WASHINGTON. RESIGNATION OF MLNISTKB DIX-VALEDICTORY OF COMMISSIONEB ROLLINS-ANTHONY FOB PRESI? DENT PBO TESL OF THE SENATE-SENATORIAL CAUCUS- DEMANDS OF SOUTHERN SENATORS. WASHINGTON, March 10.-The resignation of General Dix, Minister to Frauce, has been ac? cepted. The Supreme Court is hearing tho argument on a mandamus, compelling a collector of taxes to receive bills issued by Tennessee banks be? fore the war. Commissioner Rollins made a valedictory address in which he said that the interests of the revenue had beon sacrificed iu order to force an unworthy policy o? reconstruction on an unwilhog people, and that bad men and I bad women had controlled tho Presidential nominations. He said also tbat tho ccuntry has abundant reason to believe that the ex? pectation of pardon will not hereafter stimu? late violations of l he revenue laws. Judge Hoar qualified to-day as Attorney ^General. ?- General Hatch, Colonel of the Ninth Infan? try, will succeed General Howard in the Freed? men's Bureau.

A motion not to consiuer the Georgia ques? tion this session received only seven affirma? tive votes. Thayer, Edmunds, Sumner, and Carpenter urged its immediate consideration.

ADVANCE OF THE GOVERNMENT TROOPS TO PU? ERTO PRINCIPE-SEVERE ENGAGEMENT-DE? FEAT OP THE INSURGENTS. HAVANA, March 8.-Tho government has made public official dispatches giving details of the advance of General L'Esca from La Guanaja to Puerto Principe. On this march tho heaviest engagement since the beginning of tbe rebellion occurred. General L'Esca found the enomy, to tho number of four thousand, strongly entrenched in the Sierra del Cubitar. Artillery was brought np and commenced a vigorous fire upon" the works. Covered by the batteries, a column of regular troops, fifteen hundred strong, attacked tho enemy's fortifications with tho bayonet. Both sides fought with determi? nation, he havoc was fearful. General L'Esca reports his loss at thirty-one killed and eighty wounded. The loss of the rebels is estimated at upwards of one -tiiousand killed and wounded. The government accounts claim a victory for L'Esca, and assert tbat thc insur? gents arc much disheartened by their defeat. A dctacbineut left Puerto Principe Tri.' Santa Cruz to secure supplies brought to that point by thc fleet. They returned on tbs 2d instant with prisoners and ammunition, having made the march both ways without serious interrup? tion. The entire available force of tho insurgents now under Qucsada is estimated at seven thousand. _ SPARES PROM TUE WIRES.

A quantity of tobacco was seized at the touth Carolina Railroad depot in Augusta yesterday for violation of tho revenue laws. It was consigned to merchants at Savannah. WENDELL PHILLIPS ON GRANT. The Latest Blast Against the south Ko Schoolmarms, no Capital-An Ex? aggerated Beast Butler Wanted-Thc Cannon and thc Scaffold for thc lt cb cl J. Wendell Phillips delivered a lecture at the Tabernacle, Jersey City, last Saturday evening, on "Thc Times." The first portion of bis lecture was confined to a retrospect of tho anti? slavery movement. He then struck tbe key significantly by saying that tho first great question of the times is, ,rWh it is the will to rei(,n at Washington ?" Men aaid that we would know everything after tho 6th of March, but we are no wiser now than wc were on the 3d. The silent man has spoken, but what docs ho say ? That ho will carry out the will of the people. Then all hail to the chief who will cai ry out tho people's will. Yet I, for one, see no pretence of states? manship either in the chief who takes tho helm or in the men ho calls to his aid. Still I do not despair or despond because he docs not call to the government tho great minds of tho nation; we have got enough of great men (laughter)-and, thank God, we have got rid of tho whole of them. (Renewed laughter.) When men go to Washington to eec tho statesman they go to the Navy Department. (Laughter.) The lecturer here related an incident of the war in connection with Secretary Welles and the commander of ono or our war ves? sels, and continued. Thc South, to-day, is J laLdof anarchy, of blood and of insecurity of property, becauso the outgoing President call? ed to his aid the white men of tho South, and trusted the element of secession. Eight mil? lions of Southern rs, bred in secession lor thirty years, were not converted by Gettys? burg. A mistaken idea incarnated in a genera? tion never gets out of it. They adhere under all circumstances, and both are buried iu ouo grave. There are certain steps which, once taken, aro irrevocable. The South stands to? day having taken that step which cannot bo retraced. Andrew Johnson has gone to Ten? nessee, but tbore-stands tho South with ah the consequences of that step staring ber in the face. Thc nation has to fight thc battlo over aeain. 'Iho South wants capita). Thc North offers money and schoolmarms, and thc Souib replies. "Wo will bave your money but not your schoolmarms." Thc long history of An? drew Johnson is to get capital, not schools, down South. Grant, with that stalwart, rigor? ous, despotic right hand of hts, means that a dollar shall go South in front, with a Yankee ou the one side and a schoolmarm on thu other. Thc President tells us in his fino inane ural that the Fiftee nth amendment ought to Docomo law, that the debt of the nat on should bc paid, citizens protected, Ac, and there he leaves us. He leaves thirty millions of people to shape their own future. That futuro is easily shaped. When Ben Butler was in Now Orleaus you cou'd travel down South with millions ot dol? lars iu your possession; you could stand in a public square aud read tho Declaration of In? dependence; you might wave your hat in salu? tation to the stars and stripes and feel perfect? ly safe. Now :f we could have a Ben Butler large enough to cover thirteen States the thing is done. What (J rant listens for in tho White House is to know what twenty millions of peo? ple want him to do. We hope he will go down to Texas and make it safe to plant the flag there-he has not dono it yet-and it will add a laurel to his wreath even greater than he won on the battle-.iekl. Thora is one laurel, 1 re? peat, which Grant has not earned yet. Oliver Cromwell said that he would make thc name of Englishmen such a power, such a terror to enemies, that on Englishman might feel per? fectly safe even though he stood on tho verge of the civilized world, and he did it. Wo want Grant to imttate that example Wo wont him to undo the history of ave terrible years, to employ that cannon now lying idle in Wash iutrton to such a purpose that a man may travel through any pat t cf the South and say, "I'm a ?Dion mwv without fear of molestation. The Eu-Elux shall thou fly away. I would bave scaffolds erected in tho'South, and whoncver a murder would bo committed, I would hang tho perpetrator os high as Haman. (Ap? plause.) The great shame of the Ptosi dent to-day is that he has not done this. The moment he does it all England aud the North will rush to the South in one great crusade of business. Tho Senates may then dissolve and the annis be disbanded. Let the Fifteenth amendment be made a lino in the constitution. We have submitted in a coward? ly manuer for four years to a traitor President for our own peace, and if the work bo not DOW accomplished ourchildreu will have to fi;'ht thc battlo over again. U another administration like the one just ended had succeeded, the crisis of war would come even sooner; we would have the peril at our very doors. Only think how narrowly we escaped. Seymour camed New York by tho help of a moo, made up of rowdies and the lawless element, against Giant with the brave soldiers who conquered the re? bellion. Only a little moro on that side and we were doomed. The contest was so close that there is nothing like it on record. The times have also another meaning, name? ly-that tho war has taught us that neither in Congress, nor the Executive, nor in adminis? trations, can we trust for the success of re? publican institutions. Tho great security and stability of our governmeut are founded on the education of the masses. Aristocracy was killed on the scaffold with Charles thc First, and to-day it holds the English people in slavery. So with us. Wo have killed tho root, but thc treo lives. Ono thing can bc said of Grant, that words from his lips mean more than those uttered by other men. His mes? sage is a promise, and it will be carried out to the lotter. 1 have no doubt he will rigorously execute every law that Congress puts into bis hands. Eat Congress should cover the 8outh with cannon, banners and scaffolds till tull security of person and property is enjoved, and till it can be said with truth, "wo will have peace." AFFAIRS IN TUE STATE. Horry. Tho . Conway boro' Sentinel says tjat not more than twenty-five cases were returned for tie approaching term of the court. This is due to the following facts, that no cases under one hundred dollars were sued, and secondly, because of the general 6pirit of indulgence which prevails in our commuuily between creditor and debtor.

[FROM orrs OWN* CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., March 9,1869.-But very little outside of the ordinary routine business was transacted up to tbe meeting of tho two houses, in joint assembly, for the purpose of electing Trustees of tho University of South Carolina. The following bills which had passed the Houso were real lt first time in thc Senate: A bill to establish a lazaretto or quarantine hospital in thc harbor of Charleston. A hill to vest io Isaac G.

A a bill to incorporate certain societies in the City of Charleston received its third reading, passed, its title changed to that of an act, and tho act ordered to be enrolled. A bill to declare tho mode and terms upou which money be borrowed by County Com? missioners, received its first reading, was ordered for a second reading and considera? tion to-morrow, aud to be printed. A bill to provide for the uniform and proper promulgation of all lognl and public notices was read a sec?n! time. Tho rules wcro suspended, the report considered immediately, ana the bill taken up for a second reading. * A bill to charter tho South Carolina Central RoaUoad, with amendments, was ordered for consideration to-morrow. A bill lo carry into effect the provisions of thc constitution .n relation to the right ol' property of married women, passed its second reading and was ordered to be engrossed. IN THE HOUSE, DeLargo, from the Commit? tee on Ways and Means, reported a bill to facilitate the negotiation of State loans. Read first time. Elliott, from the Committee on Railroads, reported favorably on a Senate bill to incorpo? rate tho Watereo and North Carolina Railroad Company. The bill was ordered to lie over for a second reading. Tunis, from the Committee on Lico.pora tions, reported favorably on a bill to alter and amend an act ontitled "An act to incorporate the Village of Marion, and for other purposes therein mentioned." The bill was ordered lo li? over for it, eecond reading. Also, favorably on a Senate bill to alter and amend the charter of tho Town of Greenville, and tor other pur? poses. Laid over for a second rcadin?. * Jervoy introduced tho following concurrent resolution, which was adopted, and ordered to be sent to the Senate : Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, That tho General As? sembly lescinds its action whereby no bills or resolutions of a permanent character shall bo introduced alter tho fir3t of March tor two days. Jervey also introduced the following joint resolution to repeal tho charter of the South Carolina Railroad Company : Be it resolved by the House of Representa? tives of tho State of South Carolina, lue Seuato concurring., That tho charter of tho Sou-li Carolina Railroad Company bo, and thc same ?8 repealed, until said company complies wilh tho provisions of section ono ot net entitled, "An act re-onacting tho Civil Rights bill of tho United States i;ongtoss.

GRANT'S EIRST VETO. President Johnson's Pardons Revoked A High-hand rd Proceeding. The New York World of Monday says : On Saturday afternoon aiter President John? son's pardon of thc Dupuys hail beou received at tho office of tho United States Marshal, District-Attorney Courtney telegraphed to Commissioner Rollins at Washington to ascer? tain if all was correct. Tho lollowiug icply was received soon after : --WASHINGTON, March C, 18G9. "Samuel 67. Courtney, Esq, United Slates Attorney, Ao. 41 Chambers street, New York City : ..J, have ju3t scon tbe President, who instant? ly ordered the withholding ot tho pardon of the Dupuys. I have sent lo tho State Department lesee if tho pardons were issued. If tho Mar-dial has them let lum withhold them. Thc Presi? dent is in earnest about this. E. A. ROLLINS, Commisaionor." At a late hour, tho following dispatch was received at tho Marshal's office : "WASHINGTON, March G, 1869. "Robert Murray, Esq , United Slates Marshal, New York City .' ' If Jacob and Moses Dupuy have not been released, you will regard their papers as can? celled and return thc same at once to this De? partment. E. B. WASHBUENE, Secretary of State." The pardons were immediately ieturncd to Washington in compliance with thc above order. District-Attorney Courtney tben, in order to prevent tbe possibility of a bogus pardon being received at Albauy and Sing Siug. whero tho prisoners aro confined, telegraphed to those pinces, directing tho officers in charge to ignore any paper purporting to bo such pardon. The Tribune, in noticing tho matlor, says : Tbe pardon was in thc marshal's hands about three-quarters of au hour. It will bc soon that it is conditional on tho payment of thc fines imposed upon the two prisoners. Th .-so lines were never paid, and, of course, tho pardons were not at any time in force before they were recalled. Tho marshal cannot, therefore, bo cbaiged by the i'rionds of tho disappoiuted prisoners with dereliction of duly, as he had no authority to set tne captives ?roo until the last farthing of thc fines were paid. -With reference to>'spiritual photography," a correspondent of thc New York Sun writes: "I have in my possession some of thc trick spiritual shadow pictures produced nearly ton years ago. Ouo of them represents a grave and elderly gentleman, with thc shadow of his departed wife dimly visible in a halo of light just behind him. Thc trick was done by sud? denly uncovering a portrait set on a white sui faco against thc dark back screen at the mo? ment before the sitting was completed. Whilo I was in Cliicaso, some years ugo, a shre wd photographer there fleeced a well known pro? fessor of animal magnetism, who believed that a spiritual nimbus perpetually shone about bis hoad, by picturing him wilh a blessed halo around his venerable caput. So completely did he decoivo the old gentleman that thc latter was induced to advauco bini a considerable sum of money to set up a spiritual photograph gallery, and waB rudely awakened from his dream of confidonce by discovering one day that thc tellow had sold out and decamped with his lll-golteu gains." HIXTS OX AGRICULTURE. Large Farms and Small. Tbc Prairio Farmer, published at Chicaso, oue of tho best agrcultural papan in Ihe land, informi us that a gr? at change of opinion has taken place in (hat region in respect to large farms. Horetoforo small farms wore the rage; now tho ambition is for broad acres. Infor? mer times this passion was confiuod to the South, largo farm-J alono being considered profitable; but since the war all this is chang? ed, and subdivision is the order of the day. We can tell tho Farmer that this change at the South, wherever it has taken place, is not the result of choice, but necessity. Wo are as thor? oughly persuaded now, as heretofore, that largo farms are alone profitable; wo aro not referring to truck farms, which are governed by entirely different rules. That our farming operations since tho war have been so unpro? ductive, hos been maiuly due to the fact that the extent of our operations has been curtailed and limited by tho demoralized condition of our labor and by insufficient capital. This may not always ba tho case. Our adrice to our far? mers is, in all cases possible, to retain their broad acres-employ cotters, tenants-resort to aDy expedient to tide over present difficul? ties, so as to retain land for extended and prof? itable operations. Small farms-except as truck patches-never can be remunerative to I a mau of enterprise and capacity. They will notju8tify the use of costly labar-saving ma? chinery, aud without that (hey canuot com? pete with large farms. The roasotis stated for large farms in thc North aro applicable here and everywhere. We subjoin these reasons, ns given by tho Farmer : In tho North we have had tho reverse of al? most everything that took place in the South. Our farmers have been growing rich, and ac? cordingly collecting means to go into farming on a more extended scale, ihe scarcity of labor during and sinco the war has had tho effect to bring out every kind of labor-saving machinery. Inventive ingenuity has produced a machine for doing almost every kind of farm labor that was once performed by the hand alone. A machine drops our corn, covers, hoes and harvests it; while the present season has perfected another contrivance that may pick and husk the corn. A machino sows our grain or drills it, on ground ploughed by a gang plough, while others reap, bind, thresh and winnow it. Cut ling hay has become, al? most as much a mechanical operation as mak? ing cloth-since it is cut, spread, raked, loaded and stowed away all by machinery. Now, what is the tendency of" labor-saving machines ? Largo farms, as a matter of course. A mau will Dot buy a hay tedder who haB hut a few acres of gross to cut. For a corn patch ol' a dozen acres ho does not want a corn plan? ter, gang plough or sulky cultivator. Perhaps wo might state tho case clearer in this way : Manual labor is .dearer than machine labor; machine Ubor is profitable in comparison with tho amount of land that it can bc used on. Consequently, the larger tho farm aud the greater the amouat of tho machinery thc more profitable it will bc. In fact, tho question must soon be met, can fifty sma'lfanners, with ltttlo orno machinery, compete successful! v with one larmer who owns as much land as all of them, and who has abundant machinery for working it? But there is another cause which exerts a powerful infltienco m favor ol larine farms. Since machinery has romovod the drudgery from farming, an.I railroads have mado prices of every kurd of crops lemuuorativo, men of mind and mcaDs have selected agriculture as a business in which -to employ their talents and money. Wo have millionaires, scientists and literati now ongaged in an occupation which a few years ago was considered us de? grading. These men arc not content nnd ??ever will bc co?tent to farm it on a small scale. Specialties in funning will also loud lo pro? duce lame farms; but when ?1 man's attention is devoted to one thing his success is much more probable than when it is divided among a dozen; and success in business means expan? sion in business. Already specialties in tann? ing arc fast becoming the rule; men arc not formers iu ttie old sens? ol'the word ouy inure; they oro stock-breeders, dairymen, wool-grow? ers "anil grain-raisers instead. They have nar? rowed tno number of their pursuits that they may give what remains a wider scopo. Hints on thc Uso of Draft Horses. "If a horse cannot lay to his work, and bond his head down when ho dosires to do so, bo 8Ui o that ho is not properly harnossed." Whenever a horse is employed for the pur poso of drawing any vehicle, it is of the utmost importance that he should be able to employ all his strength to advantage. Every one who considers at all, must acknowledge that if a horse has to do his work in a cramped or con? fino 1 condition, or wnoii he is inconveniently placed as icgards thc load, ho cannot exert his full power, which is so much loss to his master; or, it forced to perform a certain amouut, that he is obliged to wosto a great deal more of ins strength (or muscular power) than is re? quired, to his own great pain and injury. Tho question how to properly attacti the horse to the vehicle is, therefore, ono of tho greatest iniportauco toovery master oho wishes to get a proper degroe of work in a fair and rational mariner. Yet, from being unacquaint? ed -.vith tho principles, few examine closely ?ti? to thc practice; an immense deal of horse strength is wasted every day cu loads which, if properly attached, might have been comfort? ably moved with far less trouble, exertion and pain. The act ot pulling ispcrformc.1 by leaning forward, with tho weight of the body against the resistance of the opposing force, and then, by strong movements of thc limbs, keeping up arid increasing tho pressure: tho weight of the bady being ol'tho utmost importance, os any? one ni ay try by pulling at a rope passing over ooo shoulder, and standing upright all the time. It will be lound that what waa before pulled with ease cannot now bo moved at all, or, at auy rate, only by tho most sovero and coutinue-d efforts of the limbs. These muscu? lar movements, exhausting the strength, try the system violently, whereas rho body-weight ia easily employed without consuming tho vital energies. From the upright position of a man's body, he is not fitted to draw loads. If, thcrcforo, this great difference is perceivable with his light frame, how groat must bo the waste ot Btrength when tho horse ia prevented from throwing his whole weight fairly into tho col? lar? Yet this is constantly tho case through various causes. First, and, unfortunately, in too many cases, the collar is quite unfit for the animal. Ahorse collar is, we are sorry to say, frequently look? ed upon merely as a ring for the neck, to which the traces aro to bo affixed; whereas there is no part of the barucas which is so im? portant and which oucbt to fit so accurately. How often is a little collar, only fit for a pony, jammed on tho neck of a much larger animal, so that every pull he makes gives tho lecliug of strangulation, and that will, in all probability, cause some kind or tit, ii long continued, be sidos its liability to gall a.id wring the poor animal's shoulder. When this has taken place, tho work cannot bc fairly pe: formed; and to do it all, tho anguish of the poor horse must bc indescribable. Secondly, thc horse is often prevented from throwing his weight into thc collar by a check rein-a uselo-s and painful inonmbraiice, in? troduced by vanity and retained by thought? lessness amounting to cruelty. Ask lir-rso kecpers why they use it, and hardly any ouo will give the same answer, although it is gene? rally supposed by them tob?? agr??t safeguard in cns*? ot Btumbling. The real object wu ti .which it was liiltoduced, was to make every hor.-e to which it was applied, however weak or old or poor, assume thu lofty carriago of the thoroughbred horse; auu tho tossing ot rhe head, the foam ol tho mouth, and the restless agitation of the body (mute, but expressive signs of pain and suffering) come, in a little while, not onlv to be disregarded, but even looked at with approbation. Fortunately this vitiated taste is rapidly going out of fashion as better information is diffused. Few ol' the London eab-drrvcrs uso cir .ck-reius, knowing them tc be inconsistent with proper work; and when ono is observed it will invariably bc found to bc on some poor animal whose wea? ried and haggard appearance is attempted to bc disguised by this implement of torture. Thirdly, a great cause of unnecessary pain a:;d labor to many horses, is a neglect iu kcep mg tho' wheels properly greased. "'Some per? sons may not be aware," says Hieover, in his work on' Bipeds und Quudrapetls, "that thc trifling neglect ol' a pair of wheels being com paratively dry or well greased, will cause tweu ty miles to tain moro out of a horso than forty would in tbe latter cose; yet wheels absolutely screaming from dryness arc often seen, and heard, attached to carts and wagons, ?cd thus would the brute in human form let thom scream till he had reached his jonrnev'B end or finish? ed bis day's work, though his horses were drawing from such causo at least one ton in four of resistance more than they would if the defect were attended to." Men who hare loaded carts and driven horses all their lives, ought to know how a horse should be worked to his master's advantage and bis own comfort; but tho fact is tho gene? rality of working men know little and care less on the subject. If this is not so, bow is it .that wo frequently nee the following error ? A disproportion between the vehicle and the ani? mal. May not a person everywhere observe a fault of this kind?-a little horse staggering nuder tho weight of a high and heavy cart, whicb, if the load bo in front of tho axle, shows the shafts runnins absolutely down? ward; or, if behind tho axle, nearly lifts tbe unfortunate creature off his legs, plac cing him in a position in which it is impos? sible ho can exert his power at all favorably: and, on the other band, bow often is a tall horse seen between the shafts of a low gig or cart, pulling the shafts upwards at a sharp angle ?-a position just as awkward and disad? vantageous, and wasteful of animal power as that mentioned before. /atteral Mices.

This in effected partly by theactlon of a solvent, call? ed the gastric juice, which exudes from the coiling of the stomach, and partly by a mechanical move? ment of that ergan, which churns, as it were, the dissolving aliment. The CHYME passes from the stomach into the duodenum, or entrance to the boweis, where it is subjected to tho action of the bile, and tho nutritious portion of it converted into fluid called Chyle, which eventually becomes blood. Now, it is evident that if the great solvent, the gastric J nico, is not produced in sufficient quantity, or if the mechanical action of tho stomach is not sufficiently brisk, the first process of digestion will be but imperfectly performed. It is also clear that if the liver, which plays such an important part in changing tho nourishing portion ot the CHYME into the material of the blood, is congested, or In any un. natural condition, tbe second process will not be thoroughly accomplished The result of the two failures is dyspepsia, complicated with biliousness. The mode in which HOSTETTER'S BITTERS operate bi such casos is this: They Invigorate.the cellular membrane of the stomach, which evolves the gastric juico, thereby insuring an ample suffi? ciency of the fluid to completely dissolve the food. They also act upon thc nerves of the staunen, caus? ing an accel-ration of the mechanics! movement necessary to reduce the food to a homogeneous mses. They also act specifically upon the liver, strengthening it, and so enabling it to produce an ample and recul?t supply of bile, for tho purpose of converting the nutritious particles of the Chyme into Chyle, and promote the passage through the bowels of thc useless debris. In this way HO?TLTl'ER'S BI ITTERS cure dys? pepsia ami liver complaint. The explanation is plaiu. simple, philosophical and brae. March G DAO G ?5- SARATOGA "A" SPRING WATER. Saratoga, in thc SI a'e of New York, is ono of the most remarkable mineral reservoirs upon the surface of the globe. Within an aroa of a mile in diameter arc some thirty mineral springB-no two of them alike In ?onie of the waters, Chlorido of Sodium predominates; in others, Iodiuc, Magnesia, Sulphur, Chalybeate, Ac. The beneficial effects of some of fhcBC wi ter?, as medicinal ogonts, are known throughout the civilized world. Probably one hun? dred thousand persons visit these Springs unnually. Many huudnd thousand bottles of tho water are transported aod consumed In thc various localities of tho country. The SARATOGA "A" SPRING WATER is pro? bably tho inuit effective mineral water found on either continent. It will bo observed that it has ten per cent greater mineral properties than the cele? brated con tress Spring; lour times that of Baden Baden of Austria; five times that of Alz la Chapelle in Pru-sta; twiee that of Vichy in France; newly three times greater than the renowned Seltzer of Germany; and equally over tho Spas of Bath, Eng. land, aud Kissengeu in Bavaria. Thc reputation of this waler is based upon its effects in diseases of tho stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys, and silicon, and acts with wonderful bene? fit in cases of Chronic Dyspepsia, Constipation, Gravel, Gout, Scrofula, Cutaneous Affections, Gene? ral Lethargy, Soreness, and Prostration ot thc sys? tem. The value of mineral wa'cra has been prized and acknowledged by medical men since the earliest fvili7.ition.
