A GREAT MEDICINE FOR FEMALES Hun
dreds of stimulants have been invented
and sold, purporting to be specific in the
various diseases and arrangements TO
which the delicate form of woman render
her subject. The result of all these slim
ulants has been to impart 'aomentary activ-
ity to the nervous system, aud false vigor to
the muscles but this relief has been sue
cceded by depression and prOstrntion
greater than before; and the repeated at
| tempts of invalids to build themselves up
by the false remedies, have finally ended in
destroying what little vital organization
was left. But in using ''B@rhares IDOL
land BUters" you will find no such disas-
trous results. 1t is purely vegetable
compound, prepared on strictly scientific
principles, after the manner of the cele-
bratcd Holland Professor, BGrhave. I'm
der its influence cueyy nerve and muscle
receives new strength and vigor, appetite
and sleep return, and, finally, perfect
health. See advertisement in another col

Gen. Rosecrans, address.

We publish this morning the address of
Gen. Rosecraus to the people of Western
Virginia. This address, singular enough,
appeared in the Cincinnati papers of FRI
day last, and was not, so far as we know,
furnished to any of the papers of Western
Virginia, although addressed to their peo-
pie. This looks as if General Rosecrans
was issuing his bulletins more for bun
combe than for actual service. We do not
want to fault-fnd the General in the face
of all the good he is doing for Western
Virginia, but if he is a business m.n and
"means business" lie will appreciate the
suggestion of putting Western Virginia pa
pers at least on par with foreign papers,
in the matter OF addresses to Western Vir-
ginia people.

How the ThIng is Managed.

We presume the following is true, mas
much as we find it in the N. Y. Journal of
Commerce. sympathizer with secession:
All the letters from New Orleans to the
North are opened ut Grand Junction. by
order of Gen. Polk, commanding at Mem
phis; and letters from all other points TO
the same destination are opened by the
Committee of Vigilance at Nashville. Not
only no intelligence of military operations
in the South, but no money or drafts are
allowed to pass the border, Northward.-
All remitances are taken out and returned
returned to the senders, except in some
cases where they are confscAted under
some law or military regulation. The
Northern Express Company, which carries
letters to Louisville, conscious that such Il
distinction ought not to exist between
the treatment of letters going South and
coming North, have called the attention of
the Federal Government to the fact, and
suggested that all letters carried by them
be opened at Louisville, but the Govern
ment has not needed the hint.
