Two couriers Just arrived from Lexington, give the
following intelligence which is believed by the COM
manding officer here to be in the main reliable: Gen.
Price commenced an attack on the intrenchments at
Lexington, commanded by Col. Mullgan, on Monday.
The fight lasted all day, and very severe. Gen.
Price assaulted the works, and was repulsed with
severe less.
The fight had been renewed on Tuesday morning by
Gen. Price, but feebly, when the couriers left.
Gen. Lane was at Johnstown, Bates County, on
Monday morning, with a force of 1000 to 5000 men,
marching to the relief Of Lexington
The Rebel loss on Monday reported at 900, and
that of the Federal troops at 800, which is probably
exaggerated.

Burying a Fort.

Quite an orig inal method of taking fort Is de.
scrbed in the last number of Black woods Maga-
zine In 1896, large Russian army be sieged the
Turkish fort OF Azof, which was situated on q
plain strongly fortified, and had a small but well.
disciplined garrison. No common approaches
could be made to it, and the Tu kish cannon
swept the level with iron hail. In This case the
engineering skill Of the russians was baf51d. but
General Patrick Gordon, the right hand man o
Peter the Great, and the only one for whose death
il is said, he'over shed Il tear being determined
90 take the place at any cost, proposed to bury il
with earth by gradual approaches. He had d
large army; the soil Of the plain light and
deep, and he set twelve thonsand men to work
with spades, throwing up high circumva Aaliun
of earth, and advancing nearer und inearer eve ry
day to the place, by throwing up tho huge earth
wall before them in advance.
They were kept in gangs, working day and night,
the earth being thrown from one to the other, like
the steps of stairs the topgnng taking the lowest
place every half hour in succession. In five weeks
the huge earth wall was carried forward nearly
one mile, until it rose to and above the highest
rumpnrts and the earth began to roll over them
This caused the Turkish governor to hnng out
the white flag, and give in. Had he not done so,
General Gordon would have bur led the fortress.

An equal and normal condition of the blood is
health. An abnormal, that is to say, an excess

Analysis of the red corpuscles of the blood shows
them to be compounds of iron, sulphur auG phos-

vciopmcnt OF the disease, il taken on the first APP
proach of its prcmoniory symptoms. Itis not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered fni this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar lrings it within the
reach Of every body; and in bilious districts whore
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both fur and prolcc-
ton. great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure OF lntermtents is that it contains no Quininc
or mineral, consequently it produces no quiusm or
other injurious ELECTS whatever upon the consttu-

the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection ia
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. Iftaken occa-
sonally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be cxcrrtcd from the system, and cannot
