A New and Grand Epochin Medicine.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder Of a new
Medical system! The qaantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most yirulent sores with box or so of his
wonderful and all healing Salye. These
two great specifics Of the Doctor are fast
superceding all the stereotyped nostrums of
the day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel's
Pills and Salve have opened the eyes Of
the public to the ineficiency Of the $50
called) remedies Of Others, and upon which
people have SO long blindly depended
Maggiel's Pills are not Of the class that,are
swallowed by the dozen, and Of which eve
ry box full taken creates an absolute ne.
cessity for another. One or two Of Mag
gels Pills suffice to place the bowels in
perfect order, tone the stomach, Great
an appetite and render the spirit light and
buoyant! There is no gripping, and no
reaction in the form Of constipation. If
the liver is effected, its functions are re-
stored; and if the nervous system is feeble,
it is invigorated. This last quality makes
the medicines very desirable for the wants
Of delicate females. Ulcerous and eruptive
diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power Of Maggiels Salve. In
fact, it is here announced that MAeG1EL's
BILIOUS, DYspEpr1c AND D1ARRHEA Pills
cure where oil others fail. While for
Burns, scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and all
abrasions Of the skin MAeGIEL's SALvE is
infallible. Sold by F. P. DUcoSGE, No.
80 Chartres street, New Orleans, and all
druggists, at 25 cts. per box.
"CousrERFE1rs! Buy no more Maggiel
Pills or salve, with little pamphlet inside
the box. They are bogus. The genuine
have the name Of J. Haydock on box with
name Of ]. Maggiel, NJ. D. The genuine

l@ The battle ield Of Sadowa, in
Austria Is having all its trees cut down.
It will be remembered that this wood was
the key to the battle Of Koniggrats, on the
holding Of which, for q long while, hung
victory or defeat. It is now being stripped
Of its timber by Austrian wood-cutters,
and this is done to destroy ALL traces Of a
locality that must forever remind them of
a great national humiliation. The trunks
Of the trees, as they fall before the axe, are
found thickly studied with bullets, and
scores Of relic hunters are on the ground,
industriously extracting them from their
Judgment.

REACTION IN PsBLIc OPINION. The Con-
necticut election indicated decided change
in the current Of opinion. An election
just held in Illinois shows that the
Conservative reaction is even more decided
West than East, The second grand d.
vision OF the State, which gave 3O44
majority for the Radicals in November,
now elects Democratic Conservative for
Judge by majority of 1000.

a fuss lately because he was not, as he
supposed, to be buried, when he died,

to an African burying ground, just as
early as he pleases to cause them to be
sent.

Presidents Message.
COST OF CTfON--LIABILITY
FOR "REBEL" DEBTS.

WASHINGTON, July 49, The follow
ing message was transmitted to-day,
addressed to the Senate of the United
States: no Boz 4
/ transmit herewith q report from the
Secretary Of War and Attorney Gene
raj, containing the information called
for by a resolution Of the Senate, Of the
Sd inst, requesting the President to
communicate to the Senate copies Of
all orders, instructions, circulars, let
tiers, or letters Of advice issued to re-.
spective military officers, assigned to
the command Of the several military
districts, under an act passed March
ID, 1867, entitled tan act to provide
for the more efficient government Of the
rebel States,' and ian act supplement
tary thereto" passed March %, 1867
Also copies Of all opinions given by
him, and by the Attorney General Of
the United States, touching the con-
struction of and interpretation Of said
acts, and all correspondence relating to
the operations of the constitution or
execution Of said acts, and such as may
have taken place between himself and
any such commander, or between him
and the general and army, or between
the latter and said commander touch
ing said subject. Also copies Of all
orders issued by said commander in
carrying out the provisions II said act,
or either of them; also that he would
inform the Senate of what progress he
has made in the matter Of registration
under said acts, and whether the sum
Of money appropriated for carrying
them out be probably sufficient. In
answer to that portion of the resolution
whether the sum Of money appropfia-
ted for carrying these acts into effect is
probably sufficient, reference is made
to the accompanying report Of the Sec
rotary Of War. It will be seen from
that report that the appropriation Of
SIS, OOO, 600, made in act approved
March Goth, 1867, for the purpose OF
carrying into effect the acts to provide
for more efficient government Of the
rebel States, passed March 2, 1867, and
the act supplementary, passed March
I'd, 1867, has already been expended by
the commanders Of the general military
districts, and that in addition the sum
Of 81, 645,277 is required for present
purposes. It is exceedingly difficult at
the present time to estimate the proba-
able expense of carrying into full effect
the two acts Of March last, and the bill
which passed the two houses Of Con-
gress ON the 18th inst. If the existing
governments Of the ten States Of the
Union are to deposed and their entire

the venerable President Dis known as
one Of the profoundest scholars and
most elegant gentlemen in the country,

cessary for the conduct of a first class
female school. We are pleased to
know that he is devoting his time and
talents, at his advanced age, to such a
laudable object as the education Of the
daughters Of Louisiana. asa
Although the institution has recently
sustained a heavy loss in the confagra-
ton Of its college edifce, this circum-
stance will in no wise interfere with it's
arrangements for another session. DR..

the reception Of pupils, where we are

70 When Santa Anna, who has al
ways been q stumbling block in the
way Of ambitious Mexicans, fell Unto
the hands Of the Liberals it was ru-
mored that Jaarez had had him shot as
he had shot the Archduke Macmillan.
One of Machiayelli's ,maxims was that q
sovereign should put all aspirants tohis
throne out of the way by smothering
them. Although we can hardly sup
pose that the Mexican butcher has ever
been very close student of the Prince,
yet we must admit that he has proved
himself TO be a very expert imitator of
the Machiayelian policy. Great minds
often hit on the same idea without the

indignant contempt. They will do it for
good and sufficient reasons. He has not
only no sympathy with their organization,
but he is one Of it's bitterest and most
deadly opponents. He is VIGOROUSLY unit
for the Office. He is unfit by his want Of
statesman-like training and education. The
idea Of Mr.. Cox and his hackers that the
Democracy shall surrender all their self.
