Two very fine looking little girls and an
intelligent, happy looking dog, go about the
city selling buttermiik. The dog pulls a
small wagon loaded with supply of the
milk in a tin vessel, and the little girls do the
selling. The girls have some appearance of
anxiety on their faces, as if they felt sense
of responsibility and were long way from
home The older one is especially thought
ful-her troubles being increased by the ten
dency of her little sister to stray away, from
the wagon. But the dog appears to have a
delightful consciousness of performing du-
ty, as we'll as supreme confidence in the
girls. 1t seems to think that they are in
some way superior to all the rest of humani-
ty, and would be as much more that match
for the crest of mankind" in case of diff
Guilty, as Prussia has proven to be for Austria.
The group would be worthy subject for the
pencil of Landseer-GaIoest0n Neo0S.

PITTsBURG, May TO- 1866.
Messrs. HosTETTER & SMITH:
GENTLEMEN During a visit to the West last
fall, contr' cted chills and fever which brought
me to my bed, and finally terminated in typhoid
fever, and confined me to my bed for several
months, during which time was physically so
Frustrated that almost despaired of ever recov-
ering my health having almost entirely lost my
appetite for days, not being able to eat morsel,
added to which distressed with Keeling
sensation in my head, and passed many sleepless
nights-all from debility caused by my PROSTATE
condition, brought about by the fever. At this
stage of my condition a friend recommended me
to your celebrated Stomach Bitters, but be-
ing morally opposed to the use of stimulants in
ed my prejudices, and, after taking the medicine
for several weeks, my appetite returned, and
with it I am rapidly regaining my former strength
and vigor. My sleep (from the loss of which 1
have suffered much has never been better than
it is now, and the Keeling sensation (before allu-
ded toy has entirely left me. My bowels, which
were much constipated and irregular, now
quite natural, and, in fact, am glad to say that
/ feel myself a new man, and tender you this
testimonial of my appreciation of your valuable
preparation in order that others may avail them
selves OF its virtues, which prejudice prevented
me from enjoying for so long period 1 may
also add that my physician, after seeing the ben
eficial effect which your Bitters had on me, re-
commended that use them regularly.
Yours, very respectfully,

The Sentinel says: "No legislator will be
sustained by the people, who advocates at
this crisis the imposition of high State taxes
and the extension of State credit" We
agree with the Sentinel, but if zoe had said
this we should most probably have been
called repudiator. The final payment of
10th public and private debts depends, in
our opinion, on our early return to the Union.
If this State should elect to remain out of
the Union Indefinitely, or until the politicians
who now unfortunately control her destiny
can obtain their own terms, then farewell to
all the old debt, both public and private.

Many of the Virginia journals are de-
nouncing Gov. Pierpoint as usurper. When
Gov. Pierpoint assumed office at Richmond,
some fourteen months since, he seemed to be
generally respected and confded in. He has
been of great service to many who now assail
him, in procuring their pardons for them
and saving their property from confscation.
Few, however, thank him for this, for the
plain reason that they feel themselves entitled
to their pardons, not having done any thing,
as they think, to be pardoned for. If the
Jeff Davis radicals of Virginia had half
chance, they would unseat Gov Pierpoint by
the strong hand, and put Gen. Lee or Gov.
Wise in his place. They cannot bear the
idea of being governed by such "mean
Whites" as Gen. Terry and Gov. Pierpoint.
Ttey think g the chivalry" ought to rule.
