The Moniteur Bays Jose Concha, at th) head of the government in Madrid, and Manuel Concha, in cotnmind of the army in the field, have both sent in their resignations to the Queen. In their communication they inform the Queen that her refusal to return to Mad? rid, unless accompanied by Mariort, destroys all hope of checking the insurrection. The Queen has accepted their resignation and sent for the Count of Chaste to form anew ministry. Tho Queen has also summoned a Council of Slate to meet at San Sebastian.

THE QUEEN ARRIVED AT BAYONNE, FRANCE. PARIS, September SO.-The Queen of Spain has arrived at Bayonne. M. Mon, one of the Queen's Counsellors, who accompanied her Majesty on her recent visit to Biarritz, has resigned. THE LATEST. MADRID, October 1.-Queen Isabella has left the Spanish territory, and the revolutionary leaders have organized a provisional govern? ment. The Gazette publishes the proclamation of tho Provisional Government deposing Isabella, declaring tho sovereignty of the people and denouncing the Bourbons. Tba Andalusian merchants and bankers have offered to loan the Provisional Government 160,000,000 rea?B. The Marquis Novalichez is dead from wounds received. .Madrid is per? fectly quiet The interview ? between Isabella and the French imperial family lasted but fifteen minutes. Gonzales Bravo had also a brief in? terview with the Queen at Castile. WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, October 2.-General Gordon Granger departed to-day to temporarily relieve General Thomas, commanding the Department of the Cumberland, who comes to participate in the inquiry concerning alleged ordnance fraude? It ia stated that the monthly debt st itemcnt will show $4,000,000 increase. The ofilrial vote of Maine is still withheld. The government expenses for September, exclusive of the interest on the public debt, amount to $28,500,000. A letter from Arkansas to an ex-3enator from that State says: "Registration is general throughout the State, and thousands of colored people will vote the Democratic ticket." He also states that there will be a full Democratic Congressional delegation, and the State will go for Seymour and Blair by 20,000 majority. Condensed Sew? by Telegraph.. A cable dispatch announce s that a colliery explosion has occurred in Wales, by which eleven men were killod and many injured. Several memberB of the Twenty-ninth United States Infantry were killed or wounded by an accident on the Virginia Central Railroad yes? terday. The Georgia Legislature yesterday appropri? ated three raillions of dollar J to aid the rail? roads of that State. A "row occurred in Philadelphia yesterday while the "Boys in Blue" were passing the corner of Sixth and Pine streets. Two pistols were fired, and one man killed. An attempt has been made to assassinate the Viceroy of Egypt by dropping a steel ball armed with sharp barbs upon his head. The Viceroy escaped uninjured. The Registration bill which passed tho Ala? bama Legislature will have to await the signa? ture of the Governor, now in Washington. This wiU prevent the Presidential election vote, and the feeling is strong with the Repub? licans to let the Legislature cast the vote of the State. _ -The Anderson Intelligencer says : "In sev? eral sections of the district, the caterpillar and army worm have made their appearance, though it is too late to result in much damage to the cotton crop. Only a few farmers report any injury from these swarming visitors, and many agree that their appearance will prove beneficial rather than otherwise, by stripping the leaves, and allowing the cotton to open more rapidly, in advance of tho frost. It will be remembered that these insects appeared in this region last year." POLITICAL.. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND RECONSTRUCTION HON. HENEY 8TANBEBY ON THE SOCTHEBN STATE OOVEBN STENTS. Ex-Attorney-General Stanbery addressed a Democratic meeting in Lancaster, Ohir, on Saturday evening. His speech was mainly de? voted to an argument against thc Congres? sional plan of reconstruction, and he said that he has made np his mind to oppose these revo? lutionary measures, in conclusion he spoke as follows : And now as to the question, "How can the Democratic Conservative party apply a reme? dy ?" There are some who say the evil is in? curable; that, rk'bt or wrong, the bl'ick races of the South liave been invested with tho right of suffrage, and it cannot be taken away; that, right or wrong, the Southern States have been reconstructed and recognized by Congress, and, in virtue of that recognition, their status is irreversibly fixed. Listen, .'"iv doubting friend. If a Republican Congress could dis? franchise the whito man, cannot a Democratic Congress disfranchise the negroes? If a Re? publican Congress can take the ballot from the white man and give it to the negro, cannot a Democratic Congress restore it to its former and rightful owner? If a Republican Congress could declare a State Constitution void, when mado by the white men of a State in the cxer crcise "of their free will, cannot a Dem? ocratic Congress declare a State Consti? tution void, made by the black men of the South, with the help of tho bayonet? Finally, if a Congressional lccognition is the (est of State legality, cannot a Democratic Congress apply it just as well as a Republican Congress? Ali we have to do is to reverse what has been done, t.nd to undo, by constitutional means, what has been done by revolutionary means. First of ail, elect a President who will fight it out on the lino of tho constitution, in? stead of the line of the Republican army. Next, elect a Democratic House of Representatives, and half the work is done; for not a represen? tative from any one of these reconstructed States wUl be recognized or allowed to take bis seat in that body, and not another dollar will be appropriated to sustain the Freedmen's Bureau or the militaty occupation of the South. Finally, put a Democratic majority in the Sen? ate, and then the good work will be finished. It will take time, perhaps, moro than it has taken to do the mischief. The process may be a slow one; but, my Democratic friends, if you are of the same class of men as the Democracy of old-if you possess the same steadfast, un? conquerable will, sooner or later success is sure. WHAT GEN. ROSECRANS THINKS-SOUTHERN BES TOBATION THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE. Gen. Rosecrans was among those who were unable to attend the great Democratic out? pouring at Indianapolis, and in his letter of regret says: I believe our free institutions and highest material interests are in grave peril. I shall, therefore, perform a solemn and responsible duty to my fellow-soldiers and countrymen, who love this nation more than party, by stat? ing what I think tho most vital issues before the public in th a approaching Presidential elec? tion. Above all other questions-expenditures, taxation, bonds, "greenbacks." or anything else- Btandsthatof restoring tho people of the Southern States to hopeful, cheerful sen-govern? ment. Restore them this, and as certainly as day follows the sun our political stability will be assured; our. financial prosperity will speedily follow ; the valuo of property in the South will increase ; our public securities will go to a premium ; our green? backs will become par ; coin and currency ac? counts, with all their evils and complications, will disappear from the bocks of our business men. Not even tho prosecution of the war challenged a more thorough renunciation of party preferences and personal dislikes on tho altar of our country than does the attainment of this great good. The desolate and ruined South, the oppressed tax-payers of tho West and North, generosity, mercy, love of country, apprehensions of evils to come, every motive that ought to move the hearts of true and no? ble men, appeal lo us to say by our votes we will stop that hopeless folly of attempting to govern the Southern States by what wo call "loyal blac'?s," and give the people under just guarantees the right, peacefully and logally, to proceed to reorganize their own governments within the Union. With such convictions, I hold the man who would not express and act upon tnem a traitor to himself and his coun? try, and despise the partisan who would find fault with any reasonable steps he might take to bring about so great a good to tho nation. THE NATIONAL FINANCES. The Radicals have been for some timo en? deavoring to figure tor themselves a satisfac? tory exhibit of the national finances. In response to a request from a number of gentlemen of standing, blr. Delmar, the head of the United States Bureau of Statistics, has made an official statement of the present con? dition of the national finances, which will prove a hard nut tor Radical jaws. Instead of their boasted reduction of taxes we leam that there will be a deficit of 5151,339,202 at the end of the fiscal year, which can only be met by an ad flition'of that amount to the public debt. The Radicals boRS' of the smallness of the appro? priations for the current year. Tho figures furnished by Mr. Dellar expose the dishon? esty of this boast, by showing a large balanco of unexpended appropriations ($144,778,472) re? maining over from the last fiscal year. This, be it borne in mind, is an official statement, based upon actual facts and figures, in black and white. Its refutation will bc a puzzler even to Radical ingenuity. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DIFFICULTIES IN CHICAGO.-A Chicago telegram of the 23th in? stant says that Bishop Duggan has withdrawn his oppressive deprivation of Mr. Roles' official functions, aud for eomo reason has not yet pro? ceeded against either of thc other priests. Dr. Mullen has already visited several members of thc American Hierarchy, preparatory for leaving for Europe. His friends and thc friends of other clergymen have thought proper to malte public the letter written on his leaving, which is as follows : SUNDAY EVENTNO. September 20. Right Zeoerend and Dear Bi?hop : You have done me the honor more th?.n once of signify? ing co me that I am sincere, honorable und la? borious in whatever 1 think, say, or do in all matters of importance pertaining to religion. I hope, dear Bishop, that you will accord to mc the same kindness of judgment while I state to you that I am convinced that it is my sacred duty to God, religion and my fellow men to do all I can within the bounds of troth and justice to remove you from the Bishopric of Chicago. l am devoid of ah the feelings that are not the kindest toward you. Should you ever need my assistance, dear Bishop, it shall not be withheld. Being one of those who believed it for your benefit to make such statements regarding your administration as would induce the Holy See to remove you from this diocese, and as you have thought it proper to remove Rev. Jo? seph H. Rolee as a punishment for having uni? ted with me and others io making these repre? sentations, I now, as a party concerned, appeal against your action to the Holy See. I wish to call your attention, dear Bishop, to the canons of the church in reference to ap? peals to superior tribunals, aud especially to the Holy See, according to which, while "thc case is pending, I cannot be relieved from office or benefice. I therefore retain my parish, and request you to appoint a clergyman to attend to it during my absence. Before this communication shall have reach? ed you I shall be o:i my way to Rome. Fare? well, then, dear Bishop; you shall be remem? bered in my prayers. If we never meet again on earth, let us so demean ourselves as to be worthv of living with our father who is in HeaTen. J. MULLEN, D. D. It is supposed that, bringing this letter to the attention of the Bishop, under the canon law allowing an appeal to Rome, the appellant cannot be deprived of bis parish or benefice, and has had the effect of delaying, if not pre? venting altogether, the contemplated suspen? sion of other clergymen. -The Edgefield Advertiser says : "Li our section the ravages of tho worm have been vory serious indeed. Planters from several 6ectio is of the district inform us that t'aeir cotton crop and that of all their neighbors, has been curtailed fully one-third by the caterpil? lar. While many others assure" us that one half their crop ?B gone by this means." TIIK FOREIGN CI VILS. THE WAK CLOUD AND WHAT Id TO COME OF IT OUTOIVrNa8 OF THE CBOWNED OBACLES. The two poteutateH on whose will the ques ?0D of peace or war in Europe now depends, have just made speeches, which are exercising the minds of people in that hemisphere to an extraordinary degree. The speoch of Napoleon was delivered on the 11th ult. at Chalons, as he was taking leave of tho general officers in charge of the camp there. It was in these words : I have been very happy in the eight days that I have passed among you. I say nothing to you, because the journals would not fail to draw from my woran, however moderate they might be, prognostics of war. I limit myself, therefore, in expressing to you my satisfac? tion at your zeal and your devotion." The speech of the King of Prussia was at Kiel, on the 14th ultimo, in reply to an ad? dress presented to bim by the Rector of tho University. He spoke ns follows: As for the hopes you express for the preser? vation of peace, no one can share them moro earnestly than I. It is a painful necessity for a sovereign, and one in which bois responsible before God, to seo himself forced to pronounce the fatal word of war. Nevertheless, there arc circumstances in which a prince cannot and ought not to avoid such a responsibility. You yourselves havo seen here with your own eyes that the necessity of a war may sometimes be imposed upon a prince as well as upon a nation. If there exists between us a bond of confi? dence and o? mutual friendly feeling, it is to a war that v-o owe it. For the rest, 1 do not sec in Europe any circumstance which threatens the existence of peace, and I say it emphatically to tranquillize your minds. But what ought to reassure you still moro is the sight of the assembled repre? sentatives of my army aud navy, that force of tho Fatherland which has proved that it does not fear to accept i conflict when it is inevita? ble, and to bring it to a favorable end. The last portion of the King's speech is an open menace; the whole of the Emperor's speech is regarded as the expression o f an anxiety. Whether there be war or not, it is certain that the prestige of France has much declined, while that of Germany has risen. On the continent of Europe Prussia is now thc leading power. PEACE OB WAR?-THE MAGNITUDE OF THE STOBM THAT IS BREWING. Although the Emperor, at his last Calons . review, made no "speech," yet a most uneasy feeling provails on the continent and in Eng? land relative to his presumed intentions; es? pecially os it is known that if war break out now it must take enormaus proportions, both in Europe and in Asia. Accordingly the Lon? don Times has an anxious sort of article upon Russia's attitude towards India. The ques? tion, according to the Times, has now assumed thc form that renders it necessary to ask-shall we await the Russian on tho Gauges or thc Indus, or forestall him "in the possession, command and control of Afghanistan"-"the country, and now tho only country, which in? tervenes between tho territories actually occu? pied by Russia and our own?" Tho Nation says : The Emperor speaks pacific words, but oven thoso who would bo most happy to believe then, shake their heads and doubt the muli of tho oracle. These misgivings are to a great extout caused by the popular appreciation of the fact that tho bi'^w, if it is to bo struck at all, will bo struck with os little as possible of previous flourish, and with all possible sud? denness. The European public are awaro that celerity of action is ono of thc principles of the new system of warfare, aud that it is the in? terest of an intending belligerent to mask his designs up to tho very last moment. Thc highly wrought state of preparation maintain? ed by Franco and Prussia at tho present timo is patent to all observera, and is ominous cf battle. Tho condition of tho two nations may be t vpified by bows fully bent, or rifles cborged", leviled and sighted. The danger now threat? ening the peace of Europe may pass harm? lessly away, but to persons who have carefully studied tho situation, tho other event seems much more probable. FRANCE AND SPAIN-THE QUEEN'S INTEBYTEW WITH THE EMPEBOB-NAPOLEON'S FUTURE POLICY. The Paris correspondent of the London Times writes under date of September 18 : The Queen of Spain has carried her toint, after a tashion and at the cost of her own hu? miliation. We already know that a very bad impression has been caused in Madrid Cy the nows that she intended going to Biarritz to see the Emperor, ?when by tho rules of etiquette the visit should be fro- * him to her. A courtier, named Couut Ezpaleta, was sent to Biarritz to negotiate thc affair, and found the warm sup? port of the Empress, who must bo rather amused by her former Sovereign's eagerness for Imperial patronage. Count Ezpaleta was still nt Biarritz on Wednesday, o nd it was arranged that thcro should bc an interchange of visits, the Queen beginning. Of course, whoa her Catholic Majesty Bued for permission to go a second timo to Biar? ritz, it could not well ho refuged her, nor could the Emperor, bo;ug within two hours'? ail of St. Sebastian, avoid returning tho visit, liut I tho aim will not bo attained- nut oven thc moral effect, which probably was all that the Quocu and ber counsellors really boped for. Unpopular, and even detested though she be throughout Spain, she is still La Reyna, tho Queen and chief of tho Spanish nation; mid Spanish prido ia bitterly dialed at seeing ber pay court to Napoleon, ibo step bb','has ta? ken will certaiuly not retard for a single day the catastrophe of which the day is uncertain, but the occurrence is inevitable. As regards any solid advantage to bo reaped from thc inter? views, probably the Queen herself does not venture to hope" for that. If while she and the Emperor uero together to-day at Biarritz, or to-morrow at St. Sebastian, news wove to como of a revolution at Madrid, and that half Spain was arming and rising, the Emperor, wo may? be well assured, wou d deeply sympathize and condole, and might express every wish for her Catholic Majesty's triumph over her enemies; but would not further that triumph by the aid of a sinclc bayonet, not even though the bate was held out to him of half the Spanish army to garrison Rome in the event of a Prussian war. The Emperor knows too weli what such au offji would be worth. MR. J. 8. MILL, M. P., ON THE BEL ETIONS BE? TWEEN MASTERS AND WOBKMEN. Mr. John Stuart Mdl, M. P., has addressed thc following letter to the Illustrated Weekly News, in whose columns the system of small percentage partnerships between masters and men have been advocated a? a means of adjust? ing the differences at present existing between labor and capital: I am quite ol' opinion that the various forms of co-operation (among which thc one most widely applicable at present to production, as distinguished from distribution, is what you tenn the system of small percentage partner? ships), are the real and only thorough means of healing the rued between capitalists and la? borers, ana, while tending eventually to auper cedo trade unions, are meanwhile a natural and gradually increasing corrective of their operation. I look also with hope to the ultimate work? ing of the foreign combination. The opera? tives are now fully alive to this part of the case, and arc beginning to try how far thc com? bination principle among laborers for wages admits of becoming national instead of only local, and general instead of being confined to each trade without help from other trades. The final experiment bas thus commenced, the result of which will fix the limits of what the trade union principle can do. And the larger view ol' questions which these considerations open op, and which is already visibly enlight? ening the minds of the more advanced work? people, will dispose them more and more to look for tho just improvement ol their condi? tion lather in becoming their own capitalists, or allying themselves on fair conditions w.th the ownets of capital, than in their present un? comfortable and often disastrous relations witli them. J. S. MILL. Things in Kew York, The New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger writes under date of Septem? ber 30 : Ex-President Fillmore arrived in town this morning. During tho day he has been waited upon by a number of well known Democratic politicians, and the report is be is preparing a letter for publication io support of Seymour and Blair. He is also invited to be present at the meetinsr tobe held on Monday evening next at the Cooper Institute. i An interesting event of tbe day is the return ; home by the Cuba ol General McClellan. He is in excellent health and spirits. Tho reader bas already been informed of the extensive ar? rangements that have been made by his poli? tical friends to sive him a public welcome, leading off to-morrow evening with a grand serenade in front of his lodgings at the Fifth Avenue Hotol. This evening, the General says, he would lik-; tobe let alone. His family are the guests of J. W.'A'sog, Esq., corner of McDougal-street and Washington pince. During the day ho was waited upon by tho committees of the McClellan legions, who for? mally congratulated bim upon his return home. The joint committee of the Common Council performed a similar ceremony in be? half of the people at large. The General brief? ly thanked them, one and all, but there was no speech making on either side. A Roman Catholic Synod, with reference to the affairs of this diocese, assembled at St. Pa? trick's Cathedral this morning. The attendance is very full, but thc proceedings are not pub? lic. It is reported, among the outsiders, how? ever, that decrees have been agreed to, forbid? ding all pic-nics in future, for church purpos? es, and cautioning thelaity against Planchettes and other devices of modern Spiritualism as tending to the corruption of souls. After all there is some prospect for an Italian opera between now and Christmas. Strakosch says bc will bring out Kellogg io concerts first, and if that pays tie will get together a compa? ny which will not only include her, but La? grange and Adelaide Philips, with Lotto and Susini.

TU8CDMBIA, ALA., September 21.-Last Sat? urday night week our Female Seminary was burned to the ground, and, evident to every one, it was the work of an incendiary. It seems the matter has been quietly and surely ferreted out during the past Week, and on Sun? day morning a warrant for the arrest of six negroes was sworn out, and four of them were found and arrested by the State officers. One ot the party gave bad to appear this morning, at 9 o'clock. Sunday night, about half-past ll, a body of cavalry in disguise, variously esti? mated to number from one hundred and fifty to three hundred, picketed the town and drew up in front of thc jail. Five or six of them demanded the prisoners ot the constable, who, with four men, was guarding them. He re? fused to surrender them, except to lawful au? thority, when all at once a signal was given and a charge was made in force by the whole body. Tho constable and guards were knocked down, searched, and locked np in a room. Three or four shots were fired in the melee by the guards and were replied to by the lynchers. Tue cell of the prisoners was then entered, they were seized and carried about a half mile from tho town and hung under a bridge. A placard was placed on each one, telling his crime and name, and giving his confes? sion. Their names were Port Simpson, Bon Cooper and Jake Bell. The confessions gave thc names of fifteen or twenty othors, mem? bers of the leas tie, who were sworn to burn every house, kill all stock, and, it that did not intimidate the rebels, to kill a few of them. Our community is in a state of great oxclte mont to-night."and the town is heavily pat? rolled with police. Great excitement and con? sternation prevail among the freedmen. Port Sinpsou was leador of the organiza? tion; the other two have borne a bad repute for years. Two of the three ringleaders were not arrested. AU ot thc guilty parties, as far as known, have beon summoned to testify against tho fourth man. who gave bail. [Dispatch lo the Memphis Appeal. THE EPISCOPALIAN OVERTURE TO THE METH? ODISTS.-A number of Episcopalian clergymen in New Jersey signed a memorial to tho late Methodist General Conference, asking for tho appointment of commissioners to confer with the representatives of the Episcopal Church, which are proposed to be appointed by the General Convention soon to meet in New Yoi?. Such commissioners were appointed by the Conference, (Drs. Mcclintock, Curry, and others.) and now a corresponding momorial is to go to the House of Bishops, asking for the reconstruction of a commission of Bishops appointed many years ago on Christain Unity, of which Dr. Mcilwaine IB the only survivor. Tho Convocation of York, in thc Church of England, has lately passed a resolution cordi? ally welcoming "auy practical attempt to effect a brotherly reconciliation between the Wes? leyan body and the Church of England." What is called the "British plan" of reunion contemplates the admission of Wesleyan preachers to holy orders in thc Church ot Eng? land, bv a process called "hypothetic*' ordina? tion," like what is now used as "conditional baptism," with a permission to continue the use of extempore prayer, except for tho sacra? ments. The movement is unquestionably pre? mature, thc members of neither sect being in any degree prepared to make the necessary concessions. The Episcopalians will not allow extempore prayer in church, ind thc Metho? dists will not submit to thc authority exercis? ed by the Anglican bishops. We have farther particulars of tho disastrous earthquake in youth America. The loss of lifo has boon terrible, exceeding by far the figures already reported, in Ecuador, it is stated, that of Cotacachi, a place of over C5, 000 inhabitants, Ibarra, with 15 OOO, and Octa vulo, ol 10,000-tinco of thc largest cities in thc North of Ecuador-literally nothing is 1 ft but ruins; and of thc 90,000 human beings who peopled these places it is feared over two-thirds have perished. Besides theso large cities, it is reported that hardly a town or village in the northern part of tho republic has escaped. In Peru the loss of life is placed at 4300. The de? struction of property in the towns of this re ?ubhc was immense; but owing to tho imo which elapsed betweon the rumbling announcing thc earthquake and tho shock, suf? ficient warning was given to the people to es? cape into thc open fields, away from the falling houses. Chili appears to have suffered very slightly, the towns on the coast feeling the shock and being washed by the e^thquako wave, but receiving no great damage. The distress in Teru fi om the destruction of pro? visions, and of thc apparatus for condensing and storing frosh water, was very great. The United States vessels in thc Pacific ports were conspicuous among other foreign men-of-war for their activity in transporting food to the ruined towns. Tho Lima papers have publish? er semi-officially highly complimentary arti? cles concerning thc humane conduct of the commanders nf the Wateree, Koarsargo and Nyaek. The stores taken from. the Wateree arid distributed at Arica among the people will amount in value to $400,000. -The Yorkvillc Enquirer says : "A correspon? dent ol' the Charleston News, in a recent issue, states that Governor Scott has boen informed that civil process cannot bc executed in York District. Since reading thc statement we have made diligent inquiry of the sheriff and such of the constables we have met concerning the mat? ter and havo not beard of a Bingle instance where any such officer has been opposed, in any way, in'iho discharge of thc duties of his office. Snme wee.s ago the Deputy United States Marshal of this district made an attempt to seize a distillery, belonging to one Stowart, a Radical living iii tho vicinity of King's Moun? tain, who threatened to either kill orbe killed beforo he would surrender his still. This has probably been got into its slanderous shape by certain parties for campaign purposes. York was never more quiet or liw-ahiding than at tho present time. A few Radicals will, now and then, create a little difficulty, but the peo? ple ol' York must not be made responsible for what these fellows do." JOS" T. H.

Many w?o read the above simple record will be painfully reminded that a dear friend and compan? ion has passed aw?y forever from earthly ties and associations "Thc churchyard shows au added stone, The fireside mourns a vacant chair." A happy home has been darkened by the shadow of death, and a loss create 1 that can never be sup? plied.

But, alas 1 ber expectations were not realized. After a short sojourn sho returned home to die. All that parent, sister and devoted friends could accom? plish to alleviate her sufferings and prolong her life proved unavailing. The fiat had gone forth, and she sank to her eternal rest as calmly and sweetly as a summer sunset.

To use a homely phrase, the torrid sum? mer v eather "takes tho starch out of people," and leaves thom limp and languid The fires of vitality burn low. The naturally feeble aro un? usually dt-pressed: tho naturally strong are not as vigorous as they might bc. Sovcn-eichths ofthe com? munity feel more or less the influence of the atmos? pheric changes which produce the malarious dis? eases common in October and November. It is as a protective against the effects of these changes that HO^TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS have obtain? ed no small portion of their celebrity. The GUE ix VEGETABLE TONIC OF THX AOE is not only a specific for Chronic Lyspepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness, and Nervous Complaints, but also a preventive of malarious epldsmics. Whoover wishes to bo insur? ed Pgaiust an attack of intermittent or remittent fever (both of which prevail to a nieUncholy extent all over the country), will do well to resort, without delay, to this famous invigorating and anti-bilious specific. Quinine bas had its day. It leaves a sting behind, and physicians aro beginning to discard it. But HOS TETTER'S BITTERS becorao more popu? lar aud command a vaster sale with each successive se'.sou, simply because they produce a better medi? cinal efl" 'Ct than auy of tho powerlul poisons used as tonics, and arc at OD co a safe and palatable pre? paration.
