Mr. Sockbridge, of the Fountain Hold, Light street, Baltimore? Dear Sir: Being on the point of 1 paring the city, I avail myself of a few idle moment* to thank you kindly for the medicine yon sent me, and which has restored me to the nee of my limbs. I beg yon to send me four bottles more, to carry on my voyage, fiiroe I had the fortune to use Dr. Hampton's Vege table Tincture my confidence is ?o strong that, in gratitude '0 the proprietor* of said medicine. I beg you to present my respects to them, and induce them to make it more publicly known as a sure Rheumatic cure. Having called on me on the 19th of April last, and Been me prostrated on my bed, useless in all my linbs, you can appreciate nearly *s well as myself the prompt relief I received from Dr. Hampton's Tincture, and I am positive had it not been lor your strong and forcible recommenda tions I should still have been in bed. It is really a pity this specific should not be ap> proved by medical men, and like all patent drugs it should suffer the imp .tation the public generally give to sucn preparati if. I mytelf, who was al ways opposed to a patented specific, took this medi cine with reluctance, and without confidence in it, and it was only through your disinterested, friendly recommendations, and my critijul "itaation that in duced me to try this really beneficial Vegetable XbMtave. You may inform Messrs. Mortimer A Mowbray that they Are at liberty te make use of my name in that suppert of the good effects of Dr. Hampton's Vegetable Tincture, as it has cured me in five weeks of a chronic Inflammatory Bhevnatism, contracted under tropical climates, and of seven years'periodical duration. I have only used three bottles, and find that even the deformedparts of my hands are fast returning o the-r former natural appearance I have been under toe treatment of several phy sicians in London and Paris, without any apparent benefit; also, while in New York, having tried the Thompsonian and Hcmoepathic remedies, after hav ing be^n tormented with galvanic ba teries, cold an-1 aromatic baths, and hundreds of internal and external medicines, all to no effect, I am, so tar, cured by this Hampton's Vege able Tincture only. Therefore, my tear sir, accept of the assurance of my gratitude, and believe me your well wisher. Thomas Oaxot. REV. VERNON ESK RIDGE, U. S. N. P03TSM0UTH, Ya , Aug. t8,1861. Mr. J. E.

So far as my experienoe extends, therefore, I take pleasure in recommend ing it to the afflicted as a safe and efficient remedy.

Mrs. Beeoher Stowe has found a new antag onist in the editor of the Northern Ensign. She extols the system pursued on the Duke of Sutherland's estate, of which that paper says: " The system which Mrs. Stowe lauds is an butter failure. What, it asks, is the present social condition of the county of Sutherland but that of absolute and universal serfdom ? The whole of its 25,000 inhabitants are, with less than 200 honorable but marked exceptions, either the-most abject serfs, or the uncomplain ing and pliable tools of the duke's commis sioner. Does any tenant or tenant's depend ant dare to speak loader than a muttered whis per against a single despotic act of Mr. Loch ? We know Mrs. Stowe's statements to be base less, fabulous, and it is truly sad to think that a cause so noble and so well entitled to the support of mankind at large should suffer, as that of freedom will now do, from Mrs. Stowe's ill judged and gratuitous defence of what she never inquired into. Sutherlandihire is just Russia in miniature?Russia absoluteism, the rule of terror reigns with unchallenged sway. There is either rolling affluenoe or wretched poverty. There is the noblest structure in the north of Scotland, and there are the meanest huts. Almost within sight of proud Dunro bin's golden-peaked turrets (here are cabins where human beings burrow, in which the good duke would not allow his dog to live. " Superior power and wealth" have so far aided u the struggles of advanoing civilisation," that in scores of instances, pigs and sheep, and dogs, and cattle, and human oreatures live and move and have their being under the same roof. Dare they to complain of their state ? " Then," say their surly tormentors, " leave the country ; you have no business here " Do they venture to represent to the duketheir condition? Ways and means are taken to suppress their groanings, generally by the aid of threat and menace. And thus has uni versal Sutherland become totally paralysed. From head to foot, the whole community is one vast festering sore. The whole charges against the people have been proved to be ma lignantly fabulous, and to be only adopted to afford a pretext for reinforcing proprietorship with supreme sway, and securing the prosper- * ity of tne rich by the ruin of the poor. The vast and splendid straths of a noble county, wholly turned over to sheep farmers, were to be the Bource of more than oriental opulence to the Dunrobin treasury, and the county would speedily become one vast El Dorado. Qod has ordered otherwise; and while the en emies of the noble people of Sutherland have so far got their wish accomplished, in their wreck and eviction, their great aim has been neutralized, and with the destruction of the j finest peasantry under heaven, remarkable for all those features of character which distin 1 guish a truly noble community, has come the utter annihilation of all those phases of ma terial prosperity which accompany, by the wise and merciful arrangements of the Divine ; Being, an industrious and free people. Mr. Loch has sown the wind, and he now reaps the whirlwind." Our Naturalization Laws. As certain changes are proposed in the Nat uralization Laws of Congress to make them more stringent, the Albany Journal published an abstract of their provisions, for the pur pose of showing that the evils complain^ of are in the execution of the Laws. According to these provisions a foreigner who has resided five years in the U.S., and one ] in a State, inaj present himself before tne U. S. Circuit, the U. S. District, the Supreme, or : the County Court, and apply for naturaliza- j tion. He must, in the first place, bring two < "citizens" of the United States to swear that he has lived five years in the country, and j one in the State, and that he is a person " of good moral character, attached to the princi* pies of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and hap- t piness of the same." After which he must 1 swoar to the same facts substantially himself. ] And if these oaths are falsely made, the nat- 1 uralization is void and the parties subject to ] imprisonment for perjury. I In the nexUpIace, he must prove that it has ( been for two years past his deliberate inten- ] tion to make application to become a citizen ? of the United States. The only proof that will be accepted of this, if he was of age whon he came to the oountry, is a written dec- 1 laration of such intention made two years previous, before a Court, signed by its Clerk, ' and sealed with its seal. The next thing required of him is to take a solemn oath on the Bible "to bear true faith and allegiance to the United States and to re nounce all allegiance and fidelit-, to every foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereighty as he has previously been a subject of," (men tioning by name, the Queen of England, Em peror of Austria, the Pope, the Czar or who ever the sovereign may be, under whose au- , thority be formerly lived.) Subsequent acts contrary to this oath are punishable by fine, imprisonment and death. Finally, he must renounce his order or title 1 of Rank or Nobility, if he kas any such, and resign bis commission, if he hold one, under any foreign power. He, his wife and children then beoome enti tled to the rights of American citizens, so far as holding property and voting is concerned. But he cannot hold certain offices without a Still furthern term of probation. He cannot be a Representative until after seven years longer, nor a Senator until nine. And none but a native-born citizen can be President or Vice President of the United States. Dignity Down.?Rev. W. T , of Indi ana, is a large man of dignified bearing, and when pxe&ching, extremely sensitive to any disturbance, a slight impropriety on the part of the congregation being quite sufficient to throw him off the track. He naa some -a., ?? nnnnAction with his pastorate, a small congregation in tne ooun try, to which he preached semi-ocoasionally, at a private house. Theinoident here record ed happened at this place, when a small, but select audience was listening to one of T 's really animated and sensible sermons. As the preaoher waxed warm, he observed some mysterious movement among the female ?;ender, which attracted his attention away rom the sermon. It grew more observable, until he discovered the hostess collecting some live coals upon a shovel, and preparing to march with them to an adjoining room. It was late in the afternoon, and by clerical in stinct, he thought the old Woman was about to prepare his supper. He couldn't stand that. '?Stop, sis er, stop," said he. "I shall not remain to supper, and you need not trouble yourself to prepare any for me." "I ain't agoing to," said the old lady, in reply. "Thar s a woman here got the colic, and we are just bilin' seme yarbs for her!" I wasn't there just at the time, but oouldn't discover any difficulty in believing that all the starch was speedily taken out of that sermon. - A Chequered Career.?Rev. Thos. Chil ton, alternatively a lawyer, politician and clergyman, recently died in Kentucky. In 1819 he wasa member of the Kentucky Legis lature, then a clergyman, and subsequently twioe elected a member of Congress, as a Jack gon man. Afterwards he became a friend of Mr. Clay, and being a candidate a third time, was defeated. This was in 1831, but in lb33 he was again sent to Congress, and in 1835 re tired to private life, and ended his days as a clergyman. t-i 0riSin o' Vtwtptpen. of T0lun,e * " Cariosities sfjg with historical facts concern,?v P*P?

Prbciocs Talishah ?Alexander Dumas re cently reoeived from an admirer in Russia the most precious talisman known in Europe a fragment of a hanged man's rope. This ad mirer was formerly, according to his own story the most unlucky being alive; but no sooner was he in possession of the rope than his uncle died, and left him a large fortune, by which he was enabled to marry a lady with whom he was in love, and who has just given him an heiress, the image of herself. Learning that Dumas was still poor, despite of his fourteen hours of labor a day, he determined to cut him off a piece of his rope and endeavor to re instate him in the good graces of the blind goddess. The way the Russian himself came into possession of the rope was singular. The father of the lady with whom he was in love was governcr of a city, and upon liis daughter imploring him to obtain for her a suicide's rope, he summoned the warden of the politi cal prisons, and acquainted him with the young lady's desire. The warden said that there was certainly a great deal of hanging and ?uicide going on, but it was usually done with an old cravat or a pocket handkerchief, not in a state to be presented to a lady. Besides, the superstition is explicit?the instrument of sus pension must be a rof e. The Governor told him to pretend to drop a rope in the way of the prisoners, someone of whom would, doubt less rut the occasion to profit. This direction was followed, and the young lady was soon in possession of an elegant new rope, from which had dangled an enemy of the Statu. She sent it to her lover, who was soen enabled by it to marry|her. The piece sent to Dumas is three inches long. He says he hopes it will have an effect upon the quarter's subscription to the Movsijutaire, for if it does not he shali throw it into the fire.?-Parts Correspondent of the New Yurk Time'', GT The body of Wesleyan Reformers, which sprung into existence since 1849, is now said :o possess, chapels or preaching places, 1,458* preachers. 2 963; circuit agents, 77; class eaders, 3,160; members, 48.082; on trial, 1,203; Sunday schools, 779; Sunday schooi eachers, 13,573; Sunday school scholars, 80 ? )00 ; tract societies. 167; tract distributors, 1,401; benevolent societies, 171.
