& Valuable Work.

There is-and We are glad to see it-s
growing demand among the masses fol
Medical knowledge 1t is legiti
mate demand, and should be met by prop
er works on the subject. Every family
stands in need Of volume that viii serve
as safe and reliable guide, in eases oI
sudden illness, and in all ordinary com
plaints, as well as one that gives plain
rules for the preservation of health
Such a work, we believe, has at length
been published. 1t is a new work, BY
an old and well-known author. We al
lude to a work recently published, enti
tied "Guna'S Nc,c Domestic Physician
or Home Book Of Heahh." The work il
written by DIR. John c. Gum, of Louis
vile, Ky.-the renowned author of the
old work" Gums Domestic Medicine,
which in It's day had the most exten
sive sale of any medical work ever pub
Iished This, as may be supposed, is {
much superior work to the old one, and
we should think that it is destined tC
meet with an extensive sale. 1t is writ
ten in a most beautiful style, yet so sim
pie and plain that child may under
stand it. The work contains an appendi1
on anatomy and physiology, and the law;
of health, which is an important addi
tion. 1t is, without question, one of the
most valuable books of the day, and while
we recommend every family to provide
themselves with some good work of this
kind, we would also recommend them t.
examine this asork before procuring any
other.

Sskirmishing occupied the greater part OF
the dav About 5 o'clock in the after
noon, the enemy attacked. The force OF
his onset was received by the Sixteenth
Army Corps, under Gen. Andrew Jack
son Smith. Partially successful at some
points, the enemy captured the whole OF
a battery, and pressed on. Received at
close quarters, with very deadly dis
charge of artillery and musketry, their Il
nal charge along the line was repulsed +;
the battery was retaken, and the Rebels
were driven from the field. 1t appears,
however, that the 18th Army Corps, OF
which two divisions had been sacrificed
the day before, was able to take no part
in this battle, and that the losses OF the
10Th Army Corps had also been heavy on
the Sth, and that the 10th Army Corps
now, although victorious, suffered heavily
from the desperate fighting of the enemy
So that, upon the whole, Gen. Banks
on the morning of the 10th OF April
found his army in that condition IN when
it seemed to him advisable to decline fur
ther contest with the Rebel force under
Gen. Kirby Smith, and to retreat, lie
fell back from Pleasant Hill to Grand
Ecore. distance of thirty-fyc miles,
The enemy had been SO severely repuIsed
on the evening of the 9th that they seem
to have been unable-or possibly, toI
another reason, unwilling-to pursue the
retiring force of Gen. Banks; and the
march to Grand Ecore was accomplished
without fnolestation.
It is reported that Gen. Steele, wh'
when last heard from was at Camden
arkansas, and whose force was meant tt
have effected junction with the force o
Gen. Banks at Shreveport, Louisiana, wa
within sixty miles of the latter place
The misfortune of Gen. Banks retreat i
that it leaves the enemy at liberty It
turn all his force againts the advance o
Gen. Steele The safety of the latter j
perhaps compromised, and if he is attack
ed and beaten, his defeat will add on
more to the many examples of the i'm
policy of seeking to unite in the face o
the enemy two columns marching from
different points by converging lines.

We regret to learn that the Rev. Thee
1Ieilig has severed his connection with the
several congregations in this neighbor
hood with which he has labored for the
last three years, and designs leaving fora
new field of labor. Mr.. H., has worked
earnestly in the cause of his Divine Mas,
ter; aud being possessed of more than
ordinary degree of talent for his calling
has doubtless been the means Of much
good in his denomination. Though his
congregations were all in the country hC
resided in cur beautiful borough, and ii
is here. in his private walk and conver-
sation. that We know him best. By his
correct, christian department, his many
social qualities, and his ready entering
into every proper enterprise for the pro.
motion of secular and religious good he
won the good will of all our citizens, a:
his departure will assuredly carry with i
their regrets. Mr. ucilig designs settling
in Reiglcsville, and We congratulate tho
citizens Of that place that our loss should
secure to them so good citizen. uC
carries with him our and our citizen:
best wishes for his future prosperity and
happiness.

\ special despatch to the New York,
Tribune says:
"Twenty-fye miles about Grand Ecore,
from the left bank of Red river, the re-
bells opened on the transports Clara Bell
and Rob Roy, firing Il shots into them.
i force Of l 900 mounted infantry-sald
to be the rebel Generals command-came
down in front of the battery and poured
yolleys of muskety into steamers, which
were getting the worst Of it, when small
gunboat opportunely came up and shelied
and silenccd the battery, and compelled
the rebels to fall back. Gen. \. J. Smith S
corps (16th) subsequently arrived near
the scene Of action, having crossed over
from Grand Ecore, marched up the right
bank Of the river, and again crossed to
punish the enemy They captured two
guns and seventeen wounded prisoners
who say positively that the rebel general
was killed by she'll from our boat.
This is another signal victory. The
rebels left 100 of their dead on the field,
slaughtered by the terrific fire of our gun
boats and transports, in their hurried
retreat. Their slightly wounded were
taken off.

THE BEST FAHIL Y NEWSPAPERS
issued from the Country press, as no pains OF
expense will be spared to secure the ablest
writers on general Literature, Education
Correspondence, and every other topic OF the
day.
The want ola newspaper in Pike County
giving to the Government an unqualified sup
port in its efforts to suppress the rebellion
now threatening our National existence, has
long been felt by the friends of the Union.
In no other county in the Commonwealth
has the Peace movement, inaugurated by
Fernando Wood and his party, so many
friends and supporters. In no comfy Is the
Government SO openly assalIed, It's policy SC
misrepresented, and the laws so openly de-
fed
While there are some members OF the
Democratic party in this locality, who have
openly and manfully stood up for, and aided
the Government, the great mass OF that par
ty, and its Milford organ, have been open Ii
their denunciation of the war, and In dis
coura giug our soldiers in the field
Under these circumstances, confidently
relying upon the support Of loyal men, we
have determined to publish The Northern
Eagle, with view of correcting and en-
tightening the public mind as to the true Is
sues involved in the war.
THE Eagle will give the Government
hearty and cheerful support in all its efforts
to save the country, and will have no con
nection with those who are directly or indi
rectly in sympathy with the traitors OF the
South Beyond this The Eagle will know
no party.
