Ayers Sarsaparilla

is compounded fromathe 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
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given it a trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class Of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
lions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry.
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tn.
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphlitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impuriti
of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
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

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
life. The vast importance of these considera-
tons has led US to spend years in perfecting
remedy which is adequate to its cure This
we 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 SdrsapariRa in Alternative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions 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 expels the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of .SarsapaiVa, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure Of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any other which has
ever been available to them

the most brilliant success of the war, and

claimed to have four to five thousand men
with two pieces Of artillery. General Jack
son commanded, with General Whitfield,
of Kansas notoriety, commanding one bril-
gade, Gen. Crosby and Gen. Adams the
others. The whole expedition was most
brilliant success. The railroad has been
completely destroyed for forty miles. 1t
cannot be repaired while the war lasts, and
therefore cannot be used to transport sup
plies to support an army within striking
distance of the Mississippi river. =
The expedition is an important one con-
nected with the war in the South, and re-
fleets great credit upon Colonel Busy and
Colonel Wood for their successful manage
ment. johnston's army, when last heard
from, was in full retreat toward Meridian
His troops were scattered through the
country, swearing they would never bear
arms again.
The proud and naughty State of Missis-
sippi has been humbled, and is now bow
ing under the Stars and Strips, pleading
for mercy. The people everywhere feel
that the Confederacy is a failure that Mis-
sissippi is out of the contest and they are
ready for anything that will relieve them
from the iron rule of the tyrannlcal leaders
at Richmond. Hundreds and thousands
of citizens want to go North, and all are go
ing who can procure transportation for
their families. Many of the shareholders
throughout the country have sacrificed
everything on their plantations and gone
with their negroes to Alabama. They sac
rifice everything but their negroes. They
left in such haste that in many instances
the wearing apparel of the family has been
much off left behind. Stock, crops and
every comfort at home has been sacrificed.
The wife and family are made to suffer all
these priyations for the bare chance Of saw
ing the niger.

iFrom the Alton Telegraph, a0th1
4 terrible smash up occurred on the Chlca-

as reported to rs, are substantially Us follows,
although there may be other versions to the
affair. Between II and u o'clock, an extra
tor. "a very earetnl nan, BY the woy,) "a single
brakeman, and the engineer, was coming
down the grade, When 1t was discovered, thai
notwithstanding the brakes were all down
tight, and steam shut of, the train was mak-
ihg Unprecedented time. Some Hho saw the
the rate Of d mile minute. Near the round
house. the switch vas turned, to permit them
to run into q side track, which fact was
unknown to those running the train. 0u
striking the switch, one car ran off the
truck. and another, aud another, and so on,
until twelve cars Of the train had jumped
from the rails and were running along on the
ties, which continued until little below 9th
street, where the trucks Of one car became
broken, which threw 1t crcsswfse, and had tile
effect to stop the car, when the others then
came pl1ing IN upon them, making one undls-
thrown from the track is the coupling LAX
had parted, thus cutting it loose from the
t1aiu.~ The conductor escaped unhurt, but
the brakeman was caught between two cars,
where he was found with his legs consfdcra-
big bruised. After working for nearly an
hour he WAS taken out and brought down to
the Valley House and cared for
The ruins were left untouched until morn
ing, when they presented scene that beggars
n1 description, for there were. five cars ali
broken to pieces, and their contents were
sttewn around in the widest confusion. T1o
Of the cars were thrown doTn the bank, on
the enst side Of the track, and two were
piled unpn each other on the track white In st
above them were, seven loaded cars thrown
across the track in zig zag course.
There WIS the nights work, and the track
must be cleared for the evening passenger
trail. aud no time was to be lost. lIea we're
sent for up the road as far as Caslinyille, to
come to clear up the wreck, and soon two
hundred men were there, busy at work. ALI
Tat was done was to clear passage way. The
amount # damage may be estimated at from
$4CGO to 81, 600. =

the WAR III VIRGINIA.
Great Battle Near at Hand

Especial Dispatch TO the Chicago Tribunc.]
WA*u1Ss1oS, July 2, 1868.
This evenings RpEel;ca" eont1ins the fol-
lowing:
From the best information at hand, 1t aI'-
pears tbat Lees army is at or near Winches-
ter, or about that point, while our own army
occupy such position that he cannot get
back to Richmond without fighting us at q
disadvantage.
The rebel General Is rather holding his po-
.sition to gather supplies from the crop In the
valley, OF. with the aid Of such reintorcements
as he may have obtained, to give another bat
tie, or series OF battles, to the army OF the
Potomac. Our army is ready to fight hin,
and are anxious, indeed, rather than return
to another campaign in these districts Of Vir-
ginia, which hare been so thoroughly deyas-
tated by war.
We may expect string news from Gen.
'Meade's army soon.
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunal
49,. pnAnELru1A, July q, 1868.
From various Indications, 1t would seem
that the rebel Gen. Lee Intends to await an
attack from the Union army. A battle will
probably take place either at Culpepper or
Eudorsvll1e. There will be little or no delny
on the part of Gen. Meade.
The greatest confidence is felt among all
patriots in Gen. Meade's ability to whip the
enemy in the coming battle, and thus we
shall reach the end Of the rebellion In tie

Assault by Rioters OH \ British Vessel


Among the Incidents of the riots which

board:da small British vessel, from Nassau, n.
P, lying at the Pier below Fulton Ferry, and
made IN attack upon the crew composed Of
negroes. Two OF them were pursued, beaten,
and fled for refuge into the hold, but here was
no safety for them, the ruf6ans supplying
themselves with heavy logs from pile near
By, and hurling them down upon their defense
less victims. Another of the crew was causht at
the stern of the vessel, knocked down and
beaten In q horrible manner, his skull frac-
tured and his arm broken. It Was reported
that he subsequently died. The two poor
fellows In the hold saved their lives but were
badly injured. After the cowardly nliscrean's
had btuteu to their leaders, satisfaction, he
waived them off the vessel, and they followed
his lead 10 brutality elsewhere
