WALRUssIA.-It is said that our new acquisi-
ton promises to be ich in minerals and that
portions of the interior will produce most of the
cereals as well as the harder vegetables of the
temperate zone. A western contemporary, upon
what is said to be good authority, makes the fol-
lowing statement
Twenty American citizens residing at Victoria,
Vancouver's Island, have written letter to
Secretary Seward, congratnlating him on the ac-
QUESTION of Russian America by the United
States. In the opinion of these gentlemen, the
climate of the new Territory west of the Cascade
Mountains, is MS high as sixty degrees and of the
numerous islands bordering its Shores it is mild
err than that of New England. The pine forests
are immense in extent, and lumber can be ship
ped with great ease from the capacious harbors
lining the coast. Mines of gold, silver, lead,
copper, iron and coal are known TO exist, many
rich specimens of these minerals having been
brought down to Victoria. Although in agri-
cultural capabilities our new territory is inferior
TO territories lying south of it, yet there large
tracts of land which, under cultivation, will
produce most of the cereals as we'll as the hardi-
er vegetables of the temperate zone. This testi-
mony, coming from men who are acquainted
with the soil and climate oil the Northwest coast,
confirms the general impression as to the value of
this recent acquisition.

Sanford Conover.

We publish in another place the letter to the
President of Charles A. Durham, in which he
duplicates Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio, General Butler,
OF Massachusetts the rev. Mr. Matcbett, and
Others, in an infamous plot to destroy the Presi-
dent of the United States 1t will be recollected
that this man, Charles A. Durham, is the same
person who figured in the conspiracy trials under
the name of Sanford Conover, and who has been
subsequently, convicted for perjury in connection
with these trials, and in the effort to connect
Jefferson Davis with the assassination. We have
nothing to say as 10 the reliability of Conover's
statements, but il must be borne in mind thai
he furnishes letters from Holt, Ashley, Riddle
and others, sustaining to some extent his charac-
ter, and certifying 10 his valuable services to the
country, and on this, asking pardon for him,
which they will not now, we suppose, gainsay.
The letters in brackets, which will be found in
tine letter of Dunham refer to the letters of Holt
and others, published with the letter to the Pres
ident, and which for want of room we have omit
ted These letters were all sent to the President
by Dunham alias Conover, and by him handed
over to the Attorney General, by whom they
were published.

Words of Vital Interest.

Will the thousands who read columns of frivo
lous verbiage every day devote five minutes to
the perusal of few facts which concern them
nearly Our text is Health, and we will put
our commentary into nutshell. Weakness is
indirectly the cause ofall sickness; for if nature
be strong enough to resist the morbid influences
which produce illness, of course they are power
less. Seek strength, therefore. Invigorate and
regulate the system. When the quicksilver
ranges from 80 to SO degrees in the shade the
most athletic are enfeebled, and the weak are
Frustrated. 1t is at such time thatsuch an in
vigorator as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS is urgently needed. What Az the effects
of this rare Vegetable Tonic? Would that all
who have known its benefits could condense their
experience into this paragraph. They would
tell the healthy, TO protect their health they
must use this great safeguard against the debil-
litating influences. They would exhort the
weak to- discard all unmedicated and impure
simuiants and cling to this wholesome and I'M
failing tonic and Alternative as the shipwrecked
mariner would cling to raft in stormy sea.
They would, of dyspeptic pangs relieved of APP
petite restored, of shattered nerves Iestrung, of
headaches cured, of disordered functions regu-
lated, of hypochondria dissipated, Of miasmatic
diseases bafhed, of fever and ague cured of liver
complaints arrested, of heat, rivaton aud toll
dcfed, of hope re-apimated, ard cheerfulness re-
stored. Such are the effects of HOSTETTER'S
BITTERS.

THE IRISH CRops-The accounts from Ireland
of the prospect of the crops are of the most cheer
ing character. The Dublin correspondent of
the London Times, in his letter of the 9Th of
June last, says:
The accounts Of the crops from all parts of the
country are most favorable. The harvest pros
poets have been much improved by the rain
which fell on Wednesday and Thursday, and
which has been followed by a genial heat. The
fields look beautiful in their luxurance, and the
potatoes in particular present healtbful APP
pearance. New potatoes are abundant in the
market, and hay is being briskly saved, with
fair average yield; but it is remarked that the
fax crop is an exception, and slightly shades the
picture of agricultural prosperity. Generally
speaking, it is far from being good as in former
years. In most places it is uneven and short
The green crops, which the drought had made
rather delicate, have been greatly revived by
the rain, and there is every reason to expect
that the return Of cereals will be satisfactory to
the farmer

RAILROAD BRIDGn Across THE CHEsAPEAKE.-
The question of building a railroad bridge across
the Chesapeake Bay, from Worton's Point, in
Ken: county, to point in Hartford county, seems
now to be c@s jess OF discussion in come quar-
tiers, at least SO say some of the newspapers. -
The Wilmington Commercial of the 9th inst, has
the following in relation to the matter
Benjamin H. Latrobe, Baltimore engineer,
advocates the building ola railroad bridge acros;
the Chesapeake Bay to connect Eastern and
Western Maryland. The proposed bridge is to
cross the Bay near Worton Point, in Kent Co.
to point above the mouth of Bush river, in
Hartford Co., distance of two and two-thirt

The Medical Society Of Hartford County

The Medical Society met in this place, on
Tuesday last with Dr.. T. G. Hopkins, as Presi-
dent, and Dr. W. Staiup Forwood, as Secretary
The proceedings throughout were interesting
DR.. Forwood, one of the delegates 10 the Nation
al Medical Convention, which met al Cincinnati
last spring, made very able and interesting re-
port of the proceedings of that Convention, which
was accepted, and the thanks of the Society fem
dered the Doctor, for the very satisfactory man
ner in which he had performed his duty. A
short but well written biography of DR.. John
Archer, principally as 10 his medical life written
by DR.. George Archer, at the suggestion of some
of the members of the Society, was also presented
and read by DR.. w. Stump Forwood, and from
which paper it appears that DR.. John Archer
was graduate of the first Medical College ever
established in the United States. The meeting
was not very full, and there was but little dis
cussion, and yet the proceedings were not With
out interest, al least to us. AS well as we could
understand, from what was said and done while
we were present. the main objects of the Society
seemed to be the promotion of science, the use
iulness of the profession, and harmony among its
members and the profession generally. The
good Or benefits to be derived to the community
appeared to us to be also one of the objects of the
Society, as this subject absorbed much of the
discussion which took place, and very many sug-
gestions, looking to this end, made by the vari-
Gus members, appeared reasonable and useful.
The next meeting takes place in Bel Air, on the
second Tuesday in November next and the next
meeting ofthe National Medical Convention will
be- we understand, held at Washington City.

Ipprov EN- ents Still Going On,

We observe that ex-sheriff Amos has common
ced the brick work of his building, situated on
Main street, between the residence of DR.. Dance
and Samuel Galloway, Esq, and on the south
east corner lot from A. Fl. Greenfeld's store
This building is intended for the private resi-
dence of the owner, and is thirty-eight feet long
by twenty-eight f ct wide, and from the materi-
al of which it is to he built, and the attention
and care with which the work 70 hAno aona. we
ieel assured that when completed it will be a
valuable residence and a very handsome i'm
provement to that part Of the town. The plan
the building is admirable, usefuly appropria-
tine every inch of room and neglecting no eonve-
nience 1t cannot fail to bea most desirable resi-
dence While the work is substantial it is new
ertheless being done with due care to neatness.
The building is of brick and to be covered with
slate, and the plan Mr.. Amos own.
On Court House Lane, not far below the Office
of Messrs. Archer & Stump, the brick-layers are
busily engaged in the erection of building for
Mrs. Barbara Ferry. This building is to be
thirty-seven feet long by twenty feet wide, with
back building eighteen feet wide by nineteen
feet long, and is to be built of brick, and is, we
believe, intended as a tavern and dwelling. It
is also to be well finished and will be n decided
Improvement to the locality in which it is situ-
ated. The brick work is beinr done by Mr..
Hilditch, and the carpenters work is under the
supervision of William Kean, builder. Besides
