It is now ascertained officially that the naval expedition which left New York on Wednesday is to take possession of the Bay of Samana for the United States. It will be remembered that the treaty for the parchase of this naval station was negotiated, bot was not ratified by the Senate. A portion of a self-appointed delegation bad an Interview with the President to-day for the pur? pose of urging the annexation of the Dominion of Canada to the United States. It did not ap? pear that any active steps in that direction had BO far been taken. Judge Dent, the Conservative candidate for Gov? ernor of Mississippi, had an interview with Presi? dent Grant this evening, and found the latter in iUsposed to give General Ames a jy instructions about the coming elections. Juc'.ge Dent returns to Mississippi next week. [FROM THE ASSOCIAT! D PRESS.] WASHINGTON, November 12. The case of thc United States vs. Tennessee railroads is compromised by consent of counsel. The roads will remain In possession of the respec? tive company organizations, and after paying running expenses and interest on State bonds, the balance of earnings will be subject to the claims of the Federal Government. Tnis action defeats the motion of the government to place the roads in the hands of receivers. It is thought that an equitable settlement will show that the FiXleral Goverment is largely indebted to the roads. Revenue to-day $443,000.

TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD. Another Carlon? Case. The Philadelphia Ledger relates that this ope? ration, which consists in the actual transfer of the blood of one living body into the veins of another has been recently performed in the Pennsylvania Hospital under the following circumstances: A young man in the upper part of the city was wounded on the inner surface of the upper Hp by tripping and falling on the fragments of a pitcher which he had been carrying In his hand. The wound continued te bleed for ten days; after which time the patient was sent to the surgical wards of the hospital, which were at the time under the charge of Dr. T. G. Morton. Several remedies were then applied, and the arteries sup? plying the face were tied, but without success In controlling the flow of blood. Rceourse was next had to cutting down to the common carotid or great artery of the neck, and applying a ligature, so as to obstruct entirely thc course of thc blood in it. This was done on thc 18th or October lost. The oozing of blood still continued, but In les? sened quantity. On the following day, or the 19th, the patient was in such a state of extreme exhaustion from the long-continued hemorrhage, that his death seemed to be imminent, and, as a last resource, Dr. Morton resolved to try the effect of trans? fusion. Wc sholl not pretend to describe the ap? paratus used on the occasion, or the details of thc operation. Let it suffice for us to say that two medical students bared their arms and gave the blood required for the occasion. Five ounces and a half of their blood were Infused into the vein of each arm of the patient, the marked good effects of which were evinced In Ave minutes by a rally? ing of the pulse and otherwise beginning reac? tion. There was no further discharge of blood from the original wound, and In ten days the pa? tient was able to walk m the ward, and rapidly regained strength Whatever may be the termination of this case, regarded as one of a wound with complicated symptoms, there can be no question of the entire success of the operation of transfusion, and of its saving Ufe and restoring the patient, for a while at least, to the exercise of his ordinary functions. -An eminent physician says that the white rub? ber used for nursing-bottles and Infants' toys is very poisonous, causing sore mouth, skin erup? tions, decaved teeth, spinal curvature and death.

[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.] COLUMBIA, November 12-9 P. M. The State Fair closed at 5 o'clock to-day. The weather all day was bright and clear, and at least five thousand persons were present. At l o'clock, the premiums were awarded by General Johnson Hagood, the president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society. The following premiums were awarded to ex? hibitors from Charleston: To G. W. Williams A Co., honorable mention for ajar of dissolved bone. Bradley's raw bone fertilizer, exhibited by the same firm, was highly commended. The committee declined to award any pre? miums for fertilizers. A premium was awarded to C. Graveley for a cotton gin and patent ploughs. A premium was awarded J. E. Adger A Co. for the Watt plough and for a sewing machine. The submerged pump, exhibited by Jennings, Thomlinson A Co., was recommended to planters and others. To Robert jhisolm. for a jar or olives grown in South Carolina, was awarded a premium of $5. To Ceo. E. Pingree, for Ellerbee's transplanter, a premium of $5. To H. T. Peake, General Superintendent South Carolina Railroad, a gold medal for a new combi? nation steel and iron rail. To Miss Mary Frost, for over-socks, a silver medal, i To Miss Susan B. Hayne for an infant's worsted skirt, a silver medal, and for a worsted tidy, five dollars. To W. G. Whilden A Co., premiums were award? ed for gold-headed canes and for sliver-ware. To W. Bell Smith was awarded a gold medal for a model of a furnace for expanding and re? moving railroad tires. To Walker, Evans A Cogswell, for the best writing paper, a gold medal; and ror the best book binding, five dollars. To W. S. Henerey, a silver medal and premiums for Henerey's improved cotton gin, for Dotter er's seed planter, and for vertical and under run ner corn mills. The Committee on Cotton, consisting c f Messrs. W. G. Hinton and J. T. Dill, of Charleston, and J. M. Blakeley, of Columbia, awarded the prize offered by the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, to J. M. Crawford, of Columbia. Thc prize is a very handsome silver pitcher, and ls given for the best ten bales of cotton. The other contest? ants foi the prize wc : R. O'Neale, of Columbia, B. H. Rice, of Union, and R. E. Ellison. After the prcaiums had all been awarded, there was scrob-racing and horse-jumping matches. Willie G uignard, or Colombia, was injured by the falling of his horse while jumping. His Injuries are very serious, and it is feared that he will not recover. After thc Fair had closed, sales were made, at good prices, of a large part of the stock which had been exhibited. A number ot miscellaneous articles were also sold. There was no tournament to-day. Appropriate costumes were lacking, and there was no dispo? sition to mar the uniform brilliancy of the Fair by a partial success at thc close. The festivities end to-night with a ball at the Columbia Hotel. A large number of visitors to the Fair left Co? lumbia to-night homeward bound. Notes of the Fair. Among the specimens or manuracturcs are sev? eral rolls or leather-kip, cair, sole and harness exhibited by Colonel Thomas, of Columbia. This leather is tanned here and, looks, and doubtless is, as fine as the best bought in the Baltimore market. The entire material ls of native growth except the dressing oil. The exhibitor claims that he can manufacture this leather at mere reason? able rates here than it can be bought in the North. Labor is cheaper, fuel is cheaper, mate? rials are from our own woods and hills, and can be gathered at less expense. The old channels of trade, however, arc sometimes hard to turn. KAOLIN. There is on exhibition by Dr. Morse, of Green? ville, a specimen of Northern kaolin flue or chim? ney pipe, to be run between the timbers of Train? ee buildings, thus saviHg the expense or chimneys of brick, as ls usual. The flue ls four by twelve inches, and costs in the North about 25 cents a foot, while transportation and breakage run the cost up to thirty or more. Mr. Morse claims that he can manufacture a ie?Ta colfa Due or same use, durability and safety, at his ractory in Green vUle, at a cost of about 20 cents a root. Feldspar and fine clays abound in Greenville. Earthen? ware is also on exhibition, Identical in quality with Northern wares, and can bc sold here for less money. A COMBINATION RAIL. Thc new rail invented by Mr. H. T. Peake, the General Superintendent or thc South carolina Railroad, which takes the gold medal, combines all the advantages or thc steel and thc iron rail. As is well knowu a steel rail is too brittle to bear the pounding of heavy trains running at high speed. The irou rail ls not hard enough and wears out rapidly. And the steel-faced rail, on account of the unequal expansion and contraction of face and body, soon becomes unserviceable, thc face peeling orr. The Peake rail has all the softness and toughness or the iron and all thc hardness of the steel. It is made In two parts. Thc lower part or thc bed, ls made or iron uud is spiked to the ties in the usual way. Into this bed Ats a cap of steel which is secured by bolts passing through the bed. This cap or head ls hard enough to bear the heaviest travel, while the elasticity of the bcd makes breakage virtually impossible. Ncr ls there any loss of spikes in changing the head of the rail. The bed will scarce? ly wear at al!, and, when thc tics are good, the bolts are unscrewed, a new head is slipped in the bed, the bolts are made fast, and spikes, bed and ties are not ;a any way disturbed. Mr. Peake has already applied for a patent for what promises to be a very useful invention. PORTABLE FURNACE. The portable turuace ror shrinking and remov? ing tires, patented Ly Mr. W. Bell Smith, is a val? uable invention. One bushel of charcoal will shrink on any size tire, two and a half inches thick, with one-sixteenth allowance for expan? sion, In less than thirty minutes, and will remove an old tire in less than twenty minutes, not heat? ing the wheel centre enough to injure the paiut. Thc furnace is spoken of very highly by our first practical machinists and railroad men. CLOTHS. Thc biack doeskin, beaver cloth, cassimere and flannels exhibited by the Rock Island Manufactu? ring Company, of Charlotte, N. C., attracted gen? eral attention. These goods are or linc quality, and show the rapid progress made by the South in attaining a manufacturing excellence of which her people may be proud. WARTS AND CLOTHS. The cotton yarns .md cloths of the Batesville Company arc of fine texture, and won the admi? ration or every housewife, as did thc warps ex? hibited by the Saluda Factory. BOOTS AND SHOES. Vogler A Co., or Salem, N. C., exhibited a case or boots and shoes of all kinds, from the tiny gaiter of the lady, to the daisey-crusher or the roll grown man. The shoes and boots are well made, and are sold at a low price. They took the prize the Raleigh State Fair. THE BIG DOO On exhibition is a large dog, or the St. Bernard breed, which breed or dogs, according to popular belief, live altogether with monks in out-of-the way places in mountains, and as soon as the snow lays well, rush out, pick up frozen travellers laying around loose, place them upon their back carry them to the monasteries, and request a Ut tie wine and food for their burdens. This animal a fine specimen of a canine, and is owned by gentleman living in Columbia. He bas giv several indications of his humanity and affection ror human beings, by chewing up the arm or little girl, and yesterday bit a man who was standing near the railing, inside of which he chained. A veiy pretty young lady very prettily called him "Bruno," ''Bruno,'' and he appeared to like it so well, that he Induced the young lady to pat him, whereupon lie snapped at her hand and succeeded In tearing off ?1 portion of her glove, fortunately not injuring b.w. He is not fond of dogs, and, it is said, that when his master turns him loose to "air" himself about Columbia the resident dogs immediately go to see their country relatives, and there remain until St. Ber nard is rechalned. The Visitors and Hotels. The hotels during the Fair have been packed and jammed, and from each house come start ling tales of omnibus loads of visitors turned roomless away. At thc Columbia Hotel, where your representative has stayed, four hundred and eighty persons were accommodated at one time. Tills was accomplished by squeezing and doubling up, and the proprietors and their as sistants showed a laudable desire to make every one comfortable. They did stow half a dozen persons in one room and make one wait an awrul time for dinner; but they did all that hotel keep ers could do, kept thc crowd in good humor, and maintained the reputation of the house. Mr Davis, the bookkeeper, and Mr. Kinloch, thc clerk of the Columbia Hotel, were as untiring and energetic as they were courteous and atten tlve. AN UGLY INCIDENT. The crowd, which has made thc town and it hotels present a very lively appearance, conse quently makes every one uncomfortable; all, how ever, bear their little troubles with most cora mendable patience. Thc difficulty experienced in obtaining sleeping quarters is very great. Last night at thc Columbia Hotel pallets were spread in the barber shop and in the parlor ror the male boarders. Early this morning they were turned out or both places. Onc,*howcvcr, who had his pallet partly behind a sora, slept on arter thc oth ers had made their toilets and had gone. Abou seven o'clock many voices and laughter aroused him, and to his intense horror he saw that thc parlor was nearly full of ladies. To think with him was to act. His clothes were under his head. Placing these inside of thc blanket, which he then rolled gently around him, and with head and ears and feet covered, rolled hastily out of the parlor; then bounded to a place of safe? ty, leaving his boots to the mercy or the ladies whose surprise at seeing a mass or what-they knew-not moving rapidly across the floor, can be better imagined than described. REWARD OF MERIT. During tne aay, a cuiureu woman, witli a hus? band who is about fifty-five or sixty years of age, bearing In her arms three female Infants, and surrounded by eight children, applied for tickets of admission. On lt being stated that a short time since the three infants were born unto her at one birth, she was granted a free pass. She and all of her children appear to be healthy. The Meeting. The State Agricultural and Mechanical Society met again last (Thursday) night. Various re? ports were made. For the year 1870, the Execu? tive Committee were authorized to expend $10,000. The following officers were elected for the ensu? ing year: Johnson Hagosd, president; Dr. A. M. Forster, William M. Lawton, William Wallace, Thomas W. Woodward, vice-presidents; D. Wyatt Aiken, secretary and treasurer; w. s. Henerey, Edwin McIntosh, J. B. Palmer, J. P. Thomas, R. J. Gage, Executive Committee. Hon. John Town? send having declined a re-election, his place has been filled by thc former eltlcicnt secretary or the society, Col. Gage. On motion, a committee was appointed to nominate delegates to the Macon Agricultural Convention. THE EMPRESS IS THE EA ST. How Eugenic was Greeted by the Grand Turk-Tin Mother of the Sultan Snubs his Fair Visitor. A Constantinople lotter of October 13, to the New York Tribune, says: It was a bcautirul sight when the Empress' yacht, along with twenty steamers, came to-day into thc Bosphorus, which was almost literally covered with caiques. Thc Empress was on deck with hair a dozen other ladles all the time. In about ten minutes the Sultan, who had been wait? ing lier arrival at the palace, came out to her yacht in one or the most magnificent of boats, manned by twenty men, with a gorgeous throtie and canopy at the stern. Arter some difficulty in getting alongside thc yacht, thc Sultan rushed up thc stairs with no little empressement. She met him at the top with a cordial greeting, but did not kiss him, remembering, perhaps, her own reelings when she saw Napoleon kiss Queen Victoria. They then fell back and looked at each other a moment. As they could not talk they did the next best thing; they bowed at each other, and then the Empress went down luto the Sultan's boat. He followed Imme? diately, and they sat side by side. She wore a plain high necked dress of straw-colored satlu, with a trail two yards long, and a bonnet of the same color. Thc current in front of the palace ls very strong. Five hundred caiques and twenty five steamers crowded with people were jammed togelherin liorribleconfusion, and I can hardly un? derstand now how we all got out of it without loss or life. The Sultan, on landing, conducted the Em? press to her apartments and left her to rest there rorsomc minutes. He then presented to her all the Ministers of the Sublime Porte and thc runctioua ries or the palace.and hastened across to lils oillcial place at Dohna Baghdie, whither the Empress followed him in about an hour, to pay her re pec ts to thc Valide Sultana (Sultan's mother.) This old woman is, by unalterable custom, su? preme within thc palace, and she docs not at all approve or thc way In which thc Sultan is dis? gracing himseir with this bold-raced Infidel wo? man. She has thrown every possible obstacle In her way. ami made herself Just as disagreeable as she dared. She could not refuse to see her to-day, but she overturned thc arrangements of t he Sultan by reruslng to receive thc Empress with Musta? pha Pasha's daughter as lady in waiting and in? terpreter. She said she would teach Mussulman girls not to learn infidel languages and not to as? sume Infidel customs. The visit ol thc Empress to her was short and ronna!, and she passed out or Ute harem Into thc apartment or the Sultan to dine with him in state. No doubt thc Valide Sultana ground her teeth with rage, and no doubt she will rate thc Sultan, ror lils indecent violation or all propriety; but thc deed is done, and she will rave lu vain. A shameless female giaour has gone where even thc Sultan's mother was never permitted to go. This shows more real pluck on the part of thc Sultan than you can well realize. Thursduy, Eugenie received thc diplomatic corps at Beyler bcy. In conversation with Mr. Morris, our mlnls Ister resident, thc Empress declared that there was nothing which she more desired than to visit America; that she was only waiting ror some pre? text for going, which she hoped would be round before long. She conversed with a!l the ladies in their own languages. She speaks English re? markably well, and certainly looks more like an English than a Spanish lady. During the recep? tion, she wore a robe of amber satin, with a very rull train, (with hoops, too, I believe,) trimmed with mauve velvet; her bounet was also amber colored. Her only Jewelry was a pear! necklace, and she wore no ear-rings. C VRRENT NOTES. -Sugar beet cultivation has been com? menced in California on an extensive scale, and experienced workmen and the best machinery for making sugar, have been Imported into thc country from France. -"The number of women studying medicine at the University of Munich," says the Pall Mall Ga? zette, ' increases steadily in geometric progres? sion. Four years ago there was but one, thc next year there were two, the next year four, last year there were eight, and there are now sixteen. We are assured (it is true by a partisan of the move? ment,) that none of thc inconveniences which it was feared might arise from women being al? lowed to share thc school with men have at pres? ent been experienced, the classes are as large as ever, and thrAlean reports that the Innovation has undoubtedly improved the discipline of the school.'' -It is asserted that the moans of communica? tion with Bolivia, which now requires a six months' voyage around Cape Horn, can be facili? tated and the time shortened to forty days, by making use of the River Amazon, as the route from the Atlantic side. The tributaries of the Madera, one of the branches of the Amazon, pen? etrate into thc interior of Bolivia, and it is as? serted that the construction of a railway or a canal one hundred miles long around the rapids will give easy access to the region in question. The cost of the work is estimated at $10,000,000, and an agent of Bolivia who has been negotia? ting with English capitalists to procure this sum, lt is reported, has met with encouraging success. The products of Bolivia arc gold, silver, cotton, coffee, cochineal and calisaya hark. -The November numebr of the Druggists' Cir? cular and Chemical Gazette, under the head of "Notes and Queries," gives its opinions of "the practice of doctors exacting a percentage from the druggist for their recipes, and also of thc druggist who would allow such a swindle to be perpetrated on the customer." "in such cases," lt says, "neither the doctor nor thc druggist is any better than he should be. Wc have no good opinion of dishonesty, and we don't believe we Shall ever think that robbery is just. If the doc? tor arranges with the druggist for a share of profits on prescriptions, he knows well that he must levy from some one an unearned contribu? tion, and as the druggist expects to live by his business, he carries clandestinely the levy to thc pocket of thc doctor's patient. In short, the doc? tor uses the apothecary to extort money, to which he is no more entitled than thc footpad is entitled to the pnrse to which he has unceremoniously helped himself from the pocket of the wayfarer.' -The Cologne Gazette, in commenting upon the influence exercised upon the Emperor Napo? leon III, by Lord Clarendon, the English Minister for Foreign Affairs, contends that his advice was thc moving cause of thc changes recently made in the Constitution of France. Thc Gazette asserts that Lord Clarendon, finding that recent events had prepared the French Cabinet for a peaceful policy, made the best use of the golden opportunity, and showed the Emperor that a mo? derate reform would deprive the opposition of its sharpest weapons, and help to secure his dynasty. In foreign affairs Lord Clarendon recommended non-intervention in German matters, and that every step which might hurt the pride of Prus? sia should be avoided. It is asserted that Clar? endon has never used his influence to impede the reconstruction of Germany, notwithstanding the general belief that his leaning towards Aus? tria and his friendship with Napoleon would ren? der the relations of Prussia and England less cor? dial than they had been during the administra? tion of his predecessor, Lord Stanley. -Complete tranquillity, lt is officially announc? ed, now prevails over thc entire peninsula of Spain. The capture of Valencia, it ls asserted, put a finishing stroke to ?K- ?pei aliono -c n,A revolutionists, and the city is now quiet, mon? archists and republicans going freely and quietly about thc streets examining thc destruction caused by their dissensions. The force accumu? lated for the capture of Valencia, where the in? surgents amounted to about 10,000 ill-trained men, was out of all proportion to the resistance expected. The Spanish army consisted of thirty battalions of Infantry, two thousand cavalry, fifty-six field guns, besides a heavy siege train. Resistance was, therefore, useless, and the policy of crushing out the revolution at once, though at a heavy expense, was less injurious than a pro? tracted conflict. Bexar, where a republic bad been proclaimed, held out for a short time after Valencia fell; but as soon as news of the ap? proach of the regular army was received, the In? surgents abandoned the town. One or two petty encounters with the remain? of thc Insurgent ar? mies followed, but resulted in their defeat and dispersion. -A European letter writer says or American girls in Europe: "I do not wish to undervalue English beauty, which is most satisfactory and enduring, and most or which will wash. But I confess that American beauty, from New York to New Orleans, has spoiled my eyes for any other. I fear you do not half appreciate them at home. Herc they admire and envy them-that ls, the men admire and the women envy. On thc conti? nent they rave about them. Hair a dozen Ameri? can girls send a whole German town distracted. It is not only their beauty and grace, but their will, spirit, and happy audacity. The continental customs ravor their triumphs. No girl over there ever dares to say her soul ls her own, let alone her body. An American girl, on thc contrary, as? serts her freedom, goes wherever she pleases, talks with every one she cares to talk with, says da to a German at the first introduction, and orders him about Just-Just as she would do at home. He ls overwhelmed and astounded, but all the more delighted. He tells his friends that thc beautirul girl he waltzed with said (fit to him, and told him to bring her a glass or water, which sets them all crazy to bc introduced to her, hear her say du to them, and be made water-carriers like? wise. Next day thc whole town is talking about her, and staring at her. Thc women arc in a rage; but thc result is the conviction that America must be a great country, iucrcascd emigration, and the consequent progress or civilization." A SHOCKING RECITAL. Disgraceful Criminal Practice In New York-A Mur tcrcd Man's Head Severed from tlic Body nm! Laid Before Ute Supposed Assassin. Some time last Mareil the body oi'a man named Joachim Fuertcr was round, horribly mutilated, lying in a Held near New City, Rockland County, New York. Antoine Maurer, a Frenchman, was Subsequently arrested, tried ror murder, round guilty and sentenced to be hanged on ihe Pth of December next. A correspondent ol the New York World gives a long account of the incidents or the murder and Hie trial or the condemned. The writer then says: Circumstances more startling than any that have ever accompanied the administration or jus? tice in this country, I believe, marked tho course or this trial. That they have never before occur? red has been due to the enforcement of the prin? ciple-running through every code and statute book-that every advantage for defence shall bc given to the accused, so tneir existence in this ease ls to be credited to the thirst for vengeance upon the supposed murderer that has been, since last spring, upon every man's lips in this horror stricken couutrv. That I have to write these facts, that have" never before been published of any court of justice in America, is one of thc evidences of thc decay of our judicial integrity: and let me express the hope that publicity will raise a fervor or indignation against these per vcrtcrs or justice that will help to prevent a re? currence of their ghastly deeds. During the time that FueiWs body lay unre? cognized after its discovery in the corn field, the thought of severing the head from thc trunk and preserving it for identification seized the mind or the prosecuting attorney. This course might be pronounced commendable, hut the death head was not used alone ror this purpose. When the poor little villain Maurer was safely lodged In his prison cell, and when evidence was accumu? lating daily to fas:en more and more firmly the guiltiness of this dark crime upon him, then it was that the fiendish genius of thc district attor? ney developed a new idea. The murderer should he confronted with the face of his victim; the pale features and sunken eyes should meet him at unexpected moments; the grim head should be popped at him from beneath common table blankets and out of prison buckets; it should bc rolled at him in his couch and presented to his horrified vision in thc dead of night; thus it was hoped a confession might be wrung from him in thc startled moments of his dread when this un? earthly object should bc thrust upon him. And this scheme was carried out. I have it through one of the gentlemen most prominent in the prosecution, that the prisoner before his trial wanted to wash his hands one day, and thc opportunity was taken to confront him then with all that was left of the murdered mau Fuerter. Maurer, when he repeated the second time his request, was sent Into an adjoining cell, where he was told he would find a bucket of water. He went and he was watched. As he stooped to dip his hand in the pail the hideous face was there-the grizzly features marked with the hor? ror of the death struggle. There was terror mark? ed on the face of the poor prisoner when he ran out of the cell from the ghostly bucket, but his laughing spectators saw or heard nothing that thry could construe into a proof his guilt. Again, when he sat in the hall off which his cell opens, a blanket suddenly lifted from the table by him re? vealed again the cadaverous head. How horrible ls this story in the recital ! When I heard it from the lip* -of one of the most reliable and estimable citizens of the county, I felt a terror that it is hard for me now to describe or ta? realize. What must have t>een the horror of the puny little pris? oner when he met in that gloomy cell the gaze of the deathly eyes is more than I care to imagine. I could hardly credit these facts, but when 1 learn? ed that the head ls still within the prison, and when I was shown thc can in which it ls still pre? served, I could no longer doubt that in Rockland County they have discovered a new method of procuring proof in cases of crime. The district attorney, under whose directions these little incidents were carried out, is a young man-very young and inexperienced-and was appointed to fill a vacancy by Governor Fenton. It is currently reported that his appointment was made upon the reception of a telegram by the Governor, and that lt was then supposed that the person named in thc dispatch was the appointee's father, who is a very respectable gentleman. Some of these strange rumors coming to the ear or the French Consul General In New York, he visit? ed the prisoner a few days ago in company with a large party or French gentlemen. It is rumored that he promised the prisoner to use his influ? ence in procuring a demand lor a new trial and fair play for his fellow-countryman, for it ls stated that there were other "Irregularities'' con? nected with tko trial and the evidence, which gave Just grounds for the demand. That there cannot be much doubt as to Maurcr's complicity in thc murder, I firmly believe; but it is also cer? tain that his conviction was accomplished by circumstances that are a blot upon our civiliza? tion. The French residents of New York are deeply Interested in the case, and Maurer receives daily packages or wine and rood from them. He is visited also frequently by parties of Frenchmen; who are anxious to assist him in obtaining fair play. Maurer has made two or three confessions, but since the visit or the French Consul he has de? clined to venture any information. The state? ments that he made arc conflicting in almost every particular, and there are those here who believe that the prisoner had become partially de? ranged by his confinement and his incessant thinking over of thc testimony brought forward against him. His conversation is certainly wan? dering, and sometimes Insane.

This evaporated mois? ture ls the active principle which begets fever and ague, bilious remittents, indigestion, dysentery, bilious cholle, rheumatism, and many other ail? ments which prevail more generally in the fall than at other seasons, and some of which, in low, swampy regions and new clearings, take the form of virulent epidemics. Thc best safeguard against these complaints, as evidenced by the experience or a long series or years, Ls tlOSTETTER'S STOM?

The Invigoration or the system ls manifestly the best means of defending lt against the canses of sickness, whether constitutional or casual. Na? ture, as every pathologist knows, is the most de? termined enemy of disease, and the paroxysms or an acute malady are In most instances the con? sequences of the efforts she makes to conquer the foe. The great object, therefore, or preventive treatment is to reinforce the system, and it ls ac? complished thoroughly, rapidly and safely by the use o HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. Tills powerful tonic contains also an aperient and corrective principle. It is no less valuable as a regulator and purifier than as an invigorant, and there ls no danger of exciting the brain or over-stimulating the circulation by employing it as an antidote. nov8 Dic? pa- WORDS OF CHEER-ON THE Errors of Youth and the Follies or Age, in rela? tion to Marriage and Social Evils, with a helping hand for the erring and unfortunate.
