PROF. @. J. WoOD-Dcar Sir: Some time last
summer we were induced 10 use some of sour Hair
Restorative, and its effects We're SO wonderfulthat
we feel it our duty to you and the afflicted, to re-
port it.
Our little sons head had for some time been per-
fcctly covered with sores, and some called it scald
head. The hair almost entirely came OF In con
sequence, when a friend, seeing his suherings, ad-
visedus TO use your Restorative, we did so with
little hope of success, but, to our surprise, and
removed the disease entirely, and i new and
luxuriant crop of hair soon started out, and We
can now say that our boy has as healthy a scalp,
and as iuXuriant a crop of hair as any other child.
We can therefore, and do hereby Recommend your
Restorative, as a perfect remedy for al diseases
ofthe scalp and hair. We are, yours respectfully,

UPROAR AMONG THE OFFICEHoLDERs-The
announcement contained in our Washington
despatch of yesterday to the effect that Mr..
ney, had been removed from Office, created q
terrible trepidation in the Custom House, Post
Office, Assay Office, Navy Agency, Surveyors
Office, and other places where the spoilsmen
generally congregate The prompt action Of
the government at Washington has frightened
the offceholders to most extraordinary de-
gree, and several of the opposition journals, in
commenting upon the matter, pronounce the
most melancholy diatribes, predicting the utter
downfall of the administration of Mr. Buchanan.
We incline to the opinion that he has taken the
very best means of keeping it up.
Mr. John McKeon has held the office of United
States District Attorney for some time II is
an honorable, dignifed and responsible posi-
ton. Mr.. John McKeon, however, while hold
ing this position went out of his way to inter
fere in a recent election; and in the Academy
of Music surrounded by the leaders of the oppo-
sition, he pronounced a speech which was cha
racterized by sentiments and language that
never should have fallen from the lips of any
dignifed gentleman, and which was in still
worse taste In coming from an officer of the fe-
deral government We have no doubt that this
speech so gross and indecent in words and SEN
timents, was the chief cause of Mr.. McKeon's re-
moval, and for such cause the President is fully
and entirely justified in every respect. For his
TRADE at the Academy McKeon fully deserved
removal, and he has received his deserts.
But this is not all. We have reason to be-
leve that thorough and searching investiga-
tiOn is now going on with regard to the per-
sons holding positions in the Custom House,
Post Office, Navy Agency, Assay Office, Sur
veyor's Office, and perhaps some other depart
ments of the government. All the oficehold-
ers who contributed to the recent defeat of the
democracy in this city will be removed, and
their places supplied with frmer and truer men.
We advise them to pack up, bag and baggage,
and prepare for a journey in the wilderness
with Chevalier Greeley, Captain General Webb,
the Little Villain" Mademoisele Biddy Bige-
low, and the rest of the opposition forces We
care very little about these movements among
the spoilers. So far as the distribution of office
is concerned, we are merely lockers on in
Vienna. We care no more for Mayor Wood
than for Mayor Tiemann. We only desire to
sec fair play. But we do think that this purg-
ing process of the administration is the only
means by which the speedy dissolution of the
party can be prevented.

NEw VIEW OF THE POSITION or THE FIJI
BusTKRs.-Our advices from Washington tell ms
that General Walker and Senior Yrisarri, the
newly received Minister from Nicaragua, I'M
derstood each other perfectly before the depar-
ture Of the flibusters; and that not only has
Walker been invited back to Central America
with the connivance Of the President Of Nicara-
qua but that he was informed of the tenor OF
the new treaty between the government at
Washington and that Of President Martinez
This puts an entirely new aspect upon the
whole flibustering movement. If Walker has
been invited back to assist Nicaragua to reco-
yer her rightful possessions and the forts on the
San Juan river, and II TO act In conjunction
with the new government there in the war
against Costa RIGA, he will not be looked upon
as an invader on the soil of Nicaragua, and
may be hailed with joy. The money and men
which y J. well known be has raised In this
country-some Of which have gone and others
are ready to follow-will prove powerful aid
to Nicaragua, not only in regaining possession
Of the forts on the river and of the province Of
Guanacaste, but also for carrying out The
scheme Of making herself the preponderating
Power In Central America, and regeneratinQ
the whole country.
II il well known that Walker raised in the
South contributions in money amounting to
somewhere between $500, 900 and $500, 700, part

q force which would overcome all opposition,
their answer wss:--"We are aware that such will
be the case, but when those troops arrive they
will find Utah desert--every house will be
burned to the ground, every tree cut down, and
every field laid waste. We have three years
provision on hand, which we will 'cache," and
then take to the mountains, and bid defiance to
all the powers Of the government"
That Brigham will carry out his threat of
making Moscow of Utah is quite pos
sible, but that he will shut himself up
years supply of provisions, and our
troops occupying all the arabic land, SO that
he must starve when his provisions are con-
sumed we do not believe. A man might very
we'll take care Of himself in the mountains;
but if he had thirty wives and some thirty or
forty small children to look after and provide
for, as has the yirtuous Heber G. Kimball, the
undertaking would be much more difficult. We
are therefore of the opinion that the Mormons
intend to favor some other country with their
presence, where they will not be annoyed by
the stars and stripes-and there is no country
more inviting or more convenient than Sonora.
The Mormons have been quietly, but steadily
pushing their settlements towards Mexico, and
they already extend four hundred miles to the
south Of Salt Lake City-more than half way to
the Mexican frontier-and should they decide
upon moving in that direction they can be be-
yond our boundary before we can reach them,
as the country to the south of Salt Lake City
can be traversed at all seasons of the year.
We trust the Saints will decide upon such a
move, and thereby relieve us of the disagree
able duty Of exterminating them. In Sonora
they would have the opportunity to dcvelope
the beauties of their religion, and if itcontains
within itself the seeds of its own destruction
as we all believe it does-it will crumble to
pieces and disappear, and will be numbered
with the numerous false religions that have
sprung up and had their day, and are now only
known in history.
