Tho Postmaster General Is grad
ually extending the postal service
southward from Richmond, having
concluded contracts for the convey
ance of the mail from that city to Pc
tersburg. and from there to Weldon,
N. C., twice Q day The eutirc dis
tancc is ninety miles.
A frightful railroad accident oc-
cured on the 18th on the lIousatonic
River Railroad, above Bridgeport,
Conn. Seven persons were killed
and eleven badly wounded.
Advices from North Carolina are
dlscouraging. The loyalty prevailed
there is not worth speaking Of
North Carolina is worse than its
Ineighbor, South Carolina.
The latest advices from the Great
Eastern are that the cable parted and
went 20 the bottom. A buoy was
placed to mark the place where it was
last seen, and an effort, it wa suppos-
ed, would he made to fish it up, but
AS it went down in the deepest water,
say two aud half miles, there is
hardly possibility of success.
The Augusta, Ga; Chronicle and
Sentinel inticts upon the Copper
heads the following "most unkindest
cut of all :"
We caution the people off the South
against placing any reliance in the
lcopperhead faction of the North
True, this class will talk smoothly,
and promise everything, as they did
in days gone by. But when it comes
to acts and the fultillment ofpledges,
they are utterly powerless. Before
the late struggle the South was led to
believe that great things in her favor
could be accomplished Ivy them. -
What was the resultf These men
who had for years used Southern in
fuence for their own benefit, were
unable to keep even q single declara-
ton they had msde-much less to
render the assistance they had so
pompously boasted they would give.
The post Office department is now
self-supporting. Its profits for the
last six months of 1864 were S732,
230 go, and for the first six months OF
this year will be much larger. When
the slave power ruled this country
this was quite otherwise.
The Copperheads don't seem to be
so much in hurry about Tylerizing
President johnson since he hung four
of the most active members of their
party.
ETA working party of some thir-
ty-five men, commanded by Quar-
termaster,is on the way to Anderson
vile, Georgia, to inclose and mark
as far as possible the graves of the
Union soldiers who perished at that
place. They carry seven thousand
headboards and fourteen thousand
feet of lumber for fences.
In the gallery of the Convent of
Jesuits, at Lisbon, there is a fine pic.
ture of Adam in Paradise, dressed in
blue brecches, with silver buckles,
and Eve with striped pctticoat.

THE POOR MAN,

The Democracy are laboring to
prejudice the minds of the poor
against the Administration, by as
serting that they are fearing an undue
proportion of the public burden.
We acknowledge that the poor man
is taxed to some extent, and if our
memory serves us right he always
was. If we mistake not, under Dem
ocratic rule the poor laborcr was oh
ligcd to-pay as much on the dollar
valuation of his humble cottage, as
the millionaire on his palace.
But the "Abolitionists" are more
merciful. The poor man whose in
como is 5000 or less per annum pays
only three per cent. on what he con-
sumes of manufactured articles. The
rich man, whose income exceeds
$500, pays five and ten per cent on
that income in addition to the three
per cent. on what he consumes of
manufactured articles. This is the
whole matter in a nutshell. If any
Democrat can devise law easier on
the masses, which will raise revenue,
we have no doubt Secretary McCul-
Tough will gladly recommend it
Let them, before they denounce the
present law, suggest better.

All the loyal States, except the
Democratic strongolds of New Jer-
sey, Kentucky and Delaware, have
accepted the Constitutional amend.
ment abolishing slavery, and all the
lately insurgent States give fair
promise of accepting the amendment
before these Northern Democratic
strongholds are carried for it, in
which event, with heroic devotion,
these Northern Democratic States
will be struggling for slavery after
the South has abandoned it.

Wasting Their Powder.

The democratic press and politi-
clans are busy just now in trying to
President Johnson to
their views, and to further their de-
signs they are trying to make him be
lieve the radicals are corspiring
against him. for the purpose of break.
ing down his administr alton, or fore
ing him to adopt their views. In
this attempt the democracy are vast
ing their time and powder. The time
has gone by when the democracy can
get up split in the republican ranks
by reiterating such silly twaddle as
they are now indulging in. Prosi-
dent Johnson understands the tenor
Of demo tactics as we'll as they
do themselves, and he is also aware
of the support that party would rem
der him--a support that would break
down his administration and render
it as odious as was that Of Tyler s.
The dastardly cowardice of the dem
ocratic party, and the aid rendered
the rebellion by them, should forever
exclude them from the councils of
of President Johnson, and nullily
every attempt to create distrust be-
tween him and the party which placed
him in power. If it wasn't for vast
ing breath, we might be tempted to
wish that their support of Mr.. John
sons administration would not prove
as treacherous as did their support
of the administration of Mr.. Lincoln
winding up in the assassination OF
that great patriot.

A soldier returned to his home in
Fort Wayne few weeks ago, and
found that his faithless wife and her
sisters had turned it into den of in
fanny. He turned every one out
doors but his wife. A few hours af-
forwards acouple OF "fast men" came
to the house and demanded admis-
sion, which was refused. AS one at
tcmped to enter, the husband shot
him, inlicting mortal wound. A
number of the associates of the woun-
ed man went TO the house to take re-
vengc on the soldier. They broke
in the door and were ascending the
stairs, when their leader was shot and
mortally wounded. The mob re
treated, and the soldier gave himself
up to the authorities.

spirit that originated it still lived and

Allusions were made to the "oni.

with the declaration that it had fired
the Southern heart once more to do

The Hartsburgh Telegraph says
that couple of Coppcrheads from
that city called on Major Gen. john
w. Gesry at his home in New Cum
berland, Pa. After exchanging cour-
tesics the two Copperheads introduc.
ed the subject of politics, and com
menced abusing the negro, upholding
the "rights" of the South. The Tel
egraph says:
Gen Geary took the insults, (for
they were nothing less, of his visi-
tors coolly for a few moments, but
the audacity Of these cops exhausted
his patience. "Sirs," suddenly ex
claimed the chafed hero, steadily
looking his visitors in the face, until

AN IMPORTANT FACT FOR FARMERS.
Bells will prevent the depredations
ot dogs among your sheep. The
reason is plain. A dog that knows
enough to kill sheep, also knows
enough to be still and sly about it -
The great noise caused by number
of bells makes him fear for his safety,
and he leaves without doing damage,
The bells also would bring the friends
OF the sheep to their rescue. A doz-
en- bells in a flock of hundred
would be ample. In flock of
twelve sheep, half of them should
wear bells Bells will protect your
woolly herds.

Bradford's Medicated Tonic !
A7sd Life HaVigOratOr,
Is the only reliable and sure cure for ~
Consumption, Bronchitis, Sore
Throat, Coughs and Colds. =

In the above cases the Medicated Tonic and Life
Invigorator should be taken together For an adult
wine glass full of the Medicated Tonic three or foul
times day; if the patient is much reduced, large
spoonful once in two or three hours.
The Lite Invigorator is a very powerful Tonic, and
should be taken with more care. "A Tablespoonful
should be taken three times day. in little water,
alter eating 1t is purely vegetable and is to add
tone and ygor to the whole system. One bottle OF
the Lite Invgorator, accompanied according to di-
rections, with the Medcated Tonic, is warranted to
in most cases. 1t is certain to restore vitality
and vigor to the system which will conquer and
throw off the disease restoring the patient to perfect
health and strength
In Offering these medicines to the public am not
speaking too highly oftheir merits, when say that
there is nothing in the whole catalogue Of remedies
for the cure of Consumption, that will any where
near approach 1t in efficacy real merit.
Having suffered for two years with the terrible dis
ease-Bronchial Consumption-in its worst form, and
having exhausted the full est resources of the medical
department for that special disease, employing the
best Doctors in the city, and my case given up by
them as being perfectly hopeless, then resorted to
the trial of patent medicines; having tried them
thoroughly and receiving no benefit whatever from
them, became disheartened and discouraged, antic-
and friends would be realized. sFus~rs e
Through my whole sickness have studied fully the
working Of this terrible disease through all its vari
GUS changes, and am prepared to say that one,
unless having the experience and chance of study
that have had, is as well prepared to manage and
cure the disease. Therefore having merted the po-
sition take, through actual experience, announce
to the public my competency to warrant of Con-
sumption in all its various forms. This terrible dis
ease is considered the greatest scourge to health in
the New England States because it has not been
treated in proper way This have learned by sub
hitting to general treatment for the disease and
realizing no benefit whatever, but continued to grow
worse, until my case was considered hopeless.
thereiore,in consideration Of my returning health
and OF the agencies that have been the cause of its
restoration, do to the public that am pre-
pared to supply medicines to ORDER any part of the
country and also hold myself in readiness to examine
and treat personally by letter any case of con-
sumptve tendency that proves obstinate and uny
ing under other modes oftreatment.
