 see by the public prints that Gen. Fitzpatrick has decorated me with his disap- probation before the people of Pennsyl- vania. He informs them, substantially, that he tanned me by capturing me and riding me two hundred miles on a bare back mule I will do the gentlemen the justice to say that he knew that was lie when he uttered it. l surrendered to Gen. Schofeld at Greensboro, N C., on the 2d of May, 1865, who told me to go to my home and remain there, saying, ii he got any orders to arrest me, he would send there for me.
 Accordingly, was arrested on the 18th of May. at home, by detachment of 300 cavalry under Maj Porter, of Harrisburg of whom 1 received nothing but kindness and courtesy. came in buggy toSals- bury, where we took the cars. saw no mule, though thought saw an ass at the generals headquarters. This impress sion has been since confirmed.
 The general no doubt remembers, among other incidents of the war, the dressing up of a strumpet-who assisted him in put,ing dorn the rebeAio"-in the uniform ofan orderly, and introducing her into respectable family of ladies in cer- tain village in North Carolina This, aud other feats of arms and strategy so crediia ble 10 the uniform he wore and the flag under which he served, would, no doubt, have been quite as amusing as the mule story to his hearers. wonder he forgot it.

From the New York Tribune
 QMlnlnc.

Quinine is produced from forest tree in South America, known as the chin chona. of which there arc many varieties, but the cinchona cansaya and theclnchona rubra yield the medicine in greatest abun- dance So great has been the demand that, in most of the districts whence it has been obtained, the supplies are gradually diminishing and, as no substitute of equal value is likely to be found, it is of the utmost importance that new sources shall be discovered. In Jamaica the cinchona rubra has been cultivated sufficiently to sih,,,w that it will grow we'll on that island, and the government is urged to encourage and assist in its cultivation on an exten ded scale It seems, however, that only upon mountains from l l,500 to 2,000 feet high, where the forests are often bedewed with mist, does this tree arrive to per lection that will make its cultivation profitable; but there are seversl sections on the Island which will answer the requirements. Besides, there are other islands in this quarter of the world where similar conditions prevail. and if due efforts are made the worlds supply of quinine may continue unexhausted.

Having had indubitable evidence of it's prompt and certain effects from the lestimo- ny of multitude of respectable citizens, among whom are classed some of our best physicians, we do not hesitate 10 recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of it's intrinsic value, it would not be too much for us to state that when the directions are strictly complied with we warrant a cure in every case where il is tried It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapest medicine in the world. There fore, in truth. it may be declared the day IS not far distant when it must be appreciated and used in every household where Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever IS found 10 exist.
 The wonderful operation of the Texas Tom ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala- rious poison in the human system, can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the speedy. thorough and permanent cure of Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague. and all their kindred diseases, in whatever form of Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As it's name imports, it is a Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and arc so united as to form compound alike skillful in art, beau tiful in appearance, and can be taken with safety to the most delicate constitutions. It is the result of lifetime of experience and practice in Southern climate, aud was net- CT known to fail, even where ali othe reme- dies had been tried in vain.
 Those who are unacquainted with the ex- iraordinary properties of this home produc- ton, manufactured from Roots and Plants ind genous to the soil of our sunny South" (and Lcnce adapted to the cure of Southern climatic diseases) are respectfully referred 10 the certificates of respectable citizens whose names are embraced in pamphlet which accompanies each bottle; also the en- dorsements of the press in all the Southern States, indicating the many thousand cures already performed by our justly celebrated Texas Tonic Syrup.
 The reports from hundreds of Druggists, Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the country are uniform in stating tue medicine is safe. certain aud reliable, as . substitute for Quinine and the poisonous compounds heretofore generally sold. and IS rapidij suppian,ing everything of this class.
 As home enterprise 1t especially com mends itself to the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in sn effort to do away with old prejudices in favor of foreign produce. and may We not hope foreign .'Quack Nostrums, the prcprietors of which. in most cases, are governed by no thing but mercenary motives, know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents. and care nothing for our interests, except to en- tice our people into the use of ther vile mixtures.
 The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases of two dozen.
 Dealers supplied upon better terms than any other remedy affords.
