ALLCOCK,S POROUS PLAsTERs.

ALLCOCK,s POROUS PLAsTERs.
BEST STRENGTHENING PLASTER IN THE
WORLD.
ALLCOCK'S Porus Plasters resolve and assauge
pain by calling forth acrd humors from parts in
ternal to the skin and general circulation-thus,
n many cases, positively evaporating the disease.
JAMES LULL, NJ. D.
There is nothing equal, in the way OF a plaster,
to the Porus Plaster of Mr.. ALLCOCK. Every
thing is pleasant about them. They are the plas-
ter OF the day, and fit type of our present ad-
vancement in science and art. In Asthma, Cough,
Kidney Affections, Gout, Rheumatism, and local
deep-seated pains, they afford permanent relief.
J.F. JOHNSON, MD, ON 'sTopical Remedies
From personal knowledge of these plasters,
can state that they are decidedly preferable to
any other IN use Wherever relief is to be OBJ
tanned by the use of plaster, we should recon-
mend them A. INGRAHAM, NJ. D.,

SwINDLED.-Certain radicals have been
very busy for many days past, in this and
other towns, in the county, begging money
from democrats and conservatives, to pay the
expenses OF their Logan meeting. under the
pretenoe that it was to be only reception
and encampment for the soldiers, and not q
political meeting, at all. There was no en-
campment whatever, and nothing but radi-
cal political disunion meeting-and fzzle
at that. The money begged from democrats
and conservatives was, therefore. obtained
under falss pretenses, and the radicals should
refund it, or those who obtained il should be
indicted for winding

said; "How did you stand, General, at that

rang through the crowd, ''pnt that man out

We clip the following sensible article
from the Charleston Courier which we
commend to the careful attention of our
business men who desire to build up their
business aud thereby speedily regain what
they have lost. Bring your business prom
inently before the people and let them
know what you are doing and what you are
willing to do and, our word for it, you will
soon find that your exertions are daily ap-
preciated and that your business will in
crease in exact proportion to the amount
of information you give in regard to the
efforts you are making to accommodate your
patrons.
cit will not be forgotten to what extent
the curious we're exercised by the apparition,
some months ago, on every street corner of
our city, and in almost every newspaper OF
the United States, of the cabalistic sign s.
T.-1S60-X., and how long time elaps-
ed before it was discovered that it had no
other than an advertising significance.
Since then the public has learned with
astonishmen. that the enterprising genius
who adopted this plan for heralding his
Bitters had planted his standard on the ia.

construction not less than fifty establish
ments of this kind, all to be on large
scale and requiring large capital to put them
in motion. In Fayetteville and vicinity
there are already dozen cotton factories in
full blast. At Raleigh factory is now
being built for the manufacture of cotton
and wooden goods of the finest quality.
At Charlotte is the Rock Island Manufac-
turing Company, whose factory turns out
the best cloths and cassimeres. The Raleigh
Sentinel speaks of samples of these goods
and declares that they are superior to i'm
ported. This mill runs $500 spindles,
turns out some $4,000 yards of cloth a
month, and consumes about zoo, 900 pounds
of wool year. Besides these, large iron
toundries are being established in the iron
regions of the State, to develop source Of
wealth hitherto but little tried.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

Late advices from Mexico indicate the
speedy dissolution of Maximilian's empire.
He was foisted upon the Mexican people as
their ruler, by French and Austrian inter-
ference, at time when this Government
was too deeply embroiled in domestic trou.
bles, to resent the encroachments upon Amer
loan soil. These difficulties having been calm
ed either temporarily or permanently, by
force of arms in this country, the government
has during the past year turned its attention
to this French and Austrian transgresSion.
The demand for the removal Of French
bayonets, upon which MAxIMILIAN's dia-
dem, it seems, exclusively rested, have
been assented to, and the departure of
these foreigners has been announced for
some time past. MACMILLAN, perceiving
the utter hopelessness of his empire if left to
exist upon the tickle support of the Mexi.
can people, has wisely determined to pack
up bis baggage and leave it to its fate. Of.
fcial advices are received, announcing that
be has already embarked for Europe.
This bloodless triumph of the "Monroe
doctrine" may be attributable to singular
combination of causes, among the most i'm
portant of which are, the successful efforts
of the United States Government in sup.
pressing the Southern revolution-and the
unexpected results Of the recent war be-.
tween Austria and Prussia.
The details of this imperial abdication
show that it was conducted in the usual
way. The Emperor announced his inten.
ton of going to Orizaba, where he could
obtain the earliest information from Europe
by steamer, from the Empress CARLoTTA.
Marshal BAz1NE, was Informally ap-
pointed Regent during his intended absence,
and the Ministry directed to report to him.
He left The Capital in quiet way, and took
a circuitous route to the coast, with small
escort, abandoning his former friends and
supporters to the fury of Mexican factions.
Although he announced his intention of
being absent only few days, there seems
to be no doubt but that his abdication was
premeditated, and is permanent.
1t is a matter of serious doubt whether
this triumph of American policy, will not
prove a heavy disaster to Mexico. Her
people have tried the experiment of self
government, for century or two, and sig
ualIy failed They have averaged during
the last century, one revolution every two
and half years. So far then as Mexico
herself is concerned, it is hardly a matter
of doubt that any stable form of Govern
meut, whether Empire, Monarchy or Des
potism, would not be better than the endless
turmoil and strife that seem to be the weak
ness and glory of her people.

York District Court.

Since the organization of this Court on
the 18th ult., by Judge BEATTY, eight cases
of crime and misdemeanor have been
brought before it, and disposed Of, includ'
ing fifteen persons, accused of these cases.
Two we're upon habeas corpus, one upon a
peace warrant, and FIVE for petty larceny.
In each of these cases the accused were in
the custody of the jailor.
When it is remembered that each prisoner
costs sixty cents per diem, the amounts
saved to the State, by this mode Of admin
istering justice, are important. Each pris-
oner released, would, if retained until
March, have involved a cost of over sixty
dollars to the State, OF 900 in the aggregate.
