janlG HENRY SULLIVAN, Geôlier. \n\n The accompanying report of the Secretary of
the Navy presents full and satisfactory accounts
of the i ondition and operations of the naval
service during the past year. Our citizens en
gaged irt the legitimate pursuits of commerce,
have enjoyed its benefits. Wherever our na
tional vessels have gone, they have been re
ceived with respect Uu; officers have been treat
ed with kindness and courtesy, and they have
on all occasions pursued a course of strict neu
trality in accordance *ith the policy of our
Government.
The navaijforee at present, in commission is
As large as m admissible with the number of
tnen authorized by Congress to be employed.
I invite your attention to the recommendation
of the Secretary of the Navy, on the subject of
a reorganization of the navy in its yarious
grades of officers, and the establishing of a re
tired list for active and effective service. Should
Congress adopt some such measure as is recom
mended, it will gaewtly increase the efficiency
of the Navy and rednce its expenditures.
I also ask your attention to the views expres
sed by him in reference to the employment of
war steamers, and in regard to contracts for the
transportation of the United States mails and
the operation of the system upon the prosperi
ty of the Navy.
By an act of Congress, passed August 14,
1848, provision was made for extending post
office and mail accommodations to California
and Oregon. Exertions have been made to
execute that law, but the limited provisions of
the act, the inadequacy of the means it authori
zes, the in-adaptation of our post-office laws to
the situation of that country, and the means
of compensation for service allowed by those
laws compared with the prices of labor and
rents in Californie, render these exertions, in a
great degree, inefficient. More particular and
efficient provision by law is required on this
subject. v
The act of 1845, reducing postage, has now,
by its operation during four years, produced re
sults fully showing that the income from such
reduced postage is sufficient to sustain the
whole expense of the service of the Postoffice
Department, not including the cost of trans
portation in mail steamers on,the lines from
New York to Chagres and from Panama to
Astoria, which has not been considered by Con
gress as properly belonging to the mail ser
vice.
It is submitted to the wisdom of Congress
Whether a further reduction of postage should
not now be made, particularly on the letter cor
respondence. This should be relieved from the
unjust burthen of transportation and delivery
of the frankmatter of Congress, for which pub
lic service provision should be made from the
Treasury. I confidently believe that a change
may safely be made, reducing all single letters
to the uniform rate of five cents, regardless of
distance, without imposing any greater tax on
the Treasury than would constitute a very mo
derate compensation for this public service, and
I therefore respectfully recommend such a re
duction. Should Congress prefer to abolish
the franking privilege, it seems probable that
no demand on the Treasury would result from
the proposed reduction of postage. Whether
any further diminution should now be made or
the result of the reduction of five cents, which
I have recommended should be first tested, is
submitted to your decision.
Since the commencement of the last session
of Congress, a postal treaty with Great Britain
has been received and ratified, and such regula
tions have been for the good of the postoffice
Departments of the two countries, in pursuance
ofthat treaty, as to carry its provisions into full
operation. The attempt to extend this same
arrangement through England to France has
not been equally successful, but the purpose has
not been abandoned.
For a particular statement of the condition
of the Postoffice Department and other matters
connected with that branch of the public service^
I refer you to the report of the Postmaster
General.
By the act of the 3d of March, 1849, a board
was constituted to make arrangements for tak
ing the seventh census, composed of the Sec
retary of State, the Attorney General, and the
Postmaster General, and it was made the duty
of this board "to prepare and causc to be print
ted such forms and schedules for connecting
statistical tables under proper heads, such in
formation as to mines, agriculture, commerce,
manufactures, education, and other topics as
would exhibit a full view of the pursuits, in
dustry, education, and resources of the coun
try." The duties enjoined upon the census
board, thus established, having been performed,
it now rests with Congress to enact a law for
carrying into effect the provision of the consti
stitution, which requires an actual enumeration
of the people of th« United States within three
ensuing years.
Among the duties'assigned by the Constitu
tion to tne General Government is one of local
and limited application, but not on that account
the less obligatory. I allude to the trust com
mitted to Congress as the exclusive Legis
lature and sole guardian of the interests of the
District of Columbia, I beg to reemmend their
interests to your kind attention. As the nation
al metropolis, the city of Washington must be
an object of general interest, and, founded as it
was under the auspices of him whose immortal
name it beers, its claims to the fostering care
of Congress present themselves with additional
strength. Whatever can contribute to its pros
perity must enlist the feelings of its Constitu
tional guardians and command their favorable
consideration.
Our government i« one of limited powers,
and its successful administration eminently de
pends on the confinement of each of its co-or
dinate branches within its own appropriate
sphere. The first section of the Constitution
ordains that "all legislative power therein grant
ed shall be vested in a Congress of the United
States, which shall consist of a Senate and
House of Representatives." The Executive
ba» authority to recommend, not to dictate, wea
.v H^ng performed that
duty, the Executive Department of the Gov
ernment cannot rightfully control the decision
Of Congress on any subject of legislation until
that decision shall have been officially submit,
ted to the President for approval. The cheek
provided by the Constitution, in the clause com
prising the qualified veto, will never be exercis
ed bv me except in the cases contemplated by
the Father of the Republic. I view it as an ex
treme measure, to be resorted to only in extra
ordinary ease»—«« when it may become necessa
ry to defend the Executive against the encroach
ments of the legislative power or to prevent
hasty and inconsiderate or unconstitutional le
gislation. By cautiously confining this remedy
within the sphere prescribed to it in the contem
utions of the framers of the

der these circumstances only that the elector can
feel, in the choice of the law-maker, he is him
self truly a component part of the sovereign
power of the nation. With equal care we should
study to defend the rights of the Executive and
Judicial departments. Our Government can
only be preserved in its purity by the suppres
sion and entire extermination of every claim or
tendency of one co-ordinate branch to encroach
ment on another.
The strict osbervance of this rule and the
other injunctions of th^Coustitution, with a se
dulous inculcation ofthat respect and love for
the union of the States which our fathers cher
jshod and enjoined upon their children, and with
the aid of that over-ruling Providence which has
■ i * . »» ï i _ i?i t.- i
so long and so kindly guarded our liberties and
institutions, we may reasonably expect-to trans
mit them with their innumerable blessings to
the remotest posterity.
But attachment to the union of the States
should be habitually fostered in every Ameri
can heart. For more than half a century, du
ring which kingdoms and empires have fallen,
this Union lias stood unshaken. The patriots
who formed it have long since descended to the
grave; yet it still remains the proudest monu
ment of their memory, and the object of alfec- 1
tion and admiration with every one worthy to |
bear the American name. In my judgment, its ,
dissolution would be the greatest ot calami
ties, and to avert that should be the study of
every American. Upon its preservation must j
depend our own hdppiness and that of count- j
less generations to eome. Whatever dangers j
may threaten it, I shall stand by it and main
tain it in its integrity to the full extent of the I
obligations imposed and the power conferred j
upon me by the Constitution. VT ~ R i

PLAQVEMIHE:
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1850.
The Rise .—The rise of the river and the ap
prehended overflow being the all absorbing to
pic at present, nothing ean be said amiss upon
this subjeot. The river is still swelling, slowly
of course at its present height, but with * stea
diness and progress that forebodes no cheering
prospects to those immediately interested, and
upon whom, if it breaks through the embank
ments, destruction falls heaviest—we refer to
the planters. Perhaps Plaquemine is better
protected from an overflow than any point on
the coast, not by reason of any extraordinary
exertions that our citizens have made to pre
vent it, that we are aware, but in consequence
of the bayou and drift at the upper part of our
town—the first preventing an overflew from
above, and the last protecting the levee at a
point the most critical and dangerous to our
village. But we would here remark to out cit
izens, or that portion most deeply interested,
the property holders on Front street, that al
though the raft protects them from inundation,
the rise is causing the bank to be cut away,
and when the river falls, there is good reason
to believe that one or more points will cave in
and destroy property of considerable value.-—
If, like last season, this apprehended destruc
tion should not occur, (or even if it shou]d) we
take the liberty of advising our citizens to adopt
such precautionary measures as will prevent
such apprehensions in future. Nothing would
conduce to this end better than a row of piles
thirty feet in length, driven down at low water
mark, and extending from the mouth of the
bayou to the extreme length of the town.—
Such protection, while it. could not cost a very
large amount, considering the benefits derived,
would not only prevent the bank from caving
in hereafter, but it would cause a bature to form
in front, and therefore ultimately be a work of
vast pecuniary advantage to the corporation, or
those owning property front ; indeed, if such
a work was undertaken by a company of stock
holders for the protection of the town, with the
privilege of owning all land that might be
made by such means, we have no doubt it
would be a profitable investment All our cit
zens of old standing know that the Mississip
pi is every year encroaching upon our town;
if, then, a work can be devised wkich will not
only prevent this encroachment, but drive back
the Father of Waters and cause streets to be
formed where now rolls his muddy flood (upon
the same principle as it is done in New Orleans)
how imperative is it that our attention should
be directed to it?
High Testimony .—Mr. White, in his Lec
ture last Wednesday, took occasion to say
that the hotel at which he was then stopping,
(Planters' Hotel, kept by Burden & Johnston)
"was decidedly the best he had stopped at in
the Southern country." Such testimony, from
so distinguished a source, is highly flattering to
the enterprising proprietors, and particularly
so to the first named gentleman, who immedi
ately presides over the internal arrangements
of the hotel—and if we may be permitted to
add—the industrious and indefatigable hostess,
whose system and care give to the interior ma
nagement s neatness and regularity which ean
alone spring from woman's inimitable genius
with regard to everythingappertaining to house
hold and kitchen mar agennnt— where are, in
truth» her kingdom, and her throne.
I nstruction hi Müsic . —We take pleasure
in again calling the attention of young men
and parents to the card of Mr. A ujsok ; he ig
here sojourning for a limited period amongst
us, for the purpose of giving instruction» on
several delightful instruments, This is a rare
opportunity for acquiring an accomplishment
so f asc i na t ing and desirable in either sex, and
»as an opportunity may not offer again soon, we
trust that Mr. A. will receive tangible proofs of
the musical taste and Hberality of the commu
nity.

Philip §. White.
Tbis distinguished Son of Temperance, not
less in intellectual vigor and beauty than in
the high grade he has attained in the Order he
so ably represents, arrived here on last Tues
day, and the day following delivered two ad
dresses to the citizens of this community, the
effect of which will have lasting beneficial in
fluences upon the moral progress and wealth of
Ploquemine: indeed, his eloquence, combined
with truths so beautifully illustrated, touching
the heart and the senses, came over our village
like the morning breeze from some exotic isle^

and which we would fain inhabit !—awakening
delightful sensations, and aspirations of a pure
and ennobling character. He varies his dis
course with graphically told anecdotes, and by
descriptions of scenes and circumstances that
exalt the feelings to the highest apex of su
blimity or carries them away by the power of
pathetic inspiration—and, then, like a meteor he
dashes into metaphors of grand and imposing
language, like the mountain cataract or the
c j ee tric flash, that thrills the senses, and s&imp

To pruce the annals of our tiaiive iautlr
\ ïigiit of love, to all who fain
Would breiig i'na terror of destruction's reign,
And calm the fears within the mother's breast,
And bid the anguished wife to be at rest,
And feed die famished little ones, who long
Have only known the curse that follows wrong;
The blighting curse and infamy that clings
Unto those harmless, unprotected things,
Who draw their breath from him, who, day by day,
In dissipation flings his life away;
Who drowns within the accurst and maddening bowl,
The man, that once resided in his soul,
And leaves him 'reft of feeling, hope and pride,
A bloated thing, to infamy allied,
O! great and glorious White, how much we owe
To thee, who in this world of crime and woe
Hast staid the march of that great monarch, vice,
Whose cravings all the world would not suffice;
But seemed to grow—increase—as victims cane,
And offered up their every hope offame,
And lifeand happiness, to quench a thirst.
Which would be greater far, at last, than first.
Thou sawest this evil growing in our clime.
And saw its million victims steeped in crime;
'Ihou hoard'sta cry of anguish wildly rise
From widowed hearts, ami saw the weeping eyes
And haggard cheeks, lhat once were bright and fair,
Now sunk into the depths of wan despair;
Thou beard'st the mother's and the infant's prayer
Tq the Eternal one, to shield and spare,
All that they loved from sham*» and crime aud death,
Thou saw and beard'st—and with thy living breath,
Before high Heaven didst then and there declare
A war, with that stem monarch of despair.
That should not end until the victory was won,
Or till in death's dark shade had set thy sun.
Thine oalh, by angel messengers of love,
Who borne to Him who rules snpreine above;
And midst the songs of love and harmony,
In Heaven's bright page was registered on high.
Years have passed by, yet still, along our clime,
Thy mighty voice swells up in tones sublime,
Warning the youth to shun the fatal bowl,
That drown in lasting shame the living soul;
Calling the father back from terror's reign,
To be the light and life ofhome again,
And wakening in the mother'* breast anew.
The long lost hopes her earlier feelings knew:
And bidding fires on cheerless hearths to'glow,
Dispelling every trace of want and woe, s ✓
And scattering peace and plenty all around,
Whete penury and want were lately found,
The laureled hero coming from the strife,
Where thousand hearts have yielded up their life,
Wears not go bright a halo round his name,
As that which keeps alive thine own proud fame.
For though his cause be sanctioned just and good,
His name must stillstand lettered forth in blood.
While thine embalmed in hearts made warm by thee.
Is cherished there in love and purity.
The Wanderer.-t^How often do we see
destitute and ragged objects of humanity, with
no apparent aim or desire, wandering along the
highway and subsisting as chance favored their
forlorn condition. Such sights, although too
frequent are rare in this country, comparative
ly speaking, and then scarcely ever displayed
by any one born upon the soil of our happy
land ; happily, the American spirit, early trained
by association and example, to hold a proud
and elevated brow, whatever may be life's des
tiny, is scarcely ever brought to the condition
of a vagabond wanderer, living upon the offal
of humanity, and at last perishing by the road
side, alongside of the only friend left him in
the wide world—an empty bottle ! These re
flections are induced by a scene that we witness
ed a few days since. Passing by the Plentere'
Hotel, we heard some one playing delightfujly
on a piano which was in waiting to be sent to
{lew Orleans—and naturally expecting, from
past associations, to see the keys touched by
hands whose delicacy were in unison with the
polished ivory and the glistening rosewood,
we looked in, but instead of having our ima
ginations realized, we saw an object in front of
that instrument of beauty and refinement who
of all specimens of humanity, was the last that
we would have suspicioned of being an accom
plished performer on the piano-forte, which
was evident from the manner that he dashed
off the most difficult airs. One glance was
sufficient to read his history. The ragged and
filthy exterior,, the btoafed features and matted
hair, and the careless indifference that he seemed
to regard his condition, at once proclaimed him
a victim of the bottle, and dead to the sensi
tiveness of a proper pride or an honorable bear
ing. Some money was thrown into his slouch
ed and antiquated hat —his talents procured
him a night 's lodging—and next morning, the
wanderer, whose dialect {unclaimed a foreign
birth, went en his way, himself and bottle re
plenished, to drag out a few more worthless
days, far away from the land of bis kindred,
—the fond hopes of parents crushed, his talents
prostituted, and his life ebhing away until it
finally sinks into the grave of the vagabond
and sot.
DTPlease notice that Thompson & Nixon's
splendid clothing establishment is Not 19 Camp
street, not 9, as we had it last week.
A Visit to our Friends.
Gigantic as the enterprise may seem, we
have determined to make the attempt to carry
out fully the principle embraced in these words
"if you would have your business done well'
do it yourself"—and have, therefore, deter
mined, besides conducting individually the edi
torial and mechanical departments of our of
fice, to make a semi-annual tour of the parish
es of Iberville, East and West Baton Rouge,
(where our paper principally circulates) not
only for the purpose of making collections—a
great desideratum to the accomplishment of
an editor's designs—but to gain such informa
tion respecting the wants, interests and advan
tages of various sections, particularly of this
parish, that we may be better enabled, by per
sonal acquaintance, to make the Santinel—
what is indeed its legitimate duty—the organ
through which are sustained the various inter
ests of the people of Iberville and her sister
parishes above.
As an editor is expected to have a certain
extent of knowledge upon every subject, he
cannot hope to meet these moderate expecta
tions without some trouble and diligence on
his part; and, to a country editor, no species of
knowledge ismorefhiportant,bothtohis friends
and himself, than a personal and topographical
acquaintance throughout the districts which he
considers to be especially under the protection
of his paper.
With the above avowed object, it is our in
îîiïtiGh to make an early start for the districts
above—for the neighborhood of the ïsiand and
Bayou Goula—Indian Village, Bayou Grosse
Tête, &c. Wherever our inclination or our
necessities call us, we trust that our visit will
not be considered an unwelcome or untimely

snag last Friday in Bayou Sorel bay, and sunk
to her hurricane deck ; she had a cargo of 270

learn were partially insured. We did not learn
that any lives were lost, although we under

that were on board.

contents of a work so justly celebrated, and
the reputation of which almost every school
boy is acquainted. The prospectus for this
and several celebrated foreign reviews, by the
same firm, we will endeavor to get into our
next issue.

Verandah Hotel.
THE additions and improvements in this
House, made during the past sensor», will
render its facilities for accommodations inferior
to no Hotel in the country. A new and ele
gant Dining Room and several suits of apart
ments for families have been furnished in the
adjoining building on St. Charles street, thus
making this department of the house more per
fect than ever. The accommodations for gen
tlemen have been proportionately increased in
extent and convenience. The proprietors,
while acknowledging their obligation to the nu
merous friends and patrons of the Verandah'
for the liberal support it has received under
their administration, would at the same time
assure them that no exertion on their part shall
be lacking to warrant a continuance of their

The Louisville Journal says: "Dr. Rogers' Liverwort and
Tar not only gives immediate relief in Coughs and Colds,
but from the testimony of meu of the highest .standing hero
and elsewhere, it is making some very remarkable eures of
Consumption. M
The Rah way Register adds: "We have heard it stated by
persons of great respectability, who bare used tili» medi

age, fer Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Bronchitis, Asthma, Pain

LIVERWORT.
This plant has for many years been found to tp of singu

TAR.
This nrliilo i* now universally acknowledged to be tin
most healing and efficient application for diseased or decay
ing lungs, or any portion of the fleshy or muscular part' of
the human body. Its medicinal and preservative qualu .ca
were understood by the Egyptiaa* in the early ages of tho
world, and no doubt now exists among scientific men, that
the preparation used in the embalmment of bodies, was
composed principally of this ingrédient, in lalnrages, it
was found to be in universal use anMng the nbnrigiaies of
Amcrica, and at tin:, day it is their principal, and, in fact,
only medicine for an unsound state of the langt, or any ap
proach tf it. Those who are acquainted with the history of
this hardy race of men, know that a death from Cmuwmp
tion is unknown umong them! Tho medical faculty io all
countries appear to have become aw are of the great healing
properties of this article, and are now introducing it into
their practice. Dr. Buchan of Eugland, Dr. Crighton of St.
Petersburg, Dr. La Prieure of Paris, and the distinguished
Dr. Cooper, have boen in the habit of combining it with oth

Messrs. Sanford & Park—Gents: This is to certify, that my
wife Nancy Doboney, has been in a declining state of health
for the last two years. Her disease baffled the skill of tho
best medical aid i eoukl procure—her physicians pronownc
ed her disease "consumption in the last stage," and said that
her recovery was past all human hopes. At a last resort,
with very little hope, I proenred Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry. After using a few bottles, I found, to my agreeable
surprise, that her hoalth was improving rapidly. She is now
so fur restored as to be able to attend to her regular house
hold duties, without suffering any inconvenience. Her ra
pid improvement aud present health warrant me in the be
lief that she will soon be entirely restored.
