In presenting the merits of this in
valuable medicine again to the public,
after trial of more than twenty years,
as a certain, safe, and speedy cure of
most of the chronic diseases of the
urinary organs, the proprietor feels
fully prepared to present such an array
of facts, of the most indubitable kind,
from persons living in has olca iDlme-
didte neigh6orhood, and has o.cn county,
as we'll as elsewhere, and such an array
of evidence as he confidently believes
has never before been presented TO the
public in favor of any other medicine,
patented or not, right at the place where
it started, and enough to satisfy even
the most fastidious and incredulous,
and leave them without the shadow of
a doubt of the certain efficacy of the
LITHONTRIPTIC in the cure
of Calculi, or Stone in the
Bladder and Kidneys, Ora
vel Deposits, Inflammation
of the Kidneys and Bladder,
Chronic Gonorrh9a, Weak
ness of the Loin, ProlapSus
Uteri, Sympathetic Complaints at
tendant on Pregnancy, &c, &c );
and in time of Labor the Lithon-
triptic has no equal on record, as can
be proved by many Certificates.
Among those testifying TO its efficacy
may be mentioned, in has o,cn neigh
borhOod and county, the PHYSICIANS,
the CLERGY, CLERKS OF THE CIRCUIT
AND COUNTY Courts, MEMBERS OF
THE LEGISLATURE, THE GRAND jury
of his own county, FARMERS, MEM
BERs OF CONGRESS- from his own
district, &c., &c. an array of tcsti-
mony sufficient to leave all persons la
boring under any of the above-men-
toned diseases perfectly without any
excuse for not obtaining the Lithon-
triptic and being healed, but downright
obstinacy or the most inveterate anti
pathy against any secret remedy. l
will say, in the language of Holy Writ,

that | shall adduce; neither would you
believe though one arose from the dead
and told you of the great efficacy of the
Lithontriptic.
The Faculty and the public may be
surprised to hear of remedy that will
certainly dissolve Calculi, or Stone in
the Bladder, and cause it to pass off
with the urine, and permanently cure
almost all the chronic diseases of the
Urinary Organs, those heretofore in
durable diseases. But the proprietor
is certain that at last he has found out
this great desideratWn an Medicine, a
certain and so cure for these diseases.
And all he wants, wishes, or desires, is
for the Faculty aud the afflicted to give
his medicine fair and impartial trial,
and he has no doubt that they will
be thoroughly convinced of its great
efficacy; and if it does not do what he
represents it to do, he would like to
know it and let it be exposed; but if
it does effect these cures, he hopes, for
the sake of suffering humanity, the Fd-
culty-the guardians of public health
will give it their influence. There is
no humbuggery in the Lithontriptic;
every certificate is genuine, and the
proprietor will give one thousand dol
lars to any person who viii find out
one spurious certificate.
Any person doubling the truth of
any thing that has been said, is ear
nestly and respectfully requested TO
correspond with any person whose
name is annexed TO any certificate, and
thereby convince himself of the truth
of every thing that has been published.
The number of bottles that it usu-
ally takes to cure is from one to FIVE;
though it has been known to take ten
bottles where there were extremely
large formations of Calcui or Stone
to be dissolved in the bladder.
For the efficacy of the Lithontriptic
see the Circular, containing some of the
most wonderful certificates in the world,
around each bottle.

A BANQUET FOR SEvENry.FIvE Thou. SAND SoLDIERs.--In the same council when it was decided to disarm, the Elm. peror of the French resolved to give to the fifty or the seventy-fve thousand men ol the Italian army, who will make their en- try in Paris on the 18th of August, (to- day,) a dinner, as consolation or mark oi acknowledgment. The dinner will take place in the Park of St. Cloud This gigantic repast will be ordered at five francs head, furnished by the entrep- rsneurs of weddings and banquets. The New York Express remarks:
 "The Caesars of Rome never saw love feast like that. This will be the occasion for the Emperor to reconcile, by touching glasses, the Marshals Canrobert and Mel who are much hurt since the battle of Sol ferino The former is displeased with the report of the latter, which appeared to criminate him. and he demanded an ex- plana,ion. Bu, the Emperor intercepted the letter, ordered it to be destroyed, and declared that nothing more should be said about it."

LOCATION OF THE WICHITA AND CA MANcHE INDrANs.-Maj. Elias Rector has selected site for the Agency for these two tribes, at the eastern base of the Wi chita mountains, on the waters af the Wi chita, a branch of Red river. The Texas Indians will be removed to their new homes forthwith, and the Wichitas vii follow in a short time. A selection for q military post has also been made by Mai Emory, commander at Fort Arbuckle near the site selected for the Agency; anC the Government will have to send troops there immediately, to protect these In dians, as 1t is we'll known that the Wichi tas fled from their old homes to Fort Ar. buckle for protection from the Camanches shortly after Maj. Van Dorn's first battle with that tribe.
 The country is known as that leased by the Government from the Choctaws, and lies between the ninety-eigh,h and one hundredth degrees of west longitude. and a little south of the the thirty.fi,h parallel of latitude, or Whipple's route, and near Beale's wagon.road, The land is rich and fertile, possessing plenty of water and timber for agricultural purposes.

MAKING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. Under this caption we find the follow. ing in the H. Louis Republican of the 23rd inst:
 MT. D. W. BARTLETT, of the Southern District of New York, has undertaken to make Presidential candidates for the peo- pie of the United States, to be used in lS- 60. He has found twenty-one, who are supposed to be adequate to this duty, and trois them out, with the history of all their best points for race. The table of con- tents ranks them in this order; Wm. H. Seward, Stephen A. Douglas, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, Daniel S. Dickin- son, John Bell John P Hale, Alex. H. Stephens, N. P. Banks, Jo Lane, John Mclean, Henry A. Wise. R. M. T. Hunter, Henry Wilson, James H. Ham, mond, Howell Cobb, John c. Brecken- ridge, and John C. Fremont. There are 360 pages in the book. and to the five first named personages in the series one hun dred and fifty pages are devoted, MT. Seward occupying forty-two pages. We are inclined to think the people may go out of the line prescribed by Mr. Bartlett, and select some man not named or dreamed of by him. Stranger things have happened.

DE Bows REVIEW ON MIR. DouGLAs.- DE Bows REvIEw--that most unhinch ing champion of every southern interest concludes aR unfavorable criticism on MT Douglas views, with the following pas sage:
 In his extenuaticn. however, 1t must be allowed, that, for sli practical interests his ungenerous departure from the ortho. dox faith is utterly without significance With regard to the ultimate status of Ter. ritory, 1t IS not matter of the remotes consequence whether the question of slave. " is disposed of by the Territorial legisla- ture, or by it's constitutional convention. - If the majority want slavery they'll have il and if they don't want it, they'll reject it, Postponing the question until the framing of the Constitution, though right in princi- pie is of small importance in practice.
 The history of the last three or four new states brings the southern mind face to face with two great facts, which il can not escape knowledge of, if it would These are. that the North, having the sur plus population, will always outstrip the the soath in peoping new territories; and that so long as the prices of negroes keep them out of the hands of the northern em. igrants, who are chiefly poor men, so long will new territories be framed into free States. It is we'll that these facts are now pressing on the south. They will now fl. nally drive her to the true solution of the vexed negro question; for when she at last realizes that slave states can only be con- strucied on the basis of cheap negroes, she will consent to reopen the trade with Af- rica.

THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRApE.-A New Orleans correspondent writes the following to the Charleston Courier:
 Chatting with some friends the other evening, the African slave trade topic came up, from newspaper paragraph about the subject Tn Texas. One of the gentlemen said that he was aware of the fact that the parties interested expected to have fourteen vessels on the way this fall from the coast of Africa to the coast oi Texas, and counted on landing, without interruption, the "live" cargoes of seven oI their vessels.

A VENERABLE BIsHop.-The Rev. Joshua Soule, D. D., senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, delIv- cred sermon at Lebanon, Ohio. on the 3lst ultimo. It is stated that some of his allusions to his early ministerial life, the deaths of his former colleagues, Wheat coat, Mc'Kendree, George and others, were very touching. "Sixty years ago., said the Bishop, "on the 9th of January last, left my fathers home to begin the work of a Methodist travelling preacher, and this day, July 3l, close the 18th year ofmy life." He spoke with his usual dis tinctness and compass of voice sufficient to make himself heard by large congrega- ton.
