A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too intimately allied for the one to
suffer without the other, so that dyspepsia and
dependency are inseparable. 1t may be add
ed, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation OF the
temper.
The iuvigorating and tranquillizing opera
ton of Hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully
developed in cases of indigestion. The first eff
feet of this agreeable tonic is comforting and
encouraging. A mild glow pervades the sys-
tenn, the chronic uneasiness in the region of the
stomach is lessened, and the nervous restless
ness which characterizes the disease is abated.
1t is not succeeded by the return of the old
symptoms with superadded force as is always
the case when unmedicated stimulants are given
for the complaint. Each dose seems to impart
permanent accession of healthful invigoration.
But this is not all. The aperient and antibili-
Gus properties of the preparation are scarcely
secondary in Importance to its tonic virtues
If there is an overflow of bile the secretion is
soon brought within proper limits, and if the
bileary organ is inert and torpid it is toned and
regulated. The effect upon the discharging or
gans is equally salutary, and in cases OF consti-
patton the cathartic action is just sufficient to
produce the desired result gradually and with
out pain. The Bitters also promote healthy
evaporation from the surface which is particu-
larly desirable at this season when sudden spells
of raw, unpleasant weather, are apt to check
the natural perspiration and produce conges-
ton of the liver, coughs and colds. The best
safeguard against all diseases is bodily Uigor, and
this the great Vegetable Restorative essentially
promotes

A correspondent of the Fredericksburg
Herald writes az follows.

The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad.
A correspondent Of the Fredericksburg
Herald writes as follows:
1t now appears to be settled fact that the
Baltimore and Potomac Company will COM
plete their road through Maryland to the Po-
tomac river, near Pope's creek. Obtaining a
charter for an extension, they propose coming
on direct to Richmond, through King George,
Caroline, &c. This, it is said, will be the
great Southern through freight line. 1t is
estimated that they next will seek for great
through passenger line, and to this end will
diverge from the freight line iu Caroline coun-
ty, aud build separate line Of railway via
Fredericksburg to Alexandria and Washing
ton, having already secured the Long Bridge
at the latter point for their line to pass over.
This is a suggested policy on the one side, but
whether it is one Of simple menace to the line
already existing, the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad, or soberly and
seriously entertained, is more than l can a.
vouch.
Now, on the other hand, hear it conf
dently stated that there never will be two
through direct lines along this route from
Richmond to Washington. That soouer than
allow such competition the present railroad
company tthe Richmond. Fredericksburg and
Potomac) would sell out, and that they could
do this the more readily from the fact that
they enjoy franchises which no Legislature
would be willing to grant to any internal i'm
provement company at this day. 1t is very
certain that there is neither freight nor travel
now sufficient to support two lines.
l presume that arrangements have been
made looking to the junction at Occoquan Of
what is known as the Alexandria and Fred
ericksburg road with the Richmond, Freder-
icksburg and Potomac road, and if SO, we need
not expect another line of railway-that is
the extension of the frst-named within the
present decade, but do look forward to the
day, and that not distant, when line shall
be built from Occnquan, tapping the Manas-
sas road, which will put Fredericksburg into
direct communication with the Valley of Vir-
ginia.

The war In Euroue.

The most important item of news from the
seat Of war in Europe, since our last publish
ed accounts, is the capituation of Bazaine's
army at Metz to the Prussians. This event
took place on Thursday of last week. One
account says that the number of French pris-
oners captured is 125,O00, another 173 3,0O0-
the latter is, probably, an exaggeration. But
even the first named number is an "enorm-
Gus" capture. The prisoners taken at Metz
are now marching into Germany by way Of
Saarbruck and Saarlouis. Bazaine arrived at
Saarbruck Monday. Canrobert and LIE Boeuf
had preceded him, it is stated, to Wilhelm
shohe. The Empress left the latter place on
Tuesday. travelling incognita.
The first rumors of surrender at Metz in
Paris created intense agitation, and an editor
who accused the Government of Withholding
the intelligence so incensed the people that
they destroyed all the copies Of his j'urna
they could find, aud endeavored to arrest him.
1t was not deemed possible that such an event
could occur.
Deputations representing political reunions
throughout France have met at Tours, and
asketl the Government for a levy en- masse
Gambetta responds in effect that the Govern
ment had done and is still doing its best to
procure arms and supplies, but that the peo-
pie must now assist the Government in this
as in other Efforts, from which it would ap-
pear that French resources outside of Paris
are failing in a most vital department.
The Prussians opened their heavy guns on
New Breisach last Wednesday morning.
The loss of Dijon is ascribed to Garibaldi's
mismanagement, whose crude organization
proved insufficient for the emergency.
In an encounter near Besancon Garibaldi
has captured over 1000 prisoners.

.ighty:tolr colored voters (:

~In the recent election in West Virginia
the Democratic have achieved q most glorious
victory. They succeeded in electing the Gov
ernor and State officers, two out of three Con-
gresssnen and have secured majority of eight
or ten, on joint ballot, in the Legislature.
The.chvice Of q. s. Senator, to succeed Mr..
Wiley, will therefore devolve upon the Dem
ocrats. The magnitude of this victory can
only be appreciated when we reflect that a
large proportion Of the whites were disfran-
ehised, by the State laws, on account Of sym
pathy with the South during the late war
The change within the past two years has
been remarkable one, aud certainly reflects
great creditupo the Democracy Of that youth
ful State, whom we endorse as energetic and
string workers, and whose example is well
worthy of imitation here.

|weekgto 8 couhnunication from DR.. w. R
Wilmer, il which, in . somewhat defiant YET
withal vainglorious manner, he airs his
grievances, to wit: That attempts have been
made to destroy his influence" by abusing
him "from one end Of the county to the othe-.
and, admitting the charge in its full length ;sn'
bssssltt'szwe yet fsil.to see that he has any
reasonable ground of complaint, inasmuch as,
unless rumor woefully bellies him, he himself
was the party to throw the 6rst stone. b.
this true or not, it is nevertheless unqnestion-
ed that he has exhibited but little of that
meek and lowly spirit which suffers in silence
and forgives, but on the contrary that he has
repaid, tit for tat, with compound interest.
This latter fact, we repeat, is undeniable and
finds undoubted corroborative testimony in
more than Jne part of the communication we
publish to-day. Dr.. Whine. then refers to
the charge made against him OF being afraid
to meet Democrats in joint discussion and un-
doubtedly much to his own satisfaction refutes
it by aluding to the fact that he "did have
such discussion" with Hon. Fred. Stone cat
a meeting composed of Democrats and Re-
publicans. This, 'ctorling to his own show
ing, is the only instance in which he has con-
sente'l to meet a. Democrat in discussion, and
On the contrary he expressly states that he
has refused to allow democratic speeches at
Republican meetings" 1t is not for us to say
whether this should or should not be attribute
ed to fear, but knowing the Doctor as we do,
we should rather be disposed to attribute it
to well grounded knowledge of the weak

experience at BeantOwn we are really sorry
that so beautiful an exordium should have
been so ruthlessly cut short. We sincerely
pity the objector and would like to know
whether he was one of the Doctors Associates
of the greater part of bis life." In all truth
there can be but one opinion in reference to
DR.. Winners course. That be should COM
plain of efforts being made to destroy his
influences" with the colored people, is, we
think, unreasonable when we consider the
means which he has made use Of to secure
that influence. With regard to the majority
by which he pretends the Republicans will
