The Mountain Expresses

Our readers have noticed the weekly obliga-
tions to the different Express Companies, and
yet we presume that they have not just idea
of the services rendered, and which are usu-
ally repayed by two or three thankful lines.
To the Express companies, we are indebted
for nearly all the exchange papers which find
their way to this office-for the Atlantic news
and for business communications. Situated
rs we are in the Mountains, cut Of the reach
of ordinary mail facilities, were it not for our
daily obligations to the Expresses, we should
be wholly unable to keep pace with the times;
and although we cannot hope prompt deliv-
cry of our paper to all portions of the county,
still, the distribution already effected. is done
through the agency of the different Express
Companies. 1t is so with our business men
in fact, no one, naw-adays, waits the tardy
movements of Uncle Sans mail bags--and
how can we, when he sends none in our vicini-
ty' The precision and despatch of the Ex-
press companies, supercedes the tardy rules
necessary to the management of the mails,
in places where both have equal advantages.
But here, where we have but tri-weekly
mail, arriving and departing, with no Post
Offices or mail routes, to connect the different
fourishing locations Of the county, We must
of course rely upon the Expresses that thread
our county in every direction.

About Bidweil.

The recent rains have left plenty of water,
and miners are busy in this vicinity Toms
and sluice- boxes are up in every direction
Streets are dug away or bio cked up, and every
dwelling house is sure to be erected upon
rich deposit of the precious metal. Every
body looks as pleasant as the weather has
been during the greater part Of the week, and
we are led believe that we have had brief
visit of the ''good time" that has been so lon,
coming The rain of yesterday rendered
mining operations rather more unpleasant
than they had been during the balance of the
week; but the India rubber cased hombres
continued their toll with pleasant countenan-
ces, and each discharged shovel-fu full of washed
gravel as it ratified away, but echoed his con

without such license, to report them to the

GrrBe German "Liberais'' of Boston have re-
aponJed to the call of their brethren in the West,
and put forth platform almost identical with that
laid down by the Free German Democrats of Lou
isyille. According to them, the American people
have strayed from the true principles of freedom
and repubIcanism, and they demand number OF
notifications in the constitution and laws of the
country which notifications are necessary in IL cir
view, to remove the imperfections of our existing
government. As their platform involves, among
other things, the repeal of Sunday laws, Temper
ance laws. etc., the exclusion of the Bible from
Schools. it is not probable that the party will
thrive greatly in the nncongenial atmosphere of

GJ-Phe following is furnished TO the Louisville
Journal by distinguished Clergyman who never
says W hat he does not know:
Cholera 1nfantum
This is the season for Cholera Infantum. Many
years ago received from an excellent physician a
recipe for the cure OF this prevalent and often fatal
disease, which have used now for twenty-three
years in my own and IN other families with uniform
success. Every intelligent physician will see that
the combination meets every ordinary indication
OF the disease. There may be cases OF incontrol.
able violence, which no remedy will arrest. But
have never known this remedyto fail in any case
in which it has been tried; ami believe that in
nine out of ten the cases which prove fatal from
ordinary neglect and subsequent treatment the
timely use of this recipe would have saved the pa
TENTS IL never produces irritation, debility, or
other bad consequences. Ii is as follows:
Calomel 10 grains
Opi,im grain
Fowdered Cinr anon 25 grains.
Prepared Chalk 48 grains
Mix and divide into sixteen powders.
IL will be seen that there thIee-QuarterS of a
gam OF calomel and one-sixteenth of grain of
opium ineach powder. Keep box of these now
tiers on hand. As soon as child is affected with
bowel complaint so seriously as not to be promptly
relieved by change of diet, give one of these
powders and repeat every four hours until retief is
obtained. One powder will often relieve, two
generally, four always, except in such violent and
rapid cases as have never seen. In the summer
time, and during the Irritation of deniition the
disease will probably return every week or two
and it may be as certainly relieved with pe.fect
safety in a few hours by one OF two powders. As
far as my observation goes there ought never TO be
deDth pIot,a Gled illness from cholera infan-
tun.
Some persons have violent aniipathy to calo
amel, derived IN some measure from the abuse of
II, but more frequently from the use of it in cases
which by previous neglect or bad treatment had
been rendered Incurable. The remedy last resort
Ell TO is then charsed with the effect of that previ-
Gus neglect or bad treatment. These persons may
be assured that none of the evils they apprehend
from the use OF calomel will result, from the free
judicious use of these powders
