From the F,nuuirer


To the Voters Of Old Charlotte Senatorial District
Senae OF Virginia, am compelled by the dictates OF
my heart, we'll BY the Obligations OF courtesy to
make public acknowledgment of my gratitude for
your support, and my satisfaction in your service -
Three separate elections have expressed your conf
denee in my capacity to serve you, and have had
every reason to be satisfied with your appreciation OF
my services. 1t is not, therefore any disa Election on
my part, or any dread of disaffeceu on yours that
induces me to retire from the public councils of the
State. 1t is enough to say that reasons of more con-
Germ to myself than interest to you, make it necessary
that should leave your representation in the Senate
to be filled by another But | cannot sever nv COZ
nection with my old constituents, without some ex~
preston OF my gratitude for their long and generous
support and OF sincere hope tor their future pros
perity The order of events, ordered by the voice of
the people OF Virginia, just going into operation and
il the result should be equal to the PROMISE shall re-
tire from rvice with the pleasing assurance that
your prosperity will be increasingly enhanced for an
indetnie future God grant it NAV be SOL
1t is not my purpose, fellow citizens to detan you
by any reflections upon tho probable effects of The
great organic changes 10 the government of the State
Your own integrity will convince you that the genuine
prosperity of country depends more upon the
and industry of individuals, than upon the leg is
laon Of the State; and while wise and reckless svs-
tom Of legislative policy will tell powerfully upon the
interest OF the public it is equally UNREASONABLE that
private thrift is at the best preventive against the
evils of the and the best preventative of the bene-
fits of the other
With these expressions of my feelings, bid YOU an
affActionate farewell. VIM. H. DENNIS.

THE SfCKLY SEASOS There are some
diseases that visit Us at stated of the year. and
which not untrequeny become alarmingy fatal du-

PILLS, by cleansing the blood from all mpureies
gives power to every organ to perform its functions
healthily, no matter whether externally or internally
situated Nature has formed the bowels for the evacu.
alton of all unhealthy humours of the bl cd, and if
man would but common sense, he wouldtake care
they perform this office faithfully. If the bowels are
out OF order, too slow or too active, few doses OF
Baandreth's Pills will bring them to order Ask the
man that was dying from constipated bowels what
cured him; he tells you, Brandreh's Pills. Ask him
who has had the dysseniery for six months and every
remedy had tailed; he will tell you that Brandrehs Pills
cured him in week. So with fevers, chs, and other
diseases: In word, Brandreths Pills. you are
sick and desire to be we-and use them occasion ally

THE WILD IND1ANS or MExiCo-

Our readers already apprzed of the recent con
cuson OF treaty OF much Importance by Col. John
A Rogers, U. S. Agent, with the three Indian tribes
bordering the frontier of the Republic Of Mexico
viz. the Lipans the Southern Cam anches, and the
Muscaloras. We learn from correspondent at San
Antonio, Texas, that amongst the interesting incidents
connected with the forming Of the Treaty was the de-
livery to Col. Rogers by the lndass of twenty seven
Mexican captiyes. who had been held in savage serv
tnde for periods ranging from six weeks to ten
These cap.ives consist OF two women little girls,
and twenty three boys The ages of the latter vary from
nine years up to seventeen, and they spoken OF
sprighly and intellectual set Of little fellows. They
are in the possession OF Col Rogers ready to be
transferred TO the Mexican author tiles restored to

as follows to the Havana Diario: On the lst Nov

cause OF disagreement between the English Consul and
the Captain and owner Of the Prometheus. About four

tention 10. A few minue afterwards, another gun
| was fired with ball, which passed astern to which
no more attention paid than to the first one but it
was followed by second shot, which passed between
the manmast and foremost. The Prometheus then
cast anchor and Com Vanderbilt launched his boat and
went aboard OF the British brigot Ia regard to
what passed there can affirm nothing; except that
| when Mr.. Vanderbilt returned, he informed us that
everything mad oeen arranged by his having settled the
port dues, which, ii my memory does not deceive me-
amounted to one hundred and twenty-five dollars -
During the negotiations which occurred, officer Of
the Express came on board four times, and each time
received well his boats crew. The grossest insults
Several ofhe American passengers desired the Captain
OF the Prometheus to attack and capture the British
brig in order to avenge the insult which they declared
| had been given to the American flag"
THE narration, says the Diario, is given by British
subject and conforms to which had been furnished
by Spanish passenger
Still another account says that the British ofc ials
wanted to make Com. Vanderbilt 90 on shore. but he
