Admission of Patients to the Insane
HosrtTAL.— To avoid trouble and difficulty which may
arise from ignorance or misapprehension relative to the
admission of patients into the Pennsylvania State Luna
tic Hospital at Harrisburg, it has been deemed advisable j
to give the following extracts from the by-laws of the |
hospital.
These provisions will be strictly enforced, and it is j
hoped that all who may have occasion to bring patients j
to the hospital, will be prepared to comply fully with !
the spirit and letter of the regulations :
" Preparatory to the admission of a patient, (unless i
when committed by an order of court,) the Superinten- !
dent shall be furnished with the certificate of a physician ■
,hat he has seen and examined the individual and believes ,
him or her to be insane, with a request of a near relative j
or friend that the patient may be received into the hos- j
pitai. and a bond, with satisfactory security for the pay- j
ment of hoard and other expenses while in the institu i
tion. All private patients thus received shall make a I
payment of thirteen weeks' board in advance when bro't
to the hospital, and if taken away uncured and against ;
the advice and consent of the Superintendent within that
period, no part of said payment shall be refunded.
<• Whenever a patient is sent to the hospital by the or
der of any court, justice, judge. Directors of the Boor of
a c mntw or the overseers ot the poor of a town-hip or
poor district., the order or warrant, or a copy thereat, by
which snch person is sent sln.ll be lodged with the Su
perintendent.
' -'those who bring a patient with any snch order or
warrant will, e required to pay at the "ime ot the admis
. nof th patient, -ixty five dollars.
•• A writtc i history of the ca-e should be sent with the
patient, and. if pos-ible. sonic one acquainted with the
individual should accompany l.iin to the hospital, from
whom minute, but olteu essential particulars may be
learned."
Cases of recent occurrence will t>e received at any time
on compliance . iih the regulations.

Heap Quarters sth Reg.. P R , !
Camp near Harrisson's Bar, James River, July 4, ISG2. f
Sir: In accordance with Order No. - I have the hon
or to submit the following statement of the position and
work of this Regiment in the recent battles near Rich
mond.
On Thursday, 26th June, the sth Regiment, in connec
tion with the Ist Rifles, usually denominated " Buektails,'
were detailed (or picket along the Chick-ahominy ; early
in the day, the euemy made his appearance on the right
of our line, when a brisk skirmish was commenced and
kept up until the af ernoon, when the two regiments re
tired to Beaver Run, a small stream north of Mechanics
ville. Our regiment was posted along the margin of a
piece of woodland—skirnti hers thrown out in front find
one company posted in a rudely constructed riflo pit, a
little to the right and front ol our right flank, f was put
in command of the skirmishers and rifle pit; about
oclock the enemy made his appearance in large force,
when a terrific fire was opentd and k pt up until after
dark, when the enemy retired leaving large numbers of
killed and wounded on the field. The sth Regiment lost
la thi-j engagement, 7 killed, 64 wounded and 12 missing.
It would li# hard to make any distinction in reporting the
conduct of officers and men, in this engagement, as all be
haved with the mo-t consummate coolness and .bravery.
Our Regiment la)* down on the field just in rear of our
Lne ol but!#, but received an order about midnight to
march, whirl, we did and halted at •' Gaines' Hill," and
participated in the battle of the 27th ult. Our regiment
was ordered to take a position near the right, which we
took and held for nearly four hours, under a heavy fire of
the enemy—oui officers and men behaving with great
coo ne-s and courage. We were kept un re until our
ammunition was exhausted, when our right flunk was at
tacked by a Brigade of the enemy and we were forced to
retiie, which we did in order. In this engagement we
' ost : ki.'.od, 5, (among whom was Capt. R. W.Stlkkock,
Company F.) ; wounded, 44 ; missing, 6 ; most of our
missing in both engagements, have since ret . ned.
At the battle of the 80th tilt., the sth Regiment again
occupied an important position. Col. Simmons of the
"th was in command of the Ist Brigade in place of Gen.
ku solus who had been taken prisoner on the 27th. The
command of the Regiment was entrusted tome. Sonn
a'ter the battle commenced I wa* ordered to charge the
! ght with parts of the sth, Bth, 9th and 10th ; the charge
'a? made,the enemy routed and over a hundred prison
er? 'nken. The troops engaged jn the charge was rallied
and placed in position to make another dash at the ene
my, but before this could be done the enemy came on us
'.h such overwhelming force as to compel us to retire.—
In this encouuter the 6th lost several valuable officers and
men, among the former was Col. S. G. Simmons cf thesth
Pennsylvania Reserve, (who fell while gallantly urging
and leading his men to the wor£); Capt. Jas. Tagoakt,
Co. 8., 6th Keg., Capt. Thos. B. Chambeiilin, Co. D.,
Capt. Joun MoClkrv, Co. 11., Lieut. Riddle. Co. P.,
Lieut.McFaddis, Co. D., Lieut. Hildekbuand, Co. G.,
all of whom were severely wounded and missing, probab
ly either killed afterward or taken drisoneis. Our loss iu
killed is 6, wounded, 69; missing, 74; many ot the
wounded and missing are undoubtedly since dead. Here,
again, our officers and men behaved most admirably. I
cannot but mention.as deserving particular notice. Maj.
Dahk, of the sth. to whom, as much as to any other, is
doe the splendid success of the charge on the enemy's
right. Adj . Mason", although severely wounded, re
mained at his post during the eu'-ire day, doing his duty
faithfully.

Ayer's Sarsaparilia.
A COMPOUND REMEDY, in which we
JiJL 1 ~ve labored te produce the most effectual altera
tive that can bo made. It is a concentrated extract ot
Para Sarsaparilia, so combined with other sol stiuees of
still great< i uli-nUvo power as to afford an effective an
tidote tor the diseases Sa-aaporilia is reputed to cure. It
is believed tiiat such an meuy is wanted by those who
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense service fo
tliis large el-is v. of our afflicted leffow citizens. How com
pletely this compound will do it has been proven by ex
perinent on runny el the worst cases to be found of the
lollowingcomplaints

Tliis compound wi 1 he found a great promoter ef

By the timely expulsion of tin :-; many rankling disor
der!*) are nipped in the hud. Multitudes can by the aid
of this remedy, spare themselves trora the endurance of
tool eruptions and ulcer us sores, through which the
-yst< rr> wii! strive t-> rid iv-elf of corruption. o . if not as
sisted to di this through the natural channels ot the
body by an alterative me iicir.e. Gleam,.? out the vitiated
blood whenever you find its imparities bur-ting through
the skin in pimples, eruptions, cr sores : cleans'.' it when
you find it is obstructed nud sluggish in the veiflfi;
cleaus-; it whenever it i- foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even wher" no particular disorder is felt,
people enjoy better health, and live longer .for cleansing
the bio..,j. Kc ot o- tijood healthy, and al! is weii ; but
with tliis paouiutn .if ,'im disordered, there can be no
la-ting health. Sooner or later something must go
wrong anu the great machinery of life is disordered or
overthrown.
Sarsaparilia and deserves much, tie reputation,
of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been
egregiousty deceived by preparations of it, partly because
the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for
it, but more becau-0 many preparations, pretending to L-c
concentrated extracts ot it, ■ obtain but little of the vir
tue of Sarsaparilia, or any tiling else.
During late years the public ii-ive been misled by large
botlies, pretending to give a quart oi Extract of Saraa
parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, for they not only contain little, If any,
Sarsaparilia, but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and paintul disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sar-aparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself is Justly despised,
and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilia, and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the
load of obloquy which rests upon it. And wc think wc
have ground tor believing it has virtues which are ir
resistable by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cru3. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, the remedy should be judiciously
taken according to directions on ue bottle.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,

constant use throughout this section, we need not do
more than assure the people its quality is kept up to the
best it ever has been, and that it maybe relied on to do
tor their relief all it has ever been :ound to do.
