“I’d Choose to be a Baby.”
[The following parody, bv Fred. Buck
ley. on the lieautiful ballad. “I'd Choose
to be a Daisy," is published in sheet music
by one of the music houses in New York: j
I choose to lie a baby,
A darling little flower,
Without a care or sorrow
As I was in childhood’s hour;
When ladies (heaven bless-them)
They’d kiss ineand they’d vow
That thev could almost eat me—
Why don’t they do it now ?
When I used to i»o a baby
They’d to my cradle creep;
They’d kiss me and ling and cuddle me,
Till I fell off to sleep,
Yes, kiss and squeeze me too,
Till I felt anyhow ;
They’d even wash and dress me—
W'jiy don't they do it now?
For pleased they were to nurse me,
Thev would take me on their lap,
And would stuff my little stomach full
Ofhollipop and pap;
They would show me tops and buttons,
And if 1 made a row,
They’d press me to their bosoms—
vViiy don’t they doit now?
When the ladles used to love mo,
They would make me such nice clothes;
They would make me nice morocco shoes,
And wipe my little nose.
And when the shades of evening came,
And sleep came o’er my brow,
They said it’s time to go to bed—
But they never say it now.

The President and the Tennessee Legisla
ture—What “I >. It.” sajs— Importance
of the vote of that State—Bitter assaults
on the President—The Philadelphia
Union Convention—More than a mere

Washington, .June 29.
Radical politicians in and. out of Con
gress have been unusually savage ou the
President for the past two days, as they
allege, he is striving to prevent the adop
tion by the Legislature of Tennessee,, of
the Constitutional amendment recently pro
posed by Congress. John W. Forney thus
insanely raves, in his Chronicle of this
date:
“Andrew Johnson pretends to boa
State-rights Democrat, and yet his agents
are busily employed intimidating or bribing
the Legislatures while they arc prejxtring
to discharge one of the gravest acts of
sovereignty. j Reliable intelligence from
Tennessee, for instance, proves that they
are working to leave without a quorum the
Legislature of that State, which is to meet
on the 4th of .J uly next, under the call of
Governor Brownlow, in response to
this same circular letter of thu Sec
retary of State enclosing the joint reso
lution of Congress. That they are acting
under the direct orders or with the knowl
edge of Andrew Johnson may he inferred
from the fact that he has already rewarded
the men who bolted from the same Legis
lature on a recent occasion when that body
was in the not of disfranchising the rebels.
The same expedient is to be tried again.—
What a spectacle ! Andrew Johnson, who
was so anxious to force Tennessee hack into
the Union in 1865, and to keep the traitors
out, that he telegraphed here to ask to be
excused from being present at Mr. Lin
coln’s inauguration, so that lie might give
personal attention to the work, now uses
the Presidential thunderbolts to keep Ten
nessee out because loyal men hare organized
a government on his ohm plan.”
It is not necessary for the friends of the
President either to admit or deny the
charge that efforts arc being made to pre
vent the assembling of a quorum of the
Tennessee Legislature on the 4th of July
next. The President would not accede
either the lbrmals of duty or of propriety
by advising members not to visit Nashville
and constitute themselves a tail to the
Radical kite. Indeed, there is no such a
body as the Tennessee Legislature, for one
fourth of the scats aro arbitrarily vacant,
although the people are anxious to be re
presented. A full House, as it should now
be constituted, would number eighty-four
members. Yet. by the revolutionary no
tion of the Republican majority, only sixty
odd are permitted to participate in its pro
ceedings. Now, when the readers of the
Chronicle A Sentinel are informed that,
only Iqrty-one members voted for the act
of disfranchisement 1 of its citizens'liy the
Legislature of that State, and that at
least one of this number from West
Tennessee, and some half dozen from
East Tennessee, will never vote for
the amendment in question, because
of the negro equality which it contains, they
will readily perceive that, if the entire
House were present, the plan of Congress
would be rejected by a decided majority.—
So, with all t heir boasted struggle in Brown
low's Legislature, they are in a minority,
if they would act fairly; but as they are
certain not to so act, the next best thing is
for the Conservatives to stay at home.—
And this they will doubtless do. The
casual reader may conceive that I am giv
ing too much importance to this body of
nobodies. Not so, however. The Radi
cals must secure Tennessee and Arkansas
for their petty act of tyranny and usurpa
tion, else their whole scheme falls to the
ground, even if they are sustained by all of
the so-called loyal States. Hence their
seal for Brownlow's success, and lienee the
magnitude of the question in all sections of
the country. Each side is exerting its ut
most energy, and the prominent men of
each party are fullv posted as to the pro
gramme of the other. If there is not
treachery in an unexpected quarter, there
will not be tifty-six members of the House
at Nashville on the 4th proximo—the Con
stitution prescribing two-thirds as the num-
ber necessary to make a quorum.
The country is but too familiar with the
fact that the tedious hours of the sessions
in both Houses of Congress are consumed
in bitter and even brutal assaults upon the
President. It is not generally known, how
ever—for it would seem incredible —that
those who are the most unrelenting ene
mies of the President’s policy are the most
obsequious beggars for the patronage of
this same Andrew Johnson. For instance,
Senator Clarke, of New Hampshire, whose
term expires on the 4th of March, 1807,
is clamorous for the United States Gener
alship for the District of New Hampshire.
Let him seek. I shall be much disappoint
ed if he finds anything.
The city is full of New York politicians,
seeking to control the appointment of Navy
Agent for that city, made vacant by the
death of Moses F. Odell. Among ot hers 1
notice Maj.. Gen. John A. l>ix, who zeal
ously sustains the President, and from
whom good service may be expected in the
fall campaign in his State.
The proposed National Convention is
growing in popular favor. Those who con
ceived the idea, as I understand, do pot
expect to have any new or independent par
ty. Indeed, their objects and views soar
high above the grovelling ambition of a
mere partisan convention. It is not intend
ed to make up any political State in the in
terest oT any political aspirant; but is simp
ly intended to consolidate the supporters
of our undivided Union of thirty-six equal
States, and to force the Radicals to meet
the issue as it really is. Northern Conser
vatives earnestly desire the South to send
her honest, wisest and most discreet men.
I should be recreant to the South and to
truth if I were to attempt to conceal the
fact that the struggle between the Radicals
and Conservatives will be fearfully exciting
or that the Radicals are buoyant with the
hope of success. They are compactly or
ganized, thoroughly drilled, and have
flushed money bags, which they spend
lavishly to insure success, and are as liero-
K ‘ a '*> brave, as cowards are when there is
no blood to be spilled, and it will require
all the tact oi Andrew Johnson, the great
tribune of the people, with the united sup
port ot all the opponents of the Radical
policy whether these opponents have
honorably served the South in the field,
fought tor the rederals or acted neutral.
It is the part of wisdom to remember this,
and the tnends of the President at the Na
tional. t a piml earnestly desire to see the
x uiladelphia v onvention. as patriotic in
proceedings, and as successful in its re
sults. as the most ardent Southerner could
wish.
Congress will not adjourn before the Ist
of August, if then. Richard.
JOTTIMrS FROM THE CAPITAL.
Difficulties of the Tariff <iuestion—T.og-
Koliiug between the Eastern and West
ern Interests.
[.Special Correspondence of the Chronicle & Sentinel.]
Washington, Saturday, June 30.
Now that the closing fortnight of the
session is u]»on us. the question of Recon
struction, whicli the Radicals affect to con
sider the great political puzzle of the day,
seems to he completely overlooked or for
gotten by Congress, in the presence of the
mighty problems of finance and commerce
which touch the pocket nerve of the great
and prosperous North. For the last three
days the of Representatives has
been fiercely
WRANGLING OVER TlfE NEW TARIFF.
There is no doubt that vast amounts of
money have been raised amongst the man
ufacturers of the North and Northeast, to
influence the action of Congress on this im
portant measure; and a veiy large propor
tion of the members exhibit an interest in
the details of the new bill which they rare
ly feel on any subject in which they have
no direct pecuniary interest. The true
principle of legislation in the enactment of
a Tariff is a very simple one: namely, to
fix the duty upon each imported article at
as high a rate as the article will bear, with
out risking it material diminution of the
whole amount of such article to be import
ed. This is clearly the proper theory upon
which to frame a tariff from which it is de
sired to raise the largest possible amount
of revenue; for it would manifestly result
in loss rather than gain to the Government
to increase the duty on any particular com
modity one-third, if, by so doing, the impor
tations of that article should lie diminished
to the extent of one-half or two-thirds.—
The Democrats upon the floor of the House
have feebly striven to enforce these views,
but their remonstrances are laughed at by
the majority who' are bent upon framing
the new bill so as to make it, virtually,
A PROHIBITORY TARIFF.
They care nothing about the public rev
enue on the one hand, or the interest
of the masses of the people who are con
sumers, on the other. They are solely in
tent upon imposing so heavy a duty on all
classes of foreign manufactures as will prac
tically operate to exclude them altogether
from our markets, and leave the entire
population of the country at the mercy of
the monopolists of manufacturing New
England. This is the game of our present
legislators; and, for the time, at least,
they cannot fail to win. They manage it
in this way. The representatives of the'
lumbermen of Maine vote to “protect” the
interest of the woolen manufacturers of
Philadelphia, while the representatives of
the latter reciprocate by putting up the
duty on foreign lumber. The member
from Lowell is found to be a stout support
er of a toriff that will suit the views (i. e.
fill the pockets) of the iron-masters of Penn
sylvania ; and the members from Pennsyl
vania are eager to return the compliment
by voting for a duty on calicoes that will
enable the mills of Lowell to double the
price of their prints, without the fear of
foreign competition. And thus, through
out the whole range of manufactured goods,
there is an organgized and combined move
ment to enact a tariff compared with which
all former achievements or the “protection
ists” will be trifling. Th" leading advo
cates of the measure do not take the trou
ble to disguise their real views; they open
ly announce that their object is to decrease
the revenue, for the sake of increasing the
protection. On the other band, its oppo
nents denounce the proposed tariff, be
cause, as they contend, now more than ever
before, there exists a pressing
NECESSITY FOll A LARGE GOLD REVENUE
I okeep up the credit of the Government.
There is no possible pretext for increasing
the rates of tariff on the score of revenue,
for the existing tariff has yielded one hun
dred and fifty millions of revenue in gold
coin, equal at the present price of gold to
two hundred and twenty-five millions of in
ternal taxes. It cannot bedenied that any
serious diminution of this splendid Govern
mental income from imports will have a
disastrous influence upon the price of United
States securities both at home and abroad.
These are considerations of a very grave
character, for the financial condition ofthe
country just now is far from being sound.
Although the drain of coin to Europe has
apparently ceased for the present, the cur
rency is not recovering from its recent de
preciation as most people had hopefully an
ticipated ; values are still fluctuating; prices
are still high, and business, inconsequence,
is unsettled and dull. Another complaint
against the new’ tariff measure is that it in
volves
A BREACH OF THE PUBLIC FAITH,
by applying the new rates to goods impor
ted unde- the present tariff and temporarily
lodged the duties being unpaid in the
braided warehouses of the government.
This construction of the new tariff, in giving
it a kind of retrospective operation, is con
sidered to be peculiarly unjust to importers
nnd helping to raise the price of specie.
The New York papers intimate that, un
less this feature ot the bill should he modi
fled, the "bulls” expect to be able to force
gold up to 160.
In my next letter I shall give some in
teresting developments ofthe struggle now
going on between the Radicals and the
President in relation to the ratification ol
the proposed Constitutional amendment.

Changed His Mind.
A gentleman passed through Louisville
a few days ago, on his way to a Northern
city, to settle un an old ante-war debt of
his father’s,. ana. if possible, to purchase a
new stock of goods on time. He found the
merchant indisposed, and called upon him
at his residence, and while there his atten
tion was attracted by a rather peculiar
shaped chair, which he recognized as be
longing to his mother, and which had dis
appeared.from his father’s house during
Johnston’s campaign in North Georgia ; a
second glance discovered his sister’s piano,
and a third a handsomely painted oil por
trait of himself. 'He asked the merchant
how they came into his possession, and re
ceived answers that lie knew to be false,
lie then stated that liis father who fell fight
ing for the. Confederacy, enjoined upon him
the duty of satisfying all just claims against
bis estate, and that he had called upon him
for that purpose, not being aware that he
(the merchant) held his father’s household
furniture as collateral security for the debt,
and remarked that there were a number of
portraits and some valuable plate taken
from his father s house at the same time,
and enouired if he had secured enough to
satisfy his claim when the articles just dis
covered disappeared. The merchant storm
ed and threatened at first, hut when hecom
pared the portrait with the original, he
concluded to change his tactics, and claim
ed that the goods were legally spoils of war.
Our triena, it in the same
light, concluded tKb debt was satisfied and
brought Ins money back to Louisville and
bought a stock of goods for cash. — Ex.

Gov. Patten of Ala., has written a letter
wherein he states that Gen. Swayne. Com

of that section, and that the majority of
them are whites. The Governor savs

To the Editor of the Army and Navy
Journal 1
SiR : —The Independent of the 24th of
May contains an article headed "The
South Victorious in Georgia.” devoted
mainly to bitter _ misrepresentation and
abuse of Brevet Major-General Brannan,
and laudation of Brevet Major-General
Saxton and Captaih J. E. Bryant, editor
of the Loyal Georgian. Jt besrins by wav
ing- “We pass by General Tillson, who
«aims to be merely a subordinate, though
he admits himself totally opposed to dec
orating the graves of our soldiers bv the
the hands of the little children." it will
strike the vast number of officers and sol
piers Vi ho, like (vcneral Tillson, served in
a sulmrdinate position, with some aston-
LBhment, that tliis fact should elicit a sneer
from the Independent. General Tillson
does not, and never has, admitted that he
was opposed to decorating the graves of
our soldiers, hut, on the contrary, pro
nounces the statement a malicious false
hood, whether made by the editor of the
Loyal Georgian, who hates Gen. Tillson,
because the latter detected him in obtain
ing money from the negroes under false
pretences, and interfered for their protec
tion, or by the editor of the Independent.
It asks, "Who is this General Brannan?
W r e answer that he is an honest, brave and
competent officer, who has never been sus
pected of misappropriating a single dollar
of public funds; who, throughout the war,
lias been at the front, and has always dis
tinguished himself by his courage and ca
pacity on the field of battle. lie was one
of the division commanders who stood firm
in the terrible battle of Chickamauga, ex
hibiting such heroic courage as to win the
enduring respect and admiration of the
Army of the Cumberland. He is an offi-
cer who hes won the confidence and good
opinion of such men as Thomas, Sherman
and Grant. And yet this gallant soldier, to
whom, in common with its defenders in the
field andunderfire the country owes a debt of
public gratitude, is held up to public ex
cration in a widely-read religious journal,
simply to gratify party spite ; and a domes
tic sorrow more terrible than death occur
ring without fault on his part, which has
saddened his whole life, and which time
had partly healed, is ruthlessly torn open
and exposed to public gaze, and this not in
the name of justice, but in a paper devoted
to spreading the gospel of peace, and the
knowledge of that charity which thinketh
no evil, by an editor who probably never
heard the roar of battle, much less saw the
gleam of hostile bayonets; who defended
nis country in the hour of peril by urging
other men to go to the front, and whose
home and loved ones Gen. Brannan, by al
most reckless exposure of his life, helped
to make safe ana secure. But the wav is
over, the danger past, and the editor of
the Independent is exhibiting liis gratitude.
If this is an outgrowth of religious life, then
may the good Lord defend us from un
monding intercourse with its professors in
tho world to which wc are hastening.
And who is Brevent Major Gcueral Sax
ton, the idol of Horace Greely and the
editor of the Independent'! Will these
gentlemen tell the country tho battles in
which General Saxton fought? Will they
show when and whetc he has heard the
whiz of Rebel bullets, and give us the
names of tho generals upon whose recom
mendation he was promoted for gallant
service?' Will they explain the necessity
for his removing the financial records of
his office, and whether, or not he lias ac
counted to the Government and to tho
numerous benovelent societies for the large
sums of money received and disbursed by
him? Will they show why, under the
management of their pet, the Bureau be
came such a reproach and byward among
the people that not even the manly virtue
and heroic name of General Howard could
lift it above suspicion and contempt ?
Why, starting with three .States under his
charge, the Commissioner whom the whole
country honors, and whom no one suspects
of being governed by improper motives,
was compelled to remove him from one af
ter another, and finally from all? Was the
report made by Lieutenant General Grant,
which immediately preceded the removal
of General Saxton, and which was the re
sult of personal inspection, false and with
out foundation ? And is it a fact, as stated
in the New YorT Tribune, that General
Sqxton was removed to make room for a
more pliant tool of the Administration?
Have these gentlemen forgotten that the
tens of thousands of our country ’ s' defenders,
who fought in the Western army beside
General Brannan, afterwards swept through
this country with Sherman, and past the
dominion of General Saxon, and that they
know the record of these two generals ?
Are these editors anxious to excite the con
tempt of these brave men, who are now
scattered through our country, hy praising
the one whom they know and despise, ana
execrating the other whom they many
times saw expose himself in the heat of
battle ?
And who is Captain Bryant, editor of
the Loyal Georgian , a paper owned and
supported hy freed people, but which he is
controlling and prostituting to mean, per
sonal ends ? It would be a waste of words
to answer. Unless he changes his course,
there is good reason to believe that the an
swer wiff yet be written in the criminal rec
ords of this country. D.

Racing in England—Gladiateur at Ascoti
England.
The famous horse Gladiateur has just
won a race for the Gold Cup at Ascot, the
like of which was never before seen. Be
low we give Bell’s Life’s account, and a
notice from the Sportsman :
In anticipation of Gladiateur’s triumph,
there was quite an influx of our neighbors
from across the Channel, many of whom,
in company with Count Lagrange, watched
■ the race from the top ofttlie private stand
nearly in line with the judges' box. During
the afternoon the Count was cordially sa
luted by the Prince of Wales, and honored
with an introduction to the royal circle. —
With scarcely so strong a card as usual,
the racing before the Cup evoked only
passing interest, but as the time drew near
for the piece de resistance of the days the
crowd towards the royal inclosure was
something tremendous, and the difficulty
experienced by the police in clearing a pas
sage for the Cup horses from the paddock
to make the usual parade was far greater
than ever before experienced. Looked
upon for months as a match between
Gladiateur and Regalia, the absence of
any other competitors except Breadalbane
created no disappointment, and the ex
citement amongst the “general public” as
Gladiateur and Regalia emerged from the
paddock knew no bounds. As all the
minutiae in connection with the race are
detailed further on, we will not anticipate,
but it will not be out of place to state that,
memorable as were the dead heats between
Tim Whiffler and Buckstone. repeated at
a year's interval by General Peel and Ely,
both were now eclipsed, and the brilliant
rush with which the mighty Gaul made up
his ground, when the cheeks of his most
ardent worshippers began to blanch with
disappointment will never be forgotten.

ning at a slow pace, and passed the stand
six lengths in advance of Regalia, who was
about the same distance before Gladiateur.
In this way they proceeded for the first
throe quarters of a mile, when Breadalbane
improved the pace and bis lead at the
same time, heading Regalia fully a' dozen
lengths, and both turning the steam on at
high pressure, they rapidly left Gladiateur
in decending the hill, Grimshaw, “for fear
of accidents, easing him so much, that an
almost universal opinion was expressed on
the stand that he would never catch the
leading pair, large offers to back the field
resounding on all sides. No sooner, how
ever, lmdlie completed the descent of the

to make up his ground, as if by magic, and
Breadalbane gradually compounding, the

time than it takes to write it, the favorite
had run right up to his horses, all three
closing at the brick-kilns. Grimshaw, now
taking another pull, Breadalbane rnain
tined the lead till half way between the
kilns and the straight, where he resigned
in favor of Regalia. In rounding the turn,
Breadalbane was also headed by Gladia
teur, who came up on the outside, and ran
at the mare’s girths to within a distance
and half of home, where he quitted her,
and striding along all the way, passed the
post first by fortv lengths, amid tumul

The tiwiwing Crops.
The following is an extract from a letter
received by a gentleman in Augusta from
a friend n Thomas county, dated June
27th. who has been residing there for the
past nine years:
Mv crop is a perfect failure. I will not
make half a crop of corn, have already
thrown away a third of mv cotton with
the prospect of having to lose a third more,
and instead of making forty or fifty bales
as I expected I do not now' expect to make
ten. Tou know that I leased out my land,
and it has been so badly managed that the
crop will be almost an entire failure. I
am more disgusted with the free negro
system every- day, and will not, if I can
possible make any other arrangements for
a support of my family, ever plant another
acre under the present system. lam ex
ceedingly anxious to sell my place, and all
on it! to give possession at any time.
Should you see any person wishing to buy
such a place you would confer a great
favor on me by assisting me to sefl. I
have given up all hopes of our country
and can only see ruin ahead.. I believe
the North is almost a unit in their deter
mination to finally destroy us. But the
subject is too painful.

A Mrs. Rollins was brutally murdered
by two uegroes on the night of Wednes
day last, at or near No. 15, Central Rail
road. The lady's husband was in Savan
nah at the time, und the negroes beat her
to death with sticks, and robbed the house;
a white child.was severely beaten also.
The negroes escaped, and are supposed to
be making their way to Macon, as they
were last seen at Gordon.
The editor of the Knoxville Commercial
professes to have read a letter from Floyd
county. Georgia, in which a terrible affair
is chronicled, too terrible for belief. It is
in substance that three ladies were return
ing home from a visit to a neighbor, when
a negro came upon them in a secluded out
of-the-way place aud attempted to detain
them, but two succeeded in getting away
from him. The other one he took into the
woods and tied her and kept her there for
two days without food. Her friends found
her at the end of that time. The negro
was caught, and the lady was asked what
punishment she desired to have inflicted
on this demon. She replied she wanted
his arms cut off and then wished him
skinned alive. The sentence w r as executed.
The negro lived about ten minutes after
the operation.

one of the parties to the murder, was arrested
and taken in charge by the citizens who
burned him at the stake. A reward of
SSOO is offered for a man named William,
his associate in the crime, who was closely
pursued, and shot in tho face, but made
his escape. Most of those who witnessed
the fate of O’Bannon were negroes, and
they concurred in the opinion that ho de
served his terrible fate.

Agassiz and his Discoveries.
In tho July number of the Atlantic
Monthly , Prof. Agassiz throws down the
gauntlet of defiance to the opponents of
his glacial theory. In the first of a series
of papers on the “Physical History of the
Valley of the Amazons, ’ ’ he gave us the
first account yet received direct from him
self of the remarkable discoveries which
have attended his explorations in Brazil,
and announces his position in these positive
terms:
“I am prepared to find that the state
ment of anew phase of the glacial period
will awaken among my scientific colleagues
an opposition even more violent than that
by which the first announcement of my
views on this subject was met. I am,
however, willing to bide my time ; feeling
sure that, as the theory of the ancient ex
tension of glaciers in Europe has gradually
come to be accepted by geologists, so will
the existence of like phenomena, both in
North and South America, during the
same epoch, be recognized sooner or later
as part of a great series of physical events
extending over the whole globe. Indeed,
when the ice period is fully understood, it
will be seen that the absurdity lies in sup
posing that climate conditions so intense
could be limited to a small portion of the
world’s surface. If the geological winter
existed at alb it must have been cosmic;
and it _is quite as rational to look for its
traces in the western as the eastern hem
isphere, to tho south of the equator as to
north of it.”
Agassiz adds that he went to South
America with the expectation of finding in
the tropical regions new evidences of a by
gone glacial period; and to show that this
expectation was not unfounded begins a
detailed narrative of his observations.
Southern Pacific Railroad of Texas.
It will no doubt be gratifying to the
friends and stockholders of this enterprise to
learn the present status and fiiture pros
pects of the company. On the Ist of Au
gust next the road will be completed from
Shreveport, on Red river, to Marshall,
Texas, a distance of 42 miles. This, with
19 miles more graded west of Marshall, is
valued at $1,500,000; due to the State of
Texas, $150,000; floating debt, $50,000;
first mortgage bonds, $150,000, owned by
citizens of Louisville; transportation cer
tificates, $15,000; capital stock, $650,000;
total $1,015,000; surplus value, $485,000.
The company have secured from the
Shreveport Road 21 miles of the road for
the term of twenty years, without cost, on
ly keeping same in repair and turning
it over to trail at the expiration of that
time in good order.
It is tnc intention of the Company to
immediately commence the work west of
Marshall. After grading six miles more
(with the nineteen already graded) they
will then be entitled to the land grant of
10,240 acres per mile, or 156,000 acres, and
the loan of $6,000 per mile from the State
of Texas. It is estimated that not less than
1,500,000 acres of land and large sums in
money will be donated by individuals and
counties throughout which the road will
pass. Such is the enthusiasm that noth
ing can hinder its progress. We may safe
ly say that there is no other enterprise on
the oontinent in a more favorable position

*******
(From Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
Gentlemen : I have recently been laboring under the dis
tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of
the nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended
by friends, anu some of them tested, but without relief. Your
Ilooflaud’s German Bitters were recommended by persons who
had tried them, and whose favorable mention or these Bitters
induced me to try them. I must confess that 1 had an aversion
to Patent Medicines from the “thousand aud one” quack
Bitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and
drugged liquor upon the community in a sly way, and the ten
dency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard.
Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation,
I took it with happy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and grati
fying. 1 feel that I have derived great aud permanent benefit
f’from the use of a few bottles.
Very respectfully yours, IV. D. Seigfried,
No. 254 Shackamaxon street.
Jk.
(From the Rev. E. I). Fendall, Assistant Editor Christian
Ch ron icle, Philadelphia.)
I have derived decided benefits from the use oflioofland’s
German Bitters, and feel it my privilege to recommend them us
a most valuatle tonic to all who arc suffering from a general
debility, or from diseases arising from derangements of the
liver. Yours truly, E. D. Fendall.
(From [Rev. D. Merrigc, Pastor of the Passyunk Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
From the many respectable recommendations given to Dr.
Hoofland’s German Bitters, 1 was induced to give them atrial.
After using several bottles I found them to lie a good remedy
for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the stomach.
D. Meuuige.
(From Rev. William Smith, formerly Pastor of theVincen
town and MilviHe (N. J.) Baptist Churches.)
Having used in my family a number of bottles of your Hoof
land’s German Bitters, I have to say that 1 regard them as an
excellent medicine, specially adapted to remove the diseases
they are recommended for. They strengthen ami invgoratc
the system when debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the
liver, loss of appetite, etc. I have also recommended them to
several of my friends, who have tried them, and found them
greatly beneficial in the restoration of health.
Yours truly, Wm. Smith.

(Frotn the Rev. Joseph H. Kennard, Pastor ofthe Tenth Bap
11st Church.)
I have been frequently requested to connect my name with
commendations of different kinds of medicines, but regarding
the practice as out of my appropriate sphere, I have in all cases
declined j but with a clear proof in various instances, and par
ticularly in my own family, ofthe usefulness of Dr. Hoofland'a
German Bitters, 1 depart for once from my usual, course, to ex
press my full conviction that, for general debility ofthe system
and especially for liver complaint, it is a safe and valuable pre
paration. In some cases it may fail, but usually, 1 doubt not
it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above
causes.
Yours, very respectfully, J. H. Kennard,

B of the choice root, so combined with other substan
ces of still greater alterative powers as to afford an effectual
antidote for diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. Such
a remedy is surely wanted by those who suffer from Stru

cure must prove, as this has, of immense service to this
large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How complete
