ALEXANDRIA:
SATURDAY MORMNG, JULY 26, 1834.
THE TREASURY.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce, after stating that
the appropriations made by Congress, at the
late session, amount to twenty two millions of
dollars, and consequently exceed the Treasury
estimates by three millions and a half, makes
the annexed statement of the condition of thfc
Treasury at the end of the year.
The charge upon the Treasury for the pre
sent year,-will be as follows, viz:
Appropriations at late session,
Public Debt, principal,
Interest on, _ .
Former Appropriations unsatisfied
at the close of last year.
$22,000,000
4,760,082
285.000
5,064,576
From the last item deduct as an
pertained excess of appropriations,
32,909,653
774,393
32,125,270
The Receipts of the Treasury for the year
[^J4 may be stated as follows, viz:
receipts from all sour
' probable Excess of Receipts over
Estimates, l,o00,000
Estimated balance of available
unds in the Treasury, on the 1st
lanuary, 1934, ‘’96o’7JQ
Total, . S27,983,790
Deficiency on the 1st of Jan. 1835, 4,201,460
He adds:— . . ,«
It is true that a portion of the appropriations
nuy always be expected to remain unexpended
,t the end of the year, and that the average or
uch unexpended balances, for the last foul
ears, has been about five millions.
The Treasury will, therefore, be able to meet
hi- demands made upon it, within the year, but
t ill be in debt, at the end of the year, to the u
nount of the deficiency above stated.
The writer, after some further remarks, con
cludes with the following assertion:
l- You may be assured, therefore, that the first
:are of Congress, at the next session, will be
o add some five or six millions to the revenue,
)v restoring the duties on Teas and other ai ti
des now free of duty.’’
The Spring*.—The Lewisburg Alleghonian,
of the ISth instant, says: “ Since our last re
port, the company has increased rapidly at all
the Springs in the neighborhood. The number
at the White Sulphur exceeds tiro hundred and
fifty. The Salt Sulphur has also a large and
increasing company.”
A friend, under date 20th, writes us that there
are “but few persons at the Warm Springs,
but the White, Salt and Red Sulphur are full.
The White Sulphur, notwithstanding the in
creased accommodations, has now more than
three hundred, and many are daily turned off.”

i icon Revolution, with a preliminary view of the
Character and Principles of the Colonists, and
their Controversies with Great Britain. The
author of it is S. F. Wilson, Esq., editor of the
Baltimore American.
Dr. Augustus L. Warner, of Baltimore, has
been appointed, by the Board of Visitors of the
University of Virginia, Professor of Anatomy,
Physiology and Surgery, in that institution. It
deserves mention, as an honorable testimonial
on behalf of I)r. Warner, that, though wholly
unsolicited on his part, the appointment was
made in pursuance of a unanimous vote of the
Board.
The Hon. Mahlon Dickerson, Secretary of
trie Navy, together with Commodores Rogers,
Chagncey and Morris, Commissioners of the
Navy, are on a tour of ins,lection, and are ex -

town. They will have an opportunity to exa
mine “ Old Ironsides” as she is; and if they
consider it an object to repair her figure head,
their decision will soon be known.

THE BURIAL OF THE BRAVE.
Slowly tread your mournful way;—
Soldiers! ’tis a warrior’s doom,
Draws your ranks in dark array,
Forth to speak a nation’s gloom.
Lowly trail your standards down,
Lowlier still your arms decline;
He hath won a proud renown—
Th’ last of Freedom’s conscript line.
Bend in awe and greet his name,
Freemen! ’tis your champion’s due—
Who, for freedom more than fame,
Round your flag in battle drew.
Bear abroad your funeral signs,
Incense to his name consume:
Pure his star of glory shines,
Bright’ning ’mid surrounding gloom.
Lead along your mourning bands—
Warriors! ’tis a hero’s fall,
Hail’d so late with welcome hands,
Now awaits your funeral pall.
Bow your heads and bend your plumes;
He was of your martial throng:
Droop for him whose name illumes
Ages, as they roll along.
March, united, round his urn—
Sons of Fredom! ’tis for you
Grateful homage to return
Him who brav’d your battles through.
Spread afar the solemn gloom,
Muffled drum and tolling bell,
Bearing onward to his tomb,
Columbia’s blessing and farewell.
Youth! with garlands wreath his brow:
Beauty! here thy tributes bring,
Freedom furls her standard now
’Neath her eagle’s clouding wing.
Virtue!.low your guardian lies—
Valor! mark your vot’ry’s tomb:
Where’s the son of Gallia's skies
Now, to stand and shield her doom?
Freedom! weep thy soldier’s fall—
France! thy son and chieflain mourn:
Well he heard Columbia’s call,
Well did glory’s laorels earn!
Fame! behold thy child depart,
Form’d by Time’s perfecting hand,
With a patriot’s boundless heart.
Burning for his own proud land.
Mournful close your funeral train—
’Tis a grief sublime ye share!
Solemn roll the requiem strain,
With a mourning empire’s prayer.
This, the soil ye proudly tread.
He redeem'd from bonds and gloom:—
Take, oh Earth! the mighty dead
Time hath garner’d to the tomb.

Mr. Snowden:— I entirely agree with you that
all exciting and generating^cnuses of disease,
so far as they may have origin in my rc jl col
lection of matter in cur streets, lam : »! :i\
leys, should receive the immediate a:
attention of the public authorities, v
of preventing their accumulate:. ; • < *• *ct
their removal. And, sir, ir. turn. ». i not sup
pose you will agree wan i.'.-' th . me entire ex
pense should be paid by tii«- ;;nniic. This is not
the case: but, on the contrary, a considerable
part of it is done at the expense of an indivi
dual. This no one, who is competent to judge,
will or can deny.
But, Mr. Snowden, if the public interest and
public health demand all this of one class of
public authorities in the honest and faithful dis
charge of their duties, which are heavy and
costly to execute, is there not another class of
public authorities who are bound, by every prin
ciple of common justice, to see that the individu
al who does the work be justly paid, according
to the laws of the Corporation of Alexandria
in such cases made and provided. M.
Noble Sentiments.—Lord Erskine was distin -
guished through life, for independence of prin
ciple, for his integrity, and for his scrupulous
adherence to truth. He once explained the rule
of his conduct, which ought to be generally
known and adopted. It ought to be deeply en
graven on every heart. He said—“It was the
first command and counsel of my youth, al
ways to do what my conscience told me to be
a duty, and to leave the consequences to God.
I shall carry with me the memory, and I trust
the practice of this paternal lesson to the grave.
I have hitherto tollowed it, and have no reason
to complain that my obedience to it has been
even a temporal sacrifice. I have found it on
the contrary, the road to prosperity and wealth,
and I shall point it out as such to my children.’
Darknee and Light.—I could not help feeling
that of all the beautiful contrasts in nature, there
can be no one more vivid than the sudden
change between darkness and light. How wea
ry we should be of eternal sunshine—how
gloomy would it be to grope through one’s life
in utter darkness; and yet what loveliness does
each of these, by contrast, impart to the other!
On the heights above the village, how magnifi
cent was the darkness after a hot sunshine day!
And then again how lovely was the twinkling
even of tallow candles, when they suddenly
burst upon this darkness! Yet it is with these
two ingredients that nature works up all her
pictures; and, as Paganini’s tunes all come out
of two strings of catgut and two of the entrails of
a kitten, so do all varieties that please our eyes
proceed from a mixture in different proportions
of light and shade; and indeed, in the moral
world, it is the chiaro’scuro, the brightness and
darkness of which alone forms the happiness of
our existence.

DU. HOUSTON, successor of the late Dr.
John Thaybold, Fellow of the Royal Col

C. and the public in general, and is ready to be
consulted GRATIS in all cases of disease inci
dent to the human frame, but more especially in
that virulent and almost yet unconquerable dis
ease the CANCER, as unquestionable authority
can prove the cure of the most awful case which
ever afflicted one of the human family. To
those alflicted with this direful scourge, with
hundreds of others, he particularly refers to the
cure of James Bond, a slave, formerly the pro
perty of Miss Sally Griffith, of this city, whose
desperate situation, though for a series of years
laboring under this affliction, yielded to his
skill, though it had baffled the science of most
of the faculty. Hopeless of relief, in a reduced
situation, abandoned by his friends, and seek
ing alms of the public, whose eye must revolt at
a sight which would shock the finer feelings of
mankind; at this time, fortunately for this ob
ject of pity, Dr. H. felt confident that he was his
Creator’s instrument to effect his cure, and is
now a living witness of the truth of this asser
tion, by proper medicine, properly applied.

agreeable neighborhood, remote from any wa
ter course. The property has undergone a tho
rough repair; nearly all the buildings are new,
and sufficient room to accommodate about 75
persons. The water is highly medicinal, hav
ing stood the test for 25 or 30 years. Many re
spec-table certificates could be procured, were it
necessary, to prove the value of this water. In
dyspepsia, diarrhea, affections of the liver, cu
tancons affections, suppressed perspiration, de
bility, and many other diseases to which the hu
man system is subject, this water, upon a fair
trial, I hope, will not be less efficacious than any
sulphur water whatever. The accommodations
shall be equal to any other watering place; the
most trusty servants provided, and our table
shall be furnished with the best our markets af
ford. I trust that a few weeks can be agreea
bly and profitab y spent at this Spring. There
is a Shower Bath of sulphur water, and a Warm
Bath for invalids. This Spring is but one day's
travel from Baltimore and the District; the stage
passes it three times a week, from Harper’s Fer
ry, by way of Charlestown. It is, also, but one
day’s travel from Bath and Capon. Boarding
only $6 per week, or $1 per day for a less time;
children and servants half price. Dinner 50cts
breakfast and supper 37 1-2 cents. The Sha
nondale Water will be kept constantly.^^g
