Texas Tonic Syrup !
A Vegetable Compound for the Rapid and
Permanent Cure OF
CHILLs AND FEVER, or FEVER
@ AND AGUE!
Every Poison has it Antidote! Every
.ontaa Disease has its Cure! ,oi3

yEyuE PEOPLE OF THE MISSISSIPPI
Valley have long felt the necessity
for. and want of, a safe, certain and relia-
bic remedy, as a substitute for Quinine,
Stryehnine, and other poisonous Drugs, for
the cure of Fever aud Ague, or Chils and
Fever, We claim, and the result will
show, and bear testimony to every unpre-
iudiced mind, that the Texas Tonic Syrup
has supplied this want and accomplished
this purpose. It's Tonic, Alternative and
Antiseptic qualities are such that none can
possibly be disappointed in its effects
Upon its own merits, therefore, it Is sus-
tanned. A single trial is all that is needed
to stamp this remedy as the greatest spec
itic of the sc.
The ingretliments of which this Medicine
is composed are simple productions of ma
ture abonnding upon certain streams in
the State of Texas, and were ever used by
the aborigines of that State as specific
for Fevers of all kinds, and especially Fe-
Yer and Ague, which they never failed to
cure.
A celebrated Physician, acquainted with
these facts, has furnished us his theory
upon this important subject, and hence
the Product properly named TEXAS TON
&c SYRUP, which we now offer to the pub
lie as a specific and~positive cure for Feve.
of how long standing. 81
Having had indubitable evidence If its
prompt and certain effects from the testi-
lnony of a multitude of respectable citi-
zens, among whom is elassed many ofour
best Physicians, we do not hesitate to re-
commend this Preparation in ali cases OF
Fever and Ague aud Chilis and Fever; in
decd, from the facts in our possession OF its
intrinsic value, it would not be too much
for us to state that when the directions
are strictly complied with we warrant /;
cure in every case, where it is tried. 1t is
pleasant to the taste and the cheapest
Medicine in the world. Therefore, in truth
il may be declared the day is not far dis
tapt when it must be appreciated ant
used in every. household where Fever anG
Ague or Chills aud Fever is found to exist

A First Glass Yawp.

The Virginia election has brought
forth nothing so stupendous as this
howl from Wendell Phillips:
"still, while the Chief Justice plots
to bring rebels into power, this shift
less and incapable Administration al
lows State after State to slip out Of it's
hands. 1t is time some one should
sound note of warning. We gave
Johnson six months trial, and are will
ing to wait as long for Grant. We
mean, therefore, to express now only
our serious fears, not our settled dis
trust. When Grant, so absurdly, and
without consultation, flung an Admin
istration at the country, we trembled
at such proof of his unfitness for his
great place. And every hours expe-
tTience with that Administration has
increased our fears. What we demand
of the thoughtless and timid men who
made a mere camp captain our Presi
dent, is that they save us from the
consequences of their mistake by sur
rounding him with men who compre-
bend the hour and are brave enough
to meet it. General Grant has all the
physical courage that the Virginia
campaign of 1865 needed: He has
shown himself too weak and irresolute
to conduct the Virginia campaign of
49,. A soldiers courage is one thing.
General Grant has it. A statesman's
courage is a totally distinct quality
Hitherto Grant has given no evidence
of possessing it. In the camp one Of
his chief merits was that he knew how
to choose his agents admirably. In
civil affairs he has Numbered in his
choice like child. s = - '1' p ''}i

"Until Georgia admits colored men
to their Legislative seats, fill every
Office in tho State with blacks, to make
rebels understood the Government and
keep the balance even. Throw the
whole weight of the National Govern
ment into that scale ia Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi and Texas, which will give
loyal men the rule-loyal men sustain
ed by education, land, political rights,
and by business SO fostered and pro-
tected that it will remodel the STATE. .
s.The nation gropes and feels round
for ajGovernment and grasps only air.
Mr.. President, if you cannot draw
your sword, at least show your hand!
Rebellion is doing great things illegal
ly. Your administration. is doing
nothing strictly according to law. -,
"Thc pilot who sleeps at the helm is
as guilty as lie who deliberately runs
the ship upon Gibraltar. The blood Of
tho murdered loyalists of Georgia is on
the skirts of this Administration. !

How she Enjoy ed the Interview
with GyOtP, Carlyle and
Browning.

Iondon Correspondent New York Herald.l
One dsy this week the Queen sent
word to Dean Stanley that she wished to
nav him a visit at the Desnery, West
minister Abbey, and would be glad to
have certain gentlemen eminent in lit
ersture to meet her. She named
Mr.. Grote, (the historian aud
author Of Plsto). Mr.. Carlyle, Mr..
Browning, and one or two Others. These
favored persons-or was 1t the Q1eea
who must be considered favored ?-were,
| hear, greatly pleased with the inter
vIav w6ich tney had with her M4jesty.
She paid a compliment, in all sincerity,
10 each. She mad read Mr.. Grote's
plato. and expressed her admiration for
II. q'his will be gratifying 10 public
writer not unknown TO New York, who
has called Mr.. Grote's Plato the greatest
book OF the age. The Queen showed
that she was familiarly acquainted with
Mr.. Browning's poems, ana spoke TO him
relative to his work now in course OF
notification the Ring and the B0ok. ;"
She conversed for some little time with
Mr.. Carlyle, and the subject OF pauper-
ism happened to arise. Mr.. Carlyle
avowed bis opinion that there was very
little unavoidable and involuntary pas
periem in England. Her Majesty said
that she was afraid he was mistaken
that nnhappily there was too much evil

dncad nv misfortune, 70 admit OF any
