But the browning glory of his life re-
manned to be attained in his latest discov-
cry, or rather combination, for he does not
claim to be the discoverer of CEDRON,
which is the basis of the Bitters now offer
ed to the public. That honor belongs to
the native Inhabitants of Central America,
to whom its virtues have been known for
more than two hundred years. Armed
with it, the Indian bids defiance to the
most deadly malaria, and handles without
fear the most venomOus serpents. 1t is a
belief with them that while there is breath
left in the body the CEDRON is potent to
cure, no matter what the disease may be.
While DR.. Bull is not prepared to tndorse
this extravagant pretensiOn, he is never
theless satisfied, from thorough examin-
alton of the evidence relating to its virtues,
that as remedy and preventive for all
diseases arising from exposure, either to
changes of weather and climate, or to the
miasInatic influence, it stands without a
rival, and justly deserves the reputation it
has so long enjoyed in Central America
and the West Indies.

THE APPROACHING TRIAL.

We publish, to day, the indictment
of the Hon. Jeff. Davis, by the Nor
folk Grand Jury. The character of
the men, who composed that Jury, is
pretty fully ventilated by the Nor
folk and Richmond papers, and, from
the selection made, it is very clear
that justice is not the object of the
trial-in fact, it is desperate effort
of the Radicals to hide their own
lawless violence behind verdict of
guilty, pronounced upon the noblest
Of their victims. or the five Jury
men selected from Norfolk, the Vir-
ginian says that three were dcserters
from the Confederate army-upon
one of whom Beast Butler affixed
the crime OF perjury. The Alexan-
dria Gazette says that, of the thirteen
picked up in that city ave are, in
formed by gentleman, who has liv-
ed in the city for upwards Of half a
century, and who has held high mu-
nicipal offices, that he has never heard
Of but three, and that, from those
three, no sane man would suppose
that Petty Juryman could be Sc.
lectcd. The Richmond Wing says
the seven selected from that city, are
certainly no better than those from
Norfolk.
Perhaps the Government could Dc
no better. The men of Virginia
capable Of dealing with unsettled
theory of treason, in this country
are not to be found among thos,
who can take the prescribed oath
and therefore none but the vulga
and vicious are likely to take par
in the gravest trial that may eve
come off in this country. The Rad
icals we'll know that jury of MI
Davis peers will never find hin
guilty, because they KIN his in
nocence, and that jury of thei
peers will find him guilty because i
is part of their programme, Sucl
a trial, however, cannot impose upol
the enlightened world, and we trus
that President johnson will see tina
it shall not disgrace the Government,
by placing the fate of the illustriou
prisoner at the absolute disposal O
such Judge and Jury, A blood
farce is the cruellest of tragedies.

TRUTH OoM,aG 10 LIGHT.

The Commissieners, Gems Fuller
ton and SHERMAN, sent South to in.
ysstigate the workings of the Blu.
reau, have forwarded a report in
regard to the States of Virginia and
North Carolina. The investigation,
as reported, is manifestly superficial,
and bears internal evidence Of sup
presto peri "a Withholding a little
more that might be told. At any
rates, it discloses enough of villainy
practiced upon the negro, and of
wrong to the white man TO satisfy
any honest man that the Bureau, as
an institution, is curse to both ra-
ces in the South, disgrace to the
government and wide opening for
the display Of every phase of Yam
kee inhumanity and wholesale steal.
ing. The greatest villain dug up,
so far, is Massachusetts, preacher by
the name Of Fitz, who imprisons
children for playing on Sunday, and
hangs up their parents, by the wrists
on other days, to extort money from
them. The report gives the name of
scarcely any party engaged in swind-
ling and expressing the negro, who
is not Northern man, Astounding
in hypocracy and villainy, and try
ing to conceal, under the cloak of
religion and exalted humanity, acts
for which the penitentiary is too mild
a punishment.
The report, though made by north
ern men, will be denounced as false,
by Yankee puritans, who will, in the
same breath, accuse the South of in
gratitude because, forsooth, it will
not profess to love those who thus
systematically rob and Cypress its
people. That we may not be accus-
ed of giving vent to passion or pref
udice, VIC qnote few lines of the
report:
Among the many acts of cruelty CON-
mitted by Superintendent Fitz, we find that
he had, in two instances, suspended freed
men with cords around their wrists, with
their feet not touching the floor, and kept in
this position-in one case four, and in the
other six hours. Also that he sentenced a
freedman to an imprisonment of three
months tor trivial offense--that Of wrang-
ling with his wife. He kept another man,
who was arrested for debt shut up in prison
for months, whilst his wife and children, re-
duced to abject restitution, died with small
pox, and took him from the prison, under
guard, and compelled him TO bury his last
child in the cradle in which it died.
This is disgusting specimen Of
the deeds done in the South, in the
name of religion, humanity and lib
erty, and a sample of the character
of men-with rare exceptions-sent
here to establish peace, see justice
done and, to reconcile our people to
their generous and high toned breth
rem of the North.

The first anniversary meeting Of the Ten

the election of officers under the permanent
Constitation, which by previous arrapgemen,
superseded, on this day, the provisional Con-
stitution under which the Society has hith-
erto acted. The names Of the officers are
given below.
The meeting was rendered deeply int.
resting by several incidents. One of these
was the presence Of Mrs. +. G.. Porter, from
Nashville. This lady, daughter of Tennes-
sees illustrious statesman, Felix Grundy, and
leader in every project of charity, threw
herself warmly into the cause as soon ~ ouI
scheme for an Orphan Asylum was proposed
to her, and visited the city for the purpose
of attending the meeting. As a tangible
proof Of the zeal with which she Ind beer
advocating the cause, she brought with hel
no less a sum than s49l, the proceeds Of hel
efforts in Nashville, ten Of the subscriber:
having contributed the sum required for lift
membership. We give their names as fol
lows:

The list was headed with the subscription
of 500 by Mrs Porter herself as qualifca
ton for honorary membership as a qualifi
cation, however, it was not required, as i'm
mediately after organizing for business thu
Society unanimously elected her to that dis
tinction.
Immediately after this, General Quarle
presented himself as delegated by the mem
bers Of the bar in GAINESVILLE, to offer tn,
sum Of 800 to constitute the widow of tn,
late Alfred Robb, ESQ.,, an honorary membe
of the Society. In an eloquent address, tn
General described the deceased as first dis
tinguishcd ornament of the GAINESVILLE ba
at its most brilliant period, and as after
wards gallant othcer, who gave his life 70
the South, while Colonel Of the 49th Tennes
see Regiment, having been MORALLY wound
ed while lead ng charge in the bloody ant
disastrous battle of Fort Donelson.
The profound emotion with which thi
transaction was witnessed by the assembl,
can only be appreciated by those who wer

Knoxville and Nashville Railroad Company,
with an amendment appropriating 100000
for the benefit of the GAINESVILLE and Louis

will be concurred in by the Senate. This

SETTING THINGS RIeHT.-Major General
Gordon Granger, of the United States army,
passed through this place Friday night last,
on his way TO East Tennessee, 1t is said, by
order of the President to let the people there
know that the war had ended and that he had
so issued his proclamation. We learn that
the General has ordered all persons who
have received orders from the "Loyal
League" TO leave the State to report 10 him
and remain ut their homes; that the often.
ders shall be brought to trial and punish.
ed. The General says law and order have
to be restored in Tennessee If it takes an
army TO do it.
1t is reported that a regiment of cavalry
has been ordered to Jonesboro, and that the
Union Flag, newspaper published there
has been suspended, but we are not inclined
to believe either, though General Granger
might have intimated something of the kind
to the editor if he did not change the tone Of
bis paper.

yesterday, raised the rate of discount from
eight TO nine per cent, and the charge for
special advance ten per cent. The pressure
even at these terms was immense, and II was
only unexceptionable bills and accommoda-

ditional and most serious disasters were an
nounced. The worst was that of the COM
paratively small banks the English Joint
stock, $4,000, 900. Then came that of Peto
a Belts for f4,00o.000 then that of w.
