I was taken with a very violent cold. last November, which became seated on my lungs, and gave me a very severe cough, so that I was able to sleep very little of a night.

I applied for medical aid to three or four physicians, but none were of any avail. I continued so for about four months, when I met Mr. Hail, one of the owners of the American Oil, in Burksville, Ky. I purchased a bottle of it from him, and after using it about ten days or two weeks I found myself entirely relieved from the effects of the cough and cold'. I have been afflicted with an affection of the Bronchitis for about two years; had taken more or less medicine during the time from some of the most eminent physicians, but received no benefit until I used the American Oil.

I now feel entirely relieved from both complaints. There- have been other cures of different characters, which have come under my notice the Cramp Cholic, Rheumatism, which have been entirely relieved. I cheerfully recommend it to all those afflicted with the like disease. A. H.

To the Union and Washington Societies of H'usA-J Delivered September 2roth, lSfU, at the Jlnnual Commencement. BY SAMUEL W. CLACK, ESQ. Centlenten of the Washington and Union Societies: We are standing on the axis ofthe nineteenth century, and may turn our eyes, not without profit, fifty years over the past, and fifty yeais towards the future. This Century is the era of ages, and has been set down lor much account in the destiny ol the Everlasting.

Since creation dawned the like of it has not been shined upon by the sun. The morning light of the Patriarchial age, the luller brightness ol the I'fO pheticday, and the noon-day glory of the Time of Christ, are now compounded into one The world is beginning to believe that there is something in the idea, individual man, worth meditation and anxiety; and wheresoever the thought has been muttered, man was made for himself in the image and glory of his Maker, old tyrannies have begun to tremble dynasties that have so long made desolate the earth, have been dug down to their foundations and crumbled under the curse of God. Oppression is every day losing its power, and 'ere long, will be remembered amongst the dust and ashes of decay. Hopes bud and bloom in generous hearts, for millions that have lived on sorrow's bread; and the great day of universal education, universal freedom, universal abundance, and universal re- Gnement, flings tho shadow of its morning beauty along the sky. From the middle of this century man can take no step backward nor can he stand still, all the day idle, under the growing and glorious light of its sun.

High reaching thoughts of Divine destinies for the human race, cry out with young and earnest enthusiasm, this is the day-time of man's salvation. The world is going forward on the wings of the wind, and makes pinions for itself ofthe lightning. The evil principle of the olden time coaxes no one now to slumber when ail are up and doing. Science, physical and moral, all intelligence, improvement and progress are leading on to a great result for individual man. Societies, governments and communities, arc beginning to be shaped to the proper mould of God's intention.

Igno. rant and insolent distinctions have disgusted the in-tell igence of the age, and the great truth of revealed nature is daily confessed one brotherhood throughout the world, God our father, the earth our mother, in life and in death her bosom the place of our repose. Civilization cprcads itself every hour of every day, and in the providence of God, the spirit of aggrandizement and man's taste for treasures tint belong to others arc made its ministers. Turn we a little to the history of commerce and trade this last fifty years and what do we behold 1 The whole commercial connection of the world changed. The substitution of steam for natural but im- erfect means, has produced direct and positive communion of central, civilized, and Christian point wtth the uttermost ends of the earth.

London is familiar with Calcutta, and shakes hands imost daily with the dark and distant Indies. At the commencement of this century not a packet ship or steam vessel was to be found navigating an ocean, sea, bay, nor river of the habitable globe. 1 he application of steam power for tbe purpose? of navigation and locomotion, had, indeed, been uroa- lied both in the old world and the new, but both worlds regarded it as a mere chimera. Half ol the century is not yet exhausted and pack et ships ply as often as the sun rises, between all the ports ofthe old world and all the ports of the new, bearing lor burdens the people and products I the two hemispheres. The first steamsr descended the Ohio and Missis ippi in and now it is a task to count the num ber of them that float upon these mighty and majes tic rivers, and the elreams that bring them tribute.

On the morning of the 23d ol April, 1S3S, New York was startled by the arrival ol the first steam packet which had ever crossed the Atlantic. This was the Sirius, and she had left London on the 23th of the March previous, making the trip in 26 days. Good men's memories are precious and deserve to be drawn up bctirres from the deep sea. Her commander was Lt. Roberts, a gallant, accomplish cd, and enterprising officer of the British Navy, who altcrwards, in the spring ol 1S41, perished in the President.

On the afternoon ofthe day of the arrival of the Sirius, the astonishment ofthe morning was quick ened into amazement oy tne arrival ol the Great Western, which had saucd trom Bristol on the of April, completing her trip in 16 days. Within he last week the Canada has landed on the shores of this Continent, in days and 20 hours from Eu2 tana, tnd iter news uas inv ited by jcerabii frvm Halifax the same day over almost every State of the Union, fsr as the North is distant from the South and the East is distant from the West; months of perilous voyage have been reduced to weeks and weeks have been reduced lo days. And since the body of this manuscript was made up, the Pacific, a steamer shaped by American genius and moulded by the hands ol American mechanics, has reached the port ol New York Irom one of the ports of Englat.d a traction over ten days, having crossed the ocean loss time than it was ever done before except when the sea bird flew from shore to shore. The United States, Great Britain, France, Beliii- Din, Prussia, Austria, all Germany, and the North of Europe, are threading themselves with railroads like net-work. The world is tying itself altogether with a chain that goes round its body like the ring round Saturn.

But a link is wanting, and that here in Pennsvlva- nia, to enable this town of VVnshington, to travel by tea in power to every port in Europe, to the in terior of Russia, to Egypt, to the East Indies, to Chi na, to Atrica, California, Australia, and every isle ofthe ever rolling and sleepless sea. A railway across the Duchy of Holstcin, between Altona and Kiel, which is now traversed in three hours, enables a traveller to save often as many days, and sometimes as many weeks of dangerous voyage between the North Sea and the Baltic ports of Denmark, Sweden, Prussia and Russia. A projected railway from Alexandria in Egypt to Suez, across the Isihmus of Suez, saves the tedious circumnavigation of the Cape of Good Hope, and that which is now commenced across the Isthmus of Panama will bring San Francisco in California, as near to us as New Orleans was when she became a City of the Union. Thomas aghorn, under the order of Lord Ellenborough, inspected and reported upon the useful practicability of Steam-Packet communication between Engtand and India. In 1832, he traversed the whole route under the direction of Lord Gienelg, and in 1835, although he met with no substantial encouragement from the Board of Con trol, he clung to the great idea that so occupied his great and enterprising mind, and proceeded on his own resources to the lulhlment ol his purpose.

Hejourncyed to Egypt and bv his intelligence and manhood secured the confidence and favor of the Pasha, he organized the land transport across the desert, and his own private line of transit from Lon don by Marseilles and Suez to Bombay. This led to the establishment of a line of monthly steam pack ets in 1838, from London lo Bombay by Egypt and the Red Sea. Steam packets of 1,600 tons and 500 horse power began, in 1842, to run from Calcutta to Suez, touching at Madras and Ceylon, and now, owing to the invincible spirit of this one man, a new route to the East Indies, across Belgium and the German Continent by the ay of Trieste, has been traversed in 30 days. An Ambassador from the Kingdom of Ncpaul, a country rich and abundant, but hitherto almost un known, has recently appeared at the court of St James, and within a few days a Commissioner from the Sublime Porte, accredited lo our Government, and accompanied by a splendid retinue, stepped Irom a steam ship on to the American shore. These are a lew fragniental statistics that denote what the nineteenth century has done for itself for the purpose ol commerce, trade and intercourse I need not stop to mention that a little colony- planted by men women and children, on the barren rock of Plymouth, has stretched its wide dominion to the shores of Golden Sand on the Pacifia, taking in tnat lar.ou and ferine garden where rolls the Oregon." Let us not pass by that wonder of wonders, the Mignetic Telegraph.

It is already flying through out the world Irom England and America, enabling men of different continents to whisper in each oth ers ears; mountains interrupt not, and the sea even stays not its progress. It seems as if the Almighty had tempted man to try it, from some inscrutable benevolence of his own, when He put the question in the book of Job, "Canst though send lightnings that they may go and say unto thee, here we arc The element, that in its spleen, unfolded earth and Heaven, and glared on us but to blind us, and darted down, destroying the house on the hiil-top and the old oak where the herds had lied for shelter, has become as obedient to man's hand "as the horse that knows his rider." No more shall the poet sing of it, "So quick do onrjht things come to contusion." That Ellin Imp, Puck, in the ploy boasted that he could, by supernatural power, "put a gird round about the earth in forty minutes." We boast that man, by natural power, can so circle it in twen Great things hath this age accomplished and great er yet remain oenind. I say steam packet, because a steamer had already crossea me Atlantic, in the spring ol lslii. Ihe Savau null, an American steamship, sailed from Savannah to Liverpool ana tiieuee lo M.

AlTNETTS-1 ease Saiu.cUs sale by toeuill I kk i shall, the present editors of that paper, dated Stony Bar, North Branch, Middle Fork American River, California August 24ih, 1S50, in which he draws a dark and cheerless picture of the gold regions. We copy a paragraph from' lite letter lor the information ssch of our readers as may be athVcted with the gold fever:" By this visit I learned the fact, that there were coming in, about five hundred persons daily, by the overland route, and that emigration to this extent would continue to come in for at least the next forty day. Should this bo true, I know not what on earth they will do. They know not what do, and they have come to this country under the falsehoods and misrepresentations which have been and arc. daily sent to the States by speculators and hnvers.

And now that they are. here thoy see, when too late, ho cgregiously they have been mistaken. Hundreds who can dispose of their ttock, anJ thus realize enough money to take them home, are going and those who have been fortunate to bring enough moaey with them, are staying just long enough in the country to secure passage back. One year more, and all the exaggerated reports about the gold of California will cease to create excitement in the States. There is a fearful responsibility resting on the shoulders of many in this country, but they are of a class of speculates who care as little about the poor emigrant, when he is once here, as the hungry wolf does about the lamb.

Daily there are to be seen men in droves going from the valleys to the mountains, and from the moun-taiLs to the valleys, without even a hope of gaining 'enough of money to take them back to the States. The one feeling of being able at last to strike a rie.h deposite, and thus make a fortune, prevades every one, and keeps up the unceasing and never ending running from place to place. From a fact like this, it is generally supposed, it will go hard with the mi ners this winter. There is truth in the supposition, more truth than poetry. A Precocious Couple.

and make the earth's children ail fraternal. I Gektlemek We have teuched at the p4st of the century ind not altogether avoided something of the future. The great destiny of our country, who can tell it When Dr. Franklin was our Representative at the Court of Louis the XVI, during the war and before Independence was achieved, ho was asked by the King what would be the probable increase of popu lation in case the colonies. were successful.

He replied that he thought the population would double itseir every years. The first census was taken in 1790, and between lhat period and 1840, the population has doubled every 22i years. This period was one of comparative disadvantage, the eountry was young and unused to the set forms of govern ment, ncr infancy hadjust sprung from her struggle for existence through a bitter and unequal war again, she was involved in another with the same power, and with the Indian tribes had made a bloody conflict. The yellow fever, small-pox, and cholera, had all prevailed as epidemics, and the science of medicine was in few places far advanced, and ta others altogether unknown. Facilities for emigration both from our larger cities to the wilderness, and from foreign porta to our own were far from abundant indeed compared to what they now are and will be, they were almost as nothing.

Now make a calculation according to a ratio no higher than that we have had between 1790 and 1S40, and this nation, if it holds together, will number, when the sun goes down on the last day ofthe nineteenth century a hundred and sixty millions of people. Then, my friends, ia there not on you and me and all of us a deep responsibility The future is full of high interest and mighty destinies, and in its fate the American people have been ordained, as I be lieve, for an active and conspicuous part. The wide world is to be brought under the iulluencc of civilized Christian education. The song of joy and the voice of prayer are to rise ia Asia from the loot of the Himelah Mountains, and all Egypt is lo lose the blackness of its darkness and beam before the world in beauty ofthe light of the Son of God. The Osiris, who was worshipped as the son lhat had set, is to be dethroned in many hearts by the San that has arisen.

From a world, at the time of Exodus, unknown, the people ofGod are to recross the Red Sea and reecho h'S name on the banks of the Nile. And marvel not that I am of the belief that every nation on the face of tho earth will jet speak the language we speak and breathe the free spirit of our Institutions, and haply may be, all people under the whole Heaven will some lime assemble on their birth-day of freedom under our flag and stars. There is no reason that tyranny should last far aye, and that oppression should be immortal. The backbone of despotism has been broken already and can be broke again, and iron heels, under which the necks of the weak have writhed in anguish, have many a time been overturned and crushed. When I try to look into the future my eye-sight is pained with the intensity of the unfolded Canaan before us, and th brain becomes dizzy, in dreaming even, of the wonders this age is destined to bring forth.

This honored Institution with which yon are connected, and that other, its fair and noble sister, hard by, are elements of no mean unportanue in making up the being and consistency of the next fifty years. That they will be elements of good and not of evil, the past and the present give us delightful promise. Prosperity, in all their ways, to them both, and that other great eloment the Common School System bf the country. Encourage it and bless it al- ways, tor it is a noble oily in a noble enterpris Let us ail, iHtrr-ofi accord, say it again, God btess the Common Schools. For they are to the wintry condition of the world what the sunshine of spring the rain of Heaven and the distilled dews ofthe night are to tne earth in her struggle lo bring forth through the ribsjof frost, Ihe bud the leaf and the flower.

You aad my friends, are here not to stand still but logo forward, not look downward but to look epward. A mad philosopher of physical nature in Egypt, long ago, had a theory, which, if it were not true was at least lovely. He said, that when light ning struck a conductor the fluid passed down the rod into the ground, but that the spark flew back again to the sky. Our anind is an emanation from oil high where the light is born, and should look no where but to its home. The body is of the earth earthly, and let it if it will, grovel in the ground to which it belongs, but Olt do not bury the immortal part of you, it is not fit food for worms.

Let us be ambitious, for a just ambition, justly used, is a good thing. AH ambition unjustly em ployed the ambition of tricks, whether it is the ambition 01 wealth or power, carries wtth it its own curse, ine reienticss ana bloody uichard, who had the merit of being a brave man'and nn more, fooled even himself into the blind belief lhat he was not self-cursed. His human nature returning for a little towards him he bewailed that no creature loved him living and there was none to pity him when dead. But he drove it all away and the evil genius ministered to Mm the miserable consolation, they can but say I had (he crown, I was not fool as well as villain." What a do.ight to tarn from men like this to him that is the father of our country. On the truth in all things his eye was constantly fixed, for he loved it for its own sake.

Its temple, with all its windows lighted, never faded from his view. As a minister qf civil affairs in time of peace, he was guided by the pillar of its cloud by day and the pillar or its fire by night. In the heat of battle, when danger thundered thickj.iround him, he never turned from the flag of his country but saw beyond it and over it the alar that beamed on Bethlehem, flaming in the forehead of the morning sky. And here I might mention an incident that in its conclusion would seem to illustrate the bright close of his career. It was told tome by aa old hunter whose home was in the mountains.

He said he bad started, as was often his custom, towards the summit ofthe Allegheny, by one ot the wild paths where few men traveled. When part of the way up he paused for a little to rest, and saw near him a viper basking ia the sunshine on a rock. Presently an eagle dartiag down seized the reptile and flew, screaming, upwards towards his nest. hen almost at the top be seemed to nave relaxed his hold, for the viper fastened its fangs oa bis heart. It was freed and fell headlong to its destruction.

Not so the eagle. But with slow and measured wing he descended with dignity lo his death, an' as he approached the foot in the veryjarticle of dissolution he threw- himself upon his back and died with hia eye resting on the son. The sua at he shines on the mountain the God ideal or an eagle. He, the eagle of hta tribe, died with bis eye resting on the Creator ofthe tun the God real or his HOPE. V.

This College bearouii name and will not nor cannot dishonor it. Yot who have been kind enough to ank me to speak to you have adopted an appropriate and expressive conjunction of names most fitly set together in this year of tumult aad trouble. Washington and Union, beautiful and thrilling association "lovely and pleasant were they in their lives, and in hit death they were not divided." The flag that floated over him was the flag of the Union and is so still to tear it to pieces, and I speak it not profanely, would have no parallel of atrocity on the earth since the parting of Christ's raiment. It is said, that the knave who fired the Ephesian Dome outlived ia fame tbe fool that built it. There be many, and oh, how sad to say it, in our own day who desire to build up for themselves an immortality ofshame lighted by the conflagration of their country.

The fiig of the Union is integral and the interest man in the country is the whole of it. It is an estate of which there can be no partition amongst the heirs, and it must be sold, if touched at all, tir distribution. Within these walls and in view of his eye, as il now glitters from his picture, there is-no Judas to seek a purchaser and negotiate the sale. No, for us, and oar children1 children after as, it shall be the unsullied heaven-blessed standard of victory in war, and tne banner of good-will, fraternity and love when the day of everlasting peace shall dwn. i.
