Satisftd Jlmbition. Senator Borland,
tinhts late reply to the challenge of the
Hon. T. B. Flournoy, at Little Bock, said
that, he was "sufficiently shot at in the
- war with Mexico to satisfy the ambition
of any nan." ', , , .
21s! A very sensible reply from Sena-
tor Borland, and a tnuch stronger exhibi
tion of true; courage than vie see put for
ward by our public men,, now a-days.
He might very truly have replied in the
'' language of the anecdote which we pub
lished the other day, that "any fool could
, give a challenge, but it takes two to light
a duel." In thus refuting' to make a fool
of himself, he hat given the best evidence
that Jie is a man of genuine courage.

expected at this season of the year.
But few Indian were seen upon the
plains except Kansas, Osages, &c, who
appeared perfectly friendly.
The new in regard to trade, &e., is of

L. mi. Masmiigton, civu sou military
cotmnaudant of New Mexico, arrived at

which, was destined for California. They
pursued their march without molestation,
and, indeed, receiving the hospitality of
the Mexicans, until their arrival at Chi
huahua ; where, after making all neces
sary arrangements, the command, on the
4th of September, seperated, Col. Wash
ington pursuing hi route to Santa Fe;
and Maj. Graham assuming the command

oons, and two campanies of the 1st, under
the command of Capt. Rucker. The dis
tance which they had (o march is set down
at 1300 miles. The distance from Chi
huahua to Santa Fe is stated a 1200 miles,
and the average march per day to Chihua
hua is set down at 20 miles, and thence to
Santa Fe 17 1-2 miles.
The Republican contains the proceedings
of a Convention of delegate's of the peo
ple of New Mexico, "to form a constitu
tion, and apply to Congress for a State or
Territorial Government, and to do s'icli
other acts as to them my seem for the in

The meeting of parliament
has been postponed from the 5th
to the 12th inst.

FRANCE.
The National Assembly de
termined to support a motion to
postpone the election of rresi-

will be successful.
AUSTRIA.
The last accounts left affairs
in Austria doubtful. Vienna
was bombarded, and the slaugh
ter was great. There is a chance
for a peaceful termination of the
crisis in Italy.
It was rumored at Vienna that
it had been decided in case the
Imperial Bank of Vienna should
be pillaged, the notes should be
declared of no value. Measures
also have been taken to place
the Bank under military guard.

Murders and riots continue,
and the country is very unset
tied. V

SCARLET FEVER.
On tho first attack of this disease, the
fauces generally become much inflamed,
soon succeeded by grayish sloughs, which
renders the breath fetidthe parotid and
other glands swell, tumefy and suppurate.
The tongue, teeth and lips are covered
with a brown or blockish incnistatior, the
eyes red and dull, deafness, delirium, co
ma, and when malignant, death frequent
ly closes the scene. No form of mercury,
nor any medicine that excites the mucus
membranes should ever be given in this
disease, as the inflammation generally
centres in these membranes, particularly
the fauces, parotid and other salivary
glands. The prima via should be imme
diately evacuated, and we know of no
thing so well adapted to this as Dr. Bragg's
Indian Queen Vegetable Sugar Coated
Anti-bilious Pills,which operate thorough
ly without irritating. Cooling drinks
should be given freely, and frequent bath
ing with cold water baa the happiest ef-
feet. . Follow up with the Tonle Pills for
a few day s to restore she system to healthy
action, and sound health will soon be es
tablished.1 Atrial will satisfy any one of
the entire efficacy of this course of treat

Mr S th W. Fowle Dear Sir s -1 take
' pli asure in Mating to you my experience
ii tho use of WUtai 's Balsam of Wild
, Cherry. I own a very valuable negro
pirl, v. ho was attacked w ith a diflicnlty of
j the lunps, which brought her in appear-
I ance to the brink of the grave. .. I consul
ted some oi our best physician", who pro
nounced her rase incurable, or that they
could do no more for her. I tried many
remedies but nne did any (rood. 1 saw
some account of Wistar's Balsam, and
I thought I would try it, but had little iaitli
m it- 1 procured a bottle, which was ad
ministered according to directions, and I
saw she began to mend ; and before the
first bottle was none she was up. ' I pro
cured a second bottle, and she took that,
and now she is, I think, cured, or nearly
so. She attends lo her daily liihor, ami I
hear no complaints from her.

Consumptive Patient! Will please read
the following statement from the Harrison
Gazette : 1 he credulous are, invited to
read the following no-o from Rev. Mr.
Coldron, whose character for truth and ve
racity is above suspicion, and have their
doubts dispelled t the superiority of Wis
tar's Bnham of Wild Cherry, overall o
ther remedies now before the public of the
same character : . '
Corydon, Ind., Jan. 88, 1848.
It is no less a duty than a pleasure to
state, for the benefit of the afflicted, that
I consider Wistnr's Balsam of Wild Cher
ry a great blessing to the human- nee.
I I r. v i n f tried it in a cuse of severe, afflic
tion of the lungs, I unhesitatingly teeoa
mend it to those similarly .afflicted, as th
best remedy I have ever tried, and one
which cured me when physician said I
must dip, and when I thought myself that
my time to depart was near at hand.
