The Uharieston Courier makes @ timely sug- Gectionin recommending the attention of our government to the naturalization and cultiva- thon of Calisaya, for the preservation of the health ofoursoldiers. This article has a pecu- Har effect upon the liver, and guards tho eys- tem against disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is eaid that the grea: success of the Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previ- ous toour unhappy difficulties was foand in most Sontbern homes, was owing totheextract of Oaliseya Bark which it contained ae one of ite principal ingredients.—“ In confirmation of this, we have 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 Ritters. Now that these Bitters cannot be obtained, a substitute should be pre- pared. We understand our government has opened negotiations with Dr. Drake, througha seeret agent, but with what trith wa do not know.” * © * * © % & We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmond Whig for its remembrance ot “Auld Lang Syne,” but we can assure “Our Government” that the Plantation Hitters are notfor sale toany “secret agents,” North or South. There is probably several other things that “Our Government” will yet want, : We know that wo have the bestand most popular medicine in the world. We are not afraid to show what it is compored 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 Franca, for the encrmous price of its own weight in allver. It is remarkable for Dyspepsia, Fevers, Weakness, Constipation, &c. CascaBILLa Barx.—For Diarrhea, Uolic, and diseases of the stomach and bowels.

Yes- terduy, Provost Marsal General Fry arrived mm this city from Waushiugton, and had an in- terview with Col. Nugent. The particular business Which was the cause of this sudden Visit hus not transpired. There is every indi- cations however, that the draft will be recom- menced on Weduescay or Thursday next. There haye been teveral. cases of fraud brought to light at the Provost Marshul’s office relative to the fornisbing ofsubstitutes for other States. Men who enlisted in this city deserted snd proceeded to Providence, Philadciphia and other places, forthe purpose of obtaining the money which is there being paid for sun- stitutes. In view of this fact, Gol. Nugent has dis patched to those places several detectives, in Orécr to Acresi tho-e men. Over forty have ready been arresied. It appears that in Providence this traud bas been practiced more than at Any other place. There is a regu'ar system of brokerage carried on in this city for the purposr cf co: ying these substitutes to the above localities, ind this uetion of Colonel Nugent will have the effect ef materially checking these speculators. Colonel Nugent will now, in addition to the other nine Gistricts, have under bis charge the ict, which consists of the counties of ester, Rockiaad and Putnam.—. i Herald of Sun New York papers of Saturday sy: Governments are mors active; 3 are firma; railroad bonds strong: ate bonds dull, and raitroad shi evening bark oF erder V0. yt. dey Son from the ce’ 1 willin afew ys be in the pissession ofthe National toré-s.
