[Advertisement.] 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 ®flegrapl)tc News.

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.
