Let Us be Nereirnl 10 Ourselves.

The physical structure of the strongest human be-
ing is vulnerable everywhere. Our bodies are endow
ed by nature with certain negative power, which
protecs them to some extent from unwholsome inlu-
ences: but this protection is imperfect and cannot
safely be relied in unhealthy regions under cir
cnmstances of more than ordinary danger. There
FORE it is WISDOM it is prudence, it is common
to provide against such contingencies by taking an
antidote in ddvaee in other words by certifying the
system with course of HOSTETrER'S STOMACH
BITTERs, the most complete protective against all
the epidemic and endemic malades thathas ever been
administered IN any country. As remedy for Dys-
pepsa, there is no medicine that viii compare with
it. Whoever suffers the pangs of Indigestion, any
where on the face Of the earth where HOSTETTER's
BIITERS can be procured, does so voluntarily; for
as sure truth exists this invaluable Tonic and Al
terative would restore his dsordered stomach to a
healthy condition. To the Bilious it is also espec-
ally recommended, and in cases of confirmed Const-
patton it affords speedy and permanent relief In
Canada, the West Indies, and Australia the Bitters
rank above all other medicines of the class, and the
demand for them in all foreign countries increases
every season. fss N am

HOW GEN. MCCLELLAN OBTAINED
SUPREME ECOMMAMD

SUPREME COMMAND.
A New York correspondent furnishes the
following statement as to how Gen. Mcclellan
obtained command of the armies of the United
States, and why he was removed:
The disaster at Bull Run came on the ma
ton like an avalanche. A distinguished citi-
zen OF New York was in Washington the day
after. The army was without a head. and
completely demoralized. Beauregard could
have, marched into Washington at any mo-
ment, had it pleased Providence. The gentle
man met Thurlow Weed on the sidewalk at
an early hour in the morning ADDRESSING
Thurlow, he said, washington is not safe.
The army is mob: it has no leader: and
what is to be done ?"-"What do YOU prc-
pose?' said the astute statesman, unwilling to
commit himself The reply was, @The army
must have a leader. George B. Mcclellan is
the only man that has any eclat, or SO far has
had any success. "-"Win you go and tell the
Governor that?" said Mr.. Weed (the name
by which Mr.. Seward is Familiarity known in
Washington. The Governor cross-questioned
him sharply. "What do you know about Nc
Clellan? How do you know the public have
confidence in him2 How do you know that
he gained the battles in Western Virginia?"
The result was that Mcclellan was sent for

do with the army as he would. He could form
such corps, break the army up, do whatever
he pleased under the terms made with the
War Department. WLEE0N00ts
One night the gentleman above referred to-
just as he was going to bed, was called upon,
In New York, by a stranger, He was citi-
zen OF llllnois,-a man of position. He was a
personal friend of Mcclellan, and had been
connected with him in the Western railroads.
He spoke of him as a man of ability and in
tegrity, but easily duped by de igning men,
and unfortunate in the choice of instruments
to do his will. Said the gentleman: "He is
forming corps for secret service He has put
at the head of it one of the most unprincipled
men in the country,-he has defrauded the
Western railroads out Of 100000 The name
he goes by In the army is not his real name:
and Mcclellan win have no success while this
man is at the head of this corps. You must
90 to Gen. Mcclellan, and tell him he must
dismiss that man forthwith" The gentleman
declined on the ground that he did not know
Gen. Mcclellan. The stranger replied: sit
was on your recommendation that he was APP
pointed" The Illinois gentleman was right;
no success followed. Mcclellan complained
