CAIRIouI IMAsEs.-Me have had the pleasure
of examining quantity of gold received by Dr.
J. c. AVER Co., from Honuuras, in payment for
their medicines, which are extensively sold thro'-
OUT Central America. Among massive crosses,
bracelets and chains, tho rude images whch
have been taken from the graves of the Chiriqui
cniefs-birds, turtles serpents, bugs and reptiles
done in solid gold. They carry u. back beyond
historic times, to periods and places where bar
bsrsm reigned supreme. They seem to come here
now in mute appeal from tho winding sheets Of
tneir ancestors, to ask tor the simple Indians in
the mountains, medical protection from cultivated
skill, against diseases which gathers them up into
TOO sa,ly graves. Ignorant aud unlsttered us they
are they nave learned OF the wnite man enough
to know where to apply for relief, and what will
bring it. Oar we'll kn.wn townsmen, above nam
ed, inform that thsy require their renittanees
from foreign countries new to be made in silver
and gold.-[ LoptH, Mass, Seatmei.

UWe did not believe in "cure-alls"
until we tried Ayers inimitable Pills,
and now we think the whole secret lies in
the fact, that purgatives are the natural
remedy, for diseases, and DR.. Aver has
made the best OF purgatives. They cure
all our complaints.-I.onan 70 Pr'se

and perhaps three times as many shots as
the K. The first named vessel opened
before the latter, she fired more rapidly
and used seven of her guns against five
used by the Union ship. The AS flag
was shot away several times aud her
mainnast toppIed overheard as she was
sinking. 1t was cut about twelve feet
below the eyes Of the rigging.
Owing to the fact that both vessels
fought with their starboard battery un-
der full head OF steam, and most of the
time were propelled at the rate Of eight
miles an hour, it will be evident to the
comprehension of all that both vessels
must have moved in circle, and the bows
of one pointed in the opposite direction
to the ether, while the battery Of each
was brought to bear on her opponent
This was the case for the greater portion
OF the time, but the line between them
did not form the extreme diameter Of the
circle, as the X rather followed the A.
in the circuit made.
Consequently the shots generally
struck Oh the starboard side, as will be
seen i1om the following list of shot marks
upon the K.which were carefully noted im-
mediately after the fight. One shot under
stalb5arl quarter taking a slsnting
direction aft and lodging in the rudder
post-Blakely shell. One carried away
starboard life buoy. Three 32's through
port bulwarks forward mizz cnmast. A
she'll after end pivot port. A shell ex.
ploding after end chain plating. A sixty
eight FOUNDER through starboard bulwarks
wounding three men. a Blakely shell
through engine room sky-lisht. Two shots
below plank sheer abreast boiler hatch
One forward pivot port plank sheer.
One forward foremast rigging. One
striking launch's topping lift. A Blake
ly she'll through smoke stack. One
starboard main shroud. One starboard
after shroud main topmast rigging. One
main top-sai tye. One main-top.sail
outhaul. One main-to-sail runner Two
through port quarter boat. One through
spanker (furled.) Ono starboard for
ward shroud mizzen rigging.
One starboarj mizzen topmast back
stay. One through mizzen peak-si gnal
haIyards. The battle flag hoisted to the
masthead lad never been unturled.-
Although the Ksarsarge cut away the
rebel standard several times, the stars
and stripes had not been touched. The
last named shot made when victory rest
ed upon the Union flag, cut the stops
which kept it fured, and set it free in
triumph to the breeze. Such are the
main facts and incidents Of the battle Of
the 10Th of June, which will take its
place in history as the first regular naval
battle between evenly matched steamers
armed with all the modern appliances of
war 1t is to be hoped that its result
may prove forerunner of the result of
the contest between Slavery and Free
dom upon the land. "Aide-toi ct Dieu
'aidera-but there is much truth in
the remark that God is on the side of the
heaviest battallons. At the some time
it is to be remembered that the eternal
years of God are Truths. Let US join
truth to the heaviest battallions. S.

Hitting the Nall OH thp Head.

An abolltlonist writing from the East to
Vallandigham Democrat in Ohio. closed
his letter by asking the question: How
do you ID copperheais feel about now?"
The reply is admirable, and hits the nail
square on the head:
I'VE id Copperheals, though le-
lea.ed by the most gigantic frauds ever
practiced upon any people, have pollel for
Nallandigham some fourteen thousand
more votes than We polied for u State
ticket last fall, when We carried the State.
and the largest ever polled Cor any Demo-
cratic Governor in this State, feel that we
have done our ouky that's how we ieel
about now" We DID Copperheads'
feel that such a thing as a peace on the
basis Of the Union rs it was, can never be,
except with the free will and consent OF
the people Of the South; that the only hope
wc have is in the Southern heart; that
though You may whip a spaniel dog and
so make him fear and love you, the treat
ment will fail when you come to apply tito
a brave and h~igh-minded people. We
I'D Copperheads' feel that To amount
of whipping could make us love or consent
to Union with any people with whom We
would not unite OF our own free Will, and
that we would not have the meanness to
ask Of the Southern people what we would
not grant to them if our situations were
reversed. We id Copperheads' feel
hat the party. the people, the men who
can see how an honorable peace on the
basis of the Union can lie made, ttot Latoa
Jorced asie pint cffeb'y net ON an I'M
willing people, would themselves, flower
powered, have the s~ervility to lick the
hand which had cursed them, and slave
like bow their necks to any yoke which
their masters might see fit to put upon
them. And finally We id Copper
heads feel that Shakespeare was right when
ne said that there was nothing in a name,
i rose you'd smell as sweet by any other
name, &c, that political parties, like men,
will be Judged by their acts and not by
heir names, and that this miserable at
tempt to put down a great party ~ chgTs
Phy is unworthy of notice; for the party
which has mad, every nickname which
has been given to il, a name to be honor
ed and respected, will finally triumph, call
t Loco Foco, Coppcrheed, Bu,ternut, or
what you will"

Years ago had a colored man presen-
ted himself at the White House, at the
Presidents l~evce, seeking an introduction
to the Chief Magistrate Of the nation, he
would have been, in all probability, rough
ly handled for his impudence. Yesterday,
four %colored men, of genteel exterior and
with the manners Of gentlemen, joined in
the throng that crowded the extensive man
sion. and were presented to the President
of the United States"
