Some of :ase acts have been approved, but many an uiileii. The Bishop of Puebla has addressed a long cotn aanication to the President, to vindicate his con duct in the revolution of Haro y Tamariz. lie ad mits having loaned money, but denies having aid ed in any other manner to advance his cause. The reply of the Minister of Justice is stinging, hand tig the Bishop without gloves, and showing most ! inclusively that without the assistance of the ' d-Tgy there would have been no bloodshed. Admiral Zerman, of the La Paz expedition to j.wer California, has gone to the State of Guerre- • in to confer with Gen. Alvarez, but the General has refused to hold anv intercourse with him. In a note to Zerman lie says, among other things : "Abusing my name, you have attempted to make ue an object ot ridicule, in gratuitously supposing that I approved of the expedition which you took tu Lower California. Such conduct is worthy of a iun who bears upon him the base mark of a filli uater.” Our readers will remember that, two weeks ago, we predicted this reception to the Ad miral. On the other hand, it is said that the American Minister has peremptorily demanded the immediate release of the bark llebecca Adams, iptured along with Zerman and the Americans. Nearly two hundred prisoners, who were officers, with Harov Tamariz, have been sent to the State , f Guerrero, for safe-keeping, where'Gen. Alvarez. ~s objected to keep tlieia, alleging a want of f inds and ability to keep them quiet. Accounts ■reived from them represent their condition a-, ploralde, being reduced to absolute want, which has to be supplied by public and private ■haritv. Restrictions on the liberty of the press are being gradually taken off, and some fines imposed on editors Lave been remitted. Some important changes in the Ministrv will 1 nun take place, of which information may be ex pected bv the next steamer. Gen. Parrodi is now acting Minister of \Var, as Gen. Yanez has re signed. The utmost harmony exists m the Cabi net, and the President is, at the present time, in high favor with the people and with Congress. There is to be no “let up' against the clergy and military ; both are to be thoroughly subjected to the civil authority. The military have also received some particular attention from the Government. Gen. Craga lias asked leave to quit the country, which lias been granted along with a passport for that purpose. Much excitement has been created here in rela tion to the imprisonment or rather banishment of Gen. La Vega to the Castle of Perote. It seems that he has committed a grave offence—l might sav a double offence, being both against military regulations and public opinion. The General has presumed to censure, in print, the conduct of the Government in reducing to the ranks of common soldiers, the generals, chiefs, and officers, who paticipated in the late revolution of llaro y Tama riz. He has publicly declared that the decision upon the 4th article of the capitulation has been unjust and unmerited. By that article, it will be remembered, the rebel officers wore to remain 1:1 the army in such manner as the Executive should determine, and tbs Executive has deter mined that they shall remain as common soldiers. For once, Gen. La Vega has forgotten his usual prudence. Being the pet officer of the whole ar uy, with immense prestige, never having partici pated in any pronuneiamento, and having always been obedient to the actual Government, he lias acquired a reputation for honesty and patriotism equalled by few iiPthe whole country. You re us ruber he commanded the artillery at Palo Alto, where he was takeu prisoner. Being exchanged, he was again made prisoner at Cerro Gordo; on both occasions he stood to his guns to be captured with them. Since the last abdication of Santa Anna, lie was for a few weeks the head of the Gov ernment; but he gracefully yielded to Alvarez, and more recently was actively employed at the side of President Comonfort, in the siege of Pue bla. La Vega is, no doubt, deeply disgusted with the abolition ot the fuer< < or privileges of the ar my. None of the old officers can view with com placency this sweeping away of those rights which heretofore have given them a pre-eminent con sideration in the State. He has consequently vio lated the military ord-nansa in presuming to cen sure a military act of his military superior in com mand. Consequently he was immediately order ed into confinement, for three months, in the Cas tle nf Perote. An amnesty has been accorded to the prisoners taken at Puebla, and to all others engaged in that rebellion. They are permitted to leave the coun 'ry, and are not to return for four years ; or, if re • oug in it, they are prohibited from holding any ' ■ uployment for the same period. The gen • ".i’s an 1 chiefs are to remain as common soldiers ■ t six years ; the other officers arc dismissed from the army, to reside at places designated by the Ex ecutive, and not to hold office of any kind. The decree of President Alvarez, of last Xovent tir, abolishing the privileges ifueros) of the church and military, came up last week, in Con gress, for ratification by that body. This decree ’ called here the law of Juares, as that Seuor was the Minister of Justice who signed and published it. It was ratified all but unanimously. It takes away all civil and criminal jurisdiction from mili tary tribunals, and all civil jurisdiction from the ecclesiastical courts, leaving tu the clergy cogni .nice of only criminal cases against priests oi other rtliy'Mmt. This law is crushing to the fieri cal and military aristocracy, heretofore triablf only by their peers in all eases, both as regard; crimes and property. Hereafter thev will be m better than lay plebeians before the laws; with tin same rights and no more than a lepero. A Classical Congress.— The best jokes afloat ii the Capital are located in the room of tlie Commit tee on the District of Columbia.

The Island of Ruatan. When the Convention between the United States and Great Britain, known as the Clayton-Bulwcr Treaty, was concluded in 1850, it was understood between Sir Henry liulwer and Mr. Clavton, that i the provisions of the Convention shoufd not ex tend to the British settlement of Belize in the State of Honduras, nor to “ the small islands in the neighborhood of that settlement, known as its i dependencies.” This exception was made on ac- 1 count of the limited right of settlement for certain specified objects, accorded to Great Britain by the ' Crown of Spain, by the treaty of 1783, and the supplementary Convention of 1786, and for the i purpose, also, of defining the limits of British sov ereignty, protectorate, or settlement, in Central ; America. the course of the year 1851, a proclamation ! " f‘ s Tssued by the British government, erecting the islands of Ruatan, Bonacca, Utilla, Helene, Bar narat and Moxat, situated on the coast of Central ) America, into a Colony, under the name of the i.V ii ' , proclamation was immediate- ■ !?. billowed bv a Royal warrant, placing these 1 islands under the government of the Governor of ' Jamaica, and detailing the laws by which the gov ernment was to be administered. The island of Ruatan is situated on the coast of the State of Honduras, about forty miles from Iruxillo; is healthy, fertile, and possesses large and commodious harbors, and great facilities for tlia erection of strong fortifications. This island, 1 together with the five others included in the Colo . nv of the “Bay Islands,” is claimed as one of the small islands in the neighborhood of the English settlement of Belize, and as one of the dependen cies of that settlement, although these islands are 1 fully two hundred miles distant from Belize, and I although they have not and never had any’ geo- : graphical or political connection with that settle- : meat, and are distinctly adjacent to, and obvioush dependencies of, the Central American State of i Honduras. —When this proclamation and warrant, by virtue of which these inlands on the coast of Honduras were seized, colonized and occupied by the British were made known in this country, our government naturally regarded it as an open violation of the Clavtou-Bulwer convention, and as a direct- con tradiction aud annulment of the object of which that convention was entered into, namely, to pre vent either the United States or Great Britain fram exercising, or possessing any right to exer cise control over the Isthmus passage connecting the two oceans. The occupation and colonization of Ruatan were considered a clear violation of the terms ot the treaty, and diametrically opposed to the principle upon which, and the purpose for which that treaty was concluded. Ruatan could not he considered a small island in the neighbor hood of British Honduras, hut a large and valua ble island, upwards of two hundred miles distant from the British settlement, close to the indepen dent State of Honduras, and the most important naval and military station within the waters of the Isthmus. It was natural, therefore, that our Gov ernment should energetically remonstrate against what would appear such a manifest violation of the spirit if not of the letter of the treaty of ls. Vi. It may he that the repnblication, bv* order of the British government, of the terms of the Kov al Warrant creating the colony of the Bay Island's, was not considered a matter of anv special im portance, but there are many who, considering the present slate of affairs between the two countries, attach a great deal of significance to the fact, and construe it as a declaration on the part of the responsible advisers of Her Majesty, .if their fixed intention to adhere to their interpretation ot the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, and to retain their domin ion “of sufferance and custom,” irrespective of rc , monstrance, over these islands belonging to Cen * tral America. The warrant declares that the isl ands are “in the Buy of Honduras,” and that they tire thereby “erected into a colony.” It bears date March 26th, 1852. The Clavtou-Bulwer trea ty. declaring that neither the United States nor Great Britain will “ever occupy, or fortify, or col onize. or assume or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, tile Mosquito Coast, or any part of Central America, or make use of anv protection which either affords or may afford, or any alliance which either has or may have to or j with any State or people, for the purpose of erect- I ing or maintaining any such fortifications, or of occupying, fortifying, or colonizing Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part of • Central America, or ot assuming or exercising do minion over the same,” was formally ratified bv both contracting parties on the 4tn July, 1850, nearly two years prior to the warrant, by virture of which the Queen of Great Britain exercises dis tinct dominion over a portion of Central America, “erects aolony” and “occupies a territory,” to which she had renounced all claim, either past, present, or prospective. An impartial student of the terms and intent of both these documents would discover an obvious inconsistency be tween them, and would naturally conclude, as does the United States government, that the warrant is a violation of the treaty. Lord Palmerston maintains the reverse. It remains to be seen wheth er the British Parliament will sustain his views, or pronounce them inconsistent with good faith and subversive of the true intent and meaning of the Treaty. from the Southern Farmer.

Prime, Esq., dated Jerusalem, February j , 21st, and published in the New York (Aeiriyi-, ! ~ contains the following extract: I No better evidence of the change of Mohante- c danism is needed, than the fact that the Mosque j , of Omar at Jetusalem, which has been so long j guarded from Christain intrusion, is uow opened to j them, and that yesterday a party of twelve Amer- j ican gentlemen and three ladies went through its j sacred enclosures. It was not accomplished with- t out some difficulty, but the money of travellers t has found its wa v into the hearts of the Moslems, , and lias vastly relaxed their religious severity. ( The Pasha has granted several orders recently j admitting English and French travellers to the mosque, but England and Fiance rule here now, and America is unknown. Hence, in the Pasha’s absence, his agent here would not take the respon sibility of admitting to the great harem; but the chief of the soldiery, Hashain-Aga, volunteered < ■in consideration of sundry gold pieces) to open > the gates for us. The fanaticism of ihe servants < of the mosque is unabated, and without a proper ] order or guard it. is dangerous for a Christian to i approach and impossible for him to enter. Hash- 1 am-Aga gave 11s a guard of thirty soldiers, who j i accompanied 11s, and we entered the grand court at one o’clock, and remained in the mosque and in : the great crvpts under it, for two or three hours, 1 examining everything; and as you remember that , this is the site of the temple ot Solomon, and the enclosure of the court is considered identical in ; size and shape with the court or enclosure of the | temple, and the crvpts antedate the Christian era, j | you may imagine the interest with which 1 went over this hitherto unexplored ground. I believe that M. is the tirst American lady who has ever been on the ground of the temple of Solomon, itn- 1 less it be that one or two of the residents here, , missionaries, or others, may have gonq in hereto- ■ fore in disguise as Mohnmedan women. I shall not attempt here to give you any description of 1 the mosque or its surrounding points of interest ; I mention the matter only as illustrating the grad- j ual relaxation of Moliamedan structures.

Approved May 14, 1858. Mr. Clavton and Mr. Crampton. In the United States Senate, on the 14tli inst., Mr. Clavton' made the following statement, which was referred to in a telegraph dispatch a few days ago: Mr. Clayton said Hint he had been much sur prised this morning to see in some of the newspa pers what purported to be an extract of a letter lroin Air. Crampton to Lord Clarendon, dated I W ashingtou, March 31,1858, which was as follows: j “ it will be within your lordship’s recollection ! that Mr. Clayton was informed by Sir Henry Bui- : wer, before the treaty of 1850 was signed, that ; Ruatan was de jure and de facto a British posses sion ; aud Mr. Clayton has, on various occasions since, in conversation with me, stated that lie con sidered Ruatan as much a British possession as Jamaica or anv other British West India island.” Mr. C. said that this statement was utterly un- I true in every part of it; and the British minister must have labored under a hallucination as strange as ever entered the brain of any man to have iqaile such a statement. Nothing like that had ever es caped him, in conversation with Mr. Crampton or any one else. Fortunately for him, the fact did not rest merely upon the statements of Mr. Cramp- I ton aud himself; but he had a living witness to rc j fer to. Before doing so, however, lie would call j the attention of the Senate to a letter written bv Mr. Crampton, aud read to the Senate by himself | on the 12th of January, 1854, in the course of a : speech in which he was endeavoring to prove that Ruatan was not a dependency of Belize, and was not exempted from the provisions of the treaty of I 1850. He had Mr. Crarnptou’s own testimony on the subject, which lie then read to the Senate, and he proposed to read it again now for the purpose j of contradicting this statement, which was made | known to him this morning for the first time, and , of which he had not the most remote conception, j Great Britain now rested her claim to the island of i Ruatan entirely on the assumed fact that it was a ! dependency of Belize ; that was the ot:lv ground j upon which she pretended to have any title to it. ; in the debate in the Senate upon that very ques- i tiou, Mr. C. had produced a letter from Mr. Cramp- i ton, m which tiiat gentleman had said, “ the do- j pendencies of British Honduras are, in my opin- j ion, distinctly enumerated in the treaty of 1788.” j Mr. Crampton had consulted the records of his le gation, and after doing so, he arrived at the con clusion deliberately, and after a full examination, that the dependencies of British Honduras were distinctly enumerated in the treatv of 1788. Now, ihat treaty described the small islands that were dependencies of Belize, viz: Saint George’s Kev, aud those small islands embraced in a triangle i within the distance of three or four miles from ’ Belize. These islands, then, having been marked j out and “ distinctly enumerated” iu the treaty of j 1786, the irresistible conclusion was, that Ruatan, which was at a considerable distance from Belize, ! and was not among tlie dependencies distinctly j enumerated, was not exempted from the provisions I of the treaty according to the admission of Mr. ! Crampton lnmself. Mr. C. proceeded to say that while he was de- , taiued at his lodgiugs bv sickness in February or I March last, he was called upon by the Senator I from Kentucky, Mr. Crittenden,] and while they I were engaged in conversation upon this subject, Mr. Crampton came in to invite Mr. Clavton to ; dilie with him ; being too sick to accept the invi- : tation, lie took the opportunity to ask Mr. Cramp- i ton if lie knew anything of tho report or charge! thut he [Mr, Clayton] had ever admitted to him that Ruatan was exempted from the operation of j the treaty of 1850. Mr. Crampton m the most un- j qualified terms acknowledged that there was no ; truth in the report that Mr. Clayton liad ever made i anv such intimation to him. Sir. Crittenden corroborated the statement of Mr. Clayton, lie could not now pretend to detail the conversation at which lie was thus accidently j present; but, according to his recollection, the ; substance of it was as related by the Senator from j Delaware, and directly contrary to the statement ; in the published letter of Mr. Crumpton. Mr. Clayton remarked that lie had made speech after speech in the Senate, the object of which was j to prove the direct reverse of what the letter had represented him as admitting. He was willing to put the most charitable construction upon it, but it was an utter and total mistake. Mr. Cass thought it was very certain that the i Senator from Delaware, unless m some fit of in- ‘ sanity, could never have said to Mr. Crampton | what was attributed to him. ill . Pratt inquired what evidence there was of the authenticity of the letter a- (published m the newspapers, lie thought it most probable that there was some mistake about it. Mr. Clayton had no knowledge as to the authen- ] ticity of the letter. When his attention was call ed to it this morning he was never more astonish ed in his life; and 0S he found it in the public prints, he felt that his ill's I duty was to prove that the statement, no matter by whom it was made, 1 was false. If Mr. Crumpton never made such a statement, lie could not be injured by these re marks ; but if he did make it, it was for him to explain it. The letter had gone forth to the coun try through the newspapers of the day; and until it was denied.or disavowed, ho was bound to sup pose that it was a genuine document, hut he should ire very happy to he assured of the contrary. Subsequently, Mr. Fish, at the request of Mr. Clavton, stated that lie had repeated conversations during iliepresent session with Mr. Crampton in relation to the subject «>f Central American affairs, and Mr. C. had told him that Mr, Clayton always denied the British title to Ruatan. He thought it doubtful whether the letter which the Senator . from Delaware had read was an authentic one. Mr. Cass remarked that Great Britain had here tofore only claimed Ruatan and the other Bay islands on the principle, that they bad been spon taneously settled by British subjects; but it was the usual course of’ that government, when they! were driven from one point to fall back upon an other, and another, and another ; and this might; be one of their new discoveries. From the Journal of Commerce, Jr., May 15. The New Rules of Maritime T.nw. The declaration made by the Plenipotentiaries j who lately assembled 111 ('engross at Paris, re- ■ speeding maritime law, will work an important i change in the law of nations, and give increased I protection to neutral commerce. On the part of Great Britain, it is tho surrendci’ of pretensions to which she iuts ever clung, on the strength of her . < maritime supremacy, and as the result of a sup- ’ posed acquired and incontcstible right, which had the-effect to give unnecessary malignity to all her ! ; contests (excepting the one with RussiaV, and to; damage-other commercial nations. The Plenipt » tentiaries declare that— i 1- Privateering is, and remains, abolished. ‘J. That the neutral flags cover enemy's goods, with the exception of contraband of war. 3. Neutral goods, with the exception of contra haml ot war, tire not liable to capture under ene my’s flag. i '4. Blockades, in order to be binding, must be effective; that is to say, maintained by a force sufficient really to prevent access to the coast of the enemy. Las Casas, in his interesting memoirs of the ; conversations of Napoleon at St, Helena, informs j us that the Emperor was led on one occasion to re view the subject of his maritime quarrel with Eng land, and that be observed, “ Her ; retentions to ; 1 blockade on paper produced my famous Berlin de i cree. The British Council, in a lit of resentment, i issued its orders, which established a right of toll upon the seas. I instantly replied by the celebra ted Milan decrees, which denationalized even I flag that submitted to the English acts, and it was then that the war became ill England truly j personal.” t (The United States lias ever protested against paper blockades, and has ever maintained that the > law of war did not permit injury to neutrals or ; tlicir property, whether upon rivers or the ocean, or in whatever vessels. In our treaty with Russia, concluded at Washington in July, 185-1, there are the following articles: The two high contracting parties recognise as permanent and immutable the following princi ples : t 1. That free ships make fret- goods — that is to say, that the effects or goods belonging to subjects or citizens of a power or State at warjare free from j capture and confiscation wheu found on board of neutral vessels, with the exception of articles con traband of war. 2. That the property of neutrals on board an j enemy’s vessel is not subject to confiscation, unless the same be contraband of war. They engage to apply these principles to the commerce and uavi , gation of all such powers and States as shall cou . sent to adopt them on their part as permanent and : immutable —reserving a right to consider in what 1 manner the first article shall be thus applied. The declaration that free ships make free goods, | was sturdily opposed by Great Britain up to the time of the war with Russia. During that war i she yie'ded this ground, which the Queen thus an t ; nounced: “To preserve the commerce of neutrals from all unnecessary obstruction, her Majesty is willing, for the present, to waive a part of the bel ligerent rights appertaining to her bv the law o nations. * * Her Majesty will waiVe the rich! J of seizing enemy s property laden on board a neu tral vessel, unless it be contraband of war ” Tlu treaty was invited bv Mr. Marcy who ! m his despatch to our Minister at St. Petersburg thus expresses himself: “ I have thrown out the ! suggestion to Great Britain and France to adopt this as a rule to be observed in all future wars-” and hence the United States mav properlv lav i claim to the establishment of this 'doctrine. ' It will be recollected that the President in his I annual Message in 1854, noticed a suggestion of ; the King of Prussia to connect the abolishment of privateering with the proposed settlement of the | rights of neutrals on the sea, and that it was disa ! greed to, on the ground set forth by the President | that the commerce of a nation having compnra | tivelv a small naval force would be at the mercy i of its enemy, in case of a war with a power of deci ded naval superiority. “The Navy of the first I maratime power in Europe,” said the President, “is at least ten times as large as that ofthe United j States. The foreign commerce of the nations is | nearly equal, and about equally exposed i to hostile depredations. In war between that : power and the United States, without resort j on our part to our mercantile marine, the means j of our enemy to inflict injury- upon ourcommerce, I would be tenfold greater than ours to retaliate! ! We could not extricate our country from this uno ! qual condition, with such an enemy, unless we at j once departed from our present peaceful policy, ■ and became a great naval power.” The Presi j dent, however, added, “Should the leading powers [ of Europe concur in proposing as a rule of inter j national law, to exempt private property upon the j ocean from seizure by public armed cruisers as well as by privateers, the United States will readi * lv meet them upon that broad ground.” The de [ elaration made by the Plenipotentiaries at Paris, ! comes short of this ground. It covers neutral | property in enemy’s ships, and enemy’s property- in neutral ships, with the exception of contraband of war but does not cover enemy’s property in enemy’s ships ; that is to say, the private property of indi vidual citizens. In out-treaty with Prussia, nego tiated by Franklin in t"BS, there was a stipulation that, in case of war, neither should commission pri vateers to prey upon the commerce of the other, bt.t it lias become extinct. In 1824, Mr. Rush, our Minister at that time at the Court of St. James, proposed to the British Plenipotentiaries ( Mr. Ilas kisson and Stratford Canning) to abolish pri vateering and the capture of private prop erty at sea; but this course was declined, inasmuch as other maratime questions had been shut out from tbe negotiation. “M\ own opinion unequivocally istsuid Mr. Rush'! that Great Britain is not prepared to accede, under any circumstan ces, to the proposition for abolishing private war upon the ocean.” The usages of modern war ex empt private property on the land from seizure and confiscation, lint not on the sea ; and so long as these maritime captures are resorted to bv Great Britain, privateering will continue to be practised as a means of countervailing her superi or forces. A Veisy SiMii-LAi! Affair. —A very curious in stance of confusion has taken place in a family in Lumber street. A mother and her daughter were both conliued on the same day, each having a lit tle* son. In the hustle of the moment both ba bies were placed in a cradle, and to the confusion of the mothers, when the youngsters were taken from the cradle, they were unable to tell which was the mother’s and which the daughter’s son—a matter which, of course, must ever remain a mys tery. The family is in great distress over the af fair.—Albany Knickerbocker. Studying Latin. The Kew Era relates a story of a young farmer whose son had for a long time been ostensibly studying Latin in a popular academy : The farmer not being perfectly satisfied with the course and conduct of the young hopeful, recalled him from school, and placing him by the side of a cart, one day, thus addressed him : “ Mow, Joseph, here is a fork, and there is a heap of manure and a cart; what do vou call them in Latin “ Forkibus, cartibns, cl inanuribus,” said Joseph. “Well, now,” said the old man, “ifyou don’t take that forkibus, pretty quickabus, and pitch that inanuribus, into that cartibus, I’ll break your lazy backibus.” Joseph went to workibus forthwithibus.

Taking advantage of a lull in conver sation, tlie old gentleman requested them to trans late for him the following lines from Ovid : “ In pin taris. In okenun is; I n mud, elsar, In clavuun ar.” it is needless to remark that their efforts at solu tion were all failures; whereupon, the generous old gentleman turned himself into a translator, as follows: “ In pine, tar is, In oak, none is ; In mud, eels are. In clay, none are.” The custom of “treating” was not then com mon, or they might have been justified in enquiring whether he was dry. CO M M ERG I V ia. Augusta 3larket, May 17, I I*. .73.

Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara tion injurious to the patient. Tiiis article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Pilss, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore Hi es, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, <fcc., extract scurf and dandruff from the head', thereby preventing premature baldness, ft is also one of the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a I superior dentrifice to the teeth. For shaving soap, j it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and j curing such sores as may be on the face. In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and I particular old sons, this soap has proved a balm j indeed, by its wonderful healing powers. I can procure certificates innumerable were it ! necessary, but believing that a single cake is only ! requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and ! wishing to avoid everything like lmmbuggerv, I I leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not doubting they will (lien declare this to be the ne /dits -ultra of the age in the healing art.

UNLOOKED FOR TESTIMONY IV> DYSPEPTICS.— Says the “Spirit of On Ay- ft is not an insignificant fact— rather an important one—and indicative of the long promised “good time coining,” that we have, wi in increasing frequency, additions from the ranks : of regularly educated physicians to the number o ! those who have humanly come forward and inter posed between the Patent Medicine Quacks and their innumerable dupes throughout tin- country. The evils which have resulted from tin- success of a few persons in (his line, is, we believe, incalcula ble. Hosts of venal imitators -groveling pander* eis to their own base passions, avarice, and a pru rient ambition, have sprung up on every side and i flooded the country with foul decoctions, disguised by their inodorousness and bad taste, proclaiming them universal Panaceas for all diseases. This subject has not hitherto failed to attract the attention of philanthropists, and if it did not re ceive that attention which it so evidently demand ed, it was because no available means for its sup pression presented themselves. A remedy is, how- ; ever, now being applied to the evil, which will not • only abate if, but, finally, and we hope, ere long, exterminate it. Regular medical practitioners are now placing their best prescriptions in a popular form before the public—thus affording the advantages of their skill and science without the usual consulting fee in those disorders of ascertained characters, and , which may be treated on known principles. We hope that accessions to the number of those plivsi ciaus who prefer to seek the sick and heal them rather than repose m dignified retirement of the i profession, waiting “a call,” will increase until the ( . whole race of humbugs are extant, and people be j t assured that a popular medicine is really worth the j 1 wrapper that envelopes it -a rather uncertain mat- \ ter with some of the nostrums that are now afloat. I i We were led into these remarks by a conversa tion which we just have had with a gentleman—a ; friend, who for years had been a sufferer from Dyspepsia. We knew him once cheerful, robust j and healthy -and, again, from the effects of thi> health-destroying disorder, emaciated, crabbed, j and miserable. Whilst noticing, agreeable, aj . great change wrought within a few weeks iti his ! appearance- and manner, he, as if divining our i thoughts, asked if we did not think lie was im- 1 -] proving, and proceeded to tell us of the wonderful , properties and great value as a remedy, of ( " BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.” Bliss'Hum bug ! cried we. But a letter from a lady in New York recommended our friend to try. as he-ex pressed it, this Blissful remedy, and his serious- j ness iu attesting his restoration to health, being owing to its use, our doubts vanished, and we de termined to give our readers the advantage of our friend’s experience in a short paragraph. Should 1 this meet, the eye of Dr. Bliss, No. 20, Beckman street, New York, whom we don’t know from Adam, he will accept our thanks, as the medium 1 of restoring to us a friend, estranged by disease, c in the health and cheerfulness of disposition in which we formerly knew him. : t As we have not noticed in any of our exchanges mention of this remedy, we would snv to Dr. Ik, place your discovery within the reach of all—ad vertise—let your light shine, even though it mav not be reflected in the “ Spirit of the .We.” BUSS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY is sold bv i CLARK, WELLS & SPEAK, Augusta.
