The first session of the present Congress was
brought to close yesterday, at noon. The two
Houses were in session from Satu'd day morning
until Sunday morning, at half past four o'clock /;
thus dovoting themselves ndustriously TO the
work before them, toward the Time fixed for the
adjournment All the general appropriation and
other important bills were passed, excepting that
for the support Of the army, involving expendi-
lures TO the amount Of fourteen millions Of dol
lars This was defeated by the I" Black Repub
cans" in the House, who lenaciousIy adhered to
their amendment restricting the operations Of the
army in Kansas and proposing 10 disarm the
militia They even refused 10 extend the time Of
the session two hours beyond the time heretofore
fixed for that purpose. The factious scheme has
thus succeeded; aud we have no doubt that The
country will pronounce just condemnation upon
their revolutionary movements. Many private
bills failed to receive the signature Of the Presi-
dent of lhe United States for want Of time.

Of personal wishes. II ia day for patriotism
TO do its natural ofice--a day for sacrifices in
behalf Of our country, that we may preserve its
institutions and strengthen the bonds of its
Union Either with a nomination, therefore,
or without one, should cheerfully acquiescs
in any course by which the influence Of the
Wings Of Massachusetts can be thrown boldly
and decisively against the doctrines on which
the republican candidate is supported. This
seems to be an indispensable condition, to be
acted upon by those who are determined to give
no countenance to division of the people Of
the North from the.peoPle Of the South. Every
high public motive urges US to act with decision
and frmness. Whatever may be our relative
strength in this State, we are not powerless. We
can send forth voice that will be heard through
out the vast extent Of our common country;
that will everywhere animate the patriot, every
where encourage true devotion to the Union,
everywhere multiply the hosts who are battling
in its defence, everywhere allay the sectional
jealousies and subdue the sectional passions
that are now tearing our peace. If we are not
equal to this achievement-our mission is in
deed ended, and our glory is to be found only in
the past
remain, dear sir,
Very respectfully yours,
GEO. CURTIS"

JOYCE's TAsTELEsS SOLUTION
or Copaabai ia Chambers stleet, N. Y,
It'd THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
~ EcNTl II n H n The vain HE medicine


X ENTLENsEN.-The valuable medicinal
W properties Of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from it's nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented its administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual ssodus operandT' Of prescribing IL, either
in the form OF an Emulsion or GclatiQous Cap
sues, has not been found satisfactory, being liable
to some objection, either from the difficulty cxpe
ricnced by some individuals in the deglutlion OF
the Capsule or the small quantity Of Copaiba gen.
orally found in the Emulsion.
Joyces tasteless solution OF Copaba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced to the
medical profession, as il contains 80 per cent. OF
the purest Para Copaiba, without taste or smell,
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water, and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians and analytical chemists in the old and
now worlds to contain all the medicinal proper
ties Of Balsam Copaiba without its disagreahle
characteristics.
II is an efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rhera, Lcucorrhss, elect, painful hemorrhoidai
affections, and in chronic irritation OF the bladder.

When entrusted with his countrys flag on

to commence the FIRST .fiibustero enterprise:
"Stand and deliver?'
Insolent and insubordinate, refusing to obey

"The army swore terribly" dismiss me bully

Acquired the Mariposa claim-the powerful
incentive to rash enterprises: "Money makes

Selfconceited and obstinate, he rejected the
advice Of experienced guides, rushed into inn
passable mountains and SHOWS and deserted his
men to perish without food or shelter: "As
am lame, l will start first"
Discovered Coochatope for railroad, only

straightest; and the highest pass amid eternal
