ODICAL DROPS FOR FEMALES.

This valuable medicine is now offered to the
American Ladies as the only sure, positive and
cure and regulator of suppression of
nature, from whatever cause. Particular care
should be used to know that Pregnancy is not the
cause, as the Drops would surely produce an effect
entirely contrary to the of nature for which
l will not hold myself responsible. L have in my
possession letters from the most respectable ladies
of this place, recommending it in the highest
terms, and Physicians advising its use when all
other remedies fail. These drops are SO mild and
pleasant that the feeblest take them with per-
feet security, yet powerful in their effects that
they may be safely called never-faing Regula-
tor. have used this medicine for the last twelve
years in my practice, and therefore we'll know its
merits. Do not be imposed upon, but cut out this
advertisement and carry it to your druggist, and
if he has not already got it make him buy it for
you. Sold by all Druggists. Price 81 per bottle.

The Army of the Potomac.

Once more the tocsin of war sounds
along the Rappahannock, and the quiet
which has resigned supreme seems des-
tined again to be broken. Lees army
is on the move, closely watched by
Meade, and our advance has already
come up with the rebel cavalry. Lee is
evidently in a situation where he is
forced to give battle. A victory alone
will save his army'from Generalization,
and the battle will be one for life or
death. If defeated, the rebellion is
practically ended. Meade has the en-
tire confidence of the Government and
his army. Let him be reinforced with
men and munitions as rapidly as pos
slble, and the destruction of the rebel
army is secured. With half the rebel
territory in our hands, Charleston
threatened, Bragg and Johnston fugi-
tives, and the Confederacy rent with
intestine conynlsion, the essential ele.
msnt of final success is the overthrow
of Lees army. To that end, every
energy should be bent Chicago 1ri6-

The opening address was by Hon. VIM.
Warner of Detroit, on the relations Of
higher Literary Institutions to culture

and listened to with much interest by
the large audience of teachers and citi-

way" Let's then passed them, and
when nearly at the bottom OF the hill,
he stopped his horses, turning them
across the road, and waited until Simp-
son and party drove up. Mr.. Simpson
then requested Let's to turn his horses
and allow them to pass, Let's replied,
by asking "who are yeu ?" Without
answering, Crowsll got out of his
wagon, and taking Let's horses by
their heads turned them around into the
road, remarking that he would try and
ind way to get by. At the same time
Simpson got out of the wagon and APP
preached Let's team. Mr.. Let's Or
dered them away from his horses, jump
ing out of his buggy at the same time,
he advanced towards Simpson, and
presenting pistol, he snapped it two
or three times, when Simpson closed
with him, knocking him down and
kicking him two or three times in the
side of the head while he lay there.
They then got into their wagons and
drove home, not suppesing they had
injured him seriously and really not
knowing who he was, leaving him to
the care of his companion, who had not
got out of the buggy during the whole
of the time.
This is the story as told by Simpson,
Crowell and Mrs. Simpson. Campbell
on the other hand, states that be sup
posing they had been attacked by some
fellows with whom Let's had had some
difficulty during the day about SOL
diers' overcoat, he either jumped out of
the buggy or was thrown cut, when he
ran into the woods, returning after the
party had left, and finding John dead,
he dragged him to the side of the
road, when he mado the best Of his way

proceeded to the spot and found the
body as he had left it. But as both
himself and Let's had been drinking
quite freely during the day and eve-
ming it is not supposed that he could
tell much about it. DR.. VIM E. Clarke,
who conducted the post mortem exam
nation, testified that he found contu-
sions on the side and back of the
head and wound on the right temple,
produced by some blunt instrument and
that there was fractures on the skull,
producing extravisation of blood on
the brain producing instant death.
The Jury upon hearing the above tes-
timony returned verdict of "justifi
able homicide" In the death of Mr..
Let's the government loses one of its
most efficient and energetic detectives,
he having during the time he has been
acting as Deputy Provost Marshal re-
turned more deserters than any other
two men in the district.

From Charleston.
What the Chattanooga Rebel says.
Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
NJ An

What he chattanooga Re6eI says.
Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, August is, 1868.
A dispatch received this morning by
the Government, dated 18th, from a
distinguished military officer in Ten
nessee, stating that the Chattanooga
Rebel of the 18th announced that the
bombardment of Charleston began on
the 18th, and the firing from Gilmore's
land batteries on Morris Island, and
from the Monitors, was chiefly directed
against Fort Sumter. The combined
land and naval forces of the Federals
seem to be engaged. .4
The information published in the
Rebel was received at Chattanooga by
telegraph from Charleston, and the
fight was going on when the paper
went to press on Tuesday. The officer
who communicates to the Government
the contents of the Rebel, says the edi-
tor, instead of making any boasts about
the result, or manifesting the least ju-
bilant feeling over the situation of af-
fairs at Charleston, exhibits most posi-.
tive evidence of gloom. The Rebel
states that the Ironsides and all the
Monitors were not only in the action
but that the whole fleet and large
number of transports were inside the
bar during the engagement.
A later dispatch says the lombard
ment of Charleston was renewed on
Saturday morning, in earnest, from
land and sea.
Gen. Gilmore opened from all his
new and from his old works, and Rear
Admiral Dahlgren engaged all the
Monitors.
New YORK, August 1s.-A Fortress
Monroe letter 10 the Herald says 81
am assured that Sumter is in bad
plight. Our heavy and long range
guns are playing havoc on its walls,
and 1t is stated that the side exposed
to our batteries is already preached.

has come to be universally regarded as
one of the most perfect in all of its
arrangements of any in the United
States. The officers, 30 far as we have
had experience, are througout the en-
tire lenght of the road, courteous, gen.

DETROIT ADVERTISER&TR June,
PUBLISHED
DAILY, TRI-WEEKLY AND WEEKLY.


DAILY, TRI-WEEKLY AND WEEKLY.
: The oldest newspaper in Detroit now in its oath
year-the Advertiser having been established in
1929. q
In July last, by the consolidation. of the Daily
Advertiser and Daily Tribune circulation larger
than that ever enjoyed by any paper in Michigan
was attained. Since then corps of editors has
been secured second to none engaged on any
Western paper. Some have been employed for
years on leading Eastern papers, and bring rich
fund of experience to the columns of the Advert
ser Tribune.
Our expenses for telegraphic dispatches are
larger than those any other paperin Detroit and
more than seven times the amount paid by any one
paDer Aear ago. In fact we now publish simulta
neously with them, besides the regular Associated
Press dispatches that are sent to the Philadelphia
Inquirer, Pittsburg Gazette, Cincinnati Gazette st.
Louis Dena0crdt, and Chicago Iribune-the five
leading papers in the cities in which they are pub
lished, and for enterprise not whit behind the
New York journals. Almost daily it occurs that
we obtain news by special dispatch twelve hours in
advance of the Associated Press, of the correct
ness of which statement we refer to the numerous
readers of our Daily. In this city, where both the
daily papers are habitually read by all parties, it
is generally conceded that the dispatches of the
Advertiser Tribune the most reliable and sat
isfactory of any published in Detroit.
We are now sparing no expenses and intend to
spare none to place the Advertiser Tribune in
the first rank as newspaper. Particular attention
is given to State news, and to intelligence from our
soldiers In the army correspondent being main
tanned in every Michigan Regiment.
Politically the Advertiser and Tribune looks to
the salvation of the country by the energetic prose
cution of the war now waged against the accursed
rebellion of the South. On humanitarian grounds
as war measure, and as safeguard for the future
quiet of the nation, it upholds the Presidents
Emancipation Proclamation, and all other war
measures of the Government; while it admits the
propriety of friendly criticism, it holds that d
consistent with loyalty or should be tolerated in
the North any more than in the States engaged in
the rebellion.
As commercial paper we aim to make the Ad-
vertser and Tribune the best in the State and have
employed to conduct this department a man of
large experience and reputation. This will make
the paper particularly acceptable to farmers, as
well us merchants and millers
Onr facilities for printing large edition have
lately been greatly increased by the erection of the
fastest press in use in this city, and circulation
is keeping pace with our capacity of print.
