The world does move. Secretary Cam
eron's letter of Instructions to Gen. T.
w. Sherman, commander of the great ma
val expedition tn the Southern coast, pub
hshed In the Tribune Of yesterday, is
great step in advance of the policy here
tofore pursued by the administration 1t
says:
"You will avail yourselves Of the ser
vice or any persons, whether or not fugi-
tiyes from labor, who may offer themselves
TO the National Government, and employ
them in such services as they may be suit
ed for, either as ordinary employees, or,
II special circumstances seem to require it,
an any other capacity ,cfh such organi@a-
tion IN squads, companies Or ottermise, as
you may deem teaetcial 10 the serpice.-
This, however, is not to be general arm
ing Of them for military service. Low
masters are to be assured that Congress
will provide just compensation for the loss
of service OF persons SO employed"
This language, though eschewing the
words freedom or emancipation, can only
mean that Gen. Sherman shall take all the
negroes he may find in South Carolina or
wherever he may land. and either incor-
porate them into his army or employ them

EXHAUSTION OF SUPPLIES.


The Richmond Examiner says:
In the rapid exhaustion of all sorts of
supplies in the South, we must look for an
alternative Of relief, either in the raising
of the blockade, or in the prompt and en-
terprising aid of Southern capital in the
production and manufacture Of various
articles of prime necessity. We have
plenty of corn and -four, rice and tobacco
and cotton, but very little Of anything else.
As winter approaches, many of our sup
plies are being fast exhausted. Our mar
kets are nearly bear of candles, cotton,
starch, soap, oil, bacon, refined sugars,
salt, iron, shoes, clothing and other nee
essary supplies. The demand for bacon,
an article Of prime necessity, is largely in
excess of the supply, with exceedingly
small stocks in the hands of dealers.

Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, COM
bined with Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one Of our venera-
BILE and eminent physicians during a
practice Of thirty years, in the latter
part of which he used those Bitter
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment Of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood.
They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequalled as a
purifier Of the blood. By continuing
the use of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for Il
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs Of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence Of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment Of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they viii gradually re-
move every trace of eruption or in
tlammation from the face or body rs
they progress in the publication OF tho
blood.
Viewing them simply as a bever-
age, they equal in richness and deli
cacy Of favor the fuer grades of
choice Champagne Wines-the bit
ter principle being only perccptiblc
when felt in the good work OF purify
ing and invig"rating.
