Messrs. Editors .-—Please allow space in your
columns lor a word or two in regard to the ,
office of High Sheriffalty, being assured that i
the request made upon your correspondents for i
brevity shall be complied with. The author of 1
this is not connected in any way with, knows
hut slightly, and has no particular partiality for
the present Sheriff or any of his deputies ; but is
utterly opposed to the overbearing, exacting, if
not disgusting manner in which the candidates
are interrogated, and by which insinuations are
cast upon the (at lea9t) official characters of the
present incumbents. Card after card has ap
peared in the county papers, asking the candi
dates to disclaim all agreements, combinations,
contracts, &c. &C, with, or concerning these
men —each succeeding one being still more ex
.■: 'ing—until one was published in your last
issue actually demanding them not only to deny
the sligheßt confoc. with them, but even to de
nounce them emphatically, by publishing to the
world that, under no circumstances, will they
employ, or have anj thing to do with them in
any shape or form. This is, to say the least, a
silly, childish and unreasonable request to make
upon any sensible men, and insulting to the
present incumbents. Efforts on the part of the
candidates to satisfy the arbitrary minds of these
inquisitive people may determine the course of
others along _£iddie Kiver, and perhaps North
Mountain, aud their too explicit answers, or
oven attention to such interrogatories, msy be
the cause of their failing to secure on the _th
Thursday of May next, the support of
Manx Yotebs.
Requisition fob Merriam and Browx.—A
message was received on Wednesday from Gov
ernor Letcher in the Virginia Senate, embracing
the reply ot Governor Denuison of Ohio, in re
lation to the requisition made by the Executive
ot Virginia upou him for the persons of Francis
Merriam aud Owen Brown, parties to the Harp
er's Ferry raid. The Governor of Ohio refuses
to give up the fugitives lor reasons, which, in
the opinion of Gov. Letcher, are entirely frivo
lous. Gov. Dennison bases his refusal upon the
opinion ot tiie Attorney General ot Ohio, that
there is no enactment of the State clothing tire
Governor with authority to surrender to anoth
er State fugitives from justice seeking refuge
there (in Ohio ;) any power to surrender fugi
tivos must therefore be predicated opou 'he Con
stitution of tbe Uuited States—and that ins*n_-
ment provides that it must be pi
fugitive actually fled from auoiu.i ;_.. .„ to ~s
cape ju-tice. The Attorney contends that there
was no evidence that Merriam ever was in Vir
ginia, and no allegation but in the requisition
tnat he ever fled from the State of Virginia.—
Upon this quibble the Governor of Ohio seeks to
avoid a duty imposed upon him. The commu
nication of Governor Letcher is very lengthy,
and ably meets the issue raised by the Attorney
General.
For the Spectator.
Messrs. Editors: —ln reply to the interrogato
ry in your paper of last week —whether if elec
ted to the Sheriffalty, I will appoint the present
Sheriff or auy ot his deputies as my assistants —
I have to say that while I entertain _ sincere
respect for 1 11 of those gentlemen, including the
jailor—l have no such purpose.
The present Sheriff I regard as ineligible, in
the spirit, at least, of the Constitution ; and as to
his deputies, I am clear and decided iv my con
viction that the disqualification ought to be rig
idly enforced upon any and all who have been
directly interested in the profits of the office.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
CHILLS AND FEVER .-One of the greatest
remedies that has ever been laid before the public for
that fearful malady, Fever and Ague, and which have
received the highest encomiums from the press and the
people, is Dr J. Hostetter's Celebrated Bit
ters. Who would endure the tortures arising from (
this terrible disease, when it can be so easily cured i ,
Who would endure sleepless nights, burning fevers ,
and icy chills, alternately, when a remedy canjbe ob- ,
tamed for a mere trifle? And yet how many families
linger out a painful existence under this deadly blight
am! do nothing but gulp down quinine, until it be
comes as common as their daily meals, and yet they ,
are not relieved. None but the foohsh and weak
would hesitate to procure these valuable Bitters and
sare themselves intense agony. "

AFAMILY NECESSITY.
The lollowing statement speaks for itself :—(_?_-
tract.) "In lifting the kettle from the fire it caught
and scalded my hands and person severely—one hand
almost to a crisp. The torture was unbearable. It
was an awful sight. * * * The Mustang Lini
ment. appeared to extract the pain almost immediate
ly. It healed rapidly and left no scar of account.
Charles Foster, 420 Broad St., Philadelphia." It is
truly a wonderful article. It will cure any case of
Swelling, Burns, Stiff Joints, Eruptions or Rheuma
tism. For Horses, it should never be dispensed with.
One dollar's worth ol Mustang has frequently saved a
valuable horse. It cures Galds, Sprains, Ringbone,
Spavin and Founders. Beware of Imitations. Sold

OXYGENATED BITTERS.
A Query.— Why will you sutler? Dyspepsia is a
brief but comprehensive term for the numerousdiaea
ses which affect the stomach, liver, and, in fact, the
whole human system. Until Ur. Green discovered
the Oxygenated Bitters medieai science was at fault
and had exhausted itself in fruitless efforts to cure
this disease. The Dyspeptic need suffer no longer
with a disease that is always painful, and frequently
a fatal affliction.
This unique and peculiar compound will as certain
ly cure the disease as the disease exists. Had it not
this power such testimony as follows would not be giv
en in its favor:
Valuable Testimony in favor ot the Oxygena
ted Bitters.
Washimgton, D. C, Jane 10.
Having made use of the Oxygenated Bitters, pre
pared I y Dr. G. B. Green, of Windsor, Vt., and from
knowledge obtained of their efficacy in other cases,
we cheerfully recommend them to the public, believ
ing they wilt fully sustain the recommendation of the
proprieior. We hope that.tbis valuable remedy may
be accessible to the afflicted.

DIED.
At his residence near Stribling Springs, March 13th
E. L. Miller, in the 67th year of his age. He was a
native of Bielefeld, Westpalen, Prussia. He has been a
resident of this country upwards ot 20 years where he
established for himself a good character, an honest
man and a good citizen.
At his residence near Staunton, on Thursday morn
ing, the 15th inst., attera brief illness, Purser Sameul
Forrest, of the U. S. Navy. Mr. Forrest had resided
at this place for several years, and was held in deserv
edly high estimation by a larga circle of friends. His
remains were taken to Lexington for inteiment, on
Saturday, being escorted beyond the town limits by
the two military companies of Staunton.
On the Ist of March, I*6o, Chables Simox, at the
advanced age of 74 years. The subject ot this notice
was born aud raised in Lancaster co., Pa., where he
spent the best part of his life ia the humble but laud
able occupation of Cooper. Some years since here
moved to Augusta co., Va., where he honestly and
faithfully* pursued the same business. He was an
honest man, an honest workman, and much respected
by all who knew him. His last illness was borne with
great resignation, and his end was peaceful. Having
been a member of the M. E. Church, and a faithful
christian 40 or 56 years, he longed to "depart and be
with Christ which is far better." B.
On the 23th ult.., at, the residence of his father, in
Waynesboro, Va., John T. Reedek, aged *25 years and
22 days. Thus has death removed from our midst
one beloved for his generous, kind, benevolent and
high moral character, and nice sense of honor, leaving
a void space in the hearts and ailections of dear pa
rents, sisters and friends which can never be filled.—
The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away.
What if death with icy fingers
All the fount of life congeals
'Tis not there thy brother lingers,
'Tis not death his spirit feels.
Though for him thy soul is mourning
Though with grief thy heart is riven,
While his flesh to dust is turning
All his soul is tilled with heaven. D.

IMPROVED INSTRUMENT FOR SUR
VEYING AND CALCULATING AREAS, by Jas.
M. Lilley, Stauntoir, Va.
This is instrument is a semicircular plate, witb a j
needle-box attached to the diameter, aud the circular!
edge graduated in degrees; and there being a mova- j
ble limb or alidade attached to the centre of the plate,
with verniers at both ends, the bearing of a line can
be read for any number of degrees or minutes
The plate is so divided as to form, with the scale of
the alidade, a traverse table of lines instead of num
bers, which gives at once the latitude and departure
of any course and distance run.
The table answers the same purpose for ascertain
ing heights and distances, as the reauired distance is
read from the plate without the trouble of referring
to the logarithmic tables.
It gives the horizontal measurement of the lines of
a survey ; and where there is local attraction the lines
can be traced independent of the needle, there being
two pair of sights, enabling the surveyor to form at
once the angie required by the bearings of the cour
ses.
The variation of an old line is easily calculated on
it, and for such work as leveling for mill-races or
draining land, it answers every purpose of the level.
There is an attachment for solving oblique trian
gles, which gives the base and perpendicular of the
triangle, trom which the area can be ascertained very
readily ; and it also giv_* the bearing aud distance of
the closing line in a division of land.
The Instrument can be used with either the sights
or telescope.
The following is one of the many certificates which
have been obtained for this instrument:
U. S. Coast Subvey Offic_, }
Washington, Jan. 10, 1859. )
The Surveying Instrument exhibited to me by Col.
Lilley is a combination oi the Surveyor's Compass with
a protractor serving as traverse table. It gives at
once the latitude and departure of any course aud dis
tance run ; and has several other useful and ready ap
plications in ordinary surveying.
The principles on which it works are very obvious,
and so far from being complicated, it rather serves to
illustrate the nature of the survey. Much labor ofcal
culatiou and plotting inav be saved by its use, and,
when well made and correctly graduated, it will give
reliable results. A. D. Bacbe, Supt. U. S. C. S.

This invention enables us to offer to the public Boots
and Shoes that Never Wear Out at the Toes !
We have hundreds of testimonials from parents
who have bought them, showing, that on an aver
age, one pair of Shoes with the Tips, will for children,
wear as long as three without, and lor Misses, Boys and
Youths, they will wear at least twice as long, while
THE COST IS BUT A TRIFLE MO RE. This state
ment is made with entire confidence in its strict truth,
as it is based on a careful examination ol the facts in
au experience of more than two years., which has
proved that these Copper-toed Shoes have, on an av
erage, worn three times as long as the old style, aud
as the' cost is but a trifle more, the importance of this
invention to all having little feet to protect, will at

HOSTETTER'S
STOMAGHJHTTERS.
The proprietors and manufacturers of HOS
TETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT
" TERS can appeal with perfect confidence to
physicians and citizens generally of the United
States, because the article has attained a repu
tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon
this point will speak more powerfully than
wdumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery.
The consumption of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters for the last year amounted to over a half
million bottles, and from its manifest steady
increase in times past, it is evident that during
the coming year the consumption will reach
near one million bottles. This immense amount
could never have been sold but for the rare
medicinal properties contaiued in the prepara
tion, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country
where the article is best known, who not only
recommend the Bitters to their patients, but
are ready at all time 3to give testimonials to its
efficacy in all cases of stomachic derangements
and the diseases resulting therefrom.
This is not a temporary popularity, obtained
by extraordinary efforts in the way of trum
peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid
estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is
destined to be as enduring as time itself.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved
a Godsend to regions where fever and ague
and various other bilious complaints have
counted their victims by hundreds. To be
able to state confidently that the "Bitters"
are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like
diseases, is to the proprietors a source of un
alloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, purifies the blood, and
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
toacondition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as
per directions on the bottle, and they will find
in it a stimulant peculiarly* adapted to comfort
declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate,
invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic,
and rejuvenating generally. We have the evi
dence of thousands of aged men and women
who have experienced the benefit of using this
preparation while suffering from stomach de
rangements and general debility; acting under
the advice*.of physicians, they have abandoned
all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the
merits of this article. A few words to the
gentler sex. There are certain periods when
their cares are so harassing that many of them
sink under the trial. The relation of mother
and child is so absorbingly tender, that the
. mother, especially if she be young, is apt to
forget her own health in her extreme anxiety
for her infant. Should the period of maternity
arrive during the summer season, the wear of
body and mind is generally aggravated. Here,
then, is a necessity for a stimulant, fo recupe
rate the energies of the system, and enable the
mother to bear up under her exhausting trials
and responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene
rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigora
tors that receive the endorsement of physi
cians, because it is agreeable to the taste aa
well as certain to give a permanent increase
of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have particu
larly referred above, to wit: sufferers from
fever and „gue, caused by malaria, diarrhoea,
dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and
all diseases or derangements of the stomach,
superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary
occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult
their own physical welfare by giving to Hos
tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial.
CAUTION. —We caution the public against
using any of the many imitations or counter
feits, but ask for Hostetter's Celebrated
Stomach Bitters, and see that each bottle has
the words "Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters"
blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped
on the metallic cap covering the cork, and
observe that our autograph signature is on the
label.

This little work will find a warm response in every

with Goa, committed unto men, and shows how this
power may be used to accomplish the largest results
and how it often fails of its proper end, from indo
lence aud unbelief, and want ot earnest and perse
vering zeal. It will commend itself to every reader
as the best treatise onprayerin tbe English language.
It is marked by the freshness and vigor of thought,
and the energy and elegance of style which have
won for Prof. Phelps a foremost place among the di
