They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required. They purify, strengten and invigorate. They create a healthy =ppetite. They are an autidote to a change of water and diet. They overcome effects of dissipation and Iste hours. They strengthen the system and enliven the wind. They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers They purify the bresth and acidity of the stomach, They cure Dys They cure Diarrhea, sia and Constipation, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ach They make the weak strong, the languid bril- iant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer, They are composed of the celebrated Oslisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum.

Ash Lloyd, President of the Board of Common Coume? Sir: A certified copy of & resolation passed our board October 26, 1864, a hea nt me to Jorm the board «ii there be sny legisiation required to enasle me to prevent the crying of newspapers throughout the Sabbath , or Peg church hours,” has bren duly received y me. 1p reply, I would beg leave to say that there is now no ordinance existing under which I can prevent the disturbance complained it be under the provisions of the ordinance a) Proved June 3. 1953, entitled “An act for the preservation of order and the protection of property.” The tenth section of thatordinance imposes a penalty uj on all persons disturbing any congregation engaged in religious exercises py proceedings in any church or place of wor- ship; and a8 it seems to me, rather too confined in 118 terms to reach the g) uon, A) Advise the e: nance fo meet the special difficult) tion of the Councils to the subject generally of the observence of the Sanday in our commau- nity, and the very great uncertainty and imad- +quacy of the ordinance in that regard. The whole matter deserves Attention, and its con- sideration will, I baye no doubt, lead to considerable improvemen’s in the ordinances already existing, by which provisions are made for the preseryaticn of public order on the Sabbath. Most respectfully, your obedient servant, ® B W»nx, Sup't of Police. Reterred to Metsr-. Peagh, Ste vhens, Ed- monston Ward, Swain. Dadiey, and Rheem.

Mr. Peugh presented a remonstrance of the property -holderson F s'rretagainstany change of grade of F street from 10th to 11th street, on the ground that their property would be seri- onsly injured, and he introduced a joint reso- lution repealing so much of the act for grading F street as provides for grading between the west line ef 10th and the west line of lith street, which was passed. The resolution was subsequently returned from the Aldermen witb xn amendment pro- viding \Dat the grade on that sqnare shall not be raised more then thirteen inches, which was concurred in. The following was introduced and passed: By Mr. Edmorston—Bill to floor the bridge on H street north ang 9th street east. : Mr. Ferguson presented the petition of C. T.

The following were reported from commit- tees and passed:—Mr. Wilson, drainage—for lxying Water main in sth street east, South Carolina avenue and Jib street east. Mr. Kelly, claims—tor relief of Letitia MeDonald; tor reliet of H. Kieiber. Mr. Ward, markets— increasing compeneaticn of the clerk of the Eastern Market.

The Council bill creating the office of secre- tary to the Water Board was recommitted. The bill increasing the compensation of the wa8ter tapper to $1,200 was taken up, when— Mr. Larner moved to strike ont the second section, which fixes the fee to be paid for pnt- ting in taps at $5, and argued that the sum heretofore paid was sufficient, agd that the bill would compel! the people to pay more for the work than a plumber would charge. Mr. Moore argued that the increased price of labor, &c , justified the increase, and that the heayy interest incurrec in laying water mains was to be met, and soon the principal must be liquidated. The people could not expest to have taps put in at a price at which the Cor- poration would lose. Mr. Larner remarked that the water debt was now £150,000, and its payment, principal and interest, was now provided for by a bill recently passed by Congress taxing property holders 6 per cent., which would also pay the expense of new mains, and this tax could be collected as soon as the Water Registrar made the assessment. The amendment of Mr. Larner was adopted and the bill passed. The bill authorizing the Mayor to lease cer- tain property along the line of the canal to C. H. Brown and G. W. Miller was passed. Adjourned. as 7” A correspondence has taken place be-~ tween Lieut. General Grant and General Lee in relation to the status of colored prisoners of war, particularly in regard to those placed at work on the fortifications protecting Rich- mond. Gen. Lee desires to know whether, the Union prisoners having been relieved from the work in the trenches, the rebel eee put to work by General Batler would also be re- lieved. He defines the policy of the rebel gov- ernment, and says that free negroes and 2 3 ab enlisted in free States have been, and will con- tinue to be, treated as prisoners ot war, but those who have been captured in the rebel States, and those who have absconded from their owners and enlisted in the Union army, when captured and identified by their mas- ters, are to be returned to them He argues the constitutional status of slaves escaped from rebel citizens, and says the right of property is not impaired by their capture. Gen. Grant replies very briefly, declining to discuss the constitutional quesuon, saying that he bas nething to do with that, butsays “that every person who is mustered into the mili- tary service of the Uniled Statesis entitled to protection, and when captured must receive the treatment due to prisovers of war,” and that in every case that comes to his knawl- edge of any different treatment being received by captured Union seldiers, whatever Lv color, retaliation will be made upon Rebel posanes in our hands. As he understands m Gen. Lee’s communication that the pris~ oners referred to had oven relieved from work upon the Rebel fortifications, he has eieny the release of the Rebel prisoners at Dutch Gap from turther labor.” FINANCIAL.—The N. ¥_ Evening Post says: The loan market exhibits tee eo To ease, the brokers loans are freely red at 7, and the transactions at are more numsrous.
