Compound Extract Of SarSapariIla,

the most cfartual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every

bincd from the most active r7mcdinls that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the b!ood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only SCrorula. but also those other alfec-

Gen. Bragg's Kentucky Campaign.
NOZZLE. Nov. 8. Isl

"A MOBILE, Nov y, lbOz.
#Thc campaign of the army of the Mississip-
has been watched with deep interest by
5e whole country. The most sauguine
pes of It's great results were cherished, and
is quite natural that, where much was
kpected, its actual fruits, great as they are,
Ould be followed by disappointment Time
ii reflection Will bring the public mind in
|oler moments to the conclusion that the
entucky expedition was the grand concep-
bn of a master miud--that it was boldly
nd vigorously executed, and that it failed
ly to answer the lofty expectations of the
untry for reasons beyond the control of
her the General or his heroic army.
Gen. Bragg assumed command OF the De-
rtment at Tupelo, Mississippi, on the last
June. The army was in no condition for
mediate action Hastily assembled to-
3ther at Corinth, from all parts of the
bnth west, it was but mass of splendid
hterIal but not organized army. 1t

hs fought in less than month after the
Rival of the first regiment. In that terrible
uhict nearly one-Ihird of the whole force
b killed or wounded. Immediately after
hrds new regiments came pouring into
Prath destitute of every requisite OF a
ldier save courage. These raw recruits

r 18th of May, it was in most deplorable
lndition. Moving to Baldwin, it rested a
eek, and then went into camp at Tupelo.

Fellosc Citizens To meet the emer-
gency of the present invasion our patriotic
Governor. Pe,tus. has agreed to accept
as many companies of old men in the
State. who are by their age exempt both
from the conscript and militia duty. As
will tender their services such compa-
MES to serve without pay to be fur
nished with tents. subsistence and arms
and when mustered into service. to be
subject TO the command of the Confed
crate General commanding the depart
ment of this State. 1t is confidently be
lieved that brigade of the gray haired
sires of the land, which would be efficient
in battle, though incapacitated for the
discharge of ordinary duties Of soldier.
can be raised for the purpose Of driving
back the ruthless invader who now pol
iutes our soil. Let the old men in each
county in our State act upon this matter
at once. Where sufficient number can
be raised in any one county TO form a
company at the minimum standard. ac-
cording to our military laws. let them
organize at once. and report TO me at
Terry's. or to Col. Oscar j. E. Stuart. at
Jackson. Mississippi. Where they can
not raise the requisite number. let them
report at once the number they can raise.
When all is raised that can be raised,
We can then meet at some place. TO be
designated by the Governor, for the
purpose of completing our organization.
Fellosc Citizens: A powerful. naughty
foe, distinguished for all the heathenish
brutality Of savage war, and every vice
of civilized life, confident in their num-
bers and their superior military appoint
ments for warfare. now threaten the des
ecra,ion of your 6resides, the spoalition
of your property. and the overthrow of
the government of your choice. conse-
Grated to you by the death of your chill
dren who have died to maintain it. and
by the sufferings of your sons who are
now toiling in the tented field to uphold
it. The rapacity and degradation which
have marked the march of their armies
in Tennessee and Arkansas, indicates to
US what we may expect in case of their
success in overrunning our State They
say that they have handled Tennessee
and Arkansas Nth gloses. but when they
get into Mississippi. they will handle US
soithom groves Let every man that is
afraid our State will be overrun. aud is
able to fight. shoulder his arms to pre-
vent it. and we will. by Gods help. drive
them back. A G BROWN.

We learn that Gen. Houston addressed
the people at Brennan again on Friday
last. A negro was hung on that day,
having been convicted of an attempt to
commit rape. and considerable crowd
being assembled. Gen. Houston was called
upon TO speak. and he responded in a
speech Of about an hours length. A
gentleman who was present says the
speech was confined TO the absorbing
topic of the present war and the part
borne by Texas 10 it. He bestowed
high and merited eulogy on the Texas
troops for the conspicuous valor they
had displayed. and If he was thirty years
younger he would be glad to have the
privilege Of leading them against The ene-
my. and even now he did not know that he
could decline such an honor we're it ten
dered him. but supposed he was not
Of the right stripe. He. however. said
he had done all that was in his power TO
do to aid his country in its present strug-
gle-that he had given the only son be
had beyond the years of infancy. and
that be had now returned cripple for
life. He was enthusiastically applauded.
