'But I shall owe you even more,' he added, 'for the happiness with which your promise has filled me, and I cheer fully accept yolr terms. Meantime, let me rise; and pay my respects to the lady in person-I am sure I am well enough.' Our hero, however, was compelled to keep his bed for two entire days, in con sequence of the fever, a period which appeared to him an age. We shall not attempt to describe his meeting with Ellen. Let us pass over the first few minutes of the interview. 'I have but one thing to regret,' he said at laist, in a low whisper, for Mr. end Mrs. Thorndike were at the other end of the apartment, 'and that is the loss of your miniature. I had it around my neck when I went into battle, and have not seen it since.' Ellen smiled archly, and drew it from her bosom. 'How did it reach your possession?' he said in surprise. And taking it in his hand, he added, 'what means this dent, so like the mark of a ball?, Tears gushed to Ellen's eyes, as she said 'Captain Washington who gave it to me, said that it lay over your heart, and that but for it, Tartleton's pistol shot would have killed you. Oh! Al bert, I sometimes thought, after I gave it to you, that I had done wrong, know ing that my parents would not approve of the act; but when I heard that it had saved your life, I saw in it the hand of Providence.' 'Yes! for it not only preserved me from death, but was the means of inter eating Washington in our favor, and thus bringing about this happy re-union,' said Albert, after a pause. We have no more to tell. On re covering from his wound, our hero re joiied his corps, with which he continu ed until the expulsion of the British from the Carolinas. After that happy event he was mar ried to Ellen, and with her spent a long life of felicity. Their descendants still preserve the battered miniature as an heir-loom. [rom The Washington Union.] The Chnoera-Higialy Important, if True. We publish the following article at the request of a medical friend. as possessing the greatest interest. TIhe wvriter, Dr. WV. * B. Hlerrick, in the editor- of Lhe N. WV. Medical and Surgical Journal, and worthy of tho confidence of the profession. We may mention, as elucidating the * arlIcle, that oronc is farmed in the air by dlecomnposition of its water, through distur bances of its electrical equilibrium. lts nature and composition are uncertain.

We give the fol lowing a place with great pleamsur-e, merely adding that the excitement cauased by the discovery has been hneightened by the success it has met with in cases wvhero almost every citizen has witnessed or experienced its effects in the premonitory syvmptomis of cholera. We may add, that the eminence of Drs. Herrick arnd Blaney in their profession, who uso it in their practice, and testify to the ciTets of this remedy. should at once command for this specific its general adopt on in eases of cholera, andl its thor ough testing by the profession in all local. ities affedcted. Editor of the Journal: Dear sir: In compliance with the re quest of my friend, Dr. J. Hl. Bird, I have made the following brief synopsis -of a letter from him, sent to me for pub. lcation in the North Western Medical and Surgical Journal, which, together with the few additional roemarks which I ord4tha th meber ofi emedical prdfssio an ourcitiensgenerally, ma aethe means of testing, and the beeftst bderiyed from what is sup. poedtobea newl~y discovered remedy Tefacts stated in the letter referred tabove, are briefly as fol lows: About six months since, Dr. Bird and mypslf were led into a conversation upon the oflets of atmospherie influences in ptod uetng epidemics, from reading an ar tlo from a Gormain chemist in one of u e .7iI widhlIt71soIted4 i esupo~the ISM ;0L11, J h Iti6 em101" ys a a in Oron e a u :nos's She, Tkng this statement 'W cohioxion with the fuct that "holera is generally preceded by influnzas as showp by, its listoryi we Iwere t the conclusion that both diseases might be "depended up. on the seane influence, modified indegree according tothe greater or less quantity of this delerterious agent presentit the at. mophere'at the time. 'T he next step in the investigation was to determine what agent would counter. act the influence. and destroy the delete ribus properties of ozonei. The accurate chemical knowledge of Dr. Bird enabled him to suggest at- once the well-known substance sulphur as pos sessing the property of acting upon at in such a manner as to neutrblize its influ ence. In searching for facts to support this conclusion, wias found that cholera had never prevailed in the vicinty of sulphur springs, or in situations where this sub. stance abounds; hence the conclusion, that sulphur might be, and probably was, the antidote for cholera. In one of our recent medical journals, an article appeared, describing the meth. od of tictecting.ozone in the atmosphere, thus supplying the means of determining whether or not it was present at the very time when cholera was beginning to make its appearance among us. Dr. Bird's experiments, as well as those mede subsequently by himselfand by Drs. Bird, Blaney, and myself from day to day, since that time, shows that oxone is pre. sent in our atmosphere, and that the a mount is in proportion to the severity of the disease from time to time. About a week, since, Dr. Bird deter mined to try-the effects of sulphur upon himselfand other., troubled, as nearly all have been more or less of late, with un easy sensations, slight pains, &c., in the digestive organs. The result was entire ly satisfactory; so m-uch so, that Dr. Bird came immediately to my office and re quested,me as a friend to test its efficacy in my practice, but to say nothing to oth. ers with regard to the ingredients used un til facts should justify its public announce. ment as a discovery. The beneficial effects resulting from its use in my practice was such as to con. vinco me at one of its utility in the class of cases described above. During the last few days Drs. Bird, Blaney, and myself have continued to use this apparently simply remedy,-to the ex. clusion of nearly all others, in all cases with choleric symptoms. The result has been wonderful. All the premonitory symptoms, such as pain, a sense of full ness, unnatural movements, slight diar rhea, &c., have uniformly yielded at once to a single dose of three to four grains of sulphur. In cases where either cramps, diarrhoa or vomiting have been present, and in fact where all these symptoms have exis ted in conjunction, the use of sulphur, above named doso every three or four hours, ens had the efTect to ameliorate the patient's condition at once; and when used in a fewv lieurs, to dissipate entirely choler ic symptoms. So far as its efficacy has been tested in the worst stages of1 collapse, most satis fac tory results have been obtained. In twvo or three cases of the kind the effect of the remedy has been to bring back pulse to the wrist, restore warmth to the surface, andI stop the profuse diarrhoma and vomi. timg. In truth, the results obtained, so far, have been such as to convince all of us, whio have administered it, and its efl'eccs t hat if any remedy deserres the appellation, this a specipec for cholera. It hitving been determined to makce this public statement, it is expected in return that no hasty conclusins will be0 made ci thter for or against whnat appears to he a propositiont to accomplish much by very simplo means. .Although the results, so far as obtained, in a short time and by a few individttals, seem to justify our conclusions, it is hoped that physicians will continue to dlependn on whlat they consider the most eflicient prac. lie., in hadr cases of' cholera, until they have tested the matter themselves, and formed their own conclusions; and also, that whatever may be the cothfidence of inudividutals in this or any other remedy, they will not depend upon their owvn judg. ment in any case, even of slight symp toms, whenever it is possible to consult thteir physician. It is suggested by Dr. Bird, that a corn. bmi~ation of' powde red charcoal, one part to four of sulphur, has seemed to make the remedy mere efficient. WV. B. HERRICK, Ed. N. WV. Med. and Suir.

DUPRE.-Death whose milghty hand spares not, has bereft us of this truly good man. On Monday morning, (18th inst.) at 10 o'lock, he breathed his last, after years of suffering the effects of his disease. To our readers and ourselves his is a heavy loss. His pen, ever active, furnished, through our columns instruction and amusement; his last papers, being in continuation of some remarks on'Novel Reading. To the Church and his flock to whom he was ever a careful shoep herd, his loss is irreparable. - A crowd of friends, each regretting his loss, followed his remains to that "bourne from which no trav eller returns," and many there are, who, al though not within the pale of his church, who deeply deplore his loss. Rev. N. GRAnAM delivered a brief but very impressive and sol emn address over his remains, which brought tears to the eyes of his auditory. It will be long ere we meet his like again, for in truth a good and worthy brother has been taken froni us. - "Blessed are they who die in the Lord." Col. Benton's Letter. There are some politicians who cannot pursue a consistent course through life, and who, like the cow which gave the good buck et of milk, must find an occasion to kick it over, and, in the decay of mental and physi cal faculties, realize the worst predictions of their political enemies. Mr. Van Buren took the initiative in realising this fact by springing on his Buffalo platform, and Col. Benton has followed suit in his letter to the people of Missouri, advocating the detestable wilmot proviso, both becoming panders to the tricks of their political opponents, both used 'like the cat to take the chesnuts out of the fire, and both finally discarded by all parties. The Legislature of Missouri directs Col. Beton, her Senator, to vote against the Wilmot provi so, and he, who~ thought life has advocated and carried out the doctrine to obey insti-ue tions or resign, now appeals to the people of his state against the instructions of its represen tatives, and endeavors to divide the people of Missouri on a question pregnant with danger to their rights, institutions and freedom,-to become the allies of old federalists, fanatics and abolitionists in their cursadeo against the rights and character of tbe South. One of the objects of Col. Benton is to attack Mr. CALnOUN in his uniform consistent and direct course connected with state rights, and the obvious and clear construction of the Consti tution, as to the power of Congress to inter fere and control thosu rights by sectional leg islation, lie will fail in this as ho has failed in every thing ho has attempted to achieve through life. With the abilities, copious and laborious industry, indefatigable energy and indomitable perservance of Col. Bienton through a long political life, it is a remarkable fact that lhe never possessed the entire confi dence of the party he acted with; lie never wvas popular with the Democracy of any sec tion of thme Union excepting in his own state, and, now finding himself behind thme age and in the decay of influence in Missouri, ho is making a tremendous effort to make Missouri believe in the very doctrines which he has assailed for the last thirty years. General JacKSON used to say that Col. fenton never recovered from the effects of tho bursting of Stockton's "big-gun" on board the Princeton steamer, near which guWn0l wvas standing at the time of the accident, imd, looking at his contradictory and most singular adoption of old federal principles in his letter, we are disposed to arrive at the same conclusion..--.. He claims the wilmot proviso as a Democrat. ic measure, the Whigs ldugh in their sleeves at giving that political character to a ineas uire which they eonly have adopted to assail the rights of the South. Col. Benton and the Northern states declare that Congress has a right to exclude slavery by Jaw in the ter ritories belonging to the Union. Insisting upon the possession of a right does not estab lish it,-even claiming that right by prece dence, does not make any thing in favor of its justice, the right must be positive, legal, constitutional and admitted; howv can that be so with the wilmot proviso, when the South unanimously deny the power of Con gress to prohibit slaveryby law in the terri tories? Here, then, is unquestionably a doubt ful power; why sh.ould it be used in legisla tion? Congress is required to pass lawvs es. tablishing governments in territories.
