THE TIMES.
PORT TOBACCO, MD.
Thursday Morning, January IA, 1858.

The Legislature was fully organized on Thurs
day. EDWIN WEBSTER, Esq, was elected Pre-
sident of the Senate, and J. SUMMERF1ELD
BERRY, Esq, elected Speaker of the House of
Delegates. It will be seen that an important
move has been made in the House by Mr.. Alex
ander, who introduced a bill for the calling a
Convention to frame new State Constitution.
On Monday the Governors Message was read
in both Houses. In the House the motion to
read was made by Mr.. Magruder, the same gen.
tleman on whose motion it was laid on the ia
BILE on Friday without reading. There was con-
siderable discussion on the proposition to print
it, and only one hundred copies were ordered by
the House. Leaves to introduce large number
of bills were granted, and a motion made hav-
ing for it's object the adoption of compulsory
measures to bring about a resumption of specie
payments by the banking institutions Of the
State.
The votes for Governor were counted in the
presence of both Houses on Tuesday, and it will
be seen that Hon. THOMAS HOLIDAY HICKS,
the Governor elect, was invited to attend in the
Senate yesterday for the purpose of qualifying
as Governor under the Constitution.
From the proceedings we see that large a.
mount of business has already been prepared
for the Committees, and there is evidence that
this will be a working Legislature. The Sena-

From the American Of Saturday last]
ToBAcco.-There was sales this week Of 200
hhds. Maryland Tobacco, Of which about $50
htds. were Ground Leaf. THIS, however, must
not be considered as an indication of brskness in
the market, the prices were placed at very low
figures, and thus operated on the purchasers as an
inducement to buy. The rates paid were S3aS7
for inferior to good ground leaf, and S4.50aS8 for
inferior 10 good crop. We also note sale of so
hhds. Ohio, new crop, at Sc. 5OsS9 for common to
good and fine red and spangled. This sale shows
decline in the finer descriptions of fully one
half from the highest rates of last year. Shippers
are very little disposed to operate at present, and
as prices will be governed by the accounts from
Europe, it is impossible TO speak OF the prospects
at the opening of the market in the Spring.
The inspections Of the week are % hhds

INFLUENZA, AND COMMON COLD,

Like thieves in the silence of the night, have
carried many to the silent grave They are caus-
ed by sudden check of perspiration, by which
the stomach is rendered inactive; and the lungs
become loaded with corrupted matter, which en-
tiers the blood, and disease is the result For all
colds, coughs, and chills, succeeded by heat, and
for all fevers Of every form, hoarseness and raw
ness Of the throat, lungs and stomach and for all
weakness and sickness of every kind, from three
to five of these Pills on going TO bed, for few
days, will be all that you require to restore you to
perfect health. 1t has been admitted and claimed
all over Europe, that there never "was medi-
cine, that will extirpate all manner of disease
from the system, equal to DR.. Morse's Indian
Root Pills :" that the more you take them, the
stronger you grow. They are founded upon the
principle that the human body is subject to but
one disease, namely corrupt humors. These
Pills not only cleanse the bowels, but also follow
the blood through every vein and artery, and SO
purify it from all morbid and corrupt humors that
disease Of every name is driven from the body.
GREAT FEMALE MEDICINE,
Females who value health should never be
without these Pills. 1t has been admitted by
number of physicians, that females cannot too
highly value them. They have given health and
spirits to hundreds of females who without them
would have been in their graves. They purify
the blood, remove distractions. and give the skin
autiful, clear, healthy and interesting appear
ance. A box Of these Pills is great medical
companion at certain periods. From one to three
should be taken every day until relief is obtained.
A few doses occasionally, when well, will keep
the system in healthy condition.
