cannot Outright them:

EAs,sRN News Public attention is nov

EAePHRN News Public attention is now
mainly directed to Sherman's march through
South Carolina, for information Of which,
however, we are compelled to seek in the
Richmond papers, and they, for military
reasons, are very sparing in their commits.
Sherman not having kept open his commu-
nications, his movements give rise to many
conjecures and speculations, that find their
way int" the press as news. The best in
diralion that his march, 30 far, has
been snrc, ssful, is found in the fact that
;he rebel forces have evacuated both Char.
esi"n AMI Wilmington without a contest
and retired to the interior, in order, it is
supposed. to dispute his progress toward
Richmond
Charleston was evacuated on the night Of
the 17th Of February. after being fired in a
number Of places The Federal troops took
possession Of the city on the 18th, as well
as the forts in the harbor. It is reported
that the fire would destroy three-fonrths Of
the city. but the telegraph is silent as to
the full extent of the damage.
Wilmington was evacuated on the 2lst,
The Federals occupying the town on the 22d.
The Richmond papers admit that Sher'
man has occupied Columbia the capital Of
South Carolina, after brief Struggle
BeaureGard IS reported as having retreaied
toware Charlotte. North Carolina.
Gen. Lee has been appointed Commander
n.Chief of all the Confederate armies and it
is rumored that he has gone South, with
full army corps to meet Sherman.
The abandonment of Charleston and Will
mnSton indicates a new military programme
on the par. Of the Contederates, viz: giving
up the seabosrd entirely and making the
fight beyond the reach of the navy. If this
be correct, it IS not unlikely that Mobile may
be given up when seriously threatened.
The operations in the Carolnas seems TO
have caused renewed activity in the vicinity
Of Richmond, particularly among the Com
tederates, and the last accounts from there
represented battle as likely to take place
at any moment.

Hostetter's Bitters on the Battlefield


Hostetter's Bitters on the Battlefield
1t is satisfactory to know that our field hospitals
no longer unsupplied with this e-saving prepa-
ration. Soldiers who asprivats citizens, had become
acquainted with its properties have in many nstan-
ces made a special request that HosTETTER'S
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERs might be
added to the medical stores Of their regiments, and
their wishes have not been unheeded. AS means
of sustaining wounded men on the battlefield, and
of enabling troops to bear fatguing marches under
blazing sun, it has been strenuousy recommended
by distinguished medical men, and the prospect is
that will eventually supersede all the adulterated
tinctures, liquors and dangerous Tonics that have
heretofore been considered medical staples The fact
that small quantity of the Bitters mixed with water
fom any of the Southern or Southwestern rivers will
prevent it from affecting the bowels or the liver,
should be borne in mind by army physicians soldiers
and all who have occasion to visit those portions Of
our country. The man who uses Hostetter's Bitters
in conformity with the directions may set at defiance
Intermittent Fever and all other diseases generated
by the action Of an unwholesome atmosphere upon
