A ReaCOn of Health.

The good things of this world have each their ap-
pointed mission.
1t is the mission of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH

ailments
For twelve years its success as protective and a
remedy have been without check or drawback 1t
is strong negative evidence of this fact, that the fl
caey of the article specific for dyspepsia bilious
ness constipation, nervousness, general debility, and
intermittent fevers, has never been questioned.
As proof positive of its Hfalabiiity in such cases
the statements of public men whose famil-
lar household words have from time to time been
given TO the world.
If its reputation is not founded in facts then truth
is shadow and the utterances of conscientious cti-
zens are of no more value than "dicers oaths"
And what is its rcPutationi Let the progress of
its sales answer the inquiry. Where twenty dozen

~During the winter of 1861 and 80
the Hutchinson family was ordered from
within the lines of the Army of the Poto
mac, because they sung Songs of Freedom
There was universal indigurtion manifested
at this prescription; however, many ac-
knowledged that there was some excuse for
this, as the yoke placed upon the neck Of
Liberty by Slavery had not yet been broken.
But President johnson, denying the results
of the last five years work, has lately for
bidden the officers of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau to aid in the circulation of The Blight
Way, little paper published in the inter
ests of the celored race. At this the peo-
pie are not surprised. 1t is a consistent act
on the part of "Moses!" He is only doing
that which will please the rebels, of this he
has their assurance by their example. A
few months ago the States of Georgia and
Mississippi passed acts forbidding the sale
of northern illustrated papers in the book
and news offices of their respective States.
The next thing will be their ransacking
the mails for all northern papers, as in the
days of Pierce and Buchanan. Be patient,
as popular minister said few sabbaths
ago in one Of our churches, "God is not de-
throned, the Devil don't reign, the Lord
will have the majority, and win in the long
rum" We can bide our time, the light
cannot be crushed out forever.

Further about the Railroad.

A committee of the Directors of the B.
q w. railroad have made the following re-
port: -
"They have caused careful survey to be
made of the line, and have found it to be
much more advantageous" ".and practicable
than they had originally expected. A care
ful and thorough examination of the coal
regions at the southern terminus of the road
has fully confirmed the fact that the road
passes through inexhaustjble fields of Btu
minous coal; that it is upon the direct
route to the great Anthracite coal beds of
Pennsylyania,iand that both can be brought
to Buffalo, over the proposed rout, cheaper
and more directly than by any other route
The read will pass through the most fertile
and thickly settled portion of Erie county,
On. Y and cannot fail to develope pay
ing local traffic. 1t conn ections with al
ready established roads also make it the
most direct route between Buffalo and
Philadelphia, Baltimore or Washington.
Aside from the direct local advantages to
our city which must inevitably follow the
construction of the road, there can be no
doubt, Judging from the facts above stated,
that the road will prove remunerative in
vestment to its stockholders
We also report. that the Directors have
already contracted with Messrs. DeGraff,
Smith g. Co,-responsibe and well-known
buildes-for building ank equipping the
whole length of the road from Buffalo to

N Gen. Simon Cameron, in introduc-
ing Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, at the meet
ing held in Harrisburg, on the first of Au-
gust, said : "He was glad to see so many
people present on SO short notice. He
counseled energetic action. He pronounced
President johnson a bad man, .faithLess
to has promises and an enemy to has coun-
try. The question was if poor and honest
negroes should be murdered in cold blood
after the rebellion, and whether handful
of white men in South Carolina should cast
the votes of the negroes who were inexpe-
rienced. Every leading traitor should be
hung, (cheers,) and we ought to insist
upon President Johnson's advice, that trea-
son should be made odious" Gen. Cam
eron's opinion is the opinion of the loyal
masses Of the whole country, and we thank
him for having put it in words. He is
now. as he was in the first years of the
war, among the advance guard of Liberals,
and if his advice had then been taken, much
blood and treasure would have been saved
out of the wreck of the past five years, and
to-day rebels would not be taking vengeance
on the innocent and shedding the blood of
the loyal. A cool, clear-headed, and far
sighted statesman, whose conclusions are
the result of reason, no one within her bor-
ders represents the keystone more truly
than Simon Cameron.
