From the Rondout Freeman. '"

A CLEAR INFERENCE.-It is too true tbat most of the patented medical preparations thrown on the market emanate from men who can lay no just claim to professional educa tl0n, and who are, consequently, totally un- qualified to originate a really valuable prepara- tion. But we have the pleasure of stating that we know of one exception, at least, to this rule. We refer to Dr. Kennedy, of Rondout N. Y., the discoverer and proprietor of the popular medicine entitled the Favorite Reme- dy. He is not stranger in this region of the country, but regular and favorably known physician and surgeon of ROndout, where he has practiced his profession for eight years with degree of success which has surprised not only the general community, but also other members of the medical fraternity. Dr. Ken nedy is graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the city of New York, and was for three years surgeon in the United States army during our late war. He has also been a member for several years of the Ulster County Medical Society. As a surgeon he has no superior in the State-being singularly bold, skillful and unprecedentedly successful in his operations. Is it not fair inference, We ask, that when a surgeon who has operated in SO many vital cases and never lost one ofthem, assures the people that the Favorite Remedy purfies the blood, thereby curing Scrofula anC
 
 Kidney Complaints, Constipation of the Bow els, as well as all that large class of ills pecu liar to women-that they simply take him al hls word and are cured according to promise !: In fact the Doctor himself does not hesitate te admit that part of his success in surgery is duo to the use of the Favorite Remedy in the after treatment of the patient, which preoented the return of the abnormal formations removed by the knife by giving tone and strength to the system of his patients-which had become de. bilitated and weakened by disease.
 In conclusion, we hope that no one who may be suffering from any of the diseases for whicl the Favorite Remedy is recommended vii hesitate moment to secure bottle and tes the truth of what we herein allege. w are willing to pledge our veracity for it tha none will be disappointed or deceived.

A St. Louis gentlemen, whe reached Wash

A St. Louis gentlemen, who reached Wash ingtcn on Tuesday with memorial in regard to the exodus of negroes from the south, has also some interesting documentary evidence of unfair treatmen of which the colored refu- gees complain and which they declare makes it impossible for them to live longer in their old home. Among the papers referred to are the original contracts and accounts current brought from Madison parish, Louisiana, not far from Vicksburg and other sections. These contracts show that the negroes are charged $l0 year rent for land which would hardly sell for that price if put upon the market. The current prices of provision are outrageeusly extortionate, and there is hardly a single arti- cle for which the negroes are not required to pay at least double it's actual value. The price of meal is put down at $2 per hushel, although it has rarely been worth more than $1, even in the summer Molasses is charged at $1.50 a gallon, for which 75 cents would be a large price, and tobacco at fifty cents a plug Gone third of pound) which is worth about 60 cents per pound at retail in the southern states For filling out contract the charge was $2 50 A notary would do the same in New York or New England at price raging from % cents to $1. The payment for these advances was in every case secured by mortgage on or bill of sale of the crop of cotton to be raised by the negro, and proceeds that are entered on the credit side of the account. In almost every instance there was small balance against the colored planter, although if only fair prices had been charged for the provisions, con- siderable balance would have appeared on the other side of the accounts.-N. y.
