The SKEPTICAL CoNvINCED.-Every advance
IN Medicine, every new remedy has encoun-
tered an opposition, which is the test of truth.
Galen and Jenner only were believed when
they had proved their discoveries against or,
position. But men are observing, and benefits
always make believers. No incredulitv can
stand the silent argument of good results.
When DR.. Walker proclaimed that he had pro-
duced from the medicinal herbs of California an
Elixir that would regenerate the sinking sys-
tenn and cure diseases not organic, the incred-
ulous shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BITTERs is now the Standard Restorative of
the Western World. The truth could not be
resisted. Under the operation of the new
remedy, Dyspeptics regained their health, ap-
petite and strength, the Bilious and Consti-
pated were relieved of every distressing symp-
tom; the Consumptive and Rheumatic rapidly
recovered; Intermittent and Remittent Fevers
were broken up; the faint of Scrofula was
eradlcated! Who could gainsay facts like
these! Not even the Faculty. Skepticism
was routed. All doubts as to the claims of
the bltters to the first place in the first rank
OF modern medicines were sienced, and this
WONDERFUL preparation is to-day the most pop
ular Tonic, Alternative, and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America In common with
other Journalists. we are free to add our testi-
mony to this remedy. 1t is domestic medi-
cine, and no household should be without it.

CoNsUMPTION.-For the cure of this dis
tressing disease there has been no medicine
yet discovered that can show more evidence of
real merit than Aliens Lung Balsam. This
unequaled expectorant for curing consump-
ton, and all diseases leading to it, such as
affections of the throat, lungs, and all dis
eases of the pulmonary organs, is introduced
to the suffering public after its merits for the
cure OF such diseases have been fully tested
by the medical faculty. The Balsam is, con-
sequently, recommended by physicians who
have become acquainted with its great sue

New ORLEANS, Sept. "a. 1873.
Fello.c- Citizens Of Louisiana The Commit
tee of Seventy has called a Mass Convention
to assemble in this city On the fourth Monday
of November next.
The time is fast approaching when the cause
of the people OF this State will again be pre-
sented to Congress for final adjustment and
settlement, and your committee moved by pro-
found convictions looking to the we'll being of
the entire people of this commonwealth. have
concluded that Convention of the people oi
the State would be the most acceptable ME.
diun for an appropriate presentation to the
Congress OF the nation of the alarming and
unprecedented outrages committed against
the rights and liberties of the people of this
State, by which government never elected
by their suffrage has been set up and estab.
hshed by fraud and force over them.
Elect to this Convention your tried, truest,
and ablest men, and let us make one united
and combined effort to rescue our State from
the grasp of the spectators and usurpers.
Let us make ut least one last grand effort
people thereof, to full appreciation of the
means and methods, employed under Federal
auspices. that throttled the State Government
of Louisiana.
We owe this much to ourselves and to those
to come after us.
We desire to present the question, fairly
and squarely, to the Congress and to all the
people of this American Union, whether or
not it is permissible under our form of govern
ment, for an inferior United States Judge,
supported by United States soldiers and the
Chief Executive of the nation, without refer
ence to and in defiance of the will of the peo-
pie as expressed by the ballot, to pull down
one State Government and set up another iii
it's stead
Should Congress repudiate such reprehensi-
BILE practices, we merely will obtain our rights /;
ON the other hand, should Congress permit
such practices to go unrebuked, we will then
know our status; know that despotism has
usurped the place of constitutional govern
ment, and the quicker we know it the better.
Let the people of this State take an active
part in their own cause, which is the cause Of
every State in the Union, and You may then
rest assured that all will yet be we'll.
BY order of the Committee of Seventy.

THE AMERICAN VALLEY or DEATH. - The
Valley Of Death--a spot almost as terrible as
the prophets valley of dry bones-lies just
north of the old Mormon road to California,
a region thirty miles long by thirty broad,
and surrounded, except at two points, by in
accessible mountains Il IS totally devoid OF
water and vegetation, and the shadow of a
bird or wild beast never darkens its white,
glaring sands. The Kansas Pacific Railroad
engineers discovered it, and also some papers
which show the fate of the s'lost Montgomery
train, which came south from Salt Lake, in
1850 guided by Mormon. When near Deaths
Valley, some came TO the conclusion that the
Mormon knew nothing about the country, so
they apnOinted one Of their number q leader.
and broke off from the party. The leader
turned due west; so, with the people and wag-
ons and floeiks. he travelled three days, and
then descended into the broad valley, whose
treacher0ug mirage promised water. they
reached the centre, but only the Whlte sand,
bounded by scorching peaks met their gaze.
Around the valley they wandered, and one by
one the men died, and the painting focks
stretched themselves in death under tue hot
sun. Then the children, crying for water,
died gG their mothers breasts, and, with swei-
len tongues and burning vifals, the mothers
followed. Wagon after wagon WIS abandoned,
and strong men tnttered, and raved, and died.
After a weeks wandering, dozen survivors
found some water in the hollow Of o rock in
the mountain. 1t lasted but q short time, when
sllI persisted but twos who escaped out of the
valley, ana followed the trail Of their former
companions Eighty-seveI families, with hum

after twenty-tlree years, the wagons stansi,
