To the Debilitated and the Decrepil.
: For general debility and exhaustation Of the
powers Of nature, whether occasioned by sick
ness fast living, constitutional decay, old age, or
any other physical or mental causc, the one thing
needfnl and indispensable is H JSTETTERs
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. When
the fire of life seems to be absolutely dying out in
the system, and the mind, sympathizing with the
body, is reduced almost to state Of imbecility,
this mighty Restorative seems, as It were, to lift
the sufferer out of the Slough Of Despond, and re-
cruit and reinvigorate both the frame and the
intellect. An old farmer in the Valley of the
Monongahela writes thus to DR.. Hostetter: al
can compare the operation of your Bitters upon
me to nothing but the effect Of rain after long
dry spell in the fall Of the year. The rain falling
on the meadows starts the second crop Of grass,
and your wholesome medicine seems to have
started second crop of life and spirits in me-"
And this Is truly the effect of this grateful and
powerful preparation Ladies Of weak constitu-
ton, or whose strength has been impaired by
sickness of age, find 1t most efacacious and de-
lightful Tonic, and it is administered with reat
success in marasmus or wasting of the flesh, to
young children. In fact, it is much safer and
surer cordial for the nursery than anything adj
vertised specially for that purpose.

Appointment of Commissioners.

BALTIMORE, Nov 23.-Secretary Stanton
has appointed Colonel W. H. Stewart, W. F.
Flynn, of Washington, and A. Miller of Cecil
County, as Commissioners to award compen-
sation to loyal slave owners of Maryland,
whose slaves were drafted during the war
The commission exists under an act of Con-
gress passed last session.
If the Unionists of this State had been
listened to, and their advice taken in 1868,
we should not only have received compensa-
ton for our slaves, but we should have saved
one hundred thousand valuable lives on both
sides, and escaped all the devastation and
ruin which befell us in 1864 and 1865. The
Unionists of this State were right in 1860, in
1858, in 1865, and they are right now. If
their advice should be disregarded now as it
was then, our misfortunes and sufferings will
continue to increase

We are now told by many writers and
speakers, that we ought as people towith-
draw our thoughts from national affairs, and
devote ourselves exclusively to State affairs.
We can not ignore the Union and expect
to prosper. We can not hope that the mem
bers will be sound, and will fully perform
their allotted parts, until they are again
joined to the body. We can look for no
capital from abroad, for no immigration, for
no permanent prosperity until the Union is
fully restored; and it is now plain to every
one that restoration is not possible without
the adoption of new measures for that pur-
pose ~
If clouds had hidden the sun from our
view for months, every one would talk about
the sun, and long for its accustomed light
and heat. 1t is so about the Union. We can
not ignore it. The sooner we get back to it
the better. Every days delay in returning
to it adds to the poverty and misery result
ing from the rebellion in which these States
so unwisely engaged

REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at WALTHAM MASSACHU6ETTG

1t is made on the best principle. Its ffxme %
composed of SOLID PLATES Nor jar can In
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage Ms machinery Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Itself
famous for its novelty, as wen as for its effective
ness) and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should INACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades too costly orgenerA use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches are composed Of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted toeether,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres' "lepines'' and English Patent lie.
vers," are perfectly well aware of the truth Of
this statement. - $50 i4s ~ ts-
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make .
thoroughly gooA low priced watch for the MIN
ion, to take the place os these foreign imposi.
tons; the refuse Of foreign factories, which were
entirely unsalesble at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
iIow well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that 90 many years Of
public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this do
partment of our business Is, continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work we are at pre-
sent engaged IN the manufacture of watches Of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither.
to made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by suy-
thing made in the world. For this purpose We
have the amplest facilities. We have erected an
addition to our main building expressly FOR thia
branch Of orr business, and have Iled It with the
best workmen in, our service. New machines
and appliances have been Constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exactness. The ehoirest and most approved ma-
terials only are used. and we challenge compari-
son between this grade Of our work and the finest
imported chronometen We do not pretend 70
sell our watches for LESS MONET than toreign

diceion that for the SANE MosrY our product n

HuLsBoRoUaH AcADEMY-Gov Worth
recommends this institution to the favora-
Bile attention of the Legislature. 1t would
be well to bear in mind that one of the con-
ditions of admission to this Academy, as
stated in the advertisement by the superin-
tendant is that of faithful service during,
at least, part of the war;" If this applies
to Federal as well as Confederate youths, it
is all well enough; but it seems to us that
some explanation is necessary. This Acade-
my is under the control of Virginian, who
persisted In fighting it OUT to the bitter end,
and we shall be agrseably surprised to learn
that his institution is open alike to Federal
and Confederate youths.

Coprress---The Presidents Message.

Congress---The Presidents Message.
The issue as to the restoration of the Union
has been distinctly and finally joined. He
who is not for the Union is against it. The
question is, shall those who controlled the
late Confederacy control the Union, or shall
Unionists centrela
Congress viii meet next Monday. We
want that body ct once to say what class OF
people are to govern the Southern States and
restore them to the Union. If the followers
and parizans of Mr.. Davis are to govern, let
us know 1t at aace, so that Unionists may
make their arrangements accordingly. If the
Enthusiastically aoyal" are to govern, let us
know it, 80 that arrangements may be made
for new order of things, which will be the
beginning of insmigration to the State, of the
bringing int 1t of capital from the Northern
States, and of general prosperity. But what
ever the future may have in store for US, let
us kaew at, as Tar as it can be known. 1t is
cruel IN the government to keep this people
50 long in suspense and uncertainty.
Of course nothing is definitely known as
to the character of the Presidents message.
That document will be looked for with deep
interest. 1T will speak with no double
tongue. Andrew Johnson, whether right or
wrong in his views, is always bold, honest
and direct in his utterances. We entertain
the hopethat the document will be thorough
ly loyal, and that it will be of character to
meet the warm approval of every friend Of
the Union. II is both useless and dangerous
in this crisis to attempt to conciliate the enc
mics of the Union. There is only one star
by which the ship of State should be steered

Gov. Worth,s Assumption that Congress
is not Constitutional Body.

Gov. Worthas Assumption that Congress
is not a Constitutional Body.
Among the remarkable positions taken by
tbe " reeenstrpetedn Governor of this State,
in his late message, is that the present Con-
press of the United States is an unconstitu
tional body.
Congress can not be an unconstitutional body
with reference to the Southern States, and
constitutional in other respects. 1t must be
one or the ether If it does not exist under
and by virtue of the federal Constitution, it
does not exist at all. If Gov. Worth's as
sumption be correct, it is simply an unau-
thorized, usurping body. Its acts are in
valid The public debt is not binding. The
taxes it has levied on the people ought not
to be paid, except at the point of the bayo-
net. Its officers in this State, of whatsoever
kind, appointed and acting under laws which
it has passed, are not entitled to respect or
obedience. We have no law-making power
at Washington, and no national government,
for if the present Congress be unconstitution-
al, so were all the other Congresses during
the rebellion Such are some of the results
of the Governors assumption He is an
Union man par excellence, and yet he strikes
at the very existence of the Union in its
most vital part
And then, if the present Congress be an
unconstitutional body, the President is equal
lyso. He was chosen by the same people who
chose the Congress, and under the same
forms
1t is thus plain that even now, under the
auspices of Gov. Worth and his followers,
secession means anarchy. IF there be no Con-
gress and no President according to the Con-
stitution, then we have no government, and
anarchy must follow.
1t is our opinion that Gov Worth and his
partizans win soon learn that there is a Con-
gress. A body which Gov Worth says calls
itself a Congress, Will assemble next Mon
day. Constitutional or unconstitutional, it
will have power to dead with him, and with
all others who may dispute its authority.
