sickly season Of the year. At the expira-
ton Of three days We had exhausted our
supplies, and being cut off from all COM
munication with points on the rail road and
river, ", could not obtain -four, coffee or
sugar, and We were compelled to subsist
upon half rations Of miserable corn bread
and pork. During these severe hardships
many Of our hardest men gave out, and
our sick list was fearfully augmented
Upon our return from this expedition, our
camp was changed to Hudson, and in three
days thereafter the whele Of our effective
force was ordered to point on the Mis-
souri, river, distance Of about 100 miles,
to aid in cutting of force Of rebels who
were making their way towards Lexington,
to join their forces operating against that
place. Again we were ordered to leave
without tents, camp equipagc or change
of clothing. A large number Of our men
were destitute of coats and blankets, and
many were ragged and poorly shod. Near
ly one-third Of this distance was accom-
plished by forced marches, through mud
and rain, without shelter during our rests,
and with no conveniences for cooking our
Iations. After such marches, wearied and
worn down, We arrived at Liberty in the
morning of the 18th of September, and

Fremont and even the Union itself, to graf

retarded for months by the milk and water,
wishy -washy epistle of Lincoln to Fremont.
The gist Of Fremont's proclamation was
destroyed, the feeling Of terror which had
seized the rebel dealers in slaves has been
removed, and they now go into the field to
fight against the Government, with the as
surance that their peculiar institution
will be sustained no matter whether its
hackers are Union men or blood thirsty

The Farmers and the War.

This country would be able to sup
port very large number of fighting
men through an indefinite period Of
time if the peaceful industry of the
community was directed to this end. 1t
would simply be necessary to divert the
labors of those who are now engaged in
making super6uous luxuries to the pro-
duction of food and clothing. This di-
ssrson of labor will be gradually eff
fected by decline in the price of luxu-
ries and an advance in those of the me-
cessaries of life. This already begins
to be felt; while works of art, books,
jewelry, &C., are of very slow sale, the
coarser styles of woolen cloths and sati-
nets have advanced some 80 per cent
in price in such colors as are adapted
for military purposes. If the commu,
nifty is intelligent, they will anticipate
this change in the market demand for
articles, and will by prudent forecast,
save us from scarcity of products alb
solutely essential to existence. This
applies with especial force to farmers
Let them sow their seed with perfect
confidence that there will be certain
demand for their crops, which will
bring better prices than in preceding
years. Above all things, let US not
have the horrors of famine added to the
trials Of war.-,Scientifc 4n,erican.

We are enabled here TO offer the community i.
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless i'll any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable i'll districts
where these alilicting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" cxpels the masmatic poison of FEVER

velopmcnt of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its prcmnnitory symptoms. It's not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered fer this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of Intermtcnts is that it contains no Qninine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitl-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the lniasmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
