The Oxygenated Bitters,

For the cure OF DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LaUer
Complaint, asthma, Costiveness, Loss Of Appetite,
Fever and Ag,te, Heart Burn Water Brash, Acidity,
Sea Sickness, Sc,srvy, Nausea, Headache, Enn,i,
and General Debility, any disease having its orr
gin in imperfect digestion.
These Bitters all classes of our fellow citizens,
including Members of Congress, Lawyers, Physi-
clans, Clergymen, Planters, Farmers and others
testify, the only safe, certain and sovereign
c1F1c for the immediate relief and permanent cure
of the many cruel complaints which in some phase
or other of Dyspepsia affct our race.
These Bitters discovered by DR.. GEORGE B.
GREEN, and in their formula differ entirely from
that of any other preparation of medicine. Con-
tanning no alcohol-no mineral-no poison-no
noxious drug,-in their nature tonic, not stimuat-
ing,-retaining their virtues in any cline; they
ga combination and form indeed'' of Medicine
which knows no rival in exterminating disease and
restoring the system to its pristine vgor and health
No matter of how long standing, or however induc-
ed or chronic in its character the disease may be-
no matter that it has baff1ed the skill of the physi-
can and resisted the efforts of Medicine, single
trial of these Btters will satisfy the sufferer that
his disease is amenable to the proper remedy.
In testimony of the many cures effected by this
Remedy reference is had to the written certificates
from distinguished individuals known all over the
land.

TCOMMUNICATED.7

Mr. EDITOR: AS public attention is now be-
ing directed to the selection of suitable person
to represent this District in Congress, and as
the names of several gentlemen have already
been mentioned in connection with the posi-
ton, take the liberty Of suggesting through
your columns, COL. BENJAMIN G. HARRIS,
the favorite son of St. Mary's as our next
representative in Congress. Col. Harris is too
well known to the Democracy of Charles and
this Congressional District to render necessary
any specification of his claims and abilities in
this communication. His name for years has
been honorably and constantly associated with
the struggles and triumps of his party in his
own county, and there and here and wherever
else known he is justly regarded as a gentle
man of unblemished character enlarged public
Experience and high mental capacity More
over, he is the choice of st. Mary's for Con-
gress, and her claims upon the Democracy Of
this Congressional District are of the strongest
character. 1t is now some fifteen years since
she had a representative in Congress. She is
the banner County, not only of the District,
but the State, and reliable under all crcum-
stances. Though she went into the last Con-
gressional Convention with an earnest prefer
ence for Col. Harris, yet. when Gen. Bowie was
nominated, she gave him near seven hundred
majority, and that, too, when one of her own
citizens, Col. Blackstone, was the opposing can
didate. Such fidelity to party obligation is
rare indeed, and should not be overlooked.
trust that the Democracy Of Charles and the
other counties of the District will be prepared
on the meeting of the Convention, to weigh
fairly the claims of St. Mary's-and allow
them. CIvIs

The JAPANESE MINISTERS ON THEIR WAY
TO THE UNITED STATEs.-The names of the
Japanese Ministers, on their way to the Uni
ted States, are Nagael Genba-no-Kami Gov
ernor of Accounts and Minister of the Navy,
and iva Say Higo-no-Kami, Imperial Inspec-
tor:
The first is said to be an intelligent man
and we'll educated, having been instructed by
some officers of the Dutch navy at Desima in
algebra, mathematics, and navigation. In 1857
he conducted the steamer Soemting, the first
ever possessed by the japanese, from Nagasaki
to Yeddo, with japanese engineers and sailors,
and without any Dutch or European aid. iva
Say Higo-no-Kami is also an intelligent man,
and has acquired some knowledge of foreign
politics from his intercourse with Mr.. Harris
especially, and from the Dutch and other for
egners. They are about 40 years of age, or As
at the most, and, in form, of moderate stature,
erect size, black hair and black eyes, and sharp
noses; the whitest and most perfect teeth, with
a sooty, dark complexion. Most artless, in
quisitive, and innocent. No Kansj' is not a
proper name, or part of it, but an honorable
title, born by the highest nobles meaning, lite
rally, "of Heacep' the old japanese made
their highest dignitaries gods, or derived them

The TRIAL OF Mr.. SIcKLEs-Verd,ct "No.
Gn'Ity. The protracted trial of the Hon.
Daniel E. Sickles for killing Philip Barton
Key, Esq, in Washington city, was brought to
conclusion on Tuesday afternoon. The case
after an able charge from Judge Crawford, vas
submitted, without argument, to the jury, who,
after an absence of about forty minutes, re-
turned and rendered verdict of "mot guilty."
1t is said that the jury, before leaving the box,
stood eleven for instant acquittal, and one con-
scientiousy opposed to such verdict, until
certain points of Judge Crawford's charge were
more fully explained to him. This having been
done, he acquiesced in verdict of ",ot
guilty."

Peterson & Brother have given us in the above
named volume, the fifth number of their cheap

popular edition it is too, and we are glad to find
they have made tremendous hit with this cheap

constant demand for these immortal productions
of the Scottish Shakespeare, and here at last we
have an edition for the million-each volume
costing but twenty-five cents. and the whole Sc
ries comprised in twenty-six volumes being fur

MIKE WALSH AND HIS BROTHERs-The
Memphis Acalanche has the following interest
ing yet melancholy "reminiscences concerning
the brothers of Mike Walsh:
The children consisted of four brothers and
sister, Of whom Mike was the youngest, that
had been scattered in all directions upon the
death Of their father. Mike alone remained
with his mother A most singular fatality be-
fel them all. One of the brothers was shot in
a duel, across table in southern city; an
other fell by the side Of the brave Crockett at
the massacre of the Alamo; the third brother
was burned in the Ben. Sherrod, and the sister
persisted in the Inflated Lexington. The mo-
Their soon followed her children, leaving poor
Mike to meet his death, under the circumstan-
ces, more terrible than any of the rest.

GONG TO AFRIcA.-It is said that upwards
of two hundred colored persons have made their
arrangements to emigrate to Africa, and con-
templated to sail in the ship Mary C. Stevens
on the first Of May. The ship has not yet ar
rived from the last voyage, and cannot sail at
the appointed time. Should she be too long
detained another ship will be dispatched.
Among those going are so liberated slaves for
merly belonging to the late John McDonough,
of New Orleans, about one hundred others libe-
rated to emigrate, thirty from Pennsylvania
and forty from New York These will form
one Of the largest bands of emgrants for sew

week in the presence of number of the man

The WAR NEws.-The latest foreign advices
have an Enthusiastically warlike tendency. There
is no misunderstanding the fact that whatever may
be the hopes or wishes of the parties beligerent,
each believes that war is imminent, and is deter
mined to be prepared either to receive give the
first blow. Scarcely perhaps, even in the days Of
the great war, were SO many men under arms in
Europe, or such vast resources for the prosecution
of hostiities garnered up as now. Austria, France
and Sardinia are armed at all points, and stand
each in defensive attitude that any moment may
be changed for an offensive one. England and
Prussia stand around the expectant combatants in
gloomy earnestness, wishing, perhaps, for peace,
but alive to all the eventualities which war may
bring. Russia only is in position to look upon
the struggle with complacency, and no doubt hopes
that will place the allies who SO soundy thrash
ed her in the Crimea at the swords point. 1t is
very evident that matters cannot long continue in
this condition without producing results that will
render peace impossible. Men with arms in their
hands and bad blood in their hearts wlthln srlkng
distance, are not likely to subdue the temptation
to use the one and CRAFTY the other. SO that I'M
less diplomacy is more speedy and effectuai than
usual, some trifiing circumstance-a collision OF
outnosts between the Sardinians and the Austrians
may solve the question, and the world will hold
its breath to witness the shock between France and
Austria, they rush the one to annihilate, the
other to succor Piedmont. The most dreaded re-
suit of the first onset would be the probable annihi-
lation Of the gallant Italian kingdom before her
French protector could come to the rescue. Aus
tria, with two hundred thousand troops concentra-
Ted along the borders of Piedmont, might punish
With dreadful severity the determination with
which Victor Emmanuel and his Ministry have
invoked the war, whilst the forces of rance were

DRowNED.-By information from w. P.
Flowers, Esq, Justice of the Peace for this
County, under date of the 10th instant, we
learn that an inquest was held upon the body
of a youth named James Tennison, aged about
II or Is years, found upon the shore of the
Potomac river, at place called Marloe's Bay.
The said youth was identified by Capt. Hol-
land and others. Young Tennison was from
Baltimore, and employed by Capt Holland on
board his vessel at present occupied in giling
shad, 1t appeared from the evidence of a
youth on board another vessel close by, enga-
ged in the same occupation, that on the 18th
instant, while the men from each vessel were
out fishing, he saw the said Tennison launch a
boat from the deck of his vessel; he started to
the shore, the boat filled; he got out and at
tempted to swim to the shore, but sunk.
