FOR THE RAPID CURE oP
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Group, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump-
ton, and for the relief of COnsumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field Of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases Of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
hcly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine Of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antdote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are incident TO our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
dueed cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

EXTRACT from the Correspondence of August IA to the

OF the country full of the widest rumors
corning Lees movements. Some Of them have seed
grain of truth, others not hampered in that way
all Thus have heard among the current talk of the
people, that Lee is advancing with two columns Of
FIVE the other Of seven thousand men; that they
in the mountains the Gaps, and trying TO CIT
new road through; that Lee has had pcfsona interview
with Reynolds that he has had personal interview with
Rosencans that he has sought exchange Of prisoners
that he has served notice the loyal troops quit the
country, and the like. To attempt wnnowig the false
hood from the truth in such would be lilo
effort There one rumor, however, that is significant.
Three days ago. in first abiding the presence of be-

II he did make attempt to enter this country he would
hardly try to storm the fortified Cheat Mountain Gaps,
but would endeavor to cut road over
what has been supposed impossible mountain
range and make a flank movement on the forces
that were awaiting his attack in front Then
little nothing said of his movements but now the
air is thick with that he cutting road through
the mountains that he is delaying until he draw
forces to the Gaps; that he may then make rapid rush
past them to Beverly and hurry Grafton and the

that Gen Rosecrans is supposed to be maturing ample

Those who are familiar with the Philppi, Laurel Hill

HOW THE REBELS TALK ABOUT INVADING
THE NORTH

The Charleston Mercury sayss-lt is to be hoped that
within very short space of time the army of the
Potomac will be increased to extent that will render
all efforts OF the enemy futile beyond contingency, and
enable our skfu generals to carry the the
border. In this latter point Of view, the obtanment of
so many fine wagons and horses is exceedingly fortu
nate circumstance, saving much time great expen
dture OF money When Washington falls and Mary land
is redeemed let Philadelphia prepare, for this game
of two countries.

Tho ordering of three hundred additional pieces of can
non to Washington looks as If Lincoln going to pre-
pare in for the siege Of his capital When Mary

This is about what was expected. The banks
really held this morning considerably more than
$50, 900 in coin. They began to-day, however,
to make their first payments-which amount to
100000 in the aggregation account of their
recent negotiation with government; hence there
is a prospect that the statement of next Monday
will show decrease of specie. We find no trace
of the public loan in the discounts or deposits It
was expected in some quarters that it would have
been entered at once, and the amount placed to
the government credit. We understand, however,
that some matters of detail still remain to be de-
termined before the loan can be placed in bust
ness manner upon the books Of the banks. Next
week, in all probability, it will be apparent enough
in the statement.
There. is nothing doing in money. Capitalists
are reserwing themselves for the new Treasury
notes, which will be very readily taken up at par
Some of the banks claim that they are worth a
per cent premium. The inquiry for the two year
notes is brisk; they can be paid into the Custom
House for duties or into the Sub Treasury in pay.
ment of $40 notes. Mr.. Cisco has received au.
thorty from government to sell $40 notes to any
one who applies for them.
The foreign exchange market opens firm at
about 1o7A u for bankers and 1862 107 for
mercantile bills. The mail does not promise to be
very heavy one from present appearances.
Many persons still adhere to the belief that ex.
change must decline, in the course of few days,
to rates which leave profit on the importation of
coin from Europe. Hence they are not buying at
present. Francs are quoted at $685. So for
bankers, with very little inquiry.
The stock market fell off this morning on the
strength of the foreign and the call OF the Sec
rotary Of War for more troops, The bears made the
