The EXCURSION 10 Chicago on thursday
was so great success that Mr. AkNo'-D
himself was zen by surprise. His twenty
one cars, which he supposed would be
ample, proved so inadequate when the
hour of starting came that hundreds
were excluded. 1t was no fault OF his, fer
they should have bought their tickets IN
time and then he could have got more
cars. There was no accident, however,
and, although somewhat crowded, the
party bore all in tho best humor, and
seemed, to enjoy themselves to the full.

the case with DIS. D 4 y. they have,
besides the needed taste. the sock TO
make brilliant dis! lay. Being both &C.
complis.led physicians, they know all
about drugs, and deal in none but what
are pure Their endless stock of pertum-
erieS, cosmetics, &c, is selected with the

is certainly a comfortable feeling of safety
in buyin. drugs OF such :!en that we do
not feel buying OF mere traders. But not

Glsanlngs from Our Exchanges.

We notice that many Of our exchanges put
no confidence in the statements of Mr. Thomas
Jefferson Boyer, that Mr.. Cameron offered to
black mail him for his vote.
The PittSburg Chronicle has leader on the

matters are just now very much in ''mnddgc"
1t is thought that Arkansas already is, or
soon will be, completely under Federal control.
The St. Louis (Mlssouri) Democrat has an
editorial on Democracy and the North. That
paper says:
We do not credit any considerable change
OF sentiment in the loyal States since the war
began. The men who are disloyal now were
dislOyal then. The leaders of the Peace
Democracy would then have spoken and acted
the same when the first gun of the gar was
fred as they do to-day, If they had dared"
The rebels manifested great barbarlty towards
our sick at the capture of Holly Springs. A
surgeon in our army gives the facts in thi.
case officially. We quote single fact:
"a rebel cavalry officer, named Brewster
who stated that he had beUn detailed by Gen
Van Dorm to march of every sick man who
q had not been paroed,' collected together, pls
Lol In hand, about $50 sick soldiers, forced
them to rise from their beds and fall in line
threatened TO shoot the medical officer who OK
Postulated with him, and actually made tn
poor fellows, suffering from typhoid fever
pneumonia and diarrh@a, start with him OIL
the road. The men fell down In the street
and had to rise again for fear Of being shot
when they were so weak that the slightest mo
ton was agony"

STIRRING NEWS EXPECTED FROM
VICESBURG AND PORT HUDSON.

General Grant Is to command in person in
the next, or present, attack on Nlcksburg.
There is reason to believe that the city has been
attacked before this by our combined land and
naval forces; If so, 1t can hardly be possible
that they will be repused the second time.
Simultaneous with Grants movement against
Vcksburg, General Banks, aided by Admiral
Farraguts fleet OF gunboats, will mako a COM
bined attack upon Port Hudson. If Grant and
Banks are both successful, the FEATHER OF

HIGHLY IMPORTANT
CAPTURE OF TWO BRITISH STEAM
ERS WITH SUPPLIES FOR
THE REBELS.
GOOD FOR THE NAVY.

The Navy Department has received lnforma-
ton of the capture of the English steamer An
tona, direct from England, via Havana, by the
gunboat Pocahontas, on the 9Th instant. She
had on board valuable cargo of munitions OF
war. She was first discovered by the blockad-
ing force of Mobile, but was captured by the
Pocahontas thirty miles s. s. z. of Cape San
Bias.
In addition to the above, II will be seen by
our udvices from New Orleans, in another col
umn, that the United States gunboat TIoga,
Capt. Cleary, captured of the Bahamas, the
British steamer Pearl, said TO be loaded with a
valuable cargo. May she prove to the gallant
men who captured her "a pearl of great price"
There is no doubt that the vessels named above
are two of the British fleet OF forty which sailed
from British ports since November last with
the intention Of running the blockade and sup,
plying the rebels.
Since writing the above, we learn, from dis,
patches at the Navy Department, that the
"PeaTl" is an iron sldo-wheel, light draft
steamer, OF 10 tons burden. Her cargo con
sisted Of "pea Jackets" 1t is known that thil
steamer was purchased by the Conlederat,
States agent in England

TWO MORE OF THE BANKS TRANS.
PORTS ASHORE ON A REEF AT
EAST FLORIDA.
ONE A TOTAL WRECK.

Acting Lieutenant Commanding CavGndy,
of the U. 6. bark GCmsbok," at Turtle har.
Dor, East Florida, reports to tho Navy Depart
mcmt, that on the It'll instant the U. 6. trans.
port ship Lucinda" with troops for General
Bank, run on the reef, a short distance to the
Northward Of Beacon NJ" She was got oil
and proceeded ON her voyage In safety. On
the 9TH instant, the large ship Sparkling Sea, q
engaged in tho same service, ran on the same
reef, three miles south Of Beacon NJ" She
stove hole in her bottom, filled, and would
probably prove a wreck. A dispatch was sent
to Rear Admiral Bailey, at Key West, to send
a steamer 10 save Government property. The
steamer "Sagamore'' conveyed the troops OIL
the Sparkling Sea" TO Key West. Lieut.
Caycndy attributes the disasters to the ships as
arising from Caroleosne6s in not throwing the
lead to ascertain what depth of water they
were In. Soon after the "Sparkling Sea-
struck, her crew refused TO do duty. 40 there
was a strong Castcrly gale blowing when thi;
dispatch left, it was feared that the cargo, con
sisting of a battery with horses aud forage, to-
gether with the ship, would be a total loss
