before the war, when he lived near
Galena, the same man.. surrounded by
the same set Of men, in just the same
society as when he left his wife aud FAM lily
suffering, almost for their daily bread J,

A Periiuas Season.


Glorious and delightful us the Summer
weather is, its trupicti heat is a severe
trial to the vital powers. Even the strong
est arc sometimes prostratcd by its effects.
Tie common phrase applied to this con-
dition of the body is general debility" :"
Now, general debility arises from, and
includes q variety OF ailments. The
liver is more or less affected, tho bowels
arc either constipatcd or too much re-
laXed, tho stomach uthalf performs the
work Of digestion, the appetite is poor,
and the spirits depressed. This is what
is called general debility. It is general
disarrangement of.aN the physical ttlnc-
tions, and requires us q remedy medI-
cine that will regulate them all. Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters is specially
adapted to this purpose: Its general op-
Grafton is not.c0ntined to single organ.
II the liver is affected, il restores iti tone.
II the stomach is torpid, it re%enerates
it. II the nerves arc trcmulous and
weak, it braces and reinlorces them. If
the mind, which ever sympathizcs with
tho body, is gloomy and dcspohdent, it
relieves the difficulty, and soon brings
the whole mechanism of the body into
harmony Will lllc lilWS VI Hcdilii.
There is no civilized nation i'll the
Western Hemisphere i'll which the utin-
ty OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as Il
tonic, corrective, and anti-bilious medi-
cine, is not known and appreciated:
Throughout the Tropics it is considered,
both by the people and the profession,
the standard specific. Whilcit is medi-
cine for MI seasons and all climates, it is
especially suited TO the complaints gen
Grated Ivy the weather, being the ppreSt
and bestvegetable stimulant in the world.
Beware of the Bitters made of acrid
and dangerous Materials which unscru-
pulous parties are endeavoring to ioist
upon the people. Their name Is legion,
and the public has no guarantee that they
are not poisonous. Adhere to the tried
remedy, Hostetter's Bitters, sold only in

says:
On the 18th inst, near English's Mills
in ,hls County, one Harry Mollae, a col
orcd man, was visited late at night by
certain parties, who knocked at the door
Of his house and asked if he was in, but
not waiting for all answer, burst open the
door, and rushing in to the number of fff
teen or twenty, fell upon the struggling
Harry and threw him 10 the ground, after
which they slipped Tag or cap over his
head and tied it tight around his neck:
They then ted his hands and feet, and
carried him a - distance in the woods,
when tlev fir Is deposited him upon the
ground, ano laSing sticks beat HIM until
they thought be was dead, cut off piece
Of his ear, and untving him left him there
After some hours herecovered sufficient

He has told several persons that he re-
cognized the parties who beat him, by the
cap slipping off while the beating was adj
ministered, and that euery one of them
was negro, though there was one who
was'lighter in color than the rest and he,
said Harry, might have been white, but l
don't think so.

Gen. Banks Comes Out for Greeley.

Bosros, July 81, 1872. ).
Ny DEAR Sir have the honor to
acknowledge tv this note, in addition to
our conversation to-day, the receipt of your
invitation to address the citizens of Lynn,
on THURSDAY evening, in support of the
reelection Of the Grant policy and his ad-'
ministration. No invitation could have
greater weight with me from any part OF
the country, nor from any portion of my
fellow-citizens, and it gives NE great pleas
ure to assure you that thing could be
added to your suggestions as the repre-
sentative of the citizens of Lynn, to in
duce me to accede to the request. Their
kindness of many years ago is contlnu,
ing life remembrance, and nothing would
give me greater satisfaction than to renew
nv associations with them; but l regret
to say that I am not in accord with them
in regard to the Presidential canvass.
Against my wishes and personal interests,
I am compelled to believe and to say that
the perpetuation If the present policy OF
the Government il not for the advantage
of the country, and that it will not tend
to establish its former good and prosperity
nor to promote the interest of any class OF
its citizens. No personal feeline o. qnv
form or character enters into this. ipdg-
ment.. 1t is in view of general principles
and public interests alone that I ON led
to this conclusion.
The uniting of the masses of people of
al parties, sections and races in support
of the grand results of the war, is indis-
pensable to the permanent establishment
of general recognition of these results
it can be secured by no other m"ans. We
shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner
or later. This united action on this Hasis
has been the hope of my life. / fervent-
lv desired it during the war and in the
reconstruction of the States subsequent to
the war. I believe tits now rendered in
good faith in the nomination Of Greeley,
and, for one, cannot reject it. 1t was
what I desired; its consummation although
sudden and startling. dies not alarm me.
Ny duty to my country and myself re,
quires me to give him my support. | Can
not advocate before your friends differ.
ent course, which neither my judgment
nor my heart approves. It grives me
most deeply to separate myself, in thought
or act, from any one Of those with whom
I have so long associated, and to whom
am so greatly indebted; but l believe
that the result will justify my action, give
to the country peace and prosperity, which
is the object Of our labors, and secure to
every citizen civil and politicat equality
and freedom, which was won by the sacr-
fceo so MANY valuable lives.
Accept the assurance of my lasting
friendship and esteem, and believe me,

cy in the case Of Samuel G. Brown, aged

Shoswoll, one of the North Carolina men,
is defiant and scorns pardon, and is stud
wing law. Mir. Smith, however, sug-
gests these pardor0 should be postponed
until after the eie"..on, as it might be
thought that ciemency was prompted by
interested motives. The letter is quite
short, and 50 :uriously written that the
entire force Of experts in the attorney
generals ollico were required TO put it
in such shape that Grant might be able
to inastcr its purport.

Petty Spite,

The subjoined resolution has been
adopted by the worthy Board of Trus-
tees of tllesUniversity. The offence of
the young gentlemen named therein
Isays hesRloegiz1 is that they hooted at
Roberts and Cdmmings, the Radical
Professors elect, the latter of whom has
3 most questionable chsrartcr, and whose
appointment wasmadc solely as reward
for supposed political services, and at the
sacrifice of every interest of the institu-
ton. Aside from its petty malice, the
resolution is farcical in its Stiffness and
impotency. It cannot be enforced, un-
less Grant will send-down the military
arm of the Governpaen to do SO, and we
opine that the days Of military despotism
are-about ended. Here is a copy Of. the
resolution and the order for its enforce
ment, copy of which has been. served
on the young men named:
