Acting directly upon the nervous tissues, it
strengthens and revvifes the system, and re-
stores it to elasticity and vigor.
For Piles-As an external remedy, we claim
that it is the best known, and we cha llenge
the world to produce equal. Every victim
to this distressing complaint should give it
trial, for it will not fail to afford immediate
relief and in majority of cases it will effect
a radical cure.
Quinsy and Sore Throat are sometimes ex-
tremely malignant and dangerous, but a timely

enlargement of the joints is liable to occur if
neglected. The worst case may be conquered
by this Liniment in two three days

It is stated that the late battle of
Chickamanga was fought by Rosecrans
under imperative orders from Halleck
to move forward and crush Bragg.
Gen. Burnside by the same authority,
some time before was ordered up the
east Tennessee valley into Virginia,
and this order suddenly conntermandcd
by issuing another to reinforce Rose
Grams, but sufficient time was not grant
ed him to reach Rosocrans, before the
latter was ordered TO and did give
battle to Bragg. The New York
"Tribune's' and ''IIcrala's" correspon-
dents assert these things and if they be
true the blame OF defeat rests with
Halleck, for ordering Rosecrans into
battle, before he was certain that Burn
side could aid him.

lie Grand Byington, the Chairman OF
the Coprerhcad State Central Commit.
tee, AMI chief faslemcn for the party in
this State, who is now supporting Tut
tie for Governor, recently advised Demo
cratic ratification meetings TO petition
the Board OF Supervisors OF the various
counties OF the State, to vote money to
keep drafted men out Of the army. This
he of course conccives to be very prop.
or and constitutional. But when John
son county voted bounty Of $50 for
every volunteer enlistin, in the county
the same despicable Copperhead de-
nounced the measure in the bitterest
terms, aud refused to pay the tax levied
by the coun les to pay the bounics, de-
claring that the bounties and the tax
were illegal and unconstitutional. To
vote money to enable the Government
to get soldiers is unconstitutional and
very wrong, Of course, in the eyes OF
this traitor, but the voting of money to
deprive the Government of men is what
he can cordially recommend.
But this is not all Of his treason and
his meanness. The old traitor has a
good deal more than he deserves OF this
world's goods, and is enabled to keep
money on deposit at the bank. The
interna! revenue law requires that upon
checks Of over $50 two cent stamp, or
larger, shall be attached. So bitterly
opposed is Byington to lending an as.
sistance to the government, that some
time since, having occasion to draw
from the State Bank some hundreds Of
dollars, he drew it out in a number Of
$50 checks, that he might not be com
pelledto pay even penny that he could
avoid to the Government. The Bank
Directory learning this, ordered him to
withdraw his desposits, refusing any
longer to keep his money, and he drew
the remainder in the same manner, by
a number Of small checks.

Mitchell ef Penn sylvania, but who lives
At Iowa City, c. NJ. Willard of Chicago
Chicago, and Hon H. NJ. Martin Of
Marengo, and extensive private drum
ming,they succeeded in raising, torthem,
a very respectable sized audience.
The only speaker in attedance was
that Hon. H. NJ. Martin, VIII, was de
feated last fall for Member of Congress
by Mr.. Grinnel, and has been growing
about it ever since.
His remarks, which were much dis
connected, when s'fted, summed up or
si,nmered down, amounted to nothing
more or less than pitable lament that
slavery lad received its death wound
in this rebellion, and charging the Re.
publican party with being responsible
for it.
Nothing was said denouncing the
authors Of the rebellion, nothing APP.
plauding the valor and patriotism Of
our soldiers, hut it was just such a
speech "a JEFF Davis and his followers
could and would not find any fault with.
His own conscience told him so, or he
would not have anticipated our just
comments upon his speech, for he new
too well what we would have to tell,

there was not more than 500 Copper
heads there; when the truth Of the
case is there was not 500
people on the ground, fully one third Of
whom were women and children, and
about one fourth were sight seeing Re.
publicans, and yet the crowd was
worthy Of a far better speech than
was made.
