Tho effects of tho British expedition and the death of King Theodore had been to put the whole country in a state of anarchy. The chiefs, relieved from the rule of Theodore, many of them taken ont of prison by the British, had raised armies against Gobazee, the ruler preferred by Sir Charles Nap? pier. A singularly interesting fact is stated. Among those rising against Gobazee, was one Ali, ono of the released chiefs. Gobazee's Genoral in-Chief, (Mashesbas,) was sent against him with a strong force, in? cluding a number of bravo warriors of the Wuldagallas tribe. As soon (in tho engagement) as they carno in front of Ali, they reversed their spears, rushed to him with joy, and afterwards fell upon Mnshesha's army and assisted to defeat it. This display of affection for their old commander, Ali, is compnred to the rushing of Ney's army to embrace Napoleon. Queen Mustavellu, with a large army, had possession of Magdala and the ruins evacuated by the British. The native priests declare that Menolek, of Shosta, is the legitimato King to succeed Theodorus, on the Debra Tabor, or " Mount of Trans? figuration." And y ot, to crown tho troubles of the country, it was said the Egyp? tians are about to enter in force, with a view to its conquest. This is certainly no flattering re? sult of British iuvusion. Theodorus, with all his cruelty, maintained better order in Abyssinia than auy other chief probably could have main? tained. LET US HEAR FROM MR. VAM?AX nialiAM.- It is understood that the lion. C. L. Vallaudighain, of Ohio, the builder of th?.? Democratic Chica? go peace platform of 1364, represents a powerful section of the Western Democracy, and that he threatens a bolt, if a pair of war epaulets are put upon tho Democratic Presidential ticket. Now wo would respectfully submit to Mr. Vallandigham that tho peaco party of the war has nothing more to do on that question; that its occupation in opposition to tho war is gone, aud that the only way to beat the radicals, is to fight them with their own weapons of the war, in eluding tho Presidential ticket of Chase and Dix. In tho next place we think that if Mr. Vallandigham would lead off in a patriotic pronuu ciamcnto in favor of tho union of tho Democracy and all tho opposition olomcnts on this ticket, ho would do much towards tho harmonious fusion of his party of the West with the party in tho East, nud thus mako himself in truth and to some pur poso, a great man in Israel. [New York Herald. ? . A genius, in Detroit, is said to be preparing to "shoot Niagara" in an India rubber boat, which he is on gaged in constructing. It is to bo un air-tight, and provided with a seat to which he is to be tied. Ho may not have gumption enough to make his will in advance, but the thing ought to bo done. DEATH OF MR. BUCHANAN-PROCLA? MATION OF THE PRESIDENT.-Tho President, with deep regret, an? nounces to the people of the United States tho decease, at Wheatland, Pennsylvania, on the 1st instant, of his honored predecessor, Jamees Bu? chanan. The event will occasion mourning in tho nation for the loss of au emi? nent citizen and honored public ser? vant. As ii mark of respect for bis me? mory, it is ordered, that the execu? tive departments be immediately placed in mourning, and all business be suspended on tho day of the funeral. It is further ordered, tbnt the War and Navy Departments cause suitable military and naval honors to be paid on this occasion to the memory of tho illustrious dead. ANDREW JOHNSON. MR. STANTON BOWED OUT.-Mr. Stanton retires with the thanks of Congress for his services as Secretary of War, in fighting tho rebellion during the war and in fighting Audy Johnson since the war, and all bauds aro satisfied, or ought to be-John? son in getting rid of Stanton, tho two Houses in being relieved from tho trouble of standing guard over him, and Stanton with his pretty compliment from Congress. Let him, "like honest Sancho, bid God bless Mic giver, nor look the gift horse in the mouth." Evil Stanton. [New York Herald. Our friend, John Mitchell, does not think much of Georgo Francis Train. He thus incises the humbug: "And, what is Biugular, it appears that thcro aro still some simple peo? ple who listen to the nonsense of this Train about the 'impending war,' and civis Americanus stan, and who' be? lieve that tho man represents some? body or something in the Uuited States." ... Lowell hus a poem in tho current number of tho Atlantic, in which Juno is thus described: "Long she lies in wait, Makes many a feint, peeps forth, draws coyly back, Then, from some Southern ambush m the sky, With ono great gush of blossoms storms tho world."

NOW IS THE TIME TO CLEAN8E OUT thoso PERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples, corrupt sores, which POLLUTE tho LIFE of tho BLOOD, aud render your body a lon th eeo me. tiling. They aro* tho precur? sors of a diseased blood, and will assume a much moro formidable shapo if allowed to go on unchecked. Tho QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT, ttie only real blood purifier that has ever been invented, as thousands will to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as a positivo remedy for all diseases flowing from a vitiated condition of tho system. TUE LIFE OF THE FLESH ls PURE BLOOD. Upon this theory alono tho in? ventor of the Queen's Doliglit establishes tho great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS? EASE. Tho Pale and Shrunken Forms, Yellow Facos. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livers, Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of Headache, so common in this country, is owing entirely to tho humors of tho blood. Very many other diseases may bo traced to bud blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi? pelas, Exauthoma or Elevurc, a rash or eruption on females; Blotches, Tetter, Goitro or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Sores, Struuious Ulcers, AC. These cannot be cured without purifying tho blood. Now as to tho romedy. There is no other blood purifier that will accom? plish such positive and extraordinary cures as Hcinitsh's Queen's Delight. You may take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not be cured; and, as a proof of it, look around and yon will observo tho country, throughout* its length and breadth, is Hooded with compound Sarsa? parillas, extracts and syrups, claiming to bo blood purifiors, and yet wo see to-day more evidence of impurity of tho blood than over. Why is this? Simply because these extracts and Sarsaparillas arc worth? less medicine*!. Tho Queen's Delight is a new componnd, and is now tho groat blood medicine; sanc? tioned by tho profession, patronized hy thc highest dignitaries of tho lund, endorsed by everybody. In tho brief period of twelve months over 3,000 cases have been treated so suc? cessfully as to entitle it to be thc wondci of tho ago. For debility, prostration, nervousness mental d?pression, impaired digestion loss of uppctite, restlosness, wa et of vita force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat iug and strengthening thau all tho com pounds of bark or bitters. As a live-: invigorates, it i ' of inestimable value. Ai a stimulant, it is safer and surer than al tho rum and whiskey tonics of tho day and if you value your lifo and health i oil.'.-! foo, avoid theso quickening Stillin hints to the grave and UPC the Queen'i Delight. Auk for llcinilsh's Queen's Do light. This is not tho Extract of Stellin gui or Queen's Delight, nor is it a Com pound S.> rup of Queen's Delight, or Sarsa parilla and Queen's Deligh', but simpl; Hcinitsh's Queen's Delight is tho trad mark.
