In Colburn's New M onthly lagazine for September, is a curious article from the pen of Buiwer; the novelist. The sub ject is the Water Cure. 'Our readers will recollect that, about two years ago, a par agraph appeared in the papers stating that this author's health was completely bro ken down. The article in Colburn con firms this rumor. It appears that for six teen years, owing to the combined effect of a weak constitution and constant men tal labor, the health of Bulwer was in a very precarious condition, until finally it completely gave way, and he became so much of a valetudinarian. as to render lire no longer an object. His own state ment is that existence became a durden. In vain he tried physician after physician -travelled abroad, or sought relief by ab stemiousness:-his nerves were shattered, his spirits gone, and his whole constitution deranged. Under such circumstances- he was in duced to try .hydropathy, or as-it is called reinipopular: e. the. blisf er i'astate of reckless desperation, ready to "kill or cure." - The result was. the entire renova tion of his health after a few months, du ring which he followed this method only at intervals. He is in consequence a con vert to the theory of Preissnitz, and has written this articlo in the first burst of proselytism. We gather many curious facts from it. The chief remedy of the System is what is called the wet sheet. 'his consists in saturating the sheet with water and after wards vringing it out; the patient then, being enveloped with the sheet, is wrap ped up hastily in blankets and placed be tween two feather beds. Such treatment would seem, at first sight, to be painful in the extreme. But it is not so. Instead of being chilled by this process, the inva lid in pervaded with a.delightful glow and soon sinks -into a refreshing sleep. Ou awaking he is plunged in a bath, rubbed dry and clothed. To tbis mode of treat ment we must add plentiful, but ordinary food, daily exercise, and an adherence to cold water beverage. Some patieuts are 4reated to the plunging bath; but this is less frequently resorted to and is more violent than the sheet. Bul%%er says, that in all acute disorders, hydropathy is an instant and certain cure ; and that, in chronic affections, the restoration to health though mere difficult, is nearly as certain. He disavows the popular notion, that it is a violent and dangerous method, tho' he himself entertained this idea when tie first resorted to the Water Cure. He .gives it as his opinion that a course under bydropaihy is neither more unpleasant. tier more perilous than a course of medi cines under regular physicians. For the first few weeks the novelist de clares his sensations to have been of the most delightful character H e felt a newv life wvithin him. The buoyant spirit of boyhood returned. Hie wvalked with a free, elastic step, such as he had not known for years. But'after a time these exulting sensations passed away. liss spirit flag ged, his nervousness-returned, he becanie peevish and fretful. It wvas at this period he thinks, that the change in his constitu ion, which has occurred, took place. From this time he emerged a new man. And* now the enjoynient of his present health, compared with that of former days;-:o use his own simile-is like be ing, suddenly raised from poverty to afflu ence. Bulwericantends that the wet sheet is, by no meass a new discovery in medi cine. It isibut the mud- bath of the old Germans, or the gbnile 'vapor bath of '.he Romans. The early patriarchs used the same remiedy when they caused an inva lid to be wrapped in tbe skin of a sheep just slain.. Nor is there any danger in its use. On the contrary, in all cases of rheumatism, in the early stages of con sumption, and in fevers of every charac ter, the novelist declares his belief its ef ficacy, a belief drawn from personal ob servation inaggrest variety of cases - The paper issaltogether a curious one. it is a remnarkablesfact that one of the prominent 'literary men of this country, also, is a convert to hydropathy-we mean -the poet Longfellow, who is now at Brat~ tieboro, Vt., where there is an institution devoted to this system. The Water Cure general rule, however, its proselytes, so far, are among people of a speculative or imaginative, cast. That many persons who have followed its precepts have been materially benefitted, cannot be gainsay ed, but whether it has the mirac'ulous ef ficacy that its friends assert, is still a ques tion admitting of much doubt. For our selves, we do not feel competent to decide such a matter. Homepathy, hydropathy, and allopathy tre alike foreign to our vo cation; let the one rise or the other fall, the editor's equanimity will be undisturb ed; as Sancho Panza profoundly re marks, "we neither lose not win, and so our name be but in print, and go about the world from hand to hand, we care not a fig, let people say of them whatever they list." Camden Rail Road.-We are happy to hear that the prospect are very encour aging for filling up the subscriptions to the Camden Rail Road. There is no doubt of the complet ion of the Road, so necessa ry for perfecting that scheme of internal improvement, by Rail Road communica tion, of which the Camden Road is a ne cessary part, We hope that no local jea lousies will interpose to prevent that as sociation of capital and enterprise so desi rable for this public %ork.-Evening Post, Further Antartic Discoveries.-It is said that further aiscoveries have been made in the Southern polar regions by the barque Pagoda. under the command of Lieut. Moor of the British Navy. This vessel was hired by the British government for this expedition, and for the purpose of completing the series of magnetic obser vations left unfinished by the ships Terror and Erebus. She retured to Simond's Bay, after an absence of 140 days, having proceeded farther South than any vessel which has preceded her having accom plished the special object of the voyage, and having brought home many species of birds and fishes niot before known. She found the Aurora so brilliant, that small print was distinctly legible by the light of it. This vessel was at times surrouned by icebergs higher than the mast head. Not a. casuality occurred, nor was a man 9 n the voyge. . Smuggling Goods into Mexico.-The Mexican correspondent of the London Times declares, that -by making the Rio Grande the boundary between the United states and Mexico, the whole North of Mexico will be in the hands of American Smugglers. The New-Orleans Bulletin received about thie same time, with the paier containing this letter to the Times, has some speculations on the same sub ject. It predicts that American goods will be smuggled into Mexico to such an extent as entirely to break up the monop oly it says Great Britain now enjoys of the trade of that country, A few years since the Mexican silver was imported largely into New Orleans, now it printci pally goes to England in the British steamers. This will be reformed, it ex pects, through the smugglers. But the Bulletin bases its anticipations upon these facts: the extravagance ol the Mexican Tariff on imports, the proneness of the Mexicans to smuggling across the Rio Grande, which it says cannot be preven ted by an army of 50.000 men stationed on that stream. New Road to the Weet.-The Mont gomery (Al.) papers mention that the route through to that place, from Atlanta, the terminus of the Georgia Rail Road, through La Grange. West Point to Che haw, will bring passengers to that place twelve htours in advance of the regular mail, with only .136 miles of staging. Propositions are now being made to catrry the great mail over this route, ansd it is asserted that the mail can be delivered in Mobile 24 hours in advance of last wintter time. The river at Montgomery is a: such a height saito relieve any apprehen sion ef detention to travellers.- Charleston Courier. Santfee Canal. -We are gratificil to learn that this Canal, having lately un dergone thiorough repair, is nowv itt line boating order. The recent resoluti-on to exempt from'return toll all boats bi-inging down the products of thea forest and re turning empty, offers a strong induce mnent for an abunidant supply, of lumber and fire wood through that channel. Courier. The Poison Spreading-One hun dred and seventy Unitarian Ministers of Rhode Island and Massachusetts have published their jtrotest against American slavery. These meddlesome gentlemen, wvho seem to think that of the twro races, the black is nearer their hearts, being cotmpelled in the course of their protest to touch upon the argument that slavery was permitted under the Old Testatmentt dis pensation, evade it by the blaispliemous assertion, that during "ihis time of igno rance God winked at it." God, the fountain of all goodness, winking at crime! Truly it is becoming that those who seek to excite a servile war, should bolster-op their unhaltowed designis by blasphemous attacks opon the purity of the Most High. - Eve.ningt Post.

CALHOUN-THE SENATE. The organ of' the Administration at Washington is striking boldly for a reduc Lion of the tariff to the revenue standard and for a faitfuli execution of the resolu tions of the Baltimore Convention. We iwould cheer the Administration in this great labor. It is to be deplored that Mr. Calhoun is absent from the field of his fame whilst this high duty of redeeming patriatism is in progress. The ablest de fender of the principle of equal taxation, should be the warder in his post. "The slothful man saith there ts a lion without; I shall be slain in the streets." But no tions of this kind cannot inflence such a man as Calhoun. Selfish considerations wili not be ascribed to him for his return to the Senate ;. and, if ascribed, will not be cerdited. His love (if duty is too pure to be defiled by unworthy suspicions; and be too firm to regard them. His Virginia friends look to him in this struggle. --au to the sword of the Lord and of Gideon." If ever there was a period in the history of our Government which called for the bold and vigorous efforts of the patriot and statesman, that period is now. i1 there are those who, knowing the work to be done, yet stand back, when their own aid is inust essential to its accomplish ment, it is because they modestly ascribe to others the same capacity to be useful which they possess themselvis. But of this capacity the coutry has the best right to judge. and in every quarter thie people must choose their own servants, We have lately seen, with regret, the distin guished individual above referred to, qui etly go into the shades of retirement wihile the sun of bib fame yet in its meridian while every was yet turned upon him, and looking for more of the fruits of his matured judgment and long political ex perience. - With the enlightened views of the statesman and philo.ipher-wath the energies of his mighty intellect unimpair and all the physical vigor and elasticity which a good constitution and a life of the strictest temperance and most regular habits have secured to him, and in all probability will secure to him for years to come, we could not expect him to turn a deaf ear to a summons from his own Sta w d1 conded by the voice of the whole South, South Carolina cannot look more anxiously to Mr. Calhoun's return to the United States Senate than Virginia herself. Let hitn not remain away from the theatre of nis usefulness.- We do not mean to say that he would not be equally useful and dis tinguished in a higher place, if any higher there can be, for there too his great abili ties and devoted patriotism would find their appropriate sphere, and should the Democratic party run up his name at their niast-head, Virginia will give it her cordi al support. Mr. Calhoun has done much -.for his country- His public career has been as useful as it has been brilliant. But some thing more remains for him to do. Let him come to the Senate, and again stretch out his strong arm fbr the reduction of the tariff to the revenue standard. The pow - erful defender of Southern, rights should tbe at his post when danger threatens hen his aid is required and the good of his country calls him, Under such cir cumsiaaces he has never hesitated. The grateful praises of his countrymen will at least be his reward. But such a man al wayb finds a reward in the cobsciousness of the good he has done. If South Caro lina calls on him to go to the Senate, we hope lie will hearken to er call. It may tie at some sacrifice to his comfort gd ais pecuniary interests, but such a sacrifice he makes ini the service of his country wittaont a nmrmur. We would rejoice at Mr. Calhoun's election to the Senate, andtwould hail the event as higthly pro p itious to the best itnterests of the Repub lic.-Wiarrenton Flag. A bald eagle Ilew on board the U.

An intelligent citizen of Georgia. who has been examining the Southern portion of Florida, gives t-e. followihg. raphic picture of it. ip a letter written at l'ampa Bay on the 22d of July last.-Constitu tion. "The productions of this peninsula are by far the most valuable in the United Slates, not excepting Louisianna nor the New State of Texas. Its main staple will be 'agar, Sea Island cotton. Cuba tobacco, and oranges; and in all these, 'here is no other State in the Union that :an compete with it. The best lands Field (owing to the tropical character of :he chmate) at least twice as much sugar :o the acre as the best lands in Louisiana. la Louisiana one thousand pounds to the icre is a good average crop; in East Florida the average crop is two thousand ive hundred pounds, and as much as four housand pounds have been produced on ma acre! Sea Island cotton of the best guality grows in every portion of the pe iinsula, and the tobacco and oranges of Bast Florida have already become cele )rated for their superiority. Besides these nain staples, numerous other tropical pro.' luctions flourish here, which it would be edious to mention. " The ranges for cattle und hogs in this ieninsula are inexhaustable, and the whole :ountrv is already :beginning to swarm .ith both. Cows, I am informed, pro luce a calf here every year, and never 'Gqnire-to be red or housed winter or sum ner. The woods everywhere abound in leer and turkeys, and other game, and here is not probably in the world such a :ountry for fish Every lake, river, and :reek n thejiteiior, and the whole coast, _97 'with the fiIaest ish, andthlier'iscarcely, a point on the whole coast where the finest oysters and urtle cannot be found. Turtle is, indeed, ivithin reach every where; on the coast. he green turtle is inexhaustible, and the akes in the interior abound in soft shell urtle which is still more delicious. To ;ive you some idea of the abundance of ish in the waters of Florida, I shall state a fact which occurred here yesterday; fleven men were sent in a boat from this post to haul a seine at an island three niles distant. They brought home, after tbout fout hours' absence, 1,500 weight )f red f'sh and cavallos, (fish of the most iuperior quality) after having thrown out if the seine more than five times that luantity of sheep head, drum, and other Mxcellent fish, ivhich they had not the neans of transporting. This, although a fish story," is nevertheless true, and not u the least exagerated. - East Florida is well supplied with rood water, as might be icferred by ref -rence to its map, which present a regular listribution of numerous rivers and creeks. rhere is no new country in the Uuited States in which the roads.areso~godd and to numerous as ic East Florida. This is awing to the level character of the coun ry, the porous nature of the soil-and the mxtensive opetations of the..army. The teographical position of Florida, and the acilities of transporing its produce to all he best markets, are superior to those of ny other State in the Union. The most listaut point in the peninsula from navi ;ation (either by steamboat or keelboat) s nmot 40 tiles; and its proximity to the West Indies;' as well as to the best mar tets in the United States, gives it many dvantages."
