■_ 1h E aA2 E 5 MM Letter from Philadelphia. I>. jgß PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24. There is a rage here now for new hotels. iV fho property at the corner of Ninth and jo Ihestuut streets, which for se long a period ti. (iMi been reposing in a miserable condition, ,F, il is stated, to be improved by the erection , Cr of new and magnificent hotel. Ihe build ing will have three fronts, one upon Chestnut of 171 feet, one upon Ninth street of p. 235 feet, and one upon George street of about 210 feet.' It will be of proportionate height, thajrst floor on Chestnut street, being occp pied by seven storos, having double cellars, and suitable for any kind of business. There were 250 deaths reported in our city daring tho past weak. Of these 30 wera ' from consumption and inflammation of the lungs, 20 from scarlet fever, and 0 from mea r ifwf Adults 91. i, On the afternoon of the 20th a fire broke out in tho wagon grease and oil factory of 1 ' R.S. Hubbard & Co., on Wood street wharf, j. Schuvlkill, in consequence of the head of the steam boiler blowing out. The building was a two story stone one, 40 by 80 feet, which, with its contents, was entirely destroyed.— The loss is estimated by the owner at from , s4oo' to 5000, on which there is an insurance orj4ooo. A policy of S2OOO expired a few days since. A colored man, employed in the establishment, was severely burnt about the | head by the boiling fat and the escape of ettani A fireman also received an ugly gash upon his head by the falling of a brick; but fortunately, none of the injured individuals are considered dangerously hurt. A counterfeit ten dollar note n the Ilar risburg Bank is in circulation in our city. It baa-portraits of Washington and Rittenhouse in th - centre —canal boat on one end, and a male and female on the other—with a train of cars at the bottom uf the note. The genuine has the State Capitol in the centre, with the Cod less of Liberty in the foreground, seated. The attempts at suicide in our station hou seslhave been strangely frequent during the present winter. There has grown to be a constant necessity for watchfulness when prisoners are locked up. Among others yes terday afternoon a woman named Ann White, was arrested and confined in the Station lluu Towards evening, when one of the pli officers went into her cell, he discover ed her hanging from the eeiling in an almost dying condition. Sho was cut down before life was extinct, and saved fruui the hands of the coronor. There seems to bo a disease in the pork that renders much of that article unfit to be eaten It is stated that a number of families, residing in different sections of the city, after j partaking of pork fur their dinner, were taken Suddenly sick. Has the "hog cholera" any thing to do with this? Proceedings of Congress. The Congressional Committee appointed to ; inxe uigato rome alleged caees of bribery and Corruption, made their report last week.— Jilt-re arc but two topics of legislation con cerning which anything like corruption is made nut. One is the sale <>f a book on the fßtisbm nod Bounty Land laws, and the oth er is a bill appropriating lands for the Des Unities Navigation and Railroad Company. It regard to the former, Mr. J. 11. Sweeney testifies that Hon. W. A. Gilbert, of New York. entered into a contract, in his presence, with Cant. Triplett. the author and proprietor of the book, by which the sum of $14,500 was to be paid to him a a condition of sccu ring the passage of the bill making the pur -oh;w. His testimony is sustained hv that of Ca,.t. Tripl ett himself, and also bv the pro duction of a written order draw n by Triplett upi >n the Clerk of the House for the said sum uf $l 1.500 to be paid to Sweeney out of the appropriation, whenever it ehnuld be made. Mr. Sweeney al>o testifies that Gilbert told I Jiim be bad received ".-even square miles of j land and some stock" for his efforts in aid of) the passage of the lowa Railroad bill. " Vv Mr. <il!>ert denies all these allegations, but | fail-, so far as appears, to explain the singu- j l*r coincidences which seem to sustain the ! •evidence given. It is reported that he has j ~. -fefcdeavored to impeach the veracity of the) f witness; but no hing of this appears in the albs tract of testimony, which is thus far all tint is given. Hon. Mr. Welch, of Connec ticut. i- also charged by the sarno witness with having told him that Jifly dollars would b.- required t>> pass a pen-ion ciaim of a wid ow Kimball through the Committee of which he ws a member. This, also, is denied by j • Mr. Welch. „j| In regard to the other matter, Hon. Rever <(y Johnson testifies that Ilon.O. B. Mattcson .jfcihl him that SIOO,OOO would be required to j Sa*s the bill giving certain lands to the Des Company, as tin-re were twenty or th irty m ntltcrs <J the House who bad (J 'freed j to vote for any such bilis unless they were fund for if. A private letter was also iutro aimed Ir ui Mr. M. to the President of the Company proposing payments in addition to the. •e already promised, as the only way in i Which the bill cuuid be carried through. Mr. I Matteson also denies the charges thus made ! against him. Hon. Mr. Paine made in Com ; Biittee the same stai.-nient which he made in j the House—that Mr. Edwards of New York, j told him he was interested in the passage of j ft bill making grants to a Western Railroad, j and offering him $1,500 if (be would vote for .it. lion. Mr. V nlk testifies to conversations in which Mr. Edwards acknowledged he had j ft pecuniary interest in the passage of certain bills. Mr. Edwards also denies the iniputa tious of corrupt conduct thus made against j him. #* It will be seen from these statements that the Committee went just far enough in their examinations, to show that there were good grounds for believing that corrupt practices bad been resorted to in each of these cases; end there they stopped. Probably the short time within which they were required to close their labors afiords a sufficient explanation of their incompleteness. i The Committee recommend the expulsion of the four members implicated by their tes timony—Gilbert, Welch, Edwards and Mat | teson, and also the exclusion of Mr. Simonton, the New York Times correspondent, froua SK the floor of the House. mm | The Senate on Saturday passed the House " N <Lill to authorize the people of the Territory Of M innosota to form a constitution and State government, preparatory to their admissio® Into the Lnion on an equal footing with the original States, first, however, adding to it the very proper provision that nono but citi xeus of the United States should be entitled to vote in reference to the formation of a State constitution and the establishment of a State government. t£?L.The Governor of Nebraska has veteed :. the whols flock of bank charters so recklessly 4 granted by the Territorial Legislature during I the last few weeks. LATEST NEWS. NEW TREATY WITH MEXICO. WASHINGTON, Feb. CO. Private letters from Mexico have been re ceived here, which state Unit a highly impor tant treaty has been, or is about to be, con cluded between Mr. Forsyth, our Minister, and the Mexican Government, whereby a large share of Mexican territory, embracing tho whole of the Statu of Sonora, is to be ceded to the United States, for the sum of fifteen millions of dollars—three millions to go towards the payment of Mexican claims. Certain concessions in favor of American commerce are also embraced in this treaty. I>EATH OF DR. EI.ISUA KENT KANE. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23.—Tho steamship Cahawba arrived to-day from Havana, whence she sailed en the 20th inst., bringing the re mains of Dr. Elislia Kent Kane, the Arctic Explorer, who died in Havana on the 10th inst. The remains were received by the Conti nentals, and escorted to the City Hall, where they will lie iu State till to-morrow afterneon, at 4 o'clock, when they will be conveyed on board the steamer J. Woodruff, for Louisville, en route to Philadelphia. The city authorities, the military, civic so cieties, and citizens generally, will partici pate in doing honors to the remains. Tho highest honors were paid the remains by the officials of ilavuu* as they were con veyed to the Cahawba. NICARAGUA. The accounts from Nicaragua are to the effect that the steamer Texas, with recruits for Walker, had arrived at Punta Arenas, that the recruits having there joined the for ces under the command of Colonel Lockridge, the whole party went up the San -loan to a point nearly opposite Serapique, a fort occu pied by the Costa Riuans, that they attempt ed to go higher, but when abreast of Sera pique, they got a shot from the Costa itieans which compelled them to retire, and that thpy were then waiting for reinforcements from New Orleans, to make a grand attack on Ser apique. Letters received in New York and dated the same day the Tennessee sailed, give later intelligence than that contained in the report of the Purser of the Tennessee, or in the Panama papers brought by that steamer, and shows that the expected reinforcements from New Orleans had arrived, that Meapique had been attacked and the fiilibuster* had been repulsed with great loss. Pennsylvania Legislature. On the 18th, iu the Senate, the bill to incorporate the Centra! Bank of Pennsyl vania, at Ilollidaysburg, passed fina'lv. Iu the House, Mr. Ey-t r read in place a bill repealing the tonnage tax on the Pennsylvania Railroad.

This machine took the premium at York, 1 Huntingdon, (Jai lisle Charnbersburg, Harris j burg, Rcllcfoute, and other places too numerous ( to mention. Last summer wo had hundreds of ; testimonials and official reports, vouching the ' superiority of this machine over all others now iiu use. This machine excels all others in the ! following points, viz: Its easy convertibility i from a .Mower to u Reaper and vice versa, its | construction for adaptation to uneven surface ; i the ease wiih which it can be raised or lowered, for cutting from two inches to eighteen inches from the ground, which is done by means of a lever controlled by the driver while hi his seat; i its ea'e of draft, portability, and cleanness and i ease of cut. Many of these features are pat ! ented and cannot be embodied in any other nia ) chi. e, and all will admit how essential and in i dispensable they are to a complete combined I machine.

CATHARTIC PIIXS OPERATE by their powerful influence <>n_ the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu late it into healthy action. They remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular action to health, correct, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first causes of disease. An extensive trial of their virtues, by Professors, Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures of dan gerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not substantiated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Their certificates are published in my American Almanac, which the Agents below named are pleased to furnish free to all inquiring. Annexed we give Directions for their use in the complaints which they haTe been found to cure. FOR COSTIVHNSSS. — Take one or two Pills, or such quantity as to gently move the bowels. Cos tiveness is frequently the aggravating cause of PILES, and the cure of one complaint is the cure of both. No person can feel well while under a costive habit of body. Hence it shuuld be, as it can be, promptly relieved. FOR DYSPEPSIA., which is sometimes the cause of Costiceness, and always uncomfortable, take mild doses from one to four to stimulate the stomach and liver into healthy action. They will do it, and the heartburn, hodyburn, and soulburn of dyspepsia will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don't forget what cured you. '* For a FOUL STOMACH, or Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, which produces general depression of the spirits and bad health, take from four to eight Pills at first, and smaller doses afterwards, until activity and Strength is restored to the system. FOR NERVOUSNESS. SICK HEADACHE, NAUSEA, Puin in the Stomach. Bark, or Side , take from four to eight pills on going to bed. If thev do not oper ate sufficiently, take more the next day until they do. These complaints will be swept out from the system. Don't wear these and their kindred dis orders because-your stomach is foul. FOR SCROFULA, ERYSIPELAS, and all Diseases of the Skin, take the Pills freely and frequently, to keep the bowels open. The eruptions will geuer xlly soon begin to diminish and disappear Many dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by the purging and purifying effect of these Pills, anil tome disgusting diseases which seemed to saturate the whole system have completely yielded to their influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect heaith. Patients! your duty to society forbids that you should parade yourself around the world covered with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, and all or any of the unclean diseases of the skin, because your system wants cleansing. To PURIFY THE LJl.oon, they are the best medi cine ever discovered. They should be taken freely and frequently, and the impurities which sow the seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of the system like chaff before the Wind. By this property they do a* much good in preventing sickness as by the remarkable cures which they are making every where. - • LIVER COMPLAINT, JAUNDICE, and all Bilious Affections arise from some derangement either torpidity, congestion, or obstructions of the Livei. Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile' and render it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the health, and the constitution is frequently under mined by no other cause. Indigestion is the symp tom. Obstruction of the duct which empties the bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow into the blood. This produces Jaundice, with a long and dangerous train of evils. Costiveness, or alternately costiveiiess and diarrhma, prevails. Feverish symptoms, languor, low spirits, weariness, restlessness, and melancholy, with sometimes in ability to sleep, and sometimes great drowsiness; sometimes there is severe pain in the side; the skin and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow; the stomach acid'; the bowels sore to the touch; the whole system'irritable, with a tendency to fever, which may turn to bilious fever, bilious coiic, bilious diarrhoea, dysentery, Ac. A medium dose of three or four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three in the morning, and repeated a few days,-will remove the cause of all these troubles. It is wicked to suffer such pains when you can cure them for 2o cents. ■ " i • RHEUMATISM, GOUT, and all Inflammatory Fe vers arc rapidly cured ■ by- the- purifying effects of these Pills upon the blood and the stimulus which they afford to the vital principle of Life.
