Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak- © 8, lassitade, palpitation of the heart, lack o ppetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con- stipation, &e., deserve to suffer if they willno try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS, which are now recommended by the highest medi- cal authorities, and warranted to produce an im- smediate beneficial effect. 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 appetite. They are an antidote to a change of water and diet. They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours. They strengthen the system and enliven the wind. They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach, , They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrhes, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ach ‘They make the weak strong, the languid bril- jant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer, They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St, Croix rum.

Barr, Plant, Lewis, Brown, Canfield, Uter- mehile, Lloyd, Pepper, Noyes, Gulick and Mc- Cathron. A communication was received from the Mayor approving the following acts:—An act to provide for heating, lighting and furnishing, &c., the central rooms of the Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph; to cause certain water mains to be laid; to cause the laying of a water main in Scuth Carolina avenne and 11th street east; authorizing the laying ef water mains; for lay- ing a flag footway in the Seventh Ward. Also, 2 communication in zeply to the reso- lution ot the Board of Aldermen of the 31st ult., informing the Board that no authority had been given to any to fill the public alley in square No. 376 above the legal grade. Ke- lerred to the committee on improvements. Also, the following communication from the Mayor, as follows: Gentlemen : In answer to a resolution of the Board ot Alderman of the 24th ultimo, I have the honor to state that all and each of the sey- eral Police Magistrates of this city, as far as I am advised, still perform the functions of their office. The Board of Police claiming the mght to do so under the authority of the act of Congress creating the Beard of Metropolitan Police, has lately selecte:. Poiice Magisrates to sit at the several police siadion houses. These latter may have the mght to try Uor- poration cases brought to the station houses of persons arrested on view. They are not, how- ever, except thetwo gentlemen who are now officers of the Corporation, authorized, nor can they issue a warrant, or try & case on @ war- rantissned for a breach of any Corporation ordinances, &c. Though they do not super- sede the officers of that character of this Cor- poration, the appointment of such magistrates by the Board of Police, will necessarily ma- terially reduce their labor. The communication was refered to the committee on police, and ordered to be printed with the proceedings of the Board. Mr. Nore presented a petition from Mr. Anthony Buchly, undertaker, asking that the bill which was passed by the board at its last meeting in relation toembalming and storing of dead bodies in Washington be modified so s not to interfere with the business of the reg- ular city undertakers who conduct their busi- ness in @ proper manner, without annoying their neighbors. Mr. Noyes said that the purpose of the com- mittee in drawing up the bill was to put some restrictions upon the offensive practices of per- sons, mostly non-residents here, who carry on the business of embalming and storing dead bodies in wholesale sort, and in the most ob- jectionable manner, in the most populous neighborhoods of the city. The provisions of the bill were intended to apply to those who carry this on as a business; and the committee had endeavored to guard against interference with the legitimate business of our city under- takers, who were, 80 far as his acquaintance went, men of respectability and character, who would not knowingly annoy their neighbors. 11 further discrimination was possible in fayor of our city undertakers without defeating the purposes of the bill, the committee would cer- tainly favorit. The petition was referred to the select committee. Mr. Noyes introduced a bill to grade and pave the north alley in square 387; passed. Aleo, a bill curbing and paving the north front of square 467; passed. Mr. Pepper, from the committee on improye- ments, reported a Council bill to pave a gutter on the south side of K street north aha 3d street east; passed. Also, a bill to take up and relay a gutter on the north side of syuare 25''—@305; passed. Also, a bill from the Common Council to re- pair the bridge at the intersection of 9th street east and H street north; passed. Mr. Lioyd introduced a bill, accompanied by @ petition, toenlarge and pave the alley in square 42), and asked that it be referred to the delegation from the Third Ward; carried. Also, & bill from Common Council, referred to committee on finance, for the relief of Elisher McDonald, passed. Also, reported back the bill authorizing the Board to appoint an assistant secretary, and asked that the committee be discharged from the further consideration of the same; granted Bills from the Common Council were dis- posed of as follows:—An act to increase the compensation of the assistant harbor master; referred tothe committee on finance. Bill in relation to embalming and storing dead bodies in the city otf Washington. This bill was re- turned from the lower Board with an amend- ment fixing the rate of license at $50 per year; referred to the select committee. Bill to increase the salary of the Water Tapper. Referred to the committee on drain- age Bill authorizing the Mayor to lease certain Corporation property. Referred to the com- mittee on improvements.

Mr. Peugh offered a substitute providing for & clerk to the board and increasing the salary of the Water Registrar to $2,000 per annum. Mr. Ferguson moved to strike out the provis- ion increasing the salary of the Water Regis- trar; carried, yeas 11, nays 7. Mr. Wright moved that the salary of the clerk be $1,200 instead of €900; lost, yeas 7, nays ll. Mr Moore offered as a substitute for the bill passed by the Council, providing for the ap- pointmeni ofa clerk who shall perform the duties ef a Topographer at a salary of $1,500, Mr Ferguson moved that the salary be made $1,200 instead of $1,500; carried. The substitute was adopted and the bill passed. Mr Peugh, from & select committee, reported the following bill : Be it enacted, dc., That from and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful for any person in this city to cry alond any news- paper, periedical or other printed matter for sale on the Sabbath day, and for each and every violation of the act the person so offend- ing ehall be liable to a fine of not less than one nor more than five dollars, Sec. 2d, Thatit shall not be lawful for any person to keep open any barber shop or any place of business for the sale of any article or articles of profit during the Sabbath day, ex- cepting apothecaries, for the dispensing of medicine and all other matters of charity and necessity, and that for any violation of this act the person so offending shall, for each and every offense, be liable to a fine of notless ‘nan twenty nor more than forty dollars, and that the fines and penalties under this act shall be collected as fines usually are, and one-half of each and every fine shall be paid tothe in- former. Mr Edmonston was opposed to all snc legislation, and in times like these—war times— the people should have the news, Mr. Wright remarked, if the Councils were g@Oing to restrict the sale of newspapers, the city may as well be walled in, and the boys had better be compelled toattend church. All wanted the news, and especially the latest news; and, without meaning any disrespect to the committee, he did not believe that the mem- bers themselves would support the bill. He ‘was always glad to get the news, and he would have a paper, eyen if the boys charged a quar- ter for it. Mr. Edmonston moved to lay the bi:l on the table until the war is over. Mr. Larner said that there should be some enactment to provide against the disturbance of church-going people. The crying of papers about the church doors on Sunday was a cry- ing evil. Mr. Edmonston stated that there was more noise created in his neighborhood on Sunday by the Government wagons passing; which was a greater nuisance than the crying of papers. In his neighborhood there were many papers sold, and he was glad to get the paper. Mr. Moore said that as the bill had formally been reported, he did not see how the Board ould discriminate between this and any other business. They would now have to meet the issue. Mr. Peugh thought that the subject shonld not be lightly treated. Since the last meeting he had been complimented by some of the best citizens of Washington for introducing the bill. He argued that the Sabbath should be strictly observed. The crying of papers on the Sab- bath had got to be 2 serious evil, and now, while we sit in church, or are on our way therefrom, we are greeted by the cries of “Sun- day Mercury,” &c. He reterrad to the old Maryland laws, imposing a penalty of 200 pounds of tobacco for any violation of the Sab- bath. He did not object to any persons getting the news, but did object to the crying of pa- pers. The committee were unanimons in their recommendation. He did not think that they should stop toargnue whether allevils could not be abated, but they should lop off what they could. Mr. Wright asked what was so revolting about the little boys going about crying Sun- day Chronicle, Extra Star. He argued if those who went to church were paying strict atren- tion to the services in church they would not be disturbed by the cries of the boys. He would tell the gentlemen that if they went back a little further than two hundred years they would find that men and women were hang for being witches. He wanted to go forward, and not backward. The very gentlemen who were arguing for the bill wou!dall run to their doors and buy a Chronicle, Star, or other paper, especially jf the boy cried +glorious Union victory.” He thought it would be timeenough to talk about restricting boys from selling pa- pers when the noise of wagons, locomotives and steamboats was stopped, and the small liquor shops were closed. He did not think it consistent in the members in attempting to pre- vent the news of Union victories from being promulga‘ed. Mr. Pettibone moved to strike out the first section referring to newsboys; lost—yeas 4, nays 13. Mr, Wright moved an amendment making it “unlawful for steamboats to blow their whis- thes on Sunday ” This was altogether useless, He did not opject to locomotives blowing their whistles to warn persons of their approach Mr. Rheem moved to insert, “Or any other blowing.” The amendment was lost. Mr. Moore moved to insert “other article” in place of “printed matter.” Adopted. he bill was passed—yeas 14; nays 3, The following were received from the Al- dermen: Bills for sewer on I street, from 10th to 16th; increasing pay of. garbage collectors; to grade M street, from 15th to 17th streets—re- ferred; to pave and curb north front of square 466—passed; to pave alley in square 367— passed.

The Fall of Plymouth the Result of the Destruction of the Ram Albemarle— Rebel Accounts of the Blowing up of the Ram. [From the Richmond Sentinel, Nov. 4.) Last Thursday night, the Confederate ram Albemarle was blown up by a@ torpedo, near Plymouth, N. C. We learn that a small torpedo boat, manned by sixteen Yankees, proceeded down the river, capturing the picket boat, in which were eight pickets asleep. Two men were placed in charge of the prisoners, while the remaining fourteen proceeded on the expedition. The most remarkable part of the affair, as relaved to us, is that none of the crew of the ram were injured, and twelve out of fourteen captured. They succeeded in getting off with the eight pickets. The Fate of Lieutenant Cushing's Party— only. one Man of the Gallant Crew In- jured. From the Richmond Dispatch, Nov. 4.] The capture of Plymouth, N. C., by the ene- my is explained by later accounts. A lack of sufficient watchfulness on the part of our troops seems to have been the prime cause of the loss of the town. It seems on Thurs- day night a party of eighteen men, belonging to the blockading fleet in Albemarle Sound, some eight or ten miles from Fiymowt, took a small torpedo boat and for Plymouth. On the way they found a small boat contaming six of our men in the river, stationed there asa 0 au.
