This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
ethcacious medicine vet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it il
still SO effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun.
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
We need do no gpre than to assure the
.nhic that the best qualities it has ever
= 'ss s5a,l are strictly maintained.

Ayers Ague Cure.

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever.
PERIODICAL or Biious FaTer ac and indesd
all the affections which arise from nnalari-
Gus, marsh, or miasnatic poisons.
This is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rleus districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yetdiscoveFed forthe
cure Of Intermittents is that it>contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
f.. rom danger ofqufnism or any injurious effects,
ana are as healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that = tthas gained the reputation of being infal-
hble = Itcan, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Aguo of the West, and the Chilis and Fever Of
the South. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
IN the blood, and frees the system from its infu-
ence, SO that fever and ague, shakes or chlls,
once broken up by it, do not return until . the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety Of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal

of the Stomach, all of which become internlit.
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayers AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. AS
preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays tho development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp.
toms. Travellers anil temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remarls
able cures whore other medicines fail.

gramme.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. l9.-Col. w. p. Adair, assist
ant principal chief of the Che rokee Indians
arrived here to-day, with delegation from
his nation, en- route for Washington. The
colonel says the delegation is instructed by the
council Of the nation to oppose any change of
government over them, and to collect from the
government very large sums due the Cherokees
for their lands in Indian Territory, west of the
Arkansas river. They also expect to arrange
with the government to prevent any deprecia.
tionin the principal and interest of their
funds, to fix the status of colored
people in the nation and to expel intruders
from their territory, of whom the colonel SAYS
there are thousands in the nation. he says
there not ten Indians in the nation who
favor the establishment of territorial govern
ment over them, and his people are in as good,
better, condition as those of adjoining
States. Owing to the severe drought last sum-
mer his people failed to raise any grain, and
he says he will have to arrange for loan of
money from the government to purchase
territorial government over the Indian Ter
ritery, he says it will be opposed to the bitter
end by all civilized tribes, even
to the employment of physical
force. These tribes, including the Cberokees,
Chootaws, Ohickasaws, Creeks, Seminoles,
Osages Wyandottes, seneoas, Delawares, Shaw
nces and several others, can raise, be says,
some $4,000 soldiers good fighting men, most
of whom fought on both sides during the late
war. There are thirty-oight nations and tribes
and parts of tribes in the Indian Territory, all
of whom would join in opposition to the pro-
posed change of the government. He eays the
opposition throughout the territory is not only
strong, but bitter and determined; that in
case of conflict he doubts the ability of the
United States army to subdue the Indians.
He also says that in case of rupture there
would be terrible scene of b]oodshcd on
the borders of adjoining States, and shudders
to contemplate the result.

there is always as much open ground in
readiness as will be required for the first
harvest. Truly this State is an Arcadia for
the husbandman with its rich soil, its dry
climate, its rare freedom from surface diff
ticulties, its network of railways, its school
system, its facilities for exporting, and its
prodigious activity. Well might w. n.
Seward calculate, standing on the capital of
st. Paul in 1860: ~ now believe that the
ultimate last seat of government on this
great continent will be found somewhere,
within circle or radius not far from the
spot on which I now stand, at tho head of
navigation on tho Mississippi" He was too
sanguine, perhaps, but the scene was one to
lnfuse great hopes into the observnnt mind.

HOUSE RULES.
CHANGES PROPOSED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Thc principal chang
es made by the committee on revision Of the
rules of the House arc as follows:
The committee nbolishes the present system
OF call on committees, which gives to each
committee two morning hours in which to dis
pose of its business, and in lieu thereof pro-
pose that oil reports of committees submitted
in the morning hour be referred to the calen-
dar without alton.
Precedence is given to bills in committee of
the whole house on the state Of tho union and
for raising revenue and general appropriation
bills. Then other business on its calendar is
disposed of in order subject to the decision of
the house.
When an objection is made to the considera-
ton of bill, new calendar is created, called
the House calendar, to which are referred all
public bills not appropriatng money.
No change Is made in regard to the private
calendar, except that the objection and consid-
Grafton of days are wiped out, all bills being
considered in their regular order.
The right to report ut any time con ferred
upon the committees of banking and currency
and coinage, weights and measures, at the last
SESSION is revoked, and they are called as other
committees. Only the committees on elec-
lions, appropriations, printing accounts and
enrolled bills3 possess the right to report at
any time
The only importan; change made with re-
spect to powers aud duties Of committee, is to
take from committee on commerce the river
and harbor bill, after it is matured, and refer
it to committee on appropriations for revision
rs to the amount to be appropriated for speci-
nc purposes. The commerce committee, for
some years past, without authority or rule,
have reported annually the river and harbor
bill to the House, although it is not one Of the
general appropriation bills. This codi6cation,
tadopted, will make it hereafter one of tho
general appropriation bills.
Tho of mir To =,
stricted in tho least, but on the contrary is en-.
larged by the addition of a motion to take re-
cess, which motion is made in order at any
time.
The rulo relating to the previous question
has been changed so IA to permit it to be or
dercd on a section of a bill or an amendment
to a bill.
The rule requiring member to vote remains
substantially intact, the commission being
unable to agree upon any proposition
compelling members to vote.
change is made in the effect of motion
to reconsider, by taking it out of the power of
member to prevent final action on measure
by entering motion to reconsider during the
last hours of the session.
changed so as to provide for second call OF

sively for about a minute after the drop fell.
In about ten minutes the doctors pronounced

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. c..
January 20, 1863.-MGor-G General Hooker
General: have placed you at the head
of the Army of the Potomac. OF course
have done this upon what appears to me to
be sufficient reasons, and yell think it best
for you to know that there are some things
in regard to which am not quite satisfied
with you. I believe you to be a brave and
skillful soldier, which, of course, like. I
also believe you do not mix politics with
your profession, in which you are right. You
have confidence IN yourself, which is vala-
BILE if not an indispensable quail
ty. You are ambitious, which, within reas-
enable bounds, does good rather than harm.
But think that during Gen. Burnside's
command OF the army you have taken coun-
ooA Va youA nuOlGlOu duu COWarCoQ him as
much as you could, in which you did great
wrong both to the country and most
meritorious and honorable brother officer.
I have heard, in such way as to
believe it, of your recently saying
that both the army and the gov
eminent needed dictator. OF course it was
not for this, but in spite of it, that have
given you command. Only those generals
who gain successes can set up as dictators.
What now ask of you is military success,
and will risk the dictatorship. The Gov
eminent will support you to the utmost of
its ability, which is neither more nor
less than it has done and will do
for all commanders. much. fear
the spirit you have aided to in
fuse into the army, of criticising their com
mander and withholding confidence from
him, will now turn upon you. I shall as
slst you as far as 1 can to put it down.
Neither you nor Napoleon, if he were alive
again, could get any good out of an army
while such spirit prevails in it. And now,
beware of rashness! beware of rashness! but
with energy and sleepless vigilance 90 for
ward and give US victories.
Yours very truly, AL1soo1N.

RAILROAD COLLISION.

Two Freight Trains on tho st. Paul and
Manitoba II. II. Como Together Near
ThirdIstreet-Two Men SlightlyInjured.
At quarter to three O'Clock this morning,
two freight trains on the st. Paul & Manitoba
railroad, one going out the other coming in,
collided just east of the Third street crossing.
The outgoing train, it appears, had just started
ahead, and such was the force of the incoming
train as not only to bring it to full stop but
to actually force it backward, causing the ca
boose to leave the track and force it partly
through car standing on another track. In
this caboose Mr.. J. F. Smith, conductor, was
caught by the broken timbers, and it was sup
posed at first, had received serious injuries.
DIR. Hagan was promptly summoned, but by
the time he reached his patient he had recov-
cred the use of his limbs, and an examination
showed only slight bruises. Mr.. Thomas Fin
negan who was bound for Minneapolis, suffered
a confusion of his left foot, from which he
will probably suffer several days. No one else
was injured as far as can be ascertained at this
writing. Both engines were pretty badly
wrecked, as also two or three cars.
