O5Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, the great
remedy for Consumption, and the best medicine
known to man for Asthma of every stage, Liver
Complaints, Bronchitis, Influenza, Coughs, Colds,
bleeding of the I.ung7, shortness of Breath, pains
and weakness in the side, breast &C., and all 9TH
er diseases of the pulmonary organs.
very important disease which this "Bal-
sam" exerts very powerful influence, is that of a
diseased Liver. In this complaint it has undoubt-
eddy proved more eficacious than any remedy
hitherto employed, and in numerous instances
when patients had endured long and severe suffer
ing from the disease without receiving the least
benefit from various remedies, and when Mercury
has beer resorted to in van the use of this Balsam
has restored the Liver to healthy action, and in
many instances effected permanent cures, after
every known remedy had failed to produce this
desired effect.
Besides its astonishing efficacy in the diseases
above mentioned, we also find it very effectual
remedy in Asthma, a complaint in which it has
been extensively used with decided success, even
in cases of years standing.
1t not only emanates from regular Physician
but has also been we'll tested in all the complaints
for which it is recommended. 1t is not my inten-
ton, therefore, either to cloakst in mystery, in
any way deceive the public by overrating its vir-
tues; on the contrary, shall simply enaeavor to
give brief statement OF its usefulness, and fatter
myself that its surprising efficacy will enable me
to furnish such proofs of its virtues as will satisfy
the most incredulous that Consumption may and
can be cured" if this medicine DE resorted to in
time.

Among the killed and wounded ofthe Mexicaus
are three general officers and twenty colonies and
commanders of battalions. Gen. Minon, it ap-
peais, has not yet realized the brilliant career of
which he considered his capture of Mai. Borland
an earnest He was ordered by Santa Anna to at.
tack and carry Saltillo during the engagement at
buena Vista. With this object. he made de-
monstration against the town with 1000 cavalry.
Lieut.. Shower. with sixty men and two small
pieces of artillery, went out to meet the valiant
General, and st one discharge of his cannon, sent
him and his large force to the rght-about in dou-
ble-quick time.
In concluding our necessarily imperfect sketch
OF the few details Of the brilliant deeds of American
valor performed at Buena Vista-details gathered
from hasty conversation, we must be allowed to
express our satisfaction to find that the anicipa-
tons we have SO frequently expressed of the bra.
very and efficiency of our volunteers, have been
more than realized. Let those who have hereto.
fore made our citizens soldiers the theme of their
rbbaldry and ridicule, be forever hushed into ST.
ience by the unparalleled gallantry and glory
which have consecrated in American history the
bloody field of Buena Vista.

LATEST FROM VERA CRUZ.


ArrfUat Of the Mississippi NTH CON- Perry
Probable Opening Of our Fire on Vera
Cruz-Continued Confusion TN the City Of
Merico
The ship Oregon, Capt Gliddon, and the
barque Montezuma, Capt Thompson, arrived
last evening from Anton Lizardo, both having
sailed the morning of the goth inst
Capt. GIddon informs us that he saw the
steamship Mississippi, having Com. Perry on
board, on the goth inst, about six miles off
from Vera Cruz, bound in.
Capt. u. was on shore on the 10Th instant,
and IN the American camp. It seemed to be
understood In the camp that Gen. Scott would
open the attack on Vera Cruz at noon on the
goth. He also reports that three or four hours
alter he sailed, he heard very heavy firing,
which he thinks was from the American
works. The closing sentence in Mr.. Ken
dails lerter subjoined, renders this not impro-
bable
Capt. G. mentions that Gen. Worth is sta
toned with his command within 700 yards OF
the city. He also informs us that the general
impression was that the city was very willing,
nay, anxious, to surrender, but that the lnhab-
ltants had received intimation from the castle
that II they did surrender, the castle would I'M
medlately fire upon the town and destroy 1t.
Captain G. says it was reported that there
were 1900 troops in the city and 1900 IN the
castle We are confident that this is an under
estimate.
Among the incidents mentioned by Captain
G. is one that bomb from the castle fell into
the quarters of one of Gen. SCOTS aids, but
exploded without doing any harm.
The following brief letter from Mr.. Kendall,
furnishes the latest intelligence we have from
the city of Mexico:
Editorial Correspondence of the Picayune.
CAMP BEFORE VERA CRUZ,
March 10, 1915 o'clock, p. m.
Our news from the city of Mexico, received
in roundabout way, would prove that a most
sanguinary revolution-or rather a series oil
revolutions-is raging in the city, the differ.
ent parties being all by the ears, and fighting
each other with unwonted ferocity 1t IS said
that even the British Minister, Mr. Bankhead
at last dates, hardly dared venture into the
streets, for fear of being shot by some one Of
the different contending factions. Gomez Fa
rias has his party, the priests have their party
those in favor of peace have party, and ther
there are the war men, the Santa Anna men
the Almonte men, and what not All wa
" confusion worse confounded,' and | cal
make neither head nor tail of the different ru
mors
The Mexicans have been firing since moor
to-day, and from the most of their batteries
and the roar of round shot and shell has beer
: constantly DINING in the ears of our men,
Strange that they do not effect more. The,
must think they are destroying the " Yam
kees," as they now all term US, by dozens
else they would not keep up such an incessan
firing.
The weather continues fine for landing, an
munitions and supplies are rapidly accumula
ting at the depots. The officers of the nav.
continue to use their best efforts.
By next day after tomorrow, | am in hope
of being able to send you off an account G
some of General SCOTS doings.

ion that Ampudia would not attack him, even
afser enlarging his force. so reluctant was he
to give up the opinion he first expressed, that
his 'sadvance to the Rio Grande would pro-
duce a powerful effect" IN preserving peace.
If the sequel showed that Gen Taylor had
heen deceived, and that, for six months, he
had been making representations TO the gov
eminent which proved to be erroneous, who
is to blame Certainly not Mr.. Polk. nor the
Secretary of War! Who then We leave
the impartial reader of both parties to decide
that question, after they shall have satisfied
themselves what Gen. Taylor meant by saying
that &c he did not feel at liberty, under his IN.
