WEEKLY SEXTINEL

DVKSDU nAKC M . 1S61 A RnoLiTK Fair On. An exciting sreneoc rurred a few Jays ago in the parlor of one ot our flrst class hotels. A couple had arrive! the evening before in one of the night trains, and had retired without registering their names. The gentleman was a middle aed, dashing looking mn the lady yovng, rery pretty but awarwutly unsophisticated. They did not come down to bre-ik-fast, but entered the parlor about ten o'clock, from whence voice in angry altercation were soon heard. The landlord and several guests of the house went in and (bund the lady making dejperate effort to stab her companion with a small knife and declaring that if he did not fulfil hi en - cement and marry her that one or both of them must die. She evidently was determined that he should die first. The man was holding her hands and pleading with her to appease hr excited feelings. She told the old story that she had been induced to leave home under promise of marriage, and sue was determined to hare the contract filled to the letter. A long conversation ensued and the lady finally agreed that if the gentleman would return h me with her and there nave the marriage ceremony performed he would forgive him. So the affair was arranged and the parties started in the evening train for the North. The OtoctKT Tbad. The great railroad ad vantages of Indianapolis hare made it a distributing center for a large portion of the State, and an amount of capital is employed sufficient tn produce an active and healthy competition. In no branch of commerce or trade is there more activity then in th grocery trade. This is emphatically the grocery marketof Indiana. We have several large wholesale houses which distribute over an immense region of country, supplying the retail trade on better terms, freight and other ex penses taken into view, than they could obtain at the river markets. One of the heaviest of these houses is that of A. k H, Schnull, who nre located in the splendid new building recently erected by Macy k McTaggnrt, on the corner of Washington and Delaware streets, nearly oppo site the Court-house. Our friends throughout the State will find at this house, at nil times, n tull supply of every article kept in first class grocery houses, and the Messrs. Schnull agreeable and accommodating business men. ZW The Frie Pre man claims to he the originator of the costume in which the President elect took his flight from Harrisburgh to Wash ington, and is exceedingly jealous and touchy on the subject. He parades the streets with a huge overcoat and a plaid shawl about his neck, smiling graciously and for the truth of history, we should say that he did so before the Lincoln Hegira. He is an accomplished gentleman, the aforesaid editor, the equal of Mr. Lincoln in the use of classic expressions and allusions, and he can dance a Highland jig on the top of a beer keg, or a Highland reel with a keg of beer in him, as gracefully as any Campbell or McXJregor. We would be the last to rob him of any of his honors. We commend him to the powers that are to be after the 1th of March. He would be a host in himself in the commissary department. Masom . We learn that E. Malonc. E(., of Ccntreville, Indiana. D. D. M., is actively engaged in disseminating the lectures and work as to I ! ;: ..-oiiimitte.- of eleven, elected at the last Grand Lodge. Mr. M. was selected for the Fifth District, and the well-directed zeal and energy with which he is pushing forward the mat ter, afford the best assurance that the work could n )t have fallen upon abler shoulders. The ten thousand Free Masons of Indiana have our best wishes for their continued prosperity. There are some indications of good improvements for the coming spring and summer. If peace is lnppi'y re tored to the country, capitil will ccme forward for investments that will help to build up our city and give employment to labor. There is no reason, aside from our political troubles, why the improvements the coming summer should not equal those of last.

The editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer, de droits of lecoming a benefactor to Republicans in pursuit of office, gives the following explanation of the way in which applications are treated at Washington. It is very correctly detailed : The country having become so extended, populous, anil so many patriots in it. that it has been found totally impracticable for the Presideut, or even heads of departments to attempt to decide upon the merits of candidates. They cannot per sonally know one in a thousand of the applicants. They are obliged to refer all local appointments to the highest officer of the Government or representatives of the people in or near each locality, awl consequently Congressional Representatives are considered the best referees. A member of Congress is supposed to know personally the prominent men of his party in his own district, and the ones most proper to appoint. Members, too, are always willing to take the. responsibility of these appointments, which is a great relief to the appointing power. If he errs his constituents can call him to an immediate account, and this course is considered safest under all the circumstances, both to Government and to people. Where there are no administrative Representatives in a District the Senators are consulted, or a Cabinet Minister if there is oi.e. Necessity has forced upon the Government this policy, and the cases will be very rare when a local appointment is made in any Congressional District against the wishes of its Representative. So nearly all the Government appointments can e agreed upon at home, without petitions and without going to Washington at all. But if an applicant chooses to make out his case on paper and take his chances among the pigeon holes at the Capital, his papers, if for a Presidential ap pointment, should be directed "To the President," Washington City, D. C. The President will probably never see said papers at all. They will be opened, and if applying for a postofice, will be filed in the Postoffice De partment. If for a Collectorship, in the Tresis urv Department, kc, kc. It would be as well ko direct all such papers directly to the heads of the Departments where office is sought. A clerk in each of the Departments takes charge of all such papers, folds them and hie- them in a desk set apart for the State from which they came. After the President is inaugurate! and his Cabinet is confirmed he calls them together daily for awhile to consult and determine first the policy of his Administration, then the disposition of the of fices in accordance with that policy. If radicalism is to be repudiated, these radical men can make themselves scarce, as all appointments above a certain grade are made by the President, acting with the advice of his Cabinet and the consent of the Senate. This preliminary question of policy may sweep away nine tenths of all the applications on file in the Department. It is customary to set apart a day to consider the appointments for each State. When Ohio's turn shall come, the Departments will be notified to send all applications to the White bouse to be considered by the Cabinet. Each bundle is first examined by the clerk in charge, and briefs, no ting the contents are prepared to accompany each bundle. These briefs only are examined in Cab inet Council, unless perhaps a letter from some distinguished person mentioned in the brief, should be called for by some particular member. The brief that contains a recommend from the Repre sentative of the District where the office is located is the one that will carry the appointment nine cases out of a ten. General appointments, such as L'nited States Marshals nnd Attorneys, will be governed generally by Cabinet Ministers where there is one, and where not, by United States Senators. Petition, although long as the moral law, without these indorsements, are not worth the paper on which they are written. Cabinet Ministers, Senators and Representatives are the legally constituted awl politically recognized umpires of nine tenths of all the Federal patronage, and office seekers will comport them selves accordingly. 01 At a late Republican meeting at Indianapolis, a Mr. Ketcham warned his friends not to quarrel among themselves, inasmuch as "the Democrat were hovering around like buzzards about carrion." So Black Republicanism is not only dead, but has become carrion. New Albany Ledger. XW City property wanted for which goe-d timbered land in Boone and other counties will be giTen.

Cotton nnd it Cultivation. In the year 101, cotton seeds were brought to i Virginia, und sprang up with -ie.it vigor on the anks of the Jarno- rix er. Vet nothing was ever bought of this till after the war of lude(endence. Two things have produced the enormous demand for the American staple. One is the cotton gin, and the other the superior character of the Anierican seed, and the cotton it produces. Africa and Asia, in fact more than half of those continents,

are capable of producing cotton, do produce on the hole, far more than America, nnd li.ix e pro duced it from the very earliest historic record. The microscope has demonstr ate-1 that the ban dages and cloths wrapped arou.id the m st an cieut mummies discovered in Egypt, arc made of cotton, and some of these of a very remarkable fineness and beauty. Indeed, it has been a matter of controversy for hundreds of years, whether cotton or flax is the real material used, nnd the microscope even has been dcclarel to favor the pretensions of both. In Turkey and in India cotton can be produced at two pence per pound, and yet American, at seven pence, will be proi'erred. because of the two advantages named. As oclemmg, the Amen can is superior, because of the cotton gin for one thing, but also because on the null bottom lands the weed grows larger and higher from the ground, hence it is not so apt to get mixed with sand, splashed upon it by the rain-. Order and discipline in picking the cotton, so as not to let it fall on the ground, wouid almost en tirely cure the complaint made against Indian cotton. Or a system ol assortment, for which different prices would be paid, would, by degrees, produce greater care. It has even been remarked that there has been a greit falling off in the the quality of American cotton within the last fewyears as to this matter of clemliuess, a iarge mm centage of sand, and even stones, having been left or put into the cotton to make it weigh more. It is t!:e quality of American cotton which causes it to command such a high price. Th I is partly dependent upon climate, partly upon soil, but chiefly upon the cultivation. No finer and more perfect climate for the cotton plant ha., been found, or piobablv will, than that of the Southern United States. Vet even there it grows well in such varieties of latitude, of hight above the sea, of soil and of moisture, that there will doubtless be found plenty of regions in India, w here the climate will do all that climate can. Even as to soil, we have seen the cotton doing well in the rich black mud of the Alabama prairies and catie brakes, w here it had been sown for twenty years successively without manure and without diminution of crop. And we have seen it on the red-clay hills of Georgia, or the sandy loam of South Carolina. Of course, the richer the soil the better. Cotton is a gross feeder, and the scanty hight will give a planter a broad field, when he h.is worked his soil too hard and too long. Some planters are now beginning to find out (what all will have to come to) the importance of manuring the soil. Thus far the thriftless plan of clearing new ground has been generally practised. It has been mainly because planted in virgin soil, that American cotton has incre used in the length of the staple upon that of the old world, and improved the seel and become so vali rtie. But the care which used to be taken many years ago in improving the seed, has been the chief foundations of the success ol America. The finest sea Lsland varieties were produced by a degree of care hardly conceivable now and quite gone out of practice. The master of the plantation used to go through Iii- fields with pieces of red cloth in his hand, tying one of these Iieccs round such plants as appeared the most lerfect in every particular. The cotton of these was picked and kept separate from all the rest, and the seeds separated by the hands of his own wife and children. These seeds were the only ones sown, and thus, by selecting the lest seed, and by great care bestowed on each successive culture, the seed has Iieen brought up to its present high standard. Much of this care is now relaxed. Jt is probable, by the use of the same pains and care, on a carefully enriched soil, equal results might be and will no produced in pai ls of Asia and Africa, but the American cotton producer need not fear any such competition. By the use of cultivators and steam, instead of the hoe of the negro, greater cheapness can be secured and greater perfection ir. keeping down the grassland refreshing the roots. Philadelphia Ledger. The Siyiiipatii)- and Counsel Uritish Cousins. of Ouv The following passage concerning American affairs occurs in (Jtieen Victoria's late speech from the throne : "Serious differences have arisen among the States of the North American Union. It is im possible for me to look without great concern upon any event which can affejt the happinfgs and welfare of a people purelv allied to inv sub jects by descent, and closely connected with them by the most intimate and triendlr relations. My heartfelt wish is that these differences may be susceptible of satisfactory adjustment. The interest which I take in the well being of the people of the L'nited State- can not but be increased by the kind and cordial reception given by them to the Prince of Wales during his recent visit to the Continent of America." In the debate which followed in the House of Lords, Lord Derby touched upon the same topic as follows: "It is impossible not to feel the deepest concern at the threatened disruption of that great Union, as it must effect the happiness and welfare of that country. There is no man in the counlry who would not view with the deepest anxiety and regret the disruption ot a community which, without claiming perfection for its institutions, and certainly under various disadvantage-, has yet procured for its people an amount of prosperity almost unparalleled in the world, and an amount of personal freedom only inferior and I think it is inferior to that enjoyed in this country. But it is impossible to look at that threatened d; ruption only possible tobe effected at the cost of the horrors of civil war w ithout looking also at the effects it would produce on the manufactures of this country. Its first effect, at all events, would le moft disastrous to one branch id' our industry. Unfortunately it does so happen 1 trust it will not be long so that we have been almost exclusively dependent on the cotton of America. It will be of the highest advantage if the threatened disruption should lead tlio-e who are nio-t deeply interested I do not think the Government can interfere with their individual exertions to turn their serious consideration to the best means of averting the danger involved in the failure of the supply of cotton from the United States by promoting an increase 1 supply from other sources. Such a supply can be lud in mmy parts of the world, provided means be taken for encouraging its growth ami import." So much for British sympathy which we hope is none the less genuine because mingled with considerations of self interest. Now for British counsel, which we may easily jndge on its own merits. Lord Brougham has just published an essay on the British Constitution, in the excellent preface to which he thus lays down the principle of pro gress in free countries generally: The history of our Constitution, in church and in State, is the history of compromise; nnd it re douuds mightly to the national pow er, for it records the wisdom and the virtue of the com in u nity in all its portions. The rival powers ol the Government the various intersts of classes the differences of parties all by their contentions have secured the rights of the people, and in sural the good management of their affairs. But 'be permanence of the structure through many conflicts is the result of the wise and virtuous de termination of all powers, classes, parties that mutual opposition shall end in mutual concession, to avert the risk of destruction. In Emrhnnl, the fiercest conflict- have lei to moderate changes, for the most part improvement, of the system. In Frince, the struggle; of patty have generally ended in revolution Here of course is no allusion to our particular troubles; but here below, in a letter addressed by his Lordship to the Birmingham Conference, it an allusion to our troubles, and a very earnest recommendation of the above mentioned principle as the true remedv for them: - Cansks (Vjr.), January 19, MA. "Mr Dear Hill I have again to cxprc-- my great regret at not beim able to attend the Conference. You may well le!ieve how deep an interest 1 take in it. There w ants some such thing to give one comfort in these times, when such tin toward events are, it is to be feared, in pregrejae, The difficulties unhappily intcrjoe.l by various e.ui-e 'some e, a kind not easily re a ..! the settlement of Italy under a constitutional govern ment, freeing her from the worst tvranni ol modern times, and. nlxive .ill. the alarm felt bv all the friends of hum in improvement at the rik of disunion in America, are naturally uppermost ia one's mind a' the present time. How much it is to be wished that the contending parties in both Italv and America would take a leif out of our books, and le rn the wisdom as well as the irtue of compromise and mutu il concession! Our Constitution is the genuine result of this wisdom. I heartily wish success to the conference, and be licre me, etc., Uboi t.ham " This counsel is to the point in every respect. Its justness can not be controverted. It carries with it besides the authority of one of the ri; est political ph .osophers and one of the most anient lovers of ivil liberty that the age has produced. It is counsel which every Republican leader should blush to gainsay much, more reject. It is counsel which we confidently believe the Republican masses will joyfully adopt the moment they havc a fair opportunitv. In the name of all that is right nnd proper anil decrn". let a fair opportunity be given to them. Ijouicrxlle Journal.

Strong efforts are making to come to a conclusion on the subject. The War Department to-day received corroborative dispatches that Gen. Twiggs had surrendered to the Texas rebels all the Government military property. Secretary Holt had dispatched orders to relieve him, but they could not have arrived.

Smith, Secretary of the Interior; Wells, Postmaster General; Cameron, Secretary of the Treasury. Dispatches to the Government report large expeditions leaving (Jalveston for the Rio Grande, consisting of six companies from Galveston and Houston and two from the interior. The object is declared to be protection to the frontier in the event of United Status troops being w ithdrawn. Col. Ford, an old ranger, commands the regi ment.

Mr. Wood, manager of the Presidential trip, called to report this morning to General Scott. The General told him that everything had been done as it should have been that he approved of every step, nnd President Lincoln did exactly as he hould have done when he left Harrisburg nnd came through ria Baltimore. Information is before the proper authorities tending to prove that an organized band of five hundred men have sworn that President Lincoln should never sleep in the White house. A detective, who joine I them, says the plan is as follows : The entire band are to occupy a position as near the President on inauguration day as they can ; one of their nu miter standing in the center of them is to shoot Lincoln with nn air gun, when the crowd of men around the assasia will so hnle him ns to render detection impossible. Further details may be obtained to-night, though for many reasons it is deemed advisable to withhold definite information. A document was presenteil to Mr .Lincoln to-d.iy signed by a majority of the Indiana St ite Senate, headed by the Lieutenant Governor, recommcuding Mr. Colfax for Postmaster General. Mr. Liae&l observed that this was a very strong recommendation. There seems to be a ery gtneral desire in many parts of the country that Mr. Colfax should hate the position indicated. The Peace Conference has been in se.-.-ioii all d i v. The debate w as the most spirited which has yet occurred. Mr. Guthrie and some of his friends became so much offended that they left the Hall, and Signified their intention not to go back. The convention at one time came very near breaking uj, hut better counsels prevailed! Mr. Guthrie subsequently returned, and business preceded. At seven o'clock some members thought that nielli sessions were probable. There is no hope of nn adjournment to-morrow. The Gov eminent has made more thin one effort to get possession of the bullion fund in the .- Orlem mint. Postma-'i-r General Kin''. . on the 19th. drew on Guisot, assistant treasurer of L uiisiai a. for $300,1)00. but his draft, like that ol Secretarv Dix, was dishonored The ilis'Mtcli received vestcrdav bv thp Serre. buy of War informing him that General Twiggs had surrendered the military property to the revolutionists at Texas was from the Commissary of Subsistence, and dated at New Orleans. Be a'dils that as a loan the use of the Government paean of transportation was allowed to take the Federal troops to the seaboard, and they were permitted to take with them three or four cannon and their ide arms. The Secret -try receive! this morning the documents from Texas, showing th tt as early as the 7th of February Gen. Twiggs was entering into negotiations with the I exans lor the surrender of the militarv pronertv. j Col. Watte was several weeks ngo appointed to -nceeed Gen. Twiggs as chief of the militarv tie partment ot I exas, but it appears he had not re ; hed there at the time of Gen. Tw iggs' surren iler, which is considered by the Government authorities as one of the "most disgraceful and atrocious act committel bv the Secessionists. The I Vai e Conlerence wa in MMeM until one or two o'clock this morning. The spirited !e bate previously commenced continued, and du ring lite night proceedings many if not ail the amendments were voted down, IcivieM BttiMtafl tially Mr. Guthrie's proposition with modified verbiage. This was in Committee of the Whole, but it will be voted on definitelv to-dav.

Washington, Tuesday, February 26. The Conference to-day in voting down the Franklin substitute are in the same position as a week ago. Some Southern Commissioners are much discouraged, but comforted by the assurance of those from other sections that they will, endeavor to reconcile conflicting view s on slavery j to morrow . The Senate portion of the Committee of Confere'i'-e on the tea and coffee amendments agreel to recele and recommend concur 1 rent action which will probably result in the pas sage of the whole bill. Mr. Trumbull on the part of the Senate, and Washburne, of III., and Rurlingame on the part of the House, waited on Lincoln and Hamlin to night, ead f rnUhed them with certificates frum ; Bieckinridge and Speaker Pennington of their ! election they formally accepted. The first proposition to be voted on to -morrow in the House is that of Bewail and Stout, recommending a National Convention. A memorial erat received to-day signed by all the Rc; iiblicans of the New Jet Be Legislature, MC iii!iiending Coifax fr Postmaster General. Bow m m has been appointed Superintendent of j Wtst Point. Senat as Seward and Sumner, the New York,

Pennsylvania i'nd Indiana delegation, Judge Harris, Gov. Hicks and others, called on Mr. Lincoln to-day. A number of Virginians also had an interview ami arc highly pleased w ith the President elect. A resolution was submitted to the Peace Convention by Mr. Some-, of Maine, to protect free speech and freehtm of the press in the Territories, and was voted down by a .-mall majority. It is understood that the Government intends to in-litute proceedings immediately on the treason case of Gen. Twiggs. His movements has greatly damage 1 secession in the bonier Slates. The Secretary of War and Gen. Scott favor im mediate action in his case. Gov. iioutw ell and delegation of New England men are here urging Gov. Banks as Secretarv of War. Memorials signed by all the printers, publishers and booksellers of New York and Boston urging the appointment of Colfax as Postmaster General were prc.-ented to Lincoln yesterday. Mr. Van Wyck is still quite ill, but out of danger. Sixty members of Congress have signel a re commendation urging Thomas C. Theakcr member from Ohio, as Commissioner of Patents. Caleb Gushing, by request, hos given his opini ion on the question of the legality of the accept ances ot secretary rioyu. tte noius tnat authoritative decisions of the Supreme Court in previous cases of a like nature the Government is liable for their acceptances. Secretary Holt has addressed a letter to the Governor of Louisiana deiuandinir the restoration Government property seizel in New Orleans. He denounced the seizure as an atrocious spoliation. tct ot nagrant and Governor Moore retumel the letter, with the indorsement that when addressed in the usual language of official intercourse, he would consider the matter. Advices from Montgomery state that President Davis has tendered the BOoMM of Commissioner to Europe to Wm. L. Yancey with power to obtain recognition of the Southern Confederacy. The hotly contested election in Georgetown, D. C, yestenlay, resulted in the election of an anti-Democratic Mayor. Secretary Floyd recently boasted that he had so distributed the arm v that no considerable force could be called against the Secessionists under two months. Major Anderson writes from Charleston that no unusual preparations against him have been recently made, ami that some works already thrown up arc apparently abandoned. Washington, Wednesday, February 27. The city authorities waited on the President this P. M , to take lea' e of him. A complimentary short address, by the Mayor, was pleasantly responded to by Mr. Buchanan. The authorities then called on Mr. Lincoln who warmly welcomed them. In response to the Mayor Mr. Lincoln said much of the bad feeling between the Ninth and South was through misunderstanding, and he beggel to say on this occasion, that he never had feelings other than kindness toward his fellowcitizens, he had no desire or intention to withhold any of their rights, und expressed the hope that they would be better pleased w hen they come to know each other better. The Peace Conference has adjourned sine die. and many of the Commissioners have already left for hime. The propositions before the Peace Conference was voted on by sections. The first was in reference to dividing the territory, and was barely adoptel. Indiana did not vote at all; Kansas and New York were divided; North Carolina, Virginia and Missouri voted negatively. The result was 8 to 7, and but for the temporary absence of one of the New York Commissioners it w ould have been a tie vote. Ex President Tyler communicated to Congress the proposition, but the House has not been ulli dally informel of its contents. Some of the Commissioners say if the conference has been productive of no other good results, it produced a most friendly feeling among them. A soldier killed a seargent in the Capital Hall this afternoon by shooting him, the latter having had the former punished. The heads of the departments, clerks and judges of the Court of Claim-; paid farewell visits to Mr. Buchanan to-day. The Senate, after an executive sessiou on army apointments, directed them to be returned to the President. Later private telegraphic advices from Texas say the arterial at San Antonio, has been taken possession ot by Texas troops, as well as some military ports in northern Texas, and cannon and other munitions at Brazos, Santiago and Browns ville w ere also seized. A report is prevalent here to-day that General Twiggs has been shot by a soldier, but these ad viees don't mention it. Partial returns from Han-is, Galveston nnd Austin counties, give an overwhelming vote for secession. Geu. Scott has ordered a salute of 100 guns to day in honor of the Peace Congress. Qmm, Cass left yesterday for home. The leading members of the Peace Conference from the lonler States express satisfaction with Franklin's plan of adjustment and express the de tei munition to make it a leading issue at the ap pro ach ing election. They mention that their States can be hehl in the Union by it. Crittenden is confident that the Virginia Con vent; at will acquiesce. At a meeting of railroad officers held yestenlay to arrange a schedule, the great Southern ni til so ns to avoid the seceding States will probably go by the ltaltimore & Ohio Railroad to Coluuib is and Cincinnati and across Kentucky direct to Memphis. Advices from Charleston state that shortly after the arrival of Jell". Davis at that city he paid a visit to Fort Sumter and had a long interview with Major Ainler.-on. It was afterwards u'i en out in Charleston that there would be no fight at Fort Sumter. The Yirginia Commissioners left much dissatisfied w ith the result ol their labors here. They maintain, however, that Virginia will not secele unless coercion be attempted by the administration. A member of Gen. Twiggs' staff' now here says that Gen. Twiggs had declined entering the service of Georgia and will also decline serving in the Southern Confelonrv. The rumored death of Gen. Twiggs was received here from several sources. The story is that Gov. Houston sent his aid to Tw iggs to remonstrate against the melit.itel treachery when an altercation ensued which revdtel in the aid shooting Twiggs dead. The rumor still lacks confirmation. The Senate today w as in session upon thecorresjiondeiice between the l'nited States and Great Britain concerning the eise of the fugitive slave Amlerson.

AN APERIENT AND STOMACHIC PREPARATION OF Iron, purified of Oxygen and Carlton by r mbustion of Hydrogen sanctioned by the highest medicinal authorities, b th in Europe and the l'nited States, and prescribed in their practice. The experience of thousands daily proves that no preparation of Iron can be compared withit. Impuritiesof the blood, depression of vital energy, pale aud otherwise sickly complexions indicate its necessity in almost every conceivable rase. Innoxious in all maladies ju w hich it has been tried, it has proved absolutely curative in each of the following complaints, viz: Def'ility, .Verroll Affectum, Emaciation, ynpept til, Constipation, Isiarrhea, DyeUery, Iiici4etU Conumjtiiin, üTfiilou Tuoerculnsit, Silt liheutn. Mismenxtruiition, !l7ii7ea Chlorosis, I.t'rtr i'mijlaiuts. Chronic Headaches, Rheumatism, Intermittent Fererm, J'imjJ, im the Face, dx. In cases of General Debility, whether the result of acute diseases or of the continued diminution of nervous and muscular energy from chronic complaints, one trial of this restorative has proved successful to an extent which no description or w ritten attestaticn weuld render redil.le. Invalids so long bed-ridden as to have very nearly become entirely forgotten in their own neight-orhoods, have suddenly re-appeared in the busy world, as if just returned from i l oiracted travel in a distant land. Some very signal in -'.mces of this kind are attested of female sufferers, emanated victims of apparent maramus, sanguineous exbaii; tion, critical changes, and their complication of nervous ml dyspeptic aversion to air and exercises for which the physician has no name. In Nervous Affections of all kinds, and for reasons familiar to medical men, the operathtn of this preparation of iron must necessarily be salutary, for, unlike the old oxides, it is vigorously tonic, without being exciting or over-beating; and gently, regularly aperient, even in the most obstinate cases of costiveness, without ever being a gastric purgative, or inflicting a disagreeable sensation. It is this latter property, among others, which makes It so remarkably effectual and permanent a remedy for Piles, upon which it also appears to exert a distinct and specific action, by dispersing the local tendency which forms them. In 1 1. -1 ; .a. immmerable as are its causes, a single box of these Chalybeate Pill has often sufficed for the most habitual rases, including the attendant costiveness. In unchecked Diarrhea, even when advanced to Dysentnry, confirmed, emaciating, and apparently malignant, the effects have been equally decisive and astonishing. In the local pains, loss of fiesh and strength, debilitating cough, and remittent hectic, which generally indicates Incipient consumption, this remedy has allayed the alarm of friends and physicians in several very gratifying and interesting instances. In Scrofulous Tuberculosis, this medicated iron has had far more than the good effect of Ihe most cautiously balanced preparation of Iodine, without any of their wellknown liabilities. The attention of females can not be too confidently invited to this remedy and restorative, in the ease peculiarly affecting them. In Kheiini.it ism. both chronic and inflammatory In the latter, however, more decidedly it has been invariably well reported, both as alleviating pain and reducing the swellings and stiffness of the joints and muscles. In Intermittent Fevers it must necessarily lie a great remedy ami energetic restorative, and its progress in the new settlements of the West, will probably be oue of high renown and usefulness. No remedy has ever been discovered In the whole history of meilicine, which ezeits such prompt, happy and fully restorative effect. Gtod appetite, complete digestion, rapid acquisition of ctrengtli, with an unusual disposition for active and cheerful exercise, immediately follows iu use.
