BGRHAyE's HOLLAND BITTERs.-Thc
Philadelphia Argus, in speaking Of tho
late exhibition held in that city by the
Franklin Institute, says
"In noticing medicines, we aro always
extremely cautious, unless satisfied of the
merits of the article. Among those eAhib.
tied is the celebrated Holland Bittcrs.--
This medicine has been extensively intro.
duced into every State in the Union, and
into the Canadian Provinces, principally
within the last two years. The exhibition
shows testimonials in every language known
in America, among which we notice ono
from the late Hon. John NJ. Clayton, cf

RANDALL.
Wright's Majority, $40

Col. FOSTER, late editor of the Norfolk
Day Book, a delegate to the Charleston
Convention, and an ardent supporter Of
Mr.. Breckenridge, has announced himself
as an unconditional Union candidate for
Congress in the First District of North
Carolina. He is an eloquent speaker and
of unquestioned courage and energy. He
has made number of appointments FOR
the canvass and declares that the presence
of the United States troops is all that is
necessary to ensure a reaction in favor of
the Government.

a Bumored Cabinet Resigna-
ton.

1t is reported that the Hon, Gideon
Weles, Secretary of the Navy, having be-
come convinced that he is unequal to the
administration of that Department under
present circumstances, has determined to
send in his resignation. This shows that
Mr.. Welles, if not first class statesman,
is at least gifted with common sense, and
an appreciation of what is due to the pub.
lie service in the crisis through which the
country is now passing. 1t would be a
grand thing if other persons in high sta
ton, both in the military and civic service
of the Government, were equally conscious
of their shortcomings, and equally mag
unanimous in making the confession. They
are rare men who see themselves as others
see thcm.--Fhiladelphta Inquirer.

The Election To-Day.

Having used our best efforts to second
the citizens Of the Second Congressional
District in their attempts to break down
partizan nominations for the vacancy now
existing and this effort having failed,
through the non-action of the people them
selves, we felt discharged from any fur
ther duty in this matter. But the canvass
is being carried on by some of the news
paper supporters of one Of the candidates
in manner that demands public notice
and censure. While these journals are pro-
Tossing to be animated by desire to abate
party feeling, they are assailing Col. Bid
die on the single ground that he has been
a Breckenridge Democrat-how truly or
falsely, we have no means of knowing, be.
yond the fact that he is a Democrat.
Such double-faced warfare needs no fur.
ther remark than to point it out for rebuke
But while this is done, it is accompanied
by feature Of much more reprehensible
character. Col. Biddle's patriotism is as
sailed by inuendo in the most ungenerous
way. Now, as this gentleman is in the
field, giving the strongest evidence of his
devotion to his country and the Union, by
periling his life in the cause, these asper'
sions upon his character deserve the sharp
est reprobation that it is in the power oi
the people to give.---Ph,lad'a Inquirer.

Col. WILLIAM HoPKINs.-This vete.

been nominated for the State Legislature
by the Democrats of Washington county.
He was Speaker of the House of Repre-.

War,and distinguished himself by prompt
ness, ability and infexible integrity. He
has since filed number of important pub
lie positions. We hope he may be elected.
The State wants the services of such men,

THE TRIBUNE FOR PEAcE.-The New

that "nowhere on earth would spec.

be hailed with more heartfelt gladness
than by u.s." And it adds that "if the
traitors prove to strong to be subjugatcd,
we are for peace on their terms, rather
than a useless continuance of the war;
This is treason, according to the Republi-
can doctrine, and if it had been uttered by
us we should have been denounced as a
traitor by every Republican paper in the
