Without apeaking of the monumenta that modi
known the ... e of the arta for 6 or 700 year, befoi,
the Christian era, and consequently the atate of civ
ilizt'ien, we w.ll >pek of wme of the hist viol
facts disclosed by decypheiing the mya^erioua ?rrow
beaded character* in which nil the ancient inscrip
tions of Assyria are written.
At Behiatun. midway between Babylon and Ec
batana, la an inscription cut 'n several large tabl^
on a rock at the buac of a mountain, extending to
400 line*, ia the arrow-headed character. Thia great
work haa been fully decypher?d by Major Kawliu
sau, of the British army, who hra employed much
ot his time during the Irst ten yearn in effecting it
l>r,>|V??or. Grotefend, L.*sse.i and Weaiergaard hav,
aUu !>een diligently employe?l on the same inscrip
tion, and have contributed much to it* decypher
ment and grammatical tranalation. It ia a memorial
of the time of Darius Hysta-pes, who lived in the
fixth century B. C? the purport of which, to the
historian, must be of equal interest with the peculi
arities of the language to the philologist. For the
following extracta, which are translations of a por
tion of tbis great inacription, we are indebted to a
wofk by Mr. Jahn R. Bartlett.
" I am D-iriue. the great King, the King ol
Kings, the Ki g of Persia, the King of (the depen
dent) Province*, the *on of Hystaspes, the grandson
of Araames the Archamenian.
" Says Dariua the King:?My father wm Hys
taspes; of Hyutaspes, the father was Arsames; of
Ars mes, the father w?s Aiiyeratnnes; of Ariya
ramnes; of Ariynramnes, the lather waaTeispes;
of Teispe*, the father was Achaemenes.
?' Says Durius the King On that account we
have been called Achaimenians; from antiquity
those of our race have been kings.
" Says' Darius the KingThere are eight of my
race| who have been kinga before me; I am tho
ninth; for aveiy long time we have been kings.
41 Says Dariua the King.?By the grace of Or
muzd I am King; Ormuzd has granted me the em
pire.
?> Says Darius the KingThese are the coun
tries which have fallen into my hands?by the
grace of Ormuzd I have become king of them?
Per-ia, Suaiana, Babylonia, Assyria, Arabia, Egypt;
those which are of (he sea, Sparta and Ionia; Ar
menia, Cappa locia, Parthia, Zaraugea, Aria, Cho
rasmia, Bac.ria. Sogdiane; the Sane, the Sattagy
des, Arachosia, and the Medians; the total amount
being twenty-one countries.
u Saya Dariua the King:?He who haa named
Cambysea, the son of Cyiua of our race, he waa
here king before me. There waa of that Cambyaes
a brother named Baitiua; he waa of the asme Uther
and moth r at Cfmbyaea alew this
Bartin*. WU Cambyaes slew that Bariius, the
troul.l< a of the state ceased which Bartius had ex
cited. Then Camby we proceeded to Egypt. W hen
Cambyaes had gone to Eg* pt he state became her
etical ; then 'he lie became abounding in the land,
both in Persia and in Media, aud in other provin
ces." .
He then goe* on to sj-eak of the rebellions in hi
dominion* after the death of Ombys-!-, of the Ma
gian who declared himself king, on l that n > one
dared to resist him. He continues:
Every one was standing obediently arou'id the
Mag an until I arrive?l. Then I alxnle in the wor
ship of ?)r.iinzd ; Or.nuzd brought help to mOn
the 10'h day of the month Bagayad *h I slew the
Marian and the chief men who were bis followers,
by the grave of Ormuxd I became king; OrniU2d
grnntfd me fie sceptre.''
He tl?en s?ys, he " ea'aWiahed hi" race on the
throne ua in the days of old," prohibited the sacrili
rul worship inUoducetl by t'.e Magia i. ami restoreti
thr old tumilies to office, u'l of which wn accoin
j.li?tied by the aid of Orinuz.1. The j?op e of Susi
ana and Babylon tben l?.'C '.me rebellious. II?: slew
the leader of the former.
?? Says Dariv-! the King:?Then I proeeede I to
Raby|i>n again*' 'he Nalititbous, who w.?s cal'et)
Nalxikhai'rosstr ( Nebuchaciin zzar.) rh- forces ol
Nalitehiru* held the Tigris; lh're they had come
and thiy bad U??is. 'i'hi u I placetl a detach.nent
on rafts. I brought the ene.ny into dlffiouliy ; I a*
saulted tiie eneniv's po-icioo. O muz<l brought help
io me; l?y ih?- grace of Ormi'tl I su< ce??le.l i>? |ias
ing the Tigris. '1'hen I entirely defeated the army
ol ibsl Natitabirus. On tin- 27'.h day of 'he mouth
of Atiiyata, then it was that we thus fought."
Darius then continued h?s march to Babylon,
where he wa? met by ihe army of N iritabi'U*; he
gave hiin battle and defeated bun, driving his army
into the water. He then took Babylon. It would
appear from what tbis irtonan h related, that he had
a pretty rebel'ious set of subjects, who look advan
tage of hi* absence at Bahylon. The inscription
continues:
Says Darius the King:?While I waa at Baby
lon, tiie*e are the countries that revolted against me:
Persis, Susiuna, Media. Assyria, Armeuia, 1'aithia,
Margiana. S.itisgjdia and Sucia."
He then give? the names of the rebellious lei> lers,
and of the officers aent '? Fubjugate them; thef^na
villages, or citie* where battles were fought; the day
of the month when they took p ace and the result in
every care by the help of Ormuzd. One example
will suffice. After speaking of the revolt of Arme
iiia; the inscription continues:
?' Saya Darius the King:?Then Dedarsea by
name, nn Armenian, one of my servants, him I sent
to Armenia. I thus said to b<m : ' Greeting to thee,
the rebel state that doea not obey me, smite it.'
The^Dadarses marched. When he rcached Arme
nia, then the rebels having collected ceme before
Dadartes arraying their battle .... by name, a
village of Armenia, there they engaged. Ormuzd I
brought help to me; by the grace of Ormuzd my
forces ent rely defeated that rebel army. Oh the 8:h
of the mon'h Thurawahara, then it was a battle wan
fought by them."
In ibis manner we have the whole history of the
reign of Darius, King of Persia, who filled the
throne 550 B. C. And it may te truly aaid that no
monument of remote antiquity, which has been pre
served to modern times, at all equala it in impor
tance. The inscriptions of Egypt are far more an
cient, but consist of fragments, which, excepting the
tables of kings, do not throw much light on history.
Nothing is mure interesting in the details given by
the Persian king ot his successes, than hia acknow
ledgment of an overruling power, a Supieme Being,
wbo protected him and aided him in all hia battles.
To the KilUi/r nf :iit NMioiuil I flag.
I was w II pledged ui j ?iceiv?r in several of
y >ur late numbers that you have coumenced
to expose the co upiion and mat pracice of
Mr. Polk's administration, without fear, favor,
or affection. I instance the course of several
ol the (leads of Departments in feeding, in op
position to all law or usage, ?n obscure Ger
man paper with Government patronage, in
filling its columns with advertisement, and
?fficial publications, when ii must be known
IO those Heads that this German paper has a
circulation, (as you correctly stated) of but
*bout 170 subscribers. If I mistake not, there
is h law which pavsed during the late Con
gress, directing all government advertisements
!o be published in but tteo of the newspapers
published in this city, having the largest circu
lation. Now, if this be so?and I have no room
t? doubt it, as I hive read the act my9?lf as
published by the Department of State?why
i< this additional expense incurred, which, 1
?m well informed, amounts to about eight thou
sind dollars per annum ? Is it not done to feed
a-id pension a political Charlatan, who is cur
respondent of several papers at the Norih and
who is daily lauding and puffing the adminis
tration and the several Secretaries for their
economy and honesty ? I am glad to see you
eugaged in showing to the people how they
.ire served by these very honest Heads of De
partments, and in what manner the public
lunds are applied. Continue to expose this
species of robbery and corruption and you will
receive the thanks of the country.

PUBLIC AlEEl ING*
At a meeting of the voters of the 5ih Ward,
held for the purpose of nominating suitable
persons to represent them in the next Council,
it was determined that no man would be sup
ported by them who could not, at all times, be
I ready to express his sentiments on those sub
jects, which taey considered of the most vital
importance to the Ward.
On motiun of Mr J J Rupert, it was
Resolved, 1 hat a Committee of four be a| -
pointed to wait upon Mr Thomaa Knox P Ma
key, with full power to ascertain his sentiments
in relation to those leading measures, which it
is presumed will be decided by the next Board
of Council.
Ordered, That the Chair appoint said Com
mittee.
Thereupdn, the Chair appointed Messrs
Williams, Jones, Blake and Richardson, as
said Committee.
Th? Committee, under instructions, repaired
to the residence of the above named gentleman,
who expressed not only his entire concurrence
in all wishes, in regard to the removal of the
Railroad to the grave yard, but his firm inten
tion )o obey all, and every instruction, which
they might see fit to send.
And the committee having reported the same
it was unnninously resolved, that this bod\
having been apprized of the manly and decided
manner in Kr.-Thos. Knox P. Makey has ex
pressed his opinion in regard to those measures
which it was the object of the meeting to
ascertain, they will give him that warm and
cordial ..support as wdl insure his success at
the coming election.
it being late, on motion, the meeting ail
journed, to meet this evening at the engine
house at 7 o'clock, with a view to inquire ol
the other gentleman whom it is their wi.di
shall complete their ticket.

ttvo Pills is u medicine which not only cums
but prevents disease, capable of great results, and
equally calculated to be safely used for apparently
small ones. We all know how dreadful and dan
gerous a seated bilious disorder is, and we are also*
well aware of the seeming insignificance of ita first,
warnings or incipiency. The individual suffering
from slight pains in his chest, back, or stomach, or
from occasional nau*ea,dull headache, extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness, trifling prevarication of ap
petite, and other disagreeable visitations so common
ly and foolishly looked upon as unimportant, may
not know that these symptoms, treated so contemp
tuously, arc the consequences of a diseased state of
the liver, which if not remedied, will lead either to
speedy death or alongtiainof unbearable ills which
are kuown by the following names: Hypochondria,
mania, dizziness, slow fevers, epilepsy, asthma,
dropay, rheumatism, chloraais, convulsions, nausea!
nervousness, crapms, gout, pleurisy, jaundice, irrita
bility, and violence, dyspepsia, hysterics, scurvy,foul
stomach, dry cougha, glandular affections, colds, lin
gering *ore throats, varioua disorganizations of the
great intestine, strictures and apasmodic complaints
internally, eruptions, shortness of breath, heartburn,
neuralgia, vital inflammation, flatulence, gaatric fe
vers, &c.
Sometimes, too, there ensues an irregular action
of the heart. Take these pills and suffer no more.
