Our Supervisors--An Honorable Ex-
ception.
In our article last wee,k, in regard to the
shocking and disgraceful condition of most
of the pub* highways in this county, we
did not mean to denounce all the Supervi
sors as lazy and inefficient. There are a
few, and a very few, exceptions, and among
them we are glad to number our friend,
IfuNnx JACOB, who has the oversight of the
roads in the southern portion of Franklin
township. Hagar is not only a good far
.btit a first- rate Supervisor, and indeed
:does everything well he undertakes. The
roads under his control are in excellent re
pair and condition, and may be truthfully
said to be the best carriage roads in the
Higher honors await gr.. Jacobs,
the people already talking of him for
e pannty Commissioner: He would make a
faithful and attentive public servant in any
position.
Returrie4
Ve understand that, on account of failing
health, Aasotom HEpox, Esq., of this place,
has given up his Clerkship in the Surveyor
General's Office, at Harrisburg. His neigh
bors and friends will be gratified to la .r of
ais return to the county. He is not only a
;.,. - enjal and courteous gentleman, but an
obliging and efficient public servant.

The War News.
The News li•om General Grant's ar
my bel,s;.c Petersburg is disheartening.
The labor of an entire month in con
structiag the mine, and thousands of
lives lost in the battle of Saturday, have
been rendered almost entirely unavail
ing. General Grant liqs been ()bilged
to give up the ground obtained at the
cost of so much blood and treasure, and
the sun set Saturday , night with the
lines of both 4rmies almost in the same
position they were when the operations
were commenced at daylight in the
morning.. The plans of Gemerf:/ Grant
were, well bud. Everything scented to
have been calculated with a mathemat
ical nicety regarding the time and place
of making the attack. The moment
the mine was eT.nloded the entire park
of artillery opened upon the rebel posi
tion, and, under its cover, and amid the
panic caused by the unexpected explo
sion of the volcano, an advance was
made by troops which gained the rebel
works and turned some of the guns up
on the enemy. To support these forces
negro troops were employed. As they
moved across the field they were met
by a concentrated fire from the remain
ing rebel batteries, the line wavered,
and thentell back in confusion. At
this moment the enemy made a charge,
, and, although it.was unsuccessful, the
flultines of the day were clearly lost,
and our forces were ordered to retire
Iyithin their original lines. The losses
o4r troops are reported as very heavy,
and, although it is' not stated to be a
fiiet, we may infer that many of the
dead and wounded have fidlen into the
hands of the enemy.-
The regiment Which was' blo%yn up
by Grant's mine in front of Petersburg,
was the Ist North Carolina regiment,
tbrnierly of Larkins' brigade, and com
manded by Col. Hoge. At the time
of the explosion it numbered but two
hundred and fifty men, having been
badly cut up in previous service.
One of the principal causes of hesi
tation cti the part of thn troops )ihif.;ll
led to the disaster at Petersburg, wyas
the belief that had they taken possef,s
ion of the hill which they were expeet :
ed to take, (1 which they could have
taken, which commanded the rebel
works and the town, bad been previ
ously mined by the rebels. For this
reason the troops could not he induced
to finish their work, and demoralization
was created which lost the fruits of vic
tory when it was within their grasp.
f-TFADQUATERS ARMY OF TUF, POTOMAC,I
August 1, 1864.
A flag of truce was permitted by the
the rebels from 9 till 5 o'clock to-day
to bury the the dead and bring off the
the wounded. Very few were found
Olive. Qf those who were alive sever
al died last night, and but few are eT.-
peeterf to recover. The ground for
two hundred yards was thickly strewn
with dead. The greater portion were
colored, 180 of the latter and 55 whites
were counted.
NEW YORK, August 3.—The Her

in progress for again changing the

Tribune and 'V'orld's Washington spe
cials intimate that Hooker will succeed
Meade_
CnvlNNAri, Aug. 3.—Gen. Hooker
left here this morning for Washington.
The Commercial says that his retire

by the appointment of (.-i t en. Hoiyard to
succeed Gen McPherson.
The second invasion of Pennsylvania

'1 •
the military force acted with becoming
energy, all this misery would have been
avoided We still have assurances that
the disposition of our forces is such as
to successfully pursue and punish the
invaders. Genex4 Couch. and Cad

defenses of the state now. It is proba
e that there has been a slight conflict
of authority between the -iofl ee4 oditl

of this invasion will reveal. '
General Sherman his knight another

attacked General Shermares position,
and were defeatel in t'h'eir plans. The

Union - knees are now strongly entrench
ed and prosecuting the siege of Atlanta
with vigor. It has been General Hood's
intention to coippel ;General Sherman
to raise the siege, and, with this view,
he has assumed the offensive.

the Red river country, arrived in tiew
Orleans ,on the 25th, a majority of them
belonging to lowa and Indiana, the 25th
Indiana and 9th lowa, being largely
represented. The True Delta says they
presented a most, pitiable appearance,
being hatless, shOekss, Ynrl many of
them without sufficient glabs to cover

Ifrom the prison pen, Tyler, Texas,
' where from tour to six thousand are
confined in a stockade fort, at the, rate
of one thousand to

Their treatment was cruel and beyond
description. ,\ l;fny officers remaining
there are in irons, and all are suffering
for food, medicine and clothing. Two
hundred of these prisoners had been
vaccinated for the prevention of small
pox. with unhealthy virus, which has in
oculated them with most loathsome dis
eases. Immediately upon their arrival,
representatives of the western branch
of the Sanitary Commission and state
Agent* of lowa and Indiana, went to
work to alleviate their condition. Col
Hindman, by direction of Gov. Morton,
made four attempts to send rplief to the
companies at Fort Tyler, without suc

his willingness to permit. them to be
supplied. The agents of the different

immediately shipped liberal supplies of

Indian Depredations.
Sr. Louis, August 3.—The advices
from the' plains are to the effect that the
Araphoe Indians, numbering one thou
sand,are committing serious depredations
on the santa De road. All the horses,
mules and beef cattle belonging to Fort
Lamed, also a number of nrivate cattle
and one hundred and thirty horsesof the
Colorado battery, w;_‘re capt4re4 within
a quarter of a mile from that fort on tli
17th ult
In addition to this, emigrant trains
were robbed, destroyed, and 600 animals
ran off. About 20 persons were
and scalped. The Indians were threat
ening Ft. Laramie at last accoants, where
but 75 men were stationed. Over $2,000
worth of provisions had been given these
Indians a few days before the coannission
of these deeds.
An Appeal to the Benevolent eitizenn
of the North
CHAMIVLSDUI/G, July thp
morning of the 34:10 July, 1864, the
rebels, under the command of McCame
land, with a force of ahout five hundred
men, entred Chambersburg Pa., and
I demanded #ve hundred thonsana dollars
from the citizens under a threat of
burning the town. This requisition
was in writing, an was signed by Gen.l
Jubal karl7. It is now established by
indisputable proof that this demand was
a mere pretext on the part of the ma-!
yauders to cover up a purpose, formed
before they reached the town to bur n
it to the ground. Without giving any
time to remove property and scarcely
time enough for the citizens to remove
their fiimilies, they fired the houses of
our citizens in perhaps fifty places.— I
Over two hundred and fifty houses in
the heart of the town were consumed,
including all the public buildings, stores
and hotels, comprising abotit two-thirds
of a town, containing six thousand in.:
habitants. Thus a large body of citi
zens are reduced 'from comparative I
wealth to absoltite poverty. Many
families have lost all their bedding and
all their clothing, except such as they
bad on their persons. The loss will be
Largely over one million of dollars.—
Without aid from abroad, there will be
great sugering in our community. The

The Failure Before Petersburg.
The failure in the late attack on Pe
tersburg, which it is feared will have the
effect to intermit large military opera
tions in Virginia for some time, once
more centers the main interest of the war
in the military situation before Mante l .
It is obvious that when this point is wait
gained and securely intrenched, there
will be a considerable disposable . force
available for operations in Eastern quar
ters.
It is understood that General Grant
still expresses the utmost appfidence in
Lail ability to take Richmond.
Death of Father Waldo.
The venerable Father Waldo, of Prey:
fame, is dead. ThAyracuse
Courier says :
"Ere this item is read this morning,
the probability is that the venerable
Father Waldo shall have passed from
his earthly sojourn to the promised
land of the eminently - good and virtu
ous. He is now in his one hundred
and second year, and has been rapidly
sinking for several days past from :it
affection of the throat. At our latest
accounts last evening, the venerable and
respected steward of God's choice was
lying in an insensible stupor, from
which there was no hope of arousing
him. Even while we indite 'these few
lines his spirit may have passed to its
Creator Father Waldo is one of the
twelve survivors of the Revolutionary
War, and in his passage from life to
eternity, be stands prepared to be gar
nered, like unto 4 sheaf o± wheat tidly
ripe.

decay. The scrofulous
contamination is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, disordered digestion fora
unhealthy- food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin,
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
from pafents to children unto the third and
fourth generation ; " indeed, it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, " I will visit the iniqui
ties of the fathers upon their children." The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally
'Consumption ; in the glands, swellings which
suppurate and become ulcerous sores ; in the
stomach and bowels, derangements which pro
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver com
plaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous
affections. These all having the .same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. purification and
invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous distempers leave you.
With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you can.-
not have health ; with that " life of the flesh "
healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
is compounded from the most effectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who hare given it a trial. That it does com
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases : King's Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery
sipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Seale Head, Coughs from t *.
berculons deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
.Dyspepsia dt Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of' individual
cases may be found in ATER'S, AMERICAN
41-31.strao, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, And some of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tions of the country, in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
And its fatal results than are healthy constitu
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considera
tions has led us to spend years in perfecting a
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under the name of
AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, although it is com
beposed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of Sarsaparilla in alterative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and fester in the
blood ; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. By its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func
tions, and thus expels the distempers which
lurk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
Many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that promised
much and did writhing ; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, end there
remains no question of its surpassing excellence
for the cure of the afflicting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is a very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any other which has
ever been available to them,

proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debility. The
