The most terrible contest to be found

place, however, before Richmond. It:

the endurance--th heroism of our
soldiers, is without parallel in the his
terry ofswarfare. Nothing but the un-
eslanled bravery Of the men saved the
WHSLE army from utter annihilation.-
For some nnaccountable reason the
greater part Of the army was placed in
the intricacies of the Swamps of the
Chiekahominy. They we're attacked
with terrible impetuosity by the rebels,
who had been, largely reinforced,
and fersthree or four days sustained the
shock of the whole rebel army, fighting
as men never fought, and retreating to
the banks of the James river, where, if
they could make their way, they could
be protected by the gunboats. Fortu-
hately the rebels did not discover the
design of Gen.. Mcclellan to retreat to
the james river, but supposed he was
attempting to retire in the opposite di-
rection. This saved thesarmy.
After reaching the James river, on
the FIRST inst, our army made success

gunbeat Teaser was captured in James
River on the 4th. Very important pa

Baa- The Supreme Court of the State of New
York have issued a perpetual injunction
against Eaton and Jenkins for counterfeiting
Ayers Cathartic Pills, holding them response
bic for the cruel imposition in what they have
done, and restraining them from further like
injury to the public. If any class of our peo-
pie, more than another, needs the interposition
of law to shield them from imposture tits the
sick and suffering who are unable to protect
themselves. A remedy so universally en-
ployed as Ayers Pills by all classes, both to
cure AMI prevent disease, should, as it does,
have every security the law can afford it, from
counterfeit and In atation.-[ Cabinet sehenec-
