S0ldiers' and Sailors COnven- ton.

|
 A call has been made in the North for Democratic soldiers and sailors convention, for the 2d of July, at New l Y York city. ltseems to be addressed ex- clusively to soldiers and sailors who fought for the Union. It is q call on them to consult together for the safety of that union they entered the field to save, and to prevent the power of gov ernment acquired through their instru- mentality from being used by unprin- pied adventurers for the purposes of oppression. The "Union" their arms saved is rent assunder, and the basest men it contains are trampling down principles and rights together, while, with the solemnity of saints and the hypocrisy of Judas, prate of honesty and turn up the whites of their eyes in holy horror at the very thought of re- pudiation. The soldiers and sailors cannot fail to see that they have periled life in vain for their country, and that the dead have died in vain, if they are to follow the glittering epaulettes against the very principles ofrepublican institutions, give the government into the hands of those who are most crafty in manipulating the negro, and become themselves, with their countrymen, slaves to the bondocrats-too lordly to be taxed, and selfish and mean enough to wiring gold from the laborer, while the widow, orphan and pensioner must take depreciated rags. The volunteer soldiers and the regulars of the United States are citizens, and have the rights of citizens at heart And suppose the military capacity and glory of Grant (taking it at the utmosD can dazzle or mislead them in the least Is absurd.- Familiarity with Grant, if it has not bred contempt, has certainly never had the effect to charm any to desertion of principles for his lead. The man does not live who will weigh straw against the prevailing sentiments of the coun- try. And hence, in the selection of candidate, there is but one question to ask-"is he honest, is he capable, is he faithful to the Constitution 2" We be- lieve the soldiers will be as true to that issue as any citizens.-Memphis Led ger.

 FAMILY NzwsFAPzR, And now ranks as one of the first in the State. The greatest care will be taken to make it's selections choice and instructive. A new feature will soon be added by pub fishing a story each week, or if too long, running it through two or three numbers. The political complexion of the Citizen is white-opposed to negro suffrage and score of other Radical tencts, and while opposing them shall advocate the principle that white men should rule white men.
 In times of great political danger every man should take paper, and it is more than probable that the present year will witness more political excitement and ex- traordinary political events than any pre- vious one of our nationality. Let the people assist the CITIZEN by joining in and making up clubs, and they will there- by render it powerful auxiliary in their warfare against hateful negro suffrage and the many other evils the Radical party design thrusting upon the State.

DIR. JOHN BULL,

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine instly claims for it superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, cerfaia, speedy, and perncneat cure Of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth Of the as- sertion, that in no case whatever will 1t fail to cure, if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In q great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for cure, and whole families have been cured by single bottle, With perfect restoration of the gem eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked. more es- pecially in difficult and long-standing cases Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient. however, require cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose of BULL $ VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suff- cient.

A THING ON WATER.---Ye local has long languished for an item. He has resolved and re-resolved to have one, if it had to be gotten up for the occasion. By con- catenation of fortuitous circumstances, the thing came to pass without the aid of any extraneous arrangements. It happened last night Somewhere near the hour of eleven, friendly voice was heard at our open window inquiring for his young sa tanc majesty, and informing him that a large raft of timber was in the eddy be- low the wharf which might be caught up. The information was gently imparted to us and with the glittering prospect of heavy salvage, ye local and his young majesty rushed frantically to the rivers bank, straining our optics for glimpse of the prize. It was discovered floating tran- qully adown tie moonlit surface of the beautiful and majestic river that glides in noiseless sublimity past our embryonic city In the impulse of our nature we rushed frantically forward again, and con tinuing the rush we soon found ourselves opposite the object of our then greatest desire, with canoe at hand, which soon placed us on the raft. There was some thing like two hundred larg cypress logs well pinned together. We could not find any rope to tie it with, but went to work to paddle it to the bank with two long poles. We soon found that itwas drifting towards the opposite shore. During this time about twenty feet of small rope was discovered We waited anxiously for it to run against the bank, when we could tie it with the rope we had found. One corner touched the bank and we tried to tie. The raft would not stop. We had partially concluded to let it go it's way, when some one in boat below, probably the owner, cried out, "Don't tie up tha' block of timber." "Let that raft come down P This satisfied us that the proper owner was near, and we never tied it up An hours hard paddling brought us home. Our advice is, never check up large rafl of timber in strong current, with twen ty foot rope, when the owner may be neal and object to having it stopped.
