W-> Appeal ta your men Citti^n* f THOUSANDS SPEAK ITS PRAISE 1 This article, which has mude so many wonderful^ cures wherever tried, was discovered by Dr. JESSE HAMPTON, now in fine health, in the 79th year of his age. He was born in Virginia in the year 1775. and '.'migrated to Kentucky, then a wilderness, with his father in 1779. In early manhood he was so re duc??i by disease as to be almost wrecked in consti tution. lie spent much of hi? living tor medical ad vi^* and attention; and grew nothing better, but worse. Finding no relief from bis physician, he re solved te try the restorative powers of the root?, barks, leaven, plants, Ac., of the forest, lie then dwelt in the midst of the lied Men of the Western Wilds. Having heard much ol their skill in the use Of the vegetable remedies ol the forest, and k: ow im; their mode of medicinal practice mutt be one ot practical experience, and not of theoretical specula tion, he made hiiiueif acquainted with their reme dies, and also with the practical medicinal knowl edcj the early settlers of Kentucky hid obtained from the "medi.ine men" cf tlin Indians He care tul!\ studied tne nature of the medicines used by them, combined them accordiug to the light he re reived, used them as he had been taught, and had the clieering satisfaction of findiDg disease driven from his emaciated body, and vigorous health given in its ste..xd. lJ is ca*e was of no ordinary kind, but astonishing to his friends and neighbors. The fame of it spread ; tbe people far and near sent to the Dcctor for his successful and wonderful cotnbina t on of Indian Hemedies, wldch was freely given to them, until the cafes became so numerous, and the demand so gruit, that th# Doctor wrs advised by friends and induced through justice to himself to put up bis Vegetable Tincture in bt-ttles, and charge a price for it. which was ireely given ?finding its way into the frrat and most intelligent lamilie=, and astonishing all by its wonderful cure#, commanding certificates and testimony in its favor from the lead ing and seme of the most talented men of our country. ITS MODE OF PR EPA HA TION is not by boiling or steaming?no heat is used.? Hence the medicinal vir ues of the root*, 4c., of which it is composed, are not evaporated, but aie preserved in their primitive state. I 'NPA HALL EL ED SUCCESS! The many cures made by it. and the great demand have induced the proprietors to offer it to the atili t ?d in this city, with the honest conviction that the ?mr happy results will follow its use huru as in nil merous other places. Capt. Canot, biother of lhe celebrated physician to the EMPEROR OF FRANCE, ivas cured by it of Chronic Inllauimatory Itheuma :ism of seven years duration, aft-r the sftill of I'hv <icians of Paris, London, and of this country had ailed ltev.

'helby, Mt rotors of Congress, with meinbtxi ot' the :tate Department, Washington, and hunrire ts.of itliers, who give thtir testimony to this I i<i iffui liscovery. PHYSICIANS lava cured themselves and the member* i4 ifceir '.unities by its use, after their own re alalia bad ailed; and some of thein a*eso generous a- t> r? onimend it to their patients.

Editors:?As the subject of ?ridges now occupies much of the at ten-1 0 ion of Congress, and of this community, J v n<l as my profession of a civil engineer, I (l nd my present occupation have rendered' I a ic somewhat acquainted with the hub-) ;ct, I offer you the following suggestions, I rhicli you are at liberty lo use as you j nay think fit. I The properties of wrought iron, which | hietly contribute to its strength and tility, are its elasticity and tenacity, ly the first is meant that property, by irtue of which it returns to its former igure. state, and relative arrangement I its parts ; after it has been exposed to ension, or the act of straining. Bv the atter is meant that property, by virtue f wliicli the particles 01 metal resist eparatiou ; or, in other words, it is the ousequence of direct cohesion between he particles of metal. It requires a uuch smaller strain t3 overcome the tinier property than that which is neces ary to destroy th? latter. For instance: J , weight of H to 11 tons suspended 10 1 he end of a bar of wrought iron, of a 1 quare inch section, will overcome its I v lasticity : while 24 to 26? tons similarly I * ;uspended, are necessarj* to overcome its I cnacity, or to produce disruption of the I v tar. llence we se? that the elasti<nty of * he wrought iron may be destroyed. Ion,; >efore disruption would ensue, and long 1 K'fore the ordinary observer would dis-1' ?over that any change had taken place ' n the bar, or in any structure of wrought I 0 ron. (See Barlow on the Strength of 1 dateiial .) | But, if the dastictty of the iron is once r >vercome, every additional stiain will ? .ause the iron to become weaker: and it I : nay finally part, with a much less strain, I " hau it had previously resisted, with im- I aunity, before its elasticity had been im- '? jairtd. From this, it would appear, that ? n order to sccure safety in structures ol : :liis material, they should not be ex [>oscd to any strain, which was sufficient 1 to overcome the former pro pert}*, the ' elasticity, of the metal. But experience tias shown that neither the elasticity; nor c the tenacity of wrought iron, will remain ^ the same, if the metal is exposed to tin 1 ?tiects of percussion, heat and magnetism. Jc For instance, if you break a wrought iron furnace bar, after it has been ex- j t>osed to the alternate heating and cooling | if a furnace for some time, it will be ' bund to be converted into brittle crystal zed iron, although it may have been a L .ough, fibrous iron when first put imo v the furnace. * Again, by rapidly heating and cooling. a by quenching with water a few times, 1 tny piece of wrought iron, the same eifect I ^ will be produced. 1 In these experiments at least two of 1 0 the above mentioned causes are in ope- 11 ration, viz: heut and magnetism! lor, I1' sve have the authority ot Sir Humphrey I ^ Davy for stating, that all cases of vapori- * nation produce negative electricity in the s bodies in contact with the vapor. We now come to the third cause, which is, practically, cf far greater importance ?' in its effects than the other two, they be- J Ing more various and extensive. In the I manufacture of some descriptions of ham- J 0 tnered iron, the bar is first rolled into I ^ 3hape, and then one-half the Umgth of tl t c bar is heated in a furnace, and immedi- j Aieiy taken to the tilt hammer, and ham- \ ruered, and the other end of the bai' is i then heated and hammeipl in the same manner. Aud in order t# avoid any ma lerial ditiereuce, in form or color, where I \ the two distinct operations have teruii-1 c uated, the workmen frequently give the t bar a few blows with the liammer on that c point which he first operated upon, whie' t part by that time, may have become con. 1 paratively cold, in which case the etfeet i of the additional hammering is to render i TJULU VfiEKLT STAR.

But as soon as the bar becomes cool enough to be etfoct *1 by magnetism, the efT.ct of the blows is to produce magnetic inductions, which Msisied Ky further vibrations from addi Li >:ial j ercussion, produces a crvstalized U-xture: the irou looses its tenacity an 1 elasticity, and at once becomes very brittle. Instances are on rccord where piston rods, having a jar in their motion, and railroad car axles, and even oommoti carnage axles, have kcome brittle, aid have broken from like causes. So. with iron bridges, on the Eric Kail road; the *ruught iron gun, the peace-maker, on the Princeton, in 1M4: and in cases of ^pension iron bridges, both in England Mrd in this countiy. The late "Wheeling bridge accident, and the Kyder bridge aise, are probaoly attributable to the one rod the same cause, combined with others irising fu?m imperfections in the ma Luial when first used in the constrm Lion. From these facts and inferences, we have come to the conclusion that great ;are, both in the manufacture of the iron and in the mode of construction of wrought iron bridges, is essentially ne cessary to safety in such constructions. An experiment was made in England with a smZll bar of good tough iron, it being susj>enut.J and struck con jiuously with small hammers ;u keep up a continuous vibration. ^ iflect was that the bar, after the ex >erimtut had been continued for son c onsiderable time, became so extremely Kittle that.it finally fell to pieces under lie light blows of the haud-hmmuerv, >resentiug throughout its structure a lighly cr)*stalized appearance. That rith proj>cr care in the manufacture ci he iron, and in the combination cf nought iron with cast iron in the sau e onstruction, using the former for ties nd the latter tor struts and voussoirs in n arched bridge, good iron bridges have ?Jen made and can be made again, is not euied. But, in the absence of the ne essary skid, both in the manufacture oi ho proper iron, and in the scientific ar uigcmeut of the parts of the different inds of iron, so as to give to each the iilce best suited to its properties, it oiild seem most prudent to build either f stone altogether, or with stone piers nd wooden superstructure. A Cmt Envjikeesl i'liN'ToxisM.?In 1840, Colonel Benton lid: " Clin?,t and lus ApoMies appeared in provmocot the Koman Empire, when lat Empire was called the Roman world id the world was filled with slaves.? orty millions was the estimated number. 2iu^ one-tuurth of tlie whole population. ingle individuals hnd twenty thousand ayes. A freed man, one who lad him -lt been h slave, died the possessor of 'Ur thousand?such were the numbers, ho right of the owners over this inulti ido of human beings was that of life nd death, without protection from law, r mitigation from public sentiment. " Christ saw all this?the number of ie slaves, their helpless condition, aud leir white color, which was the 6anu iui his own, yet he ^aid nothing agaiiitot avery ; lie preached no doctrine which <1 to insurrection and massacre; none hieh in its application to the state of lings in our country, would authorize an iforior race of blacks to exterminate bat superior race of whites in whose anks he himself appeared upon earth.? Ie preached no such doctrines, but those f a contrary tenor, which inculcated ie duty of fidelity and obedience on the a: t of the slave?humanity and kind ess on the part of the master. His d?'-sties did the tame. St. Paul sent ack a runaway slave, Omesimus, to his wner. with a letter of apology and sup iication. He was not the man to har >o? a run; May, much less to entice him ro:a h;s master. ?nd least of all to excite u insurrection." In 1850, Col. Benton expressed the itmost detestation of compromises. He eo'ared: "I believe in the compromises of the oistilution, and swore allegiance to them, nd keep the oath. I do not lalieve in he compromises made by i>oliticians? andidates for the Presidency. I have Den too much of such work. Iu^ 1850, he vehemently opposed Mr. lay's compromise bill, and expressed imsc-If thus: "It (the 1*5U compromise) was con ived upon the avowed ground that it as to make its champions Presidents, nd is now stuck to upon that principle: nd if it tails to do the job, it will take ie tiack of two defunct predecessors, ud soon be with them 4 ix the tomh of nh Capi lets.' This is my experience 1 Congress compromises, and nobody eed set up these little clay-gods for me ) worship, especially when those who it them up do it for a purpose, and nock them down when thev don't an tver it."
