Very respectfully, &c.
To WILLIAM l.. MAcNEN2I&, Esq, N. York.

LIEUT. LEWIS NELL, OF CLA&EE.-Thc nu-
rnerous friends OF this gallant young officer will be
ralilcd to hear OF his return III safety TO the bo-
som OF his family in Clarke county, after encoun-
trring the pcrils u the battle field, in which he so
distinguished himself as the Ad.ntant Of that in
trend and noble warrior, Col. tlarncy OF the Uni
ted States Dragons.
Lieut. NeiH ii Will be remembered, was twice
wounded i'll Mexico, while endeuvoring 10 capture
a party of Lanccrs near Vera Cruz. His wounds
were severe first, but pleased 10 see, upon
his arrival III Winchester yesterday, that lie near
" recovered from them. Although IN apparently
good health yet Lieut. N. looks rather" worse The
wear of "A Mexican climate, which. to say nothing
oi the pers OF war, is always apt to treat the Un-
accmAtrd rather roughly. Alter such usage,
however this young officer can return to his own
Valley home, with assurance oil finding there
every thing to promote and to recruit his health.
We should think that after encounlering the
burning sand plains OF Mexico, a mere sight of the
Valley ofNirginla it now appears mall Its fresh
ness and beauty, ould OF Itself restore soldier
to his wontcd robustness and vgor.
Are not the good people OF Clarke county to re-
ward the gallantry OF their young county man by
the presentation OF such sword as it would be the
pride OF Il soldier to wear! Need we say more

THE SUICIDE At PIrTsBURG.-Fhe lady who
threw herself from the Monangahela bridge at
PIttsburg, on Thursday week, was Miss Richard
son, an exceedingly beautiful and interesting
Young lady. Itappears that for some time past,
she has been afflicted with sickness, which had
serious influence upon her mind, and kept her con-
fined within DOORS but on the morning of the sui
eide, she was thought to be convaIcsccns, niue"
so, indeed as to warrant her in leaving home, to
see her mantua- maker. But strange to say, i'll
stead of going on this errand, she directed her
course towards the MonongaheIa bridge, crossed
to the west side and then returned to the centre.
Here she stopped, took off her bonnet and tied
il 10 the wire cable, removed her slippers, climbed
upon the side wall of the bridge, about four feet
high, and then deliberately pitched herself head
foremost into the river! The height the bridge
is about tkirty-ive feet, and there but little
one loot of water in the river at the place.
She fell on her head, and OF course was killed in
stantly.

ILLNESS OF Mr.. WEBsTER.-We learn from
the Augusta (Geo) Chronicle, that Mr.. Webster
on Friday last, was still detained in that city by
rather a severe attack of remittant fever. He
had scarcely been able to leave his bed for two
days His physicians have advised him to return
to the North, and he authorses the Chronicle to
say that soon as recovered, he hopes then TO
get to Savannah by the way of Waynesboro' and
the Central road, and from Savannah to Charles
ton, thence to New York by the Southerner.

with what some call Liver Complaint, others,
Dyspepsia-be that as it may, did not dare to

on my stomach occasioning much misery. Dur
ing this time had taken many things recommend

did so, and found it was the very thing wanted.

tions-to my great satisfaction after taking three
doses of the cordial was so fully satisfied of its
good effects, l continued the medicine until had
used several bottles-and can now say am en-

wife has likewise taken it, who has been also per-

headache. Having frequently To ride on insssse-
back to another mill, about -four miles of in my
employ, my headache such occasions was
very severe. But to the medcine:-l commenced
taking it according to directions, the first two
doses gave immediate relief-the attacks soon
became less frequent, and on an attentive use of
the medicine has so far subsidized, that | seldom

that this cordial never has failed to have the de-
sired effect.

complaint-in addition to which she had serious

which pain quite alarming-her headache

PROPHECY not REALlzED.-lt is amusing to
refer to ofthe propiteEies which were uttered
in the public prints less than a year ago. We
quote the following:
1st. Within six months from July l, 1916 labor
will be reduced from Is togo per cent,--this will
be great depression Of labor.
I'd. BY the LIST of March, 1S47, one half e the
small factories especially Of iron and WOODEN. will
stop operating.
Sd. The products Of agriculture will be 5late-
rally reduced for want Of q home market, anH on
accountof the reduction oil competition in tho price
Of labor
4th. The banks will, in self-defence, be com
PEELED to curtail their circulation materials.
5th. Within one wear, government credi@ will
not be above par, and mGra likely. much belStw.
9th. In nine months. Exchange on England
will be ten per cent advance.

" have got wider of the fact fhe had tried,

one thing appears quite plain to our mind, and
that is, neither the "honorable" gentleman

freedom of the press is not thus to be trampled

DEPARTURE OF THE VoLUETEERs.-Cap-
taIns WILSON and DUGGAN, and their two
Companies of Volunteers from Edgecombe
county, sailed from Smithville on Monday
last. on board the schr E. S. Powell. They
are bound for Brazos Santiago, we understand.
The greatest harmony prevailed amongst the
volunteers. They have had a beautiful time
so far, and may they all land in safety we
humbly beseech. A more generous and noble
hearted commander can't be found than Gen'l
WILSON. We know him. His kindness and
attention to his companions-ln-arms, has en-
deared him to every volunteer in the whole
regiment. His gentlemanly department has
gained for him vast multitude of friends du-
ring the short time he has been In this place
and at Smithyille He carries with him the
we'll wishes Of ALL May he live to fight the
battles of his country and return to his native
soil, renowned with glory and honor, is the
fervent prayer of his friends. He Is gone
but we hope to return once more.
With Capt DUGGAN we have not the plea
sure of personal acquaintance, but from
what we have heard of him, he is high
minded and honorable gentleman-brave anc
magnanimous- in his manners anC
kind 10 his men. If he should come in con
tact with the enemy, he will not disgrace the
post he fills. Success attend him and his mel
in all the trials they may encounter.

GAGGING OF THE PRESS:

We have for the last few days witnessed
with surprise the proceedings of Congress
with regard TO the Editors of the Union. 1t
appears that the reporters of that paper had
used the words Bah and Oh, too often in their
reports of the proceedings OF the House, to
suit the taste of some of its members, and a
Committee of FIVE was appointed to investi-
gate the matter, and a resolution was introdu-
ced in that body to expel the editor and report
ers from the House. There were, however,
only eleven votes for, and one hundred and
thirty eight against, the expulsion of the edi-
tor and his reporters. Thus the matter ended
in the House of Representatives, much to the
credit of that branch of Congress. But the
spirit OF revenge did not stop here. The edi-
tor of the Union must be hunted down because
he has the independence to speak out his SEN
tIments and feelings for his country and the
executive. He admitted into his paper on the
9th, communication lecturing the Senate for
Its hardness in granting the necessary appro-
priations for bringing the war to close. The
honorable" Senator from Florida, mr. Yu-
lee,l considered it "a public libel upon the
character Of the Senate of the United States,
and forthwith offers a resolutions for the
expulsion of the editor of the Union from a
seat in the Senate chamber. This uncalled
for proceeding was under discussion some
two or three days before it was disposed of.
Thus wasting the time of the session in use
less debate, to crafty the whinis of Mr. Yulee.
We are not surprised at any attempt the Fed
eral party might make to restrict the freedom
OF the press, but when member of Congress
who numbers himself with the Democratic
party, rises in his place in the Senate chamber
to take away the rights guaranteed to the press
We are inclined TO the opinion that that mans
Democracy is not as deeply seated as it should
be-we are disposed to believe he is not pure
But we are utterly astonshed to find that
the resolution actually passed the Senate
bya vote Of - TO 81 We know not who
