The Evils of Constipation.

are many; in fact almost every se- rious illness has it's origin in consti- patton, and some medicines. instead of preventing constipation, add to it. This is true of most cathartics, which, when first used, have beneficial ef- feet, but the dose has to be contin- ually increased, and before long the remedy ceases to have the slightest effect. There is one preparation, how ever, that can be relied upon to pro- duce the same results with the same dose, even after fifty years daily use, and this is Brandreth's Pills, which has record of over 100 years as the standard remedy for constipa- -tion and all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood.
 Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used, and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated

One of the Fiercest Battles of the Confederate War,

One of the Fiereest Battles of the
 Confederate War.
 As described by Daniel P. Smith. who was participant of the bloody battle.
 It was raining slowly. as. on Sunday November 20. the 1st Alabama formed and marched down to the Tennessee river, crossed the long pontoon bridge and went into camp four miles beyond. Monday there was light fall of snow, and Tuesday morning the roads were frozen hard. During the day the army crossed the line of Tennessee, marked by rough board sign placed by the roadside. every regiment cheer ing heartily. Tennessee troops being especially enthusiastic The days march was thirteen miles. Wednesday saw us twelve miles on our journey. The day was cold and wintry, and the soldiers, thin1y clad and generally without over coats suffered keenly. As on Wednesday the route lay through Q hostile, mountainous country and the slow progress made by the artil- iery and wagon trails, as well as keeping the men closed up, delayed the army and only twelve miles were made. The mouptaineers were mostly HupIen men and showed no mercy to straggIers, either killing them out- right or horribly maltreating them. On Friday the roads were better; the mountains were behind us; and as the troops passed through Henryvilie they were met with friendly greet ings. Saturday the people were still more cordial and the troops were cher ed at Mount Pleasant On Sunday the 27tb Stewards corps arrived at Co., lumbia.. invested by Lees corps the preceding day. At dusk the 1st Ala bama were sent to the swirmish line. During the night the enemy evacuated the town, taking position on the oth- CT side of the Duck River. The rsgi- ment remained in camp during Monday. General Forest crossed four miles above Columbia on that day; and a pontoon bridge having been put down. Cheatham's and Stewards corps and Johnsonis division of Lees corps fol- lowed on the 29th. Schofleld at once withdrew and now began a spirited race for Franklin parallel roads, the Federals having the advantage of holding the regular pike. while the ConfedeFates marched over rough by roads and through the fields. There was brisk skirmishing throughout the day between the iankers; but Cheat ham, who had forged far enough ahead Ito have thrown his corps across the pike. failed to execute Hoods positive orders to do so. Hood then ordered Stewards corps to the front to make
