As Surratt sits in court, with hat removed, we soo his face more clearly. A small bend, long, glossy, light brown hair, brushed, up from n full fair brow; 'small aquilino nose, so hollow,at its parting from tho fore? head that a child's finger laid across would hardly fill tho indentation; eyes gray, deep-set, uear together, earnest, secretive, but with a good deal of composure, gained, perhaps, in so long daring fate to do its worst; mouth weak, half hidden by a light auburn moustache, and a long, nar? row-pointed tuft of beard pendant from tho narrow chin. The face is almost a triangle, narrowing down regularly from the forehead on each side to ?be pointed chin. So the young prisoner sits, slowly moving a palm fan, noticiug each little detail in lawyer, witness aud spectator, usually soreue, sometimes smiling, through tho summer days, while tho scales vibrato, weighing his life or death. What memories must, crowd upon him! His youth at the Jesuit College; his deep zeal for tho rebel cause; his long night journeys with information from Washington to Richmond; then with money and messages from Richmond to Mon-' treal; running pickets; shot at by scouts; sad partings and glad meet? ings with his betrothed, who waits here to take tho stand and give her woman's voice for his life; tho loug Canadian hiding, going out only by night and in priestly vestures; tidings of the trial and execution of his fa? miliars; of the impending fate of his mother-(for human nature's sake his counsel should prove their asser? tion that he desired to come aud save her, but was not allowed to)-then of her ignomiuious death; tho secret ocean passage; the concealments in England and France; tho half year's service as a common soldier; talking everywhere of the ono great subject that filled his thoughts; his arrest at the little Italian village; his leap of thirty-seven feet over tho parapet to escape, with the connivance of his guards; his flight to Naples; then up tho Mediterranean; no permaucnt ro fuge-uo rest for the solo of his foot; his landing at Alexandria to find tho file of Janissaries waiting to arrest him again, and St. Marie, like an avenger of blood, standing by to identify him. Then sbip-board, pri? son", manacles, and this long waiting for the vordict.-New York Tribune. THE COST OF REOONSTUUCTION ACTS. The Secretary of War, in reply to a resolution of inquiry, says the proba? ble amount necessary to carry out the reconstruction Aots is $1,018,277. The general appropriation for this object, heretofore, was 8500,000, which was distributed as follows: First Military District, $69,441; Se? cond, 809,111; Third, 307,222; Fourth, $07,222; Fifth, $166,066. Tho Secretary says it appears, by es? timates, that n further largo amount is requisite-for the First District, $80,000; Second, 8161,805; Third, $27,778; Fourth District, estimated to July 1, in addition to 807,222 al? ready supplied, $216,539; Fifth, esti? mates for one month, dated April 17, for 8213,120, of which $166,066 has already been supplied, leaving a re? mainder uncalled for of $76,753. If Gen. O rd's registers, estimated to the 1st of July only, should be continued on duty and pay to tho eud of July, there should be added to the above expenses for that month, nt the rate of compensation stated in his esti? mate, tho sum of $159,781, and if continued to tho end of August, double that sum-8319,562. Thesame likewise of General Sheridan's Dis? trict was estimated for one month only. If the monthly expenses con? tinuo for a period of two months, at the rates stat ec they will amount to tho further sum of $218,120; if for three months, to $136,810. [New York Herald. Official Report on India? Afluir?. Tho following is tho substance of a portion of the report of the Commis? sioner of Indians Affairs, Jnly- 12, 1867, relative to tho existing Indian hostilities, in reply to n resolution of the United Statos Senate, July 3, 18G7: The causes of the war are the hor? rible Sand Creek massncro in Decem? ber, 18G4, of friendly Cheyenne and Arnpnhoo women and children, whieh lins since cost the Government niuuy valuable lives uud $10,000,000 in money. The establishment by milita? ry orders of tho Montuna road through tho best and last reliablo hunting grounds of tho Indians, und tho es? tablishment of military posts thereon, eontrary to their expressed wishes and protests. The uncalled-for burn of the tho village of tho friendly Cheyennes and Arapahoes, und the destruction of their property to tho valuo of 8100,000, by order of Major General Houeock. The report goos on to make a num? ber of recommendations, as follows: That tho Government set apart a territory somewhere North of the Northern lino of Nebraska and West of tho Missouri Uiver, of liberal di? mensions, for the exclusive oceupa pation and ultimate homo of all tho Iudiuus North of the Platto and of Iowa, and East of the summit of tho Kooky Mountains, and make appro? priations at once to enable this De? partment to make suitable prepara? tions for such Indians aa are now ready to enter upon pastoral and agricultural pursuits in said territo? ry. To iuitiato this policy, appro? priation is asked of ?1U0,000. Kecommeuds that a large territory be set apart South of tho Southam lino of Kansas, and West of Arkan? sas, including the present Indian Territory and the country kuowu as tho Stake Plains of Texas, and so much of New Mexico ns may be ne? cessary, for tho exclusive occupation aud ultimate homo of all the Indiana South of tho l'latto nud East of Arizona; and to inaugurate this plan an appropriation is asked of $100, 000. ' Recommends that all necessary provisions be made by Congress to procure at once that portion of Texas, or so much thereof as may be necessary, lyiug between tho West? ern boundary of the Indian Territory and tho Eastern boundary of New Mexico. Recommends that a commission bc appointed to proceed to tho Pa? cific const and Arizona, to select ont or moro reservations of ample size, upon which to concentrate all tin Indians West of tho Rocky Moun? tains; and for this object an appro priation is asked of $20,000. Thero aro on tho Niobrara River near the Platto River, about 1,50( friendly Sioux, who have separatee from tho hostile bauds. To thii number will soon bo added som< 2,000 or 2,500 friendly Iudiuus, nov on their way from the hostile country Pending hostilities, or until placed oi reservations, and until they shall hav< raised a crop or two, these Indian: will have to be subsisted by the Go vemment, or permitted to join thei hostile kindred. To give thom three quarter rations will cost $300,0UU and it is recommended that this sun bo appropriated by Congress, at th present session, for their subsist ence for tho fiscal year, ending Jun 30, 18G8. The friendly Cheyennes, Arapo hoes and Apaches of the South forced by General Hancock's cora maud to ubandon their nuntin grounds set apart to them by th treaty of October, 18G5, are now ti or near Fort Cobb, in tho India Territory, in a destitute condition nud number, it is believed, fror o.OOO to 7,000 souls. These Indian! if not permitted to return to thei own limiting grounds, must eitht be fed by tho Government or b driven to plundering the border ir habitants ?md wir. An nppropri: tion is therefore asked of $,"?00,00 for the pur poso of supply iug thea Indians, if found to be necessary. An appropriation is also asked < S100.00U, to enable the Departmon if found expedient, to rcmburso th Southern Cheyennes and Arapaho? and friendly Sioux for their villa^ aud property destroyed by our trooj in April last, with a view to restons peaceful relations to them and safe) and security to life and property c the plains.

Tim DISEASE: OK AMERICA Dyspopsia is s? id to bo the disenso of Amorica. Ita victims may be found in all stations of life. The poor as well as tho rich are sufferers from its life-destroying influence Tho symptoms of this disease vary greatly in the different stages of tho complaint. It gonemally commences with a BCU'jatiou of fullness after eating, and a changeable, diminished or lost appetite. In some instance*, tho appetite ia vora? cious, and when-in obedience to its promptings-a largo portion of food is taken into the stomach, pani follows in that region, with general distress, nerv? ousness and nausea. Flatulency and heart-burn invariably attend this disease. For all these symptoms, HOSTETTER'S STOMACH HITTERS will bo found an invaluable household remedy, as its alterative, correctivo and restorative properties are derived exclu? sively from roots and plants, the virtues of which are acknowledged by pharmaceu? tics and physicians. Separately they have often been prescribed by the profession, but were never combined until Dr. Ilostet ter gavo to the world his HEALTH-RE8TORINO RITTERS, which have proved a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia and its attendant evils.

"LtiS Society in aid of the Suf? fering and Destiento Poor oT the South" w?uld respect Hil!- and earnestly call the attention of the gi ?crons Northern public to the groat distress and fearful Buffering now prevailing in tho Southern States. Letters are daily received from the South, from the Generala Commanding, Govern? ora, ministers and eminent citizens, fur? nishing the moat heart-rending details of tho actual want, famine and starvation in their immediate neighborhood. Tho fol? lowing few extract? from tho very many hitters received by tho Secretary and Ma? nagers of tho Society are respectfully re? ferred t..: H'DQITARTERS, ITU MILITARY DIST., (MISSISSIPPI AND An KANSAS.) VIUKSIU no, Miss., May 13. lt>G7. I am glad tn see. that the attention of tho gentle and humane ladies of tho North is hi ing turned towards the sad and desolate condition of this once happy land. You, Madam, surrounded with the plenty and comforts of a wealthy city, can scarcely appreciate the fact that, in many parts of tho South, whole communities arc, by a failure in crops and the absence of inonoy or its equivalent, left m want of the neces? saries ol' life; and that poor women, with large families of helpless children, so ac? customed to depend on the labor of others, that, now, with no husband, brother or servant to help, and no money, thoy do not know what to do or whero to go for food; but aro left in the solitudes of these South? ern forests, in rags aud gaunt with hunger, subsisting on what the mother or larger children can shoot or pick un in the woods, or on what tho few neighbors, nearly as poor as they are, can bring them. Officers of my acquaintance have mot with such mothers, long after dark, out in the woods, with an old gun just (ired, and tlio coon or possum just killed; have gone home with them and met tho group of little starvelings waiting patiently mother's re? turn with some of the only sort of food they had tasted for weeks; and women and children have been found within sixty miles of the capital of a Southern State, during the past year, who had starved to death in their lonesome cabins. Theso cases of great distress arc rare in Southern cities, for there, oven the most delicately bred can generally lind some work which they can do to keep the wolf from the door: but the farms or plantations in the South aro pe? culiarly secluded, with miles of forest or swamp bet wei n them, poor roads, and the stock . w\ Animals nearly all taken by the war, the famine, the tloods, or the thieves, who in such times infest a country, ami the distressed families aro often, by the time necessity makes them want to leave, too siek to travel on foot anti then; is no olin r , waj to go. Your proposed entertainment, Madam, should it pro.Ineo indy funds enough to re? lieve aAsmall fraction of the destitution of this country, will bo a good beginning, and ? may be followed in other cities North by similar appeals to people who have happily never r it the desolation and tho horrors which follow in the tracks of great armies of invasion. (Jod speed your society in the good work, is the with of. Madam, voura truly, E. o. c. oui), Brevet Major-General. COLOMBIA, S. c., May io, ist;?. Permit mo not only to give you the as? surance of my poor lu Ip in this your gen? erous endeavor to relieve our impoverished and unhappy people, but to express to yon m their bellalf, that gratitude which is so eminently vour due for tho generous sym? pathy manifested by your organization for those among us in distress.

C., May 13, 1867. Tho excellent purpose you have in view cannot bo too much commended. The lib? erality of the Government of the United States, and the munificent contributions already made for the relief of the wide? spread destitution in the States, leaves great numbers unprovided with food and clothing. And m.ti! au abundant h.it v, - 1 enables the people hero to do more fe themselves, I trust thc ever generous and prosperous commit tees of the North will continue their noble gifts to this impover? ished ami a filie ted population.

HEADQUARTERS, FIRST MILITARY DIVISION, RicminxDfVA., May ll. 1SC.7. Afr*, ffarlowe Mather-MY DEAR MADAM: I shall be lon glad if anything ' ea suv will aid the society in its noble work. A large proportion of the people of the South bave suffered and many are still suffering almost to Die limit of endurance from the devastation of war and subsequent failure of crops. They are making every possible exertion to revive their various branches of industry and become self-supporting. The liberal assistance which the Northern poople aro well able to give, will relieve a great amount of diatre&s, and will no doubt ho sufficient to place the poor of the South beyond further Buffering for food. The recent manifestations of an almost univer? sal desire throughout thc South foraiealiv fraternal re-umon with the North, may weil serve to stunulate the generous sympathies ! of the Northern poople, while nothing could I do more to foster and encourage (he growth ' of a healthy sentiment in the South than tho generous aid which it is tho mission nf your society to invoke. I sincerely hope tho noble efforts of tho society may result in tho most abundant success." I am, dear Madam, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. M. SCHOFIELD, Maj. Gou. GREENSBORO, May 14, 1807 Have jn..t returned from a tour throu the section made memorable by "f man's march to the seaboard." Pov,. suffering and destitution of tho people ... . scarcely be realized-living in huts, rudely constructed of charred boards, of ralbi, bougha and mud, you ar? met by hollow eyed, emaciated forma, whose first words are "bread"-for something to stille the cravings of hunger. In ono place, 1 .wit? nessed the body of a child borne to its last rest, on a board, in tho saino raus iu which it died. In another, fonr females existed for a week on two pounds of corn, together with soino roots. On the road, I met an? other who had walked twelve miloB to beg sonn; food for br r children. Many other instances can be givoU of sad suffering from actual want of food. Verv trulv, FREDERICK WAT XS, M. D. Thc public have already responded nobly to tlie call, but not to thc extent required to keep starvation from making victims of many. Additional funds must ho raised at once; the cate ie urgent. The Lady Ma? nagers, after mature deliberation, have decided to bring it before tho generous people of the North, by giving a Grand National Entertainment, trusting to their active co-operation and sympathizing aid for the immediate supply of means to en? able them to purchaso and forward food to starving thousands.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS: "Tho Queen's Delight is beginning to awaken tho attention of our physicians. Its remarkable curativo power is seen in its wonderful effect upon disease. As a blood purifier, there is no medicino like it known to tho profusion. A gentleman told mo that bin eon has been taking tho Queen's Delight, and is more benefited by it than by any other medicine. He wants a dozen bottles." Extract from a letter: "It ie due to you to statu in this public manner, iti order that the people may know tho truth, that I have tr?en yonr Queen's Delight, and found it not only what you said it was-"a pure medicine"-but the best medicine I have ever taken for eruptions and general bad health. 1 had an eruption all over my body, with impaired digestion and disor? dered liver, and have tried a great many medicines without any benefit. I have taken one bottle of your Queen's Delight, the eruption lias disappeared, my appetite ia better, my liver and digestion is im pioved. I nm satisfied one or two moro bottles will euro me." Extract from a letter: "At the close of the war, my constitution waa shattered. I could not eat, sleep or perform any duty whatever, such was my prostrato condi? tion. .Mi di.-me and medical aid I had in abundance, such was my condition up to a few months since, when I began thc nae of your Queen's Delight. I have used two bottles, my constitution is greatly im? proved, my appetite ?H good, enjoy refresh ing sleep, and am able to perform my shale of daily labor." Extract from a letter-Wonderful effect of only one bottle: "1 have used only a half bottle of 'Queen's Delight' for boils and eruptions of the skin and itching hu? mors of the blood, which annoyed me very milch. I am entirely cured, x thitik your medicine a valuable one." A remarkable case of liver complaint and headache cured bv thu use. of "Heinitsh's Queen's Delight:"" A lady of unquestioned worth and reputation voluntarily gives tes? timony of the wonderful effects of this medicine. .She has been from early years a martyr to Headaches, caused by imper? fect action of thu liver, producing intense headache and pain over the eyes. She has taken only four bottles, and assnros us or tho perfect cure it has made. She now en jovs good health. Still another: "During last spring, I had been troubled with obstinat?; chills and fever, which, when cored, lort my ayetom in a wretched condition, blood impnre, and I was afflicted with an angry, and, as I at ono time thought, an incurable, cutaneous eruption over my entire body. The most violent remedies suggested failed to work a cure, until, at the instance of a friend, I tried Dr. Heinitsh's Queen's Delight. Less than two bottles cured me, leaving my akin in a healthy condition. My general health is as good as ever. For such purooees. I havo, over since my cure, unhesitatingly recommended your Queen's Delight." Don't buy any but tho right kind. All genuine Queen's Delight has tho copy-rig ht mark on the outside, and it is the only medicino which produces th - se. wonderful eurea.
