WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. April 30.-All assistant
treasurers throughout the United States
have been authorized to exchange silver
dollars for greenbacks,
The apprehensions in several quarters
of serious Indian troubles with the Indians
this summer are not thought to be ground
less. The war department is in receipt OF
communications from parties whose
opinions are entitled to earnest attention,
to the effect that warlike movements are
clearly discernable on the part of several
tribes. A long letter to this effect wal
received by Secretary McCrary within the
past week and referred by the secretary t
the general of the army for his considera
ton.
The secretary of the treasury has ap
pointed as exp perts fer the purpose o
furnishing information to the department
in regard to the internal commerce OF tn
United States, Willard @. Flagg, of Lii
nois, and a number of other prominen
gentlemen, representing every section G
the union.

BROWNSVILLE, May l. On Friday last,
about two hundred men assembled at
Lanorias, about Is miles from here on the
Corpus Christie road, from there they
marched to Sangsidors on the riven reach
ing there about 3 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. Here about SO men attempted to
cross the Rio Grande into Mexico, they
we're led by Raphael Lera. They were
met by party Of regulars from Mata-
moras, and skirmish ensued which
resulted in the discontinue of the con-
spirators, of whom were made prisoners,
two wounded, and two killed, and three
others were drowned 10 the river 10 their
efforts to recrOss.
1t is thought the remainder of the band
must have gone further up the river before
attempting to cross. 1t is understood the
object of the raid was to intercept and
capture Gen Canales, who is on his way
from heyuosa to Matamoras. These
serdistasto were under the leadership oi
Coils. Murray and Christie Carlos Denockt
and Raphael Sierra Two of those cap.
tured were living 10 this city.

SPECIAL NcTTcES.

The following is from the principal accountant of
the wealthy and highly respectable house of
Messrs. Volts 81 Bro, of this CITY, and presents
ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL CURES in the
annals of medical history;
Mr.. II. G, Farrell-Dear Sir: Actuated by a
sense Of gratefulness, submit the following as an
instance of the utility of your great medicine My
child, three years old, was suddenly attacked with
| terrible disease, which In less than six hours
prostrated it to utter helplessness The limbs be-
came go rigid that not joint could be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
OF feeling; the eyes fixed, purtally closed and
altogether blind following this was deafness to all
sounds: the spine became contracted and curved
that when lying on its back the head and heels
only touched Indeed, the child presented every
appearance of being dead. Immediately on the at
tack, the family physician YVES called IN, and for
three weeks he abored to restore it to feeling but
all in vain, although ii was blistered dozen
times and varicns rubefacient Lniments appIied.
consultation of physicians was then held but to
no purpose, the case was then brought before the
Medical Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been done, and the doctor
then told me he could do nothing more. We
then commenced applying your Liniment freely
over the entire length of the spine, and you may
imagine parents joy, when, after few applica
tions, returning animation was apparent, and Il
rapidly recovered with the exception of the sight
which did not become perfect for near a month
The child is now healthy and robust as can be
Five other cases Of the same kind occurred pre-
viously in my neighborhood, all of which died
when there is no doubt il your llnimeEt had beeI
used they would have recovered.
