SANDs's SARsAPARILLA-The curative properties
of Sarsaparilla in cases of acute and chronic Rheu
matism, have only recently been observed and ac-
knowledged. It was long thought that preparations
of the root could only be used successfully in Scro-
fua and diseases of that class; but the high benef-
cial effects which have resulted from administering
SANDss SARsAPARILLA, in the most inveterate cases
of Rheumatism, have completely exploded that idea
Cochlcum was for time considered specific for
the disease; but it has been demonstrated that this
medicine, in many instances, causes the Meastass or
translation Of the complaint to the heart 1t is the
direct tendency of this preparation to prevent this
fatal result by cleansing the blood from all impuri
ties through which alone disease be converted to
the seat of life.

pamphlets and various papers.

COLONIAL SETTLEMENTS.
Mr.. SUMMERS, Of Va, offered resolution
calling on the Secretary of the Navy for the cor
respondence with Com. Perry, commanding on
the coast of Africa, in relation to the colonial set
Elements on that coast. The resolution was
adopted.
ARMY BILL.
Mr. MCKAY moved that the rules be suspend
ed, and that the House resolve itself into Com
mttee of the Whole, for the purpose Of taking up
the army appropriation bill.
Mr.. VANCE said that the private calendar had
not been disposed of, and as this was one of the
days devoted to business of that nature, he wish
ed the private bills not to be passed over.
The yeas and nays were ordered on MIR. Nc
KAY'S motion. and the rules were suspended
yeas 80, nays 81.
The committee then took up the bill making
appropriations for the support of the army. An
amendment offered by Mr. Mckay to reduce the
aggregate pay of the officers, from $l,500,OO0
to ISL POO, 900, gave rise to considerable debate.
The object Of this amendment was to make
the appropriation bill conform to the retrench-
ment bill heretofore passed by the House, by
which the salaries of the officers are materially
reduced. The amendment was supported by
Messrs. Hale, Mckay, Mcdowell, and others,
and was opposed by Mr.. White, Mr.. Brengle, and
others. #
The discussion gradually partook of a party
character, until almost every subject connected
with the politics of the day was lugged in.
Without taking vote, the committee rose and
reported progress.
The House then adjourned
