flew* and ©titft | SOLDIKKS AFTER TIIE Wlß. —Macaulay, in the por tion of his history relating to the state of English so ciety at the close of the great revolution, touches on a subject curiously paralleled in our own times.— Speaking of the fears that were then entertained as to the result of dUbauding Cromwell's army and throw ing its unruly elements back into society, he says : 'The troops were now to be disbanded. Fifty -housand men, accustomed to the profession of arms, vere at once thrown on the world, and experience eemed to warrant the belief that this change would produce much misery and crime—that the discharged veterans would be seen begging in even' street, or would be driven by hunger to pillage. But no such a result followed. In a few months there remained not a trace indicating that the most formidable army in the world had just been absorbed into the mass of the community. The royalist themselves confessed that, in every department of honest industry, the dis carded warriors prospered bevond other men; ♦'.at none was charged with any theft or robbery: that none was heard to ask an alms; and that, if a baker, a ma -on, or wagoner attracted notice bv his diligence and sobriety. Ac teas, in all probability, out of Olive ft old soldier s." MKN'TAI, EXERTION*. —It has been asserted by per aons whose intellectual powers were of the highest order, and whose industry was as remarkable as their ftbiiitt, that more than six or eight hours every day could not be employed effectively by the generality of young for the purpose of mental improvement.— If this be the case—and it is probably not very far from the truth—in vain does the ambitious student rob nature of that sleep which Providence has mnde necessary for the renovation of the exhausted pow ers of the mind: and in vain also does be attempt to combine simultaneously the efforts of mental atten tion with bodilv exercise, or to pursue his severer studies during the hour of meals.— Prof. Kidd. THE GOLD DISCOVERIES IN* MICHIGAN. —The De troit Free Press savs : "We have some more facts in reia'ion to the gold discoveries in Van Buren county. On Wednesday last Messrs. E. Smith, W. S, Wiggins and J. 11. Tattle went across the marsh where the first discoveries of gold were made, and commenced working in the small streams that come down from the hills, where they obtained coarser gold than has yet bean found, and that which is known by the mi ners as'shot"gold. Eight pieces were obtained in one pan of dirt and each nan contained more or less gold. This has increased the excitement, an d many people are now prospecting among the hills. The quartz rock in that vicinity has indications of gold ; it has also other minerals, such as iron, quicksilver and the like. COFFER AX TEA CI I.TCRE IN CALIFORNIA. —The cultivation of coffee and tea promises to become an important business in California. One nursery at Sacramento has over five thousand coffee-plants on trial, and it is believed that there will be no difficulty in bringing up the plant to a standard of hardiness to weather the mild winter of that climate. Near the Mission Dolores several thousand tea-plants have been raised during the last year. The tea-plant is grown in China and Japan very extensively in latitudes cor responding to all California, and the San Franisco journals think there can be little doubt that it will be little doubt that it will be cultivated hereafter, for household purposes at least, on every farm in that State. — Gard. Monthly, A MADMAN'S FEKUNGS.— The Tier. Robert Hall, in "Green's Reminiscences," in allusion to his first attack of mania, says All my imagination has been overstretched, You, with the rest of my friends, tell me that I was only seven weeks in confinement, and the date of the year corresponds, up that I am bound to believe you, but they have appeared to me like seven years. My mind was so excited, and my imagination so Kvelv and active, that more ideas pass ed through my mind during those seven weeks than in any seven years of my life. Whatever I had obtained from reading or re fleet km was present to me.' 1 Zixc. —A large proportion of the public may not be aware that the use of zinc vessels for domestic purposes is extremely dangerous. Vinegar, eider, wine, and in fact, all acids which have remained in zinc, become poisonous more or less violent; this is even the ease with ntflk, which contains a powerful acid termed acid latque. Various cases of sickness, eholic. and even mamr deaths of young children, have oeeured, the cause of which have deen clearly traced to the aae of milk that has been in contact with this metal. A MARTTAI. BUFFOON-. —There is often a buffoon at tached to each Rnssain company, who amuses his comrades by his jests and antics, and is generally a great favorite. On one occasion in the Caucasus, when the troops were driven back by the Circassians, the buffoon was wounded and left behind. A favor ite jest of his had been to crow like a cock ; and as he lay on the ground, he thought of the only way to save himself and crowed. This hail such an effect on his comrades, that they rallied, charged again, and saved him. THE MEMORY of Jefferson was dishonored by a dis union celebration of his birthday, at the Broadway hotel, New York, Wednesday evening. The compa ny was small hut select, and ex-Governor Seymour of Connecticut and C. C. Burr made the only speeches. Burr declared that cowardice of the dem ocratic party had ruined the country. Vallandig ham was toasted as "the champion of liberty," and another toast enthusiastically received was: "The presidential contest of 1804—A fair vote or a free fight." JAMES T, once went out of his war to hear a noted clergyman, who, upon his entrance into church, left his text to declaim ag-'nst swearing, for which the King was notorious, b nen he had finished, James thanked him for his sermon, but asked him what con necton swearing had with it? "Since your Majesty rame out of the way to hear me." said the clergy man. "I could do no less than go out of mine to meet vou." Is THE curiosity department of the New York fair was a mutilated one dollar greenback, which had been pierced with rebel bullets and afterwards taken from the dead body of a private Union soldier killed in battle. His mother sent it to the fair as the only contribution her limited means would allow her to : and last Saturday a patriotic lady was so much and so s®nsibly effected hy the touching historr of this bit of paper money that the bought it for a hundred dollars* THE LEOISJUTTKE of this Stntc adjourned on Thurs day the sth inst. The apportionment and appropria tion hills were passed as also a bill to purchase the fine building on Front street, belonging to the estate of Wells Coverlv dec'd. as a residence for the Gov ernor, at a cost of S2O 000. The much needed en largement of the Capital building has again been postponed, on the score of economy. The bill in creasing the pay of Judges and members of the Legis lature has failed. 'How do I look. Pompev," said a young dandy to his servant, as he had finished dressing himself. 'Elegant, massa: you look as bold as a lion.' 'Bold as a lion, Pompey ! How do you know? You never saw a lion. '(), yes, massa, 1 seed one down to massa Jenks,' inde stable.' 'Down to Jenks,' Pompey? Why you abominable fool, Jenks' hasn't got a lion ; that's a jackass.' 'Can't help it, massa, you look just like him.' THAT rtixsmiocs STRAXOER, whose sudden and mysterious debut in Johnstown recently, we noticed last week, to wit, the frog found snugly imbeded in a chunk of solid rock, has died. Nothing is known to a certainty, but it is supposed he "piped out"' of a broken heart at finding himself the matter of say a thousand years behind the genius of the stirrngi, be wildering times wherein we lire, and into which he was so violentvy precipitated. Poor frog! The Chicago Times, noted as one of the foremost peace organs in the country, frankly takes ground against the conclusions arrived at by Congressman LOXG in his now famous speech. It argues strongly against any movement looking toward a recognition of the confederacy, and denies that any considerable portion of the Democratic party are disposed to take that ground. A REC EXT French work says that every 10,500 years the waters of the oceans and seas pass faorc one pole to the other—everybody drowsed, of courae. This "singular phenomenon. rr the book says, occurred 4200 years ago, go that we hare 6000 yeare to spare before thenett, which, go tar at we are concerned, is consolatory. The verdict of the Coroner's jury at Wasdinaton io the case of Margaret Duvall is that she died ot pnen mon in. There was not a particle of evidence to BUS. tain the allegation of abortion. Miss Ihivall was one of the cierks in the T reaury Department, about whom there have been many reckless stories told of late.

UFFICE of COMMITTEE ON LAEOR, INCOMES A REVENUES, No. 118 SOUTH SEVENTH STREET, PMII A DELE HI A, APRIL 4TH, 1864. The Committee on "Labor, Incomes and Revenncs." in vite co-operation with them in the particular work for which they have been appointed. As no portion of the people are more patriotic than the working men and Wo men of the country, it is bat just and proper that they should alike hare an opportunity to contribute to the ob ject of the Fair. The most equable plan for accomplish ing this, and, at the same time the easiest one, is to ask for the contribution of a SINGLE DAY'S LABOR from all classes iu the community. Many will contribute a day of their labor willingly, who would not subscribe their mon ey. TO reach every department of industry and ar'. will be a work of great labor, uut if attaiuad, will be productive of iumiese results. The success of the plan will depend upon the hearty co-operation of every element of influence within our lim its aud we invito all the guardians of the industrial inter ests, and all others, to take hold with us in furthering this great work of pasriotism and humanity. The Committee is charged with the following duty, to FIRST. —To obtain the contribution of" one day's labor." or earnings, from every artisan and laborer, foreman, op erative and employee; president, cashier: toller and clerk of every incorporated aud unincorporated company, rail road and express company, employing firm, bank, manu factory, iron-works, oil-works, mill, mine nnd public of fice; from every private baukerand broker, importer, auc tioneer and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman ; design er, finisher and artist; publisher, printer and mechanic; from every government oflier, contractor and employee; grocer, butcher, baker and dealer: farmer, horticulturist aud producer; from every mantua manker, milliner and female operative: every individual engagod in turning the soil, tending the loom, or in any way earning a liveli hood, or building a fortune within the States of Pennsyl vania, New Jersey and Delaware. SECOND. —To obtain the contribution of one day's "Rev enue," from all the great employing establisements, firms, corporations, companies, railroads and works. 1 Hinto. To obtain the contributions of one's income from every retired person, and person of fortune—male and female—living upon their means, and from all clergy men lawyers, dentists, editors, authors and professors : all other persons engaged iD the learned or other professions. Much of this work must bs performed by the personal influence aud efforts of ladies and gentlemen associated, or to be associated with the Committee in carrying out this plan. The Committee feel tho responsibility of the work they have undertaken, which, to be successful, will require a very perfect ramification ot their plan, and they therefore call upon all earnest people, to assemble themselves to gether in every town, tow nship, and county, and form or ganizations of ladies and gentlemen to 00-operate with them in this great work and labor of love. In the manu facturing counties, the coal and oil regions, and in the agricultural districts, —especially, let there be organiza tions in the large towns, so that the young people may have an opportunity thus to render assistance to their rel atives and friends fighting the battles of the country in the armies of the nation. Ihe work of this Committee may be prosecuted where no other effort can he made for the Fair, as in the mines of the coal regions. A day's earnings of the miners, and a day's product of the mines, can be obtained, where no | portable article could be procured for transportation.— indeed there is no part or section of these States where the day s labor may not be obtained, if organizations can be formed to reach them. The Committee cannot close without urging upon all Proprietors of Establishments, the duty of taking prompt and energc ic action to secure the benefit of the DAT or LABOR from all within their control. The Committee deem it unnecessary to do more, than thus to present the subject to thejpeople of the three States named, In the coming campaigns of our armies, the la bors of the "Sanitary Commission" will be greatly aug mented. By the first of June 700,000 men—one of the largest armies of modern times—will be operating in the field. So large a force, scattered over regions to which the men are unacclimated, mast necessarily carry along with it a large amount of sickness, suffering and death, to say nothing of the gathered horrors of the battle field. These sufferings it is our bounden duty, as men and Christians, to relieve. A great and enlightened people, enjoying the blessings of a government of their making, CANNOT RES USE assistance to men suffering to maintain its authority, and we will not believe that the "GREAT CENTRAL FAIR," drawing its products from the three States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so af fluent in all mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth, shall fall behind any similar effort which has yet been made for the relief of the Nation's children. As it is desirable not to multiply circulars; no further authority than this circular will be necessary for any em ploying firm or company, or any respectable committee of ladies and gentlemen, to proceed at once, in the work of this committee; aud it is hoped that under it, organisa tions will spring up in all the towns and bury regions of the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Subscriptions will be thankfully acknowledged in tke newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable that they commence soon, as each fresh acknowledgment will stimulate efforts in other lucidities. All subscriptions should be addsessed to JOHN W. CLAGHORN, Treasurer, office of the "Committee on La bor, Incomes and Revenues," No. 116 South Seventh Street, Philadelphia.

For salt at the Bargain Store of i G. R. AW. OSIER, I HOSTETTER'S Celebrated SIOIUH IN. A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective and alternative of wonderful efficacy in disease of the STOMACHH LIVER AND BOWELS. Cum Dytpepsla, Liver complaint, Headache, General de bilily, Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, Constipation Colie, Intermittent Fevers, Cramps and Spasm,, and a |[ Complaints of either Sex, arising from Bodily Weakness whether inherent in the system or produced by special causes. Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and restorative in its nature enters into the composition of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters This popular preparation contains no mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element; no fiery excitant; but it is a combination of the extracts of ran balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mild est of ail diffusive stimulants It is well to be forearmed against disease, and so far as human system can b protected by human means against maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmosphere, im pure water and other external causes, Hostetter's Bittera may be relied on as a safeguard. In districts Infested with Fever and A que, it has been found infallible as a preventive and irresistable as a rem edy, and thousands who resort to it under apprehension of an attaok, escape tha scourges and thousands who neg lect to avail themselves of its protective qualities in ad vance, are cured by a very brief course of this marvelous medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being plied with quinine for months in vain, until fairly saturated with thnt dangerous alkaloid, and not unfrequently re stored to health within a few days by the use of Hostet ter's Bitters. The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works wonders in cases of Dispepsia and in less confirmed forms indigestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aperients, as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the di. gestive and secretive organs. persons of feeble habit, liable to Hereout Attack*, Low nett of Spirit*, and Fit* of Languor, find prompt and per manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on this point is most conclusive, and from both sexes. The agony of Biilious Colic is immediately assuaged by a single dose of the stimulant, and by occasionally resort ing to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented. As a general Tonic, Hostetter's Bitters produce effects which must be experienced or witnessed before they can be fully appreciated In cases of Conttitutional Wenk- Premature 1 teeny and Debility and Decreplitude arising from Old Age, it exercises on electric influence. In the convalescent stages of all diseases it operates as a invigorant. When the powers of nature are relaxed, it operates to re-enforce and re-establish them. Last, but not least, it is Tke Only Safe Stimulant , being manufactured from sound and innoxious materials, and en tirely free from the acid elements present more or less in in all the ordinary tonies and stomaehies of the day. No family medicine has been so universally, and it may be truly added, deterredly popular with the intelligent portion of the community, as Hostetter's Bitters.
