Who on the road talked pretty things—
Who bound my heart with silken strings-

To cherish—love—protect—defend,

The Value or Money.—In an article on
money matters, the North Ameiican Review
ipeaks ol an anticipated decline in the value
ol money, and thinks it hut the exercise of or-
dinary caution to assume that "the annual
gopply of the precious metals will not fall he-
low a hundred millions ol dollars lor many
years, and that in a quarter of a century this
supply will depreciate money to one-half or
one-third fts present value." The Commer-
cial Gazette commenting upon this remark,
i of the opinion, that the operation will be
very gradual, and must continue for many
years. A decline !n the value of money will
increase the wages, and the price of agricul-
tural and manufacturing products, as well as
real estate. In this general and gradual
change there will be no revulsion to produce
a general distress.—Richmond Republican
20lh ult.
Ma. Webster and Mk. Adams.—It ap-
Cears from a statement in the New York Tri-
uae. made by Peter Briggs, Esq , of Tren-
ton. that Mr. Webster had determined to leave
President Tyler's cabinet on the resignation
of the other members, but at the earnest so-
licitation ol Johu Qoincy Adams he consented
to remain in it till after the negotiation of the
Aah burton treaty.
-
The New York Tribune is starting a siih-
«cription for the slaves released by Jndj;e
Paine's decision. Since the Letnoris have
been squeezed out of the value of their slaves,
and are to he remunerated therefor, it hopes
to receive a lew hundreds o educate those
who have been released, and are now to be
provided lor. The Lemon-u\A troubles the
Tribune and some others mightily.
' Agriculture at the South.—A meeting
sill be held at Montgomery, Ala., on the first
Afonday in May next, to organize an Agrkíül-
toral Association ol the slaveholding States,
under such provisions as to them may appear
best calculated to fulfill the porp- ses of their
organization, which shall hold its meetings in
succession, in all the slaveholding States that
may participate in the association.
Arkansas Legislature Elections.—Hon
Win. K- Sebastian luis been re-elected, by
the Cteherar Assetrtbfy, Ya^ftrürS^WtsHww.
forwx years from the 4th March next, when
hia present term will expire.
Magnanimity and Justice.—At an assem-
blage of the Democrats ol New York, at Tam.
mony Hall, for the purpose of celebrating their
recent victory, one of the speakers, General
Wallbridge, a member elect to Congress,
held the following language in reference to
Scutt:
Gentlemen, as I have stated, in our exulta-
tion let us be magnanimous; and I believe I
but express the sentiments of the Democracy
of the city and county of New York, and of the
whole country, when I declare it will afford
them the highest pleasure, to have our own
gallant and patriotic President express our
•snse of the br.lliant military achievements of
Gen. Wiufifld Scott, by recommending the
passage of a law creating the office of lieuieu-
ant-General, the highest title recognized in
military distinction, that that honor and that
title be conlerred upon him who never foiled
at the head of the armies of the United States,
and whom we regard the great military chief-
tain of the age—General Winfield Scoti.
{Great and prolonged cheers, and cries of
"that's right, that's right.")

Texas Cotton for Europe.
An effort is being made in Texas to ship the
cotton of that State direct to Germany. A
ship is daily expected at Indianola from Bre-
men, which on its return to the latter port will

I «gents of the Gt traían line of packets in In-
dianola, Henry Range & Co,, are, we see,
prepared to make liberal advances on cotton
thus shipped by their vessels. Galveston has
already given the example of direct shipment
to the continent as well as to Liverpool, and sis
the cotton crop of Texas increases so rapidly,
and the direel trade between its ports and those
also increases from the large

' To him who has lived among the Ameri-
cans, and looked largely at the theory and
practice of their government and its executive,
there remains no possible doubt that the great-
est amount of personal security and freedom
has been produced from the least amount ol
personal security, and freedom has bren pro-
duced I rom the least amount of cost of an\
nálioii in the world. Culling its principles
and wisdom from the history of all empires, it
stands the nearest ol all earthly sjsh-ms to
perfection, because, it is built On and embodies
principles which God hath proclaimed in his
attribute .
" I notice that the American sets less value
on life than the European ; i at is. he. does
not think the loss of lile the greatest loss, tin'
ultimatum. When a mail di«*s. you see none
of that sentiment ( I use the best term I can
think ol ) which surrounds such an event in
other countries. The American is silent in
manner, embarrassingly so at first; extreméis
accurate in his observa ¡ion of human nature
and any man that cannot afford 10 be scrutini-
zed had better not come here. The Ameri-
can judges much by the eye, and has a most
eriViahle power of estimation; your tempera-
ment, speech, looks and acts are all taken in

ment. you will find a remarkable daguerreoiy p.
of your exact worth written iherou. They
are phrenologists and physiognomists, not
merely as philosophers, but as practical appli-
ers of these inductive sciences; and beneath a
show of positive laziness of larigour. there is an
amount of energy and action, mental and
physical, perfectly surprising. They are not
averse to the higher branches of science and
literature, hut they bend all to utility, are.

The Texan Frontier*
Army Movembnts &c.—At our latest
dates from Texas all was quiet throughout
the length and breadth ol its extensive frontier,
arid the measures adopted hy Gen. ."Smith to
insure tranquillity can hardly fail ol success.
SnN*i^manning bands of Com a itches may
slip through the chain of posts at times, but
J * ^mjtwv conse-
quence, and afírpie ptitii^fmitnil vvTTfSttm
certainly lollow the commission of any overt
act on the part ot* the savges.
As it may be interesting to many who have
Iriends in the army, and along the Texan froi.-
tier we will give a statement ot the composi-
tion of the forces and the positions at present
occupied by our troops:
Two companies of the 4th Artillery, under
Lieut. Whiting are at Brownsville; two com-
panies ol the 7th Infantry, under Major Paul,
at Ringgold barracks, opposite Camarg; two
companies of ihe 1st Infantry, under Capt.
Wallance, at Laredo, and two companies of
the same regiment, under Col. T. Morris, al
Eagle Pass. This constitutes the entire force
on the RioQrande but we may add that two
companies of the 1st Inlantry, under Capt.
Prince, are al the post at the head of the Nue-
ces to Red River. As an interior line, looking
towards the Rio Grande, eight companies ol
the Mounted Rifles, under Col. Loriug. are
kept continually scouting between that stream
and the Rio Frio, their pennauant posts being
at Fort luge, on the head of the Leona, and
Fort Eweil. on the Nueces. It should also be
staled that the troops at the different posts on
the Rio Grande, aud on the Las Moras, are
much ot the time engaged in scouring the
country, forming as it were a perfect net-
work. and rendering it next to impossible for
any other than small parlies of Indians to
move in any direction without being discover
ed.
On the northwestern and nnthern frontier
and high op in the country, we find four com-
panies of the 1st Infantry, under Col. Bainhri-
dge, at Fort Territt, a post, al the head of the
Lano; five companies of the 8th Infantry,
uuder Major Morrison, at Fort McKavett. at
the head of the San Saba, aud five companies

Thursday Evening. December 9. 1832 )
General Rrmarks.—Oar trade daring the week
has beeo quite active; parchases having been
made for the Trinity and Brazo rivers aad lor
the West.
Cotton.—We have one week later accounts
:'rom Liverpool via New Orleans. The date
are to the 20th alt. from Earope. reporting as be-
fore a dull market, and prices in favor of buyers.
This with the increased price of exchange and
freight has depressed the N. Orleans market as
will be seen by the q íotatioos oi last Friday,
which we give below. In our own market there
ha be¿n a corresponding decline, and strictly
middling may be quoted at P|c. The sales of
th week as near as we can learn are about 1400
bales the market closing this evening at lollow-
tng quotations:—

Exchange.— The rates are unchanged, but
there is much difficulty in making sales for mo
ney.
Freights have still an upward tendency—To

we understand that lc is ask-d for freight to Bos-
ion by the regular line, but hear of no engage-
ments ; though from the great scarcity of ship-
ping. that rate and even higher may be paid for
a few weeks.

in favor of buyers. It would be impossible to

Ntw Orleans. From numerous testimonials is
taken the subjoined certificate oí a well-known re-
spectable citizen, to the efficacy of my treatment:
New Orleans. O'^t. 6, 1852.
S. Reynolds, Esq.—Dear Sir: I beg to express
to you my thanks and grateful acknowledgments
lot" the great benefit I have received from your
treatment, and to announce that my two cancers
are perfectly eradicated, which has convinced me
that your medicine and treatment are superior to
any other practitioner's. I have endured extreme
agony for thirtv years previous to my acquaint-
ance with you, and had sought relief from Doct.
Gilbert in vain.
For six months Dr: Gilbert operated on me, and
in his treatment gave me a fire taste of purgatory,
but though he pronounced me cureu> the cancers
returned in a much worse form in a few months
alterwards. Despairing of relief, and meditating
the amputation of my arm, I was induced to ap-
ply to you. although I had no hope of receiving
relief, but only went as a last recourse. My
faith in Dr. Gilbert was such as to preclude a be-
lief that any one elsecouHl treat so virulent a case
as mine, but I find'that your treatment is mild and
effective. I thank a kind Providence tor directing
me to your office, and trust that vou may be the
means of alleviating numbers of the human fam-
ily now suffering from Cancerous Diseases, who
only require to know your address to be as I am
—cured by your medicire and treatment. Eigh-
teen months having elapsed since yon treated me,
I am warranted in assuring: vou that I am per-
fectly cured. JOHN F. HOYT, Hatter,
