THE EAGLE. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY. DECATUR, ilVmA]¥A~ FRIDAY, JULY », 1869.

THE SEWS. Tlia Ohio Republicans have renominated Gov. Hayes and Lieut. Gov. Lee. The Indians are a good deal dissatisfied with the removal of Gen. Harney. They say they don't understand or like the Quaked. Boric, Secretary of the Navy* resigned his position on the 25th and George M. Robeson, of Camden, N. J. has been appointed to succeed him. An earthquake visited Alton, 111., on the 2d inst. There were .two distinct shocks, which caused houses to tremble very considerably, and awakened almost the whole population. Several official communications -'luvf passed between Gen. Rodas, the new captain general at Cuba, I and the home government, relative to Cuban affairs, but their tenor has not been made public. A Cuban expedition, numbering five hundred men, arrived at Erie, Pennsylvania, Saturday evening, from Philadelphia. They will cross to Canada, and will embark on a vessel clearing from a Canadian port. Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue Douglass has declared that agents of commission merchants who solicit consignments of fruit to be sold by commission merchants, upon which sale they receive a per centage, are not liable to any special tax under the law. '

The Maine Democratic State Convention, which met at Bangor, June 29th, nominated Franklin Smith for Governor, and adopted resolutions in favor of “free trade, equality of taxation, including United States bonds, and an economical and just administration of public affairs in accordance with the principles of the Constitution.” A dispatch from Sioux City says the steamer Amelia Laborge ararrived this evening from Buford, t and reports Indian outrages at Grand River and Big Cheyenne. The whites were greatly excited. The Indians having received no supplies, ami having been repeatedly deceived, are firing into steamboats, driving of cattle, and threatening death to all whites. Kansas papers in referring to the storms and freshets in that State says that a colony of Swedes, who were encamped on Kaw river in temporary shanties, they being on route for the back settlements, were sudnenly engulphed by the late rising of the Kaw. The party endeavored to escape, and but thirteen succeeded in doing so, the remainder, numbering some twenty in all, being carried away and submerged in the water. Gen. Sickles has received most important instructions as minister to Spain, on matters relating to the Cuban question. They were agreed on at the cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The details to these instructtions are not known yet, but the object can possibly be stated to be an .attempt on the part of the administration to put an end to further bloodshed in Cuba, by offering a friendly intercession. This is said to be in such ashape that there is little doubt but what Spain will accept.

Prominent radical politicians of Virginia begin to give up the chances of Wells’ election. There are several causes for this. First, the candidate for lieutenant governor on Wells’ ticket is a negro, and if the ticket is elected Wells will be likely to go to the Senate, and the negro will step into the guberuatorial e'.iair, which is something Virginia don’t want Second, the name for lieutenant governor on die Walker ticket is one of the most popular in the State, and will bring thousands of votes to Walk er. Third, the ne'gro voters are not at all enthusiastic as to Wells, ami will stay at home in large numliers. An election takes place in North Carolina the first TtK’sd.iy in August next, 8 to choose township oflkcrs in S 3 cuuntko of the state.

Virginia The election for state officers, members of the legislature, and congressmen, in Virginia, will occur to-morrow. The contest is between the “radicals” and the conservatives”—such being the only division of parties at the present time. The radical candidates represent the extreme negroworshiping end of the Jafiobin party, with a full blooded negro on the ticket for lieutenant govern or. The conservative candidates represent the moderate and decent men of the same party, and all of the democratic element. The conservative candidate governor, Mr. Gilbert C. Walker, was well known in Chicago, a few years ago, as an active democrat and an able lawyer. His extraordinary aptitude and executive promptness as a presiding officer were noted in a number of democratic conventions over which he presided. His oratorical abilities, too, were of a high order. Always clear-headed, prompt, and incisive in debate? or at the bar, Mr. Walker was one of our raising young men. He is probably not yet over forty years old. The radical politicians in Washington concede the success of the conservsative candidates. They assign as reasons that if Wells (the radical candidate for governor) should be elected, he . would be sent to the U. S. senate, and a negro would become the governor of the state, which the “white republicans” don't relish. Also that Wells, by reason of his personal dislike of “niggers,” cannot command the entire Ethiopian vote. But better than these reasons is probably the more general one that the white inhabitants of Virginia have not even yet been so thoroughly reconstructed on the basis of loyalty” that tlqg; can .approve the logical results to which the Jacobin doctrines are hastening the country. Under the name of conservatives, they are still demacrats, desiring to save whatever it may be possible to save of a democratic system of government — ChUSligo Times.

The Military Secretary of the Navy—How Selected. President Grant seems to be governed very much by the same principles in the choice ofhisCab- ' inct officers that he is in the selec-. j tion of bis horses. The best illus- ; tration of this is found in the case ' of the new Secretary of the Navy, ' Mr. Robeson. The President met ' Mr. RobCson for the first time ai bout a year ago, when he with was 1 S.nitor Cattell. He had met him 1 once or twice since, but only casn- | ally. When Mr. Boric told the . President that he wanted to retire i from thefabinet Grant asked him - who he would recommend as bis successor. Boric mentioned Mr. ■ Robeson. Grant said he did not know him well enough. This happened just previous to the Pre- ■ ident’s trip to West Point. He wanted to get a chance to study Robeson’s good and bad points, without lettinglhe object of Lis curiosity know about it. —— j Before starting for West Point the President said to Boric, “Sup- | pose you write a note to your I friend Robeson and say you are i going with me to West Point, and that as you have the privilege of inviting a friend, you would like him to be one of the party. In that way I will get a chance to see what kind of a man he is.” Boric, j who it seems was anxious to place Robeson in his old shoes, readily ’ complied with the request. The ' result of it was Mr. Robeson made • one of the Presidential party at West Point. On the way'tip and j during the time they remained there Grant embraced every op- - portunity to draw Robeson out on |~vtgidus topics. Ofcouse Mr. Robeson—who had no idea at that time of being offered a place in the Cabinet —felt considerably honor- ■ ed in the attention he received : from the President, and spoke his i mind quite freely on every subject i introduced. Grant is said to have ■ eyed Robeson as a man does a iiorsc he is about to purchase. The President told Boric that Robeson had many good points about, him, and he would appoint i him Secretary of the Navy, as he guessed he was about as good a man as he could get. A Great Error.—We observe by the State Sentinel that Judge ■ Pqrkins has permitted himself to make an argument licfore the ' Supreme Court, asa lawyer, which he adviserl the Democrats of the las Legislature againts. as a man ! This is wrong. Position money, . 1 reputation, nor nnthing else should ’ make a Democrat, in these pcrlous times, <rive an opinion against the law and the truth, not even as ■ an attorney, who is allowed great latitude. We are proud to observe that i Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, on the same side of the case, refused I to say that the Legislature of Ind iana could do business with less ' than two-thirds of all the members of each House present.— Erans- • rille Courier. The number of real estate sales in San Francisco during May was , 1,034, amounting to 81.222,237.

SPECIAL NOTICES. AN-TN THE 'and" RISING generation, the vegetative power of life are strong, but in a few years how often the pallid hue, the lacklustre eye and emaciated form, and the impossibility of application to mental effort, show its baneful influence. It soon becomes evidence to the observer that some influence is checking the development of the body. Consumption is talked of, and perhaps the youth is re*moved from school and sent into the country. This is one of the worst movements. Removed from ordinary diversions of the ever-changing.scenes of tins ■sity, the powers of the body too much enfeebled to give zest to healthful and rural exercise, thoughts arc turned inward upon themselves. If the patient be a female, the approach of the mensesg is looked for with anxiety, as the first symptom in which Nature is to show her saving power in diffusing the circulation and visiting the cheek with the bloom of health. Alas! increas eof appetite has grown by what it fed on; energes of the system ifro prostrated, and the whole economy is deranged. The beautiful and wonderful period in which body and mind undergo so change from child to woman, is looked for in vain; the parent's hearts bleed in anxiety, and fancies thtr grave but waiting for its victim. Helmbold’s Extrac'of Buchr, for Weak, ncss arising from excesses of early indiscretion, attended withvthe following symptioms: Indisposition to Exertion, Loss of Power, Loss of Memory, Difficulty of B entiling, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nerves, Trembling Dreadful Horror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wakefulness, Dimness of Vision, Langour, Universal Lassitude of the Muscular System, Of'feu Enormous Appetite with Dyspeptic Symptions, JJot. Hands, Flushing of the Body, Dryness of the Skip, Pallid Countenance and Eruptions of the Face, Pain in the Back, Heaviness of the Eyelids, Frequently Black Spots Flying before the Eyes, with Semporary Tuffusion and Loss of Sight, want of Attention, Great Mobility, Restlessness, with Horror of Society, Nothing is more desirable to such patients than Solitude,and nothing they more dread, for Themselves; no Repose of Manner, on Earnestness, no Speculation, but a hurried Transition f.om one question to another. These symptoms, if allowed to goon which this Medicine invariably removes - -soon follow Loss of Power, Fatuity, and Epileptic Fits, in one of which tho patient may expire. During the Superintendence of Dr. Wilson nt the Bloomingdale Asylum this sad result occured to two patients: reason had for a time left them, and both dipd of epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and, about t wenty years of age. Who can say that these excesses arc not frequently followed by those direful diseases Insanity and Comsumption? The records of the Insane Asylums, and the me'anchaly deaths by Consumption bear ample witness to the truth of •these assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears. The countenance is actually sodden and quite dcstitue—-neither Mirth or Grief ever visits it. Should a sound of the voice occur. “With woeful measures wan Despair Low sullen sounds their grief beguiled.’ Whilst we regret the existence of the above diseases and symptoms, wo . are prepared to offer an invaluable gift of chemistry' for fheretnoval of the consequences.

Let not Prejudice Usurp Your Reason. It is a fact that, in the minds of rnnny •persons, a prejudice exists against what are called patent medicines; hut why should this prevent you resorting to.'an article that has such an array of testimony to support it ns HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS? Physicians prescril>e it; why should you discard it? Judges, usually considered men of talent, have used nnd do use it in their families; why should you reject it? Let not your prejudice usurp your reason to tlio everlasting injury of your health. If you are sick aud need a medicine, try these Bitters. When the bodily energies are worn out by anxiety and need a stimulant, this is the best that can be taken. It is tempered and modified by hygienic herbs and roots, which prevent it from fevering the blood; and hence it does not produce a mere temporary excitement, to bo followed by injurious reaction, but communicates a permanent potency to the entire vital organisation. Some of its herbal constituents arc slightly soporific, so that in cases where sleeplessness is one of the accompaniments of nervous disease, a dose of it taken towards bed time will tend to produce quiet and refreshing slumber. For palpitation of heart, tremors hysterics, fainting fits, and general restlessness and the causeless fears nnd di jtrcssfng fancies to which ladies are especially subject, under certain morbid conditions cf mind and body .peculiar to their sex, the Bitters will bq found the most agreeable and'Certain of sll counter-irritants. The constitutionally nervous may readily keep thoir infirmity in constant check by the daily use of this healthful vegetable tonic; and those who have ‘‘shattered theirinerves,” as the phrase is, either by impAdent indulgence or undua physical or’intellectual labor, will find in this vitalising elirir a prompt restorative.
