lFrom the Cincinnati Gatetle.l

II is remarkable that although the battle
at Antietam WAS promulgated as n victory
which had redeemed General McClcllan's Il
reputation from the previous unvarying
course of failure and disaster, it, more than
anything in his previous fortunes, shook
the confidence of his soldiers in him, aud
broke down that faith in the commander
which is tho esprit de corps of an army.
There in, of course n reason for this, and
il may be found in the conduct of the battle.
1t was fought on field which gave unus-
ual opportunities TO both sides to see all
its operations Ii was remarked by officers
and correspondents that our various attacks
seemed TO be conducted with delibcratiou
and alienation that gave the enenmy am
pie time To meet them. Ii is also we'll
known that reserve force was kept ouI
of the battle, aud that although the COM
mander informed the country that he acheiv
| ed complete victory, our army remained
! on the ground where the cessation of battle
left il, aud did not move until the enemy
had quietly withdrawn.
From the various accounts and from re
liable sources we gather the following plal
and conduct OF the battle; Lees army occu

NY THEORY AND TREATMENT
Are new and different from any one in the United
States and challenge any one TO produce the same
success that have met with in treating Chronic
Diseases. My theory is based upon the chemical
operations Of the body, believing diseases to depend
upon disproportoned condition of the fluids OF the
body, whereby the solids be come unhealthy by
alysing the Secretions. blood &c, of the body,
and finding out what is deficient or in excess and
supplying to the system what is wanting. | am
enabled 10 often by small amount off medicines,
where the patient has been dragged with medicines
for long years 10 no effect.
Now Dyspepsia, in the great majority ofcases de-
dendS mainly upon disproportioned state of the
gastric or digestive fluids of the stomach. When
this gastic fluid is proporiOned properly, the food is
| thorougly dgcsted and assimilated, Viewing Dys-
pepSia by the rules Of Chemcopatology, and giving
treatment accordngly,l am enabled 10 cure 40 cases
ont of 80, and 49 cases out 30 of Consumption, As

the abuse, and becomes precedent for
second violation. The best guarantee
that those in authority can give to our
