DENSE’S
Chill and Fever Mixture.
O F nil the remedies ever discovered for the safe
certain and effectual cure of the Chill and Fe
ver, none have more merited and received the appro
bation of the public than
Dcihu^ Fever and Asne mixture.
It 1ms been in use for the lust twelve years, ai
the Proprietor has n >v**r known a single instance
where this Mixture has failed to cure the Chill and
Fever, where it has b’-en used according to the ad-
vie** and directions accompanying it. One bottle of
this Mixture is generally sufficient to cure two com-
inoi» case* of Chill and Fever. It is a source of
j*reat consolation to the Proprietor that he has been
»ble to place so valuable a medicine before the pub
lic at such u low price; for while others have been
"riling their Fills and Mixtures at the high price of
$1 5o per box or bottle, this Mixture lias been sell
ing at only $1 per bottle, being a large saving to the
purchaser besides the important consideration of pro
curing a belter medicine. The public are most pos
itively assured that there is no Mercury, Antimony,
Arsenic, or any othpr poisonous substances, in any
*h*pe or lorin whatever in this Mixture, but it is
composed entirely of simple but potent substances
etch of which is calculated to assist the others in
spelling diseases from the system.
The Proprietor will insert the following testimo
nials, which will prove to the satisfaction of every
reasonable mind that DENSE’S MIXTURE never
fails to cure the Chills when taken according to the
directions that accompany each bottle.
The undersigned citizens cheerfully bear testimo
ny to the efficacy of Dense’s Chill and Fever Mjx-
nwn ^ cases have been successfully treated
wtunn onr own personal knowledge, in which this
mixture was only used.

Monument to Mr, Madison.
Our readers will be pleased to learn from thr
subjoined statements by a Richmond contemporary
that 60me public spirited gentlemen of Virginia,
citizens of the native county of Mr. Madison, have
recently caused to be erected to his memory, a
monument, which, in its form and*proportion?,
seems so much in keeping with the simple dignity
of his character and the rural spot in which his re
mains have been laid:
“Since his death and burial in 1836 the Mortal
remains of Ex-President Madison have b*-ea quiet
ly reposing at Montpelier, in Orange county. * lo
cality distant some nine miles from Gordousviilr,
on the line of the Virginia Central raii;imd. Dur
ing all this time no mutual record with high sountr-
ing eulogy disclosed the place of Ins final rest, on
ly neighborhood tradition and heroic record serving
to point the way to it The neglect in attesting
his worth by some suitable monument attracted at
tention, and some few years since a number of
gentlemen of Orange county eet about the task of
procuring one. ; Having been procured, it was con
veyed to Montpelier on the 15th instant and placed
in position.”
Earthquake at St. Louis.
Last Thursday morning, about twenty minutes
past four o’clock, two severe shocks of an earth'
quake were experienced in the city of St. Louis
and neighborhood. The atmosphere in the even~
ing was peculiar. Up to 11 o’clock the night was
dear and bright, but shortly before midnight a kind
of haze prevailed, which in a short time, became
so thick as to obscure everything. The first shock
is universally admitted to have been the severest
felt in ihe Mississippi Valley since 1811. The
alarm was general on every side, windows were
raised, doors opengjl antf heads put ouL Plaster
fell from the ceilings, locked doors were unlocked
and thrown open, bricks knocked down, beds and
furniture displaced. The Missouri Hotel, mod
many buildings in the vicinity are said to have
rocked very nearly like a cradle.

our men did show them what they were made
of—for, after several hours’ hard fighting, the
rebles fled, and our fellows charged and cap-
ever. The shocks experienced apparatly came
from the south-west and travelled easterly. They
were felt at Mara meek, Kirkwood, Mauchester, and
other points in that direction, and also at Centrliaa,
111.
A large and brilliant meteor shot across the
heavens from south to north, between the first and
second shocks. It was seen by various persons
thirteen and twenty miles west of the city. A
very strange phenomena to be accounted for is, that
while the shock was in progress a darkness so pe
culiar should prevail, and that no sooner had the
shock been felt, than it quickly disappeared.

After this affair, ihe brigade recommended their
march, and coming across the scoundrels a
second time, gave them battle, dispersed them,
and captured four more guns When within
six miles of Cawnpore, they came across the
enemy a third time drawn up for battle, and
again fought them, but this was the hardest
fight of any they had hitherto engaged in. The
mutineers, however, fled, after a fierce encoun
ter, leaving us in possession of the field, and
fourteen guns; we cut the rebels uf> fearfully,
and might have done ftill greater execution if
we had and any cavalry that could be relied up r
on. After-the action was over, General Have
lock'disarmed and dismounted the. Native Cav
alry,' and made coolies of them for refusing, to
charge when ordered. It if likely they will he
hung. General Havelock gave our men great
praise for their bravery that day. Upon the
Highlanders and onr old friends and fellow-
campaigners, the 64th, fell the blunt of the bat
tle, bot tbe 64th suffered most/*
General Havelock is, as well he may be,
highly pleased with that glorious regiment, the
78th Highlanders. In a speech that he made to
them after the last thrashing he gave the wretch
we have before alluded to, whose hame it is
pollution to mention more than.it ia absolutely
necessary. General Havelock said:—-“1 have
been in 27 fights, and never saw a regiment be
have better. I will say more, I never saw a
regiment behave so well,”--Poona Observer,

SaP'Rxsue.t or THE Panic.—A despatch
from:BQston says thatex Mayor Samuel A. F«L
liot, of that.cit]
.city, has become jnsane* and was
taken to tbe Insane Hospitaron Saturday, in
consequence of the loss of thei whole of ea-
Native Cottoa.—The following is an ex
tract from a letter published in the Tallahassee
Floridian & Journal, and dated the 14th of Sept,
at Fort Myers, Fla :
“While on a scout near this place, on the
Carloosahatches River a few days since, I found
a large quantity of wild cotton. This cotton is
growing in a low marshy hammock near the
river; when first discovered 1 could hardly be
lieve the fact, bat upon examination I found it
to be cotton in its crude arid uncultivated slate.
This cotton has the appearance of Nankeen
cotton ; hut I think this is caused by the red hug,
which seems to have the same effect on the bolls
as rust on the stem. The leaf of this cotton is
very ntuch like the Sea Island in shape, but frotn
the feeling of the leaf and shape of the bolls one
ould suppose it to bo upland. The cotton
gfows very high, and seems mostly barren, but
this. Is owing to tbe thickness of the growth..
This cotton is so well adapted to the climate
and soil that it grows all winter; it may seem
unreasonable to you,sir; but I am confident that
1 saw some stalks that are at least four or five
years old. It is found mostly in the vicinity of
the river. I went.wrih Colonel Rogers and oth;
ers, who are well acquainted with the cotton
plant, to look at this cotton, and they all pro
nounced it cotton growing naturally in an un
cultivated soil.”
A Word for the Ear of Single Men.—
It strikes us that there is a “world of wisdom**
in the following quotation—brief as it is:'
Every school boy knows a kite would not
•fly unless it bad a string tying it doUrn. It is
just so in life. The man< who. is tied down by
half a dozen blooming responsibilities, and tbeir
mother will make a higher and stronger flight
than the bachelor, who having nothing to keep
him steady, is always floundering in the mod.
If you want to rue in the world, tie yourself to
somebody.” M *r.;i •- -> > «,.*>• .j
The London Atbeneum notices favorably a
recent work by Sir John Forbes, in jvkich that
distinguished physieiap shows that there *is a
natural history of disease, arid that the series.of
actions called disease have in the majority of
cases a tendency to terinioata in health. Dar
ing the occurrence of these abnormal actions,
moeh may be done to re-establish health, says
Dr. Forbes, but it is not the drugs, the nostrums
or the “remedies” that deserve tho credit ' a?
Steerage Passenoe'rs.—The Philadelphia
and New York steamships which arrived yester
day, brought to our city about three hundred
steerage passengers, who have left the North in
consequence of the want of employment^ and
sought our city to obtain a livelihood. We re
gret to see such large numbers of this class of
persons seeking our city in search of employ
ment. They generally come with little or no
money, and in a fesv days are thrown upon the
charily of their friends or the public, for the
common necessities of life. Previous to
present influx of laborers, there were more here
than could find employment, and large numbers
have been wandering about our streets, able atid
>» filing to work, hut have failed to find situations.
Many, disappointed in the object of their visit
here, have returned to the North, while others
entirely destitute still remain, finding it impos
sible to leave, and will be thrown upon the char
ity of our citizens.
The New York Academy of Medicine met
on Wednesday night. Dr. Valentine Mott, M.
D., in the chair. The subject of discussion was
Puerperal Fever, which is peculiarly interesting
at this time, having been very prevalent and
unusually fatal the past session. Prof. Fordyce
Parker read a lorfg and able treaties on tho
fever, which he regarded as a Zymotic disease, r
entirely distinct from local phlegmasia. Thi
learned Professor related very interesting cases
in his hospital and private practice, to illustrate
the wonderful effect of a new agent in the Ma
teria Medica, the Veralrum Vi ride, which has
lately been introduced and used with entire suc
cess. It is almost a specific in all cases of
puerperal fever, and is particularly useful m
reducing the pulse whon depletion cannei he
toiorted to with safety.
Catholic Munificence.—The Pope h*s
been paying a six days’ visit to Florence. As
Chief Almoner of the Church, he has received
enormous sums during- the present tour—thd
first of the Pontificate. The Duke of Loderia’,
probably the richest sovereign in Europe,
though one of the smallest, for example, gave
him 3100,000 after a mass in his cathedral.—-
At Bologne he received various donations iu
sums from ten to sixty thousand dollars; an(f
the Grand Duke of Tuscany placed $20,000 at
hts disposal after the consecration of the Arch
bishop on Sunday. His son, the heir kpparent*
made a similar offering after the Pontifical moss
the next day in hiss Cathedral of the AnnunchU
tion. Among numerous private gifts received;
there is a gold crucifix, glittering with precious
stones 4 valued at $63,000, from the Russian
Prince Demidoff, the repudiated husband*oftlitf
Princes Matilda of Paris, who has the most
sumptuous palace. These are mere itetns in an
immense revenue.
