rs GEM SCOTT ar TIE oAPIToI..


We have nothing as vet, to confirm tue FuIhOF
that Gen. Scott had taken the city OF MeNlco.-
While we feel confident that by this time, at
least, he has entered the capitol, and very
serious resistance, the statement that ne was IN
Mexico, on the 9TH July, wants confirmation, ana
for the reasons set forth by the Plcayune. mat
paper Of the Sd inst. says:
The brio Mary Jane has also arrived from Tam
pico having left there on the 10th p!t. 90 lar as
we can learn, the latest accounts from iamplco
make no mention whatever OF zen. 0cott FIctO-
nv. Letters of the 25th in abundance nave Peeh
received in town from TamPlco. ihey say MOI d
word of the entrance said to have been made on
the I7th-eight DAYS previously. 1t is clear tnat
there was no such story current IN lamPico--
Private letters wouldhaye mentioned IT. ana CaPt.
Hussey. of the Mary Jane, would have heard oil
if. Heheard nothing ofthe kind. How far COM
munications between Tampico and the Capitol
have been interrupted by the late expedition Oh
Col. De Russy. we have been unable 10 learn ];
we nave no later Mexican papers by either OF the
arrivals. But even were the usual mail entirely
broken up it would seem asif so importanta event
as the fall of the Capitol must inevitably have
reached Tampico in s or days, transmitted from
mouth to mouth
We have taken some pains to follow to their
sources many reports in relation to Zen. SCOTS
position We sill incline to the belief that he
lid NOT march fom Puebla before the 18th. BY
the map most u vogue PuebIa is eighty-seven
miles mil distant from the capitol, and we do not be-
I t,, that his march will be entirely unopposed.
We have thus barely indicated some points which
the readerene-b consider IN forming his opinion
It is now s}s at ID that GU. next intelligence from
Vera Cruz Is be brought by the Fashion. She
left here on Thursday, the 22d ult for that port
and should there be intelligence OF Importance to
be communicated, it is thought she would return
at once. The interval to be employed in specu-
lation we hope may be short, for there is manifest
ed an extreme anxiety for full and authentic ac-
counts.

ExtL1slr POSTAGE ON AMERICAN LETTEKs.--
The Washington Union states that, on the report
Of Major Hobbie, giving notice OF the demand by
the English governments for the foreign as well
as inland postage on letters by the American mail
steamers, the Postmaster General instructed him
to give notice to the Postmaster General of Great
Britain of the abrogaton OF this contract at thH
expiration of 90 days, agreeably to clause reserS
ed therein. Further information has been receiv-
ed from Mr.. Hobbe indicating that lie was still
negotiating with the British Postmaster General!
but that nothing definite had been agreed on.

MORE AID AND COMFORT" I'VE learn from

Mons CoNFIRMATIoN.-A letter in the New

says:
8 In the hotel where am is Mexican gentle
man writing history of the war; and one-hali OF
his material is from the Mexican potion of the
American newspapers. Corwins speech is his
text book. The anthor is in high glee to think

TIE $4,000 REwARp.-The Wings OF Georgia,
as we learn from the Free Press offer the above re-
ward to any one who will produce proof that either
the President or any of his Cabinet has eithera son
or son-in-law in our army in Mexico. The 'resl-
dent, we believe, has neither SONS nor daughters.
and the Hon. Secretary of State has never been
married. As far then as they are concerned, the
Wings Of Georgia have run no risk in Offering the
$4,000 reward. AS it regards the other members
Of the cabinet, we are not sufficiently acquainted
with their domestic relations, TO speak OF their
ability to furnish this additional test of their pa
triotism We venture in the name of the Demo-
cracy, however, to offer similar reward to any
Wing who will prove that either of them have
ever given encouragement to the enemy, by VIII RI
the war, and abusing their own country for en-,
gazing in it. They have always faithfully and
firmly stood up in defence of their county,
whilst Webster Crittenden and Corwin, have been
doing all in their power to give aid and comfort To
the enemy. Webster and Criitepden have sons
in the war, we admit; but that seems to be very
unsatisfactory kind OF proof as to the patriotism
of the fathers, and if the Secretaries referred to
had nothing else to ODER they would be in a bad
way indeed. Winchester VHginian.

ton of high tariff and low tariff seems no longer
debata6le question. Politicians have dropped
the subject from their voca5ularies, and the pro-
liability is that the present tariff Exchanged at all,
will be ultimately changed for one still lower.

BAsAM WILD CHERRY

has already cured many such cases, and will cor
| taiply restore many more from The grasp Of The
.grim vlsaged monster" if those afflicted will
| but try il.
Do not say, 81 have tried this or that and 4,
did me no good" but try this; and if. after usino
! it, YOU are not in some measure restored. then
you NAV we'll despair.
EAsTMAN's CONCENTRATES BALsAM or Wu.n
CHERRY has cured many cases. Here is the
proof in short. The certificates are in full a.
round each bottle. --se
Robert Carter of GAINESVILLE, Ohio. was attack.
ed with pain in the side, hard dry cough. and
! difficulty in breathing. These symptoms IN
creased rapidly, until at last he was BROUGHT to
that fearful stage where tho cold night sweats
commenced, which presage a speedy dissolutiot. i.
of the spirit from the body. AT this time he com
menced using Eastman's Concentrated Balsam
of Wild cherry, having previously used many
remedies to no purpose. Before he had used one
single bottle, he was restored to complete health,
and has continued ever since. Read bis cor
tificate on the wrapper
RI. Crowell, of Putnam m. Giaddic certifies that
he cured of severe and distressing cough,
sweats, by the use of Eastman's concentrated
Balsam of Wild Cherry. His cough and op.
preston for breath was SO severe that he could
not lie down.
Mahlon Davis, of Deerfeld, Morgan county,
Ohio. states. that daughter of his was in a de-
cline for six or seven years. with severe cough,
pain in the side and chest, and other symptoms
indicating Consumption. She tried various rem
edies among which she used seven bottles of
Wistar,s Balsam of Wild Cherry, which was not
of the least benefit to her. She, as last resort,
(and many others will do,) got bottle of
Eastman's Concentrated Balsam of Wild Cherry,
and was cured.
Do you2believe now9 We might extend the
list of cures effected by this medicine. but of
,,b,4 nofb bol;o IL, r
more would no. strengthen your belief. These
certificates are not fictitious stories, got up for
the purpose of selling the medicine. IF you
doubt; write to the persons visit them and see
the bloom of health covering the cheeks of those
so lately on the verge of the grave.
Again we say, before it is too late. try bottle
of Eastmans Concentrated Balsam of Wild
Cherry, if you wish to save yourself from death
in "Consumption's ghastly form'
