lTHESE Powders have proved, after a
Il trial of several years, to be superior
to any preparation of the kind in use
The chief superiority of these Powders
arises from the fact that they are COM
poed of Medicines that have Laxative,
Tonic and Purifying properties. The Lax
alive elects crudities from the stomach and
intestines the Tonic gives strength to
the system of the horse, and the purifying
medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood and lay the foundation for healthy
and vigorous circulation. The use of
them improves the wind, strengthens the
appetite, and gives the horse fine smooth
and glossy skin-improving the appear
ance, vigor and spirit of this noble ami
NAL.
These Powders are not intended, as
most powders are, to bloat the animal, so
as to give him the appearance of being fat
when not really so-hut, to remove the
disease and promote his general health.
These Powders will strengthen the sto-

thousand-one thousand killed, three or four
thousand wounded, and the balance missing.

on this side. You can say that the wound
ed are going from as well as coming here.
The army, from Gen. Johnston down, is said
to be in the highest spirits and confident Of
the issue. tfrrif
All this goes to sustain what we have said
upon the subject. A game Of strategy is
going on, in which Johnston Is acting sim.

tion that the enemy should transfer tho
grand fight as far South as Is consistent
with his own plans and the national do
fences Of the State. Every foot Of rugged
soil the enemy places between himself and
Chattanooga--every daythat he protracts
his march-every pound that he diminishes
his stores Of subsistence-goes to secure the
completeness of his overthrow, if defeated.

ATLANTA, May 18.-Thus far the vigilance
Of General Johnston has foiled every effort

loss from 1900 TO $4,000.

was going on at four o'clock, three miles

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
August 23.-The enemy early yesterday morn
ing disappeared from the front of the 5th and
9th corps. on the Weldon Railroad, and the be-
lief is that the attempt to regain possession Of
this important line Of communication has been
abandoned, and that the enemy are fortifying
their right flank to resist an attack in this di.
rection from our forces. They may, however,
be preparing to make dash on our line in some
other direction.
Occasional firing has been going on along the
centre, and was quite lively during the night.
This morning occasional shots are heard.
The roads continue wet, making travel very
difficult.
About thirty repels were brought in during
the night, principally South Carolinians, most
of whom claim to be deserters. This story,
however, is not believed, as the soldiers from
that State have furnished fewer deserters to
our side than any other in the Confederacy
They are strong, hearty looking men, and seem
to think the end of the struggle is at hand, and
they believe Petersburg to be almost within
our grasp, and will be in our possession at an
early day.

THE SITUATION.

As close readers for the past three or four
days will have perceived, the good cause of
the Union is rapidly closing and tightening its
grasp upon the two strongholds of the rebel
lion-Richmond and Atlanta. The events OF
the past ten days in the vicinity of Richmond
and Petersburg, have demonstrated the in
ability OF the rebels to check the successive
movements of Grant in that quarter. He now
holds position about Dutch Run Gap and
Deep Bottom from which he threatens at any
moment to make a successful dash at Rich
mond, and in front Of which-to prevent him
from so doing-they must keep a considerable
portion Of Lees army; portion so large as
that the balance have not proved large enough
to dislodge our 5th corps from the command Of
the Weldon railroad, south Of Petersburg,
though if not speedily disIodged their COM
mand Of that work must necessitate, sooner or
later, the abandonment of Virginia by the
rebels.
Sheridan and his force are playing an i'm.
portant part in this spirited campaign. We
feel very sure that his movements, one and all,
are not the result of belief in his inability to
hold his own against Early (as heavily REIN
forced as the latter has been) but are q part of
Grants sagacious plan Of the campaign.
Lyrchburg is as vital to the rebel occupancy of
Richmond as Petersburg. Sheridan's presence
anywhere in the Valley or on the line of the
Upper Potomac, so seriously threatens it as
that Lee must confront him with large force
or evacuate Richmond. In dividing his army,
as Grant has compelled him to do that thing,
he has failed in his assaults on us, first at Deep
Run Bottom, next near Winchester, and again
on the Weldon Railroad, with heavy loss on
oil three occasions-loss far greater than ours
In killed and wounded at each point.
He must continue to risk such assaults: the
penalty being the eventual fall of Lynchburg
the fall Of Richmond by coup de main from
the vicinity Of Deep Run Bottom, or the speedy
erection of works by our troops across the
Weldon Railroad that will bid defiance to as
saults from force thrice as strong as his
whole army.
