DR.. C. NJ. JACKSON. Dear Sir:-"We
would inform you that we are our of HoOf-
lands German Bitters, which are very ready
sale. One of our neighbors has been
docto. ing for some time, 1--WE think about
two years, piLh all the doctors in the country,)
but all Of no auail. He looked as much like
dead man going about rs any thing we can
compare him to. His disease appeared to
be an orerfoicing Of the gall. With hard
persuasion We prevailed on him to try your
Bitters, with the prInise to him, if it did
no good, we would charge him nothing for
it, provided he took six bottles according to
the directions, which he hls done, as is
now entirely cured, and has become well
man This cure has created great sale
in this neighborhood." Respectfully.
EDWARDS & BROWN.
Ask for Hoofland's German Biiters, and
take nothing else. Sec that the signature

Your letter Of the l4th inst. came duly

Several letters were received here last week
from the company that lett this place in the

Kansas City, Leavenworth, Lawrence and
this place. 1t IS impossible just now 10 tell
at what time they will start, us it will de-
pend altogether on the kind of spring We
have. The cattle live entirely on grass,
and il the spring should be an early one,
they can start by the middle OF April. The

about the first of May. would advise all
who intend going 10 the mines, to be hefe
BY the first OF April. even if they shou'c not
be able to leave before the latter part OF the
month, FOR it will give them time to get
their teams, outfit, &c. They can live
cheaper here than they can in Ohio, if they
are disposed TO camp out, which will give
them en- opportunity of becoming hH'e
initiated in the lie they will have TO 1--we in

INSANITY IN MUkpEREHs.- "a person, nam
ed Martin, was tried last week in Vermont,
TOR shooting and killing two individuals,
against whom lie appears to have had no
previous grudge. The defence was iRsani-
ty, and il was proved that the man was SUBJ
ject to fits of mental alteration, and indulg.
ed in wild fancies of being beset by robbers
and armies. The Court admitted the fact
OF the illusions being proved, but left il 10
The jury to say whether Martin was under
the effect Of one of them when he killed
the two men, and how far such alteration
should release him from responsible ty for
his acts. The jury brought in a verdict of
guilty, which, by the statute, subjects Mar.
tin to one years imprisonment and after that
the Governor may order his execution. This
case may certainly be set down as one OF the
uncertainties OF The law. If Martin had
shot somebody for seduction, the Jury would
have cleared him on account of insanity.
though he never before had exhibited any
evidence OF mental alteration. But here, in
this trial, there vas direct and positive prouf
OF frequent attacks of insanity, aud the kill
ling itself, under the circumstances, was an
additional proof of the absenee of reason:
yet the jury convict him of murder! Are
such contradictions in nries a proof that
are often governed more by the feelings

MEXICAN AFFAIRs-IMPoRTANr.-Tbf
Washington correspondent of the New Yorh
Times says that private letters from a higblv
responsible source have been received here
from Mexico, giving details OF q secret treaty
etween Miramon and the Government OF
Sardinia, by which the former grants to Sar-
diniu the States of Tabasco, Tehunantepe
and China for five millions of dollars. France
advancing one million and guaranteeing the
payment o fthe balance.
Slrdinia is to send out emigrants as form
erly arranged for by Zuluoga under a COLONY
grant TO Sardinia.
This information is regarded as perfectly
reliable by a gentleman here well versed in
Mexican affairs. He thought it had no,
been communicated to our government owing
to the Incrednllty of the Administration re-
speeding all facts going 10 prove that Europe
is about enforcing the Monroe doctrine
against the United States.
The Herald's correspondent says, there
are rumors here, believed to be from an au.
thentic source, that Miramon has entered
into negotiations with foreign governments,
to cede the control of the whole section Of
Mexico known as the Isihmus of Tehante-
pee.
Thus one by one the transit routes ore
passing AWAY irretrievably from the United
States, while Europe is drawing closely the
cord that may shut Us from our PaciGc pos
sessions.
The Administration has the whole matter
before them, and it remains to be seen wha,
they will do. III.

The following paragraph from the Cin-

reader an idea of the extent of the ediigra-
ton to the Pixies Peak gold region:
ga statement published in the river de.
partment shows the number of Pixies Peak
adventures, who have passed through this
city, by river alone. SO far to be $3.50. We
have no means of estimating the number
gone West by railroad from this place. The
tide of emigration for that region has fairly
set in, and there is now, probably, not less
than one hundred thousand people en- route
for the newly discovered gold regions
Nine-tenths of these. at least, instead of
fortunes, will encounter hardship, starvation
and disa appointment"
