PRESIDENT LIN coINs TESTIMONIAL.

Anew York correspondent writing under
date of Aug. 1, '64, says: during Mr. Lincoln's
recent visit to the "front,n the prepriety of
issuing whisky rations to the army was dis
cussed with Gen Grant, who favored the
measure. The President remarked with his
usual cogsnt simplicity, that whatever is ben
ehciai to the health of the civilian, will GER
tainly prove advantageous to the health Of
the soldiers, and as nearly every individual
residing in marshy districts throughout the
country can attest to the merits of Roback's Is
Bitters as a preventive Of febIile complaints
by usi ng them in the army the malaria OF
swamps, and fevers Of the camp, may like the
enemy be defed.

THE CAROLINA CAMPAIGN.

The story Of Bragg amounts TO This, TINT BIO
attacked sons part of the Union forces near
Kinston, March g. and after an obstinate fight
drove them three miles back, with loss Of three
gun. and ] 500 prisoners. The Union forces
were msnifestly the advance guard of the small
army that has been pushing cautiously forward
from Newbern toward Goldsborough with
q view to cut the weldon Railroad at
the latter point. Lee, who publishes
Braggs dispatch, mentions thot Hill and Iloke
were both engaged on the Rebel side, 20 that
We know the Rebels had probably concentrated
oil their troops in Eastern Carolina 10 resist
this comparatively unimporiant movenentfrom
Newbcrn, while Schofeld, in front of whom
Hoke recently was posted, is left unopposed.
1t is further noticeable that the Rebels on their
own showing were unable TO pnsh their snc.
cess--our troops holding the ground to Which
after the first break in their line they retreated.
Kinston, near which this action took place,
is twenty miles from Coldsborough, thirty from
Newborn, seventy from Fayetteville, and eighty
from Wilmington. We have not yet any trust
worthy account that any portion OF either Sher-
mans or Schofeld's forces had approached this
place, and it may be the movement on our side
xas little premature. However that is, there
is no reason TO suppose the check viii have any
influence on the campaign. If Bragg chose to
withdraw his forces from Sebofeld's path, the
latter has an unobstructed march, and his
advaace is o Ear more important demonstration,
both in numbers and purpose, than any that can
at present be made from Newbern.
The correspondence between Gen. Sherman
aud Wade Hampton will attract attention.
Hampton's letter is in the usual "fring-tho.
Southern-heart style, but there cen DO no
question that Gen. Sherman Is both justified in
his course by the laws Of war, and that no will
do all he threatens for the protection of his
soldiers. I'd
