RICHMOND, July 9th, 1855.
Nessrs. VIM. s. Beers Dc Co., Gents.-COnsidera-
sions of duty to the afflicted alone prompt me to
tend you this voluntary testimonial to the great
value of " Carriers Spanish Micture," for that al
most incurable disease, Scrofula.
Without being disposed or ~deeming it necessary
to go into the particulars of the case, I can say that
the astonishing results that have been produced by
the use of that medicine on 4 member of my own
family, and under my own observation and super
intendence, after the skill of the best physicians
had been exhausted and all the usual remedies had
failed, fully justify me in recommending its use to
all who may be suffering from that dreadful mala-
dy.
| do not mean to say that it is adapted to all
constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief
in all cases; for, of course, L can know nothing
about that-hut from what 1 have seen of the eff
fects, [ would not hesitate to use it, in any and
every case of S~crofula, with persons for whom I
felt an interest, or oyer whom / could exercise in
fuence or control. Respectfully yours,
JN0. M. Bolts.

from Capital Punishment. There is a slow torture
from which a respite is equally desirable. We re-
fer to dyspepsia word in which all the horrors
of indigestion are summed up. To the sufferers
by this painful and harassing disease, we can hold
out not only bright hopes, bat the certainty of i'm
mediate relief and permanent cure. There is q

and changes the morbid action of the stomach and

The Cause PROGRESSES.

The Temperance Cause has maintained q
steady progress since its principles were first
presented to the consideration ofthe masses.
hts friends have nothing to fear they have
truth and love, and mercy, and humanity,
and bumanity's God all on their side; and
IN spite Of all opposition that may Re brought
to bear against it, victory after victory must
and will crown the efforts Of those who strug-
gle to ameliorate the condition of man in
his degraded state Of inebriation. Every ad-
vance step that has been taken in the Reform
has smoothed the way for another the truths
OF the temperance gospel, though they may
have been gainsayed, have never been refu-
ted and however slow the public mind may
have been to receive these truths, they are
at this day so firmly rooted and grounded in
the hearts of the people that neither dema-
gogues or devils can dislodge them. They
are indellibly stamped npon the minds of the
people and craven upon the judiciary tablets
OF the country they ornament these tablets
with beautiful gildings and there they will re-
main while virtue and patriotism has a home
in the breasts Of our people. The cause pro-
gresses-let us be of good cheer and fight
valiantly against the monster fire ofGod and
man. X

BGT 1t is one of the most surprising facts
of the present enlightened age, that after all
the light shed upon the liquor trade by the
press, and now and then by the pulpit, the
church should continue to retain liquor sell
lors, wholesale or retail, as church members.
Just now there are scores of devout Baptists,
Presbyterians, Methodists and members ofoth-
er denominations, in their smoky still-houses
watching the drippings Of the cankered still

PROCLAMATION.

PROCLAMATION,
TNHE unusually heavy rains which have lately
4 fallen hcre-the vast accumulation Of dirt in
the drains and cellars of this city-tbe season Of
the year, and the prevalence Of an epidemic in our
immediate neighborhood, make il the duty If the
corporate authorities to take early steps Cor the
prevention of disease in our midst. We are adyi-
sed by the Physicians, that although no caase for
alarm exists, fthe city being at this time unusu-
ally healthy it viii not be safe, at this season Of
the year, to omit any proper preeaGtion. IL must
be obvious to you however, that this desirable OBJ
ject can only be attained by your hearty concur
renee in the action of the commissioners, and I
therefore Issue this my Proclamation, earnestly
and respectfully soliciting the cooperation and as
sistarce Of all good citizens. / beg that every in
habitant Of the city win make it his special bust
ness carefully to examine his own premises, and
to the end that every portion of the city may be
thoroughly cleansed and purified, to report to me
at this Office, where / may always be found, tho
existence of any local cause for disease. SO that
Imay cause the SAME to be removed without de-
lay. The commissioners have placed at my dis
posal a sufient quantity of lime and copperas for
free distribution-no one, therefore, can feel aim
self excused, for emitting to use them freely, for
the want of means, or By reason Of expense.

1900. Fader our hevene, Haleweyed be

our daily bread. Aud forgive us our dettes
as VIC also forgive our detters. And lead US

we're not aware of the changes which have
taken place in our language since its forma,

Lords Prayer at different periods. Read il

extracts may be made from our language a:

CONSTITUTION OF SUBoRDINATEs.-It was
reported in the Proceedings at the Session of
the N. D., 1854, that Article VI, of the Con-
stitution Of Subordinates, relating to Dues
and Benefits, had been stricken from the
Constitution. Finding that Article still re-
tanned in the Revised Constitutions, we wrote
TO the NJ. w. S., asking al explanation. and
have received an answer, which we copy, for
the purpose Of placing the matter in It's prop
or position. lie writes
Article vi, Constitution Of Subordinates,
is in0peratiue, as to weekly Dues and Initia-
ton Fees, bit an all other respects, Glive. 1t
was an oversight of the N. D. not to repeal
so much Of Article VI as was rendered null,
by the amendment of Article Y" (Which
authorizes each Division to regulate the a
mount of initiation fee and weekly dues.)E
Z" Many Representatives, were under the i'm
preston that Article VI was repealed. Di-
visions have the power, under Article Y, to
fix their initiation fees and weekly dues al

Admission of Females into the Order.
1T is we'll known to the members of our
Order, that the National Division has, long
since, made provision for the admission of
females into our Division rooms, leaving it
optional with the members Of each Subordi-
nate Division whether they adopt the regu-
lation or not.
We have for sale the Ritual prepared by
Gen. S. F. CARY, for the admission of females,
and consider it entirely worthy of its dis
tinguished author, decidedly chaste and ele-
giant, and SO admirably adapted to the pur-
pose, that, if the parts are properly perform
ed, the effect cannot but be highly interesting
and imposing.
We are decidedly in favor of the admission
of females into every Division under the iu-
risdiction of the National Division, and while
we are ready to admit that we may be mis-
taken as to the probable result, yet nothing
short Of a fair trial will satisfy US to the con-
trary and trust that none will condemn it
until it has been fairly and fully tested.
We agree with the S. c.. Temperance Stan
dard, that there are very few places at which
n gentleman Shou16 bo fDop1 1rboro his WI 6,
or daughter would be considered an intruder.
The influence of female society cannot but
tend to elevate and refine the rougher mate.

1t IS but simple justice to her as q beln:
