MISSOURI.

In Missouri, the prosecutors of preachers have carried the election, sweeping all before them. They first disfranchised the majority, and then had an easy time in outvoting them. The war on the returned Confederates has been bloody and relentless. It can be endured no longer The result is that they are leaving the State in great numbers for Texas and other States. Another tide, wholly from the North and West is setting in to take their places. These new corners are all right on political issues, and can vote. Ot course, disfranchising laws have no reference to Radicals. The newspapers of the State are encouraging both move ments. And so Missouri must be class ed hereafter with Massachusetts in political matters.- Memphis Ledger.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April p, 1863.
 DR. JOHN BULL, Dear Sir,-Gratitude to you, as well as sense of duty to the public, requireS that I should give you statement, for public use, of the great benefit have de- rived from the use of your "Cedron eBitters. " After military service of thirteen months, embracing the Pea Ridge campaign and battle, I was discharged from the service and came home to die. Dyspepsia, liver complaint, and general debility were fast hurrying me to the grave, and every remedy prescribed by physi- clans seemed only to aggravate my diseases. About four weeks ago was fortunate enough to procure your '.Cedron Bitters." and by the use of them alone have been restored to per feet aud robust health. I can most earnestly recommend them as being all, and more than all, than they are represented to be. You are at liberty to make any use you wish of this statement. .t7 p-s-

AI~General Tochman, the dlstlng- uished Polish exile, has purchased two thousand three hundred acres of land in the Wilderness of Spottsylvania, up- on which will be located immediately between twenty and thirty Polish fam flies, who have recentely arrived in this country. The immigrants are de- scribed as intelligent and energetic, and will doubtless prove valuable accession to the county in which they are about to settle.
 R3g%Gencral Chiffon, General Lees chief of staff for some time during the war, like many other -Confederates, has set noble example to the impover- ished young men of the South, by de- voting his energies to the series of factories to be established near West Point, Georgia, by the Alabama and Georgia Manufacturing Company.
 HyaTwo hundred and eighty thou sand seven hundred and thirty-nine men lost their lives in the Federal army. One officer was killed to every eighteen men. If the chances of life and death had been equal, the proportion would have been one officer to twenty-six men. On the other hand one officer to ninety men died of disease.
 ABSURD THREATs.-Forney, in the Philadelphia Press, covertly intimates to the Southern States-or rather to the Richmond Examiner-that, if the constitutional amendment is not rati- fled, those States will be reduced to a territorial condition. Threats such as these are unwise, impolitic and puerile. Unwise, because mischief would follow their execution ;impolitic, because they would only tend to exasperate, and puerile. because they are really not made in serious earnest.-l Pittsburg Commercial. ~
