t II. LOGAN, ESQ, Dear SIR:
wrote to you some time since for a Bottle of
Brentlingers Fluid Extract of sssaparilla and Dan

a charm. I have been afflicted for near two years
with Dyspepsia; two-thirds of the time voinited
from one to three times day. / hud given up the
idea of getting well. and indeed my friends had
given up all hopes of my ever getting well again.
Added TO this, suffered with the Scrnfula very
much. Since last September one side of my neck
entire sore, composed of some seven running
sores. The use of one Bottle has much improved
me. My stomach is relieved and my neck has i'm
proved beyond my most sanguine expectations.
two bottles more i shall be relieved entirely. You
will please send me two bottles by the Boat.
Yours respectfully. j. ". HOMER.

..-s-Tyr RruELs AGAIN SroP THE TRAINS

rsg~THE REBELS AGAIN SroP the TRAINS
rug BALrrMoRE AND Ono RAILROAD
N Saturday morning, about seven o'clock,
.e mail train coming in this direction,
nader charge of Capt. Il. G. Perry, when
,hout seven miles west of Cumberland
.reouu,ered eight or ten crOss-ries piled
,,on the track near curve in the road.
The train ran upon the obstruction, and
ono q, the ties became entangled in the pi-
lot. The train stopped, and whilst the
train men were fixing things up, some fif-
70 armed men were observed coming down
f-,m AN adjacent mountain ut n double
cpick. Before the men approached, the
rain was got ready and was soon out of
sight, not, however, until several shots
were fred at the engine, none of which
did anv damage. Two armed men were
standing in the vicinity of the obstruction
when the train stopped, but for some rea-
sen ran AWAY before the others appeared.
The men are supposed to have hailed from
the rebel camp ut Romney.
p. S.-Sinse writing the ABOVE we have
le.raed some additional particulars of the
above affair from our friend Harry Hardin,
the efficient mail agent, who was on the
tain at the time. 1t seems that on Friday
evening Ex-Governor Thomas made a
spee,h at Cumberland-a decided war
.Icech-luriug the delivery of which some
secessionist in the crowd asked, "who be-
gun the war; The Ex-Governor replied
tile traitors of the North - "You are a
hoarv headed old liar" was the response.
At this several Union men pitched into the
seeessfonist and used him up pretty badly.
Afer the meeting was overa mob proceed
Ell to the Office of the 1HeghqHjaa, Sc
cess:oa paper, and literally Quilted and de-
stroyeI it. They then went to the house OF
NcKaig. a prominent secessioni>t, threw a
brick through his window and perpetrated
other outrages Several prominent seces-
sionis,s were observed leaving Cumberland
during the night on horseback in the di.
reetion of Romney. Va. 1t is supposed
they went to the camp there and returned
with the soldiers who attempted to take
possession of the train, and that the design
vas to capture Ex-Governor Thomas, who
was passenger, and who was on his way
to his home in Frnuklintown, about forty
miles this side of Cumberland. When the
,ecessionists fired upon the train all the
passengers dropped upon the floor of the
cars. and continued to occupy positions,
until ont of danger, which would have been
very ridiculous had the whole affair not
been of such a serious character. On Sat
ariny evening Con. Kelly sent Capt. Day
,oa down from Grafton with sufficient
number of men to keep the rebels from re-
pca,ins their attempt to destroy the lives
o! innocent passengers.

RoLLA Mo-, Aug. 24.-Lieut. Col. Albert
OF the Sd Missouri Regiment, and or 10
other officers, who have been prisoners in
the hands of the rebels at Springfield ar
rived here this morning,-they were re-
leased on parole subject, however, to such
arrangement as may have been entered in
to between the Contederates and the United
States.
great many contradictory reports as
to the present aud future movements of
the rebels are in circulation, but the rea |
purpose of the enemy can only be conjec-
tured. They seem now to be more anxious
to obtain subsistence than to make often
sive movements for that purpose.

RS-lIow Is Ir?-We are told that the
Qlar,ermasters who provide for the board
ing Of the army horses at some of the mil :
i!ary posts in Western Virginia, buy hay
at Clacianati and ship it up this way at an
unnecessary expense, when the article can
be purchased in the neighborhood of the
posts at much cheaper rate-that they
bay cats at Pittsburgh and pay 80 cents
Tor il, when they can buy the same grain
aiCIarksburg for 25 cents. Other tlagrant
impositons of this sort are mentioned,
AMI as nearly everybody talks about it we
have considered it worthy of notice. We
have no disposition to carp at and find fault
with those holding positions in the COM
iaissary department. We know that there
are many persons who are constantly find
Ing fault and who are never in their proper
e.euen, unless carping at somebody. We
% no, wish to ba numbered among such
:sEsons and will not consent to make di-
Pc; charges unless we know they are
tue; and while we are not prepared to say
"ao the thieves are, ne are satisfied that
there is thieving going on IN different de-
PaF'ments and of such magnitude as to
merit Investigation. We believe that a
seonndrel who would thus go deliberately
70 work to swiulle the government at a
TINE ike this deserves to be taken out and
shot lie is ten fold worse than traitor
III arms and should be executed without
I-ase or jury or the benefit of clergy.

The question as to the terms of enlist

cent disturbances in several regiments, has
been judicially and finally settled. The
governments right to hold the soldiers is
concIusiYely sustained, and the fallacy of

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Recently gem
tlcmnn from the Navy Department inquired
whether bounty would lie given for the
capture of privateers. 1t is understood
that other parties would Tor similar con-
sideratiOn engage in the same business,
but the department has no such power I'M
der the present law. Half the value of
all prizes goes to the Government and the
remainder to the captors. From what has
t:nnspired it is highly probable the Gov
ernment would relinqnish its share to
those who would successfully engage in
such spcculations, and while granting
commissions tot these purposes, afford
whatever aid it could in the matter of
armament.
Minister Pike i'll his dispatch from the
Hugue, referring to the Bull Run affair
says, lin my judgment this reverse will
not especially prejudice our cause or lead
to adverse action in Europe. "A public
ointment has gradually been developed
on this side of the water in regard to our
Affairs, which is inclined to wait fair
trial of the strength of the government
without prcjudieing its ability to over
come its misfortune He remarks in con-
clusion, "it shall be shown TO the country
that simply budding masses of men to-
gether does not make an army, and shall
develope some kind of Difference for the
judgment and wisdom of experienced men
and for those who have charge of affairs
Then the disaster may prove TO be whole
some experience aud not an unmitignted
calamity.
The following order has just been pub
liShed by the Postmaster General:
