FROM THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY,
May, 1866; edited by William Proctor, Jr., Professor
of Pharmacy in the Philadelphia College of Pbar-
macy -"Will the fluid extracts go out of use owing
to the high ice, or can we have some authoritative
notifications oil the formulas by which we can make
them at q mole reasonable oostH Ii the latter,
shall the change be In the quality of the msnstruum,
or in the manner of applyIng it, as to reduce the
quantity requisite? Can there be a convocation OF
the Committee of Revision to authorize some new
method or modification of the present recipesP"
With regard to the contemplated change in the
quantity, the menstruum ITSELF in the prepara-
ton of fluid extracts, would take occasion to say
that in medic the health of the patient is the great
object to be gained
The cost of material is sometning but when put
into the scale with human b, alth and often human
life, it is hardly worthy of consideration at all NY
Buchu (HeImbold'sl will continue to be made as
formerly and If it cannot be maintaiHed at present
prices, they will have to be advanced to meet the
advance in the price material. 70 suoh as desire
quantity instead OF quality would say tnat water
is a cheap commodity, and may be readily added by
the person using the medicine II he desires to do So.

FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, Feb. 9Th, 1866.
Since Sunday night we have had cold nasty
norther, which has drawn me up into more of
knot, and caused me more shiyering, than all the
previous bad weather have felt in New Orleans
this winter But it is breaking now the sun shines
out cheerily once more; and as thaw out, write.
This place, too, is four degrees south of New Or
leans. ...I. .
The people here seem to dispense with fire al
together, only for kitchen use. During the cold
spell there was no public fire anywhere about the
hotel, and no room to be had with fire place in
it; no fires in the coffeehouses or barbershops;
no fires in the stores, except an occasional
plcayune charcoal furnace. Everybody puts on
his overcoat or wraps up in his shawl and shivers
It out, quite as thing of course. Firewood is not
so dear, either. The wood used here is the mus
quit, or muskeet and ebony, of the surrounding
chapparal; small sized and crooked, but excel
lent firewood, bought at an average of from two
to five dollars cord, according to the weather.
1t is time was trying to write you some news
Such news as it is, there is plenty of it around
here; but reports are so numerous and contra
dictory, that no one knows when he hears the
6 real truth T" or the T" true facts F" about any
thing. 45.-. ,..-"
Aiie 'oooad aIttlii 10 ath undergoing MILITARY
Investigation, both at this place and at Brazos; ;
and, as you must ere this be apprsed, certain U.
5. officers have been suspected to have been
seriously implicated in the business. / refrain
from giving further particulars, until the
results OF the military investigation shall be Off
cially promulgated.
Over in the Empire, the people are unmeasured
in their assertions that the United States authori
| ties connived at the whole thing, and in their
denunciations of the outrage as one unparalleled
for its completeness and utter barbarity.
On this the Republican side of the river, MANY
people talk the same way; whilst others contend
that the whole affair has been greatly exaggerated
and that good part Of the pillaging of Bagdad
was done by citizens themselves, who took
advantage .of the participation of United States
troops to carry off and secrete their own goods in
order to establish claims against the United States
government. The fact is, a man can hear anything
he wants about it. But my impression is that all
the citizens of Bagdad. bad as well as good, were
surprised and all injured alike, or according to
the size of their respective "piles"
Cortna and his men are still around, and it is
reported here to-day that he was yesterday routed
with loss of thirty men by Canales, on the Next

side Of the river again. Corsna was splurging
around these streets a week or so ago, but for

Drowning OF CAPT. TURNER OF THE PLANET.
The Mobile Advertiser of Tuesday gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the drowning of Capt.
Turner:
Casualty and Loss Of life at Sea.-On Monday
evening last the steamship Planet, Capt. VIM f.
Turner, from New Orleans, bound for Mobile,
encountered severe gale, with thunder and
Lightning, about fifteen miles to the eastward of
Sand Island Light. Capt. Turner left the cabin
to throw the lead, when the railing gave way and
officer, Mr.. G. N. Ryder, Immediately lowered the
boat. The ship being underway, Capt. Turner
was seen to rise again astern; but before the boat
could reach him, he sunk to rise no more. 1t was
blowing hurricane at the time. Capt. Ryder
was obliged to stand off and on all night, keeping
the light in sight, and crossed the bar by daylight
yesterday morning.
Capt. Turner was about thirty years old. This
was his first trip in command Of the Planet. He
was well known in Mobile and New Orleans, and
leaves family at Bucksport, Maine.
