Ayers sarsaparilla

Is COMPOUNDED from the most effectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure OF the
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given it a trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputabIy-
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made Of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tons, Pinlples, Blotches and Sores, Fry
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-

Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed. the whole
series of complaints that arise from impuritv
Of the blood Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for Its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all Sec
tons Of the country, in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
him Of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
tons. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considers
tons has led rs to spend years in perfecting a
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer TO the public under the name Of
Ayers SARsAPARILLA, although it is COM
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best Of S1rsspanOG in alternative power. BY
lis aid you may protect yourself from the suffer
irg and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptioas that rot and tester in the
blood purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-
tons, and thus expels the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst out on any
part of it. i
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of Sdrsdpar1lla, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is a very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any other which has
ever been available to them

pulsed; the attacking force Of Longstreet, at
wsuhatchie. .Tern., number ofmules, anr'ghted
by the noise Of battle, dashed into the ranks OF

A letter describing Gen. Buffers re-
cent expedition to Bottoms Bridge.
speaks of the endurance of the negro
troops in this wise: " As result of
this hard marching, on the first day out,
over too hundred had fallen out of the
United States regiments from exhaus
ton. When our forces reached Bot
toms Bridge, and discovered that their
attempted surprise had been exposed,
it is estimated that fully one half of
the white soldiers who commenced the
march had given out, and the roads
back to Williamsburg were lined with
stragglers. But have the authority
of Captain in one of the white regi-
ments for the statement that not a
single colored soldier fell out from i'll
ness, exhaustion, or any other cause,
and when the rolls were called before
the ordered retreat, every single sable
son who had started on the march was
present and answered to his name %
The loyalty of the negro is fully es-
tablished. On the occasion Of the late
escape of the Union officers from the
Richmond dungeon, the fngitives trust
ed implicitly the blacks, and neyer had
their trust betrayed After the first Of
icers had discovered themselves to the
negroes and asked for food, on the
Chickahominy, the negroes organized
into relief squads and searched the
goods for the fugitives, carrying them
food from thear scanty rations, and
helping them IN euery acay IN their

How Union Prisoners Iste.

Before election the eopperheads were in
the habit, among other electioneering lies, of
charging that one reason why the Adninistra-
ton refused to aceede TO the rebels terms Of
exchange, was that President LINCOLN feared
if our Union prisoners were allowed to come
home they would vote against him. That
such charge was baseless it needed no ar
gument to show, but the following record of
vote cast by some of our prisoners at Col
umbia, South Carolina, on election day, will
show how these heroic men would have cast
their influence and votes, had they been free.
This is the record:

GREAT GUNs."-A correspondent writing
from the Army of the Potomac makes re-
markable statement He says: The use OF
some shells recently of extraordinary power
has demonstrated the feasibility of reducing
to ashes either Petersburg or Richmond.
Guns now on their way here will throw shells
into Richmond from our batteries in front of
the 18th Corps, distance of seven miles.
With these guns in position, and projectiles
prepared, our gunners can destroy Richmond
in forty-eight hours. L particular kind of
shell has been prepared, and in this consists
the main feature of the proposed plan. The
proiectile was tested at New Haven, and a
range of seven half miles Obtained"

THE CAUSE.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

God mend his heart who cannot feel
The impulse of holy zeal
And sees not with his sordid eyes,
The beauty of self-sacrifice
Though in the sacred place he stands,
Uplifting consecrated hands,
Unworthy are his lips to tell
Of Jesus martyred miracle.
Not to the swift Nor to the strong,
The battles Of the right belong!
For be who strikes for freedom, wears
The armor Of the captive's prayers;
And nature proffers to his cause
The strength of her eternal laws;
While he whose arm essays to bind,
And herd with common brutes his kind,
Strives evermore at fearful ODDS
With nature and the jealous gods,
And dares the dread recoil which, late
Or soon, their right shall yindicate.

as follows: So2 in Sullivan county, 80 in vi
go, l25 in Putnam, l41 in Clay, 124 in Green
and 1T in Owen county. Mr.. WAsHBURN

Der with Mr.. VOORHEES, name on them were

RAILWAY ACCIDENTs-THEIR CAUSE.-THE
frequency of railroad accidents and the fear
full numbers of killed and wounded attending
them are really appalling. The New York
Herald of the 10th publishes a table giving
dates, names of the railroads, and the num-
Der who have lost their lives or have been
more or less injured by collisions, cars run
ming off the track, locomotive explosions, &C.,
between the 1st of September and the 18th
of November. The totals of 90 accidents are
122 persons killed, and 355 wounded. In
many cases these accidents might have been
avoided by such precautions as the merest
common sense would dictate.
The Eue,aing Post, in an able article on the
subject suggests that these accidents are
largely due to the fact that worn out rails
are allowed to remain on the tracks, as long
as there is no defect visible to the eye, the
desire of Immediate profit inducing railroad
managers to avoid expensive repairs as long
as possible.
There have been very few serious accidents
in our State, and the tracks of our railroads
are generally in good condition, though in
some places they need looking to.
DEATH OF PROFESSOR SILLIMAN.-Professor
BENJAMIN SILLMAN, Sr., the eminent chemist
Of Yale College, died on Thursday of the
oath, at the age Of eighty-fve. Professor
SnL1MAN was born in North StratforG, now
Trumbull, Connecticut, on the 9th of August,
l779. He graduated at Yale College in 1896,
and studied law, but devoted the greater part
Of his time to chemical research, then in it's
infancy in America. In 1902 he was appoint
ed to the Professorship of Chemistry at Yale,
and after two years of preparation, entered
upon his duties He retained the position
until June, 1855, more than fifty years. He
was also the founder and editor of the journal
which bears his name. His career was iden-
tilted with the progress of natural science in
this country, and his private worth was as re-
markable as the extent and depth of his
knowledge. Few men were more beloved or
will be more sincerely regretted.

THE FALSE DEMOCRACY.-The result of the
recent election does not seem to have bene-
fitted the temper of a few of our Democratic
exchanges. Some of them even appear to
be inclined to despair of the Republic. The
Boston Courier and the Detroit Free Press urge
the Canadas to form monarchy, and remind
them of the fate of Mexico. The Press goes
as far as to assert that "the natural tendency
of republics has ever been to decentralization
and decay" Yet this is one of the organs of
the Democracy. No wonder that the people
affixed the seal of their condemnation upon a
party whose representatives could so misrep-
resent the fundamental principle of our Gov
eminent
