States, the Canadas,Texas, Mexico, and the west Indies, asany medicine that has ever been preparedfor the relief ofsuffering man. They havebeen introduced wherevcrit has been loomdpossible to carry them; and there are butfew towns that do not contain some re-markable 'vidonces of their good effects.The certificates thaa have been presentedAo the proprietor exceeds twenty thousandupwards et five hundred of which arefrom regular practising, physicians, whoare the most competent judges of the-merits.

Often have the cures performed by thismedicine been the subject of editorialcomment, in various newspapers and jour-nals; and it may with truth be asserted,that no medicine ofthe kind has ever re-ceived testimonials of greater value thanare attached to this.

They are in general use as a familymedicine and there are thousands offami-lies who declare they aro never satisfiedunless they have a supply always on hand.

They have no rival in curing and pre-venting Bilious Fevers, Fever and Ague,Dyspepsia, Ltver Complaints, Sick Head-ache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheu-matism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles,Cholic, Female's Obstructions, Heartburn,Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of theStomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrlicea,Flatulence, Habitual Costiveness, Loss ofAppetite, Blotched or Sallow Complex-son, and in cases of torpor of the bowels,where a cathartic or aperient is needed.They are exceedingly mild in their opera-tion, producing neither nausea, gripingnordebility.

Extract of a letter written by Dr. Fran.cis Bogart, of Providence, R. I. Dee. 17,1828 Peters' pills are an excellent ape-rient and cathartic medicine, those effectsLeing produced by the differences of thequantity taken, and and are decided l; su-perior to Lee's, Brandreth's or Morri-sm's Pills.

Extract from a letter by Dr Hopson oflAngor, Me. Jan. 9, 1839. They are apeculiarly mild, yet efficient purgativeminable, and produce little, of any grip-ing or nausea. 1 have prescribed themwith much success in sick headache andslight billions lever.

Extract of a letter by Dr Joseph WillialbS of Burlington, Vt. July 9, 1837.-1cordially recommend Peters' Pills as amildly effective,and in no case dangerous,family medicine. They are peculiarly in-costivenenss and all the usual diseases ofthe digestive organs.

Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye ofluebec, 1,.C., March 6, 1837. For bil•ions fevers, sick head-ache, torpidity of

Exiract of a letter from 1)1.. Gurney NOrleans, La., Oct. 9, 1837; I have receiv-ed much assistance in my practice; espe-cially in jaudice and yellow fever, fromthe US9 ofPeters' Pills. I presume that,on an average, 1 prescribe 100 boxes in amonth.

Extract ofa letter from Dr.Prichard ofHudson N. Y. June 3, 1835; I was awarethat Dr. Peters' was one of the best diemists in the U. States, and felt assured thathe would some day (from his intiu ateknowledge of the properties of herbs anddrugs) produce an efficient medicine, andI must acknowledge that his VegetablePills fully respond to my expectatio.►s.They are indeed a superior medicine, andreflect credit alike upon the Chemist, thePhysician, and Philosoper.

Extract ofa letter from Dr. Wains ofCininnati, Feb, 2, 1838; your Fills arethe mildest in their operations, and yetmost powerful in their eflecst, ofany thatI have. There action on the chyle, andhence on the impurities of the blood is evidently very surprising.

"ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY."

HUNTINGDON, PENNSYLVANIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1839.

made by both ships, but there are none soblind as those who can't, or wont read.At twenty minutes past I. commodoreBainbridge, being satisfied with the of-fing he had made, handed his royals, tri-ced up his mainsail, and tacked towardsthe enemy. Soon alter, both ships hadtheir heads to the southward and eastwardthe English being a mile to windward, onthe Constitution's quarter. The enemyhad now hauled down his ensign, thoughhe kepta jackftying4and commodore Bain-bridge, like himself alone, ordered a shotfired ahead of him, io induce him to showhis colors anew. This order settled thequavering, and at 2, P, M., a furious can-nonading took place, which can only bedescribed by those who listened to it.

As the enemy could make the most ofa light wind, he soon forged ahead of OldIronsides, but was foiled by the lattership's waring, which brought the two bel-ligerents head and head to the westward.In maaceuvering, the enemy steered free,and Old Ironsides luffed—the vessels gotwithin pistol shot, when the first repeatedthe same attempt—the ships waring to-gether— bringing their heads easterly, asat first.

The English frigate now tacked, to pre-serve the weather-gage, but missing staysshe was obliged to ware—a manoeuvrethat the Constitution had executed be-tore her, to prevent being raked, for herwheel had been shot away, and it wasdifficult to watch the vessel with the helmas closely as was desirable. Notwith-standing this advantage, the Constitutionwas the first in corning to the wind on theother tack; and an efficient raking firetold his Britanic majesty's frigate whenshe came about. Buth vessels now ran offfree with the wind on the quarter, theEnglish ship still to windward, when thelatter, having received much damage,made an attempt to close.

At fifty-five minutes pasttwo, the ene-my ran down upon the Constitution'squarter; but running her jib-boom afoulof the Constitution's mizzen-wigging, shesuffered severely, without beingable toKerr hr.'. niTrunca 11., .. ... ,

soonshot away, and in a few minutes, herforemast, with a thundering crash, cameby the board.

The Constitution now shot ahead, toavoid being raked, and in separating, thestump of the enemy's bowsprit swept theAmerican frigate's taffrail.

The two ships now brought the windabeam, again with their heads to the east-ward. The Constitution fore-reaching,in consequence of her surplus sail, wore,passed her antagonist I lulled up underhis quarter, pitched into him a ton or twouf cold ircn, and wore again. The Eng-lishman, hot being fond of those pillswhich were through not only by daylight,but which made the daylight pass throughhim, kept away. The Constitution, how-ever soon had him again; and for a shorttime, the vessels lay broadside—yard-armand yard-arm—while the surrounding at-mosphere was filled withrolling clouds

-of

sulphurous smoke, and the gentle billowsof the ocean blushed in blood.

THE THREE BATTLES,Second.—Running Down the Trades; or

the Cap!ure of the Java."Gun and guntogether meet,Fire and sword each other greet."The victorious frigate now departed

from Boston under a new commander--commodore William Bainbridge--andafter missing the Essex, captain Porter,and leavingthe Hornet, captain Lawrence,blockading a British sloop of war at St.Salvador, she ran clown the coast of Bra-zil, and when within ten leagues of theland, made two strange sail in shore andto windward. Captain Hull, coveredwith the palm of glory, had generouslylett the lucky frigate to Bainbridge, andit will be seen in dm sequel that he couldnot have left her in better hands.

The writer of this sketch was once theintimate friend, and a confidential officerof that illustrious man; and though timeand disease had at that period borne hea-vily upon his manly form, and tipped withsilver his raven locks, Bainbridge wasstill a noble specimen of the stern oldfire-eaters of the Tripolitan war, andpossessed a vivid recollection of the sceneswhich transpired

"When the Java lowered her lion flag,And victors crowned the free."

In a few moments, away went the miz-zetimast, with the banner of the haughtyBriton, leaving nothing but the yardlessmainmast standing—black with smokeand smeared with gore.

As the enemy's fire ceased, the Consti-tution hauled her tacks abroad, and lulledathwart her antagonist's bow ; passingout of the combat to windward, at fiveminutes past four, with her topsails,courses, spanker, and Jib set. In execu-ting this manceuvre, commodore Bain-bridge was under the impression that theenemy hid struck—the ensign which hadfloated front his main rigging being down,his ship a wreck, and his fire silenced.

The Constitution havingrepaired dama-ges, and secured her masts, perceiving anensign still floating on board the enemy,wore around, and stond directly acrossthe enemy's fore-foot. The English ves-sel anticipated the frigate's broadside bystriking. At this moment the enemy'smainmast went by the board, and the darkhull lay shattered and bleeding upon thewaters.

He was a man of sterling integrity, ofhaughty inirn, and of generous impulses.He possessed great courage, a lofty en•thusiasm, a quick temper, and a sharptongue. No man ever saw him twice whoforgot him; and no man ever knew himto be his enemy twice who did not wishbin, to forget hun. With an eagle eye,he i cad men like books, and, like a skil-ful critic, he laid those carefully upon theshelf who were not suited to the purposefor which they were sent forth.

As we said before, the Constitutionmade two sail to windward, one of whomcontinued to stand in, while the other,which was much the largest, altered hercourse in the direction of the Americanfrigate, which had tacked close to her.The day was beautiful, the sea smooth asan inland lake, and the wind a catspawfrom E. N. E. At 11, A. M., commodoreBainbridge, who sate in the mizzen top,glass in hand, being satisfied that thestrange sail was an enemy's frigate, tack-ed again to the southward and eastward,to draw her off the land, which was nearat hand. Thefrigate now set her royals,and boarded maintack to effect this object.At 12, M., the Constitution showed thestars and stripes, and shortly after, St.George's cross floated at the peak-halli-ards of the stranger,--Signals were now

A boat was sent on board the enemy,under the charge of Mr. Parker, the firstlieutenant. The prize proved to be theBritish frigate Java, of thirty-eight guns,captain Lambert, commander, bound tothe East Indies. She had on board lieu.tenant general Htslop and staff, severalsupernumerarysea officers, and a consid-erable number of men, intended for oth-er ships.

After removing the prisoners, and ly-ing by the Java two days, commodoreBrinbridge ordered her to be set on fire,and from theflaming week took his depar-ture for St. Salvador.

In this action, the Constitution had butnine killed, and twenty-five wounded--among the latter, were commodore Bain-bridge and lieutenant .Alwyn. The lastdied ofhis injuries shortly after the huzzaof victory had awakened the echoes of thedeep. Commodori iiinbrige Wet %voila.

ded in the 11;pwith a musket ball, early inthe action, and the shot that carried awaythe wheel of his vessel drove a copperbolt into his thigh, inflicting a severe anddangerous wound. He kept the deck,notwithstanding, until midnight. TheConstitution came out of this action scath-less, •with a few slight exceptions.

Not so with the Java. She lost hermasts—her hull was greatly injured—andher cumber of killed and wounded wasunusually large. According to commo-dore Bainbridge, there were sixty of theformer, and one hundred and one of thelatter. According to the British publish-ed accounts, there were but twenty-twoof the former, and one hundred and twoof the latter. Commodore Bainbride wasundoubtedly correct.

Many anecdotes of personal braveryhave been recorded as having occurredduring this conflict. Where all werebrave, no invidious distinctions need bemade. This action proved—as did thatof the Guerriere—that in naval gunnerythe Americans were superior to the world.And all this talk about weight of metal isall in my eye. If John Bull could nothit our vessels with a twenty-two poundshot? The difference in size between thetwo could not have exceeded two inchesin diameter. So much for weight of met-al and English naval flummery, to offsetthe effects ofAmerican navel gunnery.

Throughout this whole battle, cornmo•(lore Bainbridge manifested the greatestcoolness and courage, and atter thebloody deed was done, overwhelmed thedying Lambert and his officers with hiskindness. It may not be amiss to notehere a dream which commodore Bain-bridge had, the evening previous to the ac•tion, which lie related to the author a fewmonths before his death. Whether dreamsfortell events, or not, is nothing to my put -

pose I tell the tale as it was told to me,and the world may have it at the sameprice, namely, by giving their attention.

CommodoreBainbridge, as lie lay in hisbirth, dreamed three times in succession,during the night previous to the action,that ha 1..11 ”1-1.

counter, captured a British frigate, hav-ing red coats aboard—that her starboardgangway was shot away, and that the offi-cers in coming on board his vessel camedown the larboard ladder--that the fri-gate equalled him in size, and out-nuir-heeed him in crew—and that her mastswere all shot away—and that her com-mander was killed.

Commodore Bainbridge, haunted by thespirit-stirring spectacle, could not sleep—he arose from his pillow, and after pa-cing his little cabin for a sNart time, satedown to his writing desk, and wrote ailetter to Mrs. 8., in which he stated thefacts as dreamed by him, but stated thempositively, leaving the blanks for• theship's name, commander's name, force,and other minor things, unfilled. Thenext day, the Java was captured, and thecommodore merely filled up the blanks ofthe letter, and sent it to his %life as thefirst account of his victory.

A fter landing his prisoners at St. Salva-dor, and refitting ship, commodore Bain•bridge shaped his course for the UnitedStates, and on the 27th of February, 1813anchored in the harbor of Boston, andwas received at the long wharf by the Ci-ty Council, amid the shouts of the multi-tude, the thunder ofcannot', and the peal-ing of bells.

This was a finisher to all objections—-those people who knew the Americanswould be whipped in fair fight, knewmuch less ever afterwards. The lionhad been humbled again by the vine gal-lant little frigate, and another flag of bat-tle waved As smoke and blood-stainedfolds in the hall of Congress.

thoughts aright, she was even then drain-ing tie bitter cup of suffring and dissap-p&ntment to its very dregs. Doubtless,some unhappy love affair, with all its usu.al train of blasted hopes and crushed af-fections, was the cause of her thus sepa—-rating herself from the world's people.and connecting herself with the Societyof Shakers. Indeed we had an intimationthat [such was the fact. She had beenwith the Society only a year, and yet herhealth was evidently failing her very fast.Alas ! pour girl. A few short months and-thou wiltbe in the land of silence, andthee and thy sad tale of unrequited love,will both be alike forgotten. For theethere is no rest but ,in the grave.

smooth.Alas ! how many, since the line was ,written, have had mourful evidence of its.bitter truth.

The yonng lady referred to in the a-bove paragraph is well known to many inthis city. She is the only daughter ofwealthy and respectable parents, who re-side in one of the principal tows of Mid-dlesex county, and ,received most of herearly eduntion at one of the private fe-male seminaries in Boston..—About fouryears since she paida visit to some ofherold classmates in this city and vicinity,and the writer of these few lines remem-bers meeting her at a social party in thisneighborhood. She was just then bloom-ing into womanhood, with buoyant and,joyous spirits—intelligent far beyond heryears, and though 'beautiful, exceedingly,'yet withal so affable and lady-like, as atonce to win all hearts. To crown all,she was of a religious turn of mind, and,if I stn not misinformed, was thus earlyin life a member of the Unitarian Societyin her narive town. Although not enjoy-ing, at this time, a very robust state ofhealth, yet I little thought she had then.the seeds of a fatal disease withinor that consumption, 'slow but sure _ Lea111aI1,X.1 lit.

Highly gifted by nature, and surround-ed by all that makes life desirable, 1hoped and believed that she might lookforward with confidence to many happyyears in reserve for her. But this brightpicture was deceptive. Several membersof her family had, from time to time, fal-len victims to that dread malady, so preyalent in our New England climate, andto a nice observer, acquainted with thisfact, it was evident she too was in earlylife to fall a sacrifice to the same wastingdisease. 'Whom the sods love, dieyoung.'.

I had since then heard nothing of this.interesting lady, when early last spring..happening tobe in the vicinity of HarvardI was told, on enquiry, that she had un-hapily placed her affections on a profes-sional young gentleman in her neighbor-hood, who being under a previous, but toher unknown, engagement, could not re-ciprocate the attention, and that in a mo-ment of melancholy desperation, sick ofthe world and its vanities, she had with-drawn front the circle ofherrelatives andfriends, and united hlrself with the Soci-,ety •of Shakers.

The Corporal.During the American revolution, an of-ficer not habited in his military costume,was passing by where a small company ofsoldiers were at work, making some re-pairs upon a small redoubt. The com-mander of the little squad was giving or-ders relative to a stick of timber, whichthey were endeavoring to raise to the topof the works. The timber went up hard,and on this account the voice of the lit-tle great man, was often heard in his regu-lar vociferations of "Heave away ! There

she goes; Heave ho !" &c. The officerbefore spoken of, stopped his horse whenarrived at the place, and seeing the timbersometimes scarcely move, asked the com •inander why he did not take hold and ran.der a little aid. The latter appearedsomewhat astounded, tubing to the offi-cer with the pomp of an Emperor said,"Sir I am a Corporal." "You are notthough are you 1" said the officer, "I Wasnot aware of it."—And taking off his he:and bowing, "I ask your pardon, Va..Corporal." Upon this he dismountedfrom his elegant steed, flung the bridleover a post, and lifted till the sweat stoodin drops upon his forehead.—When thetimber was elevated to its proper station,turning to the man clothed in tr io at ,.thority.
