AdferiiM In tbo Intelllteemcer. 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- CKU ! ^ 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 the Senate as Assessor for the First District of Cincinnati. From the Houston Times. 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. BY TELEGRAPH. RMW TOMA ASSOCIATED PRESS D2SPATOBM 8 UXDAY'S DISPATCHES. Washington, Dec. 30.—Grant attended Dr. Sunderland’s church to-day. Schofield has returned. Advices from Greece and Turkey show an in disposition to precipitate hostilities. Memphis, Dec. 20.—A Little Rock special to the Avalanche says the militia entered Lewis- burg shooting in every direction. They burned two stores, shot the proprietor of one of them and threw him in the flames. The militia still hold the town, allowing none to leave without a pass. NOON DISPATCHES. Washington, Dec. 20.—It is stated that the Government will proceed to attach the property of Frazer, Trenholm & Co. on judgment for a half million of dollars. Proceedings are to commence January 1st, 1869. This morning’s Republican says the Senate Ju diciary Committee has decided that there is no necessity lor Congressional action in reference to Georgia, and will report Senator Edmunds’ bill back with an amendment. Senate.—Wilson introduced a bill allowing an Associate Justice ol the Supreme Court hav ing attained the age of seventy to resign with a continuance of salary for life. The motion to add two to the Pacific Railroad Committee giving the South representation is pending with a sharp sectional debate. The House, without a quorum or business, adjourned. The President nominated W. O. Lofland Collector Internal Revenue for the Frat District of Louisiana; Adolph Bouchard, ditto Third District, Jas. Hart Assessor Third District of Louisiana.

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.” Gordon vs. the United States appealed from Although there is nothing in all this to give the decision of the Court of Claims. any plausibility even to an accusation of wrong intent, yet some of the trieuds of tbe unfortu nate deceased prosecuted Miss Guest for mur der. But the prosecution came to nothing, as it 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 young lile, aud we sympathize both with hei aud the bereaved Mrs. Lenore, Tub Next “Erie" Job.—We copy the fol lowing from the Sun—but we are not sure that it is not one of the editor’s jokes : 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. Special Telegraph!? Corre«pondence of the Louisville Courier-Journal. From Wacililiigton. 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. The hospital, in course of construction, at tached to Howard University (freedmen’s insti tution,) fell, hurting fifteen—two-thirds colored— five seriously. The Senate passed a resolution adding two Southern Senators to the Pacific Railroad Com mittee. Lisbon, December 21.—Rio Janeiro advices to the 6th have been received. No fighting since the last report. Rear Admiral Davis, with McMahon, had gone to Asunction. London, December 21.—Johnson’s full mes sage has arrived. The Times refers to the Presi dent’s stubborness, denounces his repudiation proposition, and approves the disposition made of the document by the Senate and House. Providence. December 21.—Rev. William O’Reilly, Pastor ot St. May’s Catholic Church, Newport, and Vicar General ot Hartford Dio cese, died suddenly yesterday. Philadelphia, December 21.—The Twichell jury is completed. Fortress Moneoe, Dec. 21.—The steamer Lucille, from Baltimore for Wilmington, ran down the schooner Champion, loaded with oys ters, drowning two persons. The mate of the steamer James Lee, who went aboard the schooner, was drowned. Tallahassee, Dec. 21.—Telegraphic infor mation was received here to-day that Judge Miller, of the United Skates Supreme Court, on the plea ot respondent, GleasoD, has signed the citation which was" refused signature here, in the case lately closed in the State Supreme Court, by judgment of ouster against Lieutenant Gov ernor Gleason, inquiring as to his title to office under the State Constitution.

Printer’s fee $&. T HIS GUANO Is found by experience to po sees fnlly equal, and, under some conditions, g. eater, ferti- 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.

Adair d Brother : Gents—I bought of you last spring one ton Soluble Pacific G nano, and put on cotton It came fully up to my expectations, ana I cheerfully recommend it to planters as a profitable fertilizer for cotton. M. G. DOBBINS. , . _ _ . Columbus, Ga., December, 1863. John o, Hesse <k Co : Dear Sirs—Another a .ason con- firms my previously expressed convictions, that the Soluble Pacific Guano, as compared with Pernvian, is fully as good—indeed, better. I have now tested it suf ficiently, using eaeh side by side for two seasons, apply mg the same weight of each per acre, ana in every case the Pacific has given tbe best results on cotton, corn, potatoes and small grain, and the testimony I have lrom a great many planters confirms my experience. WM. la. YOUNG. Charles A Peabody, Esq., of Lee county, Alabama, in a tetter to William H. Young, gays; **'The Pernvian Gnano 1 had before nsed, and know it to be an uivalu ble fertilizer for cotton, l now find the soluble Pacific to be equally as good. At the same price, I would as soon have it for cotton or com as The Peruvian; some of my hands insist that it is better.” declS — Opficb of Udolfho Wolf*. Sol* Imvort*b t 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. DAVID L. MOTT, M. D.. Pharmaceutical Chemist, New York. 26 Pine Street, New York, t Nov. 21,1867. | 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, (Signed) OHAS. A. SEELY, Chemist. New York, 53 Cbdar Ssbebt, ) November 26,1867.

Esq.: 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. VALENTINE MOTT, M. D., Professor of Surgery, Un vt rsity Medical College, New York. J. M. CARNOCHAN, M.
