Gale on the Texas Coast.
Great Lou of Life !—lmmense Destruction of Pro
perty / Matagorda Destroyed ! —JLufui Ship
wreck, Src., SfC.
We are greatly indeb'ed to Mr. Poole, the obli
gling purser of the steam ship Louisiana, which
arrived this morning from Galveston, for the an
nexed graphic account of the late tremendous
gale on the coast of Texas, and the lamentable
destruction of life and property caused thereby.
The gale appears to have spent its fury on the
ill-fated coast of our sister State. But we' have
no time for comment now. Here is the purser’s
statement:
The coast of Texas was visited by a most dis
astrous gale, commencing on Sunday, the 18th
and lasting until Thursday night, the 21st insti
It would be almost a matter of impossibility
to imagine even a greater destruction of life and
property by such an occurrence.
In the Lavaca and Matagorda Bays there was
much suffering and loss.
At Lavaca not much damage was sustained,
other than the schooner Pacific going through one
of wharves, with little injury, however, to
At Indianola, the schooners Atlas and Fanny
Motte, owned by H. E. Bcehner, where both
~ driven through the wharves ot Messrs. A. From
||j me and Wm. M. Yarnelis, and subsequently went
on the beach, where they noiv lie. The Motte
will be a total loss; the Atlas, probably will be
gotton off. Both of them had full cargoes ot as
sort-d merchandize from the steam ship Charles
Morgan, which were saved in a damaged condi
tion, and were being sold for account ot those
. concerned. Sloop Louisia, with freight from the
Charles Morgan, was also a total wreck and car
go partly saved on the beach. A few buildings
were taken off the blocks, but none mateiully
ISaluria and Dekro’s Point did not escape, but
were even greater sufferers than on the bay above
them. Many houses in both places were entire
ly washed away, s >rrie unroofed, and others taken
off the blocks, there not being a single bou*e tr at
escaped serious damage, and quite a number be
ing razed to the ground.
he new wharf (trie of the finest structures of
the kind in the State) owned by Judge Hawrs,
was totally demolished, jiot a post , remains to
show where it s'ood,except a few standing near
the phore. . ’
Dekro’s wharf and warehouses are entirely
gone; not a vestige of them is to be seen.
The schooners Alida anti S. Belden, which had
arrived on Sunday Irom Mobile, and were lying
at anchor opposite Dekro’s,dragged into the reef,
were capsized and totally lost with both entire
crews. The schooner Mustang, just arrived irom
New York, dragged her anchors, ami barely es
caped the fate o! the otheis. She lost both masts,
which probably saved her. The U. S. s’eatnei
Fashion towed her up under Sand Point on Sun
day, the 2-lth, where she would discharge hei
cargo. ”
The U. S. schooner Fairy, belonging to the
Light-House Department, was heacued and is a
p-Jota! loss—ciew saved. The schooner Etuma
Deßassey, owned in Pensacola, is supposed to
jp have drilled to sea, and as she was a good vessel,
* strong hopes are entertained lor her saiety.
The machinery,&■: ,ol the light-house of Pass
Cavallo sustained some material injury, but the
light is still shown as usual.
The wharf and buildings at Powderhorn were
not injured in the least. Nothing on the wharl
was lost, not even a piece of timber staited irom
it, which is truly remai kable, considering that
•# 'death and devastation luied in the entire neigh
borhood.
It l'he Lavaca mud machine, used lor the pur
pose of trying to make a channel lor a year pist,
lies sunk and is probably a total loss.
The gale visited Matagorda with almost un
paralleled fury, destroying nearly ail the buildings
in the place—those of Co!. Williams. Mrs. Sart
well, and one or two small ones being all that
escaped prostration or unroofing. The stocks
of goods of the merchants have been mostly
I ruined, with one exception—Messrs Sheppard A
Burkhart, wbosß store only was unrooied, but
goods materially damaged. Four lives were lost
in the town; Mrs. Duffey, M s! Mernmari. and
■ negro woman and child.
Tdc steamboat Kate Ward was entirely
wrecked near the town—Capt. Ward, his brother
and nine of the crew perishing. But three only
escaped by clinging to one ot the wheels, and
were taken off on the 22d.
Schoontr Tom Paine, Captain F. Hulsemann,
owned in Maftagorda, was totally lost, with the
captain and crew.
A vessel from Sabine, with lumber, lost on the
peninsula; crew saved.
The new’ steamer Colorado, built at Matagorda
nearly finished, iies high and dry in the
prairie, 300 yarns from the bayou.
Crops of Cane and Cotton are blown
•nd neatly ruined. In fact, it is said, not a bale of
Cotton is left in the country.
| Quite a number of small crafts are reported
lost with all their crew’s.
Trespallacious, and the houses on the peninsula
opposite were all swept away, except Col.
r Lewis’s aud two others not recollected. Several
'll p lives are reported to have been lost, among which
\ were two children of Captain J no. Rugely, an
old and much esteemed planter, who were killed
by the house being blown down upon them.
An eye-witness to the devastation of Mata
gorda, says that he never could have conceived
of such a sight as he witnessed between four aud
live o’clock on Monday morning . houses crash
ing and breaking up, their materials Hying
through the air, women and children screaming
and running whither they knew not, seeking
protection, aud when found, only to be driven
forth again after a short lapse ot time to find a
new one, and in many instances in nearly a
denuted state.
Corpus Christi, and other places westward, re
main yet to be heard from, as also the country.
Since the ga e the lollowing vessels have
arrived at Indianola: schooner H. L. Scranton,
22d; 24th, U. S. steamer Fashion and brig
Bingham, from Mobile.
The Drought.—One of the Editors of the
West Tennessee Whig bat jnst returned from a
trip through Kentucky, Ohio, and a part of Indi
ana, and speaks of the drought where he tra
veled: “In the whole course of our lives, we
have never witnessed such distress as has been
occasioned throughthose States by the drought,
la some places there has not been one drop of
rain for three months or more. In some por
tioas of Kentucky we noticed two-thirds of the
forest trees dead—the whole top literally scorch
ed and burnt up; scarcely a sprig of grass to be
seen. Large streams that were never known
to cease running during the summer before
now, just as dry as a powder-horn. Welis and
springs gone dry, that have heretofore, all sea
sons, furnished abundant water, have given out.
Speculators are buying up the corn all through
the country, arid will evidently make somebody
suffer. A gentleman in Nashville told us that
hii had just paid $4.25 per barrel. We heaid of
some sales as high as six d dlars per barrel.”
The price of corn ha 9 already fallen in Nash
ville from $5 to $2 75 a $3.50 per bbl., and we
hope soon to hear similar news from other sec
tions of the country.
Health of Ksoxville —Since Friday morn
ing last, when we issued an extra, which will be
found on the outside of this day’s pap<-r, th-re
have been only two deaths. We hear that
there was a new case on Monday night. It
TPill be seen from our article on the outside,
these two are all the deaths that have occurred
in the last six davs. We feel safe in saying
m that the health of Knoxville is nearly restored
R The late change in the weather has-operated
favorably, and if our citizens will be careful in
their diet, the disease will speedily disappear.
Business of all kinds is being resumed and
prcwecuted the same as before the cholera ap
peared .—Knoxville Remitter, 21th ult. ,

New York Party Politics.
The Anti-Slavery Disunion Whig; Coalition—lm
portant Democratic Movement.
For a day or two past our columns have been
necessarily encumbered with the proceedings of
the 11 outside” political conventions at Auburn.
Since Monday morning we have had no less
than five of them—the second edition of the
Saratoga anti-Nebraska-no party concern, Gen.
Bullard’s independent anti-Nebraska mass meet
ing—the State convention of the free democracy,
or tree soilers propel—She convention of the se
eeders Irom the Saiatoga fusionists, and the State
Temperance Convention. The Saratoga fusion
ists accept the whig candidates, they having ac
cepted the Saratoga resolutions; the free democ
racy adopt Clark, but repudiate Raymond ; the
Saratoga seceders do the same thing; Gen. Bul
lard s affair was a fizzle. The temperance party
accept the whig nominations.
Thus it will be seen that the projet iyf the
Saratoga coalition is substantially carried out in
the concentration ot abolitionists and iree soilers
generally, and whigs of aU complexions, from a
dead white to a shining black, upon the Syracuse
coalition ticket, and the Saratoga platform; for
in addition to the anti-slavery resolutions passed
at Syracuse, every man on the whig State ticket
ratifies the resolutions adopted at Saratoga. Each
of the whig nominees having rendered in his un
qualified approval and adooiration of the Saratoga
platform, it is fairly annexed to thatof the whigs
ot Syracuse,and consequently the latter includes
the policy laid dewn in the two following Sara
toga resolutions, to wit: —
Resolved , That the deliberate repudiation, by
the slave power, on the very first opportunity, of
the solemn compact forced upon our fathers by its
representatives, whereby the Territories now
known as Nebraska and Kansas were consecrated
forever to freedom, has absolved us from all com
pacts or agreements outside the federal constitu
tion, with reference to slavery, and we now take
our stand distinctly on the principle that all ter
ritory of the United States must henceforth be
free territory, and all States hereafter must come
in as free States. {Nine cheers.)
Resolved , That we heartily approve the course
of the freemen of Connecticut, Vermont, lowa,
Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, post
poning or disregarding their minor differences of
opinion or preference, and acting together cor
dially and trustingly in the sacred cause of free
dom, of free labor arid free soil, and we commend
their spirit to the freemen of this and other
States, exhorting each to renounce his party,
whenever that party proves unfaithfdfi to human
freedom.
Mr. Clark, the whig nominee for Governor,
says:—“l fully and cordially approve ol and en
dorse the resolutions” passed at Saratoga. Mr.
Raymond, the whig Lieutenant, says of the pol
icy and the principles of said resolutions: I
approve of both to the fullest extent.” Mr. Fitz
hugh, for Canal Commissioner,says:—“The sen
timents, principles and policy embraced in those
resolution have my unqualified assent and appro
val ;” and, lastly, Mr. Norwood Bowne tor State
Prison Inspector, says :—“ I can stand on no oth
er platform than that which has for its object
the overthrow of that institution that holds to
be right to enslave any class of my fellow men.”
Such is the ground occupied by every member
of tbe whig Slate ticket seriatim, in their corres
pondence vith William Cullen Bryant and his
inend John Jay. Could better abolitionism be
preached by Lloyd Garrison. George Thompson
or Fredrick Douglas ? Was there ever a more
decided out-and out red hot abolition disunion
ticket presented to the suffrages of the people of
New York, or to t ie seditious abolition arid wo
men’s rights conventicles of Massachusetts? Ne
ver. Bue why aie tnese, whig candidates of
ours required to make a ciean hreastot it to Wm
C. Biyantand Jo n Jay? Is not Bryaut the
; editor of the New York Evening Post, a leading
soft shell democrat organ, and suppor er of Sey
, mour for Governor ? He is Aud is not John
Jay an ou!.-ide abolitionists? Just so. But these
men are the corresponding committee ot the
Saiatoga no-party anti-savery alliance; and
thus it is that the whig State ticket has had to
pass as it were lor a final appioval, through the
crucible ot the Iree soil organ ot Tammany
Hall. The whig nominees having done this,
we knew of no other course which the Evening
Post can consistently adopt, than tbe course in
, dieated by the Saratoga fusionists themselves,
whicn is the adoption ot the whig State ticket
by acclamation.
i At all events, the New York whig party, with
its iree soil and abolition mercenaries, is now
broadly before tbe people as the coalition anti
slavery party. No more slave territory, no more
slave States: and the merging of all other party
considerations in the “sacred cause of human
freedom,” is its platform. Disunion is, of course,
tne ultimate object in view, aud the success of
the Seward programme will biing us into the
high road to disunion. There will be no escape
from it with the triumph of the Seward coalition.
Let a great overshadowing Nothern Holy Al
liance for a combined crusade against Southern
slavery be fully developed, and secession and
disunion will be the only way of escape to the
South.
This mongrel Sewardized New York whig
party with the aid ot the Temperance people,
count upon sweeping the State, from stem to
stern, owing to the supposed unpopularity of the
Nebaraska bill, the division among the democrats
and the bad odor .of the Administration. They
count even upon the support ot the Know
from the resolutions of Tammany Hall
against them, and because their votes for Bronson,
as matters stand, would be thrown away.
But according to our special telegraphic advices
which we publish this morning from Albany
the executive committee of each of the democra
tic lactions is to hold a meeting to-day in that
city, with a view to a consolidation of their forces
upon a union ticket. Ihe plan indicated by our
correspondent appears to us to be to feasible, and
easy ot arrangement. All that is required is to
leave the administration and the spoils out of the
question, and reorganize the party upon a new
Union and constitutional platform, in direct
hostility to the seditious abolition policy of the
whig coalition, and lor the express object of
forming a nucleus for a great national conserva
tive party against the abolition conspirators of
1856. Let this be done, and the Seward coalition
may be scatterd to the winds in November. It
will require a lew days more, in view of this
movement, to shape out the probabilties of the
election. There is yet a chance that the “ sober
second thought” of the democrats and the conser
vative principles ol a constitutional union plat
form, may save the State. The democrats must
ultimately reorganize upon a broader basis than
the spoils, or the Administration. Now is the
accepted time.
(From the Savannah Republican , 4th ins/.]
September 1864. and September 1820.
Our thanks are due Mr. A. F. Torlay, Keeper
of Laurel Grove Cemetery, for his statement of
the number of interments in that place of buri
al, for the month of September just passed. The
whole number has been 372—0 f which 317
were whites and 55 blacks—of yellow fever 239
whites, and 9 blacks. From the official Health
report, the interments in the Cathedral Ceme
tery, we find, were for the same time 278.
The whole number of white interment® in
the city for the month of September, 1820, were
232, 213 of which were from yellow fever;
blacks and colored were not included in the list
of interments, but it is presumed that at least 50
had died during that month, w’hicb would make
the lull number of burials about 282. Taking
282 as the estimated number of deaths in that
month—in a population of 2,500—it would show
a ratio of about 1 in 9 ; or of whites alone (1,500)
about 1 in 5.
, Six hundred and fifty interments in our pre
sent population, (11.896.) gives 1 in 18; or of
whites, alone, 595 in a population of 6,313,
shows about lin 11. Out of the 650 interments
for the month only 55 were negroes.
In making the comparison of the month of !
September, the most sickly month of tbe epi
demic yea g 1820 and 1854. it will be seen that
rembleas has neen the affliction of our present
season, that ot 1820 was the most fatal of the
two.
On the 14th of October, 1820, Thomas U. P.
Charlton, tbe then Mayor ot Savannah, advised
the absentees not to return to the city until they :
would be officially notified that the fever no
longer existed ; and on the 4th November, he
made the announcement on tbe authoiity of the j
Heal h Committee that the city, excepting ca- i
tarrhs, appeared to have recovered its health.
The Health Committee, discontinued their daily
reports on the 3d of November.
The Republican ofiSaturday evening, 4th No
vember of that year, contained the following
paragraph:
“On Monday next, we shall,commence pub- !
lishing the Republican every day. This would
have teen done at an earlier the
health of the city was so unpropitious as to pre
clude the'possibility of such an undertaking.
The distressing picture of desolation whi ch has
been exhibited by the progress of pestilence is
now no more amongst us to dishearten and dis
tress. He who does not willingly afflici , has said
to the destroying angel, “it is enough”—and
has again restored health to our afflicted city.
The busy “ hum of men” once more enlivens
our streets, and we expect to see in a few weeks,
our wharves lined with shipping, onr ware
houses crowded with merchandize, and business
resume its wonted activity. ,J

BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
[Transmitted for (he Baltimore American .]
Arrival of the Amerioa at Boston—Particu
lars of the Wreck of the City of Phila
delphia.
Boston, Sept. 30 The R.'M. steamship
America, arrived at this port at half-past one
o’clock this morning, and her mails were dis
patched in the early train for New York, where
where they will be due about 5 o’clock this af
ternoon.
The European papers contain little or no news j
of interest additional to that telegraphed from j
Halifax.
In Naples there has been ten thousand deaths j
by cholera since the disease first made its ap
pearance.
Tqe Newfoundland papersjcontain. 8 few de
tails of the wreck of the steamship City of Phil
adelphia. It appears the vessel stranded at j
Chance Cove at eiven o’clock on Thursday night,
the 14th inst., it being very dark and raining
heavily at the time. She was backelqff and
ran m shore, wflfere the passengers were safely
lanaed.
Tents were immediately pitched and 540 pas
sengers remained on the spot till Saturday morn
ing, when a part of them were conveyed to St.
Johr.s in the steamer Victoria, and the remain
der were conveyed by the same steamer on
Monday.
On Sunday a detachment of military was
sent to protect the property and the wreck.
The Post says that the engineer of
the Victoria descended in a diving dress and
found the wreck lying on a solid roes, the bow
projecting clear, so that he passed under it.
About 8 feet of the stern was turned, and there
was a hole in the bottom of the vessel. It is
doubtful if she can be got afloat again.
Steamer. Wm. Gaston Burnt. —The Savan
nah Republican offhe 4th inst. says:
“About half-past 6 o’clock last evening, a
heavy smoke was seen to issue from the hold of j
this vessel, abaft the engine, and on examination
a fire was discovered to have worked strong head !
way, immediately beneath the ladies’ cabin. j
Every effort was made to extinguish the flame ;
but with no success until scuttling her was re- I
sorted to. About 8£ o’clock she-finally settled
and the fire was overcome. The smoke issuing
from the hold of the burning vessel increasing in
density as the fire progressed, it was with diffi- ;
culty that the firemen could pursue their efforts
in keeping down the flame until the time of her
sinking.
The steamer was unemployed yesterday, and |
no fires had been made in her furnaces. The only j
fire used on board during the day was that in the
caboose in the forward part of the boat for cook- i
ing purposes by the crew; and as the fire discov- !
ered in the after part of the steamer is unaccount
ed for, it may be presumed to have been the work
of an incendiary.
The Gaston was formerly employed in the
Florida trade, but of late has been used as a tow
boat on the Savannah river.
We regret te state that our friend, Mr. Cun
ningham of this city, owner of the steamer, will
sustain a loss of SIO,OOO by this occurr&iee, as
his vessel was not insured.
Thf. New Bishop of New York.— The de \
liberations of the Episcopal Convention in this 1
city resuited yesterday in the selection of Dr.
Horatio Potter, of Albany, to fill the place of
Provisional Bishop of this diocese, vacated by
the death of Bishop Wainwright. Dr. Potter j
was the Professor of Mathematics and of Political
Economy at Washington College, in Hartford,
when that institution was established, under the
prsidency of the Late Bishop Brownell, and he
remained there until about fifteen years since,
when he accepted n call to the rectorship of Sir.
Petei’s Church, in Albany, which relation he
has held ever since.
He is a brother to the Alonzo Potter, the Pro
visional Bishop of Pennsylvahia; and this fact
suggests a singular and painful coincidence.—
Both these provisional bishops, Who are broth
ers, fulfil the duties for the discharge of which,
two others brother?—Henry U. Ouderdonk and
Benjamin T. Onderdonk—were chosen, raid
both of whom have been suspended.
Dr. Horatio Potter, who is henceforth to pre
side over the dioces-, belongs to what is com
monly denominated the L w Curch party. He is
a man of unaffected piety,of austere but not im
pelling manners, learned without as well as with
in the sphere of his professional duty, and is be
loved by a'l who know him We do not doubt
that this election is an auspicious event for the
church.— N. O. Evening Pdt 30M ult.
A Home. —ls we were to tell a number of our
friends that they don’t know what “home” is,
they would grow somewhat indignant—perhaps,
use hard words. And yet it may be remarked
that the number of persons who know what a
genuine home is, by experience, is surprisingly
lew. One man in good circumstances will tell
us that he has a fine house of his own, in which j
every comfort and conveniences are provided.
He has a wife and children there, also, and they
give life to the place. Very tiue. But does he
prefer that home, thus furnished and thus enliv
ed, to every other place in the world? Does he
sigh when the hour for leaving comes, and smile :
when he is permitted to return ? Does he love !
to sit by the cheerful fire and fondle the children, !
enteiing into ail their little disputes with a curi
ous interest? Does he take particular note of!
the bird in the cage, and the cat near the fire?
If not, he has no home, in the dearest sense of ;
that dearest of the words. If his mind ft alto- !
gether absorbed in the dusty ways of business j
—it he hurries from the house in the morning, I
and is loth to return at night—if, while he is at ;
home, he continues to think of the journal arid
ledger, and repulses the advances of the prat- j
tling children, he has no home; he only has a j
place where he lodges and fakes his meals.
Xh ! happy is he who knows and appreciates
the full bliss of home; whose heart is warmed !
| and humanized by its cheerful influences, and !
| who feels how superior in purity of pleasure are \
i all its enjoyments to the turmoil delights of out I
! door life. Thrice happy is such a man. He has
discovered the only Paradise th ; s world can now !
I afford. It i 3 only such a man who can have a 1
I deep and sincere pity for the unfortunate crea
j tures who are homeless. He regards them as
I being cut off from the best influences of the
j earth, and exposed to the action of all the darker
i waves of life. He feels keenly for him who
has no fireiiide--no dear ones to welcome him with
smiles, and prattle over the history of the day
! —no tongue to sooth when heavy cares have
troubled the mind and rendered the heart sore •
and the sympathy of such a man is not slow to
oveiflow in acts of benevolence. A good home
is the source of the fountain of charity in the
heart.
Our advice to those who have no homes such
as we have described above, is, to get them as
soon as possible. They can never be contented
and substantial citizens, happy
men, until they follow this tfounsel. Get homes !
Fill them with the objects of love and endear- j
ment, and seek there for the pure delights |
which the world besides cannot afford. (
Keeping Cool. —A correspondent of th«
Democratic Courier, f rom Cincinnati, tells a sto
ry of a fellow who was lound in the guttei
drunk, and taken before the Mayor, when the
following dialogue took pi ice: *
‘•David,” said bis honor, as soon as he laid his
eyes on Mr. Jones, “are you here again? Did
you not promise me last week that you would
not get drunk again if I would let you off?”
“ Keep cool your honor,” replied Dave, with
brazen impudence, “ keep cool—and that’s what
I have been trying to do.”
“But your charged with being beastly drunk,
and were lying in the gutter.”
“Drunk— not guilty. Lying in the gutter—
guiltyl” ***»•
“ What were you lying in the gutter for, if you
were not drunk?”
“You see, your honor,” replied Dave, with
the air of a lawyer, “it was monstrous hot last
night—hot as h—l; couldn’t sleep—drinked
three glasses of lemonade and a gallon and a
half ol pump water—hot yet— jumped into the
river—felt nice—but could’nt sleep—then your
honor, I came out again—drank another gallon
of pump water; pumped a gutter full—laid
down in i f —felt comfortable—went to sleep
dreamed I was rich, riding in a coach and four
’round the north pole—woke up, found myself
in the watch house—trying to keep cool; that’s
all.”

Melancholy Affair—Several Persons
Poisoned—Three or four Deaths.—A gen- j
tieman who came down on the South-side Rail
road yesterday, gives us the particulars of a
melancholy case of poisoning, that occurred in
the county of Amherst on Wednesday last.
It seems a Mr. Lavender, residing in Amherst,
about ten miles from Lynchburg, has been re
cently very much annoyed by the dogs in his
neighborhood. They have frequently gained ac
cess to his Spring House, and devoured his milk
and butter. Determined to get rhl of them, on
Wednesday lest he placed a quantity of poison
, (arsenic it is supposed) in a can of milk, but did
! not communicate the tact to his family. He
was unexpectedly called from home, and his en
tire family, some thirteen in number, partook of
the poisoned milk. A1 last accounts, three had
fallen victims bv the unfortunate circumstance,
and the remainder were lying dangerously ill—
our informant states, not expected to recover.

j Lsv, ' r Pills —The Liver Pills of
! Dr. M’Lane were first used by him ex- !
: clusively in his own practice. So efficacious were j
they in all cases of Liver complaint, that they be- i
came famous, and attracting ,the attention of tho I
j medical faculty, passed into general uso. They act ;
! with great certainty and regularity; the patient !
almost immediately feels tho dispersion of his dis- 1
! ease, and is gradually restored to health. With I
, some the etfect is almost miraculous, frequently' ex- i
| poriencing immediate relief, after having for months
; resorted to drugs and medioinos of another doserip- j
j tion, in vain. Diseases of tho Livor aro very com
mon in this country, and are often frightful in I
! character. Those who experience any of "the pre
i monitory symptoms ot this dangerous and compli
! eated disease, should at once procure a box of Dr
! MVane’s Pills, and perhaps, thereby.be saved a
j world of misery.
; will be careful to ask for Dr.
M’Lano’s Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none
else.. There are other Pills, purporting to be Liver
j Fills, now before tbo public. Dr. MLane’s Liver
Pills, alone his Celebrated Vormituge, can now be

A Warning—Delay not; harbor
not in your mind that sentence of fool's
philosophy, that a disease will fjet well of itself,or
that you can euro it with certain medicines for a
few dollars. Beware how you tamper with your
general wolfaro. J
Ye wild and vicious youths, why will ye persist
in dosing with the filthy, nauseating compounds
daily proffered, thereby impairing your appetite
and digestion, and destroying you montally as well 1
as physically, when you can be cured with a few
doses of pleasant medicines 7
Ye rakes of every age and condition, why will
yo suffer and repine and drag out a‘miserable ex '
istenoe, unfitted for the enjoyment and even ordi
nary pursuits of life ? You who arc thus annoyed, I
and wish to be restored to health and vigor bv a !
treatment at once pleasant and effectual' should i
oonsult Dr. Morris. His success in ohro’nic dis- I
oases has been greater than that of any other phv !
sician of his day. Many who ?-.ve been for years i
afflicted with disease or consequents resulting ■
from excess have been restored to health and viaor !
under his really scientific treatment. * j
Should a personal interview be objectionable I
state your disease in writing—enclose five dollars i
—address Dr. W. 11. Morris, through the Posts '
Office, Nashville, Tenn., and a package of Medi- I
oines, securely put up, will be sent privately, and i
with dispatch, full directions therewith, and no i
questions asked.
Persons living at a distance, and afflioted wi*h
Scrofula, Old Ulcers, Tetter Cancers, Piles, Fistula
In Ano, Gravel, Strictures, Gleets, or any disease
iwbatever of an aggravated or malignant character
can be erred at home by consulting Dr Morris’
by letter, post paid, enclosing a fee. These Medi’
ernes, pleasant and safe, can be sent per mail to
