Western people go their death on etiquette. Tou can't tell a man here that he lies without fighting. A few days ago a man was telliag two of his neighbours in my hearing a pretty large story. Says Stranger that's a whopper. Says he, lay there And in the twinkling of an eye I found myself in the ditch, a perfect quadruped, the worse for wear and tear.

Well, replied he, 'that lady is my wife, and if you don't apologise in two minutes, by the honor of a gentleman, 1 swear that these two pistols, which he held cocked in his hands, shall cure you of that disorder entirely. So don't fear, stranger So I knelt down and politely apologised. I admire this western country much but curse me if I can stand so much etiquette.it alwaya takes me Chicago Democrat.

Death k' Poison from a Dead Body. Some days since Dr. Miner of Ware. had occasion to make a post mortem examination on a child who died ly inflammation of the bowels. During the operation ho pricked his finger with a needle, and has since hoe suffering from abcesses in different parts of his system, occasioned by poisonous matter taken from the poiut of the needle.

Ilia situation is. critical. The mother of the Doctor, a ladv 63 vearsioi' age while washing some of the bandiige.s used by her sou, accidentally pricked her finger with a pin left in them, and in forty-eight hours the mnaaieu member exhibited signs of mortification, which noon extended up the arm and terminated in her death. Thomas Moore- 1 homaa Moore, the poet, is in the enjoyment of good health, physical and at his conacre at bloperton, takes hi; daily walk along tho ten ace which borders his pretty garden, and drives, as usual, each day in a small ponv carriage. He is not living in 'more than the retirement in vhich he has pass ed tho last oi" his life.

He keeps his press running constantly, employs two sets of bands, and has ordered from the States a steam press and apparatus for an extensive job office. Dr. Wall, of London, has patented a process for manufacturing steel and iron through the agen cy of electricity, which promises to cheapen immensely the cost of their production, and improve the quality of the metal. It has. been tested, it is said, at several of the leading, iron furnaces of Maryland, ana Virginia, with satisfactory results.

We have seen, in previous numbers, the origin of the power of ioonev, and something of tb consequence of that power but of these last we have by no means there seen alL Ia all social organisations, like those of all Europe, where birth distinction, among men, are recognized, and privileged dasee are legally instituted, the legislative, or whatever other Jaw making por mv cxit ba alway ra new iwch enactments a shall moat effectually aid in maintaining auch distinctions, and in keeping them before the public ere, for popular effect, no lees thn to giv th poaseesors of such privilege tbe fob practice! benefit of them, gainst other men. Not only, then, haa money been legialated into control of all labor, but in the same way it has been instituted the daily satis-fierer of criminJ justice, also.

So early aa when those privileged by birth held all the money, Wgal provisions begajj to be made for aatialying crime by the payment'of this, a for debta. Thia converted the crime of him who possessed cash into mere debt, to be discharged with money, while he who had not the mean of paying thus, must answer for his acta by bodily infliction. Since that day th world has progressed somewhat, in, many particulars, but! not in this one. There is now more of the money metals in the hand of roan-kind, and very many possess them who do not belong to any legally priviliged class but still, in this particular, namely, of crime and its punishment, we are yet unchanged. The English law books are everywhere filled with this curious dis tinction between the consequences of the acts of thoee who have money and those who have none and in this our own laws follow those of England verv closelv.

But. if the fact of the existence of such laws is itself curious, a certain discrimination that they very generally make is still more so, as showing in what absolute idolatry money is held. We refer, here, to the contrasted provisions for punishing sins against morals and those against money, itself, ii With earnest zeal we legislate against moral offences, and in the same law provide for their punishment, by fine, or imprison ment" the money first 1 Ofiences against morals, then, are every day cancelled by the payment of money and this done, our morals are legally restore to health while the poor, i who are without money, must pay, with their bodies, for distinction's sake. But let the offence be against moiieyv itnelf, and the case is changed. Let man fabricate a counterfeit piece of money, and his purse cannot satisfy, for that.

His fate, for so doing, is death, or long imprisoument. Money, theu, which, through the perpetuated fictions of the past, controls both the labor and the morals of the nations, is, through this agency, the cause of all the serious evils that, in this country, beset the social condition. We, the United States, have alt the religious and political rights that belong to civilized man and Europe is slowly, but surely, passing into the same state. Yet we have evils, and most grievous ones, in our social condition. Labor is unremittingly active, among us, and constantly producuig but still, though it does not now starve, amongst us.yet it accumulates, for itself, but a small jirt of what it earns, and but; very little in proportion to what capital accumulates out of those same earnings.

These evils exiet in Europe, with many aggravating circumstances, arising from political causes and numerous are the devices which have been conceived for their remedy. These have, from time to time, been imported into thia country, one after another, and their application tried here but ia neither hemisphere have they proved successful, nor, indeed; does it seem possiblo they can. They miss the true cause of the difficulty, and are therefore not likely to overcome it. In thie country, where our political rights are all in our possesion, or at our command, it is only by the mon ey despotism that we are oppressed and much of the severity of this we have escaped by artificial means by a species of fiction, devised to counteract that earlier fiction, which had imposed the money despotism upon us. Of property, in this country, there is no lack aud, although we have rigidly adhered to the intent that nothing but goldV 1 ii 1 11 1 1 1 1 j.

It imparts great additional power to labor as against capital,) here, which labor, but for this, would not but it i6, aud must continue to be, only of partial effect, even locally, in that way, while abroad, and aa regards direct intercourse with other countries, of course it is wholly inefficient, and positively unknown. The resort thus had for relief, and the reeult of tbe experiment thua tried, combine show that all the difficulty, in question, lie iu the scarcity of the money metak, as possessed by man in other words, that the present supply of these metals is not equal to the wants of the civilized world, for the purpose to which that world needs to apply them, in the development of resources, and of society. Thi brings us to consider, a we shall, in our next number, the effect which a supply of the money metak, equal in quantity, to the want of mankind, and which we have now, for the first time, a prospect of obtaining, will produce upon the civilized world. TO BI COWTIIUJED.

Geueral Follect, tbe New Caual Coniml-j loncrr. From tbe Keesville Old Settler. On our trip to Albany, near the commencement of the present session, one of the first acquaintances it waa our good fortune to make, was the gentle-ruan whose name heads this article. Mr. Follett, we should judge to be about 48 years of agedark hair and dark eyes.

His manner is unassuming, and hi address courteous and kind. No person can approach shim without feeling an instinctive respect for the man, or hear him converse, without becoming aware that he possesses great practical knowledge, integrity, and impartiality, which well adapts him to bis present egncial atauon. We learu incidentallyhat Gen. Follett is a native of Ontario! county-4s a practical printer, having served seven veare apprenticeship at. the business.

From 1825 to twenty years, he wa the editor and publisher of the Batavia Times, one of the ablest paper in Western New York. He has also seen "some service" in the field, having been raised th regular grades from the office of Sergeant to Brigadier General of the 6th. Brigade, N. Y. State Militia, He was also a Major in the Texan army, and was "in at the death" of the Mexican authority ia that country.

He was elected Canal Commissioner in the fall of 1849. In allotting the different sections of the Canals, the Board of Commissioners have assigned the eastern section to Mij. Follett. This includes the Erie Canal east of the Oneida Creek feeder, the Oneida Lake, the Black River and Champlain Canals. He takes the place of Nelson J.

Beach, one of the most popular Commissioners we ever had, but we predict for tbe present occupant an equal degree of popularity, acquired by his business habits, impartiality, and ready ear to hear prompt action to redress the just! complaints of all, however unpretending the applicant.

The curative qualities of Brandreth's Pills are not to Le estimated ly the cures they effect in the cholera, or uiallg nant dysentery; their value is in certainly eradicating the premonitory symptoms; the diarrhoea, which if stopped by laudanum, too often terminates in death, without the actual cholera having been as yet present) the weakness of the system from the effect of the diarrhoea, not having vital force in it sufficient to withstand the further debilitating ef; feet ol die sleepy drug. In fact, it would be only an exhibition of common sense If the medical faculty would try the average dose on a strong haatty man. I am of tlio opinion that it would be the last dose he Would take. How ever, we do kuovv that the general history of eases of chol era is this; "lie was afflicted with diarrhoea, on Thursday his complaint was supposed tote thoroughly cheeked; on Friday and Saturday he undewent considerable fatigue; on Saturday night he was attacked with -cholera, or ma lignant dysentery, and died at ten o'clock tbe next morn. Ing." This is tlie history with doctors, with divines, with civilians, and with Iayihen.

Diarrhoea checked, cholera or malignant dysentery sets in, and death closes the scene. And will nothing warn, will nothing Induce a correct prac tice? Hall die who have the diarrhoea checked, will no physician try the other plan, ana report the fact 1 Ifthey were universally successful in saving their patients with laudanum tbe opposing nature, tfac binding up diseases in )he body, inetead or tbe expelling one I mmy, if tbta treat me ii was sometimes successful in saving Ute, to say notjj. ing of the constitution broken, yet ac tlic cure wai about bad as the disease, 1 ehould think that the purgative plan might be tried. Surely medical mcriarc not afraid of the patient being too soon cured for their profit this will not comport with my idea of the general bighmindedness of the profession. No! it is" from ignorance and education Ui they are opposed to purgation with the Braiidreth Pills.

For purgation with the ordinary purgatives I know will not cure diarrhoea, but Brandreth's Pills will, and I an) wilh ing to submit litem to any. trial In (he public hospitals tha) may be desired, as I have often declared. But physlclan( at thete institutions cay, we will not use them sir, unlcal you will tell us of what they arc made i It is lor their vaby uable effects in curing disease, and tlieir special value iff cholera, that I wwh them to be usetj. is my reply. And i it of consequence that what compose the Brandreth Pill should be known It you send a prescription to an apoth ecary, you never have two apoUiecaries who make use of tlie tame quality of drugs, and in fact so much do drugs of the tame name differ in appearances, that it requires great experience to tell that they belong to the same family.

Brandreth's Pills are purely vegetable-, they are ten tiroes more powerful, weight for weight, than calomel i they are, in fact, the most economical medicine in the world for one pill, tlie cost of which is one cent, will purge some constitutions equal to an ounce of salts. They are tlie poor man's medicine." It is to him who has email pieans and who has a young family depending upon him ibr sup port, that their worth is evident. Those who can aflord to have a doctor, and be sick a month, can do so hut all cannot have this high privilege i children would wlnrve. Brandreth's Pills are tlie medicine for tlw jor mrtn, and for the sensible rich. But tlie simple, tiw itjuorant, the learned prejudiced uiati, who shall save Liiu, if.be iIiy attacked with a dangerous dUteaue 1 lla will die ibr (lie remedies of physicians are of no value in eases of clsoluu? danger, as all the friends of those who are gone know.

Let the truth be spoken sometimes. Yet, again it is said, ma; no purgatives, use no medicine which evacuates the bowels. And yet T. was purged, and griped be was all but in eouvuUious he took four Brandreth's Pills, and drank plentifully of barley water, aud he, recovered next day. Mr.

G. was sick, in the course of four months, several timet, with oil the a worst symptoms of incipient cholera, and each time be used nothing but Brandreth's Pills, and they cured him. I have known no ease of cholera prove fatal where Brandreth's Pills were used la the first stage-; and I challenge tbe whole medical profession to tell of a single fatal case, where these pills of healing powers were so used. I have administered them personally In several severe cases of malignant dysentery, and with, the happiest results, for I have not lost a single ease. No other medicine lias been used ia my own family during this summer.

We have partaken freely of ail the productions of the garden, No vegetable has been excluded from my table, and our health has never been better. It Is true, that several cafes of severe diarrhoea have taken place, but a few doses of pills have entirely eradicated tbe difficulty, and all other families throughout tbe United States eauld have en-oyed theniselvei as well as us, had they relied upon the Brandreth Fills. I have the strongest testimony of their beneficial effects in St. Louis, in Cincinnati, New Orleans and Lower Sandusky. My agent at the latter place was obliged to send an express to New York for Pills, and he states that he went to Sandusky City, to administer the pills, after die doctors bad left for other parts.

I have published what I deemed strong evidence of their great curative qualities. It remains with the public to say what weight it But that they remove the j.npuri-ties of the system, by their occasional use, which materially lessens the liability to an attack of diarrhoea, with constant flying pains in the bowels, the next symptom; dysentery, with constant seated pains, the next; and tbe malignant fonn is present when these pains become cramps. Now, these Brandreth Pills, used lo view of prevention-may save all the above trouble; ihcy remove the costive ness, and if pains in the bowels continue, you use emollient drinks, as gruel, barley water, ice. Should diarrhoea set In, yon stilt nse the pills once or twice a day, drinking the same kinds of beverage; and tbe same course js to be followed if the disease runs into dysentery, either before or after the pills have been taken; for ail that cati be claimed for the pills, is, that they will cure and generally prevent an attack; but if the poison of the malignant dysentery has been already received into tbe system, then all that we can do is to blunt Us powers for evil This we can do; aod I pledge njr word, it tbe pills ar s.ed with ordinary discretion tn any of these howl (nrr rr.iioi WEDNESDAY MORNING.

Th It. T.

W'a alluda to tha reweining portion of tha published statement. that Earl Obit declare that aa long as ny ptntutn of tha Canadian peopl ara deeirou of maintaining their connection with tha mother country, "they will be supported by tha whole pow-ar, tha blood and treasure of England." How could tha English government do other wie than declare herself in theae termsT It was wall known that Lord Elois bad eolicited and obtained from the people of Canada in all sections and of all shades of local politics, the strong" jtreswon of their fhenUip to the mother country and their hostility to annexation, all whichhad been duly represented by bini to the Home Government.

Yet with every new arrival from Kngland, there cune ail announcement some ruierhievous or illy -informed paper, that the Ministry had resolved give up Csii ads sa a bad job and let her go where aha pleased, even though she should fly lo the embrace of "the model Jlepub! 1 hee thinjr being of cuurao republished sn.i repeat' in Canada, served to strengthen the came of the An-iioaiionitn, aa those who had clung ti 'he nio'her country became ditrutfut and diajforled. In fact the lime had come when the llmne Government, in juatiie to every ninii, woman and chMd in Canada whether friend or foe to Annexation, wu, iu duty bound lo avow clenrly and distinctly the course it intended to punuc with reference to tiicin. Wi think England hi- at length done so. If not, alia baa ouly treated Canada aaalie treated her old American Colonies, whon by long repeated uri-kinduess and neglect, she lont the brightest jewel of her crown. However it maybe, we trust Canada ia not much longer to retusi a colony and an unwilling and disgraceful lt eudant of the mother country.

Whether he wouH best consult her dignity and bar true intereta by nuaexatiou to llie Statoe, or by assorting and niaintoining her Independence as a nation blesned in soil, climate and position beyond almost any other on earth, in a matter fur her people to determine for themselves. If. the information Ulcly put forth by the Toronto psera should prove cone the day ia probably at hand when they will be forced by the extraordinary circumstance in which they are placed, to take even-thing on one or tha other hazard. But it will be seen at onca, that Annexation can bring no risk oi hazard to them. Tha assertion of their national Independence toould.

Still, if their eao ia aa de-plorsbl aa they represent, and if they are "true man," they will try it and they will triumph too. Ceu. I'Ulow nl th Caunurgo Dltchca. We had supposed that tha sousclesa wattle about these unfortunate works, had ceaaed with tba political strife which engendered it. No person who knows anything of the diviaion of duties.

It an army, could aver, for a moment give a se rious thought to tha statement that a General of Piriaion had cam milted tha blander of constructing dsfsnnlve works, wrong aid foremost, for in the firtt place, tho duty of tuch an officer does not iuclad tH sopsrioUndenc of tb details of forti- 0eUoM at ail, that being tha proper business of the engiateers ea bis sts0. But, the North American Review, a purely literally publication, once of conaidonbla reputation, hiving icea it to reiterate the stupid charge agaioat Gen. Pillow, of constructing defensive works, at Camargo, with tho ditch inside, tha General addressed a letter to the Editor explaining the matter, and requeated it publication ia tha next number of the Review. Instead however, of acceding to thia very reasonable re quest, the Editor sent the letter to the itostoa Daily Advertiser, for publication, accompanied by a note containing tha most abuaiv roiaetatement con earning tba General and intended to cast ridicule upon that geotleman. A correspondent of tha Boston Pott, io some very proper strictures on this discourteous conduct of the Reviewer, says: Tha affair of tha 'Camargo ditches' mar be explained In a very few words.

In the central square at Camargo tha military horses were kept sfid Ctd; and th a fcakitu horse thieves, had stolen and carried off many horses of value. To atop these depredations, and aho to relieve tha troops from tha aligns and exposure of watohing and guarding the animala, General Patterson, tha chief in command there, and not Gen. Pillow, ingeniously coutrived thee ditches, and caused them to be excavated acre the atreeta leading into the square. They were never thought of a military works of defence againat the enemy's troop, bat only to prevent the pag of horses out of th square. Gen Patterson 'directed the earth faaya Gen.

Pillow! to be thrown outsido of the ditches, believing that a large bank of loose earth that aide would present a greater obstacle to a thief who might find hie way within the worka, and waa endeavoring to escape with hia Thia, one would suppose, ia plait) enough, and not liable to misrepresented. But what does thia fair minded and high minded editor aay of it? Tha bonor (he says) of contriving and executing those works a rampart a military fortification with a ditch insido -is due, not to Gen. Pillow, hut to Gen. Patterson. Again: It wa great rat-trap, to catch hor Arin: lt was tet only for horae thieves.

Agaiu: Not to keep horne thieve out, but to hold them in." Thoifh Gen. Pillow etatee so plainly, that the chief object waa to keep the horses in, and not the thieve in or out, yet thia fair minded editor affects to understand thievea, aud not horae, a th sole object of atten tion in the contrivance of these very nerfnl ditches, according to Gen. Ffllow'e reprteeotations. There ar unhappily a vast number of.

Correspondence of the New; York Sun, Cincinnati, Jan. 23, 1850. Since my last, nothing of any particular importance has occurred, save a slight abatement of the Small Pox. The disease, with all its fearful attributes, is still, however, laying its pestilential touch upon hundreds not only in this city, but in our flourishing sister cities, Covington and Newport, and the country for a considerable distance back of them, consigning many to their long homes, and permitting others to live branded for the remainder their lives with the well known marks of its terrible visitation. In by order of the City Council, large placards with the words "lie-ware, Small Pox in this are placed on the door of every dwelling in which exists a case of the malady, and a fine also of $10 imposed upon any person who Bhall remove one.

It is a singular, yet mournful sight, especially to a stranger, to pass through the streets of Covington and here and there behold these staring indications of the presence of the loathsome destroyer. Still nothing is done by the proper authorities to endeavor to bring about a speedy removal of the scourge. Daily do meet persons in the street, their faces presenting sickening index to the disease that tortures them. But in general such unfortunates are moneyless, and therefore unable to secure that aid and medical attention their situation demands, aud which those whose duty it is to attend to such matters fail afford. I sincerely hope to be able in my next to announce the total, disapearance of this most dreaded of all ills which "flesh is heir to," and draw a little brighter picture of affairs iu and about our Western metropolis.

Nobli Act of a Girl The Baltimore Clipper states that a few evenings since, just after dark, young female residing on the Railroad near SykesviTle, observed that the rain has caused a part of the embankment to give way, and entirelv cover up the Railroad track. Knowing that the train of care would pass along in a short time, she hastily and alone procured a light, and set to work to removte the obstruction- In a few minutes, however, ehe heard the train approaching at a fearful rate, and abandoning her human effort to clear the track, she took her station in the middle of the road, and by waving the light to and fro, succeeded in attracting the attention of the engineer. lo a few minutes more, had it not been for the great presence of mind, courage and thoughtfulaesa of this young girl, the whole train might have been dashed to pieces.
