THE DEATH OF WEBSTBR.
Mr. J. Buchanan Bead, of whose poetical pow
ere a recent writer in tho North British Review
expresses so decided an opinion, has written the
following on the evont of tho day:
The great are falling from us—to the dust
Our flag droops midway,full of many sighs;
A nation's glory and a people's trust
Llo in the ample pnll where Webster lies.
The great are falling from us—one by one
As fall tho patriarchs of the forest trees;
The winds shall seek them vainly, and the sun
Qaze on each vacant spaoe for centuries.
Lo, Carolina mourns her steadfast pine,
Which,like amain-mast,towered above her realm;
And Ashland hears no more tho voice divine
From out the branches of her stately elm.
And Marshfteld'S giattt oak, whose stormy brow
Oft turned the oceon tcmpost from the West,
Lies on tho shore ho guarded long—and now
Our startled Uuglo knows not whore to rest.
Fortunes made bit Advertising.—Un-
doubtedly the greatest man of tho day us an ad
vertiser is Holloway, who expends tho enor-
mous sum of twenty thousand pounds annual-
ly in advertisements alone; his name is not on-
ly to be seen in nearly every paper and periodi-
cal published in tho British Isles, but as if this
country was too small for this individual's ex-
ploits, he stretches oYer tho whole of India, ha'
ving agents in all the different purts of the up-
per, central,and lower provinces of that immense
country, publishing his iliodicamcnts in tho Hin
doo, Goozratec, and other native languages, so
that the Indian public can take tho Pills and uso
his Ointment according to general directions, as
a Cockney would do within the sound of Bow
Bells. Wo find him again at Hong Kong and
Canton, making his medicines known to the
Celestials by means of a Chinese translation.
We trace him from hence to tho Philipine Is-
lands, where ho is circulating his preparations
in the native languages. At Singapore ho has
n large depot: his agents there supply all tho Is
lands in the Indian seas. Ilis advertisements
arc published in most of tho papers at Sydney,
Ilobart Town, Launceston, Adelaide, Port Phil
ip, and indeed in almost every town of that vast
portion of tho British empire. Returning home
wards, we find his Pills and Ointment selling at
Valparaiso, Lima, Callan, and other ports in tho
Pacific Doubling tho Horn, wo track him in
the Atlantic—Monte Video, Buenos Ayres,Suh
tos, Rio do Janeiro, Bahia, and Pernnmbuco:ho
is advertising in those parts in Spanish and Por
tuguese. In all the British West India Islands
as also in the Upper and LoWer Canadtts, and
tho neighbouring provinces of Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, his medicines are as familiarly
known, and sold by every druggist, as they are
at home. In the Mediterranean wo fin 1 them
selling at Malta, Corfu, Alexandria, besides at
Tunis and other portions of the Barbary States.
Any one taking tho trouble to look at tho Jour-
nal, and 'Courier' of Constantinople, may find
in those, as well as other papers, that Hollo-
way's medicines are regularly advertised and sel
ling throughout tho Turkish empire; and even
in Russia, where an almost insurmountable bar
rier exists, tho laws there prohibiting tho entree
of patent, medicines, HolloWay's ingenuity has
boon at work, and obviates this difficulty by for
warding supplies to his Agent at Odessa, a port
situated on the Black sea,where they filter them
selves surreptitiously by various channels, into
the very heart of the empire. Africa has not been
forgotten by this indefatigable man, wllo has an
agent on the river Gambia; also at Sierra Loone
tho plague spot of the world, tho inhabitants
readily avail themselves of the Ointment and
Pills; thus wo can show our readers that Hollo-
way has made tho complete circuit of the Globe
commencing with India, and ending) as We do,
with the Cape of Good Hope, where his medt
cines are published in the Dutch and English
languages: and while speaking of Dutch, we
have heard that ho has made largo shipments to
Holland, and is about advertising in every pa-
per or periodical published in that Kingdom;we
might add that he has also started his medicine
in some parts of Franco; in some portions of
■Germany: as also in some of tho Indian States.
[Pictorial Times.
Navies.—Tho Now York Courier and En-
• quirer complains of the inefficiency of tho Na-
vy,and shows how far it is behind that of France
in all essential respects. Referring to tho im-
provements the French President has made in
• the National Marino, sinco his accession to pow
*cr, the Courier says:
"A single ship of his, the Charlemogno,
which has tiecn in commission for the last year
iu tho Dardanelles,mounting ninety guns of the
heaviest calibro, and propelled by scrcw uiachin
cry at tho rate of about ton knots an hour,might
cope successfully with any three ships wo have
in our navy. Our boaBted Pennsylvania would
bo little more than u mere timber raft before her.
As of the Charlemagne, so of the Napoleon and
several other Bcrew three deckers of the same
description, and so also of the English propell-
ers tho Sans Pareilof 81 guns, the Agamem-
non of 90 guns, the Royal Albert of 120 guns
and the three decker, Windsor Castle, match-
less in magnitude and iu power. Tho official ac
count of tlie trial trip of tho Napoleon, lately
published in tho Moniteur, states that by the
aid of her screws alone, she made eleven and a
half and twelve knots an hour, and tbat she is
capable of traversing tho Atlantic in ten days
and a half. She carries 90 guns, two month s
provisions.one months' water, a crcw of900 men
more than 1000 tons of coal, and has a propell
•cr capable of 1200 horsepower, and upacc for
carrying 6000 troops.
Prevention of Salivation.—Dr. G. Stearns
in a communication to the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal says:
«'I wish to communicate a fact to you that
lias recently fallen under my observation, which
may bo of somo interest to the profession gene-
rally. All physicians uro awaro of tho saliva-
ting cffcct of fcnlomel, and of tho inconvenience
that ariseB from sore mouths and other irritating
complaints that affect the patient. I have had
several persons under my cure, to whom I have
mixed with suporearbenata of soda, in
proportion of about twice the amount by weight
of soda. To one patient, in particular, whom I
hove attended for about two weeks, I have giv-
en three grains of calomel with six grains of so
da fluilv for fivo weeks. be«Mos administering it
frequently tho rest of the. time. As yet he has
not suffered at all from the salivating cfleet of
the calomel, which has nevertheless been very
ben< li<-i.il to him. In it possible that, these Were
nil persono not susceptible to salivation.' or is
the absence of salivation to bo attributed to the
supcrcarbonate of soda?"
MR. STANTONS' SPEECH.
We have been favored with the following ex
tract of tho lute speech of Mr. Stanton for pub
lioation. It should havo appeared yegtorday
morning, but was received at too late an hour.
[Mem Appeal.
EXTRACT FROM THE SPEECH
Of Hon. F. P. STANTON, at Odd Fellows'
Hall, on the evening of October 21, 1852.
I appeal to ovory man who has heard mo ad -
dress tho people, here or olsowhorc, from the
day of my return from Washington to the pros
ent hour, to testify that I have not spoken un-
kindly or disrespectfully of Gov. James C.
Jones, at any timo or place. He has not treat-
od mo with the same consideration. In his ro-
caption address in this town, he made an unpro-
voked attack upon me, using tho most contemp-
tuous and disrespectful terms.
Although I havo not been Governor of tho
Stato nor a member of the Sonato of tho Uni-
ted States, I flatter myself that my social posi-
tion and my character as a gentleman, are at least
equal to those of Gov. Jones. It is sheer affoe
tation for bim to pretend to treat mo with con-
tempt—an affectation which a truthful or an
honorablo man would never havo cxhibitod.—
But it is tho misfortuno of low and mean na-
tures that no elevation of position, or experience
in society, will enable tliem always to conceal
their grovelling characteristics. The man
whoso unexplained and nnatoned slanders a-
gainst General Jackson still brand his brow with
dishonor, could scarcely bo cxpected to perform
well tho part of a high-minded gentleman,even
though his utmost efforts may have been oxer-
ted to assume that character.
In speaking of the proceedings of the Whig
Convention at Baltimore, I havo heretofore re-
frained entirely from discussing tho motives of
gentlemen who there acted as delegates. 1 did
expressly declare in my first speech that the re
lations between Gov. Jones and myself were
courteous and kind, and that I would not Hay a
word iu his disparagement. This pledge I have
scrupulously kept up to the present hour. But
I feci that my lips are now unsealed, and I shall
be fully justified in opening my whole mind up-
on this subject.
It was only a few days ago that t saw the
Hon. C. II. Williams, in Lexington. He in-
formed me, in tho presence of Hon. Milton
Brown, and other gentlemen of his own party,
that prior to t he nomination of Gem Scott,Gov.
Jones ussured him that (Jen. Scott would write
a letter declaring himself in favor of the main-
tenance of tho Compromise measures, and tluit
ho, Jones, would not vote for him, unless ho did
so. Supscquently Gov. Juues professed to have
changed his opinions, und arrived at the conclu-
sion that Gen. Scott ought not to write such a
letter.
It was notorious iii Washington that Gov.
Jones Was professing to bo tho friend of Mr. Fil-
moro and the advocate of his nomination, while
there were many circumstances to prove that ho
was secretly working for Scott. Tho colebra.
tod letter to Mr. Archer, in which Gen. Scott
says, "show this to my friend Gov. Jones," kc.,
as well as the final action of those few South-
ern delegates who deserted Fillmore and voted
for Scott, leave no donbt as to tho tortuous
course pursued by Gov. Jones. His recent de-
nial, as reported in tho newspapers,of having vo
ted for Seott, is entirely harmonious with the
rest of his iuconsistoncics. If these things had
occurred with any other man than Gov. Jones,
they might have been attributed to more weak-
ness of character, change of opinion, or vacil-
lation of will. And even undor all circumstan-'
cos, 1 should never doom it my duty to inquire
into the motives Which controlled him, but for
his unprovoked assault on me, to which I have
already referred. Considering these transac-
tions in tho light of Gov. Jones' antecedents, I
feel myself authorized to believe that they are
tho result of duplicity, hypocrisy,tieachery aud
falsehood,
I havo one word more tosay beforo I quit this
subject. Let no subservient tool of Gov. Jones
play tho part of tale-bearer, and go to ropeat
what I say, at second hand, to his imperial mas-
ter. I will save him from any such dishonora-
ble service, for I will report what 1 havo new
said with my own pen.

Fellow-citizens1 I am bosieged by a thousaud
or more of the Mexicans, undor Santa Anna.—
I have sustained a continual bombardment and
cannonade, for twonty-four hours, and have not
lost ono man. The enemy havo demanded a
surrender at discretion, otherwiso tho garrison
is to be put to tho sword, if tho fort is taken.
I have answered the demand with a cannon
shot, and our flag still waves proudly from tho
walls. I shall never surrender nor retrcat:tlwn
I call on you in the narno of liberty of patriot-
ism, and of evory thing doar to tho Amerioan
character, to come to our aid, with all possible
despatch. Tho enemy are receiving reinforce-
ments daily, and will no doubt,increase to three
or four thousand in four or live days, Though
this call may bo neglected, I am determined to
sustain myself as long as possible, and die like
a soldier who never forgets what is duo to hi s
own honor and that of his country.

to be decided, are we to continue as froeiucn, or
bow to tho rod of military despotism. Shall
we J without a struggle, sacrifice our fortunes,
our lives and our liberties, or shall we imitate
tho example of our forefathers,and hurl destruc-
tion upon tho heads of our oppressors? The
eyes of tho world aro upon us, All frieuds of lib-
erty and of tho rights,of men,aro anxious specta-
tors of our conflicts or deeply enlisted in our
cause. Shall we disappoint their hopes an'!
expectations? No; let us at oneo fly to our

give renewed evidence to the world, that the
arms of firemen, lilted up in defeuco of their
rights aro irresistible.

Let us show ourselves worthy to bo freo, and
we shall be free. Our brethren of tho United
States havo, with a generosity and a devotion
to liberty, unparalleled in the annals of men,
offered us ovory assistance. Wo havo arms,
ammunition, clothing and provisions; all wo
have to do is to sustain ourselves for tho present
Rest assured that succors will not permit the
chains of Slavery to be rivcttod on us.
' Fellow-citizens, your garrison at San Anto-
nio is surrounded by more than twenty times
their numbers. Will you see them perish by
tho hands of mercenary soldiery, without an ef-
fort for their relief? They cannot sustain the
siege moro than thirty daysjfor the sake of human
ity,beforo that timo give them succor. Citizens
of the east, your brethen of the Brazos and Col
orado expect your assistance,afford it,and check
the march of tho enotuy and suffer not your own
land to become t^o seat of war, without your
immediate aid we cannot sustain the wfir. Fel-
low-citizens, I call upon you as your executive
ofliccr, to "turn out:" it is your country that do
inands your help. He wholongcr slumbers on
the volcano must bo a madman. He who refu-
ses to aid his country iu this her hour of peril und
danger is a traitor. All persons able to boar
arms in Texas arc called on to rendezvous at the
town of Gonzales,with tho least possible delay,
armed and oqui ppod for battle. Our rights and
liberties must be protected : to the battle field
march, and savo tho country. An approving
world smiles upon us; tho God of battle is on
our side, and victory awaits us.

bo sufficient for tho occasion,and that your efforts
will bo ultimately succcssful.

Bonhaui, my special messenger, arrived at La
Bahia fourteen days ago, with a request for aid
and on tho arrival of tho eueuiy iu Bexar teu
days ago, I sent an express to Colonel F.,which
arrived at Goliad on the next day urging him
to send us reinforcements—none have yet arri-
ved. I looked to tho colonies alone for aid: un-
less it arrives soon, I shall have to fight the en-
emy on his own terms. I will, however, do tho
best I can undor tho circumstances; and I feel
coufideut that the determined valor, und desper-
ate courage, heretofore evinced by mv men, will
not fail them in the last struggle; although they
may be sacrificed to tho vougeanco of a Gothic
enemy, tho victory will cost tho enemy so dear,
that I will bo worse for him than a defeat. _ I
hopo your honorable body will hasten on rein-
forcements, ammunition is limited. At least
fivo hundred pounds of cannon powder, and two
hundred rounds of six, nine, twelve and eigh-
teen pound bulls—ton kegs of rifle powder, and
a supply of lead, should be sent to this place
without delay, under a sUllleieut guard.
If those things are promptly sent aud largo
reinforcements are hastened to this frontier,this
neighborhood will bo tho great and decisive bat-
tle ground. Tho power of Santa Anna is to bo
mot here, or in the colonies,wo had better moot
them hero than to suffer a War of dcsolatiou to
rage in our settlements. A blood-red banner
waves from tho church of Bexar,and in tho camp
ubovo us, in token that tho war is ono of vougo-
auee against rebolsj they have declared us us
such, und demanded that wo should surrender
at discretion, or that this garrisou should bo pat

ence ou mo, or my men, but to make all light
with desperation, and that high soulcd courage
which characterizes tho patriot, who is willing
to dio iu defence of his country's liberty and
and his own honor.
Tho citizens of this municipality aro all our

Work fob Ciiir-dken.—There is no greater
defect in educating children than neglecting to
accustom them to work. The parent does not
consider whether the child's work is neccssary
to the child. Nothing is moro true than that
future independence and comfort much depend
on being accustomed to work—accustomed to
provide for tho thousand constantly recurring
wants that nature entails upon us. If this were
not so, still it preserves them from bad habits,
securcs their health, it strengthens both body
and mind, it enables them better to boar the con
fincment of tho school room, and it tends more
than anything else to give them just views of
life. Growing up in tho world without knowl-
edge of its toils and cures, they view it through
a false medium. They cannot appreciate the
favors you bestow, as they do not know tho toils
they cost. Their bodies and minds are enerva-
ted, and they are constantly exposed to wliutcv-
er vicious associations are within their reach.
No man or woman is fully educated if not ac-
customed to manual labor. Whatever accooi-

LETTER FROM COL. Til WIS
to the president of the convention.
Comnandanry of the Alamo,
Bexar, March 8, l8.'i(i.
Sir:—In tho present confusion of tho politi-
cal authorities of tho country, and in tho ubscnco
of tho coinmnnder-in-chief, I bog leuvo to com-
municnto to you tho situation of this garrison. ■
You havo doubtless already seen my official re-
port of tho action of tho 25 th ultimo, made on
that day to General Sam Houston, together with
tho vur ous communications heretofore sent by
express. I shall therefore confine myself to what
has transpired sinco that dute.
From tho 25th to tho present date, tho enemy
havo kept up a bombardment from two howit-
zers, (ono a fivo and a half inch, and tho other
an eight inch,) and a heavy cannouado from two
long nine pounders, mounted on a battery on
the opposite sido of tho river, at tho distance of
four hundred yards from our walls. During
this period the enemy havo boon busily employ-
ed iu encircling eucanipmcnts on all sides,at the
following distances, to wit:—in Bexar, four hun-
dred yards west; in Lavillota, three hundred
yards south; at the powder I muse, ono hundred
yards east, by south; on the ditch, eight hundred
yards north-oast, and ut the old mill, eight hun-
dred yards north. Notwithstanding all this, a
company of thirty-two men from Gonzales,made
their way into us on I lie morning ot the lstinst.,
at 8 o'clock, and Coloiiol B. Boiihum, (a cou-
rier from Gonzales) got in this morning at 11
o'clock without molestation. 1 havo so fortified
this place, that the walls are generally proof u-
guinst cannon balls; and 1 still continue on tho
inside, and strengthen tho walls by throwing un
tho dirt At least two hundred shells have fal-
len inside of our works without having injured
a singlo man; indeed, wc have been so fortunate
as not to lose a man from any cause, and wc havo
killed inany of the enemy. Tho spirits of my
men are still high,although they havo had much
to doprcss them. We have contended for ten
days against an enemy whoso numbers aro vari-
ously estimated at from fifteen hundred to six
thousaud men, with General Ramirer Heizma
und Colonel llatres, tho aid-dc-eamp of ,Santa
Anna, at their head. A report was circulated
that Hmita Anna himself was with tho etiMiiy,
but I think it was fulw. A reinforcement of a-
bout ono thousand men is now entering Bexar

Occurrence, Wo are indebted to a friend at-
Black Creek in this county, for the particulars
of a singular and distressing occurrence in that
neighborhood, whioh caused the doath of throe
persons—tho wife Mid two daughters, one
a young lady in lior teens, tho other a small
child, of Mr. Joseph Farrell. Betweou sunset
and dark on Monday, tho 0th instant, Mr. Far-
roll wont out in bis cornfield to superintend tho
fodder-getting,leaving his brandy still, whioh ho
had been running duriug tho duy, in ohargo of
his wifo. During his absence it became neces-
sary to empty tho Vessel into whioh the brilndy
ran front the still, and Mrs. F. aud her daugh-
ter, followed by the child, attempted to do so—
tho youug lady carrying a eaudle to enable theiu
to see. Having emptied tho brandy into a bar-
rel, tho young lady lifted up tlnj funnel,and said
to lior mother, that she would touoh the caudle
to it to boo tho brandy buru. At this momont
the fumes of tho brandy wero eseupiug from tho
buug of the barrel, ana tho burning drops full-
ing into it from tho fuuncl, uu explosion follow-
ed which was heard throughout the neighbor-
hood. Mr. Farroll hastened from tho liotil and
found his wife and children enveloped in flamos.
Tho chilil diod almost instantly; tho young lady
at 10 o'clock on Wodnosday following, and Mrs.
Furroll ut 4 o'clook tho sumo evening, dir. Fur-
roll was also badly burned while endeavoring to

Horrid Butchery.—Turku Men Murder
ed.—We leurn from Cupt. Vansickle of tho A-
delalde, that three men wero murdered on the
Ohio river, on a fl itboat, about 3 miles below
Troy, Iu., last Friday or Saturday. The boat
was scuttled, and sunk in fivo foot water, und
had been deserted 48 hours beforo any one had
curiosity enough to go and examine hor. It is
a largo bout about 05 foot in length, and Was
laden with flour, whiskey, and groceries, valued
at 87,000. It is named tho Eliila No. 2, and
belonged it is thought, to Cincinnati. There
wero p.ipors found in tho boat with the names
of Miller und Gardner on thorn. Tho boat pro
senteda fearful si(:ht, with murks of blood und
stripes clearly visible from ono nnd to the other,
and the cabin, or sleeping room clearly indica-
ted that at, least two of tliem had boon murder-
ed in their beds,
The bedding was saturated with blood, and a
bloody hatchet was found on the floor.
Tho captain or pilot of the boat was a largo
man,and from tho evidence on the deck he iniHt
havo fought desperately with his murderers.—1
The bodies of three unfortunate men wero found
in the river, sunk lo the bottom with Weights,
just at tho stem of the flatboat. Their heads
were split open, and they were otherwise uwful-
ly bntchored. No cluo to tho murderers has as
yot been ascertained. It is suspicioUed tltut a
portion of tho crcw of tho boat are tho guilty
parties, and that robbing wus their object.

Cowob Isle of Wight. A "nove.1 proccss" was
used for tho recovery of tho body by one of tha
coast guards. On Friday morning, tho eircum
stance being made known to him,ho assured tho
bystanders that "if tho party wus drowned in
tho neighborhood ho would discover the body by
means of a now loaf of broad, in wliicli should
be deposited three ounces of quicksilver, when
the loaf would float till itvostod over 'whoro tho
body might lay." However eiftruordinary it
may appear, tho experiment was tried, and on
tho loaf becoming stationary, a boat hook was
nut ovcrbof.rd beneath it, and brought up tho
body. Tho man states that this is tho fourth
instance iu which tho experiment hus boon tried
by him with succcsy.
