practice of thirty years, in the latter

Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood. e.
| They stimulate and regulate the
functions Of digestion impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen

purifier Of the blood. By continuing
the use Of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for a
few weeks, they will afford convin-

properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enioyment of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and

CAMP WALKER, MANASSAS JUNCTION.
Heaaqr's5th Reg't S. q. ", yuly IL, 81.
Stewards pronunciamento, called LincoIn's
Message. was received in our camp with q gem
eral feeling Of con tempt and indi ference. No
one seemed TO be surprised at its ahsurdity,
| II paper as might be expected to enanat e from
3 fools vanity and a fanatics heart. No
honest, sensible man could ever have written
such mongrel of bravado, filsehood and
presumption. We are only afraid the aboli-
ton Congress won't be fool enough to sustain
the Message, and attempt to raise the 400 900
troops and 600. 600 dollars. because we believe
such an attempt would expose the folly and
vanity Of Lincoln's ideas of government and
war. If we are to judge the future by the
past, 100000 troops will not be more than
one fourth enough to furnish US good fight,
much less to conquer us; but l am not dis
posed to boast ofwhat We can do. 1 only Judge
of what we have done.
Our camp is as quiet as usual. The rains
during the last few days have laid the dust
and cooled the atmosphere, making our habi-
tations comparatively comfortable Nothing
worthy of note has transpired at Camp
Walker since last wrote you. The health OF
our regiment continues remarkably good. We
have been in service now three mon the and
have lost only one man, and he died while the
regiment, including our skilful surgeon, was
a home on furlough for a few days previous
to our departure for Virginia. The success
which has attended his practice among our
sick is the best evidence of his skill. and deyo-
ton to his business that could be produced;
and in saying this Of DIR. Thomson, do not
mean to deprive his accomplished assistant,
DR.. Bratton, of that share Of the honor to
which his assiduous and faithful discharge
of his duties SO justly en,itle him.
/ see you do not mention Brig Gen. Jones
in the list Of officers in the Confederate States
service published yesterday. but we don't
feel at all hurt att, for we know that he will
have "a place in the picture whenever we
are called into action, which will make him
conspicuous enough. I presume it was an
oversight, for we will have no General in the
field who will act better his part in the battle
than our own Brigadier. General, ID. r. Jones.

A LEeBSp OF NoRwAY.-Nsar the village of

was cons family rowing about in the Fiord in
search of her husband, who had been drowned
She rowed around the same circle, never de

by turns, her face turned in enc direction,
that she might watch the surface Of the wa

in to the element that had been his sole sns-
tanning friend from youth, to battle, and be-
fore scarce fifteen minutes had elapsed, sur.
rounded by q shoal Of mackerel and In sight
OF her who had made home pleasant, was de-
voured by these ravenous fish.
When he raised his arm out of the water to
show the dreadful fate that threatened him,
and arouse the alarm OF bis unconscious wife,
a hundred mackerel hung like plummets from
the flesh. The fisherman sank, and was never
seen or heard Of more. From that morning
until to-day, his widow having lost her rea.
son, ever rows her husbands boat about the
spot where he persisted, In full persuasion that
he has gone to seek sunken net, and in a lit.
