T. B UNDERWOOD, Guardian DR. J. BOVEE DODS’ IMPERIAL WINE BITTERS A RE COMPOSED OF A PURE and unadultered Wine, combined with Barberry, Solomon's Seal Comffey, Wild Clierry Tree Bark. Spikenard, Unmmo- mile Flowers and Gentian. They are manufactured by Dr. Dod* himself, who is an experienced and suc cessful Physician, and hence, should not be classed among the quack nostrimis, which flood the country, find against which the Medical profession are so justly prejudiced. These truly valuable Bitters have not been fairly before the public for one year, and vet there is a heavy demanu for them from all parts of the Union. Dr. Frink, No. 30 West 35th Street, New Yoik, say s: I have been greatly benefitted by using Dr. Dods’ W iue Bitters, and am now using them freely and suc cessfully in my practice. As a medicine for Females I consider them unequaled." Dr. Guernsey, No. 18 West 23d Street, says: “I have used Dr. Dods* Wine Bitters in my practice, ami in all cases where a tonic is required, I consider them unsurpassed, and cheerfully recommend them as a valuable Family Medicine.” Dr. Meacham, of Florida, says: For several years 1 suffered all the. horrors of Cron- ic Dyspepsia. I used all other remedies without avail. I discarded prejudice and used Dr. Dods’ Wiue bitters which have greatly benetitted me, and I believe will cure me.” Mr. G- S. Weaver, of Albany, N. Y., say«: “My wife was sinking rapidly with cousninytion; the best physiciansin Albany aud New York city pronounc ed her case hopeless. She used Dr. Dods’ Wine Bit ters; ami is cured.” Mr. J. B. Staats.of Newark, N. J.,says: “My daughter was extremely ill; she had been at tended by four of our best physicians; her disease was Inflamation of the Bowels, which had produced ex treme <iebilily. Her <-a«e was consnlered hopcles*- by all who saw l»er. A friend recommended Dr. Dods’ Wine Bitters; she used them aud is weil. ,, Mr. Brittain, editor of the Banner of Light, in Boston Piles of the worst and obstinate character.’* A distinguished lady of Mobile, Ala., writing to a female friend says: “1 would advise you to use Dr. J. Bovee Dods’ Im perial Wine Bitters. 1 have used them, aud consider them a blessing to our sex.” We might write a small volume, and then would not give one fourth of the Testimonials in our possession, as to the virtue of these Valuable Bitters, but we will on ly say that they are approved of by our best Physicians, are doing much good in all parts of the country, ami earnestly entreat the afflicted to try them.

A friend of the Day-Book, in Texas, sends us the following copy of the resolu tions passed by tbe General Council of the Choctaw Nation on the 2Sth January:--- Resolved, by the General Council of the Choctaw Nation Assembled, That we view with deep regret and great solicitude the present unhappy political disagreement be tween the people of the Northern and Southern States of the American L ilian, tending to a permanent dissolution of the General Government and the distui bailee of the various important relations existing with that government ly treaty stipulation and international laws, and much injury to the Choctaw Government and people. Resol red further, That we must express the earnest desire and ready hope enter tained by the entire Choctaw people, that any and all political disturbances agita ting and dividing the people of the vari- ours States may be speedily and honora bly adjusted, and the example, blessing and fostering care of the General Govern ment, and the many friendly and social ties existing writh other people, continue for the enlightenment in morals, and good government and prosperity in material concerns of life to our whole population. Resolved further, T hat in the event of a permanent dissolution of the American Union takes place, our many relations with the General Government must cease, and we shall belelt to follow the natural affections, education and interest of out people which indisoiuldy Lind ns in every way to the destiny of our neighbors ar.d brethren of the Southern States, upon whom we are confident we can rely for the preservation of our rights, of life, liberty and prosperity, and the. continuance of the many acts of friendship, generous counsel and mateiial support. Resolved further. That we desire to as sure our immediate neighbors, the people of Arkansas and Texas, of our determina tion to observe the amicable relations, in every way, so long existing between us. The firm reliance we have amid any dis turbance affecting their relations with other States, the right and feelings so sa cred to us, will remain respected by them, and be piotected from tlie encroachments of others- Resolred further, That his excellency, the principal Chief, be requested to en close an appiopriate c mmunicatii n, a copy of these resolutions to the Gnvernois of the Southern States and the request that they he laid before fhe State Conventions of such States as may not have assembled at tbe date of reception. Otherwise they may- he published in the newspapers of such States. Resolved further, That these resolutions take effect and be in force from and after their passage. American Giil* ami Jfatrimony. American girls of good education, says Haper’s Weekly, do not kriow how lucky they are. Every American girl who is s tne and soui d—and many who are neither the one nor the other—has not one, but many- chances of marriages. It is very- different in Europe. In the country towns in England marrying men are rare that it is quite common to ste a dozen charming girls, as well educated, pretty, and lady like, fighting for a half starved curate or a wretched attorney.—Among English moth ers matcli-inaking is carried on to an ex tent wholly unknown here; and not from mean motives, but from she re necessity In France no father expects his daughter to get a husband unless she buys him Every- man who has a daughter begins when she is ten years old to save money to buy a husband. Papa aud mama deprive themselves of the luxuries, and even ne cessities, to amass a respectable sum. The boy’s education is cut short in order to swell the daughter's purse. In piopoi- tion to its size is the quality of her bus band. A father who can give his (laugh ter half a million of fiancs will expect a Geneial or a Senator, and soon, down.— In Germany, and indeed throughout Eu rope, a father who expects his daughter to marry, must buy a husband. In America hearts are conquered, not bought. Any good girl, however poor, can always if she will outain a husband—and one she will be proud of, and every way- worthy of her hand and heart.

Lithography is an art of such dissemina tion, and performs so important an office in the great business of publishing, that few persons probably think how very recently it was discovered. George Scharf, a well known engraver, who died near London recently, at the nge of seventy-two, was the first artist who practiced lithography in England. He was born near Munich in the year 1788, and learned the ait from Sonufelder, who invented it. He had re sided in England forty-four years. —Miuie, the inventor of the rifle bear ing his name, supervises an immense work shop in Paris.

In France he is known as the great authority of firearms; and it was to him, therefore that the Em peror appealed for advice when the 1m per ial Guard was to canned.

At Philadelphia he says, in closing, that “he may have been indiscreet.” This is equal to saying it will not answer for me to state frankly and honestly my opinions: At Harrisburg he says that “his Pittsburg speech was very carefully worded.” What a confession for the President of the United States, that he is going around the countr\ deceiving the people, like a harlequin ora ventrilouuist! Lincoln not only leaks out the double-dealing policy of his party, but he even tells the people that he fears hi- has leaked it out! He evidently has not even sense enough to play 31arplot. He is a regular botch.

In tillage, this can best be accomplished by frequent stirring of the soil, so as to keep it light and loose on the smface. which then serves as a nonconductor of moisture and retains it beneath, where the roots obtain a supply. On the contrary, when the earth is hard and compact, it cracks open and peimits the moisture to pass awav, from a great depth in a season of drought. ! Iiese, who have not wit nessed trom experiment and observation tlie advantage ot a pulverized surface as a protection to plants against drought, are not likely to conceive its effect to be so great as it is, although tlie thing plausi ble and rational. Corn and other crops that have been well hoed in extremely dry seasons, have flourished, while parts ot the same fields left for experiment were rendered baren, and the crops worthless— "here the crops were fiequently stirred and kept pulverized on the service, there was a constant moisture to be observed a tew inches deep from the top; but where the earth remained unmoved, it was dried to a great depth. A narrow strip of land was left for turnips and remained fora considerable time unploughed; here, the soil became dry, below the usual depth of j loiighing, and even tlie weeds perished -or want <>t moisture; while at the side ot this strip, weeds of the same species on the edge of tlie plowed land, were fresh and vigorous, and the soil was dry, only a very few inchesfiom the surface. Where grain was sown, the earth was hard and dry to the depth of six or seven inche.6. w hile, by the side of it, where the soil was stiircd occasionally, a very considerable degree of moisture was found at the depth ot only three or four. On this subject, an intelligent cultivator observed, he would rather have half a dozen men employed stirring the earth to keep it loose and fine dui ing a severe drought, than in watering the crops.— hxchange. Creditable to Printers.—The Missouri Legislature recently adopted a resolution that the public printing be done by con victs, but the resolution fell still-born from tbe table, because it was acertained that of all the criminals iu the penitentiary not one was a printer.

Here’s another from More’s Rural New Yoiker: Borax powder sprinkled about the kitch en. closets, pantries, sinks, drawers, &c.. within the course of a few days, almost completely exterminates roaches, with which uearly every house in the city is infested.

I iacalw Immortalized. Mr. Abraham Lincoln has succeeded in immortalizing himself at the expense of disgracing his country. What he may do in the futuie remains to be seen; that he disguised himself in a t'coH h cap and a un itary cloak.and dodged into Washington between two days, will remain a fact in history that can only be accounted for, either by writing him down a coward, or the American people, what the Republican papers charge them to he, assassins!— Either horn of the dilemma involves a re sult that no American can contemplate without shame. The President of the United States, a coward! The man to step into the seat of Washington and Jack- son, indulging in fears over absurd rumors of assassinations! The Comnmnder-in- Chief of tlie Army and Navy of the United States, stealing into flic capital of ti e na tion as a criminal or an outlaw evades the officers of justice! Purely, if there are good reasons for these precautions, then have the American people sadly degener ated. Assassinations have never been a feature in tlieir history. Cowardly and stealthy crimes have ntver distinguished us as a nation, and such an instisuticn against the people of Baltimore, distin guished as they are for graceful hospitality audgeuuiue politeness, is an insult of a most atrocious char; cter. Distinguished men, we are told, instiga ted this plot against Mr. Lincoln’s life.— Justice to all concerned demands that an instant investigation be made, and if there be any ground for this statement, that the authors of the plot be promptly and sum marily exposed and punished. We do not doubt that tlie citizens of Baltimore will at once insist that this be done. As for ourselves, we have no hesitation in saying that we regard the whole thing as a stupendous humbug. 'The American people are not assassins, and the whole af fair has been conjured »ij> in the milids of a few weak and timid old grannies, who have succeeded in humiliating every American in tlie eyes ot tlie nations of the world.— Mr. Lincoln’s friends belong to the Feder al school iu politics, and have no confi dence in the honest masses. They believe in a “strong government,” and hence their terrified imaginations conjure up all sorts of “phantoms and gorgons dire,” when they think theie is any discontent amoug the people. That Mr. I.incoln was only frightened at the supposed danger of passing through Baltimore, is perfectly apparent. First, it is alleged, that the 9 o’clock special train trom Harrisburg, which was expected to convey the Presidential party, was to be tlnown off tlie track, and all on board killed. The proof that they did not be- lieve this story themselves is, that Mrs. Lincoln and the remainder of the party went to Baltimore iu this very train; that it was not obstructed m any way. and that the people along the route were quite as well behaved, if not as enthusiastic, as elsewheie, and could scarcely he convinced that Mr. Lincoln himself was not on board. And even when the party arrived at Baltimore, the people theie were equally *:iwilling to believe that Mr. Lincoln had committed so undignified and so cowardly an act as logo on during the night, as it was, just then, for the first time, currently repotted he had. '1 lie people insisted that Mr Lincoln was among the party, and it was not until positively assuried that such was not the case, that any manifes tations of ill-feeling showed themselves. Theu. it is said, that Mis. Lincoln had the satisfaction of hearing the people send up loud groans ol indignation at the couduct of fier hsubaud. Thus ends the journey of Abraham Lin coln to Washington. He commenced by imploring tbe protection of Providence and the favor of tlie people, and ended by distrusting both, and putting all bis confi dence in a Scotch cap and a military cloak! If lie was afraid to pass through Baltimore, wliat must be his feelings in Washington? True, be is under the aegis of Gen. Scott’s protection, and a Pisetorian Guard, tor the fiist time, stands -entinel over an American President! But he will need ever, more than soldiers to protect him, lot they are but men, and like Elaga- balus, he may tall by Ins own guards. He will be compelled to resort to steel night caps and dagger-proof blankets Just think of Jackson miming for fear, and in such a manner! On one occasion, in the life of the old hero, he was informed that an enemy of his, who had threatened his life, and with whom he had long had a ter rible feud, was on bis way with a party of friends to punish him. He was stopping at a hotel in some small town in Tennes see, and bis friends advised him to close his door and prepare for the worst. “Open that door,” shouted Jackson at the top of his voice. “Give my compliments to Mr. , and say that Andrew Jackson will be happy to see him.” The effect was magical. The enemy melted before such courage and no fight occurred. If Abra ham Lincoln, when he heard tlie rumor that the Main was to be thrown off the track, had said. “I go now any how, 1 fe or death; and wliat is more, I shall ride with the engineer so that 1 may be amoi g tlie first Li,.ed if any aie :o be”—i. he had done this Le would to-day have Leea thrilling the hearts of the American people with his lieioism, instead of making tin m fee? humiliated and chagrined at his ci wa d- ioe. It a no wonder that C >1. ISiiinner wept with indignation at the unmanly con duct. It was only a wotidi r that tvjn M rs Lincoln, with something like Spar- ton heroism, had not preferred to see her husband dead than dishonored. If there had been real danger that the Republican paper declare tlieie was, that is just the very reason why he should have met it. After he had heard of the threats against him, if he had been a man of spirit, he would have gone through Baltimore, if the citizens of that p ace had cut him into inch pieces! As it is. we write it down with sorrow and shame, that the North is disgraced in the person of its 1'resident. Do let us annex ourseB es to Canada or the Southern Confederacy!
