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 In the main the same. Among the most promiuent are extreme lassitude, loss of appetite ss of flesh,and great mental de- pression. Ind ostion and a Stomach Cough are also frequently concomitants of this distressing ttate 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 vigor, vital strength; and as certainly as dawn succeeds darkness they can recuperate their systems and regain perfect health by resort- ing to HOSTETTER’S CELEBRATED STOMACH.

NEwBERN, i ap 1.—It is reported that the Government is nt to make an important seizure in the tion of the North Carolina gold mines, Recent orders instruct General Coxtoremain in command of this department until the return of General Schofield. There isa great rush of political sinners to Governor Holden for pardon. He has ap- pointed J.T, Hongh Mayor of Newbern. f * The Spotted Fever. NeEwnery, N. C., June 30.—General Cox having been nominated for Governor of Ohio, has been relieved of the command of this De- partment, and ordered to report to Washington, which leaves General Ruger in command. Parties from Wilmington bring alarming re- ports of the filthy and sickly condition of that city, which condition of things has been grow- ing worse since the arrival there fromthe rebel prisons of our soldiers, who were rotten with disease. It tis also reported that the yellow, fever has appeared there; but that is not be- lieved,as it is considered tooearly in the season for that epidemic. The blacks who have gathered there in great numbers furnish many victims to disease. The Newbern Times says the spotted fever has been raging Laie & among the blacks as well as the whites in Wilmington, and itis whispered that the yellow fever is threatened. We learn these facts from a Wilmington official. FROM EUROPE. Atlantic Telegraph—Rates Charged. By the China we have four days later news than we published in our lastissue. The news, politically, is unimportant. The whole length of the Atlantic cable was on board the Great Eastern, and the telegraph fleet was expected to sail on the 10th of July for ¥alentia Bay. The tariff of charges for telegraphing is issued. The terms’ are: To England, twenty words or less, $100 in gold; for each additional word, #5. To the Conti- nent, twenty words, #105; each additional word, 85 25. To Asia or Africa, twenty words, $125; each additional word, $625. These rates the company hope eventually to reduce; but at firsta high tariff is adopted to prevent the clogging of the wire with the over pressure of business. Z Diplomatic relations between Maximilian and the Pope had been suspended. The liberal party were gaining strength in Austria. The Reichsrath had determined to stop the supplies until the budgets of the two past years had been yoted upon according to the Constitution.

THE NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY The Getty: Ceremonies— ‘bra- tien im Various Cities—Enthusiasm of the People. The National Soldiers’ Cemetery at Gettys- burg was dedicated on the 19th of November, 1863, Edward Everett delivering an oration, and the presence of the’ late President, his Cabinet, the leading generals of our armies, and many of our most distinguished statesmen commemorating the occasion by theigipresence. The certetery includes seventeen acres, and occupies the ground upon which the center of our line of battle rested July 2 and 3. 1363, and is one of the most prominent and important positions of the whole conflict. 1t was esti- mated that some sixty-three thousand dollars would be required to complete the cemetery, which sum was divided among the different States having lots therein, in the ratio of their Tepresentation in Congress. The dead bodies were removed and buried with the utmost Every effort was made to obtain the names of the soldiers, and with very good success. The total number buried in the cemetery is thirty- five hundred and twelve. The following shows the number from each State:—Maine, 104; New Hampshire, 46; Vermont, 61; Massachusetts, 158; Rhode Island. 12; Connecticut, 2; New York, 860; New Jersey, 77; Pennsylvania, 501; Delaware, 51; Maryland, 21; Virginia, 11; Ohio, 131; Indiana, 79; Dili 6; Michigan, 166; Wisconsin, 71: Minnesota, 56; United States regulars, 136; unknown, North, $11; unknown, Sonth, 425; unknown, inner cirele, 143. The coffins are deposited side by side in parallel trenches. A space of twelve feet is allowed to each parallel, leaving five feet of s path between each row of interments. Fhe head- stones are precisely alike, and form a con- Unuous line of granite blocks, rising nine inches above the ground, with a width of ten inches on their upper surface. The name, com- pany. and regiment are carved in the granite. he center of the semi-circle formed by these graves is the spot upon which the monument will be erected, and dwarf shrubbery and trees will be so arranged as to entirely separate it from the lots.

Projecting from the angles of the pedestal are four buttresses, supporting an equal num- ber of allegorical statues representing respec- tively War, History, Peace, and Plenty. War is personified by a statue of the Ameri- ean soldier, who, resting from the conflict, relates to History the story of the battle which this monument is intended to commemorate. History, in listening attitude, records with stylus and tablet, the achieyements of the field, and the names of the honored dead. Peace is sympolized by a statue of the Ameri- can mechanic, characterized by appropriate ac- cessories. Plenty is represented by a female figure, with a sheaf of wheat and fruits of the earth, typify- ing peace and abundance as the soldiers’ crown- ing triumph. * The panels of the main die detween the sta- tues are to haye inscribed upon them such in- scriptions as may hereafter be determined. The main die of the pedestal is octagonal in form, paneled upon each face. The cornice and plinth above are also octagonal, and are heavily moulded. Upon this plinth rests an octagonal moulded base bearing upon its face, in high relief. the national arms. 25 The upper die and cap are circular in form, the die being encircled by stars equal in num- ber with the States whose sons contributed their lives as the price of the victory won at Gettys- The Democracy Called upen toRally {x ; Support of the President...
