To the Editor of the News : I regret to notice that your Mercurial co tem? porary in its remarks on the recent elect-on of President of the Memphis and Charleston Rail? road, does great injustice to the successful can? didate (Major M. J. Wicks) and to his able and efficient predecessor (Col. Sam. Tate), in im? puting to them hostility or antagonism to Charleston. None who are acquainted with Colonel Beirne will detract from the compli? ment paid him, which would seem to he the principal object of the article ; but no judicious and intelligent friend would claim for him equality with Major Wicks in the special quali? fications calculated to make an efficient and successful railroad president. The opposition was more local than personal-Memphis against Hunt87ille-and the Charleston directors threw their votes in favor of the latter. The Mercury copies a Huntsville journal's account of the matter, with comments and inferences of its own, which, upon properly informing itself, it will ascertain were as unjust se they were un? founded. Railroads, Uko other corporations, are ex? pected to pursue that policy wuich they sup? pose most conducive to their own interests. This would have been the duty of Colonel Beirne if he had been elected President of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, without ref? erence lo the Atlantic outlet of the freight passing over it. This was the policy of Colonel Tate, whoso sagacity and energy has made him so conspicuous among the railroad managers of the country; and it will, doubtless, be the policy of Major Wicks, his successor. But the intimation that the last named gentlemen have been or will be influenced by any special hos? tility to Charleston is simply absurd. Freights from Memphis to Charleston now find their way to tue great commercial centres of the world by the route to Norfolk, instead of Charleston, because they can do it more econ? omically. At the commencement of the pres? ent business season, President Tate addressed a letter to the' presiding officers of the rail? roads between Chattanoaga and.Charleston, proposing a through rate of freight between Memphis and New York, which would send it by way of Charleston. His proposition was to establish -such a rate as would enable him ?to compete with the agents of the Kentucky jand Ohio route, aad the minors routes, in the .carrying trade between the Western and East? ern cities, and after paying the charges of the steamships between Charleston and New York, tho railroads should divide the remainder pro rata between them. It was proposed, also, that the rates between Memphis and Charles ?on should be on the pro rata basis, tims giv? ing our - city the advantage on its direct ship? ments to Europe. A satisfactory arrange? ment having-boen made with the steamships, these propositions were acceded to, and for a few weeks Colonel Tate was enabled to compete successfully with his rivals, and a large pre porflerance of the cotton forwarded from Memphis to the Eastern cities passed through Charleston. But at a moment's no? tice the New York steamships refused to carry any more cotton, unless at double the rates formerly agreed upon, and as a compliance with this demand would make the railroad ser? vice utterly unremunerativo, the entire ar? rangement was broken up, and the trade from Memphis reverted to its former channels, ex? cept a small amount which passed over the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroads. And this was not strange, when much of the trade from Atlanta, Marietta, and other points in our sister State of Georgia, took the same direction. '? The Mercury will see, by this statement, how unfounded are its charges that Colonel Tate is, or has been, inimical to Charleston, and with how much more propriety they might have been directed at parties nearer home. But it may be, and probably was, a necessity on ths part of the steamships to increase their rates, as it would be on the part of the railroads if cotton and other produce had to be carried on the passenger trains. Those luxurious floating palaces for passengers cannot be expected to furnish an econ?mica] medium for the trans? portation of bulky freights, and this suggests a reform and a remedy-the establishment of a fine of propellers, calculated especially for the prompt and economical transportation of fi eight but with accommodations for passengers who would be satisfied with substantial but no. ex? pensive fare, and of these there should be but one class. The propellers oonld easily make the distance between New York and Charleston in sixty hours; a fast freight line between Charles? ton and Memphis deliver its goods in forty hours, and allowing ten hours for trans? fer in Charleston, the time necessarily occu? pied between Memphis and New-York need not exceed one hundred and ten hours, or say four and a half days. This would be, by long odds, the quickest, and might be the most economi? cal route between New York aud Memphis, and would be still* further improved upon the con? struction of the proposed railroad from Atlanta to Decatur, by which the distance will be les? sened some eighty miles. . In the present depressed condition of busi? ness, and absence of capital, it cannot be ex? pected that means can now be had to invest in these improvements. But that they will be made, and that they will be effectual in making Charleston a leading outlet of Western pro? duce, none can doubt who comprehend her Seal natural advantages. In the meantime, ; not her citizens, and especially those who assume to direct public opinion, indulge in unjust and gratuitous imputations against gentlemen in a sister city, who are identified with us in interest, and have manifested their willingness to identify themselves with us in action. R. The Russians in Asia-Fall of Bokhara. Telegrams from Central Asia forwarded through the Atlantic cable, announce that tho Russian military advance in Centrial Apia, con? ducted with great skill and wonderful* persis? tency and endurance during the past two years, has culminated in the capture of the city of Bokhara-the town of Alexandor the Great, of Jenghis-khan and Timour-by the troops of the Czar, after a bloody battle in which the Shan was killed. The possession of this, the richest city of "Central Asia, with its three hundred and sixty mosques, its commerce with Persia, 'i urkey. Tartary. China and India, its famous seat cf Mohammedan learning and the dwelling of the chief of Islamism in that portion of the world, makes ample reward for the c J -rage and pati? ence with which General Romanoffsky conduct? ed the soldiers of Russia away from the borders of Chi u ese Turkestan, on both banks of the Jaxartes, to his grand objecive point, Bokhara. Moving forward under an almost intolerable heat the Russians fought and won the great battles of Irdjar, Samarcand, Khodjent and Tachkend, the Cossack cavalry meeting the horsemen of Bokhara on their own ground ?nd defeating them, while their arti lery and infan? try were an overmatch for the great guns and troops of the .Emir, even when the sovereign of Bokhara commanded in person. Holding Bokhara Russia establishes hor power political, military and christian, in the whole country north of the Jaxartes from the "Celestial Mountains" to Lake Ara- and the City of Tam? erlane, and thus premonishes Europe that she is likely to become Use future arbiter of tho Asiatic question, not only in the central gov? ernments, but in Hindost?n. FROM WASHINGTON. THE KEW TAX B?X-WHISKEY, TOBACCO, GABS-IMPORTANT CHANGES. In the course of bis speech on Monda the Tax bill, Mr. Schenok, the chairman ol committee that reported the new bill, said: We have provided that retailors sha! classified, and shall pay according . to amoont of their business-$25, $50, $100,1 $1000-severally for their licenses; and we 1 defined a retad dealer to be not one who i a certain amount of liquor, but one who i liquor in quantities less than one quart, who sells to be drunk on the premises. Wholesale liquor dealers pay at this t one-tenth of one per cent, on all sales at $50.000. We propose that wholesale liq dealers shall pay two and a half per cei twenty-five times as much-and shall pa] ; all s ales over $2000 instead of over $50,000. I have made an estimate that from I source we can obtain- about $24,000,000, ju ing by the statistics of the trade. I co then, to the special tax imposed upon the i tiller himself. We have made it one hund dollars, and one dollar on each barrel prod ed. We have also added this system of ta ti on of sales. We have also added to that a tax upon capacity. We provide that th shall be three dollars a day paid on capacity of each distillery that mashes i ferments one hundred bushels or less, and additional three dollars a day for each ac tiona! hundred bushels mashed aud ferment We have retained the tax of two dollari gallon as a direct tax on whiskey; bm take occasion to say here now that it is : the expectation, I believe, even of the cc mittoe, that the amount of direct tax will retained by the House, or by Congress. If had let it be known four months ago that wi key was to be taxed only one dollar or seven five cents a gallon we would have lost ab< $4.000,000 of revenue. I do not know whet! Congress will agree to the reduction. I, one, have come very reluctantly to the cone sion that it should be done. From the v< beginning I was inclined " to fight it out that line." But I have come to the eon ?lus i that keeping this tax at two dollars per g lon will eventuate in continuing the rule of t whiskey ring in this country, and that the ti therefore, bad better be reduced. We mi not be controlled, we must not be govern by the whiskey men who are at this very rr ment swarming in the city, especially anxio to know whether the tax fi going to be kept such a rate as that they can continue th operations. Step by step, therefore, by c gr?es. I have brought myself to the conclus: that the direct tax on distilled spirits ought be put down to something like seveuty-fi cents a gallon. And the reason why I won be disposed to seventy-five cents is, that fro the examination of many taxes, and the in vc tigatiou of the whole subject, I believe th seventy-five cents is about the standard whioh the tax can be collected, and which w make it impossible for illicit distillation io 1 carried on with profit. Illicit distillers cann carry on their business in concealed places cellars and garrets in Chicago and Philade phis-tho two great points at which most the enormous rascality isl carried on-with ai advantage at all if we can beat them in tl market. From a number of calculations that I hai made, I can come to no conclusion but that v shall get at least seventy millions out of whi key in the coming year, instead of thirteen mi lions, to which we are now reduced. In reference to the income tax, it was to t retained at five per cent.; but salaries from tl government, on which no allowance was no made lor house rent, bad debts, ?bo., wei henceforth to be accounted for as other ii comes, instead of having the tax deducted a their being paid. In reference to the tax on railroads, portia burly horse railroads, they were no longer to L allowed, under the revenue law, to exact froi their passengers that tax, or rather eight time the tax; but would have to apply for relief ui der that head to the local or municipal coven mente. As to tobacco, the committee had made great many amendments in regard to the co lection of the tax. lt bad endeavored to mak the law rigorous, certain of execution, and t have tho collection made through tho ruc dhu of stamps. While the country had been an tounded with the enormous frauds commute in evading the tax on whiskey, it had not bee: much better with tobacco, though he confes? ed that whiskey was a little ahead in the rac of rascality. Instead of the three classes c taxation-forty, thirty and fifteen cents pound-the committee now recommended onl two classes at forty and sixteen cents. Th committee also provided that smoking ant chewing tobacco should be put np in smal packages, and the tax paid by stamps. As to cigars, the committee had thought c doubling the present ta?of five dollars pe thousand; but that, perhaps, would not be in sisted upon. His own opinion was that the' ought to reduce the tariff on cigars, as not ai fording the protection which was intended t< home manufactures. The tax on imported ci gars now averaged seventy-six dollars th thousand, and the consequence was tba smuggling was carried on to an alarming ex tent. THE IMPEACHMENT INQUISITION-PAY OF PREST DENT'S COUNSEL-TESTIMONY Or COLLECTOl WEBSTER, or BALTIMORE-MB. BUTLER'S VOY AGE OF DISCOVERY. The Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Sun writes, under date of the 2d inst Among the witnesses examined to-day ty the impeachment committee were Messrs Cornelius Wendell, of this city ; J. T. Worth' ington, of Cincinnati, Hon. E. H. Webster, col lector of customs, Baltimore, and Col. Cooper late assistant secretary of the treasury. Fron the account of the testimony by these wit? nesses, it appears that nothing new was devel? oped with regard to alleged purchase of votes of senators. Tho evidence of Collector Web? ster was nearly all relative to the raising ot a fund for paying off the President's ex? panses for attorneys' ieee. Thia was, oi course, irrelevant, but was brought oui upon a question of Mr. Butler. As re? lated by Mr. Webster, it appears that the wit? ness, having learned that it was proposed to raise a fund for the purpose stated, in the sev? eral large cities, himself headed a list of sub? scription in Baltimore, composed of three or four Federal officers and about twenty leading merchants of that city; that the entire sum raised was $2500, which was paid over to Col, Cooper and added to the $15,000 or $20,000 then already sent from New York and Philadelphia, and afterwards distributed amongst the Presi? dent's counsel. Messrs. Butler and Logon are conducting tho examination, the other members of tho committee taking little or no interest in the inquisition. This in? quisitors! proceeding is evidently kept up by Mr. Butler for the purpose, first, of keep himself continually before the public, for he is nothing if not notorious; and secondly, to induce the people to believe that there is something startling behind, some astounding disclosures yet to be made. It is well under? stood here, however, that, so far as the im Seachment trial is involved, there bas not sen a scintilla of evidence adduced to show that any money was raised to purchase votes for acquittal, and that Butler is now merely in? dulging in a prurient curiosity, and engaged upon a voyage of discovery, 'hoping, out of several hundred telegrams and other private communications that he illegally seized and shamelessly read and examined, to find some inkling of corrupt purpose, which, being ex? posed through the committee in a sensational form, may divert the public attention from the utter failure of the original and avowed pur? pose of the committee. THE LATE EX-PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.-The last words of the the venerable ex-president Buchanan were : "God bless my country 1" and they were repeated by him several times in a whisper. One of his latest requests was that ex-Presidents Pierce and Fillmore and President Johnson be invited to attend his funeral. The following order is published in the Washington papare : WASHINGTON, June 2, 1868.-Tho President, with deep regret, announces to the people ol the United StateB the decease, at Wheatland, Pennsylvania, on the first instant, of his hon? ored predecessor, James Buchanan. This? event will occasion mourning in t ie nation for the IOBS of an eminent citizen and honored public servant. As a mark of respect for hie memory it is ordered that the Executive De? partment bo immediately placed in mourning, and all bu?iuess be suspended on the day or the luneral. ItMs further ordered that the War and Navy Departments cau6e suitable military and naval honors to be paid on this occasion to the msmory of the illustrious dead. ANDREW JOHNSON. FASHIONS FOR JUNE. "Jennie June," in her usual monthly bm of ladies' gossip, thns sketches the New 1 fashions for the summer now opening : THE NO BONNET has come at last; it has been expected I bonne ts would come to that for same time, really the Substitute made of a few yardi narrow ribbon, with lace or fringe edges, lc about as much like a bonnet when it is on head as the bits of straw and lace, whioh c< under the proper name. The "Lea," as new style is called, consists of ten double lo of narrow ribbon, five to each band, mom on a strip of foundation muslin au incl width, covered with silk, the same color as ribbon; this makes two bands of five lo each, which are fastened to a length of ribo sufficient to pass round the head and tie un the hair behmd. Properly arranged, one bi is placed across the top of the head, and other over the comb or chignon, and when ends are tied behind, few would suppose t any difference existed pet ween it anet bonn sold for twenty-five dollars each. For sumx watering-place wear, they would be immer as ladies could make a new one every day wi waiting for the carriage to drive around they wanted to, and pack seventy-five of th in one small hat-box. Another new idea bonnets is the introduction of a ruff more i Ksing than Queen Elizabeth's; it consists c 1 of fluted tulle which passes across the b: of the bonnet, descends to the shoulders, a forms a square necklace upon the breast, third imported oddity has blonde-strings, wb: fasten with an ornament upon the breast, a then di vidi ncr off, are narrow low down up the ides of the dress, where the ends of IE are fastened with a bow and ends of ribbon. THE "CASQUE"'. is a new little bonnet of straw, the rim whioh rolls over in the front, instead of star ing straight up. It is usually trimmed wi leaves and with a scarf of red lace, which fastened at the back with a rosette of ribbc and forms second strings in front. Leav mounted on spiral and flexible stems are tl season among the most fashionable of om meats. They have almost suparcededflowei Borne are rich with the brown of the fores others are touched with fire, and still othe shine with a brilliant metallic green. Tl newest and prettiest, however.'are the leav and flowers of mother-of-pearl,, which, inti natural tints, compose exquisite ornaments fi turquoise-blue bonnets. The moat elega bon nata for visiting aie now made of lace ei broidered by hand, ornamented with color? blonde edging and leaves of njother-of-paa exactly to match, sometimes an aigrettee mother-of-pearl is stylishly placed hint < one Bide of the front. The newest and mo distinguished round hat bears a striking r semblance to the hat worn by Biston as Mar Antoinette. The crown is not quite so big! nor the brim so broad, but otherwise rt ie hi it, the same in outline and in the coquetry i its somewhat wide flexible brim. Plain rom hats of Marseilles or coutille, some cordei others painted or scolloped upon the t dge, hai been adopted by many ladies, for travellin purposes for years past because they can t "done up,"and are injuriously affected bys accident of weather. In this* respect the have the advantage of white maslin bennett although the lat ter, while fresh,' are more b< coming. Bound bats of Marseilles can t bought at ladies* furnishing establishmenl and cost from three to five dollars each. THE B?BNO?B AGAIN. The new and pre tty summer wraps are all i the burnous style. They are made in stripe silks and grenadine, the silk cAf/ffid and richi mounted with tassels and heavy cord. Ther are also Abyssinian burnous, the stripes c rough- unbleached linen alternating wit stripes of Japanese unbleached silk, upo: which are printed small Arabic characters More dressy mantilles aie made of white pren a dine, with mantilla backs, shawl iaequin fronts which cross over, and long pointe hoods. They are trimmed wi tm hindsom crimped tassels and crimr^i rat^Biagarj?gc ia como bright) culur. The "Countess," STU ri at ion of the Marie Antoinette, is a very grace ful fichu, with lace hood, square laps in front trimmed with lace and fastened down under i belt, to whioh a wide sash with bows are at tached at the back; the! ends of tho sash ar trimmed with lace. Water-proof cloaks ar now made with a deep cape instead of a . cod the cape canghc up at the back with two ro settes in the "Colleen Bawn" Htyle. fcotcl tartan makes a more stylish travelling wraj than water-proof cloth, and is very dislmgu made in the style above mentioned, with ro settee of silk ia the color of the plaid. MORNING WRAPPERS AND COTTON DEESSES. Several correspondents, some from distan parts of the country, bave written to know hov to make calico dresses. Morning wrappers, o which every lady needs one or two, are goree plain, buttoned down the front, trimmed with i narrow border in a chintz pattern or a plait cambric stitched on and finished with two lit tie pockets. Such wrappers as these of printi of small patterns can be bought ready made ai a fashionable house for four and a half dol?an each. Wrappers cut in the same way are mach in white pique and trimmed with white or col ored braid for nine to twelve dollars, and in un' bleached linen trimmed with white braid (sev? eral rows) for nine dollars. These prices art; scarcely in advance of the cost of the materia and making. I had almost forgotten to sa} that a sash belt (not a dressy affair) is at? tached to the back and tied in front. The ends are a little wider than the belt part, and are finished with braid. Dresses of plain cambric or calico are pretty, made with deep yokee stitched in very narrow tucks aud outlined with a narrow double frill of the same, through the centre of which a cord runs. The skirt should be vern- narrow at the top and finished with a flounce, which, like that of the waist, will serve as a heading. Flat braid or narrow chintz bor? der stitched on may be used instead of ruffling. The sleeves are slurb.ly fulled at the top and trimmed on tho back and at the waist to match. The waist is finished with a belt. REDUCTION TN PRICES. Dry goods ot every description, and even made-up garments, which usually bring very high prices, are all at the present time com? paratively low. Excellent drillings, satin jeaDs, coutille, fine piqued and Marseilles, which cost from ono to two dollars per yard to import, are selling from Qi tv cents to one dollar and a quar? ter per yard. Poplins, which Bold at the be? ginning of tho season for a dollar and a quar? ter, are now seDing for seventy-five cents per yard, and stocks of mixed spring fabrics cannot be got rid of at any price. A rich Buit of black Antwerp silk, piped with red satin train, two yards long, valued six weeks ago at three hun? dred and fifty dollars, is now reduced to two hundred. A walking suit of black Bilk, trim? med with satin and lace, formerly one hundred and sixty-five dollars, now one hundred and twenty-five. Other suits in mixed fabric, beau? tifully made and elegantly trimmed, at from twenty-five to fifty dollars, formerly from forty to seventy. Walking suits now can be bought in many houses at less pneo than they could be made by a fashionable dressmaker. PARASOLS AND OTHES THINGS. White and light 6ilks are used for elegant parasols this season, oither covered with black lace or embroidered in colors the Breton or Al gerine designs. Beading has not gono out al? together, but it is not so fashionable as it was. Black Bilk parasols, instead of beading or jot embroidery, ore ornamented with Darrow ruffles, notched out upon the edge and scol? loped. Parasols fur little girls are ateo trim? med in this wav, and are commonly made of light email chocks, trimmed with very narrow ruffles in the contrasting colors. lu linen col? lars "Oxford" is the latest style. It is very nar? row at the bock, and in front part describee deep points upon the shoulders. It is quite taking the place of the "Shakspeare," which has been in vogue BO long. The veite tied be? hind with tabs, have given place to the hand embroidered face veils, which fastens with an elastic over the top of the bonnet and reach to thc chin ; the top of tho veil isrouuded up, the sides slant a little and the lowor edge is cut straight. The mask veil have had no success whatever. Aprons for house wear aro all the rage, I am glad to say. I always liked them, they are so pretty and home-like. For morn? ing wear they are made ol buen trimmed with braid ; for afternoon full drees they are dainty and charming in clear white muslin, with little pockete trimmed with Valenciennes lace aud blue ribbon. _ "IBS^??TIOE.-ON A FINAL ADJUSTMENT of the offai;s of thd lato co-partnership or CRAIG, TUOSTEY A CO., it was agreed that all the outstand? ing debts due the Concero should be paid lo tho subscriber, who is alono au thor zed to receipt for the same. - ll parsons indebted to said Concern, by note or otherwise, will make payment to JOHN TUOMEY, 86 East Bay, April 6 Corner Adger's South Wharf. ?bituorg. " GREGG -Died on the 1th inst., at the residence of her grandfather, MARY FLEMING GREGG, aged five months, youngest child of WILLIAM and MAST GREGG. * Card of Thanks. At the last regalar meeting of the Vigilant Fire Engine Company, held on Tuesday evening, June 3,1868, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : The visit of tue Vigilant Fire Engine Company to Savannah furnishes many causes of congratulation to this organization. For the first time in its his? tory it left the scenes of its labors and the sur? roundings that first called into existence a generous desire to contribute Its aid for the relief of the unfor? tunate, and though many occasions offered for a corporate association with the firemen of other cities, until the present no such opportunity was ever embraced. The hospitable invitation of the Savannah Fire Department to participate in the celebration of its first annual parade seemed, as it were, a desire on thek part for an expression of approbation and a welcome into the philanthropic band of firemen from older and more experienced associations. The responses made to their call evidenced how truly, they had struck the keynote of hearts that beat in unison with their own. From Macon, Au? gusta, Thomasville and Charleston, representatives assembled to greet with cheering words, snd with open arms, to re?oive the youthful but vigorous as? pirant for fellowship and association. How these feelings of sympathy were appreciated thek actions are the best Indications; rosy morn found them attentive and anxious for the entertain? ment and enjoyment of their guests, midday brought no cessation in unremitting kindness, dewy eve furnished an occasion for increased solici? tude, and midnight fell upon them constant and un? wavering in their efforts to promote the comfort and contribute to the happiness of thek visitors.

STANT.-In J847, the great grand principle-of ^PpinyAiift, iSEguaK?M?BB -tmciwnmttm-tMW wi l'ao?t employing such dangerous agents as chloro? form, opium, morphine, aconrine, ether, Ac, was first made known in RADWAY'S READY RELIEF. This remedy accomplished this wonderful and de? lightful desideratum in all cases of external and in? ternal pain. In an instant it afforded relief, the mo? ment it was applied to the parts of the body where inflammation or pain existed-it at once relieved the patient of the most violent and excruciating pangs and throbs of pain, and imparted the delightful sen? sation of ease and comfort Every kind of pain, whether Rheumatism, Neural? gia, Toothache, Pains in the Chest, Side, Lungs, Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys, Spine, Legs, Arms, Feet, one application was sufficient to kill and extermi? nate the pain. Taken, internally, twenty drops to a teaspoonful would cure, and will cure, Asiatic Cholera, Fever and Ague, nulls and Fever, Bilious Cholle, Inflam? mation of the Bowels, Cramps, Spasms, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, and evory pain that may exist in the in? side of man, woman or child; thia was Rad way's Beady Relief of 1817, and it is Rodway's Ready Be? lief, greatly Improved, in 18G8. We then started it in its mission of relieving the in? firm, pain-stricken, sick, distressed and crippled oi all nations throughout the world, and n w to-day lt is used, patronized and revert?as a household ne? cessity, ba the palaces of Sultatis, Emperors, Haimos, Kings, High Priests, Nobles, as well as in the cot? tages of the laboring classes of every nation ou the face of the earth. In every war that has taken place within the last twenty years, this remedy has been used as preventive of malarious and infectious diseases as well as a cure for wounds, stiff joints, bruises, accidents, and to relieve the soldiers from pain. Letters from Army Surgeons and distinguished Generals and soldiers in our late war arc on file, certifying to- the wonderful service of the RAD? WAY'S READY RELIEF. It will prevent all against attacks of the worst diseases that prevail, as plagues or epidemics, and to those who are seized will at once check the disease and cure thc patients some? times with, and at others without remedial assist? ance. This is hadway's Beady Relief. Persons afflicted with external pains, or rheumatism, neu? ralgia, toothache, cramps, spasms, etc., bathe the parts affected, either by rubbing with tho hands or with a sp "ige dipped in the BELIEF, and pain wiU cease tu exist. The miserable stuffs scented with the Oil cf Cassia or Peppermint, eold under the names of paint, etc, are nothing but weak imitations of RADWAY'S BEADY BELIEF, sent forth to thc world under our old advertisements of 1847, etc. They are but imita rions, and will die out in a few months. Their mak? ers, nothing but o ?et of vagrants, street hawkers, and camp followers of side shows to ckcuscs, after the fashion of the "For Four Cent Man," knowing as much, or rather little, about medicine BB Barnum's "What is It?" The doggere advertisements they pay hungry Bohemians to write for them. 1 he ex? istence ol these miserable imitations of thc great and good Ready Rollet of Dr. Rodway will be brie;'. Old patrons of Radway's Eeady Relief are daily coming back, and so it wiU ever be. Radway's Ready Re? lief will ever stand the first, the best, thc cheapest and quickest remedy for the instant cure of pain in the world. RADWAY'S READY RELIEF is sold for fifty cents in bottles holding three times as much as any t weaty-five cent bottle of any other remedy lor the same purpose, and as much as ouc dollar of the Pain Killers.

It is wisely provided by tho human economy that whenever anything is wrong ba the physical system the natural forces of the body are biought to bear to expel the disease. The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen the natural powers. This has been kept in view by tbe skilful compounders of HOSThT TER'S STOMACH BITTERS, which operates to give iresh vitality to all the organs of the body. The effect of this medicine upon the stomach, the liver and the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The patient, who is wise enough to quit dragging and try the BITTERS, soon feels as if he had taken a article he is overjoyed to find the streams of health coursing through his frame. It is prepared with great care, and its component parts are entirely vegetable. It is free from the objections so often urged against preparations of the kind. As a MEDI? CAL AGENT, it has no equal, while its pleasing flavor and healthful effects have made it a general favorite. It is free from all properties calculated to impair the system, and its operations are at once mild, soothing and efficient All who have used HOSTETTER'd STOMACH BITTERS attest its vir tues and commend lt to use. . Even those who are in the enjoyment of perfect hearth frequently have need to have recourse to tonics as preventives ol disease. We are never too well armed against the assaults of "the ills that flesh is heh* to." In health or sickness this tome cannot be taken regularly without giving vitality and elas? ticity to tbe system.
