Congress.
WASHINGTON,
Dec. 15.
46th Ballot—Stanly G7, Stephens 23, Brown
85, Potter 17, scattering 16.
47th Ballot—Winthrop 10, Boyd 86, Stephens
27, Potter 18, Stanly 66, scattering 17. No
choice and the House adjourned without elect
ing a Speaker.
In the Senate, Mr. Berrien offered a resolu
tion for the appointment of a committee to in
form the President, that the Senate was organ
ized, and ready to receive Executive communi
cations. Mr. Clay spoke in favor of the resolu
tion, and said that he had only refrained from of
fering a resolution to the same effect, from an
unwillingness to intrude himself upon the Sen
ate at the commencement of a new Administra
tion, which was always attended by a press of
business, and it was important that the Senate
should act upon matters legititinately pertaiiiin
to it. It was an ancient custom, and whilst all
regretted the present state of things in the House
there was imposed upon the Senate executive
functions, which, in no wise, interfered or de
pended on the other department. He hoped the
resolution would pass forthwith.
The resolution was adopted and a committee
appointed to wait on the President, who inform
ed them that he would send a communication to
the Senate on Monday. The Senate then ad
journed.
In the House, the balloting passed off very
•quietly.

The Auamosa Convention again.
When we wrote the little article in last week's
Express, upon the action of this Cnvention, in
sending Lucius II. Langworthy a "lobby mem
ber to Congress, we did not expect to escap
noticc from that gentleman's pen. He is so
afflicted with what has been called the cacoe
thes scribcndi," that he will write, even though
he has no readers—but himself. Yesterday's
Telegraph opens up with one of his pro
ductions., containing, as most of his efforts do, a
profusion of words, intending to convey one
idea, viz that he is some pumpkins, the truth
of which his actions, as well as his words fully
confirm.
lie has not the slightest doubt but he is fit to
go to Congress, and that he can do the rail road
and the State of Iowa some good. Wc think
differently and therefore speak.
Wc are still sorry for this action of the
convention. The members composing it did
not know their man. They gave him tlie oppor
tunity of drafting the resolution by which him
self was sent to Washington, not knowing that
the fiery zeal of this renegade politicial, is mak
ing their favorite rail road scheme but a hobby
horse, on which to ride into notoriety, and per
chance into Congress. Save the mark
In answer to the remarks of the editor of the
Telegraph, we would say, we entertain no hos
tility to the proposed public improvement. Did
we wish to throw any obstacle in the way, we
should certainly approve the sending of Lucius
H. Langworthy to Washington to bore the
members of Congress, as he alone can do.
Milwaukee and Mississippi Rail Ronl.
It will be seen, from the appended article, that
stock to the amount of $56 ),000 has been sub
scribed for the construction of this popular road.
There is another fact, in this connection, which
Bhews that
41
that some things can be done as
well as others." The farmers upon this route,
who have taken shares, intend to work out their
subscriptions- This affords them a triple ad
vantage it gives them employment it gives
them an ownership in the road and, when this
road is constructed, the value of their farms will
be enhanced far beyond their most sanguine ex
pectations.
Now, if Wisconsin, alone and unaided, can
undertake -with every prospect of success, to
construct this extensive line of rail road, cannot
Iowa do something towards commencing her
projected works Could not her farmers imi
tate the example of their brethren in Wisconsin
-—make labor be equivalent to capital—employ
themselves, if they need employment—take an
interest in the road, and promote its speed)' com
pletion. Labor will answer the road as well
and perhaps better than money and every one
who is able and willing to labor, could become
a stockholder. This is not the first time rail
..roads have been built by labor almost unassisted
/by capital and wc trust that the laborers and
farmers of Wisconsin, who have embarked in
this enterprise, will not be disappointed in their
reward. Farmers and laborers of Iowa, be
awake be ready to unite your efforts with the
first attempt at rail road improvement.
"-•Read the following and reflect when you have
*C#1:
We learn from TS. D. Clinton, one of the Di
rectors of the Milwaukee and Mississippi Rail
Kbad Company, that he has obtained, within the
.last fortnight, subscriptions to the amount of
$70,900 in the single town of Milton, Rock
county. Most of the *ubscriber3 are farmers,
who take from $500 to $1500 worth of stock in
the road. The aggregate subscriptions, and all
among our own people, to this great State en
terprise, now amounts to $56'.),00o. This is, in
deed, encouraging progress, and makes the
eventual success of the undertaking more and
more certain. It is worth while to state, in this
connection, that according to the Chicago Jour
nal of Monoay last, the whole amount subscrib
ed to the Chicago and Galena It. 11. Company,
thus far, is but $365,000, nearly $200,000 short
of the sum subscribed to the Milwaukee and
Mississippi road.
We aluo learn that Mr. Clinton, acting under
the instructions of the Board, has let a 'mwilxsr
of contracts for clearing and grubbing the line
of road at prices very much below the eotiniated
cost of such work. These contracts have been
let to fanners along the line who propose to
^workout' their Hiibscriptiom in this way. It
is gratifying to know that the people of the in
terior evince the most lively interest in the
HUC-
I A *r
siasm, that promises the best results. Will it
not be indeed, a proud boast for our State, the
youngest of the Confederacy, to make, that she
forged with her own hands and by her own un
aided efforts, the iron chain which is to link the
shores of the Lakes with the Mississippi.—Mil

OPENING OF THE GRAVE OK DIXWEI.I..—
Wc learn from the New Haven Palladium that
yesterday morning the bones of Col. John Dix
well, one of the renowned Judges who caused
King Charles the First to be executed, were ex
humed from their resting place in the rear of the
Center church in that city, where they had lain
since 1688, the time of his death. The skele
ton was in tolerably good preservation. The
proceeding was instituted by Mr. Dixwcll of
Boston, a descendant of the Regicide, who is a
bout to erect a monument over the grave. The
bones were gathered up, enclosed in a small box,
and recommitted to the grave, where they will
probably never be disturbed again.—[Exchange.

"77te Laiul thai flows with Honey!"—Our fel
low citizens, Samuel Gilbert, Win. Chambers,
Senior, and others, took a bunting excursion a
few weeks since to the Upper Iowa, and in five
or six days they hunted, found over fifty bee
trees, and brought home near 3,500. lbs of honey!
They were also successful in their pursuit of
game, altho' the bad weather confined them to
their camp half the time they were out!—Musca

Peter Cameron, indicted for murder at the last
term of the Prairie du Chien Court, was tried

GEN. JACKSON'S JEMMY O'NEIL DEAD.—A
Washington letter to the Baltimore Clipper,
says:
Jimmy O'Neil, who was, during the adminis
tration of Gen. Jackson, door-keeper
of the Pre
sident's house, was buried this morning. When
Jackson left the city in 1837, he took O'Neil to
Tennessee with him, and it is said, gave him a
piece of property, as a substantial token of his
regard. After the old hero died, Cave Johnson,
the Post-master General, made him a messenger
in the Department, from which station, wc
believe he was removed two or three months
ago by Mr. Collamer. Visiters at Washington
n other days, will recollect his uniform polite
ness. lie was a native of Ireland, and possessed
a warm and generous heart. Many anecdotes
were once told of the deceased. On one occa
sion, having attended a party of convivial friends,
it was vuuj that he drank a little too much, and
this became known to Gen. Jackson, who was
fond of cracking a joke with him. The General
«ont for him, and remarked, "Jemmy, I've heard
a bad story about you." "About me,

Annually of Consumption!
IN
the United States, yet how many could have been
saved If they had resorted to Dr. Rogers' Liverwort and
Tar, In season. Thousands upon thousands are now tes
tifying that it has saved their lives, restored tin in to health.
No uni needdespair. Though your physicians and friends
give you up to die, you cannot be worse than Mrs. Rowc, of
Staunton, who was given up by her doctors and friends, to
die with the last stages of Consumption. We publish her
cititicates in addition to the vast number obtained in Cin
cinnati, to show that the cures it makes are not confined to
that city alone, hut in every place where it has been intro
duced. Read what she savs:
This is to certify, that some months since I was taken
with a pain in my side and breast. I called in the aid of
several physicians, hut they failed to elve mc any relief and
for the space of one year I grew rapidiy worse. In addition
to this 1 was attacked with a violent cough although an
excellent physician lived in tho same house, and used tho
greatest exertion and paid tho strictest attention, it battled
all his skill—twootlierswe.ro called in, one of which was
an aged and skillful pliy.-ivian-. but all their ellbrts proved a
lilce unavailing. At last a nhvsician who was attending:'
camp meeting in the neighborhood, came to see mo, and de
clared that I could not last more than one day longer, also
all of the vast number who came to see me, believed that
a few days at most must end my earthly career. My friend?
were now called in to see me die, but my brother at thi
crisis, (hearing of the astonishing cure.: performed by Mr.
Rogers' Compound Svrup of Liverwort and Tar,) went to
Chilicothe and back, a distance of sixty miles, in thirteen
hours, to get some of the above medicine. I commenced
taking it, and strange to tell, before I bad used half a bot
tle the cough was entirely cured. From this time I recov
ered rapidly, and when I had used two bottles, I was able
to assume my family vocations as usual. I am fully satis
tied that had it not been for this excellent medicine 1 would
now be in my grave, and must in justice say that 1 truly re
turn my sincere thanks to the inventor of this priceless med
icine, and would recommend all persons atllictcd with dis
eased lungs to give it a trial.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 22d, 1849.
Dr. VV. B. Sloan—'Sif: About two years ago, whilo
rafting on the Mississippi Vivei', in passing over the rapids,
I wa plunged in the water, and by the rait dashed against
a rock, crushing my left leg and otherwise seriously injur-,
ing me, so much that 1 lost all sensibility. When Cdtl
sciousnes returned, I found myself in St. Louis, surround*
cd by my weeping family. Good nursing and medical aidf|"
enabled me in about two months to bobble around with the
assistance of a crutch. The wounds only partially litrsWd,
leaving large running sores at the knee, which for many
months discharged blood and matter of the most offensive
character. My pains were inexpressible at times my suf
fering was so great that death would have received a
hearty welcome. Fortunately, Mr. Wilson, (one of my
neighbors,) advised me to try your Ointment 1 obtained
a box and applied it according to direction—tlie sores soon
began to assume a healthy appearance, and in tliretf
months I was entirely cured, and able to endure hard la
bor. Your Obd't Servant,
HIRAM VV. THOMAS.
We, the undersigned, neighbor* of II. VV. Thomas,
were acquainted with the case above stated, and knowing
the circumstances, most cheerfully confirm said Thomas'

TERTIIBLY SCALDED.
Fellow-Citizens of Chicago, the deep and distressing
wounds I lately received in being Terribly Scalded' by
the bursting of a distillery boiler, were healed in tiie short
space of fourteen d-.ivs hy the free application of S.'naa'i
celebrated Ointment. Also, my child, that had been sorely
afflicted for fever,il months with Mara.nnus, on whom I
expended a largo sum of money for medical advice and
medicine-, was restored to health in less than three weeks
by tiie use of Sloan's Ointment.
For injuries on horses I am confident Sloan*3 Ointment
is far superior.to any other remedies now used.
In my opinion, eecry family should constantly keep on
hand this valuable Ointment.

WONDERFUL STIR.
Sloan's Medicines.—There is a wondeiful stir made r
bout those medicincs, and wc aro credibly informed that
nothing has ever been offered to the public se de ervin
attcnli.iii, especially of all who keep horses. Wi Sloan's
Condition Powder, a horse is always kept in good condi
tion, and by the use of his Ointment, bruises sprains ai
cut«, are cured in surprising short time, and the life cf
many a valuable horse saved. The numerous certificates
published in his advertisement, from well known individ
uals, fully attest the value of the medicincs for tlie uses
and purposes staled, and we have no doubt they will be
come popular medicines in this section,
as they are in gen
eral use iu the West.—Bitffjlo Republic, Jane i
1, 1849.
RATTLE SNAKE BITE.
Dr. IK B. Sloan—Hear Sir Last month Mr. A. B.
Tay
lor, of Gopher Hill, Indiana, had a horse badly bitten on
the nose by a Rattle-Snake. Some ten hours after, I saw
the horse, his head was remarkably swollen, I immedi
ately applied y ur Ointment freely, and we are astonislu
at the reiief a 111 led. In less than one hour the swelling
began to abate, and in twenty-lour hours it had nearly all
subsided and within three days, the horse was not only
fit for use, but was actually put" to hard labor without any
injurious result. Yours, Respectfully,
Chicago, Juno 9tb, 1849.

BEST MEDICINE.
Addison, Kane county, 111., Juno 2D, 1S19.
JITr. If. B. Sloan—Sir: I send you by the bearer fifty
cents, for which you will please send mo a box of yoi:r
Ointment. 1 think it the best medicine for wounds in
horses that I have ever used. Early in ihc spring I had a
very valuable hcrsc so badly kicked that I considered him
spoiled for the season, if not forever. I commenced using
your Ointment, and in two weeks the horse was able to
work. I have used him almost every day since. Last
Saturday I had another horse badly hurt by rutting his
foot with a dratr-tooth, but I have so much confidence in
the ointment that I am not much alarmed about it. By
sending the Ointment you will much oblige.

Geneva, Kane county, III., June 21,1819.
7T. B. Sloan, K«/.—DearSir: I wish you to send mo by
the bearer one dozen of your Horse Ointment, and a half
dozen Family Ointment. When your agent was hero, I
supposed I had enough to last me" till fall, but the Horse
and Family Ointment are all gone, aud I .have calls fur
more.
As your medicines aro adveritsed in tho Western Mer
cury, published in this place, would it nof be as well to

you wish I will call otl the publisher and have him say it
is sold 1^ 1). Dunham, Geneva E. Freeman, St. Charles

CONSCIENTIOUSLY.
Sloan,s Ointment—We dislike to "puff" patent medi
cines, owing to the vast quantity now in existence, ot
which, no doubt, half at least, are spurious not tit for
the toleration of the people but when such come under
our notice that we can conscientiously recommend we do it
with pleasure.
We have not spoken a word favorable of this Ointment
since the proprietor commenced advertising with us, for
(bar there was some humbug in its efficacy, but vow, be
ing convinced, by the numerous statements'cif our friends
relative to its ecntiinmess, we do most earnestly recom
mend it to the public as the very b"*t medicine for healing
man and beast ever used. All diseases of the flesh, ob
stinate ulcers, old sores, burns, cuts, &c., find immediate
relief by the application of this Ointment. See Sloan'*
new advertisement In another column IX Rev. June 21.
EXCELLENT REMEDY.
We have used, for several months past, Sloan's Family
Ointlent, for the various cuts, burns, and bruises, to which
a family, especially of young children, is constantly lia
ble, and have invariably found it to be an excellent reiue

PARTICULAR DIRECTIONS.
As an aperient to purge the bowels, from two to five may
be taken at apy time going to bed howover, Is the best time
Should the Pills not o]K-r:ite easily and freely, and be over
by eight or nine o'clock ill the morning, the next night in
crease the dose one, two, three or more pills they will
then act easier, and will the sooner cure. Si mc people
take twenty and even more to be well purged. IT IS MOR
ALLY IMPOSSIBLE THEY CAN DO ANYGOOD UN
LESS THEY PURGE, and tho more POWERFULLY,
the more good they do. The Pills require no attention cat
and drink what you please, and have no fear of catching
cold the body is better able to stand the efl'cct of cold after
a dure than before, becausc the Pills tako away the gYVMtt
and corrupt humors Which clogged up tho blood, and pre
vented it from circulating freely. Should thir.-t bo folt du
ring the day, drink any weak liquer—warm water is the
best but cold will do no harm.
Should the pills occasion any sickness befuro operating,
do not mind it who has ever seen any bad effect lroin sea
sickness? On the contrary, it is always salutary. Besides
this, sickness of stomach will bo soon over, and give great
relief. It only happens in the beginning, when the stom
ach full of corrupt acrimonious liltinors. Immediately
alter it is over, you will find your.-elf well and ready for
breakfast.
