Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia!
I, Elizabeth Bjiaxson, of Brandywine, Delaware,
formerly of Old Chester, Delaware, do certify tha t for
one year and a half I suffered everything bat death from
that awful diseasecalled Dyspepsia. My whole system
was prostrated with weakness and nervous debility;!
could not digest my food; if I ate e ven. a cracker or the
smallest amount of food it would return jnst&s ! swal
lowed it;l:beoaiae so costive in my bowels that I would
not have a passage in less than from four and often
eight days; under this immense suffering, my. mind
seemed'entlrely to give way; I had dreadful horror and
evil forebodings; l thought everybody hated me, and I
hated everybody; I could not bear my husband nor my
own children; everything appeared 'to be horror
stricken to me; Ibad no ambition to do anything; Host
all my love of family and home; I would ramble and
wander from place to place, but could not be contented;'
I felt that I was doomed to hell, and that there was no
heaven forme, and was often tempted to commit suicide,
so near was my whole nervous system-destroyed, and
also jny mind, from that awful complaint, Dyspepsia,
that my friends thought best to have mo placed. In Dr.
Hospital, West Philadelphia; I remained
Ihere nine weeks, and thought I was a little better,
but in a few days my. dreadful complaint was raging as
bad as ever. . Hearing of the wonderful cures per
formed by Dr. Wishart’B Great American Dyspepsia
Pills and his treatment for Dyspepsia, my - husband
called on Dr. Wishart and stated my case to him. He
said he had no doubt he could care me. So in three
days after 1 called and placed myself under the Doctor’s
treatment, and In. two weeks I began to digest my food,
and felt that my disease was fast giving way* and !
continued to recover for about three months, and at the
present time I enjoy perfect health of body and mind,
*ahd I most sincerely return my thanks to a merciful
God and Dr. Wishart, and to his great American Dys
pepsia Pills and Fine Tree Tar Cordial that saved me
from an Insane Asylum and apremUure grave/ All
persons suffering With Dyspepsia are at liberty to call
on me or write, as 1 am willing to do all the good I can.

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia!
Dr, Wjsitabt : Ihavebeen a constant sufferer with.
Dyspepsia for the last eighteen years, during which
time I cannot say that I ever enjoyed a perfectly weiV
day. There were times when the symptoms were more
aggravated than at others, and then it seemed It would
be a great relief todie. ;i I had at all times ah unplea
sant, feeling in my head, bat latterly, my suffering so
much increased that I became almost unfit for business
of any kind; my mind was continually . filled with*
gloomy, thoughts and forebodings, and if I attempted
to change'their-current by reading, at once a sensation
of icy coldness in connection with a dead weight, as it
werei rested upon rny.braiiti also, a feeling of sickness.
would occur at the stomach, and great pain to my eyes, ,
accompanied with which was the continued fear of
losing my reason. I also experienced great lassitude,
debility, and nervousness, which made it difficult to
walkby day, or sleep at night. I became averse to
society, _and disposed oniy to seclusion, and having
tried the skill of a number of eminent physicians of va
rious schools, finally came to the conclusion that, for
this dise&se at my present age (45 years) there was no
cure in existence. But through the interference of Di
vine Providence, to whom I devoutly offer my thanks,
I at last! found a 'sovereign, remedy in your Dyspepsia
Fills and Tar Cordial, which seem to have effectually
removed almost the last trace of my long list of ail- ;
ments and bad feelings, and in their place health, plea
sure, and contentment are niy every-day companions.

called Dyspepsia, I employed, In that time, five of the
most eminent physicians in Philadelphia, They did all
they could for me with.medicines,; and ..cupping, but
•still I. was no better, I then went to the Pennsylvania
University, in .order to place myself within reach of the
best medical talents in the country, but their medicines
failed to do me any good, and oftentimes I wished for
death to relieve me of my sufferings, bub seeing Dr.
Wiahart’s advertisement In the Philadelphia Bulletin,
1 determined to try once more, but, with little faith. I
called on Dr. Wisharti and told him if I couldhave died
I would not have troubled him, and then related my
sufferings to him. The Doctor assured me that, if he
failed to cure me of the Dyspepsia, it would he the.firsfc
case in two years, so I put myself under his treatment,
and although I had been for months vomiting; nearly
everything I ate, my stomach swollen with wind, and
filled with pain heyond description, 1 1 bought a box of
hie Dyspepsia Pills. I used them as directed, and in ten
days I could eat as hearty a meal as any person in the
State of Pennsylvania, and in thirty.days waa a well
man. -1 invite any person suffering as I was, to call and
see me. and .1 will relate my sufferings, anil the great

Dr. Wjsfaet— Sir: It is with much pleasure that I
am bow able to inform you that, by the use of your
great American Dyspepsia Pill, 1 have beea entirely
cured of that most distressing complaint, Dyspepsia!. I
! had “been greviously afliicted for the last twenty-eight
years, andfor ten years of that time have not been free
from its pain one week at a time. I have had it in its
vrorst form, and have dragged on a most miserable ex
istence—in pain day and night. E very kind of food that
I ate filled me with wind and pain, it mattered not how
light or how small the quantity. A continued belching
was sure to follow. I had no appetite for any hind of
meatß whatever, and my distress was so great for seve
ral months before I heard of your Pills, that I frequently
wished for death. I had taken everything that I had
heard of for Dyspepsia, without receiving any benefit;
but on yotLv Pills being recommended to me by one who
had been cured by them, I concluded to give them a
trial, althoughl had no faith in them. To my astonish
ment, I found myself getting better before I liad taken,
bne-fourth of a box, and after taking half a box, X am
a well man t and can eat anything I wish, and einoy a
hearty meal three times a day, without inconvenience
from anything I eat or drink. If you think proper, you
are at liberty to make' this, public and refer to me. I
will cheerfully give all desirable information to any
one w.ho may call on me. ' , ' - .

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia!!
. I, Samuel D. Haven, have been a great sufferer with
Chronic Dyspepsia, and Inflammation of the Kidneys for
three years. 1 employed three or four of the most emi
nent physicians of Philadelphia; also of - Burlington
county, XJ, They did all for me they canid, hat all
to no purpose. I was constantly filled with awful pain,
and distress, and with constant belching of wind and:
sour acid. My tongue was covered with a white coat
ing of mucus until it cracked in large furrows,and was.
dreadfully sore. Oh! I oftentimes wished for death to
believe me of my sufferings, .for I had lost all hope of
ever being well again. I made it a subject of prayer to
God that lie would direct me to some physician or medi
cine that would cure me, I was told to read an adver
tisement of Dr. Wishart’s, in the Philadelphia Ledger,
of a great cure made upon Mr. John Babcock, of 1023
Olive street, Philadelphia, by the Great American Dys
pepsia Fills. I went to the Doctor's office and placed
"myself nnder his treatment, and told him if .ho.failed
to euro me it would he the I?jit effort i would make. It
has been six weeks since I conAnonccd ihe two of his
medicine, and I am now a well man, free from all pain
and distress, and can eat three hearty meals a day with
comfort," and feel perfectly well. Dr. Wisliart, I want
you to publish my case, as I want every poor dyspeptic
sufferiug as I was to cal! on xne, and I will toll them of
ihe great cure I have received from your invaluable
medicine." SAMUEL D. HAVEN, :

and dreadful pain, and my life was oueof great suffering.
I was so much sfllcted that, if I drank a glass of watßr,
It would soon return back in a heated condition; I ap

to no putpoee. I saw your.advertisement in the iedper
of a great cure your Great American. Dyspepsia Piiia
had made, ; I wont So, your store and. purchased a box,
and commenced to use them, and I do thank God this

him entirely. You may refer to me if you see proper.

This Is to certify that I suilered for ten years wttli that

pain and distress, with gloom and depression of spirits;
I was treated by sight different physicians for my com

disease, dyspepsia, would return with all its dreadful
realities, and my whole system was "fast wasting away.
In this sick and debilitated state, I was haudtd a olron

and Pine Tree Tar Cordial, which gave a correct de
scription of my sufferings, and I determined to place
myself under the Doctor’s care, and take his medicines.
As soon as I commenced the use of the medicine, I
began to get better, and so I continued throe months, at
which time I was perfectly cured of all my complaints,
and perfectly restored to health; I am to-day twweli

June 20.—The spires of Petersburg aro within sight.
So near are we that shots from our field pieces have
penetrated houses in the city. P. T. Beauregard
commands the forces in our front. With his charac
teristic recklessness, and inhumanity, be is .con
structing his,works in close contiguity-.with 1 the’
dwellings of the inhabitants. When these works are
fired on, we shall have the usual detectable Copper
head hiss from all parts of traitordom, North as well
- as South, about Federal savagery, in firing on non
combatants. Indeed, they may, as .well,: begin’at
once, for it. is credibly reported that a woman and
some children have been slain by our shells. Let no
one believe that P.T. Beauregard will cause the re
moval of .the,noh-niilitary .dwellers in Petersburg.
Not he 1. IJia jsystem of engineering requires their
presence for.'the .protection of his works. ‘As at
Charleston, so in Petersburg, will he claim exemp
tion from our fire for dwellings of non-combatants
' and for hospitals. But his hospitals will mask bat
teries in course of erection, shield magazines from
destruction, and he used ns look-outs and signal
stations. And the exemptions, if any, given from ,
. motives of humanity to dwelling houses, will as
surely operate to the immunity of batteries and
rebel forces from tbo efl'eots of our firo. Such Is the.
chivalry of Beauregard. ■
Already we have had an Instance of the clever
ness and dexterity-of the Louisianian arch rebel in
’ turning circumstances to host account, as old eio’
men revamp decayed garments. A flag of, trneo'
yesterday proposed to give opportunity for remov
ing wounded and burying dead, to within the shore
intervening between the respective army lines. The
Interval being granted, a working party of rebels
instantly began a line of rifle-pits within one hun
dred and fifty yards, of our front,
18TH army cores.
; The 18th Army Corps, that, did so well in taking
tlio defences of Petersburg, has gone elsewhere
to gather the abundant fruits of its enterprise.
It was succeeded by the 6th Army Corps. Yes
terday these deprived the rebels of frro guns. It
was a violent measure, the only justification of
which, that has’ been offered, is the assumption of
a better knowledge of the use of cannonlhan was
possessed by the garrison of Petersburg that yielded
them, gracefully, of course, for Is not the Southern
•noblesse oblige !
the 2d corps;
And General Hancock’s gallant 2<L Corps. How
should that be located, except “convenient to the
fightin’l”. Of coarse, they were here on the heels

the soldiers were assured that “none" but niggers,

Plymouth pattern. But at right-angles, or nearly,
with those captured torts, concealed by the dark

Corps, with full cartridge-boxes and fingers’on their

spoken, and Ills men obey. They charge bravely

occasion to that of even General Lee; for, albeit it

REBEL LOSSES.
General Elliott, of Beauregard’s army, is reported
killed. Six hundred and fifty prisoners and 18 guns,"
with the colors and most of tho.officers and enllstod
men of the 20th Virginia, are In our hands. Up to
Saturday night, we had taken 850 prisoners and 18
guns from the enemy at this point. Our losses have
been small, in comparison with the results attained.

F rom an escaped Inhabitant of Petersburg we
learn that upon tho arrival of General Leo, on
Wednesday night, ho remarked, as ho surveyed tho
position on tho crest of the hill overlooking Peters
burg, just wrested from Ids troops: “To retake that
hill will heed sterner fighting than we have over
had. But it must bo done.” •
. The custom house at Petersburg has been pierced
by one of our shells. The rebels used It as a signal

T JIB BRIDGES ACROSS- THE APPOMATTOX ST ADS
Dakok no us.—Tho railroad and common bridge#
across the Appomattox, connecting Petersburg with
Pocahontas and Richmond, are now shotted daily
by two battories which are placed in a rather warm,
position. Both are enfiladed and taken in reverse'
by the firo <ff the rebel ’.batteries on the opposite
bnnk : of the river, but are so well protoeted
by strong traverses that but; little -damage
has yet been received. Our guns have opened
on the: jrailroad bridgo and the pontoon bridge
to Pocahontas, and, after the rango was oo*
tained, effectually closed thorn to rebel use. One
long train went into the city just before the batte
ries opened, and a second had reached halfway
across when our shells began to drop about it. The
locomotive whistled down the brakes, and, after
coming to a sudden stop, backed rapidly off. and
since then not a ear has passed over during the hours
of daylight. The pontoon bridge is equallyas un
available to tho-onemy, as it is quite as much ex
posed, and is equally us dangerous a road to travel;
as the railroad bridge has been found to be. All that
now cross the river must sneak across under the
cover of the night, when our artillerists cannot de
tect their movements.
The Inhabitants out of PETisnsntmo.
—From information that we get, and from other evi
dcnco that is brought to us by our lookouts, it Is cer
tain that the inhabitants of the town are moving
away as rapidly as they can with safety. The town
cannot be regarded as a very safe or desirable loca
lity for aquiet inhabitant who Is unaccustomed to'tho
rude and, bloody accompaniments to a siege. Al
though we have not yet regularly shelled the city,
yet there are occasional shells dropping into the
•town, and doubtless some lives lost from their ex
plosion, Such accidents cannot well be avoided,
when our lines arc within a mile and a half of the
town and our batteries in range.
’Reports of Rebel Prisoners.— Rebel prison
ers report Richmond preparedfor a long siege, and
state that for three months past army supplies nave
been forwarded to the city in anticipation of Grant's
intentions. Most of the rebel prisoners taken are;
still hopeful and confident of ultimate suceess. “In
• what,” they sneeringly ask, “has .Grant been suc
cessful? True, he has taken’more guns than we
have, and perhaps a few more prisoners, but.wherein
has he achieved anything like a complete success ? 1
Finding ail his attempts to drive us from our posi
tion futile, he has evaded them by flank movements,
and has to-day fewer prospects of taking Richmond
than over.” Among the rebel prisoners sent to
Washington to-day is a quondam correspondent of
the Richmond: Examiner. Many of the prisoners
captured of late are better clad than usual, and
wear a substantial suit of light-blue cloth, rosem-,
bling that worn by our men, which they state is
manufactured in England, and. brought into'the J
“Confederacy” by blockade-runners.
G-ekural Sheridan.— When last heard .from,

has doubtless arrived in time to assist in the repulse
and pursuit of the attacking party. His own suc
cesses on the raid he,Js justvreturningfromhave

A. Sad, Fulfilment op a Jest.—A. very singular
occurrence was: noted in the lOth-Massachusetts.'
A sergeant lujd been engaged in the 2d division hos-
Eital the day previous in" placing upon a number of
eadboards the names of 'members of his regiment
who,had been the late fight or had died in
battle, which was to piark their-last resting place.
There was one 1 board iri excess, and, in a sportive
rein, he- placed /with" a ' lead pencil his own name
upon it, and the date of his demise, 20th of June, as
h!s term of service had then expired and he was
nbout to leave'fdr home. - Yesterday morning, while
negr the front bidding his companions in other regi
ments'* farewell.he was struck in the breast by a
twenty-pounder Parrott and instantly killed. * His
remains were interred to-day, and the very headboard
hehadunthinkingly inscribed with hisown name was
placed over his grave, and, with date, correctly
marks for the time his last resting place.
The Retreat op General Sturgis.—When all
was lost, our brave men without officers, regimental
or general, faced to the rear, pressing the rebels,
who had cut off their'retreat, until at last they broke
through, demoralized, routed, regiments all mixed
in confusion, every man endeavoring to save him
self. The men in their desperation broke their guns
over stumps and trees, throwing away their empty -
cartridge boxes, coats, and even shoes, everything
that would impedo them in their, flight.- Words
cannot picture the horrors of this retreat. Not a
mouthful ofprovlsion in the whole army, the coun
try a barren arid desolate yaste, the ca>*alry,of the.
: enemy harassing them on every side, worn down arid
broken in spirit, they trudged on all the live long
night through the mud and mire. Just at.daylight
in the morning a column of rebel cavalrv dashed
- through the these unarmed weary men,
sabering and shtfoting right and left. All effort to
escape was now abandoned ; they sank down in the
road and yielded themselves prisoners, powerless to
make another effort for liberty. Not two thousand
wore saved of that bravo little army, niaerhing
eighty miles in thirty-six hours.
A word for the negroes. The Ist brigade formed
the left and the 2d the right wing. The “niggers”
were placed in the centre;. Now then we have at
last a showing of what negroes will do in an open
field. With those who witnessed their on
this memorable day they-are hereafter not niggers
but black men. They shot away their last round of
ammunition, never giving one inch. They charged;
bayonets three times against numbers vastly supe
rior. They captured two stands of colors, and the
last scon of them they were entirely surrounded,
fighting.with their bayonets to the death..
Mr. Greeley arid Sir. Tluirlow Weed.
Hr. Greeley has written a reply in the Tribune to
the recent assault from Hr. Thurl’ow Wood in the
. Albany : Journal. Mr. Greeley defends himself
satisfactorily, and concludes with the following em
phasis:
Hr. Editor, good and true men whom I love and
honor have appealed to me not to distraetthe Union
party-by persisting in personal feuds .with Hr.;:
weed. I appeal to yourjcolumns to vindicate me
from this inculpation. I most anxiously desire to
avoid such controversy whenever I can do so* with
out compromising great and precious public in
terests. Hut when I see private citizens like Messrs.
James Hoy, George Opdyke, and Morris Ketchum,
dragged wantonly before the public by T.W., and
held up to odium through your columns, and those
of the nois v chorus or claque of Copperhead oracles,
who eagerly copy T. W.’s libels, and most wrong
fully charged with robbery and .oppression, I feel
that no one’s reputation is safe while he is allowed,
to slander with impunity.
Years ago T. W; arid I. were dally associates and
, (as I thought) friends. ”VVe have since separated,
simply and only because one of us has, come to believe
in and practice systematically using legislators and
legislation to advance personal interests and promote
private ends. Whatever may be asserted, there is
not, there never was, another serious ground of dif
ference between us. The city railroad, bills of iB6O,
the wliiskv legislation of the present session", illus
trate the whole matter. I belleyed, and urged, that,
those city railroads ought to contribute largely to
replenish; our city’s treasury and lessen the burdens,
of taxation; Hr. Weed took the other side, arid suc
ceeded. So, when it became necessary to increase
by Congressional action the market value of the
distilled liquors in our country to the amount of
several millions of dollars, I believed and urged
that those millions should—at least in good part—be
put into the national treasury, and not into the
pockets of speculators, conjointly In legislation and
liquor. lam beaten again on this point, and I hear
and believe that T.W. is amongthe largest winners.
1 think I have not before used his name in connec
tion with this subject; and I shall gladly be spared
the necessity of over alluding to him again. Hut as
to that, very much, Mr. Editor, must depend upon
you. Respectfully, Horace Greeley.
Wliat is Thouglit of tlio Gold Panic.
[Prom the New York Herald. ] * :
“Becki.ess Si'ecut.atobs.” —Since the passage
of the gold bill-by Congress, buying and selling the
prceious metal have ceased in the Stock Exchange.:
There are no longer any official quotations of its
price., A few. reckless speculators, many of .them
with more sympathy with Jeff Davis than the Union
cause, have taken advantage' of this condition
ofatlairs, and are announcing gold at . all prices
from two hundred to two hundred, and-thirty.,
Othera have increased the excltoment for the
purpose of accomplishing the repeal .or a modi
fication of .the'now law. The Copperhead press
yesterday morning quoted it as- high as two
hundred and ten, and endeavored to make the
public believe that the rise was caused by the
failure of General Grant In his operations on
Petersburg. The effeotof the gold bill has furnished
the sccesh sympathizers with a splendid opportunity
to rush through the streets and kceplip a clamor
and bluster, announcing gold at any price , they
choose. That is the business that they are engaged
in just now, which explains the whole affair, fret
one of our merchants visit Wall: street with ten
thousand dollars of-gold to sell, and he will very
soon ascertain that gold is not bringing any such
price as the sceesh street brawlers quote ft at.
[Freni the K. Y. Tribune.]
“ Gold-Gasi in. iKO.”— Gold-gambling has long
been a favorite resort of treason and its sympa
thizers in our city. The intercepted correspondence
last year of prominent rebels burrowing here showed
that they believed they were serving, their master,
J tft" Davis, as much by foretng.up the price of gold
in our market as they could, do by' loading Ills regi
ments In Virginia.' Congress, by the new gold act,
has struck them a tolling blow, and they writhe and
foam madly in consequence.:' Their craft 1b In
danger or, worse, and they are making desperate
exertions to wreck the credit and finances of the
Union, in order at once to glut tholr rapacity and
secure the triumph of the slaveholders’ rebellion.
Such is this essential impulse to the spasmodic and
convulsive exaggeration of tlio promium .Qn: gold
during tho last two days. ... .
* ** .* Any man who.has greenbacks can
buy gold with .them in porfoot obedience to tbelaw of
Congress, or he can sell gold (if he has any) for
greenbacks. What the, law tbrbids is. selling gold
you have wot, or buying and not paying for it. Hot
ting on the price of: gold at a future day, and other
forms of gold-gambling, are likewise forbidden j but
actually to buy or sell gold, paying or taking pay
for it In tho legal currency of tho country, is nowise
forbidden or discouraged.; You are swindling your
renders, slrl and trying to coin their credulity Into
disloyalty and national ruin-! , Beware!

: * CELEBRATED AMERICAN FLAG. ’ •
The following is a history of an American flag. It
wMl.bp. read with interest. The Identical flag is
simply on exhibition in the Arms and Trophies De
partment
Tenn., June.iQ,is£4.
•To the Union Ladies and Gentlemen Managers of the
Fair. Fkiladelphia.Pa.:
'VVeherewith present to you a flag, not remarka
ble for'its fineness oftexturo or beauty of workman
ship. As will be observed, it is a plain, unpretend
ing flag, having thirty-four stars, emblematic of the
States of our "Union ere treason madly attempted
to tear a portion off.
Its' history;-! however, is a little remarkable. It
was biade by the 1 ladies.of Cleveland, East Tennes
see, early in April, 1861, and was presented to the
Union men of Bradley county, through their chosen
spokesman, MissSalHe Shields, now living at
Galesburg, Illinois; and it was received by K. H.
Edwards, now; colonel of the 4th Tennessee Cavalry.
The* addresseaTßade on the occasion were 'pre
served for a tirnb, but finally burned to prevent the
rebels from getting them.
The flag was; given to the breeze on the Bth of
April, 1881, andScbntinued to wave defiantly, not
withstanding thousands of rebel soldiers were phas
ing the town daily on the trains to "Virginia, until
about the sth day of May, 1861, when an Alabama
regiment,more hot-blooded and devilish than any
preceding; stopped their train, loaded their guns,
and threatened to’mareh on the town if it was not
taken down. -
A few ’ brave-hearted men railed around, their"
flag pole* with &id'fashioned rifles, determined to
detend it tp thblaat. ■ : ' v
; In-this juncture of affairs the Mayor of the town
ordered ittaken down, to preventa useless encounter
with overwhelming numbers.
: After ityras tbttsTorced down, It was secreted for
a time totko town, but eventually, taken to the
country and hidden away, to prevent the rebels from
getting it in their possession.
It remained concealed until about the ist| of Feb
ruary, 1864; wh6m the loyal citizens, redeemed from
the reign Of Treason, hoisted it on a new pole, near
the samp spot where it was first given to the breeze.
The speeJbes on this occasion . were delivered by
Col. the 84th 111. infantry, and Colonel
'Gross; 3ffv!BflgsBiep4tk Army-Dorps, and* were, re
ceived with every mark of approbation by the loyal
community,;
7 O. J. Smolde, Who was very prominent in pre
paring and raising the flag originally, and whose
. daughter delivered it; had To fly from the country in
a short timo. and now 'resides at Galesburg,
Illinois. • .
R. M, Edwards, who received Ilyhad to .leave the
country also, some time after, disguised as a fisher-:,
man, under the pretence of. going, on a fishing ex
cursion, which covered'hisAbsence until he reached
the Federal lines. He.has returned as colonel of
the'4th Tennessee Cavalry.
Tho people of Braaiey county, for their persist
ence in their loyalty, anu, as tlie rebels said, their
unparalleled obstinacy in keeping this flag floating
when air others In the State had been torn down,
have suffered almost every indignity that could he
heaped upon them by the myrmidons of Jeff Davis.
Last autumn, when Bragg’s army occupied Mis
sionary Ridge aml-Lookout Mountain, and had our
little army cooped in Chattanooga, they took partl
eular'pains to vent their spleen on this people, and
■robbed them of all their: sustenance, and they are
ndw without the commonneccssarles of life.
This is a brief history of the' flag and tho people
by whom and for whom it was made. ~
We now'sendlt to you with the hope that, for a
time, It may aijhthe object of your praiseworthy en
terprise ; and when it shall have served the purpose
for which It is sent,'we havo to request Its return.
• We gave It to the breeze In IS6I for a short season,
and. were told at. the time ,by Col. Edwards that
from all appearances it would have to come down
for a season ; but that, sooner or later, it would be
replaced in Its position; to float.uninterruptedly:

.tbs. gipsy OAStr,
Among the various departments of the Fair there:
arc two which we daniot find in the ground plan ■ of
that institution, viz :'®ie Swing Department and
the Gipsy Camp. Or the first we know nothing
except that the arrangement appears to display ,
great ingenuity in uniting comfort and circular
motion. JOf tho Gipsy Camp it is but fair to
say a few words. The lady who' is the Gipsy
Queen deserves especial credit for the taste and
enterprise thatshe has' displayed'in founding this
novel department. As it appeared when the Fair
was first opened, there was a beautiful grotto form
ed by decorating the pillars and roof of a casHron
summer house with evergreens and artificial flowers
So neatly was this done, however, that the
whole resembled a natural bower, lighted by means
:of colored lamps, which swing from invisible wires .
As a background to thjs, and tho better to carry
out the intended idea, were four officers 1 tents,which
at night appeared quite gipsical, enough for all in
tents and purposes. In the centre or tiffs place, and
surrounded by beautiful jpnng ladies, the' Queen
held her ’witciilng summer house was
taken down and erected in the restaurant. Its
place was promptly supplied ...by a larger, and, wo
think, even more appropriate booth, beautifully
adorned with flags anthflowors. The lady in charge
has enlisted tho services of all the prominent
favorites at the late prtr3tp, theatricals, and every
evening adds to the charms’ of -'tho department by
some exquisite, duets by the best amateur vocalists
in Philadelphia, ■' She has already' made by her
exertions a: handsome sum for the Sanitary. Upon
one occasion over $5O were taken in ! littlo over an

THE BRUO BOX.
On tho table of the Seventeenth section of'tha
School Department will he found a piece of fancy
work well worthy of careful observation. It Is called;
o “Drug Box,” and Is composed or ovor 1,000 differ
ent articles used in the manufacture of drugs,-all of
whichare finely varnished and artlsticallyarrangod.
'The poppy heads," cards mo seed, root ginger, ma
rine blue,'gum copal,"and all tho various articles of
different shapes, sizes; and colors form a magnificent
specimen of fancy work equal if not superior to the
celebrated wax. work on exhibition in another part
or tho building. It is tho gilt of Mr. John B. Fer
guson, a well-known druggist In* the upper section
4 of opr city, to tbe School Department of the Fair.
It is valued at fifty dollars,* and is to be drawn for at
twonty-fivo cents a chance. The young ladies in
attendance kro .very careful of their trust, aijp are
desirous of getting the requisite number of names.
A few more subscribers are wanted to complete tho
list. *
THE BREWERY.
' This department of the Fair has met with Abund
nnt success. All the boor and other malt liquors
used in the Fair are contributed by the Browers’
Association. A oashlor Is stationed at the entrance,
from -whom tickets are obtained at the moderate
rate often cents each. This is done to prevent con

of these bousos are the doarly-prizod gift of chip
drenwho have contributed their all, tlioir houses,
lands, otc., for: the benefit of the brave soldiers.
When wo look upon them, and see what sacrifices
the little ones can make and do make for the gal
lant defenders of our liberties, do we not; feel
humbled that wo have done so little in comparison
with the abtindahoe and wealth which we now
enjoy! Those houses, as they tower aloft above
masses of needle-work- and gorgeous draperies, are
the children’s monuments of patriotism dedicated to
their bleeding and suffering country.
During tho past week much has been done in this
department; tho improvements ehlclly consisting
of what an artist would oall “retouching.” To tho
attractions of the room has boen addod that,of
music, and from the reeessos of tho central pyramid
is nightly hoard inspiring strains from a brass hand.
Were these strains loss loud and martial we think
would ho hotter—something iitiry-llko and’
delicate, issuing from beneath tho palms and orange
trees, would be far more enjoyable than the full burst
of a brass band, which is necessarily at such a short
distance from Its auditors. Notwithstanding the'
volume and force of tho music, it is of the host qual-;
ity and adds much to tho popularity of-the lui.ll.
In the fountain-pond several now water plants,
have made their appearance, and wo noticed last
week some .fine specimens o f tlte magnolia macro
phylla floating on the water. This ; magnificent.
member of the magnolia family is a native of North
Carolina. . .
.From the “mainland” to the island, now stretches
a rustic bvidgo which adds much to the beauty of
the stream, and Is. in far, hotter keeping with tho
spirit of tho scene than tho toy sloops and batteaux
which are anchored here and there, without any
meaning or appropriateness that we can see. :-
There isnoportion of the Horticultural Hall which
attracts more deserved attention than tho fruit de-
partment, which is under the Immediate charge of
Mr. Tlios. Meehan, assisted by an efficient cotyjs or
ladies. We notice on these tables, among much re
markable, and, we have no doubt, dolieious fruit,
some well-grown and ripened watermelons,which are
quite a rarity at this season. They wore for sale at
ono dollar each. ■ Some extraordinarily large and
heavy lemons were contributed by Mr. H. ,N. John-’
son, of Germantown. • They were about five times
the size and weight of ordinary lemons, and brought,
readily, fifty cents apiece. Bananas were there in
profusion; pine-apples, Imported and growing Ire.:
fore our eyes; and strawberries temptingiyarranged
in little ,baskets. This fruit, attracts more notice
and is the occasion of more animated discussion than
any other, froiu the fact of tho Fruit Committee
haying offered a number of silver fruit-knives, orna
mented with suitable inscriptions, as prizes for cer
tain specified exhibitions of strawberries. Different
conditions were made for each day, and, as the chief
object or the committee was to induce the donation
oriargo quantities of fruit to,the Fair, persons con
tributing were encouraged to send as many straw
berries as they couhl spare, and a pertain quantity
of those least damaged were selected hytho commit
tee to be placed in competition for the momorial
knives.’
The prize for the best two, quarts of strawberries
of any kind, shown on the Sth of June, was won by
Wm. Nathan Leeds, of Cinnaminson, N. J. -His ber
ries were .“Russell’s Prolifics,” and were of re
markably fine quality. There. were many kinds, in
competition for Otis prize. The closest rivals wore
the "French’s Seedling” and tho “ Triomphc Ac
Gand,” .
The prize for the largest quantity of any kind on.
the 10th of June, was given to Mr. W.illiamParry,
of Cinnaminson, who contributed sixteen quarts of
fine “Albany Seedlings.”
The knife to be given to the exhibitor of the best
two quarts of Trio:npr~de Gand , on the 10th of June,
was decided to he the prize of Mr. D. W. Herstine,
Germantown.
The exhibitor of the largest quantity of any kind>
on the 14th inst., was Mr. Parry, who gaineda second
prize for liberality. "
' Mr. W. L. Sohmffer, of tho Girard Bank, gained the
prize on June 15th for the best two quarts' of Albany
Seedlings. .. '
Tho prize for the best quart of any kind, on the
16th, was taken by Mr. J. V. : Merrick. Ills straw
berries were Triorapto ds Gahi.
On one of the exhibition tables Is a fine collection
of twenty-five Cornelius, which wore generously
given to the Fair by Mr. James Ritchie.
Mr. Souihwood has improved his-Torrid Zone, and
the scene is more interesting and suggestive than
ever. The scene in the Frigid Zone is still iramove
ably. beautiful.
The Department of Aquaria Is now quite full
of these beautiful and instructive arrangements.
The habits and customs bf the, inhabitants of tho
waters can here bo studied to great advantage-
Near the Torrid Zone is a pen containing some
beautiful cashmere goats. They are as white as
snow, very tame, andutterly fearless of a large

■Walking around the fountain, on an evening last
week, we wore made' conscious of a most delicious
perfume, something far more delicate and, withai,
more powerful than the ordinary scents with which
we arc familiar. Where was it, and what was ill
We wore not long in doubt, forbeforeus, onasales
table, was a beautiful plant and flower of the A'ly/il
blooming Cei'eus. To those Who have not seen this
flower, description- can convey no idea of Its beauty
and perfume. . Coming into bloom only at night,
and fading away black and ?shapeless before morn
'.ing,~we may call It tho flower of civilization,.for our
first parents, who retired at sundown and rose with
the lark, and all their descendants' who, followed
their example arid'the wise precepts of “Poor
Richard,” must have forever remained in ignorance
of this most beautiful member of the floral family.
But if we only stayed up b’nights when our cereus
-should bloomfbealth might yet glow on our cheeks
and sparkle in our eyes, for it blossoms but once in
seven years. We were so much charmed with this
flower that we forgot toaskof.the fair lady In charge
the donor’s name.
' WINTER EVENING PASTiXK.
Besides the attractions at the Fair Post Offices
already alluded to, we notice there a second edition
of that very popular game “Household Words,”
with an entirely new selection from tho best au
thors. Thisgame is compiled-by an Accomplished
lady of this city, who, for the' post' two years, has
appropriated.the entire proceeds of its sale for. the
benefit of the sick and wounded. For a winter eve-,
aing pastime it has no equal and should meet with
ready sale.
PERFUMERY.
, On the centre table, immediately east of the main
flag staff, perfumery and fancy soaps, of almost
.every kind known in tho business, may.bo obtained.:
The contributors, Blessrs. H. P. A C. R. Taylor, E.
McClain, Glenn & Co., X; Buzin, J. Hcuiel, A. W.
Harrison, B. &. G. Wright, have kept the tables, in
full supply, and will continue so tpdo until the close
of the Fair. A very handsomo donation of;“De
mulcent ” soap was received from Blr. J. C. Hull, of
New York. A. considerable amount of perfumery
has changed hands since the opening of the Fair,
and, as very little of it -goes a great way, there are
thousands of visitois, for months to come, who will
think of the Great Sanitary Fair when standing be
fore their toilettes.,
■ SAKNDEUS’ CADETS.
Professor Saunders 1 cadets drill , every afternoon
in the open space in the southeast part of the Fair
ground, and never fail to have a large audience.
Theygo through the drifl with astonishing preci
sion. :It would be a happy thing, Indeed, if youth
generally were as conversant with military tactics.
. THE BECEaafccKOEnT.AT THE FAIR.
The concert evening, given at the'
■Great Central Fairf.was in every respect a delight
ful entertainment! It was given under the auspices l
of Mr. Clement B. Barclay, whose taste and 010.
gance of arrangement are as'-wpll known as his other
more utilitarian powers. Blrs. Moulton, a lady
whose extraordinary vocal gilts have received the
highest tribute of applause, was induced by her
warm patriotic feelings to exert her talents for our
wound® soldiers on this occasion, and sheacqnltted
herself. with. great credit. The singing of Miss
Schaumbcrg was equally delightful. Tho Carnival
was sung in a wonderful manner, with tho variations,
which, we understand, are of her own composition.
Bliss Brooks sang charmingly.. We have heard
Jenny Lind execute “Qul la voce” in a less satis,
factory manner' than Miss B. did on Tuesday eve
ning. Messrs. Moehring and Angler wore very valua
ble in their assistance. Tho former has a fine, deep
bass, and the latter what the French call “la voix
ducceur,’,’ a soft, sweet tenor. Bliss Howell gave
ono of t hor dolicato characteristic nocturnes,-with
- her usual felicity. The grand pianos, one a capital'
Stcinway, were admirably managed by Siguprs
. Perelliiand Rizzo. Upon the whole, this exquisite
‘ musical entertainment has worthily crowned the
series given by -patriotic amateurs for their bravo
defenders.
THE HORSE-SHOB DEPARTMENT.
The groat success which tills novel fcaturo of
the Fair has all along met with, is quiio remarkable.
To wear a small horso-sheo pendant by a rod, whlto,
orblue ribbon, from lapolioa of coats, or from com
mittoe’s badges, was quite an ambition, and there is
no regular attendant of the Fair without, and few
transient visitors who have not procured a me
morial of tlio Sanitary Fair in the shape of a horse
shoe. The machine fbr the manufacture or the.
horse-shoe Is a very ingenious contrivance and at
tracts universal attention. ,: The machine is the in
vention, we believe, of Barney Mol, who represents
a firm in Troy, N. V.
COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor of The Press:
Str: Iseo by several of the morning papers that a
beginning lias been made in conferring rewards for
services rendered by members ,of committees who
have labored, in the Great Central Fair. I.ot all
workers in this nobte cause take to themselves tho
greatest of all rewards—a consciousness of having
done a duty, and done it well. I do not believe
there is on individual laboring in the Fair—from
the president down—who would care to have any
other reward than tho one above mentioned; I
most sincerely hope there is. not. Why. therefore,
place any one in a false position before the public,
such as officious friends run tho risk or doing 1 ; Let
tho motive that has, no doubt, actuated every one,
Stand but pure and simple. Lot all reward bo ut
terly discarded, tending, as it must, to invidious
distinctions, and perhaps marring, at tho close of
the Fair, ono of its most beautiful elements—har
mony among all who have been engaged thoroln,
A Committee Man. .
Tlic Raising of Box Kents,
To the Editor of The Press
Sin: Together with all box-holders, at the post
office, 1 havo received notice'of an intended advance
in rule after July Ist of one hundred percent. X
sympathize with the views of Merchant, ’’ in .your
paper this morning, and cannot rofrain from ex
pressing surprise at’the course adopted, -This sur
prise, so far aB my observation extends, is universal.
By doing this, the Government uses its influence to
aid tho depreciation of our currency, and tends to
justify tho enormous enhancement or gold; when, in
tho opinion of all loyal men, tho course should bo
tho reverse, and every effort made to discountenance
and counteract the efforts Of speculators, who de
light in this further evidence or their control over
the finances of our country. Tho increase becomes
particularly unjustifiable when wo consider that
this branch already pays hotter than any othor be
longing to the department.
Tam, sir, respectfully yours, i

THREE CENTS.
lINMCIAL AKD COMMERCIAL.
The excitement in gold lias abated, The flurry and
panic are over, bat the premium is still at a very high
point. It fluctuated yesterday from 110 to 116. The lat
ter figure, however, was not realized except in one or
two instances.
The statement of the public debt, which wo published
yesterday, is grafclfyingas showing a very marked con
traction of the currency. The Secretary of the Treasury,
appears determined that the national finances shall be
brought back to a sound and healthy condition.'Daring
the past month the interest-bearing legal-tender notes
withdrawn amounted to $38,890,700; the ordinary legal
tender notes withdrawn to $17,258,572; the reduction at
present in legal-tender notes, of. all descriptions to
$56,1#,572. This return to a sounder mode of
raising money disturbs a large class of people who
think it au outrage that the Treasury Department is not
managed solely in the interest of speculators for a rise.
They forget that for three years the necessities of the
Government have caused the manufacture of currency,
which, has inflated .prices and made the fortunes of
4 ‘ bull * * speculators. Time has educated the Treasury
Department thoroughly. A contraction of currency is
now in full progress, and those who fail to comprehend
it, and arrange their business in harmony with the'new
policy, will regret it. Just as surely as the manufac
ture of currency steadily forced prices up, its retire-,
ment will cause a return to lower market values.
The stock market was steady yesterday for nearly all
classes of securities.. Government loans were held
stiffly—the long loan selling at 112#, the seven-thirties
atICS fOT the clean, and the five-twenties at 105#; State
fives were unchanged; city sixes (hew) advanced a
fraction. There was more doing in company bonds.
