Gf SANDS SARSAPARILLA--The nu-
merous unsolicited testimonials from individuals
of the highest responsibility, show in the most
conclusive and satisfactory manner, the powerful
agency this preparation possesses, in arrcsting and
curing diseases of the glandular and osscpus sys-
tens. In its composition, on which much of its
activity and value depend, the most potent sim
pies Of the vegetable Kingdom arc united, pre-
senting preparation, differing entirely in its cha
ractcr and operation from any other now in use.
Under its restoring influence, strength and Sigor
arc impaired to the exhausted system, and healih
succeeds disease upon the same principles that
Spring succeeds to Winter and the earth is cloth
ed in vcr,lant beauty under the genial influence
of refreshing showers. Its approval by Physi-
scians and men of Science, and the uniform sue
cess which has marked lis use, furnishes proof
sullic lent to convince every candid and discerning
mind Of its great superiority and value.

under Command of General Twiggs left the
city on the 9th uIt: for Vera Cruz, conse-
quentiy we may soon expect letters and
news from the army by it. General Pat.
terson and train had arrived at the capital.
The Mexican Congress had a quorum on
the 9th ult., but nothing Of importap &C was
expected to result from its deliberations.
1t is said that some design was entertain
ed by the Mexcans Of sending Commis-
sion to Washington to solicit the appoint
ment OF Commissioners to meet at Havana
and arrange the terms of treaty of peace.
This however Is not much to be relied on.
and from all we can learn the prospects of
aspeedy peace are as distant as ever.

Increase of the ARMY.

The National Intelligencer of the 23rd
ultlmo states that in the Senate, on the day
previous, there was reported from the Military
Committee, bill to add ten Regiments to
the present force of the Regular Army
This promptitude on the part of the Commit.
tee is commendable; for: if it be necessary
TO add this force, amounting nearly to that
OF the whole army of the United States, as
1t stood two years ago, to the existing Army,
1t cannot not be done too soon.

The proceedings Of most interest 10 both
Houses OF Parliament since the opening of
the session, had been those connected with
the financial condition of the country.
The New York Express remarking
upon the news by this steamer says -
The news by the Hibernia will disap.
point many who had anticipated favorable
accounts as to prices. There has been
small decline in cotton and breadstuf4s, but
this decline will have very little influence
on prices here, in the present condition of
our market. The stock of cotton here is
uncommony low, and at the South the
planters are not sending their crops to mar
ket. AS to flour and grain, our receipts
from the West are suspended for the pres.
enf, by the close of ofnaviga,ion. Both farm.

Congressional.

Affairs at Washington are assuming quite
an interesting aspect and the members all
seem eager to go into a discussion upon the
war question. The resolutions Of MIR. Cal
houn came up for discussion in the Senate
on the 2O,h ult., on motion Of him TO make
them the order of the day for the first Mon
day in January which led to an animated de-
bate
Mr. Allen asked leave to define his mean
lng-whether he intended to oppose any
cession ofterritory for indemnity.
Mr. Calhoun replied he in,cded, first, 10
establish the position that it was not the in
tentlon OF this Government to DESTROY the
nationality of Mexico, which, he feared,
would be the result and, secondly, to place
himself properly before the country.
MIR. Dickinson inquired whether his tNir.
D's) resolutions were to be included in the
motion.
Mr.. Calhoun replied in the negative
Mr. Allen objected to speedy action
MIR. Calhoun thought the question, as he
proposed it, should be promptly met. He
could not believe much division on it here
or elsew here.
Mr. Allen desired that tho resolutions
should go TO the committee on Foreign Re-
lations
Mr.. Calhoun explained. EIe did not in
tend to touch the question Of possessing ter
rltory for indemnify; his resolutions con,em-
plated specific purpose, merely expressing
an opinion rs 10 the Nationality OF Mexico.
He hoped the resolutions would not be taxi
ell out Of his hands, until he had an oppor-
tunity fbeing fully heard.
MIR. Cass declared that it would lie un-
wise to act according 10 the declaration of
the resolutions at this juncture. He knew
ofno serious desire to annihilale Mexico
MIR. Calhoun was glad to hear the decla-
ration, and hoped the Senator might be Sc
cure in his opinions. Men and money were
wanted, and he desired to know for what
purpose.
MIR. Cass cared not to know how the war
commenced; he would vote means to prose-
cute It to secure an honorable peace.
No disposition was made of the resolu-

trict of Columbia. II conformity with the
practice invariably observed since the repea!
of the 2lst rule, a motion was made to lay

was ayes 81, noes 81. Mr.. Winthrop then
voted in the negative, and the moli n to Law

continue at its last point, or fall even below,
it will be sufficiently high to keep up the

in mind that the prices of flour, and all
kinds of grain, are uncommonly high at
the present moment, and the farmer, if he
