IF the plaintiff had subpenaed his witnesses
and they, being members of the Legislature
had refused or neglected to attend, excusint
themselves on the ground of legislative duty, o.
on any other ground, there might have beef
some plausibilty in the attempt to put off thu
case; but. so far as appears on the record, tn
repugnance to trial was all on the part OF tn
plaintiff, not at all on that of his witnesses.

SIR: Will you do your readers the favor OF
giving them your views on the purchasing power Of the
National Currency since the South has been opened

Very truly yours, X. U.
Ansmer.-Other things being equal, we pre-
sumo that an increase of the area whereon our
Greenbacks are recognized and used as Cur
rency would tend to enhance their current value.
But who can say how long other things 'otH be

or how soon, O commercial hurricane will sweep
over usl We know no means Of giving to Cur
rency uniform, abiding value, but by making
it redeemable in coin.-[ Ed.

PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE.

The cause of Cholera is always found in de-
ranged state of the digestive fluids, particularly
the bile which has been put in disorder by eli
matte or other atmospheric causes The hillary
ducts are thus prevented from fulfilling. their
functions and consequently the whole circula-
ton is thrown into disorder. The more ones
system is thus deranged by unhealthy eatables:
or irregular habits of living, the more easy will
we become the victims Of ASIATIC CHOL-
ERA. g.. .,....... ... ... ........ ..........
Asiatic Cholera is a terrible complaint; it
takes its victims with q rapidity unknown to any
other malady; the slightest neglect against san
itary rules is almost surely punished with death.
Yet Cholera is curable like other diseases,
and in this Elixir we possess q remedy which Is
a perfect safeguard against it. Experience in
thousands of cases, particularly in 1850, in Ger
many and in the Cholera season just past in
