Miss Kate Vanderelice of Pottsville, saVs,"l was
benefited more by using the Phoenix Pectoral than
any other medicine I ever weed."
,Elite Oberhellier, Lionville, Chester county, .Was.
cisred of a cough of many years' standing by using the
Phoenix . Pectoral.
Joseph Lukens, of Hall street, Phoenixville, certifies
that he was cured of a cough of two. years standing,
When , all other medicines had failed, by - the use of the
Phoenix Pectoral.
, Jacob Powers certifies that he has sold hundreds of
'bottles of the Phoapix Pectoral, cod that all who, used
it bear testimony of Its wonderful effects In curing
coughs.
John Italer, editor of the independent .Phrecia, hav
ing used it, has no hesitation In pronouncing it a com
plete remedy for cough, hoarseness and irritation In
the throat.
The West Chester jefferscmian says :
"We have known Dr. Oberholtzer personally a
nuniber of years, audit gives us the greatest pleasure
to recommend his medicines, inasmuch as the public
rarely have the benefit of family medicines prepared by
a phytician &his acquirements and experience.
• • "Dr; Oberhoitzer is a member of the Alumni o the
3ledical Department at the University of Pennsylvania,
itt'which institution he graduated in 1834."
, • Pozrerown, January 3d, 1865. '
This certifies that I have used the Phoenix Pectoral
in my; family , and I recommend it to the public as the
very hest remedy for Coughs and Colds that I have
eveettied. One of my children was taken with a cold
accompanied with a Croupy Cough ; so bad indeed that
it whin not talk or scarcely breathe. flaying heard
so utneh said about the Phoenix Pectoral I procured a
battle Of ff. The first dose relieved the diffienity.of
breathing and before the child had taken one-fourth of
the bottle it was entirely well. Every family should

The 26th was a • noble •regiment

Arch has sent, (thanks to the indefat

against accursed and perjured trai
t:ors. No braver men ever drew
breath, than its gallant members.—
Officers . and men appeared to vie
With each• other in their patriotic de-

were willing to do our share of fight

Some poet; or poetaster, (it mat

gress sufficiently to utter in the name
of humanity, my solenin protest,
against this legalized slaughter, to
which our traveling community are
yearly subjected. Hufulreds of pre
cious lives 'are daily' t the mercy of
the legions of stray cattle : which in-
,felt every by-way,' public road,_and
railway of the Commonwealth. Our
siater State, New York, has efficient
ly guarded against this prolific source:
'of evil ; and for any species of cattle
- to . be allowed to stray beyond the, in
closures of their owner,, incurs upon.
Them a prompt and heavy penalty.
So should it be in our own State, and
.we hope oar . august Legislature will
ere long remedy ;this evil. .
Had the accident , occUrred a few
seconds sooner' we should' all have
bean precipitated down an embank
inept of upwards of 40 or 50 feet.- -
The smashing up of the engine and a
fevi cars, .necessarily made us bivouac
for - the night there. The ebon clouds
which had been for some days gather
ing, commenced to pour
: down th.e
rain in torrents. But war is some
thing stern, dark and: bitter. No
gathering of festive men for holiday
amusement, hut. the concentration •
suffering ~ and hardship. Nirell had
'we known, that we: must resign home
'comforts, when we started for the
field ; and well I know, that not one
.of those braVe men in our .regiment

inconveniences, compared with the
sufferings of the noble army of the
Potomac, when pressed by rebel
herds on the Swamp' bound banks of
the James ; or when confronted by
Stone Wall's 30,000 veterans, amidst
the desolating, withering fire of hell,
which was poured upon our decima
ted .ranks, at . the i ulaughter-strewn
field : of Chancollorsville ? The boys
endeavored to•rnake the best - of a dis
agreeable situation, and amidst : the
sound of song, and the blaze of cheery
camp fires we . slowly sank into the
embraces of the somnific deity-the
kindly Morpheus.
We remained in our involputarily
chosen encampment for only ten
hours,. 'When we were ordered - by
Major Haller, commanding the ,PoSt - ,
to advance to Cashtown, at the foot
of the. South Mountain. Hero were
we; one lone regiment .of Infantry,

commenced their march for the Sus

after bravely combatting superior

but rather that any of us even es

The road had by . this time-been
rendered almostimpassable by means
of :continuous rains; producing a mud
to be rivalled in consistency only by
the plastic mire of the sacred soil of

continued to pour down in intermina

subsequently ascertained 11,000 In

I nearly 40
_pieces_ of artillery. We
were immedia.tely Orcleroct-tm cr ane, Arri
it was getting ~l ively for the boys."
A retrogade movement was com
menced—through' ye fields and by
ways—notv almost totally impassa
ble on account of mud. Some of the
more weakly constituted, began to
find well-filled knapsacks not so pleas
ant as might have been desired, and
loitered in the rear with a feW of their
stronger comrades to assist them.--
Whilst this rear squad, number;
ing no less than 160 men, were re
freShing themselves—We were sur
prised by an unexpectedly visit by
about 1500 nib. Cavalry-Lwhom be
ing evidently desirous of forming
a more intimate acquaintance with
our agreeable selves, we felt .hound
to entertain as well as our limited
means, of amusement would permit.
The result of a ten minutes acquain
tance was, however, not so agreeable,
for-.all of whom except S. Moore and
myself were taken prisoners, and
much to theirdiscomfitUre were march:
ed back to Carlisle barefooted. This
occurred at 10 o'clock, A. M., and
from that time until 7 P. M., we as
sidiously enjoyed ourselves' in the fa
vorite stragetic operation known as
a change of base, which if not con.;
ducted upon as , g . large a scale, as has
been frequently. the case upon the
Rappalitnnock, was
.s far more inter- •
citing to us perfionally, than any; of
those eelebrated historic movements
of Me'Clellan, Burnside, or. Fighting
Soo. During all this perilous flight,
we were not free from the presence
of grey backed soldiers, whose idea

worn-down-steds, they were' unable
to out run us in our precipitate flight
across thickets and woods, which de
fied their efforts to penetrate with
rapidity, they still could shoot, and
we thought so too, by the frequent
whiz and buzz of their bullets. At
one time, just as we had congratulat
ed ourselves, that w.e had finally dis
tanced their advance, and throWnthe
pursurers off the trail, we emerged
.from the woods, in which we were
concealed, but to our amazement, we
found a regiment of White Cavalry
drawn up in a :line,' not over three
hundred yards from the .spot where
we stood. The Corn mending officer
ordered us to surrender. The reply
was "you are not -our Commander
hence take us if you can," as we per
formed evolution, distinguished the
hest as "right about face." They re
plied by a sharp volley of bullets,
from which we escaped by throwing
upon the . ground'.
