LET THERE BE PEACE l'-Hon John B. Fell
ton concluded his very able address before the
Soldiers and Sailors demonstration in San Fran
cisco, on Thursday night last, with the following
eloquent passage -" Let there be peace. In
the mouth of the coward these words signify
only the longings of mean heart for case, even
though at the expense of honor and pride. Let
there be peace, the lukewarm patriot says, for
he cares but little for the grandeur of great
nation, whose flag commands and threatens, and
forces respect. Let there be peace says Grant.
1t comes from the heart of a warrior. 1t comes
from the horror that fields streaming with blood
has inspired 1t comes from the sympathy, gen.
tleness, and love for his kind which great man
feels. 1t comes from the lips of a man for whom
war has no terror when the safety or honor OF
his country is concerned. He would not have
uttered these words during the war, excepting on
the condition that the supremacy of his Govern
ment should be acknowledged Satisfied tnat
this is done, he utters them now as the Que aspi'
ration of his heart, the one pledge OF his poliey,
the one object to which his efforts will be direct
ed. Noble old commander we trusted you
once, when the tempest was tossing our DARK
we will trust you again, now that the sun shines
brightly, but there are still clouds in the

Mrs MARY A. BARE died in Staunton, the
18th of May, 1868, in the 9th year of her age.
Her sufferings during her protracted illness
were very severe, but were borne with unmur-
muring patience and christian resignation to the
will of God.
Through the atonement of Christ she seemed
to experience signal triumph over the fear of
death, the grave and the retributions of eternity
and for weeks was anxiously waiting to cross the
dark river and rest with the saints and the Sa-
vior on the other shore.
In her death her family has sustained an ire
parable loss, but their loss is her eternal GAIN
May they prepare to meet her in the better land
where death and parting will be excluded forev-

GENERALS BRECKENRIDGE AND EARLY
John G. Breckenridge is living very quietly at
Niagara, a little town about twelve miles away
at the eastern terminus of Thomson railroad.
He does not come to the Falls very often. He
was at the Clifton Hotel short time since with
General Early as the guest of Mr.. Claiborne of
St Louis Elk President Fillmore is also at
Niagara
Another account says:
General Early late G.. s. A., is frequently
visible in the Clifton House, to which he drives
in from his residence at Drummondsville
town mile and a half distant. He likes to
meet and converse with guests mailing from
the South. He is very bitter in his opposition
to Grant for President. He says Grant has or
had no ability whatever as General, and has
no civil capacity to fill the office for which he
has been nominated"

For the Spectator.

The quarrels that are springing up between
the regulars and the carpet-baggers betoken
trouble in the Radical camp. If the former
think to put down the latter by the assumption
of an austere dignity, they will find themselves
much mistaken. Your carpet Dagger is ire
pressible. He recognizes no superior now that
be has got footing in Congress. Office is his
God, and the carpet-bag his constitution. His
mission is not yet fulfilled. Congress adjourned
without giving him the long-coveted opportu-
nifty to pour out his long pent-up feelings. He
is like cask of new wine that lacketh vent
He will burst if he is denied utterance. There
is yet in store for Congress sue such an outpoqr9g
rne the day that it recognized the claims Of
these restless political Nomads. Rich. Wing.

the world.
They are ESPECIALLY INDICATED in the whole
class of ailments peculiar to the Female constitu
ton.
The bottled water is delivered on the cars in
cases of dozen gallons, at $40; dozen quarts
at S.
The "alum mass or salts of the water obtain
ed by evaporation and very carefully prepared is
put up in 50 and 81 walls and may be sent by ex-
press to any part of the country. Experience
has shown that these salts retain the catratipe cir
tues Of the aoater and are far the cheapest and
n most convenient method of procuring the water.
Their sale has largely and steadily increased
All orders for the water or the salts must be
accompanied by the money to receive attention.

Acting freely upon the Bowels, Liver, Kidney
and Skin, or in other words, upon all the emunc-

blood, and eliminates from the system the vital
principles of disease; and by its wonderfully in

the entire organism and restores health and Wig

In Dyspepsia and other Diseases of the Stomach
in diseases of the Liver, Spleen, Kidneys,

it is remedy of unsurpassed
Utility and Power!
The buildings here, sufficient to accommodate
about one hundred persons, have recently been
put in thorough repair, and furnished with an
entire outfit of new furniture.
The location and climate are all that could be
