RADwAY's REGULATING PILLS

Are the great regenerative medicine of the
age. Ladies for years the victims of depress-
ing, lite-consuming complaints of special
nature, are restored to health and vigor by
their use. All the ordinary affections of the
stomach, bowels, and liver, yield to the first
or second dose. Six Pills suffice in the worst
cases, and they operate in from three to six
hours, more efectually than 80 of the drastic
class given in such nauseating quantities.
Coated with sweet gum the Pills have dis
agreeable flavor. They not only cure Costive-
ness they are infallible- Dyspeptics who have
suffered for years, recover i'll few weeks un-
der this painless operation. They act power
fully upon the circulation of the blood, rem
dering it uniform and equableA throughout the
system.

Emancipation.

The Albany Evening Journal, which re-
fleets to great extent the views of Mr.. Sew
ard, has the following as the conclusion OF
an article in relation to the effect of the war
on the negroes:
But the result we anticipated has not come
to pass. Slavery, so far from being an ele.
ment of weakness, has been an element OF
strength to the rebels. The blacks have
failed, except in few cases, to embrace the
opportunities of freedom. They have fail
ed as class to prove that they very ardent
" covet change of circumstances. It is
true they have sought our camps in large
numbers; but they have not exhibited any
thing like settled purpose 20 strike for
liberty. They have talked vaguely about
the 'Canaan of the North" but they have
not struggled very desperately to reach the
promised land. It may be answered that
they have received no encouragement from
our Government; but the very fact that they
have not. aken the initiative. but VISITED for
others to do the work of emancipation for
them, is strong presumption of their luke
warmnesS and want of moral courage.
So deep has the canker of bondage eaten
into the soul of the slave that he is become
half enamored of his chains 4! We have lit

in which we are engaged. Whatever is done
for him, must, for the present at least. be
suggested by ourselves. We must not only
show him the path, but teach him how to
walk.
This is not pleasant truth to learn, but
we cannot know it too soon. We have
counted far too much upon the negro. and
far too little upon the stout arms of freemen,
as the capital agent in crushing out the re-

A Ball in Richmond.

They have had a great ball lately ii
Richmond, according TO female rebel au.
thority, at which Miss Hetty Carey, one o.
the pretty daughters of Mr.. Wilson Carey,
a prominent secessionist teacher of Balti-
more, figured most conspicuously. The
story goes that she appeared at the ball
dressed as a captive slave. with her arms
tied at the wrists, and bearing the shield
of Maryland on her bosom = indicating
thereby the chains by which this State is
kept IN the Union. JEFF. Davis came for
ward during the evening and released her
manacled hands by untying the cords that
bound her visits, and thus. in the person of
the lovely Miss Hetty Cary. freed Maryland
from her bondage to the Federal power.
amid the stormy applause Of the company.
Miss Carey and one of her sisters are earn
ing livelihood as clerks in the rebel ad-
ministration. This event has created the
most intense delight and sympathy in the
upper crust of secessiondom in Baltimore.
