Vera Cruz that Father Jafanta had attacked the
train short distance The other side of Jaapa but
that he had been driven back by onr-roeps. with
loss on both sides.
p In addition to the foregoing, we have been
favored with the two notes following, the first of
which is translation from the Spanish
JALApA, August 20, f847.
The American army, after much suffering on
the road, has been again attacked at Dos Rios by
700 eueriIlas, and badly enough treated. Even
before their entrance into Jalapa, there yas some
firing. Last night. at 9 o'clock, the Americans
entered the city firing, and retrealing one minus.
He was lassoed by one of the guerillas. This
morning they sent flag of truce to- the Ayunta-
miento, (city council, to ascertain whether they
should enter as friends or foes but withourawait-
ing an answer, they began to enter,i and continued
up TO l, p m, when all got in. There are 176
wagons and S95 men, among whom 3l7 are
wounded and sick. Maj. LalIy is sick. The
horses are worn out; for which reason, it is sup
posed they will remain here for some time. 1t is
said that Farther Jarauta will attack them tonight
but nothing positive. ..... 4.Ha. ..as
The other note is as follows: sat, aeai.s
JALAPA, August %, 1847.
Major Laly with his command is sill here,
and will probably remain here some time. The
guerilas have all disappeared from this neighbor-
hood; but to where they have gone am unable
to say Aburto the guerilla chief died at Jaapa
few days snce-some say of wound received
in one of the attacks Oh Major Lally's command,
and others by fever. 'nt
= We do not entertain any doubt that the train,
as mentioned above, had passed Perote, and gone
on in safety to Puebia. ~. ...-
Intelligence reached Col. Wilson, on the morn
ing of the 9th ult., that Lieut. David Henderson,
Of Capt .FairchIds company of dragons, and
his party, who were sent out by Capt. Wells on
the 18th of August, to apprize Maj. Lally of the
approach of reinforcements, were all shot by the
guerilas. There is little or no doubt of the cor

ADDRESS OF THE" DEMocRATIc CoRREsPoND-
ING COMMITTEE"
This committee, apPoiRted by the democratic
meeting which was held in this city on the 9th
day of January last, met in the Office of Fl. l.,
Boon, in the capitol on Saturday the 4h instant,
and agreed upon an address to the democratic par
tv of the State, which will be found below.
The committee did not deem it absolutely ne
cessary to make any address to the democracy oi
Missouri, and hence the omission to introduce and
discuss several important principles IN poiltlcs,
upon which the two great parties differ widely.
The object of the committee was TO bring TO the
minds of their political brethren the important con-
test of next year, and to urge upon them the neces
sity of united and energetic action, in order to sure
and certain triumph. 1t will be seen that IN ref
srence to the county meetings, no particular day
is recommended The counties are urged to hold
meetings and select delegates to attend the State
convention but are left to fix upon such day
for their meetings as may be most agreeable and
satisfactory to them The democratic meeting oi
the 9Th of January having agreed upon the 4th
Monday in March next for the meeting of the
State convention the committee did not think that
il had any power TO change the day to different
time.
We take the liberty to request all the democratic
journals in the State to publish the address of the
committee.

Tennessee, and; on alighting, was recognized and
addressed as Averitt, by young man. formerly a
resident of Lgnchburg A private Interview took
place between them, and the young man then de.
ciured that the passenger was not Wm B. Averu,
the late teller, but his cousin of the same name
Before the stage departed, however, the individual
who had recognized him was observed to have in
his possession hundred dollarnote. This led to
suspicion, and Averett was arrested His clothing
was examined ond no name or initials discovered
on any article, except pair of socks, on which
were the letters W.B. A. He applied for Ha.

II searching for remedy for his own i'll
health which the prescription of the day had
failed 10 benefit, TO hit upon the composition OF
these Pills, and they proved entirely successful
in restoring his health. Their composition
was freely communicated to many Physicians.
and it was moi the design Of the Inventor that
they should extend beyond the private practice
of himself, and that his medical friends. Ap.
plicalions for them. however, began TO multi
ply, and he was advised by many Of his profes-
sional brethren, and other gentlemen, Of char
acier and distinction, 10 prepare quantity OF
them and place them in the hands of an apo.
thecary. Even this seemed insufficient, aud he
was urged 10 send them. by means Of agencies,
throughout the country. Calomel had long
been comm IN domestic remedy. There was
scarcely family in which uial of it was not
10 be found, and in which it was not used WITH
degree Of freedom from which q well inform.
ed Physician should shrink. A strange infdtu
ation Too seemed TO exist among many Of the
Faculty. Hardly case was prescribed for,
whether acute or chrome, in which caomel
was not given, in some stage of The disease,
without fear or reiection; aud thousands are
still suffering from its, pernicious effects. Cal
cine, and in some cases may be regarded as
essential, but il should not be stricken from the
list of domestic remedies, and be administered
only under the prudent and ijudicious advice
Of thoughtful Physician. Upon tiial, by many
Physicians and Others these Pills were found
to be substitute Tor mercurial preparations in
a large number Of cases, and hence their popn-
larity, and the large demand for them. The
idea of fobiaining Patent for them was never
entertained, nor has it been sought 10 this day.
1t was believed that by giving them a popular
form and circulating them through the country,
thousands would be benefited by their use,
who would, otherwise, never hear of the pres.
cription and never learn that preparation had
been compounded. which rendered the indis-
criminate and pcrnicious use of calomel un.
necessary. These were some Of the induce.
men,s which led the Inventor Of the Pills TO.
to consent that they should become an object of
public sale;
