its readers, find the following:
After Gen Grants failare to fight it on his line il
It took all summer after his loss of thousands of men
by massng solid bodies of troops against well con-
strueted breastworks which in effect just like dash
ing mans head against stone wall, President Lin
coin became discouraged and went to Hampton Roads
with Secretary Seward, where he met with official Con-
iederatc officers and civilians Mr. Lincoln, according
to the Chief Justice of North Carolina there said that
the South could have had peace on condition that the
negroes thereafter bern should be free at the age of
twenyone and be also suggested among other things
that large sum OF money might be paid as compen-
saon for the liberated slaves This fact IL presented
as one Of many just comments upon campaign which
was to end in the early part of the of 1864
which continued far into the spring of 1865 and which
cost US over $4,000 men with not third as many
lost upon the other side

saw mills are running to supply the lumber. About

INDICATIONS OF THE GENERAL RADICAL PANIC A;
SEEN IN WAsHINGToN.-A Washingt special dispatcl
to the New York World, says The fact that the Re
pubieans are in panic is everywhere apparent here
In the departments on the streets, at the hotels and
at the public resorts the evidence is everywhere that
from cause they becoming more fearful OF the
results in November each day. Even those who have
been most sanguine of success are becoming nervous
and responding and all admit that if victory ispossi-
BILE under any circumstances, it can only be achieved
through the hardest and most expensive prosecution OF
The canvass.
The Republicans are everywhere counseled, ia their
prints through their speakers and by every means to
be vgilant and active and is SO hardyas deny
that Seymour to-day stands in point of estimate four
times the chance of election he did when he was first
nominated and that his chances are daily strengthen

that unless Congress holds session in September the

what good sessionof Congress will do them, but they
do nothing without and they want anything that
promises hope.

SIAM.--A history Of this comparatively unknown
country has recently been published in Paris AS the
author announces himself the Consul of the Su-
preme King OF Siam, the particulars OF the informa-
ton conveyed may be looked upon as authentic Siam,
it is stated, is country Of monopolies. The reye-
OF the royal treasury are derived from imposts
laid upon agriculture, commerce and trade There are
fixed upon the cultivation of the fields customs
duties the sale Of all kinds Of merchandise and upon
all vessels entering leaving ports in the realm. Ar
rack, tobacco, OIL palm leaves, charcoal, wood, fish,
and ores are all monopolies the Government grant
ing the right to deal III these to individuals or compa-
MES at certain rates. The entire revenue from all
these sources amount to about $40 600 00o.
The mode of collecting these imposts is simple. The
King chooses certain mandarns in each district whose
duty is make the collection and deliver the money
to the Chief Of the Pages. This functionary keeps
book wherein the various sums paid and by whom
paid into his hands, arc recorded, He shows this at
stated periods to the King who veri6es the amounts
and the whole is then deposited in the royal treasury
The King is therefore, the sole administrator Of the
public funds
The value of the exports from Siam in 1864 amour
ted to Sc 0500 OF which $500 600 worth were sent
To North America and So 600 600 to China The chief
article Of export il rice. The other most important
products exported sugar, salt fish, lakewood, cot
ton, and butalo-horD. The country Is rich in metals
and precious stones Copper the metal in COM
mon USE The Siamese workn1en excel in the manu-.
facturc Of gold and silver work. and of silk scaffs and
sashes The national language is chiefly monosyllablc
and is called the Thai language The religion is pure
Buddhism, but the present King is exceedingly liberal
and tolerant of sill creeds in bis dominons.

AN ELEPHANTS ExAMPLE.-The Gailatin Tenn.
Examiner relates the following amusing occurrence
On the day Of the late crcus and menagerie exhibi
ton, after the performance, the young elephant &C
companed by his keeper was EN- route to the cars tt
take his departure for Franklin Ky. The keeper OF
passing the saloon Of Billy Love, happening to remem
Der that he had previously found there first rate mxee
drinks, entered, and was followed By his Young lord
ship, Whether the latter had H4uorish TOOTH We
don't know but in he on the hunt for something
good, too. long trunk is good thing to reach over
behind the counter to find out and over it went feel
ing about 1t toueheda tub Of broken up ice, ready
for uleps. It felt cold out lot Of it down his
throat it went and went the trunk with its Gun
ming fingers if fingers they be, until the contents OF
the tubs were all swallowed.
The search behind the counter was resumed but de-
veoping nothing eatable up it came and raising the
lid ofhe sugar bowl soon emped that of its sweets.
Unlike his master, whose tastes ran on alcoholic mix
lures, it avoided strong drinks like good Son of TEN
perance. Finding nothing but few, apples and
peaches he ceased his foragng and took good look
at the fine pictures Of horses hung around the room
Ihin king doubt that he bad seen one of them be-
fore in bis travels and had few along With him in
his own show.
By this time the Keeper had cotton his fill, and
bidding Love good bye" put off for the train, with
Sclpio Africanus following grandly after him. We
have often heard of the, " bull in china shop but
neeer hefnre Of an elephant in drinking saloon.

Some people think that Chronic Dyspepsia
may lee cured by exercise and diet alone. This
is a mistake. The Stomach must be stimulated
and regulated, and the liver and the discharging
organs put in good working order before cure
can be effected Such is the operation of HOS
LETTERS BITTERS.
"They tone the stomach, set the liver right,
And put the stomach in such healthful plight
That good digestion waits on appetite
Many persons fancy that Fever and Ague can
be avoided by adopting unusual precautions
against damp and cold. Never was there .
greater fallacy. There is no absolute safeguard
against malarious maladies, except HOSTEL
TIERS BITTERS.
"To brace the frame and make it ague-prOOf
To keep the causes of disease aloof,
There is nothing like this genial vegetable i'll
yirOrant So, too in cases where there IL pre-.
disposition to bilisusness; the constitutional
tendency is combatted and held in check by the
Alternative action of the BITTERS.
Diet and regimen are powerful allies OF judi
cious medical treatment when tie preserra
ton Of health in insalubrious localities is tue
Object in view. But they will not answer the
desired end alone. Use them as aids to the
BITTERS but de not rely upon the efficacy OF
any formula that does not include this admira'
BILE tonic
The BITTERS consist of an unauthorized
vegetable essence unrivalled among stimulants,)
medicated solely with herbs and roots of &C
knowled virtue as tOnics. 1t is agreeable to the
taste and perfectly harmless. Even TO children
of delicate constitutions it may be given with
perfect impunity In fact, with these, as with
those of older growth, its wonderful recuperani
properties are at once apparent.

Most Ri1ferS

Of the present day that are loudly pulled
through the newspapers rs having great tonic
aud curative properties are vile compounds and
base impositions, containing no medicinal vir'
tues whatever, and are really very poor whisky
beverages; and, instead of acting ~ stimulant
and tonic, have n tendency to weaken the stom.
ach by entirely destroying the coating. The
public should therefore be very cautious, and
purchase none but ROback'S Stomach BitterS,
which have stood the test as n remedial agent
for many years, and are really, "a their name
indicates, a stomach bitterS and not bererdge.
They combine the properties of the best tonic
and stimulapt-a gentle laxative, an efficient
anti. bilious agent and the best stomacbic known
to the world and, when taken i'll con junction
with RObGck's Blood Pills are the safest aud
surest preventive against all bilious derange-
ments, thoroughly regulating the whole system
and giving tone to the digestive organs.
They are highly recommended as an invigor-
ating tonic to mothers while nursing, increas-
ing the flow of milk, and for cOnvalescents, to
restore the prOstratiOR which always follows
long .continued sickness, they are unsurpassed
No household should consider themselves safe
from the ordinary maladies without these inval-
liable medicines. They can be obtained of any
druggist in the United States. marl3'lm
