FRIEND MAnIN.-Accompanying this, sent
you small specimen of secession rag

State, on the night Of the 18TH. Company c.
was detailed as a scouting party and at about
P. NJ, proceeded on board special train
from Renick, to see what was to be seen, for
distance of about twelve miles along the
road. Upon our arrival we were formed into
line for parade and maneouvreing Many reb-
els were visited-and one Barnes arrested
Orderly Croker, on passing store, whose
proprietor sustained the unenviable reputation
of rebel and traitor, concluded that peep
around the premises would do no harm, although
many were the circumstances, yet so Persistent
was our valiant young Croker, that the afore-
said.rag was discovered and brought forth I
have another in my possession, when taken

another valuable trophy, until my return
Capt. Cummins took a large and somewhat
faded Rattlesnake rag, from the Yancey House,
in Renick. The second flag referred to was
taken by Orderly Croker and myself at Rem
ick, from private house. A rifle, 3 powder
horns and accoutrements are among nv
traps. While at Sturgeon, Orderly Croker,
with men, took possession of secession
paper, the proprietor passing them on the
stairs and making good his escape. wish l

AYERS
Compound Extract Of SarsapariIia,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bned from the most active remeiials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUrrIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANrHoNy's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERysIrELAs, P1MrLEs, PusruLEs,
BLorcHEs, BLAINs and BoIIs, TuMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEuM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIc and MERCuRIAI. Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and.
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "inparity ofMe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Oh say by the dawl's early light cap you see,
Where once wavd in triumph the flag of our nation,
The rattle snake rag of the traitor jeff D.,
The emblem of Moultrie's deep, deep degradation.
When sumter's brave band, made firm and bold stand
Against eight thousand rebels to this fair land;
There the spangcd banner no longer could wave
Ger the walls Of Fort Sumter-it fell with the brave.
Let the rebels now shout in their treasondy fame,
Aud fling to the breeze their piratical banner;
Let them glory awhile IL their dark deeds Of shame,
And dream they are noble and born to the manor.
Let them dream again of their brethern slain,
On the dark Aeld of battle, to wipe out the stain;
Which dimd for the moment the flag of the brave
But now in defiance forever shall wave @
When the guns of Fort Moultrie their mission sent
Against our star begem'd banner our pride and ou
glory,
1t aroused the deep ire of united North,
To revenge the deep wrong nations proud story
The insult sank deep in each fir, eana proud breast
And, $40 arms - rangfhe shout from tile North, Eas

Then myriads poured forth frsm the lakes to the o.

DOCN ALAI, Auc., OuihO ~, JCOIs
DEAR JOURNAL: am, in common witt, many
others here, neither in good trim nor good
humor fer anything. We are here after a long
and tedious march through lonesome, woody
country, without much water, and many of
the poor fellows without shoes. We left Keo-
kuk suddenly, on the 18th inst, and went to
Hannibal on hoati thence, after sleeping in
the street, next day by rail to Macon or Da-
Wis Station, which brought us into the heart
of the secession country. We stopped there
two days, sending out scouting parties, and
capturing prisoners, &c. We then went to
Henick, whence We started afoot on a three
days march with one days rations. We all
thought we had a tolerable hard time, and our
Muscatine friends would have thought SO too
had they seen some of the poor boys drop by
the way, and, lying by their muskcts, say
they might as we'll die there as anywhere. l
will not go into details; must, however, say
this: it was a needless, ill-advised, and mis-
erably planned march, devised, as think, to

back. Every soldier here is ANXIOUS to be led
after the rebels, and none more so than our
poor fellows. They have got a little rested
now, and though barefooted and ragged they
will fight-that you may rely on. Our COM
pany formed the vanguard in the march, and
always kept a mile ahead of the regiment.
That is, however, attributable to our position in
the regiment I could not not single out one
company better than another. They are as
good set of boys as can be found in the
world. Our contrary etft.uers are popular with
their men, and, while would not single out,
l cannot help mentioning Ben. Beach. He
made the march with feet so sore (part of the
way with one bare FOOT and so MANY cther
difficulties that 20 os,e bpt genuine soldier,
as be is, would have stood it. But he did
stand it, and is now t'as bright as q dollar
and ready for a fight OF anything else that
du,y calls him to- stood the march, myself,
better than I expected. 1 believe would
rather make it again than write amid the
confusion of this moment must close; this
