HARPKR'S ferry.
The scenery at Harper's Ferry, Virginia,
is perhaps the most picturesque in the Uni
ted States. The view of this delightful spot
from the summit of the Blue Ridge, is en
chanting. Lofty and difficult of access as
the top of the Kidge proves to the uninitia
ted the grandeur of the scene below fully
com pen-nates the adventurer for his trouble,
immediately beneath your feet rolls the Po
tomac aud Sheuandoah, encircling in their
folds the beautiful village of Harper's Ferry;
then forming a junction, their waters flow
on in silent beauty until lost amid the gorges
of the distant mountains. Far in the dis
tance are seen a succession of woody plains,
diversified with farm-houses and villages,
gradually growing more and more indistinct,
until they fade away into the summits of
the Alleghanies. Mr. Jefferson, in his bril
liant description of this scene,says:
" The passage of the Potomac through
the Blue llidge is, perhaps, one ot the most
stupendous scenes in nature. ^ ou stand on
a very high point of land; on your righl
comes up the Shenandoah, having ranged
along the foot of the mountains a hundred
miles, to seek a vent ; on your left approach
es the Potomac, in quest of a passage also;
in the moment of their junction they rush
together against the mountain, rend it asun
der, and pass off to the sea. 1 he lirst glance
of this scene hurries our senses into the
opinion that the mountains were formed
first; that the rivers began to flow after
wards; that, in this place particularly, they
have been dammed up by the Blue Hidge of
mountains, and have formed an ocean which
rilled the whole valley; that, continuing to
lise, they have at length broken over at this
spot, and have torn the mountain down from
its summit to its base. The piles of rock
on each hand, but particularly on the She
nandoah?the evident marks of their dis
ruption and evulsion from their beds by the
most powerful agents ot nature, corrobora
ting the impression. But the distant finish
ing which nature has given to the picture is
of a very dillerent character; it is a true
contrast to the foreground; it is as placid
and delightful as that is wild and tremen
dous; for the mountain being cloven asun
der, she presents to your eye, through the
cleft, a siiiall closet of smooth blue horizon,
at an infinite distance in the plain country,
inviting you as it were from the riot and
tumult roaring around, to pass through the
breach, and participate in the calm below.
Here the eye ultimately composes itself, und
that way too the road happens actually to
lead. You cross the Potomac just above its
junction, pass along its side through the
base of the mountain for three miles, its
terrible precipices hanging over you, and
within about twenty miles reach Frederick
town, and th? fine country round that. This
scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic."
Enthusiastic as Jefferson is in this descrip
tion, he does not exceed the truth. Foreign
ers have borne ample testimony to the splen
dor of the prospect from the lop ot the ridge
at Harper's Ferry, admitting that there are
few scenes in Europe which surpass it. It
is time to do justice to American scenery
Hundreds of our citizens annually cross the
Atlantic, for the purpose of visiting the sce
uery of Europe, under the mistaken suppo
sition that their own countn nil 'ills nothing
to compensate them tor the uouble of a visit.
This ignorance is less general than formerly,
but it still prevails to a considerable extent;
yet no country affords finer or more mag
nificent scenery than America. -"Go op the
Hudson, travel along the banks of the Sus
quehanna, cross the Alleghanies, or ascend
the Catskill; loiter over the fairy-like wa-,
.ters of Lake Huron, and you will cease to |
believe that America affouls no scenciy to
rewHi'd the traveller- V\ e sa_\ nothing ol
Niagara, or Tteulon falls, or ol the moun
tain scenery scattered all over the south.
We say nothing of the vast prairies of the
-west, of the boundless melancholy expanse
of the Mississippi, of the magnificent sce
nery on the route to St. Anthony's fulls.
Let our people visit these before going abroad.
Let them learn to do justice to the country
of their birth. G. M.
Charles A. Wicklifle, Tyler's Postmaster
General, is earning an unenviable notoriety in
the canvass for Congress in his distric t. The
Whigs have pinned upon hiin.tlnit, in the law*
war, he sold bis dirty hunting shirt to a poor
volunteer for $2. This hunting-shirt business
sticks to him like the shirt of one Major Ne.^sua,
in old times.
The New Orleans National ii> apprehensive
lest General Scott's column will be cut off
When he moves on to the capital he will leave
in fiis rear 100,000 people, and find 300,000
ready to receive him. 11 disaster does not befal
our little invading army, it will not be for any
pains taken by the administration to prevent it.

Blackwood's Magazine being an exact fac-siinilie

The wide-spread fame of these splendid peri

praise. As literary organs, they stand far in ad- J
vancc of any works of a similar stamp now pub- j
lished, while the political complexion of each is !
marked by a dignity, candor, and forbearance, not
often found in works of a party character.
They embrace the views of the three great
parties in England?Whig, Tory, and Radical.
"(Blackwood" and the " London Quarterly1' arc j
Tory, the " Edinburgh Review" Whig, and the i
"Westminster," Radical. The "North British
Review" is of a more Religious cast, and has for
its editors Sir David Brewster and Dr. Ilanna, son
in-law of the hie Dr. Chalmers, of Edinburgh. Its
literary articles are of the first order, and it is lib
eral in its politics.
The prices of the reprints arc less than one-!
third of tho>e of the foreign copies; and, while:
they are equally well got up, they afford all that
advantage to the .fluvricau over the English reader.

Dlt. C. A. Van Zandt's Health Restora
tive Pills is a medicine which not only cures
but prevents disease, capable of great results, anil
equally calculated to l>e safely used for apparently
small ones. We nil know how dreadful and dan
gerous a cated bilious disorder is, and we are also
well aware of the seeming insignificance of its first
warnings or incipiency. The individual suflering
f.nm slight pains in his che-t, back, or slntnaih, or
from occasional nausea, dull headache, extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness, trifling prevarication of op
petite, and other disagreeable visitations so common
ly and foolishly looked upon as unimportant, may
not know that these symptoms-, treated so contemp
tuously, are the consequences of a diseased state of
the liver, which if not remedied, will lead either to
sfiecdy death or a |.>ng train of unbearable ills which
are known by the following names: Hypochondria,
mniiia, dizziness, slow fc\ers, epilepsy, asi'<mu,
dropsy, rheumatism, chlorosis, convulsions, nausea,
nervousness, crapmr, gout, pleurisy, jaundice, irrita
bility, and violence, dyspepsia, hysteiics, scurvy,foul
stomach, dry coughs, gUndular affections, colds, lin
gering sore throats, various disorganizations of the
ijreat intestine, stricturei and spasmodic complaints
internally, eruptions, sh>>rlift!ssof breath, henrtbiirn,
neuralgia, vital inflammation, flatulence, gastric fe
vers, Ac.
Sometimes, too, there ensues an irregular action
of the heart. Take these pills and suffer no more.
