1T Is A COMMON OBSERVATION that there are
more sufferers from debility among Americans than
can be found among any other civilized nation The
reason IS obvious. We take too little exercise, aud
forget the wants OF the body in the absorbing pur
suits of business. In all such cases. ordinary medi-
cnes do little good What required just such
tonic and lnvigorator Dr. j. Hostetter has given
to the world, in his CELEBRATED sBITTERS.'-
The weak and denizen OF the counting
the exhausted toler upon the shop board, and the
Frustrated student of the midnight lamp, have found
wonderful Regeneration in the ''Bitters, and prefer
it to pretentious but less eicacious medicines.
But should be forgotten that the agent which is
so magical in its influence upon frame which is
merely debiiitated is equally powerful IN assisting
nature to expei the most terrible forms of disease.

The Hon. John J. Mllson, in a speech deliv
cred to the citizens of Portsmouth, Virginia, on
Thursday last, announced himselfin favor of pre-
serving the American Union in the event Of
Lncoln's election 10 constitutional way, and
expressed the opinion that the Republican party
was organized upon false pretences; that it was
impotent to contend against the 'united Democ-
racy - that The cause of slavery was gaining as
we'll in the North as in the South, and that, nn-
der the decision of the Supreme Court in the
bred Scott case, the power of the Republicans
as an anti-slavery party was gone, and its efforts
to prevent the expansion of slavery in the com
mon Territories of the Union, paralyzed. because
the object for which that party was avowedly
organized was pronounced unconstitutional by
the supreme judicial tribunal of the country
He deplored the divided condition of the Ma
tional Democratic party at q time when, by con-
cert of action between Northern and Southern
Democrats, it was in their power to iDtiict
Waterloo defeat upon the anti slavery forces.

THE FLOYD GuN.-This tremendous piece OF
ordnance, named after the present Secretary OF
War, and by far the largest ever cast in ms or
any other country, is designed for use In our
coast defences, as an offset to the late important
improvements in the construction OF vessels OF
war. 1t is intended to cripple, certainly and
hopelessly, at single shot, any hostile ship or
steamer, no matter how large or strongly built
that may venture within mile of its enormous
muzzle The qua now mounted at Old Point
Comfort was cast near Pltsburg. 1t weighs,
independently of the carriage 5000 pounds;
aud its cost was something over $4,000. The
bore is sixteen inches III diameter aud fifteen feet
in depth. In its model this gun resembles the
Colombian" Or "Dahlgren" gun, the weight of
metal predomipaling largely round the breech,
which has to sustain the first shock OF the ex-
plosion, and which is about four and halt feet
in diameter. The gun is worked by six men,
and the time consumed in loading and firing is
just one minute and half. 1t will throw either
shot or shell, and these are spherical in form
and of appalling magni.ude---the solid shot
weighing each 450 pounds.
