The Charleston Courier makes a timely sug- geetion in recommending the attention of oar government to the naturalization and cultiva- tion of Calisaya, for the preservation of the health ofoureoldiers, This articlehas a pecn- liar effect upon the liver, and guards the sys- tem againat disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is said that the grea: success of the Piantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previ- ous toour unhappy difficulties was found in most Southern homes, was owing tothe extract of Calisaya Bark which it contained as one cf Hs principal ingredients. —« In confirmation of this, we have heard one of our most distin- guished physicians remark, thet whenever he felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or gtmos- pheric causes, he inyarigbly relieved himself by Pinntation Hitters. Now that these Biiters canret be obtained, a substitute shon!d be pre- péered. We understand our government has opened negotiat with Dr. Drake, througha secret agent, but with what irnth we do not know.” * 4 © © © & & We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmond Whee for ite remembrance of “Auld Lang Syne,” but we cen assure “Our Government” that the Planiation Biiters are notfor eale toany “secret agents,” North or South. There is probably several other things that “Qnr Government” will yet want, We know that we have the best and most popttar medicine in the world. We are not afraid to show what it is composed of.

In doing I laid down the principles te which I propoce adhering—which is. to pre cece with the draft, at ihe sume limeemploying infallible means fo avcid any great wrongs.

In looking over the fuller list of twenty- eight cistricts,1 find that the quotas for sixteen of them are above 2,600 and below 2,700, whilo gt ibe Test six are above 2,700and six are below 2,000. Applying the principlo to these new facts, the Fifth end Seventh districts must be adGed to the four in which the quotas have already heen reduced to 2,200 for the first dratt: aud with these four others must be added to :bose to he re-enrolled. The correct care will then stand: Thequotas of the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, 2200 for the fir-: Grait.

A Vicksburg letter, dated the 2d inst, to the St. Louis Democrat, says : «General Ord's corps has gone te Natchexs to relieve General Raneom, who returns to Vicks- Lurg. General McPherson has been serioushy unwell, but is recovering. Geueral Banks visited Vicksburg on the Ist instant, and had & conzultation with General Grant. “A very important movement is en foot im Mis-issippi, Jooking to the bringing of war State back into the Union.

I teld him to go to the Secretary, which he did, and he told me that Mr. Welles declined en‘ering into any negotiaiion about it. Mr. Howard was not yery well pleased with the result. him several times. I presume it is correspondence with him Which Laird has pubiished, although I have not seen it. The truth ie, he was an agent oF Laird’c; not in any sense of the Navy Depari- ment. If not Luaird’s agent he was a mere volunteer, perhaps expecting a commission trom Laird, but he was furnished by him in advance wiih plans, estimates, &. lam, very truly yours, C. B. SEDGWICK.
