What may seem almost Incredible. is. that many
diseases hitherto considered hopelessy ncurabe are
frequently cured in few days or weeks, and we
cheerfully invite the investigation Of the liberal
minded and scientific TO cures which have no para-
lei at the present day. e...
Our medicine is peculiar; by it the seat Of any
disease is directly reached, and the equilibrium re-
stored
Those who have suffered long from painful and OBJ
stinate diseases; Those who have vainly sought re-
lief from advertised medicines; Those who cannot
be cured by other physicians
Are Invited TO Use Constitution Life
syrup.
During the past FIVE years we have contended with
obstacles and overcome opposition as herculean as
were ever encountered by any refOrmers. o
RAPIDITY OF CURE.
Some say "Your cures are too quick" while 9th
ers doubt their permanence, and thinkthat diseases
only be cured by the 'slow recuperatve process
of Nature"
This is our reply: In health, the body like well
balanced scale, is in a state Of Equilibrium. But
when, from any cause down goes one side Of the
scales have the effects of disease. What is requi
site is to restore the normal balance Of the scale.

The Banks Campaign.

Ii is now pretty well ascertaiue1 that
the Banks expedition in Louisiana was
a cotton speculation in which an agree
meht was entered into by certain par
ties and the rebel leaders. by which the
latter were 10 abandon The counirs and
leave all the cotton behind for our forces
10 carry oif--the rebel leaders 10 receive
a certain sum for the cotton, and then
disband their forces west Of The Missis-
sippi and retire into Mexico. The plan
worked well Until fairly unler way, and
considerable cotton was taken, the reb-
els performing their part Of the agree
ment, which was tacitly understood to
exist. but our officers gave no receipts
for the cotton. taking il as captured
property. This incensed lhe rebels, and
collecting their forces. they attacked
our men. who were carelessly moving
through the country; and the result
was the disastrous termination Of the
campaign, now known as history.
If this be correct. il shows a missra-
condition of affairs. L. appears that
Mr.. Lincoln was made acquainted with
The fact OF the agreement, but did no.
officially sanction, it. lest such an act
should be construed into kind Of re-
cognition Of the Confederacy, but gave
1T his sanction in an outside, NAY. How
far Banks was 10 blame we do not know,
nor whether he was party to the orig
inal contract, and broke faiti. with the
rebels. All these matters will probably
be ventilated by an investigation. Had
the agreement. been carried out in good
faith, there appears TO be but little doub,
that the rebellion would have been enl-
ed west Of the Mississippi. Whoever
is TO blame for this mismanae &c enent
should be held to strict account.

seems that on the els, Blair pushed his
command forward unnecessarily and in
dependenily, causing needless loss. The
rebets saw-ifis blunder, aud resolved 10
profit by it. Blair had rashly exposed
bis men, and then took no measures 10
secure their protection. and suffered his
left to be surprised. The N. Y. TriL-
une's correspondent says:
"Blair held the extreme left, and held
it negligenily. The rebels got upon his
flanks, surprised him. and rolled mp a
large portion of his line without cere-
mony. Il was in consequence Of this
unexpected aud unnecessary disaster
that Gen. Mcpherson met his death. Ri
ding to the front, and amid the disoi der

ting unawares beyond the furthest OF

The Duty of the Hour.

We suppose that ovcry man and woman
in the land knows that the armies of the
Union which nre actively engaged in their
heroic efforts to crush out this Southern re-
bellion. arc greatly in need Of rcinforccmcnis.
Lieut.. Gen. Grant himself has but recently
declared that "if he had no'c but a hundred
thousand fresh men he could. in my days,
do up all he fighting that needs obe done du.
,1ng The ,odr." "This." wrote our WASH
ington correspondent the other day. lis no
shallow hcaray; II is tho authentic dcclar-
alton of the high name given and tho SEN
timcnt is affirmed by every military man
have lately met"
Think Of this, 20 who long for peace !
Think Of it, ye who desire restored Union
Think Of it, bravo young mcn, and all who
arc patriots or lovers OF American liberty !!
And do not only think of it, but take such
aoion as the thought and the circumstances
require. If this generation are worthy OF
the glorious Union which their fathers form
ed and the freedom which their fathers fought
for, let them now, in the moment of the Un-
ions greatest need, in the day Of Freedoms
peril, prove 1t by the course they adopt.
Grant says "but u hundred thousand fresh
men, What is this to tho twenty-five mil.
lions Of the North? To this great populous
Empire State of New York it is less than
twenty thousand men. Had VIC the right
spirit, this city alone ought to put that force
in the field in week.
In fifty days We may have a peace. This
is no 1lppant prophecy; but it is tho assev-
Grafton OF man who. more than any other,
knows the whole military power of this re.
bcllion-who has fought its greatest armies
in Tennessee, in Mississippi, in Georgia and
in virginia-who has confronted its greatest
leaders, assailsd and captured its strongest
positions, and routed on dozen fields its
largest armies. "ln fifty days"-bcforc the
mellow sun Of the coming October passes
away. before tho frosts Of Winter are upon
us, be "can do up all the fighting that needs
to be done during the war''-if we will but
give him the reinforcements which We can
30 easily furnish. Will the country respond ?
