DIR. HULL'S
Vegetable Fever and AgUe and
Anti.Feyer Pills.

OF all the remedies ever discovered for the
~ safe, certain and effectual cure of the Ague
and Fever, or Chills and Fever, none have more
merited and received the appreciation of the public
than these pills. Upwards of eighty thousand
boxes have been sold, in only SIX States. within
the last twelve months, and over 10000 boxes of
these have been sold in the State of Alabama
alone. The proprietor has never known single
instance where these pills have failed TO cure the
Chills and Fever, where they have been used
strictly according to the directions accompanying
them. One box of these pills is sufficient to cure
two cases of common Chills and Fever.
Messrs. Pettgrew and Gray, of Spring Creek,
Tenn, writing under date of July LIST, 1915, say
they are entirely out, have sold ~ boxes in few
weeks, and not a single failure. They say they
never sold medicine which gave such satisfac-
ton, and cured so quick and etfectuay
0trJudge Forest, of Jonesboro, Alabama, was
cured by half box, after the physicians had ex.
hausted all their skill, and failed to cure him.
OR. F. Houston e. Co.. Of Livingston, Ala
bama, sold l44 boxes in a few months. Every
box of which they warranted to cure, and in no
one case were they returned.
GTDr. Mattison, of Benton county, Alabama,
says he never knew an instance where Hul's
Pills failed to effect permanent in all cases
Of fever. Price one dollar per box.

close OF March, with private adyices from other
parts of Southern Mexico 10 the middle OF April,
conveying the gratifying intelligence thatlhe peo-
pie OF Southern Mexico, in imitation of the patrl-
otie example OF Yucatan, were concentrating
their efforts, in unison with the Congress OF fn-
calan, then in session, for grand revolutionary
movement against The military despots of The cen
ire. The Congress Of Yucaan had refused 10 en-
terrain any propositions from Paroles, and cou-
rier, whom he had sent 10 Merida, TO request on
ly three hundred troops narrowly escaped with
his life. We translate a few Of the principal
political views OF our Mexican CORRESPONDENTS,
remarking that we place confidence in Them
"Having nothing 10 hope from Paroles but
monarchy in lis worst shape, or central power
usurping the independence Of the Departments
and Of the people, we again uniurl the banner OF
liberty, inscribing upon its tolds-no compromise
eih TIC ehietlains Of Monarchy, History bears
witness 10 our struggles for liberty. we have
perilled our lives in its defence, as have our
brethren of Texas and OF the other gallant
States OF The great Northern Union. Men OF
America, brethren by the holy ties OF human libcr-
", we shall rise in few days in these Southern
Departments, hoping TO rescue our beautiful Mex
leo from The hands OF Europe's minions. Bfeta-
rem OF the North We respect yon Tor your noois

But flhc central Juno melted by another pow
er, should war against you for receiving and pro-
iecling our sister Texas, you shall ind us pre-
pared 10 greet you in The Halls Of the Montezu-
mas"
These noble sentiments are much more beau
titul in the original Spanish OF our correspon'
/ dents We give their spirit. Such patriotism de-
mands and will receive cordial response from
The freemen OF America. The revolution had

u kesp anxiety on up-toe.
We learn from Captain GRIFFIN, and DOCTOR
\ BRloGS passenger, who has been several
munlhs with the army, that Capt.. WALKER, for
nsrly of the Texan revenue service, who has
hs.n Stationed between Point Isabel and General
T,yLoss Camp with body oitweny-tour vo-
lnp,eer Texan Rangers, found several OF the
cams which had started from the Point Tor The
Camp we're returning, and reported that the Mexl-
Fans we're on The road. He started from his
earp on the 2Sth, with his whole force, TO recon-
nore, and if possible, opeu communication
win Gen TAYLOR. He had proceeded as lar as
a,,5u: midway between Point Isabel and the
Camp. when an overwhelming Mexican ioIce
appeared very suddenly. A portion of his troops
were raw-lheSe he instructed 10 keep on his

lie was followed by the Mexicans until within
mile OF Point Isabel, where he arrived with
only two Of his men. Six others subsequently
came in.
Capt. Walker estimated the number of Mexi
cans he encountered at 1900, and he supposes thai
ar least 30 OF them fell during the fifteen minutes
which he engaged them. This force is supposed
10 be a portion of that which had al The last &c

Further from the Army.

The Mobile Tribune Of the 18th an
nounces the arrival at that port of the
steamer Fashion, which sailed from
Brazos on the morning Of the 9th inst,
which is little later than our previous
accounts. We copy as follows from
the Tribune:
On Sunday, the 9Th, the Fashion was
boarded by Capt. Nones, of the U. s..
schooner Forward, and left the follow
ing report:
s'U, S. schooner Forward, Captain
Nones just arrived from Solo la Marina,
where he exchanged signals with a
Mexican flag of truce; all WE'LL" What
this means is not stated.
Arrangements were making by some
enterprising men to run daily omni-

CONFIRMATION OF THE ATTACK UPON
TAMplco. New Orleans Bulletin

board the United States schooner Flirt,
off Brazos st. Jago, June 10th, which
it says should have reached US long
since; notwithstanding the delay in its
arrival, it contains intelligence Of in
terest.
The Flirt arrived off Vera Cruz on
the 9th, from Brazos st. Jago, with
Purser Watson, bearer of dispatches
for Commodore Conner, on board. A
Vera Cruz they found the steamer
Princeton and the frigate Raritan, en-
forcing the blockade. The officers ant
crews OF both vessels were well, anc

hearts favorably to the wings, who will
thus reap the reward Of appealing to
that sel6shness which enters SO largely
into mans composition, and which IS
never more Extensively displayed than
by soulless corporate institutions.
If we look philosophicolly at the tax
law, we shall find il as worthy Of con-
demnation for its final end, as on ac-
count of its derails and its unequal ex-
actions. 1t is manifestly an attempt to
build up great privileged class in our
midst, and to array the farmer, the
mechanic, &c., on the one side
and the members OF the monied inter
est on the other. The people are to
say what degree of success shall be ac.
corded to a scheme SO iniquitous, and
the fastening of which upon the state,
must crush both liberty and equality.
If we rightly read the signs of the times,
the people have no intention of submit
ting in quiet to whig usurpation, by en-
dorsing the tax law through a support
Of it at the ballot box. Thousands Of
honest men, who have hitherto yielded
an honest and hearty support to the
whig party, have come to the determl-
nation to no longer upheld a faction
which abuses the power it obtains for
the benefit of class whose extinction
would cause no loss to the community;
but would rather be beneficial to it.--
The October election will tell the tale,
and teach whig managers the danger OF
tampering with the rights of a people

tions, the expenses in three Of those
counties were as follows: Stark $972,
Morgan 1924 SO, Franklin $237 so.
An increase in those three counties OF
Sl86 O6. We warned the people last
year of the tendency OF whiggery
to extravagance, and cautioned them
against trusting their affairs in such
hands another time, or it would be
worse. How has our prediction been
verified? We will present the figures
for those tour counties for this one
item. In 1e46 the cost Of making the
assessments Of personal property was,
in Stark $745 SO, in Morgan $785 so,
in Franklin S633, and in Columbiana
SlO03. This shows that the people
have been benefited in three counties
by an increase Of $i85 oe, cents in
one item, by one years whig legisla-
ton, and the next year in four coun-
ties, the same item was increased for
the peoples benefit $94s4 90 over
whatit was under the Democratic law.
Give them another chance, and things
will be worse. n
In 1885, the leaders Of the whig par
ty declared their system was not per-
fect-that it required amendment and
improvement, and plead for an oppor-
tunity TO show what was the perfection
of their system. They had their wish,
and what have the people in return9--
Increased expenses, increased taxation,
and law which treats every man as
knave. They now plead for another
years power TO still further improve
their system. Shall they have 1t? 1t
remains for the people to answer. We
say trust them not, or they will cheat
you again. Be careful, be wary, in the
election Of your men; and unless you
desire to labor exclusively for the tax
eaters, see you don't elect wings.
