TO THOSE WHO DON'T THINK

We say that, RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is
the most elegant and powerful medicine known in
the world. This is not Boosting; try it, if you
feel sceptical and be convinced. ftcombines in its
composition the properties of difusve stimulant,
an anti-septc, mild but effective astringent, and
a direct power over the nerves, neither narcotic
nor anodine, that relieves pain, in manner pecu-
liar to ITSELF and for which we have word in the
English language exactly to express its action.
The French call it SOuLGgenent. So much for its
internal administration. When applied external
Nv, it will be found most powerful counter-irri-

culation most effectively, and most beautifully to
minds that can understand its action

The Culture of Tobacco.

The following are some interesting
and apparent, practical Instructions,
condensed from the Miehigan F',rmer,
as communicated by a cultlvator at Ia,
weed: He states that the latter eud al
April or early IN May is the time for
sowing the seed in the Northern and
most of the Western States. Connecti
cut tobacco seed is best for Northern
cultivation, and the sixteenth of AN acre
supply the personal wants of any farmer
who INDUCES In its use. The soil
should be put into good tilth-plowed
deep and rendered quiet moilow A
light sandy soil OF oam, well Supplied
with rolled stable manure, raises the
finest tobacco. A strong favored to-
bacco Is raised from what j. called ga
rich strong sod" A quantity Of wood
ashes mixed with the soil kills insects
aud promotes the growth of the plants.
First of all, seed bed is made and
the seed for sowing is mixed with ten
times its weight of fine earth aud some
wood ashes. The seed is sprinkled
evenly over the bed aud it L. not raked
in, but simply beaten down gently with
spade. This seed bed should be i'm
a sheltered position, and when half
inch in length, should be looked after
every day.
When the plant begins to head it
should be Immediately cut back, so as
. to leave from six to ten leaves suckers
then begin to spring out at the junction
OF the leaf and stalk, these should be-
nipped off (some, however,, let them
grow until six inches loug, then pick
and dry them, thinking them more
choice for various purposes than the
larger leaves), as ii allowed TO exist
they will take much from the full de-
velopment OF the main leaves.
Planting is done in May, hoeing and

September cutting and housing III o.

ground. When tobacco is ready to cut
up, it must be attended To, or it will
spoil especially if frost is expected
there should be no time lost.
Tobacco of commerce is generaii,
divided into three qualities. The lower
leaves or those which touch the ground,
are liable to get dirty and torn; but OH
the higher parts of the same stalk two
different sorts of leaves are generally
found, one yellowish and one brown.
These should be CAREFUL, separated and
put up in punches somewhat thicker
than a mans thumb and tied round
with a thong made of the lea, itself.
The bnnches should be slung IN pans
across poles and put in the drying
house. Too much heat will spoi the
whole crop. More depends upon prop
err drying than any other part Ia deter
mine its market value. The heat OF
the drying house should he moderate.
and the drying should be slowly con
Quoted. The very finest qualities of
leaf tobacco will be destroyed If they
are Subjected To a high heat in the dry
ing room.

TO THOSE WHO THINK.

Now, we hold that, all external remedies act Ell
Their in one of two ways or combine the action of
both. FIRsT-They act directly upon the nervous
system without touching the blood vessels = the
sanquiferous system. All Arnica liniments, nerve
iniments, &C., &C., belong to this class, and con-
sequently only 6enUm6 the ends of the nerves, with
out affecting at all the circulation,-may tempo
rarily stop pain-but have not the slightest effect
in restoring the equilibrium of circulation,
tial to healthy action. Or, SEcoNDLY-They act
upon the blood vessels without, as in the case of
depletives (Leeches Cups regard to the nervous
system. Now, the fact is-that, the nerves pre-
side over the blood vessels, and external appli-
cation to be effective, must act upon both nerves
and blood vessels

RAILWAYS READY RELIEF,

We proclaim, has this double action of assuaging
pain, by its specific effect upon the nerves and
blood vessels. In this way it relieves and cures
Rheumatism, Lumbago, Toothache, Headache, and
variety of such like complaints. When taken in
ternally, its astringent and diffusive stimulating
properties check in the most natural manner Di-
arrhoeas, Coles, and other bowel complaints.
Whilst for Sore Threats, accompanied by putres
ency, and for Fever patients, with Typhoid symp
toms, eminent physician attached to the New
Orleans Hospital has pronounced it far superior
anti-septic and antjparescent to the celebrated
Eau Nedieinale of Raspail. He administers it in
ternally to his patients, and sprinkes his wards
with it.

its virtues. RADWAY CO,

THE FOREST PILLS neither grippe nor weaken

deleterious drugs or minerals but are extracts of
plants which are wholesome as the food we eat.
A CURE Is CERTAIN, and they cure without
weakening the system affecting the bowels but
slightly, except in full doses, when they purge
thoroughly, but without gripping palms. or producing
weakness.
1T Is FOLLY to use gripping, drastic purgatives;
such drugs weaken and destroy the tone of the
stomach and bowels. Never weaken the system.

have they to throw off disease when assistedby a

False statement.

New YORK, Oct. 28.-The Herald's des
patch statement in regard to the arrest OF
Messrs. Williamson and Bloss, agents OF
the Pennsylvania and Michigan Rag Asso
citation for the sale Of old bandages, rags, &C.,
is incorrect, so far as the property is said to
have been the old government property
1t was the property of the Associations and
sold by Williamson and Bless by order OF
the Chairman of the Executive Committee
of Assc ciations, and the proceeds deposited
to their credit. The treatment of Mr.. Will
hanson by Col. Baker, was most arbitrary
and unjust. He was refused permission to
send for Judge Brady, Chairman of the AS,
ISOLATION and other parties who could
prove his Innocence. After several hours
delay a note from Mr.. Williamson was de-
livered to Judge Brady, who Immediately
obtained an interview with Judge Turner,
Assistant Judge Advocate General. Upon
his representations of facts Mr.. W. was re-
leased on parole.
At meeting of the Association this even
ing a committee was appointed to make a
statement of the case to the proper authori'
ties with the representation of the outrage
GUS treatment of the accused by Col. Baker,
and demand for his full and unconditional
release from arrest, and the removal OF
Baker from his position as Provost Marshal
of the War Department. The meeting was
attended by Judge Usher, Sec'y of Interior
Hon. j. j. Lewis, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue and other gentlemen of position

New YORK, Oct IA despatch to thu
Times, from the armyof the Potomac, says
The enemy still continues demon'tratNyt
in our front.
Yesterday as the 9th and 9th New York
cavalry were going out near Bealton Sta
ton, to relieve the 4th New York, Penn
sylvania regiment on picket there were
opened upon by the rebels with artillery
A brisk skirmish ensued, lasting several
hours, our forces falling back to within one
mile of Georgetown, upon our infantry
line. The enemy showed nothing but in
fantry.
There were few casualties on either side.
Guerrillas and bushwhackers are exceed
ingly bold, and their operations extend in
every direction; every day they make some
demonstration on our line of communities
ton and it is unsafe for our men to venture
out of sight of camp.
Sunday evening a gang of bushwhackers
dashed upon one of our trains between
Warrenton and New Baltimore, and cap
tured an ambulance and wagon belonging
to the Provost MarshalPs Department.
From other sources we learn that smoke
from the enemy's camp fires can be seen
beyond the Rappahannock, indicating that
they are there in force, prepared to dispute
the passage of the river for the construction
of a railroad bridge. A body Of their in,
fantry was discovered this side of the river
at Sulphur Springs. Their cavalry pickets
are thrown out this side Of the Rappahan
mock and in sight OF oar advance pickets.
The work on the railroad is being prose
cuted vigorously the advance of the army
being dependent on its completion.

Election of Delegates to the National

| Mass, has elected Gen. B. F. Butler. o.
Lowell, and Mr.. Clahin, of Newton, dele
gates at large to the National Union League
which meets at Washington in December
Delegates from each Congressional district
were also chosen. Gen. Butler addressed
the meeting at length, taking ground with
those who believe that the seeded States
have annihilated themselves as States while
the power of the General Government still
remains intact over their territory. He
opposed the position Of member Of the
Cabinet that the rebel Commonwealths by
throwing down their arms should be re.
ceived into the Union with unimpaired
rights, with their old local Institutions
His reasons for debating terms before al
lowing the incorporation into the Union OF
these heretofore hostile sections sprang
from considerations virtually affecting the
interests and safety of the nation, If the
Confederate States are readmitted and their
representatives take their seats in Congress
before some radical change is effected, what
guarantee is there that the Federal ma
tional debt will not be repudiated or
made to stand upon the alternative. The
Confederate debt must likewise be paid,
and let this question come before Congress
and all the appliance Of corruption would
be set in motion to secure such position
as would place the federal and rebel indebt-
edness upon the same footing. Gen. But
Ter contended that the rebel States must be
regarded as destroyed or it would be almost
impossible to choose another President, for
the reason that no candidate likely to be
selected would receive support in the
North as would give him majority OF the
whole electoral college, consisting of all
the States both loyal and rebel and transfer
the question to the House OF representa-
lives where each commonwealth casts only
one vote and majority of such votes is
required, and the difficulty will be greatly
the policy of safety and justice
was to restore unity in the South only as
fast as the principles of freedom and loyalty
extended over the now rebel domain
