John Sapping ton's Jinti-Fever Pills ARE offered to the public as the most certain and effectual remedy for fevers of every descrip j tion. . ';?< " .... . / > ? The unprecedented success of this n edcine for the cure of fevers in various parts of the United States, would seem to preclude the necessity of a publication ; yet when it is believed that thousands are deprived of its incalculable advantages without j such a communication, a sense of duty to my fellows ( man, as well as other considerations, have induced ! me-to make my medicine generally Known, so that ) all may try it and judge for themselves. For up , wards of forty years I have treated fevers upon this i plan now offered to the community, and have had ample evidence of its superior efficacy over any oth-' er mode of treating fevers-. The experience also of i thousands of individuals in the Soutnern and West ; em States, has induced them to write me of its hap^ ! py and wonderful effects. WHENEVER TRIED j it has produced confidence upon its own intrinsic me rit, unaided by newspaper bombast or puffing, and ! now stands .WITHOUT A RIVAL. Unlike most j other medicines for the cure of fevers, it is possessed of the singular and admirable properties of neither : sickening the stomach nor operating on the bowels as a purgative. It corrects the bile, gives tone and i energy to the stomach arid bowels, and thereby communicates health and strength to the whole sys tem. It also breaks the Ague and Fever in from 24 to 48 hours, daring which time the patient feels no sensible benefit from it, but finds himself suddenly ; well without being conscious of its mode of opera j tion. Fevers of a different character (a description^ j of which will accompany each box of medicine) re quire a longer time under t*ny treatment ; but perse vering regularly in the use of this medicine, they wilLyield much sooner, and to a much greater cer tainty, than by any other treatment. It is also en tirely harmless. Persons laboring, travelling, or in any situation may take them, and at the same time use ordinary diet or drink with perfect safety. It al so has the effect of preventing the formation of fe- j vers; I would therefore advise persons residing in or travelling through sickly districts of country to use it as a preventive, particularly if indisposed, as such will often save time and prevent a protracted illness.

State, was last year persuaded by some wags of his neighborhood, that if he did not reach the State House at 10 o'clock 'on the day of Assembly, he could not be sworn, and would lose his seat. He immediately moun ted, with hunting, frock, rifle and bowie knife, and spurred till he got to the door of the Senate house, where lie hitched his nag. A crowed were in the chamber in the lower house on the ground floor, walking about with their hats on and smoking cigars. Those he passed, ran up stairs into the^Senate chamber, set his rifle against the waltf a.ud bawled out " Strangers, whars the matCJhat swors me in?" at'the same time taking out his credentials. 44 Walk this way," said the clerk who was at the moment igniting a real Principe, itreThe was sworn without inquiry.

After this admirable harangue, he put his bowie knife between his teeth and took up his rifle with, " Come here old Suke stand by me !" at the the same time presen ted it to the chairman who, howeverbad ee?n such people before. After som$ expostnla- , tion, the man was persuaded that he be longed to the lower chamber, upon which he sheathed his knife, flung his guo OttJM* shoulder, and with profound congee remarked, * Gentlemen, -I beg your pardon.

' National Con fidcrict " There never was, and probably never will be," said Ciptain Morington, 44 so powerful an example of the influence of national'' confidence- and cour tesy, remaining unimpaired even doting the continuance of a ferocious engagement, as that which Talavera exhibits. All the morn ing the battle raged, and the day assault was as unsuccessful as the night attack had proved. Both armies had lain ..upon the ground, but none had sleptf?the trooper with his horse's bridle around his* arm? the soldier in momentary expectation of a fresh attempt, listened in every noise for the ene my's approach. No wonder then, rtbat a sultry day in July found both sides overcome with heat and hunger? and by a sort of com mon consent, loug before noon, hostilities ceased, and the French cooked their dinners, while the English had wine and bread senred out. Then it was that a curious scene en sued. ? ? ,v. A small stream, tributary to the vTagu?f flowed through a part of the battle ground, and separated the combatants. During the pause that the heat of the weather and the weariness ol the troops produced, bistb ar mies went to the banks of the rivulet, for water. The men approachdd each other fearlessly, threw down their caps and mus kets, chatted to each other like old acquaint ances, and exchanged their brandy flaite and wine skins. All asperity of feeling seem ed forgotten. To a stranger they would ap pear more like an allied force, than men hot from a ferocious conflict, and only gathering strength and energy to commence it anew* But a still nobler rivalry for a time existed? the interval was employed in carrying off the wounded, who lay intermixed upon the hard, contested field ; and to the honor of both be it told, each endeavored to extricate common sufferers, and to jremore.. their unfortunate friends and enemies without distinction. Sua* denly? --the bugles sounded? the drums beat to arms? many of the rival soldiery shook hands and parted with expressions of mutual , esteem, and in ten minujes. after were again . at thebayonet's point.? The Bimac. THE MOON.? In the last number of the Mouthly Chronicle we find some statements drawn from astronomical observations, which must be quite new to those who hive hither to supposed this planet to be inhabited by animal beings. The most powerful telescope* ! ever yet constructed do not enable us to see distincly an object- w^ose visual magnitude is so small as one secobd, corresponding to a mile on the surface of the moon. it. there Tore, follows that an object, say a, town, on the moon, measuring a mile across in each direction, would be too small to be discerned by any rid which, telescopes have yet sup plied. 44 If the inoon be examined," says ihe writer 44 for any<length of time with the aid of the most ordinary telescope*, the ob server cannot fail to be struck witlj the unal terable character of the outlines of;light and shade, upon Jber surface. These are so dis tinct and, well denned, that they may be delineated- * wifihf great" exactness, and a map exhibiting their appeaiarice atany one time will continue at" all times to exhibit that ap pearance with the sauie . fidelity and precii ion.% .

TH- character of the entire surface of the moon, so far as telescopic power has made it known to us; is iust what might have been expected in a worfd deprived of air and water, and the tribe of beings to whose life these are necessary. This most hospitable plariet exhibits a wid^' waste of surface, div^-sified by noticing 'b"t lofty mountains and cavernous vaUies. Chains of mountains and insulated hills are spread over every part of the surface, and lift their menacing .and, precipitous sides frequently to the height of five perpendicular miles.
