The officers employed in recruiting
for the navy at the northern ports have
met with very little success, though seamen
are plentiful. The latter require
better wages, a fairer distribution' of
prize-money, and the abolition of flogging,
before they will voluntarily leave
the merchant service for the navy.

The Rights of Women.?There is
an evident disposition throughout the
Union to abolish those absurd and unjust
restrictions which the common law
imposes upon the equitable rights of
married women in their property. To
quote a master spirit of legislation, "it
is not right to make a man a tyrant, and
to reduce to a passive state of slaverv
the sex which by its feebleness and its
tenderness, most needs the protection of
the laws. The interest of women have
been too often sacrificed. The rules of
marriage are a code of violence; the
man receives the lion's share." For
years the attention of the most enlightened
American legislators has been directed
to this subject, but the age was
too far behind the movement proposed,
to enable them to accomplish much.
Light is, however gradually penetrating
the darkest recesses of the public mind ;
and during the course of this winter, several
of the legislatures of the Union
have passed laws to protect the rights of
women.
In Ohio, the subjcct has been warmly

under consideration a bill enlarging- the
powers of married women. <
In Kentucky, the privileges of mar- i
ried women have been greatly increased.
Slave properly is to be placed in the
same category with real, and is not to .
be liable to the debts of the husband,
during coveture. Nor," to use the
words of the law, "shall the life estate '
of the husband, his wife living, be levied i
on, executed, or sold for his debts or lia- j
bilities.
Although we have not the data be- |
fore us, we believe that the law in Ala- ,
bama, has been materially amended, in (
this respect.
The time cannot, surely, be far dis- '
tarit, when the law of the whole Union
will respect woman equally with man. ]
It is a r?li(* of Vi:irKj?riism luiiip'n Monioc i

to woman, when married, the light of ,
disposing of her own property; and,
holding these views, we are glad to see '
that a bill has been reported in our legis- 1
Ialure, to allow married females to hold !
and convey real estate. There can be '
no reasonable objection to such a law??it
is a simple act of justice, a restoration
to women of the rights of which they '
have long been deprived?and, there- 1
fove, our law-makers will do well to '
pass it. '

presented in the House of Representatives
of Mississippi, praying
r~.. - - * - ?
ui uiu passage wi un Act, legalizing
a lottery, for the purpose ol
completing a Catholic Cathedral
at Natchez. Mr. McCaughan opposed
the Petition, saying " he had
no objection to the erection of a
Church to worship our Saviour in,
but he was opposed to calling on
the devil to build it."
Taking it Easy.?When a stranger
treats me with want of respect,
said a poor philosopher, " I com-*
fort myself with the reflection that
it is not myself that he slights, by
my old coat and shabby hat, which
to say the truth, have no particut
i - -
lar claims to adoration. !So if my
hat and coat choose to fret about
it, let them: but it is nothing to
me." This philosopher, with all
his poverty, was rich in wisdom.
They have a gambling establishment
at Corpus Christi, called the
" Tiger's Cave," and it is a common
expression there to say," come
let's go down to the cave and tame
the tiger.'' We imagine the " tiger"
gets the upper hand of his
customers, as the games he plays
are those ending in the " more you
put down the less you take up."

the present time, locked up in the
British Court of Chancery, no less
than six manors,yielding an annual
income of ?00,000.
Signs of Progress.?The Planter's
Banner, (La.) says that recent
news was formerly headed by a
horse in full gallop?afterward by
a steamboat?then by a locomotive
on a railroad?and now by a
streak of lightning, as an emblem
of Morse's Electro-Magnetic Telegragh.

A Guano Mummy.?In the recent
excavation at Ichaboe, a second
mummy was found, which was
brought to England. The body is
that of a full grown man enclosed
in a coffin which is yet perfectly
entire, as also the trowsers and
shirt of the deceased, the former
of duck and the latter of cotton,
both of which on being tried, retained
all the strength.of the new
fabric. The body itself, says an
account in a London paper, seems
as if it were tanned leather; the
flesh has become in a great measure
absorbed with all the softer
animal tissues; but the muscular

veins and tendons of the extremities
are curiously shown stretched
over the bones. The teeth are
still white and sound; and the
hair still curls on the head. The
color of the body is a dark brown,
and the whole exhibition is an interesting
one. It is supposed to
have been the mate of a ship, buried
more than a century ago, as
some records prove.

In submitting to the Southern Public
the Prospectus tor the Fourth Volume of
the Southern Cultivator, which may now
be regarded as permanently established,
the Publishers deem it unnecessary to advert
to the high character the Work has
attained under the editorial control of Mr.

to the Planters and Friends of Agriculture
throughout the Southern States, to
aid them in sustaining a publication devot
ted exclusively to the cause of Agriculture.
The advantages and benefits resulting
from Agricultural Periodicals, have been
felt and acknowledged by tiie intelligent
and i effecting tillers of the soil in all civilized
nations ; to be most useful, therefore,
tbey should be extensively circulated
among nil classes of Agriculturists; if
possible, they should be in the hands of
every man who tills an acre of land, and
to this end we myoke the aid of every one
who feels an interest in the improvement
of the Agriculture of the South.

Dr. Spencer's Vegetable Pills,
and Vegetable Tonic and Restoraliu
BITTERS.
The value and cfficacy of Spencer's Vegetable
Pills have long been known and appreciated
in a great variety of diseases,and
as the best and most important of Family
Medicines. Dr Spencer having been ac~
tuated by a desire to benefit his fellow beings,
has also prepared his Vegetuble Tonic
and Restorative Bitters, which he now
offers to the public, as the result of an extensive
practice, and thorough investiga
non or uie jaws winch govern the human
syHtem.
They are purely Vegetable, and may be
taken with perfect safety by all ages and
sexes in youthful, adult and declining life.
The design of Spencer's Vegetable Pills
and Vegetable Tonic Restorative Bitters,
is to create a flow of pure healthy bile, instead
of the stale and acid kind.
The obiect of the Pills is to stimulate
all the vital organs of the system into r.ction,
and thereby cleanse the stomach and
bowels of all the morbific and offensive
matter with which ihe system is clogged,
and which promotes disease. The Bitters
are to strengthen and restore the stomach
and vital organs, to their proper tone and
vigor. When this is accomplished, good
health must be the result
The complaints that come most directly
under their influence, and for which they
are so particularly designed, are as follows:
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia,
Liver Domplaints, Sick head ache.
Enlargement of the Spleen, Jaundice,Piles
Cholic, Bowel and summer complaints.
Impurities of the blood, Female Obstruct
tion, Heartburn, Incipient Diorroeh, Habi^
tual Costiveness, Determination of blood
to ihe head, Losb of Appetite, Blotched or
Sallow Complexion and in all cases of
Torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or
apperient medicine is needed. As many
of the above enumerated diseases come on
imperceptibly, and become far advanced
in their progress before it is suspected that
they exist in the system, no one should
expect in such cases, to be at once relieve
ed entirely, but should continue the use of
the Medicine for a considerable length of
time. Full directions accompany the me-?
dicines for their use,in all those complaints
for which they are recommended.
Price 25 cents per box for the Pills, and
$1 per bottle for the Bitters.
Reader ! do not fail to notice the following
certificate from Mr James Lindsy, of
Jefferson, Jackson co., Geo.
To Dr. Spcncer? March 18, 184G.
Dear Sir: I have made great use of
your Vegetable Pills in my family for the
last thiee years, and I consider them the
best/jjtdicine in use. I have made considerable
use of Peters* Vegetable Pills,
and many others, but 1 am convinced that
yours are superior to any of them. For
Sick Head Ache they are an excellent
medicine; for Bowel Complaint I think
them the best (nedicine 1 ever used. Some
of my neighbors are also using your Pills
with the most decided benefit. In fine, I
candidly confess that I have derived more
real benefit from them than from any other
medicine 1 have ever used; and 1 think
that every family should always keep a
supply of them on hand.
