A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH IN MEDI-
CINE!- DR.. Maggiel is the founder Of a new Med
ical system! The quantitarians, whose vast in
ternal doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze
the bowels, must give precedence to the man who
restores health and appetite, with from one to
two OF his extraordinary Pills, and cures the most
virulent sores with a box or so of his wonderful
and all healing salvc. These two great specifics
of the Doctor are fast superceding all the stereo-
typed nostrums of the day. Extraordinary cures
by Maggiers Pills and salve have opened the
eyes Of the public to the inefficiency of the $50
called) uedes OF others, and upon which peo
pie have so long blindly depended. Maggiel's
Pills arc not of the class that are swallowed by
the dozen, and of which every box full taken
creates an absolute necessity for another
One Or two of Maggiel's Pills suffces to place
the bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
create m appetite, and render the spirits light
and buoyant There is no gripping. and no reac
tion in the form of constipation. If the liver is
affected it's functions restored; and il the ner-
vous system is feeble, it is invigorated This
last quality makes the medicines very desirable
for the wants of delicate females Ucerous and
eruptve diseases are literally extinguished by
the disenfectant power of Maggel's Save. In
f,ct IL ia here announced that MAGGIEI'S BILIOUS
DYsPFPTIc AND DIARRHEA PILLS cure where all

MEDICAL ADvICE-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty'
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming a sine
qua non to the welfare of our State and health
OF our citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputa.
ton, although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal of skill, and follows as the natural effect
of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease, and who had taken advantage Of
every available means that promised relief, but
without:success, until they called upon DR.. Do
herty, who in on Incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is q gen.
tleman who seeks. not byidefamation of Others,
to establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure OF his own upon the ruin OF another's
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
a manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. He examines, advises and recommends
without charge and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure. In no case Idoes the Doctor make a
charge unless he effects cure. This, he is allie
to do because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola'
ton which appertains to that confidence. Per
aons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do we'll to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm, as for consultation he asks no
fee; nor does be insist ON obedience 10 his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care

three shot wounds, in the head, left arm
and back, in which the balls still lodge !;
besides, he has several ugly bruises.
The following is his own account:
/" After the Rev. Mr.. Horton had
been shot while showing flag of truce
and profering surrender, Il made my
way out of the door to the landing at
the head of the stairs, where I. met a
young man in citizens dress, armed
with club whom ! asked if we could
not surrender. He replied, No, we in
tend to kill you all, and then he raised
his club to strike me. / rushed aside
to a policeman who stood near the stairs
and begged him to take me prisoner,
that my life might be saved. He made
no reply that | remember of, but push
ed me from the landing and forced me
to descend the stairs alone. At the bot
tom, l was encountered by two citizens
who attacked me with their fists, ]
broke from them, ran to policeman on
the pavement and begged him to pro
tect me. He knocked me down with
his revolver. /, rising much stunned
but conscious, ran toward another pc.
liceman whom / saw in the center Of
the street, calling on him to save me-
He replied by raising his revolver and
taking deliberate aim at me, but which
of my wounds he gave me cannot tel
as | fell to the ground for a moment
senseless. The next / remember l was
between two policemen, who took me
through, Common, Carondelet, and
Lafayette-sts, to prison. All along
Common and Cars(46elet-sts, respecta
bly, dressed, apparently business men
came out of the stores, and standing or
the pavement, cried Kill him! the d.

company displays strong faith in the
quality of California wines in making
such extensive purchases.
: The California wines are all new, so
that the test of age, the great one in
Europe, cannot be applied at present.
/ fear that twill lie difficult ever to APP
ply this test to any extent, for the rea-
son that the wine makers and wine deal
ears must " turn their money too often"
to make wine keeping profitable. Nom
ey can be loaned at ten to twelve and a
half per cent ; so that nobody can afford
to have his money locked up in wine
cellars waiting for the bottles to become
covered with cobwebs of five, ten or
twenty years. Very few Of the farmers
are able to keep their wines more than
a single year, as they must sell off their
product to raise funds for the following
season. Labor is not enormously ex-
| pensive, but it demands cash. Most OF
the work is performed by Chinese, and
in few vineyards the native Indians
are employed.
Part of the California. wines that
have seeu are Of a harsh, heady charac-
ter, and evidently need either time or a
more careful manipulation to mellow
them. Indeed l have tasted better Cal
ifornia wine in New York, and attrib-
ute the superiority to the long voyage
around Cape Horn. l have tasted some
very good sherry, made two years ago
in the southern part of the State, and
saw last week in the Sonoma valley
some still wine of last years vintage
that would compare favorably with
that from abroad. But these are excep
lions to the general rule that goes a
gainst California wine.
The Calitornians do not take kindly
to their own wine. Nine out of ter
prefer that of foreign manufacture, aud
there is very large importation di
rectly from France. The French mer
chants have recently brought immense
quantities to San Francisco, much more
than the market will justify, and arr
endeavoring to crowd the Caltformis
production out of existence. Prices
are already so low that it is thought
the shippers will be likely to suffer Sc
we're loss. The advocates of our nativ,
juice appear confident of establishing
their own wine in public favor, and on
ly ask a fair opportunity. I have ne
doubt that wine making in Californi,
will ultimately be a great and proftahl,
interest, and compete successfully will
foreign enterprise, but it must be pa
tient and persevering in orderto accom-
plish that result.

From Europe by steamer.

New YORK, Aug. 9th. The Steamship
Moravia, arrived with Liverpool dates to
the 9th.
The armistice between Prussia and Austria
expired that day, but would probably be
renewed. There was no intimation as yet of
its having been done.
The English government had announced
its intention of prolonging the suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus in Ireland.
The Times says that the Prussian armistice
did not come moment too soon to save the
Austrians from final catastrophe. The COM
batants are now resting, irrespective of their
positions, and there are well grounded hopes
that the truce will be prolonged into def
mite peace. On the 25th a suspension of
hostilities was agreed upon between the
Italians and Austrians
A notice had been published in Liverpool
on the 26th, that the English government
had agreed with Council of the reform league
to facilitate, in every way, their obtaining a

meetings in the park. Until the question is
decided, no further meetings will be held
except one on the afternoon of the S0th OF
July. This statement however is contradic.
ted in letter from Mr.. Walpole, who states
that no promise had been given to allow the
holding of meetings, but that the govern.
ment merely promised to withdraw the mill
tary and police, under the express stipula
ton that no attempt would be made, upor
the part of the opposition, to insist upor
holding the meetings until the question had
been legally decided. q

Whoever believes that te Southern mind
has been exercised of the demon which pre-
cipitated the country into fearful civil war
is sadly mistaken, and may one day be AVA
kened to n consciousness of the delusion.-
Henry A. Wise, in a recent lecture at Norfolk,
gave utterance to the following sentiment,
and We doubt not he met with warm APP
plause:
"These oaths are not necessary, and can
not accomplish any good result. They but
promote perjury, hypocrisy, and general de-
moralization; and as being the condition
precedent of even making an application for
a pardon, they are an absurdity and crime.
A man must swear not -,beiore he is pardon
ed, but before he can evl n ask to be pardon
ell. In the kingdom of gsace, who ever heard
of such monstrosityl And pardon! For
what to be pardoned? For himse! he could
ask no pardon, for the reason that he had com
mitted no offence forwhieh to be pardoned. The
asking for pardon admitted guilt, and for him
self he ,cas conscious q mo guilt He had o6eyed
those scho had the right to command II aoas
not for him to decide tehether there scas good
cause to tight. Virginia called him to the. field
of blood, and duty demanded that he should
obey that call"
We call the attention of Judge Underwood
to this reasonable utterance of WISE and it
may be hoped that he will be indicted and
tried along with Davis. The impudent trai.
tor should not be permitted to strut about
unwhipped of justice. If he were convicted
of treason, and under sentanee of death for
his crime, we willventure the prediction that
his pride would be humbled. and that he
would sue for pardon on his knees, if requir-
ed to do so. At any rate he should be put
to the proof Washington Chronicle.
