There has been a great Union meeting at Huntsville, Alabama, "at which some of the wannest Union sentiments were uttered that have been developed in the South dur ing the progress of the war, and where some fresh rays of intelligence have been allowed to light up the atrocity of the rebellion. Ex- Senator Clemens aßdJadge Ha™ have given their hold and candid opinions respecting slavery. It will be remembered that the deliberations and actions of the meet inn were those of Alabamians. The object of the meeting, as stated, was the restoration of the Government, the obtaining of peace. To the large concourse which gave the .auction of its presence, Ex-Senator Cle mens rehearsed the history of Alabama’s share in secession ordinances. ‘ ‘ Falsehood, corruption, and frand,” said he, “took us out of the Union.” But the true spirit which marked the meeting will be better under stood when it is borne in mind that the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: _ . "Resolved, That we believe that the effort to do •troy the old Governmant and erect a separate int* ticoilitv has proved the ruin oi the rights aud Uher tie» of the people. We, therefore, call upon the Governor of the State of Alabama to convene the that It may call a Caventlon, la older «h.t it iD«t niovlde aome mode tor the restoration of peace and the light* and liberties of the people. ‘ KewlDei, That the longer the war ha* continued, the mote imminent have become the danger* to the Jibeitle* of the people. We, therefore, invite tte citizens of other counties in the t>taxe to unite with u»ln thi* cell upon the Governor, and auggeit the fliat Monday in June a* the time for the holding of that Convention.” As the exponent of the belief of the Ala bamians whom he addressed, Judge H-um pbbey* remarked that “ Alabama should at once rescind the ordinance ot secession, and referred to the assertions of the people of Alabama that their State was wrongfully precipitated out of the Union, and that they are willing to take their stand in the old Union —that Government in which they always found prosperity, and which gave them strength at home and abroad. The reat of his speech is despondent and denun ciatory of secession. But the most remark able and significant paragraph which was delivered is the following from the month of ex-Senator Clemens. Said he, near the close of the meeting: “In 1861. thor!ly after the Confederate Govern ment wa* put in operation, I wa» in the olty of Montgomery- One day I atepped let, the office of the secretary of War, Gen. Walker, and found there creased In a very excited diicuision, Mr. Jet tenon Davlv, Mr. Memmlneer, Mr. Berjamln, Mr. GUcbiist, a member of our Legislature from Lown dea count?, and a number of other prominent gentle men They were dlacuaalng the propriety of imme piatflt opening ftreon Fort Sumpter, to which Gen. Walker, the Secretary of War, appeared to beop noied. Mr. Gilehriat *ald to him: ‘ Sir, unlea* yon sprinkle blood In the face of tnc people of Alabama they will he back in the old Union in lea* than ten day* !’ The next dav Gen. Beauregard opened hi* batteries on Sumpter, and Alabama wa* saved to the Confederacy,” Some lovers of ancient law inform us that the original meaning of the word Alabama is, “ Here we rest.” It would indeed be a blessed event if every Alabamian would re member the significance of the name he beaTS, and rest content with his experience of secession. For this we hope; for this -we pray ; and perhaps this is the not far future event which is thus casting its shadow before. George Thompson in Philadelphia. A letter of invitation has been sent to Hon. George Thompson, who is now in Boston, inviting him to deliver an address in our Academy of Music. This letter is signed by leading gentlemen of this city, whose names in times past have been the very types of Philadelphia conservatism. This is right. These are no times in which to cherish old prejudices. Mr. Thompson, we understand, comes to this country to make it his future residence. He comes from choice and from love of our institu tions. His labors in England in our behalf, since the beginning of the war, in conjunc tion with those of John Bright and Rich abd Cobden, have been of inestimable value. Understanding America thoroughly, from his previous personal visits, he has de fended the Union, the Administration, and the nationality of our country with a power which has everywhere been acknowledged. Distinguished conservative citizens of Bos ton, New York, and Washington have been prompt to render him expressions of their respect. "We are pleased to see that leading citizens are about doing the same thing for Philadelphia. Wendell Phillips, in an address seve ral years ago, said, “You know Baron Munchausen says, in one of his marvellous stories, that it was so cold one day in Rus sia, when he began to play a tune on his trumpet, that half of it froze in the instru ment before it could get out; and a few months afterwards he was startled in Italy to hear, of a sudden, the rest of the tune come pealing forth. We were somewhat, frozen up, a while ago, in this hall, with Geobge Thompson on the platform; now we want the rest of the tune.” That dis tinguished Abolitionist will have full liberty now to say to the whole people what, for merly, he could but utter to a few. The air to which freedom marches has been melted out of its imprisonment in the heat of battle and the fervor of a great people. We took occasion, jesterday, to bring to just odium an unmanly slander of which, the Boston Courier has been the most noto rious means of circulating. This vile false hood originated with the New Hampshire Patriot, and, for a purpose as vile, the Cou rier intimated its belief in the story. Lieu tenant Colonel Liberty Bilxings, late a clergyman and now belonging to the Ist South Carolina Regiment, having been named to give sanction to this monstrous story, that gentleman writes from Brattle boro, Vermont, to the editor of the AvM- Alavery Standard : “If you <Jfem the article in Monday 1 * New York linaid, cn • Six’y-rour Mlnwgenators,’ worthy of. Ticiiit, lit me merely eay that I have never, a* ai’.egtfi, given toy B&nation to its statements, ana protcurce it an atrocious calumny against the lady texctt-i sai Port Eoyal, who are, aa I relieve, noble a. fi opiigfc', b-jth in character and in the work in which ibty are engaged.” Mr. Billing's letter was not necessary to stamp this falsehood. The conscience of loyal men was sufficient. But we may re mark that the most virulent and disgusting rebel slanders of the North were never more abject, mean, and vindictive than this. In respect of all the noble Northern women ■who, with equal charity, have bound up the ■wounds of rebel and loyal, public opinion should brand the wretches who utter slan ders so base, and the faction they claim to represent and lead. Is not the war waged entirely for the benefit of the negro t Not The United States has done little directly for the negro, but in abolishing sla very, has simply fought the rebellion which is slavery. It has shown no generosity to the slave, but has granted him justice. That the war is for the benefit of the colored race is true, but we Imperatively declare that all the good that the black minority will win from the abolition of slavery is eclipsed by the surpassing good to the white majority. Again, if the war were not against slavery it could not he a war, for slavery is the only enemy that we have. Am I not a "better Unionist than you, be cause X am 'willing to -restore the Southern States to their old privileges, to-morrow, even with slavery f No! For you, by recognizing slavery, would re-establish the Union on a disunion basis. You would even do more than par don the criminal; yon would restore the crime. We are the only true Unionists be cause we want to destroy tbe element of disunion, and thus use the waT to obtain permanent peace; a Union without cause of quarrel. * Wi presume that the military authorities know what they are about, and that the recent orders, re ducing the number of the army corps by compressing two or three into one, are aU right. But It would have had, wa think, better effect upon the country uncos the enemy, If the old onrps had been tilled up from the new recruits.— Evening Post. Undoubtedly the military authorities know what they are about. General Grant will be better able to handle the army for these changes, which have evidently had his ap- proval. That they will secure success, we do not assert, but it is certain that they will not cause failure. Responsibility on the battle-field now rests with five men— Gb ant, Meade, Warren, Hancock, and Sedg wick. This is better than its division among a dozen, and there are other practical rea sons for the reorganization. WABHIN GTON. Washington, March 25,1854. Congressional. The statement made in leveral papers that the national texea will generally be ratted one hundred per cent, by Congress, 1* a great exaggeration. The Committee of Way* and Mean* ha* not yet decided what tax to Impose upon petroleum, either etude or refined, but it is probable that it will be about twenty eente on reined. Mr. Bonnes, treasury agent at St. Louis, was be fore the Blair Investigating committee last night, and produeed the original order of General Blais for liquor*, out ol which this dispute ha* grown. General Blair claims that the flgures on the paper* have been changed. Confirmations by the Senate. The Senate to-day, in executive session, confirmed the following nomination*: Major Jambs A.

In addition to the general order rearranging the corps of the Army of the Potomac, and relieving some of the general officers, as already published, we learn that General Flhasonnon has been re* lleved from the command of the cavalry corps, and is to report to General Boseorans; that General Sykes 1s to report to General Cubtib; General Newton Is to report to General Sherman; Gene ra) French 1* <o report at Philadelphia; General Meredith at Cabo; General Sfinola to a court martial; General Caldwell to be relieved to sit on a court martial, and Generals Ricketts, Gibbon, and Wadsworth, to report to General Meade, for assignment to command. Capture of a Noted Guerilla. Colonel Wells, Provost Marshal General at Alexandria, sent out a party of Company D, Ist Michigan Cavalry, dismounted, on Wednesday eve sing, under command of Lieutenant Jackson, in search of guerillas. They went by steamer to Freestone Point, and from thence through the woods, about ten miles, where they captured Captain Hannbqan, a well known guerilla chieftain, and three men, together with six shot-guns, muskets, and rifles, three re volvers, and one horse. They returned safely this morning. . . _ Hanheoan 1* a dangerous man, and has often boasted that he would not be captured alive. Passes and permits from the rebel authorities were found upon him, permitting him to go where he pleased wltbln the enemy's lines. The Prepayment of Interest. Secretary Chase is understood to be making at* rsngements for the issue of gold notes, receivable for duties,which he propose* to pay for interest railing due on the Ist* of April, Ist or May, Ist of July, 19th of August, Ist of October, Ist of Novem ber, 1664, and Ist of January, 1866, with rebate on interest due on and before the Ist of July, and with rebate at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum on Interest due after that date. The aggregate or Interest coming due at these date* l* about *«, 000,000, of which It Is supposed that about $25,000,000 will be anticipated In tbi* way, making a virtual addition of nearly that amount to the stock of gold. The Secretary also ha* under consideration the expedl* eney of reoeiving the National ourrency at rates slightly below the current rates of gold, and of Issu ing therefor Assistant Treasurers’ certificates, re ceivable in the payment of duties.

Excitement at the Brooklyn Opera House. VESTVALI FLYING TO ARMS—A COMBAT BEHIND THE SCENES, There was no performance at the Brooklyn Aca demy of Music last night. The cause was the sud den Indisposition of Madame Veatvall, who ha* lately been playing therein English drama. Whence this unexpected illness! The fact may be explained as follows : It'appear* that on Wednesday evening, during the performance of the 11 Duke’s Motto,” in which Vestvali sustains the part of Henri is Lagardsre, an unpleasant affair occurred behind the scenes. After singing one of the songs incidental to the piece, Vestvali left the stage as usual, but was stopped at the “wings” by a Brooklyn dry goods merchant, who by some means had obtained admis sion behind the scenes. This person, who seems to have a rather low estimate ol players, laid his hand on Vestvali’s shoulder, at the same time making use of an ungentlemanly, if not absolutely vulgar ex pression. Vestvali wa* of ooursß indignant. “Do you know, sir, who I ami” said she. But the only reply was a repetition of the offensive remark. The insulted actreßß, now thoroughly incensed, ■ drew the sword which she wore in her assumed character of Lagariere, and attaoked tne imprudent merchant, who, with a friend standing near, took to night, but was severely cut in several places before he managed to escape by the stage door. Vestvali also attacked the friend—who, by the way, la a New York merchant—hut be got off unhurt. The nervous exoitement wss, however,.too much for the lady, and last night she was unable to play. Merchants and others win learn from this lnoi dent that It Is always cowardly, and sometimes un safe, to insult ladies. We understand that legal proceeding* are threatened on both side*.—New York Post. Taxation In the United States. The London Times ol the 4th Instant contains the following judicious and lair-minded artlole upon our financial condition: The only Bound conclusion on this great question of finance Is one which went length find plainly ad vocated In the Federal press. The war should be prosecuted to a termination, whatever that end may be and the people, in tbe meantime, must consent to be taxed. It is dawniug upon the Americans, at last, that, while they have been astounding Europe, as they believed, by the immensity of their “ resources,” and the unexampled magni tude of their war, they have simply plunged into that abyss of Old World embarrassment from which it wss their proudest boast to be free. They now discern the fact that alncs the year 1861 thev have unheedingly incurred a national debt which will probably equal in its chargee thenational debt of England. If they say that they are capable of sustainingthis debt, they eay no more than the tiuth No doubt tne thirty millions of America can pay taxes as well as the thirty millions of England, and without greater suffering. But then they must convince themselves of tne faot that England and America stand for the future on just the same footing. Tne mistske thev have hitherto made is in supposing that America could do a* England has done, and yet re main as America was. They must adopt our ays tern of Budgets as well as our system of public stocks, and we can tell them that at present they hove made but very little way in the realization of the truth. Their scheme for raising £70,000,000 on fo reign and domestic “luxureis” will never answer. Luxuries will never bear so exoesaive aburden, or yield so exorbitant a contribution. The burden must be more universally distributed, and leas reli ance must be placed on indirect taxation, and espe , ciafly on protective-tariffs, A revenue of £9O 000,000 I is not to be raised without an income tax, and an in ■ come tax levied for the first time on a people said to 1 hetheriehest in the world, ought to produce con siderably more than one- fifteenth part of the whole 1 income required. In short, there is no royal road to '■ ease and comfort in the matter of taxation Thelmposts i necessary lor producing a large revenue cannot be 1 shuffled on to the shoulders of the rich, or juggled into the duties on foreign goods—least of all Into those on foreign “luxuries.” AU classes and all sources must bear their fair share in just Of course, the Americans can aocept tnese conditions if they please. If they mean, indeed, to pay their way accoidtog to their new lights, they must needs do so, nor is it for us to say that they will suffer in anything but pride and privilege by the adoption of tbe process. As we can endure the burden and yet be prosperous, so may they at least as easily s but to do so they must unlearn the ideas they have hitherto enter tained, and teach themselves, as we have done, that debt can only be paid by taxes , and taxes only furnished by the patient submission of all classes alike to the hard, though equitable, exactions of necessity.

The fcenate proceeded to the uitfl&ietad businem of yesterday, tee bill to pierent military interference ttr. BEOOES, of New York, asked that the National Bank bill he postponed till Monday* in order to giro the representatives of theJie * York Clearing House an op portunity to be this measure, so Important to the financial community. , Ur. DAVIS, of Haw York thousht that ouch postpone ment should be granted. , , Ur bTJSVENS said this bill had been before tbe count.y ten days. Gentlemen representing financial interests had all seen it. and soma of them been heard before the Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. SAULbBOKY, of Delaware, said that the Senator from Michigan (Mr. Howard) had said the time was unpropittouo for thepaeeaae of such a bill as this He would commend to him. and otnart who thought like him. the example ofadlsilnmUned British statesman, who. when the rightaof the English subjects were at stake, rose in his place in Parliament and declined to ditouss the question of war so long as private rights were in jeopardy. Under these constant encroachments of power, we shall wake np hereafter and find that the dream that we have been indulging inwaii a delusion. Our conutitutional rights were secured to us not only for t'mes of peace but times of war. Thtse were as rnd deis to the ship,and if abandoned the ship was lost.. Neither is the pretest that toe surrender of these liber ties was temporarily neeessary for their permanent pre servation. What an absurdity- is the idea that the Union can be preserved, by the destruction of the Constitution. In his opin:on those who have talea matters in hand have not the preservation of the Constifcfitioa at hoart. , an* public man aay that he wft* in favor Of the Union as was. and the Constitution as it is. and Whit is the iod*ment passed upon him? Why. that he is a ditlovai man, and unfatthful to the Government under which he lives; and the noblest of all sentiments uttered in this day is at-judged by the very men guilty of perpe trating acts in violation of the Constitution as disloyal. He thought that the only disloyal men and traitors in thie country were those who * coated the Constitution. It was to that Constitution, and that alone, that he owed his all* glance. Had he a right to cherish any lote or attachment to anything «Ibb beside the Union and the Constitution? .Those who advocate a po licy of destruction of these are the real traitors and deserve to be branded as such; yet so enormous have been the abuses patpotrated by this Administration that ihe power that el>s enthroned at tbe other end of the avenue findi it neceisary to send armed forces into a State to prevent a free people from expressing their love for a free Constitution, made by their fathers, and under which they still desire to live. Their only disloyalty arises from the fact of their following in the precepts of thtir fathers. Was he asked to support a new Union under the oa'.h he took? Was he asked to enter the new house built by Butler on the ruina of thb old fabric built by Washington Adams, Jefferson, and Ma dison r His people did sot desire to enter the beauteous palace of Archbishop Butler in spite of the adornment which he picked np in the liulf Department They did not d»- - hire to lot-k into the costly mirrors, nor to hear the streams cf music from stolen Instruments; they prefared the good old »traine which came upfrom the past, which thty have heard In infancy and manhood—the music of tbe Union and the Constitution—and for a declaration of this kind alone have the people of what was once his btate. but now a military province, had the ty rannical hand laid upon them for presuming to vote for tbe Representatives of their choice. Yet the gentleman from Michigan said if these t blare were true they deserved it. Besides, ttey should consider the state of the times, euch a response as that might well come from those who deeire to pickup the crumbs which fall fiom tbe Presidential table. The sole offence of the De mocratic party in his State was their attachment to the Con* motion, and their refusal to vote as the administra tion might dilate You can never conquer the spirits of brave men, though you may keep them from the polls by brute force, and thus deprive them of their rights, because they do not detire tv clash against your armed power. But they will retire to their homes, such of them as may not be provided with prisons, and scorn your power and defy your malice. Suppose the President should be the successful nomime and now in power with tnis army of a million and » half of men, with the power of root ing cut of It every man politically obnoxious to him. Enppoee that after this exercise of power, lie finds the army approves of his acts, as the Senat .r from Michigan does, what was to hinder him from perpetuating his power after eight years’rule, and thus become one of the greatest monarch* and despots that ever sat upon a throne? Suppose the army should become, after five to eight years, his willing instru ments to continue him in permanent power, and hie children after him. what is to prevent it? The people of this country could not prevent it Ha was met here with this answer that the soldiers were too honest and loved their country too much to he gailty of such an act, bnt confidence wr* a plant of slow growth, and in this connection Mr. B&nlabury quoted from Gibbons' “Fall and Decline of ‘ha Roman Em pire, ” bhewlng that 10,1X0 well armed and disciplined men kept in subjection 10.000 000 of unarmed man. If that be true, wbat could a million ana a half of armed men. at the command of the present Executive, or any o her, do in a population of 2u. 0(10,000? He knew that soldiers entered into the contest for the noblest purpose, to preserve the old, and n»t to make a new Union—bnt no man could tell the changes which might come over the minds of men. The power being exer cised, and tbe soldiers being placid under officers havirg a common porppose with the Executive, in the hands of an ambitious man, and one regardless of the rights of the people, there would be no chance for the preservation of our liberties. It was safer for the peop e that a change should take place in four years than that the same person should be continued in order to strengthen himself in power and hare greater opportu nity for the purpoiGß of ambition. , Be raid the Senator from Michigan lays down the broad proposition that these military orders concerning elections are law, and therefore the proclamation of the Governor of Maryland was usurpation of power. Yet, strangely, he complimehts the man who never was the Governor of the Btate of Delaware by the voice of the people but was set over them by the force of the bayonet, because he issued a proclamation for the people to be ob rtqniousjy obedient to the orders of their master. Gen Schenck. If the soil of Maryland had been reddened with blood, as the Senator indicated it might have been, against whom weald the.dead account stand? Not against Gov Bradford- or the citizens, bnt against him who sits enthroned at the other end of the avenue, and your Major Gen. fcchenck, and thoie&BiQci&ted with him. Mr. SAULtsBFKY then proceeded to the matter of mili tary interfei once in the election in his own State, quoting from a volume of three hundred pages of sworn testimony, taken before a committee of the Delaware Legislature. The Governor says that he had no official information ih&t iroopa would be sent into the State at the election of 1£62; yet on the eve of the day of election every village of the State wae filled with soldiery, Taey swarmed at every poll, except one or two, on the day of the eleciion. Where did they come from, and for what purpose? He denied that there had been any trouble in that State demandis g their presence. The only authori ty for executing the laws of the Union was entrn»ted to the Governor, as commander In-chief-except when he teeks the protection of the Federal Government. Yet because that State waa small, and fee ole in numerical numbers, bnt sot In tbe patriotism of her sons, these troops were cent ammgst them. He cited testimony of feayor Gilpin, of Wumli gu.n, and others, who had never be*n Democrats, to show that D had been avowed bef. rehand that, unless force was procured, the btate would go for the Democrats, and provost marshals had commissions, signed by M. Stanton, »nd sent in blank, accompanied with orders, and yet the Secretary of War denies that any orders had been sent direct from bis department He couid not show these orders, bnt the testimony would prove this crime on the Secretary tothe satisfaction of a jury of twelve honest men. The blank commissions, It Is testified by several of the pro vost marshals, who are, of course. Republicans, were filled np on the Sunday p eceding the two days’ election, by George P. Fisher, Rspub.ican candidate for Congress, and now a Judge of the Supreme Court of this District. He wish* d to let the country know that we have a Secre tary of War who sends out b auk commissions on the eve of an election, and allows partisan candidates to fill them up. Alter this, do not taiktohim (Mr. Sanlsbury) about the purity of elections t this was partisanship of the barest kind. It would be scorned by all patriotic and houefitinen. He commented upon the President's IcHtTuctionß to General Steele, in reference to the quali fications of rotors in Arkansas. They were to be per mitted to vote under their State Constitution, 'as modi fied by the President, provided, moreover, they would support hie proclamation. Mighty man! On, what meat 1b this on which our modern Czar reeds that he has 8 Mr. Saul, bury then quoted at length from Plutarch’s life of Pompey and drew a parallel between Cseser and Lincoln. It would be seen that our President was not the first man in the world who has sent soldiers to con trol eleetions. He did not know if the Presideut bad read Plutarch, though he understood he was well versed is Sbaktpeare and considered the passage, *‘Oh, my offence in rack !” as oae of the bent Cl aughter ] Be held »hat there was a fixed purpose, and everything is being done to perpetuate the power of the President for four years, and if this attempt was unrebuked by the people by their votes, this President with his army will defy tie American people after the next lour yea* b shall haveexplrtd. . ~ m If he i oes not do bo he will be an extraordinary man. He appealed from Cfeearto the Senate, and invoked It by that love of constitutional liberty which animated our fathers; by that love of civil liberty which caused the efiusion of such precious blood Id the Revolution, to save us from the impending military despotism. Tl e senate agreed to the report of the committee on the West Point Academy bill, and then adjourned till Mon day. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Hr. WABHBTJBISE, of Illinois, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill punUhing frauo s in tne change of names of vessels, and caused to be read a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, who says tne laws are in adequate for that purpose, and that worthless hulks are repainted, thither to be sold or sent on. voy - ges under new nimes, to tne danger of property and the lives of passengers. While the old names are left oa the stern, new ones are painted on the wheel-house f->r purposes of deception, hence the necessity for farther legislation. The bill provides that, in addition to the mama, ae now r<cinired to be painted on the stern the name of the at i bull bepainTsd on the outside of the pilot house, or outsideof thewhei»l-hou«e in letter* not lees tban ns inches high. If any owner or agent of a steam boat sbaii not comply with this requisition, he shall be subjected to the s&m6*penaltiea and forfeitures as are now provided for a failure to paiut the name and the place to which it belongs on the stern.

Ur. WA6BBURNB replied that there was compara tively few passengers on sailing vessels, but if such pro* vibion shall prove necessary it could be made in another bill. Th« bill was passed. The Public Lands, _ Mr CLAY, of Kentucky, from the Committee on Agri culture, reported back the Senate bill extending the time in which to accept lands heretofore donated for egricnltmal college purposes, and including West Vir ginia in its provisions. ' _ , Mr"HOLMAN, nf ifidiasa, offered an amendment au thorising Indiana to appropriate its share or the lands for the education of orphan children of soldiers and B *M? r TVABHBURNB moved that Illinois be also simi larly* authorized, and Mr. WINDOM asked that Minne sota be allowed to act in the same way. Mr MOBBELL. of Vetmont. opposed all such proposi tions The lands might 1 1 devoted to deaf, dumb, and blind* asylums, and thus the design of the law for agri cultural colleges in the fctates be fritted away. Mr. HoLMaN did not see how the gentleman could judge what was best for Indiana. , , J Mr- STEVENS said the donation of the lauds was for national purposes; national property beuig appropriated to ettibiish education in the several States, fehezefore ;hey should not countenance the diversion of the lands for other objects. . ... . ~ Purth er consideration of the subject was postponed for **lt was agreed that, after to-morrow, Saturdays should be devoted to public business, instead of merely to speech-making, aid tfaat two weeks from to-day the Dis trict of Columbia business shall be considered.

When about abandoning all hope mvtelf of ever getting well, I wae Induced, through the recommendation of Mr, L. O. Shultz, of York, Clark oounty, 111., and who can veriry thete facts, to try Dr. Jayne’s Expectorant, after using which for three months I was entirely cured, and am now aB well as ever I was in my life, and fully able to perform my usual avoeiftions. OooasionaUy I used, in connection with the Expectorant, the Alte rative and Sanative Pfflc, ac the symptoms ceemedto require; and I am to fully satisfied that it ic to your preparation that I am indebted for my restoration to healtb that I grant you full liberty to give my ease publicity, in the hope that other# now# fferlng from disease similar to mine may derive benefit from my experience. IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT BELIEF. Mia. J. B. Fisher, ol St. JohntvlUe, Montgomery county, N. X., writes: “ My little daughter, aged ten years, hat always been subject to cold, producing oroup, eongestion, In flammation of the lunge, or a aevere protracted eough. Your Expeotorant ie the only medicine that ever gave her immediate and permanent relief. J have tried other lung remedies, but they proved use less, and a resort to your Expeotorant was the only means of cure.” “ completely cured my cold,” Bev. B. F. HEDDENTPastor of the First Baptist Church, Camden, N. J., writes: “ A few weeke since, while differing from a very t cvere cold, I became so hoarse that it was with great difficulty I could speak so as to be understood. While In thie oondl lon your Expeotorant not only gave me immediate relief, but in three or four days completely cured my cold, and removed my hoareo nets. I therefore take pleasure In recommending the Expectorant as being, in my judgment, the best cough medicine before the public.” " hoarse, hollow ooush,” Kev. Nelson Cook, of Bergen, N. J., writes: “A young man living in my houße waa taken with a violent cold, which settled upon his longs, causing a hoarae, hollow cough, accompanied by a burning fever. This continued for more than two weeks, when I commenced giving your Expeotorant and Fills; according to directions, muoh against the will of some of my neighbors. In the course of two or three day she began to improve, and in two weeks was about, and was soon well.” Mr. Andrew Gowadldok, of Bayfield, C. W., writes: Jatnr’s Expeetorant has effectually cured me of a violent attack of inflammation of the lungs.” A VIOLENT COUGH OP LONG CONTINUANCE. Mr. Alfred A. Ford, of Milton, Nova Scotia, writeß: “ During the winter of 1860-’6l, I contracted a vio lent oougb, which, from itg long continuance, wai thought by many of my friends to indioate consump tion. While in this condition I obtained, through the persuasion of Mrs. D. O. Gaskill, of-this plaoe, a bottle of your Expectorant, and having taken the same Recording to your direotlons, I waa soon great ly relieved, and eventually cured, and my health has been excellent ever since. From my own experlenoe, therefore, I cheerfully recommend it to all sufferers from Pulmonary Consumption.” SPITTING OP BLOOD, WITH HBOTIO PEVBB? Rev. A. Wibeso, writing from Wittengen, Hanover, says: Shortly before Christmas last I gave two bottles of your Expectorant to a man that was troubled with a very obstinate oougb, accompanied by spit. ting blood and hectic fever, from the combined effect of which he was becoming rapidly reduced. He had, in compliance with the advice of a physician in his neighborhood, tried various medicines without re lief, and was not inclined to look with any favor on the Expeetorant. However, having persuaded him to tske the two bottles home with him, I was much pleased to hear, after the lapse of a week or ten days, that my friend had entirely recovered, and I have since received a viiit from him, daring which he •poke emphatically in praise of the Expeotorant, and returned his thanks for my exertions in oauelng him to give it a trial. SAVBD ONB LIB'S AT LBABT. Mr. A. D. Lioey, of River Styx, Ohio, writes: “I have a little girl subject to Croup, and being afraid to depend on the ordinary remedies, have em> ployed a physician for her. Laet night, Deo. 27, 1863, she was taken worse than usual. The doctor had been called out of town; something had to be done at onee, or the,child lost. I gave five teaspoons ful of the Expectorant, and applied flannel cloths, well saturated with your Liniment, to her neck and bi4>t, and in half an hour relief was obtained. This morning the child is quite easy, and will re cover ; and if you could but hear the praises given your remedies by my wife, yoa would certainly fee; that the Expectorant has saved one life at least.” Dr. D. Jayne’s Expectorant is prepared only at No. 242 Chestnut street. mh2i th>2t To Speculators. —Attention is ealled to the ad vertisement, in today's paper, of the sale by the sheriff of the valuable Iron Foundry, As., known as “the Oolebfookdale Iron Works,” near Potts town, Montgomery county, property ol William W, Weaver.
