SACRAMENTO. April 80 1865
f. DIR. &. - BOURNE Dear Sir 1t is with
pleasure and satisfaction that now let you
know of my good health. Looking back
upon what have passed through, it seems as
il had been lifted from the grave, and l
think it my duty to acknowledge to you and
the world the benefit L, derived from water
treatment as administered by you in your
celebrated baths, 1t was in August 1864.
when disease developed itself with a severe
cough. l then took medicines, getting worse
with chlis. fevers, loss of strength, and was
pronounced consumptive. This set me to
thinking, ana finally | determined to leave
my business and 60 70 the Sandwich Islands.
having been Informed that / could not be
cured here. l went to San Francisco. and
while waiting for ship, called upon DR..
Bourne, who stated that trip to the Islands
would probably result disastrously. was who'll
ly unnecessary. as could be speedily cured
at his establishment. placed myself under
his treatment, and in one week was so much
improved that could risk returning home
and do my duty as Engineer on the Central
Pacific Railroad. The Doctor objected but
thought knew better, and returned to duty.
In about two weeks my cough returned. and
| kept getting worse. and contrary to DR..
Bourne's injunction never to take medicine
again, committed that folly, and soon was 80
completely run down that could scarcely
walk; SO, as last resort, concluded to try
the Water Cure once more. went to San
Francisco-few ofmy friends expecting me
to return. In fact, thought my return doubt
full On arriving at DR.. Bourne's establish
ment, February IA. 1861 was not able to
get into the bath without assistance. but iu a
few days | began to recover myself again
| remained with him orly six weeks, when l
felt '' wiser and better man. without the
aid of medicine l have now been at work
several weeks. and find that am gaining
every day, and at present bid fair To be stout
er than ever before. Persons visiting the
Doctors establishment find it Just what it
should be, both in the Ladies' and Gentle
mems Departments, and l cannot say too
much in praise of the Doctors kind attention
to his patients. 49,. 81. ..
This letter 1 write for the benefit of all the
afflicted, to be used as the Doctor decides.

ELKTON, AUGUST 10, 1867.
The Constitutional Convention.

Our democratic Convention at Annapolis
are hammering away slowly at their Consti
tuition. They have finished their Bill of
Rights in which it is declared that "Slayery
shall not be established in Maryland" and
demanding compensation FORTS adjustment
from the United States. They have pro-
ceeded so far with the Judiciary as to estab
fish a three Judge system in place of, as at
present, one, with salary for the Chief fudge
of So, 100, and for Associates $2,750. They
also declare that negro testimony shall be
admitted, with the cunning proviso, how
ever, that the Legislature shall have power
to abolish the privilege. And thus the as
sembly of doomed politicians are founder
ing slowly along, apparently in doubt whoth.
err to go forward with their plans to chain
Maryland to the car of Secession and all the
exploded denominations of the late slave
holders rebellion, or quietly wait for their
swift coming doom.
- Last week they were startled at the crack
of doom from Tennessee, where the expert
ment of negro suffrage has for the first time
been tried on scale embracing State, and
which resulted in so signal triumph to the
Republican cause, as to have scarce left a
rebel to tell the tale.

The Union ia cific Railroad.
OPEN 1925 MILES.

A few weeks since we noticed the opening
of the Union Pacific Railroad to Julesburg,
ar miles west of Omaha, and we now have
TO report its completion to Crow Creek, a
point 49 miles further west, making a total
of 425 miles. Fifty miles Of track in addi
ton are graded ready for the iron, and there
is no doubt Of the completion Of the road to
he base OF thD Rocky Mountains early in
the Fall. The Company are confident that
the whole line to the Pacific will be open
for business in 1870. The Indians have an.
noyed the serveying parties and cutters,
who are many hundred miles in advance of
the work but they have wholesome fear
of the population that arailroad carries with
it, and all trains run without interruption:
The business Of the Company has been
most aattering. The earnings for the quar-.
ter ending August lst, were about $780,.
600; but as the report for the last week in
July has not been received, the exact irac.
ton cannot be given. These earnings &C.
crned from operating an average not more
than $50 miles Of road, and after deducting
operating expenses, the balance is far in ex-
cess of the interest.obligat of the Com.
pany on the amount of bonds they can issue
on that distance. 1t should be remembered
that this result is from aoay business alone,
through new country, and is not to be
compared with the vast through business
that must follow the opening of the whole
line to The Pacific. TIE success of the en-
terprise seems TO be thoroughly assured, and
we can see no reason why the First Mort.
gage Bonds are not entitled to rank among
the best securities. The daily sales are now
so large, that the Company already enter.

TENNESSEE. The Tennessee election
which was held last week, had for some
time previous excited universal interest, be-
ing the first State election taking place in
one Of the slave States where the colorod
man was accorded the rightto vote. The
rebels had used threats of violence previous
to the election, but strong military force
was in readiness if they had attempted to
put their threats into practice. The election
passed of very quietly throughout the entire
State, resulting in a perfect rout Of the Rebel
party. The entire congressional delegation,
eight in number, are Republicans, with al
most unanimous Republican Legislature,
which insures a Republican US. Senator,
in place of Patterson, now in the IS. Sen
ate from Tennessee. Brownlow is reelected
Governor by 10000 majority. The first
broadside from the batteries of Impartial
Suffrage has sent the Rebel pirates to the
bottom. The traitors of Kentucky and
Maryland await in fear and trembling their
turn, when the same fire will silence them
forever. Nor will they be compelled to wait
long. They are improving their short lease
of life, however, by riot and bloodshed,-
Every mail brings tidngs of some Gendish
outrage committed by the chivalry of these
two States, on the unoflendng colored PEG,
pie. Their manifold crimes cry to heaven
for vengeance, nor will they cry in vain.

The wholesale discharge of negroes
throughout Tennessee for voting the Radi
cal ticket has demanded from the Freed
mems Bureau prompt measures Tor their
support. General Carlin is moving i'll the
matter, but finds it impossible to obtain en-
ployment for the hundreds who are being
discharged.
This miserable prescription will not save
the rebels. The men who have endured
with such heroic fortitude the horrors OF
slavery cannot be deferred and forced to
vote for their oppressors by such a suicidal
policy. If the laborers are discharged work
must stop and employers either work or
