AcoUwTAL OF MAJOR GEE.-Major Gee,
who had charge Of the Military prison at Sal
isbury was paroled with Johnston's command,
bat was arrested by u. S. authorities, and, af-
ter nine months imprisonment, was brought
to trial before military court, on the charge
of violating the laws Of war, in cruel treatment
of the Federal prisoners. After protracted
trial, in which many witnesses were examined
on the part of the Government, Major Gee
was acquitted
The Charleston Courier, remarbi0g upon
this result, has the following:
1t was probably true that there was great
suffering and motality at Salisbury; but it was
fully established:
First That every officer connected with
that post and prison made every possible effort
to supply the prisoners.
Second. That they were supplied to the
full extent OF the ability of the country and the
government.
Third That at no tine, in no way.vas there
ever made any difference as to the quantity
and quality of supplies furnished them and the
Confederate soldiers who guarded them and
Fourth. That their sufferings were caused
by the failure of their Government to furnish
them with proper supplies, by its refusal to
exchange them, and by its hostile operations,
which rendered it impossible to select a proper
place tor prison depot.

Heat and Exhaustion.

It requires q constitution and physique
of unusual strength to resist the effect of
the enervating heat of July and August.
Unless the system is toned and sustained
by a wholesome stomachic during these
oppressive months, 1t is likely to be SO Sc
Verely debilitated as to render 1t an easy
prey to the epidemics which prevail in the
Fall. "a wholesome stomachic! where liz
it to be found7" asks the reader, who has,
perhaps, been told by his physician that
little good brandy is serviceable stinu-
liant, and has sought for that obsolete arti-
Gle In vain. II would be as idle to expect
tOhoLesoneness and purity among the liquors
of commerce as to look for miracles OF piety
in the State prison, or wisdom in an idiot
asylum. There is one safe rcsource-but one
for those who need protective tonic and
health-sustaining 1nvigorant. Let them
commence at once, as the torrid season
opens in all its intensity, a course OF HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERS. Ask the
returned officers and soldiers of the Union
army, who have used this elixir during the
war, what they think of ii. They will tell
you that it keeps up the vital forces under
the willing beams of a verticle sun, with
out vftiating the blood or creating any UNI
due excitement in the circulation. AS the
poet Cowper said of tea, g 1t cheers, but not
1nebriates. 1t braces the nervous organiza-
ton, and regulates all the functions OF the
body. No other stimulent can compare in
purity with the Essence of Rye, which
forms its basis and the tonic, aperient and
anti-bilious herbs with which it is medi-
catad, are the best of their kind on the face
of the globe. je28

intolerable nuisance, which has so
long been an annoyance to the citi-
zens along it's route through the city,
and spoiled a much needed street, is
gradually being filled, and box sewers
laid in the bottom through which the
water may pass to supply the manu-
facturers. The filling has nearly been
completed hatween Main and Syea-
more Streets, and the sewerage or
boxing about all laid The bridge
at the crossing of Sycamore and the
canal is to be removed, and a solid
earth-way made in It's stead, which
viii prove a great improvement. At
Sycamore Street the canal leaves the
street, and it will not be filled farther
at the expense of the city, but we are
told that those who own the space,
will fill it, and improve the property,
which will greatly change the appear
ance of that part of the city. There
are now nearly three squares of the
canal filed, which abates the worst
part of the nuisance.
