Mort Home Testimony in Futur of
DR. SHERMAN'S ALL-HEALING BALSAM.
New Orleans , Feb. 25, 1848.
To Dr. Sherman's Agnit, 15] Chartres street:
Dear Sir—Having derived great benefit from the
use of Dr. Sherman's Balsam, you will permit me
to address a few lines to you. I have been troubled
for a long time with a bad cough, together with
raising blood, to such a degree that I could scarcely
talk without coughing. A friend of mine advised
me to try Dr. Sherman's Balsam, and in less than
two weeks after its use, I find myself perfectly well,
and able to attend to my business. I have recom
mended it to several of my friends, and in all cases
with success.
Yours, dear sir, with respect.

Clerk for T. L. White, 53 Canal st.
Residence,24 Maria street. New Orleans
STILL THEY COME!
Having accidentally become acquainted with the
virtues of Dr. Sherman's All-Healing Balsam, I
have no hesitation in declaring that its use in my
family warrants the assurance that it possesses all
the gifted qualities attributed to it. In one case,
where the medicine was taken on my recommenda
tion. the effect was almost magical, as the Cough
and Expectoration of mucus matter bore a strong
analogy to a decided consumptive tendency. I be
lieve a more general knowledge of this medicine is
only required to place it among the best curatives
extant, for Consumption, Dyspepsia and other dis
eases arising from a disorganized state of the stom
ach and affections of the lungs.
JAMES REESE,
13 Camp st., New Orleans*
31 obilk . December 7th. 1847.
I hereby certify, that for 18 months I had been
lingering under Consumption, and expected every
day to be my last. At length I procured a bottle of
Sherman's Balsam, and it raised me as it were from
the grave. It cured me, and I am now able to at
tend to my daily avocation of a boatman.

Canadian
Vermifuge.
i riiHE best remedy ever yet discovered
j J for a ]| ^itids of WORMS. It not only destroys
..... .
Worms and invigorates the whole system, but it
dissolves and carries off the superabundant slime of
mucus, so prevalent in the stomach and bowels of
children, more especially of those in bad health.
The mucus forms the bed or nest in which Worms
produce their young, and by removing it, it is im
possible for worms to remain in the body. It is
harmless in its effects on the system,and the health
of the patient is always improved by its use, even
when no worms are discovered ; the medicine being
palatable, no child will refuse to take it, not even
the most delicate.

General Taylor's Qualifications.
The official despatches and other pub
lications bearing tbe signature of Gen.
Taylor were written in a style of such
elegance and strength, and exhibited so
much calm dignity and firmness, that
the people became satisfied that be was
intellectually qualified to discharge the
duties of the first office in the country,
however ignorant he might be of political
tactics, intrigue, and party management.
But to dissipate the favorable impression
which his despatches and letters had
made, it was charged that they were not
his own productions, but were written by
Col. Bliss and others; and even ungrama
tically written letters were forged and pub
lished to satisfy the public of his incapa
city. But these failed of the effect inten
ded, and he has been triumphantly cho
sen President.
Since the result of the election has
been made known we have had an op
portunity of inspecting a private letter
from Gen. Taylor to a gentleman of
Baltimore, written whilst commander-in
chief in Florida in 1839, which bears all
the characteristics of style and thought
to be found in his official and other pa
pers, and would satisfy any one that he
does not require the assisiance of Col.
Bliss or any other person in the composi
tion of official documents. He evident
ly thinks and writes for himself; aud his
messages, as President, we venture to
predict, will confirm the favorable impres
sion of his talents and capacity for husi
ness which has been made by his writ
ings which have already been submitted
to the public.— Baltimore Clipper.
Iowa United States Senators.^— The
Union publishes a telegraphic despatch,
dated St. Louis, December 15, that the
Hon. A. G. Dodge and George W. Jones
have been elected to the Senate of the
United States from Iowa.
{JCf^No bill says the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, estab
lishing territorial governments over Cali
fornia and New Mexico can pass at this
session, either with or without the provi
so. TMie President will veto any bill with
the proviso, and the House will reject any
bill without it.
(t/^The defeat of Senator Hannegan,
of Indiana, as a candidate for re-election
to the United States Senate, is much re
gretted by his political friends in Wash
ington ; and the more so, for the reason
that his successful competitor, Mr. WhiU
comb, beat him by taking the ultra free
soil ground.
A TALE OF HORROR.
Tbe Cincinnati Commercial tells a hor
rible story. It says that a gang of hoi se
thieves in Indiana, recently went to the
house of an old German who had $500
in bis poss< ssion, tied him and his wife
and three children hand and foot, to the
floor, by raising One of tile plallks and
c-\
I rastening the rope to the sleeper then
robbed the house, and taking a feather
bed and a straw bed threw them over the
confined group, set them on fire, fas
tened the door, and decamped.
In,a few moments the robbers were out
of sight, and the fire of the lighted beds
was growing hotter nnd hotter! What
was so be done? All tried the strength
of tbe cords that bound them, time and
time again? The fire grew hotter and
the exertions greater. At length the
wife und mi tlier broke loose from the
sleeper; she was yet tied hand and foot.
A thought struck her !—she rolled, for she
could not walk—to the fire place, thrust
her hands into the burning embers, and
held them there till the fire burnt off the
cords that bound her hands—unloosed
her feet and saved her husband and chil
dren.
The fire had not injured the latter bad
ly, and the husband flew for assistance ;
but as this unfortunate family lived some
distance from neighbors, it was some time
before help arrived. One of the fiends
participating in the attempted destruction
of this innocent family, was, by all ac
counts, let loose here by means of the
habeas corpus act.
B urnino of the P ark T heatre .—The
well known Park theatre has again been
consumed by fire, the origin of which is
yet unknown. While the actors were re
hearsing on Saturday, about noon, they
discovered a very disagreeable smell,
something like the effervescence of the
oil of vitriol, or the fumes of escaping
gas. This smelt so unpleasant that they
stopped reheasing somewhat sooner than
they would otherwise have done. Not
supposing, however, that anything very
serious would result from it," they went
home. Immediately before the time of
opening, the building was found to be on
fire, and so rapid was the progress of the
flames, that it was soon a heap of ruins.
Mr. Hamblin'8 loss is estimated at
$25,000, upon which he iiad a partial in
surance. Nearly the entire wardrobe of
the establishment was destroyed, toge
ther with a great portion of the large and
valuable wardrobe and other fixtures,
owned by the Monplaisirs. They have
lost heavily. The Park theatre, it will be
recollected, was burned down a few years
ago.
Earl's hotel, adjoining the theatre, was
also consumed, causing a heavy loss. The
hotel also of Mr. Clark, in the vicinity,
besides several other buildings, were con
siderably injured. The entire loss by this
fire is estimated at $60,000.— Baltimore

The China difficulty.—Naval. —The
celestial governor of Canton, as has been
seen by our extract from foreign papers,
lias put a slight upon our Commissioner
there, Mr. Davis, which he threatens to
punish if unatoned for.
The Preble sloop, Com. Guyn, with
Com. Getsinger as passenger, arrived at
Macao on the 23d of Sept., from the
Sandwich Islands, and the Plymouth was
at Wampoa on the 28th the latest, dates.
A letter from on board the Preble, da
ted Sept. 26th, says ; " To-day we sail
for Canton, in consequence, it is said, of
our minister having some trouble with the
government."

The Americans have given up Spez

F rom W ashington .—The Washington
correspondent of the Charleston Courier
thinks that the President will not find
much encouragement in Congress for his
recommendation to extend the Missouri
compromise over the new territories. It
is much more probable that tbe Wilmot
Proviso will pass the House. Both
Houses, he thinks, will assent to Mr.
Douglass's measure for introducing Cal
ifornia immediately as a State. Congress,
however, is not disposed to net at all on
the matter this session, and therefore it is
not unlikely that it will be left for the
next session.
