HENRY G. MYEEs, Fayette, Mo.
HAMPTON L. Boon, Clerk of the Supreme
Court of Missouri, and Editor of the Jefferson

as follows, in his paper:
We desire to call the particular attention of
all persons afflicted with Rheumatism to this
lieve, will cure any case. however violent.
The senior editor Of this paper, during the
last winter and present spring, suffered so
much from Rheumatism that he was unable at
times to walk or stand upon his feet, or even
hange his position in bed without assistance
A part of a bottle cured him in a few days.
His son was also afflicted with the same dread
full complaint, and suffered the most excrutia-
ting pain until an application of the Embroca-
ton was made, which effected an entire cure.
Col. Minor of this city, also had severe
attack of Rheumatism this spring from which
he suffered severely, and which confined him
to his bed for several weeks. Nothing gave
him any relief until he sent to Rocheport, for
ty miles, and procured a bottle of this medi-
cine, which expelled his pains almost instantly.
Mr.. Myers ought TO have an agent in every
county in the State, with which this med
icine should be deposited for sale. We repeat
our honest conviction, for the benefit of those
suffering with Rheumatism, that one bottle of
this medicine will cure the most violent case
that can be found Metropolitan.

wHG---REpUBLIcAN.

So the Union thinks the Wings are
going to change their name, because we
have spoken of our party as the great
Republican party. Were not the Wings
of the Revolution the Republicans of the
Confederacy' Was not Wing and Repub-
lican convertible terms then! The term
Wing implies opposition to the one-man
power; the term Republican denotes a
party in favor of representative democra
cy. Is not this Government representa-
tive democracy and are not the Wings
opposed to the use of the veto as a
monarchical prerogative! Are not, there
fore, Wing and Republican convertible
terms'-the Wing party, the Republican
party! No wonder a party which would
confer monarchical privileges on its Presi-
dent, in the name Of Democracy, is hostile
to the Wing and Republican party.
The Union calls the Wing party grub.
Perhaps our neighbor is right. 1t GER
tainly most effectually grubbed Locofo-
coism out of the high places which it had
abused and perverted.

OZONE AND SULPHUR.

A medical friend writes us from New York, that
whether the ozone and sulphur theory be true or
not, the PRONUNCIATION of the doctrine was well
timed for that city. The mere idea that the
cause of the cholera had been detected and an
antidote for it found, acted like charm upon
the public mind and in this way contributed to d-
minish the number of cases, which by this time
must have become really alarming. Panic gave
way to confidence. The apothecaries were beset
by people eager to obtain the little alleged health
sustaining pills and powders, composed of four
grains of lphur and one of charcoal each. One
druggist alone (under the Aston House) sold fifteen
hundred pills in three days; others sold more.
That very many persons were relieved by these
simple remedies of the minor symptoms of cholera
is inconestable. But when they were tried in the
public hospitals and failed to remove the last and
most fearful conditions of the disorder then, for
sooth, the cry went forth that as the simple remedy
could not do every thing, therefore, they were good
for nothing, humbug, &c. Boerhaave, the
great Dutch physician of the last century, remarks
in his aphorisms, 81 know of no remedy, except
that which becomes such by timely use" To a
certain extent according to this view, the charcoal
and sulphur have proved a remedy of no insignf-
cant importance.

Report Of the Superintendent of the Coast Surrey TO
the Secretary Of the Treasury, relating TO Hatteras
Coue Hattras inlet, and Bulls Bay, on The coast Of
North and South Carolina.
CoAsr SURVEY STATION, NEAR ANNAPOLIS, a.,
June III, lS49.
SIR: have received from Lieut.. Cong j. ~
Maffit, U. S. NJ, assistant in the Coast Survey in
formation in regard to the results of reconnaissance
made by him, which are of considerable Importance
to navigators, and which have the honor to lay
before you with view to their publication. They
relate a cove which has been formed, since lS45
by the extension of Cape Hatteras to the inlet
southwark and westward of Cape Hatteras, formed
in 1916, and to the of Bulls bay, on the coast
of South Carolina, as a harbor of refuge. Sketches
Of these reconnaissance will be at once published
|. Hatteras COpe lies to the westward of the ex-
IRENE point Of Cape Ha:teras is sheltered from the
| northeast, and affords good anchorage in four to
five fathoms water, with a bottom of ''soft blue
mud" From the anchorage, Hatteras light bears
N. N. E., distant about one mile and a half Since
lS45, the s w. spit of Hatteras has made out
nearly three-eighths of mile.
,. HatterG inlet is twelve miles to southwark,
and westward of the Cape. Twelve feet can be
carried the bar on the ocean side and there is
secure anchorage in FIVE fathoms water. The en-
trance with pilot is easy. Lieut. Mafit's state
ments refer only to the use of the inlet as harbor
Of refuge.
3. Bulls Bay is about twenty-three miles north Of
Charleston, on the coast of South Carolina Thir-
teen feet be carried across the bar at lowwater
spring tides, the rise and fall Of which is six and
three-quarters feet To enter, "bring the N. E.
bluff or point of Bulls Island to bear N. w. by
W., (by compass,) and run for it. When within
hree-quarters Of mile of the point steer N. three
quarters w until it is passed then follow round
the shore and anchor at pleasure in soft bottom"
ain leaving the bay, keep away until the outer spit
is cleared, which bears S. E. by s. from the bluff
point Of Bulls Island, dstrant three and quarter
miles"
Very respectfully yours,

BORIS AND GOOD LAWS, AND THEN
WE CAN co AHEAD"

The Union quotes passage from let
ter published in the Baltimore Clipper, in
which the writer declares that he heard,
with his own ears, General Taylor pro-
claim, in the presence of number of per-
sons assembled at the White House: " I
am for good roads, good harbors, md good
lars; and then ne can go ahead."
Our contemporary gives us a criticism
upon these words, from which we infer
that this style Of plain, straightforward re-
mark is something too homely for Demo
cratic ears. For our own part, we approve
both the sentiment and the phraseology of
the President. They are good enough for
US The Union prefers the circumlocution
and rhetoric of the last Administration
upon these subjects, which reduced to vul.
gar English would read thus: I" GiDe as
Jod roads, bod harborS, md bad la10si md
then we can go bockwords"

AMERICANS AT LEGHORN.
LEGHoRN, Map Is, 1876

1t happened that sailor of the American brig
Lamartne remained on shore on the 10Th Of May,
when the town still in feverish state, and be-
gan to fight (most likely tipsy) with Austrian sol
diers in a tap and when the patrol made the regu-
lar tour and arrested the whole party he rushed at
the patrol, wounded two of the soldiers with
knife, and was shot dead on the spot. Another
less tragical affair happened yesterday, when a
drunken Austrian soldier offended the doctor of an
American steamer. The soldier has been most Sc
verely punished But these two instances make
the Americans fancy that the Austrans, who are on
the best terms with the English and French officers
of the respective men-ofwar, have taken offence for
their having saved the leaders Of the revolution of
Leghorn, and that the Austrians have given orders
TO insult them whenever they come on shore. No
such thing is the case, as hear from the best au-
thority; and, in fact, il would be just as impossible
for an Austrian soldier to know an American from
an Englishman, or a Frenchman, as il would
be for myself to distinguish Polish Austrian sol
der from Bohemian or Scavonian Correspond
ence Of the London Chronicle.

THE RIVAL TELEGRAPHs.-The case which has
been pending for some time in the United States
circuit court at Frankfort, KY, between Messrs.
Morse e. o'Reilly, on an injunction laid by Morse
against the use Of the Columbian Instrument by
O'Reilly on the line from Louisville to Nashville,
was decided on the l4th instant. The decision is
in favor Of 0Reiy, restoring to him the use of
the Frankfort line, decreeing that using the nven-
ton of Bain's instrument would be no infringement
Of the injunction obtained by Morse last fall over
the Columbian Instrument.
This decision enables Mr.. o'Reiy to have COM
petc telegraphic communication to New Orleans.

The news by the Cambria is rather stirring. II
is a curious fact that the commercial news is first
reported over the wires, and then comes the poliii
cai-money first and mankind afterwards.
There is rumor here that the Government is
about to assume the control of the mail steamers,
and to fit them out as men of war. II has excited
great attentions; and though the affairs of Europe
may require an immediate increase of our steam
marine in the Mediterranean sea and German ocean,
the merchants will oppose the measure proposed
with all their might
suppose you know that the poet Bryant sailed
in the last steamer for England, accompanying his
friend Mr.. Leupp, with whom he has travelled be-

ries of "the land Of the mountain and the food +"

Col. BENToN's speech is making sad havoc with

with Col. Benton since his speech at Jefferson
The Metropolitan and the Glasgow Banner have

do likewise The Platte Argus, before the speech,

CONGRESSIONAT. CANVASS

CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.
In the first district, the Hon. T. l.. Cngman is
the Wing candidate, and we presume that he will
be elected without opposition.
In the second district Joseph p. Caldwell,
Whig is out without opposition.
OF the third district we need not speak. Our
unfortunate endorsements afford theme for the
regrets of Wings at home and abroad.
In the fourth district Augustin Shepherd, the
former incumbent is again before the people. He
is Wing, good and true; and we presume that
no aspiring Loco will have the temerity to go out
and meet him in battle.
In the fifth district Henry X. Nash and A. w.
candidates Of Mr.. Nash, the Wing candidate,
the Greensborough Patriot, one of the most fair
and candid papers in the State, thus discourseth-
Henry X. Nash has been nominated by Wing
Convention, and has accepted the nomination. Mr..
Nash is graceful and effective popular orator and
an ardent friend of the Union. 1t is the hope of
all true and enlightened patriots that he will give
Mr. Venable and his disorganizing doctrines their
quietus in that district.
In the sixth district, Mr.. John Reeves Jones
Daniel, the late incumbent and Major William ].
Clark, late from the CORY plains of Mexico, are
the opposing candidates. Their politics are of the
same school, being what is improperly termed
democratic" Major Clark, however, has the adj
vantage of wound received in Mexico to help
at any rate we know he was before he turned Dem
ocrat-and we have heard of stranger things than
if he should possess some little advantage over the
Hon. John Reeves Jones in this respect also. The
chances, we think, are fair for Clark.
In the seventh district, William S. Ashe is the
Democratic nominee, and will of course be elected
He will, therefore, enjoy the honor of representing
the most dark and dolefu streak of Locofocoism
in the Union. His nomination is said to have
been effected after more than ffty unavailing bal
lettings; and we think it no very great feather in
the cap of his party that it was effected at ALL
In the eighth district William X. Lane has
charge of the colors of Locofocoism. The Wing
candidate, James w. Bryan, has been compelled
to withdraw from the field in consequence of an
attack Of hemorrhage of the lungs-of this fact
we are panied to be appraised, inasmuch as Mr..
Bryan was every way a suitable man for the trusts
confded to him by his brethren of the district.
In the ninth district MIR. Outlaw, former rep
resentative, is without opposition, yet. So end
the the chapter on the Congressional canvass.

yesterday morning in view Of the body of a white
woman named Ann Sullivan, residing on fourth
street. near the Jail, who expired suddenly while her
husband was seeking assistance from the neighbors
on her complaint Of severe pain. It appeared in
evidence that the deceased was woman of intem-
perate habits, and had been INDUCING in free use
of intoxicating drinks for some days past, which,
joined to feeble constitution, was declared to be
the cause of her death, and the jury rendered YER
dict accordingly.

Public Buildings has caused the lower portion Of

This is mistake. The Commissioner has not
caused any portion Of the dome to be painted, but
he has had painted the circular stone ,oork upon
which the dome rests, and which, some years ago,
was covered with copper to prevent the dampness
from affecting the inside work.
The Capitol now presents the appearance it for
merly did, and such was intended by the arch-
tect; ard the thanks Of the public are due to our
worthy Commissioner Of Public Buildings for the
