what Hatteras has Done for us.

The London Timer thinks the capture of
the HauerAs forts a matter of no such
great importance Doubtless the Charles
ton Mercury agrees with the TTnIes. When
Charleston is taken, when Pensacola is
opened u the commerce of the world,
when the Mississippi Sound, which con-
meets 81 ,bile with New Orleans, is com
pietely in our possession. and the passes
of the Mississippi arc held by our troops,
perhaps We shall think less of HatterAs.
But even then we shall remember that
since tile capture of Port HttterAs and Fort
Clark We have not heard of I single new
privateer; We have not heard OF one vessel
running the blockade; of one American
ship captured by pirstesi or OF IA arrival
of any kid in tue Southern waters. But
we have heard the shnddcr of alarm which
ran like wildfre through the whole
Southern country; we have heard of the
isdisgraeeful scene in tho North Carolina
Legislature" rs the Richmond papers
called it-whirI was nothing less than a
spontaneous shout for the Union, by
part of the Legislature, when they re-
ceived news of the rebel defeat aud the
surrender Of the forts 10 the Stars and
Stripes. So much Hatteras has done for
rs, at any rate; and. doubtless, these cir
cumzt4nees give 70 those who have en-
joyed our losses a very contemplate oPin-
ion of our gains.-N. Y. Post.

IT IS COMMON OBSERVATION that there
are more sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can be found among any
other civilized nation. The reason is OBJ
vious. We take too little exercise, and
forget the wants OF the body in the absorb
ing pursuits of business. In all such
cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required is just such.
tonic anl invigor4tor as DR.. j. Hostetter
has given to the world, in his CELEBRATED
"BITTERs.p The weak and nervous deni-
zen of the counting house, the exhausted
toiler upon the shOp-board, and the pros
trated student of the midnight lamp, have
found a wonderful regcnerator in the
"Bitters, and prefer it TO more preten,ious,
but less efficacious medicines. But it
should not be forgotten that the agent
which is so magical in its influence upon
frame which is merely debilitated, is

Gov. CGARx Of North Carolina is evil
IDENTITY military genius. The reason
whicl, he assigns for the success OF the
federal troops at Hatteras is so plain and
satisfaetoryN rs TO come within the view of
the simplest man. He says that the forts
would not have surrendered, but tho fed
eral forces had the biggest guns and the
most Of them. Another great commander,
perhaps inferior TO Gov. Clark, employed
a similar expression in laying down fact
OF general application, when he said that
he had noticed that Providence was gener-
ally on the side of the strongest battsry.--
We hope this great truth, thus donbiy en-
forced, will not be lost on our military au.
thoritiesi bat that they will always take
care to have at the point of conflict the
biggest guns and the most Of them, aud the
most men to handle them. This they
ought always to be able to do il tse peo-
Pie of tho loyal States, who are superior
in numbers and in wealth, and inferior III
