A . POSITIVE CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA..
/SE GREAT ANLERIOAN
DYSPEPSIA. PILL.
WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA. P.
DYSPEPSIA HAS THE FOLLOWING SYDIPTON3
lst. A constant pain or uneaciness at the pit of the
stomach, which is caused by a permanent contraction of
the stomach upon undigested food. It generally begins
immediately or a short time after eating; is often very
severe and obstinate.
211. Flatulence and Acidity.—The4e symAoms arise
from the indieestion of food, which ferments instead - of
digesting.
3d. Costivmess and loss of appetite.—These symptoms
are the effects of the unnatural condition of food in the
stomach, and the want of pare bile and gastric juice.
The stomach is often Painfully distended by wind; the
appetite is sonietimes voraaions.
4th. Gloom and Denienion of Spirits —This state
unfits many for the enjoyment of life. and - is canned by
the impure blood-furnished by iMperfect digestion :In
this stage of the disease,many persons commit suicide.
There ie a constant foreboding of dill; and an indiffe
roles and positive inability to Perform the codices of life.
sth.
..Diarrlicea.—After being first costive, the sufferer
is afflicted with &Lanham, *hi& leoWhlg to - a diseased
condition of, the bowels,produied .by the undigestel
food, which is evacuated ;in the same conditional when
eaten, and of course givesne strength to the system,
6th. Paineia all pal*? of the system, arise from the
action of impure blood upon the nerves: They are felt
chiefly in. the bead, sides, and breast, and in the extre
mities._ In many cases there is an uneasinessla the
throat, with a sense of choking or suffocation; the mouth
is often clammy, with a bad taste and farred_tongue.
7th. Consumptive Symptoms end Palpitation of the
Heart. —Many persons pronounced as having these die
eases, have, in fact, nothing bat Dyspepsia. the lung
and heart disease being only symptoms.
Bth. Cough.—This is a very frequent symptom of Dys
pepsia, and leads very often into confirmed consumption.
9th. Want of Sleep. —A very distressing symptom, re
sulting often in mental derangement.
10th. Somptoms of external relation —The patient is
affected painfully by cold and heat, which is owing to
unnatural dryness of the skin, and the skin is often, af
fected by eruptions and tettvs. The gloomy dyspeptic
avoids society as mush as possible.
nth. Vomiting. —A frequent and distressing symptom.
It relieves the pain, bat emaciates and wears out the
patient.'
11th. Dizziness. disiileSS of vision, headache, and
staggering in walking —These are very alarming symp
toms, which are speedily removed by our medicine; brit
if neglected are quickly followed by numbness and sud
den death. •
l3th.--It is impossible for us to give all the symptoms
of Dyepepsia in so small a space, bat the anove are con
sidered sufticient—if we add that the patient loses his
memory and attention to surrounding objects, and fre.
quentiy becomes morose and sour in disposition. We
should say. however, that pains in thijoirits and stiff
ness of the limbs, which go by the name of rheumatism
and neuralgia, are very often produced by Dyspepsia.
Also, a hardness of the muscles of the abdomen, which
become' contracted and hard and in some cases the belly
sinks, instead of being gently proMinent.

and a half I suffered everything but death from that
awful disease called Dyspepsia My whole system was

it; I became so costive in my bowels that l.wonld not

days; under this immense suffering my mind.seemed en

everybody ; I could 'not bear my husband nor my own
children; everything appeared to be horror. stricken to
me; I had no ambition to do anything; 1 - lost all my
love of family tnd home ; I would ramble and wander
from place to place ' but could not be-contented. I felt
that I wee doomed to hell,: and that there was no heaven
for me, and was often tempted to commit suicide, so
near ; _was my-whole nervous system destroyed, 'and also
my'mind, from that awful complaint, Dyspepsia, that
my friends 'thought it best — to .have me placed in Dr.
Kirkbride's Hospital, at West Philadelphia.. I remained
there nine weeks, and thought I was a little better, but
in a few days my dreadful complaint:was raging as bad
as ever. Hearing of the wonderful cures performed by
Dn'Wiehart'a Great American Dyspepsia Fills and his
treatment for Dyspepsia, my husband called on Dr.
d W onb li t a h rt e a c n o d ul s d tated e m m y e. caseto'him. He said he had no

So in three days after I called and placed myself under
the Doctor's treatment, and in two weeks I began to di
gest my food, and felt that' my disease was fast giving
way, and I continued to recover for about three months,
and at the present 'time I enjoy perfect health of body
and mind, and I most sincerely return my thanks to a
merciful God and WtsharT, and to his great Ameri
can Dyspepsia Pills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial,' that
saved me from an insane asylum and a premature grave.

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
. DR. WISITART: I have been a constant sufferer with
Dyspepsia for the last 'eighteen years, during whim ,
time I cannot say that I ever enjoyed -- a perfectly well
day.. There were times when the symptoms were more
aggravated than at others: and then it seemed it would
be a great relief to die. I had at all times an unpleasant
feeling In my head, lbut latterly my sufferings so much
incretteed that I became almost unfit for basin * of any
kind, My mind was constantly filled- with gloomy
thoughts and forebodings. and if I attempted -to change
their current by reading, at once a sensation of icy cold
ness, in connection with ,
a dead weight. as .it were.
rested upon my brain ; also a feeding of sickness would
occur at the stomach, and great pain to my eyes, accom
panied with which Was the continued fear of losing my
reason-
I also experienced great laisitude,debility ,and nervous
nese, which made it difficult to walk by day or sleep at
.night. I became averse to society, and disposed only to
seclusion, and haying tried the skill of a number of emi
nent physicians of varioua schoole. iinally came to tne
conclusion that, for this disease, at my present age, 45
years, there was no care in existence. But, through
the interference of Divine Prcvidence, to whom I de
voutly offer my. thanks, I at last found a sovereign
remedy in yonr Dyspepsia Pills and Tar Cordial, which
seem to have effectually removed almost the last trace
of my long liet of ailments and bad feelings, and in their
place .Lealth, pleasure, and contentment are my every
day companions.' JAMBS K SAUNDER 9,

DYSPEPSIA!: DYSPEPSIA!
Mosss Tosirz. of Cheltenham, Montgomery county.
Pa.,have suffered for more than one year everything
butdeath itself. from that awful diseake, called Dyspep
sia. I Employed in that time five of the moat eminent
physicians in Philadelphia, They did all they could
for me, with medicines and capping, but still I was no
better. ~I then went to the Pennsylvania University, in.
order to place myself in reach of the best medical talents
in the country; but their medicines failed to do me any
goad, and ofttimes I. wished for death to relieve me of
my, sufferings., t.ut seeing Dr. Wishart's advertisement
in the Philadelphia Bulletin; I' determined to try once
more but with little faith. I called on Dr. Wishart, and
told him if I could have died I would - not have troubled
him, and then related. my sufferings to. him The
Dr. assured me if he failed to care. me of Dyspep
els, it would be the first case ln - two yeare.` so I pat
myself under his treatment; and although I had beam
for months vomiting nearlY everything I ate, my
stomach swollen with wind, and filled with pain be
yond description, I bought a box of. his. Dyspepsia.
Pills, I used them as directed, and in ten days I could
eat as hearty a meal as any person in the State of Penn
sylvania. and in thirty days was a well man I invite
any person suffering as I was to call and see me. and I
Will relate my suffering and the great cure received.
I would say to all -Dyspeptics, everywhere, that Dr.
Wiehart is. I believe, the only person on• the earth that
can cure Dyspepsia with any degree of certainty.

No. 1028 OLIVE STREET,
. PHILADELPHIA, January 22,1863. 5
DR, WIMIART—Sir : It is with much pleasure lam
now able to inform you that, by the, use of your great
American Dyspepsia Pills, I have been entirely oared of
that meet distressing complaint, Dyspepsia I had been
grievously afflicted for the last twenty-eight years, and
for ten years of that time have not been free from its pain
one week-at a time. 1 have had it in its worst form, and
have dragged on a most miserable existence—in pain day
and night. Every kind of food that I ate filled me with
wind and pain, it mattered not how lightor how small the
quantity a continued belchingwas sure to follow. I had
no appetite for any. kind of meats whatever.- and
my itietTßSS was so great for. several months before
..j heard of your Pills, that I frequently wished for death.
7 bad taken everything that I had heard of for Dyspepsia,
without receiving any benefit; but on your Pills being
recommended to me by one who had. been ellled by
them, I concluded to give them a trial although I had
no faith in them. To my astonishment, I foaled myself
getting better before I had taken one•fourth of a box,
and after taking half a box. I am a well man, and can
eat anything I Welt. and enjoy a-hearty meal three times
a day, without Inconvenience from anything I eat or
'drink. If you think proper, you are at liberty to make
this public and refer to me. I will cheerf ally give all
desirftble litftr.Mation to any one who may call on me.
Yours, rAtpAciftilly, JOHN H. BABCOCK.

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
I, Samuel D. Haven, have been a great sufferer with
Chronic DS spoliate and Inflammation of the Kidneys for
three years. I employed three or fonr of_ the most emi
nent physicians of Philadelphia. also Burlington
county, N. J. They did all for me they could, bat all to
no purpose: - 1 was constantly filled with awful pain midi'
distress, and with const int belching of wind and soar
acid. My tongue was covered with a ,white - coating of
MUCUS until it cracked in large furrows, and was dread
faily sore. Oh ! I °Dimes 'wished for death to ratio:a.
me of my sufferings, for I had lost all hope ,of ever
being well again I made it a subject of prayer to
God that he would direct me to 'some physician
or medicine that would cure-me. I•-was told to
read an advertisement of Dr. Wishart's, in the
Philadelphia Ledger.. of a great cure .smade upon
Mr. John Babcock, of No. IC2S Olive street, Philadel
phia, by the great American Dyspepsia Pills. .1 went to
the Doctor's •Office, and placed myself under his treat:
ment, and told him if he failed to cure been would be
the last effort I would make. It has six weeks
since I commenced the use of his medicine, and I am now
a well man, free from all pain and distress, and can eat

GEN. LEE'S ARMY FALLING ItACK.
The Success of Gen. Meades Strategy.
[Correspondence of the New York Herald.]
HEADQUARTERS ARMY Off THE POTOMAC,
October 19 1863
, ,
Again the tables are turned. By the strategic
skill be has shown in all his movements, General
Meade has baflled all the designs of the skilful rebel
chieftain, and succeeded in placing the Union - army
in a position where it would be madness for any foe
to attack it, and now the discomfited rebel' army
beats a hasty retreat, attempting by rapid move.
nimbi and shrewd devices to get back to his fortified
poi3itionipn the Rapidan before the exultant forces
of the Union shall fall upon and utterly destroy
him. A rout without a battle, a victory withouVem
engagement, utter and total defeat of a powerful
army purely by strategic movements—such are the
results of the campaign just'closing. The enemy has.
gone,' and kende ia pursuing. In thnfar distance,.
awarhif in the-vicinity of Thoroughfare'Glap, the*
booming of cannon announces that our advance is
engegid With: the rear guard of the flying rebels,
spreading consternation and terror throughout their
already disorganized and demoralized ranks. Asiwe
retired.'from the Rappahannock , to the fortified
heights of Centreville, the • enemy exulted and
'Shouted victory. Every stip they advanced Seemed
to them an assuraxienthat Washington was within
their grasp. Succeeding in getting possession of the

Wince of our little army, then, wheeling, destroy us,
leaViiirWashington as the easy and sure fruit of
their success. • .
It Was a plausible scheme and adroitly managed ;
but the able commander of the Union forces wee
more adroit than they. He understood their plan.
BY ceaseless and untiring vigilance helrept himself
poi:Seated of all their movements - and designs, and
by marches of unparalleled rapidity, in which hie
noble traops suffered without murmuring the loss
of reat for successive nights, marching on both
through daylight and darkness, in storm and Gold,
through 'hunger and fatigue, and all manner of pri
vation and endurance, such as has never character.
ized the march of any army eince the terrible re.
treat of the French from Moscow, he overcame the
two - days' start the enemy had gained, and his ad
vance
WSII already in possession of the heights when
the - rear guard—the noble 2d Cori:ors-engaged the
enemy's advance full ten ranee distant, on Broad
run.
- -
• Full and detailed accounts have been given you'of
the brilliant rennin of the enemy at Broad run by
the gallant Warren. As it was no part of General
Meade's plans to give the enemy battle on any other
than ground of his own choosing, Warren was not
allowed to remain at Broad , run after repulsing - the
enemy, but was immediately withdrawn to the east
of Bull run. Our line of defence was then taken up
on the semi-circular heights east of that stream,
Centreville forming the apex of the curve. The line
extended froth the vicinity of Chantilly on the right
to Union Mills on the left, with advanced points
covered by cavalry and small bodies of infantry be
yond' either flank to provide 'against flank move
ments. Birney, with the lst Division of the 3d
Corpif, wasristat ioned in front of ratites. Station,
Which was made the temporary depOt of supplies,-
and, by the ;disposition of hie troops and the
of Buford and Gregg, provided against any attempts
of the-enemy to gain OUT rear via the 00cOquani
which they at one time threatened. The left or our
-
line proper rested at Union Mills, and Was, formed
by the remaining two divisions of the 3d Corps,
-under the immediate command of-General French,
[the temporary commander of that corps. General
Sedgwick, withihe eth,Corps, was posted in the vi
cinity of Chantilly, - forming the right of the line,
with the cavalry division of General Kilpatrick to
protect his flank. The Ist Corps occupied the , im
mediate heights of Centreville. The 2d and sth were
held in readiness to be thrown wherever most
needed. ,
Information received at headquarters after - our
line was formed tended to show that Hill's rebel
corps—the force that had engaged - Warren at Can
treville—was moving up on the south ride of the
"Orange and Alexandria Railroad, as if to assail or
turn our left tiaras, while Ewell- end -au -single Qivi- -
Longstreet's Corpir that accompanied the
movement was working to the right. His informa
tion seemed to disdlose a plan to turn the heights of
Centreville by both flanks simultaneously, with the
intention of uniting again somewhere in the vicinity
of-Fairfax Court House, presuming on thus getting
between us and Washington, and fighting us away
from our, ase. The discovery of this design by Ge
neral Meade was of itself sufficient to frustrate it.
The scheme was too daring to be attempted after
diseovery s and was, therefore abandoned so soon as
tbe enemy discovered, by the disposition of our Ca
valry on the left, that lt,.had been discovered by us.
The rebel column was pressing on in all .haste by
the wade mouth of the railroad leading through
Wolf Run Shoals, on Thuraday morning, when they
were intercepted by Buford's cavalry, and sPirited
skirmishing commenced. While General- Buford
threw himself in their front, tie forces of General
Gregg came upon their flank with such earnestness
that fora while the rebel column seemed in immi
nent danger of being stampeded between the two
attacks. But their general showed no' little skill,
and as the perils thickened about him nerved him
self to overcome them. He seems to have become
speedily convinced of the impracticability of the
Plan he had undertaken, and wheeled his column to
the left, with a view of moving across our front to
rejoin the main rebel force on our right. In doing
this, he percelied that he was liable to attack at
every step, unless by a very wide detour away from
our lines he should make the distance too great for
us to assail him, or by some flint he should attract
our attention to points. removed from his line of
march. ,
He seems to have accepted the latter alternative,
and accordingly made a strong demonstration at
McLean's Fgrd, on Bull Run.
-Information obtained since this affair establishes
the fact that Hill, on withdrawing from McLean's
Ford, abandoned the attempt to cross our front, -and
on Eridaymorning retired down the railroad, leav
ing a very thin picket line of cavalry in our imme
diate front. On their withdrawal they destroyed
the railroad and all the bridges beyond Manassas,
and otherwise obstructed the route of any pursuing
column thet.might be sent after them. Their retire
ment from `from the right of our line did not occur until
Saturday, and Was similarly covered by leaving a
mounted picket force in front of us, It is supposed
that Ewell went away by the Warrenton pike ; but
whether, he has destroyed tp.e bridges on that road
or not Lam unable at this writing to say. -But
whether. he did so or not, it is - clear his labor did
him little good, as from the firing that still eon
_
tinues in the direction of the Bull Run Mountains
the inference is plain that our advance has over
hauled him, and compelled him. to make. frequent ,
halts to check us,
It is almost conclusive that. this movement of
Lee's is a ruse to deceive Meade,.by,leading him to
expect a raid on a large scale, while the real design
is to keep Meade from, advancing his forces, the
rebele,:in the meantime, hurrying reinforcements to
,Bragg's army in the Southwest. , By destroying the
railroad and bridges time, will thus be gained to'
carry out this design, and, doubtless, the major part
, of Lee's army are even now in, transit for. the
Southwest. '
THE CAVALRY. FIGHT NEAR . MANASSAS
JUNCTION. - -
[Correspondence of the New York Tribnne.)
WASHIN,GTOIio Monday, OC.t. -19, 1863,-Your,Cor
respondent "Beta," who left the front this afternoon,
brings the following :
We had another sharp. artillery duel yesterday be
tween a heavy body of rebel cavalry. and General
Merritt's brigade of BufordN cavalry. General .
Meade ordered a reconnoissance for ,the purpose of
discovering the whereabouts-of the enemy's infantry
lines, and as our forces ware'advancing on the road
toward - Warrenton, about three miles beyond Manes-,
sas Junction, they came suddenly upon a _line .of
mounted rebel pickets, who retreated before our ad
vancing column until a, concealed battery opened a
heavy lire of grape and canister upon them, which
compelled a retreat.
Four pieces of Battery G, 2d Repliers, were soon
brought into position,.and a very spirited artillery
lice was kept up,, with vigorous skirmishing, for
about three hours. As we were greatly outnumber ,
ed, our forces fell-bael, and encamped , for.he night,
expecting to push Me reconnoissance further this
morning ; but, as only a few guns have been heard
up to 3 this afternoon, it is presumed the enemy an
ticipated, by a few hours, our own change -of, base.
Portions of the Ist, 3d, and sth Regulare,eth Penn
sylvania, and filet New York Dragoons, were en.
gaged, and escaped without the loss of a manond
only about a dozen slightly wounded. During the
skirmishing, Chaplain Gracey, of the. Glh Pennsyl
vania Cavalry, captured a rebel cavalryman, evi
dently attempting to escape from his own ranks,
who, however, asserts that there were no foreea of
infantry anywhere, in that vicinity. He supposed
them to be massed west - of the Rappahennock,
northeasterly rroldpulpeper.
GENERAL SICKLES.
General Siekleallade adieu to his old corps,tii.day,
and returned to Washington,.Gerieral Meade not
coneidering him 'well enough to resume hie ocirn
mand.
CONDUCT OF CONSCRIPTS.
Let me relate a fact , which has a very important
bearing upon the conscripts of the army. When Ge
neral Warren was attacked at Bristow, he threw his
infantry from the hill, south of the road, down
through the swampy ground, and ensconced them
along the embankment of the railroad, 'under a
shower of shell:and musketry. The raw conscripts,
and there were many' hundreds of them in the com
mand, gave themselves up for lost. Pale and trem
bling, they went for Ward, took position with their
comrades, and performed their portion of the fight.
.Everi whistling title hall, every shrieking shell
they apprehended was destined to destroy, them" ill*
diVidually. It was, beyond their cotnprshertshin
whelk tigd thatAer /lad 9haratet and beatt4 - it No2ne
enemy in s fierce fight, and capraved several him=
dred of rill's veterans, five guns, three standards;
bealde killing several hundreda of rebels,- and eotne
out of the conflict unhurt. Their in:Mediate com
manders- sal that they fought equalryWelt With
thone of two'kears' experience, exhibiticrnoMigaif
of fear, when the first Impulee had'prissed.
That Gen. 'Warren is the man to make gaol , at
diem la indisputable, and that he commands' gal
lant corps is undeniable. The following isiclantli'
eh aracteristic :
When falling bas during the night atter the lght
at Bristow, he saw a aonecrilit straggling along, sp."
parently without any weapon. "To what command'
do you belong I" astred'Clen. W. " Second Corps?'
replied the man, with a strong nasal twang denoting
his recent departute from the Eastern States..
"What are you doing here without is gunt" de
manded the General. The' man gave an evasive
reply,- indicating that that was his own business.
" What have you got under your stoat there?" in.
quired Gen. Warren. "A. gun, you . —fool," re.
turned the Conscript, partly revealing a gun beneath
the folds of his ample.coat. "There's no discount
on that man," remarked Gen. Warren to an aid, and
passed on . . Should this 'meet the brave fellow' eye, he
will learn that he addressed his complimentary re
sponse to Gent Warren, and will wonder, perhaps,
why he was not punished.

A GALLANT. NAVAL EXPLOIT.
Mom the Charleston Courier. ]
One of the Most daring and gallant naval expions
of the wai, distinguiskedAy the greatest coolness,,
presence of mind, and intrepidity of the brave men
associated in the enterprise, was performed Monday
1 -This was no less than an attempt to blowup
, :thellnited States steamer New Ironsides, lying.on
Morris Island. Thiough-not Dilly meeting • the ME
pectatiens of those who- conceived the plan, and
!those 'vihorfcarried it into , execution, it has called
forth the unbounded-ridmiretiooof our citizens for
the brilliant heroism of the-ractora in their hangerome
' nut patriotic' and self aaornibing undertaking. , Ar
general feeling of deep anxiety - prevails to learn the:
,_late
,late of two oi.the gallant epiritowho went out with'
the expedition. There is,every .reason to believe,
however, that these gallant men, with the means of -
safety about their persons, endeavored to reach
shore, and have been picked up-by some of the 'final
nry's launehea. We gather the following particulars .,
fromother participants in the affair :
The torpedo steamer David, With a crew of four
'volunteers,consiating of Lieutenant Wm. T. Gifiesell,
J. 13. - Toombs,'Chief engineer, and' James Sullivan,
fireman of the gunboat Chicora, with J. W. Cannon,
assistant pilot_of the gunboat Palmetto State, left
Sontif Atlantic'wharf between six and seven o'clock
on Monday evening, for the purpose of running out
to the Ironaides,, exploding a torpedo under that
vessel near amidships, and if possible blow her up.
The weather being dark and hazy, fatored the
enterprise. The boat, with its gallant little crew,
proceeded down the harbor;' skirting along the
. shoals on the inside of the channel until nearly
abreast of their formidable antagonist, the New
Ironsides.
They remained in this position for a short time,
Circling around. on the large shoal near the anchor
age of the object of their visit. Lieutenant Glas
sell, with a double barreled gun sat in front of
Pilot Cannon, who had charge or the helm. Chief
Engineer Toombs was at the engine with the brave
and undaunted Sullivan , -the vol unteer fireman,
when something like the following conversation
ensued
Lieut. Glaseell—" It is now 9 o'clock, Shall we
strike her?" '
- Pilot Cannon—" That is what we came for. lam
ready." .
Engineer Toombs--" Let us go at her then, and do
our beat."
Sullivan fireman—" I am with you all, and wait.
mg. Go,ahead." ,
The boat was now put bow on, and aimed directly
for the Ironsides: As the little steamer darted for
ward, the lookout on the Ironsides hailed them with
"Take care there, you will run into us. What
steamer is that?" ',Lieut. Giessen replied by dis
charging one barrel at the Yankee sentinel,. and ten
dering the gun to Pilot Cannon, told him there was
another Yankee, pointing to one with his body half
over the bulwarks , and asked Cannon to take care
of him with the other barrel.
' Thenext moment they had struck the Ironsides
and exploded the torpedo about fifteen feet from the
keel, on the starboard side. An immense volume of
water was thrown up, covering our little boat and,
going through the smoke stack, entered the furnace,
completely extingniehing the, fire. •
In addition to this, pieces of the ballast had fallen
in the works of the engine, rendering it unmanage
able at.that time. Volley after volley of musketry
from the crew of the Ironsidea and fromthe launehea
began to pour in upon them. Lieut. Gleaml gave
the order to back, but it was found impossible. In
this Condition, with no shelter, and no hope of es•
cape, they thought it best to surrender andhailed the
enemy to that effect- The Yankees, however paid
no attention to the call, but barbarously continued
the fire. It was then proposed to put on their life
'preservers, jump overboard and endeavor to swim to
the shore. All but Pilot Cannon consented. The
latter, being unable to swim, said he would stay and
take his chances in.the boat. Lieut. Giessen, Engi
neer Toombs,and Sullivan the fireman,left the boat.
The two first having on life-preservers, and the lat
.. ter supporting himself on one of the hatches thrown
to him by the pilot. - Engineer Toombs becoming
embarrassed with his clothing in the water got back
to the boat and was assisted in by Cannon.
The boat was then rapidly drifting from the Iron
_ _ non, fortunately- found - a match, - and- .
lighting -a torch, crept back to the engineodiscover
ed and removed the cause of its not working, and
soon got it in order. Engineers Toombs and Can
non reached their wharf in the city about midnight,
fatigued, and presenting a wornout appearance; but
rejoicing at their fortunate and narrow escape.
With regard to the damage of the Ironsides no.
thing positive is known. At the moment of striking
there was great consternation on- board. It was re
ported that the crew in-gangs were hard at work at
the pumps all day yesterday. Small boats were
seen constantly passing between the Ironsidea and
the monitors. At nightfall, however, she remained
at her old anchorage.
INTERESTING TELEGRAMS.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 13, 18(3.—The firing continues
slowly this morning. Some interesting information
is derived' from the two prisoners captured Satur- •
day.might. They state that batteries Gregg and
Wagner will be ready to open upon the city in two
weeks ; that Gee. Gilmore is mounting many 300-
' pounder Parrott guns; that a new four-gun battery
has been constructed between Gregg and Wagner;
that Parrott, the inventor of the Parrott gun, is On
Morris Island, supervising the mounting of guns,
and that Greek fire consists of oakum soaked with
a mixture of ether and guano.
They say that the huge iron-clad frigate Dictator,
with' three additional monitors, is daily expected
from New York.
. CHARLESTON, Oct. 16.—General Bemiregard, an
compenied by General Pierre Soule and staff, re
viewed the troops of General Taliaferro's division
thin morning on James Island. The display was
• magnificent, and the troops presented an imposing
appearance. The length of the line was about three
mites. The banners of many of tke regiments were
inscribed with the names of battles in which they
had been engaged.
Our batteries are firing about as usual to-day, the
enemy making no reply. It is rumored that the
Yankees have refused the French vessels outside
permission to communicate.

take a moment as the army moves along to write
you of:.the incidents of the cainpaign up to this
writing. The forward movement on the part of the
Army of Northern Virginia, began 'on Thursday
morning last, at which time Generals Anderson and
Beth moved their divisions from the vicinity of l'ey
tone, Ford and Rapidan Bridge,, where they had
been encamped for some time past, up to and be
yond Orange Court-house,.' on the road leading
to Cavels Ford, and within two miles of that
point, where they encamped for the night, and set to
work in cooking rations for three days. The trans
portation was in excellent order, and the men were
in the finest kind of spirits. The only drawback
to the general fine appearance of the army was the
fact that a number of men in each of these divisions
were barefooted. Thursday evening everything was
astir, and everybody was in conjecture as to what
was on foot. At. an early hour, Generals Hill and
Ewell went to General Lee's headquarters, and had
a Prolonged interview. On Friday morning, at an
early hour, Wilcox's brigade, which had, up to this
time,.been lying gill in their camps, near Barnett's
Ford, took up the line of march, forming.the rear of
A. P. Mine column. All of these troops crossed the
Rapidan early Friday morning, rebel fashion, by:
wading, at Cave's Ford, and proceeded on toward,
Madison Court House. At dawn Roden' division,
which was in the advance of Ewell's corps, moved
up to Orange Court House, and soon were followed'
by Johnson's and Early's divisions. These troops:
moved, across the river, at Barnett's Ford; and
thence to the south of Hill's carps, on the dirt road
to - Madison GourtHouse. =
Meanwhile, thiamovement had been so - eecretly
conducted that the enemy knew nothing of our
plans or,pnrposes, We were still keeping up eeshow
of force in the. front of them on the Rapidan, by
burning heavy camp tree, and by keeping. up, our
regular picket force in front. And, the better• to
conceal our advance, we had so moved our force as
to keep it concealed from the enemy from their look
outs on. horoughfare Mountain, and othenelevated
points.. Friday evening, about 4 o'clock, Stuart be
gan to advance, • keeping on our right. ari we ad
vancgd, and so moving as to swing his column
around.toward Culpeper Court Houeeereathag on
Friday night not far below, and haute Madison
Court House. '
On. Saturday morning our infantrywere on the
movelt dawn, and crossed the Robinson river near
Criglersville, and a short time thereafter the caval
ry succeeded in flanking and capturing the whole of
the 127th New York Infantry, and ingethng posses
sion of Thoroughfare Mountain which had been
the day before a Yankee signafetation. The pos
session of the mountain enabled. us to watch the
movements of the enemy, , whilat -oura were still
concealed from them. About a o'clock in the eve
ning Stuart came up with the enemy's cavalry near
Janice City, a point about ten miles above Cabe
per Court House, and engaged them while our in
fantry, passed around to the left. The firing lasted
till after night, and during the engagement the ene
. my attempted to take, by charging, Illoorman's bat
tery, but were signally repulsed by Hampton's
On Saturday morning the enemy sent Buford
across at Germania Ford, on the Rapidan, for the
purpose of following in Lee's rear, and discovering
his object, and at the-same time to harass hies,; but
General Lee was tee old a soldier "to be eepght
napping." Fitz, Lee had been left behind to, mvide
against exactly such a contingency as this c and.RU`
ford soon "felt him," at Morton's Ford, on, the
Rapidan, across which Fitz. Lee drove, him, and
back as far as Brandy Station, where...l3Uferd,forined
a junction with Kilpatrick, who was : just : then 're
tiring before Sthart, who had premed hini,down the
Sperryville pike, and on by the Goardirine Church
road. Here the enemy made a stubbormresistanee,
bringing their infantry into action, biet itwas no go ;
"forward" was the word with U. and ; "backward"
for the enemy. Just hefote night, they gave back,
and oromeed the Rappahannock river.. In this tight
we captured some three hundred, prisoners, and
some fifty of their wounded also fell into our hands.
Our loss in the whole engagement is about seventy
five in killed and wounded. Thus , far, you will see
that our infantry have not been brought into play.
Our motto, however, is still "Onward," and, if
there is any light in the enemy, we will give them a
crushing defeat before the week closes.

Citizens of Ctilpeper say that' Meade, during his
occapation of that place, issued• daily one hundred
thousand rations. Froin this it would' appear that
he has an immense multitude at men,, but the
terial is bad: has men, not soldiers; fellows
who, though' possessing much stomach - for rations,
have little for fighting. This is proved:conclusively
by the flight of Meade before our forces. If he felt
he could have relied upon two-thirdeof his troops,
be would scarcely have permitted• himself to be
chased forty miles without once showing fight.

since the commencement of the war when energy
and promptness were so necessary' 'as , at present ;
there never has been a position contended for by our
armies of such vital importance:to the Confederacy
as that now in dispute between Braglyand'Rose

The President seems to be fully aware off the criti
cal crisis, and, has gone to take ' a personal . super
vision. His presence at this time will be invaluable.
It will be inspiring to the troops and give-confidence
to the people throughout the country. Whatever
may be said by the opponents of Preaident.Davis,
none will deny that he has a will of his 'Om, and a
strong one, and we are glad to see that ibis his de

Augusta last evening, and proceeded this morning
to the headquarters of General Bragg.
At .Pdarietta he was met by' Governor Brown, and,
after a short private interview, the Governor intro

THE VISIT OF DAVIS TO BRAGG
The Chattanooga Rebel has a very intereatiag let
ter from Bragg's army, which conveys the latest
intelligencewe have from it. We'copy a portion of
it:
ARRIVAL OF PRESIDENT DAVIS
The 'President is arrived, and has corners! all
men believe, to tarn things inside out, to renovate
the Army of Tennessee, to settle all its household
quarrels, and to set the troops moving on their
way. He hats just reached here. I only caught a
glimpse off him, fatigued and dusty, He is thin ) but
looks in better health than when he was last here.
He was met at Chickamauga Station by a suitable
escort, and conveyed to General Bragg'! head
quarters. I have not a doubt that the two- are
engaged .in earnest counsel while I am pen
ning these hasty lines. The. President has sought
this department, I am assured, on account of the
unfortunate diffieulties which have disturbed the
family of Tennessee, over which Gen Bragg pre
sided with such little tact. Thesuspension of Polk
—the arrest of Bindman—the flare-up with Forrest
—and the dissatisfaction of several others, all re
cuiring right on the heels of a victory, and in the
face of the enemy, are enough to excite the anxiety
of such sn administrative as Dlr. Mavis. His inqui
ries will be Mose, and his counsels general. He will
by no means confine himself to the commander-in
chief; but will consult equally with Longstreet,
Buckner, TM, and others. I have no doubt': the
Polk affair will be thoroughly sifted. The cavalry
business, too, will be settled. In short, the army
will be set on its legs again. The men are all right.
Order is only needed to be restored among the cap
tains.
The President mingles freely with the troops ' and
has made several speeches, which occasioned loud
enthusiasm.'

The correspondent of the Mobile Tribune writes :
Our army is In splendid condition, and, in. Aire
spirits, being most anxious for another turn, at the
rascally Rolserans.
From the great number of, additional tenteoTh the
ridges, it is evident the enemy has been largely re
inforced. With a glass they can plainly be seen
working like heavere on their fortifications.. There
is now but little doubt that such was the, rout and
stampede of, the enemy, had we followed• them up,
the last man-of them would have crossed, the Ten
nessee. As it was, a large portion Alidloseee, the
enemy burnin4 several houses at the. time, among
the refit the Spencer Hotel, formerly. owned by.
Crutchfield. But as we did notfollow,they recrossed
end went to work fortifying themselves.
It is reported that Gen. Longstreet was very
anxious be follow up our victory, and so advised
Gen. Bragg, but it seems that after.it was agreed- to.
do so, from some cause—want of supplies and other
eircumatancee—the pursuit was.abandened.
It is impossible to tell at whatmoment the conflict
will ba resumed, but from present indacatione it ivill
be sev.aral days yet. Every day of delay we g'..ve
the enemy an additional advantage over us.

The legitimate sequel to the withdrasval of Mr.

a course orgratification to that natural' pride of the
people, which hare so, long chafed under the endu
rance of the undignified and anomaloun-position to
which the extreme forbearance of our Obvernment
condemnedlis.
It was mortifying that our ministersahould be

and treated with contumely as a rebel and barbarian

The illogical attitude which it pleased ourGovera
meat to assume fully justified this-treatment. If

conduct. Accr edited to the United States. Govern

be nothing more than an Internal broil.' The into
rests of their countrymen might be placed in jeo
pardy, as they have •repeatedly been in the street
fights of Paris or-Madrid, or in the predatory war
fare of South America or Mexico. No questions of
a higher nature presented themselves. They had
but to ignore the existence of any organic - change,
and to continue as usual to protect the rights of
British subjects, and to derive instructions from
Lord Lyons.
:MORE NOR':INDICATIONS Ht RICHMOND
[From the Enquirer of the 13th.]
At a large and enthusiastic meeting of mecharpiee.
held in Richmond on the night of the 10th inst., a
series of resolutions were adopted, one of which, the
6th, is as follows :-
Resolved, That; awakened to a sense of the abject
posture to which labor and we who labor haie beam
reduced, and to the privileges which. as citizens and
people, the institutions of our country rest in 1113, we
will not sleep again until 'our grasp r has firmly
clenched the righteand immunities which are ours
as Americans and Men, until ourjust demands have
been met by the concessions of all opposing ele
ments. -
The Enquirermotioes the meeting editorially, and
thinks the resolution given above F‘ empty highfa
lutin, or an unbecoming threat of mob violence."
The Russian. Banquet at New :York.
The banquet to the Russian naval officers took
place at the. Astor House, in New York, on Monday
evening. There were nearly three hundred guests
present,. and the affair was splendid. Speeches
were made by - Mayor Opdyke, Baron de Stoeckl,
Admiral Disovski. .Admiral Paulding, John E.
Devlin, Rev. Wm. Boole, David Dudley Field, Judge
Daly, Recorder Hoffman, Gen. Walbridge and
others. _Secretary Seward was unable to be present,
but sent the following toast r" Health and honor to
Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian minister of foreign
affairs;:not more able in defending the policy .of his
own country than just and liberal in conducting its
relations with the United States." _
In reply to a toast, Admiral Lisovski expressed
his own-and my brother officers , admiration for the
brillianthistory of yourtnavy and naval officers,
whom we have known a long time before we came
to this eity, in different parts of the globe. [Cheers.] -
They are, gentlemen, your most noble , representa

ing circumstances, after the loss of my> ship, when.
left destitute of every article, to meet with all
American man- of-war. I will not dwell upon the
aid which was promptly extended, but I will never
forget the personal friendship shown by your oft
cers. [Cheers.] 'I will never-forget the words with,
which they met us us in the ward-room and the
cabin.. Every American officer, taking an officer of -
similar rank, said r, " Now, sir, - everything whisk
is in-this cabin, onehalf of it belongs to you."
Answering a compliment tothe Russian Emperor,
Baron Stoeckel esperienced deep gratitude for the •
compliment offered to his Imperial .Majesty, and, in.
the name of my"(overnment,l will express it, for
the unbounded kindness and hospitality extended
to A , diniral Lisovsky and the officers of our navy.
It a in be my duty, gentlemen, to bring to the notice
of-my illustrious master, these acts of friendship;
and I can assure'you it will be felt and deeply ap
