VESUVIUS.-The eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which was described some few days since as becoming still moro intensely grand, is just now-De? cember 9-quite alarming. The whole of the volcauo is in violent ac? tion, and flame issues not only from thc old crater and many new open? ings to the air, but it continues to blaze after its ejection. A slight subsidence of the volcanic motion had taken place, and on Mon? day, the 9th of December, the moun? tain remained almost quiescent, its sides being covered to a great extent with snow. A heavy colored smoko issued from what the savaiis term the "smoke holes," old and new. Tues? day night, December 10, the eruption was resumed with great force, and a mass of lava, resembling a solid rock, was Bhot from the crater to a great height, and, as seen from this oity, rolled down the sides of the great cone after falling. A loud roar, as if of artillery, was heard during tbe entire night. Tho mountain was veiled in darkness long after the hour .of daybreak next morning. As tho forenoon advanced, a strong wind sprung up from the North and dis Eelled the gloom, and Vesuvius bas een witnessed in its fiery daily gran? deur since. To-day a perfect river of fire is seen to flow from the mountain, run? ning in a Westerly direction. The fiery flood is nearing the town of C?rcala, The upheavings of the vol? cano are attended with shocks re? sembling those of an earthquake, and loud detonations, as if a battery of heavy guns in ftill play, are heard. A perfect panic prevails among the inhabitants of all the villages situated in the neighborhood of the foot of the mountain. The Mobile Register devotes tho "virgin use" of its now type to re? printing the Constitution of tho United States, and to a very glowing and just eulogy of that great char? ter of American liberty. AU our troubles, it says, have been owing to our departure from its requirements. m ? ?s co E 2L*?8 Slllllgll Ii3?g! ji I I?Bl1!*'ft <t o as Z ff| .S2gg ta al hH oJa 'S.

IN THOUSANDS OF HOUSEHOLDS!-If j it should bo suddenly announced through? out tho United States, Canadaa, the West Indies and Spanish America, that no more HOSTETTEU'S BITTERS would bo manu? factured, and that henceforth the grand specific for dyspepsia, and preventive of I all malarious diseases, would bo lcBt to tho world! Tho bilious, the feeble, thc despon? dent: tho traveler, the voyager, thc miner, tho sedentary student ; the settler on thc frontier of civilization; tho toiler, cooped up in crowded city tenements; thc conva? lescent, needing an in vigor ant; the shiver? ing victim of ague, and the nervous of | both sexes everywhere, would learn, with grief, too deep for words, that thc most celebrated corrective, invigoraut and alte? rative of the ago, had been blotted out ol existence. As a preparatory antidote to epidemic disease, a genial stimulant, a promoter of constitutional vigor, an appe? tizer, a stomachic, and a remedy for ner? vous debility, no medicinal preparation has ever attained the reputation i>f Hos? teler's Bittere. It is thc household tonic of the American people-baa been so for twenty years, and in all human probability will bo so for centuries to come. The mag? nates of science recognize its merits; and that it is emphatically tho medicine of the masses is proved by its vast and ever in creasing sales. Jan 1 Gt Mr?.

Roberts ft Co., Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen: I am well pleased with the result of tho uso of the ''Doublo Refined Poudrette" on my crops. I tried it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied wherever it was applied tho yield waa more than double what it would have been without it. I regret exceedingly my not using it more extensively tho present year, but will try to makoup my loss by purchasing a larger quantity next spring. I regard it as the oheapest, most reliable, and easiest man? aged fertilizer within my knowledge, and cheerfully recommondit [as I have triod it thoroughly) to the farmers of this section, and particularly to thoso planting cotton, from tho fact of its causing 'it to mature from ten days to two weeks earlier than it would without the use of tho Poudrette. I abo used it on niv garden, and found it of much bene fit to ail kinds of plants. Very respectfully, Ac. G. S. OGLESBY. Extract from a letter received from Trof. Martin, of Hampden. Sidney Cullege, Va., dated July 1, 1807: Tho Double Refined Poudrette is operat? ing like a charm on my crop, and attract? ing universal attention from all beholdurs. I I am already satisfied that it is the cheap? est and surest renovator of our worn-out land.-?. - High Shan'.?, Ga., October i, lb07. Janies lt. Dev, Esq. Sir: The Double Refined Poudrette I bought for two other parties in connection with myself-ono of them used it on cotton and corn, and thinks it answered finely; tho other put it on cotton, on very poor ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. I used it on corn. It answered finely, and was thought by tho hand that cultivated tho crop to be fully equal to Rhode's Super Phosphate. I also used it on about an acre of cotton, and I am clearly of opinion that it is the best and cheapest fertilizer in use, and I expect to order several tons this winter. Yours, verv respectfully, i?AAC POWELL. Ellatille, Schley Co., Ga., Oct. 4, 18C7. Tho Doublo Refined Poudrette, pur? chased of you last spring, I think, in? creased my "crop of cotton 150 pounds per ae.ru; put ii upon worn-out pine land, at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, drilled in with cotton seed. Yours. Ac, 8. MONTGOMERY. Salisbury, JV. C., August 10, 18C7. James R. Dey, Es<i. Hear Sir: i can safely say that your Double Refined Poudrette is fur superior to any othor fertilizer for cotton; for 1 have given it a fair trial this season. Yours, JEHU FOSTER, Jn. Savannab, Ga., September 25, 1SG7. James R. Doy, Esq., President. Hear Sir: " I used tho Doublo Refined Poudrette, bought of you last spring, on corn. I think it increased tho yield one half. I consider it an excellent manure. Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE. Ridgeway, S. C., Septetnber 21,18C7. Mr. James R. Dey. Sir: 1 applied thc Doublo Refined Pou? drette by itself, and in combination with other fertilizers, on cotton, and am pleased with it; so much so that it is my present intention to purchase a larger supply of you tho next year to apply to my cotton crop. Yours verv respectfully, HENRY C. DAVIS. Rocky Mount, Edgecomb Co., JV. C. -Voe 13. James R. Dey, Esq. Sir: In reply to your inquiry of the re? sults of our experience in tho use of your improved Poudrette-purchased of you for this year's cotton crop-we would beg leave to say that tho present season has been ono quite unfavorable to tho action of all fertilisers. Several kinds of manures were used by us, with tho exception of your Poudrette, with little or no effect to tho crop. Where the Poudrette was used, it gave us near half a balo more por acre, and caused thc cotton to open much earlier; and wo would, therefore, recommend thc eamo SB a concentrated manure for thc growth of cotton, as well as improvement to tho soil.
