CLIPPINGS. Western Indians.—The Greer* Bay Repub lican received last night, has the following war like rumor, which wo ^iveae we find it. A gentleman has arrived here direct from the head waters of the Missouri, bringing intelligence that the Sioux, Black Feet, Sacks and Foxes and the Winnebagoes. are assembling in large num bers, and making every preparation for a war Upon the white settlements on the borders of Iowa and Wiaconsin. The whiles are arming them selves, and are making all the preparations they can to defend their homes and firesides._Mil tMaukie Sentinel, 2d July. Steamers kor the Rio Grande.—The steamers Mary Summers, and DoRasseti, have been purchased at Savannah, by tho V. S. Gov ernment. to proceed to the Rio Grande, the funner at 820,000, the latter at 825,000. Execution or Burnett.—John Burnett was executed on the 14ih, at Schenectady, for the murder last winter, of one Smnheroer, in Selin harie Co. He died a dreadful death, life being extinct in twenty minutes after the holt having been drawn from the drop. Niblo’s Garden Burnt.—That portion of Niblo’s Garden, New York, which is occupied as a seed and flower store by Mr. Grant Thorburn, took fire on Friday morning, and was destroyed with its contents. Mr. Thorburn was with dilii culty rescued from the flames. Steamboat Explosion in Cuba.—YVe have been favored, (says the New York Journal of Commerce.) with following extract of a letter front an American Engineer in Cuba to Mr. Kem ble, of the West Point Foundry : •• YVe have just heard of the entire loss of the steamer Jewel, which was built in N’ew York and brought here this season. The boiler burst, kill ing James Wood, the first Engineer, the Captain, and eight or ten others. You must recollect Mr! Wood. He is a Scotchman.ami formerly worked at the Foundry. The hull then took fire, and burned to the water.” An Important Case.—Mr. Fisk of New Or leans, whose carpet-bag was robbed of $000 while in charge of one of the agents of the Railroad Company, has commenced a suit against th*-m fur the recovery of the amount—holding them responsible for the acts of their agents. Broken Banks in Ohio.—There is a list of forty-nine broken Ohio banks, by which the peo pie lust the enormous sum ot one million, iwo hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars —jV. Y. JYetes. Yes, friend, and we have about thirty hen more which in tunc will swindle the people out of at least twice as much aa this.— Ohio Press. B. G. Simm’s. Esq., a respectable citizen of Hinds county, Mississippi, was shut dead ai Vicksburg, the 2Gth ult., by a man named Saun ders. Churches.—\Ye find in a recent publication, that the number and kinds of churches in the city of New York are as follows : Reformed Dutch, 18 ; Episcopalians, 38; Lu therans, 5 ; Moravians, I ; Presbyterians, 32 ; Reformed Presbyterians, 3 ; Associate Presbyte rians, 3; Associate Reformed Presbyterians, 2; Baptists,29; Congregalioitaliais, 5; Methodists, 40; Roman Catholics, 10; Uuiversalisis, -1; Jewish Synagogues, 9: Unitarians. 2 ; Friends. 4 ; Swedenborgians, 2—making in all 213 church es. Kings county State of New York with a popu lation of 30,000, has /0 churches. (Queens has 60. with a population of 30,000. Suffolk with 35.000, has 80 churches.—JYew York Morning JYetrs. h I he receipts and expenditures of the British Government exhibit a striking uniformity as to the amount of each. Since 1822. the receipts have varied from 50 to ^59 000,000—and the expenditures from 48 to ^55,000.000. Mrs. Porterfield, whose husband attacked Jud son for alleged criminal intimacy with her, and was killed by him in Tennessee, some time since, has been tried, convicted and expelled from the Baptist Church, of which she was a member, for the alleged criminal conduct. I he Bank of England never pays out the same bank note twice. YY hen oi^e is offered for specie or exchange, it is immediately cancelled and de stroyed, ami a new one given in its place. This is done to prevent counterfeits. Five pounds is the smallest note issued by this bank—although some of the Provincial hanks issue as low as £\. In common dealing a bank note is rarely seen. Gold and silver is the currency of the people, and there is certainly an abundance of the vexations and doubts attending the paper system at that. A Family Divided in Opinion.—A voting lady—blooming as a rose bud—lovely as an Houri —of sweet seventeen—hut as unsophisticated as a boarding school education could make her. was last evening at the house of a friend of the family. The conversation turned on the Oregon question, when she very ingeniously remarked : Pa goes in for 54 40, because he says he’s in favor of the whole or none. Ma says she’d take 49. because she’s in favor of peace. ' | would not like to take any one older than Harry Bloomfield, and he’s but Iwtnty-five. iHfi.u&JNKA AINI) CONSUMPTION. It ifl indeed a melancholly truth that thousands fall victims to Consumption every yenr. from no other cause than neglected Colds; yet we find bun dreda, nay thousands, who treat such complaints with the erreatest indifference, and let them run on for weeks and even months, without thinking of the danger. At first you have what you consider a slight cough or rold ; you allow business, pleasure, or carelessness to prevent you from giving it any attention ; it then settles upon your breast—you be co • e hoarse, have pains in the side or chest, ex pectorate large quantities of matter, perhaps mixed with blood ; a difficulty pf breathing ensues, and then you find your own foolish neglect has brought on this complaint. If, then, you value life or health, be warned in tune, and don't,trifle win, your Cold, or trust to any quack nostrum to cure you ; but im mediately procure a bottle or two of that famous remedy.

It is true, that it has been here tofore subject to frequent changes of reputation, owing to ignorance of the proper inode of extract ing its virules, or to the inferior quality of the root, used. Hence also the ineffiracy of many prepara tionF of it offered to the public. The proprietor of this Syrup can assert with confidence, that it is pre pared from the best materials, with the greatest pharmaceutical care nnd accuracy, and in the best mode to obtain the ut live principle in the most concentrated state, answ'cring the desideratum of exhibiting a large quantity of Sarsaparilla in a small dose.
