The NERvoUs ToNIc is now regarded by all scientific men to be superior to any prepara- ton ever before presented to suffering humani- ty, as by it's corroborating influence on the system the susceptibility to disease is lessened, and to those pre-disposed to repeated attacks of chilis, fever and ague, or any kind of fever this remedy should by all means be used, and to those residing in miasmatic districts where diseases of this character are always incitent to the climate they should never be without it.
 CHOLERA, DIARRHEA, BLOODY FLUx, ETC, Erc-There is no disease that prostrates hu- man beings in so short time and that renders the system so unconscious of the remedies when applied as these; and it therefore be- hooves all persons who value their lives dearer than anything else remember that de- lays are dangerous" As soon as you feel the slightest symptom of disease call for bottle of Sledge's Cholera or Diarrhea Syrup, one dose of which if taken in time will relieve you. Remember, this is no cunningly devised humbug. as we have the evidence to prove the fact. All we ask is a fair trial! For coughs colds, asthma, bronchitis, consumption. etc.
 use Dr. Sledge's Hoarhound Pectoral. Allthe above are for sale at the Drug Stores and upon enquiry may be found in all the towns anc villages. See advertisement sep4

Proceedings of the County Court of
 Prairie County. Arkansas.


 W. are indebted to Hon, W. J. RosERs, for th following synopsis of the proceedings of he County Court, on Monday the eath ut;
 The first business of the Court was to select two Associates to assist the County Judge in holding his Courts. There being eight or ten Justices present, they proceeded to an cleo ton, which resulted in the selection of G. M. CONNER, of Caroline, and SIMEON HORNE, of White River township as Associates.
 The Court then proceeded to pass upon sev- eral road petitions, reports, Sc.
 It was ordered by the Court that the clerk forthwith issue his vENIRE directed to the Sheriff of the County, notifying the requisite number of Grand Jurors-they being selected by the Court-to serve at and during the next May term of the Circuit Court.
 The Court after considering the unsafe con- dition of the County Jail, and being satisfied that it is important that new one should be erected, ordered that the Sheriffput up notices in each township in the County, notifying the several Justices of the Peace; that at the April term of the Court, County tax will be levied for the erection of jail at the county seat
 There was no other business of much inn portance transacted, except the appointment of eighty two Road Oyerseers, and the follow- ing Justices of the Peace were instructed to apportion hands in the various townships, viz:

The Annexation of Mexico.

From the Liverpool Post. January 5.
 Mexican politics are really nearer En- glisl interests. President Buchanan pres ses for the $3,000,000 owing to United States citizens by the Mexican Govern menl and as he is willing to take pay ment in kind, in the shape of annexa- lions, the leading journal asks: Is not the right of England 10 interfere and seize much more evident, in the measure of the El2 100000 claimed by British residents; and as we will nol annex, but will rather let our subjects be robbed, ought we to permit the Washington Cabinet to pro- ceed lurthers Itis delicate question, no doubt; but clearly Mir. Buchanan sees his way, and will not be eslopped by our diplomatic scruples. To our apprehen- sion it appears that the British and Amer ican interests are identical, and that the sooner Mexico. as Government, Is :. improved off the face of the earth" the better for civilization in general, and the Mexicans in particular. Manifest destl- ny is taking the Yankees southward, and il is in vain that our official statesmen at- tempt 10 arrest it. wer-Clayton treat- ies inevitably turn out sheer waste paper, and the truth seems to be that our diplo- macy in that quarter of the world is based upon nothing sounder or honester than a prejudice against and jealousy of the civilzing and trading American.
 The Mexicans have had fair trial be- fore all the world they cannot govern themselves, as they confess in endless civil
 war; and the only national question is- shall country, which was once great and wealhly empire, be left to be laid waste in interminabie internecne strife 2 Are we prepared to say to a people such as those of the United Siates-thus far shall ye go, and no larlhers

PROM WASHINGTON.

ESosis," the Washington correspon dent of the Memphis .aPpcai, writing un der date of the 25th ult., says:
 We might look upon the present ses sion of Congress as one which IS to serve as point al winch commences new ers in the history of our country. Though i is short one, yet rapid strides are being taken toward that point at which oui veal or woe" Is determined. From the shortness of the session one could expec but litlle to be accomplished, but the foundations upon which are 10 rest mighty structures, or else 10 crunble beneath the weight of those eiifces, are being laid with much rapidily, yet much care and foresight are exercised. The scheme ol building Paclic Railroad has been well discussed pro and con. and now is only laid aside for short time for the purpose of allowing the introduction of other bu- siness which not only concerns our do- mestc interests, but also effects materially our foreign policy. Steps have been ta- ken in the Senate to secure the acqu- sition of the island of Cuba. Yesterday MT. Slidell. from the Committee on For eign Relations, to which had been refer red the bill making appropriation to lacili- tate the acquisition of lhe island of Cuba, |reporled the same back Without amend fment, and Recommended its passage. This bill is accompanied by an elaborate report, going into history of several statesmen who have expressed views fla vofabie to the acquisition of this island. The correspondence of Jefferson, Madi- son and Monroe, and also the official cor respondence of John O. Adams, Messrs. Clay, Buchanan. Marcy and Everett, was quoted al some length. This report was discussed by Messrs. Mason, Seward, Bayard, Foote, Toombs and Hale. On motion of MT. Slidel, the bill was made the special order of business at o'clock on Monday next. IL Is hardly necessary to say that the bill and reports meet with the condemnation of the Republicans.
 II rumors are worth anything, 1t will not be necessary for the Senate to pass a bill for purchasing this island, if our Sem ators and Representatives are willing to demand redress for insults offered 10 this Government.
 The report that Spain has refused 10 recognize our Minister is beginning to be circulated in Washington, and with many receives full credit. II ihis should be true, 1t is useless for this Government to adopt any friendly measures for the ac- qulsilion of this island, since Spain has violated the friendly relations that existed between the two governments and all that is necessary is sso prepare to take il Ui et arnais.
