News From Washington.

Washington, 90. Official advices from
Admiral Lauman, commanding the South
Atlantic fleet, dated at Bahia, July 9th, say
that he is preparing to leave that port in the
flagship Lancaster of Rio. The Portsmouth
was at Montevedo expecting to leave for up
Paraguay river.
The ship Enterpe, Capt. Geo. w. Leach,
of New York, was reported leaking June 9TH,
while in latitude $3.50 south, long. AZ west,
and in thirty minutes went down. The Off
GERS and crew took two boats, the Captain
and 10 men in the largest and seven men in
the smaller. After weathering two heavy
gales the large boat made Rio Grande Desue
June Nth, having been two days and nights
without TODD or water. The smaller boat has
not been heard from, but it is supposed they
have been picked up by a passing vessel.
Capt Leach arrived at Bahia July 26th and
will return to New York by the way of Eng
land.

The land agent, Tatum of tile Kiowas,
writes from Fort Sill, August Sd: Kicking
Bird and several chiefs and head men of the
kiowas were at that post on the I'd inst. They
brought in eleven mules to replace in the
post those recently stolen in Texas, and gave
assurance that they wish to live in peace, and
would make no raids in Texas or elsewhere,
and that they will bring in the remainder of
forty-one mules stolen. The mules brought
in are very inferior, and the agent would
keep only two, telling the Indians that they
stole good mules and must return good ones.
He assured them that if they would restore
the mules, and 60 upon their reservation,
nothing would be done with them at present,
but as soon as they made another raid an at
tempt will be made to arrest the leaders Of the
raidng party, and the chiefs with Satana on
his late raid. Agent Tatum expresses the
opinion that the kiowas are in better subjec-
ton now than ever before. Col. ericsson,
commanding at Fort Sill, and Col. Mckenzie
at Fort Richardson, Texas, have for some
time been preparing to make joint move
ment against the Kiowas which is probably
one cause of their coming in, as they I'M
doubtedly observed the movement of the
troops,

HYrocHoSDRIAsIs is one of the most diff
cult to treat successfully of all nervous
diseases. Reasoning with nervous or hypo-
chondriacal and insane persons rarely proves
serviceable. The mind cannot be overcome
while the nervous system is irritable. In
many instances, the derisive laugh at the I'M
fortunate or the more temperate appeal to the
reason is absolutely injurious, by exciting
further irritation in the mind of the sufferer,
who thinks his advisers either unfeeling or
incredulous towards his complaint. Under
the use of FELLOWS COMPOUND SYRUP OF
HYPoPHosPHIrEs there is no longer necessity
for resorting to such treatment
