"a CAPTURING CANNON The other
day about dozen soldiers, stationed at
FairmOat, Va, received information that a
seeessiOnist named Henry Morgan, who
lives about three miles from that place,
had cannon in his possession, and went
down to take it. They reached the house
in the middle of the highland made known
their Grand. The woman who answered
the summons Of the soldiers, said the men
folks were absent and she didn't know
anything about the cannon. The captain
replied that was very unfortunate, for if
the cannon couldn't be found the house
might accidentally catch ere. This init
nation, though given ont only in a iocose
manner, had the desired effect. The can-
non was soon found and taken down to
Fairmont.

EVEN THOSE who are in the enjoyment of
perfect health frequently have need to have
recourse to tonics as preventives of dis
ease. We are never too well armed against
the assaults of "tbe ills that flesh is heir
to-" Such an invigorator they may find
in HosTHTTER's BiTTERs-l medicine that
cannot be taken regularly without giving.
vitality and elasticity to the system. At
this season, particularly, tue strongest
man is not proof against the malaria in
certain sections of the country. In all
cases of fever and agae, the BIrTERs is
more potent than any amount of quiz
nine, while the most dangerous cases of
bilious fever yield to its wonderful prop
critics. Those who have tried the medicine
will never use another, for any of the all
ments which the HosTErTER BITTBRs pro-
fesses to subdue. To those who have not
made the experiment, we cordially recon-
need an early application to the Bitters,
whenever they are stricken by disease of
the digestive organs.

spondence with or giving Intelligence to
the enemy, either directly or Indirectly. is
made punishable by death, or such other
punishment as shall be ordered. by SEN
tence of a court martial.
Public safety requires the strict enforce-
ment of this article. 1t is therefore or
dered that all correspondence aud commit
nication, verbally or by writing, printing
or telegraphiug, respecting the. operations
of the army or military movements on land
or water, or respecting the troops, camps,
arsenals, entertainments, or military atfuirs
within the several military, districts, by

encouraged by the exaggerated reports of
the battle near Springfield, are congregAtl

ing counties, committing all kinds of out
RIGGS upon Union men and their property.
II they are allowed TO overruu Lafayette,
Ray and other such counties inthis part of
the State, as they are now doing, they will
steal enough from Union men to snbsist
their army for months. In view of this
condition of things assistance has been
asked of Gen. Fremont.
The Home Guards still occupy forti6ea-
tons here and are well supplied with arms
and provisions. They can probably hold
the place, but reinforcements are needed
to operate against parties ravagiug the
country. Prominent Union men are daily
threatened with death and Gov, King, of.
Ray county, has been frequently warned
but his devotion to the Union is mistaken.
He and his sons are ready to shoulder their
muskets.
