M. Jackson, Philadelphia—Dear Sir: 1 have been a subject of Dyspepsia, in its worst form, for the last five years. Such was my condition for twelve months that the physicians and all who saw ime said [ must die. While in this condition, I was carried to the watering places in Virgmia, Tennes- see and North Carviina, but was nef benefited by any water to which I was taken. While on my way home, I stopped a week at Rutherfordton, a sma!) village in North Carolina, to try the effect of some Chalybeate water in that place. About the Inst of the week, I went into a drug store to get some medicine for my child and myseif. There were several of the village physicians in the store, and one of them seemed to take some interest in my ease, and, after asking me some questions, said he bad been a-dyspeptic, and had been greatly bene- fitted by the use of “ Dr. Hooflai German Bit- ters,” prepared by ya, and he insisted that I would try the Bitters He also called the next day at my room, and insisted so much that [ would try them that f asked him io get me one bottle. He did it, and I commenced taking it as directed, and { do say I was more benefitted by it than all the water and medicine I had ever taken. After reaching home one of my neighbors came to me for a prescription and medicine, (he a dyspep- lic,) and t gave him nearly all the Ritters I had left, which effected much good in his case. He has often called On me for more of the same knd of medi- cine, saying he was more benefitted by it other he had taken, but I have not been al any more for him or myself siz. fore, please ship me a dozen or as pos- sibie.

We take from the New York Express the following particulars of the Cincin- nati riot, which that journal obiains, we believe, from the Cincinnati Commer- cial : A difficulty between the Germans and Know Nothings occurred yesterday re- garding & cannon. We endeavored to gente the facts in the case, but cannot positive that we have succeeded, as the terrible excitement prevailing through- out the city,.and the countless rumors flying, rendered it extremely hard to at- tain accurate information. As near as we can learn, the facts are these: The Germans borrowed a brass cannon of the American Military Com- panies, with the purpose of firing it on election day, in honor of the birth day of Jefferson. The cannon was taken from them while they were using it on Jackson's. Hill, by a body of excited Americans, during the trouble at the 11th Ward ; and after ing theough the streets, and once fired when loaded with boulders, in the 13th Ward, was deposited in the armory where it be- longed. The Germans, it is said, took this can- non, or some other one from the armory, and placed it in a shed near Vine street, some four — above the canal. There is a disputed cannon, but what one it is, we do not know, and perhaps it is not important. Gen. Sargeant was highly indignant at the proceedings of the Ger- mans, in regard to this disputed prop- erty, and demanded that it be returned. To this the Germans refused to accede, and the news of the difficulty spread through the city, like flame in stub- ble. What claim the Germans had on the gun, or what was Gen. Sargeant’s authority in the case, we do not exactly understand. It may be sufficient to say that there was a dispute about a piece of artillery, and an immense accumulation of feeling in the city, which tended to spontaneous combustion. The rumor that caused most excite- ment down town was, that the Germans had loaded the cannon and proposed to use it against the Americans. General t, we are told, made an effort to t the cannon into his possession, but failed. and in the afternoon great crowds collected in Vine street. Between three and four o’clock, the street was thronged from the canal bridge to the foot of the hill. There were four crowds, each of which might be styled an immense mass meeting. ‘Two of these were of Ameri- cans—one on the bridge, the other a Couple of equarce higher up—and the other two were Germans. The sidewalks were thronged, and thousands of women and children looked on from the windows. The aspect of affairs was decidedly warlike. The Americans were ina state of extensive excitement, and seemed resolved to have the cannon at all hazards. We passed through the street, and heard enough conversation to gather the prevailing sen- timent correctly. The most current re- mark was, “Let them give up the can- non,and we will let them alone—but give it up they must! We saw Mr. Cox, the Prosecuting Attorney, begging the Americans to return to their own side of the Canal, and settle the affair in some other way than by force of arms, but his words seemed to be wasted. Dr. Fries was passing along the street, and pausing to make inquiries, was sur- rounded by @ multitude of Germans, and addressed a few words to them in their own language, and also in English. As this gentleman’s language has been liable to misrepresentation, it may be well to give his exact words. Speaking in Eng- lish, he said : “T want you all to keep the peace— for God’s sake keep the peace—but if your rights are assailed, shed the last drop of blood in your veins sooner than submit. But if possible, for God’s sake keep the peace.” Passing up the street we saw unmis- takable evidence of a preparation for a desperate conflict. Pistols were being loaded —. Nearly every German was armed. The handles of pistols pro- truded from their pockets, and many had swords. We met a party of about a dozen stur- dy fellows, carrying rifles, upon the tubes of which were seen the glistening of caps, showing that they were pre- pared for active service, and to the rifles were attached sabre bayonets—making altogether a terrible weapon, at once a rifle and aspear. The German women kept up a constant chatter, in which the words ‘Know Nothing” and “+ Demo- erat” were most frequently distinguish- able. The street, viewed from the upper portion, appeared black with men as far down as the eyecould reach, and through the dust, above the dense throng of hats, the flash of steel was at intervals per- ceptible, Meeting a German acquain- tance, he informed us that the halls of the Freemen and Turners were each filled with men armed with rifles, who swore to defend the disputed cannon to the last Pe Returning near sundewn, the street was even more densely filled. Thesher- iff, with a view of removing the cause of difficulty, was endeavoring to get pos- session of the gun which was the imme- diate cause of contention, and no resist- ance was made by the German officers ; but the multitude pressed about the shed where the cannon was stationed, so that it was entirely impossible to get it away, and the sheriff left the ground on receiv- ing assurances from Capt. Moore, and other German officers, that the gun should not be improperly used, and should be to the proper authorities at apy time. About this time the Germans detected in their midst, or thought they did, one Star. NO. 707. of the persons who — the ballot boxes in the Eleventh Ward; a ory of “Know Nothing” was raised, the indi- vidual in question fled, and the boulders rage esa a4 a P moss | quite obnoxious peaceably disposed ns. The Germans, we then understood, were ex- pecting a grand attack in the evening, and making Tesoiute preparations to re- pel it. Coming down town, we saw, scattered profusedly about the corners of the streets, triangular bits of red ; which were supposed by outsiders like ourselves to be thedistress sign of the <.

Spooner, Esq , addressed the multitude, earnestly advising a quiet dis- persion. The speakers were constantly inter- rupted by the cries of those who were anxious at once to ‘pitch into the Dutch.” Ae Saya as ‘come one—go ‘long—why don’t you go ? i if youre pe ty inpeasently cod loudly vociferated. In the mean time the Germans fortified themselves most formidably, erecting three strong barricades of wagons, carts, drays, 7 — vehicle or available material they could manage to hold of. These were erected—one poten Vi street, at the crossing of Fourteenth, one across Walnut at the crossing of Mercer, and the other at the junction of Mercer and Vine. They had two pieces of artillery, crammed to the muzzle with chains and slugs, and planted one in Mercer street, and the other at the corner of Fifteenth and Vine. The hails of the Freemen and Turners were crowded with mn armed with rifles, ready to march eut at a signal. The house tops were lined with men, provided with all descriptions of firearms, and with boulders and bricks. Sentinels were stationed, and the Ger- man portion of the town thus placed ab- solutely in a state of siege. It was near ten o’clock when a body of reckless Americans, about four hun- dred strong, with a drum, fife, and ban- ner, crossed the Vine street bridge, and with gay music, marched steadily into the German territory. They had pro- ceeded nearlpto the first barricade (par- ties of half grown boys being in front as skirmishers, throwing stones at eve appearance of a German) when they were fired upon from the front, each side, and the house tops. We imagine from the sound of the volley, that near fifty shot were fired. One man was killed dead, and five wounded seriously, one, it was thought, mortally. The one killed was named G. B. Monroe, a resident of Indiana, who was stopping at the Farlow House. He was shot through the head and dropped lifeless. The corpse was taken to the Bremen street station house, and was there some time before it was recognized. Tle was at the head of the procession. One of the wounded was thought to be dying at midnight, but we could not learn his name or place of residence. William Grey, a cooper, residing on Third s:reet, between Mill and Stone, was struck by two slugs, one of which passed through his left hand, and the other lodged in his abdomen. He is not a man of family, but lives with his mother. A man named Boggs, of this city, was hit in the throat by a musket ball, which drew some blood, but did not in- flict a dangerous wound. He returned talking loudly, and may not be consider- ed in peril. John Coleman, who resides in Seventh street, opposite Smith, was shot in the T calfof the leg—not considered danger- ously. Patrick Dorey, of Covington, was wounded in the side, severely. One effect of this fatal firmg was to drive back the procession which was en- tering the German portion of the town. The Know Nothings rallied on Vine street bridge, which they made a kind of headquarters for warlike operations. After this time no person was allowed to cross any of the canal bridges near the scene of the fight, and few indeed had much inclination to undertake it, as there was danger on all sides. The news of the fight soon reached the great crowd on Fifth street, producing fearful excitement. Many persons were in favor of charging the Germans insolid mass, and making a regular battle of it, but the knowledge of the formidable pre- parations of the Germans, and the judi- cious counsel of several men wiih good lungs, and perhaps a little stratagem, re- strained them. . Prof. Lippit urged the multitude not te go unarmed and assault barricades de- fended with artillery, and whole ments of well armed and well drilled men. He stated that he _ Pg coe by Gen.
