TO THOSE WHO DO TUINK


We say that Radloay's Ready Relief is the
most elegant and powerful medicine known in
the world. This is not boasting try it if you
feel sceptical and be convinced. 1t combnes in
its composition the properties of diffusive
stimulant, an Anti-septic, mild but effective
Astringent, and direct power over the nerves,
neither narcotic nor anodine, that relieves pain
in manner peculiar to itself, and for which we
have no word in the English language exactly
to express its action The French call it Soui-
agement So much for its internal adminstra-
ton. When applied externally, it will be found
a powerful counter-irritant, instantly reddening
the surface to which il is applied, and withdraw
ing the blood from some ncighboring part,
where it may be congested or hcaped up, causing
pain and leading to inflammation. 1t fulflls
the indication Of equalizing the circulation most
effectively and most beautifully to minds that
can understand its action.

From tile New York Price Current,


The great naval engagement in Charles
ton Rarbor, the untavorabse aspect OF.
affairs in North Carolina, and the military
status on tue Mississippi, have engrossed
the public attention. during the past few
days, to the exclnsionsof nearly all other
subjects, and business matters have occu-
pied but small share of attention. In
financial and commercial circles alike, the
repulse of the iron-boats by the forts in
Charleston Harbor, was the occasion of
much disappointment and regret, and the
more so, as such an event was not anticI-
pated by the multitude. In view OF this
fact, it is somewhat surprising that there,
appears to be no abatement of the public
confidence. tits true the Gold speculs-
tors have succeeded in forcing the pre-
MUM considerably higher than it was be-
fore the disaster was made known, yet
there has already been marked decline
from the extreme point, and the gem
eral tendency is TO still lower rates,
as the premium is kept up only by
the utmost exertions of the specn ;
lators. The answering support of the bu-
siness men and of the capitalists of the
country, is a sufficient guarantee that the
Government will be enabled, eventually, to
overthrow the rebellion, for the resources
of these are the resources of the Govern
ment, and the comparative equanimity with
which the news of the defeat sustained by
the Monitors at Charleston had been re-
ceived, affords striking illustration of the
public faith in the stability of the Govern
ment, albeit we may yet be called upon to
face disasters and disappointments in COM
parison with which the Charleston affair
will sink into insignifcance. With almost
every succeeding disaster there is eviuced d
more earnest determination to stand BY the
rightfuly constituted authorities in their
efforts to maintain the supremacy df the
Government, and this disposition is ex-
tending to all conditions and classes. The
Government Securities have been as ac-
tive during the past few days as previous
IL, aud prices are for the most part fully
maintained.
General trade continues very dull, and
| the volume of business is small There is
little or no speculation, and the daily trans
actions are for the most part confined to
the current wants of the trade aud for con-
sumption. Tho dullness extends to nearly
every branch of both Foreign and Domestic
merchandise. The fluctuations of Gold
have not induced any more trade, though
values of some commodities have been
more or less unsettled. AT the regular

A Southern MOBILITY Proposed.

-.A coEEssPon the ISodis4if2e .l0stFz
nal, who has reeently returned from Parip,
where he has spent most of the time since
the outbreak of the rebellion, writes from
New York, that he recently received from
friend 10 the French capital who is init
mately connected with the court, the fol-
lowing information:
"On the 21st day of January last, a letter
was received at the court of France, dated
Richmond, Va, November I'd, 1852, and
signed by seyenty-three of tue leading
men of the Southern COntederacy, iLclud-
ing JET. Davis, Cabinet and many senators,
but las we both remarked, with some sur
Prise,) by only two generals of their army,
viz: Toombs and Wise, urging upon Ma
poleon speedy recognition of the South
ern Confederacy. and as an inducement
offered the following reasons:
list. That it was the intention of the
leaders of the South, (Which intention,
however, was to be kept secret until the
war was OVer,) SO soon as their indepen-
deuce was declared. to establish nobility
in the South, before their army was dis.
banded That the poor whites. or non.
slave owners, who would help them fight
"nd conquer their independence, go soon
as nobility is established and thew are
left free to act, will emigrate North and
leave only the noble and his slave, consti
tuting the frmest nobility, because the
peasant will be the property of the noble,
while the line ofdemarcation between them
win be that of color and race. That their
ability so to establish nobility cannot be
doubtful when it is well known that the
leaders of the South had forced this war
and established the present Confederacy
in opposition to majority of every State.
"2d. That it is the duty of France, as Of
other monarchies, to encourage nobility
and to discourage democracy.
"3l. That in accordance with the above
intention, they 1.-THE seVenty-three,) design
ed to secure, Tor had secured, forgot
which, a remodeling of their conscript
law, SO as to exempt and preserve for their
future Confederacy, as many slave owners
or future mobiles as possible"
The statement made in the last para
graph Of the above is literally true, and it
constitutes one of the chief grounds of the
growing popular hostility to the chiefs OF
the rebellion

what tho Rebel Ohlofs are After.


The purpose of the chiefs of the slave
holders rebellion to oblitcrato every prin.
ciple of democracy, and erect government
wholly absolutist in its nature, in which
all power shall be lodged in the few, finds
new combinations with every passing day.
The most Insignificant of the recent indi-
cations of this kind is the introduction in
the Confederate Congress" and the gen.
eral approval by the rebel press, of bill
looking to the repeal of the naturalization
laws aud the exclusion from the privileges
of citizenship of all persons who were not
in the "Confederacy" at the time its pre-
tended government was organized.
The Richmond Meas, commenting upon
this measure, says:
"The bill meets with very general appro.
V0t, aud will, we trust, soon become a law
Ethnologists have decided that the admix
tore nf an inferior with superior race of
the human species degrades the latter to the
level of the former; and it is very certain,
that unless we restrain immigration by the
most stringent laws, we shall, in "a yery
few years after peace is declared, be over
run by Yankees and other foreigners, and
that the next generation of southerners
will be the vilest mOugrels, &c."
There is no installing the nearing of
this paragraph. 1t declares, almost in so
many words, that the desire of the rebel
leaders is to keep all power in their own
hands, and to erect aud perpetuate through
their descendants, Goyernmeut founded
upon denial of popular rights, aud the
restriction, substantially to themselves
and their children, of the franchises which
constitute the glory of American citizen
ship Aud yet there are men here at the
North who> wish the conspiracy against
human rights to succeed, and even sue for
help in its behalf at the feet of the repre-
sentative of British aristocracy That such
a combination for such work is appto-
pirate is only true, but that dimiuisbes
