banks both adopted.
Mr.. Davis, from committee on roads, reported
the bill providing for watering-plaees on high
ways, without expressing any opinion The Dill
then being before the Senate on its third reading;
Mr.. Wilder favored the bill. Good watering
places showed good inhabitants, and tended 70
bring people to settle where such conYenIences
were enjoyed. He thought good watering troughs
could be placed with little expense. Tine bill did
not contemplate heavy cost: as it was limited TO
$40 each. He thou yht there were many good
reasons for the bill which he vas unprepared to
men-io7 now.
Mr.. Davis remarked that be saw no great rea-
son for passing this bill last session, and he had
the same opinion now. The fewer the Liabilities
imposed on a town in the shape Of guldep0sts,
tow paupers and the like, the better. He admit

thought these should not be erected at the expense
Of the town and be subject to Indictment OF a

THE ADMINISTRATION FULCRUM

Isaac Adams, Esq. o fSouth Boston, Mass,
the inventor of the celebrated Adams PRINT
ing Press, heretofore always a membe OF the
Democratic Party, has openly bolted from the
party. He publishes a manifesto In when
he resigns his place as member of the County
Committee. and declares that he will neither
help on the fraud, which, in the name Oh
Democracy, that party is perpetratlng on
people. nor vote for its candidates lie says

ted States Judiciary is the lever, by means Oh

are attempting to subvert a right Without

will of the people, and in spite of any terri
torial law against it, they mean all they say

Thank you, Mr.. Foote. A compliment
on the appearance of our paper, from one of
the very best printed papers in the Union, is
worth as much as a premium"

FROM tho DAILY OF the loCh.
THE HARPER's FERRY RIoT.-It probably
will be some days before it will be truly
known what is fact and what fiction OF the
hourly and half hourly stories sent from
Baltimore and Washi ngton on the 18th and
18th, about the outbreak at Harper's Ferry.
That it is serious enough to have cost the loss
Of several lives can not be doubted. The exact
nature of it is as yet uncertain. One OF
the Washington dispatches says:
1t is suggested by well informed persons
that the aus uf the Instruction is the re-
ported fact that not long since the contractor
for the construction of a government dam at
the Ferry absconded largely indebted to
several hundred employees, who have taken
this step to indemnify themselves by the
seizure of the government funds which it
was supposed were transported thither on
Saturday. A gentleman Just in from Harp
er's Ferry thinks the blacks participated in
the outbreak only on compulsion.
OF course the reports bristle with the
words instruction and ''abolitionists;"
but that is the southern style of speech on
such occasions, whatever lies at the founda-
ton of them. The idea of Capt Brown,
of Kansas notoriety," attempting to revolu-
tionise Virginia and Maryland with a force
of"l7 white men and five negroes" as re-
ported yesterday, is broadly ridiculous.
As, at last accounts, a company of I. S.
Marines, from Washington. with two howit-
zers, three companies U. S. Artillery from
Old Point Comfort, three companies of vo-
~lunteer militia of Frederick, several Balti-
more companies 400 strong, and a quantity
of Virginia militia ordered out by Gov.
Wise, were on the ground, and as the Sin
surrectionists originally numbered but seven
teen white men and five negroes, of whom n
number had been shot, it would seem that
the q%uelling OF the insurrectiOn ought not to
occupy many months.
P. S. Our despatch announces that the
disturbance is over, the thousand soldiers
having killed seventeen of their twenty-five
opponents, and the remainder having fled or
surrendered. The scheme seems to hav.
been really out Of John Browns, who has
VIGOROUSLY been been halt insane for some
time.
THE POWER OF MEDICINE OVER
Disease.-We know of no better illustration of
this fact than the wonderful effects of the oxygen
ated Bitters, in eradicating from the system Dys-
pepsia, and all functional diseases Of the stomach,
and restoring impaired digestion.
