Bald War, “I pray thee my playthings see :

At my beck or nod they rush 1o death ;
Rush—ay, with frantic cries of joy—
To the eannon’s mouth. But, then, above
I strew bits of laurel : by way ot Jocoy."
Said Peace ‘I pray thee my playthings see :
See harvests ripening under the sun ;
List to the shnttle's whirr. With me
The ‘oouu'- happy battle is won.
Cheered by me, they toil ti'l death,
While maids and matrons their linen weave !
The earth is not damp’d with their parting breath,
And I smooth their pillow as they take leave.”
Bald War, “[ pray thee my triomphs see :
See now how nobly my chosen fall ;

When the enem)'s blood bespatters them all,
The warrior's head is npturned to the stars ;

But a halo of glory flits round his sears,
And the blood of his foes on his sword shall rust,”

JOHN FITCH.
Genius is too often treated with cold con
tempt, and left to pine in the midst of penury
and want. At best, it has commonly been
left to struggle againsta powerful current, and,
in defiance of a host of obsiacles, when suc
cessful, to force its invaluable gilts on an un
grateful world. In the struggle with the mis
erly spirit of many, which regards with sus
picion all projects not certain to increase its
store of gold=—embarrassed in its movements
by the incredulity of ignorance, and the hos
tility of arrogance and sell-sufficiency—it is
strange that genius has done so much in the
way of improvement, for the beuefitof the civ
ilized world. Nothiog but a spirit soaring
far above the common level of humanity, and
an indomitable perseverance which no obsta
cle can arrest short of absolute impossibility,
could have achieved the mighty iriumphs of
mechauic art, which the world has witnessed.
To men who have accomplished these won
ders, their species owe a tremendous debt of
gratitude. Reason-—justice=—common hu
manity=—would lead to the supposition, that
those who had conferred such benefits on man
kind, and those who had rendered essential
aid to them, had been amply rewarded for
their efforts. Alas !—as a too general rule—
the opposite had proved true. The common
fate of genius has been anything but enviable.
A few who have erected fabries on the founda
tions laid, and the plins drawn out, by others,
have succeeded in building up fame and for
tune for themselves; while, in innumerable
instances the first inventors and originators
of improvements, have struggled, neglected
or persecuted, through the vale of poverty,
and been left to perish and be forgotten. A
singular illustration of this melancholy truth,
is to be found in the person of Arkwright, who
obtained the pateot for spinning cotton by the
aid of rollers, as now practised, though the
invention is well kuown o be that of another
man. Aod what was the result 7 Arkwright
had, or obtained the pecuniary means, became,
an extensive manuficturer, was inducted into
the order of British knightbood, and acquired
a world wide fame, as the inventor of the spin.
ning frame! But John Wyat, the real in
ventor, (rom his poverty and disinclination of
others to countenance and aid him, was de
prived of the fruits of his genius, and perished,
comparatively uukoown. The history of the
mechanic arts abouud in such incilents. Of
all the meo of mechanical genius, whose names
are connected with the arts in modern times,
there has [robably beea no one more hardly
dealt with than John Fitch.
Mr. Fitch was born, as he says, in January,
1743, on the line between the two towns of
Hartford and Windsor, in the (then) colony,
(now) State of Conuecticut. T'he incidents
of his life were somewhat more than usually
varied, and largely intermingled with adverse
circumstances. in early life, he learned the
trade of a clock und watch maker, und, during
the revolutionary war, employed a portion of
his time in repairing arms for the continental
troops ; but it is to the subsequent events of
bie life we wish to refer; and particularly to
those connected with the business of steam
navigation. In this respect, there are some
things connected with his history, unknown
to that of any modern projector.
It would appear that wheo he first directed
his attention to the project of applying steam
to the purpose of locomotion, he must have
been indcbied for the thought entirely to the
force and perception of his own genius, and
without the aid of the works, the writings, or
the suggestions of others; for he declares that,
when he first cooceived the idea of driving
carriages on roads by the force of steam, he
was ignorant of the existence of such a thing
as a steam engine in the world. This can be
readily conceived of—that is, his ignorance of
the steam engine, for at that period, Apnil,
1785, little of steamn power was known in this
couniry, except to a few scientific men, who
obtained their knowledge from rare works
published in Europe, a few scattering volumes
of which might have been fouud in the hibra.
ries of universities, or of learned men. To a
person of his condition in life, and in his sphere
of action, these were of course inaccessible ;
and in the promptings of his genius, we behold
the lofty aspirations of a bold, independent
and fertile mind, that promptly marks out a
course for itself, and casts about for means to
facilitate its progress. This project proved
unfortunate for him. lts complexity embars
rased his miad—and his constant mental labor
to solve the proplem, ended in temporary in
tellectual derangement. From this, however,
be recovered; and we find him, three years
ufter the above date, that is, in 1788, the pro
prieter of a ‘patent,’ for the application of
steam to navigation, in the States of New
z:tk. Peonsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
~
Some idea may be formed of the strength of
this man's genius, from the astonishing fact,
that, notwithstanding the circumstances above
stated, his steamboat hud so far advanced to
wards its completion, that a full description of
it was published in a Philadelphia paper in
December, 1786. This boat was completed
in a short time afterwards (1788) and placed
oo the Delaware. Oa the first trial, ghe per
formed a mile io seven and a half minutes, or
at the rate of eight miles in an hour; and was
subsequently propelled eighty miles in a day
(probably twelve hours.) This success, ac
complished in a period so short, was truly re
markable,and has seldom if ever been equalled.
All weresatisfied. Butthen, asis too frequent.
ly the case in such matters, the members of
|£o company interfered with the views of Fitch,
substituted their own plans for improvement
for his, all of which failed, sbandoned the en
terprise, and left it and him to languish and
die. If poor Fitch had found & Chancellor
Livingston to foster his genius, and sustain his
eflorts, his fate might have been different from
what it was. But he lived a few years 100 ear

stamp. He vexi turoed his face towards Eu.

ed u life which had become burthensome to
bim. Thus perished a man, of whom Ew. ‘
barke says truly:—'A more ivgenious, perse
vering and unfortunate man never lived'—a
victim to the parsimony, prejudice and timidi
ty of those by whom he was surrvuuded.
Up 10 the present moment, there are those
who dispute the question, whether 1o Fitch or
to Fulton is to be awarded the merit of huiofi
invented steam navigation. As to the origina
iovention, it belonged to neither of them ; it
being an indisputable fact that others had an
ticipated them. To go no farther back, two
small steamboats had been fitted up in Scot
land a short timd previous to the experiment
of Fitch. The Scotch experiments succeed
ed. The boats had paddle wheels, and were
diiven about siz miles an hour. Of all pre
vious experiments, however, Fiteh must have
beeo ignorant, when he projected his boat;
~and bence, with him, o 1 1o him, the thing was
entirely original——a ereation ot his own inven
tive genins, With Robert Falton it was dif
terent. Hislong res.dencewn Earope, and the
position he occupied there, gave him ready
caccess to all the information on the subject
the world possessed. Besides, before his re
(turn to the United States, where his first suc:
cessful attempt at a steamboat was made, he
had examined all the papers and plans con
nected with the enterprise of Fiteh; and more
than that, had examined one of the steam
boats in Scotland übove referred 10, and been
conveyed in it a considerable distance, at the
rate of six milesan hour. Whatevei improve
ments therefore Mr. Fulton may have made,
he could not have claimed the merit of origi
nating steam navigation. Oan this score, Fiteh
must carry off the palng for he planned, con
structed, and put into successi | operation, a
steamboat originated by hinelf; and without
any other aid than that of Lis own powerful
genius. Mr. Falton had the subject in hand
Mor nearly twenty yeass; and at the expiration
Cof that period, with all his mechanical ability,
‘aequired information, and the aid of a rich
“and zealous patron, and after two signal fail
ures, was only able to bring out a boat that
could be driven but five miles au hour, though
furnished with an English engine, as improv
ced by Wyatt. Aud no boat of his, it is be
lieved, ever attained the average speed of
‘more than about nine miles per hour. On
(the other hand. in less than hree years from
(the day when Fiteh first thought of the pro-
Jectof a steam carriage, with every difficulty
i which poverty and obscurity could engender,
~multiplied and strengthened by the ignoranca
Lol some, the prejudices of others, and the in
! credulity of all, and with 4 rude and imperfect
l eogine of American manufacture, and vertical
gpuddlcs or oars instead of paddie wheels, he
“had a steamboat running on the Delaware at
‘the rate of eight miles an hour. What im
provements he might have inade in speed, and
in other matters, can ouly be conjectured, as
he was then stopped short in his career, which
lie never resumed for the want of means.
‘Poor Fiteh," as he has been aptly and pa
thetically called, went down to the grave, *un
houored and unwept,” because a sheptical gen
eration refused to sustain and aid him 1o car
rying out a noble undertakiog for the benefit
ot the human race. Subsequent events have
shown the vastimportanee of that undertaking,
by having fully verificd lus predictions. T'hose
predictions were, that, before a century should
have passed away, steam vessels would swarm
on our Westera waters; and he expressed the
conviction that steam would be found appli
cable to the navigation of the ocean. Said
he, ‘T'he day will come, when some more
powerful man will get fame and riches by my
_invention, but nobody will believe that poor
' Joho Fiteh can do any thivg worthy of atten
[tion." How fully bave subsequent events fix
~edthe stamp of reality on what were then sup
posed to be the ravings of a visionary enthu
siast! Who that contemplates the fame and
fortune of Robert Fulton, and rivers, and lakes,
and seas, and bays, and ogeans, ploughed by
the keels of innumerable vessels, from the ti
ny yacht to the ponderons man-of-war, but
acknowledges the foresight and sagacity of
‘poor John Fitch," and who does not regret
that that remarkable man did not live to share
in the glories, the honors, the fame, and the
foitune, resulting from the triumph of steam
navigation? But alag !—though he display
ed indomitable energy, untiring perseverance,
and a force of genius seldom exceeded, he
could not conquer impossibilities. He could
not unlock the coffers of parsimony, overcome
the distrust of avarice, nor soften the obstina
cy of ignorance. They presented obstacles
he conld not surmount, and—he failed. Ug
der similar disconrageuwms. would even Ful
ton have succeeded? 'l'hank heaven, he was
not subjected to such un ordeal. Science
and wealth associated in the persons of Ful
ton and Livingston, went hand in hand, with
mutual confidence wnd devotion. Though
the world might scoff and sncer at their at
tempts, they cared not for the opinion or feel
ing of that world, for they were not dependent
on it for means, and were certain of ultin ate
success.” Unappalled, they moved steadily
forward, completed their noble enterprise, and
thus practically mocked the folly of those who
had derided them.
That Fulton made many and great improve
ments, is true. That he carried out the pro
ject of steam navigation to a successful prac
tical issue, is also true. And it isalso certain
‘that, to his great geoius, and his unwearying
~energy and perseverance, aided by the power
ful cooperation of Chancellor Livingston, the
world owes a dept of gratitude not soon to be
cancelled, for the invaluable benefits conferred
by steam navigation. Without him, after the
failure of Fitch, it is impossible to say how
long the world might have remained destitute
of those benefits; for such men are ‘few, and
far between." Robert Fulton was oue of the
great benefactors of the age, and a man, of
whom, his country may well be proud: and
whose memory she should ever cherish with
respect and gratitude. But it would be un
just to rob Fitch of the laurels which justly
belong to him, to adorn the brow of another,
who like Robert Fualton, shines resplendent
with the lustre of his own merits, aud whose
undying fame requires no borrowed light to
reflect it to posterity, The works of Fulton
demand uoqualified praise, and it is pleasant
to contemplate hissuccessful career. Equal-
Iy praiseworthy were the efforis of Fitch; and
bis hard fate demands our sympathy. Pos
terity can do full justice to both, without de
tracting from the merits avd honors of either.
They both acted as pioneers in a great work,
in America, and as such, the names of Jonx
Fircu, and Roserr Furros, should be em
blazoned side by side, T Js

. This state has a sort of beterogeneous pop
' ulation—a sort of pepper and salt mixtare of
all the different races of mankind. The smo

wegian, the beer-drinking Dutchman, the sell
complacent John Bull, the cannl'z Scot, the
cheating Israelite, the mercurial Frenchman,
the rollicking Irishman, aud the ever preseunt,

eye from Ohio, the Hoosier from Indiana, and
the illiterate, drinking, fighting, generous Sou
' therner—all are here in equal proportions, and
1 give about their equal quota to the characrer
'of the State, and supply a choice variety of
| their peculiar expressions to ite language,—
[ The Hoosier, ‘allows,’ the Southever *suspi
' cions,’ the Buckeye ‘reckons,’ while the Yan
kee ‘calculates,’ and the Missourian ‘opinions.’
The Siate has yet no settled character—itg
different elements not having had time to har
, Mouvize and settle together. So its laws, its
| Manners, its languages. A Southern farm
house for instance, is a mere cabin coustruct- ‘
. ed without regaMd 10 looks, convenience, or
tecomtort. Thefarniture. cooking utensils, and
dress of the inmates correspond with the
house; while the fences and out-houses are
of the most wretched condition, and the door
yard and the fields are given up to weeds, and
crops wasted with the most reckless disregard
to thrifi. Cows will be allowed to run all the '
season with their calves 1o save milking—or |
if milked, only whea they happen to come up
of themselves, or when the boy happens to
find them, which is rare. Fawilies with good
farms will have no batter, but they will have
eggs and chickens without stint. 1t is not |
uncommon to see two hundred hens about a
man's door, and four pounds dressed is notun
common weight. So common are they, that
you can purchase them for a *bit" a pair.—
These people live onbacon, chickens and corn
‘dodgers,” und | donbt whether a Southerner
has any sensibility in his palate, or cares what
he is eating, so he gets envugh. You would
think so, if you saw the dishes and the cook- |
ing. As an offset to thiy, you are as*welcome |
as the pigs,” 10 anything he has got.
The Yankee here is the sume as the Yao- |
kee anywhere—only more so. More liberal,
less saving, less religious, less honest, less
careful of appearances=hut quite as enter
prising, and bound to get a living at his, own |
or somebody’s expense,
The Irishman is improved here—more in
telligent, thnfty and steady, and in every re
spect more of a man and a better citizen than
he is clsewhere where | have seen him.
The Enghshman getsa good property here.
He fares well—deinks his grog when he lkes,
and always keeps alone, or with hisown coun

gun, and enjoys field sports whien he pleages.
A great many wre scattered over the country,
but do not readily assimmilate with the peo
ple, and continue to prefer brandy 1o corn
whiskey—in winch, I think they show good
taste,
The Scotchman here is always a good citi
zen, and a man of property—steady, thrify,
and law-abiding. The German and the Jew
do the fiddliog and huckstering, the gardening,
wood sawing, cooking, and a large part of the
drinking. The only men | have seen deunk
here, were Germans, and yer they were good
citizens. ‘l'he Swedes and Norwegians are
steady, hard-working fellows, and give nobady
any trouble. The Hoosier is a sort of cross
between the Southerner and the bear, with all
its qualities—mental, moral und physical, just
about equally divided between the two races—
with a touch of the wandering Arab. eis
a wandering animal, and his home and house
are wherever his wagon happens to be—near
some timber or fence or firewood—and where
there is water enough for coffee—whiskey he
takes raw—and washing is to him and his a
work of supererogation.
The young sucker, the rising generation of
all these heterogeneous materials, is the devil,

and finally, to use his own expression, *don't

One characteristie of the animal is that he is
always aunticipating some body 10 ‘feel big,'
which he considers Lis duty to resent before
it happens.,
The way the young Suckervolunteer fought
in Mexico, may give you some ides of his
characteristics. Oue of the officers related to
me a little scene which occurred at Bueng
Vista. 1t was in the very crisis of the fight,
when the Todiana troops broke and retreated,
and left the whole brunt of the Mexican ad
vance to be borne by the Illinois regiment.—
It seemed as though they would be annilila
ted by superiority of numbers, and there were
some signs of wavering, when a young Suck
er drew his aifle deliberately and dropped a
Mexican, *Set up the pins ! he shouted, and
the whole regiment took up the word, and at
every fire would shout—'Set up the pins !"
The officer said they fought like demons, and
with as much drollery and funas if on a spree.
At another time, when a charge was ordered,
one of the officers could not think of the word,
and he shouted—:Let ‘er rip!"—when the
whole line burst out with the vell='Let ‘er
rip!'=—and dashed 1 amongst the Mexicans
laughing and shouting this new battle-cry.—
Of course there are many honorable excep
tions, but the characteristics of the Sucker
are maioly as [ have represented. The rea
sons are obvious. The State itsell is yet but
little over *twenty one years of age," and was
scttled all in a heap. Poverty piled in the
settlers very unceicmoniously, and they hadl

ficulties=-sickness,privation and bereavements.
and even dangers. So the youth were con
ceived, nursed and brought'np in a mixtore
of all sorts of exigencies, which make them
what they are,
Many curious and most laughable scenes
are daily occurring in the courts of justice
[ wili relate one which occurred 1 Kane
County, in the circuit court a fow years ago,
when Gov. Ford was the presiding judge,
which will serve as a specimen.
Ao old miner and land contractor of con
siderable wealth was summoned as one of the
grand jury; he came to the ecourt gloriously
drunk, and rather (ate—in fact. not until the
court was organized and was engaged in try
ing a case. He came staggering in, dressed
in buckskin, und making his way to the bar,
addressed the court and people with—'low
are ye all, d=n ye ' at the top of his voice.
The Judge put on a decorous frown and
said—=Mr. Clerk, enter a five of five dollars
agiinst Mr. cem.'
Wl Judge, l'guosn you think this old hoss
hain't got the money, but your'e mistaken, old
feller,’
Judge.—*Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of ten dol
lars.’
*Wal, old fuller, 1 can fork up,’ and he laid
down the gold to pay for the fine.
Judge.—~*Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of twenty
dollars.’
*Wal, Judge. here's the pewter, but if only
we (wo are going to play the game, put up
your money if you do rake down the pile.
Judge.~*Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of filty dol
lars.’
‘Hold on, Judge, that's too big an ante,—
This old hoss's got the lead, but | won't play,
il yon don't put down the stakes—l draw the
bets.
By this time the Judge was savage, while
the whole crowd were vastly amused.
Judge.~*Mr. Sheriff, commit this man to
Jail for contempt of court.’
‘Hold on, Judge, your'e too fast or | he—
and T guess it's me. 1 bid off the jail yard,
Jail and all, for the taxes, and | guess | own
that are public institution, and you won't im
prison a man in his own house, | reckon.’
This was said with an air of drooken gravity
that made it irresistibly ludicrous. ‘l'he sher
ifdragged him off, however, and the next day
when he was sober, he made a proper apology,
and was forgiven. Equully ludicrous scenes
have occurred among this free and easy peo
ple, enough to fill a volume, but the class of
men who were the actors, are rapidly disap
pearing, and io a!l the towns of ten or twelve
years’ growith, there sre now good lawyers,

' INVIGORATING CORDIAL,
For Genital Debility, hapotency, Incontinence, or Nucturnal
Emissions, §e. §e.
! THE astonishing success which hes atiended this inval
able medicine, for the above complaints as well ns
those that follow, viz: Loss of Muscular Energy, Physical
| Lassitude, and General Prostration, or any u”lln conse-
L quences of youthful indiseretion, or hndul;ouco of the pas
. sion in riper years, render it the most valuable medicine
, ever discovered, In fact as a remedy for the above com
plaints it stands unrivalled and alone. There is no other
reliable, or any that has authentically received the sane
tion of the wiedical fuculty . It has been said by some that
' these lisorders (Emissions, &e¢) were incurable, This
biowever is not the fuct,
i DR, MORSE'S INVIGORATING CORDIAL,
has, nud is constantly curing these complaints—relieving
“the mental and bodily ineapacity of the unfortunate suffer
er, as the following testimony of the names received will
conclusively show,
D Wmn{wurd,of the Massnchusetts Insane Hospiial,
writes of one of his patients being cured by lllillfl this cor
dial, thus ; *lt gives us pleasure to inform you that one of
my patients, while in Boston, procured some of your Cor.
dint, He tells me he has not had a single emission since
he commenced taking it, while _efore he had two or three
a week. When heapplied to me,” says Dr. W., *lthought
it hardly possible for him ever to regain his full strength,
I prescribed the usual medicine used in those cases in the
hospital, but they had no effect. In the meantime, he
imrchnnd some of your Cordial, which has effected a cure,
om satisfied no other medicine would. [ shall ever re
commend it, whenever an opportunity occurs,”
The Medical Journals have not, in a single instance
that has been authenticated, given their sanction to any
other preparations for the above complaints. It has in
many viclent and desperate cases, effected radical cures,
alter patients had been abandoned and their condit on
pronounced hopeless by medical practitioners of high pro
fexsionnl character,
CAUTION—Ask for Dr. Morse’s Cordial and take no
other, us there are worth'vss imitations which its unrival
led excellent, fume and popularity, have bronghtinto mar
ket. I will not hurt the most Jourme Fermule, but do
good. Beware of all other cordials, &c, (and try this.)

good effects I have experienced from the nse of the Great
American Balsum, of which [ understand run are the pro~
prietor. About one year ago I was severely afflicted with
the Piles, so that I was not able tostep or move ; the swel
lings protruded to the size of hen’s eggs, and I was in such
pain and distress that my friends thuulrhl I should be
crazv, and [ was in fact in such pain an distress, that [
hardly knew what I was about. Y.nl avial of your Great
American Balsam and used it according to directions, and
intwo days I was entire‘lrv cured, and I have bheen per
fectly well even to this date. I have used no medicine
since the first two days I used your Balsam. [ cannot
therefore nezlect to recommend this Balsam to be used ix
all eases and by all persons who are in any way troubled
with the Piles, as I am fully persunded that it will effect a
cure, however severe the case may be,

l)OCT()R Van Hambert, Physician to the German Fe
male Infirmary, having used the above Pills in his
private practice, forthe la t lwont{-flve years, and in the
Female Infirmary under his eare, for the last fifteen, with
such unparalleled success that he feels in duty bound to
let the world, a 1d especially the female partofit, have the
benefit of his research and experience.
The number of Females admitted annually from differ
ont parts of the kingdom into the infirmary, areabout three
thousand, all laboring under obstruction, snppression,
green sickness, or some irregulerity, as ma, he seen by the
annual reports of the Institution, “They have likelise been
extensively used throughout the United States for the last
thirteen years with the same astonishing eflect,
In every instance have the pills proved successful. The
pills invariably open those übstructions to which females
are liable, and bring nature into its proper channel, where
by health is restored, and the pale and deathly counte
nance, changed to a healthy one.
