hest citizens chased from hill to hill, and
from field to brushwood, by men who
are confessedIy the worst in our State,
composed of identicslly the same
material as the conviets in our peniten-
tiary-our women and children terrified
almost to luRacy by theeappalling ter
rnrs with which these Villains, these
devils iucsrnate, delight to surround
them. Mr.. Editor, in the name OF hu-
uanjty, when will all this end LIS
there no hope =? Can our country be no
more at pescs without another revolu-
ton, as prophesied by some Heaven
avert another war, but any fate were
preferable to the present condition OF
bloody Arkansas and bleeding Tennes-
see, If that condition is to be permanent.
Were Gen. Grant the great man which
some sfe fsin to represent him, he would
not suffer that famous utteranee, Let
"a have peace" to be an empty gasp (;
but he would stretch forth his powerful
arm, and exercise his Rll-prevaiiing in
fiuenee to rescue the suffering South
from the greedy vultures who are feeding
on her vitais.
The foregoing is sn approximately cor
rect report of some Of the achievements
of the gallant Tennessee State Guards
upon SIS peaceful and ss orderly COM
munity as Gao be found upon the face OF
the earth. The military despots who
have usurped dominion over US, say that
this is done to preserve order and punish
crime, the civil law proving inadequate
to the task. If that is so, then, l will
undertake to say that there is not 3

An OmciaI Caution.

The following sensible proclamation
hes just been issued by Mayor Hall of
New York city. We are glad te aid in
giving it publicity:
MAYORS OFFICE,
NEW YORK, March II, 1869. J
To the Press OF the United States:
1 beg to caution strangers against New
York circulars, tickets, shares, chances
and pTsspectuses in cooperative uuiOns,
or gift enterprises, or dollar stores, or
in any other possible scheme whereby
property or value is promised greater
lhsn the price asked to be paid.
Every such an advertised scheme is
necessarily a swindle and false pre-
tence there does not and cannot taDgi-
bly, exist any.s1eh schemes in this city.
Country newspapers which advertise
them simply aid in the indie.
If all newspapers in the Union would
now make point of publishing and re-
iteTsting this inform stiOn they will char
itably, and, think, effeoiHslly counter
act the swiDdling Intentions of those
who use the mails for the false pretences,
and will also save to the uowary hum
dreds OF thousands o. dollsrs.

Mayor OF the City o. New York.

Some months ago was called to attend q lady Of
William. sburg, N Y. " no had long been suffering
from troublesome uterine disease. Its presence was
marked by constant vaginal discharge, sometimes
muco-purulent. She had been under treatment for
some time, but constantly grew worse. Vaginal ex-
animation disclosed extensive induration and ulcer
alton of the cervix uteE. The uterine in1iammat
which was evidently assuming chronic form, was
also aggravated by Iongstanding constipation, pal
pitation OF the heart. nghtsweats cough, poor ap-
petite, and almost daily faintings. She tainted to
entire insensibility during of my first visits
commenced, OF course, by such active local treat
ment as the liberation demanded, and then applied
myself to a regeneration of the general health. 1t
was inc0Dvenent TO see her frequently, and except
to mark the healing OF the ulcers the early stages,
visited her only every other week. For tonic and
constitutional invigorant Dodd's Neryine only was
prescribed. 1 had some time before become ac-
quainted with its properties and knew OF nothing
more safe or satisfactory in its probable effects And
less than fortnight the bowels had become Tree and
regular IN their movements the night sweats disap-
peared, and appetite began to grow. The fainting
Spells became less frequent, and soon ceased alto
getner. In another fortnight there was no more
cough, the vaginal discharge sensibly diminish
ing, sleep was normal and refreshing and the gem
eral health decidedly improved. What remains is
soon told. The patient continued the use of the
Nervine, land no other medcinel for some weeks
longer, when my further attendance was not re-
CURED. Since her recovery have seen her but once

health is naturally enough most enthusiastic She
never before had medicine give her such comfort
and such appetite-aDd such sleep-and such cour-
