Ayers Sarsaparilla

is compounded from the most effectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure of the
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
gany, other remedy yet devised, is known by all
4 who have given it trial That it does com
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
aproven by the great multitude of publicly
; known, and remarkable cures it has made Of
the following diseases : Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, scald Head, Coughs from tu-
bercplous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
. Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of individual
eases may be found inr AYERS iAMERIcAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
, Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tions Of keiconntry. in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
,Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more. subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
tions Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration Of human
lie, The vast imporfahee of these. considera-
tons has led US to spend years in perfecting q
J remedy which is adequate to its cure This
VIC now offer to the public under the name of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it, is COM
posed of Ingredients, some Of which exceed the
best of SarsapariHa in Alternative power. BY
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
/ ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptiohs that rot and tester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
, virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-
tons, and thus cxpels the distempers which
lurk within the system or burst out on any
part of it, tFfED
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds Of SarSuparsla, that promised
,niGb and did nothing but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
haYc, ,locn proven by abundant trial, and there
remains soqucstion of its Surprising excellence
for the cure Of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is a very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any othct which has
ever been available to them.

The Words Of n Patriot.

Gerrit Smith closed recent speech in
the following noble words, which are ftto
be adopted in the creed Of all true pat
riots:
"My hearers, we will ell stand by the
GoVernment-Will we not? Although
some Of us are Democrats and some Re-
publicsns and some Aboliionists, zoe lOiH
neUsrtheIsss, lock hands as AmeTieans-lOiH
zoe not? We will, all Of US, notwithstand-
ing our party divisions and party interests,
generously and patriotically band our
selves together to crush this causeless and
accursed rebellion-will we not? Would
that we might this night feel more deeply
than ever that it is not by the rebels that
we can be conquered, but only by ourselves.
Nothing is truer than that the life of the
rebellion is in disunion at the North
Nothing is truer than it would find its
death in Union at the North.
Ere taking my seat let me remind you
Of our duty to stand by our army-by the
brave men who have gone out from among
as to suffer every hardship and to face eY-
cry peril in the high and holy work Of sup
pressing the most nefarious of all conspir-
scies. But the way to stand by them is TO
stand by the Government they serve. To
desert the Government is to desert them.
Our soldiers bid US stand by the Govern
ment They are afflicted that so many of
us do not They are indignant at the di-
visions by which we encourage the foe,
and make him abler to drive back and
slaughter our friends. Such heartlessness
toward themselves as well as towards the
country is very unlike that reward of sym
pathy, gratitude and love on which they
counted when they went forth to fight her
battles Our slain soldiers, could they
speak, would bid US stand by the Govern
ment. Our tens Of thousands Of broken
families, weeping over those who went to
the army never more to return from it bid
US stand by the Government. The enlight-
ened friends Of freedom and righteousness
the earth over, bid US stand by the Govern
ment. And, loud above all, comes down
the voice out Of Heaven Stand by the
Government! Stand by the Govern
mentl ,"

Negro Rebs., Ca-oIr,D D,.,...


The following is dispatch to the New
Me hes.r from Falmouth to night that
an otheiRi report has been made to head
quarters Of the discovery of negro cavalry
piekets on the south bank of the Rappa-
hammock, below fredericksburg. On the
TN inst, a corporal of the Second United
States Cavalry reported to Lieutenant
Thompson that he had discovered negroes
doing picket duty on the opposite side of
the river. He took the Lieutenants glass,
went to his post examined again, and
again made the same report. Lieutenant
thompson, in company with Lieutenant
Noyes Of the same regiment, then went to
the spot, and passing over a corduroy rood
through a marsh to the edge of the river,
plainly ssw, with the naked eye, nsgos
cavalry men, to the number Of fifty, with
belts and accoutrements; apparently doing
picket duty half and half with white col.
diers, Who seemed to be regularly distrj'o-
uted with them. The officers were wi. hin
one hundred yards of them, and onI-v nsa5

certain. The negroes were regularly sta-
toned on post, the same as the whites

Polish scyrhes and ounker Guns.

In connection with the Polish insurrec-
ton the following curious fact is stated in
the correspondence of the London Star:
"The scythes, which play so important
a part in the hands of the insurgents, ap-
pear to be formidable weapons They may
be described as sort Of huge edouble-edged
sabre. The Cossacks can do nothing against
a band Of insurgents whose front bristles
with line Of these truly murderous i'm
plements. Your readers may have read
in the kilograms that the Russians have
taken several Wc5den cannon from the in
surgents The value Of this statement
may be gathered from the following fact
1t is well known that in the Hungarian
war General BEN, finding it impossible to
get metal artillery, invented species Of
iOOoden gun lOhieh requires no great art to
manufacture The guns were fixed usually
on any ordinary vehicle strong enough TO
carry them. They cannot be fred more than
fUe or sir times, and after being used are
thrOa0n asOGy as lrOTthless. The Polish in
surgents have provided themselves W Al
a number Of guns of this sort. ThT 90 n

What more pretentiOus means will moi

York propose to accomplish. Nickel cents
are their stock in trade and their financial
stock also, whose rise and fall they
watch with the interest Of s veteran Wall
street broker. Having discovered, to their
cost, that nickels are being boarded, they
have combined to withdraw them from
their hiding places by deztrously and
with apparent innocence so manipulating
their brOOms SO as to spatter bountiful

a mseang was held in the United Pres.
byterian church in NOrthReld, Summit
county, an Monday evening, the 9Th instant,
for the purpose Of offering special prayer
to Almighty God in behalf Of our suffering
country, and also to express appreciation
of the act of the President in prOclaiming
liberty to the slaves Of the rebels.
Members of different churches were pres
ent and participated in the exercises
After sn hour and half spent in deyo-
tional exercises, in which Rev. J. W. Jeque
presided, the following resolutions were
adopted by a unanimous vote;
ResoEUed, That we repudiate the idea that
sin ceases to be sin when, by long habit, it
becomes interviewer with the physical and
moral constitution of the individual.
ResolVsd, That what is sin in the indi-
vidusl, does not cease to be sin when it
becomes the act of an organized assemblsge
of individuals, or when it becomes inter-
woven with the fundamental law of such
organization.
ResOEUsd, That the only divinely appoint
ed way to escape from the consequences of
sin Is by repentance.
ResoEUsd, That the only correct evidence
Of repentance is the abandonment Of the
sin Tepented of.
ResoIUed, Therefore, That in the opinion of
this meeting, our only hope Of deliverance
from our present troubles is in thorough
national repentance, and a speedy aban-
donment Of our national sins, among which
we recognize as chief, the sin Of Oppres-
sing our colored brethren.
ResoIVsd, That we hereby endorse the late
act of our Chief Magistrate by which he
has made some three millions of slaves free
in SO far as that act can be construed into
an act Of national repentance.
ResolVsd That above all, and notwith
standing many things yet remaining tC
damp our hopes, we render thanks to Al
mighty God for what he has already done
towards the emancipation of the colOred
race.
ResolUed. That we will stand by our Gov.
ernment and support her to the last in her
struggle for existence, believing thatif she
fall the cause of liberty throughout the
world will fall with her.

Important from Hunters Department
At length the public may look for stir
ring news from the Department of the
South. General Hunter has issued his or
der preliminary to the commencement of
an active campaign. He exhorts all his
officers and men to do their duty and stim-
ulates them by liberal offers of promotion
and distinction. With equal justice he
declares that officers who desert their posts
or their men, or in any way disgrace their
commissions, shall be punished to the ex-
tent Of military law. His eloquent order
will nerve his soldiers to deeds of heroic
valOr. Appealing alike to officers and
men, he says: "shOuld private soldiers
distinguish themselves, while officers be-
come liable to censure, it would be treason
to the country not to compel change of
places" If this rule had prevailed through
out the army, from the beginning of the
war, we should have had more efficient
generalship.
General Hunter has drafted all able
bodied negroes except those in Feder-
al employ, to do garrison duty. This will
at once make them useful and available
and release an equal number Of disciplined
soldiers for the field. Look out for thun-
der from the Southern sky.
