pleasure in stating its effects as reported to me by three
brothers who live in this place, and their testimony Is a

degree that blood discharged from my mouth and bow

threngk another eAiH. The doctors too did all they
could Tor me, but thought MAST die. Nothing did me
any good until l got RHODES FEVER AND AGrE CURE,
which at once relieved me Of the distress aud nausea al
my stomach aud pain in my head and bowels, aud produc-
ed a permanent cure in q short Time"
NJ. II. CosKIis says: ~ had been taking medicine OF
as good a doctor as we have in our county, and taken
from 2sth August to 18th December. But seeing how
nicely it operated on my brother, ! got R bottle OF
Rhodes Fever and Ague oure, which effected a perma-
neut cure by using two.thirds of a bottle.

New York, July 1.-THE steamer Afri-
ca arrived at IL O'Clock, with Liverpool
dates to June 28th..
The africa left Liverpool the afternoon
Of the 28th. The steamer Fashion was tel
egraphed off Southampton the morning the
Africa sailed.
Political affairs quiet.
In the House Of Commons on Friday
evening, Mr.. Moore endeavored to get a
night fixed for the discussion Of his motion
on American %affaits, but Palmerston declin.
ed to assume any responsibility either d.
rect or indirect in the matter, as he believed
in the present state of relations between the
two countries, It would conduce to settle
points in dispute to discuss the matter in
that House.
Mr.. Moore complained Of the unsatisfac
tory nature Of this reply, and insisted on the
right and duty of the House to pronounce
an opinion on the matter in question. The
papers contain two letters from the Earl Of
Clarendon, one upon the enlistment gees
ton, and the other upon the Central Amer
lean question.
Clarendon expresses his satisfaction that
Mr.. Dallas is authorizee to negotiate upon
the Central American question, and states
that he is prepared to enter into negotiations
which he trusts will be conducted in the
spirit Of cordially and frankness which is
dictated by the true sentiment of Great
Britain and the United States.
Correspondence between Denmark, Great
Britain and the United States, on the Sound
dues, has been presented to Parliament
Another battalion of rilemen have been Or
dered to Canada. Disturbances are rumored
in Spain, at Valenia. Some excitement
has been created in London by an incident
which ed to Mr. Dallas at the Queens
levee. Mr.. Dallas and friend went to the
levee. The latter's costume was not in
accordance with the regulations. Both gen.
tlemen returned to the embassy.
Out Of this incident the London Times
concocted an exciting story, the other pa
pers followed its lead. Mr.. Dallas for two
days labored under the imputation Of hav.
ing put 4 studied affront upon the Queen.
Advices from China state that the rebels
were within 80 miles Of Shanghai.

The following 10 from the New York In
dependent, the most influential religious pa.
per in the county
"Since our last issue we have had OPP
portunities to satisfy ourselves as to the po-
sition of Col. Fremont on the great ques-
ton at issue in the Presidential election,
and We feel authorized to assure our read
ers that there is no room to "doubt the
~thoroughness and inlexibiiity in his opposi-
ton to the spread Of Slavery" On this
point he il as r~esolute az Banks, or Sumner,
Chase or Seward.
Although the modest bearing of Col.
Fremont does not at once suggest the will
of Gen. Jackson, 1t soon becomes evident
that he possesses that quiet depth of prin.
ciple which gives real strength TO charac.
ter. A man Of evident sincerity, he is also
q man of perfect self control. His life
bears witness of the inf]exibility of his res
olution and to his chivalric enthusiasm, in
whatever cause or service he may engage
his powers. Now that he has been SO hon.
orably aud unanimously nominated at Phil.
adelphia, men of religious principle who
oppose the extension OF Slavery, may un-
hesitatiagly give him their confidence"

ofneial Report Of the Kansas Outrage.

The report of the Kansas Investigating
Committee is . voluminous document, &C.
cupying over sew enteen columns Of the N.
Y. Tribune. We have space but for the
facts and conclusions to which the Commit
tee arrive, after long, patient and thorough
investigation of the multitudinous facts that
came under their observation
Your Committee report the follow ing
facts and conclusions az established by the
testimony:
First: That each election in the Terrific.
~ held under the the organic alleged Terri
tori.l law has been carried by organized in
vasions from the State Of Missouri, by
which the people Of the Territory have
been prevented from exercising the rights
secured to them by the organic law.
Second: That the allee ed Territorial Leg
i~slature vas an illegally constituted body,
and had no power to pass valid laws,
and their enactments are therefore, null
and void.
Third: That these alleged laws have not,
as a general thing, been used to protect
persons and property and to punish wrong,
but for unlawful purposes.
Fourth: That the election under which
the sitting Delegate, John w. Whitfield,
holds his seat, was not heldin pursuance of
any valid law, and that it should be regard
ed only as the expression Of choi ce of those
resident citizens who voted for him.
Fifth: That the election under which the
contesting Delegate, Andrew H. Reeder,
claims his seat, was not held in pursuance
OF law, and that il should be regarded only
az the expression of the choice of the res
ident citizens who voted for him.
SirM: That Andrew II. Reeder received
a greater number of votes OF resident
citizens than John w. Whitfield for Dele.
gate.
Seventh: That in the present condition of
the Territory a fair election cannot be held
without a new ensus, a stringent and well
guarded law, the selection Of impartial
Judges, and the presence Of United States
troops at every place of election.
Eighth: That the various ele ctions held
by the people Of the Territory preliminary
to the formation Of the State Government
have been as regular as the disturbed condi-
ton of the Territory would allow; and
that the Constitution passed by the Con-
v%ention. held in pursuance of said elections,
embodies the will of a majority of the peo-
pie.
As it is not in the province of your Com
mittee to suggest remedies for the ext sting
troubles in Kansas, they content them
selves with the foregoing statements of
facts.
