WRlGHT's INDIAN VEGETABLE Pills
it is hardly necessary 10 speak in detail. At no
period of it's history has the reputation Of that med
cine stood higher, and we may say that no repu
| taton is likely to be more enduring. Adapted to
all constitutions, to every form of disease and to
all climates. Wrght's Indian Vegetable Pills are,
above every other medicine fitted for the use of
man under whatever circumstances he may be pla.
ctd At sea or on land at home or abroad, in sum.
ner's heat and winters cold, with common re
gard to the conditions of healthj and with Wright
Indian Vegetable Pills at hand, there is no excuse
for being sick, unless the constitution be utterly il.
reclaimable.
As our object is 10 state where the genuine rned
Cine can be obtained, rather than to give il an ex.
tended notce-which our limits forbid we shsl
merely suhjoin one OF two ofthe numerous les,
monias that have just come to hand. Hundred,

FROM THE ARMY.
Washington, Jan. 22-lO 2. M

washington, Jan. Z2-lU Il. M.
Passengers by the bark Mopang at New
Orleans, from Tampico, mentioned rumor
that yellow fever had broken out among our
troops. The Indiana officers had arrived
at Tampico, with the second Pennsylva MIA
Regiment, who at once proceeded to their
destination, supposed to be Vera Cruz.
: The schooner Sinas left BRACES on the 9Th
leaving Gen Scott there still, actively enga-
eed in furthering the transportation Of troops.
Gen. Taylor wasat Monterey, and Gen.
Worth at the mouth of the Rio Grande,
with the entire command.
The utmost secrecy prevailed as TO future
operations of the army, which were known
only to the COMMANDMENTS Chief. 1t isru-
mored tina; an officer of a regiment dispatch.
ed to Gen. Taylor, and an escort of ten men,
were cut off and the whole put to death.
Nothing is stated of the movements of
Santa Anna or the Mexican forces. The
correspondent of the Picayuae- says rumor
was current at Vera Cruz of the assa ssina-
ton of Santa Anna for opposing the decree
of Congress, but this letter was dated at
Anton Lizardo, Goth January, and probably
refers to other reports to the same effect
which ii is believed cannot be true.

Hon. Truman Smith.

The denomination of this gentleman as
the Wing candidate for Representative in
Congress from this district, is regarded with
special satisfaction, not only in Connects
cut, but by the Wings in all paris Of the
Union. The Wing papers which reach Us
from distance announce it in the most eu-
losistic terms Of Notwithstanding
that his talents and patriotism are appreci"
ated abroad as well as al home. He holds
prominent place in the hearts of all who
prefer an earnest zeal for the Right, to the
headlong Juror for Parry right OF wrong"
In spite Of the calnmny and abuse which
have been heaped upon him by unprineipled
partizans. he never was more popular with
the people Of his District than at this mos
ment. The unprecedented unanimity with
which he has again been presented for our
support at the polls, is an earnest OF an
equally unprecedented triumph, His course
in Congress will be vindicated by his con-
stituents. Wings of the District! see 10 it
that you come out of the approaching cons
test with your laurels untarnished !! And

Glorious news from AfetaWuIe
We heartily units with the N. Y. Fri
bune in expressing the highest pleasure
that on Friday last, The House OF Repre-
senta,ives of Delaware passed the Act for
the Gradual Abolition of Slavery in that
State by vote of IL yeas 10 8 nays
The bill must now 60 into the Senate,
WHARF we hope it will pass by an equally
decided majority, though we are not in
formed as to tie sentiments of that body
respecting it. Little Delaware will be
warmly received into the sisterhood of
Free States, if her Legislature shall have
the courage to relieve her Of The incubus
that has so long retarded her prosperity.
The Abolition of Slavery there, would
exert powerful influence upon the 9TH
er border slave states, and we shall expect
to see her example followed ere long by
Maryland Virginia and Kentucky,
The Legislature of Delaware has also
passed law to enable the people Of each
county to decide by ballOtwhether intox-
icating drinks shall be sold within their
limits.
