Eksge Over Two Thousand different persons in
 this city, who were afflicted with Rheumatism during the last two months have been cured by the use of McLean's Volcanic Oil Lniment
 It is truly celebrated remedy and it has done more to alleviate human suffering than any medicine ever discovered. One application will relieve the most vi olent pan
 few applications will cure bruise or sprain
 Two bottles will cleanse, purify and heal the most loathsome ulcer, and it will almost instantly removeinfammation and heal the most severe burn or scald without ''scar."
 For chapped hands, chblains, sores or eruptions on | the skin it IS the only true remedy.
 Two applications will make the skin soft white and smooth an infants.
 Every family should have supply constantly on hand for use in time of need. FOR HORSES AND OTHER ANIMALS
 McLean's celebrated linment is far superior to any remedy for the cure of lameness, bruises, cuts old sores, sweeney scratches gals. swengs sprains etc. Read the following from Mir. Wells, of the St. Louis l omnibus company: This is to certify that have used the Mexican Mus tang Eminent, and McLeans Volcanic Oil Lnment on omnibus horses that were lame sprained. and for swengs and 1 have found McLeann's Volcanic Oil Eminent to be the best liniment.
 ERASTUS WELLS, of the firm of Case & Co.
 Then trte no longer with those compounds. l McLean's Lniment is the only reliable remedy for external diseases on man beast. Try it. and you will be convinced. | s4 See advertisement in another column of to- pays paper.

JUSTICE TO THE ADMINISTRATION.-W are indebted to the Washington Union for the fol. lowing extract from the Washington correspon- dence of the Louisiana Courier:
 "The results of whig mismanagement and wrong in the Treasury Department admonish the country against any further investments of confidence in whig professions of integrity and good faith. Every citizen recalls with indig- nation the shameless Gardiner fraud, the light house contract the lending of the puplic credit to speculators, and other wrongs. All these practices have ceased under the present firm and fearless administration of the public trea- sury. And the system of economy does not end here. Judge Campbell early set to work with great energy in the post office department: MT. McClelland, in the Interior; MT. Dobbin. in the Navy; and Jefferson Davis, in the de- partment of War. Nothing during past years has been so pregnant of evil to the true inter- penditures of the public treasure, and the cor rupt and lawless transactions of eminent off, cials. A republic to be firm and effective must be conducted frugally and faithfully Waste and extravaganza and speculation and the con- pllclty of public men in private operations, will, If not severely checked, soon become the chrome disease of our system, and if persisted in, will ultimately result in the most pernicious consequences. Let the public confidence be impaired in the integrity of our public men let the people once adopt the belief that the revenues of the government are squandered upon measures of doubtful utility, or sequester- ed by able and, dishonest men-and blow is inflicted upon republican institutions from which they may never recover. This is chief and threatening danger, and the whole country looks with confidence to General Pierce and his counsellors to put an end to practices that have grown into an overshadowing evil.

0EHF The ladies of the town of Pontiac. Ill.,. strong minded and strong handed women. last week resolved in public meeting to put stop to the sale of alcoholic drinks in that town Some twenty of them assembled together and proceeded to execute the resolutions of the meeting. The first grocery they visited was a somewhat notorious place, the keeper of which. thinking that discretion was the better part of valor, complied with their terms, and submitted to the destruction of his liquor The keeper of the next grocery demurred at first, but final ly yielded to the outside pressure, and his house was closed. This closed the business in Pon- tiac and the ladies returned in triumph to their homes.

CGF The manner in which the declaration of war was received in England, was very diffe- rent from that in which it was received in France. It was received by the English Lords with the utmost gravity and seriousness-by the French Assembly with the liveliest demonstra- tions of satisfaction, and vociferous cries of " Vave Emperew." Such difference of man. her upon the occasion of so solemn declara- tion serves to illustrate their national characte- ristics. England goes into the war with cool ness and ermination-France with the ut- most enthusiasm. The one regards war a se- rious business-the other holvdav endowment.

From the New IOfk Herald. The Walker Expedition.
z. s. ,&ip, Portsmouth, SG1l DieqO. March 9 1854

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD: As the mall IS now about to leave for San Francisco, will send you all the news that we have been able to obtain up to this hour. Last night fifteen men, who deserted from Walkers camp one week ago, arrived at this nlace- They state that his party is now reduced to about sixty men. They also state that if was hinted in the camp that Walker, with some of his officers, would give up the expedition. and make their way into Texas, so as to avoid be- ing arrested and taken back to San Francisco Poor Gilman has had his leg amputated. and at last accounts was doing well.
 We shall leave here as soon as the Columbus returns, and cruise along the coast, looking into Ensenada San Quintin and so on to Cape St. Lucas, and back to this port, and then leave for Valparaiso. Our officers and crew all we'll.

 C. S ShaP Portsmouth, San Diego {
 March 25, 1854.
 Since my last, dated three days ago, and which is now on its way to you, we have learn ed the following particulars in regard to Walk CT. Yesterday four of his men arrived in town, and immediately came on board this ship; there are now about thirty of his men in town: these will all take passage in the Columbus for San Francisco. These last men state that when they left Walker, on the 21st instant. he was preparing to abandon the New Republic as he has called it, and would start with about forty of his best officers and men, on the followino day, for Texas, crossing the Colorado river Captain Snow, who ran away with the brig Ca- roline is with him; so if they succeed and get past the Apache Indians and Mexican forces. the good people of Texas will soon have band Of pirates in their midst. Before these men left they assisted Walker in burying all his am- munition, amounting to about two thousand pounds of powder, balls, etc.; they also broke up all the spare arms. They state that Walk CT and his officers lay the cause of the downfall of the expedition and the New Republic to the interference of the Portsmouth and Columbus. They say that dissatisfaction began to show it.
