DR.. Rdd,ody's Cleansing Syrup, called Rad
tody's RenoUdting RosoLUent, az a Moral Gu
ratiUe.
Vice, immortality and wickedness is the pa
rent of many ills, and as the world advances in
civilization, these heir looms will multiply. II
is not wisdom, that with each successive genor-
alton begcts weakness and entails upon the child
the infirmities, disease, and corruption of blood
of the parent. The physician can no moro stop
the propagation of vice and the issue it entails
than he can prevent the visitation of yellow fe-
yer, small pox, cholera, or the wind from blow
ing-or the presence of malaria; to accomplish
this task he must revolutionize the established
laws Of nature. Science has no such preten-
sions, all that medicines can do-Dr. Radway's
Renovating Resolvent will do; in curing and
exterminating from the system, all constitution
al infrmites and inherited diseases. This med
icne will positively cure syphilis in its worst
form, nodes, swelling in the groin, glandular
swellings, tumors, ulcers, fever sores, skin
eruptions, scrofula, sores in the mouth, cars,
nose-all discharges ,pimples, botches,
pustules, letters, &c. Let none be discouraged
if afflicted with any kind of skin disease, or if
you inherit any constitutional malady or infrm-
ity. DIR. Railways Renovating Resovent will
cure you. In giving this medicine to the world,
that will cure the sick, we sro fulfilling sacred
duty. If immortality can't be prevented, we can
at all events cure tho miseres it entails-this,
neither philosophy or moral suasion will accom-
plish. Price one dollar per bottle, or six bottles
for five dollars.

FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-Having learned
that in some cases, persons with whom
We have no connection whatever, have
been travelling through the country repre-
senting themselves as our agents, or as
selling scales made from Fairbanks pat
terms, DC, we deem it proper to say that
the genuine Fairbanks scales are made
only at Saint Johnsbury, Vermont, where
they have been made for thirty-three
years or more, by E. & It. Fairbanks d
Co., the original inventors, and that 9TH
ers represented as such are only limitations.
If the agents for such other scales have
confidence in their merits, they would
have no occasion to resort TO such means
to sell them, or avail themselvs of repu-
tation which the Messrs. Fairbanks have
honestly earned. All orr travelling agents
will be furnished by us with certificates
of agency, which they will be happy to
show to purchasers with@hom they may
not be personally acquainted.

FEDERAL OUTRAGEs.-Let it be
promised that in Nashville the Feder-
al government has employed a lot Of
detectives, whose system of espionage
equals that in France during tho
most terrific and bloody days Of the
revolution of 1859. It is the duty of
these men to watch suspected citizens
both male and female, at all hours of
the day and night, and IN every place,
not even excepting their bed cham
bers.
Very recently one of these scoun-
drelly detectives was given number
of pistols and charged to convey
them to the house of some secession
sympati,izers, with what purport aud
object may be well~ imagined. He
discovered that Mrs. Samuel, wild
owed lady with only two daughters,
who made her living by sewing, was
obnoxious as friend of the South.
Accordingly one of these miserable
men, knownas detective police Of the
Washington government, visited her
with basket Of nnmade clothing,
beneath which was a lot Of pistols, he
represented at the same time that he
(being Soutllerner) only wanted
to conceal them for short
time. The good woman, anxious to
serve the holy cause in which were
embarked all her hopes, readily &C.
cepted the fire arms.
That night Il guard Of Abolition
soldiers visited and searched her
premises, and, Of course. found the
pistols. They had only laid decoy
duck for her detection.
OF course Mrs. Samuel was arrest
ed, and. with only the clothes upon
her, hurried off to Louisville and the
North. \ friend and neighbor who
attempted to furnish her with cloth
ing and food was repulscd by The
guard with the remark "We'll have
you in Camp Chase next"
