Aaother Confederate official has arisen
to explain about Gen. Johnson's cotton
theory. Col. Robert Tyler, who was
Register of the Confederate Treasury says
that if the Congress Of the first seven Sc
ceded States at Montgomery had been di-
vinely gifted something might havebeen
done on the cotton question. While he
thinks it sensible idea to put the South

Sherman had been well whipped be-

have been a different future for the Con

There is a revival among the colored
Methodist of Danville, Va. At all
hours of the day and night they can be
heard shouting, either at their private
houses or on the streets. A female en-
thusiast, named Price, stripped herself
of all but one article of clothing, walk
ed the house-top and sat on the Chin
ney. One negro woman said she had
been to hell and saw Spy Rose there,
another had been to heaven and saw the
Savior smoking golden pipe. There
is similar frenzy in Petersburg, where
the white citizens in some neighborhoods
cannot sleep on account Of the continual
shouting.

Marvellous Effect.
Mr.. A. r. Stevens: Dear Sir-I have used the
gaeat Blood Remedy, VEGETIFE, and feel it a
duty to acknowledge the great benefit it has done
me. In the Spring Of the yeaa 1862, was sick
OF sleep and proper rest. / was very weak and
much emaciated. l tried many remedies with
out receiving any benefit from any OF them un-
til was persuaded to try VEGETINE. Before
had taken this one week, my impoved condition
gave me renewed hope and courage continued
to take it every day gaining more strength, until
was completely restored to helath. The effect
of this remedy, in case of general debility, is in
deed marvellous.

The Jenkins of the rural press is be-
coming rather numerous in Ohio. He
is the chap who does the brilliant"
and "most- pleasant-social-event-of-the-
season" business for the village papers;
and in many particulars resembles his
famous city brother. He is not nearly
so versatile or elaborate" as the metro
politan Jenkins, nor has he at command
anything like the stock of adjectives
which the NJ j. so skilfully intersperses
throughout his descriptions. But we
have great hopes of the "brilliant" in
tellectual achievements of the rural
Jenkins We think, however, that he
should take preparatory course, as it
