Dear sirs,-Tho public generally are fully
aware Of the thousands Of remedies for dis
eased lungs, under the titles Of Sarsapa-
rillas, Pills, Pasters, Lniments, etc, that
are daily brought to their notice through the
newspapers, by way of advertisements. My
object in writing this note for publication is
to induce the public, or at least those who are
afflicted, (if they will use patent mCdicines,)
to use one that contains articles Of real use in
pulmonary diseases. ! am conscious that in
SO doing i am acting most professionally,
and derogatory to the interests of medical
science and the regular practitioners Of medi-
cine.
The medicine 10 which I refer is DR.. Halls
Bqlsana for the Lungs. ! have prescribed it
in large number Of cases, and always with
success. One case in particular to which |
wish now to refer, was given up by several
physicians who had been called in consuta-
ton with myself. Tho patient had all the
symptoms of confirmed consumption, such
as cold night swoats hectic fever harassing
cough, with continued pain in the lobe Of the
right lung, attended with severe diarrhea
He commenced Immediately to get better by
the use of the aboye-named medicine, and
was soon restored to his usual health! l
have also found Dr.. Halls Balsam the most
valuable expectorant for breaking up dis
tressing coughs aud colds that have ever
used. W. D. NhIHilIi M u

FREMoNr's ExrRAvAGANCE.-T The
ST. Louis Democrat, in commenting upon
this cIvrge and its consequences already,
says
Perhaps some people will be astonsh-
ed, but we nevertheless make the state
ment, and with knowledge of its truth,
that since Gen. Fremont's arrival in the
city Of ST. Louis on the 2Gth day of last
July, the Government has furnished him
all told, but about 81 100000, out oil
which to collect, clothe and generally
equip an army Of 10000 men. Liberal
on the part of the Government, is it not
II the General had depended alone upon
the active support Of the Government
we might have had greater disasters tc
mourn than the battles Of Spring and
Lexington. In the face of this inefli
cheney of the Government and the vio-
lation of its promises when he first came
here, to assist him to the extent of its
abilities, he moved on with the great
work before him, and by his wonderful
energy had gained the confidence of the
moneyed institutions of this city, which
extended to him in part the means nee
essary for the prosecution of bis designs,
else his organization of the army of the
West, and the defense Of the important
points of the State Of Missouri would
have been but miserable failure.
This howl upon his extravaganza and
the credit which seems to have been
attached to it by the Administration, is
one of the severest blows which the spite
and malgnity OF his enemies have yet
invented. 1t has almost sealed the
Golfers against him at Washington, and
has staggered his credit, and through him
that of the general government in this
city.
The cold weather Of the past week
came suddenly upon us, and found thous-
ands Of our soldiers shivering over their
camp fires for want Of overcoats. Sever
al thousands Of these coats were in the
city ready for delivery, for cash. For
ward the overcoats,' telcgrophs the Gen
eral from jefferson City, Must have
them The response is, No money
and no credit The soldiers SILVER
away.
This cry of extravaganza is weighty
cudgel in the hands of Fremont's enc
mics just now. 1t hits him hard. 1t
batters the heads OF his officers and
soldiers, too. 1t may break the back OF
his whole army, and give the city of St.
Louis and the whole State over to the
rebels
The Irish citizens Of St. Louis had a
rousing meeting last Saturday evening,
TO express their devotion to the Govern
ment and their unwavering confidence in
General Fremont.

SPECIMEN OF PATRIOTIC PRAYER.--
When the old lady had fallen into the
well, and was rescued from drowning
with some difficulty, she declared that
chad it not been for Providence and
another man," she never would have
got out alive. The theory Of the old
woman's assertion seems to have operated
in one of the churches in Logansport Ohio,
where on the national Fast day, in the
presence Of a large congregation, a gen.

THE EXPENDITURES OF THE Gov
ERNMENT.-The Washington correspon.
dent OF the Philadelphia North american
says:
1t Is now ascertaiaed that the total
expenses OF the war amount to over eight
million a week. Much of the money
now used, ii must be remembered. is
invested in war vessels, arms and such
other articles as will last throughout the
war, so that even with an increased army
the expenditures will decrease. though
they will be happy enough until the war
is ended to render valuable every effort
to sustain the credit Of the government.

THE LAND OF REST.
BY NELLY $. A. KRAnL.


aThcre the wicked cease from troubling, an
10 weary are at rest
Far above this world Of sorrow,
Far beyond this mortal shore,
lisa land Of bliss and beauty
Where they never sorrow more;
Where the pure and holy ener
Where abide the good and blest,
Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest.
Pearly gates and walls Of jasper
Do incloso this city bright
Precious stones are her foundations;
GoD, the Lamb, her glorious light.
Trees Of life forever blooming,
All of healing power possessed
Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are At rest.
Pastures green and living waters
In this heavenly land abound;
Endless pleasures, bliss unminglcd,
There, and there alone, are found.
No more sorrow, pain or anguish,
Souls no more by sin oppressed
Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest.
Here temptations gather round us,
Satan's wies our hearts do ycX;
Cares harrasS and foes surround us,
Pain atllcts and fears pcrpcX;
Bat in that bright world Of glory
We shall be forever blcsf,
Where tha wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary nrc at rest.
Onward, Christian then, right onward,
Soon thy sorrows will he DER;
Jesus soon will come and lead thee
Safely to the Shining Shore,
Where those wait to bid thee welcome
Whom on car;h thou loycdst best;
Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest.

TIE MORAL WELFARE OF OUR ARMY.
A gentleman who has been engaged in
distributing tracts and books among the
soldiers in the vicinity of Washington,
writes as follows:
Il feel confident, from my intercourse
with the chaplains, that the moral and
spiritual condition Of the army now here
has greatly advanced. One chaplain
told me to-day that his daily prayer
meeting last night was one of the most
blessed seasons he ever enjoyed. The
Major of the regiment spoke, and gave
it as the opinion of himself and brother
officers that these mighty prayer meet
ings exert more happy influence than
any other instrumentaltv-declaring that
no rowdy could make a good soldier, and
that the higher the morals of the men
the better the soldier and the more reli-
able in the hour OF danger. A blessed
work of grace is in progress in several
of the regiments.
We have already published the ex-
cellent proclamation of Gen. McClelIen,
enjoining a strict observance of the Sab
bath and exemptng the troops from &C
tive service ON that holy day, except the
necessary duties of the camp. This proc
lamation cannot but have an excellent
effect upon the troops and promote the
cause of morality and religion. What
ever tends 10 increased thoughtfulness
upon matters connected with religion will
be an antidote to the vices which are
Supposed to be inseparable from the camp
Fortunately much has been done by
Gen. llavelock, Gen. Mcclellan, Gen.
Anderson, Col Howard, and other army
officers, TO demonstrate that a man may
be both a good soldier and a good Chris
tian, and the example and influence of
these Christian soldiers will not be lost
upon the army.
