REGATTA. notwithstanding the Indictment
weather prevailing yesterday, regatta took
place ON the Potomac, and was one of the most
interesting that has ever occurred on the waters
in this vicinity The boats that started were
the Emma Latham, Fannie Bell, Spray, and
Fannie. The race commenced at | II. III. and
was from Washington to Fort Washington and
back. On their return the boats passed this
city in the following order and time:--Spray,
459 Emma Latham, 5:o!; Fannie Bell, 5;o44;
Fannie, sos. At this point the race was very
exciting Just above Alexandria, the Fannie
passed the Fannie Bell aud Emma Latham,
and then the Fannie Bell passed the Emma
Latham. \ igh wind was now progressing,
and fine time was being made. The final re-
suit of the race is us follows: The Spray pass
ing the upper stakc-boat at 5:5S; the Fannie,
at 5:,o}; the Fannie Bell, at Cos, and the Em-
ma Lnthon, at G:U%!; the Fannie taking the
second prize. Opposite Fort Foote, the Fan
ME ran ON to mud bank, it being low water
NJ this time she had the advantage OF the
Spray, and had it not been Tor the accident
would, it is thought, have won the race.

mosphcric changes are trying to the constitutions
of even the robust. The chilling temperature of
the nights, as compared with the almost summer
warmth of the days necessarily exercises an I'M
healthy, influence on all who are exposed to it.
Hence dysentery, diarrhGa, intermittent fcvers,
bilious attacks, ard arrangements of all the secre-

to escape them is to meet the causes with a pro-
tective and invigorating medicine uostettcr's
Stomach Bitters are designed for this exigency.
This powerful vegetable specific relieves the
system of all acrid humors, puriics the fluids,
tones the secretive organs, promotes healthy
evaporation through the pores increases the ac-

and regulates the bowels. To do this is to make
the whole body vigorous and render it proof
against the vicissitldcs of temperature, and
against malaria. a course of the great tonic and
Alternative is therefore in all cases advisable rs Il
preventive at this season. If on the other hand,
the mischief is al ready done, and intermittent or
