This Railroad Bridge is now being constructed in the
best manner with stoae piers and abutments, and iron
superstructure, after a plan prepared by J. H. Linville, ,
civil engineer and approved by J. Edgar Thomson,
President of thePennsylvai ia Railroad Company. 1
This bridge, .when completed, will form part of a
through lino from Pittsburg, to Cincinnati, under one
management, twenty-nine miles shorter than aiiy.other
route, and fifty-eight miles .shorter tham the present
route. via Crestline. It is expected that the'line will-be
ready for business throughout its whole extent by July 1,
1564, and it must eventually become the great through
route for both passengers and freight to and from the
. South and Southwest. • . - j

any year will expire on the first day of May following,
and- will be issued upon the payment of a rateable pro
fiortion' of the whole amount of duty imposed for such
icenses; and each license so granted will he dated on
the first day of the month in which it is issued; Provided*
That any person, firm, or corporation, that on the first
day of May, 1863, held an unexpired license, will be as
sessed a rateable proportion for the time between the ex
piration of the license and the first day of May, eighteen

All persons doing business within this district must
apply tor a new license, to van from the date their pre
sent license expires (which, inmost cases, is Septem

PENALTIES. •
When an assessment for license has been made, upon
neglect or refusal to give the list or make the applica
tion within the time required, and the. assessment is re
turned in the annual list, the fiftyper centum penalty
•prescribed in Section 11 nwsf be added, and caanotbe
remitted, either by the Assessor or Collector. ■
By the Act-March 3.1563, the penalty of two years' im
jrrisonwient is. added to the punishment provided in
former Acts for those who fail to take out license when
required by, the excise laws of the United States.
The former annual assessment was much embarrassed
for want of information on the part of citizeus with re
gard to the duties imposed. on them by the Excise Law.
It is manifest chat with the knowledge now attained on
the. pari of the. tax-payer, and with the assistance
rendered by this , circular, that ignorance of the law
con yo lovger beplmdedby delinquents in the hope of
avoiding the penalties provided. ■ -

•READ THE FOLLOWING CAKE
-4-V FULLY, —At tha close of a Course of Lectures, de
livered to us. Members of one of the mans' Classes of
PROF. C. H. BOLLES, who has been developing liis dis
covery for nearly four year?, at 1220 WALNUT Street,
in tbo City of Philadelphia, in the application of GAL
VANISM, MAGNETISM, and other modifications of
ELECTRICITY, the following resolutions were unani
mously passed:
Resolved, That, as we have been eye witnesses for
many weeks in the Institution of Prof. Bolles, and have
good reason to believe that he has discovered new prin
ciples in the application of the different modifications of
Electricity to the various diseased conditions of the hu
man system; and that, in the treatment of different dis
eases, we have been convinced that, In his hand, as also
his Students, the application of Electricity is a reliable
therapeutic; and that be has taught us a new, rational,
and scientific Philosophy,’and we believe the only re
liable theory of disease and mode of cura.
; Resolved, That, in our judgment, the philosophy ad
vanced, and so clearly demonstrated in the Course .of
Lectures, is entirely new and original with Prof. Bolles,
and not known to the Medical Profession, and that the
great success which lias attended Ms practice in this city
is alone the result of his scientific discovery of Electrical
laws hitherto unknown to man, and that the many
failures of other men in this city using this mighty agent
is their ignorance of the true principles of Electricity
Resolved , That we, in duty to suffering,humanity,and
for the great progress of the human race in approxi
mating toacondition of health and happiness, commend
the Professor and his theory and practice to the public,
and bid him God speed, as we believe his great mission,
is one of benevolence and-mercy, and calculated to
benefit humanity in the only scientific and reliable way.
to a final restoration of health and physical happiness.
Resolved, That we tender to Prof. Bolles our thanks
for his lucid instruction aiitL kind attention to us, indivi
dually and as a class; that he has redeemed every
pledge or assurance made by him. and that in parting
from him he has onr best wishes for his happiness and
prosperity, and we heartily commend him to all scienti
fic investigators, and also to the diseased of body or
mind.
Also, Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
be by each member of the class* and published in
the city papers.

A* WAR DEPARTMENT, Apjt. General’s Office,
Washington, April 23,1563.
The organization of an INVALID CORPS is hereby
authorized. '•
This. Corps shall consist of Companies, and if it shall
hereafter be thought best, of Battalions.
The Companies shall be made up from the following
sources, viz:
First. By taking those officers and enlisted men of
commands now in the field (whether actually present or
temporarily absent) who, from wounds received in ac
tion or disease contracted in the line of duty, are unfit
for field service, but are still capable of effective garrison
duty, or such, other light duty as may be required of an
Invalid Corps. Regimental Commanders snail at once
make out, from information received from their Medical
. and. Company Officers, and from their own knowledge,
rolls (according to the Form furnished) of-the names of
all the officers and enlisted men under their commanda
who fulfill the following conditions, viz: " •
1. That they are unfit for active field service on ac
count of wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty;
this fact being certified by a Medical Officer in the ser
vice, after personal examination.
2. That they are fit for garrison duty; ibis fact being
likewise certified by the Medical Officer, as above, after
personal examination.
3. That they are, in the opinion of their .Commanding
Officers, meritorious and deserving.
These rolls-shall be certified by the Examining Sur
geon; and Regimental Commander, and transmitted,
, through the ;regular"channels of military correspond
ence. to the' Provost-Marshal General of the United
States;--. •
The Commander shall enter in the column
of remarKS, - opposite' eacli officer’s name,-on the roll, a
statement as to tho general character of the officer for in
telligence, industry, sobriety, and attention to duty;
and ail intermediate Commanders shall endorse thereon
such facts as.they miy possess in the case, or if they
have none, .they shall state how far they are willing to
endorse the opinion of the officer or officers making the
recommendation. Similar rolls shall be forwarded from
time to time, whenever the number of men fulfilling tha
conditions enumerated or the exigencies of the service
may render it expedient. „
By taking those officers and enlisted men still
in'service and borno on the rolls, hut who are absent
from duty, in Hospitals or Convalescent Camps, or are
otherwise under the control of Medical Officers. In
these cases, the Medical Officer in attendance shall pre
pare the rolls according to Form, entering the names of
officers and men from the same Regiment oil a roll by
themselves, and send "them, with the certificate of the
Surgeon, duly signed, to the proper Regimental Com
. maiider, who will forward them, as heretofore specified,
subject.to the same conditions and requirements. . If, in
any case, the Begimental Commander shall think an
officer unfit, inpoiut of character, to. continue in the.ser
vice of the Invalid Corps, though, disabled and certified,
by the Surgeon, he will state his objection iu thecolumn
of reroarks. and note the exception before signing to®
certificate. If any officer or enlisted man. now in the
service, but absent and beyond the reach of a Medical
Officer in charge of a Hospital or Convalescent Camp,
desires to enter this Corps, he will take the coarse indi
cated below for those who have been honorably dis
. charged the service. . . „ „. ",
Third. By accepting those officers ana enlisted men
who have been honorably discharged on account of
wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty, and
who desire to re-enter the service. In the case of an
officer, an application for appointment must be made to
the Provost Marshal General of the United States
through the officer detailed as Acting Assistant Provost
Marshal General of the State. No application of this
kind will be considered unless the following conditions
are completely fulfilled: , ~ , . , L , „
1. That the applicant produce the certificate of the Sur-
Eion of the Board of Enrolment for the District in which.
e resides, that he is unfit for active-field duty on ac
count of wounds or disease, and is not liable to draft,
but is fit for garrison duty. „ ~ ,
2. That he furnish evidence of honorable discharge
on account of wounds or disability contracted in the line
be produce from the Regi
mental, Brigade, and Division Commanders under whom
he formerly served, that he is worthy of being tbu.3 pro
vided for and capable of returning adequate service to
too Government. In case it shall be impracticable to
get this last evidence, he may, having established the
first two points above, satisfy the Board of Enrolment
that he is deserving, and present its certificate of the
fact. This evidence must all be oba.in.ed bv the appli
cant, and,must be transmitted with his • application for
appointment. v _
IftlJhere he no ActingJAssistant Provost Mare bat Gene
ral for the State, the application may be forwarded
through tha Adjutant General of the State, who is de
sired to endorse thereon such facts in the military
history of the applicant as he may know, or as are af
forded bv his records, and forward the same to the Pro
vost Marshal General of the United States. Enlisted
men, honorably discharged on account of disability,
desiring to re-enlht in this Corps, will present them
selves to the Board of Enrolment’ for the District in
which they reside, for examination by the Surgeon
thereof, who shall examine them and report the result
to tho Board of Enrolment.
Tbe Board shall then consider each case, and if the
applicant is found to fulfill the conditions specified be

2. That lie is fit for garrison duty.

Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General of the State,
■who shall procure such evidence of* service and charac
ter as the records of the Company to which he belonged,

is doterving, he will enlist him: in accordance with
such special rules as the Provost Marshal General may
establish. .

''Military Commanders, and all others having authority
to discharge, under existing laws and regulations, are
