TESTIMONIALS,
FROM THE REV. FRED. s. JEWELL,

FROM THE REV. FRED. s. JEWELL,
rHUrEssUH -H1 STATE NORMAL soHooH, ALBANY
NEW york.
This may certify that have been, since
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks Of
catsrrh, marked by q highly infsmed con-
dition Of the lining membrane Of the csvi-
ties Of the head, producing most dis
tressipg species Of headache for days st
| time, wholly incapacitating me for busi-
ness, and during the psroxysms confning
| me to the bed. In some instances the in
fsmmstion has extended to the teeth, oc.
oasioning toothache to the throat, pro-
ducing hoarseness and partial loss Of
voice; and twice it has so affected the
left eye IS to conhne me for month OF
more to darkened room. These attacks
have been accompanied by strong febrile
symptoms; by stoppages Of the head, and
in the first stages by Watery discharges
from the nose and subsequently becoming
acrid and yellow, and towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purulent.
I have tried medicines Of almost every
kind; external applications to the head,
such as csmphor, ginger, hot vinegar
snuffs of some half dozen kinds, and
other cstsrrahai preparations, together
with internal remedies, such as alternatives,
csthartics and emetics. These have pro-
/ duced no change in the occurrence or
character Of the disease, and in most cases,
with little or no temporary relief. had
come at length, to believe the disease to be
practically beyond either cure or material
alleviation.
Under these circumstances l was led,
some Eve months ago, to make q trial of
DR.. Lighthilps treatment. His method at
once approved itself to my judgment, IS
simple, philosophical, and likely to he ef-
feetiVe. Notwithstanding the disadvan-
tsges under which he labored, in dealing
with a disease Of such long standing, sg-
grsVated by nervous debility and dyspep-
sia, and constantly induced by the scci-
dents of my professional labor, l found
the treatment reaching the disease ss it
had never been reached before, and pro-
ducing such modification and allevistiOn
Of its character, ss l had supposed impos-
sible. I chronicle the result thus.
Although l have been situated several
times SO that 1 should formerly have be-
iieved severe attack Of my cstsrrh inev-
liable, have escaped thus far; the symp-
toms Of threatened attack have been very
llgnti anu nave yioiuou W lA0 Aom0uioS
employed by DR.. Lighthill, without the
need Of recourse to the old hot ferments-
tions or emetics; and the discharges from
the head have resumed the original and
natural condition. That have been able
to obtain SO material relief is to me
cause Of gratitude In that alone I am
repaid for whatever the treatment may
have cost me.
/ make this statement unsolicited, as a
means Of acknowledging my obligations
to DR.. Hghthilps method Of treating ca
tsrrh, and with view to aid any who msy
have suffered from that disease in forming
q just opinion Of its merits, and its prob
able utility in their own case.

One Of the best established truths Of
history is that the intellect Of nation is
largely quickened both during and after a
great war. The most fOurishing literary
periods in the history Of Europe, have
been immediately subsequent to or during
the connections of war. Especially is the
inventive genius Of nation quickened.
At no period in the history of the Govern
ment has there been more rapid impetus
given to all departments Of mechanical
industry. The necessities Of the war have
created the necessity for inventions. The
monitors, shells, csnnons and rifles that
have been the product of the war, have
been Of invaluable service.
All the avenues Of trade and business
have felt the stimulating power Of the in
veRtiVe genius Of our people during the
past three years, and when once the or
deal Of civil war is over, we shall be a
nation Of more unbOunded prosperity and
resources than any people on the earth.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

ArrieaI of the 15Otk at WashingtoS-The
TnP-DestiaGtioH, ete-Reinf nforeemeEts to
the Frost
Especial Correspondence of Cleveland Leader.l
WAsHIEGrOE, May Is.
After a three days journey the 15Oth
Regiment arrived in safety last Saturday
evening at 6 P. NJ. The boys we're all well
and in excellent spirits. 1t was supposed
previously that their destination would be
Fredericksburg, but this was an erroneous
rumor.
They have been assigned TO the fortifi.
cations Of Washington, and will occupy
eight forts, with headquarters at Fort
Bunker Hill, all under command Of Col
onel Hayward. rsl
The boys expressed themselves delighted
with the trip, though the Introductory
feast at the Soldiers Rest in Washington
was rather a damper on epicuresn
tastes. The march through Baltimore
drew crowds and the general admiration
Of their soldierly bearing and martial ap-
pesrance found vent II hsttering commen-
ds ion Of their proficiency in drill and
marching Cleveland may well be proud
Of the l50th, for Baltimoresns assert that
ne finer regiment has passed through their
city during the war, and very fsttering
evidence of thsir merit may be deduced
from the fact OF every exertion being made
by General Tyler to retain them in Bslti-
more. They marched at l P. NJ to day to
the quarters assigned them, to the iuspir-
ing tones Of old jacks bugle and the &C
compartment of q drenching shower, as a
prelude TO the duties of the campaign.
The news from the front still continues
to be OF must Ohvoriug nature, ana rem
forcements are pushing forward in num-
bers sufficient TO supply the deficiency of
losses in the recent battles.
Over 10000 have gone forward to. day,
and the final blow to the disorganiEed
remnants of Lees army cannot be long de-
layed. Railroad communication will be
Immediately re.opened with FredericEs-
burg, sffording facilities for the more
| speedy transit Of troops to the front
A large number of 0hioans visited the
regiment while at the depot, and all here
feel native pride in the welfare of the
| 150th, the "Pride Of Cleveland"
All communications for the regiment
should be addressed to Headquarters 15Oth

The Raid OF General sheridan.

From the official report of this raid, we
are led to the belief that it was his inten-
ton to capture Richmond in conjunction
with Butler who was to advance on the
South-side Of Richmond. Sheridan passed
beyond the first line of intrenchments but
was repulsed from the sesond. General
Butler, it is hoped, will take Fort Darling
soon, when there will be a free passage
for our gunboats to the vicinity Of Rich
mOnd. Sheridan is probably on his way
already to cut the Railroad from Rich
mond to GordonsviIla.

Nothing has been more gratifying to the
public than the announcement that Grant
is being reinforced. These are what is yet
needed to bring this struggle to triumph,
ant close. We are informed from reliable
authority that the strength of Lees army
is under estimated and that his stubborn
defiance of Grant is due both to his num-
bers and the strength of his defensive
position.
The Government should not hesitate one
hour to call for a reserve. Let there be
one hundred thousand more men called for
if there be possibility of failure for the
lack Of numbers. 1t will not DO to peril
the cause Of the country at this hour

Recruiting In chicago

The loyal citizens of Chicago have
raised a large sum Of money o support
the families Of those who enlist in the
hundred days service. There have been a
number Of meetings in which certain val.
iAnt orators have relieved themselves of
much OrstOry. The object is to get up a
public interest in the new branch of the
service. We suspect Chicago would fill its
quota more rapidly if its valiant orators
would take the lead in enlisting. stentor
and BOmbastes make very fine soldiers if
they can only be got into the ranks. Tbev
generally prefer the spirit Of brakes
American Flag, or Of Marco BJzzaris, TO
plspting the hsg within the sntrench-
ments Of the enemy. We should
think the great city Of Chicago has ex.
pended OratOFy enough to raise whole
corps Of hundred days men.

aUEBoAT EXPEDITION.

The gunbOst General Sherman left here
on the 9th inst, with Eve pieces of the
Tenth Iniians Battery aboard, under the
command of Captain William A. Taylor,
to cruise down the river. At Gunter's
Landing, seventy-fve miles below, turn
ing an abrupt bend, they came suddenly
upon two companies Of rebel cavalry, and
opened on them with shot and shell. In the
confusion, and while they were undecided
whether to run or depIoy and fight, about
dozen Of them sought safety behind q
chimney. The Captain seeing this, di-
rected the gunners to fire at it. Two
shells went through the chimney, and
bursting simultaneously, not one Of the
number escaped. The remainder scam
pered for the woods and were soon out Of
reach. After taking possession of a con-
siderable amount Of horse equipsge and
other goods that the rebels were engaged
in smuggling across the river, the gun
boat resumed it's voyage. At Whitesburg,
thirty-fve miles farther down, they en-
barked one hundred men Of the 18th uli-
nois, and proceeded to Potoke Creek, where
they burnt a bridge, and destroyed two
large fiat boats. Reaching Decatur with
out any further discoveries, they returned
to Trienns, and after taking on two hun
dred men of the 18Th Wisconsin, made a
Reconnaissance up creek opposite the
mouth of Paint Rock River, destroying
more boats and driving off a small body OF
cavalry. At Boards Bluff, between
Whitesburg and Gunter's Landing, they
we're attacked by guerrillas and short
skirmish ensued, but few shslls scattered
them to the woods. On arriving at Gun
ter's Landing they again shelled the sur
rounding woods, but the enemy had de-
csmped.

JOSEPH M. CLARKE.

From the Rev. John NOtt, D. D., Professor
In Union College, seheneetHdR.
Since l first publicly acknowledged the
great benefit which l received from the
skillful treatment Of DIR. Lighthill, in re-
gard to my hearing, letters ofinquiry have
necessarily poured upon me from all parts
Of the country, from parties desiring to
learn the particulars of my case, and am
indeed surprised at the number Of individ-
usls who are affected similar to the man
ner in which 1 have been, and therefore
it more and more a sacred duty which 1
owe to these sufferers, to direct them to q
| proper and reliable source to obtain the
benefit they 30 much covet, and which SO
many afflicted ones have hitherto sought
in vain, just as l had done previous to sp-
plying to Dr. Lighthill.
had from infancy one very deaf ear,
which always discharged more or less Of
fensive matter, and was the source Of the
greatest annoyance and discomfort to me,
Last year the other ear also became dis
essed, and both ears discharged yellow
matter, very profuse and highly offensive.
My hearing became very much impaired
and the discharge produced the greatest
debility of body and depression Of spirits.
L applied to my family physician and
other practitioners, without deriving snv
benefit and almost despsired Of being re-
storee to health, when providentislly, 1
applied to DR.. Eghthill. Under his treat
ment my ears began to improve at once,
and continued to do so, until, in 8 compar-
atively short time, both ears we're healed,
the discharge removed, and my hearing
restored. At first feared the cure would
not be permanent, or that the stoppage Of
a discharge of so long standing might
prsve detrimental to my general
health, fear which / find a great
may entertain in regard to the removal of
discharge from the ear. My experience,
however, has proved conclusively that my
spprehensiOns were entirely groundless
in both respects, for both ears are as well,
and my hearing as good at present, as the
day 1 left off trestment and the stoppage
of discharge. instead Of proving detrimen-
tai to my health has given the greatest
elasticity and vigor to my body, and q
flow Of spirits not experienced for long
time previous.
wish that the above might serve as q
general answer to the interested, but
should one or the other desire to apply TO
me personally, or by letter, l will cheer
fully satisfy reasonable demands upon my
time.
1 avail myself Of this opportunity Of
again publicly expressing my deeply felt
gratitude to DR.. Lighthill, whom esteem
as gentleman and man Of science, in
whom the highest confidence can be plsc-

This gallant officer was buried on SUM
day evening in New York. His career is
a remarkable illustration Of what good
qualities will do in the army to insure ad
vancement. He was teacher in the Mis-
sion School, and ct the outbreak Of the re-
belliOn he Joined the Gsribsldi Guard as a
private soldier, persuading a number Of
the members Of his class to join with him.
He first distinguished himself for nerve
and tact by quelling a mutiny in that
regiment. When that regiment was dis.
banded, he was promoted by Governor
Morgan to the post Of Lieutenant Colonel
of the Ellsworth Oath N. " Regiment,
and afterwsrd made Colonel Of that famous
body Of men. He served with them in the
principal battles Of the Peninsula. Al
Gettysburg he SO distinguished himself fol
valOr and Judgment that he was made q
Brigadier-General, for his gallsntry and
skill in handling troops. Finally he Wat
killed in the recent battles south Of the
Rapidan. He died lamented by the Ma

The FortlfoatioD. Of R,obnond

The FOrtlfaatiODs of Richmond
are thus described by the Alabama refugee
who writes sensation letters from Balti-
timore to the World:
These fortifcations we're to consist, as 1
was informed by one Of the officers land 8
very reliable gentlensn) eng ged in their
construction, of seventeen detached forts
forming several independent defensive
positions, after the style Of the fortifcs-
tlons constituting the second line Of de-
fense around the city Of Paris. The bar
racks and auxiliary works are so arranged
for lsnking fires from artillery that mu-
tual protection will exist between the
forts. The intervals between the works
are closed by long curtains protected by
bitches twenty-four feet wide and sixteen
feet deep, in most of which are construct
ed rams horns and tenailles. MANY of
the bitches are supplied with water from
the adjacent rivulets. These forts are ali
to be connected by a military road and tel
egrsph, sffording speedy Communication
between them.
These works will be mounted with guns
ef large caliber, and there will be no lack
Of hoWitzers and mortar batteries, protect
ed by bomb-proof cssemstes, out Of reach
Of the Union artillery.
The question may be pertinenty asked,
Where have the rebels obtained such
supply Of ordnance Of this charater 2" l
answer, that they have manufactured
some, but have received more from Europe.
The Northern people would be astonishei
to learn the great amount Of war material
and other necesssries, that, in spite of the
blockade, the rebels are weekly receiving
from the other side Of the Atlantic. On
the 22d ultimo 1 counted, around the depot
Of the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad,
thirty-two mortsrs of French msnufac
ture, which were received at Whining gton
only few days before.

Governor Seymour, who last year sd.
dressed the New ork rioters as his friends,
has undergone wholesome change for the
better. Being advised that troubles might
occur in New York city again, and urged
to have rody Of cavalry from Albany in

dangers of disturbances, and shall take
every measure in my power to avert them. "
The Governor is to be highly commend
ed for this spirited and patriotic deter
mination.

The Death of the Last Caiumny Against
the President.
Before the recent movements Of Grant,
one of the stsnding lamentations of the
COpperhead Press was that the President
would not allow any forward movement to
take place until after the Baltimore Con-
vention. This atrocious cslumny, which
made the President SO wretchedly selfish
as to subordinate the Nations welfare to
his own private ends, has been refuted in
manner that silences the last feeble
OhatterbO1 of the COpperhesds. The Pre-
sident and all his cabinet officers are put
ting forth every effort to accomplish the
great work. Everything the Government
can do, the people may feel assured, will
be done to achieve the destruction of Lees
army. Il.
