THIRTY LINES OF COMMON

THIRTY LINES OF COINION
SENSE.-Reader, having glanced over the
editorials and the news in this jo rnal, YOU
turn to the advertisements, saying to your
self. "These are published by the writer's
to serve their own interests" Perhaps 80.
But it is no less true that it concerns uo7t,.
interests to read these thirty lines If Won
are healthy, it is presumed you wish to
continue so. If sick, of course you desire
to be relieved. In either case. it is impor-
tant to you to know that IIOSTETTER'S
BITTERS are the safest, surest and best
tonic and alternative ever advertised in any
country. This is q period of the year when
the strongest need al invigorant, for the
oppressive heat drains the system of
strength faster than the most potent and
vigorous organization can rccruitit There
fore, as preservative Of health-as q pro-
lection against the devitalizing action of
heat and the malaria it produces-you
should sustain the good constitution and
sound stamina with which nature has
blessed you with this peerless Veqet0bie
Tonic.
1t can scarcely be necessary to urge upon
the weak and alllng the importance OF ac-
curing by safe means the strength which
unassisted nature denies them. All who
are thus circumstanced are invited to give
the Bitters trial. Before they have taken
the elixir three days. in conformity with
the directions, they will acknowledge with
gratitude its genial operation They will
ma that 1t lmparts mental as well as nery-
GUS energy, and regulates all the internal
functions admirably. This is the expe-
rlence of the debiltated and depressed,
and IN making these statements the pro-
prletors only echo the language Of iunu-
lneraple testimonials. Dec 1S t6

The Parag uayan War.

We have intelligence from the seat ofwar
on the Plata river to July IA, at which time
both armies were quiet, with the advantage,
however, decidedly on the side of the Para.
guayans. The allies are encamped in a
swamp, at the mercy of their enemy's artil,
lery, and for the want of horses could not
move their camp Private letters state that
the Paraguayans have the heaviest artillery
and the allies, unable to extricate themselves
are hoping for the arrival Of the Brazilian
feet to create diversion. The allies too
as people in the hour of despair always do
are quarreling among themselves, and this
weakens them still more. Both armies be,
ing defended by breastworks, neither makes
q direct attack upon the camp of the other
and the allies are seizing all the horses they
can find, in order to provide transportation
for their material.

Tho National Union Committee.

Fifteen members Of the National Commit
tee appointed by the National Union Con.
vention at Baltimore, in 1864, met at Phila-
delphia on Monday, at the request of three
of their number, and adopted the following
resolutions, which are published by the Tri.
btne and other papers as the resolutions OF
the committee:
Whereas the places Of Henry j. Raymond, Of
New York, N. D. Sperry, Of Connecticut, and Geo
X. sentsr, Of Ohio, in the National Union Conven.
ton, are vacant, by reason Of their abandonment
Of the principles of the National Union party and
sthliation with its enemies; therefore
Resolped, That upon proper recommendations
said vacancies be filed by appointment by this
committee.
These resolutions, so far as their practical
effect is concerned, are utterly null and void
and will undoubtedly ~ % regarded by the
members concerned, Ar the following rea-
sons:
/. The pretended meeting of the commit
tee was not held in pursuance Of any regu-
lar call, and was not in any respect meet
ing Of the committee at which any valid
action could be taken. This was the unani-
nous opinion of the eight members of the
committee who met in this city in pursuance
of the regular call.
z. A MINORITY OF tne committee was not
present, and it has never before been pre-
tended that minority of any committee or
association of any kind could take action
which should be valid and binding. The
minority which met at the Astor House,
under regular CALL had more authority to
act than the minority that assembled with
out any call in Philadelphia; and yet it de-
clined to take any action.
3. The idea that minority Of commit
tee can vacate the places Of individual me IN
bers, because Of a difference of opinion, is
ridiculous and absurd If minority of
fifteen can do this, so can a minority OF
eight, or of three, or Of ttoo.
A. The statement that the three members
named have abandoned the principles of
the National Union party" is utterly untrue.
There is not a single principle laid down in
the Union platform adopted at Baltimore by
which the committee was appointed, to which
those gentlemen do not now adhere much
more closely than do those who assume to
sit in judgment upon them.
s. The minority Of the committee which
met in Philadelphia has no more right to
make or fill vacancies in the committee than
II has to make or fill vacancies in Congress /;
and any action that may be taken by a com
mittee thus constituted will have no more
validity or binding force than the rebel
bonds or Colorado Jewett's proclamatons,

MAMMALIAN PREPARING To LEAvE.-Rela.
BILE private advices from Washington inform
us that Macmillan has expressed to the Off.
GERS of his household his determination to
abdicate at once unless the Empress shall re.
ceive from Napoleon the renewed supplies Of
men and money which she requests. The
Emperor's words were that, in the event OF
Napoleon's refusal, he would prefer the happy
retirement Of Miramar to the anxieties OF the
Mexican empire, where all his best inten,
tons were misunderstood and his sincere eff
forts to advance the interests of his people
maliciously thwarted. The campaign against
Matamoros and Tampco will not be aban-
doned; but this in no way affects Maxi
mllian's determination. The Atlantic cable
kilograms are so contradictory that we are
not yet certain whether Carlotta has failed
or succeeded; but in the latter event, this
information from an authentic source leads
us to expect MaXilnilian's early departure

high regions, and prices are to great extent
nominal, with Eastern buyers holding off.
Most of the current shipments are on account
Of previous contracts made in June and
July. Since the late advance in inland
freights the mining business, in many col,

proprietors who are not "stuck" on con.
