1@~ If you are sick, the possibility
is that the root of your sufferings is in
the stomach. From a weak stomach
proceed dyspepsia, languor, oppression
in the diaphragm, jaundice, headache,
nausea, bodily weakness, dimness Of
sight, heartburn, costiyeness, dysente-
ry, and a legion of other tormenting
diseases. Indigestion produces thin
blood, and therefore destroys the
strength and vigor Of the system. To
restore the tone Of the stomach, and
enable it to throw off and dismiss for.

How to Examine Wells. THE fol-
lowing simple mode of examining q
well, to ascertain whether it contains
any offensive substances, has been rec
commended as efficient; "Place com.
mon mirror over the well in such po-
sition as to catch and throw the rays
of the sun to the bottom of the well,
which will be Immediately illuminated
in such manner that the smallest
pebbles, ETC., at the bottom can be dis.

reflected in the morning or afternoon

The late action of Gov. Wise, in
converting the Legislature in extra
session, seems to give more general
satisfaction than almost anything else
that he has done since he has been in
office. There is smack of decision
about it which pleases the people huge
ly in these times of weakened politi-
clans and official spectators. We arc
very much inclined to adopt the com.
pIiment of the drunken man after Wise
had concluded his speech on the occa-
sion :--"Wise, with all his faults, Wise
forever" There is III reality, more
nerve and honest sincerity in his COM
position than we believe in any other
politician in the State; and no one has
ever denied him the possession of tai
ents, though some have been at times
tempted to believe him slightly derang.
cd. Hc has certainly been guilty Of
some singular "abberatio rs" from cs-
tablised Virginia usages, and has writ
ten more letters than his reputation al
together required, and has often been
guilty OF cxtravagancies of speech that
brought him into ridicule, and his saw
age denunciation of the doctrines of
the American party caused him to be
we'll hated by that party, but through
all, there has been apparent manli.
ness that hides great multitude of his
offences, and makes him to-day as pop.
ular man with all parties as there is
in Virginia. - JVeUS6my Horald. ...

The Deu omination Bill.

Many of the State papers are de-
nouncing the denomination bill in UNI
measured terms, and rightly-for such
law, as all experience proves, will
never be executed. The Abingdon
Virginian has the following remarks
on the subject: ......
"We insert upon the first page of
this paper, the bill that passed the Sem
ate on the lst day of March, known
as the denomination bill. 1t passed by
vote of % to II, and if the Lower
House is not made of better wiser ma
terials, it will, with all its denominations,
become a law; but like the Small Note
Bill, it will be disregarded and viola
ted every day. We invite particular
attention to it. 1t will be seen that it
provides that notes of less denomina.
ton than $40 shall not DO issued or
circulated after the 31st of December
next, and of not less than $50 after
the 3lst of Dec. 1859. The notes of
Banks out of the State Of less than
$50, shall not be circulated in Virgin
ia after the first of Dec. next. The
penalty of violation is to be a fine of
$500 for the first offence, and $500
for repetition.
This, in brief, is the substance of
the bill. Although tho supposition
was plausible that no act by Legis.
lature three to one Democratic could
be surprising, yet we must confess that
we have moderated the stupidity of
our present lawmakers. We had
thought that there was more wisdom
and discretion even among Democrats.
So accustomed, however, are they to
tinkering and experimenting, that
nothing is too silly or mischicvous for
them to dabble in. If this bill does
not meet with universal dissertation and
contempt, the people deserves to be
ridden, booted and spurrcd."

Late and Interesting from Salt Lake
City-The MormCns Preparing for War.


A Mr.. Wingate arrived at Council
Bluffs on the Cd instant, direct from
Salt Lake City, having come through
in thirty-onc days. He came through
the mountains by a path known only to
the Mormons and mountain mon. 1t
passed through range of perpendicu-
lar rocks for thirteen miles, and is on
ly wide enough to admit a single horse
man. In some places it is said to be
completely rooted in by therocks, form
ing sort of tunnel .. .,..
Mr.. Wingate says that the Mormons
are actively preparing for war, forti-
flying the passes, manufacturing small
cannon, balls, and percussion caps, and
turning out five hundred rcvolvers a
day from their mandatory. They
are also making coarse blasting pow
der, with which to explode mines un-
der the feet of their enemies. A Skin
mish had occurred between q Mormon
picket guard and some of Colonel John
ston's troops, in which the former..h had
two killed and five wounded, and tho
latter four killed. Nearly all of Col.
onel Johnston's animals are dead
Brigham Young breaches on the sub
ject of the war every Sunday, and has
united the people in the cause of re-
sistance. Mr.. Wingate visits the States
on business for the Mormons; but what
that business is, is not known.

"Should all the Southern States pass
the same law as Louisiana has passed.

the State after January next are to be
sold into slavery the North would be,
so flooded with negroes that abolition

A William Tell Exploit,

1t is known that Capt. Travis, of
Louisyille,.is soon to make peculiar
test of his skill as a marksman. The
Louisville Journal has the following:
The pistol which he intends to use
in this trial shot is one made by Nor
gan James, of Utica, New York, who
has no superior in such workmanship.
The oranges to be 27--S inches in diam.
eter; one is placed on the top of his
head, and one on the back of ach hand
the arms being extended. In this DO
sion, atthe distance of ten PAGES, Capt.
Iravisproposes to hit each orange, and
has only three shots to hit three oran-
ges. The feat is to be performed in
this city in June next. .....
The boy who is to support the oran-
ges IS ten years of age, and bright
and. sprightly lad. lie has every con.
idence in the ability of Capt. Travis
to hit each object, and has equally as
much in his own nerve which cannot be
surpassed. The boys feet are placed
two inches apart, and his hands upon
his hips; the Captain shoots through
the angles made by the bending of the
arms and between the feet. This is
done to accustom the boy to the firing,
and if possible, to give him more CON
fidence and make him feel more at ease.
From what We have seen, he posses
ses oil the nerve requisite to the per-
feet accomplishment Of this most ex-
traordinary feat. The little fellow is
native Of Louisville, and his mother
IS afVays present during the practis-
ing. She is entirely satisfied that it
will result in safety to her son.
