Notices, dew | for’ by the Know Nothing managers around us, for services rendered in our municipal pol- itics. According to a recent publication of those fraudulently in control of the affairs of the monument, Mr. John Wilson, late Commis- sioner of the General Land Office, and now President of the Second Ward Know Nothing lodge of this city, has been made their genera! agent. They are to give him a salary of $2,000 per annum, and have prefixed ‘‘ Hon.” before his name, we presume, by way of add- ing to the importance of his office. With due respect for Mr. Wilson, we have to say that the act of putting such a handle to his name is causing his fellow citizens to split their sides, e’en a’ most. He hag no more legiti- mate right to it, through any position he ha: ever held, than had ‘Col. Pluck’’ to the never-to-be-forgotten handle affixed to his patronimic by the wags around him many years ago. We take it for granted that Mr. Wilson is annoyed at this foolish attempt to dress him up in borrowed feathers, prelimi- nary to sending him forth as agort of peddling -Know Nothing emissary; for that, after all, is the real purpose of his proposed tour. It is very clear from the way in which the affairs of the monument are now being conducted that all the money paid towards its completion, while under its present control, will never raise it a foot higher, while there are office- seeking Know Nothings in Washington to be pensioned, or money required to be expended for Know Nothing party purposes. The Elections.—To-day elections take place throughout the States of North Carolina and Tennessee. They are both anti-Democratic States whenever the Democratic party ha- a serious contest on its hands. We are not prepared to express a decided opinion as to the probable result in either of them, and, our friends will remember, have stu- diously avoided making such publications as might induce them to wager their money on these States. Nevertheless, we place little confidence in Know Nothing bragging over their prospects in North Carolina and Ten- nessee, over which they are boasting pretty much as they boasted prior to ascertaining the result of the Virginia election. Leading and reliable Whig and Democratic anti-Know Noth- ings write from all parts of both these States, to Washington, representing that they expect to carry a majority of the members of Congress in both, which is the stake for which our friends are playing in both. We concur in their judg- ment. Yet we advise our friends, one and all, not to risk their money on these or any other elections whatever. Arrival of the Grizzly Bear.—This arrival, which has been expected for some time, has just reached the Smithsonian Institution, and may be seen fora day or so at the grounds south of the building. He will then be taken to the farm of the Insane Asylum on the Po- tomac, where there is already a large collee- tion of living animals well worth a visit. The bear is from the Rocky Mountains, belongs tu the largest species found, and weighs 500 pounds. He was presented to the institution by Mr. Hendricks, of Madison, Indiana. Tendered.—We are satisfied that very re- cenlty the President has offered the Commis- sionership to the General Land office to the Hon. T. A. Hendricks, a member of the last Congress, from Indiana, and have no idea that that gen- tleman will decline the position. He is a man of exccllent sense and business talents, and has uad great experience a3 a land lawycr in the great West. The appointment will doubtless prove an excellent one. Removed and Appointed.—Mr. Wm. Har- ris has been removed from the post of assistant messenger in the office of the Commissioner of the Customs, and Mr. James Thompson has been appointed in his stead. A Navy Officer Dead.—The Navy Depart- ment has advice of the death of Mr. Henry 8. Barker, third assistant engineer, U. 8. N.

Each assault was repulsed by the French without material loss. Another sortie was made upon the English on the night of the 17th, which was also re- ulsed. “ On the 18th another sortie was made upon the batteries at Carcening bay, which was vig- orously repulsed. he Russian ships were beginning to suffer from the French batteries at Quarantine Bay. The report that Prince Gortschakoff had re- ceived reinfurcements is fully confirmed. Another Black Sea expedition is being fit- ted out by the Allies, supposed for Odessa or for the relief of the Turks, who are hard pressed at Anatolia. ASIA. The Russian army had invested Kars Kutai, and were hard pressing the Turks in Batoum. The Russians were Prnging up the siege guns, and the situation of the Turkish force was considered critical, as the Russians held all the roads to Eurzeronin. THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The British ships were reconnoitering the approaches to Abo. solid as the rock On the other hand, if the bricks are put up dry, they immediately take all the moisture from the mortar, leaving it to dry and harden, and the co: uence is that, when a building of this description is taken down or tumbles down of its own ac- cord, the mortar from it is like so much sand.

HIS wegen although less than two years T befret e public; per to its wonderful ef- fects upon the human hair and scalp, has already obtained a celebrity and sale perfectly "n paralleled. It has without the ordinary appliance used for such purposes, won its way, and been heartily welcomed to most of the cities and towns in the United States, the Canadas, and the West India Islands. Nor is this result surprising when it is remembered that its popularity is upon its merits, solely as established by actcal tests That this preparation will actually Restore gray Hair to its Natural Color, produce a luxuriant growth upon the heads of the bald, the hair from falling off, and when used as a tonic ar. ticle, uce a continual flow of the natural fluid and thus render the bair soft, glessy and wavy, destroy diseases of the scalp, and expel dandruff, the certificates of distinguished gentlemen and ladies in every part of the country who have tried it, and therefore speak what they know. most ful- ly attest. That by a proper use of this Restorative the hair can be made to attain and retain its natu- ral color to almost any aze alotted to humanity, by removing the cause of disease from the scalp— no matter how long standing— the concurrent tes- timonials of the press and the certificates of nu- merous respectable individuals of both sexes, to the use of this curative, as well as of the recom- mendations of editors and certificates before allu ded to, can be had of all agents Brooxrie cp, Mass., Jan. 12, 1855 Pror.
