which signifies to choose; it is used, how>

practice. that person laborng under dis
ease is actually dib,litated from the begin
ing-that the disease itself is an evidence
of depressed vitality. Paacticing upon
this proposition, they carefully husband the
strength of,be patient until by appropriate
remedies they remove the cause Of disease
1t isa cardinal principle of the above
system, that no medical treatment should
be adopted which permanently impairs OF
Injuries the the vital powers, that no such
reatr ent 10 any case is necessary trproper
and that in the choice of remedies, they
should prefer those which are safest, ant
calculated to act more nearly in accord

NEAR PETERSBURG, June %, P. MA
large body of rebel cavalry that moved
aroundour left, is now at Ream's station, on
the Petersburg & Weldon RAILROAD.
General Wilson's Sd division of cavalry
passed this place few days ago, en- route
for the Danvi,le & Richmond railroad
The rebels were too slow in their move>
ments to head him of.
Gen. Wilson reached the road destroying
many miles of the track before he retraced
his steps. He met with no opposition un-
til he reached the point from which he
started, ell the track was composed of scrap
iron placed upon wooden supports, the de>
structien of the one was the destruction OF
the olher.
AS the track was torn up it was placed
upon the wooden sleepers and burned until
it was bent aBd useless.
A locomotive and train were surprised
at one station, and before the engine could
move off all were in the hands cf our men
the cars were crowded with refugees from
Petersburg All the cars with the locomo-
tive were destroyed.
Gen. Wilson having completed his woIk

way through the rebels force and conse-

TaF SANITARY FAIR, THIRD DAY.-Yes'
.erday was the third day of the Fair, and
the attendance especially from abroad, was
very good. The Fair isno longer an ex>
periment, but grand. fixed fact, and
magnificent success. There appears to be
hut one opinion-that is that it is the
equal. not in size perhaps, but in good taste
and skillful management, of any that have
been he'd in the west. The managers
have given an incontrovertible proof OF
their ability to successfully conduct enter
prses of any magnitude. All concerned
in getting it up and conducting it deserve
the thanks of those who visit this display
of enterprise and art. As many from abroad
have already attended the Fair, we may
exuect a large delegation hereafter daily as
thew will bear testimony to it's high char
acter and recommend their friends to never
lose such an opportunity Of doing good and
seeing what tlsy may never have chance
to sec again.
The receipts up to yesterday morning
amounted to over four thousand dollars
The donations of money already exceed
eight thousand dollars, thus making over
twelve thousand dollars in the Treasury at
this time.
Many new additions have already been,
and are constantly being made. "Rebec
cas- Well" in The ladies' bazaar, is a de
lightful place, and carried out in good taste
In Floral Hall many new arrangements
have been completed. The 'bower ofrsst"
has been fixed up in the highest style OF
art. and Capt j. III. Elliot has made some
improvements to the French garden.
The department of fine arts and curiosi>
ties continues to be favorite resort, and
exhibits some new articles of interest,"
The ''treble picture" takes the eye of all.
While standing to the left of the picture
we see Andrew Jackson, from middle
point Washington, and on the right Benja>
min Franklin. The small gunboat captured
by Col. Lockwood, which was used by the
Confederates in trading with the Federals
on the Rappahannock, is quite a curiosity
and should be seen by everybody.
The train on the Hemp6eld Railroad was
crowded to its utmost capacity yesterday
morning. A choice selection of flowers al.
so came down on the train.
An evergr green chair Clearing the inscrp>
tion Gen. Grant, Of large size and beau
tfully ornamented with flowers, was receiv-
ed from Moundsyille yesterday, and placed
