From thence the gunboats went up the Ba-

and chasing the mail rebel steamer Cotton
Subsequently they engaged the rebel steamers
and drove them, The river was obstructed

on the shore we're also engaged. We had
four men killed aud six wounded The reb-

Weitzel had not arrived by land, and it was
expected that our forces would be able to re-
move the distractions in the Bayou upon his
arrival. The rebel sharp-shooters were occu-
plying the banks. The rebels destroyed 100
hogsheads of sugar, lot Of nolasses, and
burned cars and a few engines.
The Delta says portion of Gen. Wrtzel' 5
command is at Tigervlle. The rebels had
destroyed the bridge across Bayou Bout 8
miles from Brashear city. aud Col. Thomas,
th the 9th VT, was engaged in repairing it.
As soon as Col. Thomas completes the repairs
on the bridge, the whole of his force can be
thrown on any point on the road in few
hours. We shall expect to have a good &C.
count from them in few days.

CONDITIONS UF THE STOMACH.
DIR. SCuENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
PoR DISEASES op rHE LIVER, oH TO ACT Az A GENTLE
PrHoNrivE.
All OF these three medicines are often required
in curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many desperate cases. The
Seawccd Tonic and Mandrake Pills assist in reg
ulating the stomach and Liver and help the
pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the
blood vessels by which means cure is soon eff
fectcd
These medicines are conscentiously offered to
the public rs the only safe, certain and reliable
remedies for Pulmouic Consumption. and for all
those morbid conditions OF the body which lead
to that fatal disease. Liver Complaint and Dys-
pepsia are often iorcrunncrs of Consumption, aud
when they manifest themselves they require the
most prompt attention.
The Pulmonic syrup is a medicine which has
had long probation before the public It's value
has been proved by the thousands Of cures it has
made through a period Of more than twenty years,
in all of which time its reputation has constantly
increased and the most obstinate skeptlcism can
no longer doubt that it is a remedy which may be
urrd with confidence In all cases which admit of
cure.
il the patient will perscycrously follow the di-
rcctions which accompany each bottle, he will
certainly be cured, If his lungs are not too much
wasted TO make a cure possible Even m cases
supposed to be ncurablc when friends and physi-
clans have despaired, the use of tins medicine has
saved the life Of the patient and restored him to
perfect health
~ DR. Schrnck himself was cured in precisely
such circumstances; and many others have been
equally fortunate 10y ludciously making timely
use of DR. Scheucis remedies.
DR. Schenck does not say that oil cases Of Pull
monary Consumption are within the reach of med
icines, but he emphatically asserts that often,
when patients have the most alarming symptoms,
such as a violent cough, creeping chills, night
.weats, and general debility, even to such = de-
gree that they are obliged to be in bed, and when
they are given up 10y their physicians they mag
stH be cure3 80 medical treatment can create
new lungs, but when the lungs are very sadly dis
ca,rd, aud to some extent destroyed, cure may
be effected by Schenck's medicines.
Also, in scroiulous diseases these medicines are
equally efficient Dr. Schenck has photographs
of number OF persons who have been nearly
covered with running sores and now all healed mp.
This shows its purifying properties, which must
be done TO heal cavatics in the lungs
In the treatment of Consumption it is of the
utmost Importance to give Ngor ana healthy

In addition to the present extensive IA

learn that Two FIRST class Elevators arc be-
inc built on the South Branch, by twu OF
our leading warehouse firms, to be com
pleted in q few months, and 10 be furnish
ed throughout with the most approved
machinery. including twenty three Of
Fairbanks 900 bushel hopper scales,
which is q sufficient guaranty that correct
w,i-hts will be given. Besides these, the
Messrs. Fairbanks have set in this city in
a little more than a year, about seventy
500 bushel hopper scales and dozen OF
so smaller ones, making over a hundred
in all. So perfc,t is the machinery, that
each scale may b. loaded and nuloaded in
ten or twelve minutes, which gives some
idea of the enormous amount OF grain
which may be weighed upon them all in

grain, and the railroads and canals trans
port it to Chicago; there is no doubt tn,
