~ For Diseases which arise from the Stomach

peculiarly adapted, while in the incipient stages
OF BlLlOUSNESS, NERVOUSNESS, COUGHS and
COLDS, they are superior to all other remedies
The fact that single bottle has cured ague and
fever OF six months standing. and relieved nervous
headache which had resisted al sorts OF remedies
for years, are proof sufficient that they possess
healing virtues rarely found In medicinal prepo.
rations 80 simple and efectual are their operp-
tions, and yet certain are their beneficial results
that all who try them once ever after ADOPT them
as the great panacea for all ills.
These BITTERS can be had of all prominent
Druggists in Richmond and elsewhere in virginia
also of CANDY, GILPIN CO., of Baltimore. For

DEATH or YoUxa LEwBLLxx.-We very much
regret to record the death Of young Edward
Lewellen, son Of Mr.. JAMES W. LYwHLLHy, OF
the Richmond Republic. It will be remembered
that he was accidentally shot in the wrist.
while out on hunting excursion with a
young friend, on Thursday, the 18th instant.
As he leaped from the wagon, in which thev
rode, to shoot bird, the lock Of his gun hung
in his clothes and was fired of, woundin9 him
in the wrist. The wound, although painful
was not deemed serious at the time; and his
parents looked forward to his speedy recovery
His case, however, took a more serious turn
within a few days, and on yesterday at IL
O'Clock he died of lockjaw. As he was an
only son, his death is all the more aiflicting to
his parents. He was about eighteen years
Old, and was an ingenious and gentle youth,
greatly esteemed by those who knew him.
RoBB1xa A SA1LoR-On Saturday night.
while a seaman from the schooner {. Rem
Bolt" which had just arrived in the dock.
was on shore, tying the hawser line, he was
approached by man, dressed in a Federal
officers uniform, who run his hands into his
pockets and said, "D-n You, give me that re-
volyer!" The poor mariner did not have
much, but that little was taken from him be.
fore he could help himself.
D1soRDERLY.-About nine O'Clock Sunday
night crowd Of disorderly boys or men were
engaged, on Clay street, near Fifth, in making
=" night hideous' by firing packages of pop-
singing songs, and otherwise. We
nave repeatedly heard complaints of the bad
conduct OF the boys in that neighborhood on
Sundays. and we call the attention of the new
police to the matter

MILITARY AFFAIRs-Military matters
at this post, except at the Provost Mar
shafs office, have been decidedly dull
for the past few days. Drafting under
the late call became necessary in only
a few townships in this district, and the
unluoky "shads" fshed out are Just
now reporting aud being mustered in.
We are informed that telegram was
received yesterday from Gen. Pitcher,
Provost Marshal for the State, ordering
a suspension of recruiting, and delaying
drafting until further orders.
Our venerable Quartermaster, Capt
Hart, insists that he p not mad, most
noble Festus," but only elated at the
early prospect of visiting his wigwam
on the Wabash, and the speedy destrue-
ton of the Conthieveracy. That gentle
man from African attdche of the
Quartermaster's department - seems
equally overjoyed at the prospect of
visiting Washington City soon, and de-
cIares the defederacy confunct"
Our efficient Post Commander is in
high feather, and seems to enjoy his
walks on First Street exceedingly.
Capt Ehrman refuses to buy any
more commissary stores; and indeed
the entire military situation here seems
thoroughly paralyzed and played
