IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-Judge Dillo,

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-Judge Dillon,
ia case recently tried at Davenport,
has decided that a township, and not a
county, is responsible for the condition oil
the roads and that all liability for dam
ages resulting from bad roads falls on
the township through which the road
passes. But not so with regard to bridg-
es. The law makes il the duty of the
county Supervisors TO keep bridges in
re pair, and, therefore, the county and
not the township is responsible for dam
ages resulting on account of defective
bridges.

Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and
restorativein its nature enters into the compo-
sition of Hostetter's Stomach Btters. This
popular preparation contains no mineral of any
kind, no deadly botanical element no fiery ex-
cita Mt but it is n combination Of the extracts
of rare balsamic herbs and plants with the pur-
est and mildest of all diffusive stimulants.
1t is well to be forearfned against disease,
land, so far as the human system can be pro-
teeted by human means against malades en-
gendered by an unwhoesome atmos phere, i'm
pure water and other external causes, Hostel
ter's Bitters may be relied on as safeguard.
In districts infested with Fever and Ague,
it has been found inialliblc rs preventive and
irresistible as remedy and thousands who re-
sort to it under apprehension of an attack, es-
cape the scourge; and thousands who neglect
TO avail themselves of its protective qualities
in advance, nre cured by very brief course of
this morvelous medicine. Fever and Ague pa
tents, after being piled with quinne for
months in vain, until fairly saturated with that
dangerous akaoid. are not unfreq uently restor-
ed to health within few days by the use of
Hostetter's Btters.
| The weak stomach is rapidly nvigorated
and the appetite restored by this agreeable
Tonic, and hence it works wonders in cases OF
Dyspepsia and in less confirmed forms of lndi.
geston Acting as gentle and painless APP
perient as well as upon the liver, it also invar-
iably relieves the Constipation superinduced
| by irregular action of the digestive and secrc-
tive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At
tacks Lowness Of Spirits and Fits Of Languor
| find prompt and permanent relief from these
Btters. The testimony o. this point is most
conclusive. and from both sexes.
| The agony of Bilious Collie is Immediately MS
suaged by a single dose Of the stimuant, and
by occasionally resorting to it, the return Of the
complaint may be prevented
As q General Tonic, Hostetter's Ditters pro-
duce effects which must be experienced or wit
messed before they con be fully appreciated. In
cases Of Constitutional Weakness, Premature
Decay aud Debility and Decreptitude arising
from Old Age, it exercises the electric influ-
ence. In the convalescent STAGES Of all dsea-
| SIS it operates as delightful invgorant. When
the powers of nature are relaxed, it operates TO
re-eniorce and re-cstablish them.
Last, but not least, it is The only Safe Slim
ulant, being manufactured from sound and in
ocuous materials, and entirely free from the ae-
| id clements present more or less in all the or
diary tonics and somachcs of the day.
No family medicine has been SO universally,
and, it may be truly added, deserUediy popular
with the intelligent portion of community, as

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
NASHVILLE UNION

The NASHVILLE ONION was commenced last spring,
for the purpose of opposing the Rebel Southern Con
ederacy and Of advocating the restoration Of Federal
authority without any abatement, all the States
which have attempted to secede. It's object was to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty and Union they
we're expounded by the fathers Of the Republic,
but which for more than one year-the long and
dreary carnival Of treason-hsd been unspoken and
unwritten in the Capital Of the State Of ANDREW
JACKSON and were treasured up only in tho hearts Of
the faithful We believed that the right way to CON
duct loyal JOURNAL in city like Nashville, at such
a time as this, to raise the wavering Rud tmid
up to the true standard Of patriotism, and not to
lower the standard Of patriotism after the manner Of
some other journals suit the depraved tastes Of the
semi.loyal and sympathizors with the Richmond dy-
nasty.
The UEIos, therefore, has held as friends all who
support and as foes all who oppose the Union Of the
states. It's watchword is FRkEDoM AND NAuoNALuI.
with rebels and traitors II has compromise to
make Il contends for the Federal Constitution and
tho Laws made in pursuance thereof Rs8he SUPREME
LAW or TIE LAND, anything in the Constitution and
laws Of any Of tho States TO the contrary notwith
standing.
II contends for the Union Of the States, because
without It the preservation Of liberties and nstl
tutions and tho Organization Of society itself are
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands In
the way Cf crushing out the rebellion and restoring
the Union must perish, matter by what name II
be called.
When thousands Of our citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upon the altar Of their country, sacr
Gee above all earthly price, and precious in the sight
Of Heaven, God forbid that any ignoble motive Of
self interest should make any man waver in his 10y
atty. II there be any such, let them look at the
blood Of Shiloh, Fort DOnelson, Murfreesboro and
Fredsricksburg, and blush at their wickodness and
folly Love for our country should now oyershaiow
every other feeling and he Is no patriot who loves
his houses lands negroes with tithe OF the devo
ton which no feels for his country. Even prudent
selashneas should compel men 70 be patriots for who
can hope TO save his treasures from the wreck ef
a ruined and dismemberod Uniont
We want TO see the land once more blessed with the
enduring sunshine Of honorable peace, based upon
the complete and unconditional submission Of the
rebels now in arms, and not lie up with the deooitful
glow Of peace bssod upon emaseplate loyalty, and
concessions TO traltors-the glow of meteor which
would shine only TO botrNy, and going out would
leave us in darkness tenfold more gloomy than that
which prevailed before
These are the sentiments and views which the
UNos will continue TO advocate through whatever
Of storm or sunshine may await It in the future, and
we ask the support Of all who believe 1t to be import
ant that thoroughly and vigorously loyal Newspaper
should be published in Nashville.
