The Secretary of War, in reply to a
resolution of inquiry, says the proba
BILE amount necessary to carry out the

for $243, 420, of which SI66, 666 has
already been supplied, leaving a re-
mainder uncalled for of $7G,753. If

An Interesting Description OF surrntt.

An Interesting Description OF ofSurrntt.
AS Surratt sits in court, with hat
removed, we see his face more clearly.
A small head, long, glossy, light
brown hair, brushed up from Full
fair brow; small aquiline nose, SO
hollow at its parting from the fore
head that q child's finger laid across
would hardly fill the indentation;
eyes gray, deep-set, near together,
earnest, secretive, but with a good
deal of composure, gained, perhaps,
in so long daring fate to do its worst;
mouth weak, half hidden by light
auburn moustache, and long, mar
row-pointed tuft of beard pendant
from the marrow chin. The face is
almost triangle, narrowing down
regularly from the forehead on each
side to the pointed chin.
moving a palm fan, noticing each
little detail in lawyer, witness and
spectator, usually serene, sometimes
smiling, through the summer days,
while the scales vibrate, weighing his
life or death. What memories must
crowd upon him! His youth at the
Jesuit College; his deep zeal for the
rebel cause; his long night journeys
with information from Washington
to Richmond; then with money and
messages from Richmond to Mon
treal; running pickets; shot at by
scouts; sad partings and glad meet
ings with his betrothed, who waits
here to take the stand and give her
woman's voice for his life; the long
Canadian hiding, going out only by
night and in priestly vestures; tidings
of the trial and execution of his ia
miliars; of the impending fate of his
mother-(for human natures sake
his counsel should prove their asser-
tion that he desired to come and save
her, but was not allowed to)-then of
her ignominious death; the secret
ocean passage; the concealments in
England and France; the half years
service as a common soldier; talking
everywhere of the one great subject
that filled his thoughts; his arrest at
the little italian village; his leap of
thirty-seyen feet over the parapet to
escape, with the connivance of his
guards; his flight to Naples; then up
the Mediterranean; no permanent re-
fuge-no rest for the sole of his foot;
his landing ut Alexandria to find the
file of Janissaries waiting to arrest
him again, and st. Marie, like an
avenger of blood, standing by to
identify him. Then ship board, pri-
son, manacles, and this long waiting
for the verdict. -Ne,o York Tribune.

THE DISEASE OF AMERICA

Dyspepsia is g; id to be the disease of
America. Its victims may be found in all
stations of life. The poor as well as the
rich are sufferers from it's life-destroying
influence. The symptoms of this disease
vary greatly in the different stages of the
complaint. 1t generally commences with
sensation of fullness after eating, and a
changeable, diminished or lost appetite.
In some instances, the appetite is vora-
cious, and when-in obedience to it's
promptings-a largo portion of food is
taken into the stomach, pain follows in
that region, with general distress, ncrv-
ousness and nausea. Flatulcncy and
heartburn invariably attend this disease.
For all these symptoms,
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
will be found an invaluable household
remedy, as its Alternative, corrective and
restorative properties arc derived exclu-
sively from roots and plants. the virtues
of which are acknowledged by pharmaceu-
tics and physicians. Separately they have
often been prescribed by the profession,
but were never combined until DR.. Hostel
ter gave to the world his
HEALTH H-RESTORING BITTERS.

LIE CHEvEs PLANTATION DHFICULTY.-The Au-
gusta (Ga.) correspondent Of the New York Times
speaks thus Of this affair:
1t hns been ascertanod beyond doubt that a
negro from Massachusetts,, named Bradley, has
been the cause Of all the troubles among the
freedmen on the Chevos plantations, near Sa-,
sary to employ considerable forco of United
States troops. This Bradley is the same who, o
little more than a year ago, was tried by mill
tary commission, by order Of General Brunnan for
exciting lnsurrection, and was condemned to a
Yeas imprisonment in Fort Pulaski but was
subsequently released. He desires to be admit
ted to tho bar of this State, but as vet has not
been anle to obtain the certificate of Judge Of
competent jurisdiction to enable him to writ,
Attorney and Councillor-at-law after his name.
from all can learn about him and his opera
tons, ne m seems to be impressed with the idea
that his Light will never shine with it's full etful-
gence until he can become the leading spirit of a
negro insurrection, and that to bring about this
result it is his duty to persuade the freedmen who
nave squatted upon estates along the Georgia and
South Carolina co .6t, that the fertile lands whicl,
they have made wilderness are thoirs in fee-si1n-
pie; that any attempt to dispossess them and re-
store the property to the owners is the troasonabe
act OF the President, and that il they res st the
outrage by iorce and arms, Mr.. Sumner and Mr.
Stevens wiI s'see them ughted." Happily Brad
leys Vaccinations have been frustrated for the
present by the energetic action Of the Commits
seasonable Intervention of United States troops
who could not be induced to listen to Bradley's
eloquence. The bellicose freedmen have Welded
and are now, it is reported, making contracts to
cultivate the lands for hire to which Bradley con-
vlnced them they had sort of right Of discovery

Tm NEW JAn~-The Legislature, at it's last ses-
sion appropriated s10 900 for the erection Of new
jail in this District, and the Commissioners Of
Public Buildings, in pursuance Of the authority
ments for carrying on the work. Plans and
specifications were called for aud several submit
ted, when t.ose, pr pared by Messrs. Kay &
The new jail is to be located on Assembly street,
on the site Of the old sword factory. It Will be q
massive prisonike building, two stories in height,
main entrances large and handsome doorway
opens into veshbule, on each side Of which are
receiving rooms for prisoners; and in the rear,
doors leading TO the interor-one to the jailors
quarters, the other to a large hail. which com
municates with the passage on which the debtors
cells open: Two flights Of wide stairs ascend to
the second story-one for the Of prisoners, the
other for the jailor only, except in of emer-
gency, such as fire. This story is divided into
three wards-one for Hhite males, one for black,
the other for females white and black being sepac
rated columbia PhEnir- g .E
The passages are wide, airy and well lighted by
strongly barred windows, and entirely surround
the cells, which are commodious, and in our opin-
ion, exceedingly strong and secure-in fact, they
constitute o jail within jail. In projection on
the south end of the building, washstands and all
other necessary conveniences are provided for the
prisoners Of each ward in the roof of this proiec-
tion, there is to be large tank, afording a CON
stant supply Of water, and from WHENCE in case OF
fire, the floors could be immediately flooded; in
deed, every possible precaution appears to be
taken against hre, as three-inch hydrant extends
to the second story, having nozzle on each floor,
for which q hose is to be provided: The system oi
heating and ventilating sppears very perfect and
thorough, there being separate heating and ven

are in al the wardsMgh single cells and three
