Although the writer has been evidently misinformed, as a friend of ww ana jastloe I cannot permit It to pass l without correction. First. In regard to the General's career as a s idler. Early In 18C2 he was appointed by the lVe General Frank Patterson Assistant Adja-tafet-Oeneral on his stair, and took part In the bail lot of tbe Peninsula, Yorktown, Williams hnrj Beven Pines, Peach Orohard, Gleudale, nd Malvern Hills, lleturnlng In broken healtn from the swamps of the Chickahominy, he wat Invited by the Corn Exchange Associa tion U 'take command of the 118th Regiment P.

Tbey consist of one main building and two wings. The mills are owned by James Lord, and occupied by various companies. Tbe west wing, in the Becond story of which the fire occurred, Is occu pied by Richard Kershaw, manufacturer of woollen sbawls. On Saturday last all bands were discharged early, as Is usual on that day, and about 3 o'clock P. M. tbe clerk closed tbe mill. About half an hour after some person passing taw names and smoke lsBUlng from Kershaw's portion of the mill. Gaining tbe room, it was found that a pile of sbawls, numbering about 2600, and oocuplng a space 25 feel long, 5 wide and 6 high, were on fire, as was also a lame reeling machine. By tbe use of tbe apparatus belonging to the mill, the fire was nearly all extlneuiahed before the arrival of the firemen. Bnt tbe fiery element clune tenaciously to the beams and rafters of the third floor. All the hawla were destroyed, the reel almost so by fire, and the stock of wool, etc, greatly damaged tv water and fire, making a loss which exceeds $20,000.

We would advise our patriotic and Union- loving citizens to take advantage of tbe short time now remaining before the great distribu tion which takes plaoe next month, to purchase one or more shares of slock at one dollar per share, In the Riverside Institute (located at Beverly, New Jersey), and established for the gratuitous education of soldiers' and Bailors' orphans. The small Bum required ('. e., one dollar) pli ces this duty within the reach of all, and enables them to build one of the noblest monuments that can be erected to the memory of our deceased soldiers and sailors, while at the same time every one who contributes to wards the grand work not only receives for a certainly more than tbe value of bis money, but stands bis chance with the other stock holders of being awarded some of the most valuable of the presents offered. The fine steel plate engravings given without extra cost with each Bhare of stock purchased, are on exhibi tion at the principal office, No. 1225 Chesnut street, and are all well worthy of a visit by all lovers of the fine arts, and npon such visit they will certainly agree with ns when we state that tbey are equal In every respect, both In style and finish, to those of this and other cities at 50 per cent, more than is charged by the Washing ton Library Company. Besides the pictpre you may select at the time of purchase, every share of stock held will secure one present when the great distribution of presents take plaoe, In Septem ber or sooner, If the necessary number of shares are sold. The Poisons of the Day. The late tem perance Investigations In Massachusetts have thrown a flood of light on the horrible abuses practised In the liquor trade, and have at the same time demonstrated the absolute necessity for unadulterated diffusive stimulants for medicinal purposes. Clergymen of the highest standing, men of tbe highest rank In science, and philanthropists, who are above the reaoh of prejudice, have testified not only to the per- niclous effects of the adulterated liquors of commerce, but also to the efficacy of nnoon tamlnated aloohollo tonics aa remedial and restorative agents. First on the list of this class of preparations, best known, and most extensively used of all the stomachics of the day, stands Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This specific Is the only representative of that absolutely pure article which eminent divines, chemists, physicians, and social economists In New England have Just declared not to be a proper subject for pro hibitory legislation. Tbe faculty proclaims by tbe mouths of Its professors that a stimulant of thlB charaoter la a medical necessity. Hostet- TER'a Bitters satisfies all the requirements of science. IU aloohollo principle Is free from the Irritating constituents which analysis detects in even the best Imported liquors, and the vege table extracts with whloh It Is medicated are among tbe best antidotes and restoratives that botanical science, lu lis world-wide research, has yet discovered. It Is an indubitable fact that some constitutions and habits of body de mand stimulation, and for all such a stimulant welch combines antl-billous and slightly ape rient properties with Its tonic virtues Is muni festly desirable. "How CAN Y Bloom so Frksh and FaieT" goes tbe old Bcotch song. How T Why, those who show the bloom of health on their cheeks take Plantation Bitters, which has tbe power of fortifying the system against disease, and of regulating tbe digestive apparatus. Are you dyspeptic, weak, void of energy? Have you little or no appetite, headache, continued lassi tude and depression of spirits? Take 8. T. 18ti0 X., and bloom and beauty will return. The Bitters have become a household friend. MaOSOIUWatkb-A delightful toilet arti cle, superior to Cologne, and at half the prlee. Whitman's Chocolate.
