On THE BORDERS OF SPHAKIA.

In picturesque little valley, surrounded
by hills crested with ruined strongholds,
stood quaint mill, so old that even tradi-
fion had forgotten when or by whom it was
built. The mangled hillsides whence its
stones had been quarried had rounded again
into slopes, and on them grew gigantic
piane-trees (mis-named sycamores in Ameri-
ca), whose white, bony branches and trunks,
bare to the earth, seemed mammoth skeie-
tons of a buried past.
The walls and roof of the mill were green
with the lichens and parasites of centuries.
The mill might have ground flour for st.

Of course the attack began at once,
coming from front, flank, and rear.
There were two small redoubts, with
slight parapets and bitches, one on each
side of the deep railroadcut. These
redoubts had been located by Col. Poe,
United States Engineers, at the time of
Our advance on Kencsaw, the previ-
Gus June. Each redoubt overlooked
the storehouses close by the railroad,
and each could aid the other defen-
sively by catching in flank the attack
ing force of the other Our troops
at first endeavored to hold some
ground outside the redoubts, but were
soon driven inside, when the enemy
made repeated assaults, but were
always driven back. About II a. m.
Col. Redfeld, of the ,39th Iowa, was
killed, and Col. Rowett was wounded,
but never ceased to fight and encourage
his men. Col. Tourtellotte was shot
through the hips, but continued to COM
mand. Gen. Corse was, at l p. m., shot
across the face, the ball cutting his ear,
which stunned him, but he continued to
encourage his men and to give orders.
The enemy, about 1:30 p. m, made
last and desperate effort TO carry one of
the redoubts, but was badly cut to pieces
by the artillery and infantry fire from
the other, when he began to draw Oft,
leaving his dead and wounded on the
ground.
Before finally withdrawing, Gen.
French converged a heavy fire of
his cannon on the blockhouse at
Allatoona Creek, about two miles from
the depot, set it on fire, and captured
its garrison, consisting Of four officers
and 50 men. BY 4 p. m. he was in
full retreat south, on the Dallas road,
and got by before the head of Gen.
Cox's column had reached it; still,
several ambulances and stragglers were
picked up by this command on that road.
Gen. Corse reported 231 rebels dead,
All prisoners, three regimental colors,
and 500 muskets captured.
Among the prisoners was Brighten.
Young, who thought that French's
aggregate loss would reach 1000. Col.
Tourtellotte says that for days after
Gen. Corse had returned to Rome, his
men found and buried at least hun
dred more dead rebels, who had doubt
less been wounded, and died in the
woods near Allatoona. | know that
when | reached Allatoona, on the 9th, |
saw good many dead men, which had
been collected for burial.

OCTOBER WEATHER.
Rheumatism Just Now to
be Feared.
People Catch Cold and Suffer with the
Prevalent Malady.
Mr.. s. e. Chases Experience. The
Very Simple Remedy
He Used

Rheumatism is growing more and more
prevalent here. And neuralgia adds its tor
lures to the disease that is making life bur-
den to many in Montpelier.
The cold, wet weather, the carelessness
about getting the feet wet or perhaps some
indiscretion in the diet, result in the agonizing
rheumatism. One part of the system is at
tackled after another, and sometimes the vital
organs yield to it, so that the increased NOR
tally rate of October is chiefly due to this di-
sease and its complications.
The method of treatment are as different
and widely varying as there are physicians, but
nothing has yet been discovered that begins to
equal the simple remedy used by s. E. Chase,
a well-known G. A. r. man of Waltham,
Mass. He is an old soldier, nearly seventy
years of age, and was all run down with
chronic rheumatism, liver complaint and heart
disease. In fact, he got a pension for these
troubles. He was so low that he thought he
could not live long. But he used vegetable
extract, called Paine's Celery Compound,
which, as he puts it did wonders for me, and
made me feel like a new man."
Mr.. Chase is doing all he can to spread the
good news of this compounds wonderful
efficacy in rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous
diseases. He already has ten of his friends
using it, and says he can cure anyone. When
such a simple preparation as this is known,
which appears to be so reliable, it is foolish
for any one to suffer long.

WORDS OF HOPE FOR WEAK MEN.-Men
with weakened powers and exhausted vigor
have been taught to believe that such cases
are hopeless. They lose all ambition and
give themselves up to despair. Their con-
dition may be the result of habits, or indis-
cretions, or it may be to a certain extent in
herited, but there is compensation in
Nature and these ills are durable. Seek DR..
Greene, 81 Temple Place, Be ston, Mass. or
write him fully. He has found the glorious
remedies that redeem manhood and multi.
tudes Of men testify to the wonderful re-
Operative powers of the treatment of this
great specialist. One of his wonderful dis
coveries is the world-famed Nervura. The
advice of your local doctor you have found
valueless, but the worlds foremost physician
tells you he can cure you and restore you to
usefulness. He will give you advice abso-
lutely free, and your case will be treated
with inviolable confidence. Many men
have been victims OF costly experiments
and are skeptical, but the broad statements
of this eminent physician can be trusted.
Think what restored vitality would mean to
you and hesitate no longer. Write to DR..
Greene and be cured.
