A Considerable Item. "Within the last twenty years, accord ing* to the showing of the Secretary of the Treasury, upwards of three hundred millions of dollars have been lost by the defecation of the officials of that depart ment. The most of them attempted to Vtllte shelter under the wings of the JJj(pkrupt law, but Mr. Secretary Guthrie, IgHiked by the opinion of able lawyers, ha*come to the conclusion that said law <lid( not relieve those indebted to the government, lie is consequently traek -}M up these defaulters, and intends to ti# the strong arm of the Judiciary in dßdng them toe the official mark. —He ijgßsaid to have realized already about tatty millions of dollars of this kind of indebtedness. *orxT Orloff’s Opinion of Napo t3jn.— The Paris correspondence of the ®||epcndence Beige pretends the 'fdflowing are the exact terms in which the Russian Plenipotentiary, Count Or- j loss, lately expressed his opinion of the character of the Emperor Napoleon : J* The greatest grief (chagrin) of my lift,” said the Count, “now that I know the Emperor Napoleon, is that my late master, the Emperor Nicholas, did not fcnbw him too. —If he could have seen him for hut half an hour, not only would there have been no war, but the best re lations would have been established be tween the two sovereigns and the two countries. The Emperor Napoleon has precisely those traits of character that would have exercised a great influence over.the Emperor Nicholas.” TBe superiority of American inventive genius, not only over that of our English •progenitors, but indeed of all other na tions has become too tangible to be dis puted. It was notorious at the World’s Pair in London, that the Americans far outstripped all others in the useful inven tions wibch they supplied. We are beating them in the scientific arts of Chemistry and Medicine, as we have long beat'the rest of mankind. Anew and practical proof of this assertion is shown -ill the fact that the principla remedies of the allied armies of the East are furnished "from the laboratory of our own country roan. l)r. J. C.

City Times, A Daughter of South Carolina.— Miss Peggy Land, a young woman of Pickens Di-trict, about twenty-four years of age, after trying weaving, carding, spinning and sewing, last 3'oar went to farming, and made cotton which netted her SIOO. Her corn crop was two hun dred and fifty bushels, worth sixty cents per bushel, and sho made thirty-five bushels of wheat, worth one dollar and fifty cents a bushel.

At this time she tried Holloway’s Pills, which quickly did their work, by removing Irorn the system all the nox ious matter, carrying off the bad Grids, and left her in the enjoyment of perfect health, her friends have all been astonished at the apparent trans formation, yet all this has been effected by Hol loway’s Pdls.

Invalids, Read and Judge for Yourselves. JULES lIAUEL, Esq., the well-known perfumer ot Chestnut street, Philadelphia, whose choice products pro found at almost every toilet, say si “ I am happy to say of your Cathartic Pills, that I have found them a tetter family .medicine for common use, than any other within my knowledge. Many of mv friends have realized marked benefits from them and coincide with me in believing that they possess extraordinary virtues for driving out. diseases and curing the sick. They are not only effectual but safe and pleasant to* be taken, qualities which must make them valued by the public, when they are known.' The venerable Chancellor Wardlaw, writes from Baltimore, 15th April, 1854: “Dr. J. (j. Ayer— Sir: I have taken your Pills with great benefit, for the listlessness,* languor, loss of appetite, and Billiou* headache, which has of late years overtaken me in the spring. A few doses of your pill# cured me. 1 have used your Cheery . Pectoral many years in my family for coughs and colds with dnfailing success. ‘You make medicines which cure, and I feel it a pleas ure to commend you for the good you have done and are doing.” John F.

S. Stevens, 31. D. of Wentworth, N. 11., writes: “ Having used your Cathartic Pills in my prac tioe, I certily from experience, that they are an invaluable purgative. In of disordered functions of the liver, causing headache, indiges tion, costiveness, and the great variety of disea ses that follow, they are a surer remedy than any other. In all cases where a purgative remedy is required, I confidently recommend these Pills to the public, as superior to any other I have ever found. They are sure in their operation, and perfectly safe, qualities which make them an in valuable article for public use. 1 have for many years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best Cough medicine in the world, and these Pills arc in no wise inferior to that admirable preparation for the treatment of diseases.” “ Acton, Me., Now ‘25.1853. “I)r. J. C.

With what feelings of rejoicing I write, can only be imagined when yon realize what 1 have suffered and how long. “ Never until now ha**c I been free from this loathsome disease in some shape. At times it attacked my eyes, and made me almost blind, besides the unendurable pain ; at others it settled in the scalp of my head, and has kept me partly bald all my days; sometimes it came out in my face, and kept it for months a raw sore. “About nine weeks ago 1 commenced, hiking your Cathartic Pills, and now am entirely free from the complaint. My eyes are well, my skin is fair, and my hair has commenced a healthy growth; all of which makes me feel already a new .person. “ Hoping this statement may be the means of conveying information that shall do good to oth ers, laiu, with every sentiment of gratitude, Yours, Ac., MARIA RICKER.” “I have known the above named 31aria Ricker from her childhood, and her statement is strictly true. ANDREW J. MEHERVE, Overseer of the Portsmouth Manuf g. Cos.” Capt. Joel Pratt, of the ship Marion, writes from Boston, 20th April, 1854. “ Your Pills have cured me from a billions at tack which arose from derangement of the Liver, which had become very serious. I had failed of any relief by my Physician, and from every rem edy I could try, but a few doses of your Pills have completely restored me to health, I have given them to my children for worms, with the best effects. They were promptly cured. 1 re commended them to a friend for costiveness, which had troubled him for months; ho told me in a few days they had cured him. You make the best medicine in the world, and I am free to say so.” Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the Supreme Court, whose brilliant abilities have made him well known, not only in this, but the neighboring States. “Neie Orleans, sth April, 1854. “ Sir: I have great satisfaction in assuring you that myself and family have been very much ben efited by your medicines. My wife was cured two years since, of a.severe and dangerous cough, by your Clierrv Pectoral, and since then has en joyed perfect health My children have several times been cured from attacks of the Influenza and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for these complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have en tirely cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness which has grown upon me for some years,—in deed this cure is much more important from the fact that I had failed to get relief from the best Physicians which this section of the country af fords, and from any of the numerous remedies I had taken. “ You seem to us. Doctor,'like a providential blessing to our family, and you may well suppose we are not unmindful of it. Youis respectfully, LEAVITT TIIAXTER.” “Senate Chamber, Ohio, April oth 1854. “ Dr. J. C. Ayer— Honored Sir: I have made a thorough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by your agent, and have been cured by them of the dreadful rheumatism under which he found me suffering. The first dose relieved me, and a few subsequent doses have entirely removed the dis ease. I feel in better health now than for some years before, which I attribute entirely to the ef fects of your Cathartic Pills. Yours with great respect, LUCIUS B.

Sec circular and the following: The following is from a distinguished member of the medical profession: St. Paul, January \at, 165". Professor 0. J. Wood —Dear Sir: Unsolicited I send you this certificate. After being nearly bald for a long time, and having tried all the hair restoratives extant, and having no faith in any, I was induced on hearing of yours, to give it a trial. I placed myself in thelmnds of a barber, and had my head nibbed with a good stiff brush, and the Restorative then applied, and well rubb ed in, till the scalp was a glow. This I repeated every morning, anu in three weeks the yom g hair appeared, and grew rapidly f>-.7h August last till the present time, fT.u o row thick, b!nc*k and strong—-soft and pleasant to the touch; wherein', before, it was harsh and wiry, what little theio was of it, and that little wa.- disappearing very rapidly. 1 still use your Restorative about twice a week, and shall soon have a good and peifcct crop of hair. Now, if 1 had lead of these things —and who has not? -but have not seen hitherto any case where any person’s hair was really ben efited by any of the hair tomes, etc., cl'the day; and it really gives me pica cure to record the. re sult of my experience. I have recommended your preparation to others, and it already has a large and general sale throughout, the Territory. The peopje here know its effects, end have confi dence in it. The supply you sent us, as whole sale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted, and daily inquiries are made for it. You desert e credit for your discovery ; aid i, for one, return you mv thanks for the benefit it has done me, fi r I certainly h id de>paired Ion" ago of ever effect ing any such result. 3 our:, hastily, J.
