CAUSE OF THE WAR.-A corrcspon.

editors inquirns the cause of the pre-
sent war in Europe, but that they all
have failed to cnlighten him. He
now applies to US. 1t is a long story.
if told in the style of British Review
ers and Journalists; but told in Yam.
kee style, it is very short one.
Nicholas Of Russia coveted his neigh.
"o''s Turkey, and considering himself
the be .t''knite aud fork" in Europe
proposed to lilnselfthc agreeable task
of roasting and carving his neighbours
fat fowl. But he knew that John Bull
was troubled with an excellent appc
lite, and was Il famous carver, aud.
TINT, tu secure his good will, an invi-

necessary. So Nicholas gave brother
John very polite and special invita-.

John, however, had very sensitive

He saw that Nicholas was bent on

solved to be 'lirn" in the way. So
conceaIns his chagrin, he reproved
Nicholas mildly ON the sin of stealing
his neighbor's Turkey-just at that
time and hastened to inform Louis
OF what was "up."
Louis was thrown into n tow erinp

FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU,

HELMBOLD's HIGHLY CONCENTRATED COMPOUND
FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU,
For diseas of the Bladder and Kidneys, Obstruc
tions fthe Urine, Chronic GOnorrh9a, Structures,
elects, Weaknesses, and all diseases of the Sex
ual Organs, whether in Male or Female, from
whatever cause they may have originated and no
matter of how long standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease which,
when seated in the system, will surely go down
from generation to another, undermining the
constitution and sappng the very vital fluids oflife,
do not trust yourself in the hands of quacks, who
start up every day and fill the papers with false
hoods, too well calculated to deceive the Young and
those not acquainted with their tricks. You cannot
be too careful in the selection of remedy in these
cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounced
by eminent physicians the greatest remedy ever
known. 1t is medicine perfectly pleasant in its
taste and very innocent in its action, and yet so
thorough that it annihilates every particle of the
rank and poisonous virus of this dreadful disease ;
and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up the
disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility. broughton by self-abuse
most terrible disease which has brought thousands
of the human to untimely graves, thus blasting
the brilliant hopes of parents, and blghtingn the
bud the glorious ambition of many a noble youth,
can be cured by this InfallibIe Remedy. AEdas a
medicine which must benefit everybody from the
simply delicate to the confined and despairing inva-
lid, no equal is to be found, acting both a cure
and preventive.

We notice this paragraph simply to do justice to the
gentleman assaed and not TO expose of the myriad
fsehoods concocted here and poured upon the country
through the columns of the New York Herald That were
an endless task.
The Of Mr. Perkinss visit Governor Marcy is
gross deliberate and unredeemed fabrication Not only

exremenot only the interview agreeable and unre-
served-but nothing said, either side, to give
color to utter alsehood the above. Indeed
the whole course of this gentleman since be has been

utter indifference to public station. lie declined being
candidate for reelection and has repeatedly refused
nominations for other and higher positions in his
State; and think there is office in the Presidents

not initiate the nothDgs similar occasions who were
mperatvey kept away by resolutions of lodges
to that effect
Let the Judge have full hearing, if only from curiosity
to see how his ingenuity approach making the
worse appear the better reason
Let the opponents OF the ORDER whose cause he the
exponent listen to him courteousy and respectfully. This
is due him gentleman, and stranger coming among us
to talk of matters interesting to all and due fellow
citizens who agree with him in sentiment and desire that he
be heard for his cause 1t due great and
noble principles The friends Of the great party that has

Alabama in Texas, afford to listen smiling good tenn
