]. WooDs Sir, | am permitted to tell you
through this medium something of our wherea-
bouts. But first know that the boys in Co. f. are
well and in high glee. They are desirous of
learning something of everything connected with
the art of war. The science they pay but little
attention to knowing that that which is learned
by theory is only made effective and useful by
application But to our marching We have
marching 300 or 400 miles, and have as vet but
little experience although we came with little
more speed than DOUBLE QUICK. We came by
Crestline and Columbus to Cincinnati thence to
Louisville by way of the river. Nnthing unusual
occurred daring the trip save the deatenng cheers
that greeted our ears at every station along the
route. A flag with two stripes was exhibited on
the Kentucky side of the river. Some of the
boys wanted very much to send a bullet through
it, bet they were restrained from doing so from
two reasons: first, the bearer was female; sec
ond, they had no bullet. We arrived at Louis
vile at 6 o'clock on the evening Of the 18TH We
remained on board the boat until morning
marched to camp miles east of the city found
all necessary convenionces for our comfort. dur.
ing this pleasant winter weather at least. Our
grub consist of buiscuit, coffee, meat and beans.
The biscuits possess about the specific gravity"
of brickbat, and not unlike in color. We
were not long in camp until we were beseiged by
cake, pie and apple venders. The boys were not
very ravenous, notwithstanding the temptation.-
Some Indiana soldiers had been poisoned here
and our fellows were Suspicious We do not ex-
pect to remain here long. We are now under
marching orders, our destination is Bardstown,
some 40 miles south of this. There we expect to
get sight of "secesh.' Thence to Bowling Green,
about eighty miles from here, where the enemy
are cncamped in considerable numbers. We
know yet but little of soldiers life, but we
can testify somewhat with respect to soldiers fare
and the weight ola knapsack. But all hardships
vanish when we consider the Importance of our
mission But enough for the present.

An Obliging Neighbor.

We have subscriber who is certainly very
obliging neighbor We recently received note
from him enclosing three dollars, which he stated
was to pay for two copies of the FARMER for the
coming year He gives as his reason for taking
two papers that neighbor of his was so parsim
onious that he stopped the FARMER and relied on
borrowing from him, and as he was determir ed to
have his own paper to read and was also desirous
of accommodating his neighoor he determined to
furnish him with the paper. The borrower is
much the wealthier man of the two. Hc should
be ashamed of himself Paper borrowers are the
greatest nuisance in the country.

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF


Intermittent Fever. or Fever ard Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache. and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the VIII ole class of diseases OriSinRt-
ing in hillary derangement. caused by
the Malaria of Miasmatic Countries.
We arc enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these allicting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" eXpels the miasIlatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
yelopment of the disease, If taken on the first ap-
proach OF its prenonitory symptoms It's 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 should
have it and use il freely both for cure and protec
ton. a great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of lntermittents Is that 1t contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
don. 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, RheHniatisn, Cont, Headache, Bind
ness, IOOfhdche, EdrGche, CdtdI7h, AstkmG, Pal
pitation, Painful affection Of TIE Spleen, Hystsr-

the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike 1t is an invaluable protection ia

that will be eXcrcted 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
mittents il they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

Remedies have obtained great and deserved pop,
ularity with all classes. 1t has been but short
time since these Remedies were introduced into
our section of the country; yet DR., Brennan, pr.
Roback's agent in this place, informs us that his
sales Of the Blood Pills and Blood Purifier now far
exceed'those of all other medicines for which he is
agent, combined The reason for this. is that they
know this only from the m0thes OF others, but we
have used them in our own family with very best
result. For all diseases of the blood, general de-
bility, whether proceeding from sickness or from
natural Weakness, indigestion, and all kindred all

permanent and deserved reputation, which will

a midst all the bitterness Of partisan dis
cussion since the present Administration be-
gan, there have been some points in regard "a
which It's friends and opponents, alike, have
frankly admitted that it was not safely assai
able. One Of these invulnerable points, by
general acknowledgment all along, has un.
doubtedly been and now is the conduct Of the
finances Of the Government
10 order to signalze themselves, probably, by
dissent from the universal verdict, some scrib,
lere. using the columns Of New York Jour,
nal, have, Of late, been making systematic as
sau!ts upon Mr.. Secretary Chase. We car,
not to stigmatize the spirit and the motive:
Of this class of writers as they deserve, since
every reader at once recognizes the animus ol
their articles to be low, selfish, and truculent
The sufficient answer to all such attacks, is
the credh Of the Government maintained
through twenty months Of unexampled diff
supported amidst the storms Of war
the conflicts Of factions, aud the intrigues O.
seli-seekiDg money .chaDgers-and this day
standing at height on Change in London
Paris, and every other European city, and il
all the markets Of the world, unsurpassed, and
we might add, unparalleled during any simi,
lar etsiS. This, We say, is a sufficient answer
TO all the attacks attempted upon tine head Of
the Treasury Department.
The country at large, without reference Ia
parties, has confidence in him. He is of the
calibre of Pitt, of Necker, Of Hamilton.
Men who have no personal acquaintance witt
Mr.. Chase, and men who have no persona
prediction for him, yet join in common graf
tude to the Secretary who has preserves
and supported the national credit, and in do

permitted to any one to effect toward preserv.
ing and maintaining the ascendancy of the ma.
tional authority, and, therefore, the stability o.
the Government and the permanence of tht
Union.
The voice OF the American people will &c
