You Haven't Tried Them.

Victim of debility, who is responsible Tor
your feebleness? Not yourself, you will
say, for you've done all you could to cure
it. That's a mistake on your part.
You havn't tried Hostetter's Bltters.
Gloomy dyspeptic, with an uneasy stom-
ach and woIld-weary face, of course you
don't think yourself responsible for your
own torments. But you are. 1t is easy 10
see from your condition that you haven't
tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Bilious sufferer, it is not your fault, you
think, that your symptoms grow worse day
by day, Blue pill doesn't do you any good.
Very likely. But you can be brought round
for all that.
Why haven't you tried Hostetter's Bit
tersg
Friend, on whom fever and ague alter
nately blows hot and cold, and whose brain
seems to be on bursting with the effects of
some powerful drug, do you assume the re-
sponsibility? .. no! You've taken piles
of quinine, and all the regulation medicines.
What could you do more! One thing more
the very thing that would have exempt
ed you from all the pangs that now rack
yOu.
You have never tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Nervous invalid, what have you to say
You plead that you have taken all the ner-
vines of the pharmacopeia. If they have
done you no good. il Is not your fault. You
are not responsible. Wrong, all wrong
You have, in reality, nobody TO blame but
yourself
why haven't you tried Hostetter's Bit

For all the above-named complaints, the

Statement.


The truth is that on last Friday night. the
18th inst party of young gentlemen, all
of tohO1n had SerUed in the Confederate army
toere informed By gentleman, also dn er-
Confederate soldier and Democrat, that the
Ku-klux were in town, and were at the
Court house.
Without generalization and little or no
consultation, all went in search of arms !;
some of the party had been hunting that
day, and had double barrel shot guns loaded
for deer; these guns were involuntarlly
taken and when the fact that party OF dis
guised men were in town was indisputably
ascertained. these gentlemen, assisted by
others who had been informed thereof re-
haired at a moment s.notice, to the point
where il was ascertained that the disguised
party would come. and were not ambushed )
and the writer was deputed to halt them,
which he did without arms, and they were
bv him informed that if their mission was
one of peace that they would not be mo-
Tested. In response to this shot was fired
from the ranks of the disguised party,
which was soon returned from the citizens,
and alter an exchange of number OF shots
the Ku Klux, or whatever they call them
selves. dispersed in great haste In the
melee a man by the name OF billiard VINO
was in full disguise, was mortally wounded,
and did afterwards die after the most care
full attention on the part of four good ply
gicians aided by the citizens and officials
Five horses and mules in the affair were
captured, three of them wounded-all rigg-
ed in fantastical paraphranelia- and have
since been returned TO their owners.

A SOCIAL LETTER. have receiv-
ed social letter from very young lady
friend of THE CLARION, who now resides in
the far-off North, though a'Mississippian by
birth. She tells us that her school mates
call her "Rebel," and make fun of the Con-
federate grave decorations, and that her
teacher encourages it, and says that "we
SHOULD not be allowed to decorate the
"graves, because it was an insult to the gov
"ernment; that we are conquered people,
"and our dead should be forgotten; that it
sis our duty to the Union to forget them"
To which she replied, that 1.-THE noble men
"who fought and tell for us would never, neUer
''be forgotten" She says she would liked
toIhave been in IIazlehurst to assist in the
decorations; and that she hoped she would
some day be able to put flowers on Con-
federate soldiers grave. We know that she
is true-hearted and brave little Mississip-
plan, and we trust her wish may be graft
fed She closes by expressing her regard
for THE CLARION, for which we are very
much obliged. We hope she may never have
cause to fall out with The CLARION, and
that she may keep the memory of our gal
liant dead erer green ir her heart. We copy
her closing paragraph entire:
"My father, suppose, is the only person
sshere who takes THE CLARION, paper we
~would not do without. You have no idea
chow much pleasure we take in reading 1t.
Il look for it with much more pleasure than
Il do any letter, and that is saying consider
sable for girl of my age"
Our little friend Jennie must let US hear
from her again.

GOV. ALCoRN ENDORSED.

And now. sir, in this connection | desire
to refer to the unfounded charges that have
been mode upon this floor and in many
northern newspapers against Gov. Alcorn.
He has been denounced as recreant to tine
Republican party, and also to his official OBJ
legations, for acting upon convictions such
as | have just uttered. In order that he
may have the privilege of stating his own
case to this House and to the country, | beg
the Clerk TO read his telegram. addressed to
the Mississippi delegation in Congress, and
dated April 2
The Clerk read Gov. Alcorn's dispatch.)
Mr. Barry Gov. Alcorn shows from the
records of the auditor of public accounts
that under the civil administration violence
is decreasing. the number of murders in six
months being less than one half what they
were under corresponding period of mill
tary rule. | am fully satisfied that if Gov.
Alcorn does his duty in good faith he both
can and will put down the incipient rebel
lion in a way in which military rule
never could reach it. OF his intention
and capacity to meet his obligations | see
nothing in the fact hitherto developed to sug-
gest any reasonable doubt. The charge OF
JohnsOnizing, of going over to the rebel
camp, of winking at violation Of the law in
order to ingratiaJe the ku kluX party, is an
uncharitable suspicion, sustained by no facts
that have yet been alleged.
| contend that the gentleman's charges,
(Ben. Butler's) and insinuations against
Governor Alcorn are grossly unfair and
utterly unsustained by the facts.
Sir. Governor Alcorn has been uniustly
assailed. His Republicanism is above sus-
picion. He never acted with the Democrat
lie party, in which corrupt school the gen
tleman from Massachusetts who assails him
received his political education. IL is un-
fair to judge his acts without understanding
the situation and the motives under which
he acted.

Additional from the New Orleans
Overflow.

NEW ORLEANS. June 5.-The body of Geo.
| A. Freret, Vice-President OF the Union
Bank was found in the new canal CHS morn
| ing opposite Hogan avenue; was last seen
I at Half Way House Friday evening. Joseph
Fersoud was drowned in the Canal street
canal yesterday.
The inundation is extending, and now in
cludes all that part of the city west of Frank
| lin street, between the old and new canals.
The water in Lake POnchartrain is receding
slowly. The Ponchartrain railroad, from
GENTLY Station to the lake, is six or eight
inches under water, though the cars are still
running.
Capt. III. G. MeComas shot himself Thurs
day, and died last night. Cause-pecuniary
| embarrassments.
The flood is increasing. The water is as
far up Canal street as Rampant with the eX-
ception of the neutral ground on CanaI
street, which is now entirely covered east OF
Claiborne street. There is an unbroken
sheet of water from Villerie street to the
Metairie Bridge, and from the New to the
Old Basin-an area OF five or six square
mles-including about 300 thickly inhabited
squares.
The sufferings of the inhabitants of this
quarter, especially among the poorer class
es, is very great. Thousands, living in Sill
Gle story houses have moved out; while
most of those living in two story houses
have been compelled to move to the second
floor Back of Claiborne street, on Canal,
there is an average depth of two feet OF wa
ter. The city authorities seem to be doing
all they can to alleviate the sutferings ofthe
people. Every available boat and skif has
been brought into use. Policemen may be
seen moving in almost every direction, rem
dering such assistance as they eau-moVing
those who are in danger and distributing
provisions to the needy.
The damage by this overflow cannot be
estimated with any degree of certainty
The shrub5eTy and gardens have all been
ruined, houses damaged and property depre-
ciated.
The overflow directly from the lake of the
GENTLY road quarter has caused heavy
loss in the destruction of many fine market
| gardens.
Milneburg and the Ponchartrain railroad
station is still overlooked. The water is re-
ceding slowly. A train came through from
| Mobile yesterday on the Chattanooga rail-
road. A passenger reports about four miles
| of the road under water. Jackson railroad
passengers, who came in this morning re-
| ports that the road is under water for seven
miles north of Pass Manchac.
