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

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

most cordially yield to them.
- It is impossible for an editor, even in
the ' piping limes of peace' to give gene

neither time, moniy, nor labor to effect it.
" Arrangements are in progress which
will be perfected, in time for the approach

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

Mr. Editor;
The following is a return of the elec

Brigade of Infantry, held the 27th ult.:
For Captain Paul Quattlebum-Lexington

Majority for unattlebum, 567.
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.

CINCINNATI, (Ohio,) Aug. 9.
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.

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.

EGGs.-A Imnost every body loves good fresh a
eggs, and with or without glasses or silver y
spoons, can contrive to cat thema; weilber
hoiled or fried. raw or roasted, made into
custard with sugarand spices, or swallow
ed gently with a bordering of old Port,
they agree with the palate and stomach;
ani neatly laid out with fat slices of bacon, t
they form a repast within the reach of all, t
and to be despised by none. 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. Fowl- form no small item in the r
profits of the smallfarmerand fewereatures

hen are decidedly the best; but those of both
ducks and geese may he used for some

Friday he was comitted to the common a
jail of Lnwndes county. for his bride's debts.
On Saturday his child died ; on Sinday it t

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. Thefy are sup-1
posed to refer to a period anterior to the
revolution, as, according to the Banner, I
tradition reports the existence long since
of a stockade fort, on or ahout the spot
where these relies have been discovered,

"A great man has faUen in Israel!"
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. "'Twas God that
aled," "and changed the storms of life to
nidless peace!" Farewell.! thou honored
ne ; for though thon dost al'vep silent, till the
isurrection morn, " Yet live~s thy memory

The Cause of Bilious Conpd
lamnts and a Mode of Cure.
Well regulated and lroportionate gnanti.
ty of bil upons the stomach, is always re
quisite for the promoion of sound heath-it
a-timuates digestion, and keeps the intestinal
canail free from all obetruct ons. On the inferi
or surface of the.liver is a pieulihr bladder. in
which the bile is first preserved, being formed
by the liver firanmthe bood. 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.
