Silent Politicians' The contributorial editor of the Yorkvillo Enquirer, in his quaint style, thus notices the silent politi? cians at th'e present juncture. The notice is well .worth reading: Some of ' o.uar contemporaries ex? press surprise at tho fact that many of our hitherto voluminous advisers - and country-savers are now silent now,' when, ,if ever, we need the advice and wisdom of experience to guide us. It does not surprise us. The case is a very clear one. If you have overseen a coon np a tree while the hunter was chopping at the tree, and watched his course, you can readily understand the point of our illustration. . The coon gets high np in th? tree, among tho topmost boughs, and se? lects A fork. He keeps in this fork, keenly eyeing both the dogs and the axeman, especially the latter. After the"tree begins to totter and fairly to Btatt over' to one side-and there it no longer a ' doubt which way thc tree.yiU fall-he jumps. Our silent politicians are like the coon. Whenever it becomes perfectly ap? parent which way political affairs a? going tb turn, then these Solon's wil speak ont-will speak out vociferous; I ly, as sopn as it is safe for them to dc so. 1 ' ' Mark these men-these silent So lons.. They .are cowards, aud w< want brave men in times like these. Gov. Perry is a brave man/ Hi may bo wrongs-we''believe some o Ivis conclusions ate-but wo a thou sand times prefer such men to th os cowardly coon-politicians who ari waiting until we are ruined, in orde that they may see what advice win b most profitable to them to give us. Away with such patriotism. To the dogs with such politics. If inaction is the true policy, le them say so. If they believe in radicalism, le them announce it now. If Gov. Perry is right, let thei say so. , Here " half a dozen men ka\ spoken, after months of agony an tyranny? Are these half a dozen o onr political leaders? Indeed, seven years ago, {after ? cession was an inevitable fact,)'we bc eloquent speakers, and advisers, au country-savers, so many that, with dozen each night, it took a month I hear thetr speeches and all their w vies. Where ore all these men? A few of them sleep on the batt! fields; bnt the great body of tho eloquent men never got sleepy that way. Eternal silence, it is true, won become them well; but knowing tb they are ready (as soon as the ti begins to fall? tb jump to the fro ana tell na ali about it, we deem proper to call their attention to t subject now. Col. Wm. C. Preston (peace to 1 honored memory) once described o tain of our politicians os resembli the sea gull-that the sea gnll, b feted, driven and dashed onward the violence of the storm at s seeks a foothold at last npon so jutting crag, and looking bftck up the tempest-the troubled waters neath and the. thundering clot above-and fancies, poor thing, t it is leading that stormi Did any of om* readers ever one of those political gulls?

THE CROPS.-Cbeering reports reach us from every section of the Districot as to the prospect of a good cotton crop. The corn crop has suf? fered to some extent by thc drought, but the rains of tho past week which have been abundant for present need, will no doubt increase thc yield be? yond the anticipations of a few days ] ago.

VERDICT Ol THE FACULTY STIMULANTS INDISPENSABLE AS ME? DICINES.-The ?tost distinguished physi? cians in the United States have recently been placed on the witness stand, and have, with ono voice, declared that pure stimu? lants are valuable medicinal agents. This decision of the faculty refers especially to medicated stimulants, of which tho purest and beat known is HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS. Its basis is the alco? holic principle of the finest rye grown in tho United States, and its herbal ingre? dients comprise tba extracts of a largo number of plauts, barks and roots, pro? duced in vanouB parts of tho world, and all noted in the countries to which they are indigenous for their powerful uauatiyepro perties. As an invigo&aul -and .-ternie, tho value of the Bitters eau scarcely be over? rated. Hence ita extraordin?r}- effect in fever and ague and intermittents and re? mittents of every type. Its auti-bilious properties aro marvelous. Persons of bi? lious habit, by taking P small quantity onco or twice a day,may completely change their constitutional tendency to liver dis? ease, and escapo all the unpleasant conse? quences which arise either from tho undue sensitiveness or the unnatural torpidity ol the biliary organ. Chrome constipation is eradicated thoroughly, and in a very short space ot time, by small doses of this whole? some regulator, taken ni;,ht and morning; and for ali the disorders which are super? induced by exhalations irom decomposing vegetable and animal matter in.tho streets of cities, or the miasma of swampy dis? tricts, it is, when taken as a protective and preventive medicine, the most reliable ol all safe-guards.
