A letter from Portsmouth, Va, says
She Government has made extensive
preparations for raising many of the
vessels which were sunk in that vicini-
~ at the commencement of the war.
We quote
Last fall, the wreckers began ope-
rating at the Navy Yard at this place,
where the jamestown, Delaware, Co
lumbus, Pennsylvanis, Germantown,
and United States lay submerged.
The two latter have been raised from
their positions, and now lie high and
dry upon the shore.
Opposite Newport News the Cum
berland and Congress are in about
eleven fathoms of water. The former
is with her starboard side upward, and
is greatly exposed to the ebb and flow
tides. This makes it moro than ordi-
narily difficult to operate upon her.
The submarine divers go down every
day, and thus far have placed heavy
chains through the PORTFOLIOS prepare
tory to raising her. The lifting power
will be ready very soon, and when
this is attached the ships will come
up.
e The divers give it as their opinion
that the woodwork of the Cumberland
is considerably worm eaten on the in
side. They think that the hull will be
found to be in good condition.
Several guns and some iron have
already been taken out fthe Congress.
A number of relics, such as sabres
pistols and knives have been brought
up. A number Of skeletons are on
board the vessels. Some are in ar
upright position, whence it is presumed
that they, when alive, were cndeavor
ing to make their escape when the i'll
fated ship went down. After the re
mains Of these noble men, who los
their lives on board the Cumberland
and Congress, while battling the rebe|
Merrimac, are recovered, they will be
placed separately in boxes and con.
veyed to the Portsmouth Naval Hospi-
tai, and inferred with all due honors
in the burying ground connected with
d the institution, if not all recognized
by their surviving friends. This is in
accordance with letter from the
Secretary of the Navy, to Captain
Holbrook, who is experimenting the
raising of vessels for the Government
The Merrimac lies in the Elizabeth
river, between Sewall's Point and Nor
folk. a little white flag flies over the
spot where she was sunk, to designate
her. If she was raised she would be
of but little value To the Government
as her bottom was blown out. She il
an obstruction in the river, and will
be undoubtedly removed, and this vii
be done by blasting her under the
water. Her timbers will then come tc
the surface and float away. The met
al remaining can be easily gathered
by the divers, or removed beforehand.
Besides the vessels enumerated,
there are many smaller craft lying at
the bottom of the river and out in Hamp-
ton Roads.

The recipe Is given to all physicians.
That they may know what they are using.
The combination OF Sarsaparilla with StiIlingia
Is well known to all medical men as
The best compound 10 purify the blood ever used.
It cures scrofula In all its worst forms.
All diseases of the skin il cures effectually.
Syphilitic Swellings. Erysipelas. Scald Head,
SAat Rheum, Female Complaints, Tumors,
Kings Evil, and all diseases arising from any
impurity of the blood.
Physicians will tell YOU to let alone all pro-
prietary or quack medicines, as they call them.
WHY For the simple reason that they are
put up with printed directions and the name
and label is copyrighted. Show them the
formula Of preparation, and in nine cases out
ten they will approve of it. There are testi-
monials from physicians whose prejndices are
overbalanccd by their good sense of the excel
lent virtues of Scovills Blood and Liver Strip
and who are using il for their private practice.

An Affecting Scene.

Last Tuesday, at McGregor. the
thousands of Union men and women
there assembled. we're formed in pro-
cession and marched to the residence
Of Col. Sam'l Merrill, who is suffering
from severe wounds received in battle.
Col. Merrill was on his bed, which
was near an open window, fronting
the street. The brave man, though
suffering from two painful wounds,
held small Union flag in his hand
which he waved in acknowledgment
of the three hearty cheers which he
received from the assembled multitude.
Soon after the arrival of the large
delegation from Hardin. their large
and handsome flag was planted on the
residence of Colonel Merrill, by j. G.
Beedy Esq, of Hardin. This evidence
Of devotion brought tears to the eyes
of the gallant hero, and many friends
who saw the act. All honor to Colo
mel Merrill and his noble 2lst Iowa.
