CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

Dec. 9.-SENATE.-The business of the
Senate on Friday was unimportant. Among
the resolutions introduced was one by Cas-
serly, enquiring into the action of the army
and navy during the past year in aiding
in enforcing the revenue laws, or assisting in
preserving order at State or Federal cleo
tions, guarding Government pests, &C.. and
upon whose representation the army and
navy was thus employed. A resolution, pre-
viously offered by Ross, directing the investi-
CATION into the alleged frauds in the sale of
lands in the Miami Indian Reservation, was
adopted. Bills were introduced-By Spence
To reduce the number of certain officers in
the navy, and providing for the discontin-
uance of the offices of Admiral and Vice
Admiral after vacancies occur in same. BY
Chandler-To enable the jackson, Lansing
and Saginaw Railroad Company to change
the northern terminus of its road from Trav-
erse Bay to the Straits of Mackinac. Re
ferred. Adjourned to Dec. IL.
Dec. 12.-SENATE.-A large number of
unimportant bills were introduced and re-
ferred to their proper committees. Among
the resolutions introduced was the following,
by Schurz Resolved, That the disqualified
tons and disabilities imposed upon persons
lately in rebellion against the Government of
the United States were dictated by impera-
6ve public necessities, and not by spirit of
hatred or vindictiveness and that as soon as
such public necessities cease, due regard for
the fundamental principles of our system of
government, as well as every consideration
of sound craftsmanship, demand the removal
of those disqualifications and disabilities.
Under the rule recently adopted, the Senate
took up calendar, general, and special orders,

Faith Well Founded.

In old times at the commencement of every season,
it the fashion to take strong cathartic safe
guard against a change of temperature. 1t was a
than useless practice. The people Of our day
understand the matter better Instead of depicting the
system they reinforce it. In the method they adopt
they exhibit q wise discrimination. Instead of re-
sorting to the vtated stimuants of commerce. any
of the compounds derived from them-they put their
faith in the only absolutely pure nvigoran procurabe
in the market-Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Their
faith is well founded. Never has any tonic medicine
been prepared with such scrupulous precision and con-
scientious care. 1t is vegetable compound of which
every ingredient is sound, wholesome, and medicinal
in the true sense of the word. Now, we have three
prominent national complaints 0ne-half of the
adult population of the United States suffer more or
ess-either from diseases of the stomach, derange-
ments of the liver affections of the kidneys. In no
other land under Heaven these maades general
in this country, and Hosetters Bitters is specific
for them ALL unless organic in their origin and there
fore, beyond cure. And let those who fortunate
enough to be exempt from them at present understand
enc great fact viz that occasional of this vital
izing tonic will as certainly prevent them as the sun
will prevent the earth from freezing where its genial
beams descend.

as much apple as meat; other ingredi-
ents, mace, cinnamon, q few cloves,
raisiiis, currants, and citron if you like;
a little salt, some boiled cider and a
mixture of sugar and molasses for
sweetening; little lemon gives added
flavor. Put all the ingredients over the
fire and let simmer an hour. After cool,
put in the pans and bake with modera-
ton.
IRRIGATING MEADows.-Some people
seem to think that the chief object m
irrigating grass land is to furnish water
during the dry, hot weather of summer.
In some arid climates this is the case
but as general rule the benefits Of irri-
cation are derived from water flowing
on the land during the late fall, winter,
and early spring months. And there
are many places where sidehill meadows
might be easily irrigated from streams
which run only at three seasons OF the
year. We have seen a rude dam that,
thrown across such stream, directed
the water over several acres of grass
land and caused it to produce heavy
crops of hay. Now is the time to at
tend to this matter. Build a dam high
enough to cause the water to over flow,
running in thin sheet over the land.
This is rude method of irrigation, and
very inadequate description of it; but
still may induce some of our readers to
avail themselves of the water which
now runs uselessly down their hill-sides
at this season of the year and in the
spring.
Few things would pay grain growing
farmer better than to raise pease for his
pigs. No matter how "buggy" the peas
may be, the bugs or beetles remain in
the peas until about the first of Novem-
Der and when the peas are fed out be-
fore this time, the pigs will eat peas and
bugs together, and there will be little
loss. Nothing makes firmer or better
pork and lard than peas, and the man
ure from pea fed pigs is exceedingly
rich. A heavy crop of peas, too, is. q
capital crop to precede winter wheat

ONE marked difference in English and
American farming is forcibly presented
by correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman in the statement that an English
tenant farmer, liable to be dispossessed
of his place on six months notice, buys
corn brought 5000 miles with which tc
fatten animals, doing this chiefly for the
sake of the manure, while an American
farmer owning the land he works, will
sell even his hay and feeds no animals
for the purpose of enriching his owr
land.

The Chinese Measure of Discovering
Hidden Treasure.

A resident at Ningpo writes to Once a
Week: "The credulity and superstition
of the Chinese know no bounds strik-
ing instance of the former having just
been the main cause of the terrible
Tien-Tsin tragedy, and the universal
disquietude that pervades every part of
China-ninety-n nine out of every hun
bred Cinnamon firmly believing that
foreigners in general, but the Roman
Catholics in particular, kidnap children
for the sake of their eyes, hearts, and
other parts, to be used in compromising
potent drug. The following horrible
story has been related to me as a solemn
fact by Chinaman, who declares that
he was an eyewitness of the latter part
of what is here written: Some years
ago, when the Tai Ping rebels were de-
vastating the most fruitful provinces of
China, novel plan was invented for
discovering the money and other treas
ure concealed by the terrified merchants
and people on the first warning of the
approach of the rebels. Some ingenious
Tai Ping thought within himself that,
as men are all devout worshippers of
gold and silver, something composed
from man would, in all probability, be
more efficacious than anything else in
discovering hidden treasure, without
putting men to the pains of pulling
down each separate brick of anyisus-
pected place, to get at the coveted
hoard. He therefore seized the first
prisoner he could lay hands on, and
quietly proceeded to cut him up and
put him into large cauldron, wherein
he was allowed to simmer until a suffi
cient coating of oil had collected on the
surface this was carefully skinned off,
and then q roll of cloth was spread out
soaked in the human oil, after which it
was tightly rolled up and converted into
torch. The rebel then lit his torch,
and, ia fever of expectation, started
in quest of likely house. Having
found one to his taste, he entered, and
slowly waved his torch in all directions,
intently watching the flame, which
shortly commenced fickering--like a
| mans fingers .clutching at gold The
rebel was overjoyed at this sight, and
| felt sure that this was sign that treas
ure was concealed exactly where the
torch fiickered; he accordingly set to
work and pulled down that part of the
| wall, ana sure enough tnefe discovered
a goodly hoard of silver. This plan was
afterward universally adopted in the
Tai Ping camp, and became so notorious
that on an imperial officer-in whose
suit was my informant-taking one OF
the rebels prisoner, he questioned him
as to the truth of the report, remarking,
at the same time, that he could not pos
sibly believe it. The prisoner declared
that such was their method of discover
ing hidden treasure. Whereupon the
officer replied that, as the prisoner per
sisted in vouching for the truth of the
report he would do himself the pleasure
of testing his truth or falsehood on his
pe1Son. The prisoner was Immediately
killed, cooked, and converted into a
torch, and used with the greatest sue
cess p"

MY Wife and L.

A sky of azure, bit of heaven,
An hour of bliss to mortals given,
A church, dainty dress by my side.
A solemn service, q kiss-a bride,
Then thronging friends
A last good bye;
- And so we are married
Ny wife and l.
Long hours of rapture. long days of joy,
Time passing unheeded-without alloy,
A tour when everything looks its best
A river in autumn glory dressed;
No thought of trouble,
Nor care, nor sigh.
For we are SO happy
My wife and /.
A slow awaking, as from dream
A drifting once more into life-work' 6 stream.
A little respite from toll, and then
The world with its hopes and fears again.
But home and a love
That shall last for aye.
For now we are settled a..
My wife and I.
And as hours vanish in times quick fight.
And our life's fair morning grows to night,
As carking cares with our pleasures stay,
And our heads are streaked with the silvery gray,
Yet shall love increase
AS the days 60 by;
And we live for each other
My wife and I.

TO PHYSICIANS.
NEW YORK, August Is, 1868.

Allow me to call your attention to my
PREPARATION OF COMPOUND EX-
TRACT BUCHU. The component parts are
BUCHU, Lone LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER .
BERRIES.
MODE OF PREPARATIoN.-Buchu, in vacuo,
Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form fine
gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with
spirits obtained from Juniper Berries; very
little sugar is used, and small proportion of
spirit. 1t is more palatable than any now in
use.
Buchu as prepared by druggists is of dark
color. 1t is plant that enits its fragrance
the action of flame destroys this (its active
principle), leaving dark and glutinous de.
coction. Mine is the color of ingredients.
The Buchu in my preparation predominates; :
the smallest quantity of the other ingredients
are added to prevent fermentation upon in
spection it will be found not to be Tincture
as made in Pharmacopea, nor is it Syrup
and therefore can be used in cases where fe-
yer or inflammation exists. In this you have
the knowledge of the ingredients and the

Hoping that you will favor it with trial,
and that upon inspection, it will meet with
your appreciation, G.

Gen. Chausey, says: "Chausey con-
tinues to resist the attack of Prince
Frederick Charles, and is taking many
prisoners, and inflicting heavy losses on
the enemy"
-Valuables and money are arriving
at Havre to be shipped abroad. The
expulsion of Germans has been decided
upon, and it is impossible to defend

feared the heights will command Havre.
IL Is believed that the city can stand the

been removed back to LIE Vert Gallant.
The loss OF Germans in the sorties

Nine hundred shares of Valley Levee
were sold yesterday at SO 124; 200 at

evening 100 shares were disposed Of at

one. Before the day closed it was offered
at eighty-fve cents to eighty bid.
The market was generally dull under
the combined depressing influences Of
Slaughterhouse and the weather. Lottery
stock, however, more than maintains it's
old position, and may be regarded as
among the substantial securities of the
day. 1t is held at S5l, and may do better
as the semi-annual dividend will soon fall
due. The $50, 900 prize not having been
drawn at the last monthly drawing, the
dividend will probably be large.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Sweet are the uses of adversely some
times, but free comment on Slaughter
house fluctuations and tribulations does
not invariably strike our Cnrondelet street
friends as anything sweet or amusing. 1t
can not be helped. We must talk plainly
and freely or not at all. The operations of
our financiers are proper matters for crit
cism and report, and criticism and report
would be valueless if they were not un-
trammeled and impartial. If the bulls or
the bears afford a chance for ''frst rate
notice." they shall have it. and it shall be
as nearly up to the mark as we can make
it-without fear and without favor. Are
we not right, Messieurs?
Slaughterhouse yesterday had not very
lively experience. People walked up gen.
orally with recollection of rather meagre
Sunday dinners. These recollections were
bitter and their bitterness was exasperated
by the stories of hundreds of beeves hung
up, per injunction, to waste their sweet
ness on the city air. News of bill in
chancery in the United States Circuit
Court, covering an Injunction against the
Slaughterhouse folks and the city authori-
ties, was soon bruited, then gained Gre
dence and was finally confirmed by anxious
inquirers who sifted the matter to the bot
tom. Then story made Roadway that
the butchers, whose stock in trade had
been seized by the Metropolitan police,
were about to sue in all directions for
damages for the seizure on Saturday eve
ming Of carts, horses and meat. This
combination of unpleasantness did not
help the street value of the stock; but it
is no more than fair to say that it held its
own remarkably well under the circum-
stauces.
The following quotations were reported
to US, and, from the character of our in
formants, We are bound to believe them
all genuine, and that they do not include
any '.jack-knife' operations. (Some of our
friends of the press and the street will
please take notice. A lot of So shares
were sold at s26; resold at s25 S7I sold
again at S26 25; and again at s27.

We are not certain as to the correctness of

THE JACKSON RAILROAD CONTEST.

The contest that has been long going
on for the management of this road, seems
like drawing to close. Mr.. McComb,
who stands at the head Of the new Board
of Directors, has waged such sharp and
decisive warfare against the old board, at
the head of which stands the almost in
superable Beauregard, tina. victory seems
at last likely to crown the efforts of the
stalwart opponent of the hero of Bull Run.
The Eighth District Court is the battle
ground, and yesterday the array of foemen,
in the way of most learned counsel, was
heavy indeed; and the weapons used
might well be styled heavy artillery.
Mr.. Billings, of the law firm of Billings,
Hughes & Co.. opened the case in his best
style of attack ON the weak Notifications
of the enemy, showing, by stubborn facts
and the law bearing upon the case, that
the old board had not even the vestige Of
right to sustain it in its monstrous pre-
tensions to the further management of the
affairs Of the Jackson Railroad. Mr.. Phil
lips, of counsel for the Beauregard board
followed Mr.. Billings, and repealed as we'll
as ne could his vigorous attack on the pre-
tensions of the old board. Mr.. Phillips is
from Mississippi, and considering that
he had to fight the battle without the
hope OF reinforcement of any
kind, the Freeman guns being
early silenced, he repealed with
what force he possessed, aud as we'll as he
could, the well directed fire of his oppo.
nents, but eventually falling in between
two fires, he was literally swept away. T.
J. Semmes, Esq, followed Attorney Phil.
lips in most able, logical and exhaustive
argument in defense of McComb and the
new board, clearly establishing by the
facts and the law bearing upon the case,
that the old board were not only intruders
in the matter of this controversy, but also
usurpers, instead of the new board, as
charged by General Beauregard. Mr..
Semmes attacked all the strong points
made by the able Mississippi attorney,
and carried them by storm. He showed
that McComb had acted as bold. honora-
BILE and skillful adversary, and that he had
beaten General Beauregard and the old
board with their own weapons. The ar
gument being concluded, the case was
submitted last evening to Judge Dibble for
decision, which will be looked for with
interest by the public.
