A BRoKEN-pOwN SYSTEM.

There is a disease to which the doctors give many
names, but which few Of them understand. IL Is
simply weakness-a breaking down Of the vital
forces. Whatever its causes (and they are innum-
erable,) its symptoms are in the main the same.
Among the most prominent are extreme lasSitude
less appetite loss Of flesh, and great mental de-
preston Indigestion and Stomach Cough are
also frequently concomitants OF this distressing
state OF body and ofmind. The common remark in
relation TO persons in such a condition is,
that they arc consumptiye. Now, what
these unfortunates really want is uigOr-
uitaI strength; and as certainly as dawn succeeds
darkness they can recuperate their systems and
regain perfect health by resorting to HOsrErIER's
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITERs 1t is as clear that
a life-reviving Tonic is required in such cases, as
that the dying fame Of an empty lamp requires to
be revived with new supply Of oil. Perfectly
pure and innccuous, containing nothing but the
most genial vegetable extracts, and combining the
three grand elements Of a stomaehic, Alternative.
and genial invigorant.-HosTETTER's BHTERs are

A Washington despatch says the Attorney
General yesterday made report to the Pres
ident as to the habeas corpus case decided
by Judge Underwood. The Attorney Gen
eral comes to a different conclusion from that
by Judge Underwood, and recommends an
order for the release of the prisoner. Upon
this recommendation, the President
this Afternoon, directed an order
to be issued for the discharge
of the prisoner. 1t Is scarcely necessary to
add that wherever the rebellion is believed
o have ceased, there the writ OF habcas cor
pus is no longer suspended.

CALAIS, Me-, April u.

There was much excitement yesterday and
last night at Stephens, New Brunswick, Op-
posi;e this city. Fears of Fenian raid have
been strengthening for several days, but the
point Of attack Is not yet known.
Reports from E1stport, yesterday, indi-
cate ~ the Fenians were leaving there in
squads, supposed for Calais, but up to this
hour they have not showed themselves here.
From 200 to 800 men were under arms at
ST Stephens all night. All the approaches
to the town are strongly guarded, and every
preparation made to receive the Fenians.
An attack IN this quarter IS improbable.
Large numbers OF fenians are believed to
be moving East but no definite information
EN- be gathered.

But that 1t was in accordance with the eyi.
dence and the ruling of the Court, is equal
iy undeniable. The community cannot be
persuaded, probably, that Ward was any
thing more than the hired agent of an ADLER
and more guilty instigator But there was
no direct evidence of plot between him and
any other party, and though the suspicion OF
such plot may amount to a moral certainty
In many a mind, juries cannot go upon sus-
piciOn. We trust that in some way the
whole truth concerning that horrible crime,
may yet come out.
