Messrs PERRY DAVIS q SoN:
Dear Sirs.-DurIng long residence in
China, have used your invaluable Pain
Killer, both in my own family and among the
Chinese, and have found it most excellent
msdiciue, In the summer of 90 and '63
while residing in Shanghai, found it an al
most certain cure for cholera, if used in
time, Indeed, using it in n great many in
stances. do not remember failing in sin.
gle case. For three years have been re-
siding IN this place, more than fifty miles
from physician, and have been obliged Of
ten to fall upon my own resources in cases
of sickness. The Chinese come TO Us in
great numbers for medicine and advice.
Though without medical knowledge our
selves, the few simple remedies we can COM
msrd are so much in advance even of their
physicians, that We have almost daily appli-
cations. We allow them to come, because
it brings US in contact with them, and opens
a door to usefulness. In diarrhoa, collie
vomiting, cholera, coughs, &c. your Pain
Killer has been my chief medicine.
Yours, very truly, I. P. CRAWFORD.

THr AFRICAN CENTRAL.

Judge Thompson very agreeably surprised
his friends last Monday evening by his un
expected arrival. The news spread over GU.
village with such rapidly as eyinced the in
teresf felt BY all in the great enterprise OF
which he is head. During the evening The
Aledo Band, accompanied bya large portion
of our citizens, gave him serenade al his
resideAce. The Judge gracefally acknowl.
edgedthe compliment in few neat and inter
esting remarks, in which he declared briefly
what he accomplished towards completing the
American Central Railroad, and hunted at the
vexatious but unavoidable causes that had
compelled his protracted absence.
There are many interesting details concern
ing the American Central. and the contracts
made by Judge Thompson, that cannot De
given to the public now, for 1t IS not to the
interest of the company or the public, that
tbav should be. But we are authorized by
the Jndoe to say that the iron for the entire
line from Fort Wayne to Omaha has been
purchased on most favorable terms, of we'll
known and responsible firm in Europe. The
first shipment of iron will be made as early
in the spring as practicable, and to be con.
tinued at the rate of :, 900 tons per month
during the summer months, and 900 tons
during the winter months, until the $4,000
tons contracted for have been delivered.
The firm from which this iron is obtained
was established over 100 years ago and
there is no doubt of its ability and good faith.
Arrangements have also been made for
money to commence work early in the spring
at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
No final arrangement has yet been made
for commencing work on this part of the
road, but it is hoped that with such resources
as the company may command, with the aid
of the people along the line, work may be
resumed at least betweea the Illinois and
Mississippi rivers during the spring.
The Judge intended returning to New
York last Friday on business of Importance
to the American Central but is detained at
home at present by the serious illness OF his
son Frank. AS soon as he can leave he will
start east.-Mercer County Press. Feb. 4.
The Aledo Record, of the 5th., speaks in
equally glowing terms Of the prospects ofthe
road, and says Judge Thompson left for
New York on Monday.

Sad State of Affairs at the South.

Extract from letter written by New
Orleans merchant, to Boston merchant,
dated "New Orleans, Jan. TO-" 1868:
"DEAR SIR.-I am almost afraid to ex-
press to you my views of the future of this
section, for fear might mislead you. The
fact is, any view of the future is but guess.
The present condition of all the country
tributary to New Orleans is so desperate
that no one but an eyewitness, passing
through the country, could appreciate the
true state of the country. Every boat from
the cotton region brings lot of mules from
some planter determined to quit. In the
country, at sheriff sales, mules cannot be
sold, even at such figures as $25, and
learn of a place selling on the Ouachita river
ing $4,000 to build before the war. These
facts show the complete wreck of everything
financial. The negroes, from want of abili.
ty of planters to employ them, are relapsing
into state of thieving vagahondage, and
from the necessities of the case will go from
bad to worse rapidly. / believe numbers OF
them are willing to engage with planters foI
the coming year, on the terms of their food
and clothes but it is only small fraction
of the planters who can hire them even on
these terms; and with ten starving negroes
to one laboring negro it is questionable il
any food crop could be harvested or any sup.
ply of provisions be permitted to remain on
plantations unless guarded by United States
soldiers. A spirit of despair is settling on
the people, and the future to me is gloomy
in the extreme. The only hopeful remedy
that occurs to me land that can only pal
late the suffering is, grant an amnesty to
the south, do away with the congressional
plan of reconstruction, and say to the south,
"Reorganize your state governments accord
ing to your best wisdom guided by exper-
fence establish efficient and Just police
laws; then all would work inspired with the
hope that the worst is past, and that affairs
would rapidly improve"

Of The United States are laboring under burden

never boon laid upon any people before. The

that these burdens must inevitably increase II
the power of that party is continued. The OBJ

Of oppression, large portion of the sovereign

Illinois, to be held at Springfield, Ininsis, on
Wednesday, April 18th, 1858, at 12M.
The democracy OF each county are therefore
notified to send delegates to said convention tor

A Sorry Spectacle.

If the general cannot speak he can act,
and a recent account from Washington
shows his abilities as negro minstrel and
Jig dancer. 1t is well that man who is to
be dignifed by the nomination for president
by the radical party, should distinguish him
self in something, if it be no other thing
than niger ministrelsy. The letter writer
of the Chicago Times, at Washington, re-
lates that Gen. Grant, in a condition vulgar
ly called show came you SOP on Sunday

Clerical Rascals.
From the Peoria 1n.l Transcript.

From the Pesria (IlI.) Transcript, Jan. &c,
1t will be Remembered by our readers
that some months ago Rev. Mr. Craig, of Ell
Paso, was arrested on the charge of seduc
ton and bastardy on the person of a Miss.
Mcclellan, of Ell Paso, dwarf and daughter
of Charles Mcclellan, an old and respected
citizen of that place. The case excited great
interest, both from the standing of the par
ties, and from the fact that Mr.. Craig strong
iy protested his innocence, declaring that it
was scheme to extort money from him.
The case has just been investigated before
an ecclesiastical court of his church, the
Methodist Episcopal. This court was held
in Ell Paso. and has been In session several
days. Elder Kent presiding, and has sifted
the matter thoroughly. The court, after a
patient hearing of the facts, have adjudged
him guilty, deprived him of his license to
preach, and recommend that the annual
conference expel him from membership of
| the church. Miss Mcclellan is declared
eneinte by DIR. d. Lewis, the attending phys.
! lcian. The criminal act was performed
| Miss Mcclellan testi6es, many times Her
| sister also testihes that she caught them in
| fdgrante deticto. The criminality seems to
be about evenly divided between the parties.

grief at this action of their husband and ia

Rev. Jason w. Kellogg, formerly pastor
of the Seventh Street methodist church, in
this city, and more recently of Dearborn,
eloped on Thursday night last, with the wife
| of William Moorehouse, wealthy farmer,
living about three miles from Dearborn.
The reverend eloper and his victim first
went to Ypsilanti, when the former first dis
posed of his horses and carriage. and wrote
| a letter to the present incumbent of the
| methodist church at Dearbon. in which he
stated that he should continue to preach, by
pocriticaily adding that he should strive to
| be christian, and expressed the pious hope
| that both should meet in Heaven. Kellogg
left q wife and two children, tfor reasons
