Bitters, for Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Ner-
vous or Chronic Debility-are very
pleasant in taste and smell, and can be
taken under any circumstances. In
cases of Dyspepsia it acts like magic,
strengthening the tone of the stomach,
stimulating the digestive powers, and
giving ruddy health to the cheek, and
brightness to the eye. In all cases of
diseases of the stomach, whether acute
or chronic, it may be recommended for
its soothing, cordial and renoyating In
fluence. Dyspepsia, heartburn, loss of
appetite, nausea, nervous tremors, re-
taxation, debility, &C., are relieved by
the Bitters in very short space of
time, and perseverance in their use
never fails to work a thorough cure.

Arrival of the Steamship Europa.

Sandy Hook, March 7,-1:3O, P. M.
The royal mail steamship Europa,
from Liverpool the 10Th ult., has passed
this point on her way to New York.
The latest continental rumors are
more war-like, and military prepare
tons continue. 1t is reported that a
camp of 100000 men will soon form at
Toulon.
The cloud in the south of Europe is
dark and threatening, but clouds in the
east are big with tempests, and unless
Austria be persuaded to hold her peace
on the Roman rights, it is not impossi-
BILE that solution of the italian ques-
ton may be transferred from Rome and
Milan to Jaffa and Bucharest.
England proposes toreduce her home
and colonial forces, but to raise the
Indian. This is considered indicative
of the governments faith in the main-
tainance of peace.
The rumored ministerial changes, in
clude the retirement of the Lord Chan
sellor, Sir E. Lytton, and Gen. Piel.
Paris and Viena correspondence
abound in war-like rumors and military
movements continue active.
Napoleon's intentions are said to be
certainly war.
Victoria, in Vancouvre's Island, has
been declared a temporary port of entry
for British Columbia.
Movements of the troops continue
vepy active at Marseilles.
Reported, that Council of War was
formed, consisting of five of the most
distinguished Generals in the Austrian
army.
The Vienna correspondent of the
London Times says information has
been received from France, removing
all doubt as to the intention of Napol
con, and it would not be surprising to
see the Austrian army put suddenly
upon war footing.
100000 men could be fully prepared
for action within six weeks.
Another Wilma letter says Russia is
calling her furloughed soldiers, and
marching troops from Taganrog to the
Moldavian frontier.

More of the sickIes Tragedy.

The Albany Egegaing Statesman,
speaking of this affair, says:
The career of the individual who SO

turmoil, is familiar to our citizens, as
indeed 1t is known to the people of the
entire State. He has reputation for
everything bat integrity, honor. moral
Iity and manhood. If there is moral
vice with which he is not conversant-
practically familiar-we think it must
be indeed modern. Those who are
familiar with the libertine career which
first gave him possession of the unfor-
tunate woman whom he calls wife. will
not be surprised at the denoue1aept of
his married life. How she could SO
long preserve her purity through such
an example is a matter for conjecture.
In misfortune which ordinarily com
mands for man so injured the sym-
pathy of every human creature. he
seems less entitled to the consolation
to be derived from the coincidence of
his fellow-citizens than any man we
ever knew. We can recollect no one
act of his life that should bring him
even the well wishes of any mortal.

The Registry Law.

Democratic politicians are making a
terrible howl over the Registry Law,
and their most prominent objection
seems to be that it will surely kill off
the Republican party. That is proba-
bly, the great reason why they so per-
sistently opposed its enactment; and
in the name of the republican party,
we tender them our Acknowledgements
for the distinguished consideration"
they manifest for our health and
longevity. But it is most excellent
and necessary law; and does not and
will not disturb the minds of any but
those who want to elect office-holders
by the aid of fraudulent votes. All
the buster we read about wading knee
deep in mud to and from some distnat
part of the town, taoice, in order to
have the privilege of voting once, is
drawn from the fervid imagination of
the writer's. There is nothing what
ever in the law to justify such language
nor provision that will Inconvenience
any but the illegal voter, and that class
of "good democrats whose merit
consists in getting the largest number
of votes from the smallest number of
voters.

Congress


Adjourned on the 4th inst.,- after
three months session, and it would
puzzle any one to tell what single act of
the slightest benefit to the country has
been accomplished. They have, GER
tainly, passed most of the appropria-
ton bills, a list of which will be found
elsewhere; but they have likewise de-
feated number of important measures,
among which are, the Homestead Bill,
by the casting vote of the Vice Presi-
dent; the Agricultural Land Grant, and
the Appropriation for deepening the
St. Clair Flats, by the veto of the
President all of which would have
been of great benefit to the people of
Michigan. The appropriation of $780,
100000 for the Post Office Department
was defeated-and with it the section
authorizing an increased rate. of post
age,-by the obstinacy of Messrs.
Toombs and Hunter. This will make
it necessary to call an extra session at
an early day, the responsibility of
which, as regards the enormous ex-
pense and other fatal evils which it
will bring in its train, must rest with
the democracy, of whom they are the
leaders. The 100000 swindle is
dead, at least for the present, thanks to
the bold and manly stand taken by the
Republican members; who can go
home to their constituents; says the De-
troit Adcertiser, and with whom we
fully agree, with clear consciences and
clean hands. Their record is one upon
which they can safely go to the coun-
try. While they have offered no fac
tious opposition to any of the proper
recommendations of the President, as
he has had the grace to admit, they
have firmly resisted, as one man, every
measure not designed to promote the
best interests of the country.

"a The leaders of the locofoco
party say the Republicans cast the
most illegal votes; and yet they are
awfully enraged at law designed to
prevent illegal voting! What pure
set of politicians these locos are! They
don't wish the Republicans to be de-
tered from illegal voting not they.
The loeos never indulge, of course, in
such amusement; but they are enraged
that the Republicans cannot have a
chance to do so

votes of Michigan to say which plat
form they will choose.

WooI-GOOd Advice to Michigan Farmers.
A late number of the New York
Tribune contains some suggestions
upon the subject of the approaching
wool clip, by which the wool growers
of this State will do well to profit
"Therc are" it says, SHARP eyes
among the Western pastures in quest
of fieeces." The snow yet plates the
dead grasses of the prairies. -Four
months of winter and of vigorous
spring, still separates us from shearing
time. Yet there are hands now busy
all over the West in taking feeces off
the backs of the sheep, by contract, for
future delivery at present prices. May
these mid-winter shearers come back
shorn!
Can any of our farmer friends mis-
take, or fail to apprehend the character
of the bargain that is offered them for
wool while yet on the sleeps back?
Is it not always made on behalf of the
dealers in the large cities, upon the
certainty that the price will advance
before the coming of the clipping-sea-
son? 1t always is. And we believe
that every sale of wool thus made by
our farmers in anticipation of theregu-
lar market, has Melted them a loss, and
the purchaser a profit. Numerous are
the instances where as high an advance
as five cents pound has been offered
to spectators in wool on the back, for
an assignment of their contracts.
For twelve months to come there
probably will be no diminution of the
present value of wool in the great
Eastern markets. One motive for an
Immediate sale we deem to be taken
away by the conviction of this truth.
The rise thus far since the last clip has
been fully fifty per cent. We sincerely
hope to hear next June and July that
our farmers generally got so per cent.
more for their wool in 1859 than they
got in 1858. To that end they should
|resolutely decline offers made to them
in the snow, unless they are so much
higher than we hear they are, as to
make the SO per cent. advance sure,
with four months interest beside. For
the general information of the too-small
number of our agriculturists who have
fiocks of seep, we give the prices OF
American wool in the New York mar

when purplish green, the Prussian
