rie has written letter to Mr.. Bronson,
collector at New York, iusiructing him in
political duties. Mr.. Bronson is a Hun
keg and refuses all connection with the
Wan Barren faction. The Secre,ary's letter
is designed to give both sections ofthe par
ty to understand that they are expected by
the administration to stand together, and
that no boiling will be tolerated. We have
fallen upon new times. The administration
has enlarged the sphere Of its duties. 1t
has generally been understood that the
regulation of political matters belonged to
the people, aud that they were capable OF
managing them without such official aid

The following 10 from the principal
accounian; OF the wealthy and highly
respectable house of Messrs. Voris &,
Bro, of this city, and presents ONE OF
THE MOST WONDERFUL CURES
IN THE ANNALS Of medical histo-
! y.
Mr. III. G. Farrell--Dear Sir: Actu-
ated by sense of gratefuIness, | submit
the following as an instance of the utility
of your great medicine. My child, three
years old, was suddenly attacked with q
terrible disease, which in less than six
hours prosIrated it TO total heIplessness.
The limbs became SO rigid, that not a
joint could be bent /; the flesh turned
black and cold, and entirely deprived of
feeling; the eyes fixed, partially closed,
and altogether blind following this, was
deafness to all sounds; the spine became
contracted and so curved, that when ly-
ing on its back the head and heels only
touched. Indeed the child presented ev-
cry appearance of being dead. Immedi-
a,ely on attack, the family physician
was called in, and for three weeks he Ia
bored to restore it to feeling, but all in
vain, although i. was blistered dozen
times and various rubefacieni Liniments
applied. A consultation of physicians
was then held, but TO no purpose; the
case was then brought before a Medical
Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been tried, and
the doctor then told me he could do moth.
ing more. We then commenced apply
ing your Liniment freely over the entire
length Of the spine, and you may mag
inc parents JOY, when, after few ap-
plications, returning animation was ap-
parent. and iirapidly recovered with the
exception of the sight, which did not be-
come perfect for near month. The
child is now healthy aud robust as can
be. Five other cafes of the same kind
occurred previously in my neighborhood,
oil of which died, when there is no doubt
if your Linimeni had been used they
would have recovered.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
EddyVille Free Press.

z An Association, having It's centre OF
operation at Eddyville, Wapello Coun-
~, Iowa, has been formed for the pur-
pose of establishing and Maintaining
upon a secure and permanent basis. an
Independent or Neutral Newspaper
Press, and the present method has been
adopted TO bring the fact to the notice,
and 10 commend the undertaking to the
support of the public.
The design OF the enterprise 10 to
furnish TO FARMERS, MECHANICS, MER-
CHANTS, and indeed to ALL CLASSES a
Newspaper devoted to the moral, mate
rial, and intellectual wants and interests
OF the community, and entirely indie
Peni of the peculiar influence and con-
troll OF Sect or Party.
| Ii will therefore be the design to make
the Press valuable Family Paper, a
medium for the dissemination of For
eign and Domestic News, an advocate
of Progress and Improvement, local and
general; in short Journal devoted to
Agriculture, Education, Literature, Me-
chanics, Markets &c.. and seeking By O
candid and fair examination and discus
sioE of ALL the grea: questions now de-
mandlng or that may hereafter demand
the attention of the public, to attain and
walk In the path which shall lead 10
TRUTH, TO the RIGHT, to the PRACTICABLE,
and TO the really VALUABLE and USEFUL.
Ii is believed tina, the public are very
generally Disguised with the almost ex.
elusive devotion of the press of the
country to politics. and that dis
position prevails 10 declare a truce upon
that subject, and to NEE. together upon
the ground of a common interest, and
devote little attention TO subjects of
more practical and pressing importance;
such as Labor, the PocKET, the Work
Shop, the FARM, and the pecuninary, So
cial, moral and intellectual condition of
the race. TO meet this state of public
feeling is one prominent design of the
Press.
The Town of Eddyville and region
surrounding il, is selected as the field foi
his enterprise, because i! is believed that
the experience Of the past, as well as
the realities of the present, and the in
dicalions Of the future, connected with
vast agricultural resources, great manu-
featuring capabilities, and heavy COM
lnercial interests and prospects, clearly
point 10 this place aud region, az demand.
ing such an enterprise, and capable Of
sustaining it.
The pecuuiary support of the Press
is secured by an ample Fund owned and
controlled by joint Stock Company.
The Editorial department will be under
the control OF j. w. Norris, Esq. al
ready known to the public as an exper-
fenced and able writer. The Mechani-
cal department will be in the charge Of
Mr.. 5. J. JENKlNs, a competent and
skillfui practical Printer This arrange.
mens il is believed will give universal
satisfaction, and an assurance of perma
nency and success.
The Press will be among the larges,
in the interior of the State, printed on
good paper, and will be issued a. the
earliest possible day.
