Ayers Cathartic pills.

TTlHE sciences Of Chemistry and Medicine have
oeen taxed their utmost to produce this best,
most perfect purgatiVe which Is known to man. In.
Vulnerable proofs arc Shown that these PILLS have
virtues which surpass in excellence the ordinary
medicines, and that they win uuprecelentedly upon
tine esteem OF all men. They are safe and pleasant
to take, but powerful to cure. Their penetrating
properties stimulate the vital activities OF the body
remove the distractions of Its organs, purify the
blOod, and sxpel disease. They purge out the foul
hnmoF9 which breed and grow dlStemper, stimulate
sluggish dsOrdered organs into their natural &C
ton and impart healthy tone with strength to the
whole system. Not only do they cure the everyday
complaints Of every body, but also formidable and
dangerous diseases that have bafed the best Of hu-
man skill While they produce powerful effects,
they are at the same time, in diminished doses the
safest and best physic that can be employed for
children. Being sugar coated they are pleasant to
take; and being purely vegetable, are free from any
risk Of harm. Cures have been made which surpass
belief were they not substAntiAted by men OF such
exalted position and character as to forbid the sus
plcion Of untruth. Many eminent cIerEymen and
physicians have lent then names to certify the
public the reliability Of my remedies, while others
have sent me the assurances OF their conviction that
my Preparations contribute immensely to the relief
Of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.
The Agent below named Is pleased to furnish graf

their use and certificates Of their cures, Of the fol

@-Ir is evident that the editor of the
NtsILysneer is deceiving the public by
counting his dailies and weekliGs as the
entire edition. We have never so estima-
ted our circulation. We speak al0Gys Of
our duly circulntiOn.-EreSs.
This squirmiug and twisting does not
relieve the Press ut all of the charge we
make againstit, OF asserting that which is
not true.
Tho Press says its "eutire edition is
over three thousand" aRd in the some col
umn it says: ave speak always OF our dali
ly circulation" Now the Press knows it
has not daily circulation of three thous-
and just as we'll as it knows it has cheek

RSWE are able to announce that the
whole line of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road is now out of danger from Interrupt

work Reconstruction is rapidly going for

what better condition than was expected,
and it is believed will within few days be
opened through from Wheeling to Balti-

We are informed that there is a large
amount of freight in Cincinnati and the
Western cities, holding until the road is
opened up. Should the rate of freight not
be made too high, we have no doubt that
the Road will have as much as it can carry.

nLnrrsrs in the West.

Memphis Correspondence N. Y. Trbunel
Praise is pleasanter than censure; but
il is best to tell the plain truth regardless
of either. Matters do not look well in the
West. The skies are gloomy. l do not
know where the blame lies, but the fact is
unmistakable that since Com. FOote gave
up the command, our gallant navy is los
ing its prestige. Permitting the rebels to
complete the Arkansas, up the HazOo, at
their leisure, and afterward allowing her
to come out to surprise our gunboats, find
ing them without steam up, and to run
safely under cover of the Vicksburg batter
les, was wretehed business. If there are
blunders worse than crimes, this was one
of them. From all accounts, the recent
failure of the gunboats to cooperate with
the ram QResa IF the &C. Tsss T8ssssj E hfE daring
sas belongs in the same category.
Commo lore Davis is a patriotic and ac-
complished gentleman, and his hands may
be so tied by red tape as to destroy his eff
cheney. His failure to obtain land force
to cooperate with him in attacking Vicks-
burg, after his earnest and repeated appli-
cations for it, was doubtless embarrassing
and disheartening. But these two occur
rences with the Arkansas are disastrous,
and Il. the public, inexplicable. It is due
to his own reputation and the fame of our
Western navy, that the cause Of them
should be made known, and the response
bility placed wherever it belongs.

EDITOR LEADER For long time our
village has been infected with few men
who have delighted in peddling secesh doc
trine, and doing all they could to prevent
enlistments in the army.
Last evening little circumstance trans
pared which has put quite damper on the
G secesh," and which is worth relating.
As near as 1 can ascertain the facts in
the case, a certain seeesh was vociferating
as usual on the street, when soldier came
along who had been slightly wounded at
Cross Lanes and fell into the hands Of the
enemy, who, intending to give him all the
suffering possible, made two amputatiOns
Of his leg He, of course, bears hearty
grusdge against seessh and coming along and
hearing secesh talk, he opened on the
gentleman and all others who sympathised.
Becoming excited, our ,One-legged soldier
proposed to clean Out all the secesh present,
and dropping his crutch and cane and
drawing his coat, he whipped two and
drove a third into his hole
Weare determined since one-legged Tom
has holed the skunk, he shall nevermore
come forth to psddle essence. W.

nIors Iron-CIads NearIr Reaar.

More IrOn-CIads Nearly Ready.
In a short time we shall have three more
formidable iron-elad gunbOats ready for
service. We refer to the Chillieothe, Indi-
anOla and Tuscumbia, now building and
nearly completed, the two former at Gin
cinnati, and the latter at New Albany, In
diana. The three boats named, says the
St. Louis Republican, are OF the Monitor
order, that is, their armaments are carried
in turrets, impregnably encased in iron,
while every part of the hulls, in any man
ner exposed to shot, are guarded with
heavy plates several feet below the water
line. The Chillicothe is nearly finished.
She has ell her machinery in, her deck
plating completed, her turret more than
half plated, and much Of her bow and stern
plating on. Her side plating will not be
put on until she has passed through the
canal at Louisville, her width being such
that she can barely go through without the
plates.
t&She is the smallest of the three, built
strongly, with side-wheels working in
recess; is entirely iron-clad, sides, bow,
deck and stern-her deck being iron one
inch thick, and her hull plates two inches.
Her tower is covered with three inch plates
carrying two guns of 16S pound calibre.-
With all her armament on board, she will
draw but thirty-four inches. In length
she is one hundred and sixty-two, with
width of fifty feet. Her officers rooms
and machinery are all below deck, and
perfectly protected from shot. She has
two steam capstans Of great power, which,
in shoal water, would be able to haul her
over bar with two feet water. She has
made a trial trip, and easily makes five
miles an hour up stream.
The Indianola is a larger boat, being one
hundred and seventy BY fifty feet, with
nine foot hold. She is powerfully and
heavily built, with side-wheels, and, in ad-
dition, two propellers. She has Eve large
boilers, and four engines Of great power,
which viii propel her without trouble ten
miles per hour, up stream. She also car
ries one hundred and sixty-eight pound
guns, in a shot-proof tower, covered with
three-inch iron, her hull, in every part,
bow, sides and stern, being protected with
tWo-inch iron, and her deck covered with
two-inch plates. In every respect she is
a war vessel Of formidable strength, and
is designed for ease and speed in hand
ling. as well as for the crushing power Of
her armament. Her machinery Is all in,
and withih six weeks 1t is expected she
will be ready for service. saa
The Tuscumbis is being gbuilt at New Al
bany, her size being such that she could
not be carried through the canal She is
one hundred and seventy feet by seventy,
with seven foot hold, and will carry one
hundred and sixty-eight pound guns
She is in every way like the Indianola,
only larger, having side-Wbeels and pro-
pellers, with immense engines in sire and
power, capable Of taking her against tbs
