NoRtSATIOSS TOR PrEMDEKOV;.— Now that
the time fur another election of Chitjf Magistrate
is drawing near, politicians ate. bajrily at work
l>n;|iaring for the contest, which promises to be a
.spirited one .whether, closely contested[ or .not. A
few days ag > a meeting was held in Cleveland
Ohio, composed of delegates from aB, or nearly
all of the loyal States, who organized a party
which we suppose from the tone, of the speeches
there delivered, may be known as the Radical
Democracy. :
With great unanimity of feeling thiey nomina
ted Gen. John C. Fremont of New York, for the
'Presidency, and Gen. John Cochrane of the
same State, for Vice Presidency., Aa both these
Military Chieftains are now in the ffeld, having
signified their acceptance of the nomination, we
may suppose they are ready for the fight and dos
sire the patronage and assistance of the Ameri
can public. As to ourselves, we wijh both the
candidates an easy life, and as playing President
seems to he somewahi laborious, we have thought
to cast our vote for them to remain. ip their pres
ent quiet positions. On Tuesday of ,tho present
week, the Republican Convention met in the City
of Baltimore, and effected first a temporary or
ganization, by placing Rev. Dr. Breckcnridge of
Kentucky, in the chair. After whicli a perma
nent organization was entered into,' with Gov.
Dennison, of Ohio, for chairman.
The first day was occupied in organization and
sueech making. On Wednesday, President Lin
coln, was re-nominated by acclamation, and An
drew Johnson, of Tennessee, was made the unan
imous choice for the Vice Presidency. Thus the
Republican party have thrown their banner to the
breeze inscrilrcd “ Lincoln mid Johnson." We
have not yet seen the platform, and cannot say
what additional planks, if any, have Been placed
thereon. The regular Democratic Convention
will meet in Chicago soon, when the triangle
will |j?completed, and the ball be fully opened.
Uiv.ZA kok liiimisGUAM. —Three ladies of Bir

have raised over one hundred dollars, which has

which will take place in the several States that have
not yet filled their quotas will add one hundred
thousand men to the army. It is also estimated
that the amount of groceries and’ provisions kept
on hand at Fritchey’s is sufficient to supply every
body and all their friends. He has just added to
lus stock 200 bushels of prime, river, seed potatoes.
I anners and others should make a ttole bf that.

I vi?: that fortunes are not made in trade
I without some forms of advertising. There
I are more fortunes established in a judicious
system of advertising than in anything else,
I anti knowing exactly how to get trade—
■i he public have become accustomed! to hav
ing! the claims of all trading establishments
presented to them in some form of adver
tisement. Each man has his own way of
expressing himself, and each trade! has its
own special wants. There is. thc fact, of
course, that the absolute necessaries of life,
“ust be bought somewhere, and people
will buy where they can bujLf.be cheapest
and best. This accounts mr Fritchey’s
great “run of custom.” ; His prices are rea

Thus. Klwav, Esq., in this place, Mrs. MAUY FCOATK. in
the 57th year of her age.
She bore all her afflictions with true Christian heroism,
ever expressing a readiness to yield to the will of Him who
is too wise to err. Early in life she gave her heart to God,
ami united with the BAptiat Church, of which mho remain
ed a member until her death, when, having adorned her
profession on earth, she went to join the church of the re
deemed on high, for H* who had been her joy in life was
her comfort and her stjty in a dying hour. We heard her
in the whispered breathings of her last hours say:
** Come Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove/’
And. in answer to that prayer,
Th** “Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dova ”
Came by dp noiseless wing,
And her frefad spirit bore aloft,
To where, in notes by love made soft.
The sweet-voiced angels sing.
And joining in the chorus there,
N Near by the throne above.
To God she lifts her notes of praise,
And swells with sainted ones those lays,
That tell redeeming love.
At a regular stated meeting of Veranda Lodge, No 532,

These Bonds are issued under Act ofCongreea of If arch g.

shall te EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or under any
state or municipal authority. Sahadripthm to thesjr Bonds
are received in United States notes or notaa of Rational
Banka. They are TO BE REDEEM ED IN COINj at the
pleasure of the Government, at any period net less Aan ten
nor more than forty years from their date, »ud until Uveir
redemption FIVE CENT. INTEREST WILL BE
PAID IN COIN, on Bpnda of not over one hundred [dollars
annually and on all other Bonds semi-annually. Thb inter
est is payable on the first day* of March and Septet nher in
each year.
Subscriber)* will receive either Registered or Coupon
Bonds, os they may prefer. Registered Bonds ara recorded
on the books of the V. S. Treasurer, and can be transferred
only on the owner’s order. Coupon Bbuds are payable to
bearer, apd are more Convenient for cdmmercial os’s.
Subscribers to this loan will have tlu option of J mving
their BoUds draw Interest from March Ist, by payi ag the
accrued interest in coin—{or in United States cotes, or the
notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent, for premi
um,) or icceive them drawing Interest from the date of
subscription and deposit. As these Bonds are i.
EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL STATE
TAXATION, I
their value is increased from one to three per cent, per
annum, according to the rate of tax levies In pffrts
of the country.
At the present rats of premium on gold they pay!

in currency, and are of equal convenience as a permanent
or temporaly investment.
It Is believed that no securities offer so great Induce
ments to lenders aa the various descriptions of U. 8. Bonds
In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of
private parties or stock companies or separate commodities
only is pledged for payment, while fcr the debts the
United States the whole property of tho country is bolden
to secure tbo payment of )both principal and interest in
coin. ' j
These Bonds may be subscribed for ip »uius from $5O up
to any magnitude, on the same terms, And are thus: made
equally available to the smallest lender or the largest cap
italist. They can be converted into money at any moment,
and tbo holder will have tho benefit of the Interest.;
It may b useful to State in this connection that thp total
Funded Debt of the United Status, on which interest is
payable in gold, on the 3d day of March. 1864, was’s76B,-
905,000. The interest on this debt for the coming fiaca
year will bo $45,937,126, while tho customs revenue in gold
for the current fiscal year, ending June 30th, 186 ft, has
been so far at tho rate of over $100,000,000 per annum.
It will be seen that even tho present gold revenues of
the Government arc largely in excess of the wants Of the
Treasurer for the payment of gold interest, while the re
cent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the auuual
receipts from customsbn the same amouht of importations,
to $150,000,000 per annum. •

were not issued from the United States Treasury until
March 26, but iu the first three weeks of April the sub-

no mineral of any kind; no deadly botanical element; no
fiery excitant; bat it is a (wmbination of theextracm of
rare balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mild

It is well to be forearmed against disease, and, so firr as
the human System can be protected by human
against maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmo
sphere, impure water and other external causes, HOSTET
TER’S STOMACH BITTERS may be relied an as a safe
guard.
In districts infected with Fever and Ague, it has bean
ound infallible as a preventive and irresistible as a reme
dy- and thousands who resort to it under apprehension of
an attack, escape the scourge; and thousands who neglect
to avail themselves of its protective qualities in advance,
are cured by a very brief course of this marvelous modi
cine. Fever and Ague patients, after being,plied with
quinine for mouths in vain, until fairly saturated with
that dangerous alkaloid, are not uufrequently restored to
health within a few days by the use of HOSTKTTKR'S
BIXTEUS.
Tho weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe
tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence It works
wonders in cases of Dyspepsia and in less confirmed forms
of Indioystion. Acting as n gentle andpainlesaapperieut,
as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the
Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the di
gestive and iiecretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit,, liable toiVerww Attacks, Lutme *
of Spirits and Pitt qf languor, find prompt and perma
nent relief from tho Bitters. The testimony on this point
is most conclusive, and from both sexes.
The agony Sf Buuodb Colic is immediately aaauHged by
a single dose ol the stimulant, and by occasionally resort
