Or. X. G.. DIvINE.-We had the pleasure
of meeting this gentleman streets on
"Wednesday last, looking in fine health and
evidently in'good spirits. The Doctor was
taken prisoner at the battle of Perryville, and
being sent across the Federal lines via Cairo,
Sas held in DURANGO at that place six days by
the Commandant OF Post, either through via
dictfveness or Ignorance. Learning this fact,
however, Gen. Buell. had him and his com
rades released Immediately.
We reg. ct that we did not have time to en-
joy a protracted interview with the Doctor
for the beHeGt of our readers We heard hin,
say, howeveru most emphatically, that the
Yankees wcreNmaking stupendous prepare
tions to attack US both by land AID water,
and that unless were most active, Vicks-
Larg would eel tainly fail into their hands in
a short time. We have certainly had warn
ing enough in reference to ~the danger that
nenaces Vicksburg, and if that city falls into
the 4Iands of the enemy for the want of the
proper defences, it viii be burning shame
to the Shareholders of this section of Missis-
sippi, as we'll as to the Government. Is it
possible that the owners of negroes will
longer refuse 10 send them forward to work
on the Notifications TT Vicbsburg. If they

OBITUARIES.

DIED. at his residence near jacksonville, on the
lst of November, 1862, of typhoid fever, Fl J..
MCKEE, in the 4lth year of his age.
The writer of this brief notice has known the
deceased for many years, and truly say there
are few such men he was. The nober qualities
of our nature shone forth pre-emnently in him
He Kind and generous friend and affectonate
husband and father and no mans bosom beat with
higher emotions for the good of his country. But
above all, be Christian, and that's enough to
be said. His daily life exemplified his faith and
proved to all that be was living for higher and
hoer object than is to be obtained in this life.
Mr.. MeKEE taught tile public school near Madi-
sonville for eighteen years and by his untiring
ergies did much for the youth of this section. His
place, this respect, cannot be filled In addition
to his daily labors in the school-room during the
week, (and we know they were arduous,) he was
Superintendent of the Sunday School and held
experimenting every Sabbath nor was his place
ever vacant when able to attend. To speak of his
many virtues would extend this notice far beyond
the limits intended. Bat he is gone from his labors.
and we humbly believe, to that God whom he
served while on earth. No more shall we hear his
familiar voice in the school.room around the faIni-
fy hearth, in the public sanctuary but his asso
citation will be with the redeemed-brighter and
better spirits than earth contains will be his
panions. Then farewell. dear departed friend !;
although we miss thee much and the tear of sorrow
steals forth from eyes we think of thee, yet
would we not bring thee back again to this bleed
ing and distracted eountry-for no wars now dis
turb thy peaceful rest. P.

R@ The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times asserts that although
the administration organs and the members
of the Cabinet labor hard TO conceal the fact,
it is certain as any future event can be,
thas by the frst of January, if matters go on
las they are now, every powerful European
nation viii recognise the Southern States as
an independent nation, and that England
and Frauce together will raise the block
ade of the southern ports. Aud the writer
adds 'sSueh, ct least, is the assurance
made by persons abroad, who have the
means of knowing the views OF the govern

Agme, Periodical Headache, or BiliOns
FOR the whole class OF diseases orig mat
Ing ia hillary deraMgement,c caused by
the Malaria of Miasnlatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is valuable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the masmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGuE from the system, and prevents the de-
selopment Of the disease, If taken on the tsst aP-
proach Of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body shoulA
have it and use it freely both for and pr0sec
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certaiS
Of ntermittents is that II contains no Qnnne-
mineral, consequently 1t produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the eonstitu
ton Those cured by il are left as healthy MS il
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the masmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Goa, Headache, Hind
ness, 1Oothache, Eayache, Cdtoyyh, asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful 1Bcctioa of tie Spleen, Uyster-
ics PAIN ia tie B0uceks, (oEc, Paraiysis and De-
rangen,ea of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
fype, or become periodical. This "CrRE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently curcs
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarous districts. Ii taken Occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the SYSTEM and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter.
mttents If they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.
