Philadelphia, August 80, 1867. Growing Reputation, If the entire corres pondence from South America, Central Ame rica, and the West Indies, received by Messrs. Hostetter & Smith during the last twelve months, were published at length, it would probably be considered one of the most extra ordinary collections of approbatory testimony on record. The letters, written in every variety of style, and emanating from Individuals of almost every class, are, nevertheless, all of the same tenor. Pbyslolans, priests, merchants planters, military officers, artisans, lawyers, etc., tell one story, admitting, without reserve or qualification, that the tonics heretofore in use In those regions have been generally and justly superseded by Hostettek's Bitters. The confidence manifested by the people of these countries might be fairly ca'.led enthusi astic. Yet these are not the only tokens of the growing popularity of Hostettek's Stomach Bitters. The foreign orders for the article from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, East Indies, Cape of Good Hope, Sandwioh Islands, etc, have been heavier than at any former period. As an antidote to malaria, a stomaohio, and general lnvigorant, they all testify to its re markable efficiency. The most valuable of the presents to be dis tributed by the Washington Library Company, organized in aid of the Riverside Institute, are worth $40,000, $20,000, $18,000, $15,000, $10,000, $T000, $2500, $1000, $500, and so on. Dr. Jayns's alterative is a Standard Medicine a compound of those articles which long experience has proven to nossess the most safe and efficient alterative and deobstruent properties, and containing no concealed pol anna, no mercurial or other metallic prepara tions. Having beiore us tne testimonials oi thousands of persons who have been restored to sound heaitn from its use, it is recommenaea to the afflicted with entire confidence la the belief that It will effectually eradicate from the human system the diseases for whose cure It Is flofillrnMl. For Purifying the Blood, the Alterative Will be found to oe a most eneouve meaicine. Acting directly on tbe circulation. It purines the blood, and passes with it Into every tissue and fibre of tbe body, removing every particle nf iinpftse rrom tne system. FoRSCROFULA.ln all its lorms.whether Ulceraf Hons of the Meth or ones, EnXaraement ot the .Taints. Glands, towellings. Eruptions. Tumm, etc. tbe Alterative has been found pre-eminently successful. By its action on tne Diooa. it ae- stroys the virus or poisonous principle irom ucnien inose diseases orieinaie. For Skin Diseases, the immediate cause oi which will nearly always De iouna to oe an obstructed state of the pores, Jaynb's Altera- tivi is a certain remedy, it not only removes the obstinate state of tbe pores, but it frees tbe blood and perspiration from ail impurities ana gross particles wnicn are so name to oosiruui tne small perspiratory vesNeis.

If they bad been wise, the dire necessity of opening the graVe for one so lovely might have been averted. Plantation Bitters, if timely used, are sure to rescue the young and lovely, the middle-aged, and the ailing, from confirmed sickness. Almost all diseases have their beginning In some slight difficulty of the stomach, which would eventuate in Dyspepsia, Headache, Liver Complaints, Night Sweats, Consumption. Death. Plantation Bitters will prevent these premonitory symptoms, and keep the blood pure and tbe health good. While they invigorate the system, they en liven the mind. Magnolia Water.

The Brazilians Abandon Carina for New Move up the Parana How the Strategic Change Took Place Ths Paraguayans Already Fortified Against ths Diew Stove. Rio Jakeiro. Auk. 1. To employ the lan- Ruage of one of your contemporaries, wiiue re- lectins' the simile ana aetestinir tne itram mar, "the eye ot tue puouo nas Deen on tiptoe of expectation" iu reference to a ereat victory that was anticipated by the Brazilian arms over tbe Paraguayans. I say Brazlliau, because thealliance n longer practically exists. The French packet, which brought news from the seat of war to the 7th ultimo, reports nothing to mitigate the feverish feeling whioh has taken possession of an minus lor tue last lew weeks. On the contrary, she has Increased the anxiety with which we await steamers from the river Plate. At Montevideo information was ex pected oi a general battle, whioh was to take SI ace under tbe lead of the General-in-Chief, larques de Caxias. On tne zaouniy tue uurou rorio Aiecre naa an interview with the Admiral on board the flagship. It has leaked out slnee that the Mar ques aeeiareu mm ne was boiuk to aoanuon nut encampment and proceed to the spot where be was to meet tbe Baron tie Herral, his troops carrying rations for three days. It appears also that x3aron roruj Aiegre was ot opinion tnat they should await the arrival of Ueueral Mitre, with his six thousand promised troops, as he thought it rashness to penetrate further Into tne enemy s territory witn only twenty-seven thousand men the present available force of the allies f?). A heavy rain commenced on tne ou, m consequence or which the intended movement of the Marques was not carried out. On tbe same day six steamers arrived at Curnzu, from Paso de Patrta, to laae away tne remaioaer oi tne forces, including tne aruuery, as it was deter mined to aDanuon mo position. x seems mat the Paraguayans, aiseovenng tue projected operations of tbe Brazilians, opened a tremen dous fire on tbe latter, killing and wonndlng a considerable number of them. Carrying out his determination, on tne sin me .Marques de Caxias abandoned and reduced to ashes bis encampment, to tne sorrow oi tue brave fellows who at a great sacrifice once conquered this fine position. On the 5th the fleet continued to move. The fighting ships in the rear ascenaea tne river a suori uisiaace, and tbe pontoons, transports, and floating bat tery With Otner vessels, leu uuca iruiu iuruzu. In order to facilitate operations, tbe fleet was now formed Into three divisions.

The report of Assistant Attorney-General Binokley is regarded here as a weak and puerile argument on the Sickles case, de signed to bolster up the Administration, by making it appear that Siokles was resisting the lawfully constituted authorities, and to set up his own will above the orders of his supe riors. A general desire is expressed to see the correspondence between Grant and Sickles on the subject, which it is thought will put an entirely different face on the matter. The real cause for Sickles' removal has not yet been given, and will never be fully known until this correspondence is brought to light. Sickles' friends here say he will give a fall statement of the whole case after his arrival in New York, which he can do then without im propriety. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
