BOVEE D0DS’ IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS A RE COMPOSED OF A PURE and imadultered Wine, combined with Barberry, Solomon's Seal Comfrey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spikenard, t'ammo- mile Flowers and Gentian. They are manufactured by Dr. Dods himself, who is au experienced aud suc cessful Physician, and hence, should not be classed amongtbe quaek nostrums, which floodilie country, and against which the Medical profession are so justly prejudiced. These truly valuable Bitters have not been fairly before the public for one year, and yet there is a heavy demand for them from all parts of the Union. Dr. Frink, No. 30 West 35tb Street, New Y'ork, says: I have been greatly benefitted by using Dr. Dials' Wine Bitters, and am now using them freely aud suc cessfully in my practice. As a medicine for Females I consider them miequah-d.” Dr. Guernsey, No. 18 West ‘23d Street, says: ‘‘I have used Dr. Dods' Wine lifters in my practice, and in all eases where a tonic is required, I consider them unsurpassed, and cheerfully recommend them as a valuable Family Medicine.” Dr. Meucliam.of Florida, says: ‘•For several years 1 suffered all the horrors of Cron- icDyspepsia. 1 used all other remedies without avail. I discarded prejudice and used Dr. Dods Wine bitters which have greatly benefitted me, and I believe will cure me.” Mr. G- S. Weaver, of Albany, N. Y., says: “My wife was sinking rapidly with consumytion; the best physicians in Albanyand New York city' pronounc ed Rer ease hopeless. She used Dr. Dods’ Wine Bit ters; and is cured.” Mr. J. B. Stunts,of Newark, N. J.,snvs: “.My daughter was extremely ill; she lmd been at tended by four of our best physicians; her disease was lnflamation of the Bowels, which had produced ex treme deliilitv. Her ease was considered hopeless by a:! who saw'ni-i. .-, —a 1- i if., a-. - a: Wine Bitters; she used them and is well.” Mr. Brittain, editor of the Runner of Light, in Boston savs: :, I)r. J. Bnvee Dods’ Wine Bitters have cured me of Piles of the worst and obstinate character.’' A distinguished lady of Mobile, Alu., writing to a feninle friend says: “I would advise you to use Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Im perial Wine Bitters. 1 have used them, and consider them a blessing to our sex.” We might write a small volume, and then would not give one fourlh of the Testimonials in our possession, as to the virtue of t hese Valuable Bitters, but we will on ly say that they are approved of by onr best Physicians, are doing much good in all parts of the country, and earnestly entreat the afflicted to try them.

F n r up a great many pairs of winding stairs in his heart is a door: Rod on that door is written M \s. and we must knock at it once, twice, seven times—yea. seventy times seven, that it may open unto us."—John R. Gough. He was an old innn—not so old either, for the years of his life could not have wrink led his forehead, and whitened his hair, and the hands locked together ou the low pine table did not tremble so with weak ness and age; yet very old and very mis erable looked the solitary occupant of that narrow room, or entry, with its faded red curtains, and its atmosphere rendered j almost intolerable by the bar-room into which it opened. A hat bearing unmis takable evidence of long intimacy with “brickbats and the gutter’’ maintained a safe position on one side of the owner’s head; and a pair of elbows thrust them selves through liiscoat-sleeves, in rejoicing consciousness that they could “afford to j he out.” Add to this, reader, a pair of j pants whose original color it would have 1 been a matter of time and study* to de itei mine, and you Lave tbe tout ensemble of I tbe, wretched being who now occupied tbe } ly „fc ll,/. /inl,t C .na.iilin|, wkich Ilf. was ; allowed to frequent in all the village of j Greenfield. And yet that miserable, solitary, friend- \ less creature, sitting there, half stupefied with the effects of last night's revel, and utterly unconscious that outside the May morning has been born of God, with its glorious birth-right of sunshine and dews and bird songs, has a heart; and “far away up a great many pairs of stairs in his heart is a door; covered with cobwebs and dust, and on that door is a word written, which Time and sin have never Leen able to efface; and that word is Man." But nobody ever dreamed of this, and people shook ; heir heads and said, Billy Strong's case was a hopeless one. Had not many kind hearted persons reasoned with him earnestly on the evils of his ways; had not the “Temperance men” gone to him with the pledge, and promised hint employment if he would sign it—and all this had been utterly in vain. Ah, none of them had grouped their way up tbe winding stairs and read tbe name on tbe bidden door there! But, while tbe unhappy man set by tbe pine table that morning, tbe bar-keeper suddenly entered, followed by a lady with soft hazel eyes, and a face that a child would have gone to in any trouble. The old man looked up with a vacant gaze of wonder as tbe bar-keeper offered the lady a chair and pointed to tbe occu pant of the other, saying: “That’s Bill Strong, madam,” and with a lingering stare of surpiise and curiosity, left tlie gentle woman alone with tbe as tonished and now thoroughly sobered man. Tbe soft eyes of tbe lady wandered, with a sad, pitying expression, over old Bill’s features, and then iu a low, sweet voice, sbe asked: “Am 1 rightly informed ? Do l address Mr William Strong?” Alt! with these words the lady bad got ten further up the winding stairs nearer tbe bidden door, than all bad gone before her. “Yes that is my name ma’am” said old Bill and lie glanced down at liu ulmbb^- nttiic and actually tried to bide tbe elbow which was peeping out the farthest, tor it was a long time since be bad been addressed by that name, and, somehow it sounded very pleasant to him. “I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Strong,” said the lady, “I have heard my father speak of you so often, and of the days when you and he were boys together, that I almost feel as if we were old acquain tances. You surely cannot have forgotten Charles Morrison?” “No! no! Charlie and I used to be old cronies,” said old Bill, with sudden anima tion, and a light in his eyes such as bad not been there for many a day except when rum lent it a fitful brilliancy. Ah! tbe lady did not know, as perhaps the angels did, that she had mounted the stairs, and was softly feeling for that un seen door. So she went on: “I almost feel as though I could see the old spot upon which your homestead stood Mr. Strong; I have heard my father de scribe it so often. The hill with its crown of old oaks, at the back of your house, and the field of goldeu harvest-grain that waved in the front. Then there was a green grass plot before the front door, and the huge old apple tree that threw its shadows across it, and the great old-fash ioned portico, and tlie grape vine that crept around the pillars, and the rose-bush that looked in at the bed-room window, and the spring that went flashing and singing through the bed of mint at the side of the house.” Old Bill moved uneasily in his chair, and muscles around liis mouth twitched oc casionally; hut unmindful of this, in the same low sweet tones, the lady kept on: “Many and many were the hours, so father would say, Willie and I, used to pass under the shadow of that old apple- tree, playing at hide-and-seek, or rolling and tumbling about on the grass, telling each other the things we would certainly do when we became men; and then the sunset sets its cap of gold on the top of the oaks, lean see Willie’s mother standing in the front door, with her white cap and check apron, and the pleasant smile that alway’s hovered around her lips, and hear her cheerful voice calling, ‘Gome hoys, coine to supper.’” One after another the big, warm, bles sed tears came rolling down Old Bill’s pale cheeks. Ah! the lady had found the door then. “I was always at home at Willie’s, fath er would say, and used to have my fresh milk and bread, too; and when this had disappeared, Willie would draw his stool to his mother’s feet, lay his head on her lap, and she would tell us some very pleasantstory.it might be of Joseph or David, or some good child who afterward became a great man; and then she would pait Willie’s brown curls from his forehead and in a voice I never can forget, say, “Promise me, Willie, when you go out in the world and its temptations, and your mother is laid down in the church-yard yonder, promise me, child, that her pray- eis and and her memory shall keep you from all evil ways.” “And Willie would lift his laughing bine eyes to her face and say, “I’ll be a first rate man; don’t be afraid, mother.” “And then, after we had said our pray ers, we would go tc bed as happy as the birds that went to their nests in the old apple branches by the window, and just as we were sinking tosleep, we would hear a soft foot-fall on the stairs, and a loving lace would bend over to see if we were nicely tucked up. It is a long time, father would say, after a pause, but sure 1 am that he has never fallen into any evil ways. The memory of his mother would keep him from that.” Rap. rap, rap! went the words of the la dy at the door of that old man’s heart.— Crack, crack, crack! went the door on its rustj* hinges; while far above them both, the angels of God held their breath and listened. But the lady could only see the hubuued man bury his face in his hands, and while his whole frame shook like an aspen leaf, she beard him mnrmur, amid childlike sobs— “My, mother! Oh my mother!” And she knew that the tears that were washing those wrinkled cheeks were wash ing out also many a dark page in the re cord of Old Bill’s past life; so with a silent prayer of thankfulness, she resumed— “But there was one scene my father loved to talk of better than all the rest. It was on tbe morning you were married, Mr. Strong. It was enough to do one’s eyes good, he used to say, to look at them as they walked up the old church-side— he, with his proud manly tread, and she a del ieate, fragile creature, fair as the orange blossoms that trembled in her hair, I re member how clear and firm his voice soun ded through the old church as he promised to love, protect, and cherish the fair girl at his side; aud I know as he looked down fondly upon her, that the very winds of heaven should not visit her face tooroueli- IV. .-mo ~ v ss-.i b r a home made very bright by watchful af fection, and of a dark-eyed boy and a fair haired girl, who came after a while to gladden it: and then you know, he removed to the West and lost sight of you, Mr. Strong.” Once again the lady paused, for the ago ny of the mau before her was fearful to be hold, aftd when she spoke again it was in a lower and mournful tone— “I promised my father previous to liis death, that if I ever visited his native State I would seek out his friend. But when I enquired of you they unfolded a terrible story to me. Mr. Strong; they told me of a broken, de.solate household; of the gentle uncomplaining wife, who went down with a prayer on her lips for the erring husband, broken-hearted to the grave; and of the fair-haired girl they in a little while placed by Iter side. Oh, it is a sad, sad story, 1 have heard of my father’s old friend!” “It was I! It was I! that did it all! I killed them!” said Old Bill, in a voice hoarse with emotion, as he lifted his head from his clasped hands and looked upon tlie lady, every feature wearing such a look of agony and remorse that she shuddered to behold. Wide, wide open stood the door then, and that lady hastened to pass in. A small hand was laid gently upon Old Bill’s aim, and a sweet voice mur mured— Even for all this there is redemption.— In the name of jour mother that loved you in the name of your dying wife and the child that sleeps beside her, 1 ask you will you sign the pledge? “I will,” said Old Bill; and brought down his Land with such a force on the pine table that its rheumatic limbs hard ly regained their equilibrium and he eager ly seized the pen and pledge the lady placed before him, aud when he returned them to her, the name of William Strong !aj- in broad legible characters upon tlie paper. There was an expression, ludicrous from its extreme curosity, on the bar-keeper’s tclCC* «18 l llC Irttlj paeeoJ *Ijronpfli the “shop” after her long interview with Old Bill; and the expression was in no de gree lessened when, in a few moments af ter, Old Bill followed her without stopping as usual, to take his “first glass.” And he never passed over that threshold again. And now, reader, you, whose heart throbs with tenderness and reverence for humanity, fallen, despised, miserable though it may he, remember that some where in the heart of your fellow-man is a door, which, though closed for many years will surely open to the hand that knocks in kindness, and the voice that calls in love. From the Journal of Commerce. The Sentiment nf Virginia. Messrs. Editors:---Permit me to correct an error into which I preceive the North ern journals have fallen, in regard to the tone of feeling in Virginia, as manifested at the late*election for the Convention. As an instance of the error to which a refer, I cite the following paragraph from the news columns of the New York Herald of Tues day, the 25th inst. “The election of delegates to the Vir ginia State Convention look place yester day. The reports that have reached ns indicate that the people have declared against secession.” If Republican or country editors had made this statement I should not have been surprised; but the Herald ought to have been better informed regarding the true state of feeling in Virginia. The er ror is not merely a mistake—a mistate- ment; it is a direct contradiction and athe- sis of tlie fact; it is putting sweet for bitter and light for darkness; and is therefore cal culated to mislead those who have no oth er sources of knowledge. It is true, that for the sake of conve nience, most of the Virginia papers have distinguished the candidates in their re ports. Lj 7 the terms Union and Secession.— These terms, however, though perhaps not well chosen,—are well understood in this latitude—the latter to denote those who favor immediate secession, without subse quent reference to the people; and the for mer to designate such as would advocate, with equal decision and earnestness, se cession before the fourth of March, contin gent upon the exhaustion and failure of all honorable means of conciliation and com promise ad interim. Only in this restric ted and comparative sense can the word Union be pioperly applied to the candi dates in the late canvass, or, indeed, to des ignate any other person in our city of 20,- 000, beyond the number that could be ac commodated in the arm-chairs of the great luxurous parlor at the Astor House; and the proportion would probably be found about the same throughoutthe State. No; Virginia, conservative as she is, and much as she desires the restoration and preser vation of the Union upon honorable and equal terms—is, upon any other conditions for prompt and uncompromising secession. Nous cerrons. Rile upon her Pelion heaped upon Ossa, et alsos monies exstructors, and you cannot keep her down when her pa tiently delayed hour for acton comes.— Therefore, let not our Northern friends de ceive themselves with the vain hope that Virginia is “against secession.” This un belief of Southern will, and purpose and power, is a chronic sin of the North, and like the same sin in other quarter; is in danger of bringing upon them incalculable and remediless evils. May a kind Provi dence prevent. This, indeed, is our only hope.—“The Lord God Omnipotent reign- eth.” L. Petersburg, Va., Feb. 6, 1861. Jefferson Davis.—Jefferson Davis, who has just been chosen President of the Southern Confederacy, was bom June 3, 1808, in what is now Todd county, Ken tacky. While yet an infant, his fatl er Samuel Davis, a Revolutionary soldier in Georgia, removed to Mississippi, and set tled in Wilkinson county. Jefferson Da vis was sent at the usual age to Transyl vania College, Ky„ from which he was transferred in 1824 to the Military Acade my |t West Point, which he left in 1828 with the Brevet appointment of Second Lieutenant. He was in the army about seven years, and distinguished himself in active service on the Western frontiers in the Black Hawk and other Indian wars. With the rank of First Lieutenant of Dragoons, he resigned out of the army in 1835. He then returned to Mississippi, and became a cotton planter in Warren county, where he lived in retirement until abont 1844, when he first took an active part in politics as a Demorrat.—Charleston Courier.

This report is an ex parte anangement of my official conduct, on ex parte testimo ny taken in secret in my absence. It is a labored attempt, by inuendo, and by no means of circumstances in the absence of proof, to fix upon me some undefined com plicity with a robbery of the Government of which I had no knowledge, until abont the time it was publicly disclosed. Now that these charges have been put jnEn form axiri Gnianated from a responsi ble source, 1 pledge myselt To meet tuem by a full response, as soou as the report of this Committee, with the evidence taken* has been printed, and can be examined. JOHN B. FLOYD. The New Sugar Crop.—We have re ceived letters front Cardenas, Colon, Cien- fugos and Tagna, which state that the ef fects of the long continued drough in those districts are already severely felt, and from verbal accounts it appears that the same is the case through the Island. For want of rain the cane that was planted does not grow, and large portions of the fields pre sent a poor appearance. In some of those regions the falling off of the crop is expec ted to be from 15 to 20 per cent, less than the estimates made in the early part cf December, and should tbe dry weather continue much longer, it is feared that the aggregate through the Island will perhaps exceed the higest figure. In the vicinity of Cienfuegos, it is estimated that the crop will only be 75 per cent, of what it was last year. Since writing the above we have seen a letter published in the Diario de la Mari na dated at Cienfuegos on the 22nd Jan uary, from which we make the following extract: “In regard to the crop on the Sugar plantations in this neighborhood, the news is far from satisfactory. Tbe yield on tbe first class estates will, according to tbe opinion of competent persons and also from what I am able to judge from personal ob servation, be at least one-fourth less than what it was last year, owing to the scarci ty of rain during the month of October, and the long continued drough which we have experienced ever since. The enor mous quantity of Sugar cane that is being gathered in the grinding houses is aston ishing, and then to see the small quantity of syrup that is extracted from those im mense piles of cane, shows, at once, that there is little hope for any thing like a fair yield of the crop.”—Cubian Messenger Feb. 3d. Collnftsed —TIid (rrcat abolition hnnso of Bowen, Holmes & Co., part owners of Henry Ward Beecher’s newspaper—the Independent—have faild, The Day Book says: The members of the above firm are shining lights in Beecher’s Church. They have carried a high hand against the sta bility of our Union for years, and having assisted all they could to dissolve it by their infamous priut, the Independent, now propose to pay off their creditors in its stock! This is decidedly cool. This revelation also shows how Abolition pa pers are supported. It seems that $300,- 000 have been invested in this concern, and sunk, for it is not worth three cents to day! Recently they have been getting subscriptions to it by offering a Webster’s Dictionery for every three subscribers for warding $6. Now, at wholesale, the dic tionery mu6t cost them at least $4 50, leaving them 50 cents per year for each subscriber—not enough to pay for the white paper on which their Abolition or gan is printed. The creditors, therefore, who are offered 30 percent, in the stock of tbe Independent will readily see how valuable it is. Beecher’s church seems to be in a bad way. With the failure of Bowen, Holmes & Co., and Freeland, Squires & Co., its two greatest props have been knocked out. Not long since, however, their pas tor exhorted all his followers to feel thank ful that they lived m times when they had the opportunity to make great sacrifices for the cause of “negro freedom.” We trust the glory of their great cause is suffi cient consolation in this the hour of their trial. How utterly worthless are wealth and all sublonary possessions, as long as there is a negro on the American conti nent safe from the tender mercies of the gallant King of Dahomey/ The Rhode Islander's Mistake.—The following amusing incident we find in the Louisville Journal. A Rhode Islander traveling out West, after taking several drinks, went on board the steamboat for Cincinnati, and was as tonished that the clerk only took five cents for his fare. Soon after another five cents was called for, and the same thing repeat ed several times. At last he asked “is (hie) this a danger (hie) ons boat!” “By no means,” said the clerk, “bran new.”—- “Then, (hie) why do (hie,) don’t yon col lect all the fa (hie) hair at once, and not bother a fel (hie) her for it every mile as it comes due?” “Really, where do you think yon are going?” ‘Cincin (hie) hinnati.’ “Cincinnati,” said the conductor. “Thia is tbe ferry-boat, and all this afternoon you have been tiding to and tro between New Albany and Portland.” ——— While walking down College street last Sunday evening. “The Subscriber” came up with two negro boys, “aged respec tively ten and fifteen years.” The youn ger one carried an apple in his hand, and tbe elder one was using all bis eloquence to obtain “jes one bite” of it. “Well,” said tbe younger one finally, “I’ll give you jes one bite but don’t you take no more’* jes one bite.” 1 be larger one took the apple, opened a month that would have been creditable to a hundred-and-fifty pound cat-fish, and brought it down on tbe fruit, leaving a very small share on the outside. “Good God, Jim!” said the little one looking up at the operation with astonish ment, “yon take the apple and give me the bite! ”— Nashville Patriot- The ice crop of the Hudson has juat commenced; the ice is eight inches thick. . j i i ! 3 i i i
