NEW MuSIC.

The last batch of new and excellent music we
have looked over is from the enterprizing pub
Usher of New Orleans, A. Blackmar. If this
gentleman does not outstrip his numerous Nor
thern compeers, he at least, runs them tight
race. His issues are neatly got up and of the
highest order Throughout the war Mr.. Black
mar, despising chains and dungeons issued most
of our most popular war-songs, and such pieces
as stirred up the patriotism of our dropping war
riors. 1.-The Bonnie Blue Flag" Maryland,
My Maryland" 1.-THE Southern Marseilles" and
Missouri were among his publications.
We have not room to notice the many gems
he has sent us-among them are ''Come when
the Nightingale sings to the Rose,'' and dreams
ing of Thee" two beautiful ballads by Prof. j
H. Hewitt of this town; 'Those Dark Eyes," by
T. B. Bishop; "Rain Drops" by E. o. Eaton
"Oh, would were a Bird, +" with variations by
Charles Grobe; ''Rose Buds" by T. Won l.,
Hache and s'Sea Dreams" by E. O. Eaton.

A New Medical DispensatiOn.

The dark ages of medication now draw to a
close. Two great specifics are superseding all the
stereotyped and hackneyed nostrums of the age
Dr. MaggiePs Pills and Salve, by their extraor-
binary cures have opened the eyes of the public
to the inefficiency of the (so-called remedies up
on which they have so long blindly depended
MaggePs Pills are not of the class that are swal-
lowed by the dozen or the score and of which
every box taken begets an absolute necessity for
another! One, or at most, two or three of Maggl-
els Pills, suffices to place the bowels in good con-
ditiOn tone the stomach, create an appetite, and
render the spirits light and buoyant.
There is no gripping and no reaction in the form
of constipation. If the liver is affected, its func-
tons are restored and regulated. If the nervous
system is feeble, it is invigOrated. Ulcerous and
eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power of MaggiePs Salve. Invalids
who are wise enough to try these pure and pow
erful vegetable preparations will infallibly rec
ommend them, discarding as comparatively val
ueless every other Pill and Salve in existence
In fact, it will be found that MAGGIELs BILIOUS,
DYsPEPTIC and DIARRHGA PILLS cure where
all others fail. While for Burns, Scalds, Chill
blains, Cuts, and all abrasions of the skin, Mag
giePs Salve is infallible.
Sold by j. HAYDOCK, II Pine street. New
York, and all Druggists, at Is cents per box.
''CoUNTERFEITS Buy no MaggiePs Pills or
Salve with little pamphlet inside the box. They
are bogus The genuine have the name OF ).

ell, M d. The genuine have the Pills surround

The attitude in which the President now
finds himself, is by no means pleasant, and
while we are not in position to advise him,
we are fully persuaded that for once the Herald
is right. He must go on. The issue is fully
made up. 1t is impeachment, and the only
question is whether he will be sustained by the
people. We have very little idea that he will
be, but he has plunged into the Rubicon up to
his knee, and he cannot return. Perhaps it is
the very best thing for him to do. We live in
the midst of mighty revolution. It aoiU run
its course, and the sooner the question is settled
the better The supreme question which he
thus precipitates, is whether we have recog-
nized government, and on the impeachment
question the issue can be decided.
If the decision be against him, then we may
prepare ourselves for a military despotism, and
when that comes we prefer one King to many.

Died, on the 18th, on Middle River, near

and M. S. Lilly, aged one year, nine months and
twenty-five days.
She was the second child of her parents and
much beloved by them, and all who knew her
But she was dearer to her Heavenly Father, so
He took her from this world of sorrow to Himself
where she will grow in loveliness, and be caress-
ed by greater circle of friends Her youth will
never decay; her beauty never fade; nor will
the blighting influences of sin effect her innocent
soul. She drinks at the fountain of the water of
life freely. She wears robe made white in
the blood of the Lamb" She battles ever in the
'pure river of water of life, and under the tree
of life on either side of the river" she securely
abides singing the song Of heaven, learned by
none but the heavenly choir. Much happiness
did she afford her parents while she lived, and
now they should rejoice that she is forever happy
AS heavenly messenger, she soothed many Of
their cares, and delighted them with her innocent
company; but, at a moment they least expected,
she took her flight NsS u.

A CARD.

An article abiding to the recent Masked Fan
cy Ball given at the American Hotel, appeared
in the last issue of the Spectator. The author of
that article learns, with extreme regret, that it
has given offence to many persons whose friend
ship and good opinion he values 1t was far
from his intention to cast slur upon the social
standing of any one concerned in the affair,
which was certainly sustained by many of the
most respectable ladies and gentlemen of our
community. He the writer) was in error from
the beginning, presuming that humorous en-
tertainment asked a humorous notice. He is too
much of man of gallantry to willfully offend
a lady, and too sincere an admirer of Col. o. Fer
rail- as a gentleman to attempt to cast a reproach
upon his house.

taken up along the route by prominent men of
orphan asylums, and many thousands of dollars
were received Silver was showered from the

Let us Of the South keep quiet and attend to
our private business. According to Jack Down
ing, whenever Gen. Jackson was pcrplexed he
took it out in splitting wood. Let us in like
manner work an hour longer in our shops and
offices, or plough another acre of land. We
cannot help to fashion political events, and we
do not even know when we ought to be glad
and when we ought to be sorry. Under the
circumstances, let us maintain our equanimity
and attend to our business, await the develop
