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’ nthe main the same. Among the mest prominent are extreme lassitude, lose 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 areconsumptive. Now, what these unfortunates really want is visor, 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 BITTERS.

D. 1865, ind is @ voter qualified as prescribed by the THE MARY HARRIS TRIAL. ae PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY. ——_—_@—___ After our report closed yesterday the prose- eution called Dr. J. F. May to the stand. Mr. Carrington stated a hypothetical case, supposing a young lady of high nervous or- ganization and great yivacity, loses mach sleep, cks a friend, tearsa quilt, &c., and asked witness how frequently he had noticed such syuploms in cases of Nyatex or dys- menorrhoa, and whether from such symp- toms he would infer insanity. Mr. Voorhees objected to the question; the witness should have made a study of the sub- ject on which he proposed to give an opinion. District Atcorney Carrington said that the opinion of Dr. Nichols was passed upon certo hy pothetical causes.jand they desired to eile witness as to causes that might result from the physical condition of the party suffering under the causes named. Mr. Wilson argued that as Dr. Nichols bad stated the uses upon which his opinion was based it was perfectly proper for witness to say whether, from bis observation of similar ymptoms in other persons, they were neces- sarily a cause of insanity. The Court here questioned the witness when he stated that he had opportunities of judging of the effect of physical diseases upon the mind, but he would say he was not an expert on the .ubject of mental diseases. He had hever made the study of the mind a speciali He bad studied it as much as all educated phy- sicians do; but whenever he bad a case of in- sanity, and it developed itself strong, he did notattend to it himself, but put it under the charge of those who had made the study of the mind a speciality. Mr. Carrington said that the prosecution hela that any educated physician was a competent wimess on the question of insanity. Mr. Vorhees argued that the term physician used in the books when applied to insanity ane those only who had made a study of the inind. Jndge Wylie decided that the question was a proper one, and Mr. Bradley took ap excep- tion. Witness said he did not profess to know more than any other physician of good standing, but he had never made the subject of the mind a speciality. Mr. Hughes here objected to the torm of the question, and argued that all the facts as de- tailed by the witnesses should have been stated. Dr, May stated that it was impossible for him to say how often he had seen cases similar to those detailed in the question. He had seen cases of dysmenorrhea occur often without being attended by hysteria, If the symptoms indicated in the question oecurred at stated periods, witness should say they arose from nervous excitement depending upon uterine irritability. He would not say the mind of a person thus affected was not sane, but the case was not one of real insanity. _The prosecution here stated another ques. tion, as to whether a young woman of a highly nervous organization and vivacious temper- tonstitution and laws of the State of | ament exhibited the symptoms stated in the Tiorida in force immediately before the | first question—had armed herself with a pistol; tenth day of January, A. D. i861, the daie | gone to a public building, as, for instance, the a theso-called ordinance of secession: and the said convention, when convened, or the !egis- ature that may be thereafter assembled, will orescribe the quulification of electors, and the eligibility of persons to hold office under the constitution and vs of the State, a power the people of the several States composing the Federal Union have rightfully exercised from the origin of the Government to the present time, And I do hereby direct : Fost. That the military commander of the department, and all officers and persons military and naval si e, aid and as sad Provisional Goyarnment in carry efect this proclamation, and they are enjoined tenbstain from, in any way, hindering, imped- ing, or disconraging the loyal people from the «ganization of a State government as * ere authorized. 4ccond. That tho Secretary of State _proceca to put in force all laws of the United States the | saministration whereof belongs to the State Department, applicable to the geographical limits aforesaid. Third. That the Secretary of the Treasury proceed to nominate for appointment assessors \or taxes, and collectors of customs and inter- ‘nal reyenue, and such other officers of the {Treasury Department as are authorized by Jaw, and put in exeention the revenue laws of the United States within the geographical lim- its aforesaid. In making appointments the preference shall be given to qualifled loyal persons residing within the districts where their respective duties are to be performed; but ifsuitable residents of the districts shall not be fonnd then persons residing in other Sates or districts shall be appointed. Fourth, Thattue Postunaster General proceed teestablish post officesand post routes, and put iito execntion the postal laws of the United ates within the d State, giving to loyal rsidents the preference of appointment; but if sitable residents are not found, then toappoint Treasury; asked for a person; went to the door of his room and saw him; then secreted her- self, and as he passed her shot him, inflicting a mortal wound, and then fired a second time; made no effort to escape after committing the act; did not palliate the crime, and did not avail herself of the first opportunity; would these facts of themselves, or connected with those formerly stated, indicate whether the act Was an insane act; or could it he accounted for upon the assumption that it proceeded from an insane impulse, or ‘that it was impelled by a purpose of revenge. This question was also objected to by Mr. Hughes, on the ground that it was not a med- ical question, but one of fact. Mr. Carrington and Mr. Hughes argued the objection, which the Court overruled. Witness stated that it was with great reluc- tance he gaye an opinion as to sanity or insan- ity where the life of a person war involved. He disliked much to give his opinion ona hy- pothetical case; but in his opinion, if the ante- cedent condition of the patient was as men- tioned, and the circumstances had occurred as detailed, it would not satisfy the mind of wit- ness of in ity in the general acceptance of the term. is opinion was based on a general abstract question. ———_+e--____ Baltimore Markets, July 141th.

Why Etheridge was Arrested. (Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazetie.} Cairo, July 10.—Lient. Col. Dn Bossy, coin- mandant of the post of Columbus, on ‘Tau day last arrested Emerson Etheridge, in Weak- ly county, Tenn., on a charge of making trea- sonable and incendiary speeches against the Government of the United States and the au- thorities of the State of Tennessee. It is said that Etheridge had been doing a great deal of mischief lately, in attempting to fire the hearts of the citizens of his State against the constitu. tional authorities. Ina speech made at Tren- ton to the negroes, he told them that they were no more free now than before the breaking out of the rebellion, the proclamation of the Presi- dent of the United States and the action of the State authorities to the contrary notwithstand- ing. He has openly denounced Andy Joli as a thief;Goy. Brownlow as a usurper; and members of the State Legislature as willing in- struments of despots, &c., untilat last forbear- ance ceased to be a virtue, and he is now in 2 fair way to feel the power of the Government which he has been so free in maligning.
