TREATMENT OF CATARRH.

Our method of treatment for the cure Of
Catarrh embraces the thorough topical
medication of the affected regions BY a
most ingenious and painless process, by
which every part of the diseased mucous
membrane can be effectively subjected to
the most perfect and complete remedial
control.
Not only are We enabled to bring any
desired medical solution to act directly
upon the very seat of the disease, our
process also allows the remedy employed,
to be kept in contact with the affected
surface sufficiently long to exercise its full
curative powers.
The slriking advantage Of our plan Of
medication exhibit themselves in the
prompt and immediate benefit which fol-
lows treatment. Frequently, after the very
first application the fetor OF the Purulent
secretion is removed, the breath is mate
rally purified, and sensible relief from
other troublesomes mptoms is experienced
By degrees the discharge diminishes, ir-
ritation ia allayed, chronic inflammation Is
snbdued. alterations are made 10 heal, un-
til finally we succeed in re-establishing
perfectly healthy surface and normal
condition OF the parts affected.

rhe stevenson COTTON Case.

The Stevenson Cotton Case.
The New York Times Of the 9th con.
aims the following reference to the case o.
the United States Us. V. K. Stevenson:
This important case, after repeated post
ponements, came up for trial yesterday
morning. After the Jury had been sworn,
Assistant District Attorney Phelps, on the
part of the government, asked for permits
sion TO amend the information, as follows:
The original information sets forth that
at the close of the war MI. Stevenson held
in his possession 5000 bales of cotton, val
ued at 81 ,0O0, 900, the rightful property of
the United States, by virtue Of the con6s.
cation acts, and that he being then an OFF,
Ger of so-called Confederate States, dis
posed of the said cotton and used the pro-
ceeds for his own benefit.
The amendment of the Information
which was asked was to embrace certain
| transactions, not at the close of the war,
| but during the war as well.
Mr.. Ward and Mr.. Seward, of counsel
| for the defendant, strenuously opposed the
amendment, and claimed that by so doing,
the whole character Of the case would be
changed-that entirely new issues would
arise-and the old issue upon which they
were prepared to try the case would be en-
tirely set aside, and that the motion was a
complete surprise to them, and wholly un-
precedented in their experience.
After long discussion by counsel on
both sides, the Court denied the motion to
amend, and announced that the Govern.
ment would be confined to the spring and
summer of 1865, to show the conversion Of
the cotton by Mr., Stevenson.
Mr.. Courtney said he was very much
surprised at this decision, as they had ex
pected decision in favor Of the amend
ment, and 80 had prepared their OPENING
on that state of the case, but now BENZ
surprised at the turn affairs had taken, the.
would ask an adjournment until to-morro'
morning, to enable them to determine OIL
their course of action.
Mr.. Seward opposed the adjournment
but the Court held that good and suthelen
cause had been shown to grant the reqnes
and the caee would therefore stand ad
iourned until TO day, at IL A. M.

Tl.c Omnibus Bill.

The Kingston East Tennesseean says that
Senator Eaton and Representative Mason
were both in Kingston during the recess Of
the Legislature. Says that paper 1--WE
learn from Senator Eaton that the Onui-
bus Bill will be revived, aad an amend
ment offered that one or two hundred
thousand dollars be appropriated to this
county for the benefit of her contemplated
railroad. Senator Eaton is quite confident
the bill, together with the above amend
ment, will ultimately pass both houses.
We hone This NAV be the case"

In the above notice, We have confined
our remarks to Nashville proper. Had
time permitted, we would have taken
Edgefeld into our list, with her extensive
Bucket Factory, and many other branches
of mechanism. The mechanics of Edge
field are in a very fourishing condition,
and at no other point in the State are they
more actively employed.
We again repeat that in the hurry Of
preparing this article, We may, and doubt
less have neglected to mention numerous
trades deserving of place in this directo'
~. If 80 we are prepared to make the
proper amends.

Federal Court al Knoxville.

The regular term Of the United States
District and Circuit Courts for the District
of East Tennessee, will commence at
Knoxville next Monday.
ON the criminal docket there are yet
about one thousand cases Of treason. In
most OF these cases, however, no arrests
have yet been made. In the list Ct those
indicted are JEFF Davis, Gov. Harris, Gems.
Bragg, f. Kirby Smith, Buckner, Breckin-
ridge, McCown, LoDgstreet, Wheeler, For
rest-in fact nearly every Confederate
General OF Colonel, who commanded a
brigade or regiment within the limits OF
East Tennessee, at any time, during the
war.
1t is perhaps not generally known, says
the Knoxville Press and HaGid, that the
first Indictment found and returned against
JEFF. Davis in the United States for tres
son, was found at Knoxville, before the
surrender of the Confederate armies. Al
ter the capture Of Mr.. Davis and his IN
generation at Fortress Monroe, the Dis
trict Attorney for this district made formal
application to the authorities at Washing

diction Of this court for immediate trial

PAPER MAKERS.

that both establishments are giving en-

that said hands are we'll paid for their la
Dor. We saw a paragraph the other day,
floating around in all the newspapers,
stating that paper manufacturers in Mas
sachusetts are trying to make paper from
sugar-cane. 1t was little amusing, when
we remembered that one Of our paper
mills is not only trying, but really making
paper of sugar-caue. It's an accomplished
fact, and patent has been applied for and
