We call the attention of ell having relations and

Gemitan Bitters" will cure nine tenths of the diseases
induced by exposures and privations incident to camp
life. in the lists, published almost daily its the news
papers, on the arrival of the s. , elt, it will be noticed
that a very large proportion are suffering from debili
ty. Every ease 01 that kind tun be readily cured by
lloolland's German Bitters. Diseases resulting from
disorders of the digestive orgaJos ttreepeedily reinoved.
We have no hesitation in stating that, it these Bitters
Were freely used among our soldiers. hundreds of lives
might be saved that otherwise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the following re

nation's heroes,whose life, to use his own language,
"has been saved by the Bitters:"

member of Sherman's zelebrated battery, and under
the immediate command of Captain It. B.
Tbroug4 the cipostire attendant upon my arduous du
ties, I Was attacked in November last with inflammation
of the lungs, and was fur seventrtwo days in the hos
pital. This was followed by great nobility, heighten
ed by en attack of dysentery. I was then removed
from the White House, and sent to this city on board
she Steamer "State of Maine" from which I-landed
on the 25th of June. Since that time I have been a
bout as low as any one could be and still retain a spark
of vitality. pora week or niece 1 was scarcely able to

was immediately thrown up again.
I could not even keep a glass of water oat my stom

end, accordingly, the, phyliicians-who had been work
ing faithfully, though unsuccessfully, to rescue me
from the grasp of the dead Archer, frankly MU me
they could do on more for me, and advised me to see
a clergyman, and to make such disposition of my limi
ted funds as best suited tne. An acquaintance who
visited use at the hospital, Mr. Frederick 'Stehibron,
Sixth below Arch Street, ad,-iced me, as a tbrlorn
hope, to try your Bitters, and kindly procured a hot

gloomy shadow of death receded, and I am now, Cmnk
God for it, getting bettor.- Though I have but taken

is it that the money-lender, the mod-:

We buy it partly out of patriotism,

iIONKEI IN CHURCH,
There was once an eminent clergy
man by the name of Cassaubon, who
kept in his fitmily a tame monkey, of
which he was very fond. This
ani
anal, which was allowed its liberty,
liked to follow the minister when he
went out, but on the. Sabbath was
usually sbut up till his owner was
out of sight, on his Way to eltuAli.—
But one 'Sabbath : Morning, when the
clergyman, taking his sermon under
'his arm, went out, the 'monkey follow
ed him unobserved, and watchipg,ffte
opportunity while . his :it - aster . Was
speaking to . ft gentleinan ou the steps,
rgn.up at the baek of the pulpit, and
`juMped Upon the sounding board.—
Here he gravely seated .himself, look
ing round in a knowing manner on
the congregation, who were greatly
amused at so stratfge sPectacle.—
The services: proceeded as usual,
While the monkey, who evidently.
'much enjoyed,the, sight of 'so Many
people, occasionally peeped over the,
sounding board, to observe the move
ments of his'master, who was uncon
scious of his .presence. When the
sermon commence i d many little forms
Were convulsed with lauTghter, Which
conduct so shocked the good pastor,
lhat'he thought it his duty to admin
ister a reproof, which he did with con
siderable action' of his hands. and'
arms. The monkey who had now
become familiar with the scene,. imi
tated every motion, till at last a .
scarcely suppressed smile appeared
.upon-the countenance of most of the
audience. This occurred, too, in one
of. the most solemn passages in the
'discourse ; so hprrible ,did the
leVity appear.tO the good minister,
'that he launched forth into violent
rebuke, every word being enforced'
by great energy of action. All this
time the little
fellow overhead mim
icked every movement with ardor
and exactness. The audience,
nessing the aPparent competition be
t Ween the good man, and his monkey,
.could no longerretain_the least ap
pearance of composure, and burst in
to roars.of laughter; in the midst of
which One of the congregation kindly
relieved the borrop, ot:. the pastor at
the irieVerence, and iiiipiety of his
flock, by pointing out the cause Ape
merriment. 4astingbis eyes iipwaH,
the :minister could just ,discern the
animal standing on the, end ..of.tlie
sounding-board, and gesturing With
all his might, when he found it diffi
cult to control biinself, though highly
exasperated. at .the' occurrence. He
gave,dircetions to hive the. monkey
removed, and sat down to compose
himself,:and allow his congregation
to recover their equanimity while- thAY
order was being obeyed:

[Correspondence of the Herald_)
FORTRESS MONROE, April 9.—A
most desperate and daring attempt
to destroy the United States steam
frigate Minnesota, Bear Adp*al Lee's
flag ship, off Newport, News,:,was
made this morning, which wl4le.it
did not materially damage the ship,
Caused considerable excitement among
the officers and crew. - The facts; as
near as I can get at them, are as fol
lows : Shortly before four bells
were struck the lookout observed a
small black „speck approaching the
Minnesota. Thinking that it was
ifloating sPar, he watched it,
arid. when it finally neuxed..,:the. ship
:he saw that it was -a boat „coataining
three ; ,,men,,
.haib:rd them, three
times, and finally threatening to fire
on them, to which they answered de
risively, "Fire and -be damned."—
The small boat boldly pushed on to
wards the frigate, and a few moments
after an explosion, similar to the re
port of twenty pieecs of artillery fol
lowed.. Officers rind. crew w,ere,iain
.Nprxent of berths,
.and hammocks,
and the movable furnitiireg the ship
. ..riffled 'about in ..ft confused mass,
while the noble vessel trembled in
every joint Usif to shake off the ef
fects of a horrible shoot of paralysis.
As soon as order Was restored inquir
ies :Fkre niade by the officer as :to the
.cause of the disturbance, and.the,a
hove facts came to light. OrderS
were at once given to pursue the dar
ing rebels who had rim .. the, ganntlet
;of our picket boata.wi i th their infer
nal machine; and,when the Admiral's
despatch- tug, the Poppy, lying along
:si-de;of, th . e 'Mil-Meseta,. was hailed and
ordered in iursuit, ":tfie startling an
swer that she had no steam lip was
returned ; and the other small tugs
on picket were too far off to be of any
use, as the rebel marauders quietly
and rapidly disappeared in one of the
many creeks abounding on the banks
of the James river. The commander
of the tug was put under arrest to an
swer for his negligence in not keep
ing up steam on his boat at all times,
as required by the regulations.
The whole affair in wrapt in mys
tery, and no two persons attached to
the Minnesota can be found to agree
in their stories, and thus givea satis
factory account Of t the facts conne4-
ed
. with it. There is great raloM;fOr

THE LATE RIOT IN ILLINOIS.
The Abolition press are endeavor
ing to throw the whole responsibility
of the late riot at Charleston, Illinois,
upon the citizens, but the investiga
tion bad in the ease shoWs that it
was brought on by some drunlpen
soldiers making, an attack on Mr:
Wells, "a
eitAieu,, who ti 'is 'standing
near the:cot:lit hc'USe. Mr. Wells was
pointed out to them as Ta copperhead,
when some fifteen or. twenty. Made a
rush for him. Several of them seized
him. Pistols were drawn on both
sides. Mr. Wells wai:shq
one of .tlae soldiers. Atra:py of Mr.
WV'sfriends went to hisresene,'and
in the: fight that eustied -four soldiers
were killed, and twelVe cir fifteen 'per
son§ including citizens and soldiers,
Were woapded. 4.portion of the sol 7
diers, instigated poine.hrtd.,men,
bad perpetrated many outrages dur
ingeaVval days proceeding the fatal
affray in Charleston. One citizen
was: badly beaten that morning by, s.
Seldier, without any provocation, and
bad been rewarded by a present of a
pair of boots from one of the naive
fomenters of strife. On Saturday
previous to the affray, two citizens
from the country were attacked by
Soldiers in Clarkston, and with great
difficulty made their escape from a
murderous assault. A few evenings
before an old gentleman, a laborer,
after having retired to bed, was as- .
saulted by a couple of these soldiers,
with, pistols, and compelled to go with
under pretc3:t th'at he Vio re
quired to take some sort of; bath:,--
On the Way they assaulted him and
beat him very severely. Many per
sons „ were forced by them tp.take
sonic sort of oath. The conduct.of
few of these soldiers, under the influ
ence of liquor and urged on 1;y
. 11 .fv.w
of the, citizens, had prodneesl ,a, per
feet reign of terrOr 14,,Cliiirle . stou and
vicinity. Monday, the day of the af
fray, being the first Au, of the Cir
cuit Court ; brought agreat many peo
ple to town. When attacked, they
fought. It would be proper to add
that a majority of the soldiers Were
sober, and conducted themselves with
propriety ; . and that most of the cal
of all parties, disapproved of the
mithiges referred to.
