School Girl.
From The Huron Tribune, Bad Are, Mich

A gifted Michigan poetess, whose literary
work has given pleasure to thousands, has
Just made true and detailed statement of
one of the sorrows of her life and the strange
manner of its disappearance. The author is
Mrs. Annie III. Msgee, of Port Austin, Mich,
and her remarkable statement is given in her
own words as follows:
My daughter, Jean Magee, was fourteen
years of age last August. She was always a
delicate child, had stomach trouble, nervous
debility and general weakness. From the age
Of eight years she had been subject to distress
after eating and frequent sick headaches She
had to be taken. out OF school and kept from
all study for nearly five years.
She was so extremely nervous that life
seemed at times almost unbearable. She
would say: 'Oh! mamma if could only
Sleep but az soon as she fell into dOze
some frightful dream would awaken her, so
that sleep was almost more dreaded than the
want of it. at the age of ten years she was
taken to DR.. X. C. Flower. OF Boston, who
said she had spinal tronble and gave her seven
months treatment. The spinal trouble was
cured, but the nervousness and stomach
trouble returned with such effect as to
render the child very miserable. The bad
dreams came again.
Having seen DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People advertised in the Huron Tribune
we tried them, with the happy result of a
permanent cure. She frs. began taking these
pills about two and a hall years ago. The

first box had such good effect that we con-
tinfied then, and bought by the half-dozen
boxes until about two dozen In all had been
taken. ,
Friends began to say she would have to
take DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
all her life, but am happy to say they have
helped her to become healthy. happy girl
who no longer needs medicine of any kind.
With all her other troubles she had rheurna-
tism- The pills made very great improve
ment at once and in the end cured the rheu-
matism as well as the other troubles She is
now nearly fifteen years of age, a diIigent
student making up for lost time, a bright
eyed, rosy-cheeked girl. 1t scarcely seems
possible she can be the same one who few
years ago was delicate, almost hopeless,
sufferer"
All the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves are contained, in condensed
form, in DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. They are also specific for troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppressious,
irregularities and all forms of weakness.
They bald up the blood, and restore the glow
of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men
they effect radical cure in all cases arising

out resistance, as also the more important
village of Beaufort, across the inlet known as
Newport River, and proceeded to invest Fort

secession of the State.
This work stands on an island, or rather
ocean sand-bank, whence it looks Off on the
broad Atlantic, and commands the entrance

the land with much difficulty, but was soon
invested, and a regular siege commenced.
The land batteries were kept at work until
late in the afternoon, when, seven of the gar
rison being killed, 18 wounded and most OF
the available guns dismounted, Col. White
raised the white flag, and next morning SIR

Fort Macon was among the first of the i'm

whence his brigade sEas conveyed mp Able

beth City, where's 1t was disembarked during
the night and pushed northward, with intent
to intercept rebel force known to be about
leaving Elizabetls City for Norfolk; but Col.
Hawkins, of theL 9th N. Y. (Zouaves), who

The anticipated surprise proved a failure;
and, at APPOINT nearly 20 miles inland, within
a mile and a half of South Mills, our weary,
overmarched men, who had been nearly "a
hours ON their feet, were confronted by less
numerous rebel force, very strongly posted in
woods fanked by swamps, and with large
clearing in their front; upon entering which,
they were saluted by fire of grape. we'll

but rashly ordered charge of the Zouaves was
repulsed with considerable loss.
The position was soon fanked by our SUI

draw off, leaving nothing on the field but a
very few dead and wounded.
BY this time, Burnsides Division, which
had at no time exceeded $4,000 men, had ne
come so widely dispersed, and had so many
important points to guard, that its offensive
efficiency was ,stroyesi; and very little more

he was ordered by telegraph from Washing

could collect to Fortress Monroe, where he
arrived three days afterwari.
Gen. Foster was left in command of the

barely sufficient to hold the important posi-
tionsleft him by Gea. Burnside, until lac in

reinforced by new regiments, mainly from

was dispatched next evening up Albemarle
Sound and Pasquotank River in pursuit OF
the rebel gunboats. He found them, seven
In number, at Elizabeth City; where, after
smart fight, they were set on fire by their
crew and abandoned. One of them was
captured, the others destroyed.
The city itself was likewise set on fire,
and in good part destroyed. Four of the
gunboats were sent thence to Edenton, on
the west end of Albemarle Sound, where
eight cannon and schooner were destroyed,
and two schooners, with 1900 bushels of
corn, captured.
Commander Rowan's flotilla next moved
on March IL, five miles up the Chowan River
to WintOn, Hereford County, upon assur-
ances that its citizens wished to return to and
be protected by the Union. Their reception
was even warmer than they had expected.
On reaching the town, they were saluted
by hailstOrm of bullets, which constrained
them to fall down the river for the night;
returning next morning, the village was
sheiled by them until abandoned, and then
burnt.
Gen. Burnside next concentrated his forces
at Hatteras Inlet, for an attack on Newbern,
at the junction of the Neuse and Trent
Rivers, near Pamlico Sound, and the most
important seaport of North Carolina. COM

Commander Rowan directed the fleet. Leav-

expedition came to about sunset at SIocums

effected next morning, and the troops pushed

"A few weeks later Ger. Foster, with con-
siderably larger force-all that he could col
lect, set out from Newbern on q march di-
rectly inland, intending to reach and destroy
the important railroad junction at Goldsboro'
He encountered no impediments, save from
trees felled across the road, until reached
Southwest Creek, where the bridge had been
destroyed, and regiment was found posted
on the opposite bank supporting three pieces
of artillery.
These were driven off by a charge Of the
9th N. j. and one gun captured; when, after
two OF three more skirmishes, Foster adj
vanced to within mile of Kinston, where he
encountered a considerable rebel force, under
Gen. Evans, strongly posted between the
Neuse and deep swamp, whence they were
driven after short but sharp fight, and the
bridge over the Neuse saved, though it had
been fired by the fugitives, of whom 400 were
taken prisoners.
Evans fled through and abandoned the
town, but reformed two miles beyond it and
continued his retreat before Foster could
bring his artillery over the injured bridge
and attack him.
Gen. Foster, having bewildered the enemy
by feints in different directions, advanced
directly on Goldsborough, but did not reach
that point because of concentration in his
front OF more than double his force, under
Maj. Gen. w. L. Smith, with regiments
drawn from Petersburg OH the one hand and
Wilmington on the other; but the Whining
ton S Weldon Railroad bridge, over the
Neuse, was fired by Lieut. George w. Graham,

the daring feat had been picked off by rebel
sharpshooters.

commenced a rapid retreat on Newbern.
