In the fruit line matters are progressing

A AYERS
Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY cUREoF

Intern.ittent Fever, or Fever and Ague.
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, D1mb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
for the whole class OF diseases Originate
ing in hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria of Miasmatic 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
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CuRE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUK from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. Tits not only
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 should
have it and it freely both for and protec-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of Interm:t.ents is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
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, Rheumatism, Govt, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earacie, Catayvh, asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Il Fiction Of tile Spleen, Hyster-
les, Pai', in the Boieels, cole, Paralysis and De-
rangenaent of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This " CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the raalarious districts If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and canno.
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis.
ease Hens, It is even more valuable for protec,
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter.
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

IThe timely arrival Of General Nelson's
Division on the battlefield at Pittsburg Land
ing, is largely due his irrepressible dlsposi-
ton to 90 ahead. When Nelson arrived at
Duck River, he found McCcok's Division
there engaged in building bridge, but pro.
nounced the river fordable, and his men were
ordered to take of their trowsers, drawers and
socks, make them into bundles, and carry
the bundles on their bayonets. He then or
dered them to 60 in, which they did, and
were soon over the river. He then pressed
on in advance. and arrived at Savannah on
Saturday, and wished to proceed to Pitts
burg without delay, but could not get orders
to do so. Hearing the sound of the battle
Sunday morning, he waited for orders until
eleven o'clock, when he pushed on without
orders, and met General Grants messenger
with the order to hurry up, when half way
to the field. In this way he managed to get
one brigade into the fight Sunday evening,
and checked the enemy.

CoxM1rrED.-A few nights since Mrs.
Seiherty, of Wilton, was robbed of some $40.
A young woman named Bel Bean, having
stayed with her during the night, was
suspected of having stolen the money and
was consequently arrested. The suspicion
proved to be correct. a. portion Of the money
was found upon her person. Miss Bean was
taken before Justice Harker, Of Moscow, and
after an examination was held to answer at
the next term of the District Court in the
sum of five hundred dollars. Being unable
to give the required security, she was yestsr-
day committed to the county Jail. The pris-
oner has hitherto borne fair character and

Curtis, which lead the successful battle Of
Pea Ridge, Arkansas, has now returned into
Missouri, and has its present headquarters

county-seat Of fancy county, and about forty
five miles south Of springfield. The distance
from the battle-si,e is about fifty miles,
Where the column is now destined can be
be only matter of conjecture; but as Price
and Van Dorm have turned up in the Missis-

keep his eye Oil them. The march from Pea
Ridge was hard one, occupying more than
q week. Rivers had to be forded waist deep,

BUELL's FIELD SrRArsGY-How TIE REB.
ELS WERE DRAWN IN AND DEsTRoYED.-A
soldier who was in the battle of Pittsburg
writes to the St. Louis Democrat the follow.
ing account Of Gen. Buell's strategy in the
field:
ION Monday morning about 10 o'clock
Gen. Buell. executed q manauvre that reflects
great credit on him as q commander. The
rebels were advancing in great force to turn
our left and capture our transports and sup
plies, when Buell., becoming aware of their
intentions, made preparations to receive them.
About half mile above the landing are two
large ridges running back from the river
The ridge next to the landing is the highest.
Buell. placed battery on each of the ridges
and between them he placed brigade of in
fantry. The troops were ordered to lie down.
He then ordered the lower battery to fire on
the enemy and make show ofretreating in
confusion SO as to draw the rebels on. On
came the rebels pell-mell, yelling at the top of
their voices "Bulls Rum" Bulls Rum"
thinking, suppose, to frigbten US.
As soon Is the rebels came in range the
lower battery, agreeably to orders, opened
fire, retreated, and took position in the rear
of the upper battery. The rebels. seeing
our men retreating, charged up the hill and
took possession of the battery. The rebels
in the meantime were not aware of our
troops being in the hollow below them. At
this moment the signal was sounded and the
whole brigade rose to their feet and poured
deadly fire of rife balls into the ranks Of the
rebels cutting them down by scores. At
this favorable moment, also, the upper bat
terry poured in perfect storm Of grape and
canister shot. The rebels reeled and stagger-
ed like drunken men and at last broke and
fed in every direction, leaving the ground
strewed with dead and dying"
