her reasons for this short postponcnen than are con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howev-
er beg leg leave to add, that when this class was is
sed few persons, any, anticipated in the least, the
late panic IN the market which has almost para
lived every kind of business, and has caused such SIN
gular and unprecedented stagnaton in trade. The
distress of capitalists and mOnlcd institutions has not
been confined to any single state IN our conederacy,
but it has been severely felt from extremity ct the
country to the other and has been general in several OF
the oldest and weathest foreign countries. And it
will Tot be considered matter of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced recently the post
ponemen the drawing OF All important lottery, should
have similar effect on one ofmch greater magnitude
But il hoped, that happy change for these reverses
has already commenced, and that all classes Of our cit
gems every part OF the Union will soon participate IN
the returning tide of prosperity The scheme now Of
fered is by far the most attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented to the public in the United States; and
many very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with princely fortunes handsome add
tons to what they already possess
Those who have not yet taken an interest in this Lot

bored under this disease for aengtb OF inc. and tired
almost every remedy commonly employed for It's cure,
with very little if any effect, but Who after using the
Panacea, recovered quickly and entirely. He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
TO robust health from state Of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated sal'atons
had produced only the mischief incident to the use OF
mercury. II spoke likewise Of Mr.. Swain, personal
", acknowledging the generosity which he had SHOWN
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor ana Nv
the support even OF whole families until cure was ell
fec,ed The Professor mentioned that he had peeh
censured by Surgeons and Physicians tor recommend

interval between the resignation Of MIR. Camp
bell and The acceptance anil establishment OF
Mr. Dallas in the Department Of The Treasury,
he had great agency, stated, in the observ-
atoms which he presented to the committee at
the las, session, in obtaining loans Of money, &
in the application thereof, in the course of the
war, to the support Of our military operations.
BY reference to the documents in the Depart
ment OF war, it will be found, that that agency,
which was carried in many instances TO actual
loans, amounted TO several millions Of dollars,
and for which service, although his duties, al
ready great, were to an oppressive degree aug
mented by it, he never asked one cent. 1t is a
service, however, which forces itself 10 his re-

ration of claims which he deems just, when
