IMPORTANT TO FAMILIEs.--We would refer
our readers to the advertisement of B. T. Bah.
bitt, in another column. Mr.. B, has long been
known as a manufacturer of Potash, Salerstus,
Soda, Soap Powder, and other kindred articles.
His potash is sealed up in tin cases, of six
pounds each, expressly for family use, and its
advantages over the common potash are said
to be very great. With it, soap of every kind
can be made in three or four hours, and with
very little trouble. 1t is also suitable for wash
ing, removing grease from floors, tables, &c.,
also, for manuring gardens, 4 C., cleaning type,
and numberless other purposes. Mr.. Babbitt
is also manufacturer Of very superior article
of Saleratus, put up neatly in one pound papers.
With this article, bread, cakes, biscuit, &C.,
can be made and baked in thirty minutes or
less, and with a saving of -four over yeast Of
twenty five pounds to the Dbl. Every family
should give these articles trial, and we are
assured they will use no other.

From the New York Tribune
News from Portsmouth and Norfolk.


DR.. Buggs,of Wayne county. Penn. who had
been at Portsmouth for the past five weeks,
and has himself been down with the fever, ar,
rived in this city this evening on his return
home.
We learn from him that there was decided
abatement in the epidemic both at Portsmouth
and Norfolk, but more from want Of material
TO work upon than from any real abatement Of
the pestehce.
The Irish and German families that have en-
camped in tents and shanlies in the Pine
Woods about two miles from the city, have
been invaded by the pestilence in their retreat,
and forced to return to the city. Many Of their
number die more from exposure than from the
fever. The deaths for the first three days Of
the week were only 2l in Portsmouth. show
ing great decrease over the proceeding three
days of last week
Out Of twenty five volunteer physicians that
have been on duty at Portsmouth, nine have
died. ten have had the fever and recovered,
one was still down Dr. Thomas, of Cincinna-
ii, OHIO but hopes were entertained of his
recovery. and four were still let on duty that
had thus far escaped the disease. Only four
resident physicians have died in Portsmouth,
In Norfolk eleven residents and twelve or
thirteen volunteer physicians have been cut
down by the pestilence. They came to con-
quer. Full Two thousand persons have died in
Norfolk from the fever, and $50 in Portsmouth,
as fan as can be ascertained, With two. or
three exceptions only, all the volunteer physici-
ans at Portsu outh. have been Northern men,
and in Norfolk nearly all the volunteers have
been from the South. The mortality conse~
quently has been much greater among the VOL
unteers at Portsmouth than at Norfolk in pro-
portion, for not less than rs or 80 physicians
have volunteered their services at Norfolk
since the epidemic began; but only l2 or l3
are recorded dead from the whole number.
1t is the opinion of the physicians both at
Portsmouth and Norfolk that residents that are
away should by no means return till after a
sharp frost, as there is no safety as yet from
Immediately taking the disease on returning to
either city. During the past week several
that have returned have been taken down very
suddenly aud died.
Due notice will be given by the Medical
Board remaining at either place when the ep-
idemic has so far abated as to allow residents
who now are abroad to return with safety,

Tsr DESERTED WIFE, by Mrs. Emma D. E.
N.Southworth, Author of 'The Missing Bride,
or, Miriam, the Avenger,' The lost Ieress,
.'The Wife's Victory Etc. J. B. Peterson IO2
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia Publisher,
book of 600 pages, neatly bound in cloth,
Price Sl,25.
We have, through the kindness Of the Eub-
Usher, been favored with m advance copy of
the above work and we are happy to announce
il as one of ofunusual power and thrilling inter-
est. The scene is laid in one of the southern
States, and the story gives a picture OF the
manners and customs Of the planting gentry,
in an age not fur removed blckw ard from the
present. The characters are drawn with
strong hand, and the book s5ounl, with scenes
ofintense in!erest, the whole plot being wrough!
we are confident, can read it without acknowl-
edging that it possesses more than ordinary
merit. The author is a writer of remarkable
genius and rignalIty--man'esting wonderful
power in the vivid depicting Of character, and
in her glowing descriptions of scenery. The
purpose of the author, professedly, is TO teach
the lesson, that the fundamental causes of un-
happiness IN a married life, are a defective
moral and physical education, and premature
contraction of the matrimonial engagement,
'The Deserted Wife will doubtless rank as
one of the brightest and purest ornaments a.
mong the literature of this country.

interesting to majority Of our readers. We

MEssRs EpIToRs.
By your permission, will
say few words through the columns of your
paper to your numerous readers about the
State of Iowa, its natural beauties. its future
destiny, and its political prospects at this
time.
Doubtless, majority of your readers, as
veil as myself, Lave had their own peculiar
notions about the State Of Iowa, but visit
from the most skeptical will forever despel
aher contrary ideas if any were entertained,
that Iowa is not truly great State.
When made up my mind to emigrate to
the far west, | had my choice. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, California, Oregon, Kanzao and
Nebraska, all lay spread cut before me, each
offering their advantages and disadvantages,
but from a calm and unbiased meditation, 10.

The soil of Iowa is as good as man can wish,
and readily rears all that he wishes to SOW and
plant, and that too in its perfection. l have
resided for one and twenty years adjacent to
your county, on the Sandy Valley, and for two
years in your beautiful town, but | must say,
the soil of those portions form no comparison
to the soil out here. It's true, men who have
come from the mountainous, regions of the old
Keystone State, and pitched their tent in Lit
tie Carroll and have been for years tilling the
soil, think that their crous are good. Well, it
is perhaps better to think so and remain salts.
