IMPORTS AND REvESuE.-It appears from
statements, most of which are official, that
the imports for the year ending June 80, 1863,
amount to $255, ,ooO, 900, and that the revenue
from imports for the same period will amount
to S6S,93l 1865, and that the revenue from
public land and other miscellaneous sources
will carry the amount up to SCI LOG, ,774.
This is the largest amount of revenue ever
collected in single year, and about s Il 0 OOo,-
600 more than the estimate of the Secretary
Of the Treasury. Our imports for the three
last years will range as follows: For 1851,
SS2l6, 1882; for 1859, S2l2,945,4 70; for
1853, $256,ooo,ooo. Here is an increase in
our imports for the last year OF $4,000, 900.
1t must take considerable share Of our Cali
fornia gold TO pay for these foreign luxuries.
So long es these extravagant importations
are kept up our country will be drained Of her
specie, and we shall find ourselves growing
more extravagant, but no more wealthy, By
the influx of gold from the mines-Boston

Who ARE THE BoLTERs. This is the great
question among the "Harmonies" just now,
and it is one of no little difficulty. Much has
been and more will be said before the ques-
ton can finally be settled. The Washington
Union pronounced the Evening Post, Buffalo
Republic, and other followers boilers. Those
papers retorted by declaring themselves true
Democrats, and the Union and its disciples
boilers. The Argus affirms that the Atlas
and its sympathisers are boilers, while the
Atlas says it is no such thing. and that the
Argus people are the worst kind of boilers.
Thus the anxious inquirer after truth is both
cred to death to get at the real truth of the
matter. Our own opinion is that the whole
Democratic party have bolted bodily; all rum
ming after strange gods, and the great difficult
ty is that they are running different ways

A respectable citizen, in communicating
the annexed recipe, states that it has been
found entirely effectual in some recent case S:
Cure for Dysentery, or Diarrhea, discorered
6y DR.. PERKINS, Of Salem, Massachusetts,
many years since
Saturate any quantity of the best vinegar
with common salt; to one large tablespoon
ful Of this solution add four times the quant-
ty of boiling water; let the patient take of
this preparation, as hot as it can be swallow
ed, one teaspoonful once every half minute
until the whole is drank: this for an adult
The quantity may be varied according to the
age, size, and constitution of the patient If
necessary, repeat the dose in six or eight
hours. Carefully avoid keeping this prepara- =
tion in vessels partaking of the qualities of
lead or copper. The success of the remedy
depends much on preparing and giving the
dose as above directed. In order to keep the
preparation hot, it would be well to piace the
cup which contains it in bowl containing
boiling water, otherwise it will cool before
being taken.
Every family in the Unite States ought to
know of this recipe, which is remarkable for
its efficacy.
