THE FEDERAL UNION. Corner of Haneock and Wilkinson Streets.) Wednesday Morning, March 27, 1872. r*nblniii( Ike Opposition. Many of the opponent* of Gen. Grunt are to san- gnine a* to believe that ail of those opposed to the re election of Gen. Grant can he united on one ticket. We think thin is more than doubtful. Many of the liberal Republican* at the West are opposed to a high tariff. They could unite with the Democrats; but Horace Grecly and Charles Sumner are in favor of h’gli tariff. The labor reformers in many things agree with the Democrats, but some of the planks in their platform are objectionable. It will require a great deal of forbearance and patriotism to bring all of these discordant element* together and make them act in concert. We hope this may be effected, for we be lieve the salvation of the country depends upon the defeat of Gen. Grant. We hope the Democracy will take no stock in the Cincinnati Convention. But let the liberal Republicans take such ground as suits them and nominate such candidates as will be most the popular with their party. When the nomination of liberal republicans is matte the Democracy can decide whether they will support the Liberal Republican or the Labor Reform ticket, 01 nominate a Democratic ticket of their owu. We strongly suspect Gen Grant will continue to buy up a part of the disaffected Re publicans. He has so many offices at his control, and so much patronage at his disposal that he can hold out great inducements to men of mercenary dispose tions, and we fear he will be able to break up the Cincinnati Convention, or induce them to support him The Klnlr Trials Ml Atlanta. We presume that no man acquainted with all of the circumstrnces ever expected that any of the big thieves, living in or around Atlanta, would be punished or made to disgorge the money they had stolen from the State. The people of Atlanta knew flies- men were plundering the State of thousands and millions, and yet they kept mum and dark, and when others complained,they laid it was all prejudice against Atlanta. The fact was, Atlanta was being built up with this plunder, and why should they complain? It was for tins very purpose the capital was moved to Atlanta. These men who were plundering alltherest of the Stale tor the benefit of Allauta, were consider ed the elite of the city, and almost worshipped as pub lie benefactors, and it would be unreasonable to sup pose that the men who have grown rich out ot the plunder would be likely to punish the rohhers. It would he ni grateful for them to do so. They may punish some poor lellows who only stolen lew hundred dollais, and had not money enough left to bribe ju- roia or Sheriffs and jailors, but those who stole their thousands and millions will all go free. These big thieves have friends and partners all over Atlan tn who will never see them punished. Besides, if these big rascals are brought to punishment it might endanger hundreds of othets who were their partners. The fact is, the firm of Bullock, Blodgett, Kimball, Clews & Co., embraced hundreds of the citizens of Atlanta. It was a joint stock concern which has many ramifications. To this Company the people of Atlan ta owe many of their boasted improvements, and it is not reasonable to suppose that tney will suffer them to he punished. General Toombs and Linton Steph ens and the Lego at ve committee may detect and convict tome of the cu‘ aits, hut the people of Atlan ta will never Bland b\ an I see their partners punished ; too many of them are inierested. It is believed that if the State could recover all that has been stolen, more Ilian one hall of the property of A'lanta would have to be fold to pay the debt. If this property is ever recovered, or many of the big thieves are ever punished, these Stale trials will have to he moved to some other place. Neither of these oljects can over be effected in Atlanta. Our Ml. Jlsiy'i Idler We have the pleasure of laying before our leaders to-day a highly interesting letter, giving an accouiq of a visit to the tomb of Gen. Lee’s father, from the pen of our well known correspondent “ W. G. M.” Thu Member nnd Iht- Railroads. A tremendi d* fall of rain was experienced in this r< gion on last Sunday night, and on the following day and on j esterday the cloud* still lowered darkly, but without rain. The streams are greatly swollen,and we understand the Railw ay bridge over Fishing creek on the Macon and Augusta Railroad (belween our city and Macon) has been carried away. We have no mail over that road since Monday morning. The train of that morning passed our city going eastward, hut was thrown from the track near Carr’s Station anil greatly damaged We infer that the track has not been cleared or that other damage has been done that pait of the Road, as at the present writing no train from Augusta has reach ed us since Sunday night. The old railway from Gor don to Katoi ton is uninjured : at least we infer so from the punctual anivals on time of the excellent Capt. Whiting’s train. Gov. Wiirmolh'a Views. New York, March 14—Gov. Warmoth. of Louisiana, in ail expression of his views on Lou isiana politics, says that the administration party in that State is confined to Collector Casey and his adherents who are holding Federal offices ;— that the retention in offices of Casey and Packard disgusted Longstreet so that he was obliged to re sign. These Federal officials engaged in all sorts of corrupt schemes. Casey made it a point to get interest in all the companies which obtained priv ileges from the Legislature Among the hills in which he was interested were the levee bill, the levee shed bill, the warehouse bill. The man in med to succeed Longstreet is Parker, a brother- in-law of Ben. Butler. The opposition to Grant will increase at the South, unless he changes his course. If the Cincinnati Convention acts wisely, its nominees will receive the support o< Louisiana. One Hfndred Miles an Hour by Rail.—A Pennsylvania engineer, nam ed Wilder, has recently hit upon an idea which, if carried out, as it de serves to be, will do much toward in creasing the efficiency and enhancing the economy of railroads. It provides for the laying of two narrow gauge tracks, side by side, with a space be tween the inner rails equal to the or dinary gauge of four feet eight inches. Thus, three possible gauges will be fur nished on the same line, all of which it is proposed to use. For freight, the narrow gauge will be used at a safe rate of speed, while for passenger trav el, and a high rate of speed, the broad gauge will he used, the cars being mounted on four lines of .wheels. This, he contends, will prevent oscillation, thereby increasing safety. He calcu lates that by this system, and the in creased weight of engines, it will per mit of a rate of speed being attained as high as a hundred miles an hour. —The girls in the State Agricultural College in Iowa not only keep up in their studies with the young men, but do all the housework under the superin tendence of a matron and a general housekeeper. A College in which young girls are taught housework is certaiuly a praiseworthy institution. During the first week in May, the Georgia Teachers Association will hold its annual Convention at Augusta. A circular, containing the names of the lecturers and the subjects assigned for papers, and for the discussion, will be issued about the first of April, and sent to all the teachers of the State. The Gainesville Eagle aay* : “We were shown one day this week, by Mr R. Palmour, of this city, a nugget of native gold, 'bright and yellow, bard and cold,' found in the Etowah near the line of Dawson and Lumpkin counties, weighing seventy- four pennyweights. There is doubtless many a gimilar piece in our El Dorado," , For the Federal Union. Vlait M the Tsnh of Grs. I.er’n Father. St. Mary's, Ga , March 20, 1872. After a good breakfast at the large new "Spencer House” hotel of this delightful little city, a party pro ceeded to the tiny sloop Gcoreia. Capt. Cassidy ef Brunswick, which had been chartered for the day for an excursion to C’umherlnnd Island. A leading object of our visit was to stand at the tomb of ‘ Light Horse Harry” of the American Revolution —the illustrious Father of our own illustrious Robert E. Lee, the beloved and the lamented leader of our “Lost Cause.” In 1813. Gen. Henry Lee, incapacitated by physical disability from participation in enr War then raging with Great Britain, went in quest of health to the West Indies. Early in 181S. he sought his native land, sensible that bis “end of earth” could not be far dis tant. At 'uis request, the vessel on which he had em- baiked put into Cumberland Sound, nnd the distin guished and dyiog patriot became the guest of Mrs. Shaw, the eldest daughter of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, then the mistress of Dungeness Mansion. This noble and lordly mansion, built under the direction of Mrs- Greene after the General’s death, of massive “tabby” walls, (now in ruins, having been destroyed by fire in 1867.) was then the seat of refined and elegant hospi tality. Here, the illustrious guest received every at tention ; but he died on the 25th ot March, 1818, and was interred iu the family cemetery near the grave of Mrs. Gen- Greene. The remains of Gen. Greene who died at Mulberry Grove near Savannah, prior to the erection of the Dungeness Mansion, have been un fortunately lost. At 8 o’clock this morning, our cheerful party wera under sail in St. Mary’s River, made up of Christian F. Toll, formerly of your city, now or St. Mary's; James W. Young of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Geo F Carr and Robt L Rudolph of St. Mary’s, J R Franklin of Brunswick and your chronicler. The rapid sail adnwn the River under a blue sky and before a fresh wind was delightful Capt. Cassidy told some of Ilia queer est sailor yarns, in which others joined; and by way of variety, Tol 1 and your venerable correspondent fell into au argument over the Greek letter Theta, and about the original Greek text from the Prometheus of ACschylus which DeQuiiioev so beauti villy, yet freely, translates “O multitudinous laughter of the ocean bil lows!” At this juncture a few porpoises joined in the discussion ill a sportive spirit, turning summersaults, in their owd inimitable style on the surface of the‘‘briny deep.” We reached the Dungeness landing on Cum berland Island about 9o'clock, where we were hospi tably received by Mr. Geo F Johnston, the gentleman ly occupant ot the Dungeness property. Under the polite guidance of Mr. Johnston, we visit ed the various placesof interest on the premises. The massive walls of the mansion, composed of solid ma sonry known as “tabby” (formed ot concrete lime and shells) resemble more the ruins of some old frndal cos tie than anything else we have seen in the United States. It was erected under the direction ot the widow of Gen. Greene, who rewarded the cunning architect, a Scotchman named Phineas Miller, for his skill in his profession and his woith as a man, by giving herself to him. Her marriage to Mr. Miller soon followed the erection of the mansion. Her death occurred in 1814. After a carelul survey of these massive ruins, we pioceeded in a south-easterly direction about half a mile to the family cemetery, it is enclosed by alow tabby wall; the cedar and live-oak intertwine their branches closely over the neglected tombs; and the wail on the Southern side it* crumbling to deaay. A rustic cedar gate of modern construction alone shows the recent preseuce of man. We sought, first, tha tomb of Lee. On the white marble tomb stone, is the inscription : SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF GENERAL HENRY LEE, OF VIRGINIA. Obilt—25 March, 1818, ^Etat 63. Nearest to Gen. Lee’s tomb is that of Charles Jack- sou, a Revolutionary officer, who died iu 1801; aud the next is that of Mis Miller. It reads, In memcrj of Catharine Miller, (Widow of tlie late Major General NATHANIEL GREENE Commander iu-CLief, of the American Army iu^ The Southern Department in 1783,) Who died Sept. 2nd, 1814, aged 59 years. She possessed great talents And exalted virtues. The tomb of Gen. Greene's daughter, Mrs Louisa C. Shaw, who died in 1831, aud of her husband Mr James Shaw who died in 1820, are beside Mrs Miller's Many persons ale under lire impression that Gen. Greene was buried here; hut UL the time of his death (1786) he resided at Mulberry Grove near Savannah, aud his remains were deposited in a vuult in the old cemetery m Savannah The mansion of Dungeness was erected after his death. When his descendants in after years sought his remains with the purpose of re moving them to Dnugeness, they could not be identi tied. It is certain that they are not at Dungeness. Even our own Gen. Robert E. Lee w us under the im pressiou that Gen Greene was interred at Dungeness, ami so Stales by necessary implication in his biograph ical .-ketch prefixed to his Father s historical work on 1(evolutionary History, in the edition of the latter that appeared iu 1869. The writer hereof ventured to call Gen. Robert E. Lee's attention to this mistake in March, I87U ; and in the next month—April 1870—he made a pilgrimage to his Father’s tomb, and ascer tained tor himself that Gen Greene's remains were not at Dungeness. Alas, he very soon sank into his own grave, in his own loving and beloved \ irginia In January of the present year, at the suggestion of the writer hereof, the accomplished artist Mr- F.J Fisher, of Knoxville, Tennessee, visited Dungeness, and is now engaged in making an exquisite and truth lul historical painting representing Gen. Robot E. Lee standing a! the tomb of his father, as he did in April, 1870. It will be chromo-litbographed, and will constitute oneof the most touching and attractive pic tures, especially to Southrons, in existence. Mr. John ston showed us to day the point from which Mr. Fisher made hi? sketch on tne ground; and a beautiful land scape it is, aside from the history it will embody direct ly connecting the Revolutionary war wi;h our latrr and greater “ War between the States”—tile great "Light Horse Hairy” ot I he Revolution with his greater son. our lamented Chieftain iu our recent dis astrous but glorious struggle. Turning from the tomhs with silent reverence, we w alked a short distance through deserted fields where thorny cactus abounded, and the bristling cirsium in bloom spoke of the mildness of this delicious and half- tropical climate The surf came up on the white beach in long swells. Were a sea-bathing establish ment opened here it would eclipse in many respects such resorts in the Northern States. The climate throughout the heats of summer ; s nt-vei oppressive and in the winter, the cold is seldom disagreeably felt We brought, away some mementoes in the shape of some beauliful sea-shells which lie scattered in the border of the restless waters, aud some fragments of ancient Indian pottery. At one part of the beach, the heaving restless waters of old Ocean are slowly wearing away a mound exposing these fragments of pottery, together with the bones of its Aboriginal builders. Near this spot the celebrated pirate Gibhesissaid to have hidden an immense treasure of golden coin. Prior to his execution—.-o goes the story—touched by the kindness of his jailor, he described to him the pot on the Southern end of Cumberland Island, stat ing that lie (Gibbes) had taken ten men ashore to bury the treasure; and to preserve his secret, he had murdered these ten men and thrown them overboard soon as he got to sea. The treasure has often been searched for- We did not take time to search for so small a sum—only $170,006 in gold! Indeed had we found it, the weight would have been inconvenient to carry. Declining for want of time—wind and tide co-ope rating to dictate the hour of our return—a hospitable invitation ot Mr. Johnston to dine, we took a hasty lunch on board the restless “ Georgia” already ruek- iug on the waves at the beach, impatient to sail. Mr. Johnston’s hospitality added some delicacies to ur sumptuous lunch; aud we remember to have eard some popping sounds as of corks a short time be fore we set sail. Conversation was animated as we left the foamy waters in Cumberland Sound. Oneof mr party, in Ins intense practicality, describing a swimming match in his native Penobscot, leaped over board and buffeted the waves us lustily as did Ca:«ar aud Cassius the noted time they swam the Tiber. The skilful Cassidy Siam hauled to ; and the “ wave-stem- mer” stood triumphantly on deck again, tlie acknowl- dged hero of the expedition. We reached this city an hour ago. W. G. M. FROM ATLANTA.

Arsenic-Enters Sixteen years ago a tragedy occurred in the moun tainous regiou of Eastern-Tenuessee which was brought vividly to the attention of the writer by his connection with some investigations before the grand jury touching the circumstances. In the village of Wartburg, wholly peopled by Ger man immigrants, one of the prominent citizens was found dead with a pistol in his right hand, and a ball in his brain which entered at the back of his head. One barrel of the pistol was empty. The question arose IVas it a case of suicide or assination l Facts antecedent to the tragedy, as elicited before the grand jury, favored both tlie theories. It is diffi cult to shoot one’s self directly in the bark of the head with a pistol, no matter if the ban el be short, as was the fact in this instance. On the investigation before tlie grand jury a youth ful Styriau was examined who liud but recently ar- rived from Europe. The beauty of her complexion was beyond compare ; and her eyes possessed a viva city and expression we never saw elsewhere. On re marking thus much to an intelligeut German physician, he explained that the results were owing to an habit ual use of arsenic by the beautiful female before as. We are reminded of this incident by rending m Ap pleton's Journal, that most instructive and interesting of our Weekly publications—in tlie issue of February 10th a vety interesting article entitled Arsenic-Eaters The prevalence of this straDge and dangerous habit in portions of Styria is fully authenticated; aud the receutnees, and we may add reluctance with which scientific and intelligent men in other countries be came convinced of its existence, are fully set forth. Of course the habit is one of fatal tendency, however conducive to vivacity of expression and beauty of complexion. One remarkable instance is given of a Styrian accustomed to taking 23 grains of the poison daily. The ordinary falal dose of arsenic (or arsent- ous acid, as the white aiseuic of our drug stores is popularly termed) taken by persons unaccustomed to its use, is only two grains. To such intemperate ar senic-eaters as the one mentioned, the language oi Lord Byron on Mithidates would well apply: “ Like to the Pontic monarch of old days, Who fed on poisons till they did become A kind of nutriment” We mid not quit the interesting number of Ap pleton’s Journal under consideration without referring to another curious and suggestive article it contains— “ The City of the Future '' The plan is proposed of making buildings in densely populated cities to reach a dozen stories or more. Salubrious climate could be found in the upper stories for elegant residences, and flowers could be grown on flat roofs. Steam eleva- tors wocld carry occupants up and down with facility ; and fire-proof buildings would prevent dangers from eonlagration. The world moves. W. G.

Nothing could be more absurd than an abandon ment of our position because the Ministry have re ceived a civil reply from Washington. Is it supposed that what we wanted was an angry reply, ana that having failed in provoking one, we yield at once and admit the American case without furilier question? The negotiation of the Treaty at Washington has not given us an exalted notion of diplomacy, but we have comforted ourselves by thinking that it was only to amateur diplomatists that our interests at Washing ton were confided; if, however, the diplomatists at Paris can really believe that we will submit to the au thority of the arbitrators on the question of indirect damages because we have received a soft answer, we shall be tempted to give up diplomacy altogether. I Ve do not intend to pay anything in respect of conse quential damages; and the reason irhy tec cannot consent to go on with the arbitration if the claim lor consequential damages be pressed is lhat it is neither just to ourselves nor to the tribunal before which we should appear to allow a question to be argued which we insist is not within the reference, end nnv deter- minatioe of which we are determined beforehand to treat as a nuMily. This is our position, and it cannot be too clearly understood. What may be the result ot the difficulty we know not. aud it does not rest with ourselves, but it never shall be laid to our charge hereafter that the Treaty of Washington was abor tive because wo did not make our meaning plain when the question of its construction arose.—London Times, Feb. 23. President Grnnl’s Affinities. We find a circumstantial account in one of our Re publican exchanges of an interview with that rugged Isbmaelite, Wendell Phillips, fiom which we venture on an extract: Grant’s chief concern, says Mr. Phillips, appears to be money-making : y. Do you think lie makes money in aeorrupt way ? A. I shouldn’t like to say that; but he has managed to make some seven or eight hundred thousand dol lars duiiug his administration, and lie thinks he has not enough yet. A friend of uiiue residing in New York, who was until very recently a very warm ad mirer of General Grant, stated to me that during a conversation with him tlie President Imd disgusted him by remarking that he did not think his (Grant’s) Irienda iiad yet sufficiently rewarded him for the ser vice lie had i endered them and the sacrifice he had made—the remark, as my friend took it, being a strong bint for more presents. bl Does Grant really desire to occupy the Presiden tial chair anotr er term ? A. He has but two aspirations—re-election and another million. q. In case of the rennmination of Grant, is it likely that Sumner, who is now opposed to him, will support him—during the campaign? A. Mr. Sumner will not under any circumstances support General Grant; he entertains the most con temptuous opinion of him. During quite a recent conversation I had with him at Washington, Mr. Sumner said that the President was the most igno rant, corrupt, dishonest man living! If there was no other choice, Mr. Sumner would rather not vote at all than vote for Grant. The Prospects Ahead.—We have just received a letter from Oregon, (written” the 10th ultimo) which is full of the right spirit, from beginning to end. We take the liberty of giving our readers a few extracts as a sample ol the whole: I read the papers from all parts of the country, and am chagrined at the flagrant violations of the Constitution perpetrated daily by the ruling party They have no idea of maintaining the Institutions of our fathers. The Con stitution is a dead letter to them. Martial law is their reliance. It is un der this they cover their infamous acts of oppression, robbery and plunder. Will our liberties be lost? If we fail to 3ecnre the reins of Government at the next Presidential election I fear they will he. I feel gloomy in view of the dangers around us. but feel sat isfied that the Democracy have the power to avert such a calamity, if they wiil but exert it properly—if will but stand firm and united, and see to it that the present administration does not succeed in their aims of carry ing the elections by military intimida tion and force. Some of our Northern leaders are either too timid, time-serving, or some thing worse, to be depended on. * * * I am bitterly opposed to “a passive policy” by the Democracy in dealing with these ursurpers. We, in my judgment, can only succeed in a straightforward boldly conducted cam paign. This is quite enough to show the Democracy in those States East of the Rocky mountains, the spirit that is animating the breasts of their comrades in the far West. A. H. S. —A consignment ot 7000 salted kan garoo skins was lately received in San Francisco from Australia, and are to be made into leather at an Oak land tannery. The skin of the kangaroo is quite thin, but exceedingly tough, and when tanned into leather is very pliable and soft, wearing a long time without cracking and turning water better than calf akin. The Albany Central City says the farmers of that option are a little gloomy on account of unpropitious character of the weather. The planters in the eastern part of Moscogee county are putting iu plenty of corn. A Bartlesville firm has sold over three liuudred tons of one brand of fertilizers.

The aggregate runs to over $20 I 1)00. and the attach ments touch the following parties: Schofield Rolling Mill, $57,000. This is fi r iron. Foster Blodgett near ly $60,000. This is exclusive of the $200,000 covered by his bond. Included in tins item is $||>,0M) collect ed from the Post Office Department and never ac counted for. The items are various Blodgett has been writing back to be permitted to return without arrest. N. P. Hotchkiss. $i 4.000. This is exclusive ot $30,000 covered by his bond. It includes ail sorts of comical items, from horses to coal. One item of $875 is for u-e of sleeping car* another for $80 is for whis ky ; $180 for a horse. Vai ney it Gaskill $15,000. Of this $8,500 is the Dobbins money, retaining fees; $l00fortnpto Savannah, making speeches for Green i Line, etc. James Mullens $8,000. This includes do mestic items of house fencing, double pay. etc. A L. Harris $8,000. Switches, not lor thrashing children, are included here. John Rice, proprietor of New Era, $25,000. This is the amount of Stale’s money used to buy the Era from Dr. Bard. I. P. Harris $19,000. There is no attachment heie as the bond of $100,000 covets the amount. The uses to which theState Road money was put were odd and various Buying news papers importing race horses, running turf exchanges, building houses, junketing, etc., etc. Verily we shall never see the like of these Radical jokers again. From Blodgett and Bullock down they constitute the most iniiniiable band of festive yet practical plunderers that the world ever saw. The Atlanta Constitntion, of the 2*2d inst., says; “A diabolical and fiendish attempt was made last Tuesday night, by unknown parties, to run the night passenger train on the State Road off the track, between the Iceville turnout and the Chat tahoochee bridgs, and, tailing to run it ofl on the bridge and precipitate the cars in o the river, we are informed that the ruffians placed several ir< n rails across the track between the turnout and the river, so arranged that the night passenger train from Atlanta, when it struck the pile, would be thrown off the track To make assurance doubly sure, the parties next placed on tlie track at the west end of the bridge an iron chair so as to run the train offou the bridge aud precipitate the cars into the river. Fortunately, this devilish attempt was foiled in time. A freight train of which Mr Woodruff, is conductor, crossed the bridgtqbefore the arrival of the passenger train. I he iron chair was removed, and when tlie cow catcher run into tlie rail pen the train was stopped and the rails re moved. President Brown lias offered five hundred dollars reward for the apprehension of the perpetrator* of this wicked act. Died, in Gainesville, on the 15th inst., Mr. J R Webster, aged 70 years. H. C.

FI.URI I*A 5KW1. The residences of Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Lucas were burned ia Jacksonville Tuesday. Peter Jones, present Mayor of Jacksonville, has been nominated for the position again at the en suing election. The Florida Sun is the name of a new pap-r jnst published at Jacksonville* It is tube in the in terest of the negroes. Ned Dixon, a negro in Jacksonville, was run over Tuesday night by the -Etna Steam Fire En gine, aud killed almost instantly. The United Slates Revenue Assessors for the past week, have been as busy as the ‘‘devil amongst the tailors” with the merchants of Jack sonville, for not having revenue stamps on several articles. These articles were seized in the name of the government The Jacksonville Radical Ku-klux have been talking abont hanging the editor of the Republi can of that place—who, by the way, is a Republi can—for opposing the re-nomination of General Grant.

As the Patriot is the national Democratic organ, echoes the sentiments of the Democratic members of Cougress and the National Democratic executive committee, these comments are full of significance, and therefore worthy of serious perusal aud calm reflection. The politician who cannot read from the signs of tho times that the people are rising in their majesty, and, disgusted with sec tionalism and venality, are determined to make a last vigorous effort to purify the government, and to return to the Con stitution as the only basis of patriotic pol icy, is either a fool or a knave. Patriots of all parties are determined to throw off, for this election, party fetters and make common cause against the leeches who are draining the country of money, depri ving us of justice, and in every way op pressing and abusing the people. Before three months there will he such a rally ing of the popular masses that all will be satisfied that the people are really mov ing. Its magnitude will be such as to thoroughly convince the already disheart ened plunderers who have ruled and rob bed the government, that the day of reck oning i3 at band: that the arrows of Ar- gonatus are now aimed to destroy these modern Harpies, and to purge the tem ples of justice and the chambers of official business of their corrupting pestilence 1 We sincerely believe a bolt is now being forged which will blast the whole up growth of carpet bag corruption, root, stock and branch. The Grant Radicals know, and they tremble a* they contemplate, that if the efforts of the anti-Grant party be harmonized aud directed on a common point, the Radical fortress will tumble in like the house of Dagon, shaken by the wrath of the captive Nazarite. Let us all join the grand phalanx of the people who are marching to overthrow corruption aud to preserve onr liberties. Let no minor differences of opinion distract our councils or impair our euergies. Let ns appeal to the good aud tli8 wise in every State of the Union, by what ever! denomination known, distinguished by whatever politi cal opinions. Let us invoke them by their love of peace, justice and freedom • by their duty to themselves and to posterity; by their recolletions of true glory and just renown of our common country ; by their ambition of giving to the world an endu ring example of a government of laws; by every other motive, let us entreat them to unite in the choice ot a chief magistate of acknowledged wisdom, undoubted firm ness and unsuspected integrity. Let us elect one who, owing his elevation to one party, will owe obligation to none ; who, in feeling aud in conduct, will be Presi dent of the nation; who will ciucerely and zealously aid in bringing hack the goreronment to its original simplisity and purity. We must have a President who will correct the abnsed patronage of the government—its prodigality and corrup tion—in dismissing only its unprofitable servants, retaining aud employing the good and faithful—infusiug into his ad ministration a spirit of moderation and equity—having no other end but the public good, and employing no means that are not plainly constitutional and obvious ly just. What Dyspepsia -Tiny KuH la. Indigestion is cot dangerous, say the faculty.— Perhaps not in it.-elf, while it remains mere indi gestion : but look at the consequences to which i( may lead, and often does lead when it becomes a chronic disease. A spark of tire is a small thing- A pressure of the foot will put it out; a breath wiil extinguish it. Yet it may fire a powder mill or kindle a flame that will consume a city. In like manner indigestion may produce gastritis, cancer of the stomach, congestion cf the bowels, apeplexy, liver disease, and many other dangerous maladies. Is it not wise, then, to check it in the germ ? Nothing is more clearly and indisputably established than that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will eradicate dyspepsia in all its stages. The true policy, however, is to extinguish it in the first stages with this wholesome, powerful, and in fallible tonic and alterative. It is easier to quench a spark than a flame, and it is easier to cure dyspepsia when it is first developed, than when it has made headway by neglect, and be come complicated with other ailments. There is not the shadow of a doubt that the bitters are as directly antagonistic to dyspepsia as water is to fire. Theie are thousands of cases on record proving this fact. The remedy is safe and agree able. All the liqnors of commerce prescribed as stimulants leave a sting beeiud But the sting is taken out of the spirituous basis of this great rem edy by vegetable medication, and, moreover, the stimulant thus medicated i* of exceptional purity. Of all tonics taken as safe-guards or remedies for fever aud ague, billious remittents, and other ep idemics, it is the only one that can uniformly be depended on. 32 lur Hew Ike Blood i* Puriflrd. Experience, as well as science, teaches the im mense importance to health and to physical com fort of the excretory processes. By the excre tory pr* cesses is to be understood all those functions having for their end the discharge of waste matter from the system. When the faculties of mind and body are sensibly dull and obstructed, and when the mere fact of exis tence is burdensome, rather than, as it ought to be a rich blessing, we all know how exhilarating and reviving an effect is brought about by inducing a copious flow of perspiration, or by administering a sufficient purgative. But these remedies are in their nature only temporary. As soon as the effect of the cathartic or sudorific, as the case may be, has exhausted itself, the system ri verts more or less rapidly to its original condition. A remedy to be permanently beneficial must be radical. We must aim at raising the tone and vigour of the system generally, and this is best to be accom plished by the use of a medicine at once tonic and stimulant, such as Dr. Gottlieb Fisch's celebrated Bitters. But this medicine stimulates not only jhe stomach, but as well the other alimentive or gans, chief among which is the liver. Now the special function of the liver is the s-cretion of the bile—a fluid not only essential to the digestive process, but also of the highest utility as the great natuio-appoiuted laxative, the'great natural regu lator of the intestinal functions. This fact renders the Bitters doubly valuable. 33eowlm Stefo Jbbtrlistments. AOKNTt WANTED FOR rilE ILL US THA TED H ISTORY OF THE BIBLE By Wm. SMITH, LLP, taibsy ef Maitb’s Bible Diriitanrf.
