Chronic Cougli and Threatened Con
sumption.
A married gentleman, aged thirty three, had
suffered from a cough for six months; to
such an extent as justly to excite the most
serious apprehensions on the part of his
friends. His cough was frequent, attended
with pain in his side, shortness of breath,
loss of flesh, pale, sunken face, and at times
fever. AIL the remedies he had tried had
not availed to meet his case, pr even relieve
his cough. He took one box of Humph
reys’ Cough Pills No. 7 without experiencing
but moderate relief; and, on consulting
Prof. Humphreys, was advised to use the
fever pills in alternation with the Cough
Pills. He did so, taking three or four pills
per day, and found immediate relief, and in
three weeks considered himself entirely well,
having regained bis strength and vigor, and
being free from his cough. f

SECOND DISPATCH.
Richmond, January 13.—General Butler
addressed an immense crowd at the African
Church to-night. He advocated equal
political rights for the blacks, equal honors
in Government, and equal burden in sup
porting it. The land should bear its part
of the taxation, and the burden not be
thrown on the laboring man. He said time
for canfiseation, whether right or wrong, was
gone, and he did not think bis audience now
expected it. [Cries of no we don’t.]
He advised Southern men to divide their
lands, as it must come to that at last. " The
men who worked land would eventually be
owners of land. He did not believe any
war of races would occur, and if it did it
would not come from the blacks. He
argued against the folly of the Southern
people remaining out of the Union, hoping
for better terms. These they could not get,
for whatever other changes might take place
the Senate would not change for six years,
and before two years could expire the ad
mission of the States to their rights in the
Union would be accomplished on present
terms.

Dkar Sir: Tho market for provisions during
the week past has exhibited a better feeding. The

a fair speculative enquiry for some articles, and
yet there is a strong feeling of uncertainty ns to
the future, and many seem willing to unload a
portion of thoir stocks at the current rates, and
in some cases liberal concessions have been made,
but at the close the market was generally firmer,

25c. to $1 less, according to quality
RUMPS remain nominal at sls.
