Ague Cure,
or THE SPEEDY CURE on

foR THE SPEEDY CURE or -rr
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
-Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious FeVers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origi-,
mating I'm hillary arrangement, caused.
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy Is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity. --z -f vy
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. PreUention il
better than cure, for the patient escapes tho,
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUB
from the system and preveats the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AauE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all--the poor Cs well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intcrmittents is, that it contains
no Quininc or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon tlrp constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease:
Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. \ great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, aElong which
are Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palptation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Colic,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, OF become period
ical. This CURE" eXpels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
| fection, that will be cxcretcd from the system,
| and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripcn into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
| ever suffer from mtcnnittcnts, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-

SOURCE OF THE NILE DISCOVERED.

The great problem of the source of the
Nile, which has occupied the attention ol
the world during SO many ages, may now
be considered as de6nitively solved. Cap.
tain Spekc, who has just returned to Eng.
land from an extended tour in Central
Africa, in company with Captain Burton,
discovered : q lake, called by the native.
Nyanzs, but by the Arabs Ukerewe, which
appears to be the great reservoir of the
Nile. 1t extends from two degrees thirty
minutes south to three degrees thirty min
utes north latitude, lying across the equa-
tor in east longitude, thirty-three degrees
It's waters are the drainage of numerous
hills, which surround it on almost every
side. The new lake washes out the

A British Protectorate Over Nicaragua

According to the telegraphic dispatch,
the British Minister in Washington has
assured President Buchanan that, if any
attack is made upon the government of
Nicaragua, the British government will
defend it. Who constituted Great Brit
ain the protector of Nicaragua? what
stipula.ions exist between the two coun-
tries? are inquiries which naturally pre-
sent themselves. If Nicaragua has pla-
ced her nationality under the @gis Of
Great Britain, and remains a dependency
of that power-as we have no doubt is
the case-American interests on the 18TH
mus will stand poor chance, and will
be trampled under foot. 1t is high time
Great Britain was made to withdraw al
together from Central America, which
she agreed to do by the Clayton and
Bulwer treaty of / $50.

DecltnatiOn of MT. NOll.

When Mr.. Noll's name was announced
as an independent candidate for the Leg
islature it was not without great deal OF
reluctance that he consented to the use OF
his name. A number Of Democrats ex-
pressed dissatisfaction at the nomination
and believed themselves justiiable in run
ming an independent candidate. These
were not factions men, who are never con.
teuted without the nomination of their
first choice: among them were as old and
reliable Democrats as can be found in the
county. Whether the course pursued by
them was wise, we do not presume to de-
termine; but we do say that they believed
they were acting for the, best. ...es ~

The London Herald says there is reason
to believe definite treaty Of peace will

Austria. The preliminaries Of villafran-

for Congress. A small vote of the Dem.
ocrats, and large one of the Republicans,
together with the advantages which the
latter might gain on the local questions,
might. in the opinion of some, have made
it possible to elect Republican.
In view of these and other reasons,
Mr.. Noll, with the consent of many OF
those who brought him out, withdrew his
name from the contest. Thus, the dis
cord was reduced to harmony, and, so far
as we know. without the slightest ihten-
ton on the part of the friends of either
candidate to ever retallate any supposed
injuries growing out of the matter.

American Aid to the English in China.

A correspondent of the Times writes
as follows:
You will see by the Admiral's dispatch
es that in proportion to the numbers en-
gagged our loss 10 killed and wounded
was greater than that in any Of the late
great battles in Italy, aud it will he
melancholy satisfaction to some at home
to hear that many of our poor fellows re-
ceived their wounds and sacrificed their
lives, not in the fierce excitement of the
advance, but as they retired, in freely ex-
posing their lives to save their wounded
comrades lying on the mud from falling
into the hands of the tarbarous Mongols
Already have trespassed too much on
your valuable space, but can not end
without referring to one matter that, in
connection with this battle, should be ever
remembered. We're ,oe children of the
same mother, zoe could not haze received
more sympathy and kindness than aOc met
,oiM from the americans. Never were
men more unwillingly neutral. As we
passed in to the assault, Flag officer An-
gAce AdmiraD Tatnall was heard to say,
'blood is thicker than WATER" and in o
hundred different ways he and all his peo-
pie, 10 the very cabin boys, acted upon this
honely provcrb. When he heard that our
Admiral was wounded, at great personal
risk he went on board the Cormorant to
see him. Many of our men slept in the
toeywah American tenders) on the night
of the fight; cigars. coffee, brandy, every
thing man could want was placed before
them, The American crew forgot them
selves, and thought only of the British.
A few days after the fight Chinese
junk, with flag of truce, brought fresh
provisions to the I'owhattan UNITED
States frigate.) These were Immediately
sent to our wounded. The bond of Amer
icam brotherhood ,oas, indeed, deeply cenaen-
ted ia our trial at the Peiho. l believe
there was not q man in the feet who did
not feel it growing up within him, and l
am sure there are thousands, if l might
not say millions, at both sides of the At

that that feeling of brotherhood may take
deeper and deeper root in both lands.

AN EYE WITNESS.
The Times in an editorial in which it
censures Admiral Hope for his too great
confidence and subsequent defeat, con-
cludes its remarks as follows:
at is more easy to found than to res
tore supremacy: but in the execution of
the duty which dovolves upon England
and France, it is an unspeakable satisfac-
ton to ind that we may rely, at all events,
on the sympathies of the great Anglo
Saxon Republic. Whatever may be the
result of the fight. England will nevor for
get the day when deeds and words of
kindly Americans sustained and comfor-
ted her stricken warriors on the waters of
the Peiho."
Other English journals also acknowled-
ged the kindly sympathy of the Ameri-
cans.

Our Fair-Grand Display.

The Fair at this place, last week, was
a grand success. Itfully equalled the ex.

In the department of horses, was large
number of entries of good stock, but we
think this branch hardly exceeded former
exhibitions as much as other depart.
ments. .-.vf- .,..s.zz s--st =.
Cattle were fully represented. There
must have been near IS on the ground,
and some of them as fine blood, with as
good pedigrees as any in the State. In
this department we have never seen such
a display at any Fair, in this or any 9TH
er county.
Hogs, sheep, goats, mules, asses, poul-
try &C., had full representation. In
the department of agricultural implements
there was five times as many entries as we
have ever noticed in our Fairs before
Nothing indicates more strongly than these
the progress of our county in agricultural
science. Among scores Of other things q
threshing machine manufactured by Litten
& Horn, of Sun6sh, attracted much at
tention. The general opinion was that
none superior had ever been in the coun-
ty. The machine which was to have CON-
peted with i: in a trial of work did not
make its appearance.
The female equestrianism was fine
display.
But the Floral Hall, that was the grand
attraction. To give an idea of the arti
cles on exhibition would be an endless
last; and as it is everybody's duty to see
for themselves we will not undertake it.
At the present writing we have not re-
ceived the award of premiums.
