| and perfected by one of our venera-
BILE and eminent physicians during a
practice Of thirty years, in the latter
part Of which he used those Bitter
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood.
They stimulate and regulate the
functions Of digestion; impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequalled as
purifier Of the blood. BY continuing
the use Of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for a
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will gradually re-
move every trace of eruption or in
hammation from the face or body as
they progress in the puritication Of the
blood.
| Viewing them simply as bever-
age, they equal in richness and deli
cacy of flavor the finer grades of
choice Champagne Wines-the bit
ter principle being only perceptible
: when felt in the good work Of purify
, ing and invigorating.
For the use of old and young of
both sexes they are admirably adap-
ted, being grateful to the taste; Of an
eSlisltely delicate havor-imparting

feet, equalled only by its purity and
richness.

issued from the Government headquarters
last night. Several days ago, the company off.

Tire Policy q the Adminiutration

WAsHiNGroN, April 9 1T is persisteDtl
stated In Administration quarters that the re-

and nothing is intended not strictly justified b,
the laws, which IL is the duty of the Presiden
to enforce to the extent Of his ability. Ifresist
lance is made, and bloodshed follows, the re-
sponsibility mustfall on those who provoke hos
tilities. The assurance of the inaugural is re
peated, that the Administration will not be tht
aggressor.
Various theories or reason, are given in news
papers for the present military demonstrations,
among which is one that they were stimulated
by the result of certain late elections; but this

certain the extent Of the effects bequeathed to
the President by the late Administration.
II was deemed essential to keep secret the
objects of the military movements, especially
the sailing Of vessels under sealed orders, as
under the late Administration there were per-
sons who clandestinely communicated Its pur-
poses to the secessionists, and, as frequently
occurred, before the orders were reduced to Of.
fetal form; and according to remark Of an Ex.
Secretary, the Administration thus always found
itself embarrassed at the threshold.
The present Administration has limited such
knowledge to members Of the Cabinet and per-
haps several trusty officers, and precautionary
measures were taken 30 as to render next to i'm
possible the acquiring Of forbidden information.
The Administration, while constantly declaring

to strict accountability by the people, and how
ever speculative may be the publications respect.
ing Its movements, 1t Is under no obligation to
announce in advance its plans and purposes. In
other words, that the Administration should be
Judged by Its acts.
That Pickens has been or will be re inforc-

will do all In its power to either relieve Ander-
son or secure his evacuation of Sumter with
out dishonor, or committing the Government to
