FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 3,1806.
THE ARMY APPROPRIATION Bfl&. *
No. 103 of the public Acts of Congress, eo
called, approved July 13, 1866, anil entitled, An
Act making appropriations for the support of
the Army for the year ending the 6 th of June ,
eighteen hundred and sixty-seven, and for other
purposes, presents some interesting informa
tion. The sum total of appropriations for the
army proper is $31,063,791 83, the Freedmen’s
Bureau coming in on that special account for
$0,944,450, making in all $08,008,241 83 its the
grand aggregate. The various items for the
Bureau are set forth in section three, as fol
lows:
The salaries of assistant and sub as
assistunt commissioners $ 147,500
For salaries of clerks :■ 82,800
For stationery and printing 63,000
For quarters and fuel 15,900
For clothing for distribuy|M . 1,170,000
For commissary stores.. l-f. 8,106,350
For medical department 500,000
For transportation 1,320,000
For school superintendents 21,000
For repairs and rent of school houses
and asylums 500,000
For telegraphing 18,000
$6,944,450
Among the more important items of the ar
my proper account are $10,702,052 for the pay
of the army, $5,301,635 for subsistence, and
$5,134,499 33 for the quartermasters depart
ment. What proportion “ The States lately in
rebellion ” will be called on to pay of these
thirty-eight millions there are now no means of
knowing, but when that tribute, whatever it
rosy he, is paid, we are done with the army, for
no “rebel” is to obtain admittance therein
hereafter forever except in the contin
gency, doubtless, ol a foreign war.
MR. STEPHENS’ LETTER.
Credited to the Nationatlntelligencer appears
the following correspondence, embodying a
letter from the Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens,
which will doubtless be read with great inter
est. It will be noticed that in its open
ing paragraphs this letter seems to favour
a view advanced in these columns to the effect
that the objectionable language of the Call for
the Philadelphia Convention was originally em
ployed with the design of excluding “ seces
sionist delegates,” as a matter of mere policy:
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer:
Gentlemen: I ask a place in your columns
for the enclosed letter to me from the Hon.
Alexander 11. Stephens, in committing it to
the press, 1 am taking a questionable liberty
with him, for the letter Is marked private. But
in the present, circumstances of the country,-1
think it so desirable that the people should
know the real temper of the South, that I feel
justified in publishing this letter from one who,
at the outbreak of the war, was the representa
tive mau of the Union party ol the South, and
is tlie recognized exponent Os the Southern
sentiment at this moment.
President Lincoln had great confidence in
Mr. Stephens, lie told me repeatedly that he
had offered him a seat in the Cabinet, and he
retained great regard for him to the last.
lours respectfully,
M. Blair.

Craweokdvillk, OA./J'dy 23i
Hon. Montgomery Hlair, Washington, 7‘. v-'
Dear Sir : Your letter of the 17th instant!.?
before me. 1 thank you heartily for it. No
man in the United States did, or could, more
cordially approve and endorse the objects of
the proposed Union Convention, at Philadel
phia (as 1 understand them) than I (ltd; 'find
yet, from considerations of expediency, 1
doubted the propriety of my taking active part
in it. 1 was also in doubt to some extent,
whether, with other views on the part of those
who made the call, the words were not so
phrased in the call as to exclude all who occu
pied a similar position to my own, and from
oilier considerations as those which had oc
curred to me.
Your letter relieves me from the last class of
doubts, Imt those of the other class still exist,
notwithstanding your strong views to tlie con
trary. Individually, my whole soul is enlisted
in the cause of a speedy, full and perfect resto
ration of the Government under the Constitu
tion, and its permanency under that Constitu
tion as it now stands. There is nothing in my
power that I am not willing cheerfully to do to
filed and accomplish that end. Indeed (you will
cvetiHc me in saying it* but it is the truth,) I
would he willing to offer tip my life itself, if
by so doing this great result could be obtain
ed, and peace, union, harmony, prosperity,
happiness and constitutional liberty lie there
by secured to the millions now living, and the i
untold millions hereafter to live, on this conti
nent.
There are many personal embarrassments or
difficulties in the way of my going to the con
vention —these I alluded to before—but 1 am
resolved to be there if 1 can. In no event shall
it be ever truthfully said ol me that I failed to
do everything in my power to save the country
and its institutions.
1 did, in 1800, exert my efforts to their ut
most extent to avoid the late most, lamentable
war, and to save the Union on conditional prin
ciples without a eonfliet of arms. This 1 did,
too, while many of those now so clamorous for
what they call “the Union cause,” were giving
encouragement, at least,, to the extreme men at
the South by clearly and decidedly intimating,
if not fully expressing a perfect willingness, ou
their part, that “ the Union might slide” if the
people of the South so willed it. 1 was even
taunted with endeavoring to hold our people
on to a Union that was no longer eared for by
leading men of the dominant party at the North.
I withstood these taunts, even when I knew,
(or was informed truly, as 1 believed,) that
there was an organized body of men in Savan
nah to seize the Custom House, Fort Pu
laski, &c., in ease the State did not secede.
All this I stated to you, and to which you al
lude in your letter before me; nor should 1
have any hesitancy in stating it to the public, it
any public good could thereby lie effected. The
public good is my only object. How best to
subserve that,, consistently with truth, honor,
and uprightness, is the only question with me.
Personal interests'have no influence with me
whatever—at least I think so, and may be ex
cused for saying so. Had 1 been governed by
personal feelings, I should have had nothing to
do with the late troubles, further than entering
my earnest protest against them. And had 1
been governed by personal feeling I should not
now be in the situation I am.
If the Union shall be restored under the
Constitution, as I earnestly desire to see it
done, (and 1 am willing to do all I can towards
that end,) it is my fixed purpose to retire for
ever irom all connection with public affairs. —
So that While it. would seem that my present
efforts arc tending to a result in which I haye
more or less personal interest —that is, my ad
mission as a Senator in Congress—yet I assure
you 1 never expect or intend to hold that posi
tion long, even if the seat should be awarded
tome.* Yours, truly,
Alexander 11. Stephens.
That Glorious “Southern Loyalist,”
Gantt.—The following local para
graph we clip from Iho Baltimore Gazette:
“ Held for Trial. —On Mondny the fact of tne
arrest ol Edward W. Gantt, of Arkansas, for
an attempted outrage on a little girl of twelve
years, at the Maltby House was shttwk A fur
ther hearing of the case was postponed until 11
o’clock yesterday, hut it did not take place, ns
the accused waived a further examination, and
gave liuil in the sum of two thousand dollars to
await the action of the grand jury.
“ This man Gantt deposited two thousand
dollars, and that is the bail upon which he is lib
erated, which sum is trifling compared with the
enormity ot the crime with whieli he is charged,
and it. is probable that no more will he heard
of the matter. He stands high with the Radi
cal faction in Congress, and is said to be one of
the most active, as well as successful, ol the
Radical (pbby members. Alice Reid, the little
girl, was*so unfortunate as to fall into the hands
of her brother-in-law, and it is not likely that
she will soon be visited in her distant home by
the protector who started with her from Wash
ington”
This fellow Gantt must be the most misera
ble creature the world has held siuce the days
of Benedict Arnolds A General in the Confed
erate army, a member of the Confederate Con
gress, and a man of high station and reputa
tion in the State of Arkansas, witli far less.pro
vocation than Arnold had, even admitting that
any"provocation will justify desertion—he quit
the cause which ho had espoused witli so much
eagerness, nud became at cmce the most seur :
rilous of its pct'sceliters. In his zeal for the
new faith that was so suddenly disclosed to
him, lie rapidly descended in the scale of hu
manity till be, became as great a blackguard as
Browulow, although lie had formerly been a
gentleman. His case affords another instance
of the truth of the old saying, that while those
who profit by it love the treason, they despise
th»traitor. The writer of this paragraph hap
pened to lie passing through the North during
the exciting election campaign of 18C4 be
tween McClellan and Lincoln. He found this
man Gantt—and a gaunt-looking and Cassius
like figure he wa-. too-stumping the
country for Lincoln. He spoke of his former
friends, neighbors and brothers in the South,
in a spirit ot fiendish Vindictiveness that conld
not have been exceeded fey Sevens or Sumner.
It was, however, gratifying to see that even

Columbus, Miss., July 27, 1860.
The situation of affairs in this region fully
proves what was predicted last year, and that is
that the negroes, will not work as they did for
merly. Most of the planters in Mississippi,
after having hired tlleir hands for the year,
■vßHmulatcd by th 4 high price ofeottOr, planted
cessively wet. The result was, the crops were
not well worked, the' corn particularly was ne
glected to save the cotton, and in consequence
both corn and cotton wero very materially in
jured. Too'mueh cotton was planted to the
hand, and on that account less will be made
than if a smaller quantity had been planted,
and it had been worked. This region of coun
try will hardly make half a crop. Our crop is
doing well because we adopted a different pol
icy from that generally pursued. We planted
less cotton and more corn to the hand than
was usual. I hope the Southern people will
learn from the experience of this year to plant
less cotton to the hand, and they will, in most
instances, make more by giving it good culti
vation.
A delegation will be sent from this State to
the Philadelphia Convention, composed of the
best and most conservative meu in the State,
I hope. That Convention will surely not per
mit itself to be distracted by past issues, but
will, I trust, merely embrace iu its platform the
President’s reconstruction policy. The South
.would, I believe, agree as a compromise, to
adopt voting population as a basis of represen
tation. The Conservative men of the North
could ask no more. New England Radicals
and men of Brownlow’s stamp would oppose
this. But the North would sustain il as it
would transfer the political power to the West,
and would defeat all the Radicals in the North
western States who would oppose it. S.

Establishing a Raw.
There never was a time when the Southern
press was performing its duty to the South
more vigilantly, fearlessly and usefully than
now. The evidence of this ability, tldcliLy and
efficiency can be found in the curses, impreca
tions, groans and yells of all the detected, flag
ellated and exposed petty military tyrants, un
worthy judges, thievish cotton agents, and
mousing agents of the Freedraen’s Bureau, who
were turned loose to prey upon the Southern
people before and at the end of the war. But
for the press, these harpies would have strip
ped our people as bare as a pack of cayotcs de
vour the carcass of a buffalo. -~
But the press has been the terror ol the ra
pacious reptiles throughout the Southern
■States, from the Rio Grande to the Potomac.—
Whodoes not know that the agony of unendu
rable suffering and torture from a hundred
keen pens made Underwood bellow like a hall
ilaycff hull of Baslmn, when he was best here.
How very refreshing are the anathemas of the
ITamiltons, the Browqlows and the Holdens,
who sutler the same merciless tortures. A
Southern editor feels the grim joy of a veteran
grimalkin at the squeaks of the rats in the
drawers of the Freedmen’s Bureau, when they
are hunted duwn and caught suffed with rations
and dishonest perquisites.
The latest tribute to the usefulness of tlic
press is the denunciation of the able journals of
Memphis by the mendacious and thoroughly
unscrupulous committee of Congress which was
sent to that city to manufacture capital for the
Radicals out of the “ negro riots,” Messrs.
Gulliver, Munchausen and Sinbad, of tbe com
mittee, expected to have an easy time at Mem
phis coucocting slanders and libels upon tlic
Southern people.
But the Memphis journals straightway fell
upon these.emissaries of Stevens and roasted
them elaborately every morning. In their re
port they are almost as abusive of the Memphis
papers as the tortured Underwood was of the
loyal press of this city, The unanimity with
which these disturbers of the peq.ee of the na
tion and most unscrupulous revolutionists and
disuuionists, abuse the patriotic press of the
South, is a splendid tribute to its efficiency.—
When a Southern editor claps a blister plaster
between tlie shoulders of one of these malig
nants and hears a howl Os pulff from the pa
tient, he knows that the blister is drawing
finely. In such cases it is best to “ establish a
raw,” and omit to dress the iuiiamcd cuticle
with tlic usual comforting cabbage leaf.
Hindman on Foote.
I<’oote having abused Hindman in his receut
book I s polished off by the exiled Confeder
ate. We give the concluding paragraph :
“This is my first vindication of military
transactions through the press. It is made ie-
Inetantly, because alienee becomes a champion
ol a fallen cause. Perhaps, also, it is necessary
as fair-minded men must, in good time, arise to
write tlic history of our great and mournful
struggle. Still, it may he well to put facts like
the foregoing within their reach, end this is the
motive that actuates me. As for the book be
fore mentioned, it can do no hurt where the
author is known, liepudiator. Bond Payer,
Whig, Democrat, Know Nothing, Unionist,
Secessionist—everything by turns, and nothing
long ; a political mendicant in half the States,
and a refugee from every party, betrayed and
despised by all ; placarded as a “ constitutional
liar,” years ago, by the great captive whom he
now at one moment slanders, and at the next
insults with a spurious sympathy ; thrust, forth
from Mississippi with the formal declaration of
her House of HV-prcseiitiilives impugning his
veracity branded on bis foi. lmad with such an
teeedouU up to 1801, and witli the black
record, painted by himself, of time-server,
lactiouist, traitor and sycophant during and
since the war; howling against the North
when Southern fortunes were at their foot; em
barrassing our counsels when the tide began to
ebb; ignominioiisly deserting to the enemy
when great disasters betel us, and fawning upon
that enemy when our country’s subjugation
had been wrought—how is it possible for him
to win credence from the public or to pass his
base lies lor truth '! Relish his acts as they
may, his present masters must loathe him, and
even our former slaves must turn from him in
disgust. I heard a little while! back that he
was dead, and was surprised that a sentiment
charitable towards him sprang up in my mind ;
it was that lie might turn out to have had at
least as much grace as Iscariot, and have hang
ed himself in atonement lor three score years
of continuous lying and treachery, lie must
he aware that his career can fitly have but this
termination. His own arc the only hands vile
enough to end his existence, and the maw of
the carrion crow is liis natural place of sepul

A Swindler — Pass Him Around. —During
the early part of the past week, a young man
of medium Bize, black hair and eyes, bronzed
complexion, about twenty-five years of age,
evidently a Creole, calling himself Henry lie
Verc, made liis appearance in Richmond, and
sought out the -musical gentlemen connected
with the Sabbath schools of the various de
nominations of our city, stating to them that
he was a native of New Orleans aiid on a musi
cal tour to get funds, having lost all he had by
the war, to enable him to visit Europe and
complete liis education. He announced that
his plan was to hold musical conventions of
the girls and boys, supplying them with sheets
of poetry and teaching the music lor 50 cents a
head —after getting live or six hundred he
would have a lloral procession and concert tor
the benefit of the Sunday school cause in Rich
mond. lie brought a letter of introduction
from Rev. A. Gordon Bakewell, of Mt. Olivet
Church, Algiers, . Louisiana. He wrote and cir
culated notices to be read in the various
churches of this city on Sabbath last—many ol
which were read, announcing that he would
commence at Virginia Hall yesterday to organ
ize ; but alas for all human hopes. Saturday’s
mail brought papcis containing circulars from
Rev. A. Gordon Bakewell, and Mr. T. W.
Guthrie, ot North Carolina, denouncing him as
a swindler, imposter and humbug, and warning
the public against him. Unfortunately yester
day morning he got wind ol the fact that the
papers had arrived, and before the warrant,
which was issued for liis arrest, could be
served, lie had flown to other parts.
Our friends of neighboring cities and towns
would do well to look out for him, and if. he

Which—The KiniVß or the Fork?—Ex
tract from an unpublished work on “Manners,”
by a Prof. Osgood :
Very often, in both'Frcneli and English lite
rature of the lighter sort, you meet with a vast
deal of affected horror at the idea ol' eating
with the knife instead of the fork. A French
man just landed, on a first visit to the United
States, was so shocked at seeing a Western mail
conveying his food to his mouth with his knife,
at the Astor House dinner table, in New York,
that he rushed from the house and re-embarked
for “ dear France ” without delay! We say
much of this horror must lie affected, for the
reason that we have known some hundreds as
Worthy and well-bred gentlemen as are to be
found ip London or Paris, who have been using
their knives in tiiat “horrid” way all their
lives without inflicting a single scratch. Be
sides, is there uot quite as much danger in
using the fork as the knife ? Is there uot as
much danger of sticking the fork in the tongue
or the gunuLPr the Ups, as of cutting the same
witli the knife?
This Miss Naneyisli horror of using the knife
at the table is about on a par with the marvel
ous squeamishness of that fine old Virginia
gentleman who forced his daughter to. discard
her plighted lover, after giving his own con
sent, too, because at breakfast, one morning,
the poor fellow inadvertently cut his muffin
open with a knife instead of tearing it in two
with his lingers, as proscribed in the aristo
cratic old gentleman’s “ Code of Good Beha
vior.” * M i
Unquestionably the lork is as dangerous as
the knife,'in the Lands of a careless feeder, par

selves. It was hfrrdv'hetleclnreil, to satisfy the
American merchants, -who always demanded
something finer than the finest thing they have

Tbe Atlantic Telegraph,
The following additional dispatch from Mr.
FieUJ, details some of the particulars connect
ed with the late successful laying of the Atlan
tic Telegraphic cable:
Heart’s Content, July 29.’—The steamship
Great Eastern left Shcrness on Saturday at noon,
June 20th, arrived at Bear Haven on Thursday
nmrniiig. Suly feth, and received tlie baiauge df
bi* coats- anil provisions. The other steamers
jofbed the Great Eastcrnqit Bear Haven as fol
lows : The Unicorn and Terrible on Friday,
July 6th, the Albany on the 7th, and the Med
way on Tuesday, 10th instant. On Saturday,
the 7th of July, the end of the Irish shore cable
was landed from the Unicorn.
At 2:30 the next morning the laying was suc
cessfully completed, and the end buried in 94
fathoms; latitude 5140, lougilude 180. The
distance Irom tlie telegraph house at Vaientia is
27)4 miles; 29% miles of the cable was paid
out ou Wednesday, 11th instant. 11. M. S.
Racoon arrived at Bear Haven to render all the
assistance in her power. Thursday, 12th inst.,
the Great Eastern, Medway, Albany, Terrible
and Racoon were near one another. Services
were held at Velentia, and prayers offered up
for the successful laying of tlie cable. Friday,
the 13th, the shore eud was connected to the
main cable on board the Great Eastern, at 2:40,
[). m. The telegraph fleet started for New
foundland, and the Racoon returned to Valen
tia. The telegraph fleet sailed iu the following
order: The Terrible ahead of the Great Eastern
on the starboard bow, (lie Medway on the port
and the Albany ou the starboard quarter. The
weather w:is thick and foggy, with heavy rains.
Signals were sent through the cable on board
the Great Eastern and to the telegraph house at
Valenti:- Two thousand four hundred and
forty nautical miles found perfect.
Saturday, 14tli—Distance run 108 miles ; cable
payed out 116 miles.

j payed out 118 miles, which with shore end off
Vaientia, distance 27 miles, cable payed out 29
miles, makes tbe distance run 1,669 miles, and
payed out 1,864 miles.
Arrived at Heart’s Content at 8, a. in., Fri
day, July 27th. Average speed of the ship
from the time splice was made until we saw
land, was a little less than five nautical miles per
hour, and cable has been paid out at an aver
age ol live-aud-a-half miles per cent. The
weather lias been more pleasant than 1 have
ever known it to be ou the Atlantic at this
season of the year. We have had alternate days
of rain, sunshine, fogs ami squalls. I have re
quested John U. Dean, Secretary of Anglo-
American Telegraph Company, to send you by
the lirst opportunity, for the Associated Press,
twenty-five copies of his diary, which will give
you a detailed account of ups and downs expe
rienced in laying a cable across the Atlantic.—
We have been in constant communication with
Vaientia since the splice was made ou the 13th
instant, and have daily received news from Eu
rope, which was posted up outside ol the tele
graph office for the information of all ou board
of the Great Eastern, and signaled to other
ships. After taking ip coal the telegraph ship
will sail for the spot where the cable was lost
last year, to recover the eml and complete the
second line between Ireland and New Found
land, arid then the Medway will proceed to lay
the new cable across the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The cable will be opened in a few days, and all
messages sent to Europe iu the order they arc re
ceived at Heart’s Content. I cannot find words
suitable to convey my.admiration for the men
who have so ably conducted the nautical, engi
neering and electrical departments of this enter
prise so successfully, amidst dangers which re
quired to be seen to be appreciated, in tact,
all on board tlie telegraph fleet and all connect
ed with the enterprise have done their very
best to have the cable made and laid in perfect
eonkition, ami lie who rules winds and waves
has c rowned their united efforts with perfect
success. Cyrus W. Field.
Nt;w York Hotter than Rio de Janeiro.
—A correspondent ot the New York Express
writes as follows:
The extraordinary heat during the month of
July having generally been compared to that
of the Tropics, the following comparison witli
the range of the thermometer at Rio de Janeiro
during a residence of upwards of twenty years
may be interesting at the present time :
The thermometer was there
marked at 1”, in., and the
average of the hottest
mouth (February) was t>7 deg. up 88 deg.
The highest ever noted, and
lint very rarely , was deg.
The average range the lit si 17
days of July, at 5, p. m., lias
been 87 deg. 75 uiiu. The
difference between noon and
5, p. in., being fully -) deg.,
the mean average of the
month at noon would be
1 ully 93 deg.
Therefore, we have experienced Irom -1 deg.
to 5 deg. greater bout than the average at Rio
de Janeiro. A regular sea breeze sets in there
before noon and continues till about 10, p. in.
The days being shorter and nights longer by
I}4 hours, the latter are comparatively cool,
and sleep is not interfered with, ns it has been
this month. J. G.
Removal of the Dead from the Crater
Near Petersburg.—The Express ol the :10th
gays :
Since Thursday last, about four hundred
bodies of Federal and Confederate dead liave
been removed from the immediate vicinity of
the “Crater,” and that still a large number re
main. These bodies are placed in strong
boxes, and re-interred in the cemetery at Pop
lar Grove, where such Confederates as are
taken up aye buried in u separate square. In u
few days digging operations will be commenc
ed in the cavity of the “ Crater ” itself, where
some two hundred or more Federal soldiers
were killed and covered over. It is the inten
tion of the Government to liave tile remains of
every soldier, Federal or Confederate, removed
from the lines of inis vicinity and interred in
the cemetery at Poplar Grove, where such of
them as are known will be marked.
Scandal about the Queen. —The Loudon
correspondent of the New York Tribune writes:
There is a current scandal about Queen Vic
toria afloat which seemed so preposterous that
1 did not care to mention it before, but as it
waxes apace, and has even got into print, in
Punch, and elsewhere, I do so. It may have
crossed Mr; Atlantic in other ways. Punch,
then, in liis last number but one, published the
following Court Circular:
“Balmoral, Tuesday.
Mr. John Brown walked on the Slopes, lie
subsequently partook of a haggis. In the even
ing Mr. John Brown was pleased to listen to a
bagpipe. Mr. John Brown retired early.”
This Mr. John Brown is said to be a Scotch
guardsman, who possesses a most remarkable
resemblance to the late Prince Albert. The
Queer affects his society, is.said to he very fond
of him — to believe that lie is her late husband
resuscitated in answer to her prayers, et cetera
—to be, in short, crazy on the subject, if not on
others. 1 shall not write, but you luny easily
imagine how the thing is talked about in pri
vate.
•What ark Your Raueious Views?—The
following is going the rounds of the Southern
papers, though it is easy to perceive it originat
ed in the brain of a “ down caster: ”
About seven miles from Richmond I saw a
man lying under the shade of a tree, assiduous
ly chewing tobacco. Alter saluting him and
asking him several questions, to which I re
ceived lazy yeses and lioes, I asked him to what
churches the people in that neighborhood
usually went.
“ Well, uot much to auy,”
“ What are their religious views ?”
“ Well, not much of any.”
‘“ Well, my Iriendj what are your religious
views ? ” I asked.
The man answered lazily and sleepily, “ My
own opinion is, that them as made me ’ll take
care of me.”
A Parental Letter.— The following letter
was written by a father to his eon at college :
“ My Dear Son : 1 write to send you your
new socks which your mother has just knit by
cutting down some ot mine. Your mother
sends you ten dollars without my knowledge,
and for fear you would not spend it wisely, I
kept back half, and only send you five. Your
own mother and I are well, except that your
Sister lias got the measels, which we think
would spread among the other girls if Tom had
not had them before, and he is the only one
left. I hopp you will do honor to my teaching;
if you do not, you are a donkey, and your mo
ther and myself are your affectionate parents.”
The Largest Girl.—A correspondent at
Athens, Tennessee, gives the following descrip
tion of what he styles the largest girl in the
world : “ She Jives at Sweetwater, Tennessee,
weighs oue hundred and twenty-five pounds,
nud is naiucb Alice Leroy Lcatli. She is five
yfears old, blue eyed, dark hatred, rosy cheeked,
quick spoken, and has a beautiful countenance.”
Her lather was killed in the Uniou army at Re
saca. The little sweet monster is no show, but
is a remarkably well-developed specimen of
Young America.
Chawls.—A London correspondent, says
Dickens, is very careful about the arrangements
made for his readings; having invariably a little
red velvet table, with a shelf on one side for
handkerchief and water, and on the other a lit
tle blo’ck for the hook, to which he almost
never refers. He dresses in rather a conspicu
ous way, flourishing a big watch chain with
charms, large jeweied shirt studs, and a little
bouquet in the lappet of a dress coat.

A New and Grand Epoch In Medicine !
1)k. Maggiri. is the founder of a new Medical System!
The quantitarians, whose vast internal doses enfeeble
the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give prece
dence to the man who restores health anti appetite, with
Irom one to two of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with a box or so of his wonderful and
all healing: Salve. These two great specifics of the Doctor
are fast superseding all the stereotyped nostrums es the
day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel’s Pills aud Salve
have opened the eyes of the public to the inefficiency of
the (so called) remedies of others, and u&p.whieh people
have so long tylindly depended. Maggiel’s Pills are not
of the cIaRM that are swallowed by the dozen, and of
which every box full taken creates an absolute necessity
tor another. One or two of Maggiel’s Pills suffices to
place the bowels in perft-ct order, tone the stomach,
create an appetite, and render the spirits light and buoy
ant ! There is no griping, and no reaction in the form of
constipation. Jf the liver is affected, its functions are
restored: and if the nervous system is feeble, is invigo
rated. This last quality makes th*gn*4iq|4lfvery desi
rable for the wahts of dolic&te aud
eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the disen
fectant power of MaggiePs Salve. In tact, ft is here an
nounced that Maggiel’s Bilious, Dysptptio tnd Diarrhea
Pjl/n cure where all others faiL While for Hum*. Scalds,
Chilblains, Cuts and all abrasions <jf the skin, Muggier*
Salve is infallible.

CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
HAS PRODUCED A REVOLUTION IN
MEDICINE.
What may seem almost incredible is, that many dis
eases hitherto considered hopelessly incurable are fre
quently cured in a few days or weeks; and we cheer
fully invite the investigations of the liberal minded
and scientific to cures which have no parallel at the
present day.
During the past live years we have contended with
obstacles and overcome opposition us herculean as
were ever encountered by any reformers.
RAPIDITY OF CURE.
Home say, “ Your cures arc too quick,” while others
doubt their permanence, and think that diseases can
only be cured by the slow, recuperative process of Na
ture.
This is our reply : In health, the body, like a well
balanced scale, is in a stateof equilibrium, But when,
from any cause, down goes one side of the scale, we
have the effects of disease. What is requisite is to re
store the normal balance of the scale.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Is a positive and specific remedy for all diseases origi
nating from an Impure State of the Blood, and for all
(hereditary) Diseases transmitted from parent to child.
PARALYSIS.
It is so universally admitted that* Constitution Life
Syrup is the only effective means of restoration in the
various forms ol Paralysis, that we need not reiterate
that It is emphatically the great Life-giving Power.
DYSPEPSIA.
Indigestion, Weight at Stomach, Flatulence,
Fiver Complaint, Want of Appetite, Hail
Breath, Constipation, Biliousness.
SCROFULA.
struma. Kina' » «nrli(ny«, r.ry
sipelas, Ulceration, Salt Rheum.
This taint (hereditary and acquired) tilling lile with
untold misery, is by all usual medical remedies incu
rable.
RHEUMATISM.
[Arthritis,] Lumbago, Neuralgia , Sciatica,
Gout, Tic Doloreanz.
If there is any disease in which the Constitution
Life Syrup is a sovereign, it is Rheumatism and ils
kindred affections. The most intense pains are almost
instantly alleviated—enormous swellings are reduced.
Cases, chronic or vicarious, of Iwedty or forty years’
standing have been cured by us.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Purges the system entirely from all the evil effects of
Mercury, removing the Bad Breath and curing the
Weak Joints and Rheumatic Pains which the use of
Calomel is sure to produce. It hardens Spongy Gums,
and secures the Teeth as tirinly as ever.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP.
Eradicates, root and branch, all Eruptive Diseases of
the Skin, like
ulcers, pihpi.es, blotches,
And all other difficulties of this kind, which so much
disligure the outward appearance of both males and
females, often making them disgusting objects to
themselves and llicir friends.
For all forms of Ulcerative Diseases,
Either of the Nose, Throat, Tongue, Spine, Forehead,
or scalp, no remedy lias ever proved its equal.
Moth Patches upon the female face, depending upon
a diseased action of the Liver, are very unpleasant to
the young wife and mother. A few bottles of Consti
tution Life Syrup will correct the secretion and re
move tlie deposits, which is directly under the skin.
Diseases of the Liver, giving rise to Languor, Dizzi
ness, Indigestion, Weak Stomach, or an ulcerated or
cancerous condition of that organ, accompanied witli
buriiiug or other unpleasant symptoms, witl be re
lieved tiy tlie use of
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP.
As a General Blood Purifying Agent, the Life Syrup
stands unrivalled by any preparation in the world.
THE RICH AND POOR
Arc liable to tlie same disease. Nature and Science
have made the Constitution Life Syrup for tlie benefit
of all.
PURE BLOOD
Produces healthy men and women; and if tlie consti
tution is neglected in youth, disease and early deatli
is the result. Do not delay when tlie means are so
near at hand, and within tlie reach of all.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Is the Pooi" Man's Friend, and the Rich Man’s
Blessing.
