Iteitf The cop papers, with their usual tact, are publishing a paragraph which they say is an extract from Gen. Geary's speech at York, denouncing most of those who were at theClvmer gathering at Har risburg as •shysters, cowards, skulkers and hospital bummers. No language was used by Gen. Geary which could be con strued into any such meaning, and the whole thing was no doubt got up to offset the attack on the railroad train headed by one of Glossbrenner & Small's special police.

But if there be in any part of the body any affection, such as a boii or nicer, even a bruise, the blood circulating through that part takes up impure matters from the local af fection and carries it into the general system. This is the cause often of sudden death to persons of full habit afflicted with boils and ulcers, and who use no medicine; the matter gets into the circulating sys tem and chokes up the fine blood vessels which suj>- ply the brain with vitality, and life ceases as if BEREFT BY LIGHTNING. Now, tin? can be remedied. BRA N DRETH'S PILLS take all impure matters from the circulation, and save the general health, soon curing local affections also.

The first volume of this work is now ready for delivery- it will be completed in three volumes, of over 600 pages each printed on fine calendered paper, and handsomely illustrated with nearly 2000 tine steel and wood Engravings, in the highest style of the art, from designs by Air. Lossing.twho in their preparation has tra\eled 20,00* j miles,) representing head quarters of officers: weapons and shii>s of war; forts, arsenals, medals of honor, and other gifts of gratitude; costumes of sol diers, arms and accoutrements; prisons and other buildings made memorable by the war; foe-simHe# of important docu am' autograph letters ; maps of bat tle fields, sieges and plans of fortresses— the whole illustrating every important event in the late civil war. * I he work, when finished, will le the most correct, reliable, impartial and hand somely got ten-up history of the war pub lished. The three volumes will he issued at a cost of it has leen written since the conclusion of the tear, from both Union and Confederate official documents, anAprivat* journals of officer* of both ar mies, not accessible to, nor used by previ ous writers ; arranged in a clear and con cise manner, with that impartial and well-balanced judgment for which the author is so well known. Mr. Lossing had every facility offered him by special direction of the War and Navy Depart ments, Governors of States, and by the late and present President, for visiting camps, forts and fleets, while the war was in progress and since the conclusion. The work will contain biographical sketches, in Cyclopedia form, of all the prominent actors in the war, of both sexes, and in every condition in life. This is a book of facta rather than of opinion*, and fully sustains the reputa tion of the author, established by his "PICTORIAL FIELD BOOK OF THE REV OLUTION*.'' Price $5.00 per volume. SOLD EXCLUSIVELY BY SUBSCRIPTION. OPINIONS OK THE PRESS. New York Herald. We can assert with truth that it is the first conscientiously written history of the war that has been given to the world since its close. It is neither one-sided as to its facts nor as to itswnclusions. We w irk Ti utes. Mr. Lossing possesses some peculiar qualifications for the preparation of a his tory of the war. To untiring industry, he unites a quick sense of that which po sesses interest and attractiveness for the multitude. His pen and pencil are alike faithful and accurate in reproducing men and the scenes in which they were ac tors. New York Tribune, To any one who is familiar with Mr. ] Lossing's oilier works, it is hardly neees- | sary to say that the materials for thepres- | ent one have been gathered and selected \ with eminent industry and good judg- j ment, and put together with the skill of J an accomplished writer. The book is a I rich storehouse of historical facts, and | moreover a very enticing volume to read, j It is so different from all the other histo ries of the war. that it cannot readily be compared with them.
