OPENING OF THE CHESAPEAKE AND DEL
AWARE CANAL.

On Friday afternoon, fully 81 detachment of
troops consisting of the First Baltimore Sharp Shoot
ers, commanded by Capt. Hodgkinson-the First
Baltimore Light Infantry, by Capt Hichman--the In
dependent Blues, by Capt McEldewy-the Morgan
Volunteers, by Lieut. Woltc-and the Forsyth Volun-
teers, by Capt. HosS-the whole under the command
Of Col Benjamin C. Howard, left this city to parci-
pate in hescerenonies of the opening of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal.
The detachment, fully armed and equipped, and
provided with two days rations, reviewed by Brig
adler General Fcnrpck and marched to the steamboat
in a torrent of rain, which continued the whole night
and during the succeeding day and night. The
Der Of troops too great TO be accommodated in
the cabins of the boat, and large portion slept on
deck on the nights of Friday and Saturday.
The detachment took up the line of march for the
summit bridge about seven O'Clock on Saturday morn
ing, and endured privatons and suferngs which have
seldom fallen to the lot of volunteer troops to
ter The whole route was along the tow path of the
Canal in mud almost knee deep, through which the
men waded with torrent of rain pouring in their fa-
ees until they arrived at the bridge.
After witnessing the ceremonies, the troops embark
ed board of of the Canal boats, which the Di.
rectors of the Citizens Line politely rendered for their
service, but which they compelled to leave, in
consequence of the Canal not having been cleared of
the loose lumber. They then re-landed and marched
to the steam boat, board which they embarked late
in the evening. They arrived in the city Sunday
about o'clock, and marched to their parade
ground.
Too much praise cannot be given to Capt. Hender-
SON for his kindness and attention to the troops, and
making provision for their comfort under crcumstan-
which called forth his utmost energies, and fully
demonstrate the generosity of his heart, and his capa
city as an officer.
The President and Directors of the Citizens Line,
with liberality which merits high Communications,
made every exertion to accommodate SO large body
of men, and Capt. Crocker of the line, brought
over in his boat several of the troops refusing TO
cept Of any compensation for his services for the
articles with which he furnished them.--Bdh GaS.

CAUTION 70 PURCHASERS.

This medicine had been used for more than years
before an effort was made to initiate it; but the great
demand for it, and its wonderful success have induced
gr-at number of persons to initiate in various way
upwards of fifty different mixtures have been got
up in imitation of it, which IS convincing proof OF
its being medicine of great value Some are selling
sarsapsrlla and other syrups, imposing them on the
ignorant for the Panacea; others are mixing the genu-
inc medicine with molasses, &c., making three bottles
out of ones thus retaining of its virtues: others
are using the genuine Panaces in their bottles to
form cures to obtain certificates to give their own
renutation, &C. Some have even resorted to perjury
to deceive the public. These limitations and adultera.
tons have, in many instances, protraeted the suffer
