SUDDEN CHANGE OF THE WEATHER

With good appetite, vigorous digestion
and sound liver it is possible to brave con.
stant exposure and to encounter the present
climate changes. But the strongest bodily
health and most vigorous constitution will
soon decline under such depressing influences
unless fortified against the Extra pressure. How.
then, can the appetite be preserved, the diges.
tive organs kept in good condition, and the
regularity of the bowels maintainedi The
secret is, use the Red Jacket Stomach Bitters,
which produce the desired result in the most
agreeable manner.

The Rebel Leaders,

The antecedents of the rebel leaders, for
which President johnson has offered reward,
ought to be familiar to the public. Jacob
Thompson was for several years member OF
the United States Congress from Mississippi,
and Secretary of the Interior Department
during the greater part OF Mr.. Buchanan's
administration. He resigned when his State
seeded, and on the inauguration of hostilities
accepted military service. He was for nearly
two years in command of regiment, and sub.
sequently became Inspector General for the
Department Of Mississippi. For a year past
he has served the Contederates in q diplomatic
capacity. Clement O. Clay was formerly Sen.
ator IN the United States Com gress from Ala
bama, and since the war served in the Confed.
crate Congress in similar capacity, except
ing the past ten months, spent in Canada.
George N. Sanders, noted politician, and
Naval Agent for the port of New York under
Mr.. Buchanan, is native of Kentucky, and
was a great friend of Senator Douglas. He
entered Into an agreement, in 1862, to furnish
the Confederate Government with six iron
clads, to be built in England. Sanders made
his way through the North to Canada dis
guised as Cornlshman. The Confederate
Government however, aunulled the contract
with Mr.. Sanders, who subsequently returned
to Canada. He projected the peace negotiation
which suited in the issuance of Mr.. Lincoln's
proclamation, ssTo whom it NAV concern >,
Beverly Tucker is Virginian, published the
Sentinel newspaper in Washington in 1850, and
was Consul to Liverpool from 1856 to 1880
VIM G. Cleary, Secretary Of Mr.. Clay, is from
Harrison County, KY, and, fled from that State
to the South IN 1861. He-wes the leading Demo.

From the N. Y. Commercial May 5th.l
The market for securities is dull and un-
orally weaker, with no disposition to operate
largely for either rise or fall. The sbears"
continue to hammer the market, but with no
further success than checking the tendency to-
ward higher prices.
Governments are quiet, pending the absence
OF news from Europe. The general expecta-
ton favors an ultimate material advance,
though 1t is thought possible that the news OF
the Presidents assassination may produce
there temporary sharp downward turn in
the price OF fve-twenties.
Gold continues strong at about 1i3. The
expectation of reaction in American financial
affairs in Europe, on the news of the assassi-
nation conspiracy, is the chief cause of the
strength
Money is in ample supply, and without
change in rates. The quotation on call loans
is as per cent On business paper the lowest
rate is per cent the prevailing rates being
Foreign exchange continues dull, chiefly
from the indisposition to pay the present high
rates. The leading drawers are asking 1lO for
portant sales. Sterling is very scarce Francs
are quoted 5.1l 4a5llx, with light transac-
tions.
The N Y Post says:
As to the future course of government and
railroad securities there is much diversity OF
opinion. 1t is supposed by some that as the
rise from the lowest prices of April has been
considerable. 1t Is natural to expect a down.
ward reaction, especially as the bears, VINO
have heavy contracts falling due during the
next ten days, will find it to their interest to
depress the market to the utmost of their
power. Others, however, claim that as money
seems likely to continue easy, and the financial
affairs of the country show gratifying indica-
tions of i'm provement and increasing prosperi-
ty, an impulse will be given to all departments
Of mercantile, manufacturing and commercial
enterprise, and thus an impulse will be given
to speculation and an upward tendency to all
sound dividend paying securities.
The Boston Traveller of the 9TH says:
There is large amount Of idle money in the
market, which is freely offered to borrowers
on call, at six, and in some cases at five per
cent. The currency loan Is absorbing a good
deal of it, which is held by the national banks,
subject to draft from the Treasury, when re-
quired for the public service. Prime paper
are taken in the street at seven per cent. The
stock market is pretty firm, but without ami
nation.

JRFF DAVIS SPECIE LosT.-Col. Clark, of
the Rebel army, who was captured by one OF
our SEQ uting parties while endeavoring to es-
cape from Richmona on one of the last trains
from the doomed city, asserts that he was in
charge OF all the specie which was removed
from Richmond; that when his train broke
down, and he found it impossible to get 1t on
the track and off again, and seeing our forces
approaching, he ordered it set on fire, and that
all his efforts to save the specie was unavailing;
that the soldiers broke open the kegs, and amid
the excitement and tumult, soldiers and citi-
Zens appropriated all there was. He asserts
that he knows that no other amounts of specie
not in the pockets Of its owners were taken
from Richmond, and that this lot was ALI
stolen. He states further, that the amount has
been vastly over-estimated, and confirms the
statement heretofore made by Gen. Grant, that
it amounted to only about S200,000 Col. Clark
was an old regular army officer previous to
the breaking out of the war, and is near re-
latiye to one Of our most distinguished navaI
statements.

Ho! for Mexico.

MYSTERIOUS EMIGRATION NMOVRMENT-WHATS q
IN THE WIND!
1t is very evident that the valuable region OF
country known as Mexico occupies a very
considerable share OF attention. Several or
ganizatlons are being perfected in this city all
apparently acting under one head.
There is much mystery connected with the
movement, but the idea Of the Monroe doc
trlne seems to be decidedly popular. Even
some of the detectives who have been In MeXi-
co. are rather shy in conversation on the sub
ject, but they would be s'delighted to visit that
place once more All they say is, the move
ment is a j." big thing" and 'sufficient to-day is
the evil thereof" This is equivocal language,
but accompanied with sly winks, mods, &c,
may be considered significant of something
not desirable at the present time to be made
public.
We hear of parties who desire to visit Mexi-
CO by water, instead of overland. Seventy
men, who have seen sea and naval service,
are already organized, and the commander is q
gentleman truly loyal, once IN the service
stationed in foreign waters. 1t is also limited
that vessels are being or will be fitted out at
Baltimore and manned by hardy crews. Our
large cities are now over populated, and as it is
likely the number will be swelled to an almost
indefinite extent in few months, it is thought
proper by the enterprisng gentlemen engaged
in the emigrant movement to prepare an outlet
at once through which the tide of population
may readily flow. Incident to,this movement,
there will be quite demand for some of the
United States vessels, to be sold to the highest
bidder, in a short time.-I' Philadelphia Press.

A POINT ON WHICH ALL PHYSICIANS
AGREE.

A POINT ON WHICH ALL PHYSICIANS
AGREE.
Out of ten thousand regular physicians you can
not find one who will not say that Stimnlants and
Inrigo, ant, are absolutely necessary in medical
practice. And yet In by gone years humane prac-
ttioners have hesitated to administer them, be.
cause the fendish in genuity of wretches who make
merchandise of human infrmities. had 80 polluted
and deterior ated them that the remedy was deemed
as dangerous as the disease. This perplexity is
happily done away with. Physicians know, be-
cause the first analytical chemists of the age have
demonstrated the fact. that HosTETrER's CELE-
BRATED STOMACH BITTERs are absolutely and en-.
tirely free from all pernieious elements. Hence
they have been intro duced into the United States
Army, and are accepted. whereon the testimony Of
the vise thu tell gent and the philanthropic is
rated at its just value, as the best protective
against and cure for ell diseases arising from i'm
purity in the air or other unhealthy climate in.
fuences, that has ever been tested by experience.
In cases Of Dyspepsia and Liver Complant,we state
without qualification or reservation. that the Bit
tors are as nearly infallible as anything prepared
by human skill can be. ap 26.2w
