Germany Restless.

The New York HcraM correspon-
dent at Berlin, writing under date of
the Goth inst, reports as follows:
The excitement and first flush of
victory have subsidized here and in all
parts of Germany generally. 1t would
be an error fo- any one to believe that
the cnthuslasism Of the war is of the
same intensity that characterized it a
fortnight. ago. An earnest wish is ex-
pressed everywhere that the war might
end, and the belief is widespread that
it has lasted too long already. I do
not know and do rot pretend to explain
although it is undoubtedly the case that
the under current Of public feeling in
d'cates growing sympathy tor the lib
eral government Of France. In addi.
ton, the recent Imprisonment Of Herr
Jacoby, the liberal leader. and other
staunch democrats and liberals, do not
fail to impress the masses unfavorablv.
The arbitrary course OF the German
authorities awakens apprehension that
although the most triumphant results
seem certain to accrue from the war no
political benefits will be derived there
from-none of that extension of popu>
lar liberty which has been promised so
often and never granted. Last, though
not least, it is evident that no matter
how the war ends there will be no ma
terial reduction of the burdens which
have been laid upon the people by this
bloody strife.

SPECIAL NOTICES
A TOrpid system.

Sometimes, without any asslgnable cause
the physical strength and animal spirits give
way, aud strange torpor falls alike on the
body and intellect. There is little or no pain
perhaps, but the natural vigOr and elasticity of
the nervous and muscular system seems to
have departed, and an indifference to the plea
srlres of life, and even of its grave response
bll les, takes the place of tina earnest interest
in both which characterizes every well balanced
mind when in healthy condition.
This state Of partial collapse is often the pre-
monitory symptoms of some serious malady.-
1t indicates Enthusiastically that the vital powers
are languishing and need stimulant. In such
cases the effect of few doses Of Hostetters s
Stomach Bitters is wonderfully beneficial The
great tonic wakes up the system from its
browse. The secretiOns and the circula ton
receive new impetus. The relaxed nerves
recover their elasticity under the operations OF
the specific, like the s'ackened strength of a
musical instrument in the process of tun ing.
Lethargy and debility are replaced by energy
and vigor, the spirits rise, and life that almost
seemed a burden while the Sc son of depres-
sion lasted becomes once more enjoyable
That such radical change shorld be pro-
duced iy remedy entirely devoid Of the pow
erful alkalods and minerals so extensively
used i'll modern practice may seem incredible
to those who pin their faith on the medicinal
efficacy of active poisons, but If these skeptics
will take the trouble to enquire of those who
have tested the corr ctive and altera We vir-
tues of the Bitters under the circumstances
described, they will find the statement to be

and trains, several pontoon trains, mill
tary magazines, railway trains, with an
incalculable quantity Of supplies In
small arms, the gleanings of all the
battle fields and fortresses captured
ammunition, clothing, equipments
forage and provisions. The French
losses in the track of Mac Mahon's re
treat from Woerth to the Moselle are
given officially as embracing two mag
azines, 10 900 WOODEN blankets, Al, ,OOO
cloths (bags, we suppose) of rice, cof-
fee, sugar, large quantities of wine,
rum and tobacco, this latter article
alone amounting to half million OF
thalers, and tobacco is one of the prime
necessities of German army.
These are terrible losses, but still
more terrible are the losses Of France
laid waste and of her suspended pro-
ductive industry, and the loss of that
military discipline, superiority and
prestige which made France the arbi-
ter and the French army the terror OF
the Continent. All this is gone, with
the removal of that splendid standing
army with which Louis Napoleon had
counted upon a triumphal march to
Berlin. The losses of Germany in
killed and wounded in this war (the
attacking party) have been much heav,
ier than the French losses. King Will.
liam has, probably, thus lost, from
Sarbruck to the surrender of Stras-
bourg, over 100000 men but he has
still half million and more of soldiers
at his command of the same quality as
his soldiers lost. In the outset the
difference between him and Napoleon
was the difference between a French
standing army of $50, 900 men, demon
allied by luxurious empire, and tbe
vigorous armed nationality of united
Germany of 100000 soldiers, the best
disciplined, armed and equipped, with.
out exception. and the best command.
ed Of any army in the world since the
time of the first Napoleon.

1tnited States Senator.

During the past month"; anu si"'e
the agitation regarding the Cn'ted
States Senator began, most OF the
leading public men of North Carolina
have been mentioned by the Press OF
the State in connection with that dls'
t;nouished position. 1t is we'll known
that the SoUTuERNER first holsted
the name of General Matt W. Ransom
We are still Of the same mind and
honestly believe that no son of North
Carolina would 6ll the seat with more
honor to himself, or credit to his ma
tive State.
While endeavo1ing, however, in our
feeble manner, tc urge his we'll merited
claims, we have studiously refrained
from attacking in the slightest manner,
either by word or deed, the characters
of otAss gentlemen spoken of as prob
able candidates for the office. In fact,
any newspaper discussion of the rela-
tive merits Of this, that, or the other
man, can effect no good, and may lead to
much chickering's and i'll feeling. The
whole matter is in the hands of the
LEGISLATURE. the members of which we
have. no doubt will select gentleman
in every way suitable to the dlstln-
guished honor, and prove a worthy rep
resentative of our good old State.
These remarks have, however. been
advanced by reading a paragraph from
a recent issue Of the Fayetteville Eagle,
which says it does not want such "old
funkies as General Matt Ransom for [.
s. Senator
This is the first personal attack we
have seen made by any member OF the
Press of the State against Gen. Ran>
som or any other prominent candidate,
and in this, the sole instance, we are
sure that it can only recoil upon the
author:
The soldiers of North Carolina,
thousands of whom now glory in hav-
ing followed the lead of such a gallant
commander, may we'll ask in wonder
what the Editor of public Journal
means by applying such term as
"old funkey" to Gen. NJ. ". Ran
som. yanything aras meant it cer~
tainly passes beyond the comprehen-
sion of the people of North Carolina,
who now regard Gen. Ransom as q
man thoroughly identified with the
interests of his State; strictly honora-
able and reliable in all his public
transactions, in every way alive to the
political emergencies Of the hour.
We deprecate such illusions as the
abeye, and trust that our brethren of
the Press will be more cbaste hertaf
ter in their epithets, especially when
based upon such a slight foundation
or rather no foundation at all

The Present Cotton Crop

We have advanced far enough in
the cotton crop to begin to compare
it with the result of last season.
It is conceded that the present area
in cotton exceeds that of 1869, and that
there is now large excess ofthe old crop
as compared with the supply of 1869;
some ofwhich goes to diminish the pres,
ent deficiency. 1t is generally admitted
that short crops produce long prices,
and the only satisfactory way of as cer>
tanning this is by collecting the facts
AS regards the Edgecombe shipments
from Tarboro, we have the following
statement, to wit:

as the losses of the French army from
Saarbruck to Sedan in killed, wounded
and prisoners. Add the prisoners ia
ken at Laon, Toul and Strasbourg, and
this grand aggregate is swelled to $780,
coo men. The remainder of the regu-
lar standing army Of 100000 men,
with which Napoleon entered into this
war, is made up Of the column of 3a>
xtinc, estimated at 20 900 men, cooped
up in Metz. the detachment of Vinoy,
escaping from Sedan to Paris, and the
fugitive detachments, amounting to
five or six thousand men, escaping
from Sedan into the neutral territory
Of Belgium, where they were disarmed.
We may say that Of the original regu-
lar army of $50 900 men which Napo-
leon possessed when he opened this
war at SaaTbruck there are now Tex
c.uding Bazaine's army in Metz, which
may be counted as prisoners), less than
$1,000 ablebodIed men remaining in
the service Of France.
The losses in warlibe materials to
the French army are simply incalcala-
bic. They are officially reported as
including 10,28O horses, to say moth
ing of the thousands of horses killed ;
