yHTith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which varish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs ON which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

1t is admissible to plant torpedoes in a river
or harbor, because they drive off blockading
or attacking fleets.
AS Generals Rains and Longstreet differ in
this matter, the inferior in rank should give
way, or, if he prefers it. he may be assigned
to the river defenses, where such things are
clearly admissible.
''The truth is that the torpedoes at
Yorktown were planted by the Confed.

checking rush by my soldiers. This is
shown by the fact that some of my SOL

the evacuation nearer to Yorktown than
the ground where the torpedoes were
encountered on the 4th, and they found
none. They were placed ON roads and
near roads and other most accessible
places for our men to advance where
they would do harm in case Of a rush
upon the retreating Confederates. There
was a stick attached to each torpedo
which protruded above the ground to
show the Confederates where they were,
so they could avoid them in their move

General Beauregard mentions Edward
Ruffin in his report, and locates him
at the Iron battery on Morris island.
Colonel De Saussure, commander of the
Morris island batteries, says in his re-
port that his guns opened at 4:48 after
the signal agreed upon had been given.
Colonel De Saussure's subordinate,
Major Stevens says that the batteries
ON Morris island opened after the signal
shell had been fired from Fort Johnson.
Ruffin served in the Palmetto guard,
which manned two batteries on Morris
island, the Point (Cummings) and the
Iron batteries. Captain Cuthbert of the
Palmettos is very explicit i'll his report.
