ia. RHODES, Esq: Dear Sir-AsT took
your medicine to sell on consignment, mo cure,
no pay. l take pleasure in stating lis effects as
reported to inc by three brothers who live in this
place, and their Testimony is a fail specimeno Of all
| have received:
W. CoNxLlN told me-'Ihad taken nine bot
ties of Christie's Ague BalSam, and continually
run down while using it until my lunysand liver
were Congested te that degree, that blood dis
charged from my mouth and bowels, 50 that all
thought it impossible for Inc 10 live through an
other chill. The doctors too, did all they could
for me, but thought ] must die. Nothing did me
any good until | got Rhodes Fever and Ague
Cure, which at once relieved me OF the distress
and nausea at my st9inachc, and pain in my head
aad bowels. and produced u permanent cure in a
short time
II, NJ. CoxkLIN says: had been taking med
icine Of as good a doctor as we have in our coun-
ty, and taken any quantity Of qlinine and speci-
tcs without any good result, from 25th August
to 18th December. But seeing how nicely it OPP
Grated on my brother. | got a bottle of RHODES
FEVER AND AGUE CURE, which effected a
permanent cure by using two-thirdso OF a bottle"
SIN CoNKLIN was not here, but both tue other
brothers say his case was the same as Ii. Ms
l sold tho medicine to both theslmc day and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity
and | might SO specify. loars With respect.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it
is, il is Of no better tenor than the vast number
of like certificates / have already published, and
the still greater amount that is continually pour
ing in to Inc.
One thing more. Last year had occasion to

ITO the Editor Of the Senlinell
AehiIIe Murat and the Hon. Miss
NEW YORK, March 10, l856.

New YORK, March 10, 1856.
SIR: Permit me through your columns tc
correct the misstatement of facts in the an
ecdotes related by Miss Murray, in her recent
publication, of Achille Murat,
The writer was intimately acquainted with
him for years, and positively refute these un-
just assertions.
Achil'e Murat was possessed not only of a
high order of intellect, and the most extensive
and varied information, but was the soul of in
friend, a kind master, sincere and atiectionate
in all his domestic and social relations; warm
partisan in our political contests, his motives,
and principles were never impunged by his
bitterest political enemies. In fact, his frank
and manly generous nature so won upon his
opponents, that on one occasion his antagonist
in duel (caused by some misunderstanding
during heated canvass, left the field Of honor,
converted into staunch friend.
Lipona (his estate in Florida,) was the seat
Of a refined and extended hospitality. He
possessed the friendship and esteem of the
most estlmaOle clllZens, ana enjoyed deserved
popularity with all classes of the community.
1t is true that he was n firm believer in the
destiny" of his race, and had an instructive
appreciation of the high qualities which have
since marked the career OF Louis Napoleon.
Those eloquent words, then listened to, and
needed only as bright poetical visions, now
bear the impress OF prophecy.
The date of his death is alone a sufficient
refutation of part of the assertions against
him. 1t occurred on the 10Th of April, l847,
previous to the revolution which banished Louis
Philippe from France. Miss Murray believes
her " stories" to be genuine, yet acknowledges
that she seldom gives credence to second hand
information.
All her statements with regard to Achille
Murat are entirely erroneous. His family re-
lations in America were eminently happy-he
having married Miss Willis, who is not only
possessed of every womanly attraction, but can
also claim consanguinity with the Father
of our country, both parents Of Madame Murat
being Washington's relatives. Her mother
was Miss Lewis, whose grandmother was
General Washington's own sister. All who
enjoyed the privilege of knowing personally
Achile Murat, can testify that his character
for justice, truth, and honor, was without re-
proach. r. s.

In the delay attending the organization Of
the House, il is matter Of congratulstion
that the members of both branches of the Ma
tonal Legislature can, without violating their
political principles, settle upon one popular can
didate for their favor. Mr.. Fox, in his capacity
Tailor, representing commerce, has ever
merited and continues 10 receive the distinguished
title of Leader Of Fashions Of the United States
To that laudable distinction he has been elevated
by the unanimous sufirages Of the people. He
has had the happy faculty of uniting the dissen.
tient voices in the realm OF fashion, and now
represents them in one undivided sentiment
The House of Representatives has been at loss
for leader for some time, but the Representa-
tive of Fashion is always organized. The fashions
in the plastic hand of art is TO the skill of the
artist what the disorganzed elements OF the
Representative Assembly are 10 the genius OF the
orator. The one succumbs 10 the taste OF the
artist, the other is subdued by the eloquence Of
the. orator. What the latter is 10 the Congress
sional Assembly, GEORGE p. Fox is 10 the Popular
Assembly of Fashion. We have thus far insii
tuted parallel, but parallels only run closely 10 a
certain point, thence they diverge, and thus it is
with our leaders Of fashions and our leaders Of
politics. The Speaker OF Fashion (for such we
will designate our representative Is never al a
loss for the right fit the right man, and the
right man is never al loss for the right fit when
he applies 10 our leader His vote is never cast
away, nor yet his money. Both are equally well
and safely invested Unanimiiy of opinion can
not be supposed TO always exist in political as
semblies OF men representing diversity of prn-
ciplss, but in the realm Of fashion there can be
but one opinion, and that is that there is but
American fashion and GEo. p. Fox is its leader.
