How the Kentl'csians Handle a Rifle. — An intelligent correspondent who lately left Baltimore fore Harper’s Furry and other points in Virginia, gives the following account of his observations in a p: ivate letter: At Harper's Ferry, a Keatn;-kian challeng ed a Virginian to shoot with the r.fiv. The distance was a hundred and fifty yards. Old Kentucky covered his sx bullet holes with a half dollar, and Old Virginia was obliged to get a small tin cup to c >ve,- his; but he claimed the victory, on the ground that liiscl bullets were twice the size of his adversary’s. Twenty-eight men shot on the same day, at three hundred yards, at a log the size of a man, and twenty two bullets pierced it. These shots were all off-hand. There is a company here who practice at double quick time —a full trot—and they seem to dor.early as well as those who fire standing. They are terrible fellows, and seem to have a most insatiable desire to fight.’’ White Pine Shoe Soles—How the Sol diers are Swindled —We invite the atten tion of the true friends our patriotic sol Iters to a letter from a visitor to Camp Scott, i r > reference to the miserable clothing furnishe I in the name of the State to the troops now there. The writer is a responsible and reli able authority,whose name has been left with us. As a voucher (which was scarcely nec essary) our correspondent sent one of the shoes he speaks of, which, after two day’s wear, had dropped to pieces. The insole of this specimen of the State supplies was a thick white shaving. [ Philadelphia Enquirer. On the 4th day of March last, in the presence ot assembled multitudes of the A meriean people, the eminent and venerable Chief Justice of the Unite 1 States adminis tered t> Mr. Lincoln, President, the sol emn oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” In less than three iu >nths, in the discharge cf h's high offi-itil duties, the Cid.f Justice finds himself compelled to decide, that the powers which the President bt'jt undertaken to exercise, and also to dele gate toothers, are directly in violation of the Constitution.— Ch.

Haselton, 46 America, near Amherst-stieet, has contemplated and is preparing ft>r the manufacture of cheap sewing machine*, ranging in pri'-e from $25 to? 50, and to be warranted, in 'x-e and ser vice. Mr. Haseltow in a competent and ex perienced.machinist, and has enjoyed large experience-in HUpcrintonding and repairing sewing maebines. He will also be prepared Boon, if proper’? encouraged, to furnish machine needles, for which there will be a demand.

Mr. Merriman, Preside nt of the Agricul tural Society of A’arrlund. who was arrested by Lincoln's merciTinrien in Baltimore, ob tained a writ of habeas Corpus from Chief Justice Taney. Gen. Cudwalladcr was sum moned to appear and produce the prisoner; out, instead of doing so, he sent his Aid with a message that he was too busy to come, but said nothing about the prisoner. The Aid, however stated that the General was acting un der authority from the President, who had directed him to suspend the habeas corpus.— The prisoner not being forthcoming, the Judge issued a writ for contempt against the General, returnable the next day. The next day the Marshal made return | that hreoiild no execute the writ, not being I allowed entrance to Fort McHenry. The ! Chief Justice then stated that the detention of the prisoner was unlawful: Ist, Because the President bad no tight to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, nor authorize a milita ry officer to do it; 2d, A military officer lias n> right to arrest mid detain a person, not subject t» the rules and articles of war, for an offence against the laws of the United States, except in aid of thejudieial authority, an i subject to its control. The Judge stated that he should lay the ease before the President, in order that he might perform his constitutional duty, to enforce the law by securing obedience to the process of the Court. This is >x decision by the highest judicial authority, that the whole of Lincoln’s proceed ings are in violation of the Constitution. But wliat cares Lincoln or Black Republicanism f>r the Constitution? The Constitution is tde.id. Liberty in the Northern States is a name.

Having gone a certain length, there is no step backwards. The administration cannot pause. It must at once push forward. The reasons for aggressive warfare tire several. ; Ist.

They ' are living on their capital r and deprived of j the income and profits of Southern trade, that capital has a bottom.

The administration can neither restrain their troops in order, nor direct and control Northern public opinion. Having raised the storm, the government is driven forward t> immediate action. 3d. Drl iv is fatal to their foreign relations, i Their selfi-h commercial policy makes bo I friends. Already their hesitancy and long ! delay have forfeited the confidence of Europe ! in their boasted power and capacity to carry out the programme of Southern subjugation, Further delay on their part is also firmly es tablishing the opinion of Europe in the de facto existence of the Government of the Confede rate States, and the commercial benefits of an alliance.

C. G. Mem mincer, to the Treasury portfolio. His qualifications forth it imp >rtant and responsible post had been thoroughly tested and approved by a long an 1 active career in charge oi the Le gislative finances of the State, and by a dil igent study and mastery ol all the details and conditions and elements of financial practice and adjustment of taxes and disbursements. The impress of bis master mind in this de partment is plainly marked on the legislation of the State he served so faithfully and effi ciently, and nothing but the common opinion and belief that he was the right man for the Confederate Treasury, could have induced South Carolina, without regret, to consent to . the transfer oT his services to the Confederate Treasury. An additional proof of Mr. Memmengers efficiency and vigilant co?” '•mnee iu bis arduous offi-e has transpire since his re moval fvin M mtgoinoi-y, on the way to Richmond. He visited this city, Ins home fir a few days, mi l while hero submit ed to our Banks a prop >sition which will supply a currency so much needed throughout the Confederate Scares. He proposes to issue Treasury notes of ul the usual de.laminations of Bank notes, to be fiwvlabla whenever de-' sired in per cent, bonds, the b inds to be re am verted into Treasury notes whenever de sired.

In the early period of the history of Methodi.-m, some of Mr. Wesley’s opponents, in the ex cess of their zeal against enthusiasm, took up a wagon load of Methodists and carried them before a Magistrate. When they were a-ked what these persons had done, theie was an awkward silence; at length one of them said: “Why they pretend to be better than others; and, besides they prayed from m iming ’till night.” The Magistrate asked if they had done anything else. “Yes, sir,” S lid an old mm; "‘an’t please your worship, they Con varted tny Wife: ’till she went among them she had such a tongue, and now she is as quiet as a lamb.” “Carry them back,” sai I the Magistrate, “mid let them convert all the Scolds in the Town.” TELEGRAPHIC.

The proprietors ami mnnnfncfincrsof IIOS TETTEiI'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT TERS can appeal with perfect confidence to physicians and citizens generally of the L'nited States, because the article has attnin’ed a repu tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will speak more powerfully than I volumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit ters for the last year amounted to over a half million bottles, and from its manifest steady increase in times past, it is evident that during the coining year the consumption will reach near one million bottles. This immense amount could never have been sold but for the rare niedieimil properties contained in the prepara tion, and the sanction of the most prominent physicians in those sections of the country where the article is best known, who not only recommend the Bitters to their patients, but i are ready at all times to give test imonials to its ’ ellieai-y in all cases of stomaebic derangemeiHs ’ and the diseases resulting therefrom. . This is not a temporary popularity, obtained j by extraordinary efforts in the way of trum peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid I estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is I destined to be as enduring as time itself. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have proved a Godsend to regions where fever and ague and various other bilious complaints have counted their victims by hundreds. To be able to state confidently that the ‘-Bitters’' tire a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and kite I diseases, is to the proprietors a source of un alloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid mutter from the stomach, purifies the blood, and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system, giving it that tone find < nergy indispensable ! for the restoration of health. It operates upon the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs, mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them to a condition essential to the healthy discharge of lhe functions of nature. Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily n, per directions on the bottle, and they will find in it a stimulant pcctillnrly adapted to comfort declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, : mid icjitvemitirig generally. We have lhe evi dence of thousands of aged men and women who have experienced the benefit of using this pi('par.'iiion while sulferitig fiout atomacli de i .'ingemiiits and general debility; acting under tiie advice of physicians, they have abatnloned nil deleterious drugs and fairly tested the merits of this article. A few words to the gentler sex. There are certain periods when their cares arc so harassing that many of them sink under the trial. The relation of mother ’ and child is so absorbingly tender, that the I mother, especially if she lie young, is apt to ! forget her own health in her extreme anxiety I lor her infant. Should the period of maternity arrive during the summer season, the wear of i Inidy and mind is generally aggravated. Here, ■ then, is a necessity for a stimulant to reenpe rate lhe energies of the system, and enable the nuitiier to bear up under her exhausting trials and responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigora tors that receive the endorsement of physi cians, because it is agreeable to the taste us well as certain to give a permanent increase of bodily strength. Al! I hose persons, to whom we have partlcil l.irly referred above, to witsufferers from fever, and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery; indigest loti, loss of appetite, and all diseases or derangements of the stomach, superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult their own physical welfare by giving to Hos tetler's t'clcbrated Stomach Bitters a trial. CAUTION.—We caution the public against using any of the many imitations or counter feits, but ask for Hostettkh’s CEi.ntntATi;i> Stomach Bittehb. and see that each bottle has the words “Dr. J. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters” , blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped ' ' on the metallic cap covering the cork, and I observe that our autograph signature is on the label. nJ,— Prepared and sold by HOSTETTER & SMITH, Pittsburgh, Pa., and sold by all druggists, grocers, and dealers generally .throughout the United States, bouth Amo idea, uud Germany. i Scovn, A Mi.it>, No. 105 and 107.
