Feb. 2nd, i860. 23-3m AYER'S AGUE CURE, FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical Head ache, and lllllous Fever, Indeed for the whale elaas of diseases oilgtnatlng In biliary derangement, caused by the Malaria of miasmatic countries. No one remedy is louder called for by the necessities ol the American people than a sure and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect certainty that it will eradicate the disease, and with as surance, founded cn proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any quantity. That which protects from or prevents this disorder must be of immense service in the communities where it prevails. Prevention is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis temper. This " Cure " expels the miasmatic poison of Fever and Ague from the system and prevents the develop ment of the disease, if taken on the first approach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered ior this class of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of everybody ; and in bilious districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, everybody should have it and use it freely both for cure and protection. " It ia hoped this pric will place it within the reach of all--the poor as well ass the rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Intermittent is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces no quinine or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left &s healthy as if they had never had the disease. Fever and Ague ia not alone the consequence of the mias matic poison. A great varity of disorders arise from its ir ritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, end Derangement ot the Stomaoh, all of which, when originating in this came, put on the intermittent type, or become periodical. This "Cuke" expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the mala rious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the infection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more valuable lor protection than cure, and few will ever tjufler from Intermittents, if they avail them slves of the protection this remedy affords. AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS, FOR ALL THE P URPOSES OF A FAMIL Y PHYSIC, are so composed that disease within the range of their ac tion can rarely withstand or evade them. Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these properties, the invalid who ia bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and invitir-. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my Amer ican Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and di rections for their use in the foUowing complaints : Costive ness. Heartburn. Headache arisinq from disordered Stom ach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of ine novels, jiaiuiency, JjOSS oj Appeiiie, jaundice, ana other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. They are an excel lent alterative lor the renovation of the blood ana the re storation of tone and strength to ti e system debilitated by disease. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bron chitis. Incipient Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and so numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of the coun try abounds in persons publicly known, who have been re stored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust uDon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be iorgotten.

One of the editors of the New York Express writes from Raleigh to his paper, amoDg other things, the ol lowing views of THINGS IX K0RTH CAROLINA I The good old North State is such a staid State that it is a delight to look at a land and a people that have not all run to seed like the poppy, and that has really some of the old stamina left. The isms have not reached here, nor the ologies, nor the ites. They hang a man f or murder, and they whip thieves and robbers, and put les ser rogues in stocks and pillories, as did our English fore fathers, or as did we before we invented Penitentiaries and Sing Sings to lock rogues up in. What is wonder ful to say, all men here, of all parties, while they boast of their lunatic asylums, their deaf and dumb institu tions, &c, boast not less that they have not a Peniten tiary in the State 1 The rogues and rascals, they tell us, quit them, that is, quit the State, after public ex posure iu the pillory and Btocks. Even New York pick-pockets shun the practice of their profession in the old North State, because no " gentlemen " like them would wish to have broadcloth thus soiled, in the face of everybody. These rciics of antiquity these stocks this pillory the thirty-nine lashes laid on a thief s back, they reason, one and all, are better inventions, not on ly for the correction, but for the prevention of crime, than all the penitentiaries and prisons in all the other States. Are they right or are we wrong? Have we "pro gressed " backwards, or do they need going ahead ? A PRIMITIVE STATE. After a fow days tarry in Raleigh, I have come to the conclusion that this is now the only really fresh, new, virgin State in the Union. I mean not, that its soil is new or virgin, or that it is fresh like California, or Min nesota, but I mean that it is norol, new, fresh, virgin, in its very antiquity. " Progress " has not got here ; that is, that Progress which turns things upside down and inside out, and that ploughs so deep as to turn all the loam under and all the sand over that loam. The politicians arc not thieves or robbers as yet. They do not enter into politics just now to make money; but, strange to say, and this shows their virginity, for pleas ure or for " glory." The locomotive is here, sputtering all about, and putting his nose into even the venerable and far-renowned mountain region of Buncombe, but the locomotive is not yet a politician. The State is uot Gridironed'NeYf York city fashion. If twenty N01 vh Carolina Senators, slaveholding rascals as they are, were to do what 20 New York slaveholder-hating Senators did in a night and day session, all of them would go into the stocks or tne pillory, and receive 39 lashes in addi tion no such " behind the age " are these Patris Con- scripti of Buncombe 1 Every thing thus runs in this old-Jashionod, primitive way. The people Bpeak the English, all of them, that we in New England spoke in our earlier days, as defined in old Perry's now abol ished dictionary, or as set forth in Webster's ABC spelling book, where " the old man found the rude boy," &c. Stealing means stealim here yet I And lieing1, lieing .' A robber is a robber, whether dressed in broad cloth or rags ! When a lady is " out," she is " out," not at the head of the stairs listening to hear who rancr the bell, or who knocked at the door 1 Blessed people !

Again, wc see that in spile of the pacific declarations of the Kinperors, both of .France and Austria, the distrust is so great as to keep the discount at thirty-three per cent., though on the 10th instant the first instalment of the Lombard indemnity money falls due . at Paris with 800,000, to do followed by further ten bi-monthly in stalments of 320,000 more. This ought to be an in ducement for Austria to keep the peace for nearly two years. Still we see everywhere such preparations as authorize us to bdieve that the Emperor of Austria be lieves in war, and wishes it. As regards taxation, salt uud tobacco are government monopoiics t there is a heavy excise on wine, though the land ia alreuJ.y taxed on which it grows ; on spirits, on beer, and on butchers' meat. Cofl'oe and tea and sugar pay heavy import du ties, and the land tax ia insupportable. From an es tate which I know but too well, which is leased at 3, 000 a year, the lessee has to pay to the government 1,200 as land tax that is to say, 314 per cent, of the not revenue, not including the indirect taxation, the communal and municipal taxes, the illegal exactions of the government omcials, the blackmail which we are obliged to pay to the gendarmes, that they should not intrude on our privacy and not denounce us as political ly dangerous persons, and the periodical extortions un der the name of voluntary loans, patriotic subscriptions for raising volunteers, ior the wounded soldiers ol bol- ferino and Magenta, or, as was the case in 185G, contributions for loyal demonstrations in honor of his Majesty a visit to Hungary, which, respectiully declined by the gentry, have actually been levied in the county of Abauj under the name of a tax of rejoicing (freuden steuer.) The result of such a financial administration - ' . . .... . . . AT is the general ruin ot the middle classes ; it is suincient for explaining the universal hatred of the Austrian rule, and the unanimity of all classes of the nation in oppo sing it. But instead of compensating this financial op pression by political liberty, tho Austrian cabinet de stroys every vestige ol it, and even under their present critical circumstances they adhere to their repressiv t system. Report ox an Anti-Fugitive Slave Law Petition Standing Committee on Federal Relations, to whom was referred the petition of J. W. Canfield, and fifty five others, praying the General Assembly of Ohio " to enact that no person who baa been held aa a slave shall be delivered up by any officer or court, State or Federal, within this Commonwealth, to any one claiming him cn the ground that he owea service or labor to such claim ant, by the laws of one of the slave Statea ot tbia Union, submitted the following report : 1. The Federal Constitution provides that fugitives from service shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such services or labor is due. 2. This memorial prays that such persona shall not be delivered up on claim of such party. 3. The members of this General Assemby have all taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States. 4. Article six of that Constitution provides that it shall be the supreme law of the land, and thai, the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary not withstanding. Therefore, the prayer of this petition is, in effect, that we shall, in violation of our official oaths as we believe pass a law that would be, ablinitio, null and void, because the judges of our State courts would be bound to decide it contrary to the Constitu tion of the United States. ; A Professor Elected. We learn that Dr. Edward Warren, of Edenton JS". C, editor of the North Carolina Medical Journal, has been elected to fill the vacancy in the Faculty of the University of Maryland, occasioned by the death of Dr. Frick. Mr. Warren ia said to be a young man of fine talents and high staading in his pro fession, and will no doubt reflect credit upon the chair he ia called upon to fill. Petersburg Express.
