WankfalaeSS as the htcsatjve 20 Gratitude
CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned desirOus of acquaiuting those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted,
where a permanent relief of their sufferings NAV be
obtained feels his duty to thus publicly express his
most sincere gratitude to DR.. L. J. Czapkay for the
permanent recovery of his health Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious prac
tce OF dnoontroable passion in youth; depressed in
body aad mind, upable to perform the most tr-
fling duty imposed upon the daily avocatio of life l
sought the advice Of many physicians who az 6rst re-
garded my disease Of triang Importance; bat alas!
after few weeks, and in seVera instances months of
theirtreatment, found to my unuserabe horror that
instead Of relief my symptoms became more alarming
in their torture and being by one that my disease
being principally confined to the brain, medicines
would be Of little consequence despaired of ever re-
gaining health, strength and energy and, as last
resort, and with but faint hope, called upon Dr..
Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed
some medicine which almost instantly relieved me Of
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encouraged
by the result resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care, and by strict obedience to all his d-
rectons and advice, my head became clear my ideas
collected the constant pain in my back and grons,
the weakness OF my imbs the nervous reaction of my
whole body the slightest alarm or eXcitement the
msanthropy and evil forebodngs the self-distrust
and want of confidence in others, the incapabitv TO
study, and want Of resolution, the frghtfu exciting
and at times, pleasurable dreams by night followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared and
in fact in two months after having consulted the Doc.
tor, felt as if inspired by new fe-thaU life which
a short time ago, contemplated TO end with my own
hand.
With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into the snares Of incompetent quacks, deem my
duty to offer this testimony to the merits and skill of
DR.. C2:pkay, and recommend him to all who may
stand in need of medical advice, being assured by
own experience that once under his care, a radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

Remarkable Cure of Consumption.

The almost miraculous that has been effected in
my case, prompts me to impart to those oi my iellow
creatures who may be suffering from like alllicton
the source ofreel with short description ofmy case
Several years ago my health began TO fail. was at
tackled by general weakness and debility, which re-
duced me to the mere shadow of my former self AT
that stage sought medical assistance, and expended
large amounts, but without the least beneficial result
That fell destroyer CONSUMPTION, had already seized
upon my vitals. l was daily drawing closer to the
tomb; my physicians helu out no hope ofrecOvery my
strength had wasted, and was in state of almost
utter prcsiration. l was informed by my physicians
that they could do nothing for me except to smooth
my path to the grave, when most fortunately, applied
TO Dr. H. J. Czapkay, and sn a well and perfectly
sound man. 1t is difficult for me to express the emo
tons of deepest gratitude experience when ealizng
the mmeasurabe service have received at the hands
Of Dr. Czapkay and feel reoiced that it is at least
in my power to tender this feeble recognition Of his
great skill and capacity. To the afflicted would say,
do not despair, for whatever may be the nature of
your case am confident that you will find relief by
applying to DR.. L. ). Czapkay.

The SoUTH.-The Philadelphia Ledger says
ssThe Southern States, not including Della
ware, owe as State debts the sum of 5 $l3l ,000,-
600. To meet the interest OF this debt re-
quires burdensome taxes. If they should set
up seperate confedetacy, they will require
an army, q navy, postal establishment, courts,
&c. This would require at least half the a.
mount it now costs for the entire Union, say,
$4,000, 900 year. As the first step of the
confederacy would be to abolish the tariff and
open its ports free to commerce, it would have
to raise its revenue by direct taxation. This
is most expensive mode OF collection, and a
large amount OF the sum collected, from pas
sing through so many hands, would be lost.
But whether the revenue will be raised by di-
RECT taxation or by duties ON imports the a.
mount will come entirely out of the pockets of
the Southern people. With large debt and
increased taxation, the new Government will
find itself crippled in its finances, its credit
impaired and its people overloaded with taxa
tion, which are certainly not the elements Of
prosperity il Government old or new.

ASTUPENDous CONFIDENCE GAME.-The hea-
West confidence game we remember ever to
have heard of, is said to have been successful
ly practiced in st. Louis on Saturday last, up
on a rich planter from near Nashville, Tenn,
named I. L. Newcomb. This gentleman, ac-
cordng to the St.Louis papers, is worth $780,
600, and came to that city to invest $50, 900
in real estate. He made the acquaintance of
a man named Johnson, with whom he had sew
eral interviews last week. On Saturday, John
son, it is alleged. having represented himself
as man of wealth, Informed Newcomb that
he had just closed contract whereby he bad
agreed to furnish the city with cellular iron
pavement sufficient to pave six hundred blocks,
but unfortunately he had not ready money
sufficient to engage in the enterprise, and he
would be obliged to mortgage his real estate
to raise the necessary amount-a thing he
didn't care to do. However, if Newcomb
would loan him 0,000, he would give him a
share of the profits. Mr.. Newcomb, not for a
moment doubling his honesty or his story, a.
greed to this and loaned him the sum of $4,000
in cash on the spot, and gave the remainder
$l2, ,OO0-in bank certificates, which he helped
johnson to collect at different banks in st.
Louis. johnson, therefore, got the twenty
thousand, Immediately disappeared, and has
not been seen since.

The intelligence from Washington in regard
to the relations of this country with Peru is
very important. The Government of Peru
having failed to satisfy certain claims upon it
held by American citizens, our minister, Mr..
Clay, had demanded his passports. In doing
this he acted under instructions received from
the Administration. immediately upon the
receipt OF this news at Washington, the Peru
Wan ambassador in this country was furnished
with his passports. This terminates all diplo-
matte intercourse between Peru and the uni
ted States. The amount of the American
claims is $3.50, 900. 1t results from the action
of the Peruvian Government in confiscating
the American vessels "Georgiana" and ssLiz-

The Personal Liberty act of Massachusetts
was passed by the famous Know Nc othing Lee
gislature of 1855, over the vote of Governor
Gardner. The next year, a bill was passed
through three stages of the popular branch Of
the Legislature for its repeal, and upon the
test vote, the measure had a majority of some
fifteen votes. The news of the cowardly and
brutal assault upon Senator of Massachusetts,
in tho National Capitol was received the next
day and the bill for the repeal of the Personal
Liberty Act was defeated on the vote upon the
engrossment. But for the assault of Brooks
on Charles Sumner, in 1855, there would to-
day have been personal liberty act on the
statue books of this State. In 1858, upon the
recommendation of Governor Banks, several
whole sections of the act were repealed. Tho
Governor of Georgia must be ignorant of the
fact of the repeal (says the Boston 7ranscripO.
as he recently cited the old act and made spe-
cial mention of some of the repealed sections
as being particularly offensive to the South.

THE REAL INsrIGAToRs OF DIsUNIoN.-The
very worst enemies of the North are those
Northern journals who ars continually msrep-
rcsenting Northern sentiment, and abusing
Northern people. They never make a state
ment which is not either directly or Indirect
ly libel upon great and powerful body of
Northern voters, composing majority of its
most intelligent, calm thinking, and conserva-
tive citizens. These false and malicious state
ments are eagerly copied by Southern Demo-
cratic journals, and read by Southern people,
and thus they contract the prejudices and hos
tile feelings towards the North, which we find
so general in that section. These nurthern in
cendiary sheets are eternally warning theSouth
of impending ruin in case of the success of the
Republican party, and that its object is to
wage war OF determination against their rights
and institutions. The millions of respectable
and law abiding men who constitute q party
which is no more radical on the Slavery ques-
tion than the old Wing party, and which has
elected President who stands in the footsteps
of that gallant old leader of that glorious old
party, are invariably and constantly denounc-
ed as sBlack Republicans" ssAbolitionists,' %
sNigger- -stealers,'' "Negro Equality men,
and so on and thus the seeds of sectional an
imosity and civil discord are sown. We have
too good an opinion of the masses OF the con-
servative people of the South, to suppose that
if they correctly understood the policy and
purposes Of the Republican party, any serious
cause of dissatisfaction would exist in conse-
quence of the election of republican Presi-
dent; but not even glimpse of the truth is
allowed to reach them through the Democrat
ic Journals. They not only falsify and dis
tort Northern opinions themselves, but will
not contradict the grossest and most mischiev-
GUS falsehoods on the part OF their Southern
contemporaries.

TAXING CoLD.-A cold is not necessarily,
says the Scientific .7mericas, the result of low
or high temperature. A person may go di-
rectly from hot bath into a cold one or into
snow even, and not take cold. On the con-
trary, he may take cold by pouring couple
Of tablespoonsful of water upon some part of
his dress, or by standing in door, or some
other opening where one part of the body is
colder than another. Let it be kept in mind
uniformity of temperature over the whole
body is the first thing to be looked after. 1t
is the unequal heat upon the different parts
of the body that produces cold, by disturbing
the uniform circulation OF some part. If You
must keep partially wet garment on, it
would pc as we'll perhaps to wet the whole OF
it uniformly. The feet are great source of
colds on account of the variable temperature
they subjected to. Keep these always
dry and warm, and avoid drafts of air. hot or
cold, wet spots on The garments, and other
direct causes of unequal temperature, and
keep the system braced up 10y plenty of sleep,
and the eSchewing of debiitating food and
drinks, and you will be proof against cold
and its results.
