THE BATTLE FOR FREEDOM.

l. Fred. n. Ogden, who commanded
the Militia of7New ,Orleans, on they
memorable 18th of September, has,
sent in his official report, the latter
portion of which we publish: TAI
. l must state that where such nn-
merous offers of aid were rendered a
by citizens, it would be impossible in,
a report Of this kind to make individ-
nal mention, and any omission Of
especial notice. arises from no want
of appreciation on my part.
+ The enemy's loss must have been
very heavy, from the number ef dead
and wounded left by them on the
field. Their chief General IA s.
Badger, fell into our hands severely
wounded. Ny command suffered in
the charge on the l4th,i a loss Of IL
killed and 10 wounded, (several have
since diedy among them some Of
our most = respected ana prominent
young citizens. Thus was the life
blood of our best people poured out
upon the altar Of their country.
Sorrow fills the heart whilst rela-
ting that in the nineteenth century;
an age of boosted civilization, and in
the American Union, whose corner
stone is Freedom, there can be found
injustice 50 great as to require q
sacrifice SO dear. In the signal vic
tory of the 14th Of September, we
must acknowledge with profound
gratitude the hand Of a kind and
merciful God. 80" ~
The opportunity afforded through
the mistaken strategy Of a sagacious
military leader, by which we, were
enabled to strike a blow for freedom,
which, in decisiveness of character,
has scarcely parallel in history,
can surely be ascribed to no human
power.
To that God who gave us the VIC
tory we commit with confidence and
hope the spirits of our immortal
dead; and, strong in the conscious
ness of right, record anew our holy
purpose that Louisiana shall be free.
/, have the honor, Colonel to sub
scribe myself, very respectfully
~, aa.aaao FRED. N. OGDEN,
Major General Commanding.

The Source Of Many Ills

Ifall the ailments, bodily and men
tai, which torment the human family
could be traced to their primary sour
ces, it would probably be found that
three-fourtls of them ori gipated in the
failure Of the stomach and the other
o.gans by which the food is converted
into nutriment and applied to the pur-
poses of life, to perform the tasks al
lotted to them by nature, vigorously
and regularly. This being the case the
vast, importance of medicine which
compels these organs to do their whole
d"ty. thoroughly and efficiently, be-
comes at once apparent. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters may be truly charac
terized as a preparation of this kind,
indeed as the only one which can I've
implicitly relied on as combining the
properties OF a stomachic, an Alternative
and an sperient in, .snch proportions as
to produce simultaneously the desired
effect npon the disordered stomach,
liver and intestines. This conclusion
is warranted by the celebrity and GER
tainty with which the Bitters afford re-
lief in chronic cases of dyspepsia, tor
pidity of the liver and constipation.
The false idea that these complaints
and others that grow out, of them,
could be cured by fierce catha, tics, has
at last, it is hoped, been thoroughly
exploded. The sick, during the last
hundred years have swallowed thou
sands of tons Of mercury, scammony
gamb"ge, croton oil. jalap, SC, and
tens Of thousands of graves have been
prematurely filed thereby. But eve,
since the principle of renovation, al
embodied in Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, was ar1ayed against the principle
of prostration, as represented By mine.
raj salivants and furious ,purgat,ves
the latter has steadily and surely fal
len into deserved contempt. The out
cry against stimulation BY which con
coctors Of depicting drenches hoped t.
give eclat to their disgusting and dan
gerous compounds has only served t.
increase the demand for the WHOLESOME
stimulant, tonic and Alternative whicl
for twenty years triumphed owe
all opposition and is now the mos
popular 10 the Western hemisphere.

A Coop TINE TO DEcLARE..--Gen.
Grant has been formerly put in nom
ination for third term by the dom
inant political party of the State Of
South Carolina. We entertain no
very grave apprehensions Of the cleo
ton OF any man to the office Of Pres
ident' more than two terms in success
sion. 1t never did happen, and we
think it never will. It is not, there
fore, because we are moved by fear ?
ofsuch an event that we. refer to it.
And we are not in the habit Of very
frequently volunteering advice to the
President Of the United States. But.
we cannot help thinking, and We i
throw out the suggestion, that this
nomination by South Carolina affords !,
the president an excellent OCCASION
to decline allowing his name to be,
used at all as a candidate for o third
term. By so doing he would mani
fest that regard and reverence for
Washington and the great and good
men who succeeded him as President.
which is common to the American
people. sdo' Alo R q %
Gen. Grants military fame is
among our national treasures, and
we do not wish togsee it furnished by
the manifestations any inordinate
ambition for mere power and place.
His early definition would eAectual-
ly guard his name against the sus-
picion Of selfish and unworthy mo-
tives, and disposition to disregard
the cherished traditions Of his coun-
try. e'' a''5' ~ He' l'7s #eh =
What we should like to see on the
part Of the President is d disavowal
of any willingness to be a candidate
, again, even if few miserable, self
seeking politicians and Office holders
. do desire to put him in nomination.
A third term means the first step to-
T wards monarchy; and the name Of
any man who stands qout as the rep
9 resentative of rnonarchial ideas in
e this country is destined to become
5 Infamous. =, Gen. Grant cannot de

THE LYCEUM.

S Most W estern towns atsithis season
Or the year find more or less pleasure
and profit in the lyceum. It is an. ex-
scellent school, and zwithal affords very
agreeable evenings. We. have tile w
:ce,lm in. Sioux City, and 10 event Of
the week attracts more attention III tile
way Of amusements than its regular
Saturday evening meeting. The mem.
beers, however, it seems to us. need to
be reminded that the organization is
not altogether for the loosening Of tie
tongue, for the use of words, ever so
freely, without reason, is no particular
accomplishment to be proud of. The
primary object of the lyceum is to de-
velop the mind;'to give it. scope and
power, and at tile same time cultivate
the gift of language so as to be able to
tell readily and ,forcibly what one
knows. To go right, there must he
care in the selection of the subjects for
debate there must be foresight and
application Of reason in determining
the phraseology in which questions are
stated.-Slour- CITY Journal.
In other words, the Journal means
what we have insisted on, viz: that
those who undertake to debate ques-
tions should prepare and bring their
best thoughts and best language to
bear.

CORRESPONDENCE.
THE N.iRROW GAUGE.


EDITOR ADVANCE: Having noticed
in your paper of late, that youare talk
ing quite an interest in the project of Il
narrow gauge railroad from this place
to the coal fields of Iowa, thought you
would be pleased t , hear from others in
regard to the feasibility Of the project.
In any undertaking of this kind it is
always necessary to estimate the cost
us near rs possible. The first thing to
he taken into consideration is the sur
vey 10y competent engineer. 1t is
quite probable that the route from here
to Fort Dodge, Iowa, might be sur
veyed on preliminary line for $500.
We believe that such survey would
demonstrate the entire practicability Of
the project and also that it could be
built at small cost compared with
what has been the cost of railroad
building in this country. We believe
that the road bed can be built ready for
the iron, at 4 cost not exceeding $1,000
per mile. It would be road on which
no costly bridges woald lie required,
and comparatively little trestle work.
The grading would not be likely to ex-
coed 1000 yards per mile, at an expense
say of $500. The ties can he furnished
here for about $1,000 per mile. The
cost Of iron and the laying Of the same
is not all easy matter to compute ut
this time, when the iron and coal in
dustries of the country seem Frustrated.
This is also true of the cost of depot
buildings and the materials which
largely enter into their construction.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.


EDITOR ADVANCE: Your article in
regard to the medical profession of
Hennepin County, and of Minnesota,
and the United States (as the article
complained of is in the constitution Of
every medical society of the United
States), it seems to me is unjust to the
medical profession. DR.. Kimball is Il
member of a medical society, one arti-
Gle of whose constitution. forbids the
advertising complained Of. lie in join
ing that society voluntarily bound him
self 10y that article. Does the + litor of
the ADVANCE consider it manly'' for
him, under these circumstances, to
"hurl the reprimand back and "stand
upon his own merits - The medical
profession consider themselves solemnly
bound by their word; the Journalistic,
according to the ADVANCE, have a diff
ferent code of ethics.
A word further What would be
thought of the minister Of the gospel
who should seek out a reporter and ask
him to- puff" every sermon-funeral
or otherwise-that he preached, every
prayer lie offered, every lecture lie de-
livered- should take q reporter to
the bedside of a sick lady of his con-
gregation to tell the, public how elo-
quently he talked to his dying friend
or if he did not seek such notoriety,
even suffered it, would itnot be consid-
cred in exceedingly bad taste 2? ~

nature, is not second to the clerical in
