SOMETHING MORE VALUABLE
THAN SILVER OR GOLD,

IT WILL RESTORE THE WEAK,
EINSTATE THE BLOOD IN ALL ITS ORIGINAL
VIGOR AND PURITY.
EX]
PROF. 0. J. WOOD'S
RESTORATIVE CORDIAL,
BLOOD RENOVATOR.
I. precisely wbat its name indicates; for, while pleasan
to the taste, it is revivifying
I exhilarating and strength
ening to the vital.powers. t also revivifies, reinstates,
and renews the blood In all its original purity, and thus
restores and renders the system invulnerable to attacks
of disease. It is the Daly preparation ever offered to the
world In a popular form so as to be within the reach of
all.
So chemically and skillfully combined - as to be the •
most powerful tonic, and yet so perfectly adapted'as to
act in perfect accordance with the laws of nature, and
hence soothe the weakest stomach, and tone up the di '
gestive organs, and allay all nervous and other irritation.
It is also perfectly exhilarating in its effectsi and yet it IS
never tollowed by lassitude or depression of spirits. It
Is composed entirely of vegetables, and those thoroughly
combining powerful tonic and soothing properties, and
consequently c..n never injure. As a sure preventive
and cure of •
CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, INDIGESTION, DYS
PEPSIA, LOSS OF :APPETITE, FAINTNESS,
NERVOUS IRRITABILITY, NEURALGIA, PAL
, PITATIUN OF THE HEART, MELAN
CHOLY, HYPOCHONDRIA, NI ,HT
SWEATS, LANGUOR, GIDDINESS,
AND ALL THAT CLASS OF CA

CALLED FEMALE
WEAKNESS AND
IRREGULARS
TIES-
THERE IS NOTHING ITS EQUAL.
Also, Liver Derangements or Torpidity, and Liver
Complaint, Diseases of the Kidneys, or any genera de
rangement of the Urinary organs.
It will not only cure the debility tollowing CHILLS and
FEY-ER, but prevents all attacks arising from Miasmatic
Influences, and cure the diseases at once, if already at
tacked.
TRAVELERS should have a bottle with them,
as it in
fallibly prevents any deleterious consequencesfollowing
upon change of climate and water..
As it prevents costiveness strengthens the digestive
organs, it should be in the hands of all persons of seden
tary habits. •
LADIES not accustomed to out-door exercise, should
always use it.. •
MOTHERS shOuld use it, for it is a perfect relief. Taken
a month or two before the final trial, she will pass the
dreadful period with perfect ease and safety.
There is ILO mistake about it.
THE CORDIAL IS ALL WE CLAIM FOR
MOTHERS, TRY IT:
And to you we appeal, to detect the illness or decline
not only of your daughters before it be too late, but also
your eons and husbands, for while the former from faLe
delicacy, often go down to a premature grave, rather
than let their condition be known in time, the latter are so
often mixed up with the excitement of business, that if it
were not for you, they, tee, would travel in the same
downward path until it is too late to arrest their fatal
fall. But tee mother is always vigilant, and to you we
confidently appeal; for we are sure your never-failing
Mimi.. will unerringly point you to erofessor WOOD'S
IIIet'IOBATIVE CORDIAL AND BLOOD RENOVATOrt as
tee remedy which should be always on hand in time of
need..

matter,:and no one .can have a doubt.
PRUF.,WOOD'S:RIDAORATIVE CORDIAL.—It It ree
Corded in clasSicit that Payche was once sent to a climate
warmer thamthe,Wtot Indies to procure a sample of the
hety't - rp lioserpi n e i ll Ii b ox. ,After some delay the
messenger returned, and as soon as the lid of the box
Was reinoved mit flew-all the ills that flesh is heir to.—
Fortunately litipswas found in. the bottom of the box.
Prof. Wood's Restorative Cordial revives the recollection
of the story, for it invigorates the blebdi aids the organs
of digestion, imparts etreugth to the nervous system, and
fordlles the citadel of health, so ,as to bid defiance to the
assaults of disease. It is 'a healthy tonic, composed en
tirely of vegetable productions and while it is exnilara
ting as pure wine, nett:Unions results can possibly follow
its use •It -is desideratuni in the medical world, and
those who are afflicted wittiloss of Appetite, Dyspepsia

'Um of the Heart, ate,., will here find un infallible panacea.
'St: Louisltaily Express.'
PROF, WOOD'S RESTORATIVE CORDIAL and BLOOD
-RENOVATOR is, without doubt, the best Tonic Cordial in
the world. To those who are suffering from general de
bility we would recommend its use; tor, while it is pleas
ant to the taste, it 10 strengthening to the eastern, and
will at once tend to remove ail impurities of the blood,
and eradicate all traces of disease. It can bo taken by
the weakest stomach, while those in good health will at
once feel its exhilarating power. We are. confident that
after using one bottle of this cordial none will be for a
day without it.—" New York Leader."
A PURE, HEALTHY TONIC, and one free from th
deleterious and injurious effects sure to fellow those iu
ordinary use, has long been felt to be a desideratum iu
the medical . world.. Such a tonic, and one so skillfully
combined ,from the vegetable kingdom as to act in per
feet actiordeamewith:the laweer nature, and thus soothe
the weakest stomach, and at the same time allay ner
vous and other' rritations,.and tone up all the organs of
which the hdrreitibelly is Com Posed; is offered in Prof.
Wood's Restorative Cordialand Blood Renovator. Hence,
it is perfectly adapted to cld and young. Reader, try it.
Thcemaistlsatave already done so, and the testimony is
universal in itslavor.—"New York Atlas!' •'
PROFESSOR WOOD'S RESTORATIVE CORDIAL AN .1.•
BLOOD RENOVATOR, for the cure of General Debility, or
Weakness arising from any cause, also Dyspepsia, Nerv
ousness, Might Sweats, Incipient Consumption, Liver
Complaints, Biliousnese, Loss of Appetite, Female Weak

ever Iceown to medicarscience. Reader, try It.. IT was
no TOO GOOD. We have no hesita ion in recommending
it, since we know it to be a safe, pleasant; and sure re

patch."
Before.noticing a patent medicine, we have to be cer
lain that it will prove itself to be all that it is recom
mended. And we would say that the Restorative Cor
dial and Blood Renovator of Prof. Wood will stand the
test fully, and, in fact, it is without any doubt the first
- article in-market for purifying the Blood and strengthen
ing the system. We have no hr --cation in recommending
Its use to alf.—"The New-Yorker."
LOOK TO YOURSELF IN TIME.—How many in conse
quence of efalse delicacy suffer from suppressed, pais
obetructed mensuration, and think - ; because they
aTe:ilicitiethat by-and-by nature wilt work haat clear
tlean'otistrdetione, and all come in right:in:Me end, little
dreansing that the seeds of death are already germina
ting In the system, because the Vital :energies are
im
paired, and the entire animal economy deranged, debili
tated; and yet, careless of themselves as they are, if a
remedy were set before them which would restore all the
inactions of the system, and remvigorate t e body, they
would take it, and thus be in time to save iliar lives.—
Parents, think of this, and at once give the I. a bottle of
Prof. Wood's Restorative Cordial and Blood B movator.—

LETTING' THINGS ALONE.
We have heretofore alluded to the demand of
Jeff. Davis, in behalf of the rebel States, to be
let alone. In this case, as in others of a simi
lar character, the cry comes "too late." High
waymen, freebooters, and villains of alldegrees,
never say "let us alone" while they are per
petrating their outrages and aggressions upon
the rights and the property of others. But
when they are seized by the sheriff or the mar
shal—when they are marched to the criminal's
box, they are apt to protest their innocence and
insist upon being "let alone." The following
record compiled by the Rochester Democrat
shows how the rebels let things alone as long
as they had it all their own way :
On the 28th of December they seized Fort
lidoultrie r Castle Pinckney, the -Custom Home,
Post Office and Arsenal at Charleston, all of
them indisputably the property of the Federal
Government.
On the 2nd of January they seized Forts
Pulaski and Jackson, and the United States
Arsenal at Savannah, all of them indisputably
the property of the Federal Government.
On the 4th of Jannary they seized Fort Mor
gan and the arsenal at Mobile, also the property
of the Federal Government.
On the 9th of January they fired into the
Star of the West, bearing the United States flag
and carrying provisions and reinforcements to
a United States fort.
On the 11th January they seized the United
States arsenal at Baton Rouge, and forts Pike
and Jackson.
On the`l2th of January they seized the Uni
ted States Navy Yard at Pensacola and Fort
Baraucas ' and have ever since been preparing
to attack Fort Pickens and wrest it from the
United States.
On the 31st of January they seized the Uni
ted States Custom House, at New Orleans, and
the Mint with its treasure.
On the 20th of February they took, by the
surrender of the arch traitor Twiggs, the mu
nitions of war and other public property iu
Texas.
On the 12th of April they bombarded and
captured Fort Sumter.
On the 17th of April Mr. Jefferson Davis in
vited offers for letters of marque, waging war
upon the private citizens as well as the Gov
ernment of the United States.
On the 13th of April the rebel Secretary of
War publicly proclaimed their intention to at
tack the national capital, and boasted that by
the let of May the;rebel flag would float, from
the Federal capital.
In every case of the seizure of public property
they hauled down the flag of the United States
and hoisted a rebel flag in its place.
These rascals have not the decency of com
mon thieves. The latter, when detected, are
generally willing to return what they have
stolen, but'these fellows, under the instruction
of Floyd & Co., while crying out "let us
alone," are actually trying to carry on their
plundering operations. And what is still more
indicative of their cool hardihood, they are
making all possible preparations for overthrow
ing the authority which has been so lenient
'towards them. If, as they declare, annihila
tion is the only alternative, so be it. Two
hostile governments cannot exist within the
boundaries of the United States, and if the
rebels force the alternative, let them not com
plain if the doom they prefer to submission to
the Constitution and Laws, is visited upon
them.'
MILITARY NEN.
A JUST COMPARISON AND CONTRAST
The following article; from the. North Ameri
can, contains a very just comparison as well
as fair contrast between the officers of the
army who haVe become traitors, and those who
remain loyal, which must command great at
tention and meet the unqualified approval' of
the reader. What is said of the officers who
are guilty of treason will apply to must of
their men. We commend the article to a care
ful perusal :
The questionlas.lately been upon every lip,
"where are we to find competent officers for
high positions in the present crisis ?" and,
coupled with this, is the statement that our
best officers, after ong training in service un
der the stars and stripes, have deserted us and
gone over to the enemy, while we are left with
out their equals. It may be vaguely answered,
with a sort of fatalism, that emergencies of this
kind produce military genius, as the French
revolution did Napoleon, and the Peninsular
war Wellington. But this is at best unsats
factory ; we want them before they can be the
production of the crisis. Let us look a little
at the facts and at the men who are available.
They may be contrasted, with no diminution of
pride on our part, with the hundred and more
who have gone into the southern service. Man
for man this may be done, and then we shall
have a rich residue in our favor.
Over against Jefferson Davis, who was train
ed at the Military Academy, and who, after
service in the army and in the Mexican war,
was elevated to a place in the Cabinet as Sec
retary of War, it were a sin to place our glori
ous old hero, General Scott, who suffered from
the blackguardism of the cidevant Secretary.
General Scott is his superior in everything ; a
great strategist, while Davis is a pretender ; a
patriot, while Davis is an ambitious and selfish
intriguer. Davis has indeed an iron will, but
it is oftener a will to do evil than a beneficent
one. General Scott is a magnanimous patriot,
who gives his own unrivalled military talents
and experience to the country without hope of
gain.
But leaving the commander out of the ques
tion, we are confronted with such names as,
Lee, Beauregard, Joseph Johnston, May, Ma
gruder, Emory, and others. How are to replace
such men, who are now a tower of strength to
the enemy? Let us analyze these names, or
rather their significates a little. General Lee,
the present commander of the Virginia troops,
is a scientific engineer and a personally brave
soldier; but he has been more overrated perhaps
than any marlin service. His personal presence
is handsome and commanding, but the Apollo

of the army when appointed a lieutenan
colonel of cavalry, and sent to the fr on
tier. He lacks energy for rapid combi
nations, and is not a highly competent general.
Respectable but not brilliant is the verdict.—
General Beauregard, formerly like Lee, an en•
gineer officer, is by far their best man. He is
cool, valiant, prescient, enduring, very muscu
lar, and very firm in purpose, and withal
modest. Colonel Magruder, the life of a social
party, " when glasses sl'arkle on the board,"
not more than competent to command a bat
tery, a show man, as vain as a peacock, is no
loss to the service. The army and his com
pany will not grieve fur him. He will
magnify his office in words, as he has done
often before. General Joseph Johnston,
twice wounded during the war in Mexico,
is a fine officer, and a loss to be regretted.
He was a captain of typographical engineers,
Lieutenant Colonel of the voltiguers, and more
recently Quartermaster General in the army.—
No man Stood higher than he. Colonel May,
who received praises for his charge at Resaca,
which were not his due, is a pretty good caval
ry colonel, and nothing whatever more. His
notoriety is his only claim to mention. Malor
Emory is a good officer, and his friends are
puzzling their brains to find out why he re
! signed. Rumor says he wants to return, but
the "door is shut."
NoW, look on the other side. For among all
who remain unmentioned there is no great
claim to remarkable talent, although doubtless
many of the subordinates have energy and edu
cation. For Davis we have Scott----God grant
him many days ! For Lee and Beauregard we
have Gen. Mansfield, a distinguished engineer,
uow Inspector General, whose command at
Washington has been consunitu.a' e; Delafleld,
long superintendent of the military academy; C
F. Smith, the very prince of light infantry com
manders; Franklin and Meigs, recently pro
moted, both men cf great talent thus far kept
down by the law or seniority, their names are
uow sure of distinction. For Magruder we have
Sherman, worth fifty Magruders : his soul is in
his battery, where Magruder's never was ; and
the men whos3 genius is being man.fested are
such as Butler, McClellan and others, who hav
ing resigned in peace, are now awaiting the
call of their country to take active service.
Col George A. McCall, formerly inspector gen
eral of the army, has again drawn his sword,
and is a first rate man: He comes, like Cincit
flatus, from his plough in Chester county, and
will give vigor -and system to the Pennsylvania
troops.
There are a few statistics worth nothing. Of
the One hundred officers from Virginia, not
more than forty have resigned. This is signi
ficant that. Virginia herself is at present under
leadership which the people will yet throw off.
A glance at the scientific corps of the army
(engineers, topographical engineers and ord
nance) will show that nearly all the officers in
-them are northern men, and amid the crowd
of resLnations they remain almost in
tact. They are of course the great intellectual
resource of an army in which the south
ern forces are deficient. The cry so often heard
that we are lett defenceless by the resi.znation
Of the best officers is thus seen to be entirely
without foundation. But we may here offer a
caution to the State government, not icdixect
ly connected with the subject. Let the best
men, men of military education, without re
gard to political pressure and wire pulling be
appointed to the offices now to be filled. We
shall deserve disaster if we make this a time
for politiCal jobbing.

OLD POINT.
WASHINGTON, May 21
General Cameron has ordered the most rigo
rous measures to correct the bad management
which has made the quarters of some of the
soldiers here unhealthy, and all will be right in
a few days,
The troops quartered in the Capitol are Inov
iug out to other quarters, so as to afford a
chance to put that building in complete order
for the next seAsion of Congress. By the Ist
of June it is expected that the troops will all
be removed.
There seems to be no doubt that the rebels
at Harper's Ferry have a good many Indians
serving with them.
The lively work performed by the steamer
Freeborn on the rebel battery near Norfolk,
and the captures she made below Fort Wash
ington, look like the real beginning of the
war. The Freeborn and her officers are quite
lionized. Stirring news is looked for by every
arrival from Old Point and its vicinity.

left Harper's Ferry, last night, for Grafton,
