JESF" Don't forget the fact that Mr. Elliott is still making pictures in cases for the small cost of fifty cents. He is also selling fine cases at nearly fifty per cent, less than they re usually sold. He has just received a fine lot of Bontb'h celebrated oval gilt frames, for Photographs and Melaineotypes, all of which he will sell at reduced prices, and any one wanting anything in the picture line would do well to call at City Gallery, 45 Main street. We esteem it a pleasure resting upon our absolute knowledge of its merits to recoaimend Prof. Wood's Hair Uestoratire as the best article of the kind with which we are acquainted, and one which has done under our own observation all that it claims and it claims everything implied iu its name. xuis article, in short, will restore gray hair to its original color and add to its growth and beauty wherever any blight or disease has checked that growth or marred' that beauty. This has been proved in our family within a few weeks and in numerous other cases related to us without the knowledge of the proprietor. We have only to add that this most valuable article is for sale by the proprietor at Ho. 312 Broadway, and 114 Market Street, St. Louis. Cactiox. Beware of worthless imitations, as several are already in the market, called by different names. Use none unless the words (Professor Wood's Hair Restorative, Depot, St. Louis Mo. aud New York) are blown in the bottle. Sold by all Druggists and Patent Medicine dealers.

A very interesting revival of religion is now in progress at tin Ingle Street M. E. Church. The interest in the meetings is continually on the increase, and ere they close, we have no doubt many will make an open profession of a change of heart and conversion to God. The number of accessions, so far, is 22. It has been suggested and we think the idea a good one that the Editors attending the Opposition Convention on the 22d iDstM hold a friendly " pow wow," on the evening of the 21st, at some room to be designated. It is thought that matters of interest may be talked about, and good accomplished. 8Ve are indebted to Mr. Davis, Express messenger, for St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis papers. He informs us that snow fell to the depth of four or five inches at the last mentiond city night before last. This may be considered as winter's parting salute. Bi Fred. Penix was tried Tuesday night before the Mayor. He had been badly beaten and in consideration of that fact was only fined SI and sent to jail 24 hours. He was concerned in the Carpenter's Block riot on Sunday last. The Indianapolis Journal copies the resolutions adopted at tho Opposition mass meeting in this city, and remarks as follows concerning them : A series of resolutions was adopted, which embody a wise and moderate declaration of policy, which events are proving to be that with which victory is to be won if we are to win it at all. We copy so much of them 03 rela'es to the great matter in issue in the next contest. Chase and Sewnrd. ' The New Orleans Delta of the 9th inst., contains an article, lamenting over the coming departure of George E. Pugh from the U. S. Senate, to give place to Salmon P. Chase. The " heroism and vigor" of Pugh are glorified, and Chase i3 pronounced " one of the most dangerous chiefs of the great party which is rapidly swallowing up all the parties and factions of the North." The Delta then proceeds to draw this skillful parallel between Chase and Seward the great Western and Eastern lights of Republicanism : Profound and able in talent, skillful and artful in strategy, of good address, impressive elocution, indomitable industry and energy, and immovable equanimity, far-seeing in judgment, Salmon P. Chase fills a place in the Black Republican programme which Seward never can fill. He has the qualities of a chief and leader which Seward never can have. His Western life and intercourse have expanded his ideas on certain subjects upon which Seward is cramped, narrow and behind the age. There is a dash of demagogueism in Chase's character, which is quite esaential in a leader of any party, especially one of the passions and purposes ot Black Republicanism. His aspect and bearing are those, too, of a leader. He stands erect presents a oold and genial appearance, and shows unmis takably a large development of the appetites and propensities which the mass recognize as bonds of sympathy and fellowship. Sew ard, on the other hand, is stoop-shouldered, narrow-breasted, sharp-featured, sallow lined, and unwholesome in his physical characteristics. Besides, he takes snuff, wbieh men of good physical organization and healthily organized nerves rarely do. For these and other reasons, we regard Chase as the more dangerous chief and his accession to the Senate as a notable event in lhe history of Black Republicanism.

For the Eeimtvill Juvrnal. Warrick County Opposition Convention. A respectable number of the Opposition of Warrick county met at the Court House, in Boonviile, on the 11th inst., according to previous notice. The meeting was organized by appointing Israel Hemenway, Chairman, and Donis Fellows aud E. A. Baker, Secretaries. On request, Dr. W. G. Ralston stated the object of the meeting. The following resolutions were adopted: Offered by William Zeigler, a German citizen: Resolved, That the Democratic members

of Congress in voting for a Know Nothing for Speaker have forfeited all respect of their naturalized brethren. Offered by Samuel Johnson, Esq.: Resolved, That the President of the United States and the leaders of the Democratic party hare, in the most shameful manner, deserted the principles of popular sovereignty, and are therefore no longer entitled to the confidence and support of any party. Offered by Dr. Ralston : Resolved, That we do not recognize as just, the principle that the Constitution carries slavery into the Territories, beyond the control of the people or of Congress. Resolved, That Edward Bates of Missouri, is the choice of the Opposition of Warrick county for President in 1860. Resolved, That our delegates to the State Convention be instructed to vote for the Hon. Henry S. Lane for Governor, Judge DeBruler, of Spencer County, for Attorney General, and for Andrew Lewis, of Gibson County, for Treasurer of State. The following gentlemen were selected delegates to attend the State Convention: D F Bates, of Anderson; Wm G Ralston Chester Elliot, Samuel Johnson, J H Stone W m Ziegler, W L Barker, T S Adams and Jas H Denny, of Boon ; H C Nanney and Luke Grant of Campbell ; D W Beeson and David Barnett of Greer; C Kirkpatrick, John A Hart, James Knight and Win Martin of Hart; Hon A Reed and M B West of Owen ; Wni iM Morrison, A M Phelps, C W Bowers, F P Gunnel, JF D Bullitt, Samuel Summers and John B Handy, ot Ohio ; W W Brashears, James Berry and Edmund Reed, of Skelton ; Jesse Spradlin and John Hudson, of Pigeon. The following gentlemen were appointed a Central Committee; W G Ralston, Chairman, Wm L Barker, Wm Zeigler, Samuel Summers, S C Bates, U C Nanney, David W Beeson, Wm Martin, Armer Keetl, Jas Berry and Joseph Aust. Resolved, That the Boonviile and Warrick Democrat and the Kvansville Journal be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting. The meeting then adjourned sine die. Israel IIemknway, Pres't. JJ0RCS t ELL0WS, 1 j- Secy's ib. A. Baker, Warrick County. It will be seen by the proceedings of the Opposition Convention of Warrick county, published in to-day's paper, that our friends are at work up there. There was a good attendance, as we learn by private advices, and all passed off harmoniously. The resolution offered by Mr. Zeigler was a fire-brand thrown into the ranks of the " unterriGed some of whom are getting terrified by the stampede that is taking place amongst their former German allies. These are sensible, thinking men, and cannot always be humbugged by the Democracy. We learn that some of the democrats were so enraged at Mr. Zeigler, that they threatened to tar and feather him. It would be a sorrowful job for them to undertake. Both the Boonviile papers (Democratic) make the Zeigler resolution the theme for leaders in their last issue. This shows their uneasiness. Their efforts to clear Messrs. Niblack, English, and other Northern Dem ocrats, from the charge of voting for a Southern slave-code Know-nothing, whose principles they have always professed to oppose so strenuously, are all rendered fruitless in the face of tho assertion of Hon. W. S. Uolman, of the 4th District one of tho only three Northern Democrats who did not vote for Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, ne says, in a letter to his home organ '(the Lawrenceburg Register), in plain terms, that Mr. Smith was not only elected as tho nominee of the Know-nothings of his district over the regular Democratic nominee, but he was elected on a slave-code platform, distinctly opposed to popular sovereignty. These statements we take from a published ! letter of a representative of the party that ue two Boonviile papers belong to. The testimony is conclusive against them. The Eoonville Democrat professes to be a squatter sovereignty paper. Now, be it understood by its editor, Messrs. Davis and Holman, who would rj.ot vote for Mr. Smith, are the only squatter sovereignty Democrats from this State. fg?The Washington correspondence of the Ohio State Journal says that Senator Douglas deliberately cut the acquaintance of Mr. Forney, during the ballot for Cletk, on the floor of the House. If Mr. Dauglas has any idea of ever being elected President of the United States, he never should fcave committed so suicidal an act. The Charleston nominee can tever be elected unless he secures the vote of Pennsylvania, and that vote can never be obtained without the assistance of Col. Forney. There have been cases where men secured the Democratic nomination and still failed to become President. Mr. Douglas may meet with a similar fate. In his efforts to conciliate the Southern politicians, he seems totally regardless of the feelings or interests of his Northern adherents and friends. Bank Statement.

Dispatches from our Minister at Chili say inai outrages are continually perpetrated on American citizens, and no efforts are made by the Government to redress them.

A dangerous counterfeit on the ten dollar gold piece was discovered yesterday. In fact, externally it was a standard coin, but on being cut into, the cheat was made palpable.

Also, a resolution instructing the Committee on Commerce to inquire what measures should be adopted with a view of procuring the reduction of duties by foreign governments 011 tobacco. The above were appropriately referred. Washington, Feb. 15, p. m. Senate. Mr. Mason from the Ifarner's Ferry Com mittee reported a resolution that the Presi dent of the Senate issue warrants for the arrest of Sanborn, John Brown, jr., and Redpath, who had refused to obey the summons of the Committee to testify and, bring them before the Senate to answer for contempt. Mr. Hale said he would vote against it. He believed there was no power in the Senate to compel the attendance of these men. The resolution was adopted by yeas 46, nays 4. Those voting in the negative were Messrs. Bingham, Hale,Sumner and Toombs. Messrs Seward and King both voted affirmatively. Various reports, petitions, and bills of a private character were presented. On motion of Grimes, Mr. Davis's resolutions were made the special order for Mouday next. Mr. Hunter moved to postpone the prior order aud take up the Post office deficiency bill. Carried. The House having refused to concur in the amendments of the Senate abolishing the franking privilege, Mr. Hunter moved the Senate recede from its amendments. He was unwilling to enforce legislation on the other House. Agreed to. Yeas 42 nays 11. Mr. Toombs moved to reconsider, ne was opposed to the Senate receding. In the debate in tlie House, a strong fueling was expressed averse to the franking privilege, but they were opposed to its being incorporated in the appropriation bill. Now, in this bill there was no general legislation. The motion to reconsider was lost, yea3 14, nays 42. Mr. Gwin now asked the Senate to procec4 with the consideration of the bill to abolish the franking privilege. Agreed to. The first amendment by the Committee on the Postoffiee and Post roads, was that the aliolishing of the franking privilege should not apply to those to whom it was granted by same. Mr. Gwin moved an amendment that during the session of Congress, and for thirty days before the meeting, and for ten days after the adjournment, the President, VicePresident, Heads of Departments, and members of Congress, should be allowed to send free mail matter not over 2 oz in weight. Mr. Gwin said the object of the committee was to abolish the franking privilege -if further legislation was necessary, it could be done at anether time. Mr. Mason approved the amendment. Mr. Doolittle wanted to relieve the Post office Department of the heavy business imposed upon it. Mr. Hammond moved to strike out all the bill, except the few lines abolishing the franking privilege. He did not advocate it as a measure of economy. He believed that if you ask for a contract with the franking privilege abolished, you could not get one mite of a reduction. The railroad and steamboat lines will take every cent that can be got from the Government, and it made no difference whether they carried a ton or a truck load. Mr. Davis thought it might be well not to take the franking privilege from the ExPresidents or their widows. Mr. Wigfall explained that the bill, if not amended, effected this. Mr. Hammond's motion was carried. Mr. Mason moved to add that hereafter nothing passed free by mail. Carried.

Our stave market is now very much depressed, and becomes worse and worse every day, in consequence of the large quantities arriving here aud on the way. Clarets or French butts, .of good quality, are selling here at from 15 to $J.r ; hhd. staves from t2i to $30, and pipe staves from -!0 to S3o per 1000 of twelve hundred staves. The prospect of better prices will not improvo for a long time to come, probably a year from this, iu consequence of the total failure of the wine crop in Europe, and the very large stock of staves now on hand here, which is over six millions, which is sufficient to en pply the demand for two years to come. I would there lore advise all persons who may have staves on hand, not to send them to this market, as they will not jsty the freight and expenses on thn.
