We were accosted on Whitehall yesterday by
one ol oue eulerprUing business men, as fol
lows :
“ I owe you many thanks, sir. That adver
tisement which I sent to the Intelligencer,
and your notice ol it, which cost me only $15.,
has already been worth to me $500.; and as 1
am receiving and opening some aduitional stoCit
to-day, I will soon have another advertisement
ready for you. Call round and take a look at
my new Christmas stock.”
So much for advertising in the Intelljgen-

Hercules outdone.
It is proposed to establish a Congressional
Committee, or Court of Investigation, to exam
ine the election frauds ol New Y ork city. 11
this is not a Herculean undertaking, we do not
know what is. Hercules ioutul it a tough job
to destroy the hundred heads of the Lernaean
Hydra race with the help of loins, but liis task
was a mere pastime compared with the proposed
work of the Committee. Hercules had enter
prise and energy, but he would never have dared
to undertake such a labor as that..
Reported Defeat of the sumner Bill.
The telegrams and letters lrom Washington
conyev the agreeable assurance that Congress
will admit Messrs. Hill and Miller to their seats
in the Scuttle, reject the plan for “remanding
Georgia” to provisional authority and troops,
and trust to the passage of a contemplated con
stitutional amendment, tor the perfection of the
already entirely successful reconstruction mea
sures. Sumner will be angry, of course. Thayer
wilt be disappointed, we fear. Drake will be
chagrined and make a couple of extra speeches
by way of solace. lint the public will rejoice,
and the people of Georgia, who believe that
they arc about as quiet, loyal, and law-abiding a
population as can bo found between the oceans,
will be very glad to escape a renewal of a pro
visional government, especially when it is ac
companied by test oaths, and more troops. Ol
all tlie unprovoked and unnecessary outrages
upon public liberty that have been committed
within the past few years in the name of repub
licanism, and with a pretended view of enlarg
ing the area of freedom, we do not know of any
which was so entirely inexcusable, even on the
ground of parly expediency, as Sumner's bill
to reconstruct reconstruction in Georgia. Every
alleged lraud lor the proposed action is notori
ously erroneous. Every suggested imputation on
the loyalty and good behaviour of the people is a
slander, and every assumption of authority to
do what Sumner proposes is so audacious a vio
lation of law, so fl igrant an usurpation, that
even very advanced lliidicals cry “shame,” and
reluse to be parties to the proceeding.
It is absolutely monstrous. Six or seven
months alter Georgia bas adopted a Constitution
which the Congress has approved and accepted,
alter the Legislature has adopted tlio 14th
amendment and complied with every other be
hest ot Congress, has been declared by legisla
live enactment readmitted into the Union and
six out of seven of her representatives admitted
to their seats, to propose to annul all that has
been done, to thrust the State out of the Union,
disband ber Legislature, establish a dictatorship,
disfranchise the whole white race by throwing
the test oath broadcast over the whole length
and breadth of the Commonwealth, resolve or
der into chaos, and strangle the growing pros
perity of the people, is a refinement on cruelly
and lawlessness, of which we would have been
unwilling to believe that even Charles Sumner
was capable.
We trust that the telegrams are true, and that
the committees to which Georgia affairs have
been referred, will report promptly and decided
ly against all such schemes for the postpone
ment of peace aud the promotion of strife.
Senator Trumbull, the Chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee of the Senate, i9 an able con
stitulional lawyer, a conservative Republican,
and a statesman of eminence when measured
beside those by whom he is surrounded. We
have no doubt that he will earnestly oppose
Sumner’s bill and all kindred violations ol law,
but we are not so confident that other members
ot the Judiciary Committee who have neither
his ability nor his integrity, will follow his ex
ample, and protect us from the threatened
calamity.
more quiet, as the publicity given to them in
public speeches and newspapers in England has
aided greatly to the embarrassment ol the Gov
ernment here.
TARIFF.
The House bill increasing the duties en copper
will not be considered by the Senate until alter
the holidays. Parties who are interested in the
increase of the duty are here urging the passage
ol the bill. f*—s
KENTUOTCT AND MARYLAND.
The House Judiciary Committee have still
before them the proposition, referred at the last
session, looking into the Slate governments of
Kentucky and Maryland, but it is not likely that
it will amount to anything.
NEW YORK ELECTION FRAUDS.
t The committee on the late election frauds in
New York, it is understood, will go to that city
on Monday next and proceed at once with their
investigations.
SUPERVISORS.
Up to this time twenty-four supervisors of in
ternal revenue have been appointed, leaving bat
one vacancy, which is for the district ot Wiscon-
siu and Michigan. The nomination for tiat dis
trict has been made by Commissioner Rollins,
and it is probable that the becretary will make
the appointment at an early day.
THE ALASKA FRAUD FIZZLES.
It. J. Hinton, letter-writer ot the Worcester
Spy, on whose charges ot corruption in the dis
bursement of the Alaska fund the present inves
tigation i? based, was examined to-day by the
House Committee on Public Expenditures. It
was naturally expected that he would furnish
important revelatious, but he utterly failed to
substantiate any of his charges. He testified
that ho wrote his letter on mere street rumor;
that he was unable even to give the name of the
person who mentioned the rumor; and that, of
his own knowledge, he did not know that any
newspaper man or person had received a cent
for any lund for urging payment for Alaska.
CINCINNATI ASSESSOR.
C. G. Megrus will be nominated to-morrow to

A Romance of Texas Life.
Miss Guest and a young lady lriend—Miss
Seals—having paid a visit on horseback to the
family of Mr. Lenore, in Brazos county, Texas,
that gentleman, on their return, escorted them
home. Miss Guest was in the habit of wearing
a small derringer pistol, from the fact of having
had to travel alone to eastern Texas not long
alter the war closed. She bad it on her person
at the time in question. As they were riding
along, this pistol, from some cause, explodod in
the clothes ot Miss Guest, and so wounded oue
of her fingers that it had to be removed by am
putation.
During ber confinement from this hurt, she
was visited by Mrs. Leuors, and urged to visit
her agaiu when she recovered. When she recov
ered, she aud Miss Seals again visited the house
ot Mr. Lenore. While there a game ot cards
was proposed. While Mr. Lenore was assorting
the cards lrom the drawer of a table, Miss Seals
standing by his side and Miss Guest rather
behind him, he espied his pistol in the drawer,
aud handing it over his shoulder to Miss Guest,
remarked, “ How does this pistol compare with
yours ?” She took it, and while examining it,
the pistol went oft, killing Mr. Lenore inslanily.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Washington, Dec. 21.—The Reconstruction
Committee bad the Georgia and Mississippi
cases up, without action, and adjourned to the
5th January.
Mr. Seward, answering a letter from New
York merchants, says: “It is my duty to inform
you that the United States are at peace with the
republic of Hayli, and will protect no citizen of
tbe United Slates who attempts to trade in Hay-
tian ports in violation ot any existing blockade
or any lawful decree of the Haytien Republic
which has been recoguized by tbe United States.
All persons trading in insurrectionary ports of
Hayti will be liable to be dealt with according
to the process of the principles of international
law.”

ought to have dona The District Attorney
entered a nolle prosequi, although the defense
demanded a trial.
We take pleasure in recording the fact that
our able fellow townsman, Judge P. W. Gray,
voluuleered for the defense ot Miss Guest, and
went up to Bryan for that special purpose.
Miss Guest is a youug lady of high standing
and good culture, and is well spoken of by all
with whom we have conversed who know her.
A great misfortune has cast its shadow upon her

A Tunnel Under the Hudson River.—
There is a report iu circulatiou, aud it seems to
have some foundation, that the Directors of the
Erie Railway Company are preparing to cou-
stiuct a tunnel under the Hudson river, to ac
commodate the business of their road and one
or two other roads now terminating at Jersey
City. According to the statement, tbe plans and
specifications lor the work have been in the
company’s office for several months, and it is
possible that active operations will begin next
spring. The eastern terminus of the tunnel will
be on Eighth avenue, near Twenty-Third street,
and the purchase of Pike’s Opera "House and ad
jacent property was partially in view of the use
of the land lor such purpose. The plans con
template a large depot under ground, and when
the work is completed, the passenger trains will
be made up and start from this depot. The
tunnel is estimated to cost not more than three
millions of dollars, and it can be completed in
two and a halt years.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 18, 1868.
THE MEMBER FROM LOUISIANA.
Congress was dull to-day. Iu the House the
credentials ot Meuaril, the colored member from
Louisiana, were presented, and duly referred to
the Committee ou Elections, the 6eat being con
tested. There does not appear to be much pio-
bability that he will get his seat, owing to the
tact that the vacancy he assumes to till was
caused by death, and that the boundaries ot the
district were changed by the Louisiana Legisla
ture before an election was ordered, thereby
changing very materially the district in which
the original vacancy existed.
RECONSTRUCTION OF GEORGIA.
Mr. Edmunds to day, in the Senate, introduced
a bill to repeal so much of the reconstruction
acts in relation to Georgians provides for giving
that State representation in Congress, ami pro
viding tor a provisional government iu tbe State
It was referred to the Judiciary Committee, aud
ordered to be priuted. The action of the Legis
l.iture in expelling its negro members is set forth
as the preamble to this proposed legislation
TUB RUSSIAN MISSION.
The friends of Henry A. Srnythe were expect
ant thi9 morning that his nomination for Minis
ter to Russia would be taken up iu the executive
session held to-day, that gentlcin&u haviug been
understood to have made great exertions last
evening to secure the session before the an
nouncement of the death of Mr. Stevens iu that
body. The case was not reached, however, and
alter a very brief session the doors were opened
and the regular business resumed. There is no
doubt but that the Committee ou Foreign Rcla
lions wilt report adversely.
URN. M’CLELLAN.
The Evening Express says that the friends of
Gen. McClellan here say that he will be offered
the Secretaryship of War by Gen. Grant because
ot his admiration lor McClellan and his desire
to ahotv the country that he is not a partisan.
EFFECT OF MoRTON’8 SPEECH.
Seuator Morton has received a dispatch from
Europe stating that the effect of his speech in
favor ot resumption was already visible iu the
Increased confidence in American securities.
“mum’s the word.”
It is understood here that Secretary Reward
has sent Reverdy Johnson a letter reminding
him that diplomatic interests require that the
negotiations with Great Britain should be kept
Rosecrans.—Our Minister to Mexico seems
to have been well received. The New York
Herald, commenting on it, says:
He was escorted on his land journey to the
City ot Mexico by an escort of fifty soldiers.
There is no reason to suppose that his diplo
matic mission will not find us much favor with
the Mexican Government as that bestowed upon
him by the Mexicau public. General Rosecrans
has a very delicate mission iu hand. He is, in
fuel, the advance guard of an active system ot
diplomacy iu Spanish America. The result of
his labors in the sorely disturbed aud afflicted
Republic of Mexico may have much to do with
our future relations with all the Spanish Ameri
can States. No doubt General Rosecrans com
prehends this, and as the Government and the
country have reposed an important trust in him,
they will rely upon his judgment and firmness
in dealing with the authorities of the Republic
to which he is accredited, in order that good
fruits may come from his mission. It is no easy
task which he has to perform, but his antece
dents warrant the expectation that he will ac
complish it with credit.”
A VouDouisT on the Rampage. —Near Bur
gundy street dwells an ancient voudonist, cele
brated lor many a deed of wonder. His in
stincts are marvelous in all cases where the af
fections are interested, is au fait in diseases of
mind and body, and tor casting the evil eye or
working out a case of retribution or revenge bas
not his equal. This voudouist is known among
the mortal believers in his powers as Dr. Jack.
He is visited by all who wish to work out cases
ot love. Margery White applied to him for as
sistance in bringing to her feel a barber,
Pierre Courceil, who had long been in
sensible to her attractions. Margery proposed
to pay $20, one-half whereof was paid cash in
hand, tLe remainder to be paid when the ser
vices were rendered. Therefore, Dr. Jack imme
diately procured a huge beel heart This was
iu vested in white crape, doctored with essences
aud impregnated with the perfume of violets
and “forget-me-uots,” and secretly, and at night,
deposited it at the chamber door of the obstinate
Pierre CoureeiL Many a solemn charm was
said” over it; many a spell was invoked. Bat
the “things” did’t work. Instead of yielding to
ihe invisible powers Dr. Jack had brought to
bear on him, the barber kicked the heart ofl the
doorstep, aud swore many oaths thereat. At
this sign of obduracy Dr. Jack got gloomy; got
something to cheer him ; got more, got drunk ;
got alter Margery for the balance of the money;
got into a dispute with her and then a fight; got
arrested; got into the lock-up and then into
court, where the lull details of this moat vera
cious history were developed, and where the
court d isolated learnedly on the true intent and
meaning ot voudouism, and did not hesitate to
avow it was injurious to the best interests of
society.
The Supreme Court affirmed the decree
of the Court of Claims, that the award
made by the Secretary of War was null and
void upon the repeal ot the joint resolution di
recting it, and that an action founded on that
award must be dismissed. The action of the
Secretary of War in making the award held the
ministerial, and was not binding on the govern
ment. The case is from Florida, and involves
negroes’ accounts during the war.
The Court adjourned lrom the 24th instant
to January 4th, on which day the original ac
tions between States and the actions arising un
der the Constitution will be called.
Senator Trumbull’s bill providing for the
safety of the extradition prisoners was approved
by Seward.
The Retrenchment Committee have published
a report on revenue frauds.
The greatest want is undoubtedly of honest
officials; but no improvement can be hoped for
in that direction under the present Executive—
a fact Congress should have realized and acted
upon long ago, and then devised a system which
human ingenuity and official rapacity could not
easily circumvent.

lzmg power than Peruvian Guano. Its cost per ton is
at least $30 less than Peruvian; hence, planters can
aflord to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater
benefits.
According to the experience of Wm. H. Young, Esq.,
of Columbus, Ga., to whom we ruler, 203 pounds per
acre of Soluble Pacific Gnano increased the crop three
to four times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop
fire to six times.
Dirhctions fob Usk Strew one half tlie quantity to
be applied per acre in tbe drill, or hill, and plant upon it.
When the cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and well
up, tay lour or five inches, sow the other bait broadcast
between the rows, before the plows. This is found to
be a better method than to apply all in the drill.
This Gaano not only increases theorop so largely, bnt
matures it from two to fonr weeks earlier—thus adding
so long a time to the bearing season, and makes a good
crop, notwithstanding it be attacked by caterpillar.
The use of this Gnano in Georgia on the last crop
paid from 200 to 400 per cent, on the investment.
Every planter, who is incredulous as to these facts,
shonld ac hast satisfy himself by a trial on a small scale,
as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained
will prove of great value. The culture of poor lana will
not compensate without the use of concentra ed ferti
lizers, and that which is best, at least cost, must, be pre
ferred. See testimonials annexed. For funner infor

OF THE SOfrlBDA* AROMATIC SCHNAPPS. V
22 Reaves Stub at, New York, Nov. 3,1868. )
To the People of the Southern States;
When the pore medicinal restorative, now so widely
known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced
into the world under the endorsement of fonr thousand
eading members of tlie medical profession some twenty
years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could
not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and
useful’ preparations. He, thereiore, endeavored to in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun
terfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished
chemists for enalysis, and pronounced by them the pu
rest spirits ever manufactured. Its purity and properties
haviug been thus ascertained, samples of theartic.e were
forwarded to ten thousana physicians, including all the
leading practitioners in tho United States, for purposes
of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of thu pre
paration and report of the result, accompanied eacii spe
cimen. Fonr thousand of the most eminent medical men
in ihe Union promptly responded. Their opinions of
the article were unanimously favorable. Snch a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the profession,
as no reliance couid be placed on the ordinary liquors of
commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated,
and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar
excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form
ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to
gether with an unalloyed character ol the alcoholic ele
ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked
superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diu
retic, tonic, and restorative.
The.-e s itisliictory credentials irom professional men
of the highest rank were published in a condensed form,
and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as oue of
the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions
against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained
or the article, tne label was copyrighted, a foe simile o
the proprietor’s Autograph signature was Attached to
each label and cover, his name and that of the prepara
tion were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were
sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been
sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior
to the introduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1651; and tbe label was deposited, as bis
trade mark, in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York during that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with
tbe daring character of tbe pirates who prey upon the
reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete
rious trash nuder their name, that the protections so
carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have pre
ceded the introductions and sale ot counterfeits. Thev
seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of
Impostor*. The trade mark of the proprietor has been
stolen; the indorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received fiorn the medical profession
has been clai ined by mendacious humbugs; his labels
and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied,.and worse than all, dishon
orable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents
of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the
most deleterious of all liqnore, and thus made his name
aud brand a cover for poison.
The public, tlie medical profession, and the sick, fot
whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is preseribed us
a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in
the detection aud suppression of these nefarious prac
tices. The genuine article, manufactured at the estab
lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is
distilled irom a barley of the finest quality, and flavored
with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juni
per, of uuequaled purity. By a process unknown in the
preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every
acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading physi
cians and families iu tbe Southern States of the sals of-
cheap imitations of £he Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in
those markets, and traveler* who are in the habit of
using it as an antidode to the baneful influence of un
wholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put np in
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un
wary. The agents of the undersigned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward
to him the names of snch parties as they may ascertain
to Ik engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In
conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro
duced, from under the hands of tbe most distinguished
men ol science in America, proofs unanswerable of the
purity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro
matic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand
dollars in surrounding it with gnarantees and safeguards
which he designed should protect the public tad himself
against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be
the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly de.
pended upon ns unadulterated; that he has challenged
investigation, analysis, compnraison, and ’-xperiment iu
all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation
which b ars his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off
trinmphant. He therefore feeis it a duty he owes to his
fellow-citizen* generally, to the medical profession and
the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon
the press and the public to aid him in his efforts to rem
edy so great an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the leading
physicians and chemists ot this city will prove to the
reader that all goods sold by the undersigned are all they
are represented to be.
UDOLFHO WOLFE.
I feel bound to say that I regard your Schnapps as be
ing in every respect pre-eminently pare, and deservingof
medical patronage. At all events, it is the purest possi
ble article of Holland Gin, heretofore unobtainable, and
as sneh may be safely prescribed by physicians.

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq.. I resent;
Dear Sir—I have made a chemical examination of a
sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent of
determining if any foreign or injurious snbstanoea had
been added to the simple distilled spirits.
The examination has resulted in the conclusion that
the sample contained no poisonons or harmful admix
ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of tbe
deleterious snbstances which arc employed in the adul
teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to nse myself,
or to recommend to others, lor medicinal purposes, tfie
Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable
variety of gin.
Very respcctlully yours,

that the spirituous l.qnor is free from injurious ingredi

and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture of
alcohol and aromatics.

Dear Sib—The Yvant of pure wines and liquors for me
dicinal purposes has been long felt by the profession,
and thousands oflives have been sacrificed by the nse of
adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other dis
eases of l.hc brain and nerves so rife in this country, are
very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the dif
ferente in the purity of the spirits sold.
We have tested the several articles imported and sold
by you, including your Gin, which you sell nnder the
name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we con-
sidcrjnstly entitled to the figh reputation it has acquired
in this country; and from yonr long experience as a for
eign importer, yonr Bottled Wines and Liquors should
meet with the same demand.
We would recommend you to appoint some of the re
spectable apothecaries in different parts of the city a
ageuis for ihe sale of your Brandies and Wines, wher
the profession can obtain the same when needed for
medicinal purposes.
Wishingyon success in yonr new enterprise,
We remain yonr obedient servants.
