The City Councils of Baltimore, at their
meeting on Monday evening, unanimously
adopted the following preamble and resOlu-
tions:
WHEREAS, Clement L. ValIandigham, Of
the State of Ohio, has long been endeavoring
in his public speeches to create dissensions in
our country, poison the public mind, and give
aid and comfort to those who are in rebellion
against the Federal Government; therefore,
RESOLVED, By the Mayor and City Councils
of Baltimore, that they have heard with plea
sure of the arrest and transportation beyond
our lines of Clement L. ValIandgham, and
that in their Judgment the best interest of the
country and the preservation of the Govern
ment fully justified the proceeding.
ResolUed. That whilst they consider all mea-
sures of the Federal Government are subjects
of just and fair criticisms, they do not believe
that at time like this any man should be tol-
Grated who is plainly, publicly and notoriously
endeavoring to create factious opposition to
the Government, thereby increasing the diff
culties Of putting down the rebellion.
ResoiVed, That the Honorable John Lee
Chapman, Mayor of the city of Baltimore, be
and he is hereby requested to transmit q copy
of the foregoing preamble and resolutions tc
the President Of the United States, and also
to Gen. Burnside.

A Soldiers Candidate.
CoLuNBus. Mav 25. 1863.

CoEUNBUs, May %, 1868.
Permit me to suggest another candidate for
Lieutenant Governor.
More than fifty thousand soldiers from this
State will vote the ticket to be made next
month, and as they have no voice in the com
position of the convention, would it not be a
matter ofjustice, As well as of policy, to give
them representative on the ticket.
1t occurs to me, too, that those who gave
up political places to go into the field are as
well entitled to Office a. those who stayed at
homo to look after their political prospects.
Colonel Ed. A Parrott, of the frat Ohio, is
my choice fer Lieutenant Governor.
When the war broke cut, the Col. was rep
reSenting his county montgomery in the
Legislature; he was Speaker pro tenn, and the
nominee of bis party to succeed Speaker Par
sons, who had just then resigned. But tive
days after the Presidents first call for troops
was Published, Col Parrott resigned his seat,
and on the 18th of April, 1861, left here in
command of the FIRST troops sent to the war
from Ohio
He served az Lieut.. Col of the First Ohio,
through the three months term, and immedi-
atsly on being discharged from that, set about
recognizing bis regiment for the war, and
was subsequently made Col. of it.
As man of ability, the Col, is net inferior
to any of the gentlemen named for the second
place on our ticket As patriot, he has
proven himself by the sacrifice of his political
seat, lucrative manufacturing business, and
by service in the field of over two years.

SWARMING OF THE MEDICAL HIvEg.-Con-
ISOLATION for the sick.-Considering the enor-
nous number of young NJ. DIS that our med
ical colleges turn out every year, we Ger tainly
ought (if there be any virtue in regular phys
icking") to be much healthier people than
we are. But the bills of mortality do not
shorten as the list of doctors lengthens

none oft ?' No, that will not do Nature,
when attacked by disease, needs an ally to sus.
tain her An Ally, remember; not depicting
agent, that helps the disease and exhausts her
energies. We verify believe that most Of the
drugs administered in acute diseases have this
effect. Such, however, is not the operation of
one medicine now generally used in this coun-
try for complaints of the stomach, liver, and
bowels. We mean HoLLowAY's PILLS. OF
course our readers are aware that both the
Ointment and Pills which bear the name of
that distinguished physician and phiauthropist
are in the highest possible repute all over the
world but we have only bad an opportunity
to witness the effects of the Pills. II gives us
pleasure to testify to their efficacy. In dys-
pepsa and liver complaints they unquestion-
ably work the most marvellous cares Nay,
we will even 90 so far AS to say that, with this
remedy within their reach, no man or woman
need ever be long troubled wits dyspepsia.-
The pills remove the distress at the stomach,
and restore the strength and appetite with
rapidity that is really astonishing. The cura-
tive action seems to be the same in all cases,
without reference to age, constitution, or sex.
Such at least, is the conclusion to which our
experience and observation point.-M Y. "AG

Warning to pasertsra.

| believe that many soldiers of our army are
under the impression that ifthey should desert
ard remain in coRcealment at home or else
where Till the expiration of their term of en-
Hstment, they will then be free. l desire
therefore, to correct that impression, and show
them that they are liable, at any time hereaf-
ter, even after the war is over, to be arrested
and be compelled to serve out the time oil
their enlistment, and forfeit their pay during
their absence. For this purpose l will call
your attention to an extract from an act oi
Congress, found in the Army Regulations,
page SIT, paragraph l:
"If any non-commissioned officer, musician
or. private shall desert from the service of the
q. S he shall in addition to the penalties
mentioned 10 the rules and articles of war
be liable to serve for, and during such peri
cd as shall, with the time he may have served
previous to his desertion, amount to the full
term Of his enlistment, and such soldier shall
and may be tried by a court-martial and pun
ished, although the term of his enlistment may
have elapsed previous to his being apprehe Il
ded or tried
1t has also been decided by the Courts OF
Pa, Judge w. J. Woodward presiding, that
.'deserters OF those who resist the arrest OF a
deserter, do so at the peril of their lives. The
deserter is in the eye of the law a felo1, and is
to be treated accordingly" 1 sincerely hope
these statements will be read and carefully
pondered by all our soldiers.

There has been quite as much uncertainty
as to the result of the French invasion of
Mexico, as there has at any time been in regard
to our own military operations. We have had
for the last two months alternate reports of
Mexican and French triumphs, each succeed
ing account contradicting that which preceded
it. Last week it was positively asserted that
the French forces had been compelled to aban-
don the siege of Puebla. which had for some
time been in progress. and had fallen back to
a point some eight miles distant to wait the
arrival of reinforcements, and the rainy season
having set in, offensive operations could not be
again resumed till fall. 1t is now proclaimed
with equal positiveness that the city has been
taken by the French, the entire Mexican army
captured, and the victorious invaders are
marching on the Capital. If this last account
proves correct, the Mexicans will be compelled
to acceds to the demands OF their European

Wool Market
NEW YORK AND BOSTON.

NEW YORK AND BOSTON.
The New York Times of Wednesday saws:
Wool has been more active holders having made
some concessions to buyers. The principal in-
quiry has been for domestic fleece. The weeks
sales have been 100000 lbs domestic fleece at
65(98Oc; 375,O00 TBS Valparaiso, on private
terms l25 bales Cape at 38a4Oc, and 10000
lbs Danskoi at 48c per ID. The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin of this morning says: "There
is some inquiry on the part of manufacturers
whose present or prospective exigencies lead
them to test the market, and not a few are
busily engaged in picking up small outside
lots, even few pounds in quantity, to exc ont
their stocks till July. They will not operate
largely so long as lower. rates are probable, or
even possible but should matters shortly take
such turn as to cause a sudden rise In prices,
which is not impossible, there would undoubt-
edly ensue an immense rush on the OF purch-
asers.
The Western markets are temporarily firm
er, but choice feeces are rather inactive at
former prices. The GALES of domestic for the
week have been very insignif cant, at a range
of 65aSOc for fleece, and 7Oa85c for pulled,
the outside figure fJr standard super and ex-
ira. Foreign woods are comparatively firm
as they cannot be replaced at auction rates, as
exchange now rules. The transactions, how
ever, are very limited, and prices mosly nomi-
nal"
PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-The market con-
tinues almost at stand still, and prices near
ly nominal, at 7Oa77c for common to fine
fleece, at which rates some small sales are re-
ported.
In our home markets there is really nothing
doing. The small transactions that have talk
en- place, have been at the rate of 5Oa55 per
mound.
