To Gen. G. B. McClellan.
[From the Boston Post.]
I turn from the records of deeds in the past.
The heroes of old seem forgotten at last—
The bright page of knighthood attracts me no more,
Though the chivalric spirit as dreamed of before,
Grows real. nsd sheds on my country its ray—
With that country nlono can iny thoughts rest to
day.
Our dear native land, in the hour of its woe, —
Our dear olden flag that the false would. lay low, —
On the soil of the one shall our heroes arise.
While the folds of the other float out to the skios.
In their cause let the valor of old be outshone.
And the best of the deeds of the past be outdone.
But who may be second where Scott ig the ohief X
Who so gallantly work for his country’s relief?
McClellan \ McClellan i Our hearts with a bound
Declare that in the© a fit soldier is found.
With thee for a lender, so faithful, so brave,
Our cry shall bo “Onward! our country to save. ”
Bead on, then, oh youthful commander, lead on!
It is for the right that our fields must be won.
With thee at our head we wilLdo what men can.
7 Tis “the imm for the place** ami the place for
the man.
With patience we'll wait, with a cheer we will dare.
For why should we not, if McClellan bo there ?
God keep thee, McClellan —God keep thee and
guide!
Before Him the strongest.- are weak in their pride;
But we know he may grant to the prayer of the
weak
The victory that Annie# elec vainly might seek;
And so in our hearts shall be ever a prayer,
While our cry shall be “ Forward! McClellan is
there!’’

u ox to Washington! l * —lt is plain, however^
that our true policy now is n rapid and vigorous
movement upon Washington. Strong reinforce
ments have been forwarded to Manassas, and our
army before that place must now be very Strang.
Wc doubt not that our generals see and appre
ciate the importance of alacrity and energy even
more fully than the public; and ns they have done
their whole duty heretofore, wc have unbounded
confidence in their doing it in the present emer
gency. That most important movements are going
on in the country before is clear, from
the profound secrecy in which our generals take care
to veil them. We shall rest assured that when the
denouement does come the country will have reason
to applaud and to rejoiee. —Richmond Dispatch.

Further Particulars of the Fight on the
North Fabius, Missouri.
REBEL PORCH I,2OO— COL. WOODYARD’S FEDERAL
FORCE 400.
Adjutant Graff has returned to Canton, Mo., and
given the correspondent of the Missouri Democrat .
of the 20th, the following additional particulars of
the fight on the North Fabius, in which 100 Federal
troops whipped 1,200 rebels :
“At the least calculation there were fifty-three
rebels killed and some eighty wounded. There arc
forty-five new graves on the battle field. We lost
one man. It looks strango that none of our men
were wounded. The rebels, under Martin E. Green,
had one thousand two hundred men, Col. Wood
yard had only four hundred men. and completely
routed the rebels ; they shot three times out of their
nine-pound cannon, but neither shot took any effect
on our men. Col. Woodyard's men shot low, which
played havoc among the rebol cavalry. Their enn
non, which stood on a high elevation, shot a hun
dred .feet above our men’s heads. The fight was
begun on the night of the 14th. They spiked their
cannon and left it on the bluff; in the morning they
came and took it off.
“ Col. Woodyard was in the thickest of the fight,
and Capt. Win. Rose went before his boys cheering
them on to victory. Major B. B. King did nobly in
the fight. After the fight was over Capt. Rose told
his boys that if they saw him act as a coward in this
fight they should draw a musket and kill him.
Great credit is due to such men as Col. Woodyard,
Major King, and Capt. Rose. With such men on the
battle field we are sure that victory is ours.
“After the battle was over our men retreated to
Fairmount, where they were joined by Col. Moore’3
forces, which number 1,200, making with our 100
men, LOGO men; and in a few days we will hear of
good work of our troops amongst the traitors in
Northeast Missouri. It is reported that A. C. Wait
man, member of the Legislature. Elijah Patterson,
Jas. B. Eads, and others were taken prisoners.”

FOUR HUNDRED UNION HOME GUARDS WHIP NINE
HIXDUKD REBELS —TWENTY-FIVE REBELS KILLED
—ONE ON on? SIDE KILLED.
[Correspondence of the St. Louis Democrat.]
Canton, Lewis County. Mo., Aug. 16.
A special messenger, just arrived with a full ac
count of the skirmish near tho North Fabius. gives
me the following particulars:
Lieutenant Colonel Woodyard's command left
Canton, Mo., on the 14th and 15th of August, with
four hundred of his men, to give “ Sceesli’’ a little
brush. The first day they encamped at McCoy’s
(Dunker Hill.) On the night of tho 15th tlioy
marched to the Fabius, where the rebels, number
ing nine hundred men, under Martin Green,
were encamped in ambush. Our scouts and the
rebel scouts came in contact with each other and
opened fire. This was the alarm. Colonel Wood
yard’s men immediately sprang to their arms and
fought nearly half an hour, completely routing the
rebels, killing twenty-five and wounding a largo
number. Our loss was but one man. The rebels
ran in every direction, leaving everything behind.
On the next morning, Col. Woodyard’s com
mand went on the battle-field to hunt for “tro
phies," find found five dead bodies of the -rebels,
which they buried; tho neighbors around saw
two wagon loads of dead and wounded. The
number of the rebels killed is at least twenty
ilve; the number of wounded never will be known.
There are probably more than twenty-five killed
of the rebels—tho above number wc are sure.
Our minie muskets shoot a little further than tho
rifles and shot guns of the rebels. Our men took
two prisoners in the battle, twenty-seven guns,
sixty blankets, powder horns, hats and caps, boots
ned shoes, and a great many articles too numerous
to mention. TLL= is glory enough for one day.
Great credit is due to Col. Woodywnl. Major B. B.
King, and Captain Rost, for the great skill exhibited
while in the fight. The German company, com
manded by Captain Yust, and Captain Wil
liam Rose’s company, were in the thickest of the
fight, and showed that the Union men’s guns will
shoot. It seems strange that, in such a big fight wc
should only lose one man. There were two wound
ed on our side. The rebels had two field pieces in
the fight. The firing of the rebels went over our
heads.
A Prize Vessel Burned by the United
States Ship Vincennes.
fl'rom the Frruniulina I’loridijtH, Au:r. 7.J
On Monday last our town became greatly excited
by receiving the intelligence that tivo vessels were
in sight off our bar. one of them being pursued by
the other. Every place of sufficient height to ena
ble a per.-on to see the ocean and the two vessels
was crowded with persons, anxiously looking to see
what would be the final result of the chase. About
one o’clock, a messenger arrived in town from the
beach, bringing the intelligence that one of the
vessels, a large bark, was beached, and that her
crew had come ashore. Soon the drum was boating
to anna, and in a short time the Fcrnanilina Volun
teers, Ifkind City Guards, and also the private citi
zens, were armed and on their way to the scene of
action. After arriving at the beach, we learned
that the vessel ashore was the bark Alrararlu. a
prize captured by the privateer Jeff. Davis, about
i. 400 mile.-: to the southeast of our port, a prize
crew put aboard, and she was, by order, making
for cur town. The prize crew consisted of eight
men, the captain of which was a .Savannah pilot;
they came-ashore and brought their private pro
perty.
We soon learned that the Yankee captain, his
wife, and a negro were aboard, who refused tocomo
ashore, and who raised the American Hag, Unton
down, as soon as the prize crew left. A detachment
of our citizens subsequently went aboard, and
brought them on shore, and they are now in our
town. At this time the United States ship Vin
cennes, which had been pursuing the prize, came
in range, and soon anchored and fired a few guns at
the bark, which, however, did not take effect.
After impatiently waiting for some time, the bark,
carried by the rising tide, got afloat, and came
nearer to the shore—so near, in fact, that the six
pounders on the beach could throw a hall some dis
tance beyond; a company of our men manned the
yawl-boat brought ashore from the bark, and start
ed to board her, when it was announced that three
launches had started from the ship for the same
purpose; our men perceiving this, and not being
prepared to resist So large a number, returned to
the shore. The men from the Vincennes proceeded
to the bark amid a shower of six-pounders, which
fell thick and fast all around them. and. after
raising a United States flag, set fire to her, arid left.
A Captain- Sold. —A gallant volunteer officer
was badly sold a few days since. He was searching
the houses of citizens for arms, with a squad of
men, and on arriving at the residence of an old
gentleman named Hayes, was met in the hall by
his daughter—a beautiful black-cyed girl of
eighteen—who appeared deeply agitated, and im
plored the captain not to search the house. The
officer was sternly immovable, resolved to do his du
ty, and the more bent upon searching from the appa
rent dismay of the fair girl. “ Indeed—indeed,' ’ she
exclaimed, “ we have only three guns in the house.”
The captain smiled incredulously. “ Fetch
them to me,” said he, remembering the fate of
poor Ellsworth The young lady hurried up stairs,
and returned with an old rusty double-barreled
shot-gun that no prudent man would have ven
tured to load and discharge. “The others —the
other two'.'' demanded the officer. “ Oh, sir. my
brothers" sobbed the girl. “ I cannot take them
from them 1”
The captain pushed her on one side. I: Forward,
men!” he shouted, falling into the rear himself.
As the file of soldiers hastily mounted the stairs tho
young lady clung to the skirts of the officer, who
was the last to ascend, exclaiming, wildly.
“ But—but, sir, my brothers-you will not harm
my brothers ?
The captain shook her off somewhat ungallantly,
and rushed up after the soldiers, who. by this time,
reached the closed door of a chamber. After a
pause, the men pushed open the door, and rushed
in with bayonets fixed, when two juvenile Zouaves
of the ages of eight and ten years, fully armed and
equipped with wooden guns, appeared drawn up in
line before thcllf. At the same moment the silvery
laugh of the black-cyed beauty, was heard on the
-stairs, echoed by ft couple of chambermaids, who
were peeping over the banisters from above. The
officer bent a hasty'retreat, without making a seizure
of the two remaining guns.— Nne Vnrt Punduy

into that county and had established a stock ranchc.
One of the men was killed and the other horribly

A Child of Four Years in the Delirium
Tremens.—The St. Joseph (Mo.) Journal says :
One of the most remarkable cases of delirium tre
mens was related in our hearing a few evenings
since by a physician of extensive practice and ob
servation. He was called in to see a child some
four years of age. The symptoms indicated deli
rium tremens, but the age of the patient induced
the practitioner to doubt his own judgment until ho
had made the closest- scrutinj' into the case. The
facts deduced, together with the breath of the child,
convinced the physician that tho case was clearly
made out ns stated. Upon, questioning the father,
who kept a saloon, it appeared that he hnd been in
the habit of giving the child draughts of spirits, un
til it had acquired a taste for it, and would imbibe
when no one was present to control its appetite.
The result was a clear ease of delirium tremens.

an end to the pernicious doctrine of neutrality, in

of the medical profession of this country the Pure Crys

REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM; '
and haring received from many sources, Loth from phy

MOST FLATTERING TESTIMONIALS
of its real value in the treatment of this painful and ob

hope will commend itself to those who are suffering with
this afflicting complaint, and to the medical practitioner
who may feel disposed to test the powers of this valuable
remedy.
ELIXIR PROPYLAMINE, in the form above spoken
of, has recently been extensively experimented with in
the
PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL,
and with MARKED SUCCESS, (as will appear from the
published accounts in the medical journals).

PROF. WOOD’S
RESTORATIVE cordial
AND
BLOOD RENOVATOR
Is precisely what its name indicates, for while plea
sant to the taste, it is revivifying, exhilarating, and
strengthening to tho vita! powers. It also revivifies,
reinstates, anil renews the blood in all it 3 original
limit} , and thus restores nnd renders the system
invulnerable to attacks of disease. It Is the only
preparation ever offered to the world iu a popular
fonn, so as to he within the reach of all. So chemi
cally and skillfully combined as to be the most pow
erful tonic, and yet so perfectly adapted as t» act
in perfect accordance with the laws of nature,
mid hence soothe the weakest stomach, and tone
up the digestive organs, and allay all nervous and
other irritation. It is also perfectly exhilarating
iu its effects, and yet it is never followed by lassi
tude or depression of spirts. It is composed entire
ly of vegetables, and those thoroughly combining
liowerfully tonic and soothing properties, mid con
sequently can never injure. Such a remedy has
w lons' been felt to l>e ft desideratum in tho medical'
f£ world, both hy the thoroughly skilled in medical.
© science, and also by all who have Buffered from de-!
H bilily 5 for it needs no medical skill or knowledge;
even to see that debility follows all attacks of <lis-|
£ ease and lays tho unguarded system open to the
® attacks of many of the most dangerous to which 1
£ poor humanity is constantly liable. Such, for ex-;
S ample, ns the following: Consumption, Bronchitis,'
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Loss of appetite, Faintness,i
ft Nervous Irritability, Neuralgia, Palpitation of the 1
O Heart, Melancholy, Hypochondria, Night Sweats,*
© Languor, Giddiness, and all that class of cases, so!
g fearfully futal, if unattended to in time, called Fe
* male Weaknesses and Irregularities. Also, Li
ft ver Derangements or Torpidity, and Liver Com
ic plaints, Diseases of the Kidneys, Scalding or In
continence of the Urine, or .any general derange
meat of the Urinary Organ?, Tain in the Back,
Side, and between the Shoulder?, predisposition to
g slight Colds, Hacking and Continued Cough, Etna-
ciation, Difficulty in Breathing, and, indeed, we
g might enumerate many more still, but we have space
® only to say, it will not only cure the debility follow
* tug Chills and Fever, but prevent all attacks arising
■s from Miasmatic Influences, and cure the disease at
U once, if already attacked, and as It acts directly and
persistently upon the biliary system, arousing the
Liver to action, promoting, in fact, all the excre
ft tions and secretions of the system, it will infallibly
Q prevent any deleterious consequences following upon
H chnnge of climate and-water; hence all travellers
& {should have a bottle with them, and all should take
3 a table-spoonful at least before eating. As it pre
® Svents costivenesp, strengthens the digestive organs,
if. It ulioitlil be iu the lmuds of nil persons of sedentary
ft'habits; students, miniature, literary men* and all
© jladies not accustomed to much outdoor exercise
©{should always use it. If they will, they will find
jan agreeable, pleasant, and efficient remedy against
, those ills which rob them of (heir beauty: lor beau
£ ity cannot exist without health, and health cannot
© 'exist while the above irregularities continue. Then,
ft [again, the Cordial is a perfect Mother's Relief,
ft Taken a month or Iwo before the final trial, she will
pass the dreadful period with perfect ease and safe
ty. There is no mistake about it, this Cordial is
all we claim for it. Mothers, try it! And to you
we appeal to detect the illness or decline, not only
of your daughters, before it be too late, but also
your sons and husbands, for while tho former, from
false delicacy, often go down to a premature grave
rather than lettheircondition be known in time, the
■hitter are often so mixed up with the excitement of
{business that if it were not for you they, too, would
[travel in the same downward path, until too late to
;avro«T tlic-ir fatal fall* But the mother is always vi
gilant, Ami to you wo confidently appeal, for wc mo

IJHE WEEKLY PRESS.
THE WEEKLY PRESS
Has been established on a secure and permanent founda*
tion; but it is, in reality, a marvellous example of the
degree of favor which a rightly-conducted
LITERARY, POLITICAL, AND NEWS JOURNAL
Can receive at the hands of a liberal and enlightened
Public. Our most grateful tlmnks aro tendered for the
patronage alieaily bestowed upon us, and we shall spare
no efforts which may serve to render the paper even more
attractive, useful* aud popular in the future.
The general features of the Paper, in addition to its
POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPARTMENTS,
Will be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOGRAPHY, and Ori
ginal and .Selected TALES, chosen for their lessons or
Life, illustrations of History, depicture of Manners, and
general merit, and adapted, in their variety, to tho tastes
of both sexes and all ages.
OUR NEWS COLUMNS
Will continue to be subject to Unremitting Care And atten
tion, and all diligence be employed to make this papor •
compendium of all the principal events of interest which
transpire, at home and abroad.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS, now universally acknow
ledged to be of an elevated stamp, shall not only maintain
its present High Standing, but Blmil be enhanced by im
portant and valuable contributions from able Writers.
Deeming Purity of Morals the great safeguard of private
happiness and public prosperity, we shall carefully ex
clude from our columns everything which may reasonably
be objected to on the score of improper tendency* The
fields of pure Literature afford sufficient material to
make an
ACCEPTABLE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
Containing all the elements of excellence, without a single
objectionable lino; and the proprietor of THE WEEKLY
PRESS may justly claim that no head of a family need
hesitate to let its columns go uuder the notice of any
member of his Household..
THE POLITICAL COURSE
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS need not bo enlarged upon
here. Independent, steady, and fearless, it haß battled
unwaveringly and zealously in defence of THE BIGHT 9
OF THE PEOPLE against Executive Usurpation, and
Unfuir niul Tyrannical Legislation; ever declaring and ad
hering to tho doctrine that POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
constitutes the fundamental basis of our free institutions!
and that the intelligence and patriotism of our Citizens
will always ho preservative of a wise, just, and salutary
Government. These are the principles to which THB
WEEKLY PRESS has been committed, and to these U
will adhere.
