A Century Ago*
Bui for the inopportune rush of the foreign news, and, what has siitl more subdued our moralizing propensities, the tremendous heat of the weather, last evening and night, we should have ventured a bomily this morning upon the text of fe copy, now lying upon our table, of
The Pennsylvania Gazette"—BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S Pennsylvania Gazette —of the date of June 22,1749—that ia to say, of this day one hundred years back A look at the little piece of brown wrapping paper, just thirteen by sixteen inches square, in which the philosopher Was content to address himself to the World—or wilderness of Philadelphia— at that time—not to speak of an inspec* tion of its Contents—would satisfy every one that a great many things might be said with propriety on such an interesting subject, in relation to newspapers— in relation to the world which has changed quite as much as newspapers—to Americo—to the mighty republic which Benjamin Franklin, although at that time suspecting and about to trace the existence of electricity in the clouds of Heaven, never dreamed was to flash out with more than the lightning's power and splendor from the misty future of the colonies. We have space for a single glance at one or two of its characteristics.
What do our readers suppose is the subject of the "leader" in our ancient fend reverend ante-temporary, edited by Bdnj&mto Franklin For their satisfaction We extract the whole article, which is only two liges long, is stuck away in the modestest corner of the third 'Column of the third page, and is about all the matter in the whole paper that bears unmistakable evidence of its ori-
It is in the following words
g'n"All persons indebted to B. Franklin for a year's Gazette, or more, are desired to pay."
Another remarkable feature about this ancient Philadelphia paper, is the advertisements it contains of the sale of slaves, of which we find three or four, one relating to a whole "snow" load of "men and women servants," with "indentures "a negroe wench, 19 years old," who "can wash, iron, and cook very well "a likely negroe woman with a young child," "fit for town or country business "a young negroe man" "who has had the small pox," &c., kc., &c. Decidedly, the world is one hundred years older in Philadelphia. North American, June 22.
WABASH AND ERIE CANAL.—As our readers generally, feel a deep interest in this one great branch of internal improvement, we have thought it advisable to glean the most important facts in relation to it.
The Trustees, since July, 1846, have completed the whole of the unfinished line from Lafayette to Terre-Haute, except the aqueduct over Sugar creek, which we are informed will be completed in time for the ensuing Spring trade.
That part of the line from Terre-Haute to Newberry—say 60 miles—which was placed under contract last year, is now in active progress of completion, and will be ready to pass boats early next summer.
The line from Newberry to Maysville, some 23 miles, divided into 49 sections, has just been placed under contract, with the express understanding that it will be completed by the 1st November, 1850, so that during the following spring we may confidently expect to be in communication with Lake Erie, at Toledo thus securing to our farmers the northern trade for their produce, should the market induce them to ship it in that direction, and also affording cheap transit for our merchants, for such heavy goods as they may desire.
In view of this improvement, our farming community may look with much confidence to the dawning of a brighter day —and the emigrant may here find cheap land and a rich soil, possessing all the advantages of those costing more money.— <Washington, Ind., Journal, June 30th>. ———————
GOLD MINES NEAR SANTA FE.—The $anta Fo Republican gives some account of minos in that region, of which but littlo has boon known of late years.— The minos are those of Sangro de Christi, about eighty miles north of Taos. That paper says that lately a resbee table citizon of the Arroya, Don CarIOS Ortivos, on a visit to these mines, worked three days with nothing but a wooden shovel, did not dig more than a half vard, and obtained eighty dollars in gold. Four others, in the year 1843, brought in five hundred dollars in gold dust, after lour days'work. The great difficulty which has heretofore prevented the working of these mines, has been the war between the Utas and Mexicans, And sinco tho entrance of tho Americans, the war with tho Apaches, as made by Gov. Washington. The proprietors of the Sangredo Christi, who have a claim from the Mexican government, are poor men without capital to work the mines, and have empowered Capt. St. Vrain to form a company for working them.
AN INCIDENT OF THE STEAMER EMPIRE. —After the Empire was struck, and While sinking, two mothers snatched What they supposed to be their own infants, and rushed upon deck, and in thbir fright threw themselves into the water. Otto of the devoted parents held tho child to her bosom, and both wero saved while tho other sustained her's till it breathed its last, yet still holdings to the body until she was rescued. The surprise of tho mothers may be imagined when they discovered that in the confusion and attending their escape they had taken the others child. And while tho poor woman who had supposed that her little one was lost pressed to her bosom her own babe, the other was frantic with grief to find too late she had preserved another's child and lost her own.
Some miserly chap to the gold dollars, that on account of their small size, they may be dropped by mistake into tha contribution box.

—The Boston
Post says there is one place there •here you will be sure to escape the disease, as the Massachusetts General Hospital advises that "no case of cholera will be admitted into that institution."
SINGULAR PHENOMENON.-^-The New York Courier says :V A gentleman who fas~resided a fong time in San Antonio, and who witnessed the late epidemic in that place, states that the water in the San Antonio river, which is celebrated for its purity, and could at any other time be used after standing several days, was unfit for use during the prevalence of the cholera, when kept a few hours. In less than a half a day a vessel filled with water from the stream emitted an offensive smell, similar to bilge water. The rain water, too, that collected in pools in the street, would be covered with a green scum the day after it fell. In addition to this singular phenomenon, the same gentleman states that the air was filled with a light substance similar to the down of a thistle, which could easily be discerned with the naked eye by looking towards the sun. The particles, when examined, disclosed minute green specks, covered, like the seeds of some plants with a substance that gave them buoyancy. These facts, however strange they may appear, are from reliable authority and however effectually the animalcule doctrine may have exploded, there is, in this instance, a seeming connexion between the cholera and the phenomenon alluded to, which merits investigation.
THE CEMETERIES AT NEW ORLEANS. —Nearly all our cemeteries are under water, so as to cause great inconvenience in the burial of the dead. Yesterday hearses were driven about from one cemetery to another, in vain search for a dry place todeposite the dead. The protestant cemetery, at the foot of Girod street, is about two feet under water, but Mr. Blakesley, the superintendent, has provided scaffolding and bridges, by which the communications through the ground are kept open, and burials can proceed without much inconvenience. The Potter's Field is all flooded. The tops of some of the graves are scarcely disccrnable above the water, and in stepping over them, the foot sinks until it meets the coffin below. A large portion of St. Patrick's and even of the Firemen's is also flooded, and the Israelites cemetcry is several feet under water. This is particularly unfortunate to our Hebrew friends,as theirreligion requires that their dead should be buried under the ground. We understand, however, thut they have made a temporary arrangement with the sexton of the Protestant cemetery, to have the bodies of their brethren deposited in vaults in the Protestant grave-yard until the flood has left their own cemetery.—N. O. Delta.
MR. MACAULAY—jBrown top Boots.— Mr. Macaulay's History of England (writes a Jersey correspondent) has been .he subjects of clerical antagonism here. Some little time since a lecture was delivered on Mr. Macaulay, at the Jersey Institution, by the Rev. J. Taplin, which excited considerable attention. The lecturer lauded the historian for his freedom and candor in exposing the inconsistencies of his own church, which provoked the displeasure of some of the Fraternity. The Rev. Mr. Richards, of St. Paul's, then announced his intention of lecturing on the same subject at the Temperance Hall. Mr. Taplin justified Mr. Macaulay's description of the Puritans, stating that the old leaven was seen in some of the rural districts within the last half century. He once heard, from the lips of an old man of the puritanic school, that when brown top boots were first introduced, he took a fancy to a «|tir, which he wore for a Sunday or two, when, to his surprise and annoyance, he was summoned to a church meeting to answer for the ungodly manner in which he appeared on the Sabbath. Tho good man with the brown tops looked as awe-stricken as if he had been charged with visiting Bartholomew Fair. The elder gravely rose^ and stated the judgment of the church, which ran thus "Should brother George Slater again appear on tho Lord's day in ungodly brown top boots, he will beexpcllod from this church" !—Economist.
FAT MEN.—Fat mon are the salt and savor of the earth full of good humor, high sp irits, fun, and all manner of jollity. Their breath clears the atmosphere their exhalations air the world. Of men, they are the good mcasuie# --1 briinmed, heaped, pressed down, piled up and tunning over. They are as ships from TenerifTe swimming deep, full of old wine, and twenty steps down into their holds. Soft and susceptible, all round thoy are easy of entreaty.— Wherefore, for all their rotundity, they are too often circumnavigated by hatch-et-faced knaves. Ah 1 a fat uncle, with a fat paunch, and a fat purse, is a joy and a delight to all nephews to philosophers, a subject of endless speculation, as to how many droves ol oxen and Lake Eries of wine might have run through his great mill during the full term of his mortal career. Fat men not immortal 1 This very instant old Lambert is rubbing his jolly abdomen in Paradise.—Melville's Mardi.
Fenelon said, 'If the crowds of all tho kingdoms of Europo were laid down at my feot, in exchange for my love of reading, I would spurn them."
Walter Savage Lander, one of the ol dest living English authors, in a recent letter to Cord Dudley Stewart, asserts that the world is at the commencement of a crueller and longer war than history has recorded a war of civilization against barbarism, of freedom against despotism of nations agains cabinets. He adds, that in twenty months, or earlier, Russia will be on the frontier of France, or perhaps within it.

SWAYJTE—Dear Sir: About six years ago I discovered that my lungs were affected, of which I became more convinced from time to time, although I tried many remedies yet without any apparent benefit, and my disease increased until I was compelled to keep my room, and at last my bed. I had great pain in ray left side, upon which I could nor lay in bed, and in the morning my cough Was so severe that I found it very painful to throw up the phlegm which gathered in great quantities on my lungs, when fortunately 1 bought of your agent in this place, one bottle of your Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which so much relieved me that I continued using it until now. I have used six bottles, and am happy to tell you that my pains are removed, my strength returned, my sleep is undisturbed and sweet, and I feel perfectly well. I can now follow my daily avocation without being afflicted with that painful

flOf- In NERVOUS COMPLAINTS, Drugs and Medicines incrtate the disease, for they weaken the rital energies of the already prostrated system while under the strengthening, life-giving, vitalizing influence of Galvanism, as applied by this beautiful and wonderful discovery, the exhausted patient and weakened sufferer is restored to former health, strength, elasticity and vigor.
Tbe great peculiarity and excellence of Or. Christie's Galvanic Ouratires, consists, in the fact that thev arrest and care disease by outward application, in place of the usual mode of drugging and phvsicking the patient, till exhausted Nature sinks hnpelensly under the infliction.
They ttrtngthen the whole system, equalise the circulation of the blood, promote the lecretiom, and tievtr do the slifhletl injury under any circnmtlancet. Since their introduction fn the United States, only three years since, more than
60,000 Persons
including all ages, classes and conditions, among which were a large number of ladies, who are peculiarly subject to Nervous Complaints, have been
ENTIRELY AND PERMANENTLY CURED, when all hope of relief had been given up, and every thine else been tried in vain
To illustrate the use of the
GALVANIC BELT,
suppose the case of a person afflicted with that bane of civilization, DYSPEPSIA, or any other Chronic or Nervous Disorder. In ordinary cases, stimulants are taken, which, by their action on the nerves and muscles of the stomach, afford temporary relief, but which leave the patient in a lower state, and with injured faculties after the action thus excited has ceased. Now compare this with the effect resulting from the application of the GALVANIC BELT. Take a Dyspeptic sufferer, even in the worse symptoms of an attack, and simply tie the Belt around the body, using the Magnetic Fluid as directed. In a short period the insensible perspiration will act on the positive element of the Beit, tnereby causing a Galvanic circulated which will pass on to the negative, and thence back again to tbe positive, thus keeping up a continuous Galvanic circulation throughout the system. Thus the most severe cases of DYSPEPSIA are PERMANENTLY CURED. A FEW DAYS IS OFTEN AMPLY SUF FICIENT TO ERADICATE THE DISEASE OF yEARS.

A Voice from Mexico
To Dr. Chriitii:: Respected Sir and Friend—1 have always been subject to that dreadful complaint, Rheumatism, but I never knew what agony a human being could suffer, till I joined the Army. I was engaged in all of GENERAL TAYLOR'S battles, and was at Cairo Gordo with GENERAL SCOTT. During a portion of the Campaign we were much exposed to the night air in damp situations, and I soon perceived that this favored my old complaint. The first attack of the enemy (I mean Rheumatism) I had in Mexico, was in the right shoulder then my whole arm got stiff, and I could scarcely hold my musket—and one morning in the month of March last, after sleeping under the Chaparral, I could scarcely raise myself. I fairly shrieked with acony. I was soon after placed in the surgeon's hands, but I continued to get worse and worse. The pains extended all over my body, in my head, and even in my ankles and toes. At Sah Angelo 1 got my discharge, and when 1 arrived in Boston, I was helpleas, hopeless and perfectly miserable. I would take no more medicine, for I had taken too much already but reading your advertisement, induced me to send to your Agent, Mrs. E. KIDDER, Court street, and get a Gal
vanic Belt
St. Louis at $5, and
and Maokktic Fmmo. The second day 1
wore the Belt and used the Fluid, I was much better, and in about one week I was so encouraged that 1 was not satisfied with the Belt alone, but I got a pair of the Galvanic Bracelets for the limbs. These soon put me on my feet, and in a few days I was enabled to walk to Mrs. KIDDER'S and tell my story. She told me to persevere, and said she had Known persons as bad as I was to get entirely cured. From this time I got better every day—all pains gradually left me, and my strength rapidly returned, and for four months past I have been entirely well. I feel as vigorous and elastic as I ever felt, with the exception of a little stiffness in my right arm. but I have not a particle of pain of any kind. My cure is truly wonderful, and I can never feel too grateful to you, for I believe vonr Galvanic articles have saved my life, as I do not believe I could have lived much longer in such drcadftil sgony.

To THE rvai.tc I voluntarily make this state ment from feelings of duty and gratitude. In the month of January, 1847, I took a severe Cold, which WM ACooAplflice with tbt moti ptinful Khtoiniuc attacks. I was attended by Dr. Myrtle of East Broadway, and Dr. Nichols of Colnmbia-st., by whom I was several times cupped. As I did not gftt better, Dr. Stilweli, No 50 8uHoik st, was called in, who salivated me with mercury, which left me in a very weak stata, and almost entirety deaf. Shortly after I was attacked with violent Fits and was altogether in a very dreadfol condition. Having by this Ume lost all fluth in Medicine and physicians, I determined, as a last to try DR. CHRISTIE'S GALVANIC BELT A MAGNETIC FLUID. At this time I could scarcely hear a single word. Ia a very few days after putting on the Belt there was an improvement in my general health, and sir hearing was decidedly better In about six weeks I had quite recovered
hope, A N
health, and for
eight months my hearing lias been perfect had no attacks of Rheumatism, and not the

THE ARABIAN'S VADE MECll j. H.'G.'Fflrroll's Arable Liniment.'
THIS
celebrated medicine, skillfully composed Ss it is of the most besling balsams, can never fail to inrfe tumost every affliction that can ber alleviated by au external remedy. Its superiority above all other liniments i^proven byjtho mlracttl ott» cures it performs, and by the great and constantly increasing demand there is for this Valuable Ara-! bian Preparation. The Arabs, from their wandering mode of life, are often afflicted with distressing diseases, and also subject to accidents of the most, severe kind consequently thiSy would require aa externantpplication '1
virtu# to effect a cure
This slons must rdfcjer a. sHflt(ul. compound ot\ healing properties a matter of vital iptportanoe to themuanu and the Well known cafa and st'entlon,
thev bestow ugift their horses, so noted for bsattty ana speed, must also greatly increase their desire to possess a really valuable Liniment.
It ia well known that the Arabians are zealous *..: students of botany, and the fertile and beautiful. ,,t region which skirts the Desert sbqutids wjth rare plants and odorous woods, whence they procure those gums snd fragrant balsams of which this incomparable liniment is composed. It (has accotn- :.. plished the moat extraordinary cures of rheums* tism, one application removing the most actite pain, and a continued 4ise effecting cures of casos of long standing and of the greatest severity. In Irwa of power of the limbs, or paralysis, it stands °*\*r at the head of all remedies, restoring the use of limbs to persons who long were a burden to themselves and all others—numorous cases of which, wherein the flesh had entirely wasted away, leaving nothing hut the dry skin on the bone and the limb rendered useless and without feeling, this alN powerful medicine caused healthy flesh to grow and fill up the shrivelled part, and rwtored strength to the limb. It is a specific in afluctions of tne apine, many cases of three years' standing having r* Man entirely cured by the use of it. We say int if, and prove to your own satisfaction the rare qualities it possesses. It is unequalled for sprains bruises, cramps, cuts, all swellings, salt rheum, frosen limbs, burns, tumors, paiiis of all kinds, sore eyes, fcc. &c. and is superior to all other remedies for horse flesh in almost all cases Which require an external application.

',ea™ any medicine that
was half so good as your Liniment. I would recommend it with thegreatestconfidence to all who havehorses. They should always have it on hand, so that it could be applied immediately in case of accident, and thereby save the life of many a valuable horse I havo used it in the very worst case# of sweeney withentiresuccess alsosplint, sprains bruises, galls, wounds, sore eyes, &c. Two most extraordinary cures I must mention in particular I got up very early ono morning, and on looking into my pasture discovered my favorite horse limp ing and dragging a rail after htm. On going up close to him, to my amazement and horror, tho rail was sticking in his stomach, between the flanks, to the depth of eight inchos, and so tightly that it took three hard pulls to extricate it after which the poor animal suffered the utmost agony. I never dreamed of his recovery, and supposed that no human hand could savo him. The well known virtues of your Liniment flashed on my mind, and it was immediately applied. By the next day I had the gratification ol witnessing the commencement of his recovery, and in six days thereafter I rodo hint to Peoria, as sound as ever, and would not take #150 for him noty. The other case was this. One of my men got his leg in the teeth of a thrashing machine, and it was only by a miracle that he was not instantly killed. His leg was horribly mutilated, though no bones were broken. Your Liniment was applied, and in five days he went to wdrlt dgairi. He fully believes that but for your Liniment he would never have recovered. With every wish for .the success of the Arabian Liniment, am truly yours,
HENRY 8. AIKEN.
Aikon's mills, near Peoria, March 1, 1847. (Read the following extraordinary cure ot a spinal affoctlon and loss of use df tho limbs.l
Mr. H. G. FARRELL: Pleaso sdrtd me by the bearer another dollar bottle of yoilr Arabian Liniment, which will be enough, I think, to complete ly cure my dear child. Iliave often thought that I would sit down ami furnish you with an account of my poor child's situation, 80 that you might make it public, and thus be the cause of as much benefit to some others of rrly fellow beings as it has been tome. She laid for six months without the slightest power or control of her limbs whatever, and suffered the most agonizing pain the greater portion of tho time. Even her neck wns perfectly Btiff, and so painful that she could not bear to have her head moved in the least. Thus was she for six months, during all which time wo had to carry her about on a chair when she wished to change her place. We had three of the beat physicians in the whole country attending heft but theycoi|ld do her no good. Finally, one of thqpi (the last to give her up) said he could do no more for her, and that, as I wished to act
your
Lin
iment, I could do so, adding that helknew it wa^ good, and might help her. I got It accordingly4 and she began to recover after a few applications: She can now use all of her limbs freely, arid can walk tolerably well. We are now applying it over the spine, which the doctors say is the SeSt o( the disease, and wo expect one bottle more to euro her as well aseVer she Was We have used it alsti for sprains, bruises, burns and cuts, With like sue] cess. Hoping thst thisgreat remedy Will be spread over the whole country. I am yotlrs truly,
