WAR HEWS.
We devote a large portion of tins
Vrcek s paper to news from the seat of
war. It is so glorious in its character,
that we are satisfied that uo one will look
for an apology for its appearance. If
Grant holds out as he has began, and
there is no earthly doubt but that he will,
even the most stiffnecked Copperhead
will be compelled to arant. tbat the
speedy end of the rebellion may be taken
for granted.
JJSF"Wc would call " the attention of
manufacturers of Farm Implements aud
Machinery to a circular addressed to them
especially, on the first page of this week's
paper. The suggestions contained there
iu should engage their serious attention
No more noble work can be engaged in
than to assist in alleviating the sufferings
of our sick aud wounded Soldiers. We
should be proud to chronicle that our
Manufacturers in these branches were rep
resented in the great June Fair by speci
mens of their handiwork.
THE DRAFT.
The following exhibits the deficiency
and excess of the borough aud several
townships in the coming draft. From it
each township will learn the number of
mcu required of them to fill its quota, or
the number for which credit will be .al
lowed on a future drafts.

Our Advertising Columns.
The favors of our advertising friends
Etill continue to crowd upon us. This
Week,
Messrs. Sontheimer & Herrmann issue
n new card to their mercantile friends,
in which they offer rare inducements in
shape of Bargains to purchasers. We
arc pleased to learn that their success is
even exceeding their expectations. By
the way, the ladies should see to it that
their merchants secure to them the privi
lege of purchasing, J English & Co's.
Needles. These are, without doubt, the
best needles in market, and as they are
Etuck in papers like pins, are secure from
loss and as handy as they can 'well be.
Sontheimer & Herrmanu have them by
thousands, so that merchants ' can have
no excuse for not keeping them.
X-Mr. Alexauderllaubcuold, through
the same channel informs our readers
that "time is moucy," and in his adver
tisement tells us where time can be se
cured cheaply and satisfactorily. He
comes among us well recommended as an
excellent workman iu his line of busi
ness, and one worth' of all confidence.
A short acquaintance has satisfied us that
he is a gentleman and very clever fellow
His Etock is worthy of examination.
Give him a call.
xuessrs. xrown x Keller, renew
f -r r rr v
their advertisement this week. From
perusal of it our readers will learn that
almost everything they can think of can
db lounu at mis csiauusnment. An ac
commodating spirit and low prices rule
at this establishment, where goods sold
are sure to turn out as recommended.
IU3 Mr. James Balleutine, also, makes
known his ability to supply the wants of
the public, with Fruits, Candies, Nuts
and Confections generallj'. We have
spoken of his establishment before, but it
will do no harm to inform our readers
that his store is really well worth a visit.
Won't be Transferred.
The Crisis. Sam Medary's paper, nub-
lished at Columbus, Ohio, has the follow
ing remark, touching the action of the
State Copperhead Convention:
"There can be no doubt of the fact that,
any attempt to transfer the Democratic
parly on to a war platform will be resis
ted with more determination than some
men, who would sell the country for an
office, suppose. They want neilher Lin
coln nor any of his Major Generals. The
strength, and the only strenth of the
Democratic party, to last, from first has
i'een opposition to this war unholy, bar
barous and ruinous. The above is cop
pcrheadism, pure and unadulterated, of
She Vallandighani, Long, Harris, Wood,
and Vorhees school. Opposition to the
war is its aaotto, and to denounce it as
an holy, barbarous and unjust on the part
sf the tTsion, in the face of the infamous
yfrociirea practiced in the jprisouhouse at
ItilvwiOttd', aud the" savage massacre per-
petrated by the rebels at Fort Pillow, is
the work of these sympathizers with trea-
sou and enemies of their County. Peace
is theirry aud their platform peace at
any price peace on any terms which the
rebels may impose. The allusion to Lin
coln and his major generals is uo doubt, a
fling at McCellan, though why the Peace
Party at any price should object to him
as a candidate we cannot couccive. He
uever did the rebels any harm. lie ru-
iued the noblest army ever before tbat
time organized in the couutry.byexposiug
it to disease and death in the swamps of
the Ohickahoininv. and nermittiu'r it to
be cut up and defeated in detail by the
insurgents thus savin"- llichmond for
them, which, had he managed rightly,
must inevitably have fallen then into our
hands, lor Je2. Davis had already sent
off his family and packed up his trunk t.o
follow. His policy and that of his faction
in the army led to 'the defeat of Pope, and
the driving of our troops in the defences
of Washington, and laid open .Alary land
to invasion, where the drawn battle of
Antietam, claimed as his victory, was so
fruitless of results, that Lee marched off
without hinderauce or impediment. We
know, therefore, of no better candidate
for an ultra peace party thau McClellan,
and think that bam Medary and his Cri
sis arc very foolish to object to him.

made by the Fifth and Sixth Corps to
our left, an attack was to have been liiade
at daylight, but no sound of battle had
been heard from that quarter
This manoeuvre, it is said, if success
ful, would place our forces in Lee's rear,
aud compel him to retreat towards Lynch

impression that Lee had retreated during

All our wounded that had reached
Belle Plain yesterday evening have ar

IRON IN THE BLOOD.
It is well known to the medical profession
that IRON is ihe Vital Principle of Life El
ement of the blood. This is derived chiefly
from the food ue eat; but if the food is not
properly digested, or if, from any cause what
ever, the necessary quantity of iron is not
taken into the circulation, or becomes re
duced, the whole system suffers. The bad
blood wili irritae the hearl, will clog up the
lungs, will stupefy the brain, will obstruct
the liver, and will send its disease-producing
elements to ail parts of the system, and eve
ry one will suffer in whatever organ may be
predisposed to disease.
The great value of
