baltimore LOOKING UP.-The de-
velopment of the coal oil lands of
West Virginia, adjacent to tlre Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, the Balti-
more Commercial says, has led to the
opening of IN entirely new business
from that port, viz: the shipping of
petroleum to foreign ports. The ex-
pertinent was first tried several
months ago, and was so successful as
to induce several prominent shippers
to enter into the trade, and a vessel
the British bark Horatio was cleared
for Liverpool, by G. A. Borry, with
a cargo of u, ,673. gallons petroleum
and 465 barrels (18,60 gallons) 'lu-
bricating oil. This new branch of
trade promises to assume gigantic
proportion as the development Of the
oil region progresses.

The RADICALS AND GEN. GRANT
The negro worshippers. have now got
another cause for alarm. Gen. Grants
presence and conspicuous appearance
by the side of the President, ut the
reception of the committee from the
Philadelphia vention, has thrown
them into q greater panic than any
thing that has yet happened. They
are trying to show that this was a
mere accidental circumstance, when,
in fact, the bearing of Grant and the
whole thing looked us though it was
pre-arranged. Gen. Grant is shrewd
man, and he has evidently discovered
which way the wind is blowing, and
has taken sides with the President
and the people in this contest

NApoLEoN AND THE PopE.-In a
recent letter, the Emperor Napoleon
LII reminded the Pontif1 of the ap-
proach of-the term fixed for the evac-
uation of the Papal territory by the
Franco-Italian Convention, adding
that it will be impossible to fail in
this engagement, and that it is, there
fore, indispensable for the Holy See
to provide Immediately the means
necessary for its own safety. 1t is
stated that when NJ. de Sartiges con-
signed this letter to the Supreme
Pontiff, he was much Disconnected at
the undisguised indignation of his
Holiness while reading it.

DEFICIENCY OF LABoR.-Mr. Geo.
Barnes is publishing q series of arti-
cles on our labor system, its defects
and remedies, in the Vicksburg He
raid. In one OF them, he states that
we have in the South only ne-fourth
OF the labor requisite to fully meet
the agricultural, manufacturing, COM
mercial, mechanical demands. The
greatest want is felt in the agricul-
tural and mechanical departments.
The freedmen, though doing better
than many expected, are not as a
class sufficiently reliable or numerous
to meet the necessities of the country.

OUTRAGEoUs.-A company OF ca
valry passing through this County, a
few days since, committed acts of
vandalism only equalled by the worst
men in Sherman's army. Among
others who suffered both insult and in

not only destroyed whatever they

MALARIA EvERYwHERE.- has there
been a season as fruitful as this Of malari-
ous diseases. Not only on the prairies and
in the valleys Of the West-not merely in
all the old haunts Of fever and ague and
bilious remittent fever-have these pros
tratlng diseases been unusually virulent:
but they have extended to towns and cities
never before infested with them, and have
even assembled the mountains and attacked
thousands of people supposed to have
been placed by the laws of nature above
their reach. Hence we ara compelled to
admit that a fatal element pervadcs the
universal air this season, and should at
onco resort to the only approved preven-
tive OF its consequences, HosrErrERs STo-
MACH B1rTERs-a tonic so potent, an anti
septic so perfect, an Alternative so irrcsisti-
BILE and stimulant so pure, that it enables
the human system 10 resist and battle all
the predisposing causes Of disease. With
the confidence that one clothed in iucom-
bnslblc garments might move among
blazing buildings, the man who arms hlm
self against malaria with this powcrfultie-
fensive medicine may walk afever-scourged
district fearless of its insalubrious atmos-
pherc. The intermittcnts land remittents
at present so general in all parts Of the
country, may be but the forerunncrs of
deadlier scourge now on its way Westward
from the far East. Prepare the system
with HosTErTER's B1rTERs for a successful
battle with the mephitic causes of all cpl
denies. Be wise in time. Sold everywhere.

tract from letter from Alabama:
Our funerals, Of which we have had
several, have generally been those

to like the new order Of things, and

The London Times is credited by a
radical paper with the remark that the
people of Massachusetts had attained

silver spoons are results of civiliza-
ton, and there is no other State
where these ''results" are measured
by the barrel.

The correspondent of the Balti-

The Chairman Of the National
Union Executive Committee, in con-
formity with resolution adopted at
meeting of the committee held ut
Philadelphia on the 10th instant, has
appointed the following named 1nem-

A New AND GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE
DIR. Maggiel is the founder of q new medi-
cal system! The quantitarians, whose vast
internal doses enfeeble tho stomach and
paralyze the bowels, must give precedence
to the man who restores health and appe-
tite, with from one to two Of his extraorui-
nary Pills, and cures the most virulent
sores with n box or SO OF his wonderful and
aN-healng Salve. These two great speci-
iics Of the Doctor are fast superseding all
the stercotyped nostrums of the day. Ex-
traordinary cures by Maggiels Pills and
Salve have opened the eyes Of the public to
OF others, and upon which, people have 80
long blindly depended. MaggiN's Pills are
not of the class that are swallowed by the
dozen, and Of which every box full taken
-feates an absolute necessity for another.
One or two of Maggiels Pills sutliccs to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone tho
stomach, create an appetite and rc:.ter the
spirits light and buoyant. There is no
grlping and no reaction in the form of con-
stipation. II the liver is affected, its func-
tions are restored; and if tho nervous sys-
tenn is feeble, it is invigorated. This last
quality makes the medicines very desirable
