THE GAZETTE.!; By EDGAR SNOWDEN._'atronage of its friends, very generously says >y way of postcript—“ N. B. Jackson gold and ill other kinds of produce thankfully received.” Prittceton College, Xev-Jer$ey.—Th\s institu tion graduated 37 students at the last com mencement. In former times, Princeton was the nursery of our southern youth. Madison and Giles were among her alumni. W hen a student left the southern states, it was a matter of course that he would knock for admittance at the door of Nassau Hall. Those were the days of President Witherspoon, a man who i wrought a wonderful effect on the infant mind of the new world. This gentleman was a pious minister of Perth, in Scotland; and was indu ced by the strong persuasions ot Dr. Rush, then a student at Edinburgh, to accept of the Presi dency of Princeton College, to which he had been elected without his knowledge or consent. Fortunately the arguments of the young physi cian prevailed; and Witherspoon became a re sident of America. His subsequent career is generally known. He arrived before the Revo lution; and when the day of trial came, he maintained the rights of the Colonies. New Jersey delegated him to the Congress ol 76, and the Declaration of Independence bears his name. He was far from being a sleeping mem ber of that body; but engaged readily in dis cussion. We were led, some time since, to pe ruse his speech on the basis of representation. It is enough to say, that he handled that vexed j question of the old Congress with the ability of j a statesman. But his greatest delight consisted in preparing young men for public usefulness. We have said that he spoke well; and he was solicitous in imparting a proper conviction in this respect on the minds of his -disciples. We can never forget the generous animation with which the late Governor Giles descanted on his character. A few months before the death of the latter, the name of Witherspoon was men tioned indirectly in his presence; but he would not permit it to pass by unhonoured. He soon kindled with his theme, and paid a noble tribute to the preceptor of his youth. W e remember that he narrated, in a very, amusing manner, a piece of advice which Writherspoon usually gave to those of his pupils who displayed some degree of excellence in speaking; Gentle men,” said Witherspoon, do you take heed that you never rise, unless you have something to say, and always stop when you have done.” Witherspoon was succeeded by Smith, who educated many of the ablest men of the present day. It was in good taste that Gov. Iredell, in the conclusion of his eloquent address, pronoun ced a glowing etilogium on the memory of the fuide and guardian of his youth. Sergeant, outhard, Mercer, Berrien, and many others of equal celebrity were educated by Smith, and re vere his name. After the death of Smith, Princeton did not: maintain, for some time, the great reputation which Jonathan Edwards, Witherspoon and i Smith had conferred upon her; but her day of darkness has passed; and we rejoice that she is shining—more and more every hour, with that especial brightness which adorned the morning of her existence.—Norfolk Beacon. Literary Intelligence—Munificent Present-.— We are extremely glad to learn, that the liter ary institutions and public libraries of the Unit ed States are aboutip receive another valuable donation from a scientific and public spirited Englishman. The late Col. Mark Beaufoy, F. R. S. devoted a great part of his life to a series of nautical and hydraulic experiments. The whole of these have been printed by his son Henry Beaufoy, Esq. in three splendid royal quarto volumes, profusely illustrated with en gravings by the first artists. No copies of this splendid work are to be sold; but the whole edi tion will be distributed among such societies and individuals, as may feel ah interest in the subject of the work. Such a public spirited de termination as this on the part of the son ol Col. Mark Beaufoy, is deserving of the highesl praise, and justly entitles his name to be placed on the list of public benefactors. IVushington Mirror. Extraordinary Arrival—The young Chinese Lady.—It is with no ordinary emotions that we announce the safe arrival at this port yesterday, in the ship Washington, Capt. Obear, of the beautiful and accomplished, the long-looked for and anxiously expected Miss Julia Foo-chee ching-chang-king, daughter of llong-irang tzang-tzee-king, a distinguished citizen of the celestial empire, residing in the suburbs of Can ton. This is no Kingatura Spooner, bubble of editorial romancing, but a bona-fide flesh and blood importation of a living Chinese young la dv. We have gleaned some particulars of this interesting personage, which we doubt not will prove acceptable to our readers. We could not obtain the correct orthography of her Christian name, but we learn it corresponds to Julia, in English. In undertaking this astonishing enter prise, she is the first without doubt of her sex, as far as history teaches us, who has ever quit ted the sunny skies and perfumed zephyrs of the Indian ocean, to visit this rude barbarian clime of the new world. Yet has she not attained the tender age of eighteen; so that it was left for this^hivalrous, dauntless girl, and the no less bold and daring genius of one of our hardy na vigators to conceive and execute this yet untried and hazardous project. remaps u was ner niwu iuve umi muui-cu uu, for a valuable pecuniary consideration to her pa rents, to violate a fundamental law ofthe empire, and to consent to be smuggled out of her father’s pagoda on board an American ship, and thus alone and unprotected by kindred or country men, to bid adieu to her native ornnge groves, and visit seas and lands in this distant and re mote quarter of the globe. She was ready to risque her life, and hazard the chance of never moreseeingher own home.from the pure love she bore her father; nor would she shrink from an undertaking prompted by so noble an impulse. The undertaking so novel, and invested with such peculiar circumstances, must awaken the most thrilling feelings and strongest desire to make her exile as happy as it is possible to ren der it. We learn she was delighted beyond measure with the scenery of our enchanting bay. We also gather, that though very small and delicate in figure, she possesses allthecharn i of person and complexion that belong to the damsels of her brunette race. Her feet are of equisite beauty and diminutiveness, not exceed ing three inches in length. It is also averred that she is naturally of a most gay and spright ly disposition. Indeed, one on board who saw much of her, says he thinks her a perfect little vixen. If so, it must have been her natural fire and vivacity, rather than patient submission to her destiny, that has buoyed up her spirits, and screwed her courage to the resolution of so bold a voyage.—N. Y. Star. LABORERS WANTED, TO work by day and night, (at stated inter vals or watches) on the Coffer Dam of the Aqueduct of the Alexandria Canal, opposite Georgetown. Liberal wages will be allowed, and promptly paid. Immediate application to be made at the works to WM. TURNBULL, or) Engi W. M. C. FAIRFAX, 5 neers. ALEXANDRIA: TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 21, 1S34. Correct Sentiments.—In the present unex tmpled state of public feeling, whilst the ele nenis of disorder have been suffered to be un oosed, and the country is disgraced by scenes )f violence, tumult and riot, it is the imperative iuty of the conductors of the public pr ess to ex ;rt the influence of that mighty engine of po-1 pular sentiment, in aid of the cause of order, law, and rational liberty. If in this crisis of our country’s Tate—for it is an eventful period in its history—they should fail in their duty in this re spect, heavy will be the responsibility they as sume, and grievously must they answer” the upbraidings of their consciences and the com plaints of their injured fellow-citizens. In view of what has occurred recently, we confess we are indeed grieved and astonished. The past is not to be remedied, however; but the future may be guarded against the recurrence of the like enormities. Let, then, the honest, intelli gent, and faithful conductors of the press, who have been appropiiately termed the sentinels upon the ramparts of Liberty’s citadel, resolve to discountenance the least deviation from the rules of social order or public harmony; and let them commence in good earnest the task of reforming and correcting the morals of the peo ple, so far as they are concerned in regulating the affairs of the country. On this head the Baltimore Chronicle has some sensible, judi cious and able remarks,—to bring which before our readers has been the main design of the few observations we have made: The press is admitted, on all hands, to be a powerful engine for good or for evil—the con ductors of it have, therefore, a great responsi bility, that of measurably giving tone to public feeling, and, to a certain extent, influencing public sentiment. It is a misfortune that editors do not always sufficiently estimate the impor tance and respectability of their vocation, but descend to the level of gladiators, fighting to elicit the applause of the unthinking and the vi cious, and securing for themselves the scorn and contempt of the moral and reflecting. To administer to the depraved appetite of the few, is to destroy the utility of the public press, and to convert what should be a blessing into a curse. The editor who so demeans himself is unworthy of patronage and ol notice anil with such we shall carefully abstain from holding a controversy. An editor who is continually endeavoring to inflame the public mind, and to excite to disor der and riot—who drags private individuals be fore the public to lacerate their feelings and to injure their reputations—who assumes to treat his political opponents as renagades and felons —is worse than an incendiary, and it is the du ty, as it is the interest of society, to cast him from its bosom. With such an advocate it is im possible that any party can prosper—for party attachments must be alienated, when the organ is unworthv and degraded. “In all our political controversies it should never be forgotten, that we are citizens of the same country—of the same town: that we have interests and associations which are to endure after the contest has been terminated—that dif ference ot sentiment does not imply dereliction of principle—and, above all, that He who com manded that we should “love our neighbour as ourself,” is to pass the final judgment upon our actions. Were these considerations more fre quently recurred to, a better spirit would pre vail, and our political disputes be conducted with that decorum and forbearance, so becom ing the citizens of a free country.” Dinner to Mr. Lf.igh.—A public dinner was given to Mr. Senator Leigii, by the citizens of Pe tersburg, Virginia, on Wednesday last. More than three hundred persons were present. Among the guests were Mr. Tyler of the Sen ate, Mr. Archer of the House of Representa tives, several Whig members of the last and the present General Assembly, and a large number of gentlemen from the adjoining coun ties. The Richmond Compiler observes: A dinner of three hundred gentlemen, is no small affair for a town of the size of Petersburg, and a State like the Old Dominion. There has not been so large an assemblage by half, upon any similar occasion in this city [Richmond] within the period of our recollection. Mr. Leigh delivered a long and animated speech, distinguished by that manly eloquence which has secured him so many admirers in this citv, and indeed wnerever ne is Known. Me adverted to the circumstances of his election to the Senate, and stated that the appointment had been entirely unsolicited by him, for the truth of which he appealed to gentlemen then present who had been members of the last General As sembly He spoke of the part he had acted at Washington, and of his inability, from the cir cumstances of his then situation, to render any effective service to the country. He exposed, in a masterly manner, the intrigues of the friends of the Vice President, there and here, showing up the black-hparted malignity and sel fish sinister designs, with which they had labor ed to defame his political reputation. He allu ded to the President in the respectful language due to the high office which he filled, and to the people who had elected him to it, denouncing at the same time the odious tyranny of his meas ures, and making plain ‘to the meanest capaci ty,’ the violent and .alarming character of his disastrous administration. He spoke of Van Boren, as a person w ho had said it was glory ?nough for him to have served under such a man’ (as General Jackson,) and denounced the mean slavish spirit of that debasing sentiment, and the man who could utter it, rove the fruitful source of increasing political food.” Pennsylvania.—In the 3d district a put,|;t meeting of Colonel Watmough’s friends has been held, and they have determined to contey the election of Mr. Ash. The Philadelphia I.-, telligencer says: Mr. Watmough had nearly a thousand mor* votes than on any previous election; yet majority is given to his opponent. Upwards 0r 10,000 votes are reported as having been po|u for the single representative of that Distr,. while only 9000 were polled for the two mem' bers in the city. In the Third Ward, -Norther Liberties, neurly 100 illegal votes have alrea1* been dicovered. When the whole election subjected to a judicial scrutiny, facts will t*je veloped that will startle the community.” Southern Literary Messenger.—We have re. ceived the 2d number of Mr. White’s Southern Literary Messenger, published in Richmond. This work has been commenced with the good wishes of the whole Southern country enlisted in its* favor, and we heartily join in the genera, desire for its encouragement and success. The number before us is a beautiful speci. men of typography, fully equal in its mechani eal execution to the neatest works issued fruai the Northern press. Its contents are varied, and for the most part interesting and instructive. It contains, amongst other articles, a letter from Mr. Wirt to a Law Student—a scientific commu nication from P. A. Browne, Esq., of Philadel phia—Poetry from Mrs. Sigourney, Ac. Ac. We are glad to believe that the enterprising and excellent proprietor of the Southern Lite rary Messenger has every reason to congratu late himself upon the establishment of a perio dical journal, which bids fair to be inferior to none other in the United States. We shad mark his successful progress, and hope to bar* frequent occasion to recommend, as we do no», the Literary Messenger to the favor of an intel ligent comnfunity. Washington Mirror.—The first number of the Washington Mirror, edited by Mr. Thomp son and published weekly in Washington, ha* been issued from the press of Mr. Dunn in that city. Having published the prospectus of this paper, our readers are generally acquainted with its design. Mr. Thompson will bring to the performance of his duties much informa tion and industry, and we wish him every «uc oess in his undertaking. The first number of the Mirror contains many interesting article*. Extract of a letter from a highly respectdlt and intelligent gentleman in Tennessse tuhit friend in this place I have seen in the Alexandria Gazette, and other prints, statements which would lend to the conclusion that the State of Tennessee wi for Van Buren. This is entirely a mistake Van Buren is in bad odour in this State. Judge White would receive an immense majority of the votes of the State for President. McLen would also have a respectable support; hut. it ly upon it, Van Buren is far from popular. Ten nessee is attached to Jackson. It would bo strange if she was not.

We veri believe that the leaders of the party rejoice in the knowledge that the Bank is any thing but powerful in the election.

He sketched, in a masterly w ay, the dvkand plooinv ages of ignorance and creduhfTw hich Preceded 0*e development of its principles—and the obvious and beneficial effect, which such de velopment must naturally produce on the human mind as well in expanding and strengthening its faculties as in giving it that degree ol eleva tion ami sublimity of thought which can rest alone in the Supreme Creator of the Universe. Having dwelled, for a considerable length of time on these general observations, he called the attention ol his class to the science of Che mistry which, l understand, comes first in the order of his lectures. The manner in which he spoke of this interesting science was remarka bly felicitous, and gave the highest possible sa tisfaction; unless, perhaps, I misunderstood the sparkling eyes, and lovely smiles of an unusual ly large number of the fair sex. who honored, with their presence the lecture room—beautiful before, but then a perfect Paradise. Considering Mr. Hallowel’s lectures to be a source of public benefit, as well as intellectual delight, I ask your permission, thus to notice them through the columns ot your excellent paper. A. Gratified Hearer. Alexandria, Oct. 20, 1831. The latest Snake Story.—David Springstein,of Newtow n, L. l .we who believe has for some time enjoyed the reputation of an eminent Snake eat er, indulged in that luxury during the recent races to a fatal extent. He undertook, it seems, to swallow a large black snake, for his own gra tification and that of certain amateurs wiio col lected to see the exploit; and having bitten off and spit out the head—which portion of the ser pent it seem he is not fond of—he actually swal lowed several mouthfuls of the body. But, being unwilling to “go the whole animal,” he stopped short in his meal, and either from having eaten too much or too little, it made him sick, and in a few hours he died.—X. V. Star. The Gamblers, it would seem, are growing a> unpopular as the fanatics and abolitionists of the Atlantic States. .Norfolk and Richmond, Va.. have been cleansed of them, at least for a time; and the citizens of Jacksonville, Illinois, it appears, are not disposed to suffer their depre dations upon society. At the Fall Races, a week or two ago, at that place, a large number .of blacklegs were present, and had a booth erected near the track, for the purpose ol car rying on their operations. Several members of the association however, on the first day of the race*, after giving a warning which was disre garded. repaired to the booth, and, assisted by the citizens, entirely demolished it, and dispers ed its occupants. Two of the fellows were af terwards taken up for attempting to pass a coun terfeit hundred dollar note. The magistrate bound them to api>ear at the next circuit court, under a recognizance of five hundred dollars. Missouri Repuh. NOTICE. AO.

In London, on the 2d September, in the 79th year of his age, Mr. Telford, the celebrated en gineer. The immediate cause of his death was the repetition of severe bilious attacks, to which he had some years been subject. He was a na tive of Langholm, in Dumfriesshire, which he left at an early age. His gradual rise from the stonemasons’ and builders’ yard to the top of his profession in his own country, or, we believe we may say in the world, is to be ascribed not more to his genius, his consummate ability and persevering industry, than to his plain, honest, straightforwiffd dealing, and the integrity and candour which marked his character through out life.

ARMFIELD. H YGEIANISM. THE following testimonials of the auperiof efficacy of the HYGEIAN MEDICINES in the cure of our diseases, speak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical.— Bmown UinvaasiTT, Dec. 25, 1833. To Mr. Samuel Young. Agent for the Hygeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode Island. Sia—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of a cure, which, 1 think, I received from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps, I may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may be afflicted with a similar disease. A My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may be explicitly stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 1832,1 caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining my health; when, after about three weeks, in the course of the night, having returned the evening be fore in usual health. I found myself bleeding at the lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed. I spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very’ little ap petite, and withal, very weak A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check the progress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. But relxpse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill, and warn me of an approachkig dissolution. Thus, months after the first attack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I spat blood, one day. I continued to decline two months longer, when I obtained the Hygeian Medicines. I had now been unable to ait up a whole day, for four months and a half. My feet were cold and lifeless, sleep unsound, cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi nute, food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart, attendeerwith some cough, he. he. Such was my condition, when I first became acquainted with the Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a dose, and increased the dose dai ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten days, my appetite became good, and food produced no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly all disappeared I took the medicine sixty days regularly every night, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I took about four doses a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundred pills, when 1 found myself restored to health. After I commenced the Hygeian, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I was able to resume my studi -s in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease. Hitherto I have been convalescent; and it my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I have less pains, and am more free from temporary sickness; than at any time since my earliest recollec tion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVE. Dr H. Shkphkard Moat. Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sUter, after severe suffering, and employing a medical man three years, was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her -ss on one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers e If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few, doses of No, 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pilU for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in their use, she is now restored to health; and I have no objection to this case being made public for the yf others; and am, dear sir, yours truly, H. DYER. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834. In justice to Dr. he* med’ctl tflv,s€r* when he heard her improvement in health, he recommended peraeverence in the use of he medicines. This vsluable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pl -asant and benign in it-operation, and at the aame time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustom; d habits. These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use of them has already verified its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weak, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, because they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, CUil ITV.IIC SO, IAV« The VegeUble Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout the day, mixed in half a wine glass of water. The genuine Medicines can be had of WM.

This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and ha«# for many years past, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used. I The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth powders in common use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre ventive of the Tooth Ache. 1 he Dentrifice removes discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white ness of the enamel. As its application braces and strengthens the Gum«, it secures to them their healthy and florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural sweetness of the breath.
