M Dear D0ct0r:-l have always had an aver
sion to Patent Medicines and cureall nostrums
but after having experienced the good eff
fects of your Remedy for all diseases, in my
own case, am compelled to lay aside all pref
udices and give to that invaluable medicine
its lust need Of praise-l have been afflicted
with consumption for the last thirteen years
and part of that time<haye been lingering on
the very brink Of the grave--one of my lungs
wes entirely consumed, and the other filled with
cavities as big as my fist; my once robust person
WAS reduced to a mere skeleton; do not think
l would have weighed over fifty pounds when
once would have weighed three hundred. In
fact it would have taken thirteen such frames as
mine to have made shadow; | was given up
by all the best doctors in the country to die,
when was induced, by reading in the news
papers of the wonderderful cures your medi
cine had performed and also by my friends, to
try a few bottles of it, had not taken more
than seventeen bottles before my strength began
to return and ray Aesh to increase. have not
taken more than forty seven and | am now
almostcompletely cured;the lung that was vast
ed away has been replaced by new one much
better than the first; the cavities of the other
are entirely filled up, and am feshier than
ever was in my life. ! give this incomplete
statement of my case for the benefit of those
who are similarly afflicted. Invalids why delay
being restored to health when the means are
within your reach? Had you not rather be cur
ed by what the doctors" call quackery than
"to die scientifcally?N

EAST TENNESSEE & GA. RAILROAD.
We take the following extract from letter to
the ST. Louis Christian Adrocdtc, written by
the Editor during a visit recently to East Ter
nessees-
The East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad is
completed for about eighty miles from Dalton,
in Georgia-has been used that distance for sew
eral months, and will in few months more be
completed to the Virginia line, when there viii
be continuous route from Dalton in Georgia
through all East Tennessee, and on to Lynch
burg, Va. Already has new life been infused
into the business transactions of this country,
and business men inspired with new energy.
I have travelled more or less on all the lead
ing railroads In the United States, and on some
out of the United States, and must say that the
East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, as far as
completed, is one of the best the easiest, and ia
my judgement the safest, have ever Seen.-
Quite rage for copper-nining has recently
sprung up in this section of the country. Sew
eral mines have been opened, some of which are
yielding very handsomely. / noticed considera
bic amounts on the freight cars going South,
and learned that heavy shipments were made
almost, or quite, daily. This promises to be
source of considerable trade and profit.

On the occasion of tie delivery Of the In
augural Address by Governor Grimes, there
Was some applause from the galleries. A
Senator from Des Moines (Alr. Coolbaugh)
feeling the scene to be an insult to the digni-
y Of the Senate, moved that the galleries be
clss ed. Upon the making Of this motion, it
10 said, that the ladies who were in the gal
leries Kissed, and there were other signs of
indignation! The Dubuque Tribune, whose
editor, Mr.. Hackley, was reporter at Iowa
City, gave version of the m tier somewhat
like this, and ascribed the withdrawal of the
motion to the feeling Of contempt and in
dignation with which the motion was re-
lived by the audience. Mr.. Coolbaugh
claims that there was no demonstration what
ever between the time of his making his mo-
ton and Withdrawing it, and that it was
withdrawn solely at the solicitation of
friends.
And upon this important question Of
whether or not Mr.. Coo!baugh withdrew his
motion because it was received with burs.
Of indignation, or only because somebody
advisec him to ,cithdrdw it, as it would not
look very well to turn the ladies out, ques-
ton of privilege has been raised, and the
wounded feelings Of our honorable Senator
assuaged by the expulsion Of the offending
editor. A Mr.. Test introduced string Of
resolutions beginning with whereas, and
ending after giving the Tribune and its Edi-
tor particular fits, with his expulsion. These
resolutions will 80 upon the journal and
there remain memento and vindication du-
ring all coming time of the dignity Of the
Senate of Iowa. And should our illastrious
Senator or his descendants ever be accust Of
Withdrawing motion because somebody
Kissed, he can point triumphantly to these
resolutions, backed by the awful whereas |!
and prove iucontestibly that it was with
drawn on adrice.
Wh,n an individual or legislative body
becomes concerned and alarmed about dig
nifty, and finds insult in every thing, it is a
Pc ty sure sign that there is little to respect
about either. That the Senate and Senator
may need no further catap.asm for their
wounded dignity is our wish. As we under
stand it, MIR. Hackley still adhers to his YER
sion of the matter.

FROM WASHINGTON.
MR.. STEVENS AND MR.. CAMPBELL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA, 1854.
Mr.. Stevens, of Georgia, addressed tn,
House to-day in defence of the Nebrasks
Kansas bill, but chiefly in answer to thu
speech made yesterday by Mr.. Mace. Al
usual, he was listened to with deep interest
There is, in the whole House, no man whose
looks promise so little: and yet there are
few who are gifted with powers of declama-
ton half SO attractive as is Mr.. S. His
speech of to-day was delivered in his best
style; and until it was answered, it certainly
exerted decided influence over the mass OF
those who heard it.
Mr.. Lewis d. Campbell, of Ohio, follow
ed, and answered the gentleman from Geor-
gla most triumphantly, as is acknowledged
by men of all parties. The great secret of
MIR. Stephens power is his ability to impress
his auditors with the conviction Of his hon
est earnestness in the avowal Of his senti
ments, and his own bold confidence in the
arguments he presents. Mr.. Campbell, to-
day, dislodged him completely from his strong
hold, by showing his inconsistency. For
awhile the member annoyed him with fire.
quent interruptions by way of answers to The
charges of inconsistency. But finally Mr..
Campbell read from former speech of Mr..
Stephens himself, in which the latter clearly,
explicitly and unequivocally declared views
IN relation to the power Of Congress over the
territories precisely the reverse of those he
to-day enunciated. Mr.. Stephens called for
the record of debates; and it was handed
him. lie pored over the fatal page. read
over ard over again his old speech, that came
now like horrid goblin to torment him.
But there were his own words. There could
be no installing them; nor could there be
any consistent reconciliation between the
sentiments of to-day and the sentiments ut
tered years ago. He was fastened to his seat.
The blow was one from which even his great
mental energies could not recover h m.
Nc. Campbell followed up his advantage
by asking what was the opinion Of the gen
tleman from Georgia on the Constitutional
power OF Congress over the territories but
his tongue seemed palsied, and no response
came from him. MIR. Campbell never ac-
Quilted himself so we'll as TODAY: and he
had occasion to feel proud Of his triumph-

foes, from North and South, freely admit.

The news is generally unimportant. $780,
600 Of the treasury lost on the Yankee Blade,
has been secured by divers.
An application was made to the Judge of
the 18th district, for writ of habcas corpus
to discharge the Russian prisoners on board
the Sitka. The point insisted upon by the
council in making the application, seemed to
be that the prisoners could no, be retained on
board the Sitka as she was merchant YES

TIE Sitka was a Russian vessel captured and
brought to San Francisco by her captors from
the action of Petropaulovske, having re-
manned few days ut Vancouvers Island
The first application created considerable ex-
element. The writ was served by a deputy
Sheriff, on an officer second in command Of
the Sitka. Eight prisoners were to have been
brought out on Monday, but on Sunday the
Goth, she hoisted anchor, got under way and
left the harbor probable for Vancouver.
The mines continued to yield abundantly
and it is believed the yield will exceed that
of any previous year.
An immense piece of gold was taken out
by company Of five men in Calaveras Co.,
weighing 1909 pounds and valued at $685., 9l6.
Platinum is found in considerable gu; nti-
ties on the North Fork of the Trinity river,

Humboldt route.
Advices from Portland, Oregon, state that
line of telegraph is about to be built from
that place to Salem and Valparaiso.
