The dispatches announcing a surrender aro erroneous. The insurgents luve some artillery and occupy an important position. General Caballero de Roda with a considerable force is marching to assault Cadiz. The National Guards have been em? ployed to keep order and protect proper ty in Madrid. There is great excitement in Malaga and other towns, but open revolt only at Cadiz. A rising is momentarily expected in Catalonia. Aims and ammunition have been landed at Cadiz for the insurgents, who aro acting with great determination and will fight until the last. Both parties respect the American flag.

LONDON, December ll.-The following are the comments ot the press hero on the Presi? dent's message. The News (Radical) says: "President Johnson's persistent opposition is tho cause of the partial failure of reconstruc? tion measures. There is no hope of unity and j peace un'il Grant's accession." Tho Standard (Conservative) strongly deprecates tho Sen- j ate's refusal to hear the massage. Thc Herald (Conservative) says: "Ibe message comments upon itself. Everybody interested in American affairs will view it as a warning protest and testament of a statesman politically dying." WASHINGTON. CONTESTED ELECTION CASES-THE M'ARDLB CASE AGAIN-THE OASfi OF Mit. DAVIS, ?C. WASHINGTON, December ll.-IN THE HOUSE, the Election Committee meets on Monday to consider a Missouri contest, which will occupy tho session.

He waa of opinion the repeal did not effect the McArdle i oase.and judgment should be pronounced. Alter consultation Judge Chase announced that the court would hear argument on the subject, leaving counsel to fix tho time. Finally, it was setted to argue tho case on the first Friday of February. Tho argument on the Louisiana confiscation cases has been closed. The motion to advance Mr. Davis' matter on tho docket did not como up. The Rcconstxuctior.

[ITOM OCH OWN COEBESPONDrST.] COLUMBIA, S. C., December 10, 1&S8.-The telegram, in THE NEWS of thia morning, rela? tive to the election of JuxLje of the First Cir? cuit, was calculated, perhaps, to givo an erro? neous impression. Thc President's opinion was not given nntil after Mr. Carpenter's elec? tion. A question was asked, by a member, as to whether a person residing in one county could be elected to office in another. The President, in reply, said that every member must himself be the judge of a candi? date's qualifications, but that, according to parliamentary writers, the party voting for a candidate disqualified before hand from hold? ing office threw away his vote. IN THE SENATE, this morning. Mr. Buck, Democratic senator from Horry, presented a petition signed by a number of colored citizens of that county praying the General Assembly, . that in whatever system it may adopt in refer? ence to the educational interests of the State, 1 it be provided that the children of the two races be educated in separate schools. They say they are induced to make this petition by th? firm belief that any system without Buch a provision would be a total failure. The peti? tion was referred to the Committee on Educa? tion. Swails presented a communication from the County Commissioners of Williamsburg, rela? tive to the trestle work over Black Bi ver, used by the Northeastern Railroad. They say the trestle work from this side (Kingstroe) to Salter's Depot has been tilled up and will not allow the water to tun eff, thus keeping the nblio road in bad order, and in a condition angerous to the travelling public. They pray the passage of an act to compel the railroad company to open the trestle on Black Biver to OJ to keep the road in good order. Referred to the Committee on Claims and Grievances. Mr. Jiilson presented tho memorial of the Board ol Trustees of tho Roper Hospital, of Charleston, praying for an appropriation of four thousand dollars for the support of that institution. Referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Greene introduced tho following : Resolved, That the Attorney-General be au? thorized to employ the services of two compe? tent legal gentlemen to aid in the preparation of the various papers necessary tor tho con? sideration of thc General Assembly, which was ordered for consideration to-morrow. Mr. Hayes, from tho Committee on Claims, to whom was referred the accounts of Dr. Charles E. Dupont. Dr. W. L. Templeton. Dr. W. P. Geiger, Dr. Elliott Cowes, Dr. F.^ L. Green, Dr. W. R. Jones, and Dr. J. F. Culpeper, for post mor em examinations, reported back the same, and nay that although the commit.ee have no doubt but that many of these claims are just, yet as tho law in regard to their pay? ment is very clear, the committee feel bound to recommend that they all be rejected. Or? dered for consideration to-morrow. Air. CoibiD grave notico of a bill to amend an act entitled "An act to regulate the practice of the Circuit Courts in certain cuses." Mr. Jiilson introduced a bill to ratify, con? firm and amend the charter of the Charleston South Carolina Mining and Manufacturing Company. The Dill received its first reading and was ordered to be considered to-morrow. Mr. Hayes introduced a bill to make appro? priations for the per diem and mileage ot the members of the General Assembly, and the salaries of the subordinate officers, and other expenses incidental thereto; and a bill to iii the time and place of judicial sales, and a bill to amend an act entitled "An act to regulate attachments," which were read a first time. The following acts and joint resolution were duly ratilled: An act accepting the donation of lands to the State of South Carolina for iLc endowment of agricultural colleges. An act to provide assistance for the transient sick poor in the various cities and towns ot this State. Joint resolution for thc relief of Mrs. Marv A. C. Hobbs. Thc bill to amend ' An net to establish a State Police" came up for a second reading. Swaiis moved to amend thc bill uv tim addi? tion of the following section: bEcnoN 2. Deputy constable?, when re? quired to tiavel ou duty, shall receive, in ad? dition to their per diem, their actual travelling expenses, to bc verified and approved as here? tofore enacted. Aud all acts and parts of acts conflicting willi this act aro hereby repealed. A brtct but interesting debate arose upon lliis amendment, which was participated in by Me.-srs. Wright, Swails, Nash and Hoy t. Nash said thc amendment was equivalent to raising the salaries of tho deputy constables. He thought they were getting too much now. According to his understanding of thc original bdl, they were to be paid only when on actual duty, out he had read an order from the chief constable which instructed some of his depu? ties to consider themselves on duty all the time. These persons aro getting three dollars a day. He (Nash), as magistrate, had the ac? counts of some of them certified to bafore him, and he remembered on one occasion a consta? ble who swore to an account for sixteen days' service, telling hun that he was afterwards re? quested lo swear to thirty-two days, but refus? ed, saying he would not swear to a lie. It is a well known fact that when some ot these de? puties were sent to the upper parts of the State to hunt up disturbers of tho peace, they took the back track towards the seacoast. They only discharge their duties where it is perfect? ly safe, lt is believed by citizens of Newberry that the murderers of Lee Nance are at large in that county and coule be arrested. Some of the deputy constables were sent up to Newber? ry, made arrests without warrants, and werb put in jail. R. H. Cain. Do these men, while in jail, draw their pay? iNaah. Ccitainly; they are on duty so long as they are safe; but when bent to hunt up tho murderers of Nance and Randolph, they aro off duty. Ho was willing to pay mon for their services when faithfully rendered, and pav them well. He hoped this amendment would not pass. Mr. Corbin said there was not a senator but was willing to givo these 0 instables proper coaipeusauonjbut he was opposed to what was a particular evil, namely-constructive ex? penses. Io say they shall be paid actual ex? penses, gives an opportunity to enter in an accouut of all constructive expenses. He would rather pay a fixed sum per mile, say twenty cent.->, tallier than psy constructive expenses. He boped thoy would not open the door to such accounts. The nrncndment was rejected. The bill to facilitate tho drawing of jurors in this Stato was read a second time, considered, passed and ordered to be sent to tue House of Representatives for concurrence in the amendments. ihe bill introduced by R. H. Cain to extend an act authorizing und regulating the creation of private corporations, on motion of Mr. Cor? bin was laid on the table. ih: Corbin eaid he had given notice of a bili to regulate tho foi in a< ion of ccrporaiione under general laws. He had neatly complcfrd tho Liu, Thc old law was not eatieiaetory to him; still it embraced mau? features whioh proposed to incorporate in the bill hepropoc to introduce. If the old law was to bo enacted, then he desired to offer very matei amendments. His bill would make the 1 more general iu its character, so as to relie tho General Assembly of the necessity constantly granting new charters. In I judgment it was better for corporations to formed under general laws. Then everybo knew what their rigjts were. IN THE HOUSE, the Speaker read the folk lowing communication : NEW YORK, December 1, 1868. Mr. Speaker Moses, of the General Assemi of South Carolin* : I have the houor to hereby respectfully t( dor my resignation as a member of the Hom from Beaufort County, on account of iii heall I remain, your obedient servant. GEO. A. BENNETT. The resignation was accepted. W. J. McKiulav, from thc committee whom was referred the report of County Coi missioners from K-rshaw County, transm tine to Ibis General Assembly the result their transactions, recommended that the sai be returned to the County Commissioners Kershaw, with the following amendment : Tho attention of County Commissioners Kershaw Cou.dy is called to sections ll and of an act entitled "An act to define the jun diction and duties of County Commissioners also of article V, section 10, of same ai which will give thom all necessary informatic first, as to division ot townships; and secon as to mode of procedure for assessing ai raising taxes. On motion of G. Lee, the report was adopte Sasportas, from tho Committee on Engros cd Acts, reported as duly and correctly 0 glossed for a third reading a bill to incorp rate Calvary Bapti.-t Church, of Charlesto Laid over for a third readiug. The enacting clause of the bill to establish health officer was stricken ont. A. J. i?anaier introduced the following, whic was adopted: Whereas, Tho Colored Orplian Asylum, Charleston, occupying the Elliott Mansioi and supported by the uovernment of the Uni ed States through the agency of the Bureau Freedmen, Refugees and Abandoned Lands, w cease to receive aid as such from this souri i after the 1st of January, 18G9; therefore, Resolved. That tho Committeo on Educ tion be, and tboy are, instructed to report, 1 soon as practicable, a bill providing for tl support and maintenance of said Asylum I the State, and to inquire into the expedient of changing tho location of the same. R. C. DeLarge introduced a bill to amend a act entitled "An act to define the jurisdictio and duties of County Commissioners," wbic was read the first time. G. Leo presented tho petition of certai citizens of Charleston for a charter for a mil tarv company. R. C. DeLarge presented tho account of I P. Porcher, M. D., for post mortem examins tion. Ur. A. Smith gave notice of a bill to repet the fence law in Christ Church Parish. A bill to repeal an act entitled "An act to rc peal the charter of the Town of Hamburg, was read tho first time. Mr. Tomlinson gave notice of a bill to rene1 the charter of the Charleston Bible Society. A joint resolution directing tho State Treas urer to pay 8. L. Loa ?hart, late Comptroller General, $184 93 for extra services during th months of July and August, 18G8, was take; up and read a second time. A bill to regulate the sale of spirituou liquors, by apothecaries, was indefinitely posl poned. A joint resolution relieving E. W. Oliver, lat Sheriff of Fairfield County, of aponaltyoffiv per cent, per month, upon executions no returnable by him, was read tho second time. A bill to prescribo tho manner in which al debts contracted prior to May 1, 18C5. shall b< collected iu this Stato, was put upon its secon reading, ?nd tho ouactius. clause stricken oui A bill to punish sherill's and other officer for violating the Homestead law was trcatc in tlie same way. Tho bill to incorporate thc Calvary B iptis Church, ot Charleston, was read tiic thin time, passed, and sent to the Senate. Tho bill to incorporate the Citizens' Saving! Bank was diocusscd. and its further considera lion postponed until to morrow, at 1.45 P. M A. Smith, of Charleston, introduced a reso lution to allow members par diem dune g th< icceBB, which, after a groat deal of laughter was withdrawn. A. J. Rausier introduced a resolution to ad jouru on thc 22d instant. Numerous motions woro ma'le, and a length1 discussion ensued. Slr. Tomlinson hoped thc matter would corni to a speedy conclusion, and that thc House would at onco reaolvo to take a recess, or sav< time by emphatically voling it djwn. Rausier Baid no concurrent resolution coull prevent members from drawing their per diem during a rece?s. He thought, at least, it would be unconstitutional, ile thou lead sec? tion 23 of the constitution. It was. ho said sheer nonsense to insert such a clause in a rc solution as would depnvo members of then pay or poi- diem. Uuder the constitution hi could get his per diem. However, let then take the recess, and on their return obt.iin th< opinion of tho Attorney-(Jouerai ou thc sub ject, R. C. DcLaige believed that a majority 0 tho General Assembly desired lo act right ii this matter, his constitu? ional friend (Randier to the contrary notwithstitiding. The expen ses are $1000 a day or $14,000 for fourteen days He intended to call tho yeas and nays to pu members on record, and "to let the people sci who it is thal desires to draw from tho trcasu ry of tho Stale money for performing no ST vice. Even if they were entitled to pay, as Lit learned friend (Ransirrl had told theni. lie bc hov. d they would refuse to ?eeept it frilhoul rendering snmo service as na equivalent. Mr. Jenks was not willing to vote .'VT -icm hers to draw pav when they perio.'in nu so: v.ce As there was some ?ou'/t auto thc constitu? tionality ot the matter, bo moved to lay thc whole matter on the tuhlo. The motion was agreed to. An animated debate took pince on thc furlher consideration of a bill to ineoipoiatc '.ne Citizen's Savings Bank. Mr. Jenks moved to futiber amend section 1 by adding, after tho last word m thc section, tho following words: "And satisfactory evi? dence of the same furnished to the Cotnptrol General." Agreed to. Mr. Jenks moved further to amend soction 2 by etrikmg out all the words bctwoen thc words "United States, ' in thc fourth lino ol tho priutcd bills and tho words "to lend money," on tho sixth line of thc printed bill. A?reou to by a vote, on division, of yeas, 41; nays, 24. Whipper said the gentleman from Charles? ton was aiming to kill the bill, und he resorted to this method to do so. Mr. Jenks said ho only wanted to act as pro? tector to tho poor depositors, who, as oppor? tunity offer, deposit their little mite. The poor laboring man bas no time to look into thc workings of the savings bank. It is cuough that helcuowB that the Legislature of his State has chartered tho institution, and believing that they did as they professed to do-protect thb poor as well as the rich-ho is satisfied. Mr. Tomlinson opposed this bill last session and will thiB. Ho did not want to conter on auy institution the powor to dabble in any and all kinds of stocks, notes, etc., without afford? ing tome security to tho depositors. DeLnrge believed the amendment very good for two reasons: First, as a protection to tho depositors; and secondly, as tending to tho advancement of State securities-adopt this amendment and compel them to invest m State or Unite! States stocks. He thought this section should bc recommitted for a radi? cal chaugc. They should not bo allowed to invest depositors' money in whatever notes, terip, stock ?cc. tiiey desired; nor should they bo compelled to invest solelv in C'-rta.n kinds of atocles. While the savings bank should be protected so also should the poor depositor be secured. He hop-d II?B colleague's (Jenks) a monument would be adopted. Whipper said ho could not understand tlie opposition. Tho corporators happen to bo men of another political parly. Th:s oom.sany only asks to bo incorporated ou tho nstial plan, and why endeavor to insert an amendment that will at onco take tlie lifo out of th . bill. Tho amendment proposod wiil date.it Uie intent and meann g of tho bill entire y. Tlie bill was then made thc special ord^r for to-morrow. I fi::d I was in error in Baring that DeLarge. Elliott, &c., opposed Crews' rosolution relativo to thc disoharge of employees. Thc resolution was referred without debate. It should have been stated th nt Dor argo, Elliott and others opposed tho Legislature's meddling with chancellor Carroll's decision. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Reception ot thc President's Message Any Indecorous Language Proper to Represen tat [vin-Pushing Legislative Business-Cabinet Appointments to be Deferred-Patching and Tinkering Stanton to be Shelved In the Supreme Court-Senators who have no Cabinet Pretensions. Thc Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes under date of the 9th inst.: There was a violent party demonstration in each House of Congress to-day when the mes? sage was received from the President of the United States. The language of the documont was denounced in severe terms, and in the Senato tho reading waa suspended, seve? ral Radical senators remarking that tbey had had enough of it for one day, and would sooner take it in broken doses. A point of order was raised in tho Hause by Democrats, who claimed that tho Bcpublicans were using unparliamentary language in pro? nouncing the message au " infamous paper," but the Speaker ruled that it was a freo country, and the representatives ot the people had a* right to criticise tho action of public nfficersinany language they thought proper. It was only yesterday these same gentlemen indignantly refused to receive a communication from tho State of Oregon because language had been used which thoy considered indecor? ous and scandalous. In the case to-day it happened to be the Speaker's bull and somo other person's ox. For tho first time ainco the foundation of the eovcrnmcnt, it is probable that important legislative business will be transacted, or seriously attempted, before tho "holidays." It hos become obvious enough that if what is desired to be dono shall not bo fully completod antorior to the formation of tho Cabinet, tho Radical party in Congress will become so demoralized as to be unable to agree upon anything. I accordingly learn from a trustworthy source, that the loadeis have determined to prevent Grant from settling upon the heads of departments until late in the session. In the meantime, exertions will bo made to patch up some financial sys? tem; toretinker ti'0 "reconstruction" laws, and to cover tho whole country with negro suffrage, &c &c. I arr. less sanguine of the removal al this session of the disqualifications under which Southern men pow labor. Tho forma? tion of the Cabinet having been deferred, and jealousies already existing between tho new Presiden t and certain ambitious aspirants for official honors, tho cause of equal rights as ap? plied to the white man has been essentially damaged, although bills have thus early been introduced looking towards the accomplish? ment of a pacific purpose. From what has been said, it must, of course, be inferred that from the information avail? able to mc, all the stories telegraphed from this point as to Cabinet'arrangements are to? tally at fault. Beyond the fact that Genoral Grant expressed i week or two ago some per? sonal preferences (which, under existing cir? cumstances aro of little account, if any,} noth? ing has transpired giving tho slightest in? kling as to the composition of tho Cabinet. One of the reasons for delay is the potent necessity of disposing of the case of Mr. Stanton. It is proposed, I hear, m this connection, to increaeo the number of Su? preme Court Judges and shelve him to that sanctuary. Tho law, as it now stands, limits the number of judges to seven. This limita? tion must be repealed beforo tho first step is taken in Cabinet-making. I learn that Mr. Stanton prefers such a Judgeship (except the Treasury-a thing out of the question) to any Department, with a reversion oi tho Chief Jus ticeshi > itself, which may become vacant cu? ing the next four years, in the cnaptcr of ac dents. In this connection I may also add that Senators Sherman, Fessonden, and Trumball have no Cabinet pr?te unions. Tho better opinion, however, seems to bo that these gen? tlemen desire to control the ?ippointnaout oi Secretary of thc Treasury, and will make a fuss if their influ.ucc is totally ignored-but their man has not yet boen trotted out. AFFAIRS IN THE STATE. Edgcficld. Of salo day in Edgcfield tho Advertiser eays : "In many cases lauds sold decidedly bettor than at any limo sinco the close of tho war.

Hutchinson, late British Con? sul at Rosairio, has just published, in Lindon, a volume entitled "The Parana; with Incidents of the Paraguayan War, and South American Recollections from 1861 to 1868," in which he gives a very interesting account of a littlo Swiss colony at Baradero. Ten families of farmers went out in 1856, and each obtained a grant of about eleven acres of land to be need chiefly in growing potatoes. Other famines followed their example, and in the course of twelve years a thriving little republic has been established and become a model worth copy? ing. Mr. Hutchinson says: The land which is thc public property of this settlement is a square league of nine square milos in extent, with another piece on tho northwestern side of about half a square league. This latter is where the original Swiss colony was begun. On both of these grounds, excepting tho eighteon plots of 200 yards in front and SOO in depth, donated to the carly settlers, 350 other plots, oach of 200 yards in front and 200 in depth, with 200 quintas of 100 yards by 100 are held on enfiteusis. Between each lot, on its four sidos, a public street has been left of twenty yards' width in the Quinta District, and thirty in thc Chacras, according to tba plan drawn out in 1856, by Don Edwardo S. Urban, commissioned by the provincial gov? ernment to survey the settlement. Tho unoc? cupied, and, therefore, uncultivated lots (of course independent of now streets) are set down as 452 chacras, of 200 by 200 yarda, and sixty-three quintas of 100 by 100 yards each. Practical proof as to tho prosperity of this colony is found in the present condition of its coLimunity. Some of these poor but persever? ing people on their arrival had a little money, which tnoy invested in cows, horses, bullocks and fowls. For tho first year they lived in mis? erable mud ranchos, earning a subsistence by selling eggs and butter, and often having no merit to feed upon except flesh of the biscachas. The earliest comers were French Swiss, but the , greater number of those who an ?vod after 1858 were German Swiss. From Senor Pineiro's report I shah extract a few examples of the success fhat has attended their efforts: John Tenoud, French Swiss, a farmer in his nativo land, and forty-nine years of age on his arrival here, with eleven in family, possesses now a capital of 800,000 paper dollars, the greater part of which is put to interest or in? vented in sheep. James Cardmoaux, French Swiss, a farmer in his own country, thirty years of age on his arrival, with a family of six persons, has now a capital of 150,000 paper dollars, placed out at interest, as well as invested in^sheep. Amongst the second lot of eight families, came Claudio Jamer, a Frenchman, who had a small wino and flour store in Fiance, forty five years old at tho timo of hia arrival, with one grown-up son. Ho holds to-day a mill worked by mules, in which are invested 43,000 paper dollars, of his earnings hero, and is comploting the eroetion of a windmill, recent? ly brought by himself from Franco. This last named mill coat 52,000 paper dollars. He has, moreover, two plots of farm ground, a house with one room and an azotea roof, and a two roomed house with straw roof. He is not now in possession of much money, as he has laid out all his gains un his mill erection; but ho may bo considered an independent man, inas? much as he is perfectly froc from dobt. Besides these, we lind a list of German Swiss, 1 many of whom were obliged to biro themsrlvca out as laborera on their arrival, and who, hav? ing como hero only einco 1858, may not be cx ; pectcd to have acquired much capital. But seo what Geimun perseverance ia doinsr al the 1 Barado; o colony, a?d as it is doing in every part of tho world. L John Schaor, German Swiss, a brictmakcr in his own country, thirty-eight years of age, self and wifo being his ail in family, exhausted his funds on reaching here, as did all these after-mentionct'. Has now a capital of 100,000 paper dollars, ono half lent out a" interest, and the ofhor half invested iu the house or in working animals. 2. Felix Sehacr, Qerrnau Swias, day laborer in his own country, twenty-eight years of agc on arrival, with four in family. Has now a capital of 100,000 paper dollars, two-thirds at interest, with thc remainder invested in work? ing tools and animals. 3. Nicholas Herein, German Swiss, a butch? er in his own couti try, thirty-eight yean ot age on his arrival, his wife and self constituting his whole family. Ia now io possession of G0.000 paper dollars, which he has invested in tho samo intu? uer as tho ^diners. Tho names of Androw Schaer, a boy only nineteen years of agc on his arrival, and now possessed of 20,000 paper dollars, with a houao; of Fcrdimnd Scuchbawn, with 40,000 paper dollara; of Alexander Humbert, willi 30,000; and Joao Maltii;, with 50,000, provo what can bo done by agriculturists in the Argentino repub? lic. Thc whole colony contains two hundred and three dwelling houses, atid, allowing seven persons to eich house, thc ratio at which thc Argentino population is generally calculated, wc have thus one thousand four hundred and twenty-one individuals in what a few rears ago was a community of only ton families. Tho chief produce which they raiae may bo enumerated as maize, wheat, barley, potatoes, boans, peas and onions. Jefferson Davis, thc r.x-Prcsident of the Confederacy, as a Public Speaker. By tho foreign mails wo Sud that Mr. Jefferson Davis's remarks on tho Holy Land at Leamington, England, erroneously report? ed by the cable as a lecture, were no moro than a little speech made by him on rising to second a vote of thanks io a gentleman (Riv. Dr. Tristam) who had lectured on "Buried Jerusalem11 before the members of the Local Philosophical society. Mr. Davis made various allusi ma to the Holy Laud as thc cradle, humanly speaking, of civilization, as well as tho Christian religion. Referring to tho dotnohtion of the Temple, ho observed that, although all must regret thc ru'n of a structure so much connected with the early history of religion, yet we might be consoled with the belief that ii was necessary that the Temple should fall, in order that thc Star ot Bethlehem might be seen of all men. Ho expressed his gratification at hearing,. Jrom thc lecturer (Ser. Dr. Tristam) that tho Palestino cxplorationshid been in? augurated under the patronago of English? women and executed by Englishmen. It was becoming a wuman-for she was the last at the cross and tho first at tho sepulchro-to commence the explorations in confirmation of the great ttuths of Christianity. And it was well for Englishmen to undertake the work of exploration, for their blood was mingled with that of thc Norsemen, with the Saxons, the teachers of the harmonious conglomeration of liberty and law, community and independence, individuality and self-will; and with the troubadour, tho knightly soldier, repre? sented in the Norman. "These thrco cle? ments combined in Englishmen, lcd to adven? ture, to lovo or truth, and gave thc heart lo Jo whatever the will might desire. Tho divine truths upon which onr happiness here and hereafter was engrafted, had been more and moro established as science had trodden in thc path of revelation. Such explorations as those which Dr. Triatam had narrated had revealed things not before fully comprehended, and shown that, as they progressed, truth would bo more and more established, 'Tor her years are eternal."

So tar as their general uso lu the United States is concerned, this moy bo true. It is also true that the came Htters were made and sold in the Island of bt. Thomas, over forty yean ago, as any old planter merchant or sea captain doing business with the West Indies will tell you. It is distinctly within my recollection that on thc return of my father (who wai a sea captain, and doing an extensive trade in thc tropics,) he would invariably have these Bitters anions the ship's ste ires, and our f:mily sideboard was never without them. Tor any sickness, il mat tt-rs not how severe or trifling, the decanter of these Bitters, by a differeut name, was always resorted lo as a sovereign remedy.

Vor thia dist casing malady, and parent of Innumerable ailments a6 distressing as itself, the Bitters are tho only article proved by expenenco to be a universal and unfailing remedy. But although it was as a remedy fo: dyspepsia and biliousness that they first obtained predige twenty years ago, it is now well understood, both by the public and the medical profession, that their curative properties take a far wider range. In nervous complainte, spasmodic aflcctions, fever and ague, and every vari? ety of general and local debility, their effect is moat salutary; and asa meana of preparing the system to resist damp, cold, poisonous elementa in tbe water or the air, privation, exposure, kc, no medicinal agent at present known can be justly com pared with this "powerful yet harmless tonie. The leeb'e and sensitive, who can ill withstand the Inclemency ol the winter season, will find thc Bitters exactly the article they need to fortify and sustain them. December 706 Sapping.
