ALEXANDRIA:
FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 8, 1834.
Southern Literary Messenger—We have
received the first number of a periodical, which,
ever since its prospectus was issued, we have
been anxious to see,- the Southern Literary Mes
senger. commenced and to be published in the
City of Richmond, by its enterprising, indus
trious. and worthy proprietor, Mr. T. W. White,
one of the best practical printers in this coun
try from whose press are always issued neat
and handsome specimens of the typographical
art
We are pleased to see Mr. White’s undertak
ing so favorably spoken of as it is by Irving,
Paulding, Cooper and others. And we hope to
see the pages of the Messenger hereafter honor
ed with their contributions. Pleased as we
should be at this, however, we should be still
rn >re gratified to find many Southern, and es
pecially Virginia gentlemen, whom we could
'mention, generously stepping forward for
the honor of the Old Dominion and its literary
renown.
The first number of the Messeuger gives us a
highly favorable opinion of the fi*ure excel
lence of the work. The original library no
ttces are well done:-amongst the poetry we
s. o two or three pieces from the pen of Mrs. Si
gourney;—and the contents are generally such
s display taste and judgment on the part of the
contributors, as well as the selector.
We luve alteady published the prospectus of
the Southern Literary Messenger. It is to be
published once a fortnight, at S5 per annum.
The design of this periodical is to foster and
encourage the cultivation of Literature in Vir
ginia and throughout the whole South. Our
sentiments on this subject are so well known,
tiiat it is hardly necessary for us to say that we
wivh it every success in the good work. We
hope to see its pages filled with the productions
ol'Souththern scholars and writers, and its pro
prietor rewarded, not only with the conscious
ness of having awakened the dormant energies
of his countrymen, but with the substantial
proofs of their gratitude and regard. The com
mencement of his labors is auspicious. We
trust he may go on prospering. As far as he is
concerned, we know' the Messenger will come
tip to the highest expectations; for he will spare
ao pains nor expense in making it interesting.
The Richmond Whig gallantly “lakes the
bull bv the horns.” We are glad to see the spi
rit and promptitude with which it meets the Te
legraph, a;id the ability with which it exposes
the impropriety of the coarse of that print • he
State Rights party, then, will not commit sui
cide. They are right By and bye they will
reap the trutts of their wisdom. The Whig
thinks the Telegraph is a monomaniac on the
subject of Calbuunism. Exactly. And the Te
legraph mistakes its admiration of the man for
generous ardor in support of his principles. So
far. the Telegraph stands alone.
W« regret exceedingly to have to record the
bidden and melancholy death of the Hon. \\ u
iiam Juhnson, of South Carolina, associate Jus
ticenfihe Supreme Court of the United States.
Judge Johnson had been laboring for a long
t; ne under an affection in his jaw. which had
recently increased to such a degree, as to ren
der it n 'cessary to take away the affected part.
The Judge submitted, and underwent this very
<1 fficnit surgical operation, in the most heroic
manner, without any aid from his surrounding
rrien Is, preferring to rely on his own fortitude
h> >u>taiu him under it. The exertion thus us
!■ it is supposed, excited his nerves to their ut
most power, and when the operation was safe
ly over, a reaction took place, and he died of
• xhaustion, as stated in the N. Y. American
Judge Johnson died in New York, when the
operation spoken of was performed by Dr.#
Mott. Upon the intelligence of his death, ap
propriate honors were paid to his memory by
th.» Courts. Bar, Corporation, &c., of the City
of Ne.w York.
At a Convention ol the Whiffs of the State of

cmtmmer Complaint.— Jfe give the following
■ from the Baltimore Chronicle, for w'hat it is
worth, simply remarking that a disease so mor
, tal should not be trifled with. Il'hen the advice
of a physician can, it should be obtained imme
diately.
Take of Gum Arabic a table spoonful of the
whitest pieces, and add one pint of boiling wa
ter, stirring it occasionally until the whole of the
gum is dissolved. After it is cool, give it to the
child whenever there is any desire for fond or
drink. Should the child refuse to drink of the
dissolved gum in this simple state, add a piece
: of loaf sugar the size of a large nutmeg, and at
! discretion a little brandy, say one or two tea
spoonfuls. Let the child live entirely on this,
for one or two days, and its happy efiects will
be manifested in the course of forty-eight hours.
If the child has had no medicine for some time,
previous to giving the gum water, administer a
moderate dose of Rhubarb. During the warm
season, every thing of a solid nature should be
entirely prohibited! and the nourishment consist
of either boiled milk, rice w’uter, tapioco, arrow
root, or something of a similar nature. Cold
water may be given freely.
When the teeth are nearly through, the gum
should be cut down to the teeth, which will give
immediate relief. Should the looseness of the bow
els be suddenly checked, discontinue the use of
the gum for a day or so, and if necessary give a
slight purge.
Having cured two of my children of this dis
ease. by pursuing tilts course, 1 have the great
est confidence in its entire success, when ad
ministered according to these directions.—
Cleanliness and pure air will contribute largely
towards effecting a cure.
The Convention of Delegates from*the coun
ties of Mnshington, Smyth, Ifythe and Mont
gomery, &c., & c. meets at ff ythe Court-hous*
on the 13th inst., for the purpose of considering
the subject of a public road from some point on
the James River to the Tennessee lir.o. Rote
tourt held her meeting on the July, and
appointed 13 Delegates to attend it.
A new emission of half eagles has been
made from the mint at Philadelphia. The die
is the same as the newly issued twenty-five cent
pieces.
A letter from Halifax of the 23d tilt., says—
“ An English steamboat will Jorve here in a few
days for New York or Boston.
A letter from Marseilles, dated the 23th May,
on board l*. S. schooner Shark, states that in
coming out of Toulon on the 16th, .-he was run
into by the French steam vessel of war Rapid,
and much injured. The schooner immediately
put back, and with the assistance of the Dela
ware’s mechanics’ was soon refitted, and sailed
again on the 19th May. All well on board.
The New’ York morning papers neree that
no new cases of cholera have occurred in that
citv since our last, if those supposed to have been
such were really what report stated them to be.
The Tennessee Convention adopted in Com
mittee of the whole on the 22 nit. a proposition
to deprive of the privileges of citizenship any
person or persons who shall fight a duel, or
bear a challenge, or aid or abet in fighting a
duel.
A public dinner was given to Senator Poin
dexter at Louisville, Ky. on the 29th tilt as a
testimony of respect for his valuable public ser
vices, particularly in the Senate of the United
States at the last session, in stemming the tor
rent of corruption and arbitrary power.
The Louisville, Ky. Advertiser, of the 29th
ult. a Jackson paper, says-—
The Hon. Geo. Poindexter arrived in this
city a few days since, and reports that he pas
sed the President on his journey to the Her
mitage—that the President was very feeble; in
such low’ health, that it was not probable he
would ever return to Washington.”
Mr. Burden’s new steamboat is stated to be a
totui loss, both cylinders being entirely destroy
ed—valued at $25,000.
The epidemic is abating in Montreal—the
weather represented to be cool and agreeable.
Dj. Cooper, who is the chief oracle of the
Nullification party in the Siate of South Caro
lina. in a letter written to a public meeting in
Georgia, on the 4th of July, proposes again the
call of a Convention of the States, *’ to give au
thority where it is wanted, and to decrease au
thority where it has been imprudently conced
ed.” He suggests, also, a permanent provision
for the periodical meeting ol a Convention eve
,-y twenty live years, to revise the operations of
the Constitution.
Bank War.—The Globe is filling its columns
with a “ Ilisterv of the Bank War.” As it is
not usual to write the history of a war till it is
finished, we would lain conclude that the wai
is at an end.
Query.—The Editor of the Nantucket Inquir
er puts the following significant query: “ If it
is death by the law for a petty robbery of the
United States Mail, what should be the penalty
for plundering some eight hundred thousand
dollars from the Post Office Department?”
Fruits or the Experiment.—The ship Hanni
bal of550 tons, arrived at New York from Lon
don July 10, and the whole freight carried by
that’noble vessel, one of the regular packet line,
amounted to but £270; of which £70 were on
ship’s account, £40 on account of steerage pas
sengers, and the residue on account of the mer
chants.
Curious Collocation of Names.—In the insol
vent Debtors’ Court London, a debtor named
Thomas Partridge was opposed by Mr. CooA-,
lor a creditor of the name of Bird. There
were two other creditors of the names of Hawk
and Buzzard, and the name of the bail by whom
the insolvent had been rendered to prison was
Fowler. ■
C5l*fera.— We regret to state that a few cases
of the Cholerahave again occurred amongst us.
On the 28th inst. Carroll Morris, aged about 18
years, died of this disease in the Salines; and on
the 30th a Mr. Jones, who was working in a
brickyard in Charleston. In both these cases
the premonitory symptoms were unattended to
until the patients, were past the influence ot me
dicine. One other case, that of a biack boy, we
are informed, has certainly occurred, but he is
now convalescent.
Since writing the above, we understand that
several additional cases have occurred in the
Salines among the blacks; but our information
does not admit of details.
