We call the attention of all haying relritionli and

induced by exposures and privations incident to camp
life. in the lists, published almost daily in the news
papers', en the arrival of the s: n cit, It will be noticed
that a very large I:wound:kin' are suffering from debili
ty. Every clues or that kind min ho readily cured by
liocifloidi's C- - ernia:» Bitters. Diseases resulting from
disorders of the digestive organs are speedily removed.
We have no hesitation in...stating that, if these Bitters
were freely used among out Soldiers, hundredrotlives
might be saved that otherwise wilt be lost.
Wr call portictilar attention to the following re

were fully cognittant of all the circuinstancei of my
case I am, and' have been for the last four Years, a
member of ' Sherinan's zelehre.ted battery, and under
the immediate eorinnend - ef Captain It: B. Ayres—
Threugh the exposure attendant upon my arduous du
ties, I was attacked in November last with inflammation
of the lungs, and was for seventy-two days in the hod
pital. This wee felloWerl by great debility, heighten
' ed by an attack -of dysentery. 1 Was then _removed

she Steamer "State of diaine" from whicb I n tended
on the 2811 i of June. Since that time I have been a=
bout as low as any One could bo and still retain a spark
of vitality.. For a week or mere I Was scarcely able to
*allow anything, and 111 did force a noires' dirwit, it
wad immediately thrown up again.

and, accordingly, the physicians who had r been work.
lug faithfully, though unsoecessfully, to rescue me
' freetiAlle grasp of the dead Archer, frankly told me
they could do no more for me, and advised me to see
a clergyman, and to make such disposition of lay limi

visited me at thallospital, Mr. Fredelick stembron, n e,,
, Sixth help . * Arch Street, altised me, as a n forlorn
hone, to try Jour Bittere, and kindly precured a toot
le. From the time I commenced taking them the
gloomy shadow of death receded. and I ant now, thank
Hod for it, getting better. Though I have but taken
two bottles, 1 bare gwined ten Pounds, and I feel san
guine of being lit emitted to rejoin my wife and daugh

The recent terrible catastrophe in
Santiago recalls vividly to - my mind
one: of the most extraordinary adven
tures of my chequered life,. Five and
twenty years ago, I was Captain of
the Northern Light, a large schooner;
trading between Null and St. Peters
burg. .A long.acquaintance with the
vicissitudes- of the Russian cliMate
had made me somewhat reckless.--L--
The consequence Was, that one 30th
of OctOber I found -my vessel tight
locked in ice. I had stayed a 'week
too long, in my eagerness to take a
full cargo of timber, and I was justly
punished for My temerity ; a prisoner
till the middle or end of April, far a
way from my friends, and (thing what
a livery-stable-keeper would call"eat
ing my own head off."
Being, however, of a sanguine
nnt_and s
11 Fino i witut hOme,
_to Do.
make the best of it, and enjoy - roySdlt'
as well as I could. I saw all the
sights of St. Petersburg, froM Peter
the Great's wooden house down to the,
mammoth. I visited Moscow. I
went bear hunting. I. drove tihoutin
Sledges. I fell in love and fell out a
gain, Nor did I neglect business. I
frequently attended the Exchange,
and made myself known to the chief
tallow, hemp, and timber'mereliants.l
I studied Russian ; commerce: I ar
ranged, for cargoes for two years to
come: The Anglo,RusSians are very
hospitable. and thanks to the kindness
of Air. Anderson the English banker,
my hotel expenses were very small.
My fur coats were my chief expense ;
they cost ; me a large Suln then ; but I.
reckoned that they wouldlast me my
life, and so they haveatleastlwear
then to; this day.
Nevertheless, I pined for the hetir
of liberty: An idle life did not suit a
man of my teniperarnentanc who
had been at, sea ever since he,'•was
twelve gars 'old. Like all sailors, I.
was always grumbling against the
sea, and yet 1 waS Me TT. happy away
from At last 'the order of my re
lease conic: The ice on. the Nava,
opposite the custom house especially,
began to melt into thin bars 'an -inch
or so wide. It became dangerous, to
venture : on it ; except where it was
piled with snow. The ice slaps on
the quay began to break, when I
pushed them with my Stick, • into
glassy fragments. Ilere and there
some spaces began' to open, and dirty
brown snow water pooled on the
face. There had boen severat , warm
days; bat now rain and wind emine,
andsthey soon melted the wril is of my
crystal.prison. Sledges. still venter
ed on the Nava, thoughthe water rail
up to the horses knees.
Ono morning, when I looked out
of my window on the ground floor at
Miss Bensen's on the English
. quay,
the water had all gone from the sur
face of the ice ; and t4att, was the well
known sign that the' ice bad become
too porous and spongy to hold water,
and in a few hours would break away
from the banks and begin to float sea
ward.
I had just set down to' breakfast,
When a thunder peal of cannottbroke
,
out from the fortress
"What is that, _Miss : Benson ?" I
saidtto our hostess at the head of tbc
table:
"That." she replied; "is the signal
that the commander of th 4. citadel
with his officers, is crossing the river
to pr . osent the emperor at the .wintei
palace with a goblet of Nava water,
token of the return of spring. The
emperor will give him I the. cup ; bad

by the keen edged iced draught. I

were worth studying, now that they

a Greek contour. Every new and

the Russians could do in th'e.se mat

illuinination of the Kremlid at the
coronation of theEmperot4lexander

thoUght but of their own safety, oth

dragged forward their old mothers or
fathers, or bore their wiVea'or sWeet
hearts in their arms: Then camethe
grapple for life, the trampling 'Buffo:
eating battle for existence which only
served to hasten on death. • •
In many things .l am coward endugh,
but in midden danger I have always
found myself cool and collected. Per
haps a adildr's frequent hazards, and
the constant thought of the possibil
ity of death, is a sort of traiaing; per
haps it is a. constitutionalquality. I
ftnow not how it is. 'only state the
fact.—l saw immediately that though
for the moment safe, and far fron? the
full torrent of the atitiggle, my hopes
of escape were quite as desperate as
the hopes of those who were tramp
ling each other to death at the en
trance below. Unfortunately, one of
the great folding deers opened- in-,
ward. In the, first rush it had been
closed, and now the pressure was so
great i t could not move one way or the
other.
The flames were spreading rapidly,
the smoke rolled toward us in blind
ingelouds and froth these clouds dart
ed and leaped serpent tongueti of
fire. The flames seemed with cruel
greediness to spring frowseat to seat.
The slips were blazing, the orchestra
was a seething pit of- flee. The
screams and groans on all sides were
heart breaking. I hesitated amo
ment Vc hother to remain where I was'
and meet death, or to breast the ha
man whirlpool below. At that mo
ment a surge of flame ran along the
ledge of the next box to me, blacken
ing and blistering as it Went: The
heat grew intense. I determined to.
make one struggle for life. I ran to
the head of the stairs and looked
down. There, the herd of screaming
shouting people fought with hands
and feet in a horrible tangle of life
and death.
g,..we myself up for lost, when as
hand,seized my coat. It was the old
housekeepex, screaming her entrea
ties to me to save her'. told her to
cling to me and I would do what I
could. •
It gave me courage to think I was
struggling for soine one besides my
self. She kneelcid and prayed to God•
for us both. I had placed myself, at
the edge of the crowd in order to hus
band my Strength - for the last eftort.
One thing I deterthined, and that was
that I would not save myself by
treading poor women and childreu
under foot.--:Rathdr than .that,, I
would let the fire burn me slowly, or

scene was agonizing. Heaps of char
