DENSE'S Chill and Fever Mixture OF all the remedies ever discovered for the safe, certain and effectual cure of the Chill and Fever, none have i more merit and received the approbation of the public than DESSK’S CHILI* ANO FEVER IBIXTI'UK. It has been in use for the last 12 years, and theproprie j tor has never known a single instance where the Mixture i has failed to cure the Chill and Fever where it has been us j ed according to the advice and directions accompanying | it. On : bottle of this Mixture is generally sufficient to cure 1 two common cases of Chill and Fever. It is a source ot i great consolation to the proprietor that lie has been able to ! place so valuable a medicine before the public at such a low price ; for. while others have been selling their Pillsand ; Mixture at the high price ot $1 50 per box or bottle, this Mixture has been selling at only ?1 per bottle, being a large ’ saving to the purchaser besides the important, consideration iof procuring a better medicine. The public are most pos | itively assured that there is no mercury, antimony, arsenic, I or any other poisonous substances in any shape or form ! whatever in this Mixture, but it is composed entirely of i simple but potent substances, each of which is calculated ; to assist the others in expelling diseases from the system. The proprietor will insect the following testiniouialswhich I will proveto the satisfaction of every reasonable mind that i Dkxsk's Mixture neverfails to cure the Chills when taken I according to tne directions that accompany each bottle. The undersigned elti/cus cheerful!} - bear testimony to the efficacy of Dense’s Chill and Fever Mixture, as many cases have been successfully treated within our own per sonal knowledge,in which this Mixture was only used.

Picayuue of the 27ih ult., con tains the following interesting article in regard to the Bank of England : | It is premature to form an opinion on the | whole extent of the financial dis > der against j which the Bank of England has had to ake ! such extreme measures of precaution, or of their effect < n the movements of trade. We are without any data, more than the naked fact, that, on the promulgation of these meas ures, cotton rose largely in price, and there was a rc-actionof feeliug betokening a renewal of confidence and a restoration of b sin'ess.— But till this is vague, and may be < n y signs of one of those temporary reactions which spring-up suddenly? and pass away tv- sudden ly, when how to meet of themselves, and tire therefore, moved to elation or sunk re, depres sion without real cause on am new turn given to affairs by decided action anywhere. The next advices will be looked for with intense interest, as furnishing materials for judgment upon the exact nature of these measures and their probable result. The Bank of England has been twice redu ced to a similar strait since the resumption in 1823, at which date it had suspended specie payments for 25 years. In 1825 there was a commercial panic, and a run for gold, bout 70 (country banks stopped payment, and the Bank jof England was nearly drained of irs coin. It i was saved by the issue of one and two pound notes. It is recorded, that it was only by accident that these had been reserved in the bank—the issuing of them having been entire ly discontinued for four years The next was 7849 In that .case, the authority to issue I small notes was given, but was unt used. The panic abated,, and the notes were not issued. I In 1839, the bank was soreiy pressed, but | got relief by borrowing gold from ihe Bank of j France, and thus escaped the ‘necessity of ap : plying for a suspension of the laws in its favor, i Except during the panic of 1825. the Bank of England, when not suspended, never issued notes under the denomination <>f five pounds. The original limit was £2O. It, was after wards reduced to £lO, and then to £5, at which it was when the suspensions of 1797 took place. The issue of one and two pound notes was.then authorized, and continued un til 1821. The bank did not resume in full till 1823, but the suspension of small notes was effected two years before. A ‘considerable sum was not returned for many years after. At one time they constituted one third of the whole circulation, nine millions out, of twenty-seven millions of pounds.- regulated by P ei’s bill of 1819 for the j resumption of sic c payments —the bank j revival act of 1834, and Peel’s currency bill lof 1834. The last named is the more irapor | tant, iimsrnceh as i; prohibits the creation of ‘any new bank of issue, fixes the maximum to I wh ch those then in existence should be limited and lixes an amount, beyond wb ch the Bank of England should not lie permitted to issue, except upon the dep >-i of com to an equiva lent amount. This sum, repres uting,securities, lis fourteen millions, —all b -yond that must have a specie representative ol gold in the vaults. The Bank of England li s also the exclusive right to v-sue bank notes within 65 miles of London. Banks and bankers beyond that distance .may issue notes, m t less than five pounds sterling, payable in London, but may not re-issue them there under heavy penalties. Great relief in the money market appears to be anticipated from the permission t fill all the avenues of circulation with small notes. This is expected to operate in two ways—by absorbing the gold now employed in currency, but principally by relieving the public alarms, and restoring confidence to the mercantile community. Such an effect was product cl m 1847. ihe permission to issue these notes served to alia the panic, and it vv<c- not neect led to use it Bu t here are some wide cuff -renn s between the two cases, which make it unsafe to expect the same effect as certain now. Ordinarily, the Bank of England regulates the currency by raising the rate of discount, whenever it is neces-ary to contract its issues. They do not throw out bills offered bv raising the price, until the offerings fall off. The usual rate for many yea s was fiv percent.; and no bill was renewable It shows an extraordinary demand for mone j at extravagant rates —which could not be checked by double the ordinary price of money. V\ e are not too confident that this can be lelieved at once by the extraordinary and exceptional measures of the bank. We have no confident opinions to hazard. A couple of weeks will tell the talc for themselves. Stalais of Washington. The large box containing the equestrian statue of Washington, lately landed at Rich mond Va.,which was one of the best works ol the lamented Crawford, and which landed in t his country from Europe simultaneously with the news of his death, was drawn on Tuesday of last week from the wharf up to its site, by more than a thousand persons. r l he Enquirer gives a glowing description of the scene, which it pronounces grand and delightful. W hen the box reached t lie square where it is to be erected the crowd tm-e down the fences and curb stones, thronged into the enclosure, and de manded speeches from somebody. The Mayor spoke briefly, and then. Governor Wise being uproarously called tor, and lilted upon the shoulders of the people upon the box contain ing the statue, made one of his thrilling speeches, while the stars and stripes were held over him. The statue is to be inaugurated with great, eclat on the 2d of February next, lion. R. T M. Hunter ha> been invited to deliver the inaugural oration, with Hon. Win. C. liives as his alternate, and Mr. James Barron Hope, or Mr. John R. Thompson, will recite a poem upon the occasion. —Daily Hun.

It is gratifying to the friends of military re form in Georgia to see at least an iniatiative step taken toward the accomplishment of this object. A bill has been introduced to the leg islature to abolish our present ridiculous mali t a system and encourage and foster the organi zation of volunteer companies. This subject has been urged again and again bv our executives upon the consideration of our legislatures and it is strange that a change so universally demanded by our people has not been accomplished before this. Let but the recommendation of Governor Johnson be car ried out by legal enactment, and in two years wt will have an efficient well governed volun teer corps in every county in the State, that will do credit to the Empire State of the South and furnish an efficient protection and defense against external foes or internal dissensions. The exercise of discipline and drill in our volunteer service is a labor in which our youths delight, and they need but the encouragement recommended in the executive message to prompt them to the work. The State encamp ment held at Milledgeville last summer under tne invitation of our Governor, has done more to stimulate and encourage a particular milita ry spirit in our State, than all the militia drills, held for the last ten year--. But it is needless to enlarge upon the subject we cannot put the subject in any stronger light than has been done by Governor Johnson Let Georgia but take the iniatiative in this matter and her sister Southern States seeing the benefit of the system, will doubtless speedi ly follow her example. We are gratified to see that Governor Winstead recomends the same policy to the favorable consideration of the Alabama Legislature. Surely our legislature will perfect and pass the bill which has been introduced on this sub ject, and give to the people the reform in our military system they universally demand. [Times 4’ Senlinal. The Insult to the Presi dent.— The Wash ington correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser gives the following account of the disturbance at the White House, on Monday last: The disturbance which occurcd in the Presi dent’s office yesterday has not led to any serious breach of the peace, nor has it broken up the daily business receptions. The facts are these as I have heard .them, in regard to this occurrence. Mr. Sherman, a lawyer oi good repute here, called upon the President during the business hours yesterday morning, and presented a file of papers, referring, it is said, to some balance of a payment claimed by the heirs of Reeside, under an act of the last ses | read them, and oraer the money to be paid —• ! The President replied that he had not time at that moment. “Then refer them,” said Mr. S. ‘to your law officer.’ “But,” said the President, “I must first see whether they are proper to be referred.” Sherman demanded that the money be paid, threatening a mandamus and what not, and in fine spoke in an angry and excited manner, so much so that the President ordered him to leave the room. Sherman refused to go and said the President, “Then, I will go,” and, suiting the action to the word, he went into the adjoining room of the Private Secretary. The Attorney General at the same moment came in and attempted to appease Sherman, but with so little success that the latter warned him against interference. A police officer was sent for, but before he came the indignant attorney had retired, threatening to renew his visit this morning; but the President has not I ordered the access to the place to bebarricaed. | The moral of the story is, that the day is at hand when the President must relieve himself from the duty of receiving all manner of com plaints, and attending to all sorts of exactions. Blowing from a Gun in India. —A medical officer of this Presidency, says the Bombay Gazct- c conspicuous for his bravery and gal lantry during some of the late disturbance, gives a description of an “execution parade,” which is terribly graphic. Tins first parade was a horrible sight, but the blowing away from guns is most appalling. After tiie explosion, of the men’s remains in front of each gun was various and frightful.— One mau’s head was perched upon his back, and he was staring round as if looking for his logs and aims All you see at the time is a cloud like a du-t storm, composed of shreds of clothing, burning muscles and Irizzng fat, with lumps eogu'ated blood. Here and there a stomach or a liver comes falling down in a stink ing shower. One wretched folio tv slipped from the rope by which lie was tied to the gun, just before the explosion, and his arm was nearly set ou tire. While hanging in this agony un- dor the gun, a sergeant applied a pistol to his head, and three times the cap snapped, the man each time winking from expected shot.- At last a rifle was fired into the back of his head, and the blood poured out from the nose and mouth like wafer from a briskly handled pump. This was the most horrible sight of all I have seen death in all its forms— never any thing to equal fhis man’s end. A Relmkc, The General Connnittee'of New York have rebuk and Mayor Wood by the pas sage of the following resolution : Resolved, ! hut we disavow, in the name of the Democratic party, all doctrines, no matter whether they are promulgated by those upon whom we may have hcreterfore bestowed onr confidence, or who may now seek our suffrages, calculated to sow dissensions among the rich and the poor, the prosperous and the unfortu nate ; that we unqualifiedly condemn, as hos tile to the principles of the Democratic faith, all efforts, by whomsoever made, to advance the interests of candidates for office, by array ing any one portion of onr population against another, either for difference of birth-place, religion, fortune, or worldly condition; and that we solicit all our fellow-citizens to co operate with eacli other in a spirit of brother hood, humanity and patriotism, to aid and sus tain all who may need assistance in this period of calamity and want, until it shall please an all wise Providence to restore our former condition of thrift, plenty and prosperity, ISO. oo
