The End of Four Great Men.

The four men who occupy the
most conspicuous places in the his
tory of the world are Alexander,
Hannibal, Caesar and Bonaparte. =
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy nights of his ambition, with
his temples bound with chaplets Dip
ed in the blood of millions, looked
down upon a conquered world, and
wept that there was not another world
for him to conquer, set city ON
fire and died in a scene of debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the as
constituent and CONSERVATION of
Rome, passed the Alps, and having
put to fight the armies Of the mistress
Of the world, and stripped ''three
bushels of gold rings from the fingers
Of her slaughtered knights" and made
her foundations quake, fled from his
country, being hated by those who
once exultingly united his name to
that of their god, and called him
Hani-Baal, and died at last by poi
son, administered by his own hand,
unlamented and unwept, in a foreign
land.
Caesar, after having conquered
eight hundred cities, and dyeing his
garments in the blood of one million
Of his foes, after having pursued toI
death the only rival he had on earth,
was miserably assassinated by those
he considered his nearest friends, and
n that very place the attainment of
which had been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandates Kings
and Popes obeyed, after having filled
he earth with the terror of his name
after having deluged Europe with
ears and blood, and clothed the world
IN sackcloth-closedhis days in lone
y Punishment, almost literally exlled
rom the world, yet where he could
sometimes see his country's banner
waving over the deep, but which
lid not and could not bring him aid.
Thus these four great men, who
seemed to stand the representatives Of
all those whom the world calls great
these four men, who each in turn
made the earth tremble to it's very
centre by their simple tread, several
ly died-one by intoxication, or, as
was supposed, by poison mingled
with his wine-one a suicide-one
murdered by his friends-and one
a lonely exile How wretched is the
end of all such earthly greatness

TESTIMONY Y.
DYSPEPSIA AND RHEU-
MATISM.
CHEsANING, SAGINAW Co., MICH, |
july Sd. 1858. {

DR.. G. w. Roback, Dear Sir:
Myfather, now about sixty-four
years of age, has been, for the
last iveyears, severely afflicted
with Dyspepsia and Rheuma-
tism, attendedwith generalnerv-
Gus arrangement; indeed, to
such an extent, as to defy the
Medical skill of our best Ply
sicians. And I can truly say,
that [ believe it was reserved
for your Scandinavian Rene
dies to perform what all other
remedies had failed to do,-to
work a radical cure. For, after
taking a Box Of your Blood Pills
and a bottle of Purifier, he began
torecover rapidly; his appetite
returned, the Rheumatic pains
left him, and heis now in the en-
:joyment ofbetter health than he
has enjoyed in the last fifteen
years, and is heavier in flesh
than he ever was before. And /
can not close this without say
ing, that I believe your Rene
dies are all and more than they
are represented.
Yours respectfully,
JAMES r. TERRY.

rhe New York Custom House Frauds
The Government EwIndIed out OF n
AIIli0n.
NEW YORK, Nov. IL.

New YORK, Nov. IL.
The Evening Post says the question
whether Deputy Collector Blatchford,
back frauds, recently brought 10 light
In the New York Custom House, has
been definitely settled by the iuVesti-
cation and. examination OF papers
made at the Custom House, this
afternoon, by Collector Grinnell
and District Attorney Plerrepont
The investigation demonstrated be-
yond doubt that an immense guam
tity OF goods has been removed from
bond upon fraudulent papers, and that
the Government has been defrauded OF
not less than $500. 900. The aggregate
amount may reach $1,000 900. How
deeply Blalchtord Is concerned the
Government officials do not at present
feel justified In making public. The
frauds committed against the Govern.
nlent in the drawback department OF
the custom house, were communicated
in some cases by fraudulent papers,
and In another case by changing the
amounts on which drawbacks were
due. The frauds were conducted
In the boldest possible manner,
and It Is therefore supposed that
some one holding responsible place
under the Government was concerned
In them. Drawbacks were sometimes
obtained TO the amount OF 5000 or $500
for goods alleged to have been shipped
on vessels thar never left port. The
papers on which these claims were COL
lected had to be signed by Mr.. Blatch.
lord, formerly in charge OF the Draw
back Bureau and more recently In
charge OF the public stores. Itls claim.
ed that Mr.. Blatchtord 'feceiVed ten per
cent. Of the frauds, amounting to
$3.50. 900. These are only. part OF the
the frauds, however. District Attorney
Pierrepont Ia making thorough inves.
tigatlon Of the matter and II is proba-
BILE some important developments will
be made In a few days.

CLEVELAND, Nov. II.
The war between the Erie and Allan.
tic and Great Western Railroads has
been transferred TO other points. Gould
after falling In negotiations with Me-
Henry, left for the East via. Akron,
and McHenry quietly departed for
Akron with the intention OF commen.
cling proceedings In the Summit county
Court. Just what these are few daya
will develops. Meanwhile +. A. Lane,
Gould's attorney, has appeared unusu-
ally nervous and excited, and on learn.
ing today that James Fisk, Jr., and
McHenry were In secret correspond
ence, he was heard to use strong lan>
guage about Fisk, and finally took the
evening train TO Akron.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. II.
jay Gould arrived here from Akron
this afternoon, and received an impor.
tRnt and lengthy communication by
telegraph from Lane, attorney for the
Erie Road. He was, advised that his
lieutenant, Fisk, Jr., WAS In Commuul-
cation with McHenTy, and unless be
silenced him mischief would be done,
After that Gould'B countenAuCe was not
serene, and be Is evidently In great
perplexity. He left by the first train
for Elmlra.
AKRON, o., Nov. II.
McHenry has been here day or two,
consulting lawyers about the Atlantic
Great Western Railroad. Yesterday
he was In correspondence by telegraph
vtd. Salamanca with James Fisk OF the
Erie road, with whom he seems 10 be
on good terms. It is rumored that I'm.
portant aid may be rendered The En-
glish stockholders by him in the pro-
posed suit against the Erie managers.
Has he deserted Gould for McHenry p
is the question. Further interest was
excited this evening by the arrival
Of Lane, Gould's Attorney, who will
try to out manouvere McHenry before
the Court. IT'S said that the defense
will attempt to show that the Atlantic
q Great Western, is in possession OF
Gould as Receiver, by appointment Of
the Court at Akron, few months
ago, In the case Of the suits against
the road, which suits are still pending.
The opinion here is that Gould is In u
tight place, and that the Atlantic &
Great Western, will be restored to the
control OF McHenry. For the benefit Of
the stockholders, the Court is sitting
this evening.
