THANKFULNEss Is THE INCENTIVE TO
GRATITUDE

The undersigned, desirous of acduaipting
those who may beunforunate enough to be Sim.
ilarly afflicted where permanent relief of their
sufferings may be obtained, feels it his duty
to thus publicly express his most sincere graf
itude TO DR.. L. J. Czapkay, for the permanent
recovery Of his health. Borne down by the
distre ssing symptoms incident to the vicious
practices of uncomfortable passion in youth,
depressed in body and mind, unable to perform
even the mosttrifing duty imposed by the daly
ayocations of life, sought the advice of many
physi- clans, who at first regarded nv disease
as of trihing Importance; but, alas, after few.
weeks, and in several instances, months, of.
their treatment, found to my unutterable
horror, that instead of relief, my symptoms be-
came more al arming in their torture, and Le--
ing told by one that my disease being principally
confined to the brain, medicine would be of lit
tie consequence, despaired of ever regaining
my health, strength and energy and rs last
resort called on DR.. Czapkay, who after ex- d.
amining 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 under.
his care, and by strict obedience to. ell his di
rections and advice my head became clear, nv
ideas collected, the constant pain in nv back
and groins, the weakness of my flimbs, the per.
vous reaction of my whole body on the sligktes.
alarm or excitement, the misanthroIy and evil.
forbcdmgs, the self-distruSt and want of cons
fidence in Others, the incapability t. study. and
want of resolution, the frightfui, exciting.
and at times, ,pieasurable dreams by hight, fal-
lowed BY involuntary discharges, have ali dis
appeared, and,in fact. in two months sfler
having consulted the Doctor, / feltas If inspire
ed by a new life-that life which, s short dine
ago, contemplated to end 7ith my own hand
Witha view to guard the unfortunate from.
falling Into the snares Of incompetent uuScks,
deem il my duty to offer tbistestiminy to.
the merits and skill of Dr.. Czapksy.

Temperance Convention.

The friends OF Temperance in Maine are
Wednesday, 25th instant.
We are told by those who have investigated
the matter, that there is disposition on the
part of the Legislature, so TO amend the liquor
law as to make it more effective, and more in
accordance with the design of its frames.
The necessity of meeting in convention is
thus set forth in the Temperance Journal, from
which we extract
1t is quite too late in the day to raise the
question of the necessity OF popular conven-
tons. By no other method known to man can
a moral or religious object he so thoroughly
promoted as in this way. 1t is. in truth, the
natural aud inevitable channel through which
public measures are ever advanced. This fact
is equally attested by human experience and
divine authority.
As individuals, in our separate capacity, we
may talk and act in reference to public mea-
sure as we will but our aims and ends will I've
mainly iruitless, unless We convene and con-
suit as body. In the word of God we are
enjoined not TO forsake assembling of our
selves together, as the manner Of some is )"
and this INTUITION. like all the precepts of the
Bible, has reference to the nature of the hui
man mind.
But why argue what is so distinctly appa-
rent? II, in view of the evils Of Intemperance,
which are wide spread. even in the State en-
joying the unequalled honor OF being the birth
place of the Prohibtory Law, and which are
constantly increasing through the subtle and
deceptive agency of Intoxicating drinks. In the
form of Ale and Beer, the friends of Temper
ance remain Indifferent, and neglect TO assem-
BILE for counsel, nothing that we can advance
in the way of argument or appeal will avail in
this direction.

referred to, and their friends at the East as
well as in the West, walked up spirit which

looked for the army to overturn the govern

The Tribune's dispatch says: Three days

expressed in Cabinet council that the time
for listening to the kind suggestions OF France
had not yet arrived. He was very sorry to
learn that exceptions had been taken to the

proposition without paying any attention to

A YANKEE HERorNE-Tessei recdptured
from Rebel Pirates by Maine Woman.-In-
telligence was published some time since of
the capture of the brig J. p. Ellcott of Bucks
port, Me-, A. Deyeraux master, by the rebel
pirate Retrbution, on the 10th of January,
and her subsequent recapture by the crew and
arrival at st. Thomas. 1t was not stated how
ever, that the recapture was planned by a
woman, which now appears to have been the
case. The particulars are thus stated in the
New York Commercial.
"The captain and mate of the J. p. Ellicott
were accompanied by their wives. The wife
of the mate was left on board the brig This
woman had cause to fear bad usage at the
hands of the prize master and his mate, and
managed TO get them Intoxicated, when she
proposed to the seamen, who were mostly, ii
not all, negroes from st. Thomas, 10 make
them prisoners. aud 10 capture the vessel. She
took iron handouts from her trunk, and, with
their assistance, put the rebels in irons, and
took possession of the vessel On the 18th of
January. She had studied navigation on the
voyage with her husband, and, having assumed
command, sailed for st. Thomas till she spoke
a French vessel, which gave her the right
course. She made Tortola, one of the Virgin
Islands. TO the windward OF St. Thomas when
she was piloted by negroes TO ST. Thomas,
where she arrived on the 18th ult., and placed

APPROPRIATE SERvIcEs.-Services appro-
pirate to the natal anniversary of the Father

yesterday. Sermons in whole or part were
devoted TO the memory Of Washington. At
the High street Church, Rev. DIR. Chickering
delivered a very appropriate discourse sug-
gested by the occasion. A company of the
7th Maine Regiment, accompanied by their
band, marched over from their encampment,
and attended this service. DIR. c, addressed
few pertinent remarks to them in the course
of his sermon. Rev. Mr.. Stebbins also made
appropriate illusions to the memories of the
day, and addressed detachment of the 18th
U. 5. Regulars who were present. Doubtless
the occasion was made the subject of remark
in the churches generally.

Letter from the State Capital.

AUGUSTA. Feb. q, 1868.
The proposals Tor the State loan of s525, 600
were opened yesterday by the Treasurer, and
afford gratifying proof that the credit Of the
State is unimpaired, Notwithstanding the
heavy draft upon it by the necessities of war.
Four millions two hundred fifty thousand dol
lars were offered, and the loan was taken up
at an average premium of IA 1-2 per cent.
In Smiths closing remarks yesterday, he
expatiates upon the advantages to accrue to
Maine from annexation To the British Prov
inces. Is this what the submissionists in this
State are driving at? l. this TO be the result
of all their efforts to embarrass the national
Government in every measure it adopts for
the suppression of this unholy rebellion? Is
this the true reason why they sympathize so
strongly with the South? In haste,
