b WASHINGTON. Jan. "a number of col
ored men belonging to this district, on theil
way to New York, to be used as substitutes
there, were taken off the steamship Balti-
more at Georgetown yesterday, by one OF
the detectives.
Among the first persons to pay their re-
spects to the President yesterday were Sec

The gunboat Commodore Reed arrived
yesterday at Alexandria bringing UP two
lieutenants and five privates of the rebel
army, and several ladies, among whom was
Mrs. Davis, wife of q rebel Colonel Davis,
who We're captured while attempting to
cross the Potomac.
There are indications that Gen. Early con-
templates a movement or raid towards Win
chester, and perhaps beyond that town.
An order has been issued from the Army
of the Potomac prohibiting all newspaper
correspondents connected Herewith from
publishing or causing to be published the
number or designation of regiments re-en-
listing in the army, or leaving the same or

A Few Thoughts mt the Close of
the Year.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Is it not wise in in
dividuals and families as the year draws
near close to find what their debts are; to
look ut the results of what they have been
doing; that they may the better mark out
what is to be done in the coming time !?
Many who only have an indefinite notion of
their condition when viewed vaguely and
who feel no anxiety about it will be horri-
fled when they look at the books and con-
slider the items and look squarely at the ag-
gregate. Now think that still more does
it behoove nation to look at their debts,
doings and the consequences resulting.
have been taking view of these things;
the results of which will give you, hoping
that these plain facts may have the effect OF
bringing plain honest people to consider
what is their part in them.
see by the papers that we are, or will
soon be, two billions in debt. How easy
this is said! How little feeling does it pro-
duce!! Because we have no real conception
of the vast amount of even one million, much
less Of one or two billions. But let us try
from familiar objects and facts to grasp the
vast amount. i try to think Of million o.

The hight of one leaf seems almost in ap'
preciable, common writing paper,) ye
when a million are piled one on top of an
otherit makes pile three hundred feet high
of course two million would be six hundret
ieet high, and ten million would be thre'
! thousand feet high; one hundred million
would make thirty thousand feet; this 4
higher than any mountain in the world.-
Now, by steps like this, Ihave tried to gras]
the idea of our debt Of two billionsfl |

Ayers sarsaparilla

is compounded from the most effectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered Tor
this affecting distemper, and for the cure Of Inc
disorders it entails. Tint il is far superior to
anv other remedy yet devised is known BY nll
who have given it a trial That it does com.
binc virtues truly extraordinary in their cficrt
upon this class Of complaints, is indispufuhly
proven by the great multitude OF publicly
known and remarkable cures il has made Of
the following diseases Kings Evil or.
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions. Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery.
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
SwellingS, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Merourial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series Of complaints that arise from impurity
Of the blood. Minute reports of individual!
cases may bc found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may bc
learned the directions for its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had faded to afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all scc-
tiunS of the country in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak 10
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 constitu-
tons. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration Of human
life. The vast importance of these conSidern-
tons has led US 10 spend years in perfectng
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
VIC 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 .arstpdriRa in Alternative power. BY
its aid YOU may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger OF these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptionS that rot and tester in tho
blood; purge ont the causes of disease and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculinr
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital filnc-
tlons, and thus expels the distempcrs which
lurk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of .Sdrsdpdrh'd, TINT promised
much and did nothing but they will pcither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Il, 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 n very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more ctfectual than any other which has
ever been available to them.

MATTERs--MAN REPORTED HUNG, AND ANoTH-
ER sHoT-yARIETY.
Correspondence of The Alleghanian.
JoHNsTowN, September 5, 1864.
Col. j. M. Campbell and Adj't. w II.
Rose, of the 54th P. ", returned home
last week, their term of service having
ex pired. These officers have been in SER
vice three years, and have seen much
arduous duty in keeping the Shenandoah
Valley clear of guerillas, and latterly in
the series of battles eliminating in the
late engagement near Winchester. Col
Campbell was considered ore of the ablest
officers in his department, and for the
past few months commanded brigade
Adj't. Rose was wounded in the thigh
during the battle of New Market. but is
now fully recovered.
Capt Lowman departed for Pittsburg
the rendezvous of his regiment-la
week, with over $50 men. His company
rolls bear the Dames of some of the finest
looking men in this section. Capt. But
lands company, through some cause,
failed to be mustered into service, and the
greater part have returned home. A
company is now being formed here, under
the auspices of Capt. Mackin. His rolls
number over so men.
There is a pretty we'll authenticated
report here that Geo. D. Berlin, of this
place, who was appointed by Gov. Curtin
military agent to recruit negroes for West
moreland county, was hung by guerrilas
in Tennessee few weeks ago. Also, a
report that Jas. Eldridge, Of COUGHS
Independent Scouts, was shot at Danville,
in the attempt to arrest deserter. This
report lacks confirmation.
The horses attached. to the Foster
House hack ran off last week, and in their
mad career tore down the awning posts in
front of w. & r. Gels store, the railing
before Suppes' store, and were finally
brought up by dividing at the Scott House
sign-post. Four small boys were in the
hack at the time, and for a wonder escaped
injury.
Two soldiers were robbed in saloons in
this place last week, of 5000 and S400 re-
spectively. The money believe was not
recovered.
