Our NEWEST ACQUISITION. The
Island of st. Thomas, the late West
India purchase of the Secretary of
State, will reach our hands in such n
dilapidated condition from hurr;-
canes and earthquakes that, in addi-
tion to the 81, 500, 600 which is said to
be the amount the United States have
agreed to pay for it, considerable
amount more may have to be appro-
priated by Congress to repair the
wreck and ruin. Between the winds,
the waves, and the concussion of the
earth, the island seems to be O good
deal split up, just rs it has come into
our possession, but no doubt it can
all be set right by the passage through
Congress of one or two reconstruc-
tion bills, like those which have been
employed with such remarkable re-
suits so heal up cracks and fissures
made by our political earthquakes.
1t certainly cannot be objected to the
acquisition that it is ''no great
shakes" st. Thomas, our new nc
QUESTION, has an area Of twenty-four
square miles, and the population in
1855 was 1850. The soil is sandy
and not very fertile, and only about
$500 acres are under cultivation.
The principal crops are cotton and
sugar cane. 1t has been used as a
depot of goods for the adjacent
islands, and is visited by about 3, 900
vessels annually. In his late mes
sage, the President states that the
reason which recommended the ac-
QUESTION of this island was the want
of an advanced naval outpost in that
direction, which has been seriously
felt in both our wars with England,
which used ports and harbors in the
West India islands to our great in
jury and embarrassment, while our
own naval operations were necessari-
!sfarried on from our own distant
sh1Hes. The message announces that
treaty has been concluded with the
King of Denmark for the cession of
this island and st. Johns, which will
be submitted to the Senate for con.
sideration.

James II. Dey, Esq.
Sii': In reply to your inquiry of the re-
suits OF our experience in the use of your
improved Poudrctte-purchascd of you for
this years cotton crop--we would beg leave
to say that the present season has been
one quite unfavorablc to tho action Of all
fertilizers.
Several kinds of manures were used by
ns, with the exception of your roudrcttc,
with little or no effect to the crop.
Where the Poudretto was used, it gave
us near half bale more per acre, and
caused tho cotton to open much earlier;
and we would, therefore, recommend the
same as concentrated manure for the
growth of cotton, as we'll as Improvement
to the soil. Yours, very respectfully

FAITH WELL FOUNDED.-In old
times, at the commencement of every sea-
son, it was the fashion to take strong
cathartic as afeguatd against change
of temperature. 1t wa9 a worse than
senseless practice. The people of our day
understand the matter better. Instead of
depicting the system they reinforce it.
In the method they adopt they exhibit
wise discrimination. Instead of resorting
to the vitiated stimulants of commerce, or
any Of the compounds derived from them,
they put their faith in the only absolutely
pure invigorant procurable in the market
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
Their faith is well founded Never has
any tonic medicine been prepared with
such scrupulous precision and conscien-
tious care. 1t is vegetable compound of
which every ingredient is sound, whole
some and medicinal, in the true sense Of
the word. Now, we have three prominent
national complaints. One-half of the
adult population of the United States suf-
fer more or less. either from diseases of
the stomach, arrangements OF the liver,
or affections of the kidneys. In no other
land under Heaven are these maladies so
general rs in this country, and Hostetter's
Bitters is q specific for them all, unless
organic in their origin, and, therefore, be-
yond cure. And let those who are fortu-
nate enough to be exempt from them at
present understand one great fact, viz:
that an occasional use of this vitalizing
tonic will as certainly prevent them as the
sun will prevent the earth from freezing
where it's genial beams descend.

Sir: The Double Refined Poudrette 1

the other put it on cotton, on very poor
ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. 1
used it on corn. 1t answered finely, and
was thought by the hand that cultivated
the crop to be fully equal to Rhodes Super
Phosphate. also used it ON about an

that it is the best and cheapest fertilizer
in use, and expect to order several tons
this winter. Yours, very respectfully,

BIZ JOHN HAPPY.

Young Jam Bo-Ree, boy about thirteen
years old, son to the keeper of the Phree-
aneezi Saloon, remained at his post in the
back room lin a single handed game of
euchre,) after the party" had broken up in
a general bust" and every ''hand" had
one remaining adversary.
The boy held on to the greasy deck"
Whence all but he had fed;
The lamp threw its Ii ght on his last red check
And he hadn't another red"
Yet beautiful and bright he sat,
As born to win or lose,
With the ace of trumps hid under his hat,
And blower" or two in his clothes.
The game went on-he would not go
Without his fathers word
That father, drunk on the floor below,
His voice no longer heard.
He called aloud-'Say, Daddy, say,
Hadn't better 20 ii alone =
He knew not that the cheftain lay
Unconscious Of his son.
Speak Father" once again he cried,
- I'm playing my best for even,
AIid-- bui the Hl'til On the btiltF sue
-" Ordered him up on the seven"
His countenance fell when his e29caught
that,
But it wasn't time TO grieve;
So he played him the ace from under his ket,
And the right bower out Of his sleeve.
And he shouted loud once more at last:
= NJ father must | stay ,"
While DER the table thick and fast
The huttcring paste boards" play.
The tallow dip burned fitfully wild
And fiIckered up on high,
And cleaned in the face OF the gallant child,
And nearly blinded his eye.
1t tiickered up and it lickered down,
And at last disappeared in the socket;
And the man at the table who q" hailed from
town"
Slipped all Of the stakes in his pocket.
And then with burst of thunder sound,
lie kicked over tables and chairs,
And cleared the door with a single bound,
And slid down the bannister stairs.
