A SURE AND SAFE CURE FOR REMIT
IA tent and Intermittent Fevers, and also
most eHectual cure for all the secondary dis
eases accompanying these fevers, such as Liver
Complaint, Neuralsi Indigestion, and Enlarge
ment OF the Spleen, or Ague Cake. For inter-
mitent Fever, or Fever and Ague these pills
are undoubtedly the most effectual and safe rem
edy in the krown world. They may be taken
at any stage Of the disease as well in the cold
stage as i'll the hot. These pills not only stop
the Chills and Fever, but they remove from the
system all secondary Affections which remain
after the of other remedies, to reproduce
the disease again. In this respect we claim a
superiority over every other remedy which has
been offered to the public. There is paper
round each box. under the label, containing
short history of the causes of the fevers of this
country, ald the effects and operation of the
remedy which propose. These pills are
made and put up in he city of Marysville, Yuba

The Mint.

The U. s. Branch Mint in San Francisco has
recently undergone improvements, and
has been put in complete order for the business
ct the coming year. II is believed that from
thrty-six to forty millions of dollars will be
coined at this establishment in the next twelve
months. There now struck in the Branch
Mint. twenty, ten. FIVE and three dollar pieces.
The latter COINS three and five dollars are to be
turned out in much greater quantities than here
tofore, in order to furnish change for the trans
action of business.
The institution has been well managed since
its doors were first thrown open to the public,
and we have never heard one word of fault
found, further than at one time it could not turn
out coin as fast gold dust carried in. But
now, with the improvements which have been
recently Introduced. it will doubtless furnish all
the coin desired.
p. F. Lott, Esq, the present Superintendent,
is doing his utmost to put the mint in such
condition us to meet the wants of the commu-
nifty. Mr.. Lott is popular and gentlemany in
his intercourse with the public, and indeed we
may say that every person connected with the
MINT watches his department closely, and all are
popular. The San Francisco Branch Mint is one
OF the few government institutions in California
of which no complaints made The selec
tons of officers have been admirable, thus far,
since its organization.

SToP THAT Know NOTHING EDIroR.-We learn
from the Florence (Ala.) Gazette, that Charles L.
Wheeler, who edited a Know Nothing sheet pub
lished in that town, has absconded, leaving his
Know. Nothing admirers gaping in silent won
der. We noticed in the last Athens (Ala.) Her
aid some serious charges against him. The
Herald had by some means got hold of copy of
an Abolition paper which he (Wheeer) edited
in Concord, New Hampshire. in 1852. This pa
per called the IriJune, and was notorious
for lis Abolition proclivities This was too much
for Wheeler. He was taken with a leaving on
the night of the 4h inst, and has left vacant the
editorial chair of the american Democrat which
affords fine opening for some young Know
Nothing aspirant after editorial honors.
In the late Virginia canvass, Wheeler edited

The DIcovERY OF GoLD.-The Empire Coun-
ty Argus says: Some evil disposed persons are
ry to the character and claims of Marshall, the
discoverer of gold in this place. We desire to
state positively that all reports about his intem-
perance and insanity are without foundation in
truth. Persons residing in this town who
were upon the spot when the first piece of gold
was picked up by Marshall. They award to
him the credit of the discovery, and never until
lately has it been questioned. The first piece
OF geld found in this town is now in the posses
sion of Mrs Weimmer, vino resides in this place.
She received it from Marshall himself, and has
always said that Marshall found it.

PRoMoTED.-The San Francisco Sun. informs
US that second Lieutenant George II Derby, bet
ter known to our readers as John Phoenix, or
Squibob, has been promoted to First Lieuten-
ancy in the U. S. Typographical corps
AS civilian readers will not comprehend
without explanation. that first Leutenancy in
tue Army is any great shakes, win take the
trouble to show them that Mr.. Derby has achiey-
ed considerable distinction. The cadets at
West Point pass their examinations in the fol-
lowing order of merit First. Military Engin-
GERS; second, Typographical Engineers third
Artillery; fourth, Dragons; and fifth, Infantry.
The additions made to the Army by the late act
of Congress do not affect the Military OF Topo-
graphical corps, which properly belong TO the.
staff; but are added to the regiments of the line;
consequently no promotions effected in the
two first mentioned corps by that increase, but
the officers rise by regular gradation-so that in
reality, the position of Lieut. Derby is one of
much importance, and the nature of his duties
makes it also one of much responsibility
Typographical Engineers being the u States
corps of National Surveyors. Mr.. Derby counts
many warm and attached friends in this country
who are much the admirers of his admirable
qualities of heart, of the abilities of his head

PURCHASE OF CUBA.-A letter from London to
the New York Courier and Enquirer, informs the
public that the purchase of Cuba by the United
States is possible, if the latter will give two
hundred millions of dollars, one-half to be ap-
piled to the liquidation of the foreign debt of
Spain, and the other half to the Liquidation of
the home debt One hundred millions of dollars
is about fifth of the face value of the foreign
debt of Spain, which stated in full is e lO0.-
100000, but the faith of Spain is of such nature
that the ond-holders would gladly accent one
hundred millions Of dollars from the United
States as full payment.

The SAs JcsE WILLS OF Robinson's great
artesian well some four miles from San Jose, the
Telegraph says:
The operators penetrated the earth to the
depth of 24S feet, letting down the whole dis )
tance double tube seven-inch pipe. Last week,
at the depth stated, most powerful stream Of
water was struck, which gushes up the pipe wild
almost inconceivable force. The top rim Of The
pipe is elevated about Is inches above The SUI
face of the ground. and someidea may be formed
of the strength of the current and the quaniity
of water discharged. from the fact that the water
is thrown FIVE feet ten inches in Perpendica-
lai column above the rim of the pipe.
Mr.. Gould estimates the quantity of water
thrown from this well to be about eight times
as great as is discharged from Mr.. Bontempt's
well, which has hitherto been regarded as the
largest stream of artesan water in the valley.

HoN. JOHN Y. MAsoS.-We are pleased to
see from the Richmond (va.) Enquirer that the
health of our Minister to France is entirely
restored, and that he is now in the full posses
sion of all his mental and physical faculties
For time 1t was feared that an attack of apo
plexy from which he had been suffering, would
render his recall necessary. Mr. Buchanan, our
Minister to England, is at home before this.
Most probably the approaching presidential
election has something TO do with his return.
