The President and the Generals.
We quote the following statements from
the Washington correspondence of the Phila-
de phia Inquirer for what they are worth:
Considerable comment has been made
upon the fact that number of Generals Of
high rank are not in commands, and the
President has been severely censured for not
giving them important positions.
General Sigel was relieved, at his own ur-
gent request, and not until he had repeated
it over and over again.
General Fremont declined to serve unless
in such position as was, at the time he left
the service, not considered polite to give
him.
Gen. Butler was relieved by Gen. Banks
out-ranking him, while temporarily at New
Orleans, it not being the intention of the
President to have him leave the Department.
But Butler could not remain as subordinate.
'Show me where to put either of them to-
day." remarked the President, not long since,
o distinguished Senator. 'Shall super
sede Rosecrans? or Grant ? or Banks? or
Hunter? or Hooker? and send them into
idleness, to make room for those now idle ?"
AS for Mcclellan, 10 one who knows the
President, supposes that he will be called on
again to fill any position, but he will proba-
Div be mustered out of the service before long,
and his commission as Major General in the
regular army be given to Gen. Grant, the
fighting General, Of whom the President re-
marked last Sunday night:
II have had stronger influence brought
against Grant, praying for his removal. since
the battle of Pittsburg Landing, than for any
other object, coming, too, from good men
and now look at his campaign since May LIST.
Where is anything in the Old World that
equals it? It stamps him as the greatest
General of the agei if not of the world! J"

~The advices in reference to the rebel
movements on the Rappahannock are still
speculative and conflicting. One account
saws they arc moving southwark, and another
represents them concentrating at Culpepper,
with the design of making a grand raid north
ward. None of these reports are worthy of
credence.

CHICAGO, June 8.
The Canal Convention assembled at nine
o'clcck-Rust in the Chair. Ruggles from
the committee on resolutions, submitted &
resolution which appealed to Congress to take
action In regard 10 the ship canal around ths
Falls of Niagara Several speeches were made
ON the resolution. Delegates from Iowa sub
mitted an amendment directing the attention
of Congress to the improvement of the Des
moines rapids.
Arnold of Illinois presented series of res
olutions setting forth the advantages Of ship
canals in Illinois, and directing the attention
of Congress to the importance of the work
Adjourned till 8 o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION
Ruggles said that it would be for the well
the Mississippi river to the Atlantic. With
canals connecting the lakes would be oil
great military convenience Such works will
be not only beneficial but are required by
every principle of sound political economy.
That such national highways should as far as
practical, be free without tolls or restrictions,
and we should deprecate placing this great
thoroughfare in the hands of any corporation
or State. The work should be accomplished
by national credit, and as soon as the cost was
reimbursed to the national treasury, it should
be as free as the lakes to the commerce Of the
world.

WASHINGTON, June 9.
An official dispatch received from Vicks-
burg up to the Goth of May indicate no
change in the affairs there, but the prospects
of Grant are still encouraging.
The French transport LIE Finis Terre from
Vera Cruz on the 10Th, arrived this afternoon.
Her Captain doubts the capture of Puebla, as
dates from Puebla of the 10th, received at

then holding half of Puebla, and were so
strongly fortified that it would take long
time to capture it.

WINE I! =!

From the earliest ages wine has been known and
esteemed one of the choicest productions of the
earth. 1t is rendered proyerbial in Scripture. In
the present age good wine is not only valued as a
luxury, but there several kinds which are held
in high estimation by the medical profession, and
form a valuable commodity in every good dispen-
sary. In Europe there upwards Of fifty differ
ent kinds of wine, obtained from many different
kinds of grapes. But it has remained for modern
science and skill to produce a luxurious Ond de-
lightful wine from medical plants and roots. The
object has been fully accomplished in an article
called DR.. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From a
formula of roots, plants etc.. of the highest medi-
cal order, is here J reduced pure wine, equal, if
not superior. in flavor to any imported, at the same
time retaining all the virtues of one of the best
medical formulas ever known,
No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on
account of disagreeable taste, and take it
without being convinced of its great value as a
medical agent. From our own experience we can
vouch for the excellence of this wine; and we trust
that every one, whose health is in the least i'm
paired, will read DR.. Halsey's advertisement,
which will be found in columns to-day, and
avail themselves of the remedy.

Ayers Sarsaparilla

is compounded from the most effectlal anti
doteS that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure Of the
disorders it entails. That il is far superior TO
any other remedy yet devised. is known by all
who have given il trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors. Erup-
tons. Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry.
sipelas Rose Or ST. Anthony's Fire. Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu.
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
SWeliings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
Of the blood. Minute reports OF individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distributions wherein NAV be
learned the directions for its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures whith it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases are purpoSely taken from all Sec
tons of the country, in order that every reader
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies. and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy cOnsti,u-
tions. Hence it tends tn shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considera-
tions has led Us TO spend years in perfecting
remedy which is adequate TO its cure. This
We now offer to the public under the name of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is com.
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of SarS'tariHG in alternative power. Bv
i;s aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and tester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-
tons, and thus. expels the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of Sarmpcrlla, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure Of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is a very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any other which has
ever been available to them
