A New BooK--On the lst of February
Messrs. Drake & Co., proprietors of the eel
ebrated Plantation Bitters, were to have
issued the first number of their new book,
entitled Morning, Noon and Night The
first edition printed will be five million copies,
by far the largest number of books ever
printed at one printing in America. 1t will
be done on beautiful white paper, in the most
approved style, and will require ten thou
sand reams of paper, besides the twelve hun
dred and fifty reams of cover paper, which
will be beautifully illuminated in the highest
style of art. Two Of Hoes presses have been
constantly at work for four months, and yet
the whole number is not more than half
printed. 1t promises to be one OF the most
complete and interesting books of the kind
that has ever come from the press, and will
contain full and complete history and origin
of the celebrated Plantation Bitters-the
meaning of the mysterious trade mark. ). 1.
lS60-X., etc. etc. 1t will also treat fully Of
the medicinal properties and virtues OF the
well known tonic. and will also contain
correct and comprehensive calendar, with
astronomical observations of the sun, the
moon and the stars for 1869, with full astro
logical predictions by one of the most scien-
tifc and celebrated astrologers in the world.
The reading matter will be both interest
ing and instructive to all classes of people.
1t will be beautifully Illustrated by the we'll
known artists, Knapp & Co, and will abound
in anecdote, wit and bumor, the whole ex-
pense attending the publication will not be
less than one hundred and sixty thousand
dollars. When we take into consideration
that this vast number tf books are to be given
away, and that they can be had by every
body without money and without price, F"
we can but marvel at the enterprise and en-
ergy of the publishers. Surely Messrs. Drake
& Co must have confidence in the virtues of
their preparation, when they willing to
invest SO much money to merely let people
know that there is such tonic as Plantation

DIsGRAcErIL ScENE.-On the 10th inst.
the Senate and House of Representatives as
sembled in Joint Convention to witness the
counting and announcement of the Electoral
vote by the President of the Senate. The
vote stood 2l4 for Grant and Colfax and so
for Seymour and Blair, including the vote of
Georgia. When it came to counting the vote
of Georgia, Butler objected, but the vote was
counted in spite of his objection, whereupon
Benjamin became exceedingly wrathy, and
pitched into friend and foe indiseriminately,
and hurled invectives right and left. Others
replied to Butler in terms the reverse of CON-
plimentary, and for awhile disorder and con
fusion reigned as in the days when the
chiyalry welded the cane and brandisbed
the bowie knife and pistol in the halls of
Congress. Every Republican in the land
will unhesitatingly condemn such disgrace
ful proceedings in Congress, and Butler, Van
Horn and others will probably learn useful
lesson from the result of their hot headed
ndiscretion.

AERoLITE INcIDENTs.-Mr. Durfor, who
was driving McDonalds Express wagon on
the day of the Bald Hills phenomenon states
that he distinctly saw the flash of the meteor
from near the Terbush place, and was greatly
surprised at the occurrence, as the sun was
shining brightly, and no indications of
storm were anywhere visible at the time
When the report occurred w Miller, of Eagle
Creek, was at work in his mining claim,
some distance from the house occupied by his
family. Remembering that he had several
kegs of powder in the house, he Immediately
inferred that they had exploded, and so ran
to the house, expecting to see his family
annihlated, but was agreeably disappointed.
The explosion heard at Bass, on Still
water, and at Woodman's, on Little Cow
Greek.
GRANTS SENTINENTs.-On receiving Off
cial notification of his election, on the 18th
General Grant made short speech, to the
effect that he intented to make economy and
official faithfulness the chief basis of his ad-
ministration. lie stated that he had already
settled on his Cabinet appointments, but
will not even let those whom he has chosen
know of the choice until he sends their names
to the Senate for confirmation. lie adopts
this course to avoid the pressure which other
wise would be brought to bear by the parti-
sans of this or that favorite. lie also re-
marked that all appointed officials would
have to rigidly perform their duties or receive
their dismissal. Grant means business.
