Dear Sir: consider It duty owe to you and
70 the public, TO state that my son, who had been
afflicted for great length Of time with severe Bro-
ciiai affection and Uceraed sore troatwbich threa-
tened his lfenfter having been treated by the best
medical skill without success, efiecnay restored
TO health by your Extract Of ,SarsaParlla, Is
or IS months ago, and has enjoyed perfect health
ever since. Such an invaluable remedy should be
known throughout the extent of the country; and

after by all the afflicted. Wishing you abundant
success,
am most respectfully yours, &C.,

THE sTANDARD pRkPARATrON:
On. scHwARTzE's COMPOUND EXTRACT
OF SARSAPARILLA. VI

| ~ Ne oAteSAT AhlA<LAY
The astonishing success with which disease has
been combaied BY this powerful remedy for the last
Three years, in the District Of Columbia md other
places has induced the propretort0 present its claims
IN more conspicuous manner, under sincere con.
yiction that its invaluable and unerring remedial
virtues will benefit thousands under whose notice
IL may come. Therefor, he would urge II upon all
who read this not to LEI II pass nnnotced, but give
l. that attention 10 whicht Is so deseryedly emit
tied.
The following are some OF the diseases which
will testify TO it's neyerfniling efficacy viz;
Scrofula, many iom
lncipient stages Of Consumption when proceeding
from scroiuons habit
Chronic Rheumatism Bronchitis;
Dyspepsia, when proceeding from hepatic derange-
ment.
Constitutional Syphilis; General Debility;
Habitual Costumes; Cutaneons Affections and
all diseases arising from deranged secreiions or i'm
purities OF the blood.
Persons taking this remedy should not grow I'M.
patient or become too sangune In their hopes of a
rapid restoration to health ms its efficacy depends
measureably upon the strength of constitution and
the length of time that disease has prevailed; there
fore would say TO all who may feel disposed TO
Its virtues not TO commence before they are fully de-
termned to continue its use, whether Il be one bot
tie, dozen, or more, as no two cases are exactly
similar, or can be relieved by any stated number in
anticipation. 49, 'fs He
The accompanying certificates are from gentlemen
Of Responsibility resdingn Washington city, and not
from those abroad, TO whom would refer all those
who are In the least doubtful. Hundreds of tesii-
monials be produced as TO efficacy, but as they
are seldom ever reod or credenco given to them,
have thought few respectable certificates, coming
from gentlemen well known would suffice.
CERTIFICATES.
Dear Sir: Having through the agency Of your
extract OF sarsaparila accomplished most remark
able cure in the case OF my sister, deem impor-
tant to make all acquainted with her case who may
BIO similarly afflicted, it may be the Of So
wing many from premature death. About tour
years ago my sisters health began TO decline, and
continued TO do for the space Of two years. when
she was suddenly attacked with a bronchial nIiec-
ton orwhnt is commonly called bronchitis. Hav-
Ing been attacked with the best medical skill with
out benefit, and finally pronounced incurable, she
determined to try your extract of sarsarin, and ai
ter the use of the very limited number Of three bot
ties she was completely restored. and has enjoyed
better health than she ever before experienced
Hoping that this description Of her case will come
under the notice of many who may be similarly af-
ficted, am most respectfully, yours

The Fair.

The Fair held by the Episcopal ladies was
well attended on Thursday evening, notwth-
standing the inclemency of the weather. The
receipts of the evening amounted 10 about one
hundred and sixty or seventy dollars-which
was very fair. The tables presented beau
tiful appearance, containing things useful and
ornamental too numerous to mention. How
in the deuce the large room, which in the
morning we saw naked and partially Uttered
with rubbish, became so suddenly transform
ed into such paradision region, we are una
BILE to satisfactory make out. Anyhow the
paradise was there-at least the angels were.
Every one appeared to be pleased-we were
most decidedly SO, and enjoyed ourself as we
always do whenany chance is offered. How
ever, we confess that we did not like the idea
after being set up at auction, with young la
dies as bidders, Of only running up to six bits
even after offering to throw in our hat. Wl
fear Stinson has been the means of this un
warrantable depreciation in the value Of Edi
tors.

A Walter Savage Landor
in alluding to the Poussin difficulty; makes
the following comparison between the Presi-
dents of America and France: 'At the head
of the United States is a brave, temperate
a sagacious man." After apologizing for
drawing comparison between the two men,
he then proceeds: SIN one we behold the
grave, sedate, veracious Englishman of Eng
lands commonwealth, animated not indeed
by better spirit but a spirit moving over
vast and discordant populations, with strength
to direct their energies and assign theil
courses. The other President is without any
first principles, any determinate line of con-

fore inter shall have SET in, all the emi-
grants viii have safely been brought over
In concluding this lengthy letter, l will, by
way Of advice, say 10 all, irrespective of per
sons, better stay at home and content your
self with what you already have than to in
cur the risk and uncertainty Of rapidly accu-
mulating a fortune in California. Men hav-
ing families and are of limited circumstances
cannot incur the risk Of loosing their time
and expenses. Those who are we'll situated
in life have no need Of more of this worlds
wealth. And the influence which such
journey and residence out here is calculated
to exert upon young men is baneful in the
extreme. But few will escape the conta-
gious influence of gambling and drinking, and
Tar better will it be to remain stepped in pow
erty, than to become poor indeed" in the
loss Of moral and sober habits and an utter
disregard to all sentiments of a religious
character. To parents who have a controll-
ing influence over their sons l would say
keep them away from California if it is pos
slbe so TO do. J. NEELY JOHNSON.

Policy OF THE ADMINIsTRATIoN.-Th
Washington correspondent of the New York
Courier and Enquirer says:
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.
The policy of the administration, so far as
relates to the internal affairs of the country.
will soon be developed, and the prediction
may be ventured with some degree of conf
dence that the message of the President and
the reporls of his secretaries will command a
degree of popular favor that will astound the
adversaries who have so unscrupulously as
sailed every act that has been developed. and
attempted to prejudice the public mind
against every measure which was supposed
TO be contemplated. The policy will in all
respects be liberal moderate, and enlirhten-
ed-running to no extreme, but preserving a
safe and consistent attitude, while abandon
ing no recognized principle of Whig faith
No other measures than those framed upon
such basis can succeed, with the present
composition of Congress- and it is part of
wisdom and practical craftsmanship to adapt
the means to the end. 1t is not necessary to
show our devotion to the principle of protec-
ton by sacrificing every prospect Of a modf-
cation OF the existing offensive and ill-digest-
ed system OF revenue but rather to adjust it
by such improvements as will materially ben
eft the interests which are now suffering
While they will, at the same time, appeal TO
the good sense of the standing majority in the
Senate for support, which might be emphat-
ically denied to a wholesale and radical
change, which proposed to overturn the
whole system and revive the act of 1872
Great changes in manufactures and machin-
cry have occurred since the passage Of that
bill, and he is but an Indifferent statesman who
does not keep pace with the march of prog
ress in all the departments of life. l have
reason to believe that Mr.. Meredith will hold
.hese suggestions in view when preparing his
eport to Congress, the material of which is
.low nearly collected.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6, 1849.

SIR Your communication of October
18th, in relation to a proclamation fof a day
of National thanksgiving was duly received,
and, with many others of the same import, has
been considered with the attention which its
importance demands. While uniting cordi-
ally in the universal feeling ofthankulness to
God for his manifold blessings and especially
for the abatement of the pestiIence which so
lately walked in our midst, | have yet
thought it most proper TO leave the subject of
a thanksgiving proclamation where custom
has SO long consigned lt.-in the hands ofthe
Governors of the several States. This de-
csion has been strengthed by the considera-
lions that this is the season usually set apart
for ihat purpose and that several Governors
have already issued their annual proclama-
tons accordingly.
With high respect,
remain your friend and servant,
z. TAYLOR.

Mr.. Rowley had his sale of lots on Thurs
day as we gave notice. He owned about for
ty acres beyond the upper outskirts of the
city, which every person thought him axtrav-
agant in valuing one year ago at $600o.--
Lots on Thursday of 80 feet front by $50
deep sold on an average at about $50 each
the whole quantity of land sold, not one half
the forty acres, bringing about $7000-
And what is better, this was principally pur-
chased by substantial Germans, who intend
building at once upon the property. This is
a good evidence of the prosperity Of our city.
Dwellings are hard to obtain, business houses
in demand, and property every where in the
city, rapidly rising in value. Families are
daily arriving not only from various parts of
this country, but from the old countries. Our
German population is sturdy, hard working
class Of men, whose rapid increase among US
is not to be regretted, while emigration is also
Iaugmenting the number of English inhabi-
tants In fact, Evansville is going ahead in
The right ma 9ner, and her growth is of that
healthy kind which must continue till she
ranks among the largest cities ofthe West.
