WISHART'S DYSIPEPSIA
A POSITIVE CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA.
THE GREAT ADIERIOAN
DYSPEPSIA PILL.
WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA P
DYSPEPSIA HAS THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS
Ist. A constant pain or 'Uneasiness at Me pit of the
stomach, .whieh is caused by a permanent contraction of
the stomach upon undigested food. It generally begins
immediately or a short time after eating; is often 'treri ,
Eievere and obstiriate.
2d. Flatulence and Acidity.—Tliese symptoms arise
from the indigestion of food, which ferments instead of
digesting-. .
3d. Costiveniss and lose of appetite.—Thcse symptoms
are the effects of the unnatural condition of food., in the
'stomach, and the Want of pure bile - and gastric' jaipe.
The stomach is often painftilly distended bi wind; the
appetite is sometimes voracious.
4th. - Gloom and Depression of Spirits. —This state
units many for the enjoyment of life, and is calmed by
the impure blood furnished by imperfect digestion. . In
this stage of the disease many persons commit suicide.
There is .a constant foreboding of evil, and an indiffe.
rence and positive inability to perform the offices of life.
6th. Diarrho3a.—After being first costive, the sufferer
Is afflicted with tharrhcea, which is owing to a diseased
condition of the bowels, produced by the undigested
food, which is evacuated fin the same condition as when
eaten, and of course gives no strength to the system.
6th. Pains in all parts of the system arise from the
action of impure blood mien the nerves. They are felt
chiefly in the bead, sides. and breast, and in the °std.
mities. In many cases there is an uneaeiness in the
throat, with a sense of choking or suffocation; the mouth
is often clammy, with a bad taste and furred tongue.
7th. Consumptive Symptoms . and Palpitation of the
Heart. —Many persons pronounced' as haying these dis
eases, have, in fact, nothing but Dyspepsia, the lung
and heart disease being only symptoms.
•
Bth. Cough.-This is a very frequent symptom of.Dys
impala, and leads very often into confirmed consumption
9th. Want of Skep.-A very distressing symptom,
derangement. re::
suiting often in mental derangeent.
10th. "Symptoms of external relatiop —The padent is
effected painfully by cold and heat, which is owing to
unnatural dryness of the skin, and the skin is often af
fected - by eruptions and tellers. The gloomy dyspeptih
avoids society as much as posable.
11th. Vontitimg. —A frequent and distressing symptom.
It relieves the pain, bat emaciates and, wears out the
Patient,
12th. Dizziness, dimness of vision, headache, and
staggering in walking —These are very alarming symp
toms. which are speedkly removed by ear medicine; but
if neglected are quickly followed by numbness and sad
den death.
13T9 : -is_impossible for ns to give all the symptoms
of DyenepsiiiinsOmail a space, but the above are con.
aid ered sufficient , '-if we add that the patient loses his
memory and attention . . to surrounding objects, and' fre
gnently becomes morose and sour in disposition. We
should say, howiver, that pains in the joints and stiff
ness of the limbs, which go by the name of rheumatism
and neuralgia, are very often produced by Dyspepsia.
Also, a hardness of the muscles of the abdomen, which
become contracted and hard t and in somd cases the belly
sinks, instead of being gently prominent. -
DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA II DYSPEPSIA IP!
I. ELIZABETH BRANSON, of Brandywine,- Del., for
merly of Old. Chester. Del., do cetify that for one . year
and -a half I suffered everything but death _from that
awful disease called Dyspepsia My. whole system was
prostrated with weakness and nervous debility = ; 1 - could
not digest my food ; if I ate even a cracker, or the small
est amount of food, it would return just as I swallowed
it; I became so costive in my bowels that-I would not
have a pastago in less than.from four, and often eight
days; under this immense suffering my mind seemed en
tirely to give way.. I had dreadful horror and evil fore
bodinge. - I thought everybody hated me, and I hated
everybody ; I could not bear my husband nor my own
children ; everything appeared to be horror-stricken to
me; I had no ambition to do anything; I lost all.my
love of family and home; I would ramble and wander
ftom place to. place, but could not be contented. I felt
that I was doomed to hell, and that there was no heaven
for me, and was often tempted to commit suicide, so
near was my whole nervous system destroyed, and also
my mind, from that awlol complaint; Dyepepeia, that
my friends thought it best to have me - placad in Dr.
Kirkbride's Hospital, atWest Philadelphia. I remained
there nine weeks, and thought I was a little better, bat
in a few days my dreadful complaint was raging as bad
as ever. Dearingof the wonderati cures performed by
Dr. Wiehart's Great American Dyspeneia Pills and his
treatment for Dyspepsia, my husband called on Dr:-
Whited and stated my case to him. He Said he had no
doubt he could cure me.
. _
So in three days after I called and placed znyedkundei"
the Doctor's treatment, and in two weeks I began to di
gest myfood, and telt that. my disema-waslast giving
way, and I continued to recover for about three'mcntlia.
and at the present time I ecjoy perfect health of bodir
and mind, and 1 moat aingorely retnrn my thanks to a

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
DR. WISRAFti: I have been a constant sufferer with
Dyspepsia for the last eighteen years, during whicn
time I cannot say that I ever enjoyed a perfectly well
day. There were times when the symptoms were more
aggravated than at others, and then it seemed it would
be a great relief to die. I }tad at all times an unpleasant
feeling en my head, but latterly my sufferings so mach
increased that I became almost unfit for basinees of any
kind. My mind' was constantly filled with gloomy
thoughts and forebodings, and if I attempted -to change
their current by reading, at once a sensation of icy cold
ness, in connection with a dead weight, as it were,
rested upon my brain ; also a feeling of sickness w.onid
occur at the stomach, and great pain to my eyes, accom
panied with which was the continued fear of losing my
reason.
laiso experienced great lassitude,debility,and nervous
ness, which made it difficult to walk by day or sleep at
night. I became averse to society, and dispos 3d only to
seclusion, and having tried the skill of a number of emi
nent physicians of various schools, dually came to the
conclusion that, for this disease, at my present age, 45
years, there was no curs in existence. But, through
the interference of Divine Providence, to whom I de
voutly offer my thanks, I at last found a sovereign
remed7 in your Dyspepsia Fills and Tar Cordial, which
seem to have effectually reinJved almost the last trace
of my long list of ailments and bad feelings, and in theft
place health, pleasure, and contentment are my every
day companions. JAMES M. SAUNDER 4,

DYSPEPSIA I DYSP EPSIA I
I, Mom TOBIN. of Cheltenham, Montgomery county,
Pa. have suffered for mare than one year everything
but „
itself, from that awful donne°, called Dyspaur
sta. I employed in that time five of the most eminent
physicians in Philadelphia They did all they could
for me, with medicines and capping, bat still I was no
better. I then went to the Pennsylvania University, in
order to place myself in reach of the best medical talents
in the country, but their medicines failed to do me any
good, and of ttimes I wished for death to relieve me of
my sufferings, Int seeing Dr. Wishart's advertisement
in the Philadelphia Bulletin, I determined to try ones
more. but with little faith. I called on Dr, Wiehart, and
told him if I could have died I would not have troubled
him, and then related my sufferings to him. The
Dr. assured ins if 'he failed to care me of Dyspep
sia, it would be the first case in two years. so I pat
'myself under his treatment; and although I had been
for months vomiting nearly everything I ate, my
stomach swollen with wind, and filled with pain be
yond description, I bought a bog of his, Dyspepsia
Pills, I used them as directed, and in ten daysl could
eat as hearty a meal as any person in the State - of Penn
sylvania. and in thirty days was a well man I invite
any person buf f ering as I Was to call and see me, and I
will relate my suffering and the great cure I received:
I would' say to all Dyspeptics, everywhare, that Dr.
Wishart is, I believe, the only person on the earth that
can cure Dyspepsia with any degree of certainty. _

THE THIEVES OF -GOTHBI3I. •
It is a moat unfortunate fact, and one that is be
coming every year more aPparent, that all scientific
robbery is passing-away from our midst, and that
we have among -um only the vulgar and brutal
canaille. The great metropolieee of the world, with
the solitary exception of Gotham, have their chevol
tiers . d'inclustrie, and their .qualitied experts, who are
elaiaical and ingenious in their epoliative ways; but
we are under the thraldom of the veriest charlatans
and , blunderers of the profession. The aldermen,
constitute our beet leg in this matter; but while
.thrusting it forward, we are Mill forced to admit its
awkwardness and lack of propriety. Ingenious rob
beries' are never heard of in our, criminal records.
It is useless to hunt for sentiment in our affairs of
this nature ; for sentiment there is none.
At present, we are overrun by graceless scoun
drels only; men who lie in wait on lonesome cor
ners with the slung.shot and bludgeon, and who are
viler and more brutal than the thieves of Spain. In
the day -time you find them only in the slums of the
city ;. along the narrow, tumble-down streets that
converge at the Five Points, and the tortuous alley
like lanes in the lower districts. At night they
plink out into the orowd and glare of Broadway, and
lint the corners, enjoying themselves in an al fresco°
way, until on toward midnight, when drawing into
more compact knots, they fall back into the dark
side streets, leaving a sentinel or two at the corner,
who, after pouncing upon the nocturnal pedestrians,
make off with their spoils to where their comrades
await them. In case of pursuit, these latter die
tract the pursuers ; or when, as is sometimes the
cese, some faithful guardian of the night, in police
language, "nails" the'assailants, they hasten to the
rescue, and as an ultimate resort, back the murticipa•
enthusiast with bowies, or beat him to the pave
ment with alung.shots and brass knuckles, their
favorite weapons of offence and defence. A case in
point occurred on last Wednesday night. A. Mr.
White, of Carbondale, Pa., while gratifying his
strolling -propensities in Broadway, scarcely a
stone's throw from the St. Nicholas Hotel, was set
upon by a choice deputation from the canaille,
choked, and. robbed. The robbers made off with
their booty, heading for the nearest side street.
White, recovering froM his amazement, summoned
a policeman, who overhauled the rascals, and made
'a vigorous effort to arrest them. Appreciating the
:powerful proportions of their assailant, they gave
the signal whistle, and, in a moment, the remainder
of the gang dashed out into Broadway, and threw
themselves upon the policeman. Hereby the tables
were turned again. The officer now sent for aid,and a
dozen Metropolitans were hUrried to the scene of
action. In the brilliant skirmish which ensued, the
highwaymen were routed, and the original assail
ants secured.
These prowling bands infest not only Broadway,
but various localities of the city, where well-to-do
pedestrians are likely to be inet with. Scarcely a
night passes when some gentleman is not waylaid
by them, knocked upon the head, and literally
"cleaned out." Many, and perhaps the majority of
these cases, some of which have come under your
correspondent's notice, never reach the ears of the
authorities, from the natural indisposition of the
victims to have their names blazoned in the capital
letters of the public prints. A nomadic gang re
cently infested the line of the Hudson River Rail
road, making themselves a terror to travellers. Dis
tributing themselves through the cars at nightfall,
they awaited the times when, on nearing a station,
a solitary traveller would be left in their companion
ship, and would then fall upon him, strip him of
money, and leaping off, make away in the dar i knese.
In one instance, they dragged igentleman out upon
the platform of the smoking ear; abstracted a well
filled wallet from his pocket, and while the train
' was still in motion tossed hint off. Fortunately, he
fell in swampy ground, and sustained only tempo
...rary Injuries. Bruised, bleeding, and dizzy froffi the
effects of the fall, he managed to make flis way, to
the station where he resided, and was there found
wandering crazily, by hisfriends.
These miscreants reaped grand results from the riots
in which their political. friends were engaged, and
ranging through New;Yerk and the suburban cities,
extorted money from householders and shop-keep
ers, by employing, those terrible talismanic words,
"The Mob !" ds is the case with genuine banditti
in European countries, their services are is con
tinual demand among the unscrupulous politicians.
A dozen of these desperate rascals, arrayed in all
the glory of brass knuckles, constitute a moat po
tent,polltical machine. The district so ably repre
`,rented by the Ron. Benjamin Wood affords
sanctuary not only, but is invariably piloted through
' election day by these potential aids. They consti
tute the dais known as - "revolving voters," and
stationing themselves at the polls, consume so much
time in the internecine quarrels, that the respecta
ble portion of the district voters either absent them
selves altogether,-or are kept at the end of the line
until sunset, when voting ceases. Should an oppo
sition voter, however, prove tenacious of his rights,
the chances are in favor of a crush and scramble,
during which he is 'soundly thrashed and driven
from the scene. Such instances are so frequent in
the wards chiefly tenanted byr :the thievish rabble,
that they excite but little comment among our citi
zens, being looked upon as inevitable adjuncts to the
elections: All efforts to break up these systematized
gangs hive thus; far
,Proved unavailing, and more
espeCially for the reason that they -are the political
supporters of many of the disreputable justices now
upon the bench. A prosecuting attorney, now-a
days, is not, at certain that his Honor on the
bench may not suddenly descend, and use braes
knuckles and a slung-shot upon the seat of hislegal
acumen, should his deprecating remarks arouse the
judicial spirit in favor of the criminal at the bar. A
few dine ago, Justice Connolly desired to pronounce
the lightest sentence- allowable upon a convicted ri
oter and " friend ;" while Justice Welch desired to
pronounce the heaviest. Connolly immediately re
torted in Billingsgate, which he spoke with all the
accuracy and purity of .a native-born, and refused to
sit with his eminent contemporary. In consequence,
the court was temporarily dissolved, until otherjue
tices could be assigned. Fortunately for the public
peace, both had left their bludgeons at home, and a
fearful fray was avoided. A few years ago, the rob
ber rabble received a check from the citiiens them
selves. Within the course of a week, several of them
were shot dead in the streets while assailing pedeatri
ans homeward bound, In Brooklyn, branches of the
same organization were similarly dealt with. In
one instance a sea captain, who had been robbed and
beaten, then left for dead upon the pavement, armed
himself, as soon as he was sufficiently recovered,
and passed through the same locality again, at the
dead of night. Again the gang attacked him, but
the stout old mariner delivered his fire with such
precision that two fell mortally wounded, and the
remainder fled hatethe alleyways leading to their
haunts, leaving him in undisputed possession of the
field. These checks were positive in their nature,
and the canaille ceased from troubling,. and the weary
went to rest without losing their watches and wal
lets. Latterly, however, the organization seems to
have been revived, as is indicated by the fact that
whenever a highwayman is in, peril the peculiar
signal-whistle is- sure to bring a gang of ruffians to
the rescue, and after having proved the uselessness
of our-present justices for administering strict jus
tice in their .behalf, the citizens will, in all-proba
bility, once more use their revolvers, and check the
epidemic of violence with the final medicine which
never fails. S TUYVESANT.

surpasses in magnificence any establishment of the
kind in the world, and is daily thronged by admiring
thousands. Philadelphians whc i r ui rsit Gotham will
of courie' embrace the oppicit ty of seeing this
triumph of the good taste and, enterprising spirit of
one of their' fellow•citizens. The following article,
clipped from the New York Times of October 31, is
but one of a lorTg - series of eulogistic notices of his
grand edifice with which the press of our neighbor.
ing city teems :
IMPROVEMENTS IN BROADWAY—REEMBOLD'S
NRIV DRUG STORE.—If the lordly Secesh rebels,
whoo — were wont to promenade Broadway in the
summer and autumn, and who so confidently pre
dicted that grass would commence growing in that
thoroughfare as soon as they deckled to shake the
dust off their feet, and stop shaking the dust out .of
their pockets, for our benefit, could just take' one
back upon their, old promenade, as many of
them, we doubt not, would be glad to do, they would
discover two things—first, how silly and self-con
ceited they were, and second, how easily we can do
without them; They would find changes in Broad;
way, to be sure, but instead of grass and weeds they
would find marble taking the place of brick, iron
the place of wood, and all the evidences of improve
went and prosperity, instead of dilapidation and
decay. Not the least among the more recent im
provements that would strike their attention would
be the magnificent new drug store and chemical
warehouse, lately opened by the renowned Phila.
- de Iphia pharmaceutist, Mr. H. T. Helmbold, at No.
1594 Broadway, adjoining their old favorite resort,
the Metropolitan This establishment is
just now the lion among the attrlrstions, of Broad
way, and daily-And nightly drawing crowds to
witness its novelty and splendor. If anything can
make drugs palatable it is thin, and it would almost
compensate one for a fit 'of sickness to know that
the healing prescriptions were to be compounded in
such a gorgeous palace. Mr. Ilelmbold has leased
the entire both:ling, which is 28 feet front, 225 feet
deep, and five stories high. The front half of the
first floor is fitted up for the retail department; and
the remainder is used for the wholesale businesa;
and as a laboratory for the preparation or the various
Extracts which the name of Helmbold has:ade so
celebrated. The drug store proper is unlike any
other heretofore seen in: this city, and is probably
unequalled in the world. It would be a work of
supererogation to give a detailed description of what
everybody-is Rocking to. see for himself; but it may
rot be amiss to mention one novelty connected with
the establishment—the reception room. Who ever
heard of a reception room in &drug storet And yet,
who has not wished while standing, (frequently a
long stand,) waiting for his prescription to be pre.
pared, that the keepers'of these shops had not been
considerate enough to furnish more comfortable ad.
commodationg Helnibold has _supplied this deside•
return in his new establishment, and customers de
tained there have but to step to the - rear of the
store, where they will find luxurious chairs, sofai,
and lounges, on which to recline, while their feet
rest upon the softest of velvet carpeting. This
feature is only in keeping with the other novelties,
and with the general splendor of the establishment.
Mr. Helmboid; we understand, still continue, his
large establishment in Philadelphia, of which the
store just opened here is only_a branch, made ne•
emery by the extensive sale in this market of the
ropuiar extracts which be his mane.

THE QUESTION OF IZAOE AND PEDEDOM"
If you take up and look at the map that deline
ates the mountainous features of that continent, you
will find the peculiar structure of the Allegheny
ridge, beginning in New Hampshire, running across
the New England States, through Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, stopping in the northern part of
Georgia. [Hear, hear.] Now, all the world over,
men that live in mountainous regions have been for
liberty [cheers], and from the first hour to this hour
the majority or the population of Western Virginia,
which 14 in this mountainous region, the majority
of the population of Western Tennessee, of
Weitern Carolina, and of Northern Georgia,
have been true to the Union, and did not
want to go out. They said to the National Go
vernment "We Claim that tri fulfilment of the com
pact of the Constitution, yOU defend our rights
and retain us in the Union." [Cheers.] We would
not suffer a line of fire to be established one thou
sand five hundred miles along our Southern border
out of which, in a coming hour, there might shoot
out wars and disturbances '
with such a people as
the South, that never kept faith in the Union, and
would never keep faith out of it. They have dis
turbed the land as old Ahab of accursed memory did
—[cheers and hisses]—and when Elijah found this
Ahab in the way, Ahab said, " It is Elijah that has
disturbed Israel." [A laugh.] Now we know the na
ture of the people. We know that if we entered into
att uce with them they would renew their purpose
and take possession in the name of the devil and
slavery. [Cheers.] One more reason why we
will not let this people go is, because we
not want to become a military people. —A - great
many say America is becoming too strong ; she Is .
dangerous to the peace of the world. But if you per
mit or favor this division, the South becomes a mili
tary nation, and the North is compelled to become a
military nation. Along a line of 1,600 miles she
must have forts and men to garrison them. Theise
260,000 soldiers will constitute the national stand
ing army of the North. Now away nation that has
a standing army is in great danger. [" No, no."]
Before this war the legal size of the national
army was 25,000. That was all; the actual num
ber was 18,000, and that's all the soldiers that
we wanted. The Ttitrune and other papers re
peatedly said that these men were a moth, and
treeless hi our nation. But, if the country were
-divided, then we should have two great mili—
tary nations taking its place, and instead of a
paltry 18,000 soldiers, there would be 250,000 on one
side, and 100,000 or 200,000 on the other. And if
America, by this ill-advised disruption, is forced to
have soldiers, like a boy with- a knife, she will al
ways want to whittle with them. [Laughter and
cheers.] It is the interest, then, of the world that
that nation should be united, and that it should be
under the control of that part of Ainerica that has
always been for peace—[cieers, and cries of "No,
mo"]—that it should be, wrested from the control
and policy of that part of the nation that has always
been for more territory, for filibustering, for snub
bing foreign nations. [Cheers.]-But that is not
all. The religious-minded among our people feel
that in the territory committed to us there is a high
and solemn trust—a national trust. We are taught
that in some sense the world itself is a field, and
every Christian nation acknowledges a certain re
sponsibility for the moral condition of the globe.
But how much nearer does it come when it is one's
country And the Church of America is coming- to
feel more anti more that God gave us this country,
not merely for material aggrandizement, but for a
glorious triumph for the Church of Christ. [Cheers.]
Therefore, we undertook to rid the territory of sla
very. Since slavery has divested itself of its muni
cipal protection,
and has become a declared public
enemy, it is our duty to prevent slavery front blight
ing this far Western territory. When I stand and
look out upon that immense territory as an individ.
ual man, as a citizen, as a Christian minister, I feel
myself asked: " Will you permit that territory to be
darkened by this cloudy storm—will you permit the
cries of bondmen to issue from that fair territory, and
do nothing for their liberty I" What are we doing'?
Sending our ships round the globe, carrying mission
erica to the Sandwich Islands, to the islands of the
Pacific, to Aga; to all Africa, And yet, when this
work of redeeming our continent from the heathen.
dom of slavery lies before us, there are men who
counsel us to give it up to the devil, and not try to
do a thing Alt! independent of pounds and pence,
independent of national honor, independent of
all merely material considerations, there is
'pressing on every. conscientious Northerner's
mind this highest of all considerations—our
duty to God to save -that continent from the
blast and blight of Ida-very. [Cheers.] Yet, how
Many are there who, up, down, and over all Eng
land, are saying, "Let slavery go—let - slavery go !"
It is recorded, I think, in the biography of that
most 'noble ofyour countrymen, Sir H. To well
Buxton, [cheers,] that on one occasion a huge fa
vorite deg was seized with hydrophobia, and was
dashing hither and thither. With wonderful
courage he seized the creature by the neck and
collar, and; against the animal's mightiest efforts,
dashing hither and thither against wall and fence
an up the street, held him until help could be
got. If there had been Englishmen there of
the stripe of the Times, they would have said
to Powell Buxton, "Let him go ;" but is there
one here who - does not feel the moral nobleness of
that man, who, rather than let the mad animal go
down the street biting children and women and
men, risked his life, and prevented the dog from
doing evil Shall we allow this hellhound of
slavery„mad, mad as it is, go biting millions in the
future t [Cheers.] We will peril life and Brabant'
all we have first. These ti uthe are not exaggerated
—they are minified rather than magnified in my
statement; - and you cannot tell how powerfully
they are influencing ua unless you were standing in
our midst in America ; you cannot understand 110 W
firm that national feeling is which God has bred in
the. North on this subject. It is deeper than the
sea ; it is firmer than the hills; it is serene as the
sky over our heads, where God dwells; [Cheers.]
THE SINCERITY OP "THE' NORTH AND ENGLA.ND,.
It is declared that the North has no sincerity. It
is declared that the North treats the blacks worse
than the South does. [Hear, hear.] A monstrous
lie from beginning to end. It is declared that emen
cipation is a mere political trick—not a moral senti
ment. It is declared that this is a cruel, unphilan•
thiopic squabble of men, gone mad with national
vanity. [Cheers and hisses.] Oh, what a pity that
a man should " fall nine times the space that mea
sures day and night to make an apostacy which dia•
honors hie closing days, and to wine out the testi
mony for liberty that he gave in his youth ! But
even if all this monstrous lie about the North—this
needless slander—were true, still it would not alter
the fact that Northern success will carry liberty
—Southern success, slavery. [Cheers.] For when
society dashes against society, the results are not
What the individual motives of the members of aeo
clay would make them—the results are what the in
stitutions of society make them. When your army
stood at Waterloo, they did not know what were the
tremendous moral consequences that depended on
that battle. It was not what the individual soldiers
meant, nor thought, but what the British Empire—
the national life behind, and the genius of that re
nowned kingdom which sent that army to victory—
meant and thought. ("Hear, bear."] And even if
the Preaident were false, if every Northern man were
a juggling hypocrite, that does not change the Con
stitution; and it does not change the fact that if the
North prevails, she carries Northern ideas] and
Northern institutions with her. [Cheers.] But I
hear a loud protest against war. ["Hear, hear."]
Ladies and gentlemen, Der. Chairman, there is a
small band in our country and in yours—l wish
their number were quadrupled—who have borne
the solemn and painful testimony against all wars,
under all circumstances ; and although i differ with
them on the subject of defensive warfare, yet when
men that rebuked their own land, and all lands, now
rebuke us, though I cannot accept their judgment,
I bow with profound respect to their consistency.
[Hear, hear, and cheers.] But excepting them I re
gard B
this British horror of the American war as
something wonderful. [Renewed cheers and laugh
ter.] Why, it is a phenomenon in itself. On
what shore has not the prow of your ships
dashed? [Hear, hear.] ' Whatland is there with a
name and a people where your banner has not led
your soldiers ? [Hear, hear.] And when the great
resurrection reveille shall sound it will muster
British soldiers from every clime and people under
the whole Heaven. [Cheers.] Ati ! but it is said
this is a war against your own blood. [Hear, hear.]
How long is- it since you poured soldiers into
Canada, and let all your yards work night and day
to avenge the taking of two men out of the Trent?
[Loud applause.] Old England shocked at a
war of principle! She gained her gloriea in
such a war. [Cheers.] Old England ashamed
of a war of principle! Her national ensign sym
bolises her /14story— the cross is a field of blood.
[Cheers.] And you will tell us who inherit your
blood, your ideas, and your pluck [cheers], thee we
must not light? [Cheers ] The child must heed the
parents until the parents get old, and tell the child
not to do the thing that in early life they whipped
him for not doing. And then the child says, father
and mother are getting old ; they had better betaken
sway from their present borne, and come to live with
us. [Cheers and hisses ] Perhaps you think that
the end island will do a little longer. [Hiseee.] Per
haps you think there is coal enough. Yerhaps you
think the stock is not quite run out yet; but when
ever England comes to that state that she does not
go to war for principle, she had better emigrate, and
we will get room for her. (Laughter.] I have
been very much perplexed what to think about the
attitude of Great Britain in respect to the South.
I must, I suppose, look to the, opinion of the make ,
rity of the English' people. I don't believe in the
Times. [Groans for the Times; groans for the Tele
graph.] You cut my poor sentence in two, and all
the blood rune out of it. [Laughter.] I was just
going to say that like most of you I don't believe in
the Times, but I'always read it. [Laughter.] Every
Englishman tells me that the Times is no exponent
of English opinion, and yet I have taken notice
that when they talk of men, somehow or other
their last argument is the last thing that was
in the Times. [Laughter.] I think it was the
Times or Post that said America was sore because
she had not the moral sympathy of Great Bri
tain, and that the moral sympathy of Greet Bri
tain bad gone for the South. [No, mo ] Well,
let me tell you, that those who are represented in the
newspapers as favorable to the South, are like men who
have arrows and bozos strong enough to send the shafts
3,000 miles; and those who feel sympathy for the Forth
are like men who have shafts, but have no bows that
could shoot them far enough. [Hear.] That part of
the English sentiment that has made itself felt on
our shales, is the part that slandered the North and
took part with the South ; and if you think we are
unduly sensitive, you must take into account that
the part of English sentiment carried over is the part
that gives its aid to slavery and against liberty.
[Hear, heal.] I shall have a different story to tell
when I get back. [The assembly rote, and for a few
moments hats and handkerchiefs were waved erithU
emetically amidst loud cheering.]

[Laughter.] New York is flirting with Russia, but
she has got her eye on England. [Cheers.] Well, I
hear men say this is a piece of national folly that is
not becoming on the part of the people a 0 reputedly
wise,'and in such solemn and important circum
stances: It is said that when Russia is now engaged
in suppressing the liberty of Poland, it is an indecent
thing for America to make believe to flirt with her.
I think so too. [Loud cheers.] Now you know what
we felt when you were flirting with Mr. Mason at

gentlemen, it did not do any hurt to have you

timents. England, because she is a Chriatian nation,
because she has the guardianship of the dearest prin

friendly with every nation and with every tongue.
But when England looks out for an ally, she ought
to find' her own blood, her own- language, her own

natural ally of Great Britain. [Cheers.] I declare
that all sorts of alliances with Continental nations
as against America monstrous, and that all flirta

CCorreopondence of the Nevr York Herald.)
If there is any truth in the statement which I
heard this morning from one of Grant's staff offi
cers, it appears that Bragg does not intend to de
pend entirely on General .Starvation to drive-Tho
mas from Chattanooga. This statement was to the
effect that a corps of Bragg's army was pushing up
the valley towards Loudon and Kingston, with the
purpose of attacking Burnside. This movementon
Thomas' flank bye portion of Bragg's army is not
unexpected, and the information is startling only
because we are told that Ewell is in command. It
was said that Ewell was engaged in the Chicka
mauga fights, but this was a fallacy already ex
posed. But of late we have been told that Ewell's.
corps had moved to Bragg's aid, and now comes this
positive statement that the name commander hes
moved up the valley. 'We shall probably hear fur

It is stated here that, In all probability, Assistant

The labor of organizing Thomas' army and keeping

which General Thomas will not be envied.

The effect of this, when known at home, will be
to make a recruiting officer of every father, mother,

undoubtedly, the infantry are ever popular. Those
who seek to evade the conscript act will be hunted
out and reported. The quasi.exempt will be mon

SOUTHERN GREEK FIRE
The Mobile Register and Advertiser asserts that
Col. John Travis (of pistol-shot notoriety) has
discovered, if not the ancient, at least its counter.
part and equal, the modern "Greek fire." Its com•
ponenta are kept secret, but Col. Travis tenders the
use of his invention to the Confederate States, The
Register gives the following account of a test of this
fire
" On Thursday evening last, near the bay road, in
the suburbs of this city, in the presence of several
scientific protessore ordnance and artillery officers,
Col. Miller, commanding this volunteer and con.
script bureau, other officers of the army and navy, a
-score of ladies, and at least one repzeseatative of the
press, Captain Travis made two distinct experi
ments of his fire or composition, using on each OCCS-
BiOE.leBS than half a plat of the prepafation, a fluid.
Both were eminently auccessful, eliciting universal
commendation. Instantaneously on being exposed
to the air the-fluid becomes a blaze of fire, with heat
intense, resembling that of a liquid metal in the
smelting process. &pile of green wood, into which
it was thrown, ignited immediately, litre . tinder.
" Without delay, within ten seconds, a number of
buckets full of water were thrown upon the flames,
a dense volume of smoke ascended, the hissing and
singing sound of a quenched fire was heard ; but lo !
the burning fluid licked up the water, destroying its
oxygen, a fluid seemingly added to the flame, and
the wood cracked and hummed, and the flames arose
again defiantly, unquenchable- < On_ the occasion of
these experiments Travis' Greek Fire' burned
for something over a quarter of an hour in full vigor
and force. Its beat is intense, and flies at once into
the body of the substance it touches."

A Prize Fight in Caliibrnia.
A ring battle, which lately took place on Angel's
Island, somewhere near San Francisco, is graphi
cally. described in the papers of that city. Twenty
rounds were fought on the Ist, and on the 2d some
thing like 86. The following describes the conclusion
of the fight : -
Ninety- second to Ninety.severith Round—Dwyer
gave a number of telling blows upon various parts
of Walker's plat, all of which did execution. Wal
ker now looked frightful ; his face was beaten into a
perfect jelly, and resembled an uncooked beefsteak.
Time, two bourn and fifty-tive minutes.
Ninety-eighth to One Hundred and Second Round
—Walker received much additional punishment and
was striking very wildly. Dwyer watching an oppor
tunity to go in and win.
One Hundred and Third Round-Dwyer hits Walker
on the ogle and Closes upon him; both down. Time,
three hours and ten minutes.
One Hundred and Fourth Round—Dwyer watched
his chance and put in another on the goggle, which
again started the home-brewed.
One Hundred and Fifth Round—Walker's eyes are
completely closed, but he has not exhausted his'sup•
ply of ammunition ; he comes to, time nhnbly, re
ceives a blow, closes in, and is thrown.
One Hundred and Sixth and Last Round—Walker
comes to the soratch, holding his eye open With the
thumb and finger. When he gets in range, he sails
in and clutches Dwyer, and is thrown. His seconds
carry him to his corner, and tell him it is useless to
fight any longer, as he has no earthly chance to
win. He begs to be permitted to go on ; but when
time is called the sponge is thrown up by Clark.
This wasfollowed by a rush of the crowd into the
ring, and -three cheers for the victor. Walker
seated himself upon Winrow's knee, and cried like
a child at being debarred from continuing . the
struggle.
The battle was one of the best ever fought in
America, and both men proved their capacity for re
ceiving and giving punishment, and gave entire
satisfaction to those of the fancy who were present.
During the return to the city the passengers made
up a purse of two hundred dollars for the purpose of
presenting it to Walker. Dwyer announced his in
tention of contributing one hundred dollars from the
stakes as soon as they are given to him. The boys,
in discussing;the merits of the mill, became very
warm, and two of them had a fight. Otherwise
there Would have been no outside trouble, • e
The Friendliness of England.
The following we take from the recent speech of
the British Attorney G eneral, Sir Roundell Palmer :
Now, he believed that there was no unfriendly
feeling in England towarde America, and it was hie
belief that whatever might be written in - newspa
pers, or uttered in the heat and excitement of public
speeches there was not that unfriendly feeling to
wards this country, on the other side of the Atlan
tic, which some seem to think. [Hear:] Let us
discredit rash words, lightly written and lightly ego.
ken, and look at great facts—those facts which tell
upon the history and permanent interests of both
countries, and those facts which all may appeal to
when brought into contact individually with the
citizens of either country. [Applause]. Look at the
facts relating to the history of the two countries.
Are we not, after all, one and the same people I , Are
we not brothers? Is not their blood our blood'? May
we not claim and point with pride to everything
great and noble among them as belonging to us, from
whom they sprang t May they not point, and do
they not point, to everything great in our history
and literature at the present day, and say, We
have also a share in this I" [Great applause.] Do
ever any of you meet an American in society and not
ree this feeling, when the question is one of deeds
not of words? When a real practical test is applied,'
that feeling, under proper management on both sides,
if the Governments do their duty, will be the pre
vailing feeling, and that friendship, which the mu
tual interests of both countries dictated, which the
common ties of both nations dictated, would con
tinue ; and there was nothing in the world which
could be gained on either side by that kind of fratri
cidal war which must inevitably come to pass if the
two countries were causelessly to quarrel with
each other. •
Nominferference America. had a right to. require from
us, and they had it right likewise to expect submis
sion from us to all the rules and laws which nations
have established to regulate the intercourse be
tween each other during war; but to require more,
to require a universal sympathy with the Northern
view, why that was a most unreasonable thing, and
it would not bear examination for a single moment.
In truth, the opinion of this country was very much
divided on the subject. A great number of people,
perhaps, in the upper class more especially, have sym
pathies with the South. A great many other pea•
ple—among the great manufacturing cities we may
suppose; among the masses of the population—if
they do not-actually sympathize with, at all events
had no feeling against the North, and have most
unquestionably shown , by their conduct that they
would resist and disapprove any interference of this
country in throwing our power into the scale of the
South against the North, even though the effect of
our so doing were to mitigate their distresses and
to bring.supplies of cotton for their mills. If a fair
balan , :e were struck it would puzzle any one to say
on which side our sympathies lie

COLON - EL : I have the honor to forward you the
following letters, received a few days since from
Sergeant W. H. Carney, company C, of this regi
men... Mention has before been made of his heroic
contact in preserving the American Ilag, and best
irs. it from the aold. in the assault on Fort Wagner
on the 18th of July last, but that you may have the
history complete, I send ai simple abatement of the
facts, as I have obtained them from him, and as
officer who was an eye witness:
When the sergeant arrived to within about 0243 r
hundred yards of the fort—he was with the first
battalion, which was in the advance of the storm
ing column—he received the regimental colors,
premed forward to the front rank, near the Colonel,
who was leading the men over the ditch. He
says, as they ascended the wall of the fort, the
ranks were full, but as soon as they reached the
top, " they melted away before the enemy's fire
" ahnost instantly." He received a severe wound
in the thigh, but fell only upon his knees.
He planted the flag upon the parapet, lay down
on the outer elope, that he might get as much
shelter as possible ; there he remained for over half
an hour, till the 2il brigade came up. He kept the
colors flying until the second conflict was ended.
When our forces retired, he followed, creeping on
one knee. still holding up the fing. It was thus that
Sergeant Carney came from the field, having held
the emblem of liberty over the walls of Fort Wag
ner during the sanguinary conflict of the two bri
gades, and having received two very severe wounds,
one in the thigh, and one in the head. Still he re
fused to give up his sacred trust until he found an
officer of his regiment.
When be entered the field hospital, where his
wounded comrades were being brought in, they
cheered him and the colors. Though nearly ex
hausted with the loss of blood, he said : "Hays, the
old j lag never touched the ground."
Of him as a man and a soldier, I can speak in the
highest terms of praise.
I have the honor to be, Colonel, very respectfully,
your most obedient eervant,

DRAR 'STE : Complying with your request, I send
you the following hiatory, pertaining to my birth,
parentage, social and religious experience and stand
ing-; ins short, a concise but brief epitome of my
life. I 'undertake to perform in my poor way.
I was born in : Norfolk, Va., in 1840; my fa
ther's name was William Carney; my mother's
name before her marriage was Ann Dean, and. was
the property of one Major Carney, but at his death,
she, with all his people, were by his will made free.
In my fourteenth year, when I had no work to do, I
attended a private and secret echbol, kept in Nor
folk by a minister. In my fifteen year I embraced
the Gospel ; at that time I was also engaged In the
coasting trade with my father.
In 1856 I left the sea for a time, and my father set
out to look for a place to live in pease and freedom.
Re first stopped in the land of William Penn, Ben
jamin Franklin, and where the "bright Juniata , .
flows—Pennsylvania—but he rested not there ; the
black man was not secure on the soltwhere the De
claration of Independence was written. He went
far. Then he visited the 'Empire State—great New
York—whose chief ambition seemed to be for com
merce and gold, and with her unceasing struggle for
supremacy she heard not the slave; she only had
time to spurn the man with the sable skin, and
made him feel that he was- an alien in his native
land.
At last he set hie wearv, feet upon the sterile rock■
of "Old Massachusetts." The very air he breathed
put enthusiasm into his spirit. 0. ves, he found a
refuge from opprtssion in the Old Bay State. He
selected as his dwelling place the city of New Bed
ford,-where "Liberty Hall" is a sacred edifice.
Like the Tcmpleof Diana which covered the virgins
from beam in olden time, so old Liberty Hall
in New Bedford protects the oppressed slave of the
19th century. After stopping a short time, he seat
for his family, and there they still dwell. I remained
in the city with the family, pursuing the avosations
of a jobber of wink for stores, and at such places as
I could ficd employment. I soon formed connection
with a church undercharge of the Rev. Mr. Tetekson,
now chaplain of the 55th- Massachusetts Volunteers.

Previous to the formation of colored troops Lhad

[Correspondence of the Evening Post.]
Bayrusonz, October 28, 1883.
One of the most significant and important events
of the times was the recent speech of Mr. Joseph T.
Stewart, of Baltimore county, delivered before a
large assembly of the people, convened at Woodbu
ry, yesterday, to discuss the question of, the: aboli
tion of slavery in this State. I send you an extract,
which I hope you will publish for the edification of
the Copperheads:
" There was indicted, a short time since, a negro
named Thomas Timmins, for inducing a slave gui
to run away. The girl remaiell in jail as a wit
ness one hundred and tqenty•three days, at a cost
to the county of $1 per day, which was paid to her
master, Making $123 The sherif received sixty
five cents' day for her board, making $l9
The grand jury wasted a day at 'mast examining
witnesses. Twenty.three men, at $3 par day
each, makes $46. The costs to State's attorney,
clerk, sheriff', and crier, not less than $2O, making
an aggregate of s26o.9s—and the -negro was
never caught to meet his trial. Under the run
away act our county jail has been filled with alleged
runaways. They are taken up on the highways by
anybody who chooses to suspect them, or who hopes
to obtain $l9 for the arrest, and lodged in jail. The
aheriff, although the hotel is furnished him rent free,
gets sixty-five cents a day, or $1 55a week, for board
ing free negroes as alleged runaways; quite sulk
cleat to pay a gentleman's fare at a good hotel The
negro remit be kept fifteen days and then advertised ;
he must then be kept sixty days after advertisement
for his master to call for him, if he has one. In most
cases he has none ; and Sambo has been boarded at
the county's expense at a cost of about $52, while
the printer pockets an additional sum for adverti
sing.
. .
All this is done for the protection of sisvery,
and we, the people. pay for ',V.: This while all the
slave property in the county pays but $1,946 into
the treasury—a sum not equal to the expense it
creates durinv_nany a single term of court.
Th
* • e eternal principles of truth and
justice may not be violated without punishment.
That state of society in, which this is done delibe
rately is upon the eve of revolution. Its rottenness
needs purgation. and it is now undergoing through
out the South the terrible pureation of blood and
tlre. •
" All around us here—and further South it is still
worse—we see mulattoes, and quadroons, and octo
roons, bearing the mark of a shameful birth upoa
their hi ous—the hybrid offspring of praetiaal amal
gamation between slavehoiders and their slaves.
They have hitherto brought a higher price in the
market then purely black people. For house ser
vants the more Anglo-Saxon blood the better—
especiaNy for comely females. Thus we see that
breeders have appeals made by this hellish system
to the two grossest passions of man's nature—lust
and avarice—to break God's laws and man's laws in
the production of hybrids.
"And yet this is the institution which sets itself
up as Divine! Rather let us bow down and wor
ship the Grand Llama of Thibet or admit the di
vinity of the "Emperor of the Celestials. Ladd spoke
not greater blasphemy when advocating the divine
right of kings; but as the great Paritan, Oliver
Cromwell, drove his spearhead into the bladder of
that insolent pretension, so let the Puritan notion
of free government, and popular sovereignty to-day
send this last hideous offspring of divine right over
the water to Charlie.' "
A fact just come to me goes to show the speed of
our journey Inge to the land of freedom for the black
man. For the last three years a Quaker gentleman
in Harford county has stood indicted for circulating -
Helper's book. Last week he was present at an
emancipation meeting in that county, and there saw
his informants and persecutors listening to and ap
plauding. an Abolition speech bythat glorious old
"Black Republican," .Tud,t.e Kelley, who p you know,
has away of talking right to the point. Our Qua
ker friend is in ecstasies, and says it was glory
enough for him, retaliation enough for all his out
rageous wrongs, to witness that spectacle.
President Washington and Emancipation
In Maryland.
[Fromthe Baltimore American.]
A Correspondence took piece in 1796 between "The
Father of hiss Country," the great and immortal
Washington, and Sir John Sinclatr. London, which
can be found in the Journal of Agriculture, _voL 2; p.
433. According to Sir John's letter, "at the com
mencement of the year 1796, the aspect of affairs in
Great Britain became of the gloomiest description."
He was desirous of securing some home or "asybaM"
for himself and family, free from the calamities of
Europe, and in order-to better acquaint himself with=
our then new born and free Republic, he addressed
a letter to President: Washington, inquiring as to
the most desirable section of our country to locate
.
or reside 311.
P 1 eeitient Washington's reply bears date Phila
delphia, 1 iih December, 1796, from which I desire to
matte a few extracts pertinent to the question now
engrossing- the mind of every "Unconditional Union
man" in our State. After enumerating several
States in particular, and all in general, he says:
"This mere] descsiption is furnished that you may
to enabled to form Ll' rled
States which would be most congenial to y.ne incli
nation. To pronounce with any degree of precision
what lands could be obtained for in the parts I have
enumerated is next to impossible, for the reasons I
have before assigned; but upon pretty good data it
may be said that those in Pennsylvania are higher
than those in Maryland (and, I believe, in any other
State), declining in price as you 9 0 southerly until the
rice swamps of South Carolina and Georgia are met
with, and those are as much above the medium In
'nice as they are below it in health.
"1 undostand, however, that from $3O to $4O per
acre may be denominated the medium price in the
vicinity, of the Susquehanna, in the State of Penn
sylvania ;-from $2O to $3O on the Potomac, in what
is called the Vidley—that is, lying between the
North Mountain and the Blue Mountain—which are
the tidiest lands we have ,• and less, as I have no
ticed before, as you proceed southerly. From what
I have said, you will have perceived that the pre

" TWo reasons have already been assigned for this :
first, that in the settled part of it the land is divided
into smaller farms, and more improved; and,
secondly, being in a greater degi ee than any other,
the ieceptacle of emigrants, these receive the first
impressions in Philadelphia, and rarely look beyond
the limits of the State; but besides these, two other
causes not a little operative, may be added, namely
that until Congress passed general laws relative to.
naturaiization and citizenship, foreigners found it
easier to obtain the privilege announced to them in
that State than elsewhere; and, because, there are
laws here for the gradual abolition of slavery, which
neither of the two States above mentioned have at
present, but which nothing is more certain than
that they must have,,and at a period not remote."
