We have received the fir.t, second aud subsequent numbers of the Daily News. a paiper published by Messrs. Pritchard and Bush, at Augusta, Ga. It is full of fun; but stialI contains articles of a grave cha racter. The principles of the Editors are democratic. We will publish the pros pectus shortly. The paper opens with the following inugural "This morning we present to our friendi 6ud patrons the first number of our paper. It is not established to favor or oppose any political party---promote any particular moral dogma-or intended to advance any interest or cause, other than the disse mination of the general news of the day. That is its object---none other. * Upon every question which may agi tate the public mind, of a local or general nature, we shall express ourselves fully and freely; and although we may occa sionally. differ with our readers, we shall claim for ourselves the same integrity of purpose, that we would ever willingly and most cordially yield to them. - It is impossible for an editor, even in the ' piping limes of peace' to give gene ral satisfaction in the conduction of a pa per. But to this wq May stand pledged; we will avail ourselves of the earliest news of interest from all sections, and has - ten to lay it before our readers, and spare neither time, moniy, nor labor to effect it. " Arrangements are in progress which will be perfected, in time for the approach ing business season, to place the commer cial department under the control of some one of the most experienced and intelligent business men in our city, whose extensive correspondence in Europe, as well as in the manufacturing states of our own country, will render him pre-eminently qualified to discharge the duties of that office." [Communicated.] LExtNioTo' DIsTRICT, Aug. 15.

The encampment of the officers ofihe 1st Brigade, (atPickensville,) closed on Sat ur day, we believe with the universal adini ration of all present, either as officers or spectators. It was-a striking proof of how short a time is required to make militia, good troops. We heard but one remark from officers of the highest rank down. and that was, that they had never witnessed such a drill of militia troops. Indeed. General MeDuffie, who has just returned from France, pronounced them equal to French regulars. General rhompson commanded, and conducted the drill on tbe day of review.. We had long admired him for his talents and eloquence, and loved him for his thousand private virtues, but had not supposed, with his other tnany avocations, that he knew very much of mailitary affairs ; but lie managed the whole affairs of the week, and drilled with the precision and accuracy of one who had been raised in a camp. The only unpleasant occurrence, was the loss of a hand by one of the tmen, (Captain Robins, of Pickens District.) from the bursting of a gun. Just before the troops weore dismissed, they were addressed by General Thompson upon the subject, and immediately contributed upiwards o'f two hundred dollars to the poor man's relief.

BoUNDARY DtsPUTEs.---We clip the following from the Iowa Gazette and Bur lington Advertiser, of July 10. It seems thatour old fellow citizen, of Woolverine celebrity, has got another boundary strife upon his head. Missouri and lowa.-Governor Lucas, we understand, has been ollicially notified by the commissioner of Van Buren county, that the officers of the state of Missouri, fori the first time, have been engaged in as sessing the people residing on the territo ry in dispute between Iowa and Missouri, and over which, tp to the present time, % iscousin and lowa have exercised uu disputed jurisdiction. We are no alarmists, but it must be ac knowledged that the controversy between this Territory and the state of Missouri, is beginning to wyear a serious aspect. The assessment being now made, the next move of Missouri will be to enforce the payment of taxes, and thus will have ar rived ilhe crisis. The duties of the authori ities of lowa, in sitch an event, are plain, and must be fulfilled. The first otlicer of Missouri who is found engaged in exerei sing the functions of his office in Van Bu ren county, in this Territory, or the terri tory in dispute, will he arrested and im prisoned. To (o this, the sheriff of the couity, it, we mistake not, is clothed with power to call to his aid the militia of the county; and should that prove to be inade quate, to call upon the Commander-in chief for aid from the militia of the Ter ritory. Should these occurences, which to'us seem ineviable,trans pire, what course is it expected ofGov. Lucas to pursue ? To us it seems he has no discretion in the matter-he is bound to see that the laws are faithfully executed, and to give, so far as is in his power, protection to the citizen. It may tharefore he reasonablv supposed, that any and.every attempt by a foreign power to exercise jurisdiction over any part of Iowa, will be resisted by him vig orously and determinedly. This is the only conclusion which the slightest ac qtaintance with the character of the man will warrant; and we may here add thett in this course the pdople' of lowa, ith unexampled una.imity, will sustain him. We hope we may he disappointed in this anticipated state of things. and that Missouri will not madly persist in her en croachmemt upon our territory. If that statebhonestly believes in the justice of herctiim, why not await the decision of Congress upon the subject ? The next session of that body will most probably act definitely on the matter-then why create useless trouble now ? The refusal to a wait or abide by the decision of the na tional legislature, taken in connexion with the immense advantages which a sover eign state has in a contest with a weak and dependent Territory, argues but little in her favor. Even if the claims of Missouri and Iowa to the disputed territory, should be equal, we all know that at a time like the present, when both the political parties of the country mostly shape their course of conduct with a view to erect, and with 'the aid of two distinguished Senators and two members of the House of Representa tives. success on her part would he almost certain. The controversy between Ohio and Michigan amply illustrates this posi ion. To Iowa, we say, let your conduct he firm, but temperate-use no threats or vaporing menaces-he strict in enforcing your laws-and the General Govenment, we doubt not, will, in time, give you' am pIe protdction. Nxw YORK, Aug. 11. FROM THE BALz.-By the sehr. Eli zaheth, Capt. Snow, we have Balize (h onduras) papers to July 13.

Nnw ORLKAS, Aug. 8. LATEST FROM lEXxtCo.-There have been two arrivals here this morning from Mexico. One bringing accounts from Matamnoras to the last week in Jtuly; and the other furmtshing news from Tamapico to the 1st of Augttst. By the way of Matamoras, we learn that'general Laemus had obtained arms atnd ammunition, and was at the head of 2000 Federalists at Mouclova, on the 24th of. July, and intended to march on Motnterey, where the Centralist general Canalizo was doing nothing,in cotnsequence of thefeeble ness of his forces. The town of Matamoras was stll con sidered as in a state of seige. Little or notitng was doing itn the business line ; and the government officers were quarrel ling among themsielves. Trhe latest Tatmpico (late we have is da t ed July 27. Things remained quiet, and mercantile business was very good. There was a report among the English merchants, that Mr. Packenham wouild settle the dispute between Mexico and Texas. The English packet Rebecca sailed from Tampico on the 25th of July, with 663,569 dollars itn specie on board. She was to touch at Vera Cruz, before she steered for isnglantd. It was reported that the Mexican gov ernment had determined that no tnore coitt or bulliott should be exported bmy the way ofTamnpico. This report had created dts satisfaction. Ott the 17th of July, Bust ametnte enter edl the capital of Mexico. and is said to have been received with gladness. He issned n. maoifesto on the occasion, which may be -termed noncommittal, or words with no meaning. The captain of the vessel from Mata moras informs its that the Mexicans there occasionally boasted of what Ihey intended to do in Texas, as soon as Lemus should he put down. Mexico, they said, would send twenty thousand men to chase hack the intruders over the Sabine. These < givingsout do not agree with the opinions entertained by the English in Mexico. The latter think that John Bull will be able to patch up a peace. front which he may promise himself some important ad vantages. Sickness was rather prevalent at Tam pico.-Courier.

But though 9 most-farmers keep fowls, and raise their own eggs, there are many who have not yet learned the difference there is in the richness and flavor of eggs produced by fat and well fed hens, and those from birds that have been half starved through our winters. There will be some differ- l ence tn the size, but far more in the quali- c ty. The yolk of one will be large, fine colored, and of good consistence, and the allumen or white, clear and pure; while the contents of the other will be watery and meager, as though there was not vitali ty or substance enough in the parent fowl to properly carry out and complete the t work that nature had sketched. In order e to have good eggs, the hens should be well < fed, and alco provided during the months they are unable to come at the ground, with a box of earth containing abundance of fine gravel, (if of limestone, so much the c hetter,) that they may be able to grind , AEnd prepare for digestion the food they re- I ieive.

An Eventful Week.-The Columibuin, (Ga.) Journal, thus chronicles a few brief events in the life of a citizen. He was mar.

On Saturday his child died ; on Sinday it t was buried; on Monda: an infant of two t years parentage, hitherto unknown was F icknowledged as of his wife's maternity; on Tuesday he was hailed out of jail; and on Wednesday wound up the week by turning his wife out of doors, bag and bag- f gage, heating her nurse, and throwing the i doctor's saddlebags after him when that 1 worthy expostulated. Aboriginal Remains.-In the course of some recent excavations in Williamsport, Md. for improvement 'purposes, as we v learn from the Banner, some relics and implements of war have beeni disinterred. They consist of a tomahawk, bayonet, somne pieces of iron. t'ragments of earm hero ware, and some pieces of hones-all in tolerable preservation.

For a truth, a good man has been gathered nto his tethers. . The Rev. SAMUEL MARsH (ied on the 10th ay oftJuly, at the residence of his.son, in the ounty of Carroll, Mississippi, in the 77th year f his ace. Mr. Rarsh was born in the year 1763, in the tate of North Carolina. In 1764. his parents emoved to Edgefield District, S. C., where lie lew tip and resided for 53 years. In his 20th ear, he became the subject of converting race, and found the blessing of perfect love, 'f which he gave such ample proof that he was iken into the Baptist Church, and received the rdinance. of Baptism. He gave by his irre roachable life such strong evidences of his doption into the family of Christ, that in the 'ear following lie was'licensed to preach the verlasting gospel to his fellow mien. and teach hen the divine precepts of Christianity, as tught bydur bles:ed Saviour. On this occasiOit or a truth, the tree was known by its fruit. Un er the sound ofhis voice, hundreds of persons vere converted to a knowledge of the truth of hat pure and undefiled religion so necessary to lie salvation of fallen men, who united them elves with the holy ordinance of Baptism, ac ording to the true Apostolic mode. His name recorded, and will be handed down to poste ity, as one of the ditinguished patriachs of the laptist Church. In 1819. he emigrated, with his family, to the kate of Mississippi, and settled in the county f Amite, where he resided until January, l828; ie then removed to Society Ridge, Hinds ounty; aflter living there a few years, lie re aoved to Tallahatchie; and finally, in 1835, ettled in the county of Carroll, where he re mained until the day of his death-and conti tied a faithful and zealons preacher of the ospel as long as his physical power continued, vith no other reward for his services than that ought by every truly pious christian, a sent at he right hand of the Great Judge of all the arth, and a crown of glory in the world to ome. The funeral sermon of the deceased was reached in a grove near the burying ground, efore the corpse was interred. 'by the Rev. Villiam Minter, of Try. from Revelations, hap. xiv, and part of the 13th verse: Blessed are the dead wshich die in the Lord.from enceforth: Yea. saith the Spirit, that they may est from their labors ; and their trorks may fol no them." From the time that he took up his cross until lit! day of his death, he never ceased to press trward to the mark of the prize of his high alling, in which he was engaged. with a firm tep and determination. that never faltered by ie way-side. The were form of religion was not with him nly an occasional exercise, andl an outward how of professioii at particular times; but it vas so completely interwoven among the very ibres of hisexistence, that his whole course and onduct in life, were disciplined and regulated y the holy piecepts of christianity, and very riiiciple and passion of his nature kept in a tate of perfect subjection to its divine com oands. His religion was of tit pure and happy cha acter, which steered clear of unbecomming ad light frivolties o the oine hand, and at the ame time never fell into tie other extreme of hat pharisaical sulliness too often mistaken for he devout feelings of a truly pious christian, irofessing to follow in the footsteps, and imitate he example set them by our cheerful and vely Saviour while on earth. No one detested sin, in all its hideous shapes ad forms, inore than he did; still lie knew ow to draw a rational distinction between sin tself. and-its unfortunate victims. and never lendedthemin the same uncompromising latr dwhich often drives the unconverted and impe itent from beyond the precincts of the church, nd the hope of mercy. Thus in rebuking sin itness both by precept and example, he sel lom or never made an enemy, but entwined tround him the cordiail love and esteem of all who knew him. Naturally mild. simple. and maffected in his manners, and ofPan accommo ating and yielding dispositiain in mere worldly natters, still he possessed a moral and religions irmness, which no earthly power could over omae or even shake. Although like the pa.. riarchs of ancient times, lie lived toa good old ge, his irreparable loss is deeply felt by his re ations and friends ; but they do not mourn asq hose who have no hope. His frame wvas weak ad feeble, and he had been on the decline for everal years, and could not, according to the 'omamonm course of human events, have conti inued long;t but his death was accelerated by a ill froni his horse. a few days previous to his lissolution, from which he did not recover. His suffering, during the last days of his ill less, was bordt with christian Ibitittude. and he flea declared, that he ha i no desire to out ive his ability to do good-but was willianr to lepart and be wvith his Lord and Master, in the egions of etel-nah bliss.

Thence it passes into the stomach aind intestines, aid regulates the indigestion. Thus wc see when thire is a deficiency of bilethe body is constantlycostive. On the o.her hand, an overabundance of hilo causes fireqnent nausea in the stomach; and of ten promotes very severe attacks of disease, which somretimes end in death. Fevers are always preceded by symptoms of a disordered stottach; as are also scrofulous' disordeis, and all -sympathetic functional. or. gantic orfebrile diseass. From the sante cause. the natural and healhy detion of the beart, and the whole vascular system is impaired and redt ced below its natural standard as exhibited it palpitations, languid pulse. torpor of the limbs, syncope, and even death itselt, in cousequence of an overabundance of a peculiaroffensive sub stance to the digestive organs. The approach ofbilious diseasesis at all times at:en.ed by decided symptoms of an existing diseased state of the stomach and- bowe's; i. e. with it hose whichi are known to poit out fdidiF contents to be of a morbid irritating nature; but! whenever the alimentary canal happeus to be loaded wit irritating water, some derange mtent of healthy operation either of the general system, or ofsome particunlar organ or the body is the certain result. and when this state hap. pets to be united with any other symptoms of disease, its effiects are always thereby much ag gravated. The progress of organic obstruction isolten so rapid as scarcely to admit oftime for the application of such aid as is to be offered by art, yet, in generai the premonitory symptoms of gastric load are perceptible for a day or two' previous to the feverish piaroism,a peried, whet the most efficacious assistance may fie girdn, by unloading'the stomach and alimentary cahil' ofits irritating contents, and thus reducing tho' stisceptibility of diseaae. MblFFATS LIFE MEDICINES, -shonld always be taken in the early stages of bilions complaints; antid if persevered in strictly accord ing to the directions, will 'positively effect a cure. The mineral medicines often prescribed int these diseases, although they may effect a ten porary Cre, at the saume time create an un healthy state of the blood, and consequently tend to promote a return (if the very disease which they are employed to cue. It is then'hy the use of purgaives, exchtsively formed of vegetable compounds, which. possessing within tlenselves no deleterious agencies, which de composition, combination, or alteration can develope or bring into action; and therefore cn pable of producing no effect, save that which is desired-that a safe remedy is found. The LIFE PILLS and PHENIX BIT TERS have proved to be the most happy- in their effects in cases of Bilious diseases, of any purely vegetable preparation ever offered to the public. I the otonmach is foul, they cleanse it by exciting it to throw off its cortents: if nos they pass to the duodenum without exciting vomiting or nausea in the stomach; stimulating the ieighboring vicera. as the liver and pan creas. so as to produce a more copious flow of their secretions into the intestines; stimulating the exhalent capillaries, t, rininating im, the inner coat, which an increased flow of the use less particles of the body, foreign matters; or retai ned secretions, are completely discharged.
