To those three medicines DR. j. Il. Schenek, OF
Philadelphia, owes his unrlvaled success IN the
treatment of Pulmonie Consumption, The Pull

A CHAPTER OF FACTS.

Space is valuable in a newspaper, and 1t Is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to con-
dense variety of facts, important to the public,
into a small compass. Those facts refer to Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters-what that celebrated
medicine is, and what it will do. In the first
place then, the article is stimulant, tonic and
Alternative, consisting of a combination of an abb
solutely pure spirituous agent with the most
valuable medicinal vegetable substances that
Botanic research has placed at the disposal OF
the chemist and the physician. These ingre-
dents are compounded with great care, and in
such proportions as to produce preparation
which invigorates without exciting the general
system. and tones, regulates and controls the
stomach, the bowels, the liver and the minor
secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered from what it has done. The case OF
dyspepsia OF any other form of Indigestion, IN
which it has been persistently administered with
out effecting a radical cure is yet to be heard
from, and the same may be said of bilious disor-
ders intermittent fever, nervous affections, gen.
eral debility, constipation, sick headache, men
tai dependency, and the peculiar complaints and
disabilities to which the feeble are so subject. 1t
purifes all the fluids of the body, including the
blood, and the gentle stimulus which it imparts
to the nervous system is not succeeded by the
slightest reaction. This is a chapter Of facts
which rea ers, for their own sakes, should mark
and remember.

The New French Govern ment.

1t will be remembered that when Napo-
leon was about to leave Paris to take com
mand of the army, the Empress was made
Regent, and invested with the same pow
ers as the Emperor would have exer-
cised had he been in Paris. But no sooner
is Napoleon away from his capital than he
is, as it seems, forgotten, and a new gov
eminent is organized in Paris-that of a
Committee of Defense-and Paris is now,
as it ever has been, France
The Committee of Defense, which may
be called a civil body with a military head,
regulates all local matters, and even takes
upon itself the functions of Project of the
Police, which caused great dissatisfaction
among Napoleon's special adherents, but
the satisfaction and support of the people
of the city more than overcome and si-
fenced the opposition from. this source.
The head of this committee is Trochu,
and he directs all the movements, for the
success of this movement depends largely
upon the character of one man, General
Trochu. We confess we know nothing
against his fitness for the crisis, except the
fact that he has been a writing general
one of the class from which Gen Halleck
and Gen. Mcclellan were selected We
do not subscribe to the sentiment once
expressed in private by the late Admiral
Farragut, that no man was ever of the
first class both as a fighter and a writer
for, az was well said in reply at the time,
there was certainly one Julius Cesar who
had very good reputation in both these
capacities. But the mere fact that q man
is a good military author is no sort of
proof that he will prove eminent for prac-
however, that while Gen. Trochu's pub
lished works have largely contributed to
his reputation, he has, nevertheless, nc
quilted himself well in all the commands |
hitherto entrusted to him. At any rate,
if he cannot save Paris, it is not known
who can. The next ten days will settle
the question.

imperial power, in fact, attested by his
wholesale Punishment Of suspected or dis
liked persons. In a short time the Minis
try will Withdraw from Paris, taking with
them the shadow, as they have already
given up the substance, of the national
authority. The first symptom of this al
ready appears in the suggestion Of the
Journal ODiciel, that eight ten prnrni-
nent public men be appointed to take
charge Of so many Of the Departments of
France-such, probably, as may become
the seat of war movements-thus sum-
marily setting aside the Projects and the
whole imperial system. Thus do the
"strong governments" as they are called,
show how much they are worth in great
exigenoies.

The Vermont Election.

The Vermont election is one of the
earliest of the fall elections, and no one
can tell how much its results will en-
courage or dishearten those who are Ia
boring earnestly for the common success
in the doubtful states and congressional
districts. The very fact that there is
much general apathy throughout the
country among Republicans, and that the
recent elections have encouraged the
enemy, should rouse in every true heart
a sense of the necessity of more en-
result in Vermont; and we
feel sure that to produce such result,
it is only necessary to make its necessity
apparent When the bells are rung and
the cannon fired, which announce the
election of Stewart and Dale, they ought,
and we trust will, at the same time an
-ou.aoo thirty thnnsand MOI nrity for the
of the Republican party. Ii
all who have called themselves Republi-
cans will at this time bury the minor
ouestions. about which some of them have
DISPUTED, and remember that the union
of the friends of progress can only be Sc
cured by mutual concessions, such
result will be assured. til is the glory of
the Republican party that it is not COM
posed, like the Democratic, of those who
are united because of their adherence to
everything that is old, and opposition to
all that is new, but of those who are seek
ing in many different ways to carry out
the principles of the progressive 18th CEN
fury. 1t has also in the past been its glo-
nv that its members have always been
ready to sacrifice individual theories for
the sake of union. Let us prove that this
is still our glory and the words which
Vermont will speak on the first Tuesday
of September will have no uncertain
sound, but will convey to Pennsylvania
and Ohio challenge to which they will
not fail to respond. We call upon every
friend of the country to spend the next
week in work, hard Freeman.
