ATTENTION, SOLDIERS!
And the Friends of Soldier

We call the attention Of all barring relation. or
friends in the army to the fact that "HOOF-
LANDS GERMAN BITTERS" will cure nine
tcnths of the diseases induced by exposures and
privations incident TO camp life. In the lists
published almost daily in the newspapers, on the
arrival Of the sick, it will be noticed that very
large proportion are suffering from debility
Every case Of that kind can be readily cured by
highlands German Baters.
We have no hesitation in stating that il these
Bitters were freely used among our soldiers, hum
dreds of lives might be saved that otherwise
would be lost.
The proprietors are daily receiving thankful
letters from sufferers in the army and hospitals,
who have been restored to health By the uss OF
these Bitters, sent to them by their friends.

was an exile from his native State,
rich now only in loyalty which
no wealth could bride o: corrupt, no
adversely diminish, no power sub
due.
Such, sir, are the price and the
penalties of loyalty in the States in
rebellion. Elsewhere it may be a
sentiment-there it is a fact. Sir,
traitors are entitled to no concession.
Thus far they have asked none. But
shall I depart from the proprietles
of the present hour, or unwarranta-
bly, disturb its sacred solemnities, If
| shall say that to the Uuian men
of the South it would be magnanim-
Gus to make concessions? Nay, would
it not be just aud wise?
In politics, Mr.. Bowden usually
acted with the Wing party. But in
this, as in every other department OF
life, his independence Of thought and
conduct was conspicuous. he never
hesitated to sacrifice his attachments
for his party to his regard for his
principles. The obligations of the
patriot were paramount to the pre-
judices and passions of the partisan.
His great rule of life seemed to be,
to seek to know the right and then
to pursue it, regardless ofall personal
consequences. This distinguishing
feature of his character was never
more manifest than since the COM
mencement of the existing Insured
ton. He appeared to have renowned
all party feelings and affiulties, and
to have dedicated himself, without
reservation, to the sole great purpose
of suppressing the rebellion and re-
storing the Union and the Constitn-
ton. 1t was on the very day when
he took his seat mem Der Of this
body that | heard him refer approx
ingly to the noble sentiments uttered
by Mr.. Douglas shortly before his
death, that
"There can be but two sides to the present
controversy Every man must be on the side o.
the Uuited States or against it. There can b
no neutrals in this war; "W hosoever i
not prepared to sacrifice party organizations ant
platforms on the altar Of his country, does no
| deserve the support and countenance ofan homes
people. We must cease discussing party issues
make no illusions to old party tests, have NJ
ordinations and recriminations, indulge in NJ
taunts one against another, as to who has been
the cause of these troubles"
But, sir, the deceased is now be.
yond the reach Of either the praise o.
his friends or the persecution of his
enemies. Notraitorous violence shall
assail him more. He has gone tc
his reward [ am not advised OF
his religious views or hopes. But
am safe, I think, in saying that one
so true to his country could hardly
be false to his Creator.
Mr.. WILSON also made few re
marks in eulogy of the deceased; at
ter which the resolutions were unan-
imously adopted, and the Senate
adjourned.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 1S.-The Ameri-
can has letter dated Point Lookout
Jan. 10Th, giving an account of an
extensive raid in Westmoreland,
Northampton and Richmond counties
Virginia, by Brig. Gen. Mason. His
command consisted of 5000 infantry
and $50 cavalry and EN- barked from
Point Lockout on the 10Th. The
command marched to Warsaw G. H.
Richmond county, capturing and de-
stroying large quantity of pork and

the rebel government, also rebel
Major and several other prisoners and
destroyed graiD, &c. From Warsaw
they proceeded to Union wharf on
the RappahaDnock and communicated

ed Farnham's creek and burned a
large bridge. Some skirmishing
occurred at this point with rebel cav,
airy. The next morning they mar
ched for Little Waltham and destroy
ed quantity of grain and other pro-
duce. After a slight skirmish with

Summary for the Week.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. The mem
bers of both the Military Committees
of Congress have received large num-
bers of letters, the writer's volunteer
ing suggestions or advice as to what
should be the feature Of the amend
ment of the enrolment bill, evidently
desiring it should be SO formed as to
exempt themselves from the draft.
The bill before the Senate will
probably pass that body tomorrow
and be sent to the House for concur
renee. 1t corrects some Of the faults
and it's object is to render more eff
Gent the operation of the present
law.
The only persons specially exempt
ed from the draft are the Vice Presi-
dent of the U. S. the Judges of U.
S. courts, the heads of the several
Executive Departments and the Gov
ernors of States, and by implication
such persons as are physically or
mentally unfit for the service, accord
ing. to the prescribed army regula-
tions.
The two classes for enrolment
and draft are merged in one, which
is made to include persons between
the ages of 20 and 40 years, credits
to be given to cities, towns and wards
so as to equalize as far as POSSIBLE
the draft throughout each district.
The Communication is increased to
$500. Those who pay it to be ex-
empted from the present draft, but
liable to be called upon in the next;
in other words, they are in the condi-
ton of a reserved class.
Drafted men may, if they prefer,
be transferred to the Navy, such
transfer being credited to their re-
spective localities.
Alterations are made in the details
of the old act for conducting the draft
and attorneys or agents are restricted
to the fee of S., 70 preparing necessa-
ry exemption papers.
The bill has not yet been perfected
by the Senate, but it will probably
pass that body with the above pro-
minent features.

One of the most effective agencies
which the naughty iustigators of the
rebellion have brought to bear upon
the people of the South is the exclus-
ion from all social relations of those
who refuse to adhere to their guilty
cause. Mr.. Bowden, living at the
very seat of the ancient aristocracy Of
Virginia, constantly receiving and
elegantly dispensing those hospitali-
ties for which Virginia has been SO
famous, was literally driven from
society with the most imperial con-
tempt. Yet, thus isolated and os

public should rescue him from his
captivity and his disgrace. 1t did
come; but only remained long enough
to allow him to escape to place Of
greater security. When the forces
