INTELLIGENCE OF LABoR.--Egotistical outsiders,
who have neither capacity to perceive nor dispo
sition to investigate, may enwrap themselves in
the mantle of conceit and talk about the "igno-
rant miners" but we tell them that among the
miners of California-these miners who wear
rough shirts and coarse boots--these miners whose
hands are horny and whose faces are tanned
there are more men of intelligence and education
lectual positions, and sustained them with credit
than "was ever dreamed of in their phil losOphy"
more gentlemen, in the literal and true sense
of that word, than are to be found, proportion
atey speaking, among the population of any
other state in the Union, or country in the world

STURGEON, the sensation preacher, says that
when he gets TO heaven he "wil spend 5000
years looking into the wound on the right foot of
Christ, 5000 in examining the wound on his left,
10000 inspecting the wounds of his hands, and
10000 years in contemplating the wound in his
side" If there are any slaughter-houses in heav-
en-, Mr. Spurgeon may dispose of the remainder
of eternity very satisfactorily. 'Tis by outland-
ish expressions of the sort that Spurgeon expects
to be great.

TERFErTs !-Hostetter's Bitters.-Tbe publc
are aware that for some years past Hostetter's
Bitters have, by their intrinsic merit. as the hest
tonic of the present day, won name and celeb
ty beyond any other compound of the like kind,
The immense and ready sale which Hostetter's
Bitters met with, induced a number of persons to
engage in counterfeitng them, by buying up the
bottles. and filling them with spurious and nox-
lous compound. Also, several worthless prepa-
rations are gotten up in this city, with the evil
dent design of being palmed off as the genuine
hostetter's Bitters, having a similar bottle and
label, and directions, etc taken off verbatim, save
the omitting of DR.. J. Hostetter's name, and then
making sale of the articles to saloon keepers and
others, at reduced prices, under the representa-
tlon that they are the genuine article. Purcha-
sers should always examine the bottle and see
that 1t is covered with metallic caps, with the
name Of y. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stamped
on and not with tin-foil OF wax, as is the case
with the counterfeit article The above name is
also blown on the glass on one side of the bottle

Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Group, Bronchitis, Infu-
enza, Bleeding of the Lungs, Difficult Breathing,
Pain or Weakness of the Breast or Side, First
Stages Consumption, &c. In short, this Balsam
is peculiarly adapted to every disease of the
Lungs and Liver
Wild Cherry has long been known to possess
important medicinal properties This fact is fa-
miliar to every matron in our land, and Physi-
clans often prescribe it in different forms for
variety of complaints. Tar, also, has been equal
ly noted for its virtues and some physicians,
whose fame is familiar to the whole country, have
gone SO far as to declare that even Consumption
could be cured by that alone. In other hands,
again. it was nearly valueless. owing, no doubt
to their ignorance in preparing and administer
ing it-a difficulty entirely obviated by patient
experience and long experiment
The extraordinary medicinal powers possessed
by these two substances are now, for the first
time, combined and embodied in DIR. wis
sar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. BY a
nice chemical process, everything deleterious or
useless is rejected, so that what remains is the
most extraordinary and truly efficacious remedy
ior all kinds OF pu 10nary and liver diseases ever
known to man.
