The boat is a total loss. Cotton insgred. The
passengers who lost their lives were mostly from
the South, especially from Alabama,
_and ware
boomPfor Texas in the Pampero. The oters and
t
crew were saved. The list containing e names

blato ascertain the names of the killed. Some

Hsevy Roanzax.—Mr. John Peters, residing at
Gricnsborough, Gilbert county, N. C., whilht in
toxicated, on Saturday afternoon, was induced to
enter the groggery, of John Lance, corner of Cen
tre and Anthony streets, New York, where he had
been bnt a short time, when a row was got up by
some parties who were in the place. Officer Mar
tin, of the lower police court, happened to be pas
sing at the time, and hearing the -disturbance,
en
deavored to get into the groggery, but found the
door locked. It was, however, opened soon after
wards, and on his entering, Lane requested him to
arrest Peters, who, he said, find created a difficul
ty. Peters then said that he hod about $lOO,OOO
worth of notes, money and stock in his pockets
when he entered the place, and that all. of it, to
gether with his watch, had been stolen. Lane was
then arrested, and while the officer was taking him
to the police court, he was seen to put sobiething
into the outside pocket of Peters' coat. This pro
ved to be the watch which the latter had lost.—
Lane was conveyed before Justice Osborn,and there
searched, and in a pocket artfully concealed were
found notes and checks to the amount of $50,000,
and certificates of stock thelvatue of $50,000 more.
Several hundred dollars in bank bills, which Peters
had with him, have not been found. He is an of
ficer in a gold-mining company iu Ninth Carolina.
Lane was committed to prison to' answer the
charge. •
WASHINGTON, Jail. 30.
,HIGHLY IMPORTANT DECISION.—The great tele
graph case between Morse and O'Reilly, was deci
ded in the Supreme Court to-day. The decision was
'delivered by Chief 'Justice Taney, and was very
elaborate, discussing in detail all the points in the .
case and the principles of patent law. The Court
held that Morse was the first inventor of what be
lawitilly patented, and that 0 Reilly's Columbian
instrument was an infringement; but also, that
as Morse in his eighth claim patented more than he
had invented or discovered, therefore the patent is
invalid.
. .
This decisiOn makes valid the House, Bain and
other patents; and the pretence by Professor Morse
that he had patented and secured to himsell the art
,of telegraphing, falls to the ground. He is con
fined to the mode described in his patent, and must
hereafter disavow his eighth claim to preserve
even his patent.
The decision establishes a great principle in pat
ent law, hi'hly iniportant to the public interests,
and an irreediate result will be a very rapid for
ward movement in all telegraph enterprises which
are thus released from the bonds of monopoly.
Isms Ass or TIM ARMT.-A bill is now before
the United States Senate, from Gen. Shields, of Ill
inois, which looks to a considerable change in our
Army, and in some degree affects the Nary. It
contemplates:
let. The establishment of three new regiments,
one cavalry'and two infantry—in all, say 2,000
2d. The increase of some of the companies from
48 to 34 privates—in all say 300 'men.
3d. The increase of the pay of.soldiers Irom $7
to $lO a month; $2 a month to be added for re-en
listment after five yeari'..honorable service.
4th. The establishment of a retired list of offi
cers, with full pay and service rations.
Our army has dwindle&down to 10,000 men, un
der the low pay to soldiers. Many who do•enlist,
soon desert. Our military establishment has not
kept pace with our unparalleled increase of terri.
tory and population. The two regiments of infan
try; one of dragoons, and the company of sappers
and miners, will' add some 1,200 to the Army,
which, in addition to the' number allowed by.ex
'sting laws, will make us an efficient army.
Toe new bill will increase the pay of the army
about thirty pir cent.; but the greatest increase is
where it is most needed. The private soldier's pay
is raised from 37 to .71.0 per month for the first en
listment; $l2 for the second enlistment; and $1 ad.
ditional for every subsequent enlistment, and when
the soldier is employed as laborer or mechanic he
is to have from twenty-five to fifty, cents per day
extra.

1.4. hunter's Medical Manual and hand book for
the afflicted. Containing an outline of the origin,
progress-, treatment and cure of every form of dis
ease contracted bypTomiscuous sexual intercourse,
by self-abuse or by sexual excess with advice for
their prevention, written in a familiar style avoid
ing all medical technicalities, and everything thrat
would offend'the ear of decency; with an outline of
complaints incident to Females, from the'result of
some twenty years' successful' practice, exclusively
devoted to the cure of diseases of a delicate or pri
vate nature.
To which is added receipts for the cure of the
aboie diseases, and a treatise on the cause, symp
toms and cure of the fever and ague. -
Testimony of the Professor of Obstetrics in Penn
College, Philadelphia.—Dr. Hunter's Medical Man
ual.—The author of this work, unlike the majority
of those who advertise to cure the disease of which
it treats is a graduate of one of the best Colleges
in the United Stetes. It affords me pleasure to re
commend him to the unfortunate, or to the victim
of malpractice, as a successful and experienced
practitioner, in whose honor and integrity they may
place the greatest confidence.
Jos. S. LONGELIORE, M. D.
From A. Woodward, M. D., of Penn. Universi
ty, Philadelphia.—lt gives me pleasure to add my
testimony to the professional ability of the Author
of the "Medical Manual." Numerous cases of dis
ease .of the,Gental Organs, some of them of long
standing, have came under my notice, in which
his skill has been manifest in restating to perfect
health, in cases where the patient has been consid
ered beyond medical aid. In the treatment of Sem
inal weakness, or disarrangement of the functions
produced by self-abuse, or excess of venery, 1 do
not know his Superior in the profession. I have
been acquainted with the Author some thirty'years,
and deem it no more than justice to him as well as
kindness to the unfortunate victim of early indis
cretion, to recommend him 'as one in.whose pro
fessional skill and integrity they may safely confide
themselves. ALFRED WOODWARD, M. D.
This is without exception, the most compre
hensive and intelligent work published on the class
of diseases of whfffh it treats. Avoiding all tech
nical terms, it addresses itself to the reason of its
readers. It is free from 'all objectionable matter,
' and no parent, however fastidious, can-object to
placing it into the hands of his sons. The author
has devoted many years to the treatment of the
various complaints treated of, and, with too little
breath to puff, and too little presumption to im
pose, he has offered t o _the world, at the merely
nominal price of 25 cents, the fruit -of some twenty
years' most successful practice."—Herold.
"No teacher or parent should be without the
knowledge imparted in this invaluable work. It
would save years of pain, mortification and sorrow
to the youth under their charge.”--Peoples Advo
cate.
A - Presbyterian ,elergyman in Ohio, writing of
, •Hunter's Medical Manual') says:—" Thousands
upon thousands of our youth, by evil example and
influence of the passions, have been led into the
habit of self-pollution, without realizing the sin
and fearful consequences upon, themselves and
their posterity. The constitution of thousands who
are raising families have been enfeebled, if not brat, '
ken down, and they-do not kcow the cause or the
cure. Anything that can be done' so to enlighten
and influence the public mind as to checit, and
timately to remove this wide-spread source of hu
man wretchedness, would confer the greatest bias
sing next to the religion of Jesus Christ, on the
present and coming generations. Intemperance (or
the use of intoxicating drinks) though it has slain
thousands, is not a greater scourge to the human
race. Accept my thanks on behalf of the afilieted,
and, believe me, your co-worker in the good work
you. are so actively engaged'in."

Tjenry's Invigorative Cordial.
AA. Purely Vegetable in its Composition. This
invaluable Cordial, is extracted from Herbs and
Routs, which have been found after years of expe
rience, by the most skillful physicians, to: be pos
sessed of qualities most beneficial in the diseases
for which it is recommended; and hence Whilst it
is presented to the public, as an efficacious reme
dy, it, is also known to be of that character on
which reliance may placed as to its safety, I case
Impotency, Hoeinorrhages, Disordered Sterility,
Menstruation, or Suppression of the Menses, Fluor
Albus or Whites, or for Drzu.rrir arising from any
cause, such as weakness from sickness, where the
patient has been conSed to bed for some time,
for females after confinement, Abortion oil Miscar
riage, this Cordial cannot be excelled in.its salu
tary effects; or in loss of Muscular Energy, Irrita
bility, Physical Prostration, Seminal Weakness,
Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion, Sluggishness,-
Decoy of the Procreative, Nervousness, 4m., where
a tonic Medicine is required, it will be foifild equal
if not superior to any compound ever used.
fo FUNALES.—Henry's Invigorating Cordial, is
one of the most invaluable Medicines in the many
complaints to which 'females are subject. It as- ,
sists nature to brace the whole system, check ex
cesses, and creates renewed health and happiness.
,Less suffering, disease and unhappiness among La
dies would exist n were they generally to -
the use of this- Cordial. Ladies who are; debilita
ted by those obstructions which females are liable
to, are restored by the use of a bottle or two, to
bloom and to vigor.
YOUNG MEN;—That solitary practice, so fatal to
the existence of man; and it 15 the young ! who are
most apt to become its victims, from.an ignorance
of the danger to which tney subject themselves,
causing Nanvous DEBILITY, Weakness of the sys
tem and Premature Decay. Many of you may now
be suffering, misled as to the cause or source of
disease. To those, then, who by excess have brot'
on themselves Premature Impotency, Invo l untary
Seminal Emissions, Weakness and Shrivelling of
the Genital Organs, Nervous Affection, or any oth
er consequences of unrestrained indulgence of the
sensual Tassions, occasioning, the necessity of re
