THE reason why Lord Raglan has not stormed
Sevastopol, has been mainly "wins to the
weak and enfeebled condition of the Allied Armies.
caused by their unparalleled sufferings in an inhos-
pitable climate. It has now been clearly ascer-
tained to have been produced by the absence of
Robertson's Tonic Bitters, which
would have supported and invigorated even the
hardy soldiers, so much that those armies would
have been in a robust and healthy condition and
his lorship could, with ease and elegance, have
effected his object. It is now whispered in certain
circles that the attention of Her Majesty's Govern-
ment with that of France has been drawn to this
most Important fact, and that commissions from
both Governments will issue to procure a supply
adequate to the wants. Wg do not know exactly

THE subscriber respectfully inform* the citi-
zens of Waco, those visiting this unequalled
fer.ile country, for the purpose of settling, and the
public generally, that he has completed arrange-
ments for establishing an Aaency at this point, in
| which the prosecution of Gknebal Land Bcsiness
j will be a prominent feature.
He will be prepared at all times to execute wt-
tings and deeds of every dcscripti'-n with accuracy,
, and to attend to the liule intricacies pertaining to
j incipient law business which a regular legal prac-
1 titioner so often neglects. Through him good le-
! gal advice can be procured, and those hnving
I claims in the vicinity of McLennan county will be
; candidly and truthfully informed of their validity.
As a Collector of claims and a General Agent,
his former success and references must be his on-
, ly recommendation.
Debts of every description will be collected, if
they can be. and no exertion on the part of tlie
subscriber or his assistants, will be spared to se-
cure the settlement of the claims of those who
confide their accounts to him.
The undersigned will make it his business'o vis-
it various prominent points iu the State, on pro-
fessional business, or to send a capable agent thith-
er in the prosecution of the duties entrusted to
him. To Austin, San Autonio, or Galveston, he
I will pay periodical visits, which will he regulated
in their frequency by the amount of business to
be transacted.
He will attend to receiving subscriptions for th-
various Periodicals and Newspapers of the day,
throughout the country; and in short, transact
such duties as a General Agent is expected to do.
Particular attention will be paid to the
prosecution of Bounty Land Claims under the
Act of Congress, of Mav3d. 1855.

W. B. Minor's Vegetable Preparation far the care
of agtic and lever myself, and gave it to one of my
black men in a hi^h fever after the ague. It check-
ed tbe fever iu less than two hours; the next day
the man went to'work, and has had no return of
fever and ague up to this time, a period of three
months. 1 feci fully authorised to mrnmtarad it
