nCTORY!
COMPLETE REBEL ROUTE!
GLORIOUS UNION TRIUMPH!
All New England and the West
give large Republican
Majorities!
Connecticut 250© Rcj. maj.
ILLINOIS 4 0,000!
INDIANA 10000!
OHIO OYER 35,000!
Pennsylvania 20.000!
North and South Carolina give
Large Republican maj's.
CALIFORNIA for Grant!
MENSEIMOS HIK 1\ IOWA!
West Yirginia increases her
majority for Grant!
The election returns as far as
received show an overwhelming
popular majority for GRANT and
COLFAX. There have been im
mense Union gains everywhere.
New York, New Jersey and Or
egon alone, of all the free States,
are doubtful, and even these may
go Republican. The rebels have
carried Maryland, Kentucky and
Louisiana, and perhaps Alabama.
THE RESULT.
The bright sunshine that ushered in the
election day was ominous of the glorious
victory that was to crown the Union cause
and give assured peace to our torn and
bleeding country. The people have render
ed their verdict and have shown themselves
true to the instincts ot' patriotism and the
principles of our Republican institutions, j
The advancing hosts of treason, rebellion j
and anarchy have once more been hurled,
back in overwhelming defeat and disgrace- j
ful rout. The result of Tuesday's election j
has sent a thrill of joy to every loyal heart j
and our people now rest in the contentment
of assured peace. He who saved our coun
try in the bloody field of battle and drove
her enemies into ignominious flight and
eventual surrender has now more complete
ly and overwhelmingly defeated them at the
ballot box. The people have repudiated
the repudiators and made a nullity of the
nullifiers; they have declared in favor of
political integrity and endorsed financial
honesty. The sharpers of Wall street and
the political tricksters of Tammany have
had the seal of the people's condemnation
stamped upon them and their policy in in
delible colors and unmistakable characters.
The peace of the country is now assured and
her financial credit firmly established.
Peace will be restored to the South aud
safety to her citizens and the whole country
will speedily enter upon a career of pros
perity heretofore unknown. The tidings of
our great victory, declaring the stability of
our free institutions, will bring joy to the
hearts of all the lovers of constitutional lib
erty throughout the world and give new
hope and strength to the struggling liberals
ol Europe. The strength and stability of
Republican institutions are to day more
firmly established than ever before.
BEDFORD COUNTY.
The Republicans of Bedford County were
wide awake on Tuesday. Seventeen dis
tricts heard from give a Union gain of
13-. Bedford borough gives a Republican
gam of 13, Bedford township 17, Broad
Top township and Coaldale borough 26,
Bloody Run borough 6, Saxton borough 1,
liberty township 1, Harrison, 9, Colerain
14, St. Clair 14, Juniata 9, Snake Spring 6
South Wood berry 15, Middle Woodberry,
5, Napier township gives a Copperhead
gain of, 5, Schellsburg borough, 2, and
Y1 ooberry borough 1. These are the ma
jorities as reported from all the townships
heard from as we go to press. The offi
cii returns will doubtless make some
changes hat not enough to make any mate
rial change in the above figures.
TOADAIs* EXTRAORDINARY.
Our Minister to England. Reverdy John
on. is making an exhibition of diplomatic
toadyism, in his such men
as Roebuck and Laird, that is calculated to
greatly damage the American character in
the eyes of European men of sense, and
bring the blush of shame to the cheek of
. 6Tery tnie V*™*- Reading tho record of
bis hob-nobbing with the men who did all
in their power to destroy our government
one is almost tempted to believe that
the old man, in his dotage, has for
gotten his mission and imagines him
self the minister of the Isie Sou
thern confederacy rather of the
United States. We are sorry for Reverdy
Johnson. It is sad to see an old man, who
has preserved a tolerably fair record, in his
old age when he ought to command honor
and respect, toadying to a set of puree-proud
aristocrats, disgracing himself and dishonor
ing his country. It is a poor consolation to
hear the poor man in his senility say that he
bears the censures of his country with chris
tian resignation. The most commendable
resignation that he can show will be the
resignation of the office he has so shameful
ly disgraced. YVhy he should choose to
cultivate the acquaintance of such men as
Roebuck and Laird rather than Bright and
Hughes we cannot comprehend, unless it be
that he still has a lurking sympathy for
slavery and rebellion and & natural affinity
for snobs. It is high time that we send, as
ministers abroad, men who have some res
pect for themselves, who are not insensible
to the promptings of patriotism nor igno
rant of the spirit of our Republican institu
tions; who have learned that all forms of
aristocracy are hostile to the spirit of out
institutions, that with such we command
respect not by grovelling and disgusting
flunkyism. but because we have shown our
ability and determination to exact our rights
among the nations of the earth. Until we
do scud such men we may expect these dis
gusting exhibitions of sycophancy and toad
yism to be indefinitely repeated.
! THE ELOQUENCE of the CAMPAIGN.
The Round Table , which has been a
supporter of the Democratic candidates,
says that "it is a notorious, and now proves
a significant fact, that the great bulk of
eloquent speaking and clever writing in
this canvass have been done for the Repub
lican side. With exceptions that may be
counted on the fingers, the Democrats have
reallv had neither spokesmen nor journal
ists whose abilities are worth a straw to
their party."
Why? Simply because the Republican
party has had glorious principles to speak
and write about, while the Democrats have
been forced, by their platform, to argue in
favor of Prejudice, Dishonesty and Revolu
tion. Demosthenes himself could not have
waxed eloquent in defense of such themes;
little wonder then that Seymour and Blair
and Vallandigham cl <xl. should have made
such failures as they have. The only elo
quent Democratic speaking was done at the
South, by Wade Hampton and others of
that ilk. John Quincy Adams made an elo
quent speech in South Carolina, but the
people there thought it a Republican speech
And it was pretty much; for Massachusetts
Democracy is remarkably like Republican
ism anywhere else. The only eloquent
speech Seymour has made, was that one he
made at Cooper Institute before bis nomi
nation, in which he showed so plainly the
madness and folly of the Pendleton theory,
and the utter ruiD it would bring upon the
working people. He was eloquent then,
for he believed what he said. We will not
insult his intelligence by supposing he be
lieved the arguments he used in his Western
tour. It is only when men are defending
what they believe to he true, that they rise
to eloquence. Hence the marked superiority
in this regard of the Republican speakers
and writers of this campaign over their op
ponents—so marked that a Democratic
journal of the highest character, is con
strained to confess it.— Pittsburgh Dispatch.
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
by Governor Geary.
Unto God, our Creator, we are indebted
for life and all its blessings. It, therefore,
becomes us at all times to render unto Him
the homage of grateful hearts: and in the
performance of our sacred duties, to set
apart special periods to "enter into His
gates with thanksgiving and into His courts
with praise." For this purpose, and in ac
cordance with an established custom, I have
designated THURSDAY. TSW-26TH DAT OF
NOVEMBER NEXT; and I recommend that
the people of this Commonwealth on that
•lay refrain from their usual avocations and
pursuits, and assemble at their chosen places
of worehin. to "praise tho name of God and
magnify Him with thanksgiving;" devoutly
to acknowledge their dependence, and lay
upon His altars the cheerful offerings of
grateful hearts
Let us thank Him with Christian humility
for health and prosperity; abundant har
vests; the protection of commerce, and ad
vancement of scientific, mechanical and
manufacturing interests; our progress in
education, morality, virtue and social order;
the increase of our material wealth; ex
emption from pestilence and contagious
diseases and the destructive influences of
war; for having blessed us as a people and a
nation, and opened before ns the brightest
prospects for the future; and for all other
blessings, both temporal and spiritual.
With sure reliance upon Divine favor let
us pray for the forgiveness of our sins,
making public confession of our dependence;
that we may continue worthy of His parent
al love and protecting care; that our civil
and religious liberties and political rights
may remain unimpaired; that we may re
member with gratitude our country's brave
defenders, and cherish with sympathy their
widows and orphan children; and that our
paths through life may be directed by the
example anu instructions of the Redeemer,
who died that we might enjoy ali the
blessings which temporarily flow therefrom,
and eternal life in the world to come.
Given under my Hand and the Great Seal
of the State, at Harrisburg, this twenty
eighth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight, and of the Commonwealth
the ninety-third.

BITTERS. —In the medical world, now-a
days, Bitters are all the rage. In one form
or another, under one name or another,
tbey and their staring advertisements are
everywhere to be found, professing to cure
all the ills flesh is heir to, from a bump on
the head to the small pox. Of tbeir efficacy
in general we know nothing, but there is
one variety concerning which we hear praise
from all. We refer to Hoofiand's German
Bitters. This is not a mere preparation of
some sort of liquor and bitter herbs and
barks, but a Medicine designed for Diseases
of the Stomach and Bowels, and of great
power and usefulness. We have not made
these assertions without consulting those
who know, and are competent to judge, and
they all fully endorse what we say.
The above remarks are copied from the
Editorial columns of the 'EAGLE. '
Poughkeepsit. X. Y. You will reen'Ject that
HOOF LANDS GERMAN BITTERS
is entirely fret from any alcoholic ingredients
Hoofiand's German Tonic is a eombiDa
nation of all the ingredients of the Bitters
k with pure Santa Cruz Rum, oraDge, anise,
kc. It is used for the same diseases as the
Bitters, in cases where some Alcoholic
Stimulant is necessary, and makes a prepara
tion delightfully pleasant and agreeable.

AN IMMENSE BLOCK OF GRANITE —-Last
week a remarkable and successful blast was
made at the Richmond (Virginia) Granite
Quarry, now owned by a company in Phila
delphia. One entire block of clear, beauti
ful granite, measuring one hundred feet
long, twenty-three feet thick and twenty
leet wide, was thrown out from the solid
mass of the quarry. This immense block
contains forty-six thousand cubic feet, eight
millions two hundred and eighty thousand
pounds, or three thousand six hundred
tons, _ It is probably the largest stone, in
one piece, ever quarried in ancient or mod
ern time*.
FIGHT COMING.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Timet
writes from Georgia as follows:
I suppose that the defiance which General
Cobb personally would hurl "into their
teeth,' would be of the kind lie hurled at
the forces of General Rosecrans in West
Virginia in 1861, when he made his grand
retreat, and defiantly bid them catch bim if
they could. But hi< speech bad its effect
upon the masses. The whole rebel element
seemed to have imbibed the fighting spirit,
and upon the cars, in the private circle, on
the street corners, everywhere, one hears
nothing but talk of the forcible overthrow
of the Southern State governments, and a
determination to fight or have everything
restored to the condition of 1860.
One ex rebel officer said to ine, in answer
to my inquiry as to how the Southern pco
pie would get arms, "When General Lee
surrendered he had 143,000 able men on his
muster rolls, and yet he only surrendered
8,000, so that we can safely say that the
Yankees did not get over 10,000 or 15,000
stand of arms. In addition to this, every
Southern man has been purchasing arms
since the close of the war. As to money,
we don't need any, we fought before without
it."
My conclusion is, after having traveled
over nearly every one of the late rebel States
and having talked with thousands of rebel
citizens ot every grade of character and po
sitioo, that the people of the North must
either elect General Grant, surrender the
State governments to the rebels and undo
the work of reconstruction or fight, and I
am more than half inclined to the belief that
the fight will come any way. These people
are out of power, they believe that the Nor
thern people as a mass have wronged them,
and they all feel unwilling to ever accept any
terms save compensation for their losses, in
eluding slaves, repudiation of the Northern
war debt, and the surrender of the control
of the Government to They mean
fight, and the people of the North and the
Governmet may just as well prepare to meet
the emergency.
NAPOLEON "IV" IIAS AN AFFRONT PUT
UPON HlM.—The New York Timet corres
pondent writes from Paris, August 14, as
follows:
Just as the "affair Uochefort" was taking
a happy turn for the worried and fatigued
policemen, anew incident, the "affair C'a
vaiguac," fell across their troubled _ path.
A son of Godfroy Cavaignac, the Dictator
of 1848, refused to accept from the hand of
the son of Napoleon 111 the premium
awarded to bim for standing at the bead of
his class at the College of St. Barbel Why
should be? Did not Napoleon 111 putin
prison and treat with rigor, almost with in
sult, the man who had saved Paris in June
from a second reign of terror? Why should
Cavaignac II acwpt anything from the hand
of Napoleon IV? When the boy's name
was called the audience broke into a loud
cheer, and you may imagine the consterna
tion of M. Durny, Minister of Public In
struction, and of the Prince Imperial; the
first calling for the little Cavaignac with a
nice speech of congratulation all ready, and
the other with the crown of laurels in his
extended hand, and the little Cavaignac II
clinging to his bench and refusing to accept
the offered crown 1 A new god arose at
once in the firmament of the Latin quarter,
and Henry Kochefort is threatened with an
eclipse. Cavaignac II has shown himself a
chip of the old block; he has placed himself
by that one act in the posit ion of chief of a
party, and hereafter when the day of revo
lution comes, the "Party Cavaiguac" mutt
be counted in with the contending factions.
"Your father smothered my father out in
1848; I can accept nothing front your
hands!" Who knows what an amount of
history may yet turn upon this first act of
opposition of the youthful inheritor of one
of the glorious names of the last revolution?
We may certainly predict that the boy will
be heard from.
VELOCIPEDES IS NEW YORK.—A New
Yorker was seen with a velocipede taking
exercise in Washington place on Tuesday
afternoon His performance attracted a
large crowd of interested spectators. The
Nicolson pavement was favorable to his
efforts, and his skill wa<> seeu to great ad
vantage. He rode a French Velocipede,
with a driving wheel of about three feet two
inches, and rode it like a master. His slow
movement was excellent, without unsteadi
ness or wabbling and when he let himself
nut he wen 4 with the speed of an arrow. In
Paris it is no uncommon thing to see such
a vehicle darting hither and thither along
the crowded street, but in New York it was
a novelty. And yet the velocipede is no
novelty. It was invented sixty years ago.
Its propelling power was then, as now, the
feet of the rider, except that be put them on
the ground and trotted along with his ma
chine. The present form was devised in
1830 by M. Dreuze. an employee of the
French Postoffice, who thought he had made
a great thing for letter carriers in the rura'
districts. The badness of the roads frus
trated his hopes, and his invention fell into
obscurity. It is now revived, with more
brilliant prospects than ever, and will
probably soon be fullv naturalized in every
part of the world. There is a great demand
for them in this country, which cannot yet
be supplied.
PETROLEUM IS EUROPE.—Recent advices
from abroad communicate the information
that springs of mineral oil have been dis
covered in the western province of Galicia,
and that extensive purpose of reaching the
subterranean reservoirs. The surface soil,
covering an area of 50,000 acres, it is assert
ed, is so thoroughly impregnated with
petroleum that it is only uecessary to dig a
few feet in order to obtain a handsome re
turn for the money expended. The develop
ment of this new branch of industry has
created a demand lor the services of Ameri
can engineers familiar with the methods of
sinking wells in the United States, and the
reports of the gentlemen from this country,
who have visited Galicia, are said to coincide
with the sanguine anticipations of the
owners of the oil fields.
The accounts of this region concur in as
erting that the small stream known as the
Dunagec, will, in a short time, be surround
ed with works as extensive as those now in
operation at Oil Creek, Pennsylvania.
Less enthusiastic observers, however, cite
numerous instances of discoveries abroad of
oil, which have by no mcaDs fulfilled the
prognostications of the operators. While
the United States possesses facilities for
raising two and a half millions of barrels of
oil ever year, and actually sends abroad 800,
000 barrels, or 32.000,000 gallons, there is
not much prospect that these new sources of
supply will interfere with her position as
the great petroleum market of the civilized
world.
SUFFRAGE for women is still being agita
ted in England, and great efforts are being
made to have it became an accomplished
fact. Not ODly have fifteen or twenty thou
saod women demanded to be registered as
voters, but appeals from them are inserted
in the English papers to vote for certain
candidates. Ladies of high rank, like Lady
Farley and Lady Aniberly, are among the
callers of political meeting, and, it is stated,
appear on the platform. At Manchester,
5,750 women claimed the right to vote, and
the revising barrister, whose office it is to
decide upon the qualifications of electors,
delivered a well considered opinion upon
the subject. His examination of the differ
ent acts of parliament goes back as far as
1439, when the statute passed in the eighth
year of Henry VI, Chapter seven, limited
the franchise in counties to "people" resi
ding and dwelling in the same counties, and
possessing freehold laod of the annual value
of forty shillings. Although the word peo
ple is used without reference to sex, no in
stance can be found in England of women
having claimed or exercised the right to
vote from 1430 to 1832.
THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON is now engag
ed in preparing a comparative map of Eu
rope, indicating the territorial mollifications
in the various States since 1815, with the
view to the proposal of a congress which
should consider the question of a general
disarmament. We opine that but little
credence is to be placed in the statement.
' Up to the present time?' says the Preiue,
"proposals to hold an international congress
have resulted in precipitating war. It is to
be feared that the same cause will produce
the same effect, and for want of an agree
ment, which seems to be impossible, an
armed conflict will ensue. It would indeed
be difficult to explain the real nature of the
Uatuffuo after a diplomatic failure of such
imptmanoe as this.
TIIK APPROACHING EARTHQUAKE. —The
New York Allan has some misgivings con
cerning the California earthquake. It thinks
it will oe the turn of New York, or tier
haps the whole Atlantic coast, next. The
clitor, as if with fear und trembling, asks:
"Have we not been warned of approaching
misfortune of the character to which we are
referring? Undoubtedly. Not longer than
two weeks ago two "smart" earthnuake
shocks were fell in Yirgininia, and the
chivalry became veritable quakes. If the
American seaboard ever catches a blow of
this kind.it will be an earnest one: and what
if sueh a blow really impends? What if the
vague hints and predictions of geologists
and other men of scienee as to marvelous
changes about, to take place on the globe
be true? What if the theologists, who
wrest from inspired prophecy the promise
of a speedy destruction of sublunary goods
and chattels, have aimed at one target and
hit another? What if chaos is really to come
again, and render all our plans and hopes
and fame and wealth, and our struggle for
aggrandizement nugatory and of no earihly
account? The idea is pregnant with sugges
live reflection. Let us take another week
to it."
TYPOGRAPHICAL. —The accomplished
foreman of our news room department ap
pears to have shaffled off the coil of single
blessedness and furnished us a local item OB
bis own accouut. It is an example worthy
of emulation, and we trust ibat all thn re
maining bachelors in the establishment will
"follow copy" without unnecessary delay.
The young couple in question have our best
wishes for perpetual happiness und prosper
ity. It is the wish ol bis fellow craftsmen
that the bridegroom may always enjoy a
"IHII case," a succession of "small caps,"
and never get "out. of sorts." and when,
having abandoned his true honored "rule,
rounded his final "period"—we behold his
manly "form" stretched in "solid column'
upon the cold "stone" of mortality—may
his friends have the satis factum ol knowing
that he escaped both "devil" and "hell
box," every "error" having been corrected
in the original "proof," and the compositor
fullv prepared for inspection at the grand
"revise."— Titusville Herald.
PRUSSIA AND FRANCE.— Prussia still
fears that a war with France is inevitable;
and is looking in every direction for allies.
Bismarck, it is reported, has been endeavor
ing to induce the Emperor of Russia to re
new the secret treaty of alliance with Prus
sia, signed at Breslau in 1860. Alexander,
however, while expressing his friendly in
tention. declined to bind himself by a treaty.
Prussia, meanwhile, is making every effort
to strengthen her military forces. The
number of the cavalry regiments is to be in
creased, and fourteen new batteries are to
be added to the horse artillery. General
Von Moltke, who has just returned from a
tour of inspection among the Rhine fortres
ses, is about to make a similar tour in North
Schleswig; and the South German Military
Conference, now in session, of which Gen
era! Beyer, late of the Prussian army, is a
member, is expected to arrange for the
more direct and efficacious control of Prus
sia over the troops of South Germany.
A WEDDING MISTAKE — A gentleman of
New Haven ordered a wedding suit—among
which was a white satin vest. On the bridal
evening, as the clergyman was leaving the
door, the gentleman took from a pocket of
his vest, and slipped gracefully into the
Parson's hand what be supposed was a $lO
note that he had put there for the purpose.
The honeymoon bad long passed, when the
bridegroom bad occasion to don again, for a
party, bis bridal vest—and putting hisfinger
into a pocket, pulled out, to his great horror,
the identical bank note which he supposed
had months before gladdened the heart of
the worthy curate. Great was the conster
atioa of the parties! "What could he have
given the parson on that occasion?" He
ascertained, the next day, that he had given
him a strip of satin, two or three incheslong.
which the tailor had left in the pocket of
the vest. Explanations, and a hearty laugh
followed.

TRENTON, October 31.—The house of Dr.
McKilby. in this city, was last night entered
by burglars, who, after ransacking the
premises, left, taking with them nineteen sl.-
000 first mortgage bonds of the Pacific Rail
road.
THE annual exhibit of the Postoffice De- I

A CHARLESTON paper says. "Some little
has been done during the present year to en
courage the small farming system in the state

A METEOR of extraordinary size and bril
liancy passed over Brandon, Wisconsin, on
the evening of the 13th instant. Its course
was from west-southwest to north-northeast,
at an altitude of about nearly a mile, explod
ing some three miles northeast ofthe place,
giving out, on explosion, variegated colors
such as white, red and purtile. not common
in meteoric exhibitions of this kind.
THE Cuban insurrection turns out no small
matter. The revolutionists appear to exist
in large numbers, and they have made their
recklessness sufficiently apparent in the de
struction of a town by fire, and in maintaining
one or two fights with the Captain General's
troops.
They are not suppressed yet, and it may
tax the authorities pretty severely to dispose
of such a formidable organization.
A CITIZEN of Woodstock, Vt., bought a farm
last year for less than thirteen hundred dollars,
and raised this year two thousand bushels of
potatoes—about sixteen hundred of which
were merchantable at fifty cents per bushel.
He also secured fifty tons of hay and wintered
seventy eight sheep, which also turned out
well. He sold one hundred and ten dollars'
worth of wool, besides what he reserved for
his own use, sold one hundred dollars' worth
of lambs, and kept fifteen for the fiotk.
MRS. LCCY OSGOOD died at Mexico, Me.,

being seventy-three in all. Each generation
had its representative at her funeral. She
had been, until within a few weeks preeeed
ing her death, able to move about the house.
Although nearly blind and quite deaf, she re

and was a great talker.
ST. LOVIB, October 30. —A Santa Fe, New
Mexico, dispatch says: An important Indian
expedition is now organized in this terri
tory, which will soon start from Fort Bas
comb, on the Canadian river, against the
Indians committing depredations in Kansas
and Colorado the past few months. The
command will consist of six companies of
the Third Cavalry, one or two .companies of
the Thirty-seventh Infantry, together with
between two or three hundred Utes and
Apaches. The Indians are all under the
command of Colonel Evans, of the Third
Cavalry.
On MONDAY the Government disbursed
twenty seven million dollars of gold interest
—the November interest on the Five-twenty
Bonds of 1862 and 1866. On the coming Ist
of January, it will disburse, as interest, thirty
million more. There is now a reserve of
about one hundred million* in the Treasury;
and even after these heavy disbursements, the
Government will be well supplied with coin.
The New York Times says that the specula
tors whose interest it is to keep gold up, are
trembling in view of the heavy outflow of the
next two months.
A WASHINGTON correspondent of the New
York Times reiterates hi* statement concern
ing Gen. Kosccrans' intention not to proceed
to Mexico. He says: That in conversation
with a friend in New York a few days since,
he admitted the certainty of Grant's election,
and added that with Grant's inauguration his
term of office as Minister to Mexico would
undoubtedly cease. He subsequently said
that it would bardly be worth while for bira
to go to Mexico and be recalled so soon, and
consequently he did not think he would go at
all.

S CATHARTIC PILLS,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OP A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
Perhaps no.one medicine ia ao universally re
quired tj everybody as a cathartic, nor was
ever any before so universally adopted into use,
in every country and among all classes, as this
mild but efficient pnrgative Pill. Tfce obvious
reason :s, that it is a more reliable and far more
effectual remedv than any other. Tboso whohtve
us?d it, know that it cured theui; those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it does al
ways—that it never fails through any fault or
negleoi cf i(a composition. We have thousands
upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable
cures of the following complaints, bat such cures
are known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them Adapted to all ages and con
ditions in all climates: containing neither calomel
n : any deleterious drug, they may be taken with
safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
theiu ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,
wbtie being purely vegetable no barm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action—remove the obstructions
of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organ? of
the body, restoring their irregular action to
health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
such derangements as are the tirst origin of dis
ease.
Minute directions are giveu in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure;
For fry*prp*ia or Indigestion, Li*tU**ne*9, Lan
yuor and Loe* of Appetite. they should betaken
moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore
its healthy tone and action.
For Liter Complaint and its various symptoms,
HH'ou* Headache, Sick Hcudochc, .Jaundice or
Green Sieknesa, Bilioue Colic and Bilioue Fereri,
they should be judiciously taken for each ase, to
correct the diseased action er remove the obstruc
tion? which cause it
For Dvnentery or /harrier, but one mild dose
is generally required.
For Bhtumatiem, (rout. Gravel, Palpitation oj
the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins, they
should be continuously taken, as required, to
change the diseased action of the system. With
such change these complaints disappear.
For Prop* ry and Dropeical Swelling 9 they should
be taken in large and frequent doses to produce
the efleet of a drastic purge.
For Snpp rent io wt a largo dose should betaken
as it produces the degirod effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on
the digestive apparatus. ,

The Chinese Government hating (through the
Hon. ANION Burlingame) conceded to thi* Compa
ny the privilege of connecting the great eeaporte
of the Empire by submarine electric telegraph ca
ble, tee propose commencing operations in China,
and laying dotcn a line of nine hundred miles at
once, between the following ports, cit :
Population.
Canton 1,000,000
Macoa 00,0v0
Hong-Kong 250,000
Swatow 200,000
Amoy 250,04)0
Foo-Chow 1,250,000
Wan-Chu 300,000
Ningpn AGO,OOO
Hang Chean 1.200,000
Shanghai 1,000,000
Total 5,910,000
These ports hare a foreign commerce of $900,-
000,000, and an enormous domestic trade, beside
which we bare the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means cf communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the commu
nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos
tal system, and her only means now of communi
cating information is by couriers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western World knows that China a
very large country, in the main densely peopled;
but a few yet realize that she contains more than
a third of (be human race. The latest returns
made to her central authorities for taxing purpo
ses by the local magistrates make her population
Four Hundred and Fourteen Millions, and this is
more likely to be under than over the actual ag
gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten
years old, not only can bat do read and write.
Her civilization is peculiar, but her literature is
as extorsive as that of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early information.
It is observed in California that the Chinese make
great use of the telegraph, though it there trans
mits messages in English alone. To day great
□ umbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese
merchants, and nsed by tbem exclusively for the
transmission of early intelligence. If the tele
graph we propose, connecting all their great sea
ports, were now in existence, it is believed that
its business would pay the cost within the first
two years of its sui cessful operation, and would
steadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
people. It is of a vast national importance com
mercially, politically, and evangelically.
The stock of this Company has been unquali
fiedly recommended to capitalists and business
men, as a desirable investment by editorial arti
cles in the New York Herald, Tribunr, World,
Times, Post, Express, Independent, and in the
Philadelphia Sorth American, Press, Ledger, In
quirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.
Shares of this Company, to a limited number,
may be obtained at S6O each, $lO payable down,

Y £ 8' S HAIR VIGOR,
FOR TBI
RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
THE GREAT DESIDERATUM of the AGE!
A dressing which is it once agreeable, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded or
gray hair is soon restored to its original color and
the yloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of
ten. though not always, cured ny its use. Noth
ing can restore tbe hair where the fallacies are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of fouling the hair
with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and
vigorous, -its occasional nse will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and consequently
prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious
substances which make some preparations dan
gerous and injurious to tbe bair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not barm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found o desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil whito
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful peri's—a.
