Vicksburg, a year ago, as had been
falsely charged, that the time would
come when the soldiers that fought with
Lee and Johnston would occupy as proud
a position in tho hearts of the Amorioan

Grant and Sherman. "No such words
as these ever escaped my lips; no such
thought as that ever entered my heart."

wasted, heart-broken peoplo, was that he
trusted the day would come when the
soldierly qualities and military genius of
Lee and Stonewall Jackson would be re?
garded as a part of the heritage of the
American people; that they would be
spoken of as American soldiers, in a
cause which, though a bad cause, illus?
trated the military capacity, genius and
energy of the American people.

BOTTLES FULL or BEAUTY.-Ladies, if you I
would have beauty by the bottle-full, all you
have to do is to purchase HAOAN'S MAGNOLIA.
BALM. That peerless beautifier of the com?
plexi?n not only heightens natural charms,
but renders evsn the plainest countunan, e ex?
ceedingly attractive. It reoalls to the pallid
oheek the rosy tinge of health, removes pim?
ples, blotches, roughness, sallowness and
other, blemishes, and imparts to tba skin a
moat .delicate fairness and softness. It
smooths the furrows eaussd by time or caro,
and gives faoe, neok and arma the plump and
engaging appearance of youthful boauty. All
this is accomplished by the moot natural
means, viz: bygcnUj.and naturally stimula?
ting the circulation in the capillary blood vos-1
sale; besides being the most effeotual aid to
beauty known to.modern soienco.
PIMPLES, EBUPTIONS, ROUOH SKIN.-Tho sys?
tem hoing p?t. uudor tho influence of Dr.
Pierce's Golden atedioal Discovery for a few
weeks, the akin becomes smooth, olear, soft
and velvety, and being illuminated with tho
glow of perfect health from within, tm? beau?
ty stands forth in all its glory. Nothing ever
presented to the pnblio as a beautifier of the
complexion ever gave suoh satisfaction for
this purpose as this dieoovory. The offects of
all medicinen whioh operate npon the systom
through th? medium of tho blood aro neces?
sarily somewhat slow, no matter how good tbe
remedy employed. Wbilo one to three bo 11 lo a
clear tho skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions,
yellow spots, oomedonos or "grubs," a dozen
may possibly be required to euro somo oases
where tho systom is rotten with scrofulous or
virulent blood poisons. Tho eure of all these
diseases, howover, from the common pimple
to tho worst scrofula, is with the uso of this
most potent agent, only a matter of timo.

The report was, on motion, adopted.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
Alderman Carroll offered the fol Io wini
Resolved, That a condensed statemei
of the receipts and expenditures of tl
city be published monthly, with the pr
oeedings of Council.
Adopted.
The Mayor stated that the outsii
paupers supplied by the city was oo.stii
$500 or $600 per month, and he thoug
the report of the Overseer should 1
published, in order that the pub!
should see who the paupers were.
Alderman Carroll asserted that he w
informed, that since the city had coi
menoed the distribution of rations, pa
pers were coming into the city from r
joining Counties, to get rations. 1
thought the eondition of the city wot
soon be similar to that of the State
without money or credit.
Alderman Thompson declared that 1
Committee on Alms Houso did not
commend any paupers. It was the di
of the Overseer to scrutinize appli
tions, and he was surprised to find tl
the expenso of this department was
creasing.
Aid erm ai i| Wilder thought the Overs
was not responsible for this enormi
expense. He had endeavored to k<
down the expense, but so large is
number of applicants, that the Overs
oannot help it. As to immigration,
Alderman knew it to be true. The :
tioe had gone out into the country, t
paupers would be fed, and if they di
coffins wonld be furnished. This 1
been done, and the undertaker's t
which the oity had to pay, was a la
one. He believed the matter had g
so far it oonld not easily be remed?
and would cure itself.
Alderman Carpenter was surprised,
investigation, to find the oity supporl
an army of able-bodied paupers, ^
are able to work. The Alms House ]
vision acoount for one month is $l,i
and the Hospital $219.
Alderman Carroll stated that tl
were persons earning full wages in
oity as meohanios, whoso mothers
fathers and ohildren wore drawing
tions.
Alderman Wilder said that som
the paupers were furnished with or
on the grocers, and drew their ratioi
crashed sugar; and when asked \
they wanted with so muoh of that
ole, replied, "to make preserves."
Alderman Carpenter resumed:
whole system was wroog^it tendei
enoonrage idleness; work was alway
be had in the oity; labor was in dem
but here were idlers able to work,
are being supported by tho public.
Alderman Carroll asked of the (
mittee on Alms House if they had ?
orders for ooffins.
Alderman Thompson replied that
had, but had only done so whei
Overseer could not be found and
neoesBify for burial was immediato.
Beport of the Overseer of Poo
tho month of August, was prese
and is os follows: Expenses for
House, $60.05; expenses for Hos
$70.70; expenses for supplies for indi?
gent poor, $537.81. Total, $608.50.
In submitting this, my report for the
month of August, I regret to BIIOW an
nlarmiog increase, to the amount of
$125. This is entirely beyond my con?
trol, and is owing principally to the in?
crease of sickness, and partly to the in?
flux of paupers from the Adjoining Conn
ties, and even from the other States. I
can ouly submit these remarks for the
consideration of your honorable body,
without suggestions. Very respectfully,
J. E. DENT,
Overseer of the Poor.
The list of paupers furnished with
rations was then read, and disclosed
many cases snob as had boen alluded to
by the Aldermen. Many were drawing
rations, and had been for months, who
aro working daily and earning good
wages. Some wore keepers of bawdy
houses; many wero common women,
plying their vocation; many wore known
to the Mayor as drunkards, frequently
beforo his court.
Alderman Curpeuter offered the fol?
lowing resolution ou the subject:
Resolved, That no alms or assistance
shall be furnished to people claiming to
be poor, except under extraordinary cir?
cumstances, of which circumstances thc
Overseer of the Poor and the City Physi?
cian shall be judges, at any other place
thau the City Alms House, and no orders
shall be hereafter given for rations, ex?
cept upon the order of the Overseer ol
the Poor, based upon a certificate of the
City Physician. Aud tho Overseer ol
tho Poor is instructed to send to the
Alms House only such persons who arc
unable to provide for themselves.
Adopted.

THE AMERICAN TBOTTBB.--On the 1st
of August, 1839, Dutchman, rode by the
celebrated Hiram Woodrqff, trottod
three miles very easily in 7.82>?\ Nearly
one-third of a century has passed since
that time was made, and,', though s o ver al
attempts have been made to surpass it,
it remained until Saturday, the best
time on record for three miles under tho
saddle. Dutchman's time was boston at
Prospect Park by tho mare Huntress,
the three miles being completed in the
unparalleled time of 7.21>?-that is,
11>4 seconds faster than the best time
ever made.
A murder was perpetrated in New
York, on the 22d inst., in one of tho most
cold-blooded ways that could have indi?
cated a premeditated intent. At a christ?
ening of a child, two of the invited
guests recommenoed a quarrel of long
standing, and one of them stabbed the
other with a pair of sofewB, so fatally
that ho di sd instantly.
