Tie Military Company.

A cali will be made upon our citizens In
few days to solicit aid towards the new
military company, which will be composed
of the first young men of the city, and who
expect liberal response to their call. The
company viii be an ornament to the city,
and all should be ready and willing to reu-
der such aid as is within their power. Let
it not be said of Nashville that she has seen
her best days. There was q time once
when she was in the shade Of no city in the
United States, and why should she be nov?
All should contribute as much as they pos
sibly can, and soon our city will have a
company, and probably a regiment, OF
which we will feel proud, as We once we're
of the famous Rock City Guards Of days

Happily Welded.

The many friends of Benjamin A. Saw
RE, the pleasant clerk of the Maxwell
House will be glad to learn that this gentle
man was yesterday morning married by
the Rev. DR.. Kelly to Miss Jennie Ford, at
Iuka, Mississippi. Immediately after the
ceremony the newly married pair took the
train and arrived in this city last night, the
journey here being the most pleasant either
have ever yet enjoyed. May their future
journey in life be as pleasant. The bride,
a young lady of truest womanly culture
and intellectual attainment, could not have
entrusted her happiness to heart more
manly or gentleman more estimable In
character than to her happy husband

Although there were twenty OF these rep
tiles, the gentlemen commenced battle and
killed all of the number. The boss reptile
carried ten rattles, was forty-two inches
long and a foot in circumference. The
others, which were young ores, as they had
one button, measured each three feet 10

'sTo be weak Is miserable"
Never was a truer sentence written than
this-supposed to be wrung from the Arch
fend In his impotence and agony. Every
victim of nervous debility, or Of that de-
pressing languor which is one OF the &C.
compartments of dyspepsia and biliousness,
can testify to the misery Of mind sRd body
which they involve, The motive power Of
the system is partially paralyzsd; the mind
is haunted by anxiety ard fear; and the
sufferer Is as incapable of applying himself
energetically to any kind Of business as il
be were unGer the beDumbing influence or
catalepsy. This terrible mental and physi-
cal condition need not, however, be en-
dured for forty eight hours by any human
being. Plantation Bitters is an absolute
specific for all the torments which de-
ranged stomach, a disordered Ever, and
shattered nerves superinduce.
