President Johnson's Household is thus
organized under a law passed by Congress at
its last session :—Private Secretary, Robert
J o h nson; Assistant Secretary, Robert Mor
row ;__Secretary to sign Land Patents, Edward
D. Neill; Aides-de-Camp, Colonel W. G.
Moore, Lieutenant -Co]. Wright Rives, Col.
Andrew K. Long. L.
General Pickett's Case..—The public 'hares
little for any new revelation of the President's
compliance with rebel prayers or demands,
but it will be grieved to learn that General
Grant used his pen to secure clemency to this
well-known rebel leader, who is doubly infs•
mous for shooting twenty Union North Caro
linians, at Plymouth, we presume, who bad
served in our ranks. General Grant, in his
letter to the President in behalf of Pickett,
says; " General Pickett I know personally
to be an honorable man, but. in this case his,
judgment prompted him to do what cannot
well be sustained, though I do not see how
justice, either to the friends - of the deceased
or by fixing an example for the future, can be
secured by his trial now. It would only
open up the question whether or not the
Government did not disregard its contract
entered into to secure the surrender of an
armed enemy."
The State Department has been officially
informed of the appearance of the rinderpest
in Switzerland. The energetic measures to
check it, it was believed, would speedily

and transports for Vera Cruz is now said to
be fixed for next week. The vessels are ex
pected to reach their destination about the
middle of January.—Rome.—This morn
ing the French troops ev9kuated the Castle
of St. Aneglo, the French flag was;hauled
down,and free Pontifical colors hoisted. The
29th regiment has left France.

Count Montebello, has informed the Pope
that if he withdraws from Rome, the French
troops hereafter will give him no support
whatever,—London.—The Fenian troubles
in Ireland are increasing. Another regiment

—Paris.—The Aloniteur of this morning
has a telegram, dated Mexico, December 3d,
and signed by Bazaine and Castelnau, which
says Maximilian is still in Mexico.. As the
evacuation must be completed in March, it is
urgent that there should be no delay in the
arrival of the transports. The mission of
Sherman and Campbell—who left Vera Cruz
on the 3d—appeared to , be of a most concilia
tory character.
Two more Explosions. -Barnsley, Thursday
night, Dec. 13.—A third explosion took place
at the Oaks Colliery at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. There is no longer any hope for those

hundred . men went into the mine this morn

dead bodies have been brought out of the
pit.
Dec. 14. Paris. —Under the new organi
zation the French army, with the •usual re
serves, foots up about 1,200,000 men. Such
a mighty standing army in times of peace
will have no good effect. —Rome. —The an
ticipated troubles in this city, consequent on
the withdrawal'of the French troops; have
not occurred. The city is tranquil. The
idea that the Pope has an intention of leav
ing the Holy City is universally abandoned.
The Explosions. —l3auly : —Eightypftve of
those who went into the mme at Talk o' the
Hill on the morning of the explosion, are
known to be dead. All the dead that have
been recovered were, buried on Sunday at
Talk o' the Hill. The ceremony was deeply

explosions occurred this monun.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1866
ence.—The Italian Parliament was opened
Friday. The King, in his address said that
he would respect the territory of the Papal
states. He hoped that the moderation of
the Italian people, the wisdom of the Pope,
and a spirit of conciliation on both sides,
would remove all differences, and said it was
his wish that the Pope should remain inde
pendent in Rome.—Death of the Empress
Carlotta.—lt is announced by a cable des
patch that the Empress Carlotta, wife of
Maximilian, died at Miramar, at noon on
Friday.
Dec. 17.—Paris.—It is stated, semi-offici
ally, that General Almonte has received as
surances by telegraph, that Maximilian has
abandoned his intention of leaving Mexico, and

stay in Mexico. A proclamation stating that
he will remain is published in.the papers of
Vera Cruz. It is said that General Diaz lied
gone over to Maximilian, and that Ortega's
partisans are following his example.

A. MAGNIFICENT OFFER
Cur. beautiful Premium Picture. "THE HEAVENLY

This picture has been engraved at great expense,
Specially for THE LITTLE CORPORAL, and is one of the
best engravings ever produced in this country. The
18ank ote Company who produced it. say they would

It excels the German engraving of l-teinla's, which
sells for $3 per copy. Our price is S 2. For a short
:time we shall offer it as a premium as follows:
' We wills end the picture of THE HEAVENLY CHERUBS
to every subscriber who will renew his own subscrip

We believe this to be the most liberal offer ever
made by any periodical ror so small an effort. We
have several reasons for making it; one is, that we
want all THE Coaroliat's children to have this superb
engraving; another is, that we went our new names for
next year to begin coming in now, for convenience in
arranging our mail list for January; another is, that
we want to double our large at once; and another
is, that the distribution in this way of a few copies o
this picture in every neighborhood, will show the
people how desirable it is, and help agents largely in

IticiAre you sick, feeble and complain
ing? Are you out of order with your
system deranged and your feelings
• uncomfortable? These symptoms are
often the prelude to seritas illness.
Some fit of sickness is creeping upon
you, and'should be averted by a time
ly use of the right remedy. Take
Ayer'sPills, and cleanse out the disordered humors
—purify the blood, and let the fluids move on unob
structed in health again. They stimulate the func
tions of the body into vigorous activity, purify the
system from the obstructions which make disease.
A cold settles somewhere in the. body, and deranges
its natural functions. These. if not relieved. react
upon themselves and. the surrounding organs, pro
ducing *genehil aggravation, suffering and derange
ment. While in this condition, take Ayer's Pills, and
see how directly they restore the natural action of
the system, and with it the buoyant feeling of health
again. What is true and so apparent in this trivial
and common complaint is also true in many ofs the
deep seated an,! dangerous ' distempers. Th. same
purgative effect : expels them. Caused by similar ob
struction- and del e ngements of the natural functions
of the body, they rapidly and many of them sure
ly cured by the s e =Fans. None who know the
virtue of these Pills will neglect to employ them
when suffering-from the disorders they cure, such as
Headache. Foul Stomach, Dysentery, Bilious Com
plaints. I ndigestion, Derangement of the Liver, Cos
tiveness, Constipation, Heartburn, Rheumatism.
Dropsy, Worms and Suppression, when taken in
large doses. _ -
They are Sugar Coated, so that the most sensitive
can take them easily, and they are surely the best
purgative:medicine yet discovered.

TESTIMONIAL
From the late Bishop of Pennsylvania
Mr. Lawrence's system seems to me free from some
