SUDDEN DEArH.-We are grieved to learn
OF the rather sudden demise of an estimable
gentleman, Mr.. Jos. H. SMoor, in the First
Ward Of this city, yesterday morning.
Mr.. Smoot was in his usual good health al

tention to his business as a merchant in George
town, but ere he had well entered upon the
present week, he is called to render last ac-
count to the Great Master of us all. Mr.. SIS

NOT NEUTRAL, BUT INDErENDENr.
We do not claim that we are for no party /;
but with nobler view and higher aim, say. we
are decidedly for all parties ; !. e. we advocate
principles, the carrying out of which will be
promolive Of the good of all parties, classes,
sects, and conditions of men. TO elevate and
ennoble those who have unfortunately become
degraded and sunken; TO bless and comfort those
who are walking in the light, and according to
the light they enjoy; to pity and persuade those
who foolishly reject the efforts Of the benevo-
lent to help them 10 oppose all kinds OF vice,
and to favor every species Of virtue:-These
are our objects, and they all are one. Neutral
we dare not be; in favor with evil we cannot
consent to live; silent upon subjects OF infinite
importance to man, we would not remain,
while we have power to utter syllable; and,
therefore, we feel bound, intead Of occupying
neutral ground, rather to stand upon the firm
basis Of truth, and speak out our opinions re-
spectfully but fearessly; upon all subjects
which may appear worthy OF public notice.

secret service mbney had been expended, and
copies of certain papers in relation to Alexan-

The President does not furnish the first part
of the information called for, and doubts the
propriety of doing so.
A resolution was adopted TO adjourn from
Thursday TO Monday next, for the purpose OF
cleaning the Hall and putting down the sum

The House occupied small portion of their

tribes in Oregon, :

DR.. Sweet, "The Natural Bone Setter"
We ask attention to the following communi-
cation from DR.. Smith. The reverend gentle.
mans statement is conhrmatory of what we
had previously heard, touching The unrivalled
skill OF DIR. Sweet in his useful profession. As
DIR. Smith suggests, all in this region who are
suffering from dislocaiions, should call on DR..
Sweet during his sojourn in Lynchburg:

services OF DIR. Waterman Sweet, the natural
bone setter, and in less than half an hour. he

sweet, have repeatedly written 10 me from

the settled opinion Of my medical friends. that

when done, would be unavaiing, from the
iact, that the socket had filed up, and coud

ANOTHER PRESENTATION,

Deeds of virtue and benevolence bear fruits
that endure through all time. He who con
tributes IN the least degree to the ametioration
of the ills incident to life, does more than The
hero Of an hundred bloody conquests The
one blesses, the other curses mankind. If
mankind generally were aware OF the LUXURY
there is in doing good, much Of the evil that
now afflicts the moral and social system would
cease to exist. The tear Of gratitude CONVEYS
more real bliss to the heart OF the good man
than volumes Of the empty praise OF political
adulation. He who is instrumental in the sal
vation of single creature from intemperance
has more cause for rejoicing than him who is
the idol Of the multitude, during its uncertain
and brief devotion.
We have recently been shown picture pre-
sented by Mr.. J. McGENN to ISAAC BEERS, the
proprietor of the Temperance Hotel in this city
for his phlanthropic efforts in the cause OF
temperance. It graphically and truly pour
trays the drunkard's fearful course.-The sew
eral gradations, from youthful spree" to
the selEmicide committed under "delirium
tremens,' that mark the gloomy pathway OF
the drunkard, are faithfully presented, and ap-
peal forcibly to the spectator. The donor is a
true TREND of the cause; and in selecting Mr.
Beers as the recipient, he has but paid just
and well-merited tribute to one of the mos
jealous, energetic, and sefsacrifcing friends
Of the holy cause of Temperance.
