GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE
Important to Tobacco CheWers
DR.. GUSTAV LINNARD'S
TASTE RESTORATIVE TROCHE6,
TIE GREAT SUBSTITUTE FOE TOBACCO.
TT is well known and incontrovertible fact
i that the use Of Tobacco is the promoting
cause Of many Of the most severe
Mental and Physical Disorders
to which the race of man is subject. as careful
analysis and long and painful experience have
clearly proven that it contains certain narcotic
and poisonous properties, most dangerous in
their effects, which by entering into the blood
derange the functions and operations of the
heart, causing many to suppose that the organ
to be seriously diseased
Tobacco affects also the entire nervous sys-
TEN, manifesting itself-as all who have used
the noxious weed will bear testmopy-in Las
situde, Nervous Irritablity, Water Brash, Dvs
pepsia, and many other disorders of similar
character. zE
The Taste Restorative 7roches
are designed to counterfeit these baneful infu-
ences, and have proved completely successful in
multitude of cases, and wherever used. Being
harmless in themselves, they exert beneficial
effect upon the entire system, restoring the taste
which has become vtiated or destroyed by great
indulgence, completely removing the irritation
and accompanying tickling sensation of the
throat-which are always consequent upon alb
staining from the use of Tobacco, and by giving
healthy tone to the stomach, invigorates the
whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches Immediately and throw
off fha min l.. s. ~

These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a
convenient and portable form at the low price
of so cents per box. A liberal discount to the
trade. Prepared solely by the undersigned, to
whom all orders should be addressed

The oharlin Reseuers Released.

The 0berlin fanatics who were arrested for
rescuing a slave and trampling under foot the
laws of the United States FOR the rendition OF
fugitives, have been released, 1.-The Govern
ment having determined not to gothrough the
farce of trial. A Cleveland paper says
"The attempt to enforce the Fugitive Slave
act on the Western Reserve by Governmental
officials for political effect, has resulted IN
most disastrous defeat of the projectors and
of the whole scheme.
The news spread rapidly, that the Govern
ment officials had cared. Hundreds imme-
diately called On the company to tender their
congratulations In the afternoon, about flye
O'Clock, hundred guns were fred and some
several hundreds of our citizens gathered at
the jail to escort the rescuers to the depot.
At S IL o'clock, the whole company, headed
by Heckers Band, marched two and two to
the depot, through Superior and Water streets,
the band playing Hail to the Chief" "f an
kee Doodle" etc. On arriving at the depot
three stentorian cheers were given with
good will for the rescuers, when Judge Bray
ton, of Newburgh, was called upon for aspeech,
which he gave in his vivid and elegant style.
After this the company bid farewell to their
friends and took their seats in the cars, and
the train started amidst the hurrahs of the
people, the band playing that peculiarly appro-
pirate air for the occasion, Home, Sweet
Home" Thus has ended the great 0berlin
Rescue Case.
The people of Oberlin were making pre-
parations to receive the Rescuers yesterday
afternoon. We doubt not that the returned
husbands, fathers, brothers and sons, will

Gov. McRae

The Mobile Tribune, an able Southern
rights paper, makes the unanimous re-nomi-
nation.of Gov. McRae, to a seat in Congress,
the subject of the following remarks compl-
meatary to that distinguished gentleman ::
From past associations taking lively inter-
est in the politics of Mississippi, we feel graft
fed at this result. For whatever differences
there may have been between us formerly in
regard to the true policy of the South, we are
agreed now that the time has certainly arrived
when the South must stand firmly upon her
constitutional rights. We want men in Con-
gress who will yield nothing for sake of party.
We want men who will have the boIdness to
take any position sound patriotic judgment
dictates upon grave questions as they may arise,
like the noble Quitman and risk their consti-
tuents to endorse them-men who without
the fear of the President and his Cabinet, ma
tional party organizations OF the people they,
have left behind, viii dare to risk place and
have considerable confidence in Gov. McRae
that he is the manner Of man we have des-
cribed, and therefore it is that we are gratified
at his denomination. Since his return from
Congress his mouth has not been sealed in re-
gard to public affairs, and it has been refresh
ing to witness that his sound, Southern patri-
otism has not withered and dropped in a
Washington City atmosphere, but is as fresh
and green as when he carried it there

1t was my good fortune to be in attendance

they had been trained by faithful and well

tory address, by Miss Mamie Marshall.
After these exercises, the Principal, Rev.
Peter Crawford, addressed the graduating
class,.in a manly and impressive speech of
some fifteen or twenty minutes length, and
delivered to each diploma, with the Holy
Bible. To this speech Miss Engenia S. Bra
cey responded in remarkably beautiful and
glowing address Of some fifteen minutes length.
The graduates won for themselves many
golden opinions.
After some appropriate remarks, addressed
to the audience, and an address to the Throne
of Grace by the Principal, the assembly re-
tired to the Seminary Grove for refreshments

A Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald make the following statement
in regard to the progress Of the slave trade.
May prosperous gales speed the honest ''pir-
ates'' in their noble mission TO augment the
supply of Southern labor, and to obey the
injunction to feed the hungry and clothe the
naked. The wants Of the Southern people,an
the requirements Of commerce, call loudly Tor
more and cheaper negroes, and thanks to the
adventurous slave traders, they are. coming
Carefully as the secret has been guarded
by those interested, it is well known through
out the entire South that very large num-
Der Of slaves have been landed, chiefly on the
Florida coast, within the past twelve months
A very distinguished Democratic Senator in
formed me, within the last week, that his es-
innate of the number of cargoes of 'sayages
that had been successfully transported into the
interior of the country since May, 1858, was
between sixty and seventy, He added that
the boast had been semi-confidentially made
to him, six weeks ago, by an Individual inter-
ested, that twelve slave vessels, whose names
were known to him, would discharge their
living freight upon our shores within ninety
days. Surprising each vessel to contain (de-
Quoting loss by death) two hundred and fifty
blacks, the late increase Of slave population at
the South, by importation from the coast of
Africa, must have been over fifteen thousand.
Startling as this fact appears, have not ven-
tured to communicate it 10 youuntil fully per-
suaded that it cannot be contradicted or, if
gainsayed, that its truth may within short
period be demonstrated \
