S.—T.—1860—X. [From the Richmond Whi¢.} The Charleston Courter makes a timely sng- gestion in recommending the attention of our government to the naturalization and cultiva- tion of Calisaya, for the preservation of the health ofoursoldiers. This articlehas a pecu- liar effect upon the liver, and guards the sys- tem against disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is said that we grea: success of the Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, preyi- ous toour unhappy difficulties was found in most Southern homes, was owing totheextract of Calisaya Bark which it contained as one of its principal ingredients.—“ In confirmation of this, we baye heard one of our most distin- guished physicians remark, that whenever he felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or atmos- pheric causes, he invariably relieved himself by Plantation Bitters. Now that these Bitters cannot be obtained, @ substitute should be pre- pared. We understand our government has | opened negotiations with Dr. Drake, througha secret agent, but with what truth we do not know.” * * * *# #£ 4 & ‘We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmond Whig for its remembrance of “Auld Lang Syne,” but we can assure “Our Goverument”’ that the Plantation Bittera are notfor sale toany “secret agents,’ North or South. There is probably several other things that “Our Goyernment’* will yet want. We know that we have the best and most popular medicine in the world. We are not afraid to show what It is composed of. Physicians are compelled to recommend it. Carisaya BARK has been celebrated for over two hundred years, and was sold during the reign of Louis XVI, King of France, for the enormous price of its own weight in silver. It is remarkable for Dyspepsia, Fevers, Weakness, Constipation, &c. Cascakitié Bark.—For Diarrhea, Oolic, and diseases of the stomach and tpweis. DaxpDELION.—¥or Inflammation of the Loins and Drepsical Affections. CHAMOMILE FLOWERS.—For enfeebled di- gestion. LAVENDER FLowens.—Aromatic, stimulant ! and tonic—highly invigerating in nervons de- bility. WINTERGREEN.—For Scrofula, Rheumat- jem, &c. ARFIsz.—An aromatic carminative; creating fiesh, muscle and milk; much used by mothers nursing. Also, clove-buds, orange, caraway, corian- der, snake-root, &c. S.—T.—1560—-X. Another wonderful ingredient, ef Spanish origin, imparting beauty to the complexion and brilliancy to the mind, is yet unknown to the commerce of the world, and we withhold its name for the present. Humbugs and quacks howl about the Plan- tation Bitters; but the following is what's tho matter, and they know it: PLANTATION BITTERS{WILL CURE Cold Extremities and Feverish Lips. Sour Stomach and Fetid Breath. Flatulency and Indigestion. Nervous Affections, . Excessive Fatigue and Short Breath. Painjover the Eyes, Mental Deepondency. Prostration, (jreat Weakness, Sallow Complexion, Weak Bowels. Liver Complaint anp Dyepepsta. Very particularly recommended to Clergy- men, Merchants, Lawyers, and persons of sedentary habits.

Like all vieges. it is.a % of time, and has been undertaken by Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgren with no an yRtioN of progressing with any great rapidity.

All the works on the Jower end of Morris Isiand, which have been taken by Gen Gilicore, were not then erected, aud the parapet gans or Sumter were regarded by the enemy as of any great value.

We will have our dajly bombordment—the Monitors will go up before dinner, after diuner, and after tea, in squads of two or three, regularly Telieyed by the Irousider, keeping the enemy closely packed away in his “rat holes” night and doy during this sultry weather, giving him no opportunity to cook, or eat, or sleep with apy degree of comfor:.

Sumter, about once im ten minutes, (brows a heavy rifle spot at the impenetrable a mor of our iron-cinds, or hurls a shell in the direction of the innd battery, and occasionally there is a report coming from the direction of James Island, showing that Gen. Gilmore is keeping close watch and ward over any flanking movements that mey be at- tempted by the enemy. He is also assisted in thie work by some of thesmaller gunbeats, and all was progressing well in that direction at last accounts. As to the fall of Sumter soon after the fal} of Wagner no one seems to have the least doubt. Fort Wagner. which was passed by in silence by Admiral Dupont, is undoubted!y the key of Churlesion, as evinced by the indomitable de- tense made by the enemy, with such terrible loes. There probably never was a fortification besieged with such frightful sacrifice of life tothe besiegers as bas been the case at For: Wagner, and from the preparations making, there is no doubt that bloodier times are yet in store for them. The result of the siege, so far as our iron- ciads are concerned, is emphatically satis- factory. The Ironsides’ walls of solid iron have proved impenetrable, though she goes not go into such close range as the Mowftors, but still she has only so far received numerous fcars of war, which have beautified rather than disfigured her appearance, or lessened ber efficiency. The pivots of her port-stoppers work smoothly, and her gunners have been drilled to a state of efficiency that is truly ad- mirabie. The Monitors go in and come out, an@ the fight daily progresses with the report “nobody was hurt,” so far asthe iron-clads are con- cerned. Of course there are a few casualties in the shore batteries, but very few in view of the magnitude of the undertaking, or the panish- ment of the enemy. THE DRAFT. Opinions in Regard to Exemptions. The following opiniones in regard to exemp- ticns have been promulgated by Col. Joseph Volt, Judge Advocate General of the Army: The cnly Sonof Aged or Infirm Parent or Parents Exemptions. Opinion.—The only son of aged or infirm pa- Tent or parents is noetexempted unless his pa- rentor psrents are dependent on his labor for their support. If he isin a condition to sup- port und Goes support them without his perso- nal jabor for that purpose, he is subject to drat: because be is in condition to perform military service. without depriving his parents of the suppert, the law designs to secure them. The purents need not be wholly dependent on ths Inbor of their son for support. If they are so dependent for the principal part of their snp- port, the right to cxemptien then arises. Jn the case of a Widow having four Sons, Opinion.—_In the case of 8 widow haying four sous, three of whom are already in the militery service, the fourth isexempt, provided his mother is dependent on his laber for sup- port. In the case of a Widuw having Two Sons, one of whom is already in the Military Service. Opinion.—In the cxse of a widow hayingtwo sons, cne of whom is already inthe military servicé, and the other has been drafted, the latter is exempt, As the only son liable to mili- tary duty in the sense of the act. in ihe case of Aged or Injirm parents having two or more Sons subject to Military Duty Opiuion.—In case of aged or infirm parents having two or more cons subjectto military duty, election of the son to be exempted must Depiage before the draft, and his name should nof ihen appear in the draft-box. If one of only two sons of such parents is already in. military service, the other is exempt, provided his pgrenta are dependent on his labor for their support. Of Persons having Conscientious Scruples in re- gard to Bearing Arms, Persons having conscientions scruples in re- gard to bearing arms are noton that account exempt. They are not found in the list of ex- *mpted classes, and the act expressly declares that no person except those enumerated in that list shall be creme The society of Friends, and others entertaining similar sentiments, if drafted, may find relief from their scraples in the emp/oyment of substitutes, or in the pay- ment of the three hundred dollars. Of a Man Whose Wife is Insane. Opinion.—The children of an insane mother, who may, at any time, recover her reason, can- not in the sense of the law, or with any propri- ety of Iunguage, be termed motherless dren. ‘The father of such though they may be dependent on hia labor for their support, can- not, therefore, claim exemption from the draft. The case is ahard one, and would proba- bly have been provided for, had it been fore- seen. It is. however, the lew asit is and not as it may be supposed it ought to be, that it is 1o be co enforced. A Father Having four Sons, Twoof Whom Mave Died in the Military service; also of Aged or In- Jjirm Parents Electing which of Two Sons may be Exempt. Opinjon.—In the case of a father having foar fous, two of whom have died in the eervice, itseems clear that the remaining two are not exempt from draft. Before such ex- tion can be allowed it must be.shown that the father bas not had two sons ip the military “service, So the law is written. Congress might well have accepted the loss of two sons in the tield as equivalent io ‘their continuance in the service, and therefere securing the same priv- to their family’ but this has not been done, To hold otherwire would notbe interpretation, but Jegislation. In the case of aged and infirm nis hav- ing two sons subject to military duty, the fa- ines, or athe be dead, the motl may elect which of them shall be exempt. The right of this exemption does not rest upon the 3” dependence on the lator, of their sons for aap- pr the law dors not contemplate any such dependence 5 kek b ts sil New ARMS—It is Stated thet the Unitea Stites armory at Sprinefield coutinnréte tara ou’ aton’ one thousand moskets& day.
