counts of tho battle of Pittsbnrg and
from all these have been enable to CLEAN
the true facts i'll the case, Of the seizure
by the rebels Of some Of the Iowa regi
Ments as prisoners.
The facts arc these. The Iowa regi.

pear the centre Of the long fighting
column. The first attempt to break our
lines was ut the centre in front Of our
regiments, who not only withstood the
shock Of thcirsf vc-c attack and Superior
numbers, bnt actually rcpulsed and
drove them back two or three times and
made some advance upon their ground
After about two hours trial, the enemy
withdrew their efforts to break our
centre and concentrated them upon the
two wings. which, soon after gave away
This left the centre surrounded on three
eiles by The enemy, who closed in upon
i and secured their great haul of ,ri
anners among them the s, II and l4,h
Iowa regiments.
There being much timber and under
brush on the battle ground and the sur
face Of land quite uneven, the centre
was unable to discover that the two
wings had given away in time for them
III to save themselves by rctrcating,
and so they were surrounded and cap
lurcd.

DYSPEPSIA.

This il very distressing complaint,
and gives the patient more suffering
than almost any other disease in fact,
it is combination Of many complaints
in one. The symptoms are numerous.
and are Of the nature Of almost all 9th
er complaints combined. From this
fact arise tho very many cases where
this disease is mistaken for some
other, and 50 improperly treated. The
first symptoms-indigestion, liatnlency,
loss Of appetite, htar'bnrn, headache.
etc. if negle ted. almost always awaken
some dormant disease, and send the
poor sufferer TO a premature grave.
What you must first do is cleanse the
blood and regulate the bowels; do this
with the "Mountain Herb Pills." and
you can bid defiance to dyspepsia.
