Guided to present to the public a
SOUTHERN TONIC"
and trust that they may not regard it as a
quack medicine.
Before ventning to give publicity to this
Tonic, the recipe was shown to several OF
the most eminent physicians of this city,
and was pronounced by them an excellent
Tonic
The recipe will be shown to any respeeta-
BILE physician who may desire to see it,
Unlike the many remedies that are offered
to the public, this Tonic does not cure every
disease. All it claims is its wonderful power
of restoring the functions to their natural
condition after having been embarrassed by
disease.
Were it necessary, certificate after certifi
cate could be appended to this from well
known citizens, but we deem it useless.

NEW YORK, August 1O.-The morning
papers have the following specials from
Washington:
Brevet Major General A. A Hum

Major General r. Delatield as CHIEF
Engineer of the army.
General Baird has been removed from
his command Mt New Orleans, and

will leave here on the 2Sth inst. to

The Queen of the Sandwich Islands
has accepted an invitation to be the
guest of the Government, and will be in
Washington in II few days.
The Times special says, information
has been received here from n reliable
source, to the effect that martial law
is supreme Mt FL Paso, Texas, and that
the military are not only managing that
branch of the Government, but have
assumed the control of the civil depart
ment, and committed acts in defiance
of the laws of Texas, and the order OF
Provisional Governor Hamilton. It
appears that n Major is in command Mt
that point, and, in consequence OF mill
tary interference, the radical candidates
were elected to the Legislature, contrary
to the law and the order of the Provis-
1onal Government. This officer has
appointed justices of the peace, ordered
executions to issue, and property to be
sold, to satisfy judgments rendered by
them, amounting in one case to nearly
$4,000.

Report or the Freedmens, Burenu

NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-The report of
the Freedmen's Bureau, recently made
by Generals Steadman and Fullerton,
is published. In the course of the re-
port, the officers state that there was
considerable difficulty in reporting
upon the mode of administration among
the agents. There is an entire absence
of system in the whole organization.
The contract system controls the labor
in one State, while the labor. is not con-
trolled at all in another. The general
Government furnishes the funds in, one
district, and the taxation of planters
and the negroes furnish them in anoth-
err. They finally close their report by
saying that the system ofcontracts en-
forced by the Bureau is simply slavery

special to the Tribune says:
Official Information ut Headquarters
shows that the statement of Lieut.. Gov.
VOORHEES,, that ~ policemen and several
citizens were either killed or wounded,
IS an unmitigated falsehood. One DO
liCeman died of sunstroke and about
three were badly wounded. One citizen,
rebel, was killed accidentally by, the
police. On the other side, the record
Will show tie slaughter to be over one
hundred Union men and the wounding
OF about 300. These are facts. 1 have
It from undoubted authority that Gen.
Sherldan's telegram of the LIST of Au-
gust was perverted for political pur-
poses. Among the sentences withheld
was one that he (Sheridan) ''held Mayor
Jno. j. Monroe responsible for the
murders committed on Monday"
Lit. Butts, of the Freedmen's Bureau,
has been murdered and robbed in jack.
son parish. Rebels are complaining
that they didsnot kill enough Yankees
and conventioners, but brag that the
time is coming when they will finish
their work. Union men are afraid to
go out on the streets after dark and in
variably barricade their houses during
the night. While the present police is
composed of thugs life is terribly inse-
cure day or night.
A Washington special to the Tribune
says that private letter to General
Howard, Inspector General, dated
Vicksburg, Miss, Aug. Sd, states that
things are getting worse in this cOun-
try every day. Freedmen murders are
nothing now. AT least thirty have
been killed during the past six weeks.

THE Nation INDUCES in tho following
bit of criticism on prevalent style OF
landscape gardening: "who has not
found himself impatiently following
gravel SIS over an absolutely level and
unobstructed field of grassf Who has
moi, seen with disgust scalloped-edged
tanks cut out of n level plain as fiat ms
barn floor, and provided with curb
stones to hold the water in? such
tanks are more like wash-tubs than ma
lures ponds. Long sweeps and gentle
curves in pathways are much more ma
tural than ais and SIS. Above all. wa
boundaries should be determined
solely by the varying level of the sur
rounding land, and the edges of arti-
fetal ponds should invariably DO sion
ing, and made of sand, gravel, or peb-
bles, never of masonry. An arch or n
stone bridge is fine feature in a land
scape,. yet we do not build series of
arched bridges across an unbrOken
plain. simply in order to meander up
and down, after the manner of the
mythical sea.serpent. Horizontal me-
andering, without due cause, is quite as
absurd"
