The Senate of the United States has
certainly not accorded its official sanction
70 the precise measures proposed by the
President, to lend our aid to the sctusl
Mexican Government in order that the
latter might, with the appreciation Of the
Allies, extrioate itself from the present
embarassments; but this is strictly ques-
ton of internal administration. There
could be no greater error than to see in
the disagreement a divergence Of opinion
IN our Government, or in the American
people, IN regard to their cordial wishes
for the safety, welfare and stability of the
Republican Government in that country.

wIsrAR,s BALsAM OF WILD cuERR,

WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY
Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, asthma. Group, Whoop-
ing Cough, Qainsy, and the numerous well as
dangerous diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs,
prevail in chaugeable climate at all seasons Of
the year: few fortunate enough to escape their
baneful influence. How important then to have at
hand certain antidote to all these complaints Ex-
perence proves that this exists in Uistar's Baisam
to an extent not found in any other remedy; howev-
the suffering the application of this sooih-
ing, healing and wonderful Balsam at once van
qushes the disease and restores the sufferer to won't
ed health.
GEORGE W. MILLETT, Esq,

ion of this great remedy substantially as follows:

Messrs. $. w. FowLE & Co. Boston
Gentlemen For remedy of such undoubted
merit as DR. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY
i cheerfully give you my testimony, and trust that
Others may be induced thereby to give il trial and
be relieved. Several years since first became ac-
quainted with this Basam at a time of distressing
cough aud cold, which took such firm hold OF my
lungs to render unfit for business, and its OPP
GRAFTON produced speedy and permanent cure, after
trying various remedies to avail.
In our town this remedy is a great favorite with
many, and if all who suffer will give ii fair trial,
think they will find II to be of service in pull
monary affections than any other remedy of this
class before the public

Interesting from Suffolk.

New YORK. April Is.
The Herald's correspondent at Suffolk, Va,
says that on the 18th, at daylight, we abandon
ed the South Quay road, and tore up what is
termed the Nansenond Bridge, small one at
the mill in front of our Qualifications, directly
facing the Blackwater, and prepared more eff
fectually TO meet the attack. At this time we
could hear the enemy's reveille and bugle calls
quite plain. Everything now is in full readi-
ness for the attack. Torpedoes are under all
the bridges not destroyed. Two houses are
being pulled down as they interfere with the
range of our guns. Intelligence has been re-
ceived of the capture of corporal and four
pickets five miles from here. Two pckets
were also captured at Hog Island, and our cav
airy on the Summerton road were also captur
ed. No attack was made up to noon, but the
enemy are still advancing.

rebel force is 10000.

Tho Attack on Charleston.

WASHINGTON, April 10.
Perley telegraphs to the Boston Journal,
that lit is the opinion here that the unofficial
accounts of the attack on Charleston, prompt
ed by the desire of correspondents TO coneili-
ate naval officers, have so magnitied the en-
gagement as Eot only to give false idea Of it
abroad and at home, but TO create the belief
that il will not he renewed. A cessation Of
operations with only two hours fighting, after
six months of preparation, would be, as a high

hungry man listen to long grace on sitting
down to a table, and then only giving him a
small plate of thin soap.

Col. Kimbal OF the Hawkins Zouaves:

was properly challenged by the guard. Instead
of giving the couniersign, Gen. Z. said: II

kimbal refused to let Gen. Corcoran pass

EVENING PAPERS.
Protest Against the Sailing of Privateers
from English Ports-Patriotic Offer of
Governor Curtin.

New YORK, April Is.
The Tribune's Washington dispatch says it
is understood that our government has sent
another note to Great Britain concerning the
sailing of privateers from English ports, pro-
testing in very strong terms against such BUSH
ness, and even limiting that the responsibility
for letting out any more piratical crafts ought
to be laid at the door of her Majesty's govern
ment.
The Herald dispatch says Gov. Curtin, of
Pennsylvania, in view of the urgency of the
public service, suggested to the President
plan OF garrsoning the defenses of Washing
ton with militia, so that the veterans now in
this department might be spared for more i'm
portant and pressing duties in tbs field. To
this end he offered to forward here 10000 mi
litia, and asked that about 5000 volunteers
who have had the necessary experience be dis
tributed among the militia, to render the latter
force equivalent for all practical purposes to
the same number of volunteers sent to the
field. 1t is not known whether this patriotic
offer will be accepted.
1t is said that skirmishing has been going on
at Fairfax Court House between Gen. Stalls
forces and the rebels since Sunday, without
much result.

From Charleston-1h he Iron-clad Fleet going
to the Mississippl.

NEW YORK, April 10.
A letter in the Baltimore American, dated off
Charleston bar, 10th inst says it is now I'M
derstood that the entire iron-clad fleet will be
sent to the Mississippi.
1t also says that the use of one of the Erics-
son torpedo RATS and shells would have swept
away 100 feet of the rebel Instructions and the
city been at our mercy; also that some of the
commanders of the iron-clads say that the
walls of Fort Sumter were crushed, and ex-
press the opinion that in three hours more they
would have been compelled to surrender
Several testified that their immense shot had
entered the embrasures OF the fort, and the
walls were in most shattered condition.
Others approved the decision of the Admiral.
