will strike through the ordinance to bury the
rance of their just indignation deep into the
heart of the swindlei end thus struck down, it
will be tiemPled into the very earth, while its

As we go to press, we learn that the Le

Committee of Conference. has passed both
branches of Congress—in the House by nine
majority. Lecompton is therefore passed—
provided the people of Kansas vote to accept

a general determination exists to vote down
the Lemimpton Ordinance and Constitution.

THE ItIOUT OF SEARCH
• Several British Cruisers in the. Gulf of

search,. on American IlliVchantelen, and in
consequence_ of ' these . repented aggressions,.
the Secretary of the Navy has issued orders
to Commander llnrtstein, to proceed immedi

the steamer Arctic; also, to Commander John
Rodgers, to take command of the steamer
Water Witch ; also at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
fo fit them out without delay, and proceed to

.in search of the British steamer
Styx, and interpose American guns between
the BritiSh cruisers and our merchantmen..

can be prepared for the service.
The President is determined 4o put a stop
to those outrages at, once, and if a collision
should result, the responsibility must' rest
upon the British Government.

“OLD SANDS OF LIFE:,
The" Ite,tired Physician," who has_been so
successful in swindling people in all parts of
the country, by promising IT)- send cures for
all diseases,- and meals
.by which - fortunes
wore to.ho nhtde, t ic., has at length played
out his game; and, left for parts Unknown,
with o handsome fortune, leaving hia dupes
neither wiser nor better, 'but ready to be hum
bugged again by the trot 'charlatan, who has
ingenuity enough to originate- a new swindle.
By consent of the reit:master General, giv
en nt the request of Mayor Tiemann, Post
master Fowler, of New York, took charge of
all such correspondence as carne to the Post'
Office. There were about 700 letters in - the
office, addressed to Drs. Wallace, Morton,
James', (whose sands of life have nearly run
otft,) Monet, Le Brun, Dullim, Tracy, Do La
Rome, and Prof. James T. Horn. These
were-assumed names, and parties using them
deal in general quackery. The letters will be
opened at Washington, and such sums of too
ney. as they be found to contain be forwarded
to the addiess of the writers thereof.
The New York Leader' gives the following
sketch of the " Retired Physicinn.!'
" It appears that Dr. James, the "retired
physician, whose -sands of lifdhave nearly run
out,"lnts retired and run off, from the scene
of his labors, leaving. behind-Mid a disconso
late 'Aire and jut unhealed world. Not even
his famous Canuibis -Indica, or East Indian
Hemp, which has- saved his only daughter
from thb grave,' was able to arrest the myste
rious prowess by which his shadow grew less
and leas, until it entirely disappeared. His
"sands of life" he has, however, converted
into sands of gold, and the possession of One
hundred thousand -dollars consoles' him for
his compulsory flight front the gayeties of New
York. The " retired physician" is not the
only masquerade in which the departed Brown
—his real name—has figured lle was also .
IL Monett. who taught people to change mer
cury into gold,, he was Prof. James T. Horn,
Who advertises that he will show anybody the
way.to make $lOOO a year, if not more, upon
the receipt of a certain sum in postage stamps,
which coming dully .: to heed, the applicants'
are sent a recipe for the manufacture of arti
ficial honey, and the rigid to sell it tin .any`
_county which the dupe may select, the two
costing $O. Thmentesprising Brovin is also
Madame Julio lllcllville, who fins lately re
ceived front France some aplemlid cosmetics.
'These facts have been brought to light by the
New York police, who are now in eager pur- -
suit of the retired and retiring physician. It
appears that there was no Canilibis Indica in
the Medicine of , Brown, but merely a com
pound of liquorice, slippery elm decoction and
honey. costing sixteen cents, bottle and all,
and for which .id kharged $2. His " Regula
ting and Purifying Pill" and "Excelsior Oint7
ment of India," were made on the sumo prin
ciple and sold for na many dollars as they
cat.him cents. The most magnificent of his
cosmetics, "The Milk. of Roses. and Extract
of Elder Blossoms," turns out to be "a
ture of magnesia and alcohol.. costing him
about eight cents—price $2 a bdttle. It. 're..
Mains - CO be !icon under what now disguise the
"retired physician" will make' his next ap-,
