Heal the Sick.

Diseases of the Bowels and Stomach are al
ways caused by large deposites of hurtful mat
ter, left by bad or impure blood in those i'm.
portant organs, and the poisonous material in
this vitiated blood, acting on the system, makes
it too weak to throw off this matter by the ma.
tural channels, or if any is carried off it is a
very small portion. So arise diarrhea, dysen-
terry, collie, costiveness. bad breath, indigestion,
nausea, loss Of appetite, belching of wind of
the stomach, etc. To cure all these " the blood
is life, and must be perfectly pure and clean,
then you cannot be sick. A short use of JUD-
SONS MOUNTAIN HERB PILLS will de-
light you. You will feel with surprise their
mighty power, and be willing to say with the
red men of the west, truly they are the "migh-
ty healer"
Sold at Independence by c. r. Wallace, and

Gold for Wheat.

EH Mr.. SEXTON. grain buyer, desires
us to say to the farmers, that he is now
paying gold for wheat, and wants them
to bring along what they have for sale
On the train, on Tuesday, we also heard
OF gentleman who is coming here with
$4,000 in gold, for the purchase OF
grain. AT the East there is plethora
OF gold and silver, and as there is, and
surely will be, demand for our bread
stuffs. it will be just as easy to sell for
gold as for the worthless rags that we
have heretofore taken. AS disastrous
as is the effect of this depreciation Of
currency at this particular juncture. if it
will only have the effect to drive these
worthless institutions out of existence.
and give us currency like our own
State notes, it will be in tho end very
fortunate for US.

Railroad Celebration.

~ Our truly enterprising neighbors
OF Cedar Falls had good time on Thurs
day last, celebrating the completion o.
the Railroad to that point. We regret
that we did not arrive home in time to
participate. Independence was not rep
resented on the occasion, owing. we un-
derstand, entirely to the fact that the ex-
cursion train arrived at this place an
hour or two sooner than it was expected.
The opening Of the District Court, for
this county, also probably prevented many
from going who would otherwise have
been glad to rejoice with our neighbors.
We all feel an interest in, and greet with
pleasure the progress of, the road West
ward. We gratefully acknowledge a
ticket of invitation to the celebration.

An Incident.

RE- Gu Saturday, in the District
Court, while a case was on trial, and the
jury attentively listening to the witness
es. some one brought into the Court
room Dubuque paper containing the
first account Of the fight at Charleston.
The news ran around the Court room in
stantly, and created much excitement
Lawyers, witnesses and jurymen caught
the infection, and it was found impossi-
BILE to proc ed with the case until all had
heard and digested the news. The jury
would give no attention until the war ac-
counts had been read to them, which was
done by order Of the Court, who ordered
suspension of proceedings for that pur-
pose. Had South Carolina been on trial
she would have suffered severely from
the indignation of that jury.

SoUTH Governor Pickens
states the total military expenses thus far,
as reported by the State Treasurer, at
S640,3l7' This does not include the
expenses incurred by individuals, and
there are heavy arrears of pay due 10 the
troops. The expenses have been dimin-
ished by stealing arms and military stores
from the United States. The military
loans, effected and authorized, exceed a
million, and will all be used up before
the summer comes. The State has
three hundred thousand white people
in il.

Tennessee.

This noble State, as we advised our
readers weeks ago, is up to the fighting
point, and it is exceedingly doubtful if
the people there can be much longer re-
strained from demoishing the jeff Davis
conspiracy by main force.
A late number of the Nashville Dem
ocrot says:
" There is a point beyond which we
cannot goa point at which forbearance
ceases to be virtue. We suggest that
we have very nearly reached that point
now. The straw that is to break the cam
els back is now about to be put on. The
straw is the tariff which the seeding
Cottonocracy proposes to levy on such
goods and wares as our people send into
those States for sale. Not satisfied with
stealing our forts, arsenals, money, and
other property, they now propose TO tax
us for the privilege,of selling our lumber
goods, iron and manufactured articles in
their borders.
In the name of high Heaven, what are
we to do Are the freemen of Tennes-
see willing to bear the rule of traitors
who are ready TO betray us into the hands
of taskmasters 4? Tennessee, Kentucky
and the other border States. are to pay
tribute to King Cotton. We have shed
our blood and spent millions of money
to acquire free access to the Gulf of Mex
leo. We have built forts to protect our
commerce on that Gulf. We acquired
the right to the free and unobs,ruc.ed
navigation Of the Mississippi river. 1t
is our right. and no power on earth can
or shall deprive us of it. That river and
those forts and custom houses are as
much our property as is the State CAPT
tol at Nashville"

Our trip has resulted pleasantly to our
self, and by recuperating our energies,
we trust may eventually profit our read

nothing, for Mr.. LArHRoP has admlra-

than made good our loss. Private mat
ters, since our return, have almost ex-
clusively engaged our attention, and Mr..

which will account for the paucity of ed
