WHAT rs Known OF us.-Among the

we receive relating to Puget Sound, not
. few exhibit q degree of ignorance Of
the geography Of the country which is
truly remarkable, or would be but for
the fact that land rings and spectators

serts that the $500, 900 subsidy paid
by the Government for the ncou
agement of the enterprise was more
than counterbalanced in dollars and
cents by the kilograms transmitted
free Of charge by III, Government

THE MILITIA BUSINESS.

In times of peace prepare for wal
is evidently the maxim that guides
Governor Furnas in his recent war
like preparations. When the Gov
ernor appointed his first Adjutant
General we were disposed to look
upon the exercise of this higher law
%HrtiaR. asI RvmattteaF, Of Hers. COZ;
His E~xcellency was a very proper
person for such a position. inasmuch
as his constant presence at the State
capital enables him to attend to any
requisition for arms or munitions oil
war in cases of extraordinary emer-
gency. When apprised Of the ap-
pointment Of a second Adjutant Gen.
eral, at Schuyler, we were disposed
to ridicule the performance.
Now, that we are assured that the
Governor has gone into the whole
sale commission business, we are be-
ginning to look upon this sudden
manufacture Of generals, colonies,
and majors, from a more serious
standpoint. According to the Bea-
trice Express, II. w. Parker, Esq,
Of that city, has received a brigadier-
generals commission, with the title
Of Engineering Chief Of the State
militia, and the Omaha Republican
informs us that Mr.. L. T. Test, of this
city, holds another brigadier's COM
mission as quartermaster-general,
while DR.. Wilkinson, of Dakota City,
has been dubbed a surgeon-general.
Now what does all this mean ?
Where does the Governor derive his
authority for issuing these commits
sions? Why does he issue them at a
time Of profound peace? Before en-.
tering upon any argument touching
the legality Of these commits sions we
must assume that the Governor OF
this State is to be guided and con-
trolled in all his actions by the con
stitution and lawsof this State, which
are the foundation of all his powers
and prerogatives. The Constitution
Of this State makes the Governor the
COMMANDMENTS Chief of the military
and naval forces Of the State.
On the other hand, the constitution
clothes the Legislature with the sole
power to organize the militia and
provide for their government. Sec
ton 20, article Legislature, reads as
follows: "The Legislative shall de-
what persons shall constitute
the militia Of the State, and may
for organizing and disciplin-
ing the same in such manner as shall
DO prescribed by law" In other
the Legislature shall frame
The laws for the organization Of mil
and the Governor shall execute
.hese laws. Now, the only provis-
ons made by the Legislature for the
organization Of militia, will be found
upon pages 470, II and ~, of the
statutes. That act Is sub
tantlally as follows;
Section ! designates the persons Ii
bile to militia duty. Section 2dsclares

The ability Of the human body to resist tho
causes Of disease depends upon It's yieor and
upon the regularity With which tho several or
gisns perform their junetions. In the winter
the most prolific sources OF sickness are damp
and cold, ana Il is therefore wise and pr'ldcnt
to fortify the system against them by whole
somo stimulation. Hence it is that Hostctters
Stomach Bitters prove such an admirable safe
guard against the complaints most common at
this season. The Ingredients OF this powerful
vegetable lnvigorant comprise three essential
medicinal elements which act simultaneously
upon the digestion, the circulation, the secre-
tions, and the nerves, infusing strength and reg
ulraity into all. In thisway the Btters. put tho
body In the best possible condition toescape an
attack OF rheumatism, fintermittent fever, or
indigestion, or bilioushess, or OF pulmonary
disease. Cold and damp are very depressing I;
almost as much SO as excessive heat, and pro-
tectlve medicine is quite as needful in winter as
in summer. The commercial stmulants so
unwisely taken in the form Of drains to keep
out the cold :" have n pracisely opposite effcettO
that produced by HOstetters Bitters. The first
result is succeeded by n reaction which deNital-
izes aud prostrates the system while, on the
