Military.—Capt Ed Henderson’s Second Cavalry Company is progressing finely. The large bounty $302 to new recruits and $402 to Veterans isstillpaid all who enlist will receive it. Now is the time for all who desire to go on horseback to volunteer. It is understood that the bounty will not continue long. Volunteer while you can get it. There is a great difference between receiving $lO2 forgoing and being drafted at sl3 per month. The difference is decidedly ‘in favor of the Volunteer. Volunteer while vou have a chance to choose how vou will go, and while you can get good p»yannual report. The various corporate institutions of the land have their annual reviews—why should not local editors do the same? Though the items may not be of as great importance, we will venture to claim they are of more interest than the columns of statistics usually put forth. The local of the Memphis Bulletin, to demonstrate the above, gives as his an nual report the following, which is a fine average of the experience of all local editors; report. Times.

Didn't know, 200,000 Lied about it, 99,987 Kidnapping of negroes.—'Gen. Spiuola deciares that the kidnapping of negroes is done exclusively by members of the Loyal League, who make large sums of money by the infamous practice. The Pacific gold coast mines turned out $52,500,000 worth of ore last year. Oats —A man named Oats was haul, ed up recently for beating his wife and children. On being sentenced to imprison ; ment the brute remarked that it was, very hard that a man was not allowed to i thrash his own oats. ‘Soldiers must be fearfully dihonest,’ says Mrs. Partington as it seems to be a nightly occurrence for a sentry to be relieved of his watch.’ —Unemploted Major Generals.— A. ashington correspondent writes: ‘Congress will take action soon after its organization upon some measure to dispose of the long list of unemployed Brigadier and Major Generals in some way less burdensome to the nation than they now are. A resolution will be introduced in, the Senate, calling upon the President for information as to the cause of such officers removal. My information on the subject is indefinite, further than the real object will be to prohibit, men for whom there is no prospect of service in the field from drawing pay from the Government I am sot as liberty to use the name of the gen- , tieman who says be will take the initatory steps in the matter.

HOSTETTER’S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective and alterative of wonderful efficacy in disease of • the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. Cures Dysjpepsia, Liver complaint, Headache, General i D- bility, Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, l constipation, colic, intermittent fevers, cramps ■ and spasms, and all complaints of cither Sox. j arising from bodily weakness whether in her* I ent in the system or produced by special causes, i Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and i restorative in its nature enters into ths compo : i sition of IjLsttetfer’s Stomach Bitters This, popular preparation contains no mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element; no fiery I excitant; but it is a combination of the extracts of rare balsamic herbs and plants with the i purest and mildest of all diffusive Rtimu’ants. : It is well to be forearmed against disease. ■ and. so far as the human system can be protec ■ ■ ted bv human means against maladies engen- ' dered by an unwholesome atmosphere, impure : water and other external causes. Ho tetter’s Bitters may be relied on ns a safeguard. In districts infested with Fever and Ague, it has been found infallible as a preventive and irresistible as a remedy and thousands whore- ; sort to it under apprehension of an attack, es- | cape the scourge; and thousands who ne-jleet to avail themselves of its protective qualities in advance, are cured bv a very brief course of this marvelous medicine. Fever and Ague patients, after being plied with quinine for ; months in vain, until fairly saturated with , that dangerous alkaloid, are not unfrequent.lv restored to health within a few days by the use of Hostetter’s Bitters The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appetite restored by this agreeable ( Tonic, and hence it works wonders in cases of Dyspepsia and in less confirmed forms of Indi- | gfstion Acting as a gentle and painless ap- : perient, as well as upon the liver, it also »nva- I riably relieves the Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the digestive an«l secretive organs Persons of feeble habit, liable to Neroovs Attacks, Lown ss of Spirits, and Fits of Langour, find prompt an permanent relief ; from the Bitters. The testimony on this point i is most conclusive, and from both sexes. The agony of Bilious Colk* ’« immediately assuaged by a single dose of the stimulant, and by occasionally resorting to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented. As a general Tonic, Hostetter’s Bitters produce effects which must be experienced or witnessed before they can be fully appreciated.— In cases of €onstitutional Weakness, Premature Decay nnd Debility and Decrepitude arising from Old Age, it exercises the electric influ- ' ence. In the convalescent stages of all diseases jit operates as a delightful in vigorant. When I the powers of nature are relaxed, it operates i to re-inforce and re-establish them. Last, but not least, it is 7V*e Only Safe SlimI ulant, being manufactured from sound and in- ; : nocuous materials, and entirely free from the ; acid elements present more or less in all the i ordinary tonics and stomachics of the day No family medicine has been so universally, | and, it may bo truly added, deservedly popular j with the intelligent portion of the community.
