AN SONEST APPEAL   TO ALL U ITH
BAD   OR FAILING HEALTH.
RE YOU LANGUID, INANIMATE, REST-
less, appetite poor, digestion bad. and PAINS
IN TIIE BODY, BACK AND HEAD? Reader,
ch ot tliis is caused from COLD, caught unwittingly, or, in seven cases out of ten, SLUGGISHNESS QF THE LIVER AMD BLOOD, and waut
ofNATURAL PERSPIRATION, indiscretion in
tbe use of FOOD AND DRINK, or from a dryness
n the atmosphere—which is a very unhealthy
part of this climate—many oftbe AWFUL, VIOLENT AND SUDDEN DEATHS that occur here
must be attributed to this. Now, reader, I have
made tliis tny study for many years, and I do as-
re you that my DR. WEBBER'S INVIGORATING CORDIAL will cure these causes—it will
insure animation of the LIVER, BLOOD AND
BRAINS—it strengthens the nerves, and gives
to the sufferer a lightness of spirits, a mental and
bodily feeling of strength that is delightful. The
many respectable persona who have been benefited by and certified to its extraordinary qualities
in curing any of the following diseases, must sat-
fy all lint the self-wise and ignorant skentic—
DYSPEPSIA, or LYDIGESTIOA'', LOSS OF
MUSCULAR OR BODILY STRENGTH
AND MENTAL ENERGY; FEVER,

WE A JCN'E S S O F THE A'A TUBAL FUNCTION'S, DEBILITY FROM DISEASE, DIS-
IPATION, too much doctoring, debauchery, and
other causes ; in case of excitement from constant
intemperance, and where delirium tremens has
occurred, I have seen it change the sufferer in
half an hour from the most horrible state to calmness and placidity. It can. indeed, be conscien-
ciously recommended to all suffering, and the proprietor regrets deeply that it is necessary thus to
advertise it, in order that ita merits may be known,

JACOB WEBBER'S LYVIGOR dTIN G
CORDIAL—it sends an electric thrill of life
through the worn-out body, weak limbs and broken-down constitutions; gives an appetite, removes
Dyspepsia, calms iniiabiiity, causes quiet sleep,
and is indeed tbe finest tonic, Nervine and San-
guitier ever made. It is purely a vegetable compound, and can bo used by the most delicate female. The reader is consciencior.siy assured It is
all it is represented.
Sarsaparilla   and  Bitter   Drinkers,

Dear Sir, and Good Friend.—I herewith inform you that I have taken, in seven months, over
sixty bottles of Sarspariila, Bitters, and other
emedies for confirmed Dyspepsia, Weakness of
the Chost, Iudigestion, aud a general feebleness
of my system, without gtAJny any particular relief. Two bottles of your Cordial bare benefited
much that I am a different being. Please
to send two bottles more, which I feel sure will
effect a perfect cure. II this will benefit yoa or
the afflicted, vou   are at liberty to publish it.

The Modern Belle.
The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks on her easy chair,
She is dressed in silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hair ;
She winks, and giggles, and simpers,
And simpers, and ('ingles, and winks;
And though she talks but little,
It's vastly more thau she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russets—
All dirty and seedy at that;
His coat is out at the elbows,
And he wears a shocking bad hat.
He is hoarding and Baving his dollars,
So carelully day by day,
While she, ou her whims and fancies,
Is squandering them away.
She lies in bed of a morning
Until the hour of noon,
Then comes down snapping and snarling,
Because she's called too soon!
Her hair is still in papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint—
Remains of last night's blushes,
Belore she attempted to faint.
Her feet so very little,
Her hands so very white,
Her jewels so very heavy,
And her head so very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics.
Though ihis she',1 never own ;
Her body is mostly colton,
And her heart is wholly stone.
She falls in love with a fellow
Who swells with a foreign air ;
lie marries her lor her money,
She marries him for his hair.
One of the very be^t matches ;
Both are well matched in life;
Site's got a fool for a h usband,
And he's got a. fool for a wife.

April, bnt nothing of importance had taken place,
although some highly interesting remarks were
made in reference to the new passport system of

Ihe losses were light, the rebels making but

Louisiana—The New Orleans True Delta gives
the following summary of intelligence :
We have nothing out of the usual routine to re.
port in city matters, unless it he the conviction of
four murderers in the First District Court, two oi
whom—Lindsay aud Haas—are to be hung, and
the other two—Logan and Wright—to be eeut to
the penitentiary for life.
The crevasse opposite the city, which was noticed in our Inst, has defied ail efforts to check its
progress, and the waters of the Mississippi are
still pouring through it aud in increased volume
and force, submerging the whole country irom
Gretna to the Bali ze.
We regret to add that the breaks in the levees
aud disasters by the flood are not confined to the
vicinity of New Orleans. The latest advices from
above represent the rivers as still rising, and several fearful breaks are reported, and an immense
extent oi couutry is overflowed, causing incalculable damage to the planting interest.
The Twiggs Co«rt-T*I»vtInl at Newport Bai-
The Court-Martial, ordered to convene at Newport (.Kentucky) Barracks, for the trial of Major
General David E. Twiggs, met on the 29th April.
On that day, the Court being full, the case was
opened, when the defendant objected to Colonel
Fauntleroy sifting as a member, on the ground oi
former differences between the parties. Colonel
Fauntleroy responded, that some years ago there
had been differences between himself and General
Twiggs, growing out of their official relation, but
that he had longsince discarded them. He would,
however, regret all his life if a decision adverse to
Geu. Twiggs should be made by the Court, of
whicli he was a member, and, therefore, he would
respectfully ask permission of the Court to withdraw. Subsequently, Colonel Fauntleroy recorded his reasous for withdrawing.
Permission was accorded to the Colonel, and
fhe charge against Gen. Twiggs was read, with
the specifications. The charge ia " insubordinate
conduct, to the prejudice of good order aud military discipline."
Witnesses for defence testified that Gen. Twiggs
meant no contempt for the President The case
was closed for defence on Friday, 30th, and goes
to the War Department for revision ofthe verdict.
Reported Conwct with Ixdians in Oregon.—
The hark Live Yankee, Capt. Wiggin. arrived in
three days from Columbia river, bringing a report
to the following effect: Capt. Wiggiu states that
the command of Col. Steptoe, on Snake river, had
been attacked by a large ludian force, who were
compelled to retreat after a desperate conflict, iu
which Col. Steptoe lost three officers nnd' fifty
men killed. We give the news as received, but
can scarcely credit the result as reported. The
readers ofthe Herald will recollect a letter, published May 17th, stating that the Cheteo. Sixes,
Rogue River, Port Oxford Indians, and the Indians on the Reservation, were about celebrating a
grand union of their forces to drive away the
whites in that region of country, and it is by nc
means unlikely that an outbreak of a seriouschar-
acter has really occurred. In fact, our correspondent wrote that the Cheteo Indians had already
commenced 'he work of murder and rapine, and
that the white inhabitants were concentrating al
Port Oxford for safety.—S. F. Herald.
The Poverty of .Statesmen.
Statesmen, who are worthy of the appellation
given them, generally iail to secure iortune*-*
They devote themselves to pursuits, which, if
honestly adhered to, rarely yields rich rewardi.
Jefferson died comparatively poor. Indeed, if
Congress had not purchased his library, and given
for it five times its value, he would-, with difficulty, havo kept the woli from his door.
Madison saved money and was comparaticely
rich. To add to his fortune, however, or rather
to that of his widow. Congress purchased his raan--
nscript papers, and paid thirty thousand dollara-
ior them.
James Monroe, the sixth President of the United States, died in this ciiy, so poor that his re"
mains fouud a resting place throagh tho charity
of a private citizeu. They remain in a cemetery
Second street, but no monument marks the
spot where they repose.
John Quincy Adams left some hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, the result of industry, prudence and inheritance,. He was a mau of method
and economy,
rtin Van Buren ia very rich. Throughout
his political life he has studiously looked out for
his own interest. It is not believed that he ever
pent thirty shillings in politics. Hia- party shook
the bush and he caught the bird. True to the in-
tiucts of Ms nature, he believes that charity ia a*
cheat.
Daniel Webster squandered some millions in hia-
life, the product of his profession and his political
speculations. He died, leaving bis property to*
his children, and his debls to his friends. The*
forrner sold for less than twenty thousand dollara,
and the latter exceeded two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
Henry Clay left a Very handsome estate. It
probably exceeded one hundred thousand dollars..
He was a prudeut manager, and a scrupulously
honest man.
James K. Polk left about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars—fifty thousand of which' he
saved from his Presidency of four years.
Johu Tyler is worth fifty thousand dollara. Be"
fore he reached the Presidency he was a bankrupt.-
In office, he husbanded his means and then- married a rich wife.-
Zachary Taylor left one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Millard Fillmore is a wealthy man, and keepa:
his money in a very strong and safe box. It will-
never be wasted in speculation1 or squandered invite.
Ex President Pierce saved' about fifty thousand'
dollars during his term of service.
Col. Thoa. H. Benton, we are sorry to Bay, died
poor. Col. Benton1 was anx-ious that Congresa-
should purchase 1,000 copies of hia abridgement
of the Congressional debates, for distribution'
among the various State libraries and foreign ex--
changes.
Mexico.—We have no later news from Mexico

informed by Messrs. Freeman & Co. that a battle
had taken place at Tixtla, some forty miles from
Acapulco. between the Government troops, or
those who support tlie Government of Zuloaga,

Almighty is so often called upon toeend to perdition the souls of those who offend1 each other?'
Everywhere that horrid imprecation, so familiar
that it is unnecessary to shock you by writing it,.
meets the pained ear. I say pained, because I (or
one, cannot abhor it less on account of its frequency, or consider it tess disgusting because it ill ter*
through aristocratic lips. Everywhere it pursues
me—in crowded'streets-, iu carriages, and, I am
sorry to say, in retirements which should afford a
refuge from the disgusting habit; from old men,
whose toothless lips mumble it almost inarticulate ^
from those who would resent to the death any
claim to the title of gentleman ; from young men,
glorious else in the strength- and vigor of youth,
and sadder still, from little children who have
caught the trick, and bandy curses at their sports.
An oath from a child's lips !- One would as soon
expect a thunderbolt from out the heart of a rose;
and yet there are those who deliberately teach little children to swear, and* think it sport when the
rosy lips, with childish grace, lisp the demoniac
lesson.
