There is a disease to which the doctors give many names, but which few of them understand. It is simply weakness—a breaking down of the vital forces. Whatever its causes, (and they are innu- merable,) its symptoms are inthe main the same. Among the most prominent are extreme lassitude, loss of appetite, loss of flesh, and great mental de- pression. Indigestion and a Stomach Cough are also frequently concomitants of this distressing state of body and of mind. The common remark in relation to persons in such a condition is, that they are consumptive. Now, what these unfortunates really want is cicor, vital strength; and as certainly as dawn succeeds darkness they can yecuperate their systems and regain perfect health by resort- ing te HOSTETTER 8 CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS.

The matter has been postponed until to-mor- row at nineo’clock, when the Sheriff will pro- bably call on the citizens to aid him in the ar- resting of the Provost Marshal. There seems to be some doubt as to whether the application for assistance to epforce the arrest should be directed to the Sheriff or Gov- ernor. : FROM NEW ORLEANS.

Harv Times 1x Canapa—The Canadian papers continue to complain of the declining prosperity of that country. Business is at a Rane still, money extremély scarce and high, and real estate holders are selling out and leaving in droves. The Courrier de St. Hya- cinthe, published in the eastern cection of Upper Canada, remarks: “At Acton and Roxton a large number ef nuuses are closed; families emigrate by ten or a dozen at atime. Nearly the same thing may be said of Stukeley, Ely and Waterloo. According to the statements of Tespeciable parties such desertion was never seen in those townships. It is estimated that one third of the population of these localities is going to the United States. The truth is, Canada ds no longer what it was before the commence- ment of the war now terminated. The market for the products uf the British provinces is in a large measure, closed up, and business in all branches is excendingly, depressed compared with former years. The Canadian people have become less hopeful in ret to the project of confederation, the intercolonial railway, colo- nization of the Hudson Bay territory, and other schemes désigned to give a new impetus to the general prosperity. Meanwhile the United States haye settled their difficulties, and look more inyiting than ever before.” ee R@-The Springfield Republican is res for the story ofa novel rat trap accidentally discovered in that city. A gentleman cap. tured a large turtle, cut offits head and left it out of doors, while he carried the rest of the animal into the kitchen to be made into soup. There was presently an animated squealing in the yard, and an investigation into the cause of it disclosed the interesting fact that a rat that +had come out to eat up the head had heen seized ‘and actually killed, and this decapitated head _ had hung onso tightly that it was necessary to use an axe to divide them. The Republican adds: “Nobody need malign dead heads after this.”” + u@The specie assets of the Bank of Tennes- see, captured somie time sitice at Augusta, Georgia, amount to four hundred and forty- five thousand and someodd dollars.

French Officers Fired on by a U. 8. ti nel—The French Commander on theRam- ge—He Expresses his Utter Contempt General Brown—He Calls bi Mr.** and Reads him a Lectures; By ge New Orleans steamer arrived to-day, we have some interesting news fromm the Rio Grande. There is an immense deal of fighting material gathering on both sides of the river— French and American—and it will require the utmost discretion on the part of the command- ers on both sides, to keep the peace. Here is a case in point. On Sunday evening, the 11th instant, at half- ast five o’clock. two officers of the Foreign gion, coming from Santa Cru mounted from their horses, and at the mOment of re- mounting they were fired on from the Texan bank by a man placed there as sentinel. On being informed of this affair, the commander of the French troops addressed the following letter to General Brown, commanding the troops at Brownsville: MATAMORASP June 11, 1965. General : Onc ot your sonatas, stationed above Brownsville, fired on two of my officers when coming from Santa Cruz. You have no diplomatic character, no letter of credentials—nor I. I therefcre write to yon simply asa private individual, in order to express my utter con- tempt for the wanton offence committed by one of the men for whom you are responsible. et Baron Dx Brian. Military Commander of the detachment of the ‘cion. What importance is attachea ta tne act com lained of may be inferred from the following in the Matamoras Commerce : In order to let the readers of the Commerce know what would be the punishment of a French soldier, if one of them should be con- victed of having wantonly fired at any foreign soldier, we translate the following article of war, inserted in four languages in the livret of each soldic “Attack without order or provocation against the troops of an allied or nentral power— Death.” This little book, the Jivret, is a precious refer- ence in which eyery soldier tempted into the perpetration of any crime, may find imme- diately what will be his reward. ; Are the Yankee soldiers furnished with a ivret 5 The same paper of the 15th of June contains another letter from the indignant and bel- ligerent Baron, in the course of which he says he has received no answer yet from General Brown. (Extract from the Baron’s Second Letter. “The epaulettes of a General are sacred in his sight. They representa career full of dignity and honored by arduous service. They are the crowning reward of forty years of self-de- nia] and devotion. “All the European Generals, and many in the New World, have these glorious clalins; thus the commandant has felt happy and hon- ored by being placed at the service of his Ex- cellency, Gen. Mejia. “If these officers who reckon on many years of service, and can point to such brilliant records, should receive from any éubaltern a letter in more or less violent terms, they would treat it as so much waste paper. ‘The covr- ardice or rascality of him who would have had the impudence to write it, would deserye nothing more. “But, ifa man, taken out of some shop, one knows not which, is improvised a gen from one day to another, and without eyen the mpst trifling military exploit in his history, pretends to claim a superiority over persons who have seen twenty years of service and campaigns; why then, in truth, but little notice should be taken of him, unless one might cause himself to be aroused once or twice at night to have a hearty laugh over him. “In fact, to feel vexed at him would be dis- graceful to so many officers, who, the world over, respect the military hierarchy, and who form a kind of brotherhood among themselves. “The levelling method of proceeding must be used, a method which those persons abuse, when they endeavor to place themselves on a footing with those who haye grown gfay under ie harness, after nobly devoting their whole life. “This is the reason why the Commandant, who reyerences military services and will never permit them to be prostituted, has writ- ten somewhaf cavalierly to Mr. Brown, as an individual.” (This is nothing, if not Frenchy. We are cu- rious to hear what notice of it was taken by “Mr.” Brown.—Exp.)—N. ¥. Ezpress. FisanciaL.—The New York stock market yesterday showed a general improvement. Governments were queit but firm. The sales at the board were not large, baton the street there was some fair transactions in Five- twenties, intended for export. The old Five- twenties advanced ¥. Ten-forties were x better. The new series Certificates of Indebtedness were }; lower, the old issue 44 higher. State stocks and railroad bonds continue dull, but steady. Gold was rather firmer, with more demand for cash gold. The money market showed still greater ease. Lenders were anxious to find borrowers for the interim before Wednesday, and offered a large amounts for that period at $ per cent. s7-In Montreal, General Dix was last week presented with an address by the students of the Seminary.
