LETTERS TO MY AGENT IN AMERICA.

IhchniOnd, ptrgintd, Way2d, 1924:
DEAR SIR-It becomes me at this time, to
express to God my gratitude for the means he
had made use of, in restoring my long lost
health, by the use of a medicine called PoLa-
deiphis or India Ertract.' For the last five
years have been so grievously afflicted with
rheumatism, that have at times almost wished
for death to relieve me from my suffering
seeing this medicine advertised, sent for a
box, and do declare, that since have began
to use it have never felt pain, and am sure
that by continuing to use it for short time,
shall again enjoy my usual health, and be
able to support my family, as heretofore. In
closed, send you three dollars, for two box
es, which you will please to pack up carefully,
and Mr. Berney will bring it safe to me. You
may tell the world it ismy opinion, that the
Poludelphis is the only medicine in the world,
that will cure the Rheumatism. With joy and
gladness. Yours, WIN. G. MEYER.

Congress Proceedings of yesterday.


In rax HOUSE, oE REPREsEyrArIvEs.-Th
Table was again loaded with petitions and
accompanying documents, almost exclusive
" from revolutionary and other S ldiers, pray
ing for assistance; which, we have i've
ly hope, the present Congress are well dis
posed to grant
Mr.: McLane, of Delaware, the Chairman
of the committee of Ways and Means, report
ed Bill, making appropriations to large
amount, for those Pensioners already on the
roll; which bill was twice read, committed, and
made the order of the day for Tomorrow.
II was resolved, on motion of Mr.. Test,
that the Committee on Public Lands be in
structed to inquire into the expediency of re-
viving the law of the 18th May, 1924, provid-
ing for the extinguishment of the debt due to
the United States, by the purchasers Of pub
lie lands, with an amendment to the same, al
lowing discount of thirty-seven and half
per centum, as well on the money previously
paid, as on the balance to be paid, so as to
prevent, as far rs consistent with justice and
sound policy, onerous forfeitures from accru-
ing to the government. Another resolution,
analogous in character, was adopted at the re-
quest Of Mr.. Moore Of Alabama, instructing
the same Committee to inquire into the expe-
diency of making some provision, which may
secure to the person in possession of public
lands, the benefit Of the crop growing at the
time of sale; and also t. grant to those who
may have relinquished lands, under laws here
toiore PISSED, the presumption right in be-
coming the purchaser of those lands, at the
price such lands may have originally sold at.
At the instance of Mr.. Buchanan the Secre-
tary of the Navy was directed to lay before
the House the proceedings of the late Court
of ENQUIRY and Court Martial in reference to
the case of Com. Dayi Porter.
Mr.. Livingston offered a resolution, which
lies on the table one day by rule, directing
the Secretary of the Treasury to lay before the
House n detailed account, containing the
names ofthe several persons, to whom the un
claimed dividends ofthe funded debt appear
to be due; the amount due to each; the species
of stock on which they have grown due; and
the period since which the dividend has not
been claimed; and also to give like detailed
account of all such dividends, as having been
unclaimed for three years or more, have after
wards been paid to any one. appearing to re-
present the stockholders his representatives.

great southern mail yesterday morning. The
STEAMBOAT Mount Vernon, which carries the
latter, returned in the afternoon Of yesterday,
and reported to the Postmaster that II was I'M
possible, in consequence of the ice, to get
near the landing place in Potomac Greek,
consequently the mail she carried down was
not delivered, nor that from the South brought
up. The land transportation arrangement
South of Washington, commenced yesterday,
and We hope win hereafter be continued as
well through the summer as the winter.
