THE PUBLIC. -TO THE PUBLIC. - TO THE PUBLIC. la the year 1846, the writer of this article •ambarked in the drag business in the city of Philadelphia, where he has been engaged now over sixteen year!` in the manu facture of pharmaceutical preparations of various de scriptions. Brit for the last ten, years Most of• his time has been employed• in the manufacture of the various solid andllaid extracts. Most prominentamong those to which he desires to call the particular attention of the faculty, druggists, and the public, are the Highly Concentrated Fluid Ex tract Bitch% and Highly Concentrated 'Fluid Emmet Sarsaparilla. ' . Both of these aro prepared on purely scienhadPrincl . . , . pies (in vacno,) and embody the frill strength of the va rious ingredients entering into their composition. These medicines require considerable care in le preparation; and the employment of different menstrn in - successive! operations to take up the extract matters, end' in corals-, unence are most frequently Improperly *lade, and net unfrequently much impaired , If not - re dered totally -inert, ; by the injudicious and nnskilfal ausgement of those acquainted with pharmaceutical pre mrations. - si My extract Duchn, upon inspection, Ibe found to be of the odor. color ; and taste of the plan of that name;', and. not a dark, glutinous preparation. A taady - and conclusive test willbe a comparison of its operties with those set forth in the United States Diaper' tory. r ' The Extract Sarsaparilla is far superior o any prepa ration that has ever come to my notice as tblood purify ing agent. A tablespoonful of the Extrad Sarsaparilla added to a pint of water is fully equal to 'he• celebrated Lisbon Diet Drink, so lunch used by enfeebled and. deli Cate constitutions of both sexes and all age. . -, . . One bottle is fully equal in strength to, one gallon of: the syrup or defection as usually made, and hundreds' of druggists throughout the country hay* allowed it hi' making their scrape of this name. I desire,in this connection,to make a plain statement of facts, being nromPted to do so— First—Bra; consideration of the welfare of sneering hiunanitYX • , • • Second-7Recause I do not wish my articles classified as nostrums or Uatent medicines, many, of which are made by persons too ignorant to read a physician's • sin:Loyd prescription, mach less to - manufactire pharniacerlifeal preparations. These persons advertise. This I and compellea - to do, to bring my name before the public, Onscientionsly be lieving that I have the most valuable articles that were ever advertised. They have been advertieed over ten' years, commencing in a small way, and; have pot only 'sustained their reputation, but their popparitY has ex tended to all .parts of the United • States', and -widely throughout foreign countries. As belore remarked, I, in common with the manufac turerers of patent medicinL. advertise my, medicines.' But how shortliyed have 'been the thousands of these articles. And yet there are many persons irho will con tinue to think that merit in the article is no) ' eseential to success. MT course, in many particulars, has beenguite differ ent from that of any others. With over 30.030 rupolicit ed certificates and recommendatory letters feom all sec . Bons. many of which are from the highest sourees, in- . eluding eminent .physicians, clergymen. statesmen, &c.

WEDNEBDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1868. The• Late Major Charles P. Taggart. Last month, the grave closed over Charles F. 'fag gart,firet Major in the Second Pennsylvania Cavalry. A native of Virginia, he fell, as a brave man would wish to fall, in defence of the Union, battling on hie native soil against her Secessionists. At the time of his death, he was only thirty-one years old. .Major Taggart was educated in the University of Pennsylvania, whence he went into mercantile pur suits. Hia taste for and knowledge of chemistry .would probably have helped to - make him an able • medical man, bad he so determined. When the Re bellion broke out, Charles . F. Taggart went oa the three months , service, as Quartermaster in the First City Troop, in which he had been sergeant for a considerable time. He returned to Philadelphia, in August, 1861, prostrated by typhoid fever, from Which he slowly recovered. In the following No vember he joined the newly-formed 2d Pennsylvania Cavalry, as senior major, and helped very much in speedily bringing that regiment into a state of per feet discipline and drill. His brother, Dr. William H. Taggart, became Surgeon of the same regiment. Soon after proceeding, with his corps, oa active duty in the field, Major Taggart wai appointed Inspector General of Cavalry on Major General Stahl , s staff, and _subsequently* w as Assistant Adjutant General on General Kilpatriek , s staff. After a long employment in these responsible capacities, Major Taggart returned to his regiment at General Meade'e headquarters, at Germantown, Va., and when gallantly leading his men against the foe, at Bealeton Station, on the 22d October; received a shot in his knee. He remained an hour in the sad dle after this, but was compelled to give in. Ampu tation. followed, and he died on. the 24th, from the nervous shock: He had been engaged in sixteen battles, and safely got through all but the last. Hewes fol lowed to the grave, in Laurel Hill Cemetery, by the First City Troop, and by his fellow-Maaons of She Industry Lodge, who mourned a gallant comrade and a noble-hearted. man, r Major Taggart had co many friende in this city, that we are sure they will peruse, with pleasure, a letter from Brigadier Gregg, dated "'Headquarters, Second Cavalry Diviston,•Army of the Potomac, November 1, 1863," addressed to Col, T. H. Pule ston. It runs 'thus: °'*l must expresi to you, a friend of the late Major Taggart, Di Pennsylvania Cavalry, how much the ckwth of that gaiihritoMber is lamented by a large circle of army frienew I - had' but slight personal knowledge of Major Taggart, his regiment having been assigned , to my divisionThut a few days Wore his'death. It was only the dhy pre- Vious to his death that one of my staff ofticerrapOke to me of Major Taggart in the• strongest terms-of admiration. After he had fallen, every tongue paid willing tribute of respect to a comrade who had met a soldier's death so gallantly. The handsome repulbe given the enemy by the 24 Pennsylvania Civalryis hnown to you. This advantage was not gained bat at the coat of the life of one universally beloved and% respected. A stranger to his relatives., I will express to you my deep sympathy with those vyho knew Ma jor Taggart best, to love him most. May their grief be managed by the thought that he died in the de fence of Liberty.n • Tae STAISTE FRAVDS.—Five years ago, Causten Browne, a New England counsellor at law, published a "Treatise on the Construction of the Statute of Frauds, as in force in England and the United States, with en Appendix containing the existing English and American Statutes." Of this, a second edition (Bvo., pp. 668), carefully revised, with extensive additions, has just been published by Little, Brown, & CO., Boston. The subject feel very great importance, where-property is concerned: In all countries where law prevails freed invalidates obligations. Thus, 'A is induced by the mbrepre. lientations or by the concealments of B to enter into a contract or agreement, to which he would not otherwise have consented: Fraud is considered to have been employed, so as- to render the contrast null and void. There need not even ,be a positive misrepresentation or a studied concealment. This bilinchets off into. Concealment, Error, Guarantee, Misrepresentation, Wills, Leases, Money Settle ment, Sales, Contract, Sale-Warranty, In the year 1678, during the reign of Charles IL, the English Parliament passed a law (29 Ca, 11., chap. 3) entitled "The Statute for the prevention of Frauds and Per juries," now' generally known as the Statute of Frauds. It originated in the desire of eminent English jurists to prevent and punish the numerous frauds which were perpetrated by means of- en borned and perjured witnesses. The principle of this law has been carried out, by legislative enact ment, (as Mr. Causten Browne amply shows in his appendix,) - in, we believe,. all the States of our Union. The misfortune of the law is that every one who makes contracts may not know how sharp its operation is, if enforced, that many of their acts when making such contracts, are actually but igno rantly illegal. To such, and to the profession at large, this work by Mr. Causten Browne will be the greatest advantage. He gives a vast number of cases, decisions, and authorities, with a double in dex—the first, of cares quoted ; the second, which is analytical, of subjects. The "Statute of. Frauds" has not been adopted, we think, in any country ex cept England and the United States, but its subject is elsewhere generally brought before commorelaW and equity tribunals. M. J. liddarride, a Parisian jurist, published an able treatise, in three volumes, etDu Dol et la Fraude," in 1862, To the Editor of The Press SIR : in The Press of yesterday you express a very decided opinion in favor of one session of the public schools—viz, from 9 A. X. till 2 P. M., instead of the one session of three hours in the morning, and- a second session of two or two and a half hours in the afternoon. The columns of a newspaper may not be the most appropriate place to discuss such a queition; but as you have stated some reasons for the change, you will, peihaps, admit a few against it. Se Jar as physical effects'are concerned, is it not manifest that the continuous session of five hours must be a heavier tax on- the powers of mind and body than the same number of hours of schooltime, but an interval of two hours of relaxation between the third and fourtliof theml In other words, is it not better that school children should come to a dead pause at the end of three hours, and change the whole some, and after the lapse of a couple of hours—during which they take their mid -day meal, help their mothers to get and clear away dinner, tic. —between their school duties, at 2 P. M., to be re. leased again in another couple of hours until the next morning at 91_ It is generally understood that a fro• quent change of position, exercise in the open air, and a relaxation of body and mind, are the chief thbiga required to prevent ill effects from school life. Now, any one must, have observed the enjoyment that schoolboys and girls take on the way to and from school, and the proposed change to one session will take away just one-half of this. It is preaumeffthat if teachers regarded simply their own comfort, they Would prefer a break of a couple of hours in the rou tine of school duties, while it might be of some advan• tage, for purposes unconnected icdh sato& engeceanints, to have an uninterrupted afternoon and evening— _ viz.: from two o'clock till bed time. It is believed that 'were the case fairly; put, upon its merits, to any physician, or physiologist, ,or. psychologist, the decision would be in favor of the existing custom of two sessions. It is worthy of consideration that the larger portion' of, the pupils in the public schools are from families whose day meal occurs between 12 and 1 o'clock. The in convenience which would attend the reservation of the children's portion of food for an hour or two (to say nothing of the loss of one of the few opportuni ties which laboring men enjoy of domestic inter course)" would be very serious. Respectfully, PECELA. 3 Nov. 17. A PARENT. [From the Detroit Free Press, lath. ] It is estimated that there are in the neighboring provinces of Canada not less than 100,000 able-bodied men, refugees from the Southern States and desert ere from the Union armies, who are well drilled, and may in a abort time be organized into an army of thoroughly-disciplined soldiers. It 'is known that they are already pinched with want, and it is calculated that, as the season advances, they will be driven .by destitution -to any , desperate adventure that promises relief from starvation and exposure. rA necessary part of this scheme is a naval force. How is this to be procured t will be asked. If our information is correct it is already at hand. Every one will call to mind the frequent mention in the telegraphic despatches of the escape of -blookade• runners from the port of Wilmington, and their arrival at Halifax. These vessels, most of them, are compactly built, swift,--light-draught steamers. Beside the supply of cotton and other articles taken from the rebelports ' ethey carry regular commis sions as part of -the Confederate navy, and such armament as is suited to their tonnage and capacity. The fact of their coming from a - Confederate port bearing their commissions will relieve them from the objections urged against British-built vessels, like the Alabama and others, .which have never touched at a port under rebel Jurisdiction. These vessels,- after having procured what supplies they can at Halifax without violating the, neutrality laws are, to start ostensibly on a cruise, but will make their way directly up the St. Lawrence, through Lake Ontario, the Welland canal, and Lake Erie, and, tatting position in the river °pup ate 'Detroit, demand its unconditional surrender. The United States, by treaty stipulation with. Great Britain, being precluded from maintaining any naval force on the lakes exeept for revenue pur poses, will of course be powerless to meet such an armament on its coming, and navigation will be closed before a force can be improvised to act against the audacious rovers. Thus having possession of and commanding the city, they will declare it open to commerce, and draw supplies—for paying for which ample means have been provided from the proceeds .of blockade-running between the ports of Wilmington and Halifax—and also 'receive willing accessions to their force from the ready material mentioned above, from the other side. This plot is entirely consistent 'with' the lately discovered conspiracy, in. Cincinnati to seize the steamer Michigan and release the prisoners confined on Johnson's Island, in Sandusky bay, and that conspiracy UMW doubtless a part, though by no means a necessary part, -of it. The plot is a novel one, but , it must be, conf'essed not more raSh than many warlike enterprises that meet with success. The defenceless condition of our lake-coast and towns not only suggests but invites come such en terprise, and Detroit, from its location, seems best adapted for Its execution. The Buffalo Commercial, of Friday evening, says of the plot : "/t was simply characteristic of South ern bluster and bravado, and; from the nature of things, impotent and idle." tret it is the part ofpru dence and caution to investigate matters thoroughly, and to take such steps Sc would be necessary to in sure our perfect safety. Philadelphia RECRUITING for the rebels is still continued in some parts of Misiouri. Forty recruits for Price's army were captured by our koouts a few'ilsys since. Legal Literature. School Sessions. The Late Canadian Plot. THREE CENTS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. RECOIS*NOIMANCE TO TIER RAPIDAN. Part Corps Ivlovino Southward. WASIIIMITON, Nov. 17.—0 n Sunday morning the cavalry division of Gen. Kilpatrick, under the tem. porary command of Gen. Custer, made a reconnois sance along the Rapidan, at Raccoon ford, to ascer tain the truth or falsity of the reports that the enemy were falling back upon Gordonsville. As our cavalry approached they Were greeted With a few guns from the rebel entrenchments, but our light battery soon silenced them, A small number of sharpshooters were seen in the lower rifle•pits, and shortly afterwards a strong !entry force was discovered. The river was too much swollen by the heavy storms of Saturday night to cross, and so our cavalry returned. "Ewes confidently believed that the railroad trains would run into Culpeper last night, as the bridge over the Rappahannock was 'nearly completed, and the road uninjured thence to Culpeper. The report, on Thursday, that a rebel force had crossed the Rapidan and attacked Kilpatrick is untrue. Several English officers are guests at General Afeade'a headquarters. Information, through a usually reliable channel, in Washington, is to the effect that two divisions of Hill's Corps have left the Rapidan•and gone south ward, but whether to Tennessee, or Fredericksburg, or to demonstrate upon the. left flank of the Army of the Potomac, does not yet appear. It is reported that at least one sutler of the rebel army remained behind at Culpeper, with a considera ble stock of tobacco, which he offered for sale to our troops. If correct, it will be confiscated and gratui tously supplied to our soldiers. TIIIE SOU,ITIVIEST, RLTMORED ATTACK UPON ROOKER. srirE,TA.9[ToIN. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—The World's. Chattanooga letter of the lath mentions that a rumor was then prevailing that Honker had just been attacked. [Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial 1 CHATIVaiO•O4.k, Nov. 11.---There has been no fighting since our eeizure of Lookout Valley, two weeks, ago. Hooker's position is considered im pregnable.

The Rebel claims Knoxville certain, and hopeathat will release Bragg, and prevent further retreat- on Georgia. The correspondent of the Rebel, from the fronbef Chattanooga on November 2d, says : "Had Jenkins attacked Hooker in sufficient force the day after the Federate got possession of Kellyro Ferry, and thrown a bridge over the river, as Bragg ordered him to, or even on the succeeding day ( Wed nesday), it is possible we might have still remained , Masters of the, situation, es by getting possession of -Lookout Valley the Federals have a fortified post non, and it is almost, if not quite, as strong as Chat tanooga.

From Brown's Ferry to the railroad is only one mile. If not molested; the Federala will, of course, construct the railroad to the ferry, reducing the distance of hauling. supplies from sixty miles to two. "This new move on the military chess-board, by which the Federals got ponession of Lookout Val ley and the railroad to Bridgeport, was a masterly stroke. The conception was brilliant, executed admirably, and the combination faultless. Every thing slipped from us so easily, or was taken so: adroitly, we hardly knew when it was done. This operation has changed the whole aspect. There is no longer say doubt of the Federal commander's ability to obtain supplies this winter, unless speedi ly, overcome. To do this we shall have to -fight another battle, and overcome physical difficulties of a serious character.

The following paragraph occurs in one of their letters : "The probability of martial law you speak of will make it necessary for us to again overhaul our correspondence.

[Warsaw (Oct. 13) correseendence of the London Timeel At the theatre, attended only by Pelesian officers and a few ladies in deep mourning, and the reverse Of sad, the noisy lithe piece which has buzzed all over Europe under the - title of " Orpheus in the In fernal Regions," is played. The Poles call it "Or. pheus in Warsaw," and not even the Sews (or "persona of the old covenant," Or "of the Nnaaie confession," as they &recalled here) go to see it. The classical personage, however, of whom one is chiefly reminded by the present aspect of Warsaw towards evening, is Ilioeenes. All Poles who are out at or after dusk have to carry,lanterns, though they do not, it is true, waste their time in looking among the unilluminatedclass for honest men. At night the city. seems inhabited by a whole popula tion of Guy Pawkeees. fiery person you meet haw the air of a conspirator, and probably there are few of these Polish lantern bearers Who,-if they , foUnd themselves with a few barrels of gunpowder beneath the Russian military chub, which psrforms just now the functions of a- Parliament in Warsaw, would hesitate much about blowirit len.) The convents occupied two or three weeks Rime by the troops are still do the-handa of the military. The buildings, have not been-turned into barracks, but a guard is stationed in each .a nd in each a strict search has been instituted. The Russian journal* state that many important discoveries were made, and it seems to be generallyeadmitted that in one convent a list of names was found: The march in the cemeteries led to nothing except horror and dia. gust on thepart of the Polish population. No graven were dug open, but live vaults wereeither unlocked On broken into, and in the vaults thus violated several coffins were opened, but no arms-discovered: - Since the occupation of the Zamoyekt houses and of the Hotel de l'Europe, two other large houses have been taken peewee sion of by threeoldiera, though, as far as I can learn, they have net yet been el/Linn% eated. In one of these, belonging to Grabowski, twenty barrels of rifles ana a considerable quantity Of ammunition were discovered last Sunday. .Last night Prince Constantine Embomirski was arrested at his house, and taken_ to the citadel. Prince Constantine Lubornireki was formerly a ge neral in the Russian army, which he quitted in 1830, when the Polish insurrection of that year broke out. He Is now nearly eighty years of age, and it is eaid that he was taken front his house in the middle of the night, not because there was any accusation against him, .but bemuse the Commission of Inquiry attached to the prison of the citadel wanted to ash him Come questions on the following day, and, ac cording to the amiable custom of the place, sent to seize him when it was most likely that he would be found at home. The burning of the Warsaw town hall was not the result of accident. In considering what may have been the motive of this deliberate act of incendiarism, I can only think that it may have been meant as protest against the imposition of the new tax if not with the more direct motive of burning the fists of taxpay - ers. It was at the town hall that the eight per cent. income tax was to be paid, and I-mentioned in a previous letter that from those-who do not pay before the end of the month twelve per cent, will be. required. Some twenty persons, who had already Fettled with the Government on this score, were Publicly warned last week, in a. "proclamation" issued by the "Chief of the. Town." Their names were published, and they themselves summoned to appear before one of the "revolutionary trihunales." It is on this question of the eight per cent, income tax for war purpoees that the great contest Is , now takirg place between the National Government and the government of Russia, As I was leaving the neighborhood of the town hail, I noticed a gentleman wearing the "cylinder" halt, of respectability, engaged in an animated dis cussion with a Cossack, who wore the Circassian cap of the Rouban. "I was brought here by one of your own officers," maid the proprietor of the eylinderhat. "Then," replied the Cossack, "it was his duty to take you to the house you weregoing to, put you in side, and shut the door after you. Our orders are not to allow civil people to walk about here." "But," pursued the cylinder wearer, "I have a big hat ; you ought not-to mind me." "There are very big hats worn by very-big func tionaries," continued the disciplinarian of the Rom. ban ; "but I should ling them as civil persons just the seine if [caught them here now." "Well, what are you going to do with met" in. :mired the gentleman finally, to , : whom neither the cylinder bat nor the recent companionship.of a Rus sian officer was any guarantee of-safety. "Why, I shall flog you. that's all," . said the stern but not precisely eavageCossisk, When suddenly the intervention of a second eylinder_hat, to-whom I have reason to believe - the hero of the Kotibare. was under some slight peouniaryobligations, brought the discussion to a satisfactory conclusion. To- complete my budget of Warsaw news, I must add the common place intelligence that since I last wrote two men on the national 'aide have beens hanged and three on the Russian side murdered- or stabbed almost to death. The hanging was done on Monday. One of the - men was a " national gen . darme," in other words, an assassin at the corn mend of the secret government, which, if it does not - mend its ways, the honest men of Poland will have to disavow, as one of the -noblest among them dia. avowed it almost publicly some months ago. - The second man hanged was a clerk in the post office, and had been found guilty of having tram. nutted correspondence for the national government, which nearly every man who has ever got a friend to take charge of a letter from Warsaw to Cracow or irom Cracow to Warsaw has done: The offence of the post office clerk executed last - -Monday was of course greatly aggravated by the fact that-he was in the government service. The Russian Government in its notices of punish. ments to be inflicted does not go lower than capital. ones. It must draw the line soniewhere, and in an nouncing the coming execibtion of the said post office clerk, publishes . the following- description of hie crime : - - . Stanislas Swiczynski, clerk in the post office, has been found guilty of high treasonjby court•martial i , and by his own confession, of having been connected with the revolutionary organization, known as the National Government, and of having accepted an appointment as agent to the said organization, and of having made use of hid position in the post office to forward parcels and messages to the insurgents, and even warlike implements, and for his activity in furthering the views and objects of the insurrection,.

The colonel, who is one of those officers al wayrfound in advance of his regiment, held a digbr• ent opinion from his horse;.so he called Sam, the negro servant, to take the'animalbick and bring the " Morgan," that could stand fire. Sam, who was in sympathy with the disgraced charger, gladly obeyed, but on his way back with the Morgan, a shell dropped in the field right before hiniand burst, send ing the mud • and stones in every direction. This was too much tor Sam, and he broke for the rear. not to be seen again for several days. 'One of the officers. finding him, not wholly recovered from his fear, et this time, of his irate master, said : " Why don't you go back to the colonel! He woe angry, but you may return; you know, he was always friendly to you."' " Dat ar am all berry true," replied Sam, with an inimitable expression of countenance and a signifi cant gesture of, the;hand, "de colonel and.
