DRURKEHEEss IN THE ARMY.-The
Philadelphia Bulletin says that reform
can no longer be delayed in the matter
Of drunkenness in our army, especially
amongst the officers, by which terrible
blunders are made and the lives OF
manv men sacrificed. The Bulletin
states that another most important and
morIifying case has been added to the
list. 1t is asserted that we ought to
have captured the whole rebel force at
Iuka, and would have done so but for
the intoxication of a General in high
command.

EOur neighbor of the Dispatch
makes the inquiry, "Where is now,
W. X. S. Hall?" Well, the latest in
telligence from Mr. Hall was by tele-
gram from Wheeling, where he was
staying ga few days" as the guest OF
Major Joseph C. Darr. United States
Provost Marshal of the District. The
cost Of board and lodging. we infer

BY "Uncle SAM" 1t is somewhat late
in The day 10 commence these kind OF
arrests in Gallipolis. We hardly be-
lieve Mr.. Hall to be ga sinner" above
all who dwell 10 our midst. When po-
itical prisoners. who for months have
been kept at public expense, and against
whom much could be said, but little
proven, are set at liberty without even
the form Of trial, it does look ike a
huge ''goak' to light down on our
friend Han, for merely selling sersn
barrels Of gun-caps, to the rebels on the
other side of the Ohio. If he were
charged with selling seUen barrels of
"rifie whisky" we could see the force
Of the thing. But sepen barrels Of
gun-caps looks to us as very harm
less offence. We have heard Of whis-
key in barrels marked eggs" "Vine-
gar" &C., but to brand II "gun-caps"
is bold plan to elude the vigilance of
the officers, and could only be devised
by a "cute" dealer who knew thing
or two, bat always careful to keep
within the record. Our information.
that the charge was selling seUen barrels
of gun-caps, is derived solely from the
Dispatch. II incorrect, we give our
authority.

TIE PRELUDE OF BArTLE.--The New
York Times says "there is an amazing
degree of apathy on the part Of the
public in regard to the present face-to-
face antagonism ofthe na donal and rebel
armies on the Rappshannock. We
cannot account for it on the ground Of
Inconsistencies Of the position. Every
citizen of the loyal North who reads,
knows that Gen. Burnside has led his
grand army by sudden oblique move
ment from the line Of the Blue Ridge
toward Fredericksburg. and that Gen.
Lee. not at all blinded by the strategy,
Immediately began to concentrate bis
whole army at Fredericksburg to op-
pose him. For ten days the two armies
have been confronting each other in
force, only narrow stream dividing
them, and the pickets indulging in
cOlloquies, not unfrequently within fifty
yards Of each other.
Two such bodies cannot remain as
these two are now situated, almost in
actual contact, without the early and in
evitable Consequence of deadly con-
fiict. Each army is charged to the
muzzle with wrath, and the other
knows it. Burnside holds command Of
the national troops because Mcclellan
was too dilatory in offering 6ght. His
very presence at the head of the army
is tantamount to immediate wager OF
battle. Gen. Lees inclination for a
decisive struggle, is the result equally
of policy and necessity. His army is
larger than be can ever hope to have
it again, and his men suffer more than
it is safe to make them suffer, from the
lack'Of suitable protection against the
winters cold. Every consideration Of
policy, pressure, and duty, is urging
each side TO the attack. And there
they stand. face to face. with only the
narrow river between. Burnside ought
to have $50. 1000 men. Lee is believed
by his Baltimore friends, who keep
communication with him, to have $780,
600, Including Stonewall Jackson's
corps. .sols
Yet, with the campaign in Virginia
brought to this imminent verge, there
is no emotion, no excitement to catch
the fDt booming of cannon in the
dreadful fight. There was never so
great a degree Of popular unconcern
on the eve of gigantic battle. If there
were universal superstition that the
conyerging of the two armies toward
Fredericksburg were all sham, there
could hardly be quieter lookout on
their menacing positions in front Of that
venerable town. We will not attempt
to'explain the singular phenomenon we
have described. But certsinly deeper
public interest would be more becoming
at such critical moment. Battles do
not alwaysnor oflenest be sin by pre-
meditation. They frequently commence
most UNEXPECTEDLY to both combatants.
A stray shd--a misunderstood move.

three companies Of that regiment would

The troops arrived at 4 O'Clock, and
their horses were provided with hay
and corn at the Fair Ground. The men
were taken to the houses Of our citizens
and furnished with supper and break
fast, Part Of them slept in the Masonic
Hall.
There were three eompanies-one
commanded By Capt Campbell, one
BY Capt. Leaper. and one by. Capt.
Higley. They had two hundred horses
that they were taking for two other
companies Of the Regiment. On Sun
day morning they departed for Ripley,
BY the way Of Pikston. Before they
left, Capt. Leaper, who commanded the
battalion. made a short speech, thank
ing the citizens Of jackson for then
kindness. Three hearty cheers were
then given by the soldiers, for the peO-
pie of jackson. sa-t.
The men comprising these companies
behaved with great propriety while in
oar place. and their officers may we'll
feel proud Of them. Their horses were
in fine condition. and we expect that
the 7th Ohio Cavalry will give a good
account Of itself-J0ckson Standard.

the most e~fectual remedy which the medical

bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the e~xpurgation of this foul

for the whole class OF diseases Originate
ing I'm hillary arrangement, caused by
h Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries
We are enabled here to offer the community q
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
CURB" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
n AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
Velopment of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach Of its premonitory symptoms. Tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
OF complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER n AGUE prevails, every body should
have 1t and use it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. Agreat superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the c~onstitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, RheUmGtisna, GOat, Headache, Bind
ness, TOOthdche, EGyache, CataTTh, AsthDaG, PeA
