RuBERY Turns UP.-RubeIy, one Of the
Chapman pirates, convicted at San Francisco,
has turned up again in England, as the plain
tiff in an action for libel against the proprie-
Tor of newspaper here, called the Birming-
ham Daily Post. As far as / understand the
facts, they are as follows: After Rubery had
been sentenced to fine and imprisonment
in your city, his relatives, who are residents
of Birmingham, requested of Mr.. John
Bright 20 endeavor TO inteEcede with Presi-
dent Lincoln for remission Of his sem
tence. Mr. Bright, who is one Of the men,
bers Of Parliament for that borough, con-
sented, and the result was that Rubery was
liberated. This marked compliment pleased
Mr.. BIS friends very much, and on the de-
PENDANT applying to Mr.. Surge for the facts
of the case, he sent a letter which he had
received from Mr.. Bright, and another COM
munication, besides. Upon the information
thus derived, the defendant, Mr.. Feeny,
published an article rejecting upon Rubery
saving that he ought to have been hanged
for helping to fl out the Chapman in San
Francisco, and representing that, having
been sent out TO the United States to collect
accounts for his brother ian umbrella manu-
facturer in Birmingham he had kept the
money and wandered off to Calf. rnia. On
Rubery's relatives complaining about the i'm
putation on his honesty, the defendant pub
iished an explanation, but they were not sat-
is6ed and brought an action for libel, and a
verdict was taken, by consent Of Plaintiff, for
forty shillings.

RByENus.-The receipts at the office of
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, from
the LIST to the 10Th July, are nine million
eight hundred and thirty thousand dollars,
being several thousand more than was esti-
mated BY the Commissioner at the beginning
of the month. It viii be remembered that
the new Revenue Act, in its sections rela-
ting to incomes, did not go into effect at the
end of July. After that time all disbursing
officers were to retain fye per cent, instead
of three on salaries above six hundred dollars.

GRANT BEFORE PETERsBrRe.-A cores
pendent Of tho Tribune writes from General
Buffers headquarters under date Of July 4th:
With the destruction Of all the roads leading
into Richmond begins the practical circum-
vailation--siege-Of the city. And better to
take il months hence, and then and there de-
stroy the Confederacy, than TO celebrate to-
day within it, and have Lees army unbroken
and defiant, posted only little south Of it.
The fortunate few in the army who obtain
glimpses of Northern papers are astonished
at the nervousness Of people-of the fuctua
tons in the price OF that said-to-be barome-
ter Of public confidence, gold Either there
was no adequate comprehension Of the mag
nitude OF Grants undertaking, or there is
misconception as to the means he is pursus
ing and the amount he has already accom-
plished. This much at all events is certain !:
If be has not kept pace with their great ex-
pectations, he has with his own more moder-

REDUCTION OF THE CURRENcY.-We
learn from source entitled TO entire CONF
dence that the reduction of the national cur
rsncy is not wholly permanent. 1t has been
the policy OF the Secretary Of the Treasury
to keep nothing back from the people, but to
allow entire publicity to be given 20 all fnan-
eial transactions, and he does not desire credit
for reduction larger than circumstances en-
able him TO accomplish. So long as the de.
posts on account of temporary loan continue
10 increase the circulation will be reduced by
a nearly equal amount, and when these de-
posts, now S74,3lS, 2l5 20, shah reach $780,
BOO. 900, the reduction, already 81, 727, 900,
will reach $50, 000, 900, leaving the greenback
circulation at exactly Sl0O, 000, 900. The to-
tai amount of interest bearing legal tenders
issued, is S2il 900, 600, Of which have been
withdrawn S4S, 90S, $50, leaving Sl62, 09l $50.
But in substitution for a part of these, IN
terest notes withdrawn, the department is
sues six per cent. compound interest notes,
so that the reduction is not so great as APP
pears. II is the wish Of the Secretary to re-
duee the aggregate circulation by ten millions
a month, which he viii be able TO accomplish
dmilitary success maintains the public cred
il, and a sufficient amount OF revenue is sup
piled by taxation to enable him TO meet by
loans the expenditures not provided for 10

MORE ADVICE TO THE LEGISLATURE
The present General Assembly will
fail Q do its duty if it shall suffer itself
to adjourn without passing a law which
will protect the Africans of the State
from intermarriagc or amalgama.ion
wit b the Butternuts. The blood Of the
Negroes, under the influence Of oppres-
sion lasting through centuries, has
greatly degenerated. It is not dc
sirable that it be vitiated to any greater
extent by cross with the Butternuts.
Negroes, d spite their social de
generacy, are loyal. Corperheads, de.
spite the privileges which free Go.
vernment has conferred on them, are
disloya'. Negroes, to the extent of
their advantages, are honest and IN
dustrious people. Copperhca Is. in de-
fiance Of their advantages, cultivate
demagogery as science, and general
rascalty as a profession
We recollect very distinctly that in
the first political campaign in this State
after the adoption Of tho present Con.
s,i;ution, j, was predicted by Ben. NJ
Samuels, candidate for Governor, tina,
in less than two years from S ptember,
1857, the negroes would oyerrun the
State, and the grossest amalgamation
would follow. The fair damsels Of Iowa
who happened to have pr" slavery re-
la,ives, were taught to believe that they
were in eminent danger Of intermar-
rying with lie despite race. Rcpubli.
cans were not fea 'ful that they would
be tempted in any contingency to as.
sist in bleaching on: the Africans. The
fear was exclusively confined to another
party whose members were politically
related to a set Of fellows who have the
honor to be the fathers of the entire race
of mulattoes in this country. The party
which elected Richard NJ. Johnson to
the Vice Presidency, has done mp
amalgamation on scale OF immensely
which has never been approached by
any other political organization. If
such things were done llrthc best days
OF the party, what legislation in this
day will be too stringent to protect the
Africans Of Iowa from becoming Rich.

Statistics Of Life and Death
FIGURES DO NOT LIE

We have faith in statistics, They
give the death.Llow 10 all false doctrine
aid empiricism in science, and blow
sky high the fine spun theories Of IN.
practical men. Medical statistics are
OF special Importance. They teach us
to estima'xpa their just valne the cura-
tive po,cers Of tho drugs, which are the
stereotypes OF The profession" And
wha, Is their value /? Figures, which
do not lie. show that in all dangerous
complaints the ",egular practice Of
the faculty" loses at least as many as it
saves. But, then, the doctors tell us
that those who die are ''incurables" II
this be so, how is it that SO many victims
OF the most virnlent internal and cx,er.
nal disorders, whom the profession had
given up, have recovered through
persevering nse Of IIolloway's Pills and
Holloway's Ointment There can be
no douot about the fact, we opine, and
we want somebody to account for it.
To our plan mind, it appears, that ii
chronic dyspepsia cannot be cured by
the doctors, and is cured with unerring
certainty by nolloway's Pills, that the
latter remedy is worth the whole medi-
cinal stock Of the faculty, rs means Of
relieving that compIain,. So again, if
sgiven up" ease of scrofula or cry
sipeles becomes rapidly ronvalescent
under the action OF the Ointment, we
cannot escape the conclusion that it is
the true specific for external disorders.
and that the irregular pharmacopGia"
contains nothing th.t will compare with
il as means Of subduing that class Of
maladies.
This is good logic, we believe. II
any cavil at il, we will admit their de.
murrers when they can show us bet.
