ABSTRACT OF SECRETARY CAMERoN's REPORT. The following statement presents the entire estimated strength of the army, both volunteers and regulars:
Litchfield enquirer., 1861-12-12
4 NEW MILITARY BOARD.
COMMERCIAL TREATIES

Some treaties, designed chiefly for the inter, importance, have been negotiated, and will be submitted to the Senate for their consideration. Although we have failed to induce some of the commercial powers to adopt desirable meiora- tion of the rigor of maritime war, we have re- moved all Instructions from the way of this hu- mane reform except such as are merely of tenn porary aud accidental occurrence.
Litchfield enquirer., 1861-12-12

During the long and brilliant judicial career of Judge Mclean his circuit grew into an empire altogether too large for 'any one judge to give the courts therein more than nominal atten- dance, rising in population from one million four hundred and seventy thousand and eighteen in 1889, to six million one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and five in 1860. Besi- des this, the country generally has outgrown our judicial system.
 If uniformity was at all intended, the system requires that all the states shall be accommoda- ted with Circuit Courts attended by Supreme judges, while in fact Wisconsin, Minnesota Iowa, Kansas, Florida, Texas, California, and Oregon nave never had any such courts
 Nor can this be remedied without change of the system, because the adding of judges to the supreme Court enough for the accommodation of all parts of the country with Circuit Courts, would be one that will increase as new states come into the Union.
 Circuit courts are useful or they are not useful. Ii useful no state should be denied them. If not useful no state should have them. Let them be provided for all or abolished as to all.
 Three notifications occur to me, either of which think would be an improvement upup

BY the use Of these Pills the periodic attacks OF
Nervous or Sick Headache nay be prevented and u
taken at the commencement Of an attack immediate
relief from pam aud sickness will be obtained.
They seldom fail in removing the Nausea and Head
ache to which females are SO subject,
They act gently upon the Understanding Cos
ticeness.
For Literary Men, Students, Delicate Females. and
all persons Of sedentary habis, they are valuable as .
Laxative, improving the appetite, giving tone and utOor
to the digestive organs, and restoring the natural
elasticity and strength Of the whole system.
The CEPHALIC PILLS are the result Of long inves-
tigation aad carefully conducted ~x experiments, having
been in use many years, during which time they have
suffering from Headache, whether originating in the
nervous system or from . deranged state of the
stomach.
