SPECIAL R0TlCEs.

Let US Discuss the Great 0uestiOn.--Wha
Is the most important of ali earthly blessings
IN the estimation of every Intelligent human
being?
Clearly, it is HEALTH; for s~oundness OF
body and mind is essential to The enjoyment
of all the other good gifts Of Providence.
How. then, shall those who possess this in
estimable treasure endeavor 10 preserve il,
and how shall those who have lost irgeek to
retrieve il"
These questions have been asked I'm all ages,
hut never have they been as satisfactorily re-
sponded to as at the present day, and the an
sWers which common senSe, enlightened by
Nineteenth Century may be briefly stated
thus:
To protect the system against all influences
that tend TO generate disease, there Is nothing
like tnrtg0ratiOa.
To re-establiSh the health on a firm basis.
when IL has been lost by tmprudence or any
other cause the system ninst be simultaneously
strengthened, regulated anil purified.
These ends can only De attained through
the agency OF a preparation which combines
the attributes 81 q tHie, a CORRECTIVE, q 5}n0d
destt-sHt and an 0~IeyieuL
All these essentials are ~efectuallvb blended
in HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. They
contain nothing drastic, irritating or inlam-
mafory. The juices and extracts OF ~sanatiye
herbs, roots and barss are'their sole medic
inal ingredients, and these are rendered DIFF
fuSible by combination with the spurious es-
senee OF rye, the purest Of all alcoholic slim
ulants.
The weak and feeble, and&speclally those
suffering from biiOusnesS, indigestion and
nervousness, absolutely require the enOyat-
ing aid of this powerful tonic and Alternative
during the heated term, ana cannot prudent
~ postpone its use for a single day. a word
to the wise Is sufficient.

With many others, was gratified to
hear from Capt. II. c. Parsons through
the DAILY TRANSCRIPT of the 9th
inst. imagine l see him, as he says
standing upon high bridge Of the
Petersburgh l. Richmo nd R.R. over the
James, where you may see the most Of
the city" The Captain has evidently
taken his morning walk from the city
out upon this bridge, and when about a
third Of the way across, turns an about
face towards the late Confederate capt.
tai.
The James River at this point runs
nearly from west to east Richmond Is
situated upon the north bank OF the
river, Manchester upon the south side,
and the bridge crosses from shore to
shore but a short distance above the
falls. This bridge is over 100 feet high,
mile long. The bridge is a magnifi-
cent structure, and as many of the "boys
in blue" have received the Inequalities
of Confederate ONE upon Belle Is
land, which lies in the water just above
it, they will readily perceive the Cap
tain's mistake in locating the islands
Your correspondent points out the
Tredegar iron works, upon the Rich
mond bank, at his left hand, little dis
lance abovethe bridge, and says, 'just at
your left foot lies little island, without
tree or shrub or blade of grass, made of
cinders, in the center of the river. Along
this, its whole length, runs low hos
pital shed, light bridge connects with
the main land, aud this little pile of
cinders is Belle Isle" In this state
ment the Captain is mistaken. That
miserable spot is not connected with
Richmond by bridge, but lies some
distance further back in the river and
much nearer the Manchester shore. The
river with the islands in it is much
wider above than where the bridge
crosses, and it must be at least one
fourth of mile from the Richmond
bank and the Tredegar iron works.
The Tridegar works are in plain view

SENATORIAL CAUCUs.-W learn from
Washington kilograms that the Repub-
lican Senators, on Tuesday morning,
held q caucus to consider line of policy
upon the question of combinations.
Senator Anthony was in the chair, and
the caucus remained in session over two
hours. A running debate was partici-
pated in by nearly all the Senators.
There was determined opposition to any
action being taken 10y the caucus on the
question of appointments. Mr.. Conk-
ling and Mr.. Sumner and Others, IA
vored no action, except in cases OF VA
cancies where there is an absolute emer-
gency. \ motion was made to exempt
all cases now before the Senate, but it
failed by large majority. Then Sena-
tor Fowler said he would not be bound
by the action of the caucus, and there
upon he was invited to leave. a mo-
ton was then made to except cum
mings and Smythe. This failed, and
the caucus finally voted, 25 to s, to con-
firm no more nominations except in va
cancics or on some pressing emergency
| This has caused considerable fiutterine
among the hordes of expectants who
h ave been filling the Senate lobbies ano
hotels. There will be general siam
pede among them, for this action OF tho
caucus is sufficiently binding t. prevent
any breaking over.
