 mating in biliary deransement, caused
 by the Malaria of nliasnatic countries.
 No one remedy is louder called for by the necessities Of the American people than a sure and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are now enabled to offer, with aperfect certainty that 1t will eradicate the disease, and with assurance founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any quan- tity.
 That which protects from or prevents this disorder must be of immense service ill the communities where 1t prevails. Prevention is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleful distemper. This ssCURE" expels the miasrnatic poison of FEVER AND AouE from the system and prevents the develop ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap- proach of it's pre1nonitory symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should have 1t and use 1t freely both for cure and protection. It is hoped this price will place 1t within the reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and cer- tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently 1t pro- duces no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If they had never had tie disease.
 Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence of the miasnatic poison. A great variety of disorders arise from its irritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache. Blindness, Toothache, Earache Catarrh, Asth- ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent type, or become period ical. This /" CURE" expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to imni- grants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the in- lection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease Hence 1t is even more valuable for protection than cure, and few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy af- fords.

 So wide Is the field of its usefulness and so nu- merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub hcly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by it's use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro- duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.

Most of our wounded will be brought to Richmond tomorrow, and nearly all the prisoners expected here in day or two.

Among them are Co.'s. Lee and Cogswell, army officers. The total af fba Eil ,l and prisoners, is estimated at fifteen hundred. A boat load of them were upset in the Poto- mac. Col.
