Udolpho Wolfe, Esq.
DEAR SIR: The want of pure Wines and
Liquors, for medicinal purposes, has been
long felt by the profession, and thousands
or Nves have been sacrificed by the use of
adulterated articles. Delrium tremens.
and other diseases of the brain and nerves,
SO rife IN this country, are very rare in
Europe; owing, in n great degree, to the
difference in the purity OF the spirits sold.
we have tested the several articles i'm
ported and sold by YOU, including vour
Gin, which you sell under the name of Aro-
matlc Schiedam Schnapps, which we con-
slider justly entitled to the high reputation
1t has acquired in this country; aid, from
ter, .yonr Bottled Wines and Iio,iors
shouio meet with the same demand
we would recommend you to appoint
some or the respectable apothecaries in
different parts of the city as agents for the
sale OF your Brandies and Wines, where
the profession can obtain the same when
needed for medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success in your new enter
prise we remain your obedient servants.

1t is reported in general terms that the
experimental firing at Fortress Monroe has
resulted in proving the artillery used superior
to the granite and iron targets. More de-
tailed statements will be awaited with
interest. Wonderful as we're the achievements
of our improved ordnance during the war, in
preaching at long range forts deemed impreg-
nable, there was still widespread conviction
that grave mistakes had been made and much
money squandered in great guns for both land
and naval service. The necessities of the case
then precluded elaborate Investigations, and
large orders for ornaments were given on the
faith of hasty and insufficient tests. Now we
have ample time to determine, by experiments
like these at Fortress Monroe, precisely what
is the best result Of the worlds progress in
the science of gunnery, before further heavy
expenditures are made.

The reported larceny of eight million dollars
is the latest sensation in the records of
thievery concerning the Erie Railroad Our
columns contain all that is known thus far of
the mysterious dOngs at midnight about the
Erie building, and crossings at litteused ferries
and starting of unusual trains, and signallings
and lodgings, and miscellaneous muddle,
which have led to the belief that one of the
Erie Receivers is off to parts unknown with
the money, and the other is left to conduct his
bootless suit in the Courts. We suggest to in
terested parties that there are left some old
rails, some locomotives, and some cars that
might still be stolen

Several wears, experience Of the Licens. IA,

Several years experience Of the License Law
in Massachusetts, has resulted in increasing
the number of liquor shops in Boston from l,sp
to $500, and the number in the State in liks
proportion. The good people of Massachusetts
think the License law has had a fair trial, and
on the whole has failed so signally as to con-
vert the previous partial failure Of the Pro-
hibitory law into a comparative success On
the square issue between License and Prohbi'
ton they have elected an oyerwhelmln;
majority of Prohibitionists to the next Genen
Assembly, and the result viii be repeal Of
the License law and q return to Prohibition.

hibitory policy, and on reconsideration b"
reaffirmed it. We think this will clnch the
matter for the present generation. II the con-

The Governor of South Carolina, in his mes
sage to the Legislature, presented yesterday,
makes pleasant recognition of the altered tenn
per now displayed by Wade Hampton and the
like Rebel leaders, and asks that it be met by
generous legislation looking to the removal of
political disabilities. Universal amnesty and
impartial suffrage-freed from Mr.. Johnsons
meddlesome effort to encourage the spirit of
strife-meht long ago have given peace to this
foremost of the Rebel States. We have faith
that they will do it now. and in that faith we
cordially commend the disposition manifested
by Gov. Scott.

Warfare with the Indians differs 50 much
from warfare among civilized nations, that tia
obvious defect of Gen. Sheridans plan Of
operations detailed in another column a
Judged by the rules Of the books, may prove
its chief merit. Nothing is more severely con.
demned by the commonest maxims Of the ar.
of war than the use of isolated columns, con.
vcrging against common foe, where each Of
the columns is not able to take care Of Itself
against a concentration of the enemy. Bu.
masters of the art of war have often won their
most brilliant victories by rising above ia
rules, and knowing how to obey their spirit
while breaking their letter. So brilliant sOl.
der as Sheridan is not dividing petty fora
of 5000 cavalry into eight separate columns.
with independent bases of supply aud lines Of
action, without full assurance that he hs
guarded against the dangers of surprise and
defeat in detail.

The Independent has added nearly fourth
to its previously generous proportions; SO that
it is now the largest weekly-at least, the
largest religious weekly-n the world while
its circulation and advertising are each with

cess was ever before achieved in the
attempt to make religion prominent
topic in a popular newspaper-to make lire
journal devoted to the defense and incubation
of Christianity as foremost among the vital
forces whereby the Political and Social as well
as the Moral world is impelled and governed
Signal ability, enterprise, lberality, as well as
tact and perseverance, were required to
build up such journal and these
are happily combined in the editorial
and business conduct of The Independ-

The mail from Central America brings the
news of the overthrow of the lawful Govern
ment of Costa Rica. The reasons assigned by
the revolutionists for this sudden and unex-
pected revolution are, as usual, of the most
frivolous kind. President Castro is charged
with having been unpopular, and with using
the whole influence of the Government in be-
half of a favorite candidate at the coming
Presidential election. The revolution was of
short duration. entirely successful, and resulted
in placing DR.. Jiminez, former President Of
the Republic, Professionally in the Presidential
chair

sistence, has marched his celestial diplomatists
into the very presence of Royalty, and after

Windsor Castle, with excellent eating first and
the festive reason and the flowing soul after
ward. Lord Stanley said the handsomest pos

suppose that Mr. Burlingame said the hand
soonest possible things of Lord Stanley his
