To illustrate the use Of the. GALVANTC BELT,
civilization, DYSPEPSIA, or any other Chronic or Nerv-
Gus Disorder. In ordinary cases, s%tiThhlants are taken,
which, Nv their action on the nerves and muscles OF the
stomach, afford temporary relief but which leave the
patient in o lower state, and with injured faculties, after
the action thus excited has ceased. Now compare this
with the effect resulting from the application OF the GAL
VANIC BELT. Take a Dyspeptic sufferer, even in the
worst symptoms Of an attack, and simply tie the Belt
around the Body, using the Magnetic Fluid as directed.
In a short period the i%nsensible peTspiTation will act on
the positive element OF the Belt, thereby causing q Cal
vanic circulation which will pass on to the negative, and
tinuous Galyanic circulation throughout the system.

LATE FROM SANTA FE-1'he ST. Louis Repub-
lican has received Intelligence from Santa Fe to
the 10Th ult. The elections, under the State
constitution of New Mexico, took place on the
Goth of JUNE, and resulted in the choice Of DR..
Henry Connolly for Governor, and Emanuel AL
varez for Lieutenant Governor. William 5. Mes
serdy was elected Representative to Congress by
500 msjority over Hugh NJ Smith. Members
of the Legislature were also elected, and this
body convened at the time appointed by the State
constitution, when curious scenes were
enacted.
The parties are diyided-one advocating ter
ritorial and the other State government. A men,
Der of the Senate presented his credentials and
was admitted, but, it being afterwards found that
he would not vote with the majority, he was
cluded from taking his seat, and his opponent ad-
mtted. Hereupon number of the Senators and
Representatives withdrew, leaving the House
without quorum The remaining members took
upon themselves the responsibility of filling the
vacant seats with men enotgh TO form a quorum,
and proceeded with the business. Major r. II.
Whiteman and Major F. A. Cunningham, both
late paymasters in the y. S. army, were elected
u. S. Senators.
An express which left Santa Fe several days
after this party, brought sealed dispatches and
orders for two thousand stand of arms.
Major Whteman is expected to arrive at st.
Louis in few days, on his way 10 Washington.
Indian depredations and oatrages Of every de-
scriptIon continue to take place almost weekly.
An attack upon FIVE different ranches near Taos
is reported Il have taken place recently, when
six Mexicans killed and numerous horses
and mules stolen. We mention one other Instance.
In the latter part of Dune, shortly after the elec-
ton, strange body of Apaches having made a
descent on the Oayado settleme nt of Kit Carson
and Lucien Maxwell, killed an cid mountaneer
called Bill New, and bag lar and private OF
dragons company |, after which they ran OH
nearly the whole stock Of horses and cattle, lear-
ing behind tlrem only some fifteen animals, which
belonged to the dregoon company there stationed.
The sufferers were thus left without the means
of pursuit. The complaints are generally loud
against the government for not taking better means
of protecting the citizens the frontier.

been hitherto, power behind the throne

INTERESTING TO THE GRAY-HEADED---Wbe
Gen. Twiggs returned from Mexico, covered with
glory, he had two marks Of hard service upon
him, viz: head white WOOL and cutane-
Gus eruption his forehead. For the latter, he
was advised to try mixture of sulphur and sugar
of lead and rose water. In applying it, some of
the mixture mosoned the hair his forenead
and after while this part of his hair resumed lis
original color. He then applied the mixture to
all his hair and it all became, and is now, of its
primitive sandy hue. He communicated the fact
to some of his friends in Washington, and it has
not dye the hair, but seems to operate upon the
roots, and restore the original ceior. The recipe
is as follows:-l drachm lac sulphur; ! drachm
sugar of lead; ounces rose water; mix them
shake the piial on using the mixture, and bathe
the hair twice day for a week or longer, If
