Wo0lsey Bmtis, Esq,
DEAR SIR The compensation to AS
SCISSORS for their services in making enroll
ment of persons liable to perform military
dnty, is by law fixed at the same rate as
paid for making he annual assessment Of
perty. 1t would seem proper, therefore,
as the two services cannot be divided,
that each should be charged its share of
expenses, in the proportion of the amount
of assessment to tie whole expense in
cured. Very respectfully.
E. NJ. BIDDLE, Adj. Gen.
To Foolsey Burtis:
DEAR SIR: | am directed BY the Ad-
jutant General to forward to you the ac-
companying document as your guide in
paying the Commissioners, Clerks and
Assessors for making the military tax
rolls, &c. For instance if the valuation
of the real and personal property in Har-
rison township is Forty Thousand Dollars
and the Assessors bill for making said
assessment is So and the military tax is
$50, the pay of assessors for military tax
must be at the same per cent. as Sl2 for
taking the assessment upon real and per-
sonal estate. All persons having bills
against the Brigade must make their bills
at the above rate. The County Commis-
sloners and Clerk must be paid at the
same rate. All monies otherwise paid
will be charged to you as Treasurer of the
county. 1t is fact that the Assessors
are paid by the county tor every day that
they are employed in the entire assessment.
The Commissioners receive their 81 per
day for every day they are employed in
their office. The Clerk is hiled by the
year. No money will be paid for military
parade and drill until the end of the war
1t is expected that these instructions will
be strictly adhered to.

thousands Of persons suffer all sorts Of annoyance
from Catarrh. Most people know what its incon-

1t can be cured 1t is simply chronic irritation,
and often enlargement of follioles and consequent
thiekening Of the mucous membrane, lining the
nasal cavities frontal sinuses, and sometimes ex-
tending into the throat and lungs. From this re-

structed nose, or profuse flow Of mucus, loss of
SMELL nasal voice, and often impaired hearing and
taste.
Tho old-school remedies have never been able
to do any thing for it. Nasal injections and in
hala'ions are as painful and expensive as they gen.
orally are worthless. Yet HUNPHREY's CArARRH

THE CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE

THE CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE
are often rendered wretched by ailments which
are trifing in themselves and easily cured if taken
in time. Affections of the liver, stomach and
other organs concerned in digestion, are the most
frequent. They naturally make the sufferer ner-
vous irritable and complaining, and relatives and
friends forced to bear the brunt of their i'll
humor The use Of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters will prove efficient remedy for this evil
1t will not only strengthen the whole physical or
ganization, but entirely cure the NEST obstinate
cases of Indigestion, Diarrhna, Dysentery, and
Liver Complaint. The first physicians in the
country are loud in their praise of this prepare
lions. Another recommendation of the Bitters is
that it is palatabe to the taste that it may be
used even as beverage.

4 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESI.
DENT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.
The Speaker laid before the House Mes
cage from the President, endorsing the peace
resolutions Of the Legislature of Virginia,
and hailing the proposition with grateful
satisfaction, as agreeing to abstain, pending
the.proceedings contemplated by the action of
the General Assembly, from any and all
acts calculated to produce collision between
the States and the Government of the
United States. He says he has no
power for such an agreement. Defense,
not aggression, has been the policy Of the
Administration from the beginning. He re-
commends Congress to abstain from passing
any law, the enforcement of which is calcu-
lated to excite hostility. He trusts that the
mediation of Virginia may be the means,
under Providence, of accomplishing the ends
Of peace. The President does not yet des-
pair Of the Republic.
The consideration of the Message was
postponed till tomorrow.
