the virtues Of this truly great medicine, we have
no desire to deceive those who are laborng under

Justly deserves. Yet when we look around and
see the vast amount of suffering and distress &C.
casoned by many of the diseases in which this
medicine has proved so highly successful, We feel
that we cannot urge lis claims too strongly, or say
too much in its favor.

Dcatl, Of Judge Brown.

We were much shocked and panied to find the
following paragraph in the WytheuiAe Telegraph
of the Bird instant. Judge BRowN was native
of this place, and was we'll known and highly es-
teemcd by many of our citizens. We remember
to have heard him say several years ago, that if
Providence permitted him to choose the manner
Of his death he would prefer sudden one to any
other:
SUDDEN DEATH.-It becomes our painful duty
to record the death of one of our most honored and
respected citizens. The Hon. James f.. Brown,
late Judge of this Circuit, died en- yesterday NOR
ming about o'clock. at Carol Court House The
circumstances attending his death were peculiarly
painful, and add poigrancy to the grief occasoned
by his loss Away from his family and friends,
and among strangers, he has been suddenly cut
down, without the consolation of bidding adleu to
those whom he loved 50 well while on earth. We
understand that little while before his death he
was in his usual health, and left the tavern where
he was stopping TO 90 to the Court House, but had
not proceeded more than fifty yards, when he fell
insensble and in few moments expired without
speaking Honored and esteemed by all who
knew him as man of the highest integrity and
of a noble generosity, and beloved as warm, de-
voted and 'unflinchng friend, the community OF
which he was member, has lost one OF Its bright
est ornaments, and his family and friends have sus-
tanned bereavement for which there is no conso-
lation this side of the grave.

Close of the volume.

This paper closes the 29th volume OF the Spec
ta!or. 1t has now been four yearsslnce the estab-
lishment came into our hands, and it gives us
pleasure to say that the paper is in moro flourish
ING condition now than it ever has been. We
should be wanting in gratitude, therefore, if we
permitted the present occasion to pass by. without
an expression of sincere thanks to those who have
so Literally sustained us.
At the commencement of another volume we beg
to assure the public that no efforts will be spared
to render the paper worthyof still more generous
patronage, While we shall continue IN the face
of disastrous defeat, steadfastly toadvocate the I'M
mutable principles of the Wing party, we shall
endeavor, at the same time to make the Spectator
useful and interesting as vehicle of general in
formation, and thus acceptable to men of all par
ties.
In conclusion we have only to say, that while
we have subscription listremarkabe forts prompt
pay, there are some names on it destitute of cred
its. We would respectfully remind such that the
commencement of new volume affords favora-
BILE opportunity for settlement of sold scores"

General Scott.

The National Intelligencer, has an article on
DEATHS Political Lesson, and after referringto the
':posthumous justice 'renderedby the Democracy to
CLAY, WEBSTER and others, says, at is easy to
see that they will equally, by like encomiums and
lamentations, expiate their injustice to WINFIELD
Scorr, when that greatest of surviving public ser
wants shall die" Doubtless such will be the case,
and those who lately DEPRECATED and detained him
will be loudest in his praise. For ourselves we
must profess now much higher opinion Of Gen.
Soorr and much more cordial feelings towards
him than we entertained at the opening of the
canvass. He was by no means our first choice as
the Wing candidate for the Presidency, and we
supported him more from regard to principle than
love for the man.: But the severe ordeal through
which he has passed, has developed more fully to
our view the true greatness of his character and
shown us how worthy he is of universal admlra-
ton and confidence.

From Europe.

The steamer Africa arrived at New York on the
18th instant, with Liverpool dates to the 23d ultl-
mo. There is nothing important from England.
The report from France is that LOUIS NAPoLEoN's
new title will be Emperor of the French, King OF
Algeria and Protector of the Holy Places. The
Senate was convoked for the 9TH of November,
when the question of Empire was to be submitted
to The people, and if approved the coronation by
the Pope will probably take place next May
Algeria will be made Vice Royalty and Lucien
Murat appointed Vice Regent. The Paris papers
were filled with addresses in favor of the Empire.
Medals were circulated bearing the inscription
''Prince Napoleon End, Emperor" A previous
arrival brought the news that LOUIS NAPOLEON
had liberated the Arab Chief, Abd-el-Kadir,
The Sultan of Turkey had assumed the title of
Emperor of Turkey. Strong reinforcemen:s of
troops were cmbarking for Cuba from Spain.

( From Cuba.

( The latest news from Cuba was by the
steamer Prometheus. Judge CoNKL1N, United
States Minister to Mexico, on his way out, called
at Havana, under orders from our Government, to
investigate the affairs of the Crescent City, &c.
1t is reported that some indignities were offer
ed him by the popuace, but that the authori~
ties were prepared to make any proper reparation
that was desired. The New York Commercial
says
sit is pretty plain that nothing authentic is
known of the result of Mr.. Conklin's interviews
with Governor Canedo One letter-wrlter says
that 'the Captain General expressed himself de-
slrous OF an amicable arrangement of the subjects
OF Irritation without reference to the Government
OF Spain, and protested willingness to make ev-
cry concession in his power consistent with his
honor to restore harmony But in the preceding
sentences OF his letter he speaks of the engrossing
anxiety to know the result of the interview, and
says that sit is inferred that nothing definite was
concluded upon between them, because the Cap
tain General and Commodore Newton were sub
sequently in communication
cit seems probable, however, that the Captain
Genral will willingly make any concession to the
CHiCOu DlauS WHICH ne deems ''cOlSiSleHl WIFI
his HONOR for the sake of restoring harmony
There is no great risk in 'interring' that, re-
memberlng the relation of the two countries,
and the good faith which the United States Gov
eminent has evinced through all the Cuban diff
culties, not to meet this Government in this spirit
would augur badly for the common sense of Don
Canedo.
s'From the tone of the Diario de la Marina, the
Government organ in Cuba, we nevertheless infer
that the Captain General iustiies the course he
has pursued, and rests that justification upon the
terms and conditions of treaties and recognised
writers on international law, including Wheaton,
Story, Kent and Webster, high American author
tiles. o.
GA correspondent of Savannah papersays that
there is scarcelyany excitement in Havana in re-
gard to the Crescent City affair. The authori-
ties and people honestly believe that Purser Smith
was the medium of communication beteen the rev.
olutoniss in the island and in this country, and no
one seems to question the right to exclude the
Crescent City for that reason"
A dispatch from New Orleans on the 9Th, says:
The steamer Crescent City is now coming up
the river, and the announcement has caused much
excitement
The authorities of Havana permitted the landing
of the mails and passengers of the Crescent City,
but notified the captain that such permission would
not again be granted.
The announcement that the difficulty was set
tied is, therefore, presumed to be unfounded

VOTE OF AUGUSTA COUNTY.
Maj, for Scott and Graham, 2S6

At the Governors election last year, the Wings
cast 2Ol3 votes in the County and the Democrats
1903, 1t appears then that the number of votes
given for SCOTT in the County is 339 les. than
SUMMERS received, and the number for PIERCE is
greater by IS than that cast for JOHNSON. We
are at loss to account for the increase of the Dem
ocratic vote. lfthe party has made any inroads
upon the Wings, ii certainly was not at the town
precincts; for here fifteen or twenty Democrats
voted for SCOTT, and not Wing, that we have
heard of, for PIERCE. The apathy on the part OF
the Wings is to be attributed in great measure
to the utter hopeessness of carrying the State, but
in some degree also, it must be admitted, to disaf
lection towards their party nominee.
PIERoE's majority in the State has, ofcourse,
not yet been ascertained. As soon as the returns
are all received we will publish the vote in full
In the mean time, we give below the vote of a few
counties in which our readers may feel some spe-
cial interest:
ALBEMARLE.-The majority for ScoTT is So,
Wing loss of So on the vote for Governor in 1851
RocKINGHAM.-The majority for PIERCE is
1898. The Wing votes are l0l more, and the
Democratic 10 less, than at the Governors cleo
ton, reducing the Democratic majority 100 votes
RocxBRDGE.- Majority for PIERCE So. The
county gave SUMMERS majority of l3.
FREDERIcK.-PIERcE's majority 1917. JOHN
SONS majority last December was 263. The Re
puJlican says hundred Wings in Winchester did
not vote.
JEFFERsoN.-Scorr's majority is &c. SUM
MERs' majority was II.
RICHMOND Crr.-ScoTr's majority $500
Wing gain of 8 on the Governors election.
LoUDoUN.-ScoTr's majority reported as 1900.
NELsoN.-ScoTT's majority 3.
Observation-Disclosures majority 1903.
Observation-Disclosures received 3S1 votes, and
Scorr 375-PIERcE's majority 6, some 100 less
than JOHNSON received.
MAJoRIrIEs IN THE STATEs.-The majorities in
different States, so far as an opinion may be form
ed from the returns received, are about as follows:
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1852-11-10

The latest returns from Tennessee indicate that
this State has gone for Scott North Carolina is
in dsubt, considerable Wing gains being reported,
but it is doubtful whether they will be sufficient
to overcome the majority the State gave for the
Democrats at the last State election. Later re-
turns also indicate that Kentucky has cashier vote
for ScoTr.
The South Carolina Legislative caucus pre-
vious to deciding on casting the vote of the State
for Pierce and King, passed a resolution declaring
that in 50 doing the State protests against any ap-
prevail or acquiescence in the measures commonly
called the Compromise.
The following are the votes, popular and electo-
raj since 1928:

MExICo.-A correspondent OF the n. U. Plea
yune, writing from Vera Cruz, gives a melancho-
" picture of things in Mexico. President Arlsia
had convoked Congress for the purpose OF devls-
ing ways and means to carry on the government /;
but little hope of relief seems to be entertained
from that source Indeed Arista himself evidently
expects the worst, and has, it is said, made pre-
parations to escape from the capital upon the hap
pening of an event by no means improbable lie
keeps his horses harnessed day and night, ready
for start upon the first appearance OF commotion
in the capital. Congress was to assemble on the
18th utimo, and it was generally believed In We
IA Cruz that the event would be slgnallzed by a
general Notwithstanding, probably, IN the res
toration to power of Gen. Santa Anna.
Our latest dates from the capital are to the LIST
October-the next arrival from the seat OF Govern
ment will probably bring intelligence of stirring
vents.
LATER IYTELLlGENcE.-The New Orleans
Pcayune publishes late and important intelligence
from the city of Mexico, having dates to the l9th
of October, being twelve days later.
The Mexican Congress convened In extra ses-
sion on the 18th land adopted measures to preserve
the peace of the country, but no attempts at revo-
luton had been made in the vicinity Of the capt.
tai. The frontier States were represenea In AIDE
plorable condition, and revolutionary attempts con-
tinued to be of constant occurrence.
A law was passed by Congress aboshing the
late arbitrary and highly Objectionable decree a
bridging the liberty of the press.
Considerable excitement existed at Vera CruZ,
in consequence of the receipt of intelligence that
the French squadron would soon arrive to back the
French Ministry in its demand for the payment Of
the French creditors. Also, for the liberation of
La Mont, the Frenchman who was unjusty cast
into prison some time since.
A Spanish war vessel was also expected at San
Francisco in Mexico, to enforce the claims due the
Spanish government.
On the 10th ult., the second day of the session
of the Mexican Congress- votes of impeachment
were adopted against the Minister of Justice, and
Camares, the Minister of Foreign Affairs; also of
Landovall, the Chief Clerk Of the War Depart
ment.
The city of Mexico was in a state Of ferment,
and the Government in great fear. Thelaw against
the liberty of the press having been rescinded,
several bitter opposition papers had been started
Two days before Congress met the city of Vera
Cruz sent two Commissioners to confer with the
Supreme Government respecting the recent insur-
rection. A bill was accordingly introduced into
Congress granting an amnesty to the Vera Cruz
insurgents.
Instructions were reported at Michoacan and
Xalisco.

GEN. Scorr.-A despatch dated Washington,
Nov. 5, to the Baltimore Clipper, says that Gen.
Scott was waited upon Tuesday night, by few
friends, who supped with him. Though much
dispiried at the result, he bore it with the forti
tude of true soldier. He attributes his defeat,
(says the DESPATCH first, to the detection of Mr..
Webster's friends; and, secondly, to the luke
warmuess of MIR. Fillmore and his friends. The
General has not been absent from the city, as re-
ported ; on the contrary, he attends tho meetings
Of the Military Board every day.
The despatch also states, that notwithstanding
the Wings of Washington acknowledge them
selves thoroughly beaten, they are neither exas-
perated nor dispirited, as after the defeat of Mr.
Clay. What is true the Wings ofWashiugton
seems to be true of the Wings every where
