WINE I! =!

From the earliest ages wine has been known and
esteemed one of the choicest productions of the
earth tits rendered proverbial in Scripture In
the present age good wine is not only valued az
Injury bat there are several kinds which are held
in high estimation by the medical profession, and
form a valuable commodity in every good dispeni
sary In Europe there upwards of fifty differ
ent kinds of wine, obtained from many different
kinds of grapes But it has remained for modern
science and skill to produce luxurious ond de-
lightfu wine from medical plants and roots. The
object has been fully accomplished in an article
called Dr. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From q
formula of roots, plants etc., of the highest medi
cal order, is here produced pure wine, equal, if
not SUPERIOR in flavor to any imported, at the same
time retaining all the virtues of one of the best
medical formulas ever known, 49,.
No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on
account of disagreeabe taste, and none can take it
without being convinced of its great value as q
medical agent. From our own experience We can
vouch for the excellence of this wine; and we trust
that every one, whose health is in the least i'm
paired will read DR.. Halsey's advertisement,
which will be found in our columns to-day, and
avail themselves of the remedy

Dixon ELEcTED.-A dispatch from
Madison, Wis, gives the votes of the
Wisconsin soldiers, which elects Judge
Dixon beyond a peradventure. Out of
1914 votes cast, Judge Dixon has re-
ceived 6,l5s. The army thus left
Cothren out in the cold, and set their
emphatic seal upon Copperheadism.
Col. Larabee, of the oath regiment,

not above reproach, would not allow
his men to vote, because he knew they

Further Particulars of the Engagement at
Charleston.

New YORK, April H.
The Iribune's special account of the
Charleston fight says: "The squadron
arrived off Charleston on the morning
of the 5th, and spent the day in exam.
lining the bars and shoals, the wind be-
ing too high to cross that evening.
The Admiral disclosed his plan of at
tack, which was to sail directly up and
attack the northwest face of Fort Sum
ter, at 500 or 500 yards. About eight
O'Clock Monday morning, signals for a
movement were given, and the vessels
started slowly. In consequence of a
fog, however, they were obliged to
postpone the intended attack till next
day. During the afternoon, one OF
Gen. Fury's brigades worked its way
up Folly Island and established COM
munication with the feet; but no por-
ton of the land force got into the at
tack at all. On the 7th, at AIS p. NJ,
the feet got under way and passed the
Morris Island batteries without being
fired upon, pushing right on toward
Fort Sumter. The New Ironsides
worked badly, and in consequence of
the current was obliged to anchor two
or three times.
Sort Moultrie opened first upon the
Weehawken which was within 500
yards. The Cummings Point battery,
Fort Sumter and Battery Bee immedi-
ately opened, and the action became
general and terrific. The Monitors
still pushed on, replying vigorously,
and passed the northeast face of Fort
Sumter, when they discovered three
lines of distractions holding torpedoes,
&c., one of which exploded, but did
no great damage. Finding it impossi-
BILE to get across the distractions, they
turned about and steamed down the
harbor. The Patapsco's 2Oo.pounder
had become disabled, and the turret of
the Passaic so bent that the vessel was
practically out of use.
"The other boats also passed up the
northeast face of Sumter, till they also
were stopped by the distractions, and
turned back.
"After being under FIRE three quar-.
tiers of an hour, all the Monitors were
ordered back, and at FIVE O'Clock, the
entire fleet was out of range, and the
action ceased. Admiral Dupont inteu-
ded to renew the attack next day, but
on ascertaining that the Keokuk and
Passaic were entirely disabled, and
three others partially so, he concluded
to desist. in which he was sustained by
all the commanders.
"The Monitors were hit from so to
go times each, except the Keokuk,
which received about 80 shot, was pen.
etrated at the water mark no less than
10 times.
"She was kept ahoat till next morn
ing, when she sunk on the bar, her col.
ors flying. All on board were saved.
The Ironsides was hit go times, but not
damaged.
"There are IL large holes in the side
of Fort Sumter, apparently running
through the walls.
"Our entire firing only amounted to
$50 rounds. When our correspondent
left, two of the Monitors had sailed for
Port Royal and others were expected
to follow. Our entire casualties were

The Times special gives the follow

The Judicial Circuits.

Below we give the estimated vote in
six Of the judicial Districts. The 4th
and eth it will be seen, are very close.
Judge Lawrence, however, is certainly
elected in the former, and the proba-
bilities in the latter are strongly in ia.
vor of Mr.. Knight, although it is bare
~ possible that the vote of Sanilao and
st. Clair counties may change the re.
suit. The official canvass will alone
render certain the result. Of the four
Districts not given below, the Demo.
Gratis have certainly carried two, viz
Judge Witherell in this county, and
Mr.. Sutherland in the 10th District, as
Saginaw gives him over 600 majority.
In the 5th, there was no opposition to
the Republican candidate, the Hon. B.
f. Graves. From the eth, we have as
yet received no returns, save simple
dispatch thatthe Republican candidate,
Mr.. Cornwell, was certainly elected.
The result then foots up, two Judges
for the Democrats, seven for the Re
publicans, and one the 9Th doubtful.
