ALEXANDRIA, The Loudoun Enterprise says:
-"Alexandria, before the war, had started on
bright career of prosperity, but that little un,
pcasantness arrested that career in a most
summary manner. Her situation was such that
it could not be otherwise But she is by no
means defunct; she is beginning to show most
manifest signs of renovation. Her people are
beginning to give indications of the spirit of
progress and improvement, and if she can gather
iuto herself the trade to which she islegltimate-
ly entitled she will soon become city Of cousd-
cradle Importance. A great railroad centre and
soon to be a great coal depot, for which her fine
harbor eminently fits her. she will grow and
prosper until she will be able to shake hands
with Washington not across the bloody chasm =
but the sparkling pillows of the Potomac: We
hope to live to see that time. Nothing in this
world would please US more than to see Alexan-
dria on the bright road to great destiny as a
columercial city, which she certainly has the
resources and facilities to become. We love
her generous and hospitable people, aud then
she is Virginia city which every Eirgiuian
should delight in aiding to build up"

ES-A DISEASE WITH A THOUSAND SYMP-
ToMs.-Dyspepsia is the most perplexing OF all
human ailments. Its symptoms are almost inf
mite in their variety, and the forlorn and de-
spondent victims of the disease often fancy
themselves the prey, in turn, of every known
malady. This is due, in part, to the close SYM
pathy which exists between the stomach and the
brain, and in part, also, to the fact that any dis
turbance Of the digestive function necessarily
disorders the liver, the bowels and the nervous
system, and affects, to- some extent the quality
Of the blood A medicine that, like Hostetter' S
Bittcrs, not only tones the stomach, but at the
same time controls the liver, produces regular
habit of body, braces the nerves, purifes the
fluids and ministers to mind diseased" is
therefore the true and only specific for chronic
Indigestion. Such is the operation of this ia
nous vegetable restorative. 1t not only cures
dyspepsia. but also all concomitants and conse-
ounces. Moreover, it is invaluable as pre-
ventive of Indigestion No one who choose to
take hafa wineglassful of this agreeable appe-
tizer and stomachic habitualy three times day
will ever be troubled with oppression after cat
ing, nausea, sour cructutons, or any other indi
cations of II want of vigor in the digestive and
assimiating organs. The debility and ianguur
supcrlnduccd by hot weather are Immediately
N d permanently relieved by the Bitters, and
persons who are corslitutionally inclined To look
upon life 'as through glass, darkly," will be
apt 10 take II bri ghtcr and more hopeful View of
the situation under the genial influence of this
