BKVEBLT. July 12. Yesterday morning
Gen. McClellan ordarel four regiments (the
Bth, 10th, and 13th Indiaou, and tha 19 h
Ohio) to proceed along the Hoe of the bills
southeast of the enemy's eutreneheJ camp, ou
the Beverly road, where it crosses Rich's
Mountain, two miles east of the enemy's po
sition, with orders to advance along the Bev
erly road, and attjek the east side of the work
Gen. o .lellan M being prepared to assault
the west side as soon as the firing should an
nounce the coniDionceujtTit of ilie attack.
The capture of * courier, who mistook the
road through the enemy's enmp for tha route
of otjr troops, placed the enemy iu possession
of the movement.
When Gen Rosenerwrl reached the Beverly
toad, at two o'clock, after a most exhausting
inarch over tho mountain*; he-found the eue
my posted on the opposite si in of tho road,
aboii' 800 strong, with two cannons, holding
a strong position, paitiaily fortified. Au
engagement immediately tok place, aud Con
tinued for 'hree-quartors of an hour, when
♦he rebels were tot illy routed, with a loss of
300, including ten officers and both caunon.—
About 75 of the killed and 75 wnuuded are
in our ban-.-, besides 100 prisoners.
The road was between two bills. Our
troop*, -Icsccuding a steep declivity, were
gre <tly exposed to tha fire of the rebels, who
occupied the opposite hill, and poured their
musketry shot, and shell upon thein.
Gen. Ro*enorantz' column remained at the
place of the engagement during tho i: ; sht.
Gen. McClelUn was in poeitiou with bis
whole force during the afternoi-u, ready to
make the assault, but heard uothing from the
other column except distaut firing eatlv ia the
morning.
lie was proceeding to plant his catsnon up
on au corneDce oommanding a portion of the
rebel camp, and preparing to atteek the whole
nest in froct, when it was ascertained that the
enemy had evacuated the-pi ace during the
night, moving '"wards Laurel Bill, leaving >
few men with their sick, and their cannon,
eq" p-ge and transportation :
A tapid march was then made by General
McClellan to Beverly, passing General Rosen
cron'i' command on the road, with instiuctiou*
to follow quickly.
At Beveriy it was ascertained, Lte in the
dav, that the rebel forces at Laurel Hill had
retreated, moving towards Romney. Our to
tal !-** is not more thau 11 killed and So
wounded.
The foregoing report has been approved by
Gen. McClellan.

Their retreat is complete.
"I occupied Beverly bv * r.pi 1 march.—
Garuett abandoned his camp early iu the
m.irntug, leaving much of his equipage. He
cauie witbio a few miles ef Beveriy, but our
rapid march tamed him hack io great confu
sion, and he is uovr retreating on the road to
St. George. 1 have ordered Gen. Aiorris to
follow him up closely.
'•t have telegraphed "for the t*n Pennsylva- <
tiia regimen's at Cumberland toj.on Gen. Hill i
at Rivtlcabnrg. The general is concentrating
ail hie troops at Rowlesborg, and be will cut
off Gsroett's retreat near West Union, or, if
possible, a'. St. George.
"I may say that we have driven out some ten
thousand troops, strongly entrenched, with the
loss of 11 killed and 35 wovnded. The pro*
vision returns bere show Garnett's force to
have been ten thousand men. They were Eas
tern Vuginians, Ter.nesseans, and Georgians,
and, 1 think, Corolinians. Tc-morrow I can
give full details, as to prisoner*, k*.
'•1 trust that General Cox has, tiy this time,
driven Wiseoatof the Kanawha Valley. Iu
that case I shall have accomplished tte object

When be is it is through a mistake as to bow

opinion.
O.NE OF THE HUMANITARIAN MOVEMENTS OF
OUR TIMES although little kuown as such, can !
hardly be over estimated in its importance up- \
on the well beiDg of our widely scattered j
communities. The population of the Ameri*
can States is in many sections so sparse, that
skilful Physicians are hardly available to
them. Vast numbers of out people, are
obliged to employ in sicknesa, such medical (
reiief as they can hear of from each othoa-, or
iudeed any they can get from any quarter. —
Hence arises the great consumption of Patent
Medicines among us, greater by f*r than in •
any of the old countries, where skilful physi
cians are accessible to all classes. Unprinci
pled men have long availed themselves of
necessity, to palm off their worthless nos
trum*, until tbe word has bocomo synonymous
with imposition and cheat. One of our lead
ing Chemists in tbe East, Da. AYKR, is parr i
suing a course which defeats iuiquity. He !
brings not only bis own, but the best skill of
our times to boar, for tbe production of tbe
best remedies wbiab can be made. These are
supplied to tbe world, in a convenient form,
at lew prices, aud the people will no uiorc buy
poor medicines instead of good, at tha same
oost, than they will bran instead of flour, j
The inevitable conseuuenaj of this is, that tbe
vile compounds that flood our country are disj j
carded for those which honestly accomplish j
the end in view,— which euro. Do we over- ,
estimate its importance, in believing that this j
prospect of supplanting the by-word medicines,
with those of actual worth and virtue, is i
fraught with immense consequence for good, '
to the misses of our people.—[Gazette and 1
Chronicle, Peru, la.
TLe fifteen reserve regiments of fennsyl
vania have been accepted by the govern*
men*.—A dispatch dated St. Louis, July 13,
says, that the rebels lost 700 killed in the lato
battle between tbe loyalists and traitors in
that State.—Seveial piratioal privateers have
been committing depredations upon our coins

i delivered, reviewing some of the causes which lead
Ito the present difficulty. The address was spirited;
tnat portion which protested against cofnproniiseiug
with traitors, was received with vocder >uscheering.
Ibe band then played "The Star Spangled Ban
ner/' " Ynikee Do<>die," and "The Bed. 'Vliito and
Blue." The proceedings were v-ry spirited ami
the utmost good feeling prevailed. We were til -n
' dismissed, and in the aiteruoou went up into the
[ city, where the proceedings were magnifi cut, there
j being the grandest display ol bunting it has been
i our lot to witness, as nearly every house had ihe
I flag flying to the breeze. The city was crowded
i with people, and the booming of cannon, was heard
i all day. • Young America"' too performed his part
: well, fire crackers, t.irpedoes, rockets and pistols

We received a very handsome present from Mr.
J. B. Cnslnerol a box ol provisions which came
quite appropriate, us a contained quite a quantity
ot sweet cake, an 1 souie very nicr poaches, which
you know are luxuries not often enjiyed, by the

dissatisfaction prevails among the men, on this ac
count, as many came away expecting to be uniform

brought an insufli ieiit quantity ct clothing with
them to lust until the present. We ave the assurance
however tt at this debet will be remedied this week,
as the uniforms will l.e furnished for Ihe uiiiiiv I

IS THE ONLY KNOWN REMEDY FOR j
Rheumatism, <aout and Neuralgia, j
AND A sCKE CURE FOR
JILL MERCURIAL DISEASES.
It is a conveniently arranged Band, containing
medicated compound, to be worn around tbo W ,ist,
without it jury to the moat delicate pel sons, no
change in habits of living is required, and it en
tirely removes the disease from the system, with
out producing the injurious effects arising form the
use of powerful internal medicines which weaken
and destroy the constitution, and give temporary
relief only. By this treatment, the medicinal pro
prieties contained in the Band, come IU contact
with the blood and reaches the disease, through the
por-is ot the akin, effecting in every instance a
perfect cure, and restores the parts afflicted to a
healthy condition. This band is also a most pow
erful ASTI-M ERCVRIAL agent, and will entirely re
lieve the system from the pernicious effects
of Mercury. Moderate cases are cured in a few
days, ano we are constantly receiving testimonials
of its i flicacy in aggravated cases of lung standing.
PRICE $2,00, to be had of Druggists generally, oi j
can be sent tiy mail ot express, with full directions '
for use, to any part of the country, direct from
the Principal Office.

' Ayer's Sarsaparilia
j A compound remedy, in which we hare la
bored to produce the most effectual alterative
that can be made. It is a concentrated extract
of Para Sarsaparilia, so oombincd w.th other
substances of still greater alterative power aa
to afford an effective antidote for the disease*
Sarsaparilia is reputed to cure. It is believed
that such a remedy is wanted by those who
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that on*
which will accomplish their cure must prov*
of immense service to this large class of our
afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this
compound will do it has been proven by exper
iment on many of the worst cases to be found
of the following complaints:
Senorrha AND SCROFULOUS COIIPIA*!*,
ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, CLOSES,
PIMPLES. BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT KKZUK,
SCALD HISAD, SYPHILIS AXD STPHILITIC Ar-
MCTIONS, MEECTKIAL DLSEAS3, DROPSY, NEU
RALCIA OR TIC DOULOUREUX, DEBILITY, ' DYS
PEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, BOSS
on ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from IMPURITY or
THE BLOOD.
This compound will be found a great pro
mote of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorder*
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sere*, through which the system will strivo to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
j by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions*
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
felt, people enjoy tetter health, and live
longef, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, mid all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something •
must go wrong, end the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthiown.
Sarsaparilia has. and deserves much, the
reputation, of accomplishing those ends. But
the world has been ogreziously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
•lone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilia,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilia for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
'■ they not only contain little, if any, bawapa
rilla, but often no curative properties wbatev
j er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has follow erl the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilia winch hood the market, until tho
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilia, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue th*
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irrcsistibl*
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is in ten d
| ed to cure. In order to secure thair complet*
eradication from the system, the remedy should
\ be judiciously taken according to directions on
the battle.
