ANOTHER GALLANT PENNSYLVANIA BEGI*
MENT RETURNING.
{Correspondent of the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
~ Headquarters First Army Corps, m&rchdth,'
3864. —'the 56th Pennsylvania Volunteers, Col. W.
J. Hofmann Commanding-, have re-enlisted as
Veterans, and -will probably leave here for Phila
delphia on Tuesday next and arrive on Friday or
Saturday. As it is one oi the most gallant regi-.
ments in oar Corps, I, as a Pennsylvauian. wish
that the people of Philadelphia-may know some
thing of its history, in order that they may be pre
pared to give it a becoming welcome. It was the
regiment that opened the battle of Gettysburg on
the Ist of July under Reynolds: it fired the first
volley, and it# men were the first to shed their
blood in that great engagement, consequently
Pennsylvanians: were first in that strife, as u
should hare been. . The regiment has been m IXIO
following battles:
Rappahannock, August, 1862.
Sulphur Springs, August, 16 62.
Gainsville, August, 1662.
Bull Run, August, 1802.
South Mountain, September, ViQi.
Antietam, September, 1862.
Union, November, 1862.
Fredericksburg, D ® c ®“ b , B^V 86 "'
? o , ?d, I ;nsu“p ; Srtof6 a v a lr yi June, 1863.
Gettysburg, Ju1y,.1863.
Mine Bun, December, 1863.
Colonel Hofmann, commanded a brigade at tie
battles of South Mountain, Antietam-and Union.
He b*g been honorably mentioned in the official
reports of battles frequently, and at Gettysburg
he and his regiment were particularly distin
guished. In this engagement three color-bearers
•were shot in his regiment. .
The regiment does honor to Pennsylvania, ana
stands very high In the old First Corps. Having
had ample opportunity of learning the standing or
the different regiments, I, can say with pride that
the 56th has never misbehaved.

f Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.]
Newjiebk, March 1, 186*. Onr atmosphere is
quite warm again. Bumors have been for some
time in circulation of the advance of a heavy col
umn of the enemy’b forces fdr the conquest ot
Nowbern, and we are anticipating that Jeff.
Davis is about to make ano her effort to realize hii
threat to take this place be : ore we celebrate another
anniversary of its capture by Gen. Barnside, on
the. 14th of March, 1862.
Brigadier. General Palmer, commanding forces
and defences of Newbern, was called fyom church
on Sabbath morning by one oi his scouts, and in
the evening he held a consultation with the Su
perintendent of Negro Affairs, Capt. James, rela
tive* we suppose, to calling the colored men into
service, if necessary. Yesterday an order from
the Provost Marshal, Capt Denny, made its ap
pearance, warning ail white citizens able .to hear
arms to report immediately for duty.
The rebels have been building an iron-clad at
Kinston, and it is now reported ready for action.
It is commonly expected that this formidable ves
sel, as it is called, will take part in the. coming
engagement.
Onr navy has been reinforced, and is eager for
an engagement, and we expect tbat if the enemy
bring with them this boat, abont which we have
so long heard, Its epitaph will soon be written.
Fora very sufficient reason, I do not care to
state the number of troops here. This much is
true, we are better prepared to receive the enemy
than on the first of last month.
POLITICAL.
New Hampshibe Elbotiok New Hampshire
went into her election yesterday under the most
discouraging circnmstances for her Unionists.
Governor Gilmore was last year beaten 3,793
votes by the opposition candidate, and only saved
from defeat by the strong vote thrown for Colonel
Harriman (War Democrat), which, added to Gil
more’s, overbore that or Eastman (Dem.) 574,
enabling the Legislature to elect Gilmore. Now,
it appears from partial retnrns, that Gilmore is
elected by the People by over five thousand votes,
in spiteef onr heavy loss by the absence of thou
sands of soldiers. By a despatch from Concord
we learn that in one hundred and fifty-five towns
the vote stood:
Gilmore (Uni0n).......
Harrington (Dem.)....
Scattering
Gilmore’s majority,
New York—'The £oi/diers to Vote. To-day’s
Tribune says Yesterday the people of this State
ratified by an immense majority the act to amend
the,State Constitution so that oar brave soldiers
and sailors in the Army and Navy can have their
political rights in future elections. The vote is
light, as almost everybody on the right side con
sidered the affair: concluded bej T ond doubt by the
passage of the bill. This city cast about one-third
of an average vote—the yeas being about two-thirds
of her full Uiyoh vote. Brooklyn did something
better, and together they give 17,732 majority for the
Amendment. In the Country the yeas had it all
their own- way; at this writing we kno w of but two
towns in the State that go the other way, and they
are.Gochecton and Tiusten,m Sullivan county,
looking at their vote for Governor we cannot say
that any one ought to be surprised, as they gave
577 for Seymour to 143 for Wadsworth; now they
say,- by 183 majority, that soldiers shall not vote.
We. wish them joy of the reputation they have
won—MackrellyUle and the Five Points are
distanced.
PERSONAL.
Says the Pittsburgh Chronicle of Tuesday: Gen.
Grant arrived in this city last night. At the depot
he -was met by a large concourse of citizens, and
received a 'warm and enthusiastic welcome. Loud
calls were made for a speech, but with his charac
teristic modesty, the General could not he pre.
vailed on to respond, and simply bowed his ac
knowledgments to the multitude. In a brief con
versation with the Mayor he stated that he was no
speaker, bnt even if ho were he had been traveling
fifty-two hours, and was not In a condition to
make a speech. He'was going to Washington, he
said, .and would be happy on his return to meet
his Pittsburgh friends and pass a few hours with
them. The General is a man of less than medium
statnre and very modest demeanor. He wears his
beard clipped short, and there is nothing what
ever about him, beyond the stars on his shoulder,
to indicate his rank; During the brief stay of the
General in the city, he engaged freely in conversa
tion with those around him, and many availed
themselves of the occasion to take him by the
hand His roception was exceedingly enthusi
astic, and on leaving he was loudly cheered
Pelatiah Perit, a prominent merchant of New
York, died at his residence in New Haven, Conn.,
on Tuesday morning, aged 76 years. He was re
cently President of the Chamber of Commerce in
New York, and of the Seamen’s Saving Bank,
and has been active throughout a long life in the
management of other important' financial and
charitable institutions. He graduated at Yale
College in the class of 1902.

piece Mr. Griffiths plays Sir Peter Teazle, Mr.
Hill plays Charles Surface,and Mr. Hobson plays
Mr. Crabtree.
Queen Victohia’s Abdication.— I The Memo
rial Diplomatique makes itself responsible for
the extraordinary statement that at a recent
Cabinet Council on the Danish question, Queen
Victoria rose from the table, declaring that she
could come to no decision without consulting
with Prince -Albert, retired to her closet, and
on emerging, announced that the Prince was
hostile to, any act of war by England.
This unmistakable proof of mental aberra
tion is said to have determined Lord Palmer
ston to urge the abdication or the Queen; and
the fact that, instead of joining his mother at
Osborne, the Prince of Wales has gone with
his princess to St. Leonards, is interpreted as
an indication' that Edward VII. is preparing
to mount the throne and to inaugurate a new
foreign policy in the affairs of Great Britain.
It is certain that the present attitude of the
English Government cannot long be maintained
‘(England is to keep her place as a power of
the first rank; and if the abdication of Victoria
is a necessary preliminary to vigorous and
! S ti<M ? °? the part of Great Britain,

THE GREAT
CENTRAL FAIR,
FOR THE
Sanitary Commission,
Philadelphia, 1307 Chestnut Streak
February 20,1864;
The undersigned, members of the Executive
Committee of the GREAT CENTRAL FAIR for
the Sanitary Commission, beg to in.vite the 00-ope
ration of all their fellow-citizens, especially of
those resident in Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey, in'this important enterprise. It is
proposed to hold the Fair in Philadelphia, in the
FIRST WEEK IN JUNE NEXT, and it is con
fidently expected that the contributions coming
from a popula ion so benevolent and patriotlo as
that which inhabits tfia Central States, and repre
senting the mos: important and varied branches of
industry and art, will secure a result-in aid of the
funds of the Commission, and for the benefit of'
the Soldier, at least equal to that which has at
tended similar undertakings in other cities. It
is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym
pathy for the soldier. We feel for them ail as
brethren, and the popular heart seeks only ths
best mode of manifesting that sympathy in the
most efficient and practical way. These fairs in
other places have been productive of great results.
By this means Chicago has recently raised for tbi.
object *OO,OOO, Boston *160,000. and Cincinnati
more than *200,000. We appeal, then, with the
greatest confidence to the inhabitants of the Cen
tral States, especially to those who constitute the
.great industrial classes, to send aB contributions
the productions of their skill and workmanship.
We appeal to them in the interest of no psrty,
radical or conservative, Republican or Democratic,
Administration or anti-Administration. We know
only this, that to send onr national soldiers in the
field supplies to supplement those Goverment un
dertakes to give them, but which they sometimes
fajl to receive, and thus to relieve them when sick
and in misery, is a work of Christian charity, and
that it is a -work of intelligent patriotism also, ae
economizing their life, health and efficiency, on
which, under God, the nation depends in this its
time ot trouble.
We therefore ask every clergyman to announce
this humane undertaking to his people, and to ad
vise them to do what they can to further it. We
ask the press to give it the widest publicity and tbo
most earnest encouragement. We call on every
workshop, factory and mill for a specimen of the
best tbing it can tnruout; on every artist, great
and small, for one of his creations ; on all loyal
women, for the exercise of their taste and indus
• try; on farmers, far the products of their fields
and dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the man
of science, the traveler, can each send something
that can at the very least be converted into a
blanket that will warm, and may save from death,
Eome one soldier whom government supplies have
failed to reach. Every one who can produce any
thing that has money Talue is invited to giTe a
simple of his best work as an offering to the cause
of national unity. Every workingman, mechanic
or farmer, who can make a pair of shoea or raise a
barrel of apples, la called on to contribute some
thing . that can be turned into money, and again
from money into the means of economizing the
health and the life of our national soldiers.
Committees haTe been appointed in each depart
ment of Industry ard art, whose business it will
be to solicit contributions for the Fair, each in its
own special branch. 1 hese Committees will place
themselTes in communiaation with those persons
who may wish to aid us. In the meantime it is
recommended thatlocal committees or associations
should be formed in every portion of Pennsylva
nia, Delaware and New Jersey, with a view of
organizing the industry of their respective neigh
borhoods, so as to secure contributions for the
Fair.
Committees of Ladies have also been organized
to co operate with those of the gentlemen in soli
citing contributions.
A list of all these Committees 'trill be shortly
published and distributed. In the meantime those
who are disposed to aid us, or who may desire any
farther information on the subject, are requested
to address CHABLES J. STILLS, Corresponding
Secretary 1 1 the Executive Committee of the Great
Central Fair, 1307 CHESTNUT Street.

horrid disease, ‘ ‘Dyspepsia,” for sixteen years,

CATARRH OF THE

STRANGURY.
For these diseases it is truly a sovereign remedy,
and too much cannot be said in its praise. A
single dose has been known to remove the most nr
gent symptoms.
Are you troubled with that distressing pain in
the small of the back and through the hips! A
teaspoonful a day of the Constitution Water will
relieve you like magic.
PHYSICIANS
Have long since given up the nse of buchu, cubebs
and juniper in the treatment of the diseases, and
only use them-for the want of a better remedy
CONSTITUTION WATER
has proved itself equal to the task that,hag e
volved upon it.
DIUERTICS
Imitate and drench the kidneys, and by constant
nse soon-lead to chronic degeneration and confirmed
disease.
We present the Constitution Water to the public
with the conviction that it has no eqnal in relieving
the class of diseases for which it has been found so
eminently successful for curiug; and we trust that
we shall be rewarded for our efforts in placing so
valuable a remedy In a form to meet the require
ments of patient and physician.
IN DYSMBNORKRCEA, OH PAINFUL MEN
STKUATION; AND MENORRHAGIA,
Both diseases arising from a faulty secretion ol
the menstrual fluid—in case of being too tittle, and
accompanied by severe pain, and the other a too
profuse secretion, which will be speedily cored by
the Constitution "Water.
The disease known as FALLING- OF THE
WOMB, which is the result of a relaxation of the
ligaments of that organ, and is known by a sense
of heaviness and dragging pains in the back and
sides, and. at times accompanied by sharp, lanci
nating or shooting pains through the parts, will,
in all cases, be cured by this medicine.
There is another class of svmptoms arising from
IRRITATION OF THE WOMB, which physi
clans call nervousness, which word covers np
much ignorance, and in nine cases out of ten the
doctor does r.otreally know whether the symptoms
axe the disease or the disease the symptoms. We
can only enumerate them here. I speak more
particularly of Cold Feet, Palpitation of the
Heart, Impaired Memory, Wakefulness, Flashes
of Heat, Languor, Lassitude and Dimness of
Vision.
SUPPRESSED MENSTRUATION,
Which in the unmarried female is a constantly re
curring disease, and through neglect the seeds of
mere grave and dangerous maladies are the result;
and as month alter month passes without an effort
being made to assist nature, the suppression be
comes chronic, the patient gradually loses her ap
petite, the bowels' are constipated, night sweat*
come on, and consumption finally ends her career

Dr. Wm. H. Gregg—Dean Sir: In February,
16C1, I was afflicted with sugar diabetes, and for
five months I passed more than two gallons of
water in twenty-four hours. I was obliged to get
np as often as ten or twelve times during the night,
and in five months I lost about fifty pounds in
weight. During the month of July, lb6l, I pro
cured two bottles of Constitution Water, and- in
two days after using if I experienced relief, and
after taking two bottles I was entirely cured; soon
alter regaining my UEnal good health.
Yours truly, J. V. L. DEWITT.
Boston Corkers, N. Y., Dec. 27, IS6I.
Wm. H. Gregg A Co.—Gents—l freely give you
liberty to make.use of the following Certificate of
the value of Constitution Water, which I can re
commend m the highest maimer:
My wife was attacked with pain in the
shoulders, whoie length of the back, and in her
limbs, with Palpitation of the heart and Irritation
of the Bladder. I called a physician, who at
tended her three months, when ne left her worse
than he had found her. I then employed one of
the best phy siciads I could find, who attended her
lor about nine months, and while she was under
nis care she did not suffer quite as much pain.
He finally gave ber up and said, her case mu in
curable. “For,” said be, “she has such
a combination of complaints, that medicine gicen for
one operates against some o her of her difficulties. ’'
About this time she commenced the use of the
Constitution Water, and,to our utter astonish
ment, almost the first dose seemed to have the de
sired effect, and she kept on improving rapidly
under its treatment, and now superintends entirely
her domestic affairs. She has not taken any of the
Constitution Water for about four weeks, and
we are happy to say that it has produced a perma
nentcure. WM.M. VAN BENSCHOTEN.
Wethersfield, Conn., March 2, 1663.
Dr. W. H. Gregg—Dear Sir—Having seen your
advertisement of “Constitution Water,” recom
mended for inflammation of the Kidneys and Irri
tation of the Bladder, having suffered for the past
three years, and tried the skill of a number of phy.
sicians with only temporary relief, I was induced
to try your medicine. I procured one bottle from
your agents at Hartford, Messrs. Lee, Sisson &
Co., and when I had used half of it, to mv sur
prise I found a great change in my health. I have
used two bottles of it, and am where I never ex
pected to be in my life, well, and in good spirits.
I cahnot express my gratitude for it; I feel that it
is all and more thaa you recommend it to be. May
the blessing of God ever attend you in your labors
of love. Yours, truly,
LEONARD S. BIGELOW.
THESE ARE FACTS ENOUGH.
We presenttbe Constitution Water to the public
with the conviction that it has no equal in reliev

placing so valuable a remedy in a form to meet the
requirements of patients and physicians.
