 Dear Sir-In conversation with your agent, learned that some prejudced persons, which are to be found everywhere, againstpate med icines, spoke of your medicines as not doing much for themselves or any one else. To see justice done between all parties, and to enable others, if they wish, to receive the same bene- fits that have from your medicines, will simply give you statement of Facts, which you can make any use of you please. If any one doubts let them call on me and can satis- fv them. I am probably as well known as any one in this portion of the State, but 1 am not in the habit of giving certificates, but feel that in giving this one 1 am fully justifed.- My son was taken sick with the Flnx last July, and lay seventeen or eighteen days, when all hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap- peared to do him any good, commenced giv-9 ing him your Diarrh9a or Flux Syrup, and he commenced mending immediately.aI verify believe twas the saving of his life. pu have the facts. Hoping that others may receivc the benefit that my son did, remain, yours respectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.

SLEDGE Dear Sir: Your medicines nave rendered general satisfaction here; they have even gone beyond the fiattering recom- mendation given by yourself. l have used in my family, with unparalleled success, your Nervous Tonic, your DiarrhGa Syrup, and your Liniment and Hoarhound Pectoral and have found them superior to any medicines ever used here, for the various diseases arising from miasmatic country like this, where Fever and Ague, Diarrhna and Rheumatism, are the prevailing diseases. Your Nervous Tonic has been used by many others as we'll as myself, as preventive of Fever and Ague ]; and it has invariably given satisfaction. for one say emphatically that it will prevent Chiils and Fevers, if taken according to the directions and that one bottle will save any family ten times the cost if used as preven- tive l used it in my family last year, and l will certify on oath that one bottle saved me at least ten times it's cost.

The affidavit of one of the sailors of the Haidee,
the vessel lately sunk of Montauk Point, throws
considerable light on the way in which the slave
trade is carried on. This vessel sailed from New
York in February last commanded by Captain
v Whitney, and with the reputed owner on board
one Boutele. Portuguese, bound for Gibraltar
IL which port she seems to have carried cargo.
She had, beside the captain and mate, cook and
steward, twelve men before the mast and Six pas
senQers who seem, however, to have had nothing
to do with the enterprise, m they left tn" ship at
her first port. From Gibraltar she proceeded to
Cadiz, there took in provisions and sailed nominally
for st. Michsels, in the Azores but really for the
west coast of Africa, having first taken on board
two Portuguese named Thomas aud Viers who
seem to have been partners or Interested IN the
voyage. Arriving on the coast, Viera left the ship
with letters After three hours Viers sent word
for her 10 proceed 10 sea, which she did, cruising
about for forty days, during which time she
landed at an island and took in water She
then returned to her post on the coast, lay
there a single dsy and night. The next morning
took on board cargo of eleven hundred and thirty
the same day for Cuba. She arrived and anchored
of Cardel,as one afternoon, having lost some 200
negroes on the voyage, and the same evening two
Spaniards came on board and made arrangements
for landing the SURVIVORS, which was effected early
the next morning by two boats from the shore.
The three Portuguese, who seem to have been st
the head of the enterprise, and the Captsin then
went on shore, having first paid off the hands,
leaving the vessel in charge Of the first mate, one
Macomber who told the crew she was cleared for
New.OrIeans. They went TO sea at once but the
next day the mate told the men he had no papers,
and asked what they thought it was best to do.
They left il to him. He then sailed for Long
Island. which they made in ten days, and when OIL
Montauk Point the ship scuttIed and after
dark was sunk about five miles from the shore.
Seven of the crew-fye Portuguese an italian and
Spanisrd landed at Msntsuk Point. The mate
and the rest appear TO have lsnded elsewhere on
the coast.
The mate. who appears 10 be 8 New-Bedford
man. is under arrest and likely to suffer the penalty
of his crime, and it ia to be hoped that the light
thrown on this transaction may lead to the punish
