GEN. HALLEcK-O On Saturday night last
General Hnlleck and Staff returning from q
tour of inspection up north passed through
this place on his way to San Francisco.
Notwithstanding the lateness cf the hour,
many of our citizens, desirous of beholding
the man who figured so conspicuously in mil
itary affairs in the early part of the war, re-
maned up to see the General. However,
before the stage arrived quite number of
persons weakened" and went home 20 bed;
some coiled up for maps on lounges and
chairs few turned in on the side walks; !;
while others kept wide awake and on the
look out for the warrior OF Corinth. Finally,
at half past II o'clock, the stage arrived, and
as Billy Burt pulled up in front of the stage
ing strain, the coach door opened, and Gen.
Halleck and Ttaff appeared, looking very
very much like other people do who make
long trips in stage coaches during the warm
and dusty season. When the Band ceased
playing thre, cheers were given for General
Halleck, to which the General responded in
speech of thanks, chiefly remarkable for its
brevity The stage being ready, a toast was
given and drank, and amid the cheers of the
crowd, and the music of the Band, the Cen
eral departed from our gaze, and everybody
went home, to dream. perchance, of bate
fields and military glory.

ADJoURNED.-One of the most memorable
and important sessions of Congress ever held
under the Federal Constitution, closed on
Saturday last, July 2Sth. Throughout al
most thc entire session, this body, repre-
senting the intelligence and patriotism of the
land, has bravely stood eontestins the per-
sistent efforts of morally and politically
perjured Executive in his attempts to betray
the Government into the hands of the men
who only ceased legislating for its destruc-
tion when the legions of Grant were heard
laundering at the gates of their capital.
Surely to the Union members of this Congress
the loyal people, from Maine to Oregon, can
freely say. with hearts swelling with graft

LAST Tuesday evening in Shasta grand
Chinese wedding occurred-Long Lin. for
merly Of Canton, and Yong Wan, formerly Of
Hong Kong, having been united by E. w.
Potter. Esq. The Chinese had quite spree
over the affair, and were highly delighted to
witness some of the Mclean men present
kiss the bride, in spite of the smell of opium,
says the Shasta COURIER. --Flag
The above affords a fair illustration of the
vivid imagination of the Flag editor. Nothing
OF the kind mentioned took place here

IRoN.-The Shasta Courier. after giving us
a sort of slur, informs its readers that an
iron foundry is to be erected in that place.
If a soap factory and water works could be
established there, it would be the best thing
for the Courier man. We don't know as we
ought to find fault with him, however. He
writes pretty well for a man that has had his
brains knocked out-by the retirement of
Capt. Kidi' from the sanctum of that
paper.-Red Bluff Independent.
The COURIER man pays for his soap and
water. The Widow Kuntz. poor washer
woman of Shasta, will be delighted to have
the independent man do likewise.

Encouraging Defeated Traitors.

When Lee and Johnston surrendered tneir
armies, the rebels generally acknowledged
their cause as hopeless. and thousands N tue
South were ready to accept the result OF Tue
war and quietly acquiesce in the new cohu'-
ton of affairs resulting from their apostacy
to the Government. Realizing the crime
which they had committed against the union'
and knowing that they neither merlted nor
could reasonably expect sympathy from the
chosen administrators of the laws they nan
sought to overthrow, they professed them
selves willing to abide by such regulations as
Congress might impose, and only asked that
their forfeited lives might be spared.
But what a marvellous change has come
over these lately despairing people! Men
who but lately pleaded ahjectly for mercy
are exul.ant and defiant now and counte-
Aances that we're gloomy and respondent
when vicksburg and Richmond fell, are
smiling with hope to- day. And well may
they rejoice; for by the aid of that idolized
Confederate hero, j. Wilkes Booth. they not
only struck down one of the mightiest pillars
of the Union, but also captured the Execu.
tive branch of the Government. Andrew
johnson, chosen as one of the chief guard
ian's of the Nations honor by the loyal peo-
pie Of the land, has proved himself traitor
to the principles to which he repeatedly and
solemnly pledged his fealty, and turns with
outstretched arms to embrace the newly re-
vived adherents of the late rebellion. En-.
couraged by the recreancy of johnson, un-
principled demagogues are busy at work
endeavoring to reinstate anew the old ele-
ments of discord North and South; and
next month the loyal city of Philadelphia will
have to bear the disgrace of the assembling
within her limits of the deepest treason in
fec.ed crew congregated together since the
Montgomery Convention. Vallandigham.
Weller, A. II. Stephens, Fernando Wood,
Doolittle, and others of their class, will com
pose this Convention, which is to lay the
foundation of the new johnson party, to be
formed for the purpose of sustaining him in
bis efforts to hand the Government over to
the contral cf the ex rebels of the Sonth. who
would not hesitate to. use its power to restore
slavery, and ostracise all who fought for the
preservation of the Union. But we have toe
much faith in the patriotism and intelligence
af the great mass of the American people
to believe for moment that they will ever
again permit traitors and demagogues to gain
the ascendency in the republic they have
striven so hard to destroy.

STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS.

NOTHING THAT IS NOT WHOLESOME,
~ genial and restorative in its nature, enters
into the composition of HOSTETTER'S ST0M-
ACH BITTERS. This popular preparation con-
tains no mineral of any kind, no de adly botanical
element fierce excitant; but it is n combination
of the extracts of balsamic herbs and plants, with
the purest and mildest of all difus,ve stimuants.
As General Tonic, HOSTETTER'S BI1TERS
produce effects which must be experienced wit
messed before they be fully appreciated. In
cases of Constitutional Weakness Premature Decay
and Debility, and Decrepitude arising from Old
Age. it exercises electric influence In the con-
valescent stages of all diseases it operates as de-
lightful invigorant. When the powers of nature
are relax it operates to reinforce and reestabsh
th' m.
Theweak stomach is rapidly invigoraed and the
appetite restored by this agreeable Tome, and
hence it works wonders in cases of DYSPEPSIA,
and in less confirmed forms of ISDrGEsTIoN Act
ing as a gentle and painless aperient, well as
upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Con-
stipation supcrinduced by irregular action of the
digestive secretiyc organs.
Persons of feeble habit liable to Nervous At
tacks, Lowness of Spirits and Fits Of Languor, find
prompt and permanent relief from the Btters. The
testimony this point Is most conclusive and from
both sexes.
The agony of BILIOUS COLIC is Immediately
assuaged by a single dose of the stmulant, and by
occasionally resor;ing to it, the return of the
plaint may be prevented.
Last. though not least, it is the ONLY SAFE
sTIMULANT, being manufactured from sound and
iunocuous materials, and entirely free from the
acid elements present more or less in all the ordi-
nary tonics and stomachics of the day.
No family medicine has been universally and,
it may be truly added. deservedly popular with the
intelligent portion of the community, as HOSTEL

MAKING A "BLAcK' OF HrM.-In q GER
tain mining camp in this county resides q
well known veteran Of the Army of the Poto-
mac, who, having often unAinchingly faced
the enemies Of our country at the 'front.'
where death held daily carnival, is naturally
enough but little inclined to show clemency
to that malignant class who compose the iei'
wing of the rebel army. Recently iank'

Canada, which he successfully accomplished
by forced march between two days, strayeo

courage arose under its exhilcrating lnhu
ence, be launched forth perfect volley Of
expletives against the Lincoln Abolitionists'
and wound up by the elegant and pious
assertion that "all HI couldn't make
black of him." At this point Vet, who had
been a quiet listener to the speech, deliber-
ately laid down his pipe, and remark'ns l

perhead declamer, and threw him on his
back with force which nearly Jared the
breath out of him. Vet then called for a
black varnish pot setting near by. Hearing
this the already frightened prisoner began to
kick and squirm to get away, but was qul-
eted by gruff request to keep still. "
accompanied by an admonitory slap on his
ex.ravagantly protruding potato trap The
varnish was quickly produced, and amid the
hurrahs and merriment of majority OF the
beholders, Vet. literally distributed it over
the face and neck of the PROSTATE Copper
head, who was then allowed to depart with
the compliments of the crowd on his improv-
