Yankee Depredations n, Eastern North
Carolina.

A gentleman who left South Mills, N. c., a
few days since, informs US that Sunday, he
goth inst, party of some fifty Yankees visits
ed that neighborhooG, coming from Norfolk
and having with them a half dozen negro men
in arms. These negroes, it was subsequently
ascertained, had runaway from that place some
ten DAYS previous, and had now come back af
ter their wives and children. They succeeded
in obtaining them, and during the night about
one hundred other negroes joined the party
when sbey marched off IN the direction OF Nor
folk. A few days before this occurrence
considerable number of negroes had made their
escape, and young man from Pasquotank
county, named Job Williams secreted himself
IN company with several others, near the line
house, with view to intercept and capture
them. At late hour of the night some forty
negroes made their appearance, armed with
pistols and cudgels, and. discovering Mr.. VS.
place Of concealmeut, one of them fired and
shot him through the femoral artery. Before
falling he discharged both barrels oe his guE
when the negroes fled. Mr.. w. was taken by
his associates to the hotel where he died before
a ply sician could reach him. On the succeed.
ing day a negro man was brought back by a
gentleman who found him on the road with a
severe, and probably fatal, gunshot wound
through the abdomen. The stampede Of ne,
groes from Eastern North Carolina is great
that unless strong guerrilla parties are imme-
diately formed and sent thither, it is thought
that the country will be entirely drained Of its
slave population in short time.

Anotder brilliant affair for the Confederate
arms.-A special dispatch to the Lynchburg
Repub blican, dated at the "Narrows OF New
River, July 2s,' via Dublin, says that
the gallant Major Bailey, commanding four
companies of cavalry, in all about one hundred
and fifty men, were sent to the rear of the en-
emy by Col McCausland, and succeeded in
storming Summersvlle, the county seat of
Nicholas, on Friday morning at daylight
They killed and captured the entire garrison
including the Lieut.. Col. Commanding, pamed
Starr, and three other commissioned officers
besides sixty two non>commissioned officers
and privates. q few Of whom were paroled.-
Not being able to bring away the large guam
titles os commissary, quarterniaster and ord

committed them to the flames. Major Bailey
brought to this place large number of Enfield
rifles, horses and mules. The prisoners arriv.

The notorious renegade and spy, DR.. VIM.
Ruckur, is among the prisoners. The telegraph
office was destroyed, and the operator captur,

This affair is regarded as one of the most
brilliant exploits Of the war in this section
It's successful execution has spread the widest

RAILROAD ACCIDENr-We learn by the
Peru Herald that Hugh Moriarty, son of
Marks Moriarty of this city, was killed by
an accident on the railroad at La Sale on
Saturday evening last. He was loading a
twohorse wagon with coal at the La Sale
shaft, near the Central bridge, his team
standing on side track adjacent to that
of the Chicago d. Rock Island Railroad
As the train came along his horses fright
ened and unmanagble, crossed over to the
railroad track and were struck by the To-
connective and both. OF them killed. Mr.
Moriarity, in attempting to save his horses,
lost his own life. The whole transpired SO
suddenly that the engineer was unable to
stop the train in time to save the man and
horses While the friends were taking
care OF the body of the dead man some
rascally persons stole the harness that
were on the horses, which have not Yet
been recovered.

mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than q sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with q perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the nl;asmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class Of complaints, but also the
cheapest. Tho large quantity we supply for
a 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 1T freely both Tor cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor az well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agne is not alone the consequence
Of the miasnatc poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement Of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
zeal. This " CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t IS an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fiction, that viii be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Inteunittents, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy at
