M A R K U S ' GERMAN I These bitters are manufactured by the pro. prietor from GER5IAN ROOTS, imported bv him. The receipt of these Bitters was obtained by the proprietor in 1S45 , from an old ami experienced physician (then a phy­ sician in the Prussian armv), aud a graduate of the highest medical colleges of Germany. These Bitters are Guaranteed to cure the se- piiapa Af . DIARRIUEA, INDIGESTION. DYSPEPSIA, and are a certain preventative of FfeMALE SICKNESS, CHILLS AND FEVER, AND AGUE. Diarrhoea Is a disease characterized by an increased discharge from the Bowels, usually hi a verv liquid state, and sometimes contain­ ing a large quantity of Bile. Besides the vari­ ous purgative medicines, undressed or mui- gestahle food, or vegetables, acid fruits, oily or putrid substances frequently cause Diarr- hosa. Physicians distinguish various kinds of Diarrhu'a*, as (crapulosa) when the forces l>ass off ordinary quality; "liiliosa" when the bile is more abundant than natural; "mucosa when the excrements contain a quantity of mucus; "serosv" in which they are almost entirely liquid and watery; and "licuteria" when tne food nasses throush the body in an almost un­ altered 'state. There are frequently, »i»«> nausea and vomiting, a bitter taste in the mouth, a furred and yellow tongue, dry ana harsh skin, a full or sallow countenance, and if speedly checked, great emaciation. This is one of tqose diseases by means of which na­ ture strives to get rid of impurities, and re- store the system to its natural condition. Henee, when it is not very violent, and tne pa Hen l is strong, it is best to let it take its course for a short time, and bv taking only two wine glasses full of the Bitters for the first ten hours. For violent cases live wine glasses full per day, one before each meal and two between meal's. In any case great care should be taken not to stop it too suddenly. The treatment thus in ail cases depends upon the canse from which it sprang. For Indiges­ tion and Dyspepsia take one wine glass full of the Bitters before each meaL No family should be without a bottl®. Prje# ner bottle, large 80 cts., small BO cte. Manufactured by F. MARKUS, WOODSTOCK, ILL. In a recent visit to Tennessee I saw so beautiful a country, rich in all the liatural resources and advantages to make it one of the first States in the Union, that I am anxious to call the at­ tention of those who are thinking of seeking a home In a milder climate, to Its advantages. I have, during the past forty-five years, traveled over almost every Northern, Eastern and Western State-- for the past forty years have resided in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Mln-i nesota--Sixteen years ago I first visited Minnesota, and have never found. Un­ til visaing Tennessee, seeing itsadvan­ tages of climate, soil, abundant pure water, and vast storehouses of iron ore, coal, marble, copper, now being success­ fully worked, a state for which I would exchange Minnesota. As the great objection, in the minds of the^Northern people to settling in the South, Is the supposed bitter feel­ ing towards us by Southerners, I will give an extract frotft a letter by Dr. W. P. Moore, of Sumner county, Tenn.. a prominent citizen, which expresses the almost unanimous feeling of the citizens of Tennessee, at least. I had a good chance to satisfy myself on that subject, and made it a special point of inquiry--in fact I had little cause to en­ quire, as it was the • voluntarily ex­ pressed sentiment of all I met, and I conversed freely with representative citizens of all classes, from the hum­ blest laborer to the Governor of the State, including many of the once bit­ terest rebels, military men and Generr als of the Confederate army. Dr. Moore savs: "We are sick and tired of sectional men and sectional measures. We have played the tune of sectionalism to an impoverished South. We want peace. The farmers of the country, the toiling masses, demand it, We want, and must have, men and measures for the whole country. If we have erred, we think the debt is paid and we want receipts on that score. We are now in favor of going to work in order to build up this beautiful land, and in order to build up we must quit tearing down. We want more population. Our farms are too large. We can do betrerwifch a part, *aii# JbH the rest to some honest and industri­ ous man. The resources ot this coun­ try are equal to any in the world. We want them developed. And as far as there being danger in a Northern gen­ tlemen or a Northern lady locating iu this country, it is simply too thi-n, it is not only a falsehood but can be nothing but a political trick. We are ready to Welcome all who come in the true spir­ it. Let the Southern brother welcome in earnest the Northern brother,! and the Northe rn brothers xte nd the ikme welcome and prosperity in all sections will be the reward. J Then welcome ! We bid you weleortie to the South, And to our own delight fnl Tennessee, Whose romantic hills, whose fountains and fertile vales Offer homes to tfte induslrion?, the beautiful %nd free!" Its NATURAL ADVANTAGES. Tennessee combines more natural advantages to make one of the first states of the Union, in everything that is desirable, than any other territory in the United States. First. Its geographical position. It is centrally located, the dividing state between the North and South, so that all her immense products can most easi­ ly and rapidly reach every market in the Union. Second. It is one of the most heal­ thy States, especially Eastern and Mid­ dle Tennessee, so that immigrants from the North And all that heart can wish, in its pure air, pure sparkling water, and beautifully variegated scenery, combining the excellencies of the North and South, with few or none of their unpleasant features. Third. Its soil is equal, in most lo­ calities, to any of its sister States; and capable of a wider range of productions than any other territory on this conti­ nent. It is one of the best fruit-grow­ ing States. They commence picking the strawberry early in April, from that until into December, they gather berries and fruit, fresh from the vines, bushes and trees. They have an apple that ripens the last of May--a- peach early in June, and a succession of both lor six months. Fourth. It stands first as a farm and garden field, in its location and capaci­ ty. Inside of 8 to 20 hours its fruit and vegetable trains are landed in Cincin­ nati, Louisville, Indianapolis, Chicago, and hundreds of Northern cities, and too, from 2 to 5 weeks in advance of the Northern vegetables. Then, again, when the North no longer needs the products, the South that ratees mostly cotton, tobacco, sugar and rice, wants them, and these trains can be turned in that direction. Indeed,'if the whole State of Tennessee was put Into garden vegetables, she could not glut the mark­ et. , ' Fifth. It Is conceded, by all who have informed themselves, that Ten­ nessee is first of the Union in its iriin- eral resources, especially its iron, Coal and marble. Tennessee iron, which is in greater quantities than even in Penn­ sylvania, bears a premium of 1 to oents a pound over any other. Its coal is inexhaustible, and of superior quali­ ty, and its marble, in great abundance and first quality, from the coarser va­ rieties to the finest, and most richly variegated, tliat receive the highest polish.- : ' MARKETS-- M AXUF ACTT RING--CENTRAL LOCATION; The location arid capacity of Tennes­ see as a producing State, cannot be equaled by any State in the Union. It is so centrally located that its pro­ ducts can find a choice of markets* with less expense of transportation than any other locality. The average of soil for the great range of farming, is unequaled and Its excellent water powers, an<T su­ perior and inexhaustible supply (of coal so well distributed over the State^with its great supply of timber, for fuel, to make steam, will make it the cheapest location that can be found to manufac­ ture its products. Tennessee raises considerable cotton^ and lies on the, border of the cotton produeiug States. This cotton should be mainly worked up there, thus saving *,he freight on the raw material to the New England factories, and that of the manufactured article back to the South; At the present time nearly all the farm machinery, wagons, carriages, and in fact, every other article you find in the stores, warehouses, and in use, bear the imprint of some Northern manu­ facturer. There is no good reasou.ijfith her great resourci^ why Tennessee should not be the greatest place on earth for agriculture and manufac­ turing. With all these advantages, aud as the great objection to Northeners going there is removed and her citizens being more than willing to receive them, it is only a question of time, and that a very short time, when she will step to the front as a producing State. I have before spoken of the advan­ tages Tennessee possesses as a vegeta­ ble and fruit growing State. The Tenn.--and a Certainty at that--than in the mines of the far-oft region,/ It takes but one how to convince any oandid inaii of tha&. :x A WOfcD TO EMIGRANTS. ... > J. •'There is a great quantity of land sale,inconsequence of the destriic- tiou of the labor system. 2. A large portion of the old farmers can never adapt themselves to the change from slave to free labor, and are therefore, anxious to retire fropti th$ farm. v^V' " 3. Farming is not profitable unless' the owner can either "hold or drive,' arid this is what many farmers, cannot get their consent to do, and the conse­ quence is, they d<f not make it pay, con­ sequently there are many plantations, containing from 200 to 3000 acres, for less than the improvements eost. , 4. "It has often proved more satis­ factory for emigrants to go in small colonies,from 5 to50, families; They, are better satisfied, and go to work more earnestly and vigorously when they have the companionship of tlie.ir old friends and neighbors. Land in suffi­ cient quantities can always secured in one neighborhood to settle Several families. Coming in groups they are usually independent." They have a so­ ciety of their own. but they should not practice an exclusiveness.

A wall comes through the Cincinnati Gazette which dispels the- delusion that,"the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th. 1776. We were just in the act of subscribing, and thus aid with ortr mite the centennial cele­ bration next year; but now half the anticipated pleasure is gone when the writer discloses nine mistakes in sig­ natures and date. Some of them signed it later, while others arc reported J\S signing it who were not members of the Congress which passed It. We had unbounded faith, in our younger days, that Columbus discovered America,- but it vanished like the dews of the morning when II)stOry revealed its tale.

So we believed "the Jersey. A peachoj'vtnr(1 out there this lull. ;tiul one year from next summer, 1877. it would hear con­ siderably, The next year quite a full crop--the year following it would be in its prime. Apple trees come iuto bearing very rapidly. It would be a fortune to any man to go there--secure a good location for an orchard, put out 100 acres or more, in apples, peaches, pears grapes, &c., taking good care of them. The second year he would be­ gin to realize some returns, and after that more. Within ten years he, would become wealthy. " While he is doing this, 25 to -80 acres put into garden vegetables would clear him from $100 to §300 per acre each year. This is What my foiend Collins is wow doing near Nashville. This year he has40acres in watermelons, 20 in muskmelons, 10 in cucumbers and 6 in onions, 76 acres. From this, taking his former success as a criterion, he expects to clear $200 per acre. These products he can put into the Northern market from four to six weeks earlier than the North can produce them. Last year he found sale for all he raised in Nash­ ville. His cucumbers he will put up for pickles. If they do well he will make from $300 to $500 per acre on them. There are but fe^ vegetables but can be profitably cultivated thege and any amount of this produce can find a mark­ et North. Take for instance the three cities of Cincinnati, Louisyllle and In­ dianapolis, with nearly a million Inhab­ itants, and estimate what they alone would consume. Then consider that ten millions more would eat these pro­ ducts If put Into their market, which could be done inside of ten hours, fresli from the garden, and you will have a faint view of the magnitude to which this branch of industry can be carried. Another inducement to those who are thinking of seeking a milder cli- i^nate, to go to Tennessee, is this,--and it is n<f trifling consideration--that from this State you can reach almost any part of the Atlantic, Middle, South­ ern and Northern States, inside of 10 to 30hours, and at a trining expense, while those who go to the Pacific coast are almost as mucl/ Isolated from the rest of the United States at though they lived across the Atlantic Ocean, and it would cost them more to visit their former home, than would a pas­ sage frOm Europe. _ Iu addition to this; Tennessee Air- nishes a far more desirable climate than California, and her resources, when de­ veloped, are better than all the mines in the Pacific slope; in fact, any person with energy and skill, could realize mox;e; in a given time, from the soil of ' till it finally rusted. We wanted our Declaration to remain intact, at least the century out; but no, a ruthless hand plticked the laurels from our crown of glory. One thing yet remains--it is the contract with Noah. MRS.

Since arrangements fertile fast mail from New York to Chicago have, been progressing, various requests have been s^nt to the post oftiec department for similar service for other cities. Last week a voluminous document was for­ warded from St. Louis containing a monster petition, the signatures being classified by different trades and occu­ pations, such as bankers, merchants, shoe dealers, &c., all petitioning for service, and claiming to represent many millions of dollars of the interest of St. Louis.

In Austria and Hungary According to the official reports, therjs is a failing off in both quantity and quality, Iu France the floods oaiasion* ed large loss, though by no means so great as at first reported; and in Bel­ gium, Holland, and some portions of Gerthany, violent local storms have done considerable damage. Here in the Northwest, the harvest is progress* ing finely.
