This is a remedy so universally known to suryrass

that it is useless Here to publish the evidence of its
virtues. Its unriyalled excellence for coughs and
colds, and its tray wonderful cures of pulmonary
disease, have made it known throu ghout the civil
lied nations of the earth Few the mites,
or even families, among them who have not some
personal experience of its effects some living
trophy in their midst of its victory the subtle
and dangerous disorders of the throat aud lungs.
As all know the dreadful fatality OF these disorders
and as they know, too, the effects OF this remedy,
we need not do more than TO assure them that IL has
now all the virtues that it did have when making
the cures which have won so strongly upon the
confidence of mankind

been, spending few days in our City
and has hon ored us with a call. Col. r
enlisted as a private in Co. @, 7th Rcgi
me1ta from sOskaloosa, at the commence
ment of ths war, and has fought his way
up from the'ianks, 70 his present position
We are inclined to- think Col. Rice has
fought IS many battles as any, Col. in the
service from Iowa, and yet he has no sta,
on his shoulder, as he ought long since tc
have had We understand strenuous
effort has been made backed up by the
str ongest recommendations and his own
acknowledged merits to, that end, but liv.
ing in the 4th, and not in the 1st District
the act of simple justice has been delayed
The LIST District, we believe, has one Major
and eight Brigadier Generals The 4th
has ONE Brigadier. While there is no one
of thu lst from whom we would remove
the insignia of merit, we do think it due
both to Col. Rice and the 4th District to
grant him this promotion, which he won by
protracted and distinguished services on so
many. battle fields, during the war, ;tr
