~ DIR. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
should be in the possession of everybody in the
mining region. As a preventative Of the various
dangerous diseases to which the gold seeker is la
bic, it has no superior. While it is quite palatable
as beverage It's speedy and powerful in its effect
upon the system. In all cases of DiarrhWa, Dysen-
terry, and the prevailing feyers consequent upon
exposure, the Btters viii be found invaluable as
corrective. No man should enter upon the exposed
camp life of a miner without being provided with
Hostetter's preventive of stomach disease, nor
should any of those who are engaged in the occupa-
ton, fail to have recourse to the Bitters. Sold by
all Druggists and dealers everywhere.

DIDN'T TAKE lIM-On the 9th inst. a
Lieutenant with squad of twelve men visited
Jerseyyille for the purpose of arresting the
editor Of the Jerseyvlle Union, by order of the
Post Commandant at Alton. On entering the
editors sanctum, the Lieutenant said Sir,
you are my prisoner"
Editor" Have you warrant for my ar
rest. Lieutenant -
but | am directed by Col. Hildebrand, who
has orders from Gen. Curtis, to arrest you, and
must do it."
Edtor-"If If you have a warrant from even
justice, sir, | will quietly submit, but if, as
you say You have no papers, will resist this
illegal arrest to the last p
About this time the friends of the editor
entered the lists and informed Lieut. Jones
that NO arrests could be made in that place,
" without papers" As the news spread, the
people became excited, and the Union says:
Every road and lane resounded with the
tramp OF the yeomanry of jersey, from the old
veteran of eighty years to the lad of dozen
summers They came from every hamlet :;
every hill and dale was alive with preparations.
aud by scores and hundreds they manifested
the strongest determination to maintain the
authority OF the Constitution, which declares
that no person shall be arrested without due
process of law. One old man emphaticaly
declared that he had lived for seventy years in
the enjoyment of free speech, and be would
sooner die than lose it ~
The Lieutenant and his squad returned to
Alton without their victim. The time for
Illegal arrests in Illinois has gone by. The
people submitted for a long time, for the sake
of avoiding strife in the North, but the feeling
is becoming strong and general that it is not
patriotism, but rather cowardice to longer ac-
quiesce in such usurpation.

The receipt Of the news from the battlefield
at Murfreesboro is most cheering. as the Fed
eral success appears complete. Add to the
fogging that Rosecrans has given Bragg, the
fact that the Federal forces in Kentucky have
annihiated those rebel raiders, Forest and
Morgan, and it is pretty safe to calculate that
Kentucky and Tennessee are redeemed. The
fighting at Murtreesboro has been progressing
for several days, the rebels receiving reinforce
ments from the Richmond army. 1t was no
go, however, and on the night of the 4th, the
rebels skedadded in great disorder. So much
for Kentucky aud Tennessee.
