A CASE OF SPINAL DISEASE CURED
This 10 to certify that went to see Mrs. Manches-
ter last March with daughter Of mine troubled with
spinal disease. for which she had been doetored for
I've years, and BY . number Of physicians of all
kinds; and she has had twenty-one applications OF
electricity applied but all to effect; but she
tinually grew worse. came to the conclusion, as
the last resort. to 60 and Mrs. Manchester and
did and to my great surprise she told the first
suse OF the disease, and how she had been from time
to time, which encouraged me TO try her medicines.
Ibid so. and now my daughter is able to be around
the house all Of the time She also rides ten III
teen miles without any trouble inconyenieneea and
think in short time she will be restored TO perfect
health. Since my daughter has been doctcring.
have heard ofa great many cases that Mrs. Manchss
ter has cured. think If any person deserves pat
ronsge 1t Is the who tries to preserve the health
Of the sick and suffering; and know that she usss
every effort which lies in her power TO benefit her
patients. SARAH l. KNIGHTS,

REFoHE RICHMOND.

BEFORE RICHMOND.
1t is not improbable that the next severe
hchtlpe between Grant and Ice may be im-
1ncdiately before the intrenchments OF Rich
mond. Were Lee TO halt upon the South
Anna md permit Grunt to make another
euch stride forward ~ the Last, there
would be danger that Grant woula reach the
rebel capital before its dcfendcrs- Moreover
the inability Of Lee 10 attack and defeat
Grants army In the field having been demon

him than to exchange the open field Tor hia

enable Lee to concentrate his forces, now In
Richmond under Bragg, with his main army.
For Lee to bring up III hia available forces,
including those under Beauregard ut Petsfs-
burg, ard Bteckinrdge at Lynchhnrg,
would be attended with its risks as well as
its advantages 1t would not only enable him
10 assume the offensive, hut compel him 10
do SO 1t the risk Of being cat of from all
lines Of 1otrcat, reinforcement and supplies-
For him to mass all the rebel troops In Vir~

fonsive, while his communications were
being cut of, and his intrenchments invested

In withdrawing to Richmond, thcreiofe,
Lee may bt expected to repeat with Gtnnt the
strategy which was 80 successful with McClel-
Ian. He will call up Beauregard from Pc
te1sburg, Breckenridge from Lynchburg, and
all the available troops from North Carolfna,
and indeed from the remainder Of the Con-
1oacracy, as he called jackson from the She
nandoah for the seven days battle with
Mcclellan, nnd he will Immediately assall
Grant with the desperate fury Of gambler
playing his last card.
Grant Will doubtless cndcavor, as at Vlcks-
burg, to prevent this concentration, If he
can, by getting between Lee and his rein.
forccments, By attacking his rntreating army
In piccemeal, by prccipitatog general en-
cuccment in the open field before Lee Shall
have perfected his concentration or failing
In all these, by placing his army around Rich
.uond in the best position for defense, per
fecttpg his int1enchments and preparing to
resist the assaults OF Lees army, and to con-
vert the struggle into siege. Thus while
Grant will have practically the aggressive, 1t
ae probable that ehould Lee retire behind tho
1utrcnchmcnts OF Richmond. 1t would be for
tho purpose Of concentrating all his available
force and assuming strategically the ofen-
sivc, as he did at Seven Pines and Gaiues'
Mill.
While there Is ground for patriotic anxiety
in such prospect, there is none for dlscour-
agcment. The mette Of our army will be
severely testcd-perhnps as severely as In
the battle Of the Wilderness, conflict which
will rank with the most stupendous battles
of modem times. But We do not believe
that our army will be strung ont as on the

that Minister Cornin is at HaSana, on his

Inst August.
The House. by decisive vote Of 121 yeas
to Is nays, disagreed to the report Of the
Conference Committee on the Army Appro.

Tho bill as reported from the Committee
made distinction between co10red troops
heretofore enlisted who had been promised
the came pay aB white mep, under the author

the same pay AB White tr0Ops. Nhen tne
question was last considered Thal. Stevens

LADIES' DRESS MOVEMENT.

Threatening to be yet greater md geeater),
which is exhausting Our precious metals, and

But the main design we regard to be patriot
