fol beverage b is becoming highly
popular wherever it has been introduced.
1t will be found to contain the purest H.
quors and the most healthful compounds

every respect as superior article, poss-
essing fine flavor and being a healthful
tonic, without the drawbacks of any re-
action, as in the case of most stimulants.
For dyspeptics, it will be found a most
valuable and safe tonic, which can be
drank as beverage, and even the most
delicate lady can use II with the best
results. These bitters are known by the

From Sheridan's Army.
THE BATTLE OF WEDNESDAY.


For several mornings previous tC
Wednesday our army in the valley had
been on the alert, expecting an attack
but apprehensions had died away, and on
Wednesday morning the usual precau
tious had been omitted. 1t was foggy
morning, and the movements of the enc
my were not discovered till they were
close upon our lines. With scarcely a
moments warning the rebels advanced
against Gen. Crooks position in solid
columns, pouring in fierce fire on flank
and front. Only portion of our troops
manned the breastworks when the assault
commenced. 1t was so energetic and
deadly as to break the lines at once
The men were swept away from their
breastworks, into which the enemy came
flooding like sea, and swarming on, f.
ring, yelling, driving all before them, they
entered the encampments in rear Of the
works, where soldiers, scarcely awaken
ed, were actually rising from their blank
cts.
The 10Th corps was equally surprised,
driven from its position, and fought re
treating and partially broken, The
scenery on the field, at this juncture was
fairly appalling. The left of the army
completely turned, half the army of West
ern Virginia flying through the fog; the
18th corps, fighting more or less stub
bornly, falling back and constantly los
ing in stragglers, the entire country about
Middletown and beyond, in rear, popula
ted with a demoralized soldery; the
crack Of rebel musketry, creeping further
up on the left toward Middletown; hur>
rying wagons, ambulances, caissons; the
hiss and explosion Of the enemy's shells
from batteries planted in front of the 10Th
corps; the appearances of defeat, impend-
ing disaster almost everywhere, Gen.
Wright undertook to arrest the current
and by the aid of the 9th corps, partially
succeeded. When the lines had reached
a crest, just to the right and rear of Mid
detown, where a second stand was made,
and when two terrific charges were re-
pulsed, nearly every field officer in the
lst division Of the 9Th corps was wound
ed. The results of the contest were
otherwise gloomy. We had been driven
out of splendid position bad lost heay-
lily in prisoners Lad lost twenty-four
pieces Of artillery, thirty. flour ambulances
including oil the medical wagons and
medical supplies Of the 18th corps, and
several headquarter wagons. We had
yielded more than two miles of battle.

officers we're killed and Disabled, and the

Exchange of Prisoners.

In the Confederate Senate on Monday, Mr.. Max
we'll of Florida, offered the following resolutions in
lation to the exchange OF prisoners
RESOLVED by the Congress of the Confederate States
of AneLcd, That the action OF the Confederate author
ties having in charge the matter of exchange of pris
oners in declining to treat with Gen. B. F. Butler in
relation thereto is cordially approved by Congress, and
the selection of such person, who is justly outawed
by the President of the Confederate States and who
is held in odium not by the people of these States
act of petty spite the part of the Government
of the United States and indication Of it's pur
pose coyerty to embrrras and avoid the further free
exchange of prisoners on any reasonable terms.
Resolved, That the Government of the Confederate
States is and at all times has been, ready to make
fair exchange OF prisoners according to the cartel and
is prepared to resume negotiations to that end When
ever met by commissioner or agent of the United
States not especially obnoxious to the people of these
States.
Resolved That any pretence of claims for the ex-
change of negro soldiers, who were, under laws,
slaves of Confederate citizens prior to the war; alike
unustfed by reason and the law Of nations for these
give to every nation the right to the entire service of
all her people, of whatever class against public enc
N.Y. and the right also to dispose and punish according
to her laws, any such of than may be caught liz
the act of against her, and further if the claim of
such exchange be acquiesced in by tie Confederate
Government it would thereby give sanction to vile
instruction in it's most destructive form.
Resolved, That if there has bsen any scantiness of
provisions for the prisoners in the hands CT the Con
derate authorities it has only been in the pro-
portion with that which has beallen soldiers

cious devastation and destruction Of private proper.

It is clear that il il indispensable to tie tereatS e
the Government and welfare OF the country, that great
many persons between the ages OF eighteen end forty
FIVE liable to military duty, must be allowed to main
at home. 1t is true that there many exempt
ed at yeseut than is necessary No law however can
be made perfect. With few alterations, the present
one in regard to exemptions perfect as it can b.
and works we'll any law of the kind be made
to work. AS We have said before, many abuses have
crept in under its shelter these can be remeded.
The proposed system OF details, as suggested by
some of Congressman, whose anaticsm borders On

are now being put in order to receive another crop
It is certainly important in the highest degree that this
great business should be promptly ard well attended
to, to guard, far can, against failure il the
harvest for the present year.
We trust that Congress will not repeal the present
exemption law. Let them correct if they the evils
caused by it. That is all that is demanded Of them
To repeal the law and place tie matter of details under
