Practical Carriage Makers,

GAINESVILLE, TENNESSEE
IIo Southern men, who raise your voice,
And loudly shout for Southern rights,
Yet send your money north, from choice
And thereby strengthen northern might.
Hard times We cry? No money herei
And why? the north has drained your Golfers,
And ''Wide Awakes' DER lager beer,
Rejoice in being your scoffers.
The cure for your complaining tones,
Is ready at yonr open doors,
You've but to keep your cash at nome,
And Northern b,tgqies buy no more.
And at your Annual County Fairs,
Your premiums offer for the best
OF your oscn manufactured wares
And Judges praticaL should test.
And when a swell, you wish TO take,
Beside handsome Southern belle,
Your buggies buy of CldrkSvile make
Bringhurst h Son keep them to sell.
But should we not quite suit your taste,
Your orders leave, they can be met
In time to suit mod rate haste
BY those who, orders meier forget.

IT COMMON on.ERvArrox that there are more

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 obvious. We take too little exercise and
forget the wants OF the body in the absorbing pur-
suits of business: In all such cases, Ordiuary med
cines can do little good. What is required is just
such tonic and Invgorator as DR. J. Hostetter has
given to the world, in his celebrated Bitters. The
weak and nervous denizen of the count ne house,
the exhausted tot or upon the shop board, and the
prostrated student of the mdng hi lamp, have found
wonderful regenerator in the Bittsrs, and prefer
it to more pretentious, but less effcacious medi
cines BUTT should not be forgotten that the emit
which is so magical in ITS influence upon frame
which is merely debIlltated Is equally powerful in
assisting nature to pei the mOst terrible forms OF
disease. Who would not give it a trial

In the Third Ward of this city, visited the Chief
Executive on yesterday for the purpose Of oh
tanning arms from the U s. Government, and
that the President responded that 1t was his in
tention to grant arms to all volunteer companies
regularly organized. We believe that the report
(which has no foundation) has grown out Of the
fact that the Lieutenants of the company alluded
to, waited on Gen. Scott the day before vester-
day for the purpose Of rendering their roll and
constitution to the Department and asking for
time, and could not them, "nor could he tell''

ATTEMPT TO FIRE CHURcH.-Aboutd aybreak
this morning. gentleman passing along Eighth
street, (lsland in the vicinity Of Grace Church
Episcopal, y discovered that an attempt had been
made to set fire to that building by means Of
sponge saturated with turpentine, placed at the
doorway entering the southeast corner of the
church. The determined purpose Of the attempt
may be judged from the fact that a sufficient
quantity Of turpentine had been introduced under
the door to extend in a stream for some feet along
the floor and under the zinc beneath the stove
By prompt action the fire was subdued, but had
II been discovered twenty minutes later, the build
ing must have been reduced to ashes. On exam
lining the vicinity, the track Of very fine boot
was discovered in the snow thereabouts and it Is
to be hoped that the scoundrel may be detected
by this clue. This is the second malicious attempt
made to injure this building within a few days
