A New and Grand Fpoch in Medicinal
DR. MAOQIEL is the founder of a new
Medical System The quantitarians,
whoso vast internal doaes enfeeble the
stomach and para lyre the bowel.-', must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with .1 bo* or so of his
wonderful and all healing Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
superseding all the stereotyped nostrums
of the day. Kxtraordinary cures by
Maggiel's Pills and Snlve have opened
the eyes of the public to the inefficiency
of the (so called) remedies of others, and
upon which peoplo have »o long blindly
depended. Maggiel's Pills are not of the
class that swallowed by the doxen, and
of which every box full taken creates ID
absolute necessity for another. One or
two of Maggiel's Pills suffices toplaoethe
bowels in perfect order, tone the stomaoh,
creates an appetite, and reader the spirits
light and buoyant 1 There is no griping,
and no reaction in the form of constipa
tion. If the liver is affected, its func
tions are restored; and if the nervous
system is feeble, it is invigorated. This
last quality makes the nediein es very
desirable for the want* of delicate fe
males. Ulcerous and ernptive diseases
are literally extinguished by the dieeo
feotant power of Maggie! s Salve. In
fact, it is here announced that MAOJHEI,'»

Trouble in RaWlinore t
During the progress of tlia late war,
owing to tho absence of a largo number
of the democrats of tho border slave states
as they were called, these states fell into
the hands of tho unconditional Uunion
men or Republicans. Taking advantage
of the opportunity thus offered, the dom
inant party in Missouri, Kentucky and
Maryland, so amended their constitutions
as to forever prevent any who had ever
keen in the rebel army, or who had givou
the rebel cause their sanction or -assist
ance, from voting in tho fu'ure.
When tho rebel causo fell, largo num
bcrs of these robel soldiers returned and
demanded their right to vote, claiming,
as do our Conservative neighbors, that
the rights of tho States and of their citi
ions were continuous 1 To this insolent
dumand Kentucky yie ded, the men
supposing, no douOt, mm .ht.ii »,„ 6
nanimity they would bo liberally treated !
by their rebel, or democratic neighbors.
But in this they were disappointed ! The
vory first opportunity offered swept every
truo Union man frojj office, and filled
his place with tho man flint could prove
the best record as a rebel, lieiico it was
tlint iho Democracy carried the state by j
over 35,003 majority. Taking warning
j by K«ntu-ky, the loyal men of Missouri
and Maryland have refused t > liberaliie
thoir provisions in this
behalf.
Ifl Maryland voters are required to
take an oath thkt they had in no way an
sisted nor sympathised with tho rebel
lion before they -:an Lava their nuines
registered by the commissioners appointed
for tho purpose.
In tho city of Baltimore the Commis
sioners appoiut the election board. In
this city the Republicans have a good
working majority of from 3,000 to 4,000
votes. "But could the Sc.ulhe.n element"
as it is called, got to the polls this would
Lc overcome. For the purpose of retch
iDg (his consummation ail the dislr-yul
elements of the city have joined in a po
tition to Governor Swan asking him to
remove these commissioners and appoint
others in their placo, accordingly tho
Governor has summoned the commission
ers before bim to answer the charges
preferred against them. Under what
assumed authority ho acts, we aro not
advised. Tho object of his course, is
however, well known; and is nothing
short of putting the election board in
possession of the disloyal element of the
city. Maryland chooses, besides mem
bers of Congress, a legislature whose duty
it is to elect a United States frenitor.
iler election takes place on thj 6th ol
November. The result in Baltimore
will decide the result in the State. If
the Republicans succeed their present
Senator will be re-elected, if the Rebels
succeed, either Montgomery Blair or Gov
ernor Swan will be chosen. Thus it will
le seen that the Governor it deeiroas of
effecting an arrangement that will enable
him to reach the United States Senate.
Ho baa already decided that be baa the
legal power tajemove the Commisaieners,
but haa postponed the matter for a few
days. In the moan time he has visited
the President, who, doubtless, has prom
iaed him aid. But it woald seem, that
since the October elections have gone so
hard against "my policy" that iunotion
•ry ia not so willing to interfere. Thfe
commissioners too, have refused to ap
pear before the Governor for « bearing,
denying his authority in the premises.
The city government, including the
Mayor, the police, and the "boys in blue"
who have organised for the occasion, are
determined to sustain the commissioners,
is holding the election on the 6th of next
month, whether the Governor attempts
«• snym—ris tbem mi not* T« «e<Mt«r-
act all this the rebels are organising in
force, for "active service." Thus stands
matters io Maryland. The solution of
the whole matter will ho looked for with
interest Had the late elections went
favorabld to the President, there is do
doubt but he would eucourage the Gov
ernor in handing the city over to hiscon
icrvutice friends, ths lata rei'ela, but w th
another iadioal Congress staring him in
the faeeand impeachment disturbing his
dreams, it is not so clear how far he will
feel inclined to go. All things consid
ered, Baltimoro will be looked to for the
next two weeks with absorbing interest

Art of Gilding.
The New York Mercantile Journal
closes a lengthy and rather interesting ar
ticle under the above caption, as follows:
"Die new uiotal Aluminium, ot which
we give ho full a description some weeks
ago, is very r»pi lly superseding many of
thoso ornamental works in massive gild
ing whore great expense was incurred,
but its own oostlin»«s will, for some time
to come, prevent its general application,
and meanwhile, gilding in its ten thou
sand branches, is assuming importance as
an art that was not dreimed of 20 years
ago. In France it is estimated together
as a business to employ is one way or an
other, 100,000 persons, aod to be worth
120,000,000 francs per annum. In Ger
many, including all the States of the
Confederation, nearly twice as ony per
sons subsist by it, producing 200,000,000
francs. In Great Britain working
men and women in this trade yield about
£1,500,000, and in the United States
nearly the number of hands tarn off
$10,000,000 worth of this peculiar la
bor. Our workmen are as quick and
akillfnl as they are numerous, and we
have in recent years imported same of
the best from different parts of Europe.
Their range of activity now embraces
every line of gliding, silvering and gold
and silver platfng known Ui£mod<>rn art,
and the demand of the American commu
nity increases with wonderful rapidity.—
In gilt mirror frames, cornices and mould
ings there is an eadleas variety, and all
are wanted as fast as they can be pro
duced. Oar importations too, are heavy,
and thu*, not only tho manufacturing in
terest but the customs revenue of the
Government derives large benefits from
the virtues that, without any play npon
tho words, our people see in gilt.
An item added and we have done with
this sketchy notice of « trade that occu
pies a conspicuous plaoe on the business
records of New York. It is computed
that tbero is enough gold and silver
bound np in this kind of surface decora
tion throughout the country, to have
paid the year's interest on the National
COMMUNICATION.
BUFFALO TP . Oct. 10, 1-60.
Tnos. ROBINSON, K»q , Dear Sir —
The emotion is over and I think w« have
fully snstaincd oar well-earned character
for loyalty and lore of pure republican
principled in Boffolo townnhip. Oui ma
jurity, onejl undreil and twenty roles, fa),
ly proves tbis. I cannot give any better
proof of the strong attachments of our
citizens, both old and young, to those
glorious principles for which we contend
ed ao vigoronsly and triumphantly
through all our national struggle than to
atats the fact that Capt. John Weir now
in hi« 91't year, polled the first rote on
the 9th inst. Also, Mr. Abraham Park
er in his 93d year, was tarly on the
ground. Mr. Samuel S. Flemming trav
eied 90 miles, 59 miles by railroad and
walked tho remaining 40 miles for thci
privilege of voting So ycU see, botli
old and young were anxious to vote for
Geary, and the ickolc ticket.
Truly, Yours. D.
FACTS TI THEORIES.
"Give me a pla«e to rest my lever on,'
says Archimedes, "and I will move the
world." "Give nie pure and unadulter
ated drugs," says Medicus, of the oideu
times "and I will cure disease."
In one sense, both of these lesrned
pundits were the veriest charlatan*.—
They knew there was no place to re3t
their lever on, cither to move the world
or cure disease. Mechanism wiis in a
backward state, and the medical profess
ion was but another name for sorcery an
11 the adjuncts of magio tilten and
charms of the "evil eye," &c.
But those latter days have borne unto
us something mire than oven superstition
and its orow everdre'iimt of in tlieir"Ui»dett
philosophy. In these days of practical
saientJe, what was theory of yesterday
us fact today, and all the old time notions
become as bubbles in tha sun, and bus'
and break with every breath we draw.
Let Arshimedcs shoulder his lever and
we will find a resting for it to move the
world. Let m:ne ancient Medicus pnut
aud toil no more for the drug? ho so sorely
needs, for we have at our hand,
ever ready to s;rve them at his bock.
Refined in the labratory of Dr. M»c
gicl, the materiel* knows J ti tho
medical profession are obtainable by any
one. His Rillious, Dyspeptic, and Diar
rhea Pills stand unrivallod, and his Salvo
operates with magical effect upon burns,
scalds, and all sores and ulcer-" of the
skin.
In fact, wo ihiuk MAOOIEL'S Pills and
Salve are the wonder of this century, aud
we are happy in the thought that many
uti.cro of our brethren of tho craft agree
with U3. We would oarne-tly counsel
that all families provide themselves with
Dr. Maggiels Preparations at onco, nnd
keep them ready at hand, so as to use
thcni at tho most opportune, time
aud as occasion serves Valley Sentinel.
The lost Steamer.
MO?T TIIIULLI.NQ DKTAILB.
fftsw YORK, Oct.l3—'J he responsibili
ty for the loss of the Evening Star con tin
ues to be discussed by the daily papers.
'I ho following interesting particulars
were taken from the statements of piss
cnger* who were saved.
About midnight it began to blow n
hurricane with a very ugly cross sea, the
nh:p lying in the trough of the sea. The
nighi w«s datk. fearfully dark; nothing
but. the moat solid and ghomy darkness
all around; no view to cheer; nothing to
remind tho torrificd passengers of the
deep joa over which they roJo bat tho
foim of tiie spray which carnf in showerj
on our decks
At tbia time tho hurricane w.n go fu
rious and the steamship thrown SJ com
pletely at its mercy, that for the general
safety the Captain was obliged to send
tbe women all below and lock thorn in
the cabin. JFe were now about two bun
dred and forty miles northeast ol .Matan
ili* Reef, and ono hundred and eighty
miles from land, and from this time un
til she went down she never changed her
position.
At three o'cloek on the morning of
October 3d, we commenced bailing the
ship from the engine room and aftor cab
in, at which the women helped with all
the strength ol frenzy ond dejptir.
About 4 A. M, the starboard rudder
chain got out of tbe sbievoand the wheel
bonsea were wished overboard.
At 5 A. M. tho engine was thorough
ly disabled in spite of the superhuman
efforts of tho Chief Engineer and lus
assistants. The increase of the water in
the ship's hold soon drove the men from
their duty by tho cargo's shifting aft
The hurricane w<a all thia time blowing
with a fury which was fearful, terrific
and appalling in tho extreme.
At about five A. M , the Captain went
into the oabin and notified the passengers
tliot he had done all in his powur, and
that the ship wDuW certainly go down.
Some of tbe seamen were at this moment
assisting in getting the boats free from
tbo fastenings to tbe ahijj. Tho Captain
waa exhorting the passengers to act cool
ly The storm continued to howl in a
most fearful and depressing manner, and
now comes the most thrilling morneat of
»ur trying time.
The womon,shrieking frightfully,rush
id on deck in the naoftt frantic manner,
tearing their hair, ard in many ways act
ing more like lunatics th m beings en
dowed with reason. lleisin at this ino
ißtut had certainly tbdifatcd its throne,
and bothinijbaf ths wildest stage of mad
ness had the poor beings couio to. The
men wire equally as violent, though for
a scene it might have been worse.
The women commenced diresting them
selves of their c'othiujr, and madly and
wildly plunged into the foauiing surf,
never to rise to its surface again. The
captain and crew tried their beat to pre
vent this, but to Do avail. Dcapair con
trolled their action*, and ra,her than face
a lingering death many of them volun
tarily sought that grave whioh opened
with such fearful jawa to receive their
mortal all.
While these fearful scenes wore being
enacted, which waa about six o'olouk iu
the morning, the fhip took a heavy lurch
settling fart. A heavy tea boarded her,
and with one fearful continued lurch down
she went, and all was over with the Ev
ening Star
Another ftateti •nt nays : Only four
life preservers were on boitrd the Even
ing Star, which were d a r buteJ amoup
the ladies, members of the. ballet troupe
and F rench c r tis enmpiny. None apeak
iug English onuld understand what or
ders were given in relation to the bra'a,
•nj very few, if any, managed to roach
them.
The shrioVs of the i ant c w> men ceold
ho henrd above thj roar of the angiy
waves, rushing to and fro itnploiing for
aid, but it waa euh for himself. In ad
dition to the French circus company and
ballet troupo there wero lorty-two frail
women, who, for various reasous, were
seeking another field to prosecute their

It is stated that one young girl baa left

New York companies.
NEW YO::K, October U.— Thf Chief
Engineer of the lost steamer Evening
Star has reached lure, and makes the
following statement:
Whon last leaving port, tho engiuei
and boilers wtro iu good working ardor,
and continued so until the nigiit of the
3d of October. On this evening a seven
gale sot ia from ea-st t'j east sou' east,
whioh incrcsSid to a hurricaue ut mid
night,then currying away with the heavy
sea both whcol li um, nothing
but the braces atri guards. The utoam
ei waa ccntinualiy shipping heavy aeaa
parti iily floolmg the engine rooui, but
not affecting m that hour (Iu fires.
At ;hrco a m., Ou'ibor Si, the strain
lug of tUfe tiiip in th« heavy seas, c»aaed
the Oia;u steam pipe to break, whio 1 !
drove my men from the fire-room, but I
etill continued to work thu engine, and
so contiuued until bvt o'clock, within one
hour of the sinking of thu rhip. A*soon
aa tho stcampipe broke, 1 started the fiie
iu the d<nkey engine, and tct the suaoi
pump in operation, which workod most
effectually. It had previously b'.-cu in
constant operation until tho steam *p>pc
on ihc donkey boiler broke. The water
waa gaining very last, and the snip lay
ing iu tha trough of the sea, and raakiug
a cieau breach over her. At five u in ,
hj e supped wjrkiug ; all nan la
bailing a'up.
At abju* six a. ro., the ship wentdowu
Up to tho timo the engine stopped work
ing, five a. m O-Jtobjr 31, n j ship ever
stood op better under such a troincadous
hurricane and heavy aoa She behaved
herself nobly. Thu cause of tho atop-.-
page of the engine was the shipping oi
the ireuieadous eis, wh'o'i caused groht
volumes of wa'.cr to leich the firo mm,
extinguishing the fires, and thus prevent- I
ing the making of steam. The engine
hatchways bad been broken in by tbe
sea*. The assistant engineers, water
tenders, firemen and coal passers all stood
to their posts bravely, and obeyed >ll or
ders promptly ai.d coolly. They allprov- I
> ed themselves worthy and efficient men
In justice to tho owners of the steam
er, I most here state that tvery facility
in the way of supplies and material for
repairs to the engine and pumps were
furnished me with an unstinted liberali
ty. Cspt. Knapp and ail other officers
of the steamer, as well as the crew, were
untiring in their efforts to avert the dis
aster, and the passengers nobly seconded
their exertions in such a atanner as they
were" retjMoetcd. Even the ladies assisted
ia bailing the ship.
—Mr. Jay oaeo remarked to Ml. NeWi
ton, in relation to the conversion of a
very wicked man : "If this man is a true
penitent, I shall never despair of tbe con
version of any one again.' "Oh, I nev
er did," rejoined Mr- . Newton, "since
God saved me."
—Years ago two eons of the welikdo » a
Jacob B<rker, Abram and Sigourney,
were on a shooting expedition of the
"Glen ' Abram, who was oine
years oln, had the helm; and Sigourney,
gun in hand, qtood near by. Suddenly
tho boom jibbed over, and strikiug Si*
gourney knocked Lisa into the wa:er.->-
AJ Abram assisted his brother into tbe
boat, he axclaimed . "Never atiud, Sigj
if yon didn't shoot yen gnt a dnok !"
