Philadelphia were put in circulation within a
few days. which are said to be suinciently well
executed as to deceive those not well acquaint

tonne paper notes purchases of 20,000 or 25.-
.000 hogs, by dealers, at $5 gross, equal to
about $6 85 from the hoofs. On Green river,
in Kentucky, extensive preparations are made
for slaughtering. At Bowling Green alone it

of the most active nub infittential members of
the party.have ektnessacS themselves in favor
of the nomination cf gon..J6EL B. DANNER,
of Adams county, for Auditor General'. by the
nest Democratic . State Convention. Such a
nomination would be regarded, wherever NI%
Danner is known. as one eminently fit-to he
wade--and it would be one, certainly, which
we could cordially support. Mr. Danner, a
few years ago, represented faithfully and ac
ceptably the district then composed of York
land Adams counties in the Congress of the
United States. and has held many other trusts
by the choice of. his fellow, citizens: - in all of
which he acquitted himself to"his own honor
and to the public advantage. In his own coun
ty he enjoys a rare personal popularity—and
Ito- one man, we-learn, did more than he to
produce the late gratifying and glorious result
in that county, where the Know-Nothings did
not save a single one of their candidates from
the general wreck of their party. Mr. ban
ner's nomination would be responded to,' in'
this section of the State, with hearty good will
his county, which he has often carried
- for himself when there Was a heavy political
majority against him, would doubtless contrib
ute handsomely
which surely
the columns of Dein
ocratic triumph surely awaits us in 1.856.
York county, also, in which Mr. Danner has
many- warm personal anti political friends,
would rally trumpet-tongued, to the rescue.
Giie us DANNER, gentlemen of the Conven
tion, and we will render a good account of him
at the pits.
From the Phila. Pennsylvanian
Auditor General.
Hon. Joxr.B. DANNISR. of Adams county, is
favorably mentioned in a number of the Demo
cratic papers in the State, in connection with
tin? nomination for Auditor General by the nett
Fourth of March Convention. Mr. D. is a gen- ,
Oman of sterling qualities, and if nominated
(his election would of course follow) he would
be found attentive to duty, prompt, and effi
cient in its discharge, and always obliging.--
Adams county, too, deserves some considera
tion at the hands of the Democracy of her sis
ter counties. for having, during the storm of
bigotry and intolerance in 1854, assumed a
Democratic position, and in 1855 ''done better."

THE SOUND DUE:S.-A letter from Hamburg,
dated . Nov. 3, states that there is some reason
to believe that Russia has offered to mediate
between Denmark and the United States, and
proposed, us an adjustment of the difficulties,
that Denmark shall cede her Island of St.
Thomas to the United States for the sum of five
millions of dollars, and the total - exemption of
American ships and cargo from the future pay
ment of the Sound Dues. Although the colony
is of no value to Denmark in a pecuniary point
of view, rather causing an expense than bring
ing in a surplus, yet Denmark is said to have
declined the proposal, out of consideration to
the Western Powers, to whom such nu acqui
sition of territory on the part of the Americans,
so close to their own West India 'possessions,
cannot be degirable.

The Democratic-Triumphs in Louisiana
and Mississippi. .
The disappointment once so' aide felt in
consequence of the partial success of eKnow
Nothings - at the late election in Maryland is
now completely forgotten, says the Washine(
fo n Unirm; in the contemplation'oLthe unpre
cedented. Democratic triumphs in Louisiana
and Mississippi. If. in the contest against The
allied forces of Know Nothingism. one Southern
State has fallen, and another has faltered in
the path of duty, we know, and can repose in
confidence upon that knowledge, that Virginia,_
Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida, Georgia. Alabama, Texas, Arkansas,
and now Mississippi and Louisiana, have
nobly and triumphantly vincljosted - the - trust
reposed in thnpurity, integrity,-and nationali•
ty of their• political principles.
For days, and even weeks, have the tele
graphic reporters of the press been busily en
gaged in circulating the most absurd and con
tradictory reports in regard to the issue of the
late elections in Louisiana and Mississippi.—
But. the truth can no longer be concealed.
The Democracy of these two States have
achieved a victory which. for its decisive char
acter and important results, is without a paral
lel in their history as a political organization.
according to the tables published in the Louisi
ana Courier of the 17th ult., the Democratic
candidate for Governor, WICKLIFFK, has a ma
jority of 2,9oB—with one parish to hear from.
To this majority should be added the Demo
cratic ballots destroyed in one of the wards of
'ew Orleans. The Picayune, notwithstand
ing its, decided Know Nothing proclivities,
publishes returns which are even more )favora
ble of Wicx.t.tm..
PREPATMKNT OF -POSTAGE: TO 131: MADE DY
STAMPS CYNLY.—It 'will be recollected• that by
the act of-trch 3,1835, req►tiring the postage
on all letters\ not free sent by mail within the
United States, and not from or to a foreigt
country, to be prepaid, it was also enacted
that from and after January, 1, 185.6, "the
Posttnaster General may require postmasters
to place postage stamps upon alt prrpaidl otters
upon which such statnps may not have been
placed by the writer." In view of this fact the
Union says :
Fre learn that the Pothaaster General has de
cided to require postmasters lo comply u•ilh, and
carry into Ted this provision ty . the law; and.
if not already done, to supply themselves with
postage stamps accordingly by sending their
order for them to*the Third Assistant Post
master General.. Of esiiirse it is not intended
nor expected that this regulation shall throw
upon postmasters the labor of affixing, postage
stamps to letters where the writers might,
without inconvenience, have done itior them
selves. The main thing is for postmasters to
keep themselves. supplied with stamps that
ati persons having occasion tO use• - usay readi
ly obtain them.
Gm:ism PuorosmoN.—At a meeting of
the Pittsburg Board of Trade, a gentleman sub
mitted a proposition on the snbject of improv
ing the Ohio River, by converting it into a
slack-water canal. The suggestions were
unaniniorisly approved by the Board, and were
earnestly recommended to public consideration.
The distance from Pitisbnrg to the mouth of
the Ohio is 977 miles, with an aggregate Eilt
of 425 feet. It is assumed t hat to convert the
entire river into a slack water would requrre
only fifty locks, of an average lift of 8 which
would create pools of an aggregate length
_of
less.The_averi gp cost_of t Avarl •
from seven to ten thousand dollars per. Mile,
which is supposed to be about half the ex
pense of an ordinary canal, or about one-third
the average cost of a railroad.

Pardon fof Dr. Stephen T., Beale.
Gov. Pollock, has pardoned Stephen T. Beale,
the Philadelphia Dentist, who was convicted
of.an outrage upon the person of one of his fe
male patients while under the influence of
ether, and sentenced on the 28th of-November,
1854, to four years and six months' imprison
ment. He has, therefore, fulfi:led about one
year of his sentence. The Governor gives a
lentithy statement of the reasons which induced
him , to pardon Dr. Beak, which were princi
pally the receipt of numerous petitions from
'dentists, physicians, lawyers, clergymen,
efli
tors, Judges, and promindnt citizens generally
of this and other States; the failing health of
the prisoner ; the destitute condition .of his
aged parents, wife and children : and lastly,
the Governor's firm belief of his innocence.
The pardon concludes in the following words :
, "And whereas, after a full and careful ex
amination of the facts and evidence in . the case,
aided by the scientific discussions to which it
has given rise, (without any intention to re
flect upon the prosecutrix, who no doubt tes
tified to what she believed did occur—nor to
impugn the integrity of the learned Judge who
tried the case, nor the hone Sty of the jury who
convicted the prisoner) I am maw ratified that
the defendant, Dr. Stephen T. Beale, is not
guilt* of the crime whereof he stands charged,
and was convicted upon evidence unreliable in
its character and'insufficient in amount."
Theory of Disease;
AND ITS SIMPLE M SUMO OF CEP:E.—It is
not our object, at this time. to go into a de
tailed explanation of Professor Holloway's
theory of disease, but simply to inform the
American people that one of the most rerun rka
ble men , of this or any former age is among
them, and that his medicines have a celebrity
unprecedented in the annals of the world.
There is no charlatanry in his pretensions.
Unless all the civilized world are deceived,
the, Holloway's Pills and Ointment will drive
disease from the human system, under the
most unfavorable Circumstances, and: in all
clinics. Other men have sprang into an ephe
meral notoriety by advertising their remedies.
Like butterflies of the day they have buzzed
for a while and then expired ; both their names
and their medicines have sunk into an. obscuri
ty from which they never emerged. Others
•
have met with a limited success, perhaps as
much as they deserved. No Man, though he
' may. have the wealth of Urcesus,' can long dt
.ceive an intelligent people with a worthless
remedy for disease. If health follows the ad
ministration of ay remedy for disease, almost
without an exception, though it is prescribed in
a million of instances, and in all forms of dis
ease, all the doctors on the globe could not
make the people believe that it wan not a good
remedy, or that the inventor was not a pUblic
benefactor, and no empiric or charlatan. Pro
fessor Holloway's remedies' occupy this posi
tion before the citizens of the world. The in
ventor is a man of enlarged powers of mind,
who has seen disease in all its forms, and in
all the climates of the world.. Flis medical
office in London was daily thronged with pa -I
dents to such an extent that a police force was
necessary to be stationed at his door. But an.
otlice practice afforded too narrow a field for
the exercise of his expansive intellect, and he
determined to be the world's physician. All,
countries have had their celebrated physicians ;
• England has had-an Abernethy, France a Ma
gendie-, and America a Rush ; but these men's
tuubition only extended to a practice confined
to.a.narrow circle of friends and admirers, or
the superintendency Of a.
Professor Holloway has chosen the Globe as a
theatre fur his practice. and though now a resi
dentof Republican America, he is prescribing.
daily for hundreds of thousands on the four
-
quarters of the globe. _ - •
His medicines arc expressly designed to act
on the organs whose functions are so essential
to health. They operate on the storaulel4liver,
kidneys, lungs, and skin, restore their deranged
functions or uses, and thus purify and cleanse
the blood, the very fountains of life.—Yew
