An advanced pulmonary complaint were as
certainad by an ascuithtion. The splitting of
blood, was stopped in tue course of five days
by administering one gramme of powdered
rue per day. DR.. Desmartis considers rue
(ruta graveoens) to be one of the best anti
hasmotatics known. After which the pa
tent took bottle of pine sap per day for the
space OF two months and half, at the end OF
which time her strength had returned, her
cheeks had resumed their former healthy
condition, aud every alarming symptom had
disappeared. The patient has suffered 10 re-

instances. He says that pain in the chest ID

The Washington correspondent OF the
Richmond South says:-"The race for loGO,
it 10 now evident, WILDE between MIR. Seward,
the Democratic candidate, (whoever he may
be, J and Mr.. Douglas. The latter does not
expect, of course to be elected but will hope
to get it into the House and there dictate
terms to the colored Republicans. lie pre-
sumes, naturally enough, that they will pre-
fer him to the Democratic candidate. lie is
msrshaling bis forces for this result, and is
determined to ':rule or ruin" With such a
prospect presented, is there no chance for
uniting majority Of the people and the
States upon, and securing the election of,
some conservative Statesman, who is not
mixed up with the passions and excitemcnts
of the day, who will administer the govern
mont upon the principles Of Washington, who
will know no section as a section, apart from
the whole country, and who will exert all bis
energies and all the influence of his station,
to the repression of agitation, the main
teuance of the rights of the States, and the
preservation Of the Union? We do not yet
despair.

Not at Home.

The deceptive art of polite society, in
which mot at home" is employed to convey
a false impression, not unfrequently fails Of
its aim. In classic history tue story is told
of ScIpiO Aasca, who vas a near neighbor
of Ennius, the poet; and calling one day upon
Ennius, he was met at the gate by the SER
want maid, who told him that her master was
not at home. But such was her manner,
that Scipio at once perceived that in go say
ing she had spoken falsely by the direction of
her master. 1t happened SOON after that En-
Mus called upon Scipio, who instead Of send
ing messenger to the door, cried out, "he
is not at home" To which Eunius replied,
Il know your voice. know you are at
home" But Scipio answering. said, You
are an impudent man. believed your maid
when she said you were not q: bone, but you
will not believe me when say it myself"

Aurora BorealIs,

Friday night the northern sky waa lighted
up by that beautiful celestial phenomenon
known AS the Aurora BOreals or Northern
light. 1t was first visible about II o'clock,
and continued for several hUurl.
The FIRST appearance was pale hight, like
that of the rising moon, which gradually In.
creased in briIIlancy, until that portion Of
the heavens was illuminated up to the zenith.
Strange, fantastic figures danced and lifted
along the sky, and many-colored streaks.
alternating from silvery white to the deepest
carnatiop, cleaned for moment and then
died away presenting a spectacle at once
beautiful and aws-inspiripg-Rich Whiy.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
RICHMOND, March l5.-The Commission
ers in Chaucery bill for Alexandria City and
County, passed the Senate. to-day, aud is q
law. The bill amending the Code so as to
allow the shipment of Lumber or Timber
from ports in Virginia, when cut on the
lands of the proprietors, has passed the
House of Delegates, and will pass the Sc
nate. to that extent. doing away with the
Inspection law, which caused the loading Of
the shin Scotia, on the Eastern Branch, in
stead of the port Of Alexandra. The bill
increasing the capital stock Of the Merchants
Bank of Virginia, at Lynchburg, 81 900, OOO,
and allowing them to establish Il Branch
Bank in Richmond. has passed both Houses,
and is a law. About forty bills from tho
Senate passed the House, to-day, and are
laws-oue of which, amends chapter 59 OF
the Code, go as to permit Savings Banks to
deal 10 Exchange. Both Houses are hard at
work, and will probably adjourn next week,
"a the members are anxious to return to
their homes, and will, probably, adjourn
over till next winter. That seems to be the
;mnrsssion now. Notwithstanding the cia-
NOR against the present General Assembly,
the amount of business done, and ready to
be done, prepared by the Committees, is, IN
the oninion of thosa who are here. and COM
petept to speak Understandings of previous
assemblies, unusually great. The members
are generally Industrious, intelligent and

caused by the contest 90 the part of the anti!
