Tho following members obtaiued leuvc absence: DoMars, Moore aud L. Cain. Mr. Catlin, the prairie traveler, corni ideates to Trubner's American and Or ie Literary Record the curious ?tnrenient tin great river, "larger than thc Missisaipi flows under the Rooky Mountains! Catlin is about to publish the evido which helms collected in favor of this st ling hypothesis. I Freien! mil Future Procperou? Condition of tin- South. It is remarked as a siugular fact, that there has been yet no reflux from tho South ; of currency to the North; for au unusual amount of money has beeu sent South, nntl ! its merchante, it is stated, have purchased freely of merchandize, paying largely in j cash, yet these payments have been inrgely exceeded by ; ho receipts in the South on ; account of cotton. It is couclndcd that a lurge amount of currency has been hoarded by the planters, to be held ont of circulation until their wauts compel them to purchase merchan? dize; and as the total realized on tho cotton crop is unusually large, the amount thus kept stagnant, our Now York authority thinks, must bo proportionally large. The recuperation of the South is simply a question of timo. Her products aro ne? cessary to tho wealth of tho country, and so long as sho ?3 allowed to devote her ener? gies to her great prominent agricultural in ! forest, she cannot be kept down in material ! progress. Tho ordeal through which she has passed, has taught the farming and planting inte? rest to husband ita resources; to curtail its expeuses; to practice economy; -where, in former years, it was prodigal; to live within its menus, and to take caro of thc fruits ol its labor. Tho annual surplus, instead of being in vested iu large part iu the acquisition ol slave labor and in luxuries procured frorr thc North, can now bo to the same extenl devoted by the farmers and planters to tin improvement and enriching of their lands, and tho beautifying of their homesteads and in building railroads and factories, ant devoted to other investments which wil promote their comfort, onrich their section and ultimately result in regaining tho posi tion of impoitauco formerly occupied by it and which gave it the influence whicl weighed so much iu advancing tho progr?s aud prosperity of the country. Population and wealth will follow in th duo course of time, and with thoir ncces sion, the respect and influence which ar inevitable. We have only to devote our energies t< the work of industrial development in 01 der to regain not only what bas been lost but to advance far beyond what we had foi merly conceived. With the natural bounties which hav been bestowed upon us, our soil, our cl: mate, our minerals, our harbors, we sha attain a prominence and prosperity fur b< youd thoso hitherto possessed. Tho dost ny of the South is onward and upward. [Petersburg Ecpi-eas. The It< pub', ii .in Government in Cuba. We leam that a commission from the rt publican government in Cuba, has arrive in this city, and will shortly proceed 1 Washington with a memorial to Congross i behalf of the liberal cause in the Gem ( the Autillc9. The memorial sets forth tin tho people of Cuba have now been for si months engaged in uninterrupted war wit Spain; that in this timo they have liberate one-half of the inhabitants of tho islarj aud more thau one-half of the territoi from the yoke of Spaiu; that they havo pr claimed tho great principles of freedom all men aud races; that they havo esta lished a respousiblo and effective gover meut; that they have organized aud st maintain armies in tho field; that tho seul ment of thc Cuban people is nnanimo in the support of freedom aud the causo self-goverument, while these are opposi only by the Euroneau Spanish-born pop latiou, who are but trausient strangers tho land, seldom seeking to acquire rt estate or radicated interests there, and wi govern with representation, administer wit out native participation and openly' proclai their in tent iou to rulo or ruin the country lu view of these truths, and in behalf freedom and the cause of humanity, tho I publican government of Cuba prays t Congress of tho United States to recogui their belligerent rights; that its peop while contending for justice to tkouiseh aud in behalf of tho cause of freedom, m have extended over them the shield to whi tho law of nations and of humanity enti them. The plea is a strong ono, the fa aro incontrovertible, and Congress shot I at once grant the pravor. [New York Herald -o j The only respect in which tho Preside! .self-confident address is of any importan is in the evidence it furnishes that Gene Grant does not intend to havo any seri? differences with thu Republican party. W all its solf-assertion, the iunugural is reu very servile. It endorses all tho favoi measures and dogmas of tho Republican jj ty, except tho touuro of office Act; and that tho party is knowu to be about equi divided. All his iudependencc is exhaus in tho mere empty proclamation of it; has not had the real independence to dil from his party in any particular. As from its tone of ill-beseeming self-co dence, General Grant's inaugural is a m echo of the tritest commonplaces of the '. : publican newspapers.

March 13 1 TUB SS BOS OF SICKXESS.-Baron Mun? chausen tolls a story of a post-boy's horn, which had a number of wicked tunes blown into it ono frosty night, but made no response. Neverthe? less, when it waa bung before nhot lire, the tunea, which had been frozen in, thawed out, to the amazement of all present. Just so the human system, subjected to injurious influences during the winter, sometimes givo no token of the effect j they have produced upon it, until tho moist at? mosphere of spring dcvolopos tnoir fruits. Many spring diseases aro tho result of winter impru? dences, and great and especial care should bc taken of tho systom in thc cold season, so that it maybe in a sound and vigorous condition when the malarious fogs of Maroh and April make their appearance. To this end, strengthen tho stomach and thc general organization at this soaaon with HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. Tako this pleasant vegotablo antidote in advance of tho uprising of the mopliitic mists and vapors, which produco chills and fever, and other miasmatic diseases. Remember that it is a preventive medicine-aa powerful to protect as to restore. The stomach is apt to bo overtaxed at this time of the year. It is a period devoted to dinner and supper parties, ! and luxurious living generally. Feasting and late hours weaken tho digestive organs and disorder the liver. Tho effect of the Bitters is to invigorate tho one and regulato tho other. Thoro is no month in tho twelve when a tonic and alterativo is more generally needed than iu this, and there is no preparation of that nature so thoroughly salu? brious, so bracing, and so entirely free from undue exciting properties, aa this celebrated vegetable cordial.
