Tennessee Radical to the tune ol 40,000 Brotzidow and an entire Radical Congres sional delegation elected. The first election under the Reconstruc tion act was held in Tennessee on i hursday the Ist instant, which resulted in the re-elec tion of Gov. Brownlow and a full Radical delegation to Congress. The contest was one of the most violent that was ever eon ducted on the American Continent. Pistols, bowie knives, bludgeons and every other weapon ol an offensive and defensive char acter were the arguments of the opposition. Meetings were mobbed and broken up ; men were attacked and murdered for opinion's sake; and the most intense excitement pre vailed in every precinct. But when the election day came, black and white went to the polls and voted their sentiments without molestation, and the result is a glorious one ; a glorious triumph for the cause of hu manity and equal and exact justice to all. The negro, with very few exceptions, voted for the Radical candidates, which forever settles the question of how the negroes will vote. This is the first dawn of the new order of things. It is the first triumph of free labor over the accursed system of bond age in the States which have heretofore been buried in the ruin 3 of the slavc-ocratic system. The day is not far distant when from Mason's and Dixon's line to the Gulf of Mexico the same steady column will march over every foot of territory and sweep every vestige of the dark ages from the arena of politics, and upon their ruins will be established the principles of the which in less than fifteen years, has wiped out slavery by one of the greatest wars of ancient or modern times. Hurrah for Tennessee ! Hurrah! Hurrah ! THE APPROACHING ELECTION We are not at all sure that an elective Judiciary, with a limited tenure of office, is any improvement on the system of our fa thers, under which the Judges were nomi nated by the Governor, confirmed by the Sen ate, and held their offices for life, or during good behavior. The Constitution of 1838 limited the tenure of office, and an amend ment of 1850 made the Judiciary elective. Many good men of both political parties opposed these changes at the times of their inception, and many good men now regard the experiment as an accomplished failure. There can be no question that the farther removed the Judges are from party associa tion and position, and from partisan feeling, the more likely is it that the law will be ju dicially administered. Aud yet under the present system we are now approaching an election for Supreme Judge, which is of the utmost national importance, in view of the Presidential election of next year, and the influence this election will have' upon that. If the Democratic party (falsely so-called) fail to carry Pennsylvania this Fall, they have played their last card. The utmost hardihood of assurance will scarcely enable them to brazen the thing out any tarther. They will then surely abandon the offensive carcass of their dead party and bury it out of the sight of honest and loyal men, and start some new party on new issues and with new leaders—issues and leaders that will not recall to men's visions the bloody drama through which we have just passed; a party organization operated for years in the inter ests of slavery, culminating in the imbecile administration of Buchanan, and in a deso lating war which loaded the nation with debt, and ridged the whole country from the Susquehanna to the Gulf with the graves of a million of men hurried into eternity in the prime of youthful manhood. It is said that the men who call them selves the leaders of the Copperhead party of this State, of whom Mr. Wallace of Clsarfield is the great Corypheus are not satisfied with the repeated defeats of the last nine years, which we would suppose might now be regarded as their normal, or at least chronic condition, but are really making a grand effort —with unusual care in the matter of township and county organizations, and with their usual use of money and whiskey. As a blind to their operations they are publishing in all their county papers (they reach their people mainly through their oounty papers, the mass of the reading and thinking public having advanced long since beyond the position of the sham-Democra cy) editorials from the Philadelphia Age, and Mercury in which they claim that, "the selection of a Judge is a matter which should be out of the range of politics" ; "in a Judicial election we should vote for the man not the party," &c. What a consummate assurance of men dacity? Will they never learn to be honest with the people? Will they never learn to know that the maxim ''A lie well stuck to is as good as the truth," is a false and scan dalous one? Who made the election of Judges political ? In 1851, when the whole five Judges of the Supreme Bench were first elected why did not these people, then the dominant party in the State, mako nomioa tions independent of politics? In spite of the protestations of many good mon they hurled the election of Judges into the polit ical arena, and have kept it there ever since, until now that they are in a hopeless minor ity they seek by this whining lie to deceive the people into voting for George o hars- W ' And who is George Sharswood, and what hi, antecedents, that an appeal shall bo made to men to vote for lnm rather than for Judge Williams ? Test the men by their judicial ability, integrity and impartiality, and the whole community of Judge Wil liams' District, without distinction oi party, will say that his superior is not anywhere to be found. Test them by the records of the Supreme Court as to the cases taken up from their respective Courts on writs of error and appeal, and Judge Williams will be found to have few if any equals in the State in this regard. Test them as to pow ers of patient investigation, quickness of perception, courtesy and freedom from pet ulancy and irritability, and Judge Williams will he fouud to be much the more eligible m A sound mind in a sound body is the especial requisite of a Judge who is to be elected for a term of fifteen years to a posi tion on a Bench which is loaded down with work. Yet Judge Sharswood has been for years an invalid. These people are very anxious to keep out of view the fact that Judge Sharswood years ago, before he ever went upon the Bench, was a partisan politician of the state-rights school; that he was an admirer and follower of John C. Calhoun, the man whom the patriot Jackson regretted till his dying day that he had not hanged. And above all, they are especially anxious to keep out of view the opinion of Judge Sharswood, made in the interests of that same secession school of politicians, that the General Government had no constitutional power to issue money to carry on the war to suppress the rebellion. Had that opinion prevailed and been settled as law it would have utterly prostrated the power of the Government, and done more for the rebels than all their soldiery and cannon. But thank God, it did not prevail. Our people had faith in the Government, and in the right to use all necessaiv means to crush out the great slaveholder's rebellion, and they cannot now be wheedled, cajoled, lied, tricked, drilled or whiskeyed, into electing Judge Sharswood to the Supreme Bench. #ar A delegation of Southerners, says a Washington dispatch,including a prominent officer of the Johnson provisional govern ment of Alabama, has called on the Presi dent to piotcst against the removal of Gen erals Pope and Sheridan. They advanced the argument that the time for the removal of those officers has passed, and, admitting themselves to be thoroughly subdued, advis ed Mr. Johnson not to attempt to interfere with the execution of the reconstruction acts under a radical construction of their provis ions. They feel assured that Congress, when it assembles in November, will nullify all such attempts, and that the only result will be to increase the severity of the laws for their future government. The Presi dent gave them but little satisfaction, and they left him under the impression that he would act independently of them or of any other men of common sense. 4*aT The Copperheads are distributing tracts, entitled "Anti-Abolition Tracts," in this county for the purpose of showing that Emancipation is a failure. Year after year, these poor creatures have come around with a similar bundle of waste paper, until they have been defeated in every Northern State, and we predict in less than five years, they will receive the same treatment in every Southern State. How strange it is that some people narer learn any thing. The apt saw, "The fools are not all dead yet" is constantly being illustrated. The State election in Louisville and throughout Kentucky as far as heard from, passed quietly. The result has been a Rebel triumph, by a majority variously estimated at 30,000 to 60,000. Louisville city and the county of Jefferson elected their entire Legislative ticket, twelve members. It is beleived that the Reb els in the State have elected seven eighths of the Legislature. In Louisville the Radi cals and third party made a poor run, Helm, the Rebel candidate for Governor, beat ing both his opponents by about 3,300 majority; THE Democratic papers of Pennsylvania have suddenly discovered that it is a terri ble crime for judges to be in accord with the political sentiment of the age. The Dred Scott decision they regarded as the perfec tion of human reason, and they could not sufficiently praise the long line of pro-slave ry monsters who systematically divorced law from justice because the exigencies of Dem ocratic politics required barbarous and tyrannical decisions. They complain only when it is proposed to administer laws in the interest of Liberty and Loyalty.— Press. THE latest news from Washington is that the Surrat trial is about ended. We shall rejoice when this is the case. It has been one of the most comprehensive cases, for the lawyers not only have tried their prisoner, but also to make speeches upon al most every subject under the heavens. ■CuThere is no doubt of the fact that the President has formally requested Secretary Stanton to resign his position. The Presi dent's friends assert that he has taken this course in order to secure nnity of political views in the Cabinet. IMPORTANT tin mines have been discover ed in Missouri. The prospectors and geolo gists who have examined them allege that they contain tin enough not only to supply the United States but the whole world. So large and prolific are the lodes that the locality is named the Tin Mountain. Inas much as we have hitherto depended exclu sivcly upon foreign countries for this useful metal, it is gratifying to know that hereafter the home market for kitchen utensils can be supplied by a home product, and that the missinp link in the chain of American me tallurgical independence will thusbe comple ted. As an indication of the value of the imports we notice that during the week en ding July 26, 1867, there were entered at the port of New York 24,733 boxes of tin, valued at $161,617, and 2,915 pounds of tin, valued at $23,064; and the annual value of Ivi5 portfl °* tin ra rely amount to less than $4,000,000. Favorable Reports of the Crop*. The following is a condensation of the crop returns for July received at the De partment of Agriculture: Never has the Department been able to report o favorable a prospect for unimformly good crops since the establishment of the statistical division, while exaggerated statements have been made in influential papers, especially of the so-called failure of the wheat crop of last year, and the importation of wheat in the face of the fact that $12,000,000 worth of brCUdstuffs were exported in the first four months of 1867, immense numbers oi emi grants were fed, a much larger amount of wheat used as seed than usual, with a sur plus still remaining over sufficient to break numerous speculators and banks. It is grat ifying to know that we shall have a surplu to more than make good the deficiency, not the failure, for there never was a failure of the wheat crop in this country. Of the last three crops of wheat., three or four States —West Virginia, Kentucky Ohio and, Indiana— made but half a crop. No other States were in that category, and lowa, Missouri and Kansas made a good crop. Instead of a deduction of fifty per cent, on ninety millions of bushels of wheat, which would at least have threatened a famine, scarcely more than a third of that deduction should be made. For three years past the product has been but about five bushels to each inhabitant. The crop of 1 859, if the census returns arc correct, was but five and a half bushels to each person. The prom ise for the present year is about six bushels. WHEAT.—The statistical returns for July show an improvement in the condition of winter wheat over last year in overy State but Texas, Nebraska and Minnesota, the diminution in the latter case being but four per cent. The highest improvement is in Ohio, 160 per cent; West Virginia, 78; Georgia, 96; Tennessee, 72; Indiana, 54; Kentucky, 53; Michigan, 35: Vermont, 25; New Jersey, 25; New York, 17. Spring wheat was a far less variable product than last year, consequently less variation in the figures used in the present comparison. All the States, however, except Vermont, New' York and Pennsylvania, shows an in crease on last year. CORN. —The average in corn is unusually large, every State snowing a material in crease, except in Maine, New Hampshire, New York and South Carolina. In the Southern States the increase ranges upwards of 102 per cent., as in Aakansas. The condition, as reported, is a little deficient in the Northern and Western States on ac count of the lateness of the spring. With the continuance of the present weather is ample opportunity to make up the entire deficiency, in which case the yield will be unprecedented. RYE.—A glance at the tables will show the fine condition of this grain, and re markable uniformity of the improvement. BARLEY.—The condition of this grain promises an increase of from ten to twenty percent, in Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana, and forty-four per cent, in Ohio. Most of the other States show some increase. OATS. —The condition of oats points to a full in the West, particularly in Wisconsin and Minnesota, alsoiri Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and the South; slightly- less than last year in Maine, Vermont, New York and Kentucky. PASTURES AND llAY,— These crops are almost universally large, from an average up to fifteen, twenty and even thirty per cent. POTATOES. —The report of acreage of po tatoes indicates a larger area planted in every State except Maine and New York. The condition is also above an average, with a few exceptions, among which are New York, Ohio and Indiana. FRUlTS. —Peaches are so exceptional in their successful oconn *nct localities mat estimates for States can scarcely be made with accuracy. New Jersey, as indicated by very general returns, shows Go per cent improvement over last year: Maryland. 25; Delaware, 150; Virginia, :>5; Michigan, 127. In other States estimates arc given upon whatever data was received, generally show ing a considerable increase over last year. Apples are promising in portions of New Kngland, the Allegheny region and the West, Grapes are more unilorm in the average of States, and generally appearing unusually well. It has been a more suc cessful year for strawberries than usual, as a study of the tables will show. SOROHUM. —The sorghum crop i gener ally returned as in a comparatively poor condition, with lower figures than any other crop. Ohio and Indiana indicate a defici ency in average of fourteen per cent, and in condition of ten percent. All the principal sorghum growing States show a similar state of facts. COTTON. —There is an increase of average in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas. Texas. 10 1-10; Mississippi, 04- 10; Louisiana; 8 1-10. The average is about the same as last year. There is a slight difference, as reported, in favor of the present crop. The department estimates, made last October, of 1,835,000 bales proved to be singularly accurate for approximate calculations of so early a date, though they were severely criticised by Northern and Southern speculators, some of whom publicly acknowledged their error aftci the crop was sold. It is too early to predict the success ful avoidance of all the numerous enemies of cotton. Had the last crop been a good one, it would have yielded 2,500,000 bales. Avery good one would have realized 3,000, 000. Such results are possible this year. WOOL. —An examination of this item of the tables will show that losses of sheep, un thrifty condition and a wet spring have had an influence both upon numbers and weight of fleece, and will lead to the conclusion that our wool clip of the present year is not ma terially larger than that of last year. The Campaign. As soon as Mr. 11. W. Williams was made the Republican candidate for Supreme Judge, a considerable proportion of the Democratic newspapers of this Common wealth opened upon him their batteries of personal abuse. They even proceeded so far as to denounce him as unworthy of pub lic confidence because he happened not to be born in Pennsylvania, thus evidencing; whatever they may profess to the contrary, that they surpass in their inmost fcelines the exclusiveness of the defunct Ivuow Nothing organiztion. So far not one Republican journal has been found to assail the personal character of Mr. Sharswood. Rut a number of them have commented decorously on one or more of his official acts. Ilereat the Democrat ic journals join in a chorus of objurgations. What would they have? They naturally in sist that the official conduct of Democratic functionaries shall not be reviewed. Judg ing from the way they discourse, if they had the power thev would exempt their friends who hold public places as absolutely from just criticism as Napolcon 111. contrives to hold himself and his agents. Fortunately, their authority is not equal to their will. Before they declaim further, however, at what they are pleased to denounce as the "disreputable manner" of the Republican press in dealing with opinions pronounced by Mr. Sharswood, we suggest they bad better bring their course touching the per sonal character and position of Mr. Williams within the boundaries of common decency. Mr. Sharswood is seeking a scat on the Supreme bench. It is pertinent to inquire whether, in a subordinate judicial capacity, he has expressed opinions ptejudieial to the stability of the national finances, and tend ing to increase the peril and uncertainty of all business classes. No amount of bluster can stop investigation into this matter. In deed, the tempest raised may well be taken as conclusive proof that this is apoint which deserves probing.— Pittsburgh Gaxette. A Call foi Enterprising Men. HORAWB&L, BEDFORD COUNTY, Pa., I .tune 20, 1867, J EDITORS JOURNAL OF MINING: Gentlemen: —I have frequently been re quested, by a number of my friends, to call public attention to this interesting portion of our State, through the medium of your valuable journal, which has, doubtless, been the instrument through which more true and valuable information lias been imparted to the American public, than perhaps any other source. Owing, however, to the rap id and startling events which have followed each other during the last five or six years, I have up to this time, deferred doing so, believing that the publie mind was not in a situation to calmly look into and examine the peculiar advantages of any particular locality of our great mineral State, until the im|>ortant issues in which we were involved were properly adjusted. That time having arrived when the supremacy of our govern ment lias been fully established, and the in defatigable energy, that is characteristic of this great nation in peace or war, is now ready to be directed, and is anxiously inqui ring for information as to where capital and industry can be the most advantageously employed in developing the hidden resources of our vast country. It is to this class of our citizens that I wish particularly to call attention to this hitherto neglected portion of our State, as having all the natural ad vantages and resources that can be desired to open up a great field of enterprise, and which must eventually become one of the moat extensive iron manufacturing districts in the State. It has been said "that a prophet has no honor in his own country," the same may lie applied with equal truth to sections of this country, which really possess more wealth than the same breadth of territory, embracing the richest gold mines of California. But, for some unex plained cause, the peculiar advantages that nature has deposited at our own doors are everlooked, and the glittering gold fields of distant sections of our country are selected by our enterprising young men, as the field of their future operations, and, in their haste to make money, they blunder over the seemingly more humble deposits of nature, to which, if they could he attracted, and in fuse the same amount of energy in develop ing, would most assuredly, in a majority of instances, find themselves more comfortable in a pecuniary point of view, and have the satisfaction of knowing that they contribu ted more to the interests of their fellow men and their country by helping to build up our manufacturing interests at. homo, than they lajsnihly could have done had they followed the "ignaus fatuus" contemplated by so many. This particular section of country, possessing all the advantages to which I al lude, lies principally along the valley from Huntingdon, iu Huntingdon county, beyond Bedford, in Brdford county, to the Mary land line, and even beyond that. Immense beds of brown hematite and also fossiliferous ores run through the entire valley, a dis tance of, perhaps, more than eighty miles. It has been estimated by scientific geologists that there is most certainly a sufficient amount of ore lying between these points mentioned to keep Its) furnaces in operation that uiany years; and, strange as it may ap pear, up to this time there is hut one fur in the whole valley, and that is situated at this place: Jn order to give some idea of the quality of the metal that is manufactur ed from the ore of this region, it is only necessary to state that the principal pari of the metal made here the last year, has been used in the manufacture of steel, for which purpose it is said to be peculiarly adapted. As another evidence of the estimation in which this ore is held by those who have te-ted it, 1 would say that a company from Danville, Montour county j Pennsylvania, are now miniug and shipping it from this • •giou at ilir(nCT I yf JXH' lutlno, Anal wo bo lieve the trasportation is altogether by rail road. If they can ship ore advantageously, which they certainly uo, that distance, you can readily perceive the advantage there would be in the manuiacturc of the raw ma terial on the ground where we have the very best, of coal, limestone, water power, and the all important ore; indeed, all the facilities and requisites to insure a superior as well as cheep iron. And last, but not least by any menus, we have the lluutingdon and Broau Top Railroad traversing, as it were, the heart, of this valley containing all these min eral tesources a distance of 43 miles. I might, indeed, fill columns of your paper with this important subject, but 1 have now transcended the limits 1 intended. Hoping this may find favor with that class of enter prising men, for whom it is more particularly intended, and they may avail themselves of those golden opportunities to enrich them selves, and their country with them, in de veloping by their energy this rich field of deposits; and iu the future, watching these important developments which tnnst and certainly will take place, 1 may, perhaps, be enabled to give you a more detailed account of this region of couutry in regard to this important subject. I would respectfully refer persons desirous of having any further information in relation to this region to John Fulton, Esq., Be.-ident and Mining Engineer at Sax ton, Bedford county, Penn sylvania.

CnoXViLLE, Aug. 2. —Twelve counties in East Tennessee give Governor Brownlow thirteen thousand majority. The conser vatives admit that with thirteen counties to hear from, the majority in East Tennessee will be increased to twenty thousand. The radical Congressmen are all elected its follows: 1. Judge 11. 11. Butler. 2. Horace May nard. 3. VV. B. Stokes, t. James Mul lins. 5. John Trimble. 6. Samuel M. Arnell. 7. Isaac 11 Hawkins. 8. David A. N unn. The Legislature just elected is also largely Radical, which secures the elec tion of a Republican United States Senator in place "'f Patterson, Andy Johnson's son in law, who has also turned rebel. The Radical majority in Greene county, the home of the President, is 739, and in Greenville, celebrated as containing the tailor-shop, the Radical majority is ninety. This majority in the county is double the whole number of colored voters, and dis franchised citizens In the mountain coun ties, where there are scarcely any colored voters or disfranchised citizens, the Radical majority is about the same as the majority in 1861. The Radicals are prepairng for a grand celebration in honor of their victory. There will be a torchlight procession and general illumination to-morrow evening. Emerson Etheridgc, the defeated candidate for Gov ernor, is here cursing the EastTenncsseeans. Several frcedman have been discharged by their employees in Nashville for voting the Radical ticket, and others being threat ened, General Carlin has ordered (.'apt. Groesbeck to use every effort to find em ployment for them and compel an immedi ate settlement with their former employers. The I nitcd States troops sent to Frank lin and Spring Ilill to keep order have re turned. The special police and cavalry have been withdarwn from the streets of Nashville. Coi-oKKi. Mtttusi. LOPBZ, the traitor, aftei Belling Maximilian and bis generals, went to I'uebla to visit his wife. His reception was decidedly cold. Kis wife advanced to meet him, leading their little son by the hand, and addressed him thus: "Sir here is your son; we cannot cut him in two, take him. You aro a base coward and traitor. You have be trayed your country and your benefactor. From this hour we are strangers, for I shall this day retire to my family. Go." A Copperhead Forgery. The Pittsburgh Post of last Tuesday pub lished ail article relative to Judgo Williams, crediting the same to the "Salem (Mass.) Journal, Radical," wherein the people of Pennsylvania were ridiculed in vile terms, and charged with being ' dull Dutch," led by Massachusetts and Vermont radicals like lhad. Stevens and Judge Williams. The object of the article in question was appa rent, and the editors of the Post ware too shrewd to give the source from which they cut it, knowing it would have no weight with any one even in its own party, if it were known. The article proves to have been a coinage of the Harrisburg Patriot and Union , that being the misnomer of the vilest Copperhead organ in the State. The Salem Mass." Register, a sound radical pa per, thus disposes of the forgery: We have received from Harrisburg, Penna., a slip cut from the Patriot and Union, a Democratic paper of that place, dated July 27, containing what purports to be an "extract from a Radical organ at Sa lem, Massachusetts—the Journal." —in which Pennsylvania is stigmatized as a "poor, ignorant, stupid, old Dutch State," "now pretty thoroughly Tankeeized,"' and it is stated that "Thaddeus Stevens, a na tiveof Vermont, and a man true to his faith, holds the political elements of the State in the hollow of his hand," &c., &c. The article is probaaly the concoction of some Copperhead brain for political effeet. At and rate, there is no paper called the Jour nal published in this eity, and tho article was never printed in any "Radical organ at Salom, Massachusetts," so far as our knowl edge extends. REGISTRATION is to commence immedi ately in South Carolina. In accordance with an order dated August Ist, by Major General Sickles, Post Commanders are to be superintendents of registration within their respectivecommands, exercising, in addition to the functions conferred, general supervi sory authority looking to the faithful execu tion of the several reconstruction acts and maintenance of order. They will suspend Registrars for malfeasance in office, neglect of duty, or incompetency, and promptly re port their action, with the reasons therefore to the commanding General. The regula tions arc severe against persons endeavoring to thwart the rights of registration, the of fense being punishable by post court. Of fenses perpetrated by white persons disguis ed as blacks are of frequent occurrence, therefore, the attention of all authorities, civil and military, is directed to the device adopted to escape detection and to cast un merited obloquy upon the colored people. In all cases where resort thereto shall be shown, the fact will be taken into considera tion as aggravating the offense. THE importance of the attempts now be ing made in Illinois to manufacture sugar from beets are illustrated by the fact that the sugar imports of the United States du ring the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 1860, were valued at $39,595,677, in gold. This industry has been eminently successful in Europe, and there is no good reason why it should not also succeed in this country. Nearly 400,000,000 pounds of beet sugar arc now annually made in France, Germany, Austria, Russia, and Belgium. One "factory in Germany employs 3,000 operatives, occupies buildings which cover twelve acres of land, and has a capital of ♦16,000,000. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. DISPATCHES from General Dix indicate that Napoleon doiires to call an international council to meet in Paris to abrogate privateer ing, the Coolie trade and the traffic in human flesh throuhgout the world. NEWS from Mexico indicates that the em balmed body of Maximilian has been deliver ed to the Austrian authorities and is now cn route to New Orleans. THE Government has information that the British claimants of cotton will propose a set tlement. as theyare frightened at the impound ing of all their property in this country. A Washington special says: The proposed settlement of the Alabama claims by the ac quisition of British Columbia has been aban doned, it having been found impracticable. GENERAL SHERIDAN, it is said, has written to General Grant to say that, until removed, he will carry out all of his plans under the reconstruction, irrespective of Executive wishes, unless the orders of the President comes through General Grant to him. This decision is not opposed by General Grant. GOVERNOR BROWNLOW telegraphs that he has fought his last political fight; redeemed Tennessee, secured the black man in bis rights and gained the greatest victory of his life. THE New Yorkers aro becoming disgusted with their detective police. They lost over two million last year which those gentlemen couldn't find Again. THE American iron clad ram Dundcrburg, which was purchased by the French Govern ment after a remarkably quick and successful trip across the Atlantic, has reached her des tination in safety. THE Jackson (Mich.) Citizen says that doenments found in the trunk of W. Alwin Lloyd, proprietor of Lloyd's Minstrels, that recently performed in that city, and who ran away from his troupe at Jackson, show him to have been during the war an ageut of the rebel government. Among the documents was a letter from Jeff Davis to Colonel Lloyd, relative to the best manner of depreciating the Federal currency. There were also passes from Lloyd to General Winder, letters from prominent rebels, maps, his commission as colonel in the rebel army, etc., stamping him as not only a scoundrel, but a sneaking spy and rebel.

It ie like saying that an article which the world needs should be hid in a corner—that benefits and blessing* may be too widely diffused—that the means of protecting and restoring health should be a close monopoly, and not accessible to all. The argument is bad. It is worse than that: it is inhuman. Suppose HOB TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS—an absolute specific for dyspepsia, Biliousness and nervous debility—had never been known beyond the rep ertoire of the faculty, what would have been the consequence? Instead of curing and invigorating millions, the good effects of the preparation would have been confined to a comparative few. There is the highest authority for sayiDg that light ahould not be hid under a bushel; that whatever is excellent should be placed as a city on a bill, where all men can take cognizance of it. It is upon this principle that the BITTEES have been advertised and continue to be advertised in every newspaper of any prominence in the western hemisphere, and that the spontaneous testimoni als in its favor have been translated into all writ ten languages. Thousands enjoy perfect health to day who would be languishing on beds of sick ness if the newspapers had not epread the truth with reyard to thie uncqualed iueiyorant and cor. rectiee far and wide. Suppose profit hat been reaped from this publicity. Is that any argument against it? If the public health has been protec ted; if lives hare been saved: if the feeble have been strengthened and the sick restored, yreatyood hat been accnmpliehed j and who so mean as to grudge to exertion* thus directed their fair re ward? S. T.—l S 6O.—X The amount of Plantatin Bitters sold in <uie year is something startling They would fill Broadway six feet high, from the Park to 4th street. Drake's manufactory is one of the institutions of New York. It is said that Drake painted all the rocks in the Eastern States with his cabalistic *'S. T.—lS6o.—X,'' and then got the old granny legislators to pass a law "pre venting oisfiguring the face of nature," which gives bim a monopoly. We do not know how this is, but wc do know the Plantation Bitters SELL as no other article ever did. They are used by all classes of the community, and are death on Dyspepsia—certain. They are very invigorating _when languid and weak, and a great appetiser.
