Nothing that is not wholesome genial,
and restorative in its nature ente.s into
.the composition of HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS. This popular pte2sraiinn
contains no mineral Of any kind,n deadly
botanical element; no fiery e~xcitani 5ut
I'll is a combination of the extracts of rare
balsanic herbs and plants with The purest
and mildesl Of ali diffusive slimulants.
Its well 10 be forearmed against disease
and, so Tar as the human system can be
projected by human means against mala-
es e~ngendered by an unwholesome at
mosphere, impure water and other external
causes, Hostetter's Billers may be relied
on-as a safeguard.
Is districts infested with Fever and Ague,
i, has been foo nd infallible as a preventive
and irresistible as a remedy and thousands
who resort 10 il nDder apprehension Of an
attack, escape The scourge and thousands
who neglect TO avail themselves of It's pro-
iective qualities iE advance, are cured by
a very brief course of this marvellous medi-
cine. Fever and Agne patients, after be-
ing piled with quinire for months in vain,
unii fairly saturated with that dangerous
alt~ioid, are moi ~unfrequeniIy restored to
tea,.n within a few days by the use Of
Ho-ieiier's Biiters.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigoretej
and the appetite restored by this agreeable
Tonic. and hence il works wonders in ca
80 of Dyspepsia and in less confirmed
forms OF Indigestion. Acting as a gentle
and painless apperient, as well as upon
tie liver, it also invariably relieves the
Constipation s~uperinduced by irregular
sclsou 0 The digesrives and secreIive or
gans.-
Persons Of feeble habit. liable TO Nervous
AhacEs. Louness of Spirits aud Fits of I'm
snor, find prompt and permanent relief
from the Bit,eIs. The Testimony on this
point IS most conclusive, and from both
sexes.
The agony Of Bilious Collie is immedi-
+teiy assuaged by a single dose of the
erimulant and by occasionally resoring TO
IL, the return Of The complaint may be pre-
vented.
As a General Tonic, Hostetter's Bitiers
produce effects which must be experienced
or Witnessed before they can be fully ap-
preciated. In cases of Constitutional Weak
ness. and Premature Decay and Debility
and Decrepitude arising from Old Age, it
exercises the electric influence. In the
convalesceni stages of all diseases il oper-
ales as a delightful invigorant. When the
powers of nature are relaxed, it operates TO
re enforce and re-establ,sh them.
Last, bat not least, il is the The Only

: ally, and, il may be truly added, deserv-
ediy p~opular with the intelligent portion OF

The Times Washington despatch says;
On Monday the "a corps moved To posi-
ton half way between the Norfolk and Pc
tersburg and Petersburg and Weldon rail-
roads.
The enemy was found In force two miles
this side OF the latter road. Lively Skim
ishing ensued. but the enemy position was
found to he strong and our advance fell back
to the main body.
On Wednesday the army was put in line
of battle ready for action.
The Worlds dispatch SAYS Heavy firing
was heard at City Point Thursday up 70
noon in the direction of Petersburg and also
towards Fort Darling. Il IS reported that
our army is gradually moving round towards
the left. The grandest operation Of the
war is in progress.
The steeples and towers Of churches in
Petersburg have been shot away.
Assistant Secretary of War Dana has just
arrived here and says Our entire loss since
crossing the James river is not over 10000
The rebel loss is propOrti0nally as great.
The IlT5iuls'S correspondent writing from
Gen. Buffers headquarters June p SAYS :
Gen. Foster has moved north of the james
river and taken a position within nine miles
Of Richmond and intrcnched himself This
movement puzzles the rebels greatly.
The Tribune correspondent writing from
from near Petersburg, June 22d. SAYS Ii Is
ascertained that Lee has disposed of has
troops that garrison Richmond and Peters
Duryea's slender force between the two cities;
mas sent nine briga Is u operate against
Hunter, and has guarded his still unbr1kcn
lines Of railroad with a large force.
The Horalds correspondent saws Gen.
Foster 5 operations are perilous and import
ant. He l. expected to do the rebels much
| damage. The guuboats are on his left.

prisoners. This occurred about 4. NJ, and
artillery firing was kept up for an hour,
when all became quiet at that point.
About the same time battery opened IN
front of the hospital on the left of the 9th
Corps, which the rebels seemed DESTROYS oil
cleaning out; but they were deferred by our
guns before any damage resulted. Picket
firing is still kept up along the entire line,
and in almost every hospital there are few
victims of this species of warfare. 1t is al
most impossible for change to be made, IN
the position of the lines, without some loss
from the enemy's sharpshooters and the
lines have been moved always after dark on
that account.
The engagement between the 9th Corps and
the enemy for the possession of the railroad
Wednesday, was quite severe, particularly
in front OF the 81 Division, commanded by
Gen. Wheaton. Only short distance Of
railroad had been destroyed, when the party
were attacked by heavy force Of the enemy
under Gen. Anderson, supported by Wilc1x's
division. Capt Beatty Of the Sd Vt. was
IN charge of the party that reached the road
and be fell back slowly while the skirmishing
line held the enemy in check but a body of
the enemy m de flank movement, expect
ing to turn the left flank Of our line Of battle.
They, however, did not progress Tar enough.
although they succeeded in taking large
number of skirmishers prisoners, principally
of the 4th and llth Vt. Regiments. The
enemy afterwards advanced and attempted to
break our line at several points, but were
met with such heavy fire from our forces
that they We're driven back every tine with
heavy loss. They finally at night gave up
the effort and retreated across the railroad
bank where they took mp an advantageous po-
sition.
Our loss was very light in killed and
wounded. while that of the enemy it it i
supposed was more than double ours. We
lost quite a number OF prisoners, but the
| figures cannot az yet be correctly given.
The railroad from City Point TO Peters
burg is being placed in order. and engines
and cars are already procured TO put on it "a,
soon as it Is in running condition.
Supplies are received at the front regular
". and the troops lack nothing in tins re
spect, but they suffer somewhat from search
" of water.

our men from two lines OF breastworks, cap

of artillery and eight stands Of colors.
The Enquirer saws: Nothing Is known of
