.Buthtou, March 18.
The stoamerCommodore arrived here this morning direct
from General Burnside's Expedition. '
She brings the announcement of the capture of New*
bern. North Carolina, and the defeat of the rebels there,
with the capture of a large number of artillery, after a
hard fought battle. .
Onr loss at Newbern was about 90 killed and 400
wounded. Our men displayed great bravery. .
- Newbern Is a town of about inhabitants, situated
at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent rivers. It had,
before the war broke out, a large trade In lumber, turpen
tine. tar, naval stores, etc. It is the county seat of Craven
rail road runs from Newbern to Goldsborough, fifty
nine miles distant, Intersecting there the main railroad
molting Weldon and Wilmington, N. 0. . .
Gen. Burnside having moved in this direction, is not in
any danger of attack from the rebel army that has been
concentrating at Suffolk, Va. . ... .
The capture of Newbern makes it certain that
of Beaufort, N. 0, can easily be taken, together with Fort
Macon, the strong work constructed for its defence by the
Federal Government Thereisarallroad from Newbern to
Moo rehead City, opposite Beaufort, the distance between
the two places being thirty-six miles.
Baltdcobj, March 18.
An officer bearing despatches from General Burnside
landed here on the arrival of the steamer Commodore, and
proceeded immediately to Washington.
It is reported that 300 rebel prisoners were captured.
Borne of the reports make our loss from 60 to 60 killed and
250 to 300 wounded.
The fight took place on Friday last. There are rumors
here that one of onr brigadier generals was killed, but this
is not thought to be reliable.
Another Account,
Baimfoai, March 18.
The enemy’s works, six miles below Newbern. were at
tacked on Friday morning last. They were defended by a
force abont ten thousand strong, and having twenty-one
guns posted behind formidable batteries, oYor two miles
The flgbt was one of the most desperate of the war. Our
troops behaved with the steadiness and courage of veterans,
and, after nearly fonr hours hard fighting, drove the rebels
ont of all their positions, captured three light batteries of
field artillery, forty-six heavy siege guns, large stores of
fixed amonition, three thousand small arms, and two
hundred prisoners, including one colonel, -three captains,
and four lieutenants. The enemy left a large number of
dead on the field.
They escaped by the cars to Goldsborough, burning the
bridges over the Trent and firing the City
of Newbern. No extensive damage was done to the place.
We lost about one hundred killed and foor hundred
wounded, mostly belonging to New Euglaud regiments.
Rev. O. N. Benton was killed, and Major Legendre, of
the Fifty-First New York, was mortally woonded. -Lieut.
Colonel Merritt of the Twenty-Third Massachusetts, and
Adjutant F. A. Stearns, of the Twenty-First Massachusetts
Regiment, of Amherst, were also killed, and their bodies
are on the way home.
Their loss is therefore not certainly known.
Before our troops reached this last work they en
countered another, which was deserted before they came
up It was in front of this last fortification that the
greatest loss was sustained. Our entire loss 1s estimated
by Major Johnson at 90 killed and about 400 wounded and
missing.
The force of the rebels is supposed to have been about
8.000. Wo captured a number of prisoners, including
Colonel Avery, who cursed his soldiers as cowards.
Just as the battle terminated, the fog lifted, and enabled
onr gunboats which had been impatiently waiting for an
opportunity to p»rticipa‘o in the fight, to come np the
river, and our troops were furnished with means of trans
portation across the Trent river to Newbern.
The rebels attempted to fire the town in their retreat,
hut were prevented by the citizens, who extinguished the
flames as fast as they were started by the Boldiers.
None of our generals or any staff officers were either
killed or wounded.
We captured from thirty to fifty cannon.
The officers of the rebel troops left their private traps
behind lu their final retreat, and the men threw away
everything.. The fight terminated at 3 o’clock, P. M., on
Friday, when our troops remained masters of the position.
Still Another Account*
Baltimore, March 18
Sergeant Major D. 11. Johnson, of the Twenty-Third
Massachusetts Regiment, came passenger by the steamer
Commodore, in charge of the bodies of Lieut. Colonel Mer
ritt. of the Twenty-Third Massachusetts Regiment, and
Adjutant Stearns, of the Twenty-First Massachusetts Regi
ment, who bravely fell whilo leading on their regiments In
an attack on the enemy’s batteries at Newborn.
From Major Johnson, who was in the fight, we gather
the following interesting particulars of the battle:
Our troops, under General Burnside landed on Thursday
evening, near the mou*h of Swann creek, on the west side
of the Neuse river, fifteen miles’below Newbern.
Owing to the dense fog, the naval vessels did Dot partici
pate in the fight.
Rarly on Friday morning the fight commenced. Our
tropps advanced along the county road rnnniDg parallel
with the Nense river, but a mile or two in the rear. The
road was skirted on the west side by the railroad and a
dense swamp.
All along the river side were a series of batteries, which
were taken by onr troops, r,n* After another, after some
bloody hand-to-hand contests. Oar troops were divided into
three brigades, under tho command of Generals Reno,
Foster aod Parks.
We advanced gradually, the enemy deserting their gnns,
until we reached a line of earthworks extending across the
road from the river to swamps on the we6t, a distance of
some two miles.
These esithworks were very strong. They were located
about two miles south of Newbern, and between there and
the city ran the Trent river.
The cr.nnty road and the railroad both passed through
these wrrk« and cross*d into the rite by bridges.
In front of these works the rebels had felled a large
number of fre-'R, forming an almost impenetrable abattis.
Here tho flying rebels were rallied, and made for a while
a desperate stand. Our brave fellows fought until all
their ammunition was spent, when an order to charge
bayonets was given, and tha works were finally taken at
the point of the bayonet, the enemy fl ring like frighteued
sheep, leaving everything behind them.
In their retreat they burnt the bridges communicating
with tho town, over both the county road and the railroad.
As they had trains of cars in their rear juri across the
bridges, they were of course able to carry off their wounded
and dead.
Official Dispatch from Gen, Burnside.
Wasuisgton, March 19.
Gen. Burnside, in his official report says: I must defer
for want of time, a detailed account of the action. It is
enough to say, that after an engagement of four hours, we
. succeeded in carrying a continuoos line of field works of
over a mile in length, protected on tho river flank by a
battery of thirteen heavy guns, and on tho opposite flank
by a line of redoubt of over half mile in length, for rifle
men and field pieces, in tho midst of swamps and dense
forests, which line of works .was defended by eight regi
ments of infantry, 500 cavalry, aDd three batteries of field
artillery of six guns each.
The position was finally carried by a most gallant charge
ofc our men, which enabled us to gain the rear of all the
batteries between this point aud Newbern, which was done
by the rapid advance of the entire force up the main road
and railroad. The naval fieet.meantime was pushing its
way up the river, throwing their Bhot into the forts in
front of us, the euemy retreating in great confusion,
throwing away blankets, knapsacks, arms, Ac., across the
railroad bridge and county road bridge. They burned
the former and destroyed the draw of the latter, thus pre
venting further pursuit and causing a detention in occu
pying the town by our military force—but the naval force
jy, bad arrived at the wharves and commanded it by their
gons.
I at once advanced Gen. Fester’s brigade to take posses
sion of the town by means of the naval vessels, which
Com. Rowan had kindly volunteered for the purpose. The
city was set on fire by the retreating rebels in many
places, but owing to the.exertions of the naval officers the
remaining citizens were induced to aid io extinguishing
the flames so that but little harm was done. Many of the
citizens are now returning and we are now in quiet posses
sion of the city. We have captured the printing press and
shall at once issue a dally sheet.
By this victory our combined forces have captured eight
batteries, containing forty six heavy guns, three batteries
of light artillery of six guns each, making in all sixty-
Jonr gnns. two steamboats, and a comber of sailing vessels,
horses, a large quantity of ammunition, commissary and
quartermaster stores, forage, and the entire camp equipage
of the rebel troops; a large quantity of rosin, turpentine,
cotton, Ac., and over 200 prisoners. Our loss thus far
ascertained will amount to 91 killed and 4C6 wounded,
many, of them mortally; among these are some of our
most-gallant officers and men. The rebel less Is severe,
hot not so great as our own, having been effectually covered
by their works.
I beg to say to the General Commanding the army, that
1 have endeavored to carry out the very minute instructions
given me by him before leaving Annapolis , and thus far
events have been singularly coincident with his anticipations.
I only hope that we may in future be able to carry out iu
detail the remaining plans of the campaign. The only
thing I have to regret is the delay caused by the elements.
Newbern, N. C.
The City of Newbern, or New Berne, is one of the princi
pal ports on the coast of North Carolina. It is the seat of
justice of Craven county, and was a well-built town of
about 5,000 inhabitants It contains, besides the county
buildings, several fine churches, two banks, tbiee news
paper offices, a theatre, Ac. It is situated at the confluence
of the Neuse (pronounced Nubs) and Trent rivers, which
empty into Pamlico Sonnd, through which aod Ocracoke
Ip let it has communication with the sea. Newbern is
eigbty-four miles north-wvat of Wilmington, about the
same distance nearly south of Weldon, aud a hnndred and
twenty miles from Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina.
It is about sixty miles from Goldsboro, at which point an
extensive system of railroads converges. Between New
bern and Goldsboro thejeountry consists mainly of wbat
are called “ pine barrens,” and offers no natural obstacles
to the march of an army. The soil is Band, and the roads
are consequently improved rather than Impaired by ralo.
If General Burnside should push his success, aud the rivor
should be sufficiently high to permit the further ascent of
his gunboats, this may prove fine of the most serious re
verses the rebels have yet encountered, throogh the
destruction of their railroad communications with the
Bouthweßt. Th“ trade of Newbern is principally in naval
stores, of which there is now a great scarcity iu New York
—the trade in which was nearly suspended on Tuesday, in
consequence of this success. The temper of the people of
Newbern and surrounding country, under the restored
anthority of the Union, is an important consideration in
a double sense. Private assurances are quite favorable to
the cause of the Union.
The Old “Fourth. Pennsylvania” Vin
dicated.
Norristown, March 19.
We have glorious news from the Fifty-First Pennsylva
nia Volunteers, Colonel J. F. Harlranft, now in service in
Bnrnside’a expedition. The regiment is mainly composed
of officers and men of the old Fourth Pennsylvania, of the
three-months term;
Sergeant Major C. Zones Iredell, of that regiment, writes
home that the Fifty-First, after taking the enemy’s batter
ies, on the left of tho defences at Newbern, with the
bayonet, was tbe first regiment to plant its colors, along
with the flag presented by the ladies of Norristown to the
old Fourth (three-months) Regiment, in the enemy's en
trenchments. *Thus tbeir gallantry at tbe reduction of
Newbern folly vindicates the fame of the old regiment,
and does honor to.the old Keystone.

Tbe Great Battle of America*
The fall particulars received of the great fight at Pea
Sidge Arkansas, renders it certain that It was the most
desperate and fiercely contested battle that ever took place
on this continent. The rebels fought on ground of their
own selection, and were commanded by tbeir ablest gener
als among whom were Mclntosh and McCallough. Mcln
tosh Is said to be equal in ability to any general In the
confederate army. Price, although spirted to much rld
icnle, has proved that in canning and ufciqaJty be is a for
midable foe. Onr army consisted of hboottwqjve.tbousand
men nnder Gen. 8. "Ft. Curtis, and embraced three division*
under command of Slgel, Davis and,Carr. Tlwirebel force
consisted of some 30 000 men. including.!,ooo Indians un
der the notorious'Albert Pike,--of Arkansas. Tbe rebel
troops were from Missouri, Ark ansae, Mississippi and
Texas. No matter what may be the Ignorahce.-feolto and _
follies of these States, their desperate fighting qualities are
acknowledged the world over. ' * - • :
For ten or twelve day* before tbe battle, skirmishes were
of daily occurrence between onr forces and those of the
enemy. Finally, on Friday the 4tb instant, the rebels dis
covered Gen. Sigel’s division about two milea from the
main body, tondncting A train, and they attacked him
farionsly by an overwhelming foree. Tbe brave chief and
bis men foogbt like lions for several hours and three times
their retreat wa» eotirely cot off. The rebel cavalry
charged and re-cbarged upon the brave little band; but
the Union bayonets again and again drove them back.—
With streaming hair and flashing sword tbe heroic Bigel
raged everywhere, cheering his men and urging them to
perifb rather than yield. He gave orders in all parts of
the field and was at every point of attack. For six hours
this unequal contest was carried on; bat no reinforcements
came, tbe conrageoas little band still contending as a for
lorn hope. At this time a correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times, who witnessed the fight, writes:
“ About the trains the din of strife rose loader than be
fore. and the rattle of musketry and the boom of cannon
awoke tbe sarronnding echoes.
•‘The enemy were losing ground. They rallied and fell
with redoubled force on onr heroic band, two hundred of
whom bad already proved tbeir patriotism with tbeir blood.
•- The combat was band to hand. Horsemen were dis
monnted, and struggled with tbe Infantry, while tbe offi
cers were sometimes seen defending themselves against
tbe advancing bayonets of the common soldiers.
“ A superhuman effort on the part of the enemy, and a
third time the Unionists were surrounded.
“Firmer and firmer were tbe rebels closing round the
five or six hundred braves, who were evidently going to
the wall.,
** The sun of Hope seemed sinking, though that of Nature
was sbinlDg clear from oat the qalet sky.
“ Sigel saw tbe smilo of Heaven only, and would not
despond. His eye flashed and his form expanded as the
shouts of the enemy rose above tbe din of tbe straggle.—
Only one way was left.
“‘Follow me!’ thundered brave Slgel, and his proud
steed trampled an approaching rebel nnder his haughty
feet.
“ A deep, strong, e&rneat cry from the Unionists, and
they met the foe with the rash of determination and the
energy of deepair.
“ The secession line eonld not endare tbe shock. It re
eotied, was thrown into confusion, and retired from a po
sition that was immovable as an Alpine rock.
“ And Sigel was victorious, with the san still beaming
clearly out of the quiet 6ky. The train waß saved. The
first day was won.”
On the following morning our forces found themselves
nearly surrounded by the enemy. Gen. Carr’s division was
sent against tbe united forces of Price and McCulloch.—
For seven hours the contest was furiously waged, and our
men suffered much from concealed riflemen and two active
batteries. These batteries were taken and retaken several
times. Personal prowess and daring were shown by almost
every officer and man, and the bloody day closed, after the
most desperate fighting, without any advantage being
gained on either side. While this fight was goiog on, Gen.
Davis was contending with Van Dorn’s forces near Lee
town, and succeeded in routing them.
On the third day the action became general, and the en
tire force of both armies was engaged. During the night
Gen. Curtis had changed the position of his batteries, and
succeeded in cettlog them in very advantageous positions,
and early in the morning they opened a most deadly fire
upon the foe. The infantry men brought to bear upon the
enemy at short range, and this new movement gave us the
victory. This dreadful crossfire could not be withstood
by anything hnmao. The rebel leaders attempted to rally
tbeir men In vain. The fight, It was plain, must now eom
ba ended. Volley after volley of death-dealing musketry
mowed down tbe rebels by scores, till at last they broke
ranks, retreated rapidly, and the day was ours. Price fled
north, and Van Dorn west: but they afterwards succeeded
in joining tbeir scattered forces, and took refuge in the
Boston Mountains.
The official list of the Union loss at this battle is 212
killed, 926 woonded, and 174 missing. The enemy lost at
least 2,500 in killed and wounded, exclusive of 1,600 pris
oners captured.
Before the fight the Indians were made drunk with a
mixture of whiskey and gun-powder, and they committed
the m-'st horrible atrocities. They became so enraged that
they lost all power of discriminating between friend and
foe, and attacked indiscriminately rebels and Unionists,
scalping the dead and wounded on both sides. Their fight
ing has very much disappointed the rebels, and they will
not be apt to employ savages again.
It is still contended that Generals McCullough and Mc-
Intosh were both killed in this battle. McCullough it is
said was mortally wounded In the left breast, and died the
same night.
It is reported that Mclntosh was struck near the right
hip with a gmpeshot while giving an order to one of hia
aids, and hurled from his horse. Tbewoond was a ghastly
one, and though it mu9t have been very painful, Mcln
tosh ottered no groan, but calmly gave directions for hia
treatment. A few minutes after he fell into a comatose
state, from which he never recovered.
The rebels supposed tUat they had onr army in a trap
where it woald become an easy prey, and hence they feel
tenfold disappointment and chagrin at their ntter dcieat.
WENDELL PHILLIPS.
Wendell Phillips recently made a speech at
the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, in
which be openly declared that he had been
engaged in efforts to dissolve the Union for
the last thirty years. Ho keeps to his old
text; and yet he was awarded the privileges
of the Senate Chamber, and also the House.
We see it announced that he has made his
appearance at Harrisburg', and that the Sen
ate has graciously given him that Chamber to
fulminate his secession ideas.
Really this is strange. Men who have been
the substantial friends of the Constitution and
the Union all their lives, have been arrested
and imprisoned for no alleged offence what
ever, and released without trial; and yet this
man Phillips not only runs free, but is nursed
and potted by the United States Senate, the
Senate of Pennsylvania, and Abolitiomsts
generally. Why? The answer is in his speech
at Washington, in which he acknowledged
that he had been working against the Union
for thirty years. Never was a confession more
true. For thirty years Phillips has been at
tacking the Constitution, and using every
means to exasperate the South to secession.
Now that he has accomplished his object, be
is in his glory, and triumphs in this fratricidal
war as did Satan when his schemes agaiost
mankind resulted in Cain's murdering his
brother Abel. But now that Phillips has
confessed that for thirty years he has been
a conspirator against the Union, is it not about
time that tbe Government put an end to his
atrocious career by confining him in a prison
or a lunatic asylum ? By his own confession,
Phillips and the Sonthern Rebels are co-labor
ers, and therefore they ought to be treated
alike.— Jeffersonian .
The Peach Crop in the Surrounding
Country. —All authorities in such matters
concur in predicting a good crop of peaches
for the coming fruit season. Thus far every
thing has been favorable, and the prospeot is
-flattering. At this time last season the buds
were more-than half developed, and were
nearly in bloom by the 19th of the month;
but they were almost entirely destroyed by
the subsequent severe frosts and wintry
weather. This season, however, the weather
has not as yet been warm enough to cause the
sap to rise and the buds to swell. Indeed the
buds have not been so backward at this time
of the season for many years, and their state
of forwardness has generally been the cause
of the destruction of a good crop. Should
the weather continue cool for a few weeks
longer, when warm weather sets in, and the
buds have begun to bloom, it is highly prob
able that they will escape with but little injury
from the frost. Itj will not do, however, to be
too sanguine, for we will yet have many frosts,
and it is not certain that the cool weather will
continue. Still the prospects of a good crop
were never so encouraging at this time of the
Beason as they are now. Indeed, the prospects
iu Delaware are so favorable, that many of
those who have large orchards are getting
uneasy, leßt a too bountiful crop will cause
such low prices as not pay them for their la
bor, for nearly the entire crop will be sent to
Northern markets, the Southern markets not
being open. The prospects of a good crop of
all other kinds of fruit are also cheering, and
this gives great satisfaction, the more so be
cause we have not had a good general fruit
crop for about five years. —Harrisburg Patriot

GEN. FREMONT.
Gen, Fremont, according to the Tribune , is
quite a lion since his recent appointment to
the command of the “ Mountain Department.”
He is literally overrun with admiring visitors
to congratulate him upon his restoration to the
Bervice.
The General’s capture of that woolly horse,
on the Rooky Mountains, when he was bound
ing from rock to rock and from cliff to cliff,
clearing forty feet, at least at a leap, did not
give him greater, celebrity as* dashing adven
turer, than has his recent defeat of the Blairs,
as evidenced in his late appointment. If,
after he reaches the mountain, on which he is
expected to take command, he oould manage
to run down another quadruped, we suspect
that all opposition to him for the next Presi
dency would be immediately withdrawn. In
the- meantime, an admiring contemporary
speaks of him in the following complimentary
and-sententious manner:
“He iB a statesman who never made a
speech ; a General who never won a battle ; a
pathfinder who always missed the track, and
a millionaire not worth a continental d—n."
—Pittsburg Post.
8©» A curious meeting was held at the
American Hotel, Brooklyn, on Friday eve
ning week, for the purpose of ascertaining
“ who are the heirs” to a valuable estate in
England. Some time since a wealthy banker,
named Wood, died in London, leaving prop
erty to thq enormous value of $45,000,000.
Deceased was a baohelor, and had no relations
except two brothers, who came to this country
many years ago, and settled on Long Island.
The descendants of these brothers claim to be
the rightful heirs, and a meeting of these heirs
was accordingly held as above. About seven

|number of names,- with pedigree, together
with a large list of family records and dcc
| amenta were handed in.
appointment of Mr. Stanton,
Gen. McClellan had to perform many of the
dnties of Secretary of War in addition to all
the duties of hifl own office. Cameron troubled
himself abont scarcely anything eUe than the
patronage of his office. He gave his attention
specially to the appointment of sutlers, the ,
making of contracts, Mid. to■ transportation,
with what relative advantages to the govern-,
ment and to individuals investigations have
disclosed. The true' reason of his dismissal
was that Gen. McClellan could make no sat—•
isfaotory progress towards forward move
qaent under bis administration of the War
Office. The country has seen what progress
he has made since the appointment of Secre
tary Stanton. What is shameful iu all
this is that the abolition press insist upon
making McClellan responsible for all the de
lavs arising from Cameron's, in competency.—
McCle lan would have been ready to move
against the rebels months ago had Stanton or
any other competent person been Secretary of
War instead of Cameron.— Chicago Times*

Relief to soldiers* families—
The Commissioners hare resolved to vote another
appropriation of TEN THOUBAND DOLLARS, to meet the
necessities of the families of onr u brave volunteers who
have given their lives to their country for the purpose of
upholding the Constitution and laws. The former ap
propriations are exhausted; and so well have the finances
of the county been managed, that these large sums have
bean contributed to the relief of those dependent upon the
absent volunteers, without requiring any addition to the
County taxation.
The monthly pay of our volunteers has been necessarily
postponed, and It will be two or three weeks before another
payment will be made. Their wives and families at home,
have been consequently very much distressed for want of
means; and the Board of Relief; to-day, In view of these
facts, adopted the following resolutions, vis:
Btsolvedt That, for the n ext thru in consideration
of the distress of the families entitled to relief, by reason

to read in the Gospel Messenger that you had prepared

Cincinnati and got it, and used it till it cured me. I took
it, as you advise, in small doses of a teaspoonful over a
month, and used almost three bottles. New and healthy'
skin soon began to form under the scab,'which altera

Uterine Ulceration, Female Diseases.
Dr. J. B. S. Chauning, of New York City, writes; “ I
most cheerfully comply with the request of your agent in ,
saying I have found your Sarsaparilla a most excellent
alterative in thu numerous complaints for which vre
employ such a remedy, but especially in fbnale Diseases
of the Scrofulous diathesis. I have cured many inveter
ate cases of Leucorrhoea by it, and some where the com
plaint was caused by ulceration of the uterus. The ulcer
ation itself was soon cured. Nothing within my knowl
edge equals it for these female derangements.”
Edward S. Marrow, of Newbury, writes, “A dan
gerous ovarian tumor on one of the females in my family,
which hod defied all the remedies we could employ, has
at .length been : cortipletoly cured by yfiur Extract of Sar
saparilla. Our physician thought nothing but extirpa
tion could afford relief, but be advised the trial of your
Sarsaparilla as the last resort before cutting, and It
proved effectual. After taking your remedy eight weeks
no symptom of the disease remains."
Dr. J. C. Atxr: Sir, I cheerfully comply with the re*
quest of your agent, and report to you some of the effects
I have realized with your Sarsaparilla.
I have cured with it, in my practice, most of the com
plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its
effects truly wonderful In the cure of Venereal and Mer
curial Disease* One of my patients had Syphilitic ulcere
In his throat, which were consuming his palate and the
top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily taken,
cured btm in,five weeks. Another was attacked by seo*
ondary symptoms in his nose, and the ulceration had
eaten away a considerable part of it, so that 1 believe the
disorder would sooti reach his brain and kill him. But It
yielded to my administration of-your Sarsaparilla; the
ulcers healed, and ho is well again, not of courso without
some disfiguration to his face. A woman who had been
treated for the same disorder by mercury was suffering
from this poison iu her bones. They had become so sen
sitive to the weather tlmt on a damp day she suffered ex
cruciating pain in her joints and bones. She, too, waa
cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla in a few weeks. I
know from its formula, which your agent gave me, that
this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great
remedy; consequently, these truly remarkable resulta
with it have not surprised me.
Fraternally yours, G. Y. LARIMER, M. D.
Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint.
Independence, Preston Co., Ya., 6th July, 1859.
Db. J. C. Atee: Sir, I have been ofHicted with a pain
ful chronic Rheumatism for & long time, which baffled the
skill of physicians, and stuck to me in spite of all the
remedical could find, until I tried your Sarsaparilla. One
bottle cured me In two weeks, and restored my general
health so much that I am far better than before I was
attacked. I think it a wonderful medicine. J. FREAM.
Jules Y. Getchell, of St. Louis, writes: “I have been
nfllicted for years with an affection of the Liver, which
destroyed my health. I tried every thing, and every thing
failed to relieve me; and I have been a broken-down man
for some years from no other cause than derangement of
Ute Liver. My beloved pastor, the Rev. Mr. Espy, advised
mo to try your Sarsaparilla, because lie said ho knew you,
and any thing you made waa worth trying. By the bless-,
ing of God it lias cured me, and has so pnrified-iny blood
os to make anew man of me. I feel young again. The
best that can be said of you is not half good enough.”

Many remarkable cures of these affections have been

overcomes disorders which would bo supposed beyond Its
