Gov. Morton in speech tho other day
in Indiana, said;
You want peace. We all want peace
There is no man in the land more earnestly
in favor of peace than am, But want o
peace that is honorable, aud peace that
will be enduring. | do not want a poaco
the inevitable result of which will be to
transfer tho war from Virginia, South Caro-.
lima aud Georgia, to Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio and Indiana. Suppose we take
up with the proposition Of the peace men,
and withdraw our armies from tho front OF
the robels; do wo thereby gain peaceH Vol
oes, "No, no" Suppose that Sherman should
Withdraw from Atlanta and come north
ward, does any man doubt that Hood and
his re bol forces weuld follow directly and
swiftly to LouisvilleH And think you they
would hesitate to cross the Ohio riverP No,
they would be only too happy to inlict upon
Indiana and Ohio the same devastation they
have carried into Maryland and Pennsylva-
MIA. II you want TO have the war trans
ferred to the soil of Indiana, you have only
to pursue the policy dictated by tho peace
men, and you will have it at once. But il
you want to keep the war from you, you
must prosecute the war already so far ad-
vanced to successful completion. You
must suppress the rebellous States. Aud
as Judge Perkins says; "Wo shall conquer
the South the job we have on haud,' he
says, disguise it as we may, it is to subiu.
gate the South, and it is ono of those Jobs
which according to the old adage, is well
done If it were done quickly" Applause
aud cheers.
Look at what has been donel Moro than
half tho rebel territory has been already
conquered. We have our hands on what
remains of it. Generals Grant and Sherman
have their hands on the throat Of the rebel
lion, and they will not let go until the mon.
ster yoids, unless they are puiiedof by the
Peace men of the North. [Great applause |
Yes we will conquer tho rebellion, we wi !
crush it out, unless we are defeated by its
friends in the North, who are dividing the
people and attempting to paralyze tho Gov
ernment in its efforts to conquer peace

orchard, his roadside trees, so laden with
fruit, that did he not carefully prop thom
up, tie them together, aud ia many places
hold the beughs together by wooden
clamps, they would be torn Hsunder by
their own weight He has his own corn plot

ter, aud therefore he and his family have
the strongest motives for exertion. In Ger
snany nothing is lost. The produce Of the
Areos and the COWS is carried to market
Much fruit is dried for winter use. You
see wooden trays of plums, cherries and
sliced apples lying in the hot sun to dry,
You see strings OF them hanging from the
windows in the sun. The COWS are kept
up the greater part of the year, and every
green thing is collected for them. Every
little nook where the grass grows, by the
roadside, river and brook, is carefully cut
by the sickle, and carried home or the
heads of women. Nothing of the kind ia
lost that can possibly be made of any use.
Weeds, nettles, nay, tho very goose-grass
which covers the waste places, are cut up
and taken for the cows. You see the lit.
ile children standing in the streets of the
villages, aud in the streams which general
]y run down them, busy washing these
weeds before they are given to tho cattle

NoTFTNG that is not wholesome, genial and restor-
aive in its nature enters into the composition of Ho-
sTETTERs STOMACH Buffers. This popular prepa-
ration contains no mineral of any kind no deadly
botanical element, no fiery excant but il is a COM
bnation of the extracts of balsamic herbs aud
plants, with the pures and mildest of all diifusive
stimulants.
1t is we'll to be forearmed against disease, and so
far as the human system can be protected by human
means against naladies engendered by an unwhoe
some atmosphere, impure water and other external
causes, HosTETTER's BITTERs may be relied on as a
safeguard.
In districts infested with Fever and Ague, it has
been found nfabe preventive and Irresistible
as n remedy, and thousands who resort to it under
apprehension of an attack, escape the scourge; and
thousands who neglect to avail themselves of its
protective qualities in advance, cured by very
brief course of this marvellous medicine Fever and
Ague patients, after being piled with quinine for
months in vain, until fairly saturated with that dan
gerous alkalOid, are not unfrequently restored to
health within few days by the use of HosTETTER's
BITTERs.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the
appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic and hence
it works wonders in of Dyspepsia and Unless
confirmed forms of Indigestion. Acting as a gentle
and painless aperent, well as upon the liver, il
also invariably relieves the Constipation superin-
duced by irregular action of the digestive and secre
tive organs.
Persons offeebleh habit, liable to Nervous Attacks
Lowness of Spidts and Fits of LanguOr find prompt
and permanent relief from the BITTERs. The testi-
mony Oh this point is most conclusive, and from both
sexes.
The agony of Bilious Collie is Immediately as
suaged by single dose of the stimulant, and by oc
casonally resorng to it, the return of the complaint
may be prevented.
AS a General Tonic, HosTETTER's BTTTERs pro
duce effects which must be experienced or witnessed
| before they can be fully appreciated In cases OF
| Constitutional Weakness, Premature Decay, anG
Debility and Decreptude arising from Old Age, il
| exercises the electric influence. In the GONZALES
cent stages of all diseases operates a dalightfu
/ invigorant When the powers ofnature are relaxed
| il operates to reinforce and re-establish them.
Last, but not least, it is THE ONLY SAFE STIMU
LIANT, being manufactured from sound and innocu
ous materials, and entirely free from the acid ele

and stomachics of the day.

TuE PRoPER WAY TO BIr CoLT--
Farmers often put biting harness on q
colt the first thing they do to him, buck
ling ep the biting as tight rs they car
draw it, mako him carry his head high, and
then turn him into lot to run half day
at time. This is one of tho worst pun
ishments they could inhiot on colt. aud
very injurious to a young horse that has
been used to running in pasture with his
head down.
A horse should be well accustomed te
the bit before you put ON the biting har
ness; and when you first bit him you should
only reign his head up to that point where
he naturally holds it, let that be high oil
low he viii learn that he cannot lower
his head, and that raising it little will
loosen the bit in his mouth. This will
give him the idea of raising his head to
loosen the bit, and then you can draw tn,
bit little tighter every time You put it OF
and he will raise his head TO loosen it. b,
this means you will gradually get his heac
aud neck in the position you wish him I,
carry it, and give him graceful carriage
without hurting him, making him angry
or causing his mouth to DO sore--Rdrey.
