UNITED STATES MAIL LINE FROM NDEpEND
ENCE. MO. TO SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO

ENCE MO-, TO SANTA FE NEW MEXICO.
We desire to call the attention of those who may
have 10 cross the plains, from the States to and
from New Mexico TO the advertisement under the
above head, which will be found in another part Of
our paper. We are Informed that the success Of
this important public measure, is mainly owing to
the ndomable energy and perseverance, Of Col Hall,
the contractor for carrying the mail ON this danger.
GUS wilderness r6ite. lie coh,metccd Thinning his
mail stages the first of July 1850, and mp to tho
present day he has only been thrice behind contract
time. When the difficulties, and the distance $50
miles-arc considered, this must be considered The
most successful staging on record.
From various causes, the Indians on this route are
disposed to be troublesome, as will be seen by the
letters of Mr. Blake and Mr.. Yost published in the
Union day OF twoago ; but this is to provided
against for the future. We are informed BY COL Hail.
that upon hismaking representation to the admins
taton of the present and apprehendcd dangers from
the Indians on his route, and the exposed condition
Of trade and travel over the whole road tho Secre-
tary Of War very promptly agreed to give him an
escort to protect the mail and passengers whenever
he might deem it necessary to do so. When this
necessity arises Colonel Hall will be allowed to call
on the commanders Of the military posts At Forts
Riley and Union for tho necessary escort, and they
will lie ordered to furnish it. Two more military
posts are TO be cstablished-one at, or near the
Pawnee Fork, and the other on the Upper Gmcron
river; and the old Fort ST. vrain is to be reestab
lshed.
The prompt manner in which the administration
has acted in this matter is deserving of the highest
comnlendation. Especially will the people of Mis-
souri, and New Mexico applaud the patriotic spirit
aud just policy which direct these important meas
urcs for their safety and protection

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET.

From well-written notice of the President and
his cabinet in late number Of the Providence Post
we make the following exiract:
That President Buchanan possessed unusual advan-
ages for the work OF selecting his cabinet apparent to
ALL His long and intimate acquaintance with the lead
ing statesmen of the country that too In times cal
cuated to develop not only their ability but their
strength integrity and fitness for the performance OF I'M
portant duties him ample qualifications for his deli
cate task STILL we cannot but think that he pccu
arly fortunate with all and that the manifest success Of
every department Of the government is giving daily evil
dence of this fact
.Thc statesmen selected by Mr.. Buchanan for his
stitutiona advisers all who have shown them
selves possessed Of broad national views capable Ut rising
above all sectional exctelnents and controversies, aid Of
looking the whole country and all its diversified in
tcrcsts--mcn who have been identified with the great
leading of the democratic party and stood and
successfully vndicated its policy in days Of adversely "
well as Of prosperity. lApas .F4
.We are prompted to these remarks at this time by
noticing in the Washington Union copied from the Ra
leigh North Carolinn) Standarda wellwrtten bogph-
ica sketch Of the present distinguished Secretary Of the
Interior the Hon. Jacob Thompson, Of mississippi We
very well recolect Mr. Thompson in the Democratic Ma
tonal Convention in 1852 The difficulties and trials
under which that convention labored we'll known.
The exciting questions Brought to bear upon its mem
bcrs the diversified views that existed in relation to
nominee the long and fitless ballongs led many to
fear that the convention would adjourn without even
making nomination Among the men OF mark in that
convention fom the SOUTH whose influence exerted
throughout its proraced sittnes for peace and harmony
we especially remember the Hon. Mr. Thompson, and
Gov. Brown, the present Postmaster General
Mr.. Thompson has shown himself emincntly htted
for the important varied and constantly du
ties of the Interior Department He has large executive
ability, great industry, much knowledge Of men, and,
combined with ALL natural aality, which make friends
of all that come about him.

land, which acts directly upon the causes OF
disease in the blood, and by restoring the cor
rupted fountain Of life to Il condition of health
and purity, expcls disease from the system
wherever it may be located, or whatever may
be its character. Indigestion, nervous COM
plants, epiieptic and oihcr fits, coughs, con
sumption in its early stages, sore throat, brou-
chitis, fever and ague, asthma, low spirits, sex
the skin, s~ymptomatic of paralysis, Iheuma-
tude and debility, diarIhe, and all other dis
orders of the organs of respiration, the liver,
the kidneys, the stomach, the nerves, or the
muscular fibre, are unerringly cured by this
preparation. 1t is TO the BEAIrKIEs MCRBI, or
seeds of disease. what an alEali is to an acid 4;
it neutralizes them with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY,
while at the same time it regulates the secre-
tons, removes distractions from the bowels,
creates appetite, renews bodily vigor, and re-
generates every animal function. Such is the
nature, such are the effects Of DR.. Koback's
famous SCAxDLSAvIAN BLOOD PrRx1ER, which,
taken in conjunction with his BLEED Pills, VIII
not only obliterate the most painful diseases,
but prevent their recurrence, and lengthen life

DR. RoBAcK-Sir,-The last three bottles o
your Blood Purifier and the accompanying
Pills, have relieved me OF the last vestige Of
my rheumatism. l consider the cure. all but
miraculous. After having suffered the most
acute agony, almost without intermission, for
eight years, and being for three years a cripple,
| can scarcely realize the fact that at this mo-
ment, after having used your Scandinavian
Remedies for only three months and q few days.
l am 9 hale, hearty man, capable of manual
labor, and entirely free from pain. When I
first applied to you, by letter, for q supply of
your medicines, l was little better than a an
natical skeleton. For more than two years I
had never enjoyed one hour of unbroken night
rest, and my mind sinking with my body had
become greatly enfeebIed, the very first bottle
of the Purifier wrought a surprising change for
the better in my system, and after taking that
wonderful restorative, together with the Blood
Pills, for one month, I felt that n complete re-
generation of every animal function was in
progress. l was not deceived. l am now, at
81 years Ct age, as free from every symptom of
rheumatism as I was at 20. There can be no
doubt that this wonderful cure is due to your
remedies alone, and | am willing, if it viii
serve you or induce others to seek relief from
the same source, that Ills letter should be made
public.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

The Proprietor of the Extract of Canchaiaguat
has noticed In tho Ithaca Journal of March last, 9
spurious article advertised as Cauchalagua, and
deems it his duty to expose so glaring a fraud upon
the pubic. No such publication ever appeared In
the Boston Times as is therein quoted the portion
which tefers to the abuneance of the plant IN the
Highlands of Scotland, is an InterpolatioHt ana
into Scotland and could cot have found its way
into Ithaca, except through himself, as he holds
possession ofthe entire shipments of the article
into this country from California and in evidence
ofthe same, as no description OF the plant has yet
appeared in any public work in this country, he
offers as an inducomsnt to the truth, ONE HUN
DRIED DOLLARS for a correct description of said
plant- OF a sin gle ounce ofthe genuine plant IL fur
nished to the Editor, of this paper within tUo days
after the publication of this advertisement. 1.-THE
parties interested have any reputation at stake,
they will give it their etteItion.
