The Retired Physician"

1t appears that DIR. James, the "retir-
ed physician, whose sands OF life have
nearly run OUT has retired and run out
from the scenes of bis labors, leaving be-
hind him a disconsolate police and an
unheale world Not even bis famous
Canuibus Indica, or East Indian Hemp,
which had saved bis only dsugbt from
the grave, was able to arrest the mystic
rious prowess by which bis shadow grew
less and less until it entirely disappeared
His "sands of life," however, converted
into gold, and the possession of one hun
dred thousand dolcrs consoles him for
his compulsory fight from the gaieties Of
New York. The "re,ired physician" is
not the only masquerade in which the de.
parted Brown--bis real name has figured.
He was also Ii. Mousett, who taught peo-
pie to change mercury into gold; be was

ture of artificial honey. and the right to

Brown is also Madame Julia Melville,
who has lately received from Frauce some
splendid cosmetics. These facts have
just been brought to light by the New
York police, who are now in eager pur-
suit of the retired physician. Itappears
that there was no C1anibis Iudica in the

List of British Outrages.

The following is list Of the outrages
alleged to have been committed by the
British cruisers upon American merchant
men since the commencement of the pres.

long, aud the offences are of most seri-
Gus nature sufficiently SO to justify the
action of our government.

THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1858.

.nss-Tbe Democracy Of this county held
ia Court week a grand Democratic rally
in the Court House, when they succeeded
10 getting it about two thirds filed, not
withstauding the town was hied with
persons attending Court, aud that the Del
e,ates to conduct the Delegate election
were to be elected, and the County Dem
ocratic Committee was to be appointed,
&c, &c.
In reading over their resolutions which
received some eight or ten votes, ano
none against, We discover that Gov. Pack
er has not received honorable notice, nor
indeed no notice at all. The question
naturally arises, what caused the Governor
to be thus slighted I And on reflection
we remember that the Gov. had honesty
and patriotism sufficiently developed to
enable him to oppose the late action OF
"PeonsyIvauia's favorite son. and bis
Slave driving minious in making Kansas
a Slave State. He, therefore, has justly
merited this sileut rebuke at the hands
of the Banner county of the faithful, slave
state making Democracy, and must con-
sequcntly burn under the scorching con-
tempt of the indignant patriotism OF the
Office seeking portion of little Democratic
Monroe.
Well we suppose that there is but little
use of talking, for this contempt must be
sufficient to seal bis certain doom; but We
cannot refrain from rem marking that this
seems to us to be the "most upkindest cut
Of all, to punish a man so severely for
heius true to the doctrine Of the Democ-
rscy of 1856, which elected Buchauan,
and on the strength of which you electe d
Mr.. Packer to the governorsbip OF this
State last fall.
Now, Mr.. Democrat, this is what VIC
call reversi6cation; it is the criminal me-
ting out justice to the Court, instead OF the
Court melting out justice to the criminal.
Now don't you perceive" But We, not
with,taDdiug all this, believe that Gov.
Packer has still goodly number Of friends
10 this county, even in the Democratic
party, who will rally around and fully
sustain him in his truly consistent and
patriotic course. The Gov. has probably
lost a number Of loaf aud fish political
friends, bat in their stead be has gained
friends from all parties who admire con-
sisteucy, honesty and patriotism.

Petersnn's Counterfeit Detector.

A reliable counterfeit detcctor, prepar-
ed expressly for Philadelphia, has long
been needed, but especially within the
last year. Pctersons' entirely supplies
this want, for it is accurate, honest and
thorough, being supervised by Drexel &
Co., of this city. The June number, just
issued, contains a perfect list Of all the
counterfeits, broken banks and rates Of
discount on bank notes. The objection
brought against many of the counterfeit
detectors published elsewhere, is that they
are merely vehicles for levying black
mail, cannot be urged against this, for the
characters of the publishers, t. B. Peter
son and Bros, and of the editors, Drexel
L. Co., are above suspicion. We would
advise all persons to subscribe to this De-
teetor at once. The price is only one
dollar year monthly, or two dollars a
