A Virginia correspondent of the Ma
tional Intelligencer breaches a sub
ject of the gravest consideration in the
subjoined letter
PETERSBURG, (VA) SEPT. II, 1855.
Threats of dissolution Of the Union
in the event of FREMoNT's election are
rife in the South from the mouth OF poll
ticians, many of whom, it will be OBJ
served, are advocates still, as theyhave
been for years past, of the doctrines
of notification and peaceable scces
sion. Such threats from such quarters
are entitled to be considered by patri-
OTIS only to be condemned by them.
No sentiment or act of the misguided
zealots of the North is moro essentially
factious than are such threats Of dis
union. The very men who are fore
most in putting forth such threats at
the same time make loud appeals to
the Constitution, and declare that they
are firm friends of constitutional Union.
They say give the South her rights,
according to the Constitution, and they
ask no more and all will and do
agree that the South should be salts
fled with no less. Well, if Fremont is
elected it will and must be as that
Constitution prescribes the election
shall be made. The Constitution does
not give the power to elect to the mi
nority and if the majority elect Ere
mont, his election will be in conform
ity with the Constitution. And then
it is, goes the threat, that this Union
is to be Immediately Observation-Disclosures
ed because, according to the Constitution,
a man has been elected by the major
ity who is distasteful to the minority !;
dissolved before he has done any act
in the Office, and indeed before he is
inaugurated. If such a course on the
part of the South would not be fac
tious, then there is no such thing as fac
ton in political society. If this would
not be faction, then no faction can ex-
list against established Government.

J. A. RHODES, Eso.-Dear Sir; AS took
your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure
no pay, / take pleasure in stating its effects as
reported to me by three brothers who live in
this place, and their testimony is a fair speci-
men of all have received:
w. S. Conklin told me- had taken nine
bottles of Christie Ague Balsam, and continu-
ally run down while using it until my lungs
and liver were congested to that degree that
blood discharged from my mouth and bowels,
so that all thought it impossible for me to live
through another chill. The doctors too did all
they could for me, but thought l 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 stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
a permanent cure in short time"
H. M. Conkln says 81 had been taking
medicine of as good doctor as we have in our
county, and taken any quantity of quinine and
specifics without any good result, from 25th
August to 18th December. But seeing how
nicely it operated on my brother, got bottle
of Rhodes Fever and Ague Cure, which effec-
ted q permanent cure by using two-thirds Of a
bottle
s. M. Conklin was not here, but both the
other brothers say his case was the same as H.
Ms. Isold the medicine to both the same
uay anu Ile cure was dS SPECIFY ITOHl the same
small quantity, and might SO specify.
Yours with respect,

words 81 notice one firm who have taken
one of my general circulars, substituted the
name of their nostrum for my medicine, and
then with brazen impotence send their pamph-

of any medicine say as much if he dares, &C.
