We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy IS invaluable IN districts
where these affecting disorders prevail This
"CuRg" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
yelopment OF the disease, it taken on the first ap-
6roach of its premonitory symptoms. ltisnOt only
the best remedy yet discovered fDr this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar bringsit within the
reach Of every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
aye it and use it freely both foreHre and protcc
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of Internittents IS that it contains TO Quiins
or mineral consequently it produces no qninism OF
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. These cured by it are left as healthy as u
they had never had the disease. -sssL
Fever and Agne is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor'

that will be cxcreted from the system, and cannot

UNSAFE CoUNsELLORs.-The Republican
papers are quoting the speeches and sayings
of such unprincipled politicians as Daniel
S. Dickinson, b. F. Butler, john Cocbrane,
and others of that class, to prove that the
Democratic masses of the North are 10 fa-
vor of emancipation as war measure. A
little over a year ago, these men were lead
ers of the ultra pro-slaveFy fanatics, pros
tituted their influence and talents to bring
on the present civil war, and have now
turned a complete somersault, and are
recommending impracticable schemes of
emancipation. In order to keep their
friends and relatives in office, they defended
all the villanUus acts of Buchanan's adj
mnistration, and continued to encourage
the Secessonists until civil war was fairly
inaugurated, when they suddenly changed
to the other extreme. They are unsafe
counselors at best and do not in any sense
represent the sentiment Of the Democratic
masses. They represent only that class OF
men who change their politics TO suit their
interest, and have no influence with, nor
authority to speak for, the million and
half of Democrats who voted for Stephen
A. Douglas.

The TULARE CANAL COMPANY. The Visa
liza Delta says that the amount of land en-
braced in the grant of Montgomery & Co.,
for the Tulare Canal, is between 500,0 900
and 100000 acres, according to the report
of their own engineer. Nearly enough to
make State about the size ofRhode Island.
This quanttw Of land, at the low price Of
So per acre, will yield the Company the
nice little sum of SO, 900, 900. The company
have forfeited their charter but probably
an effort will be made before the next Leg.
islature, to have il renewed.

CONDITION OF SACRAMENTO MIR. Chinn,
who arrived in Nevada night before last,
from Sacramento, informs us that all the
lower portion Of the city is flooded, and
there is no way of leaving the place, or
travelling any distance, except in boats. The
water was Eve feet deep on the Capitol site.
The business portion of the town, along
aud X streets to 11th or 18th, is out of
water, though the streets aud sidewalks are
80 muddy as to render II almost impossible
TO get round. On Saturday last the water
stood twenty-five feet aud seven inches
above low water mark, and has since been
iowly falling.

MAIL IRREGULARlTTEs.-In some remarks
in our last issue, on the Irregularities of
the malls, we probably did the Marysvlle
Postmaster injustice. We accused him, on
the authority of the stage driver, Of being
70 pious, that be refused to allow the Ne
vada mail to be taken from that Office on
Sunday last From information derived
from the Nevada Postmaster, we are salts
fed it was the fault of the person empop-
ed by Stage Company, whose business it is
10 deliver the mail at the stage eface. The
Stage Company have no contract to carry
the mail on Sunday, though they can do so If
they choose, and have, for several years,
brought up Sunday mail fromSacramento.
AS the Nevada mail now comes round by
way of Marysvile. causing a detention of
one day, people were considerably vexed
that it should have been delayed another
day unnecessarily. II will perhaps, be some
weeks before direct mail communication
with Sacramento is resumed.

LARGE DEFALcATIoN.-A heavy defaca-
iion has just come to light in the office Of
the Tax Collector of Yuba county. The
amount, says the Appeal of yesterday, is
variously estimated at $4,000 and $50, 900
and the operations are supposed to have
extended over considerable period of time.
A portion of the bOndsmen of the collector
are In solvent aud reliable condition, and
a special meeting of the Board of Supervi-
sOrs will develop the actual amount of the
defalcation, and take the necessary steps to
secure the county aud bondhOlders from
loss.

APPEARANCE OF WASHINGTON CRY "A
Washington correspondent, writing Nov.
10Th, says Of thai city.
This city is certainly SPLENDID failure /;
great streets and little houses, and its magnih-
cent distances proverbial. l climbed on Satur-
day to the dome of the Capitol (and advise no
one to follow my example for it does not "pay')
and looked out on the scene for miles around.
Below lay the skeleton of great metropolis (;
only its skeleton. outlines bare offlling up, and
with long spaces of melancholy significance.
The town itself is unfinished, while around it
its low red hills are white with the camp homes
Of the soldiers that have come to prevent its
destruction before it has even grown to be
city. In its centre the great white marble struc-
ture that was to shelter in its lofty halls the
children Of the Republic, stands all incomplete,
only an outline of future beauty, while within
sight from its summit are the blue hills of Man
assas, where the hostile armies Of those unnat-
ural children threaten with desolation the very
heart of their national mother.

ANOTHER NAVAL ExPEDITION.-At latest
advices by mail from the East, naval ex-
pedtion on an immense scale was being or
ganized at Annapolis. It's destination has
never been announced, and its object is still
a secret with the Government AT the
close Of November eight regiments bad
gathered at Annapolis to join it. and alto
gether more troops are expected to compose
this grand gathering than Gen. Sherman
commanded when the Dupont expedition
sailed. The names Of twenty-three vessels
are published as composing the feet; and
among the cargo of the fleet are several
army pontoon bridges, of new and peculiar
constructon-an intimation that some in.
land operations are contemplated with the
troops.

MURDER IN MENDoCNO COUNTY.-A man
known as "Three-6ngered.Jack" was killed
at the mouth Of NevarrO river, in Meudo-
oino county, week before last, by person
named Hargrave and his sou--the result
of dispute between the parties concerning
land At last advices there bad been no
arrests made. Considerable excitement ex-
listed among the people, and there was some
talk Of lynchsng the murderers,

TELEGRAPH WORKING.-W learn from
MIR. Pattlson, the operator at Nevada, that
the telegraph lines are once more working
throughout the State and overland. The
Union received its regular dispatch from
the East lust night, but not in time for this
mornings issue of the paper. The news is
week later than has been received in this
State, and undoubtedly contains important
intelligence. We shall issue an extra to-
morrow morning if we can get the dis
patch.

GoING TO DEcAY.-The new Houses OF
Parliament, in London, erected only few
years since at immense cost, and distin-
guished for their imposing dimensions and
ornate architecture, are going TO decay. 1t
was supposed that the structure would en-
dure for ages, as monuments Of the archi-
icct's taste and scnlptor's skill but the
stones of which it was built are already
crumbling. To arrest, If possible, the fur.
ther disintegration of the splendid pile, the
British Government appointed acommisson
of scientific men to investigate the cause of
decay, ascertain II any remedies could be
applied, and report the result Of their la.
bors. The report has lately appeared, and
gives some valuable information as to the
most durable kinds Of stone for expensive
structures; but upon the oil important ques-
tion, of q remedy to check the premature
decay of the Parliament Houses, the report
affords little consolation.

FLooDs IN SANTA CLARA CoCNTY.-The
San Jose Tribune Of December 9th says: The
STAGES for the steamer at Alviso could not pass
the bridges over the GuadalouPe this morning
in consequences of the rise in the river. The
stream has overfowed its banks, and the water
is up to the fence Of the Convent Notre Dame.
The stages were compelled to go to Alyiso by
the new turnpike road. We also learn that the
Coyote is very high, and that the stages tor Oil
row. San Juan, Watsonvile and Santa Cruz,
did not leave this morning, being apprehensive
that they could not make the trip IN conse-
ouence Of the rise in the streams.

A MISSISSIPPI GUN-BoAT.-An exchange
furnishes the following account of one Of the
gunboats of the Mississippi feet:
A powerful gunboat has been prepared at
st. Louis, which Captain Foote intends to make
the flag ship of the Mississippi feet. 1t was
formerly the government snag boat Thos. IL.
Benton, was afterwards sold to wrecking COM
pany, and subsequently purchased by the gov
ernment for conversion into gunboat. For
eight weeks about two hundred men have been
at work upon her, and their labors are nearly
completed. The twin hulls Of the Benton have
been connected so as to form one powerful hull
of 1856 feet in length and "A fn breadth. The
hull is very staunch, and is sealed up inside
with three and four inch plank. 1t is divided
into forty water tight compartments; thus the
Benton may be considered one of the safest war
vessels it is possible to build for it would scarce
ly be possible to penetrate every compartment
during the closest and heaviest firing into her
for hours. And then her hull over to below the
water line, as well as every other exposed part
of the boat, is covered with heavy iron. That
about the middle of the hull is two and half
inches in thickness, and securely fastened by
one and half inches iron bolts being counter
sunk, so that they cannot be knocked off by
shot.

WHEAT CRoP IN OH1o.-From all parts Of

prospect for an abundant harvest is undoubted-

ground so completely covered with the plant,
as to enable it to resist the Winter frosts with
