Ifa bottie was found there bearing our lettering, the language of the Ancient Ro- mans wae different from the accepted literature of thatday. Our agenthas other businers than this in Europe, and bas not been in Italy at all. No doubt Americans carry Plantation Bitters to Rome; but trying to impose upon a society of Antiqusrians in this way seems quite useless, and we do not appreciate the joke. It isummecessary for us to spend money in Europe while we are un- able to supply the demand for these celebrated Bitters here. Respectfully, my 27-lw P. H.

The physical structure of the strongest human being is vulnerable everywhere, Our bodies are endowed by xature with a certain ne, power, which protects them to some extent from unwholesome iniuences;but this protection is im perfect, and cannot safely be relied on in un- healthy regions, or under circumstances of more than ordinary danger. Therefore, it is wisdom, it is prudence, it is common sense to provide agatnst such contingencies by taking an antidote in ad- vance: in other words by fortifying the system with acourse of Host&rrer’s StomacH Bitrers, the most complete protective against all the epidemic and endemic maladies that has been administered in any country, Asa remedy for Dyspepsia, there is no medicine that willcompare with it. Who- ever cuffera the pangs of Indigestion, anywhere on the face of the earth where HosTeTTER’s Bi rers can be procured, does so voluntarily; for as surely as the Truth exists, this invaluable Tonic and Al- terative would restore his disordered stomach toa bealthy condition, To the Billious it is also erpe- cially recommended, and in cases of confirmed Constipation it affords speedy and permanent re lief. In Canada, the West Indies, and Australia, the Birters rank above all other medicines of the elats, and the demand for them in all foreign countries increases every season, my l020 that cures it.

TELEGRAPHIO NEWS, FROM HAVANA, Reports about the Ram Stonewali_H k yered, @fficers and Crew P, a Ulf, &c.—Several United States Gun. beats were ready to Attack Her—Later Newsfrom Mexico. — New York, May 24.-—The steamer Moro Castle, frem Havanaon the 2th ingiant, has arrived. 2 There are various rnmors concerning the ram Stonewall. One which proved unfounded was that the Spanish Government had bought her for $60,000, Another qefort is that Captain Boggs of the Connecticut, had demanded hersurrender of Captain Page, who preferred to put her in possession of the Captain General, on condi- tion that she should not be given to the United States. That official, however, refused to re- ceive her on such conditions, bat would re- ceive her as a deposit. This was agreed to, and 6ke was towed to the arsenal, and her flag lowered, and her officers and men paid off, and put Gn shore. The Powhatan, Arles, Connecticut, and sey- eral other gunboats were lying off the port ready to attack the ram if she attempted to put io sea, 5 ae: mu genade-ramper Lea arrived from alvestén wi ston and Galveston rs. of the 13tt, potatos that Kirby ‘Smike re: dused to snfrender. ‘These papers confirm the news from Mexico of the capture of Comargo and Cluna by Negrete, and that he was marching on Mata- moras, securing recruits on the way. Caveles had joined him with three nundred mes and Vidourry was at Loredo with Bene- vides. The Liberals had driven the Imperalists out of Pedras Negras, making a number of pris- oners. Lepez had succeeded in reaching Monterey, Cortinas having missed him. itis said thata battle took place between Negrete and Mejia on May 1. The result is unknown. REVOLUTION IN HAYTI. Cepture of Cape Haytien, Genaives and St. Marks by the Insurrectienists. Boston, May 24.—The schooner Ponoma, Captain Molineux, at this port, brings ad- vices from Cape Haytien to May 13, by which we learn that a political revolution had taken place on the island. The rebels, headed by a Uolonel Salnare, took possession of Cape Haytten on the 10th inst., without opposition from the government troops, and not @ gun was fired by either party. It was a bloodless affair. The towns of Genatves and St. Marks had also been taken by the rebels, and the people appeared to acquiesce in the change. The leader of the rebellion, OolonelgSainare, is the person who attempted to assassinate one of President Geffrard’s ministers some months since. FROM NORTH ALABAMA. Large Union Meetings Held—Petition for a Military Gevernor. MEMPHIS, May 22.—The Bulletin says the news from North Alabama is encouraging. Meetings are being heldin all parts of the State, and strenuousjexertions are being made to bring Alabama back to the Union. The meetings are largely attended. Petitions are circulating through Alabama for the appoint- ment of a Military Governor. Fr Flerida.

THE COAL TRADE—Decline in One Month Five Cents to $1.35 a Ton—The Delaware, Lacka- ‘wanne and Western Railroad Company made its twenty-sixth auction sale of Scranton coal to-day, John H. Draper & Uo. acting as auc- tioneers. There was 4 large attendance, come prising many of the most extensive coal oper- ators in this city. Thesale was comparative- ly slow, occupying aid an hour. A few months ago the sales of this series were usual- ly made in fifteen to twenty minutes. The Suctioneer announced in the beginning that on account of the rise in the premium on gold he expected to get a better price than was ob- tained at the sale yesterday. Three thousand tons of steamboat coal were then offered. The first bid was $1 @ ton, which excited some laughter. The figure was increased to 3650, The same bidder took another thousand tons at Six thousand tons of Jump coal were then offerea. mate at 26.90 a ton, and the and the bidder took @ thousand tons. $7.20; and the third thousand at $7.10. The first sale was Tate ran down gradually till it reached $6.40, at which the last ef the coal wassold. Four thousand five hundred tons of grate coal sold in six lots'at $6.70a86.95. One man took 2,000 tons. The egg coal—3,500 tons—was then sold, nearly all to one bidder, at £6.65 to 86.37%. Forty-five hundred tons of stove coal soid in about twenty lots at $3.75 to $6.85.

[t was probably at or very near Washington where Davis dismissed his escort and divided the spoils, under the most press- ing circumstances. Some of Stoneman’s cay- alry were hard upon him, and he concluded to deceive them by letting them follow the body of cavairy, while he and his friends travelled incog across the ecuntry and joined bis family. Toadd to the horrors of his situa- tion the escort demanded a division of the con- tents of the kegs aiid boxes, (gold and silver), and he was obliged todelay some time and act as paymester. Astet as | could learn the di- vision was wi y made—some of the officers receiving as Much as one hundred dol- lars and upwards, the lidn’s share; while others not so exacting reeeived a bare pittance. This raised considerable disturbance im the camp, and during the melee Jeff. and compag- nons du voyage skedaddled. The ‘petticoat story” is, inthe main, true, although it has been told a score of times by different correspondents, many of whom sup- plied the lack of a knowledge of facts by copious draughts from the imagination, and gave itas many different phases as there are monies im the calendar. The facts are as fol- ows The attack was made upon the camp by Colonei Pritchard jast as the first streak of dawn began to light the Eastern sky. Every- ining was profoundly silent.

Mrs. Davis appeared at the door and said :— “Please, gentiemen, do not intrude upon the rivacy of ladies. There are no gentlemen ere, and yon will oblige us greatly by giving us time to dress.” “AN right, madame,” said the corporal; ‘we. will give you time to make your toilet, and then youcan take a ride to Macon for your health.” A guard was placed around the tent, and the reader's imagination must draw from the de- noument what transpired inside. After a half hour’s interval, the monotony outside only beirg broken by the demands of the guard te “ha up” there came to the door Mrs. Davis and Miss Howell, leading an apparently de~ crepit old lady, dressed in & lady’s morning wrapper with a tight hood on her head and her ifth feat with their arms and horses, to tace covered with a small veil.

Davis— stood before them, in all his pusillanimity, and in his true character, before the light of which Henry VIII. pales, and Richard lil, riees in the scale of human greatness. When Jeff.saw thathe was fairly canght, and would be delivered into the hands of his enemies, he waxed exceedingly wroth, and. Tailed out at the soldiers whenever opportunity offered. He frequently made use of such sneer= ing remarks as— “Valoreus soldiers, indeed, to make war u ‘women and children!” «f£ thought the Yankee government wa; @ little more vatorons than to send its soldiers to steal defenceless women and children out of their beds at night,” &c. Mrs. Davis ironically remarked that she “was not aware that an old woman and four children were ofso much valueas to be es- corted by three bundred soldiers through the country.” JEFF. READS THE PROCLAMATION. 5 I have previously mentioned the effect pro= és duced upon Davis by the President’s procla~ mation offering a reward of on¢ hundred thou- sand dollars for his arrest. I have often tried. to imagine the terror of Belshazzar when he read his doom iu the handwriting on the wall, or the horror ot the murderer when the hands of the officers of the law are iaid rudely upon. him. Such, batin a yastly magnified degree, Must have beep the feelings of Jeff. Davis when he read that proclamation. As his eyes glanced over the fatal lines I have thought that he must have come to the first realization. of bis condition. He trembled like an aspen leaf, dropped the paper from his hands and Sank into reveries and sullenness. wile Picked up the paper, read its contents audibly, and they all burst inte tears.
