Xo the Editors 0 the Sunday Dispatch,
Gentleman: In the artlole signed "Brlok
jrard," in your paper of yesterday, an attack Is
nade upon tbe military and political' oharaoter
of General Prevost. 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. V., wllch was organized under their suoerlu
tendenoil lie otminanded the Corn Exchange
Regiment at Antlelam and Shcpherdslown. At
the lattet battle he was severely wounded,
but after several month)' illness, again.it the advice
Of his turf Jon, he returned again to hit regiment,
and led it at the battle of Chancellor 'sville I Ills
Wound not permitting him to continue In
Active service, be was transferred to the Vete
ran Reserve Corps, and was in command of the
depot camp at Harrlsburg, after that, of tbe
camp of Rebel prisoners at Elmlra, and subse
quently of tbe depot camp at Springfield, Illi
nois. For gallant conduct on the Held he was
breveted Brigadier-General.
I append acopyot a letter of that gallant
soldier, Major-Ueneral Griffin, United States
army, whloh will satisfy any one in regard to.
General Prevost's military record:

From the moment the first sun was tired
apon Fort Sumter to the present General Prevost

The Fire at the Good Intent Mills Loss
IZO.OOO.T-Xbe Good Intent Mills are located on
the West Chester road, opposite tbe Pennsyl
vania Hospital for toe Insane. 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. This Is partially covered by lnsuranoe
In New York and Baltimore companies. The
building was not damaged seriously, and Is
tully covered In the city companies.

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.

The Bitters have become a household friend.
