iering with Treasury notes, to the seriovs in
jury of public credit.
Mr.. Cowan thought such resolution should
not have been introduced, but now the issue
was made the resolution ought to be passnd
that facts may come forth.
Mr. Henderson thought this resolution was
going to have the effect of making two parties

have done, that the rebels wont fight, for they

incompetent let the President remove him at
once, but he henderson, had seen no incom-
potency in front of Richmond. We are al
ways apt to underate the force of the rebels.
We must have more energy and larger force
or we shall never put down this rebellion

would vote for the resolution as he desired
facts, but was sorry to hear the charges of dis
loyalty against Gen. Mcclellan.
Mr.. salisbury denied making any such
charge.
Mr.. salisbury offered an amendment to the
resolution, so as to include the number OF

IL gard, sallOw, cadaverOus faces and wasted
skeleton forms we meet. This is not confined to
the old, but we see the young, ablebodied, and
those in the prime of life, complain after being
here some time of illness; some grow unnaturally
fat suddenly; others waste and grow thin; they
cannot localze or describe their disease, yet they
feel universally unwell mentally and physically;
some have pains and weakness in the breast
limbs or body; they feel want of muscular and
mental energy, want of animation, and have
fearful forebodings for the future, poor appetite
nervous irritability and sleepessness; their skin
is dry and occasionally flushed and heated, thin,
palid and yellow.
Now sudden deaths, lunacy and universal debi-
lity is too, too prevalent here; and who wonders
when combined with climate like this, dry air
impregnated with electricity and galvanism?-
We hnve many who have passed through sick
ness, whose life is intemperatc and debauched, or
have seen others who have been nearly doctored
to death by quack medicines, or by the advice OF
"The Faculty" who haveimpregnated them with
mercury, calOmel &c.
For all such cases is DR.. jacob Webber's Invi-
gorating Cordial Sangufer most especially adap.
ted inasmuch as the above cases and symptoms
did DR.. Webber mnutely study in adapting his
Cordial to their cure. 1t enlivens the torpid

There never was remedy gave such delight
to the sufferer as this. The Agent can, from his
own knowledge of cures effected by it, conscien-
tiously recommend it in any of the following dis
eases: Nervousness, Weakness, Langour, Loss of
Appetite, Sleep or Strength, Trembling, Low

WINE MAKING. we are informed will not

the business has almost ceased 10 be profitable.
We learn, however, that this year it will be
in great measure controlled by men who
understand it, and who have the means TO do
it rinht, and are determined to redeem the
character of our wines from the rrproach
under which it is latoring. The manufac'
ture of wine is business that requires skill,
experience and patience, and money to hold
until the article has the proper maturity.
1t is the height of folly for every man who
has an acre or two of vines to attempt wine
making. Better sell the grape even at low
price TO men who are thoroughly ver>eI in
the business This is the only way to esab
lsh a reputation for our wines, and the more
popular they become. the better of course
for all concerned. The vine grower is hene'

Many fair exotic twines;
Many gaily tinted flower
Meath the glossy foliage shines,
By the poor mans lowly cottage,

Yet love the air of freedom
Blooming from clover field.

Roses in their blushing pride,
These may wreath their regal beauty
