SPECIAL NoTIcE-Dr. Roback's Remedies.
We publish in another column of to-day s
paper, an article copied from the Cincinnati
Times, descriptive Of DR.. Roback's extensive
medical establishment in that city. BY the
way, DR.. Robaeks Remedies have obtained
a great and deserved popularity with all elias.
ses. II has been but short time since these
Remedies were introduced into our section Of
country yet Dr. Brennan, Dr., Roback's
agent in this place, informs us that his sales
of the Blood Pills and Blood Pnrifer nov fat
ex ceed those OF all other medicines for which
he is agent, combined The reason for this,
is, that they have stood the test Of practical
experience. We know this not only from the
mouths Of others, but we have used them in
our own family with the very best results.
For all diseases flhe blood, general debility,
whether proceeding from sickness or from
natural weakness, indigestion, and all kind.

Wan Remedies as the pery best medicines
extant They are destined TO achieve not an
ephemeral success, but permanent aud de-

Holding Good couple Of months
since we announced that Weather-Seer--a
venerable gentleman of the typographical
profession-had made prediction that the
winter would be what, in common parlance,
is styled an 'open" one We stated that he
based his prediction on certain appearances,
and data, and by aid of system which he
was not able fully to explain. He described to
us the style Of weatherwe would have between
that period and New Years as faithfully as
though he had waited until after the date
He has been faithful predicator thus far
and we feel like giving him a prophetic title
until the elements shall strip him Of the pres
tige he has already earned.
Our ancient friend renews his prediction
and says that we will have very little bittei
cold weather this winter, and that after New
Year we will have "rains and foods" He
don't believe the wheat crop win be Of much
account next year. unless some unforeseen
fortunate aid should soon arise and he CAM

CoALEs New JAPAN.-We have already
apprzed our readers OF a new article of ia
pan, now in general use in this city. The
excellence OF the article is fully set forth in
the following certificate from Messrs. John

with lampblack ground in raw oil. Wefound
that for these two colors we had TO use d
larger proportion OF dner than that recon.

we found the quantity Zone eight quite
enough to dry them thoroughly. Practical
painters know that Japan that will dry lamp

color that it is put into. We therefore have
no hesitation in recommending it to the
trade and to the public generally.

Whole Hog.-A rather queer exhibition
was given yesterday on Centre street. by a
gentleman who was the proprietor Of half.
grown porker Piggy had run away from his
owner, and when found refused to accompany
the inconsolabe fellow home After numer-
Gus attempts to induce or compel an advance
of master piggy in the direction of his sty,
oil of which were highly unsatisfactory ow.
ing, probably, to the kink in his tail being
turned the contrary way, the owner at length
grabbed the recusant porker, and resolutey
struggled to carry him home. But the large
crowd of spectators predicted disaster to the
expedent, from the violence Of master pig
gys commissions to get free. And it soon
came for the pig kicked the owner violently
in the face, and the next instant the strug-
Cling pair were in the gutterl The pig got
up first and ran away, the disconnected owner
following rather slowly, and scratching his
head

WASHINGTON TREMBLING.-We take
the following from Washington letter to
a Northern paper:
Poor old Washington had another ague
fit yesterday, upon reception Of the news of
a fight between "stonewall" Jackson and
Gen. Pope. We are not even yet in pos
session of sufficient information to allay ex-
citement, and consequently it is confidently
expected that the city will be in rebel hands
before the end of the week at fsrthest.-
Washington is. subject to big scares, and
has them frequently. Like prudish vir-
gin who shrinks with alarm and horror
from the slightest contact with man, Wash
ington trembles at every battle in Virginia,
and imagines at the flash of a musket or
the roar of six-pounder, that an immedi-
ate attempt will be made upon her immac-
ulateness by the rebel libertines, and yes
terday she shivered >" day as if the rough
hand of the destroyer were already upon
her; and last night her slumbers were of
that light and broken kind that attends the
rest of the timorous 10 the midst of dan

FROM THE RAppAHANNooK. learn
ed through Mr.. John B Tilden, of this
city, who witnessed the fight on the banks
of the Rappahannock on Saturday, that ii
was wholly an artillery duel, fought from
the opposite banks of the river. Two
brigades (Auderson's and Evans') were en-,
gagged on our side, with the Washington
and Browns (Mississippi) Artillery. The
design of engaging the enemy was to divert
their attention whilst jackson crossed above
and fell upon them. Of the result of Jack
sons movement nothing had transpired
when Mr.. Tildeu left, though our forces
on the bank of the river had silenced the
enemy on the other side. Our loss in xii.
led and wounded was supposed to be about
three hundred. The enemy destroyed a
train of cars loaded with stores, to prevent
its falling into our hauds.-Lynchbury

ATTACK OF THE ENEMY's GUNBoATs
UPON THE BEAUREaARD BATTERY.-A'
bout haE:past three O'clock, on Thursday
afternoon; one of the gunboats from the
enemy's feet off the Bar steamed in towards
the shore, and opened fire, first upon the
battery at Beach Iulet, and then upon the
Beauregard Battery, under command Of
Major Rhett. The battery replied with
spirit for about half an hour, when the gun.
boat drew off, Another one, however, soon
came in to take her place, and renewed the
fire upon the battery, winch again replied.
The latter. firing lasted little over half an
hour, when the attacking vessel steamed of,
like her predecessor. Although many of
the enemy's shells fell in the neighborhood
of the battery, none took effect within it,
and no damage whatever was sustained
from the fire of the gunboats.
The firing from the battery was remarka-
bly, good. We learn that six shots in suc-
cession were in the direct line of the ship;
some little short, some little over. The
gun used was rihed 32.pounder, undw
the direction of Captain John G. Mitchell,
Jr. The distance of the vessel was about
tour thousand yards.

MORE TYRANNY.-From a special des.
patch to the Cincinnati Commercial, it will
be seen that Lincoln's Star Chamber off.
cials have arrested DR. Edison B. Olds, Of
Ohio, and taken him to Fort Lafayette for
confinement:
Dr., Olds has for many years been one Of
the leading Democratic politicians of his
State, and great favorite with the people,
by who'o he was several times elected to
Congress from a decided Wing District.--
He has always opposed the fanatiqisms Of
the, Northern radicals, and vas one of the
four Ohio Democrats who voted for the
Kansas Nebraska bill. Having been re-
Gently nominated by the Democracy for
Congress, he took. occasion, in the canvass
now progressing, to announce his hostility
to the emancipation and other negro
schemes of Lincoln and the late Congress-.
His arrest will array against the Admins.
tration host of warm friends in the Buck
eye State, who will not tolerate such in
quisitorial proceedings. The tgraut will
find the step an unfortunate one for his
cause.

CASTOR OIL.

Because the season is near when the
Palma Christi Castor 0il): bean Of the
present years crop will be ready for use, it
is proper thai all persons engaged in. its
production be informed of the processes. BY
which the said bean may be brought into
use as medicine. - ,
When the capsule is about to expel the
bean it is ripe the ripe bunohes should be
removed FROM the stalk with a knife, and
1aid thinly over hard and dry floor Of
earth, plank, &C., on hot and sunny day;
when the heat of the sun will cause. the
capsules to expelathe. consained beams
Now rake away the straw, and winnow a.
way the chaff.
The cleansed beans are now to be beaten
in mortar with pestle, or ground in a
mill to a good degree of fuepess. The
mass may now be made to give out the Con-
tanned oil, either by decoetiou, or by ex-
preston. -. -: -
l. By decoction. Put the mass loosely
in an iron pot, and add sufficient water; or
inclose it in coarse bag, and suspend it in
the water, and boil it -antil the oil is ex.
tracted, then carefully skim it fromIthe sur
face of the water from time to time. -.
s2. By expression. Subject the mass of
ground beans to hard pressure when in
closed in cloths, BY means of wedges; or,
by screw or lever, when inclosed in hol-
low cylinder made of iron, or wood, lined
with sbeet-iron OF tin, of sufficient capacity !;
and receive the oil in suitable vessels.
To clarity the oil. Boil it with little
water added, and remove the coagulased
albumen and gummy matter from the sur
face by skimming. Let the boiling be not
carried too far, or it will alter the quality
of the oil and render it acrid and unfit for
medicine.
The beaten, beans may be used as pur-
gative, but an overdose is sure to act pow
erfully as cathartic, and often is enetic.
Three beans "a little more or less) is gen.
orally enough for dose. Such is the in
formation which have derived from other
persons, and from the books upon the matter.
