Da. Wisnairr I have been a conitaat sufferer with
Dyspepsia for the last eighteen years, during which
time I cannot say that I ever enjoyed a rerfectly well
day. There were times when the symptoms were more
aggravated than at °tiers, and then' it seemed it would
be a great relief to die. I had at all . times an unplea
sant feeling In my head, but latterly, my suffering so
much increased that I became almost unfit for business
of any kind; my mind was continually filled with
gloomy thoughts and forebodings, and if I attempted
to change their current by reading, at once a sensation
of icy coldness in connection with a dead weight: as it
were, rested lama my braint also, ,a.feeling ofmickness
would occur at the stomach , and groat pain to my eyes,
accompanied with which was the continued fear of
losing my reason. I alai experienced great lassitude:-
debility, and nervousness, which madeit:difficult to
walk by day, or sleep at night: I became 'aVerse to
society, and disposed only to seclusion, and' haring .
tried the gk ill of a number of eminent'physlcians of sill'. "
rions schools, tinallytame to the-conclusion that; foi
this disease at my . present age (45 years) there was •no
cure in existence. But through the interferenee of Di
vine Providencii,- to whohi I devoutly offer my thanks,
I at last found' a sovereign remedy in your Dyspepsia
Pills and Tar Cordial, which seem to have effectually
removed almost the last trace of my long list of ail
ments and bad feelings, and in their place health, plea
cure: and contentment are my every-day companions.

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia!!
I, Moses Tobin, of Cheltenham, Montgomery county,
Penntylyanta, have antlered for more than one year,
ever) thing but death itself, from that awful disease
called Dyspepsia. I employed, in that time, five of the
most eminent physicians in Philadelphia. They did all
they could for me with medicines, and cupping, but
still I was no better. I then wont to the Pennsylvania
University, in order to place myself withia'reaeh of the
beet medical talents in the country, bat their medicines
failed to do me any good, and oftentimes I wished for
death to relieve. me of my sufferings, but seeing Dr.
Wisbart's advertisement In the Philadelphia Build - in,
I determined to try once more, but, with litho 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 en him. The Eoctor assured me that, if .he
failed to cure me of the Dyspepsia, it would be the first.
case in I wo years, so i put myself under his treatment,
and although I had been for months vomiting nearly
everything I ate, my stomach swollen with wind, and
Riled with pain beyond description, I bought a box of•
hisDyspepila Pills. I used them as directed, and in ten
days I could eat as hearty a meal as any person in the
State of Pennsylvania, and in thirty days was a welt
man. I invite any person suffering as rwas, to call and
see me. and I will relate my sufferings, and the great
cure I received. I would say to all Dyspeptics, every
where, that Dr. Wishing is, I believe, tho only person
on the earth that can cure Dyspepsia with any degree
of certainty. MOSES TOBIN.

PIITLADELPHIA, Jan. 22, 1563.
WISHART—Sir: It is with, much pleasure that I
i n , now able to inform you that; by the use of your
great American Dyspepsia Pill, .I have been entirely
gored of that mod distressing complaint, Dyspepsia. I
had been grevioinly afflicted for the last twenty-eight
years, andfg, ten years of that time have not been free
from its pain -one week at a time. I have bad it in its
worst form, and have dragged on a most miserable ex
istence—in pain day and night. Every kind of food that'
I ate filled me with wind and pain, it mattered not how
light or bow mall the quantity. A continued belching
was sure to follow. 1 had no appetite for any kind of
meats whatever, and my distress was so great for seve
ral months before I heard of your Pills, that I frequently
wished foi death. I• had taken everything that I had
heard of for Dyspepsia, without receiving any benefit;
but on your Pills being recommended tome by one who
had been cured by them, I concluded to give thorn a
trial, although I bad no faith in them. To MY astottleh
went, I found myself getting better before I had taken
one-fourth of a box, and after taking half a box, I am
a weft man, and can eat anything / wish, and sultry a
.hearty inept three times a day, without inconienience
from anything I eat or drink. If you think proper, you
are at liberty to make this public and refer to md, I
will cheerfully give all desirable information to any
one who may call on me. •

I, Samuel D. Haven, have been a great sufferer with
Chronic Dyspipaia and Inflammation of the Kidneys for
three yeare. I employed ttireeor four of the most emi

to no purpose. I was constautli 211 ed with awful pain
and distress, and with constant belching of wind and
sour acid. Mylongue was covered with a white coat
ing of mucus until it cracked in large furrowe,and was
dreadfully sore. Oh! I oftentimes wished for death to
believe me of my aufferings ' for I had lost all Lope of
ever being well again. I inade it a subject of prayer to
Clod tbnt be would direct mato sores physician or meal
eine that would cure me. I wan told to rend an adver
tisement of Dr. Wisbart's, in the Philadelphia Ledger,
of a great cure made '.upon Mr. John Babcock, of 1023
Olive street, Fbiladelphia. by the Great American Dys
pepsia Villa I went to the Doctor's °Mee and placed
myself under his trentinent, and told hint if he failed
to cure me it would be the last effort I would mike. It
has been six weeks since I commenced the use of his
medicine, and I am now a well man, free from all pain
and Merest., and can eat three hearty meals a day with
comfort, and feel perfectly well, Dr. Washart, I want

This is to certify that I satfoied for ten years with that
dreadful complaint called 'Dyspepsia. I suffered numb
pain and distress, with gloom and depression of spirits;
I was treated by eight different physicians for my com
plaints, rind at times was much better, bat then my old
disease, dyspepsia, would return with all its dreadful
realities, and re Y whole system was fast wasting away.
In this sick and debilitated elate, I was bawled a circu
lar of Dr Wishart's Great. American Dyspepsia Pills
anti Pine Tree Tar Cordial, which gave a corroct de
scription of my sufferings, and I determined to place
myself under the Doctor's care, and take his medicines.

began to got better, and so I continued three months, at
which time I was perfectly cared of all my comPlainth,

ADDRESS OF THE UIO STATE:
CENTRAL CO M MITTEE.
To the People of Penneylmnia
In the midst of a fierce conflict for the
national' life—responding to callS for large
reinforcements to enable 'our armies suc
cessfully to combat with. traitors—cheer , '
fully meeting the payment of extraordinary
taxation to supply the Government with
money to conduct the war; and submitting
to au immense increase in the prices of Hy . -
ing, the people of Pennsylvania hive never
theless been able for three years to main ,
tain a prosperity, and secure a - healthy
operation in all the branches of their trade,
unprecedented in the annals of any country:
while engaged iu the prosecutionof a' war:
In the trials of this bloody War, with, the'
struggle just reacbiugts-cliniax, the •peo,
pie of Pennsylvania suddenly: . find them,
selles involved in a political contest
vested with the highest impertance, be.
cause fratight with the most momentous is
sues. Ordinarily . ; heretofore, political On,
tests .meant only. a choice of policy•as to
the manner of administering the Govern,
ment. The struggle of parties was for the
possession of .the powers of *Government;
, and merely to control their operation. NoW,
however, our political contests have re
solved themselves into a direct and a posi..
tive issue for the safety and the permanence
of the Government ; because, politically
as well as sectionally, the contest at the
ballot-box and in the battle-field must de:
tide whether the Union 'shall- exist or
perish with the triumph or defeat of one or .
the other of -the contending parties. Hence
the unwonted importance with which our
political campaigns are now. invested. Par
ties are - now divided on issues which vi
tally concern the Government: They. are
composed of friends and enemies of that
Government. To choose ' between • these
parties equally interests the cause of loyalty
and that of treason. • No man can stand
neutral between the two, and all that are
not fairly for the Government will be just
ly recognized as its enemy. Admitting that
such is the new iimiortance assumed by out
political contests, we have an- excuse as
well as a justification for entering on the
contest fast approaching, for the amend-
Meats to the ConStitution ' with all the zeal
in our nature, .and , all the devotion that
should characterize the patriot and the.
lover of his country in his effort to serve it.
It would seem that on an amendment to.
the. Constitution• granting the soldiers right
to vote there should be no division. - Among
a free people-particularly, who are admitted
always...to - be the most intelligent, - such a
right-should-be so well grounded in com
mon and statute law as to 'need no action,
at this late day, for its exercise and vindi
cation. The soldier, in all land; alike
among civilized and barbaric nation; has
ever been affrnitted to the highest honora
conferred by the governments . beneath
Whose banners he fought 'His valor, his
sacrifices, and his devotion, hai , e ever been
regarded as themes for the poet, subjects for
the painter, and material for the historian ;
and thus the calling of arms became one of
honor—one which elicited the noble rivalries
of compatriots ; and, where civilization re
fined the instincts and elevated the character
of men, war has been so conducted as to
force combatants to respect and-honor each
Other's qualities—the victor still to treat
the vanquished as a ALAN. The Consti
tution and 'laws expressly declare that
no man shall be deprived.of his citizenship,
except for high crimes of which he shall be
charged : and proven guilty. He must be
summoned to meet such a charge of crimi
nality in the presence of judges whose
oaths bind them to do him entire justice.
Be must be insured a trial by'a jury sworn
impartially to consider his case. If found
guilty, the sentence of his judges may re:
suit in his disfranchisement—but disfran
chisenient is not aimed at as a result of his
punishment. Disfranchisement as a direct
punishment is only made to follow the
highest crime known against the State..
Yet hi the • flice of these facts,. and hi oppo
sition to all equity, there aro, thoie in the
State who -insist that disfranchisement
should follow the highest service which a
man can perform for his Government.
There is ti strong Party to-day in Pennsyl-
Nallift, regularly organized, controlled by
• able leaders arid sustained 'by astute and
learned advocates, insisting that the ser
vice of citizen as soldier—the peril-
IMg of life and limb in the support of the
Government, the giving up of domestic en
dearments, the sacrifice of hilsiness' inte
rests', and the yielding of all personal com
forts, foi felt for those thus engaged all poll
tical right, every franchise of a free-born
or coustitutionally-adopted American citi
zen. The monstrous iniquity of such a
claim is at once apparent, however it has
been maintained by our highest judicial
tribunals. Its injustice can only be sus
tained by sophistries founded hr the worst
political prejudices, so that the sooner the
Constitution and laws are made -plain and
rendered explicit on this subject; and post
ed where every man can-read and under
stand them, just so soon : do we secure the
strength and majesty of the . Government
in the confidence and respect of the go
verned—just so soon do we make our good
old State worthy of the past. valor of her
sons; and glorious in the future. American.
citizenship -bas its virtues, and these their
merits. . .Each virtue. can only be exalted
by sentigthe Government under which
they lldtithilil; • but'if that service is made a
badge of kegradation, will it: not be more
' - natural formers of honor and spirit and
true courage:.to=resist its rendition that Vo
luntarily to accept its, duties? The citizen
soldier feels when he takes up arms it is to
defithd, not destrey, his political rights.
- The man who sacrifices his business intc
•resta, and for se stifthlated time surrenders
• his' ,, 'perstitial -';liberfy, cannot understand
why he shenl&be• deprived of his political
righti. :,The.,sett . - 'ice of arms does not blunt

died recently in an ambulance, on his way to the
general hospital at City Point, from which plate he
was to have been removed to his home in

the son of David N. Sinn, Esq., of year city, and
was noted in his regiment for his bravery, and in
private life for his gentleness of spirit. His com

seems that they either intentionallyor inadvertently

hundreds of negroes are daily coming Into head
quarters, from , which place they are immediately

NEAR PETEnsuunc,;, Va., July 5, MI.
BEATY TIRING ON THE FOURTH.
Last night, as I was closing my despatch, I re
ferred to a heavy firing on our right. It seems that
It was caused by a concentration of rebel batteries
against the lines of Cieneral'Bstdy Smith, with tho
.undoubted Intention of silencing his pieces and de
stroying
_lds works. General Smith returned tho
fire with great activity, and dismounted two pieces
in his action. One of the officers told me that the
ball struck the muzzle of the rebel gun, exploded,
and tearing the iron, actually blew the piece off of
Its carriage. It was one of the most singular, as
well as finely-aimed shots I have ever chronicled.
THE POSITION OP THE
remains precisely the same as it did two weeks ago.
There Is no perceptible; change. Gen. Ferrero, of
the 4th Corps, moved his (the 4th) diVISIOH n day or
two since to do picket duty at the extreme left,
during the abience of . the, 6th Oorps on the *.ilson . ,
raid. The negroes have returned, and are now at
their old quarters in the 9th Corps. These colored
treops v must be praised for their suporlority over, the,
white soldiers In the matter of marching., When the..
move Marie referred to was, made, I counted :hie
twenty-seven stragglers out of the entire division.-
Most of these were lame, and quite old 'men. In sa,.
division of white troops I have frequently seen at
least one-third of 'them straggling . -most inexcusa
bly, and making a mar*.of four hours a lengthy .
drawl of as many days. •
AN AMUSING REBEL LETTER
was handed me by an officer of the 6th Corps, which
was written by a gentleman of intense secession
proclivities, to a lady of like feelings, named "Mrs,
George W. Finley, Clarkesvilio, Va. , The letter
never gained its destination, for the simple reason
that it was taken from ono of the post offices on the
road travelled by Wilson's cavalry. The letter has
no envelope attached, but the author having con
cluded from sheer necesity to descend to primi
tive times, it is wrapped up and sealed a Ia ISOI
with red sealing wax. It bears a ten cent stamp,
with King Jeff's profile upon It, which had not boon
disfigured by the postmaster previous tee its cap
ture. As the. author of the letter writes in a style
far above the manner ordinarily attempted by the
Southerners, I think it- will be of interest • to your
readers to copy It entire. - -

Mr DEAR MAOGIE: Without ?laving. anything
Particularly Interesting to say, I write because libe-
IMve it to be agreeable to you to receive a Jotter
from me. I have not yet received a letter from our
dear adjutant, but I do not wonder at it, as the coin-.
nunications within the lines of the enemy are liable
to so many interruptions and casualties. I am
aware, my dear child, that your hopes of his speedy
return Were highly:raised some time ago, and that
those hopes, through' the utter heartlessness of our
enemies, hove thus far been disappointed. But I
. still hope and trust that, by some means at the com
mand of Providence at an unexpected moment, we
shall be cheered by the tidings of his speedy deliver
.: nee. In the meantime I know that his disposition
arid good "SeniewllL"prompt" him to adopt that sort
of deportment aswill conciliate as much respect and

SIORIIITAHT I`P.MT-9 OF BITTLESCIL
Purveyors In an army like this aro an institution
capable of being made of great use to the soldier;
but when they see fit to ask exorbitant prices, they
should either be expelled from the lines or com
pelled to be more reasonable in their demands. It
is outrageous the way the thing Is, now working,
and the only excuse they can give is that theartioles
cost them two prices before they get them here.
They say they pay thirty dollars per day for vessel
charter. Suppose they do, is it to be Imagined that
six-penny merchants and broken-down ironmonger s
must only engage in the trade, making' y the
change one hundred and fifty per amt. ) A. sutler
should be a well-established merchant, and not
make an excuse for the fact of paying any nominal
sum per diem for charters.
To give an Idea of what is charged I quote a few of
their rates : Lemonade, made from tartaric acid
(and a most Injurious beverage), 10 cents per glass;
cheese, 55 cents per pound; cakes (such as ginger
bread, sold atawelve for a Sixpence), seven for2s
cents; canned fruits seventy-five cents per can
higher than is asked In Washington; boots, from
510 to $3O per pair; shoes, $4 to 518. This Is a ear&
ple of what our brave men are required to pay for
the little •luxuries of life that are brought to the
field. The authorities should examine into the
truths of these statements r and act Immediately in
the' premises:

REBEL ZIOVE.IIENTE
The report that communication is completely
severed between Petersburg and Richmond is in
correct, although it is, doubtless, somewhat inter
rupted. Several batteries command the road at
certain points, but trains still run irregularly, the
long range rendering the running of the blockade
comparatively sale. Most of the trains, however,
nass through during the night. On the afternoon
Of the 4th' inst. a rebel train, consisting of fourteen
cars, loaded' with troops, and having a battery on e ,
board, snored from Petersburg toward Richmond, s'
successfully running the gauntlet of a mortar bat
tery on Smith's line. 'Understanding the import-.

enemy have, probably, taken every precaution to
guard against an attack on our part.
A constant (idled° is kept up between the pickets,

DLEAPFNOTION IN TILE YANKEE FLEET
Two deserters from the Yankee fleet lying below,
Dutch Gap came into Fort Drewry yesterday Loom
ing, 28th: They wore intelligent men, and had a
good deal to say. It may bo of interest to repeat a
part of their statements. They say everyan in
the Monitor fleet would desert If ho could gets
chance, The-Yankees have set to work removing
the torpedoes in the river, and tho obstructions re
cently sunk by themselves in Trent, , s reach. While
on a torpedo, fishing expedition on Tuesday night,
they picked a Chance and• carno Into our lines. They
say that the Eire of our rains nearly knocked one of
the Monitors into a cocked hat—so disabled her, in
fact, that she had to be sent to Fortress Monroe, but
that only one man was kilted upon her. They gave It
us their opinion that If our rams had come down to
the obstructions, and thence opened on the Yankee
fleet, that the latter would have been terribly
damaged. The Examiner adds : There is no doubt
but that Grant is preparing for a grand attack, and
there may be some truth In the story of these desert
ers, so far es concerns the removal of the obstruc
tions.—ldern, June 28th.

fifteen miles north of Rolla, came across fourteen
horses hitched near the mouth of ono of the unex-

horses, that they belonged to guerillas, and that
their owners were concealed near by, they com

then, stationing themselves around the entrance,
inalltuted a blockade. Several hours afterward the
rebels sent out one of thoir number with a flag of

.At noon' the gale again sprang. up, sweeping
tumultuously over the roof and spars, carrying
away two. One, George Chase, swam back, but on
reaching his support; turned black, from having
swallowed seawater , and diet?. All through that
dhy and night the storm continued, moderatin
towards morning. The sky was overcast the secon d

and still through the long forenoon did the burning
rays of that terrible sun fall hotly upon them. At
the last moment relief came. The French bark
Claire, Robert, master, discovered the raft—their
signal fortunately still fling—and despatched a.
boat to their assistance. Tenderly were - they lifted
into it, and from thence transferred to the ship.
It would be • but reasonable to suppose that mis
fortune had now done with them. Not so. For
whilst the officers and seamen of the Claire could
not be too kind, dressing their wounds, and in every
possible way administering to their comfort, the
master treated them with a harshness and severity
uncalled for, ipost cruel under the circumstances,
and with a niggardliness that evinced a most mean
and contemptible nature. Before their strength
was restored, whilst their trembling limbs were.
yet swollen and cracked, so that - the blood
would ooze • from their feet In walking, he :com
pelled them to do duty with the members of his
crew. With an abundance of live fowl and pre
served fresh meats, with ten casks of wine in the hold,
he yet confined them to an allowance of salt pork
and beans - for dinner and supper, which; with
coffee and hard bread for breakfast, composed their
tare—substantial enough, doubtless, but iii adapt
ed to nourish men so nearly famished. His officqrS
were reprimanded for taking medicines from the
ship's chest for their relief. That ho was one quar
ter owner of the vessel, and too penurious to be
at any cost, personally, in assisting thou; is the
only reason that can be alleged for his conduct.
The sailors and the officers, however, divided their
rations of wine and food with them, and they recu
perated more rapidly than could possibly - have been
expected. The survivors are Wm. Palmer, George
D. Blake, and James Anderson. They were picked
vp at noon, January 27th, having been seven days
and six hours on the raft. The Elvin sank in about
let. 23 south, lon. el east.
It may seem improbable that life should be sus
tained so long under such privations, but the consul
assures the Journal that there is no cause to doubt
the truthfulness of the narrator. "Had you listen
ed to the sailor's words," he exclaims, "and seen
his still attenuated frame, his blistered face and
limbs yet swollen and scarred, with partially healed
sores, there would turn been no room for scepticism
in your mind. I have suppressed many of the inci
dents of their, life during those seven long weari
some days upon the raft, but your own imagination
wifl readily conceive their nature, and perhaps
more satisfactorily and as correctly follow their
occurrences as I could delineate them with the pen.
Note, for seven days on that fragile raft, over which
the waves would wash at every swell, alone on that
vast Southern • sea. surrounded with the merciless
shark, overhead a torrid sun, no water, no food but
a dead man's leg, their comrades-dying before them !
I Fbudd ered whilst hearing. It was, indeed, most
horrible."
Thrilling Narrative.
A. U With" TRAIN DASHES INTO ANOTHER GO
ING DOWN A MOUNTAIN SIDE.—A correspondent of
the Missouri Republican, of the eth, was a passenger_
on the train from Chattanooga to Nashville, which,'
on the 2 , 0[1i ult., met with what might have been •a.
dreadful catastrophe. Ho gives thrilling details of
his experience, having escaped uninjured. The
road passes over the Cumberland mountains. On
the eastern slope the train is pushed'up, but on the
western slope the train slides down, its motion ar
rested by a close application of the brakes, and, if
necessary, a reversal .of the engine. About mid-'
night on the day in question, the correspondent was
asleep, but was startled suddenly into wakefulness
by an unusual, extraordinary noise. On looking
through the glass door, at the end of the car, its
origin was manifest; he beheld a sight 'which' no
mortal Man,. having once looked upon, could ever
forget. . •
Two.trains had started at the same time as the
one in'whl hhe rode. It was about half way down
the mountain (the grade being very steep), about
two miles horn the loot of the grade. The two
trains In the rear wore at the usual distance,
"when suddenly," exclaims the correspondent, "as
if the brakes were out of order, and would not work,
the train behind us started forwaid with the rapt--
day of lightning, and came tearing furiously to
ward us. Our engineer put on all steam in the en
deavor to escape; the engineer of the crazy train
re,yersed his engine, but it was all in vain!' The
&slump under too much headway It was when
itjralskreached to less than a hundred yards of us.
thaMnseoke and looked out. Like a destroying.
'dienon,'bent upon our annihilation, seemed the ter
rible engine. Its wheels wore running-in a reverse•
direction, but under the fearful force it had previ
ously acquired, it would no longer obey the -motion
of the wheels. It was sliding onward to destroy us!.
and at times the wheels, fixed upon the track, and'
balanced between the two forces, one urging the 10-;
connotive forward, the other endeavoring to pull it
back, tore from the rails a stream of fire. Then the
reversing force would whirl them round for a'mo- •
meat with the most awful rapidity.
"I rushed toward the hind end Of the car with:
the design of leaping out. But by this time the
monster behind us had nearly reached the end or
the car. The next instant our train was struck, and :
bounded forward fora few feet, as if shot from a.
cannon, still, however, remaining upon the track.
We were struck again, and this time our ear, with I -
know not how many others, was thrown entirely
from the rails. The fearful speed at which we hail
been going in our endeavor to escape the • pursuing
engine now insured, our destruction. A mad ru
onward of about twenty feet ; a dreadful sound as
we ripped op the rails and ties underneath us; then.
a lurch, hurling us with fearful violence from one
side of the car to the other, and the huge box in which .
We were confined was rolling and tumbling down
into a gorge'of the Cumberland Mountains. •
" During the few seconds of the descent before the
stroke, -the whole dread reality of the situation'
stood like nn awful picture before my eyes. I felt ,
palpably that the next instant I should probably
be a mass of quivering, shapeless flesh ; yet., .
strange to say, I. did not, as many are said to do.
under such circumstances, recall my past life, nor
did I bestow- a thought upon the future ,• an the
faculties of my soul were concentrated In the awful
present. The crash came ; a hump and n. roll, and all
was still. There was no light in the car, and. the--
absolute darkness into which we were plunged, the
wailing and moping of those who were hurt, the'
sickening smell of fresh human blood, the fearful .
uncertainty as to the fate of those on board whom "
you loved, the consciousness that the next instant ,
you yourself might be crushed to atoms—all these
things formed an awful combination of horrors.
There was another crash above us ; again the car •
turned over, but that last turn of our car raised In
my mind the Idea that, the whole of the foll Owing
train, with Its locomotive, might come down and.,
grind us all to powder. Then clime the burning, -
hoping, almost despairing desire to get outside or.
the ruined car.
"Dashing through a glass door, I finally emerge‘'
from the car. Lot me tell now what I saw. The,
accident had taken place upon an embankment.
The two passenger cars of our train had rolled down ,
about sixty feet, finally resting Against the trees.
The locomotive which had run into us had passed.
on with several of its cars, not leaving the track..
Four of them had tumbled off on the other side or
the embankment from us. One had rolled down.
upon our side, jest ahead of our two passenger cars.,
Another was resting with its fore end upon the top'
of the car in which I rode, its wheels thrust Into our
car, its hind end resting against the embankment, '
about half way down to our car, and: thus actually
forming an , immense bridge, under which a • man.
could Walk upright For the space of thirty or forty
feet, where the ear bad run after leaving the rails,
and before tumbling down the embankment, there,
was not a single rail or tie remaining—nothing but
the rough stones which had formed the ballasting of
the road I
i!When lights were procured, there were found
two score bruised, out,lacerated, and stunned, but
strange to say, not one person, as far as I could
learn, was killed outright! So wonderful seemed.
our preservation that I think no one failed to attri—
bute It to the gracious interposition of Almighty
God, and return to Him, some perhaps for the first
time in their lives, hearty, earnest, Fervent thanks"'
The, Raid and its Prospects.
To the Editor of The Press
Sin : The present raid of the rebels into Maryland ,
was a necessity, not a choice.
The large rebel torces, gathered from all quarters .
for the defence of Richmond, and the diffioulty of
supplying them with subsistence and forage, owing
to the wide destruction of the crops and animals by
our troops in Southwest Virginia and Camlinn,and
the cutting of rail communications in all directions,
as well as the accumulation of nearly fifty thousand
rebel sick and wounded in and about Richmond, has,
forced the authorities to detach heavy columns and .
send them North, for supplies of all kinds, as well:
as to three ton Washington, in the hope that a double
oblect might again be scoured, viz : plunder of horses.
cattle, and subsistence stores, and the oompelling of
• General Grant to withdraw his army tiom Ja1110.3,
river to defend our capital.
Doubtless the rebel sympathizers in the North'
have, in their letters, kept the rebels well advised of
the position of all our troops left to guard the Balti

But, both the traitors at. house, as well as those

the raiders aro allowed to get hack to their lines,
