The quatititariao", whose vast internal doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give precedence to the man who restores health nnd appetite, witti from one to two of his extraordinary Puis, and cures the most virulent sores with .1 box or so of his wonderful and all healing Salve. These two great specifics of the Doctor ore fast superseding all the stereotyped nostrums of the day. Kxtraordinary cures by Maggiel's I'ills and Salve have opened the eyes of the public to the inefficiency of the (so called) remedies of others, and up 'n which people have «o long blindly de ended. Maggiel's I'ills are not of <he class that swallowed by the dozen, aud of which every box full taken creates an absolute necessity for another. One or two of Maggiel's I'ills suffices to place the bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach, .creates an appetite, ami reader the spirits light and buoyant! There is no griping, and no reaction in the form of constipa tion. If the liver is affected, its func tions arc restored; and if the nervous system is feeble, it is invigorated. This last quality makes the medicines very desirable for the wants of delicate fe males. Ulcerous and eruptive diseases arc literally extinguished by the disen fertant power of Maggiel s Salve. In fact, it is here announced that MAOOIEL'S BILIOUS, DYSPEPTIC AND DIARRHEA I'ILLS cure where all others fail.

Attorney Ucneral Speed on the Political Situation. WASHINGTON, D. 0., July 14, 1806. To Hon. J. It. Doolittle, Chairman, &c. Sia—l have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note ofthe 10th inst., with a printed copy of a call (or a Na tional Convention, to be held at Phila delphia on the 14th day of August next. You request, in case the call, and the principles enunciated in it, meet my ap proval, that I reply at my earliest conven ience. This language would seem toiui ply that no answer is desire ! if 1 do not approve the call and the principles avow ed in it; in other words, that a failure to reply may be interpieted as a disapprov al, not ouly of the call, but of each and all the principles announced in it. This is a position in which 1 am un willing to be placed, when 1 approve of many of the principles set forth in the call, and yet do not approve of the call itself. 1 will briefly state my reasons; first premising that i do not recognize the very respectable gentlemen who have made this call as the acknowledged or gans of the great Union parly of the country. Since the outbreak of the terrific strug gle from which the couutry has now emerged, we have had a .National Uuiuu party that has exhibited more devotion, made greater sacrifices, and manifested more unselfish patriotism tiiau any party every did previously in tilt history ut the world. That par.y is still in being, with its organization intact, and its organs known; a:.d as that paity, by its faith, Its doctrines, and its exertions, lias, iu the face of the prophecies ot halt the New and all the Old World, saved the GJV eminent aud the republican institutions ot our common country from demoraliza tion, and indeed from utter ruin, by vin dicating at all hazards the primordial theory of the eternal, indissoluble union of the .States, through which only can a particle ol the theory of State rights ever be maintained aud carried out, it would appear to nie Jo be still the ouly, or at any rate the most effectual means, as far as party can do it, or finally adjusting all the remaining minor and unsettled mat ters of lecoiistiuction consistently with the requirements of the theory men tioned. I have said that many of the princi pics stated in the call are, in my view, objectionable, but content mytelf with stating that the call fails to take any no tice ot one of Jwe great issues now before the American people. I allude to the question whether the several States shall ratily or reject the last amendment pro posed by t ongress to the Constitution of the United States. This is a grave ami all important question. The issue upon it caunot be avoided. It should be placed fairly and squarely before the people.— The failure to take ground upon so im portant and a.I absorbing a question must be attributed either to a desire to avoid the issue, or as a declaration of belief and policy against the adoption of the amend ment by the States, 1 cannot go into an organization that would cither openly op pose that measure or that would smother it by avoiding its discussion. '1 his party is the same to-day as it was in the days of its trial ; the same party now as then, but a f!W months ago, it elected Lincoln and Johnson, and the ma jority of the prescu' Congress; Slid as 1 acted with it then, for paramount reas ons, my sense of duty demands that 1 remain and act with it now. The pith and liairow of the present call, I should say, tendstowaid a conven tion to form a party for sustaining, not the Government in its entirety, (as has been the mission of the Union |.arty.) but a dcpartmcut of the Govcrnniet.— And here I must take the liberty ol add ing that I cau hardly conceive of any sad der spectacle, under the crisis of present cireumstancas, than that of the tr el Union party bf this country boosting dislocated aud broken up by divisions, or that of one branch of the Govern ment of the country taking an isolated position upon questions of deep and con-- nion interest, and placing iitself in hostile conflict, viitli eo-ordinate departments. For these and other reasons, which might be mentioned, I cannot join iu ihc call lor the Convention iu I'luludelphia. I must also add, that no tmiu is mne desirous than I am to attain the entire restoration of the American Union, with its practical workings in m rep rfeol liaiinniy and eoiicord than ever, and the suiety, as far as mortal afliirt can he made sure of en;iless perpetuity in the lui wie The lile-sio_s to ti Ir an su.-li a Union are countle-s and ines mahle liut such a Union, consistent within i - -elf. tnaintaincil by the lihiver al consent ot all classes aud sections, and lauirhinj 10 scorn both the assaults ot toe• internal oi external, and the ravages ot lime and change, wi.l ouly be obtained by stern y retracting every departure from, or com promise with, the supreme and general idea of the American and fundamental law, the Constitution. That general idea consists, in brief, of the political liberty and equality of mankind 'tinier the law. Such, and such only, can be the Union, tho nationality, that will put in form the maguificenl ami lolty dreams of the American contineniial mind, ami fulfill in the future the highest efforts ol the present and past. It is not thu vague delusion that the rights of the States need doctoriug. The American theory culminates properly in the sacredness ot the rights of individuals—of each sin gle individual. That, after all, is what Washington carved out with the sword, and Jefferson, filtering it through his subtle and free mind, drew up and put on recoid with the pen. It is well known that in the political and legal history o the United States, the ouly departures or comprouiitesofthe kind alluded to have beeu those in the iuterestß of slavery, and of its manifold incidents. Ido not, of courcs. propose togo over the thousaud times told tale of the past sixty years. To-day, slavery, as a confessed legality, is, as we all know |no more. But some of the most import I aut cf its incidents or compromises will i ill reman—blots and incongruities up on the law. What equitable reason cau be given why these incidents also should not. be erased ? Time was that when the brains were out the man would dio ; hut now wo tee the limbs demand ing to live and move, as if the nervous center still existed. The persistent attempt to keep in the Constitution the rule of an unequal and unfair basis of rcpresen tation is perilous to the future peace of the country, and will aurely cause a chafing sense of in justice as long as it is continued.. Furthermore, the high mission of the Union party, as avowed in the Baltimore Convention, to "extirpate slavery," in cludes the removal of all the hateful and anti-popular excrescences engrafted by that institution for its own selfish aggran disement upon our free national laws and policy. That high mission and oblig» tinn cannot be accomplished until all which slavery hug so engrafted is cutout; for until then slavery is not "extirpated Earnestly sympathizing with the men who look to a law of equal represents lion as the only guaranty both for popu lar rights >ind popular acquiescence, I would feel myself out of place in a par ty that favors the basis of representa tion giving pcculiar*and unrighteous ad vantages to a portion of the body politic, t) the detriment aud dissatisfaction of the whole. Uniting with you and all good men in the soul felt desire that peace, prosperity and that amicable brotherhood which is more than any worldly prosperity, may soon pfovail, and continue unbroken through our beloved common country, that former enmities shall die out and be forever lost, aud that all over the broad domain of America equal laws shall protect equal rights to all maukind.

In consequence of the recent great decline in gold and silver and all the material! used in the manufacture of our goods, and In anticipation of a still further decline we have reduced our prices t> as low a point as they can be placed With O.olct at Par, so <hat no one need hesltute to buy a watch now from the expectution that it will be cheaper at some future tliue. The test of ten years and the manufacture and sale of More tlinn 300,000 n utclu'M, have given our productions the very highest rank among jime keeper*. Commencing with tkio determination to make only thoroughly excellent watches, our busbies* has steadily Increased as the public became acquainted with their value, until fur months together, we have been unable to supply the demand. We have repeatedly enlarged our factory building* until they now cuter over three acres of ground, and give accnmmodatiou to more than eight hundred workmen.

There are no means for keeping separate the male and female inmate a. It la *0 arranged that it is lnpMalbl<i t.. remodel Ui4 Jail, ap aa to sm el any permanent or important change. The Jail is be sides in our opinion, too small and unhealthy, being damp and murky. We, in short, condemn the Jail as worso than uaeleas, by Wing positively unfitted as a hab itation for any bunion being. It is inhuman to put and keep inen, murh nn re females. in such a hole. Attor neys cannot so- and consult with their Clients in the Jail, w thout great inconvenience as Well aa discomfort.. It is, in our judgment, an outrage on decency and hu manity. and a disgrace to the County. We therefore earnestly advise and recommend the demolition of the old Jail and the immediate erection of a new one. We further present that the Jail and its surrounding* are well, neatly, and comfortably kept at present by the Sheriff and his good wife, as is po-sible. We further recommend the Commissioners of the County, to have tho Court ll< use inaured as aoon as possible, in a sum approaching as near as may bo its original cost, in some one or more reaponsible Insurance Companies.

The Officer* and Bond of Director* of tlii* Company pmntttMikoTaei nblnatlonof twenty rich And nit able Silver Ledges, comprising twenty-fire thousand foot, which they confidently hoi lore embrace* a proper ty for profitable silver mining unsurpassed by any on tl.n Pacific coast. Thin property was selettedand located by practical and experienced miners, amongthe first, in North Union and Mammoth, which aro justly regarded among tiie best silver mining districts in the State, <>n account of the richnessof the ores, the width of ttie voi«a, the lino timber 011 the mountain, and the sa'.t bruins and gruss in the valleys. This Company do not design to set forth statements that will not be veriAed. and prefer nnder-estinj.iting what they believe the rnulta wilt prove Fuel in an itemot great expense in many of the districts The & Cutry, Ophir, Savage, nnd other celebrated minea in Washoe, are paying from Aftoen t» twentv dollars per cor J for wood. A twenty t>tainp mill will consume flf teen cords of wood per day. at sls per cord, amounting to f. '2b per day. In tho Mvnm »tfi and North Union districts it would be simply thecutting,si perco'd.or s«v» per day. There is a largo Having on this item. In the r nsumptloii of salt, which is lurg ly used In mining operations, the saving would uot In* less than SBO per nay over many other districts. In these two item* there is an advantage iu coat of running a twenty stamp mill in these districts which would make u handsome yearly profit of itself. It Is not the intention of theCompany to work all this property at the present tunc, but to hold it in r**ferve for future disposition, either to form a part of it into other organisations, or to erect other mills, as may be deemed expedient. A twenty sta.np mi'l near a well selected lode will pay a large dividend on the capital tho tii *t wot king year, and leave a reserved fund in the treasury, to bo applied to tho erection of anothor mill This Company intend to erect a first-class mill near tho Winnebago lode, which is four and otKvhalf feet wide,and is considered one of the richest silver ledges in Nevada, and will afford an ample supply of ore lor «* twenty-stamp mill. I'rofesaar lilatchly, who Is a scientiAc, reliable, and very cautious gentleman, lays of this lode : 14 This is a strong well-defined vein, thowing every indication of depth and jtermanence. T'f ore it of great rich next, and well dijTuted throughout the. rein, ' and ail the ore will pay for working from the. very tur facc. Thi* it a rtry valuable mine and can made to pay from the beginning. n A. lit. won ly , .Mining Engineer. It is more than doubtful ir Professor lilatchly speaks in these terms of any other mine in Nevada. A twenty stamp mill ran crush twenty tons per .lay ; but sMy that it crushes 16 tons per day, (choice speci mens from the Winnebago lode has assayed #113.! per ton), it is a low entimnte to say that It will give an av erage yield of sl£o per ton, token a* it come* from the vein, 112 ifteen tons |w»r day would yield $-<4jo; the ex penses of . rushing in these districts will not exceed $.lO per ton, or $460 for 15 tons, leaving a net profit of SIBOO for a working day, or a monthly proAt of ov»r s4o,uuu for one mill. This statement may seem large, but it is proven by the results of other mills in districts le*s favoiabiy lo cated. We confidently believe there is no other in vest ment will iny such largo returns as silver property, when well located. and the mills properly managed The managing director is au experienced and practical silver ore worker in all its details ; ho is in the pr.ine of life, of excellent habits, and indomitable energy ; he hat been long and favorably known to our President, Uov.
