COmpOund Extract Of SarSaparilIat

the most efTectual remedy which the medcall
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bincd from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation Of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of tho
system from its destructive consequences,
Hence it should be employed for the cure OF
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such rs ERUrTIvR
and Skin DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or EnYsrrELAs, PnirLEs, PUsTuLEs,

RmEuMATIsM, SYrmniTIc and MERCuhiAL DIS
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBIIlTY, and'
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED Or IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "in,p,nity ofMe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is u degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regcnerate this vital fuid
without which sound health is impossible III

most time that we heard something from

sailed on Tuesday Of last week. Its work
Ts conjcctured to the capture ot
Fort Macon at Beaufort, or the sinking OF
vessels in the ship channels Of Charleston
and Savannah. Its the misfortune Of sew
cral controlling ports Of the South that
they should be approached by ouly one or
two water channels, Of no great depth, and
easy Of obstruction. Many Of the iulets to
the great sounds Of the coast are Of this sort
and may be at once filed mp by sinking
heavily laden vessels in the passages
Even the considerable cities Of Charlesio OF
and Savannah are approached by marrow
and shallow channels, which can be stopped
up as effeetually by few heavy hnlks sunl
in the mud as any raceway can b
BY its head gates. There are other citie
In the same situation, and the governmen
may, IL it pleases, release nearly all tn
large armed vessels from the orduous dutie

CINCINNArI Sept. %.
The Committee of Practical Mechanics,
appointed by the Cincinnati Chamber Of
commerce to examine to and report upon the
causes of the late accident on the Ohio &
Mississippi Railroad, whereby so many
soldiers lost their lives, have visited the
bridge and examined the same, and their
unanimous report was presented and adopt
ed by the Chamber this afternoon The
Committee say that they have come to the
conclusion that the accident was not occa-
stoned by any insufficiency Of the timbcrs or
iron work They attribute the accident to
a broken rail which they found at the west
end of the bridge. AS the locomotive end
tender passed over it in safety, drawing af
ter it one passenger car this car as appelrs

iron and cross ties which threw the remain
der of the cars from the track as they en-
tered the bridge, thus precipitnting them
against the truss and cords and breaking it
down, and not from any weakness or decay

Numbers of very desirable men have turned
