Messrs. A. H. A. D. Sands; Gkntle.mkn ;?Having
used, and witness -d the effects of your excellent
preparation of Sarsapari.la on different persona
in various parts of the southern country, viz; Virginia,
Isiuisiana, Texas, am: Mexico, 1 feel much
pleasure in staling the Itigl: opinion entertained of
its great medicinal value. In my own case it acted
almost like a charm, removing speedily the enervated
state of the system, and exciting in the most
agreeable manner a tonic aid invigorating influence
Your Sarsaparilla is highlyapproved and exten- I
sively used by the United hi:,in ai my in Mcxi. o, J
and 111 y cousin, General Z lnry Taylor, has for j
the past five years I-ecu in tlie iiabitof using it, and
recommends the same ; he ami mysell adopted the
article at the same time, and it is now considered
an almoat indispensable requisite in tlie army. In

Prvfcanor Webster? Further facts at lite
UitcuUon.
The countcnaiice of Professor Webster in death
was Bercno and even pleasant in its expression;
exhibiting no discoloration or sign of distortion. 1
The genial, beaming smile, with which he was
wont to encounter a friend, seemed to have just
passed over it and left its trace. Soon after the '
body was cut down. Dr. Putnam repaired to Cambridge
to communicate intelligence of the execu- |
tion to the, bereaved family. For some days, '
through the vague communication of a friend, they ;
hud been anticipating that each interview with the
prisoner might be the last ; although they left the
cell and the jail on Thursday, not supposing that ,
the execution would take place the next day. As
they entered their carriage, however, they noticed
a bustle about the jail, and the assembling of a
crowd, from which they drew dreadful auguries of
the. imminence of the fatal event; and when the ;
visit of Dr. Putnam was announced yesterday j
morning, they at once knew that all waa'.yi r. We '
drop the curtain ever the scene of domestic an- ! ,
guish thai ensued. It was not unrelieved by hopes '
that the fallier and husband had deeply and sincerely
repented of his crime; and that the bitter- j i
iiras of death was alleviated by sincere religious i
preparation and prayer to the Most High.
Dr. Putnain having inquired of the prisoner yes- | 1
terday morning, before the religious exercises in i
the cell, whether there were any points he would (
like to have touched upon in the prayer, Professor j t
Webster replied that there were two which it would t
bo agreeable to his feelings to have introduced; t
one was, that the hearts of liis fellow-men might be ! i
softened towards liiin afier lie w as gone; the other j
that every consolation from heaven for the suffer- | i
ing lie had inflicted might be vouchsafed to the j
family and relatives of the late Dr. Parkrnan. In
its health-restoring virtues will make it generally
known throughout the In stil aud breadth of our
widely extended country.

REMARKABLE CUKE OF BRONCHITIS.
New York, February 17, ISS.
Messrs. Sands: Having' suffered many years :
with a disease of my throat, affecting the larynx, '
during which time 1 was treated Ly the most distinguished
physicians in Europe and the United
States, without receiving any permanent benefit,
but all the tiinc my general health and strength
dv< lining, and the disease ma long fearful pmgrt ss;
cauatii- applications were used, nnd whatever else
was thought most efficient for producing a cure; :
but I am confident that the deplorable situation I
wai in, uk' laryngitis itiul' m imiip mi'u ?iui
phthisis and great difficulty 111 breathing, would
toon have terminated my life, had 1 not obtained
relief through the medium of your invaluable Sursnparilia.
I must suy, g-ntlctnen, when 1 commenced
using the Knrjnpanlla I did not place much
confidence in it* virtues; and fiis will not aurpriae
you, when you are informed 1 had tried more than '
fifty different remedies during ihr past four years, :
without any success; but after aking your Sirsaparilla
a few weeks, I was obiifed at ?.-t to yield
to evidenre. This inarvelloui specific has not only
relieved, but cured ine; and I therefore think it j
my duty, gentlemen, for thr benefit of suffering
humanity, to give you this alt'station of my cure. J
Vours, very truly, l>. I'diKNT.
Consulate of France in the United Statu.
The above statement and lignature were ac- j
knowlcdgcd in our presence ty Mr. D. Parent as
trie interview uciorc toe prayer rroteasor Webster I
alluded to his hope of meeting* in the world to ' i
which he waa about to pujs in spirit a tenderly be- I i
loved child, who died some years since. He con- 'i
versed wilh perfect eoinposure on various subjects, ! ,
mostly of a relig-ious nature. ,
During* the walk to the gallows the conversation i
was maintained mostly by Dr. Putnam, whose ob- j ,
jeet it was to keep ttic prisoner's thoughts so occu- , (
pied with sacred things, that die appalling speeta- i
ele around should not eause him to quail. Hut the
prisoner was firm to the last. Not a nerve shivered.
To Dr. Putnam's remark, "Do not regard
any thing about you?do not look," as they entered
the area, and approached the gallows, lie replied,
"I do not; my thoughts are elsewhere."
All the while the death-warrant was being rep.d, ,
Dr. Putnam kept up a cheering conversation with
him, and the prisoner responded calmly and ap- |
proprlately. it would have been difficult to prescribe
a demeanor more becoming, under the cir- ,
cumstances, than that which lie exhibited, or to
have invented words more suitable than those he
uttered. Dr. Putnam plied him with remarks to [
keep his thoughts in the right direction, and to
prevent any pause during which he might quail. J
The prisoner gratefully seconded these humane efforts,
hut without any Hurry of spirits or qcrvcus !
agitation. Dr. Putnam continued near, conversing
with him, while the officers tied the prisoner's j
arms and l<*.r-i, while the noose was adjusted round
his neck, and while the black cap was put on ' nor ]
did he retire from his immediate vicinity till just
as the fatal drop was about to descend. The |
Hushed appearance of the prisoner's face and the
effusion of tears wi re produced apparently by the i
premature and momentary tightening of the rope, \
and not, as some supposed, by agituli.,n. The last
audible words of Professor Webster, as the cap
was drawn over his face, were: "Fatueii, into
Toy HANDS I COMllUND m v spibit !"
One of our contemporaries -lutes, that the spot ac
ki ted for the gallows was that where it would be
1 roost conspicuous to the multitude. Directly the
contrary of this is the truth. It waa the object of
: Mr. Andrews to place it u here it would be us little
, conspicuous as po-siblc. With regard to the state- 1
- mr-nl lti?t flu* nridnnnr l?i.*4 n ri,rl,f in , Lim till I I
o'clock yesterday, ?c hMrc learned, (hat there WM
: nn special rig-lit on the piisoncr's part after "S o'clock,
' the lirat hour mentioned in ihcdeath warrant. The
1 wish of the prisoner, ns expressed, the evening be- |
! fore, both to Sheriff Kvelctband Dr. Putnam, was
(hat the execution might be a* nroinpt as possible.
He said that he would be reaoy at any moment
alter * o'clock. This request the Sheriff observed
so far as the convenience and decorum of the occa
sion would allow.
For some days before h:s death, Professor Webster
'a favorite reading, neat to the Hible, was in
(t'hanning's Works, lie also found much to soothe
him and gratify his religious and literary taste in
Bowring't " Matins and Vespers," and in Longfellow's
Collection of llytnns. lie made presents of
the last-named works, with appropriate passages
marked in them, to various friends. The body wi,
taken to tbe house of Mrs. Webster, in Cambridge,
last night. The funeral will take place early torn
ii row morning, the services licitig performed at
the house by the Rev. Dr. Walker.

Riv.bi. Pabbman?Dear Sit. I cannot leave this
woild in the peace of mind for which I pray, without
addreasing you as the head of that family
which I have so deeply injured and atUioled, to
make known to you and them the hitter anguish of
soul, the sincere contrition and penitence I have
felt at having been the cauie of the affliction under
which you and they have been called to mourn. I
ran oil. r no excuse for my wicked and fatal ebullition
of passion but what you already know, nor
would I attempt to palliate it. I have never, until
tbe two or three last interviews with your brother,
felt towards him any thing but gratitude for his
many acts of kindness and friendship. That I
should have allowed the feelings excited on thoec
i oc< anions to have overpowered me ao as to involve
the life of your brother, and my own temporal and
eternal welfare, I can even now hardly realize.
I may not receive from you forgiveness in thia
world, yet 1 cannot hut hope and Itclicvc yon will
think of me with companion, and rrinrmler me
in your prayer* to linn who will not turn away
from the humble and repentant. Ilad I many
live*, with what joy would I lay them all down,
could I, in the -least, atone for the injuiy I have
done, or alleviate the ultiiction I have canned; hut
I can now only pray lor lorjjpvrneas tor myaelf and
for every conatilation and bit minjr upon every inemtier
of your tamily. Injustice to thoae ilea real to
inc, I k(j to arnnire you, and 1 entreat you to be
licve me, no one of my family had thr slightest
doubt ol my entire innocence up to the moment
when the contrary vn communicated to thrtn
Dr. Putnam That they have your sincere pity
and aympalhy I feel aaatired. 'fhere D no family
towards every member of which I hat-e Hlwaya
felt a greater decree of respect and regard than
that of which you aro now the head, from more
than one 1 have reieived repeated acta of friend*
shin arid kindness, for whh h I have ever her n and
am moat truly grateful.
Toward* yourself in particular have not only my
own f?-< ling* l>e< n thoar of the most sincere regard
and gratitude, hut every individual <?f my family
haa lrIt toward* you that you were thrir putor and
friend. Often ha* iny wife recalled the interest you
took in her from her first beeomingyour pari*h-oner.
anil often ha* ahe tpoken, with feeling* of deep gratitude,
of the influence of your public ministration*
and of your private instruction* and convereation*.
and of your direction of her iuquiriea and reading in
what related to her religioue viewa. These she ha*
olten reealled and referred to a* having firmly establi*hed
the religious faith and truet which are
now auch source* of consolation and support to her
and our children, a* well n? to myself. Nothing
thai liaa occurred haa weakened tlime feeling*, an<1,
although thoee I leave lieliind me may not meet
you without the keenest anguish, I lru*t you will
exonerate them from any participation in, or knowledge
of, the fathei'a tin, up to the moment I have
mentioned, and may you remember them in your
prayer* to the Father of the fatlierle**, and the widow'*
God.
I beg you, my dear air, to consider thin strictly a
private letter, and by no m?M to give it publx ity;
At the snine time I will request you to m?ke known
to the immediate members of your lainily the state
of my feeling* and my contrition.
That every consolation and blessing may be |
vouchsafed to yourself and every member of your
family, is the heartfelt prayer of
Voura, moat r cspeetfnlly,

French Mode of Fishing,
General Dearborn, of Roxbury, has furnished the
Huston Courier with*an account of the "Bultow"
mode of fishing for cod, which was introduced by
the French into Newfoundland, and is now eaten
lively practised on Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron,
and Superior, for taking the salmon-trout and other
large fish which abound in thoac waters. The account
is taken from a report on the Sea and River
Fisheries of New Brunswick, within the Gulf of
St. Lawrence and Hay of Chalcur, by M. II. Perley,
esq., of St. John, N. H , and will doubtless be 1
tead with interest by our own fishermen:
"The but tore is a long line, with hooks fastened ! (
along its whole length, at regular distances, by
shorter nnd smaller cords called snoods, which arc
six feet lor.g. and are placed on the long line twelve
feet apart, to prevent the hooks becoming entangled.
Near the hooks these snoods arc formed of
separate threads, loosely fastened together to guard
against the teeth of the fish. Ituuys, buoy-ropes,
nnd anchors, or grnpnels, are fixed to each end of
the line; nnd the lines are always laid, or, as it is
termed, 'shot' across the tide; for if the tide runs
upon the ends of the line the hooks w ill become entangled.
These 'set lines' have been some time in
use on the coast of Cornwall, in England, and the
mode is there called 'Huller* fishing. This mode
OI namng is mum prtcuiru uu inc- *rnuiui ui
Ireland, where it is called 'Spilliord' or 'Spillct'
fishing.
"In a petition from the inhabitant* of Bryant's
Cove, in Newfoundland, to the legislature in 1*>4(>,
it ia elated that the Hollow' mode of fishing had
lieen introduced in that vicinity the prcvioui year, .
at first by a tingle line or'licet,* m it ia termed, [
of one hundred nooks; and tliia proved an successful
that, before the end of the aeaaon, aeventy five
'fleets' were uaed, aotne of thcin three hundred ]
fathoma long. The prtitioncra reprcaent that the
aet line,' or 'Hullow,' ia the licsl mode of fishing
ever Introduced into those waters, as being lesscxpensive
in outfit, and keeping boats in repair; that j
a 'si t-line' will last three years, and with some |
even longer; that the total expense of fitting out, |
with a gross of hooka, ia only fifty shilling*; ami
that it ia not moved during the season, except for
overhauling and hailing the hooka, until the fish
move out into deep water in the autumn.
"It was a common thing during thcaeason forone
and a half quintals of fish to be taken off a gross of I
hooks in the morning. The lines are overhauled J
and fresh baits nlaceilon the hooks every morning
and evening The petitioners then stale that 'like
all new inventions, the "set line,'or 'llullow,' has
to struggle against many hindrances from Igno- 1
ranee and bigoted attachment to the old method;
yet as your petitioners have endeavored to show,
the Jlultow has proved Itself what may be fully
termed the rooa man's ratsno.'
"For the rleep s> a fishery, the Hultow is of great
length. The French fishing veasels chiefly anchor
on the Grand riatik of Newfoundland, in about 4.'<
fathoms water; veer out 100 fathoms of cable, and
prepare to rati li Cod, with two lines, each 3.if*1
fathoms in length, (or nearly seven miles together.)
The hooks lietng (anted, the lines are neatly coiled
in half hnahel liavlrets rlrarT.ir runnlnir out. 1 he
baaUeta are placed in tan utrorif built lug- ??'!
boaia, and at three o'clock in the aftrrtvain, both
inake aail toother, nt rlg-ht anglea from the veaael,
on oppoaite (idea; when the tinea are run out <
trai/ht, they are aunk to within five feet of the
bottom.
"At day break neat morning. the boata proceed to
trip the rlnker* nl the exlreinitiea of the linea, and
wlnle the crew ol each boat are hauling in line and
unhooking- f ah, the men on board hearein the other
enda of toe linea, with a winch. Inthia way four
hundred of the large Rank Cod are commonly taken
in a night. The French veaaela engnged in the
fiahery are Irotn lot' to 3tMI tona burthen. I'her arrive

mouths. In fine weather the largest class of ves
sels frequently run out three or four Hultows' in
different directions from the ship, and thus fish
10,000 fathoms or more of line, at one tinic, (over
eleven miles in length.)
" The French employ 360 vessels, with crews,
amounting to 17,000 men, in the Newfoundland
fisheries. Their annual catch of Cod averages .
I,'200,000 quintals. The government bounty is
aleven francs (over two dollars) perquintal, which
is fully the value of the fish. A French vessel for
Lhe Bank fishery, of 300 tons, has a crew of at least
10 men, ami from 7 to 0 heavy anchors, with ^OU

Fiat eaoor ConDAoa.?To acommercial city like
New York, the discovery of any process which, by
mproving machinery, makes life more secure and
the transportation of merchandise less hazardous,
must be regarded with interest, and not only this,
but be adopted the instant its merits shall be made
apparent. Such a discovery has iieen made, we
think, by Professor J. 11. Johnson, now in this city,
rn route for Europe. Profoaaor Johnson now ofb-ra
to the let. of the t onr.u.ei cial interests of die world
specimens of cordage and wood which are incombustible;
nut utterly impervious to any and all degrees
of heat for auy length of time, but cordage
and wood whose structure will remain firm as long
as the iron that enters into the composition of ships
tml fire-proof safes.
The terrible wrecks of the Lexington, the Atantic,
the Griflith, and the thousund other uccilents
where valuable lives havu been wasted from
ni'fficieiit because perishable steering apparatus,
ind the untold losses of papers from (ire, when
heir possessors depended upon "safes," admonish
:very one ol trie value and the interest telt in the
tucces* uf such u discovery as the one now chulenging
the closest scrutiny. Measures have been
aken to secure the benefits of litis invention to its
author, and wc shall atteiupt to give some idea of
tie process.
We may briefly say that the vegetable matter,
v he titer til wood, hemp, or cotton, ts first submitted
is a process which has tiic same effect upon it
ts is produced upon wood in a charcoal pit, l>y
covering it from the atmosphere while burning,
fins process, all know, produces a fuel deficient in
the most important property necessary for rapid
combustion, y ot capable of .making' a most intense
heat when burned tit a position where it can at<aorb
the uxygen withheld from it while burning in the
pit. This process of abstracting front vegetable
tibrc the element producing combustion so Ireely,
is very simple and cheap; but the inventor docs not
stop with simply reducing the elements for combustion,
hut, by another and equally beautiful process,
charges the fibre with elements that are utterly
opposed to combustion; a substance as impenetrable
to lire as iron, and at an expense which
will allow its application as well to the coarsest cutton
bagging as to the wheel-rope upon which so
alien depends a thousand lives.
No one who had witnessed the rav^ge^ of fire
can examine trie material and not feel that a remedy
has been found which, it It cannot place us in
complete control of fire, wilt enable us to check its
course, when, by lastctiiug upon the dresses of our
families and the cordage uf our ships, it may rob
is of all we hul-1 dear. Hy this process every fathom
if cordage and every yard of fabric from our looms
an be made fire-proof, at a cost so trifling as to
jc almost below computation. As a substitute for

war-boats crossing at daybreak a broad river running
with floating ice, with the majratic figure of
Washington in uns new and expressive altitude,

striking aa it ia picturesque. The composition ia
admirable, and the grouping of the figures full of
animation and ease The picture will lie an ornament
and an honor to our country. '

A better location than San Antonio for cotton or
wool!e.n manufactures, says the Galveston Jmt'nal,
could not well be chosen. A pure and unfailing
stream, not subject to freshets, mid of sufficient volume
to give almost any amount of power, ia one
recommendation; and another, which ihe Ttxnn
does not mention, la the cheapnees of labor, which
ran lie supplied from the Mexican population of that
city. Surrounded with good cotton growing lands,
and the beat pasturage in the world for sheep, the
manufacture of either cotton or woollen goods, of
both, cannot fail to yield a profitable return,
A'lnoh slcimhouts refuse to adopt, this is all that
"ould be wished, and must for that purpose lie universally
used. Upon wood, for safes, its effects are
almost fabulous, and the fact will.hardly be credited
that u small turned box, tilled with papers, stood
the test of seven hours' tire in a sale, the iron of
which was either melted or burned out, leaving- the
wood as bright and the papers as clean as when
they came troin the turner's and the printer's hands.
The \orlh lintiali /ferine, in an article on the
Literary Profession, has these reflections on an rco
nonncal use of vitality among writers:
"Literary nten are sad spendthrifts, not only of
their money, but of themselves. At an age when
other men arc in the possession of vigorous farul
tics of mind and strength of body, they are often
used-up, enfeebled, and only capable ol effort under
the influence of strong stimulants. If a man
has the distribution of his own time?if his literary
avocations arc of (lint uature that they can he followed
at home?if they demand only continuous
effort, there is no reason why the waste of vital
energy should be greater in his case than in that
of the follower of any other learned profession.
A man soon discovert to what extent lie con
safely and profitably tax his powers. To do
well in the world he must economize himself no
lees than his money. Kesl is often a good investment.
A writer at one time is competent to do twice
as well as at another; and if his leisure be w> 11 employed,
the few hours of labor will be more productive
than the many, at the time; and the faculty
of labor will remain with bitn twice aa long.
Kcst and recreation, fresh air and bodily exercise,
arc essentia! to the author, and lie will do well
never to neglect them. Hut there are professional
writers who cannot regulate their hours of labor,
and whose condition of life it is to toil at irregular
limes and in an irregular manner. It is difficult,
we know, for thcin to abstain from using them
ncivrj up prcrrmiurciy. ntpcateu paruxyims ui
lever wear down the itronrat frame*; and man}
a literary man is compelled to live a life of fever, between
excitement and exhaustion of the mind.
We would counsel all public writer* to think welt
of the beat means or economising themaelvca?the
!m>*i mean* of *;>ending their time off duty. Rest
ami recrcutiun, properly applied, will do much to
counteract the destroying intluences of spasmodic
latmr at unseasonable hours, and to ward oil premature
decay. Hut if they apply excitement of
one kind to repair the ravages of excitement of
another kind, they must be content to live a life of
nervous irritability, and to grow old before their
tune."
A new Pictcue by Lkctse.?A German correspondent
of the l.ilrrary World alludes to the
litis*, of Leasing, to which wc referred the other
day, and also to a new picture by our countryman,
Iicutze:
"While at Rolandscck, 1 went twice down to
Dusseldorf, w here is, you know, the best school of
namting in Germany. I saw there, just finished.
Leasing'a lluss, whn h ha* been purchased by the
Prussian consul in New York. It is a noble work
and a most valuable acquisition to our couutrr,
where it is to be exhibited, and where, for the sake
of the beholders, I hope it will be seen by tens of
thousands. Leutse, of Philadelphia, is at work on a
large picture, which will greatly add tohisalrsady
high reputation. I had not beard of it, and, on entering
his sparious studio, the grand figure of

filled me at once with admiration Washington
is seen in profile, standing in front of the foremost

on the low deck, where, just before him, are
three men, the front astride the prow clearing the
floating ice with Ins feet and paddle, and the other*
seated at cither side assisting him. The great
lender's gnze is intently fixed on the distant shore,
for the real breadth of the river is given, as easenlial
to vindicate the difficulty ol the enterprise.
