ALTOONA. PA
HTEPNiSSDAI, MAY 18, 1864
The Situation.
The crowd of telegrams have somewhat
abated in the daily papers, during the past
few days, in consequence of the cessation
of hostilities, for a.liine, oh the road to
Richmond. I After ten days of the most
terrible fighting ever known in the annals
of war, Gen. Grant has paused for a few
days, partly on account of the almost im
passible condition of the roads, in conse
quence of tiie late rains, and partly to al
low his men a season of rest after their i
herculean, heroic and victorious labors |
Ere he did so, however, be had succeeded S
in pushing Lee from all hie strong positions |
and sending his arfny bode on Richmond
defeated, confused and dispirited. We
have looked over the lists of killed and
Wounded, hut they are so megre and imper
fect that we cannot make out the names of
any from this section who have fallen. —
Among the officers killed, we notice that of
Col. 'Geo. Dare, :of the fifth Reserves. Col.
Dafe was from: Huntingdon county and
was known to many of our citizens. No
better officer led his men into that fight,
no truer gentleman oould be found, and no
braver roan or firmer patriot fell in that
sanguinary strife.
i Gen.ShCridan, in command of tlie cav
alry forcesj has been entirely successful in
his raid ii|»on Lee’s communications with
Richmond, having destroyed several miles of
railroad, recaptured six hundred prisoners
which were being , sent to Richmond, and
' destroyed one million ratiops gtored at Bea
ver Dam. We also stormed and carried
the first line of entrenchments around Rich
mond, bi|t finding the force within the
• second top strong to be overcome with cav
alry, he. -{withdrew .and made his way to
the Peninsula where he joined Gen. But
ler’s forces. During his raid befell in
with Stuart’s rebel cavalry with whom he
had a fight, whipped them and Killed Gen.
Stewart, the leader. Of this latter fact
there can be' no mistake, as the Richmond
papers give an account of his funeral.
Qen,'Butter; has Beauregard penned up
at Petersburg, and seems determined to
keep him there. His forces, under Smith
andGihnore, are operating against Fort
• Darting jwith every prospect of finally car
ry fitat strong hold and opening the way
for our .gunboats to Kiehmond. A num
ber nf OausualtieS ir. the 76th regiment
are reported, showing that in this, as in all
other fights where it has been engaged, it
has taken a leading part.
Gen. Sherman is still pushing Johnston
back intoGeogia. Gn the fifteenth he hud
a fight at Resaca in which he was success
ful, The details are not given, but Gen.
Sherman says that our loss is in the neighbor
houdjqf Jailed wounded and missing.
' Everything whs progressing finely. The
railroad has heenrepaired; to within seven
miles of .the army.
It i£ reported that Lee is receiving hea
vy reipfprcenienps from Carolina.
This may be so, and again it may not be.
Gen'Grant is also being heavily reinforced.
When npjct he moves it I will be with an

Pay as You Go
The limes are prosperous.' Money is abundant,
and labor is well requited in every channel of indus
trv. Trade has an impetus hitherto unknow with
in the experience of the present active men; and
fortune seems :o smile hpon every one whose hand
is put. forth to welcome her. Our farmers have
had a succession of bountiful harvests, and their pro
ducts have commanded more than remunerating
prices. '
The present is ,u good time to guard agonist fu- ]
ture disaster. It is well lor all to pause at times i
and take their latitude, lor prosperity is as capri- 1
cious as the morning mists, and may vanish when ;
we least expect it. We do not predict early or cer
tain revolution ■ but as surely as night succeeds
dav, revolution, more or less terrible in its power, 1
must follow inflation : and if We rush on as if rich
harvests were to be and as if money <
were to be eyeti abundant, it needs no prophet to
foretel that disaster will come with the first depres
sion of the great business interests of the country.
Let the thoiightfnl man compare the present
with tlte habits and prudence of our people live
years ago. Then we shunned debt as the fruitful
'parent of ntiu—now every species of debt is re
garded with singular indifference. Counties, ipwn
shijts and boroughs, do not hesitate to contract
debts of startliiyj; magnitude to pay bounties to vol
unteers. True, jwc arc but doing our duty to our
government in exhausting our resources to sustain
its supreme and protecting power; but it should

the mistaken notion that they can 1* better tpaid i

should be to pay in the midst of revolutions isncli
as 18i)7 and 18(10 witnessed, or with a deranged j

at this time; and every dictate of prudence points

Soldiers: —The moment lias arrived whin you-

8,000 prisoners, including two General officers.
Your heroic deeds and endurance of fatigue and
privation will ever be remembered. Let us return

Liauility Of Telegraph Companies.—A
verdict was rendered in the New York Court of
Common Please, on Saturday, which establishes,
so far as the Court is concerned, a principle of
much importance in regard to the liability of
telegraph companies'for the accuracy of their dis
patches. It seems that a firm telegraphed to their
agents in New York to sell five hundred shares of
Southern Maehigan stock at the morning board,
and buy five hundred Hudson in. the afternoon.
The word “ Hudson” was omitted in the dispatch,
and five hundred Southern Maehigan were
bought. Tile result was a heavy loss to the ]un
ties who gave the order, and this loss was directly
due to the mistake in the transmission of tlte dis
patch. The.rcsidt was a verdict in favor of the
Claimants, thus establishing the principle that
telegraph companies are responsible, like other
common carriers, for the accuracy with which
they transmit the messages intrusted to them.

The Strength of the Contending
Armies,
The Boston Traveller, in discussing 1 ‘ the sit
uation,” mingles s|)cculation with fact as follows.
We think some of its figures are erroneous :
The weakness in numbers which the rebels
manifest elsewhere, leads to the belief that Lee's
army has been stronger than was supposed at
Washington. When General Grant moved across
the Rapidan, it was ascertained from what was
deemed good authority, that on this side ot the
Mississippi the rebels had about 260,01)0 men un
der arms. It was not supposed that even with
Longslreet’s reinforcements, Lee had more than
85,000 men. If he had not more than this num
ber, fully one-half of them must have been used
up before lie retreated on Thursday night from
the lino of the I’o river at Spottysvania.
It is quite probable from the desperate resistance
which Lee made, and the good order in which lie
retreated on Thursday night, after a hard day’s
fight and the wreck of Hill* corps on the morning
of that day, that he must have been more largely
reinforced than was supposed, and that he had
100.000 men. If the troops from Carolines had
reached him, which seems possible from the fact that
Beauregard is demonstrating so feebly in Butler’s
department, he may have had 110,000 men, but it
every available man within call had joined him, it
is not supposed that he could have had more than
120,000.
As the plan and condition of the campaign have
now passed to such a stage that new combinations
ami new organizations will be made, it is not im
-1 pru[H‘r to say that Grant’s array was divided into
j four eorjis. w hich, as they had been newly organi
i zed. were undoubtedly full, aud in round numbers
may be set down at 40,000 men each, or 100,000
in all. Assuming, however, that they were not
full, and it is almost impossible to keep even a
regiment full for even forty-eight hours after it is
organized, we may call the corps 36,000 each and
reduce the total from 100,000 to 140,000.
Of the whole number of Grunt’s army, probably
40,000 have been, as the military men say, put
hors da combat, or out of the fight. He has, how
ever, lieon reinforced, since the battle of flHors
day, by 12,000 Western veterans sent from Wash
ington* on the morning of Wednesday, under Crit
tendon, accompanied by five other capable gen
ends—Tyler, Lockwood, Roberts, Grose and Dc
Trobraid’. As there was a good supply of gener
als, the six who go out with these reinforcements
will be sufficient to fill the places of the twelve
who have l>ecn killed, wounded and taken priso
ners, though the loss of so many brave and veteran
generals as have fallen, is a very serious and mel
ancholy event.

STOMACH
BITTERS.
A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective and alterative, of
wonderful efficacy iu disease of the

IMdlity.'Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, Const!
Htion, CoiUc. Intermittent Fevefs, Cramps and
Spasms, and all Complaints of either Sex.
arising Irom Bodily Weaknens, whether
inherent in the system or produced
liy special causes.
Nothing that is dbt wholesome, geui U ami restorative
iu lu nature enters Into the composition of HOSTKTTKK'*
STOMACH BITTKRB. This iiopular preparation contain*-
no mineral of any kind; uo deadly botanical element; uu
fiery excitant: but it is a combination of the extract* ol
rare balsamic herb* and plants with the pureat and mild
est of all diffusive stimulants.
It is weli to be forearmed against disease, and, *o fisr as
tbo human system can be protected by Truman queans
against maladies engendered by an unwholesome atijio
sphere, impure water and other external causes. UOSI'F-1
TKU’S STOMACH BITTBHS may relied on i.s a saft
guard.
In districts infect**! with J»Vt*/• and Ague, It ha* btvn
oond infallible a* a preventive a*d irresistible a« a reme
dy, and thousands who resort to it under apprehension of
an attack, escape the scourge; and thousands who neglect
to avail themselves of its protective qualities in advance,
are cured by a very brief course of this marvelous modi
due. Fever and Ague patients, after being plied with
quinine for mouths in vain, until fairly soturaled with
that dangerous alkaloid, are not unfrequently restored to
health within a-few days by the use of lIOSTKTTKH S
BITTERS.
The weak stomach neap idly invigorated and the appe
tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and lienee if works
wonders in cases of Dyspepsia and in less confirmed fonm
of Indigestion. Acting as: gentle and painless appertain
as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the
Constipation superinduced by Irregular action of the di
gestive and decretive organs.
Person* of feeble habit, liable to Nervous Lovnif. *
of Spirits and Fits of Languor , find prompt and perma
nent relief the Bitters. • The testimony ou this point
is 1110*1 conclusive, and from both aoxes.
The agony of BiLUot's Colic is immediately u unged by
a single* dose of the stimulant, arid by occasional,y resort
ing to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented
Asa General Tonic. UOSTBTTER’S BITTERS produce
effects which must be experienced or witnessed, belore
they can be fully appreciated. Incases of CbnrfifittMMUi /
HroA-wew, Premature Decay and Debility and Decrepi
tude arising from Old Age, it exercises the electric influ
ence. In the convalescent stages of all diseases it oper
ates as a delightful invigorant. When the powers of na
ture are relaxed, it operates to ro-euforce and re-estab
lish ic.
Lust, hut hot least, it is The only Safe Stimulant, being
manufactured from sound and innocuous materials, and
entirely freq from the acid elements present more or less
in all the ordinary tonics and su-machics of the day.
No family medicine has been so universally, and, it may
be truly added, deservedly popular with the intelligent
portion of the community, as HOSTETTER’S BITTERS.
