Intonso excitement prevails herc in conse? quence of an announcement in thc Havana jour? nals this evening that the revolution had termi? nated. According to thc published statement, the editors of thc journals have seen a copy of a circular signed by thc members of thc Cuban Junta in Sew York, ordering the insurgents to Tay down their arais for'the present, and giving as a reason for th* Abandonment of tho Insurrec? tion thc failure W a recent Uliimsterlng expedi? tion and Hie inability of the Junta to send "more mea; and furthf r the disheartening action of the American Government in permitting thc gun? boats td sail from New York. Thc circular scverc ry*attacks the course of Grant. The Junta ad v.soi the Cubans to submit t? thc Spaniards in onie? to save farther bloodshed. The Voce dc Cuba announces the surrenderor 1500 insurgents at Tunas, and the Diario an? nounces that ex-rebel General Coca offers to raise a body of guerillas to tight against the insur? gents. One of the Spanish gunboats arrived to-day. having become separated rrom Its companions off Charleston. Thc rest arc expected to arrive to? morrow. A lire to-ui^ht destroyed live houses in Monte street. A further announcement has been made from the interior of bodies or insurgents offering to capitulate. If all the news is true the revolution may be considered substantially ended; but the intelligence needs continuation. ? . WASHINGTON. . - WASHINGTON, January l. Representatives ol the press from Bichmond and Tetersburg have arrived here at the invita? tion of the Washington journalists. A speech of^ welcome was made at 9 o'clock this morning by Colonel Forney, and responded to on behalf or the Virginia press by Mr. Gilman, or the Whig. Th2 President's reception was not so nume? rously atteuded as on many previous occasions, thc weather being disagreeable. The reception began at hair-past ten A. M. The foreign lega? tions were in' full court costume. The Cabinet officers; the members of the Supreme Couralie Washington and Richmomd press, thc officers of th^army and navy in Tull uniform, local organi? zations, senators and representatives, aift the public generally, were In attendance. The marine band was present lu full uniform,' and dlsconrsod m ist excellent music during the reception. The Court of Claims meets on Monday. Geaer?l McClellan visited th* President to? day.

He will also sell one million in gold and purchase two milUous in bonds on alternate weeks (alternating with the sales and purchases on account of the sinking fund,) for the special fund. Thc result for the month will be a sale of four millions In gold and the purchase of six mil? lions In bonds on both accounts. The treasury wUl also anticipate the interest ou coupons pay? able In sixty days from presentation, upon rebate atc per cent. A tremendous gale of wind has been blowing here all day. EUROPE. LONDON, January L The damage by floods is estimated at ?500, 000. Ia many sections the low lauds have been rendered useless nntil spring. Letters from Madrid give accounts of recent in? terviews *jet ween Senor Banfes, TO Spanish Min? ister here, aud Lord Clarendon, in thc first of which the British Secretary said that he had re? ceived advices concerning thc cuban insurrection which represented lt as very formidable. The Spanish Minister assured Lord Clarendon that these accounts emanated from sonrces unfriendly to .Spain, and were greatly exaggerated. At a suj?equent interview Lord Clarendon .-nid that ^official information had been received at thc foreign office which led to the belief that the Cubau rebellion-was rapidly declining in strength.

Thc Opening Ceremonies - Imposing Scenes- A. Vivid Pen Picture - En? thusiasm of the Pope, &c. * ' Theskctches of the opening of the Vatican Counffl at^Rome, December 8th, by cable anti mail, heretofore published, have been so meagre and unsatisfactory, that wc give the following account of thc great event, forwarded as a special letter to the New York World from Its Suez Canal correspondent, Mr.Wm. Henry Hurlbut. The lotter opens with thc statement that ''the weather was exceedingly bad: the sky was bitter, black and rainy, such a sky as Dr. Cummings might bc supposed to have ordered.*' The writer says : ' TUE RAIN AND THE CROWD. It began 16 rain in a true Xoachic fashion before dawn, and the morning salute of four? teen guns from tito* castle seemed to bring down a fresh deluge, which continued without any intermission up to this pr?sent writing at 5 1'. M. In spire of thc weather, however, the Romuus. wilung even tobe washed rathertnan lose their "holiday, crowded the Piazza di San Pietro-literally crowded it from ike break of day on. ? Long before I reached the Basilica the Fathers oPthe Council had begun to assemble in thc halls and galleries of thc Vatican Palace to attend the divine service, which was ap appointed to bc performed by the Pope him? self, at an altar erected for tin; purpose in thc iipi>er hall ol' St. Peter's. Punctually at 8 o'clock the Pontiff appeared, and kneeling be? fore the shrine. Intoned witta that clear silvery voice, the sustained vigor and sweetness of which neither trials can wear down nor time make thin, thc beautiful psalm of the Veni . Great or. Meanwhile the deputations of the regular and the secular clergy were assembling along the royal stairway, and the not less royal porticos of the Palace and the Basilica. By a very considerate order the Pope had limited (be number of persons of whom these deputa? tions siiotdd consist, and if we consequently lost something in the length and effect lioness of the procession, which they lornied as at the centenary of 1807, to escort the Supreme Pon? tiff into the temple and tito council hall, we were also spared something of tedium and ex? haustion. TUE GRAND PROCESSION. By a little after niue o'circk the procession got'into motion, and sallied forth in the sight of the dense multitude through the colonaded .semi-circle of the portico towards the grand vestibule of St. Peter's. Even under that dull, gray, showering sky, it was a striking and picturesque sight; butas I recalled thc magnifi? cent glow and splendor of the oriental scenes through which I have just been passing, at Stamboul and ki Egypt, it seemed to me sadly to lack both lifo and color. In comparison with the glittering vision of the Sultan's caiques, gold-lacquered and crimson-canopied, sweeping up, with wide-glanciag white oars, over the deep, blue Bosphorus, to the marble steps of the Mosque ol' Ali, or with the fantas? tic, llutterlns, variegated lines or the Bodaween escorts, which had galloped past me so often over thc yellow sands of Ismailia, bearing with them the Empress of the French or the Kaiser of Austria, as in a sudden whirlwind ol scarlet and white and steel and gold, this long, winding, slow-pacing procession of hooded monks aud cowled friars, of black-robed priests and white-mitred bishops, showed like a drawing in chalk by Gustavo Doro, beside some sunset-colored painting ol' Paole Veronese. The way was opened hy the Dusse? tanti, the ushers of thc Apostolic Palace, lu their violet surplices and girdles. After these came in order the chaplain* ordinary and extraordina? ry. t!ic twelve black-scarfed consistorial advo? cates, whose fonctions correspond alter a fashion with those ol the ?'public orators" at the English universities; ?fOamarieri iTOnorc, or honorary chamberlains, In their violet sur? plices and great sleeveless violet cloaks : tue Uaincricri Segretl, looking as if they walked lu .a body out of Vandyke's pictures ; the vielet tasselled singers of the Pontifical Chapel, whose singular duty it is to cheat Santa Cece? lia (if 6he ever listens to their singing) into the belief that they are pertormers of her own sex; thc College of the Prelates, excepting only the four "prelates of the violet tassels," whose prerogatives point the way directly up for them Into the College of Cardinals, "and who are accordingly allowed to follow directly alter, instead of preceding, the Pope on such occasions as thc present; tbg. Masters of the Sacred Hospitals; the Thurifers, swinging their gilded and smoking censors; the cross bearers holding high the sacred emblem; the acolytes In their decent garb of white. PROFOUND ?RATIFICATION. But all these were precursora only ot thc great body ol* the show which Rome braved the rain to see, and a kind of suppressed sob of gratification went up Irom the close-packed multitude os the first file appeared of the gath? ering mitres of the hierarchy of the church. The mitred abbots lcd the array, close followed by thc bishops, the archbishops, the primates and thc patriarchs, the cardinals, and crown of all. i he Pope himself, swaying iriddily to and iro above the undulating line in the se?ia gestato? ria, the portable throne of the successors ol' Peter. PAPA!. SUNSHINE The Pontiff turned towards the vast shout? ing aud smuggling masses of the crowd in the piazza his bright, sweet, venerable lace with a smile of which lt really ls hardly too much to say. as it was said of the smile ol the Princess of Lorraine, that "to look upon il is like stand? ing in Hie sunshine." As I had seen him last, standing on the steps of Sau Paolo iuore de Mura, on a burning day injune, ls<?7, so seem? ed the Pope on this dull, drizzling day ol' De? cember, lStlO, not one Infrr older, not a thought more troubled, not a shade saddened hythe flight of Ute moments which are carrying him forward so last to the ominous goal ot' the "years of Peler." If ever there was a man ot whose lace one-may say, as poor Margaret Fuller said of the silty "his own inward thought make!h hun glow," the Pope Isthat man. He, and not another, devised und de? termined upon this great,?; this ?xjrilous ex? periment of an (Ecumenical Council. THE PONTIFF'S TRIUMPH. All the secular personages who, for generous or ungenerous reasons, cue to proiect. and preserve his posilion, llave urged and entreated him to avoid it. His keenest-sighted and most worldly-minded adviser. Cardinal Anto nelli. is known to have looked upon ii from the first with dist nwt and dissatisfaction, and io have washed his hands of all responsibility fur it. lt is tin" Pope's council; ila* consum? mation ol" a faith willoh more deeply, alas! perhaps, than an; or all of the myriads there assembled about him to-day in Sf. Peter's place and in St. Peters church, thu simple, mirnest, kindly old mau cherishes in the reaill v and majesty of thc ol?co which lui bears. Ai? lie looked lortli orer the people from Iii- ';: gular elevation, Iiis eyes Loamed with a kind m' mystical triumph ul once mus? curious um! most pathetic to behold. Front the singers moving before him wein up steadily tile strains of the ancient invocation, "Veril Creator." growing fainter nud fainter os thc procos lou wended ils., way through the grand vestibule into the Basilica. Rut every lineament lu the Pontiff's lace seemed ul ouee to echo the sanio strains and io Mrociaiin Hiern answered <. Heaven. ' THE ll4U. OF COUNCIL. Willi the disappearance of thc Pope under the great vestibule, I felt that lite lime had come forme lo avail jnysell ol' my priva'e en? trance into' the hall ul' the CsjiUCll If I ex? pected lo see or to hear aught ol' ?Ul therein about to be transacted. 1 left the Test ol' Hie Papal procession, the generals of the order of tiff clergy, the officials of inc Council, the stenographers and thu rest, to proceed us they best might through the crowd ol the* failhtid imo the Cathedral, und pass? ing swiftly by thc lower chapels ol the nave, which were converted by heavy curtains of crimson into vestures for the epis? copacy, made my way iiuo*'*tlie Aula Cu/i c/fii. " This hall of the Council, I dare say, has been described to you already by your cor? respondents who have been in Rome for weeks past, and I will not, .therefore, dwell upon its merits or demerits at this Chue. It is. simply, os you know by this time, the right winy of the grand transept of the church, walled off from the rest by a temporary screen painted to resemble masonry? and accessible Iroiu the body of the building Hirougn lolly doors ol'wood-work coveiyd with canvas and painted to imitate bronze. Had the day been favorable, the scene on which I looked down as I look my seat would have been grand and Striking enough. lu the lolly tribunes erected on cither side thc papal aliar and throne were assembled a great crowd of people of more or less distinction, and of both sexes, arrayed In gala dresses the most various and thc most brilliant. DISTTNGCISnBD PERSONS. Among them I made out thc Empress of Austria, who arrived here yesterday, (strictly incognito) and her sisters, the ex-Queen of Naples and the Countess of Irani, three wo? men whose grace and beauty arc worthy of a better fate than the dismal sort of lifo to which their exalted birth has condemned them; thc Count of Girscnti and the ex-King ol' Naples, t wo unhappy-looking personages, just new of a place, but'both gotten up quite marvellously in scarlet uniform, bk;.iiug with orders; a cou? ple of English generals, general Sir Vincent Eyre and General Babrington; several German ambassadors ?md ministers, in abundant gold lace: a knot of French officers; a Spanish gran? dee, wearing the golden fleece about his neck, and of Roman dignitaries und Roman ladies, I know not how many, nor in what strange and splendid varieties' of costume they yere clothed. THE PRELATES SEATED. . On either side of these tribunes, and a little below Hiern, row beneath row, ran the lines of scats in which tho "grout rasiyng throng ol' pre? lates, archbishops, bishops, mitred abbots, and the rest were seat lng t hemselves lo the number, as nearly as I can with anything like accuracy d?termine, ol'about eight" hundred and forty. Of seats prepared and numbered there were in all seven hundred and sixty-five precisely. These were all occupied, and thc unexpected influx of ecclesiastics during thc last two days had compelled the caiiurieri charged with pre? paring the hall to add a double row of unnum? bered seats below these, which also were filled to-day with august and pious personages. SOMBRE ANPTHRILLIXO SPECTACLE. All, as I have-said, were in moMon when the ? spectacle first oroke upon me, and had but a single ray ol' sunlight nickered down through tile dome upon the motley and magnificent muss, il had been indeed a briHianl and mem? orable vision. But for the first time, within my observation of this incomparable building. St. Peter's to-day was as dark as St. Paul's on the solemn eve ol the funeral of thc Iron Puke. An awful gloom brooded over the whole scene. Vast as ls Ute capacity of the church, it was, like the piazza without, literally filled to thc utmost, and the darkness which mado it difficult to distinguish the faces of persons' who sat but a few paces fromme within the euclosure of thc council hali, being equally profound and almost appalling upon thc huge multitude without. The white mitt- ; and stoles of the bishops alone relieved in a certain measure the gloom, as in an apparently inter? minable order they advanced two by*two to salute, first the Pontiff, sitting white-mitred in his narrow, almost Mahometan pulpit throne, and then the great circle of thc erimson-robed cardinals behind him. CEKKMOXIKS, kV. This ceremony alone consumed, by the watch, an hour and three-quarters. When it was over thc Cardinal Deacon Patirzi advanced and celebrated amass at the altar, willusing ing which I own I thought but indifferently good, and the effect of which, had it been good, must have been sensibly Impaired hy the acoustic Infelicities of thc temporary hall. When lite mass had ended the Padre del Trcnto arose and pronounced a discourse, of which il was impossible to hear more than a few words here and there, but which was uttered with an animation and ginee of gesture nut unworthy the reputation which the Padre cnioysof being thc very best preacher known to thc" Pontifical Court nt Borne. Aseries ol'ceremonies then followed, which culminated in the Investiture of the Pope with the pallium by one ot'the Cardinal Deacons, while high and shrill re? sounded the chanting of psalms by tlie singers of the chapel. The Pope, once vested, took his seat, and the whole body of the fathers, as? sembled in the order of their rank, proceeded to pass before him. nuking reverential homage as iliey paused at his throne, and kissing, each in his turn, the Fisherman's Hing on Iiis ex? tended hand. This ceremony lt was impossible, to witness without feeling profoundly impressed by the magnitude und the subtlely ol' the relations to which lt bore witness between this ancient scat of dominion and the soul and mind of Hie whole civilized world. What nation, what zone, what race was herc unrepresented ? A nd all these glittering shepherds of solitary di? verse flocks, each in his fold a prince and a power?, came up here humbly bowing himself to the earth before the venerable old man, whose single voice it is the duty of them all to proclaim thc voice of Heaven, even unto the uttermost parts of the earth. Who shall pre? tend that science is king, or commerce loni of mankind, in the presence of such a spectacle as this?. ENDURANCE OP THE POPE. Striking though lt was, however, the cere? mony of the " obedience*' ended by being tedious-lor lt lasted rather more than two hours-and when thu Pope arose at thc close of it, and after reading a brief prayer, proceeded to deliver his hortatory address to the council, he had already been on foot and in the harness of his Junctions for more than seven mortal hours. Is it not really noteworthy that at his age. and with his many infirmities, Pius* I*? should have been able to pronounce, partly from nolcs and partly, cs I can avouch, extem? poraneously, an elaborate and earnest address of more than three-quarters ot an hour In length, and fjiat not only in a clear and reso? nant voice, but with* positive bursts of really brilliant eloquence? As he drew towards the end of his speech, tho Pontiff dropped his notes carelessly, and for more than a quarter of nu ? hour, raising his exquisite voice willi the fire and vigor of youth, exhorted his bearers to pa? tience and devotion and courage in Hie great work of reconstituting and re-cstabllslihig the faith of the world, which was now laid upon them. The address of his Holiness was taken down by the stenographers. Thc address was followed by a season of silent prayer, and ihat again by a chant, Riler which the prefect of the ceremonies, less politely lhau distinctly, bade us all depart who Lud no part in the council, crying out, willi a clear voice. "Exeunt onuits '/<(< tonn): nun hube uiit in concilio." * TnE CLOSE. And so fre departed, it being ihcn alroasly close upon haltyast three o'clock. My letter must be ou Its way before half-post live." Judge, then, if I um to be forgiven for my abrupt cou clusiuil. 1 can only add thal there will be no further meeting of the council in the Vatican Basilica uni il thc Epiphany, thal being thc '?i li of Januar)' next. The que.'lions of the faith will bc discusscil and settled in the interval by Hie various ..commissions'" which ure to render un their tn;-! on the day ufuremcnliotioil as soi cuiuly as they have lids day received ii.

Audi What Came cfit-TJic Sud of "JCiortf Hubert Ainsley." Lus; summer there appeared iii New York City ti young man calling himself Lord Hubert L. S. Ainsley. Hu ingrat hit eil himself imo fashionable society, dressed fashionably, gave fine dinners, and rode in an English i 'cart drawn by a horse ..bobbed"1 in u style supposed to be English, and at Iiis back was ti "tiger" in all the dignity of lop boots, gilt buttons and cockade. With a claim to a title and so much appearance ol' wealth, his society was courted by some wealthy persons. The New. York Post says : He formed the acquaintance of a wealthy young lady living on Staten Island, and soon It became know? that they were engaged Lp be married. About this time it was whispered In "fashionable circles" Unit Hie fellow was an imposter, and that no such name UH "Lord Ainsley*** appeared in Hie English book of the peerage. " These rumors became so widespread and annoying that the mother of the young lady dispatched a messenger lo England to ascertain about thc antecedents of tuc man. The instructions were fully carried out, and il was discovered that the person claiming to be a lord liad been an English valet to a French gentleman in Paris, where he had mustered two or three languages and learned thc ways of "society;" that his name was Richard Rad? ford, and "that his father was Hie keeper of a stable in London; and that, tinnily, he was a mere adventurer and gambler. Notwithstand? ing this report, the newspaper exposures und the scandal which followed! the young woman clung to thc man and married him. The rest is soon told. He made a brief trip to Philadelphia, attracted attention by the ex? cellence of his dinners, and then returned to this city, where he engaged a furnished house on Madison avenue. Por a few weeks he fol? lowed up the same stylo of living, and then tookjoflgings in an obscure boarding-house in the same ujyghboihood. A day or two ago his wife arose from her bed lo find ber dia? monds, money, watch and her " English lord," all gone. On thc table lay a note saying that he had gone never to return. The wile returned to her mother on Staten Island, where she is said to bc lying dangerously ill of brain fever. It should be added that this impostor suc? ceeded in making Iiis way among a certain kind of wealthy society, in spite ol* warnings of the press; that'he was able to persuade thc daughter ofa wealthy family to marry him, in spite of the fact that lils pretensions liad been exposed lu public as well as' in private, and t hat long after lt was most clearly ascertained that he was an imposter, his invitations to dinners and oilier festivities were freely ac? cepted by many persons wno make pretensions to sociafstanding. THE CASE OE GEORGIA. What Gen. H ii 1U i U says. If anything were required to noll the false? hoods of thc Radicals about Georgia to thc counter, it will bc found in the nnnexed ex? tracts from the official report of Major General Halloek, commanding the military division ol' the South, accompanying the annual report of the Secretary of War. It will be found in di? rect antagonism with that of General Terry, upon which was pretendedly based thc necessi? ty of the expulsion of that State. General Halleck's report bears date November G, 18G?. Wc quote: Inspection and other reports, however, rep? resent it lo be entirely tranquil, except in cer? tain districts of .Georgia and North Carolina, where there has beeu some disorders requir? ing military intcrfeence. the civil authorities being unwilling or unable to enforce the laws lor tile protection ot life and property. It. ls not easy at the present time to deter? mine upon the extent und character of these alleged disorders; but official investigations have generally proved the reports to be either unfounded or greatly exaggerated. After a carctul examination of all thc evi? dence I have been able to collect from official reports and the statements ot officers and citi? zens. unbiased by partisan feelings, lam forced to the conclusion that ihe amount of crime committed in thc several States of thc division is very lillie greater than before the rebellion, and certainly no greater thun was reasonably lo bc expected at the close of an embittered and prolonged civil war, when large numbers ol' lawless ?nd desperate characters, botli at the North and in the South, were turned loose upon society without any legitimate means of support. Certain districts of country may. and probably do, form exceptions to this general remark; but even of these exceptional cases very few have any partisan character or politi? cal " significance. Those who. murder and rob do so simply as murderers and robbers, in? fluenced by thc motives which ordinarily incite men to commit these crimes. One of the worst desperadoes in Kentucky served in the Union anny during the war: but bc and his band now rob and murder rebels and loyalists alike, as may best suit their purposes, at one lime claiming to bc Ku-KInx. and at another to bc nnti-Ku-Klux. Although there may be special organizations of outlaws iu particular locali? ties, nuder the name ol Ku-Klux, I am of thc. opinion that no such general organization now exists in the Southern Stales. It ls probable, however, that outlaws not (infrequently as? sume this name in order to intimidate the weak and credulous, especially wlicu calculat? ed to increase their owii.importance. lu regard to the interference of military offi? cers in local dilUciuTles under thc jileas of maintaining peace and good order, I think that no such military interference should be per? mitted, except on the requisition of t he Gover? nor of a State, and by order or the President, as provided by law. The principal occupation of Hie troops, in certain localities, ha< been in assisting revenue olllcers to execute the revenue laws, lt is very natural that these ollicers should call for the assistance ol' troops whenever they eau get it, for by this means they avoid danger and trouble, and increase their own emoluments at the expense of mili? tary appropriations. THE VIRGINIA TRAGEDY. A Pen anti Ink Sketch of thc .Sinyt r. From a letter in the Richmond Enquirer on the subject we extract the following: Now I will introduce the accused. Look nt him. You see before you a light-haired man ol fifty-two years of age. dressed in a plain salt ol gray cloth. He is rather under tho or? dinary height-about five feet eight inches high, is robust and vigorous, and possesses ti countenance that would attract any beholder. His nose is large and prominent, lib eyes largo and piercing, and his mouth of iucdium*size. His is one ol'those luci's Ihat plainly tells you ils owner is a first-rate man to have for a friend, but a terrible om: to have for un ene? my. Firmness, decision and tenacity of pur? pose are indicated by Iiis features, abd these qualities are so shaded and softened by an ex? pression ol'good humor and geniality that at a first sight it makes one like thc man. The lawyers in Hie case talked u good deal about "cooling Hine," und an argument was made by the commonwealth's attorney to show that the period which intervened bet ween the time when the accused first heard of his daugh? ter's condition and thc lime when he killed her seducer was snfticiculjy long lo prevent the provocation! from beiiiy effective as a le? gal justification of the homicide; (hat the frenzy of mind, theflbnomanlii which ont* of the wit? nesses said Hie announcement ol' Iiis daugh? ter's dishonor produced in Mr. Ayer, would have cooled down and died out. ami COI iso . .newly could not serve as a legal excuse for his ?iel. lt may have been so with some persons whoso, menial organization w:is different from his, bul ii is no! so with Mr. Ayer.

No petit jury in Virginia tan be empanelled who will lind him guilty. The common law ot the Slide, if I may so speak, sanctions his ockand justifies it. Durst mutes do not provide adequate punishment in cases of seduction.

Seventeen years ago he declared t hat thc new empire, which had then ju-:t been-proposed, could not be that tempered and durable monarchy from which every benefit was expected. The true monarchy, thc traditional monarchy, supported upon here dltary right and consecrated by time, could alone restore lo thc French people those precious ad? vantages. Events had proved that he was a true prophet. '-France and tho whole of society," tic says, "arc threatened with fresh convulsions. 1 am convinced now, as I was seventeen years ago, and 1 affirm it, that hereditary monarchy is the sole harbor of refuge in which France, utter so many storms, can lind repose and tittpniness." The Count adds that to expect legitimate re forms from nay other ki.:d of monarchy is to conn certain deception: that those who seize iiiwm power arc Incapable of keeping tito promi? ses with which-the** deceive tho people, because they ure condemned to appeal to the parlous of the people lust ead of their virtue?.

What ls the rational mode of procedure in cases of general debility and nervous prostration ? Does noe reason tell us that judicious stimulation is re? quired ? To resort to violent purgation m such a case is os absurd as it would be to bleed a starv? ing man. Yet it ls done every day, Ye.sObls stupid and uuphllosophlcal practice ls costumed in the teeth of thc OBEAT FACT that physical weak? ness, with all the nervous disturbances that ac? company it, is more certainly and rapidly relieved by HOSTETTER'S STOMACH RUTERS dhan by any other medicine at present known, it ls trae that general debility is often attended with tor? pidity or lrregularlty#of the bowels, and that this symptom must not be overlooked. But while the discharge of the waste matter of thc system ia expedited or regulated, its vicon MUST BE BB ciiriTEn. Thc irrrters do both. They combine aperient and anti-bilious properties, with extraor? dinary tonic power. Even while reraov1 . . ob? structions from thc bowels, they tone and invigo? rate those organs. Through the stomach, npoa which Hie great vegetable spcSBIc acts directly, it gives a healthy and permanent Impetus to every enfeebled function. Digestion ls facilitated, the faltering circulation regulated, the blood rein? forced with a new accession of the alimentary principle, the nerves braced, and all the dormant powers or the system roused Into healthy action; not spasmodically, as would bethe case if amere stimulant were adniinistered,*but for a cont.u nance, ll ls in this way Hiat such extraordinary chang?s arc wrought in thc condition 'bf thc fee? ble, emaciated and nervous invalids by tho nse of this wonderful corrective, alterative and tonic.
