A New York correspondent writes :
General Hunter, late in command at
Port Royal, arrived in town to day.
During the day he has deem called up
on by many of his personal friends, and
to these he has spoken very freely in
reference to the military situation at
Port Royal. He is represented as en-
tertaining very confident opinion that
Charleston can he taken by our gun
boats, and that it is the occasion of
much surprise, even to the rebels, that
an attempt, at least to capture ii has
not ere now been made.

selecting common ticket. 1t was a
nice game, but it wont win.
If the democrats really desired a
union, why did they not call a State
Convention at the same time and place
of the Republican Convention, and at
that time make reasonable PROPOSE
ton for union of parties for the good
Of the country. This would have
shown them to have been honest in
their professions.
The facts are, the proposition was
not made with any expectation that
it would be accepted, the party needed
some political capital, and the leaders
have taken this way to manufacture it.
How well they will succeed remains to
be seen.

REMEDY FOR AGUE AND FEvEl

REMEDY FOR AGUE AND FEVER.
Too much cannot be said in praise of the FOREST
WINE and PILLS as remedy for ague and fever.
We have the most fattering accounts from almost
every fever ague district in the Union, of their
complete success in this disorder, and where they
cure, it is cure indeed, the complaint does not
return again, do the remedies leave any in
furious effects behind, is the when quinine
or medicines containing quinine, are tsken.
have known many who have had their constitutions
almost ruined by taking medicines containing
quinine. The Forest Wine and Pills cannot harm
a child. and by taking them asionally, through
the sicky seasons, they will prevent attack from
ague and fever, and other disorders which are
common in new countries.
Reader, if you should be attacked by ague and
fever. do not triAe with your health by taking
quiniue or other injurious medicines, but send
directly for the Forest Wine and Pills. and we
will guarantee a speedy and permanent cure.
During the prevalence of ague and fever last
spring and summer, almost every day brought
some new proof of their great efficacy in this dis
order, and, as far can learn, they never have
failed in reaking the disorder and restoring the
patient to vigorous health. 2Iw2

w-IF THE UNION movement in tn

IF THE UNION movement in this
State had been inflated by the people,
it would have met no obstical worthy
of the name, but the fact that old dem
ocratic party hacks, who have always
opposed such movements hitherto, and
who now applaud the partizen move
ments of their own party in other
States who have steadily maintained
that the Republican party cause the
war, and associate Republicans with
secessionists, as equally guilty, IN their
resolutions of their last State COnven-
ton; who have never sustained the
administration except when it did some
thing they could turn to party purposes
On this account we say, nobody who
knows the men has any confidence in
the integrity of their intentions: and
as these men havepu themselves at the
head OF the movement, and are deter.
mined to manage it, the only safe wav
is TO throw it and them overheard
The masses of both parties we bel;eva
to be equally loyal, and we should re-.
ioice to see them acting together in
the forum as they do in the field, but
the action intended by the Union
movement in the hands of such men as
ELLwooD, simply looks to Democrat
ic party reorganization through the
destruction of parties by the ciashing
of political interests, which such move
ments as tbatproPesed, always produce.

vocates the immediate raising of halt

war with that RELENTLESS vigor which
has characterized the rebel policy from

The Proposed Union.

We publish in this Issue, the CORES

Democratic State Committee, propos
ing to the Republican Committee to
throw party issues aside for the time
and unite upon common ticket this
fall, and the reply of Mr.. 1'illman,
Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, declining the proposition.
Such union, in view of our nation
al troubles, if it could have been car
ried out, would have been very desira

from closely watching the current of
political events the past year, that the
Democratic Committee were not honest

more especially if their former profes
sions have been their real sentiments.
They have not only, heretofore, re
fused to unite with the r. pablicans
wherever elections have been held
since the commencement of the rebel
lion, but they have declared in solemn
convention that the Republicans and
Abolitionists were az bad as secession
lists and ought to he hung. If they
have in some instances pretended t.
unite, the sequel has shown, as in the
case at Detroit last Spring, that it was
for the sake of political advantage.
If we mistake not this same Elwood
was at that time bitterly opposed to a
uion. Yet he is now shedding croco
die tears because the Republicans re,
ject his loving overtures. And this
has been their course throughout. II
is only where there is hope of gain
ing some political advantage, that they
ever express desire to unite.
Another reason why We think they
were not honest in making the propo-
sition, was, that instead of making the
offer at an early day, as they should
have done, in order to give the people
an opportunity to canvass the subject
thoroughly, or at least have given the
