ST. VALENTIN®** DAY
*We need not remind ,t,e rising generation,
male and female, th*t this 14th day es Feb
ruary is specially set aside in the calendar to
honor tbe good St. Valentine, patron of all
true lovers. Os St. Valentine we know little
beyond what legendary lore has handed down
from age w age. He is reputed to have lived
in the days of the Emperor Claudius and by
that monster beheaded. Some antiquities
deolara him to have been a Bishep, others
apeak of him as a presbyter. Mr. Brand, a
learned pundit, can find noth ng in the record
of his life to originate the customs of the day;
other antiquarians refer these honorary cere
monies to the affectionate disposition of the
Saint. Be that as it may, it is a very antique
delasion, for Chaucer and Shakspeare both
mention him in such connection, averring tha'
the birds mated upon his anniversary. Simi
lar customs date very far back in France
Some authorities declare that Valentine
meam “the first woman seen by a man or
man by a woman" on that d <y ; but they do
not explain their explanation. Roman Catho
lics and Protestants have, in turn, denounced
the scandal of the day. St. Francisde bales,
byway of diversion, advised the drawing ol
lots for patron saiuts instead of drawing lots
for possible wives. Some believe, and probably
with truth, that the custom is a relic of times
when our ancestors prayed to Jupiter and
made votive offerings to Venus. The patron
of our Post Office oan doubtless testify to its
observance, in spite of Jupiter or 9t. Francis.
Where it keeps in its proper channel of affec
tion we believe it to be a good custom; but de
testable when used for purposes of anonymous
ridicule or spleen. We are very sorry that
the birds should choose so inauspicious a sea
son for mating. The poor doves have a dreary
time of it, since every fellow that can secure a
half-holiday’ Is after them with love-mes
sages, done np in cartridge-paper and stamped
with powder and shot. Poor doves ! Poor
HOUSE TTTTETEB.
It is well ascertained Ihfit organized gangs
of horse thiev«3 infest this section of the
“Union ” The? are principally deserters
from the Confetlenfe a'd Federal armies 01
shiftless vagahnnds yomited forth from one
neighborhood to another. If this artich
phon'd happen to meet the eye of any of them,
we can st*tc, without revealing the * crets o’
the charnel house, that the police and parties
liable to depredation have a rogue’s list o(
many or their ilk and will only be too hfippi
to claw them. The Insecurity of this species
of property is notorious and disgraceful. No
farmer feels safe from the burglar ; and stable
keepers and private owners remain in constant
dread of less. The law of South Carolina —if
General Sickles has not stamped the little lie
left in it completely out —provides that u
convicted horse thiel shall for a second offeDw
suffer death. Nobody can recall an instance
of the enforcement of such enactment, how
ever, and so, the robber seizes his prey ami
guffaws at justice. In Georgia it is construed
as a penitentiary offence; but, we understand,
that precious few scoundrels pay the la?t
farthing to purgatorial institutions. We re
member that in Florida, ten years sines, the
Jaw was very rigid but very inoperative ; so
much so, that Judge Lynoh held unlimited
control of such matters and a horse thief’s
corpus sailing down a river or dangling ou a
pine was not a special novelty. We believe
in just laws and are averse to private interpre
tation and vindication. But, what are suffer
ing communities to do when tbe penal code in
little better than an encouragement of roguery,
as all dead-letter laws of ths sort are—in
plain English ? Our planters have been
stripped, by tbe ravages of war. of most of
their available stock and, such as they have
left or are able to purchase, is trebly valuable
to them. Barely onough stock is left to make
the fifth of an ordinary crop and no money to
obtain a fresh supply. We undtrtake 1o say,
from experience, tuat few men in the country
or city repose unapprehensive at night, and
the thief is hedged about with so many
ohanees for escape, that his impunity attains
to the sublime. It is a difficult matter to
keep perpetual watch and ward apd an un
pleasant thing to shoot down a villain in his
tracks. But, if the law is nugatory and mere
word-rubbish, we advise all men to protect
their premises to tbe best of their ability and
to the extent of their ammunition.
Bkvolutionart Mas—Uantok—Marat—
Thaddkun Stev«ns.— -We do n*t know of tw
men who have come up prominently before the
world in revolutionary tines more alike than
Marat and Tkaddeus Stevens. The America'
radical and professed friend of the negro is the
antitype of the French L’Ami du Ptuple. Se
vens resembles in some re puds another French
revolutionist, Dantou, in boldness, daring and
remorseless proscription ; but he baa, besides, the
cynical nature, affected purity and demsgogistr*
of Marat. As first one and then the o<h rof
these Jacobins of France held the convention
nnd public fnnctionaiies in terror, so Stevem
holds our weak House of Representatives. Such
is the power of his will, and so resolute his pur
pose, that he oarries the members with him
against their own judgment. Withoattbe guillo
tine to back him, as Han ton an Marat bad, he i
equally powerful, dogmatic and dicta'orial ant'
the frightened members of the House are fully as
j liant to his dictation as were the members of th<
convention and the revolutionary authoiities in
Paris to those men. In the name of univ rs>)
equality and fraternity they committed d ed
that humanity will shudder at through all time,
and he in the name of justice, freedom and lib
erality, would adopt measures of remorselc-*
prosciiption. They made republican ideas and
institute ns odious by their infamous conduct
and he wnid destroy this great country by hi
intolerance and impracticable abstract the Ties.
They plunged Prance into such a fcatful and ex
haustiug war that tu.« notion had bled at every
pore purely from n reckless spirit of propagand
fsru and to cover up tlwr o times, and be, from a
aimibtr motive, proposes extreme measures that
may involvt us in foreign wars. His propoaiiior
to give direct aid to J osrti iu the war now ra
ging in Mextoo shows bow radical a"d danger
ous his policy is in foreign matters as well as in
domestic O'iel. While we all sympathise with
the republican cause in Mexico, wearenotpre
pared to wage a war of p "psgandiem. We pre
fer the deliberate but ti m course of the Presi
dent w th regat d to that conntrv, and we believe
it will sooner a r co plish the object we desir
than the txtr»m- one of Htevens These radi
cals, whether r>i Frame or Amerioa.are rr-volu
tionary and dangerous in everything. But we
may be thank. - u' that they will not be able to <’•
so much harm beie, fir we have a prudent, 0 m
and conservative President to ghe. ko a'e the
Stivers may rule over tbe weak members <f
Congress for a while, but the age of the gu Ho,
tine and commit'ee* of public safety is pact. a- d
bis power will deo'ine before the liberal vi. w,
and generous sentiments of the people.
[New York Herald.
Has Not tub Inbiab a* Goon a Riant to Vot*
A» tua Naeao ?—hanatluiam in poi.tioa ia as un
reasonable and unjust as in re igion. The radios,
and revultttionaiy polltio ana have been orji g
out negro, negro, tor years, and have been pr
parly called negro wersh’ppers, because they haw
dwelt continually on (bis one theme. We have
lean the consequence of their fanaticism in the
terrible war just closed. Still they are not satis
fied. Tbe negro is free, and yet they are at
craay as ever about him. They huve but on
idea. They would make this inferior race, igno
rant and brutal zed as it is by slavery through ut
all ages, the c mtroiiing power in the Soatb.—
Now, if there be such admiration for dark skinned
men, an t they are to becoo e the petted, fostend
and privileged class, wh should not (he origin*
lords of tbe soil, tbe Indians, be made full, voting
citizens? They tire not as dark as the negio, it
is true; and unless that be an insuperable o'*iac
tion against them they certainly are as quali tied.
It teems, however, that the blaoker the skin, and
more woolly and crisp the hair, the higher people
stand in tt • estimation ot the Radical Republicans.
If a protest wouid be of auy use, we certa n!y
should protest against the superior Indian race
being denied the suffrage, while it is to be given
universally to an initrior raoe. Think of such a
man as <he gallant Colonel Paiker, Genera!
Grant’s ai<f de-camp, aod many other supeti r
wen of tbe Indian race we might name, being
excluded, while Africans who hardly know their
right hand from their ieJt are admitted to politi
cal equality with tbe whites, in fact, if tbe negro
is to be placed on perfect political equality with
ourseives,'* e canLOtsee why the Indians, Chinese,
Malays and the other races, which are not inferu r
to (he negro, should not hare the same privilege.

Nxw York Spring Trade— The Gothamites
are evidently expecting to drive a large and
profitable business with their Southern mercan
tile friends during tbe coming spring. The
New York Times coincides with this opinion,
but the World is not quite so sanguine, and
volunteers the following advice to New York
merchants, to which we call the attention of
our mercantile friends in Augusta and else
where :
1. Staple goods of all kinds must hereafter
be sold on a falling marker.. All kinds of goods
are Uo high in price, and honest retailers who
mean so pay their debts will only purchase
enough for immediate consumption. Those
who are willing to pay high prices and make
large purchases will be unable to meet their
enpftprementß.
2. The future of the financial policy of the
government will be in favor of a falling market.
The certainty that we must, some time or other,
go beck to specie payments, and that we arc
on the roid thither, will compel caution in all
quarters, and induce a dull state of trade.
3. The farmers of the West are well off, but.
'hey have not paid their debts on the fall
trade, hoping for higher prices for farm pro
duce. The West is full of corn, which the
producers obstinately refuse to market at
present ratps ; and many of the leading bouses
in Cincinnati. Chicago, and St. Louis would be
sorely pinched were New Yorkers to apply the
screws. Fortunately for them, our money
market is easy, and likely to continue so for
some time to come. Although the West is
bare of spring goods, there will not be a large
trade unless there Is a heavy concession on
preseut prices, especially in domestic goods.
4. The South is bare of goods, but has no
money, and if New Yorkers wish to sell It
must be on long credits. No prudent house
will sell largely to Southern dealers at present
prices and on long time, with the future as
doubtful as it is now.
The past. January has been an extremely dull
month in all branches of trade, and it is now
known that there are large stocks of fall goods
still unsold at the West.
Merchants had better not be too sanguine
Let them prepare for r moderate trade, a«d be
sure and not give long credits.
Thb Opera. —The Louisville papers thus
speak of some of the artists of the Strakosch
troupe. It will be agreeable to onr readers to
have some inkling of their merits, and hence,
we append the criticism of our Kentucky co
temporaries :
Despite the inclement weather, Wood’s
Theatre was crowded again last evening by
l’elite of enreity to listen to the well-k»own
and favorite strains of Verdi’e chef d’atuvre,
11 Trovatore. Much has been said and written
about the merits of Verdi’s compositions.—
These we do not propose to discuss here. One
thing, however, is certain : that his operas
have created a sens .tion when and wherever
produced, and have kept the stage as favorites
of the public for years. II Trovatore is, with
out doubt, one ot the best, if not the very beßt
of the great mceetro’s works. It is full of flow
ing melody, well instrumentaled, —and gives
the performers ample scope to display their re
spective abilities. This was improved upon by
the artistes last evening, one and all. We do
not remember to hare heard this masterpiece
better rendered than it was last rrght
Mine. Ghioni, who made her first appearance
he: eas Leonora, at once established herself us
one of the greatest artists now on the lyric
S'age. Her Cavatina in the first act was a
master work of vocalization, and Wib warmly
applauded. In tbe fonrth act she reused the
audience to enthasiaam, and the famous mis
erere wus loudly redemande’d. It may not he
out of place here to mention that II Trovatore
WBB originally written fer Mme. Ghicni It
was she who first introduced it to the public,
and so made herself anti the great ma33tro,
Verdi, immortal.
Mme. Strakosch was in excellent voice and
sang splendidly. Her acting was parfecily
grand. The New York Herald has deservedly
compared her to the great Rachel in the part
of Azuceaa. She was fnqnently applauded,
and mav feel proud of her success last night.
Sig. Macaferri, as Maorico, displayed his
wouderlul tenor voice to iha beat advantage.
Here we have areal tenor robusto, one who
sings high C from the ohest, as only Tember
lik can do <t. He was deservedly called out
niter the miserere to receive the plaudits of the
public.
Sig. Mancosi is a most conscientious artist,
and sang and acted tbe arduous part of tbe
Count finely. We must especially mention
this gentleman’s exquisite rendering of the
Aria II Balen.
The secondary parts were well filled, and
the chorus and orchestra, uoder the direction
of Signot Rosa, were all that couid be desired.
Gen. Scott. —The Pensacola Observer, ol
the 27th ult., says :
Gen. Winfield Scott made a brief visit to the
Pensscola Navy Yard on Tuesday. We regret
to learn that his feeble health prevented his
mingling with the people or receiving any one
aboard except the officials. Ths United -tetes
steamer on which be came entered port at 6
o’clock, p. m., on Tneeday and cleared on
Wednesday morning at an early hour. The
usual honors were p >id him by both the army
and navy.
It is currently reported in diplomatic cir
cles in Washington that the wife of the Italian
Minister his recently been paid fifty thousand
dollars, by order of the Quartermaster Gener
al, for property destroyed before her marriage,
and while she was a Southern sympatizer and
resident of Natchez, MUaiss'ppi.
General Lee is at bis daughter's residence, at
Georgetown. In spite of his desire to remain
quiet, be receives a great deal of attention and
many marks of attachment Jbd respect.

been given to some of onr little children suffering from
weakness and weak lungs, with most happy effect. One
little girl In particular, with psina in her head, loeS of
appetite, and daily wasting consumption, on whom all
fftedloal skill had bee exhausted, has been entirely re
stored. We commenced with but a teaspu, nful of Bitters

and she is now well.

In the year 1846, the v in the
Drug Basinesa In the city of Pnilz'e'phia, and
while thus engaged, made several experiments in
regard to the most desirable preparing
Fluid Extracts, My (Sorts being puTeessful—the
artio'es being approved and nsi d by the Medical
Faculty—l was desirous of placing them before
the public, but hesitated for some time before
concluding to resort to newspaper advertising,
knowing <f the prejudices that ex-ited in the
minds of many ag(t'n*t using adverdsed Medi
cine* or Nostrums, bnt through the advice ot
frleods awl those who bad used them this objec
tion wm overcome.
Alter 18 yews’ exertions, commencing In a
small way, the popularity of nty arlioles has ex
tended to all parts of'ho Urited States, and
widoly throughout foreign countries—and this in
the face of much opposition. Every means hue
been resorted to by unprincipled deal- rs since
their merit and snot-ess have been known—such
as advertising larger bottles at less ptice, cen
suring all other pr> purations, and even copyiug
inf adre tisement-—but I am happy to s'ata that
out of the many who have resorted to this, none
have been successful.
MY OBJECT
in tiiisi notice is to make facts known to the pub
lic end respectable dealers, believing, after so
many years’ exertions, that the Druggists will
discountenance such proceedings, and that the
reputation of my articles may not be damaged
by the use of interior or spurious enes.
Knowing that many m ly read t' is article who
are unacquainted with me. I append a few re
marks from those of my native city, and whose
Dames are known in all parts of the world :
“ Being personally acquainted with Mr. H. T.
“rlmbold, it affords me pleasure in stating I
have been most favorably impaessed with his
energy and Integrity, and gratified at his suo
coss. " WM. WEIGHTMAN,
Firm of Powers A Weightmnnn
Ninth and Brown streets, Philadelphia.
[Evening Bulletin, PhiladolphU.]
“ When on a visit to the city of New York a
f-w days since, I was induced t« call on ottr old
friend and townsman, Mr. 11. T. He'mbold,
Druggist, 694 Broadwa.W N. Y. His store is a
Mo-iel, a perfect Gem—the handsomest of any
kind we have ev r had the pleasure of viewing,
aud so extensive, being 34 feet, front, five stories
in height,, and over 200 feet deep. It indeed Af
fords u* much pleasure to know that he has been
s > successful, and It, is amp’e evidence of the
merits of his articles—as in our whole business
experience we have not known of the success of
•hiv artici-s without Merit—advertising merely
bringing the name before the people.”
[Bos on Herald.]
“ We do not like to advertise worthless wares,
or articles calculated to deceive, out readers ;
and when we pee an advertiser like Mr. Helm
bold, whom we have known for years, gradually
- xtend bis advertising from year to jeir nn’il bo
becomes the largest advertiser in the United
States, we are satisfied that, the statements in re
gard to his artioles must be correct."
The writer reluctant'y inserts the above, and
would not do so were be not a stranger to many j
and concludes by stating tbe nari es of bis arti
-1 cleft, and the diseases for which they have been
used by many ihousands with complete tuoceas.
