AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
Comoro and Peterwardein still hold out
the limner commanded by Klapka, the
latter by Kiel. The Russian General
Berg had a long interview with Kiel on
the 23d ultimo, which resulted in sending
Kiel to Gen. llaynau, to arrange terms of
capitulation. The impregnable position
of Comoro induces Klapka to demand
good conditions.
A latter from Vienna of the 31st ultimo
states that several Magyar chiefs had been
executed, among them an Austrian ex-Min
ister. One General was hung and anoth
er shot. Kossuth's mother and children,

The German question is settled. A
Directory established fur a confederation,

common interests of all Germany. The
Presidency will be vested alternately id
Austria and Prussia. The Austrian Gov-
ernment is endeavoring to persuade the
Arch-Duke John to resign his Vicarship

I.F.TTXR OF liO4BIITII TO UM
The following letter, written:, by . KCW
auth at Teregovs, and addressed to Hem, ,
cannot fail to command universal interest:
Tarazoova, Aug. 14, 1849.-1 care lit
tle for my personal safety. I ant weary
of life; for I see how the fabric of my
fathrerland, and with it the shriue of Euro
pean Freedom, not by our enemies, but
by our own brothers, has been ruined.—
It is not, therefore, the cowardly love of
life which has determined my departure,
but ray conviction that my presence has
become a source of harm to my country.
Gen. :Guyon writes to us that the united
army at Temesvar is on. a point of com
plete disulution. You, yourself; general,
are not in condition to light ; Gorgey at
the head of the army which, according to
this statement, was in existence, has de

true to his country. and resigned my place

Desewffy Kmety declared to me that this
:army would fight no more, but disperse at
the first eaunou-shot. I found a total want
or provisions, which were only procured
by exactions—a miserable means, which
turns the whole people against us. The
;Bank has been conveyed to Mad, and is
therefore in Gorgey's possession. Ilettee
agived at the conclusino, ilia: if Gor

indeed, be maintained in the country of

You see, therefore, General, it is a mat-

A.CAGE IN POINT,
It has been .earterted that Captain Can
pettier had no right, according to the cour
tesy of wines, to demand salving* from
the French- vessel he autxteded in saving,
and from which demand arose the insolent
correspondence of M. Poussin. We have
ease in point to show that England, at
least, does it; and the following are the
particulars.
In May hart, the American ship Her
odes, Capt. Madigan, now lying at this
port, was, during very thick weather. dri
ven on a sand bank. called Cabrita Point,
a few miles west of Gibraltar. Capt.
AL rent a fishing boat into Gibralter,
wilt leder to the American Consul, that
relief slauld-be afforded Mtn& The Con
sul, on receipt of the letter, sent out the
English war steamer Janus. Capt. Pow
ell. to her assistance, and that vessel by a
single tug, succeed to drawing the Her
cules into deep water. On arriving at
Gibraltar. the H. was examined, and
found le brae sustained no damage what
ever., To the great surprise of Capt. M.,
the English tinntnander snide a demand
for salvage tethe amount of one-fourth to
onit.thirdef the vessel and cargo, which,
not deeming it just, he refused to pay.
A long and somewhat angry correspon
dence passed between the Governor of
Gibraltar and the other parties concern
ed, and Capt. M. wasgiven to understand
that if he attempted to leave the port with
out paying the SUM demanded, he would
be fired into and sunk. It was added in
defence of the claim, that the British Gov
ernment had enjoined on its officers, eve
rywhere, to demand and enforce the pay
ment of salvage. seeing how matters
stood, Capt. M. made the best terms pos
sible, and in consideration of the trifling
difficulty experienced in getting the Her
cules off and bringing her into. Gibraltar.
succeeded in compromising he claim by
paying the sum of .e 260 sterling. lie
sailed from Gibraltar without having any
repairs made, and none were required..
This is a case by which the attempted
charge against Capt. Carpenter is met and
overthrown. Capt. M. has all the papers
and correspondence in his possession at
this time.
ARRIVAL OF TUE AMERICA.
ONE IVEEK LATER FROM EUROPA'.
The steamer America arrived at Halifax on
Tuesday morning bringing one week's later in
telligence from Europe. Nothing of importance,
however, has transpired since the departure of the
Camtria. The only item possessing any interest
is a letter said to haver been written by the Presi
dent of France, to his friend Hey. and published
in the French papers. The following is as oz.
tract :
The French Republic has not sent an army
to Itonie to put down Italian liberty, but, on the
contrary, to regulate it, by preserving it against
its own excesses, and to gave it a solid basis by
replacing on the Pontifical throne the Prince who
that had boldly taken the lead in all useful le
forms. 1 learn with pain that the benevolent in
tentions of the Holy Father, as well as our own
actions, remain sterile in the presence of hostile
passions and influences. The desire of most
persons appears to be to make proscription and
tyranny the Lash, of the Pope's return. Say to
Gen Rostolan, :roan me, from me, that he is not
o permit, under the shadow of the tri-colored
flag, any act to be committed which can lower
the character of our ILI tervention."
Gen. Rawdon has been appointed to the com
mand of the army of Italy,with instructions to car
ry out with vigor the line of conduct specified in
the President's letter.
The celebrated Garibaldi had arrived in Rome
—having reached there in en open fishing boat
accompanied by a single volunteer. Ilia appear
ance erected considerable sensation.
Thus is nothing at all of the slightest impor
tance from Hungary, except the fact that Co-
morn and Peterwardein have not yet surrendered.
There is no news of Kossuth.

gan of Gen. Taylor's Administration at Waihing

ding to the importance of the elections in Pennsyl

and emphatic language:

it must be. We can have nu change.—

its Giends and supporters in those States,

Whig Meeting in Philabelphin,

Philsdclphta was held in Independence Square ,
on Monday evening hut. It is said to have been
one of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings
ever assembled in the city. Long before the hour
appointed foe the meeting ( 1 •71 the Nom) the
people came pouridt in, and so gnat was the
crowd that the proceedings were commenced near•
ly half an hour previous to the regular time.—
Ample pmperation had been made. Lampe were

We annex a sketch af Gov. Johnston's speech.
which we copy from the North American
GOVZIISOR JOINITON, was then intro
duced by the President, and the whole le
eembhege seemed wised with excitement,
and we have rarely witnessed so cordial a
welcome, so generous and unreserved an
outpouring of feeling. Returning thanks
briefly for the favor sad kindness done him,
he said be did not know how it was—but
he could assert it as a lect—that he had
pined the eontdefiee 'ors large body of
the people of the city and county of Phil
adelphia, and through that confidence, a
large majority at the polls. He did not
know why it was, for he was personally
unknown, and when he came among them
a year ago, it was with no special claim
upon their regard. True, he had endeav
ored to serve the people faithfully as a
representative from his District in the Leg
islature, hut he never was a representative
of partizan views, but always the earnest
and faithful supporter of such measures as
were calculated to bring the greatest good
to the greatest number. When the ques
tion was presented to him, he advocated the
bill for fostering universal education in the
belief that it was wise and salutary--and
because he felt in his o#n heart the want
of the advantages of early education. He
wished to bring the Common schoo •
to every roan's door. He felt, also, that he
was right in giving a hearty and zealous
support to instituhous tor the alleviation of
misery and the - correction of error, and he
sustained by his vote the institutions of
benevolence and learning in this city, be.
cause he believed that its citizens were do.
ing credit to therbselves and justice to the
unfortunate. He advocated a system of
internal improvements, because he was as.l
sured it would aid in developing the rich
internal resources of the State, to the ad
vantage and prosperity of the people et
large, and pour their fruits into this great
city, where of right they should come.—
In all his legislative.canier.he , hadqlonemo
act he was out bound to do by a sense of
justice to the people of the State.
Ile came here about a year ago, and
found the people disposed to cherish him.
Perhaps that arose from the fact, that he
presented himself in an unusual manner--
that lie entered upon a novel mode of con
ducting the collies'. It was insinuated
that it war wrong--that it was indelicate
to present himself before the people and
personally solicit offiee—but lie felt that
our government was based on different
principles, and that he who would seek
preferment at the bands of the people.
should come before, them and state his
opinions, If they approved them, he had
a right to ask their Totes, but if not, his
duty was submission to their will. (Great
applause.)
During the previous year he had traver
ed the extent of the State, and in the course
of his tour be madeno promises. He re
ferred all who listened to him to the his
tory of the past, and told them that if they
placed the mantle of Governor upon his
shoulders he would. to the best of his abil
ity. strive to bring back the institutions o
the State to the broad and simple basis up
on which they were originally placed.
He assured them that under no other cir
cumstancea would he presume to exercise
his solitary vote against their voice and
will, and his endeavor should be to relieve
the hoiden ol taxation by paying the pub
lid debt, and reducing the onerous and un
wise expenditures of the government. He
wu in favor of the Ten Hour Law. be
cause he wished the operative to enjoy the
opportunities of leisure, and to be able to
fat himself for the Mtelligent discharge of
his duties as a citizen. These were his
declaration. a year age, and he would ask
if they had not all been faithfully carried
He had not come there to give support
to partizan action. His object was to give
aid and countenance to the uniformed
volunteer system.
The old law was
wrong. It was s mockery in Itself, and a
burden upon the treasury of the State.—
He felt sore that the new law would be a
beneficial one, mod that it was his duty to
attend every military meeting, while. by
so doiNg, he did not interfere with more
himortant official duties. It was that
which brought him into this section of the
State.
But there were certain things which
might be talked about without being
charged with an attempt to influence par.
tizan politica. Of these was •the duty
which men owe to themselves and to their
country. According to his mode of rea
soning, and his convictions, every man
was bound to cast his ballot whenever he
was offered the opportunity. He who
does n o t, does a wrong to the country.—
It is an omission which suffers opponents
to prostrate what in his opinion is right.
In a government based on the popular will,
any one who refuses to discharge the du
ties such a government imposes on him,
is guilty of a 'gross wrong, which can
scarcely be calculated. Our country can
not be subverted by brute force, but the o-
mission to vote offers an opportunity which
some day or other will be taken advan
tage of by demagogues, to ruin the beauti
ful fabric we have raised. We have rea-
son to be proud of our institutions, he said,
and with great force and beauty of thought,
he .urged that our institutions should be
kept pure, because it was to them the lov-
ere of liberty in all lands turned for en.
couragement to their hopes. lle alluded
to Rome, suicken down by the fratricidal
hand of France, and Hungary fallen in her
struggle for religion, liberty and fatherland,
but ho added, that if the spirit of liberty
war hushed there now, it was only stilled
or a time, and if our light continued to
burn as a bright star toward which they
could look, it would reinstate (reedDu) DA
her throne,
Passing to the subject of protection, he
argued it strongly, and being requested by
some one in the crowd to givo his opinion
of Mr. Fuller, the Whig candidate for Ca
nal Commissioner, he said he knew him
well—that several years of intercourse had
satisfied him of his capacity, honesty, and
purity of character; , and that in his bands
the interests of the State would not only
be safe, but be promoted. He had the ca
pacity to do good, and he knew he would,
simply because he was fair and honest.
To the Freemen of .repnsylumht.
'ln view of the approaching contest be
tween the friends &WAe opponents of
the present State Administration, and the
policy recommended and pursued respec
tively by thew in reference to the affairs
of the Dommilnwealth..the Whig Stale
Centrcil Coalmines invite attention to the
following statement of
FACTS FOR THE PE 3PLE.
It is a fact, that the Locofoco party for
a' number of years, have had the entire
control of the administration of the State
government. of the finances of the State,
and of the public improvements.
It is a fact. that during this period the
interest on the State debt was paid is de
preciated paper; the credit of the State
was prostrated; the stocks of the Com..
monwealth were greatly below par value;
the revenues were insufficient to pay the
interest of the debt and maintain the pub
lic works.
It is a fart, that large amounts of mon
ey were frequently borrowed to pay the
semi -minuet interest, and that a floating
debt, along the line of our public works,
of six hundred thousand dollars had an
cumulated for years, and remained un
paid.
It is a fact, that laborers, material men,
and men who had sustuineddainzge along
the improvements—men who could not be
denied their honest claims without sorely
feeling the loss—men whose famishing
families were crying to them for bread,
had remained unpaid for years, and their
petitions for relief had been disregarded.
It is a fact, that the people, while they
paid into the Treasury the taxes deemed
necessary to the support of public credit,
were fearfully discouraged at the prospect
before them,--heavy burthens, crippled
and insufficient resources, and domestic
debts unpaid,—and they despaired of see
'egr in their day and generation, any
change for the better.
It us a fact, that the party then in pow
er made no attempts to reduce the bur
then, of the people, by the only available
mode, the payment of the public debt, and
the citizens could see in the future no re
lief from taxation.
It is a fact, that those laborers and mate
rial men upon the public works, who
were fortunate enough to receive from the
Locofoco superintendents the reward of
their toil, were paid in wiiithleil
—torn, defaced, and depreciated in value
—notes which were kept in circulation
against the terms of their original issue,
which required shier redemptiou years
ago.
It is a fact, that so soon as the Whig
Administration came into power, the Lo
coloco party, from one end of the State to
the other, commenced an unprincipled
outcry against it, because it did not pay
the debts along the line of internal improve
ments, and because the poor laborers re
mained unrewarded,—debts which that
party had contracted and concealed.—la
borers who bad suffered the pangs of want
for debts due them for months, Knot years,
under Locofoco administration.
These are facts which the records of
the State and the experience of the people
will fully sustain. Look on the reverse
of the picture—for there is a second chap
ter of facts to follow :
It is a fact, that the Whig Governor,
William F. Johnston, was inaugurated in
the month ofJanuary last, having received
the largest vote ever pulled in the State.of
Pennsylvania, and that since then, he has
had the administration of the Executive
branch of the government under his con
trol.
It is a fact, that before. as well as since,
his inauguration, the public press of the
locoroco party have assailed him. his recom
mendations, and his public acts, with a fe
rocity which contemned public sentiment,
disregarded the expression of the public
will, and which, defying truth and shame,
denounced his administration as ruinous
to the interests of the people.
It is a fact. nevertheless, that under his
administration of public eka, within the
short period of nine months, the interest
on the public debt has been paid in a
sound, convertible currency, without bor
rowing, and without the cost of a cent in
exchanges, thereby saving to the people
thousands of dollars.
It is a fact, that, within this period, the
floating debt of six hundred thousand dol
lars, created by the Locofoco party, and
by them suffered to accumulate fur years,
has been principally paid. and resources
are in the Treasury to meet every dollar
of the debt which has been brought to the
notice of the Whig administration.
It is a fact, that the workmen, material
men and men who have sustained dam
age along the lines of the Canals and Rail
roads in the State, have either been paid, or
the payments have been delayed by su
perintendent on the said work.
It is a fact, that of those torn. defaced
and depreciated notes, with which Loco
forme paid the laborers on the public
works, 11337,937 00,—being nearly two
thirds of the whole,—have been with
drawn from circulation, and their places
supplied with a sound and safe currency.
It is a fact, that one hundred and thir
teen thousand five hundred dollars of the
funded debt have been paid, and one hun
dred thousand dollars more will be paid
before the first day of February next ; and
that a sinking fund has been established,
which, under proper management and .the
continuance of the judicious system pur
sued by the existing administration, will
secure the payment of ten millions of dol
lars of the said debt—or one-fourth of the
entire debt of the Commonwealty—within
,the next six years.
It is a fact, that after every known
claim which can be legally made upon the
Treasury shall have been paid, (except
the funded debt of the commonwealth) In
cluding the interest payable on the first of
February next, there will remain in the
Treasury an unappropriated balance of
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
which may with propriety and justice be
directed towards the completion of the
Word) Branch Canal.
It is 4 fact, that during the next year,
the revenues of the State will meet every
ordinary expenditure : will pay of the
public debt from three to five hundred
thousand dollars. 4nd will leave en unap
propriated balaoco of five hundred thous- ,
and dollars in the Treasury, to be dire a
cted
towards the completion of the North
Branch Canal.
It is a fact, that the credit of the State
has been restored,—her stock bare risen
in value,—the 'people have become encour
aged, and the future is full of confident
hope and rational expectation.
And finally, it is a fact, that all this hap
py state of things, so different from what
has been heretofore known in Pennsylva
nia, has been brought about during the brief
period when the interests of the State have
been intrusted to the hands of a Whig ad
ministration.

PENNSYLVANIA REFORM POLICY.—
The Harthaints Tabgraph allows the Sub of the
gleam (darn. Johnston, and the overthrow of
the political dynasty, which had so long misruled
mar State. Since his election the Public WOrb
have only been kept in excellent repair, but
more than a million of dollars have been ex.
pended in paying elddebts, contracted by the Dem
ocrats years ago; the aqit'of the Stele has been
entirely redeemed by tfyment of the Public
Debt in specie ; upward. of two hundred thous.
and dollars has been invested in a Sinking Fund
for the gradual and ultimate reduction of the
whole debt, and there is now a balance In the
Treasury of $184,000 applicable to thecomple
tion of the North Branch Canal. The Sinking
Fund has been denounced by the opposition as •
bugbear; but by ha agency $113,800 of State
Stock has been purchased at an amount of $13,-
488 below its par, and this saves $13874 annually
to the State interest. Thus simple facts speak
volumes! Taxpayers, can you any longer doubt

EETThe Germantown Telegraph, a strict neutral
in politics, alludes to the payment of the August
interest upon the State debt, in gold and silver ,
and thus pays a disinterested compliment to the
State Treasurer and Administration :
No circumstance that has taken place
in the official concerns of our good old
Commonwealth for many years, conveys
a more unmistakeable meaning, or could
be more gratifying to every high minded
citizen, than the recent redemption of the
State Faith as evinced in the payment, on
the first instant, of the Interest upon the
State Debt in gold and silver, or iu funds
equivalent to gold and silver. We care
not to whom may be ascribed the credit of
t ils great consummation—to what Ad
ministration—the act and the result are the
same. 'chat it places us—so lung under
a cloud—in the brightest sunshine of a re
deemed faith and a regenerated prosperity
—all must see and admit, of whatever par
tizan faith he may be, and rejoice that it
is so. We repeat that it is of no conse
quence to us who have been the most in.
etrutnental in affecting this ;—it is auffi•
dent to know that it is done—that the fi
nancial credit of the State of Pennsylvania
has been re-established, and we trust upon
a basis which no future acts will ever en
danger.
RIOT IN ARKANSAS—lntelligence has
been received from Arkansas stating that quite ■
serious riot had taken place near Yellowville, be.
tween the Sheriff and his posse and a gang of
desperadoes who infest that part of the country.—
From what woman learn, it appears that the sher
iff attempted to arrest some of the gang who were
charged with murder and other crimes, when they
made a stout resistance. During the, fight which
ensued eight persons were killed, and several
others w 'muted. From the last accounts it would
seem that a large part of the gang had fortified
temselves, and expressed a determination to resist
the civil authorities to the last.
THE FRENCH DIFFICULTY.—We learn
from Washington, that through the friendly in
terposition of Mr. Cratfipton, British Charge d'
Affairs, conciliatory propositions have been sub
mitted by M. Puusain, the ejected minister, to our
government. Through the Secretary of State,
the subject was referred to President Taylor, who
firmly adhered to the course which had been
adopted, and expressed himself to the a ffeet that,
although no unfriendly personal feelings were en
tertained by himself or the members of his Cabi
net towanls M. Poussin, wader use eirearnstanees
could that gendeman resume the functions of his
office, until advice. were received from France.
AMERICAN ' A RT—UNION.—We observe

glad to see this Bulletin enlarged and taking •

that might be secured for it, would materially aid

Commonwealth The motion for • new

•
Frederick Smith. August Sessions, in this
case, being called up, the reasons for such tried
were over-ruled by the Court and a new trial re
fused. The Court then proceeded to paw santeuee
upon the prisoner—be replying to the inquiry oldie
Court that ho bad nothing to say. His Honor
Junes Doaaxs remarked upon the aggravated
character of the offence and the cruel circumstan
ces connected with the commission of the bloody
deed—upon the fact that the prisoner entered the
quiet home of the deceased under professions of
friendship, while, at the same moment, he was
meditating the murder of his friend, whose death
he hut determined upon Irom•mercenary motives.
His Honor spoke at some length of the fair, pa
tient and satisfactory trial which had been secured.
to the prisonor, dwelling particularly upon the
earnest and able manner in which ilia counsel for
the defence had discharged thJir duties.. Without
fee or reward. his counsel had labored untiringly
for the unfortunate accused. With tine fidelity
they had acted • noble and praiseworthy. part—
they had dune their wrote duty and nothing but
their duty. There had been no uncalledfur or
improper delay. The Court sanctioned, and
highly approved all the effort* of the cowed in
the caw. Referring to the reasons filedinoupport
of the motion Inc a new trial, it 1800 remarked
that, although on reflection they were overruled
by the Court as not sufficient to sustain the mo
trou, they presented questions worthy of the con
sideratiou of the Court—were plausible--and it
was the bounden duty of the counsel of the prison
er to bring them before the Court and ask and ob.
tank its decision upon them, They would not
have discharged their whole duty, if they bad nut
done so. Their duty to the prisoner, to the Court,
to thou consciences and to the community, requi
red them to do every thing they dol, do; and
ably had they discharged it.
alio Honor spoke feelingly to the prisoner of the
' , ormolu of the time that would yet be allowed
him upon earth—warned hint that when next he
entered the prison doors, he would never mein
pas. out of them in life—that he looked upon the
glorious sun for the last time, except through the
grated window of his cell— exhorted Win to pre
pare for rendering his account to that Great Judge
before whom he must so soon appear--and point
ing him to the infinite mercy of the Redeemer, in
voked for him the aid and counsel of the pious and
and good—and concluded by assuring him that
there could be no hope of pardon from the Elmo
the, or the staying of the hand of the execu
tioner, by which he must inevitably die upon the
gallows (ikaless be should providentially be re
moved before the day that would be appointed by
the Executive for his, execution.)
The prisoner being a German, (although be un
derstood the English language,) was briefly ad
dressed by Judge Bursas in German, who ad
monished him that his time wee short, and it be
came him to prepare for death, to repent, to avai
himself of the instructions of the godly—recom
mending him specially to communicate with Revs.
Dr. tionstreasa and Mr. K Sum the ham
of whom he had once received Lam Commu
nion. Judge Smyser also assured bile that no
perdo or respite would be granted him on earth.
He then urged him to trust in the promotes of the
the Saviour of mankind, advising him that even
the thief upon the crow obtained fever and pardon
from a merciful God.
When Judge Bmyser had concluded, the prison
er ewe asked by the Court If be hid any thing to
say, why the aanterrce of the law *boold not be
passed upon him. He replied, nothing. Its
Honor Judge bonnie then proceeded to part
eentenm upon the prisoner, which was done as
follows :
"The Court adjudge and order that you, Fan-
ZWICK BNJTM, be taken to the jail of Adams
County Prom whence you came, and from thence
to the place of execution, and that you there be
banged by the neck until you be deed." ♦nd
may God have merry upon your poor soul.
The unfortunate man was retaken to his gloomy
prison. The Governor issues the death warrant,,,
and fixes the day of execution.

The WHY'S k WHEREFORE'S.
THESE are the times in which men
look for the doings of the world and
general inforinstipn, to the Press, which
is, by the by, - ,theltrue path-finder for bus
iness men, as well as those who wish to
make every Penny count most for them
selves. This being the order of the day,
the undersigned wishes to keep with the
current, and at the same time give the
reader a gbod hint "which path to travel
to make his money count most. A few
good reasons will satisfy the reader at once ,
why it is that therendersigned will and an
sell any gentleman! a suit of ready-made
clothing. from the commonest every-day
suit to a fine Sunday and superfine wed.
ding suit, cheaper then any other estab-
Habitual'. In the first place, then, he is
able to sell cheaper than other establish
ments, because he is well seqinstipted with
his business. He buys and sells at cost.
and knows when and where and bow to
buy his goods. "Goods well bought are
half sold." Even if he had no advantages
over any one in his line of business, he
can still undersell them, because he re
quires no large profits to make up for
large expenses. He attends to his busi
ness himself, and therefore incurs but
small expenses, comparatively speaking, in
carrying on the same. He sells his goods
for cash, and therefore requires no large
profits to make up for loss sustained by
credit sales. No one will doubt that the
Cash and One-price system together with
small profits, is the best mode of dealing
and most advantageous to the purchaser.
If any onecdoubts this, he will be convin
ced of its truth by palling at the Clothing
and Variety Store, opposite the Bank,
'Where he will find a large assortment of
all kinds of Ready-made Clothing, for men's
and boys' wear, together with every arti
cle in this line of business—Cloaks, Over
Coats, frock, sack, business and dress
Coats, Pants and Vests of allt deserip-
Lions, Woolen Under-shirts and drawers,
all kinds of Shirts, Collars, Cravats, Hand
kerchiefs, Silk Gores and Stockings. wrap.
pers. C cps, Hats, together with some fan
cy articles—Jewelry, Pistols, knives, and
la few Six-shooters, all of which he will
with pleasure exhibit fur examination to
those who call upon him. The prices are
such as will satisfy every one that this is
I the place to buy Fall and Winter Cloth
ing. You will be asked but one price,
with but a very small profit. The sub
scriber takes this occasion to tender to the
public his thanks fur the liberal patronage
which he has thus far received, and res
pectfully solicits a continuation of the
same. Also for sale, a very good and
neatly trimmed ROCKAWAY BUGGY,
with standing top, and a second-handed
Buggy, which will be disposed of very
low, either for cash or with a credit of six
months, as may suit purchasers.

FEVER AND Ames, AND ALL FIEVICRI CC.
11$310 BY BRANDIANTII'S PILLB.-All fevers
are occasioned by the disordered tioa
of the blood, produced by the Immoral se
renity by hardening the valves of the ves
sels. The blood circulates with greatly
increased speed, and is still increased by
the friction of the globules, or particles
which compose the mass of fluids. Then
it is that the excessive beat mid chills is
experienced throughout the whole system,
and accompanied with great thirst, pain in
the head, back, kidneys, and in fact a com
plete prostration of all the faculties of the
mind as well us the body.
On the first attack of lover, or any dis
ease, immediately take a largo dose of
Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills, end
continue to keep up a powerful effect up
on the bowels until the fever or pain has
entirely subsided. Six or eight will in
most cases be sufficient as a first dose, and
one dose of this kind it is not improbable,
may prevent months of sickness, perhaps
death.
