Our Dormant Energies.

Our bodies are not as vigorous nor our
minds as clear as they might be. This re-
mark is true OF OF least two-lhrds Of CIVILIZED
society, and Of these two-thirds probably one
half is laborlnz under bodily inhrmities Of a
character likeI, TO shorten the lives Of the
sufferers. THIS is melancholy exhibit ami
furnishes abundant food for reflection. Can
the evil be mtigated II can. Lack OF Vi
tality is the primary cause Of most of the
physical and mental suffering 10 which We are
subjected, and therefore yitaIizng medicinal
agent tie remedy required. Is there such a
medicine; There is. iostetter's stomach
Biiters will rouse and encrgize the mind and

comparatively dormant stale. The Ianguid,
feeble, Responding invalid is not aware oil The
latent energies that underlies bis debility. lie
thinks there is no element Of yigor left ia bis

bilities are only asleep and merely req1Ir.
waking up. Let him stimulate and tone his
animal mach merry aud endow il with new mo-
tive power, through the agency of this incom-
parable nvigorant, and he will soon feel like
a new man, or rather like man who has re-
ceved q new lease Of life, and the requisite
health 10 onioy it, Many business men suffer
from chronic languor and depression caused
by too close application to business. Hard
students are often oppressed with melancholy
from like cause. Mechanics and working
men are affected in the same way as a result
of over-labor. To all who are in this condl-
lion, from whatever cause, IostetIer's Stom-
ach Bitters will prove signal blessing. 1t IS

COMMISSIONERS TO ASSESS TIE RAIL
ROADS FOR TAXAToN.-COl. Jas. Evans,
of Morgantown. and Hon. G. b. Wag-
goner, of Point Pleasant, two of the
Commissioners appointed to assess the
railroad property of this State, met IN
Palkersburg, OH the 2Sth of April, for
the purpose Of entering upon their du-
ties. The third member OF the Com
mission, Mr.. Ohio Williams, of Writ,
had declined to serve, and no one had
been appointed in his place so far as the
other two had learned. They therefore,
thought best to adjourn until the 25th
of Nav, ut which time they will meet in
Wheeling. The officers Of the b. d Q.
Il. r., have already made the report re-
quired by the Code to the State Audi
tor for the main stem and Parkersburg
Branch, and the Pennsylvania company
for the Pan Handle. The Iemptield,
the Laurel Fork, the Winchester branch,
the small portion Of the Martinsburg
and Potomac road within this State,
and the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroads,
have failed to report as yet
We understand that the Chesapeake
81 Ohio Road claim to be exempt from
paying taxes by virtue of a provision in
their chatter to that effect; but, on the
other baud, it is claimed that the eX-
empting provision is clearly unconstitu.
tional, and that it is the duty of the
Commission TO assess 1t and let the
question of taxation be adjudicated by
the Courts. We are not advised rs to
what course the Commission will take
in the prcmiscs.-UhPeiing Register.

GENERAL BRAGG.-A reporter Of the
st. Lcuis Globe lately intervie we'd Gen.
Bragg, who was in that city, on the
subject of the battle of Chickamauga,
and the many disputed points concern
ing it. Next to Vicksburg this battle,
in which General Bragg commanded
the Confederate forces, was the most
important in the Southwest. 1t appears
that he had not really as many men in
Ii, command as has since been suppos-
ed. He went into the battle with So
600, and before o'clock in the morn
ing he had lost 1900 of them, OF
these over 10000 were killed and
wounded. The Federal loss was also
very great. General Bragg is repre-
sented as emphatic in his statement,
that he could not have followed mp his
victory by capturing the Federal army,
which he estimates as two 10 one or
more than his own. He promised the
Globe reporter to write more accurate
statement of the matter when he reach
es his home and has access to his papers
and documents.

A REMARKABLE RELIGIOUS MAMA
The Petersburg virginia. News makes
mention Of j singular mania among the
colored people of the cockade city. Re-
ligious reyiVals of the most exciting
character have been going on in the
churches for some time past, and the
colored population generally have be-
come so confused" that in many cases
their condition actually approaches that
of positive lunacy. The same disorder
broke out in Kentucky few years ago,
and was called by the medical men ''the
Kentucky jerks The News says {:
"That it is disease is very sure. Yes
terday morning the streets in the upper
portion Of the city were resonant with
shouts, groans, and mumbled prayers.
About mid day in frcnt Of the Harrison
street colored school, a scene took place
which defes description. Perhaps one
hundred children, from eight to fifteen
years Of age, were mingled in mass OF
dancing, bowling humanity-all repeat
inc the same formula, all making the
same wild gestures, all using the same
tone of voice. Bedlam was holding a
high carnival of maniacs, and discipline
was lost in the chaotic frenzy. The
ciddy mass surged hither and yon,
while teachers vainly commanded, en-
treated and implored the enthused chill
dren to come to their studies, but they
might as well have talked to the wild
waves of the sea when the storm king
held his court. Higher and higher rose
the tumult, till physical exhaustion,
brought relief, alike, to the perplexed
teacher and wearied child. We feel
real anxiety concerning the result of
! this extraordinary hallucination in our
city. Without doabt many will become
raving maniacs, while the mental power
of hundreds will be injured for life.
Expostulation is thrown away, and there
seems to be no remedy but to wait until
the storm eXhausts itself"
! The same journal says that in many
respects the disease resembles the terri
/ BILE visitation which came over Naples
in the Seventeenth century, when st.
Vitas' or st. Johns dance took the form
of an epidemic and spread over the en-
tire city, and recommends that the
schools be closed until the epidemic is
oyer

TIE THRoCKMoRroN CASE.-In Sat
urday's Sun we published an account Of
a trial which occurred recently IN Lou
isvile, in which Major Throckmorton
was plaintiff and Miss Ellen Goodwin
was the defendant. The plaintiff
charged the defendant with following
him for period of years from city to
city, alleging that he had tried with her
virtue and affection. The Major denied
the story in toto, and charged that Miss
Goodwin was luhatic. The trial was
to determine this point. On Thursday
last the trial was closed. The court
room was thronged, doorways and cor
ridors and extended out into the street.
Judge Bruce briefly charged the jury,
who, after an absence OF ten minutes
only, returned with verdict that the
defendant is of sound mind. Whenthc
last word of the verdict was pronounced,
the crowd gave vent to a deafening
burst of applause. Miss Goodwin was
much affected, and with difficulty re-
Trained from joining in the general shout
Of joy.-BahO. Sun.
