AUGUSTA, January 19.-General Sweeny ?and command returned from Ogeeohce this morning. Every thing quiet. No moro trouble anticipated. A tubular boiler in a turning shop in Elizabeth, New Jersey, exploded yesterday, and was driven throngh the air 200 feet into a hardware store, falling npon tho heads of two men, who were almost instantly killed. "Three others were seriously and perhaps fatally injured, while several received severe contusions. -o Affairs In Washington. WASHINGTON, January 19.-The Virginia Committee, by resolution, have postponed the Richmond Convention from the 10th of February to the 17th of March-fearing Congress Would not act in season to allow the people to consider the proposition and select delegates as early as tho day hereto? fore designated. The committee remain in full session during tho present week. Yesterday's interview with Grant loads the Virginians to consider Grant as the most available friend of the movement in Wash? ington. The Mississippi Committee visited Grant to-day, urging him to use his aid for imme? diate admisssion. Grant replied that tho Reconstruction Committee had prepared a bill in accordance with their views, and ex? pressed the hope that theso measures would be settled before the commencement of his administration. WASHINGTON, January 19.-In the Senate, a memorial from a committee of colored citizens, of Georgia, was presented, stating that they are, in person, under tho present State laws, conflicting with tho Reconstruc? tion Aets. Abbott introduced another Pa? cifie railroad bill. McDonald introduced a bill to complete and perfect tho railroad between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. A few other bills of minor importance were introduced, after which tho Senato went into executive session and adjourned. In tho Honse, tho substitute for tho Sen? ate bill to instigate judicial proceedings, passed. It transfers to Federal Courts all suits against common carriers for loss of property caused by the Into war. House adjourned. Tho committee from tho colored national convention called on Grant who, replying to an address, said: "I thank the conven? tion, of which you are tho representatives, for the confidence they have expressed; and I hope sincerely that the colored people of tho nation may receive every protection which the laws givo to them. They shall have my efforts to secure such protection. They should prove by their acts their ad? vancement, prosperity and obedience to the laws, worthy of all privileges tho Govern? ment hft8 bestowed upon them; and, by their individual conduct, provo themselves deserving of all they now chum." Grant's interview with tho Mississippi radi? cal delegation is variously reported on. Ho appears to have expressed the desire for an early admission of Mississippi, aud that tho Southern Constitutions bo mado to conform to tho Reconstruction Acts. Ho also said he would enforce the laws, and it is not known whether Grant alluded to Ringhum's or to another which the committee is pre? paring. KINANCIAli ANO COMMERCIAL,.

Office of Udolpho Wolfe, SOLE IMPORT, OF THIS SCRIEDAU AROMATIC SCHNAITS 22 BRAVER RTBKKT, KF.W YOKK, NOV. :l, 'O.S. To Ike People of the Southern titate*. When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widdy known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was introduced int" the world, nuder the endorse? ment of 4.000 leading members of tho medical pro? fession, some twenty years ago, its proprietor was welt aware that it could not wholly escapo the penalty attached to new and useful preparations. Ho, thcroforo, endeavored to invest it with the strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit? ers, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submittou to distinguish ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them tho purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and properties having been thus ascertained, samples of the article were forwarJed to 10,000 physciane, including all the leading practitioners tn tho United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. 4,000 of the most eminent medical men in tlie Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho article we.ro unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had long been ?ranted by the profession, as no reliance could ho placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce; all of which were more or less adulterated, and, therefore, unfit for medical purposos. The peculiar excel Icuco and strength of the oil of juniper, which formed one of tho principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic clement, give it, in the estimation of tho faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of tho highest rank were published in a condensed form, and enclosed with euch bottle ol tho Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions against fraud wore also adopted; a patent waa obtained for the article, tho label was copyrighted, a/(IC rimUe of the proprietor's autograph signature wan attached to each label and cover, his name ami that of the preparation were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been sold in this country under tho name of Schnapps prior to tho introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1831; and the label was deposited, us his trade mark, in thc United States District Court for the Koutbi rn Dis? trict of New York during that year. lt might bo supposed, ny persons unacquainted with tho daring character of the pirates who pl? y upon thc reputation of honorable mord?ante, hy vending deleterious trash under their name, that tho protections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introductions and salo of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated tho rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen: tho endorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone -eceived from tho medical pro? fession has boone aimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels an bottles have been imitated, his ad? vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and, worse than ill, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of thc genuine contents of his bottles, have tilled them up with common gin, the most deleterious ol all liquors, and thus made his name and brand a cover for poison. Thc public, the medical profession and thc Bick, for whom tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnappt! is prescribed as a remedy, are equally interested wi! h the proprietor in tho detection and suppression of these nefarious practices. Tho genuine article, manufactured at the establishment of the under? signed, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of tho finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of thc berry of tho Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process un? known in the preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious arid corrosive cle? ment. Complaints have been received from the leading physicians and families in the Southern States, of the salo of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; ana travel? ers, who aro in thu habit of using it as an .. tidoto to tho baneful inlluenco of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. Tbojagonts of the undersigned have been requested to instituto inquiries on tho subject, and to for- i ward to him tun names of stiel, parties as they may ascertain lo bc engaged in tho atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, tho under? signed would say that ho has produced, from under tho hands of tho most distinguished men of scienco in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity t nd medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with gnarantoes and safeguards, which ho designed should protect thu public and himself against fraudulent imita? tions; that he has shown it to bo the only liquor in tho world that can bo uniformly depended upon as unadtilturatcd; that ho has challenged investi? gation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms: and from every ordeal the prepa? ration which bears his name, seal and trado mark, has como off triumphant. Ho, thcrofore, feels it a duty ho owes to his fellow-citi/.ens generally, to tho medical profession and tho sick, to denounce and exposo tho Charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and bc calls upon tho press and tho public to aid him in his efforts to remedy so groat an ovil. STho following letters and certificates, from the ?ding physicians and chemists of this city, w ill provo to tho reader that all goods sold by the undersigned aro all they are represented to bc. UDOLPHO W?LPE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as being, in every respect, prc-ei?ilicntly puro, and deserving of medical patronage. At all events, it is tho purest possiblo article of Holland Oin, heretofore unobtainable; and, as such, may be Bafoly prescribed by plnsioians. DAVID L. MOTT, M. D" Pharmaceutical Chemist, New York. 2G PINK STOEKT, NEW YOBS, Nov. 21,1?07. Uilolpho Wo fe, E?<i, Pr?tent. DEAR Sin: 1 havo made a chemical examination of a samplo of your Schiedam Sobnapps. with tho intent of determining if any foreign orinjnrious substanco had been added to tho simple distilled spirits. DEAB Sin: Tho want of paro Winos and Liquors, for medicinal purposes, has boen long felt by tho profession, and thousands of livos have boen sac? rificed by the nae of adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other diseases of tho brain and nerves, so rife in this country, aro very rare in Europe; owing, in a groat degree, to tho difference in the purity of the ?pirita sold. We bare teated the aoreral articles imported and sold by you, including your.Oin, which yon eell. nuder the namo of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we consider justly entitled to tho high reputation it has acquired in this country; and, from your long experience, as a foreign im? porter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors should meet with the Bamo demand. Wo would recommend yon to appoint somo of the respectable apothecarica in different parts of the city as agents for tbc ualo of your Brandies and Wines, where tho profeasion can obtain the same when needed for medicinal purposes. Wishing you success in your new enterprise, we remain your obedieut servants. VALENTINE MOTT, M. 1 >., Professor orSurgery, Univnraity Medical College. New York. J. M. CARNOOHAN, M.

The examination liaa rod ult eil in the conclusion t li at tho Ham ph* contained no poisonous or harm? ful admixture. I have boon unable to discover any trace of the deleterious substances which aro employed in tho adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to usc myself, or to recommend to others, for medicinal purposes, the Schiedam Schnapps aa an excellent and unobjectionable variety of gin. Very respectfully yours, (Signed.)
