and gives the essential full strength and de-

elements of Dandelion, without the sherry"

1t is known 10 all acquainted with chemis
try, that the essence, or oil, or wha tever
name may be given it, when properly and
scientifically detained from any herb or plant
is far different article from that produced by
putting that plant into water and boiling it
out-permittinE the escape of the most ex-
quist and reliable strength and leaving the
coarse and earthly drugs presipitated or in
solution.
So this preparation combines the exquisite
aroma of the Java Coffee, with the highest
essential excellence of the most choice Dan
delion-yielding the spirit without the gross
err earthly bedy of both; thereby avoiding
the deleterious cffee is of both and becomin g

THIS astonishing preparation turns the
L hair black to its original color, after
having becom gray, and reinstates it in all
its original health lustcr, softness and beau
ty-removes all Dandruf from the Scalp, and
all unpleasant itchings. 1t will also cure
Cutaneous, Eruptions such as Scald-Head,
letter, &C., and hence creates perfectly
healthy condition of the Scalp, by acting as
Stimulsnt and Tonic to the organs sup
plying the coloring matter to tho Hair, com
pletely restoring them to their original vigor
and health-thus preventing all tendency to
become gray.

The immense popularity of this Coffee in

but short time, when the enemy came up
and endeavored TO carry the position by
storm, but we had a splendid range; the
ground in front of ue open, and we drove
them back witt. great slaughter They soon
rallied, however, and came upon Us again, but
were driven back as before
After the second repulse l looked toward
the left and saw that the regiment on our left
(the Sth Kansas) was already some distance
to the rear and the rebels getting over the
breast works | beheld with surprise and
chagrin that the rebels had met with no OBJ
position here at all in their second charge,
but knowing there was line III our rear /
still held on with the hope that the rebels
would be checked by them. On looking to-
wards the right I saw that the regiment 70
the right of Us had also given way, and that
we were almost entirely surrounded. By this
time part of our regiment had also broken
and was few PAGES IN the rear, and the next
moment | was without ~much ceremony re-
quested to march TO the rebel rear. One
officer beside myself, and twenty-five enlisted
men were captured at the same time, the rest
escaped.
That there was great mismanagement some
where during this battle is evident to every
one, but to point where the blame rests may
not be quite so easy. On Saturday our bri-
gade was hurried into the fight entirely un-
supported on either flank, and the result was
that after desperate fighting and heavy losses
we were driven back and then another bri-
gade would be sent in in the same manner,
and thus we were defeated in detail The
verest tyro in military knowledge must see
that such fighting can result in nothing but
disaster ana defeat. On Sunday there ~yss d
space between the right of our division and
the division on our T; ght of about six hum
dred yards; in fact the right regiment of
our division did not know that there were
any troops the right of them at all. 1t was
the same on our left The Sth Kansas
formed the left of our division, and their left
flank was entirely unprotected, conse-
quently when the rebels made their first
charge they met with no opposition at these
places, and the right and lett regiments of the
division were attacked on the TANKS and of
course compelled TO fall back. Had our line
been closed up as ii should have been the
rebels could never have driven US from our
position
1t was with sorrow that we heard Of the
removal of Gen. Rosccrans. The army OF the
Cumberland viii never have another com
mander whom it will so trust, love and re-
spect.
| do not at present see much prospect of
getting out OF this detested place, but | hope
our Government viii soon do something to
release US, at least as soon as the fan cam
paign is over, if 1t does not feel disposed TO
now. 1t cannot be that they intend to let US
stay here all winter
