TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES,
FOR THE "MINERS' EXFKESFI."
Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.
46th Ballot—Stanly C7, 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 legitimately pertaining
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.

Tlic 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 escape a
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.
He 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. We think
differently and therefore speak.
We are still sorry for this action of the
convention. The members composing it did
not know their man. They gave him tl», 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 Road.
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
BIICWS that 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 lier 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 speedy 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 we 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
*cal:
We learn from E. D. Clinton, one of the Di
rectors of the Milwaukee and Mississippi Rail
Road Company, that he has obtained, within the
.last fortnight, subscriptions to the amount of
$70,900 in the niogle 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 subscription. and all
among our own people, to this great State en
terprise, now amounts to $560,000. 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 Chicngo Jour
nal of Monoay last, the whole amount subscrib
ed to the Chicago and Galena It. R. Company,
thus far, i* but $365,000, nearly $200,000 short
of the sum subscribed to the Milwaukee and
Mississippi road.
We also learn that Mr. Clinton, acting under
the instructions of the Board, has let a number
of contracts for clearing and grubbing the line
of road at prices very much below the estimated
cost of such work. These contracts have been
Jet to farmers along the line who propose to
work out' their subscriptions in this way. It
is gratifying to know that the people of the in
terior evince the most lively interest in the sue-
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 OK THE GHAVK OF DIXWF.I.L.—
We 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. Dixwell 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.
POSTMASTER GKNEKAI.'S REPORT.—The Bal
timore Sun publishes an abstract of the annual
report of the Post Master General, from which
it appears that the increase of Post Offices in the
United States is 55 the number of appointments
is, 6333, of which 2000 were removals. The
revenue of the department amounts to $4,904,
000, unexpended $265,000, expenditures $473,
000 ballance in the treasury $69,000. The ex
penditures for the current year are estimated at
,750,000, revenue $4,892,000. The Postmas
ter General recommends a uniform rate of pos
tage of five cents, and denounces Railroad mo
nopolies. He says additional clerks are requir
ed.
The Laiul that flows with Iloncy!"—Our fel
low citizens, Samuel Gilbert, Wm. Chambers,
Senior, and others, took a hunting 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
tine Journal.
Peter Cameron, indicted for murder at the last
term of the Prairie du Chien Court, was tried
and found guilty of Manslaughter. A motion
was made for a new trial, which was overruled.
Afterwards a motion was made in arrest of Judg
ment, which was held over for argument.
The case was ably conducted by Ben. C.
Eastman and Alfred Baronson, Esqs., for the
State, and by lion. Charles Dunn, Platte Smith,
Esq., of Dubuque, and F. J. Dunn and D. G.

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, we
believe he was removed two or three months
ago by Mr. Collamer. Visiters at Washington
in other days, will recollect his uniform polite
ness. He 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 n party of convivial friends,
it was said that he drank a little too much, and
this became known to Gen. Jackson, who was
fond of cranking a joke with him. The General
sent for liirn, and remarked, "Jemmy, I've heard
a bad story about you." "About me, sir?" he
inquired, and, smiling, continued, "and I have
heard a good many bad stories about your Excel
lency but. I don't believe them."—Tho General

Annually of Consumption!
IN
the l.*nlted States, yet how many could have been
saved If they had resorted to Dr. liogrrs' Liverwort and
'Par, In season. Thousands upon thousands are now tes
tifying that it lias saved their lives, restored them to health.
No one nceddespair. Though your physicians and friends
give you up to die, you cannot be worse than .Mrs. Rnwc,
of
Staunton, who was given up by her doctors and friends, to
die with the last stages of Consumption. We publish her
citificates in addition to the vast number obtained in Cin
cinnati, to show that the cures it makes are not confined to
that city alone, but in every place where it has been intro
duced. Read what she says:
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 give me any relief and
for the space of one year I grew rapidiy worse. In addition
to this I was attacked with a violent cough although ail
excellent physician lived in the same house, and used the
greatest exertion and paid the strictest attention, it baffled
all his skill—two others were called in, one of which was
an aged and skillful p.'iy. ri'i"'. !-'Jt all their efforts proved a
lijco nnavaiiing. At last a nhvsic.ian who was atteii.ling:'.
camp meeting in the neighborhood, came to see me, 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 this
crisis, (bearing of the astonishing cures performed by Mr.
Rogers' Compound Hyriiji of Eiverwort and Tar,) went to
Cbilicothe and back, a distance of si\ty miles, in thirteen
hours, to get some of the above medicine. I commenced
taking it, and strange to tell, before I had 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
fied that bail it not been for this excellent medicine I would
now be in my grave, and must injustice say that 1 truly re
turn my sincere thanks to the inventor of this priceless med
icine, and would recommend all persons afflicted with dis
eased lungs to give it a trial.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 22d, 1849.
Dr. W. B. Sloan—Sir: About Mvo years ago, wlillo
rafting on the Mississippi river, in passing over the rapids,
I was plunged in the water, and by the rat'f dashed against
a rock, crushing my left leg and otherwise seriously injur
ing me, so much that I lost all sensibility. When edit1*
sciousnes returned. I found myself in St. I^Jiiis,surronnd.
ed by my weeping family. Good nursing and medical aiafe,
enabled me in about two months to hobble around with tlio ,f
assistance of a crutch. The wounds only partially healed,
leaving large running sores at the knee, which for many
months discharged blood and matter of the most offensivB-.^iCr
character. My pains were inexpressible at times my s'.if*.
feringwas so great that death would have received a
hearty welcome. Fortunately, Mr. Wilson, (one ot my
neighbors,) advised me to try your Ointment 1 obtained
a box and applied it according to direction—tho sores soon
began to assume a healthy appearance, and in thretf
months I was entirely cured, ami able to endure hard la
bor. Your Obd't Servant,
IHRAM W. THOMAS.
We, the undersigned, neighbors of II. W. Thomas,

tho circumstances, most cheerfully confirm said Thomas'

TERRIBLY SCALDED.
Fellow-Citizens of Chicago, the deep and distressing
wounds I lately received in being Terribly Scalded1 by
the bursting of a distillery boiler, were healed in the short
space of fourteen days by the free application of Sloan's
eclebrateil Ointment. Also, my child, that had been sorely
afflicted fur several nu nibs with Marasmus, on whom I
expended a largo sum of money for medical advice and
medicine-', was restored to health in less than three weeks
by the use of Sloan's Ointment.
For injuries on horses I am confident Ploanr3 Ointment
is far superior.to any other remedies now used.
In my opinion, eeery family should constantly keep on
hand this valuable Ointment.

WONDERFUL STIR.
S/oan's MeJirincs.—There is a womlciful stir made r
hout these medicines, and we are credibly informed that
nothing has ever been offered to the public, so de ervin i
attention, 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
cuts, are cured in surprising short time, and the life tf
many a valuable horse saved. The numerous certificates
published in his advertisement, from well known individ
uals, fully attest the value of tho medicines for the uses
and purposes staled, and we have no doubt they will be
come popular medicines in this section, as they are in gen
era! use in the West.—JBuff.ilu Republic, June II, 1849.
RATTLE SNAKE BITE.
Dr. Jr. B. Sloan—Dear Sir Last month Mr. A. B. Tay
lor, of Gopher Hill, Indiana, had a lior-e badly bitten oil
the nose by a Rattle-Snake. Some ten hours after, I saw
the horse, his head was remarkably swollen, 1 immedi
ately applied yi nr (tintmcnt freely, and we are astonishi
at tiie reiief alfi ed. In less than one hour the swelling
began to abate, and in twenty-four hours it had nearly all
subsided and within three days, the horse was not only
lit for use, but was actually put to hard labor without any
injurious result. Yours, Respectfully,
Chicago, June 9th, 1849.

Addison, Kane county, 111., June 0,~l, 1819.
Mr. If. P. Sloan—Sir: I send you by the bearer fifty
cents, for which you will please "send mo a box of yorr
Ointment. I think it the best medicine for wounds in
horses that I have ever used. Early in the spring I had a
very valuable horse 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 cutting his
foot witii a drag-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.

CONS( '1 ENTf OTJSLV.
Sloan's Ointment.—We dislike to "puff" patent medi
cines, owing fo the vast quantity now in existence, ot
which, no doubt, half at least, are spurious—not fit for
the toleration of the people but When such come under
our notice that wo can conscientiously rccummcnd we do it
with pleasure.
We have not spoken a word favorable of this Ointment
since the proprietor commenced advertising with us, for
fear there was some humbug in its efficacy, but now, be
ing convinced, by the numerous statements'of our friends
relative to its genuinenr.is, we do most earnestly recom
mend if to the public as tlio very medicine for healing
man and beast ever used. Ail diseases of the flesh, ob
stinate ulcers, old sores, burns, cuts, &c., find immediate
relief by the application of this Ointment. See Sloan's
now advertisement In another column.—l.t. Rev. June SI.
EXCELLENT EMEDY.
We have used, for several months past. Sloan's Family

a family, especially of young children, is constantly lia

dy.— Rockfard Free Press, Feb. SMtll, 18-10.

State. The Ointment has been found most effectual in
•iiring the scratches, fresh wounds, galls, spavins, bruises,
ring hone, poll evil, in short, in all other outward disor
ders it has been found an efficient remedy. The Condi

Should the Pills not operate easily and freely, and lie ovofi y
by eight or nine

a dose than before, because the Pills take away the groMI
and corrupt humors Which clogged up the blood, and pro
