AMERICAN TELEGRAPH
WASHINGTON IN 8PRINU TIMK.
There is no lovelier spot than the Capitol
G rounds on a sunny spring morning. All that
nature and art can make attractive are here
combined. Whether *e thread the labyrinths
of the vast structure itself?wandering in a
wilderness of "long-drawn aisles and fretted
vaults"?or pursue the winding gravel walks
and more retired foot-paths worn in the green
grass to favorite groves and flower-beds, or
stand before the massive statue of the Fathkb
or his Country, as he sits clothed in a mantle
of unchanging white, in the act of performing
one of the noblest deeds that ever blessed man
kind,?our hearts are filled with emotions of
pleasure, or impressed with veneration and
reverence.
The view from the western steps of the Cap
itol?(the dome is better, but of less easy as
cent !)?for extensive and varied scenery, and
for natural and artificial beauty, iB unrivalled.
The broad Potomac, dotted with white sails and
black steamers, stretches as far as the eye can
traverse; while, covering the vast area in front,
are the various public buildings, including the
picturesque edifice of the Smithsonian Institu
tion, and the Washington Monument, now lift
ing its majestic head toward the spirit-home
of him whose name it perpetuates on earth.
Newport, Saratoga, Niagara Falls, Bedford
Springs and Cape May have their summer at
tractions ; but, for a spring visit, there is no
more interesting place than Washington.
The taste and enterprise of our citizens have
not hitherto been manifested in the embellish
ment of their residences; but in this a now era
iB about to dawn. There is no good reason
why Washington may not be made a oity of
gardens; and we believe that, as the facilities
are unfolded for more rapid communication
with the rest of the world, it will become such.
I5ut in our opinion nothing will tend more to
foster these improvements than the guaranty
ing to every husband and father, whatever for
tunes may attend him in life, the possession
of the homestead in which he dwells. Cot
tages would, under such a law, have adornments
a palace might envy; and permanence and se
curity would beget a fixedness of purpose and
regard for reputation that may not otherwise
be superinduced.
Education in Washington.?The Teachers
Association met on Saturday, and was again
addressed by Mr. Richards on "School Gov
ernment." Mr. R. is a thorough and practical
teacher, and his views are the result of much
observation and successful experience. We are
confident that the teachers who attend the
meetings of this Association find them highly
improving, and we regret to learn that so many
of them fail to appreciate these advantages
At the next meeting, Mr. Wight is expected to
speak on the '' manners and deportment of teach
era and scholars."

Newark Academy.
By a late re-orsanizntlon of this department of Dela
ware College, the Board of Trustees have taken measures
to place It upon a new and Improved foundation, aud to
endow it with advantages possessed by few similar Insti
tutionn In the oountry. The Academy, heretofore morgi?l
in the College, and of course subjected to all tho evils
which have been found to attend the amalgamation of the
two departments in the same building, and under the
same government, now er\joys the privilege of a separate
establishment, without losing those which result from its
relation to the College proper.
A largo and elegant edifice, with all the necessary fix
tures of a complete boarding establishment, haa been
orectcd and furnished, in which the students of the Acad
emy hoard, under the imm<-diatc charge of the Principal
and his Assistants; and all its exercises arc conducted on
a system of its own, uninterrupted bv tho interests or
operations of the other de}>artmcnt. The furniture of the
study-rooms and dormitories has been chosen with pecu
liar reference to comfort and convenience for study ; and
no expense has been spared In providing the apparatus
necessary to render the means of instruction complote;
giving to Newark Acadcmy facilities foT private study and
rom Portable accommodation of students, fully equal to
those afforded by many of our colleges.
From Its Intimate relation to the College, students of
the Academy enjoy many advantages not generally ob
tained at institutions of this kind. Those who wish to
pursue pome particular branch which foils more properly
within the College course, may lie admitted to recite in
any of the College classes. Students also of proper agn
and discretion, by recommendation of the Principal, and
permission of the Faculty, may enjoy the use of the Col
lege Library without additional charge. Admission also
may l>e had to the lectures, and such other privileges of
tho College as can be profitably enjoyed by academical
students.
The charge for Boarding, Washing, Fuel, Light, Ac.,
?with tuition In the F.nglish, Latin, and Greek, Is seventy
dollars for the Summer Session, and seventy-five for the
Winter Session. The only extras are one dollar per ses
sion for Incidental expenses, and a fee of eight dollars for
Modern languages, and a foe of five dollars for Drawing,
from those who enteT them- classes. The sessions and va
cations of the Preparatory Department are the same as
those of the College,

COLD SPRING WATER CURE.
rpiII8 NEW AND SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT for
X the scientific treatment of the various diseases with
which the human system is afflicted, Is situated about
three miles from the city of Buffalo, in a rural spot, and
so accessible from all points as to be reached without in
convenience or delay.
A line of omnibuses runs from the steamboat landings
in Buffalo to the springs every "ten minutes.
The house and grounds are near the extensive and
beautiful green-houses and nurseries of the Messrs. Ilodges
A Bryants; and the scenery in all directions is unsur
passed, as regards either variety or beauty; embracing
points of view, from which may be tuken in at a glance
the broad expanse of Lake Erie, the Niagara flowing ma
jestically towards the Falls, extensive forests, and the
"Queen City of the I<akes," with its moving panorama of
steamboats and ceaseless enterprise.
The water, taken immediately from the celobrated
"Cold Spring," is unsurpassed as regards coldness and
purity, by any in the United States. The house, recently
erected at a cost of about seven thousand dollars, has been
fitted up in a neat and elegant style, at considerable ex
tra expense, and is sufficiently capacious to accommodate
seventy-flve patients.
Connected with the establishment, and constituting one
of its attractions, are tlie fixtures and conveniences for in
nocent and healthful gymnastic exorcises.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
Tlie institution is undor the general supervision of S.
M. Davis, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of
Medicine in Central Medical College, and Geo. W. Davis,
M. D., formerly of Dansville, N. Y-., tlie resident physician,
and is permanently associated with the before mentioned
gentleman as counsel, and associate of the medical board
of control. And the friends of tho establishment deem it
a matter of felicitatffm that tho services of Miss Mary M.
Taylor, a lady of high medical attainments, who has at
tended two courses of lectures in the Central Modical Col
lege, have been secured, and that female patients can at
any timb avail themselves of hor invaluable aid and coun
sel.
The steward's department is undor the control of a gen
tleman eminently qualified for that position; and unwea
ried pains will ho taken to have every thing appertaining
to the establishment arranged on a plan, and conducted
in a way, to ensure the comfort, and promote tho health
and happiness of all who may wish to avail themselves of
its benefits. Baths of all descriptions, adapted to tho cure
of the various forms of disease, and constructed on a scale
not inferior to those of any other establishment in this
country.
An vnlightened public sentimont has everywhere repu
diated a reckless use of drugs in the treatment of disease;
while Intolerable sufferings and broken constitutions have
imperatively demanded "Reform." A return from a wide
and fatal departure from the simplicity of Nature's laws
is called for, alike by a rational love of happiness and the
deplorably exigencies of our condition. Hydropathy, or a
scientific uso of water as a rostorative and curative agent,
is a practical substitution of a simple and remarkably effi
cacious modo of curing the sick; for that system of drug
ging, depleting, and cauterizing, which, in obtaining the
mastery over disease, too frequently places tho patient be
yond the reach of further annoyance. The success of the
various Water Cure establishments in this country, to say
nothing of any other, has fully confirmed the hopes of the
early discoverers and promulgators of tho great truths
upon which tho system is founded, and renders verbal
communications unnecessary. It is deemod sufficient to
say, that the " Cold Spring Water Cure " will compare far
vorably with any of the well-conducted establishments ot
a similar character, and will be found equal to the best,
as rogards tho order, convenience, and desirableness of its
arrangements. The institution is now open for the recep
tion of patients, and in full operation.
TERMS.
For board, modical advice, attendance and nursing, Ac.,
from $7 to $14 per week, payable weekly, varying accord
ing to tlie room and attention required. Kacli patient
will be required to furnish two linen sheets, two cotton
comforters, one woollen blanket, and four towels; or,
where It is not convenient for the patient to furnish them
as above, they can be supplied at the establishment by
paying fifty cent* a week.
All communications for medical advice should be ad
dressed either to S. M. Davis, M. D.. or to(leorge W. Davis

Letter from the Hon. Henry Clay.
Ashlaxd, 20th July, 1840.
Dear Sir: I wish to express to you the gratification I
derived on receiving tho July number of the Merchants'
Magazine and Commercial Review, from viewing your
portrait in the beginning, and from reading your address
to your friends at the end of it When we feel under ob
ligations to those who have contributed to our informa
tion and amusement, we are naturally desirous to possess
all the knowledge of them, of their appearance, of the fea
tures of their countenance, and of tlie character and hab
its of their mind, which we can acquire. You have placed
your numerous readers (at least you have me, if I may
not sj?ak for them) under those obligations; and tho
numlwr of your valuable work now liofore me, in some
degree, satisfies the desire to which I have alluded.
I have become qulto familiar with the Magaaine and
Review, ami have no hesitation iu expressing my humble
opinion that it Is eminently entitled to the public regard
and support. It collects and arranges, in good order, a large
amount of valuable statistical and other information, i
highly iMoful not only to the merchant, but to the states
man, to tlie cultivator of the earth, to the manufacturer,
to the mariner, in short, to all classes of the business and
reading community. '
Entertaining this opinion. I am glad that it has been, and
hop* that it may eontinuo to be, liberally patronized.
Ottering you cordial assurances of my esteem and re
gard, I am truly your friend and obedient servant.

" I have read it (Merchants' Magazine) with a good '

think it one of the most valuable periodicals that was
ever published. To the merchant it seems quite indis

that well replenished, of all the lvcful matter which the

clearness which delights while it Instructs. It is, in fact,
a merchant*' magazine In the large acceptation of tlie
term?merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations bring many departments of knowledge, anil a
view of Oie state of the world, Into dally requisition. But
it is not the great merchant only, but tho one of more
modest, but, nevertheless, of most useful operations?the '
merrhant of tho interior also?who will find this magazine
to abound with tho Information the pursuit of his busi
ness and the elevation of the mercantile character re
quires. Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants, but !
extends to the legislator and diplomatist, and to all who
are charged with managing the affairs of the nation. For
myself, I have found It most useful to me In my senato
rial labors, and have been in the habit for many years of
carefully consulting It. I
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant,

Austin's Haglc Prcsisr,
Through in six minutes. For the preparation of
Ice Creams, Water Ioob, Ac.?Patented Sep
tember 19, 1848.
1MIE distlnguislng merits of this Apparatus are?
1st. Tho astonishing rapidity of the process, surpass
ing I "lief?hence the namcv
2d. The Cream during the progress of freesing becomes
charged with atmospheric air, by which It nearlv doubles
In bulk, and obtains that peculiar smoothness, lightness,
and delicacy of flavor, for which the Icc Cream of our
best Confectioners is so highly prlaed.
3d. It docs not require a tenth part of the labor that
the common Freeaer does.
4th. It does its work better, producing a better article,
In everyrespect, than by any other mode.
5th. There Is a considerable taring In lea, as ths tub
needs no replenishing dnringthe operation.
The annexed testimonial from the Proprietor of the
Eiitaw House will pnt to rest all doubt.
" Having witnessed the process of freeslng Inc. Cream '
In Austin's Magic Froeier. two quarts of Cream baring
t>een froien In the incredible short time of six minutes, I
cheerfully recommend it to the public."

Eutaw House, Baltimore, May 16,1848.
"This Is to certify, that during the summer #f 1848. I
used one of Austin's Patent Ice Cream Freeiers of the
largest sise, (10 nitons,) making from 10 to 60 gallons
l>er day during the season; and so far as regards expedi
tion and power, I consider It decidedly the best freeaer
now in use, as I hare had with It no difficulty In miaklng
ten gallons of superior quality Ice Cream from firs of
plain Cream, In thirty minutes from the time I com
menced working It A. n. BROWN,
