TrRoM OUR coRaEsPoSDEST.]
On Board the Ahambra,
Mobile Bay, 29Ih January,


Mr. Editor.--As this is the last chance
shall have of writing to you from our own
country, l will briefly travel over again our
journey by land; and then will give you ali
the insight I'have into the condition Of our Re-.
giment, and also give you my conJectures OF
the present and future destination of the dlvi-
sion of tie army to which we are attached.
The day we left Atlanta, the point at which
1 wrote last, the weather was horribly ncle-
ment, and we were unable TO proceed farther
than about three miles. The next day we made
good march, but the day after that were COM
pelied by the rain and cold, to remain in our
quarters, a. a.Methodisl Camp Ground. where
we were treated by the warm hearted people
Of the neighborhood, with kindness that made
OH impression upon the hardest heart amongst
u.s. shall ever, after this, entertain the high
esl respect for the religion Of the Methodlsts.
They ale generous, SINGER and noble-mind-
ed denomination Of Christians.
After we left Camp Jones. for that was the
name of the place last mentioned, our march
was not interrupted for sing lie moment either
BY rain or wind. or cold, and God knows, we
had an abundance of all. We arrived in good
health a, the city of Mobile, after seven reight
days travel, where we found the whole of the
first detachment under Col. Dickinson, en-
camped in most comfortable quarters, which
had been furnished them by the kindness Of
Col. Deas, a hospitable old gentleman, who
was once member OF our State Senate.
1t gives me pleasure to say here, ,l;at our
journey through Georgia and Alabama has
enabled me to form the most exalted notion Of
those two chivalrous States. Nothing could
exceed the generosity and hospitality displayed
to US by their people. They met US on the
road side, and in their Villages, and invited lis
to their houses without money or cost, and even
handed out provisions to US. as we passed along
on The march. There were very few, even Of
the tavern keepers, who would charge US more
than twenty cents for the most boantiful re.
pasts. At same places, they even had dinner
pre- pared, gratis. for as many as they could Of:
ford to supply. But, whenever we met with
an emigidnt from old South Carolina, we me,
with more than brothers. kindness. Ny next
toast shall b.,
South Ca7olina-Our mother, and Georgia
and Aabama-her twin sisters. -.
l am proud tu say though, that am yet able to
place my native State above all others. There
is something peculiarly good that attaches to
all her children wherever they may go. 1t is
like vase in which roses have. once been
distilled, you may break-you may brulse
the vase if you will. but the scent Of the roses
will hang round il still. But I must forget ever
my own hom. for while.
We are now on board the ship which is tc
take us TO Mexico. have no doubt, that we
will land at some point as near as possible Il
Vera Cruz; for 1t is the general impression
of all, that we are to be in great battle, to be
fought at that place. Our orders however, are
sealed until we get further ont 10 sea. Iht

the children began to cry for Sherman's Lozenges.
The noise was not so loud at that time, but it has
kept increasing ever since, and now has become
so great that the mouths of the little ones can
scarce be stopped. DR.. Sherman sympathlses
with the little sufferers, and very much regrets
that any of them should be disappointed Know
ing the vast benefit which has been conferred upon
the community by the introduction of his inialllble
Worm Lozenges,
he has entered into arrangements for eniarging
his Mandatory, by means of which he thinks he
will be able to supply the demand. And the same
pains and care will be taken that these celebrated
Lozenges be made as they have always been, In
order that those who depend upon them may not
be disappointed in their hopes. He knew when
he commenced the manufacture of the Worm Lo-
zenges, that they would supercede the use OF eve-
ry other vermifuge, as the Lozenge Is 0ery cas-
ant to the taste, speedy in its effects, as we'll as
certain, and the quantity required to effect per-
feet cure, is very small. These properties in con-
nexion with the fact that they sold for 25 cents
per Box, thus placing them in the reach OF the
poorest man in the land has not only caused them
TO take the place of every other vermtuge ever or
fered, but also rendered them popular to the COM
munity.
DIR. Sherman's Cough Lozenges,
continue to cure Coughs, Colds, Consumption,
Asthma shortness and difficulty of Breathing, and
other diseases of the Lungs, with the same facility
they did on their first introduction, and the people
have now become persuaded by actual experience,
that on the accession of slight Cold, they have
ONLY to step to either the Drs. office, OF his
Agents. and obtain box of his Cough LoZenges,
which are very convenient to carry in the pocket
and to take few through the day. BY pursuing
this course a cure is often effected in "a hours
and the patient about his business. So great is
the celebrity of the Lozenges, that thousands of
persons who have used them, and become acquaint-
ed with their effects, will never be without them.
Sherman's Poor Mans Plaster
has cured more cases of Rheumatism, Pain in the
Back, Side and Chest, Lumbago and Weakness,
than any application that has ever been made
AS the celebrity of tie Plaster has increased, hum
dreds of unprincped rascals have attempted to
counterfeit it, and palm it off upon the community
as the genuine. ~ Beware of Deception. III
Remember that the true and genuine Plaster is
spread upon reddish paper made expressly for the
purpose, and in every case the signature of DIR.
Sherman is printed upon the back of the Plaster,
and the whole secured by Copy Right. None
others are genuine. Therefore when you want
real good Shermans Poor Mans Plaster, call at
the Office I06 Nassau street and you will not be
disappointed.
