For nineteen yearn, the M?s?eti ger has endeavored to reflect faithfully the south ern mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional views, and has been alone among the monthly periodicals of America, in defence of the peculiar institutions in the southern States.

At this critical juncture, while Our enemies are employing literature as their most in tent weapon of attack, the southern people will surely not withhold their encouragement from a work whose aim it shall be to strike blows in their defence. The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its readers with reviews, historical and biographical sketches, novels, tales, travels, essays, poems, critiques, aud papers on the army,navy, and other national subjects.

It is known by the name of Rand Se Hayes's Elevated Tubular Ovifn Ranee. The oven being elevated always ensures a good draught, and bakes at the bottom without trouble. All the boilers being set immediately over the fire ensures the boiling. The arrangement for roasting and boiling is also very complete. In addition to the cooking arrangements, it is made to answer the purposes of a hot air furnace, affording sufficient heat to warm a room 18 or 20 feet square in cold est weather. Several of these ranges have been put up here, and can be seen in operation if de sired. Allthe above ranges are warranted. W. H. HARROVER, Opposite Patriotic Bank.

A HEW1N1SCENCK OF TIIK MEJCICA* WAR* After the battle of Ccrro Gordo, the army was encamped uear Jalapa, und I wus ?t tached by the general government to the nisi j Pennsylvania volunteers, and had some ac i. quaintances among the officers ot that regi , ment, 1 went into the town to hunt up a suit able mess, aa 1 found nearly all the officers had comfortably quartered themselves in that d.' lightful place. After proceeding down a very hilly street, on turning by the cathedral, I catne plump upon a lieutenant of a Philadelphia company, a short, fat, good-natured fellow, full of mirth, who, on finding out my object, insist ed on introducing me to his mess, consisting ot only his own company officers, and then board ing with an ancient Mexican landlady, one Dona Villaverde; and more comfortable quar tern, I am bound to say, a soldier never lound. Every evening we had parties of the senoritas, visitiig ostensibly the three fine daughters of our hostess, but really to enjoy a little flirtation with the " Barbares del Norte, or northern barbarians, as the Mexican journals politely termed us. I enjoyed the character of the cap tain of the company very much,.for ^.per tained the most exaggerated opinions ot Mexi can perfidy and cruelty, and was the only one of the party who took 110 part 111 the amuse ments of the evening,being in truth rather sic and very peevish. He had read in some works of the horrors and atrocities of the Spanish guerillos in the Peninsula war, and, said be, ? we have already had samples ot it here, by the Mexican guerillos; our men atrociously mutilated, prisoners butchered 111 cold blood, no usage ot civilized warfare respected, but, he added, " what could be expected from such a race? Spanish cruelty, joined to Indian cralt and cowardice; and then to see you, poor moths, fluttering around the blaze that will at last consume you. For my part, I should as soon think of enjoying mysell 011 my death bed- and I never retire to my couch without feeling a shuddering sensation, for the assas sin's dagger may be my doom before morning. Thus fearfully eloquent did he become on the horrors to be endured, and though brave as a Roman in battle, he became completely ter rified at the thought of midnight assassins. One uightone of our mess was taken with a violent colic, and the surgeon prescribed a mus tard plaster, which our hostess applied to the sick man's stomach with her own hands; lor the good old woman, 1 am pursuaded, enter tained a sincere frieudsliip for the whole party. The mustard plaster worked wonders ; the sick man recovered, and the old Dona became a proselyte to the mustard cure, and believed in mustard as she did in her patron saint, with the most undoubting faith; as her daughters and female servants had ample proofs of, for in every complaint, 011 went the mustard plaster, until at last the poor things were afraid to com plain of any sickness?for no matter where the Jain wo*, in the head, tooth, ear or toot, a plas ter on the abdomen was the universal remedy. j I met our chamber-maid one morning nearly | doubled up, waddling slowly along, \N hy. Inez," says 1, " what is the matter? She ap plied her hand to the part affected, made a lu dicrous grimace, and sighed outmustazn. bhort ly after this, as I was taking my siesta in our chamber, for we had but one for the whole par ty I heard my fat friend conversing with our hostess in particularly execrable Spanish, in the next apartment, and from the frequency of the word mustaza, was induced to listen to the conversation. , , I found it to be a regular plot, of which the captain was to be the victim; for our waggish friend waS strongly working on our hostess s mustard propepuities; " for,' said he, see nore, Dona, the captain is sick, very sick, and, poor fellow! unless something is done for liini he will never recover. He will not take medicine, an 1 we can't pretend to force him to take it. Alas! his life is vanish:ng like a dream. Now, my dear Dona, a mustard plaster of large di mensions, placed on his stomach, would be sure to cure him. But he cannot be persuaded to have the remedy applied. But if you would prepare the plaster and put it on while he was asleep, he would not know it until the next morning, for he sleeps very soundly-h^life would be saved, and you would be entitled to his eternal gratitude." After considerable per suasion she was induced to promise, and 1 re tired to my bed that night anticipating conside rable fun in the morning, when the captain would find a blister, where, in the evening, there was none. . , At the witching hour of uight our hostess en tered, accompanied by a servant who bore a candle. The Dona herself had a mustard plaster of such formidable dimensions that it would have covered the stomach ot a giant. She found her victim lying on his back soundly sleeping and snoring most melodiously. ?utn short time sufficed to prepare the part to re ceive the application, and 111 a trice the uu> tain's stomach was enveloped 111 the heuitn giving plaster. Scarcely had the sensitive part received the plaster, when, with a stunning ? roar, the captain sat upright 111 the bed, and 1 1 had just time to sec his face convulsed and Ins eyes glaring with horror, when the old lady and | her servant, scared nearly out of their wits, rushed from the room, dropping the candk their exit, and leaving us in total darkness, but not by any means in total silence. The captain at the full pitch of his powerful lungs, vociferated, " murder! help. " What is the matter, said our tat friend, 111 a voice so singularly altered, that 1 knewhe , was nearly choked with suppressed laughter. u Matter," exclaimed the captain, ' matter 1 pnoutrh by G?d; here I'm sitting murdered? a hole through me big enough to dnve an am bulance in. Matter, my G?d! hot heaven sake help! I'm bleeding to death. ? Do you feel any pain, captain ! shouted Why not much, but my stomach is covered with blood. I have ray hands full of it. I knew it. I felt it. 1 was sure I should be as sassinated in this accursed place! For God s sake get a light, bring needles, bandages, run | for a surgeon. Will nobody bring a light?my stomach seems as if on fire. 1 By this time, amid confusion worse con founded, a light was obtained and showed the captain sitting on his cot. his arms extended and his hands covered with mustard, making the most ridiculous figure imaginable. u Why, good heavens ! captain, said one ot the spectators, looking at his hands, '' that is not the color of blood.' "Why, no!" said the captain, gazing on them with astonishment, '"it does not look like blood, but if it isn't blood, what is it?" "Ahem!" said our fat friend, "are you quite sure vou havn't been sick? "Pshaw," interrupted the captain hastily, "you are always joking; but, gentlemen, ha you not better see after my wounds first and discuss the matter afterwards. An examination was commenced, which. urinated in a laugh, when-* was that no wound was inflicted, WASHINGTON SENTINEL TERMS OF ADVERTISING.

A Cute Yankee. The following good one is published in the September number of Haqier's Magazine. It is told by a correspondent who signs himself "Timmins." " Among our passengers coming home, said he, was Mr. H , not long ago a deputy collector in our port, at the custom-house : a most entertaining gentleman, who has no idea that he is telling anything amusing, until he is reminded of it by tne loud laughter of every body about him. "When I was deputy collector in New York, says he, I was sitting in mv office one hot after noon, when a long, slab-sided, Yankee-looking fellow came in with a kind of guilty look, his hat dangling in his hand,, his head hanging on one side, and his eyes cast down, but with a curious kind of a smile, too, as I thought sneak ing fitfully across his face. He stood by the door for a minute, twirling his hat, aud seeming to be afraid to come forward to where 1 was sitting. "'Well, sir,' 1 asked, 'what is wanted?' " 'Be you Mr. H ?' said he. "'Yes, Mr. H is my name.' "'Yaes: but be you the deputy collector ol Xew York State.' " J answered that I was the deputy collector of the customs of the city of Xew \ ork. "'Kdzactly,' says he?-yaes; the very man I want to see.' u He hesitated again, and twirled his hat more rapidly than ever. "1 What is your business with ine? State it,' said I, rather sharply. ' My time is too valu able to be wasted in useless talk or delay.' Yeas,' said ho, ' dzactly so. Well, you see, I've got into a little trouble, and I come to seo if vou could'nt help me out r little.' " He lingered his hat again, and I grew im patient and nervous. " ' Go on,' snid I, 1 and get through. What is your trouble, and how can I help you, or what have I got to do with it ?' "'Well,' he went on, 'I was down to Ha- . vana the other day, and bein<r fond of smokin' I bought a few cigars for my own use; and when we got back to York I didn't know that there would bf> any hurt in bringing in n few; but as a man was brmgin' on 'eni up Broad street, they arrested?for "dewtios," the man said? "dewttup and he 9aid they must all be forfeit ed or ''confiscated," and that I couldn't have none of 'em, he said, unless I could git 'em en tered. He told me I couldn't get none 'em en tered until you had given permission, and that he rather thought you wouldn't do it?-dewtv or no dewtv ' "I was struck with his simplicity?his green* nestt, I thought at the time?and was disposed to overlook what might have been an attempt at smuggling, in consideration of the fact that, after all, it was probably pure ignorance. " So I said : ' As you seem to have been ig norant of the revenue law, 1 will enter your cigars, and you can have them upon payment of duty. How many had you ?' " ' Twenty thousand on Vm !' "'Twenty thousand cigars for your own use! This alters the caso entirely.' " 'Well, not 'dzactly for my men use, but wanted some for my friends to smoke, tew. That's all.' " ' Well, sir, on payment of duty, the cigars may be taken away.' , ?' ' Dewty! not arter they're "enfetrd," there aint no dncty is there ? That's what the man said that took them off the cart.' " I explained to him that the cigars must pay a duty, and that it was a great favor to him self to be permitted to take them away at all. " 'Well, said he, putting on his hat, and holding the door ajar, 41 ha'nt got no money to pay dewties ; but I'll go up town to ?1? street to see a friend of mine, and may be hell tako Vm out. Good a'rternoon!' " The next day, just as I was about leaving my desk, the Yankee 'operator'came in, bring ing with him a dark, Spanish-looking person. "'I've come to got. them cigars,' said he, ' that was arrested for dewties. My friend hero will pay the dewties.' " The necessary preliminaries were gone through with, and the cigars were taken away. " Early on the morning of the.next day, as I was sitting at my desk, 1 felt a faint tap On my shoulder, and on looking tip, who should I sou hot mv Yankee customer standing over me. How de du to-day f said he. "Tin quite well, thank you; but what do you want of ine now? "'Nothing,' said he?'nothin'?got done I' "And he gave a wink and a leer that none but justAiWi a Yankee as himself could give. "'We done that thing up handsome, did'nt we?' said he. "' What thing? I asked. "'Why, them cigars,' said ho.- ' They was'nt Ctdxi cigars; them cigars was made in Connec ticut! 1 got a factory there myself, and I had 'em "took up" ou suspicion, ftut folks, he ad ded, 'will like 'em just as well as the choicest Havannas. Fact is there's good deal of decep tion practiced about cigars!" "I showed the impudent,designing,unscrup ulous fellow, the door, and he went out winking and laughing. ' lVe did that thing up hand some!' as if 7 myself had been a party to tho nefarious transaction."' Tt'RKtSH Patriotism?All accounts agree in stating that the Turk is thoroughly aroused. The phrase is, thai it is "Moslem fanaticism'' which is so excited. We shall not certainly dispute that the Moslems may lie fanatics. Tho conquering faith that once swept over a region from China to Gibraltar?from indefinite boun duries in Europe, even up in Africa, to tho sources of the Nile, still exists. Hut Mahotne danism has, like other religions, felt something of the humanizing influence of progress; It is no longer quite the iron master it was when victory so uniformly perched on its bauner; for nothing could be more repugnant to civili zation than Mahomet's rigid creed. Hut botli the Tnrk and his creed are no longer what they once were. Nor is the Tnrk in the same state of political dependence, backed by t ranee and England, as he was in It*.!.*, when a Russian fleet and Russian army were invoked for his protection. Rut the 1^40 treaty gave him a national position. It stipulated to preserve his territory inviolate. Rwsia, seizing on the Danubian principalities, has grossly broken this treaty?a breach of faith which Turkey cannot endure. Hence it would be exactly just to say thnt it is Turkish patrintirm that if aroused. This feeling runs through all tho races. It demands nothing but what the just judgment of the world will say is right?in spect for its nationality.?Boston iVfc
