A HOME CERTIFICATE.
The following certificate is from a well-known citizen of
Harrisburg
HARRISBURG, Aug. 30, 1864.
To van PUBLIC :—lt gives me great pleasure to recom
mend to the public the medicine prepared by DR. J, J.
IIcBRIDE, which he calls the "RING OF PAIN," I was
induced to use it as an external remedy fora bruise, which
it relieved Immediately, and subsequently cured entirely
Its shrews iriduCed me to use it internally for Diarrhoea;
with which I was afflicted in a chronic form for nearly
eighteen months, and to such an extent that my kidneys
were seriously deranged. The medicine has cured me,
and certainly that is saying a great deal in its favor, when I
reflect how many other remedies I tried without espeti.
encing anything but temporary relief. For my pagt, I.
shall always keep a supply oC it in my house, believing
I do that it is a most invaluable family medicine.

I, ELIZABETH BRANSON, of Brandywine
Del., formerly of Old Chester, Del., do certify
that, for one year and a halt"l suffered' every
thing but death from that awful disease called
Dyspepsia. My whole system was prostrated
with weakness and nervous debility; I could
not digest my food; if I ate even a cracker or
the smallest amount of food, it would return.
just as I. swallowed it; I became AO costive in'
my bowels that I would not have a passage in
less than from four and often eight days; un
der this immense suffering, my mind seemed
entirely to give way. Iliad a dreadful horror
and evil forebodings. I thought everybody
hated me, and I hated everybody; I could not
:bear my husband nor my own children, every
ithingappeared to be horror-,strioken to me; . .
I had no . ambition to do anything; • I lost till
my love of family and home; I wor dd ramble
Land wander from place to place, bu t could not:
be contented; I felt that I was doomed to
hell; and that there was no hem en for me,
and was often tempted to cone mit suicide,
so near was my whole nervous system de
stroyed, and also my mind frog n that awful
complaint, Dyspepsia, that my fr lends thought
best to have me placed in DI:. Kirkbride's
hospital, West Philadelphia.% I remained
there nine weeks,. and thought I was a little
betteri .btit in a few days rry dreadhil 'com
plaint was raging as bad as ewer. Hearing, of
themonderful cures performed by Dr. Wilar-'
harts Great American Dypperoda _Pills Jim&
his treatment for "I:lyspopsia, my „husband'
called on Dr. Wishart an .d stated my case to
him. He said he had no, doubt he could cure
me. go in three days after I called and placed
myself under the Doctor's treatment, and, in,
two weeks I began to digest my food, and felt
that my disease was I, 4 ast giving "way, and -I
continued to recover for about three months;
and at the present time I enjoy perfect health
of body and mind, !aad Imost sincerely return
my thanks to
.a merciffil God and Dr. Wis

Pills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial that saved me
from an Insane Alylnm and premature grave.

Wisnarr—l have been a constant .
fferar with
Dyspepsia for the last eighteen years, during .whien,tllllo
I cannot ray I ever enjoyed a perfectly well t tay.. There
were times when the symptoms were more Aggravated
than at others, and then it seemed It would be, a great re
lief to die. I had at all times an unpleasant Di :Wight my
head, but latterly my sufferings so much incuaased that
I became almost unfit for business of any kind ; my mind
was continually filled with gloomy thoughts andVfore
bodings, 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 upon •may brain•,
also, a feeling of sickness would occur at the etc 'mach, and
groat pain to my eyes, accompanied with wht oh was the
continual, fear of losing my reason. I also. a rperienced
great lassitude, debility and nervousness, whir It Made it
difficult to walk by day . m• sleep at night. , I became
averse, Society, end disposed , only to - seil'hisioe, and
having tried the skill of a number of eminent :'phjaiclitas

in existence. But, through the interference of Divine
Providence, to whom I devoutly offer rarthanh i s, I at Mat
found a sovereign remedy in your • Dyspepsia Pills 'and

From the 201st'Aegiment.
CAMP NUM Gmarreviamn,
Friday, October 21st, 1864. I
Enrros, TELEGBAPH: — To-day the papers in
formed us of another glorious victory achieved
by Sheridan over Longstreet, in the Shenan
doah valley. Since we heard the terrific can
nonading two days ago, we were anxious
(that is, the - Union portion of our force, at
least) to hear of -the result of Wednesday's
battle, as it was positively known that the
brave Sheridan passed down towards Alexan
dria—probably on an important mission to
Washington—a day or two previous to the
battle; and it was natural to suppose that in
the absence of "glorious little Phil" the John
nies might gain a temporary advantage. But,
thank Heaven, such is not the fact, as we
learn from the newspapers, the substance of
which, no doubt, has been transmitted to
your readers long before this reaches you.
Nevertheless, it is gratifying to 'as here, and
has produced a feeling, among the boys that
is not easily described. Our paper reads:
"Part of Sheridan's force was attacked on
Wednesday morning, in the General's ab
sence, and Longstreet succeeded in capturing
14 or 16 pieces of artillery—a portion of the
wagon train--and some few prisoners. For
innately, however, Sheridan arrived in the
a'. m, renewing the battle, and succeeded in
turning the tide of affairs—chasing the ene
my beyond Strasburg—capturing 2,000 pris
oners, 43 pieces of artillery, and large num
ber of wagons and ambulances."
Now, Mr. Editor, is not that cheering
news ? If we only had a couple of those
lazy, brazen-faced war-dogs that lie around
" loose" in the State Arsenal at Harrisburg,
we would try and make these "Old Virginia,"
woods howl on this bright October morning.
But, there: as music enough here at This
writing. A regiment of colored wood-choppers
are in the woods all around us, felling the trees,
for a distance of a quarter of a mile inland,
on both sides of the road, for the purpose of
foiling the lzaish-whackers, in their attempts
to steal upon us unawares. This procedure
will put a sudden check to the enemy's future
operations in desixoying the. railroad, , along
which our regiment is posted. The, road is
to be cleared in this manner cleanup to "Thor
oughfare Gap," a distance of six or eight miles
westward of Gainesville. , This regiment of
negroes, and a number of, white soldiers,
g act
ing as uards, aro under the command of
Col. Tomkins. Most of, the negroes were
Virginia slaves at one time, and not, a few of
them are remarkably intelliger4 civil and .
obedient. They work, with a win, as, your
readers !night sea for themselves, were they
04 all sides,
"Loud rings , the axe, redoubling stroke•on
stroke,".
tand• as the hi 4i, ;41.....anzr..L. tbemo
! forests for the past half century, perhaps,
,comes
"Thundering crashing to the ground."
;The stalwart darkies cry—gook out, dar !
down she comes ;"and theyj amp aside, adroitly,
-as the heavy trees fall in every direction, caus
ing the earth to trembles These men wear
the S. 'uniform, and receive $25 per month
for their labor, as one of the,party infornied
Me. And they are not altogether as ignorant
as their enemies, the pro-slavery party of the
North, would have them to be. I questioned
one of them in this manner:
, Q. "Were you raised here in Virginia ?"
A. "Yes, sir. My •master lived in the up
per end of this county, (Prince William,) and
was a member of the .Assembly at Richmond,
at the breaking out of the war. He owned a
large place, and had many slaves. He said to
us, "Boys, you can do as you please—stay
with me, go into the Union army, or go &nth
and join the Confederates. They will pay
you for yoUr labor, but in the Union,army
you must work for nothing:" "Bid," said
Sam, "we knowed better dan dat. Nearly
ebery one of us joined the Union army—we
get good clothes and $25 dollars a month
pay; and ain't dat better dan to work for not
ting all our life time—'sides which we are free
Dey musn't tink niggers is all fools nor cattle
neider !"
Another instance :—A stout, colored boy
followed - the regiment up from Manassas
Junction to Gainesville, doing "chores" for
his grub, I presume; He was blacker
than a crow--the blackest man that I
ever saw—full of fun and smart withal.
His name was Jackson, and the men dubbed
him "Stonewall Jackson." Well, to resume
my story--(it is not one of fiction, but a
truthful one, in every respect)-- as I was sit
ting on a bank close to quarters near the
railway, reading over a late copy of the TELT.-
warn, two - - colored men came up the road
with axes on their shoulders. I accosted
them with, "Where are you going, boys ?"—
"Up to Gainesville, sir," replied one of them,
(a bright mulatto—nearly as white as some of
our industrious and intelligent Harrisburg
barbers.) "Up to Gainesville, to see my
brother."
"What is he doing there?"
"He is helping the soldiers, sir—working
for them."
"Not that black man they call Jackson?"
"Yes, sir, the same."
- "How is it that he is so much darkerthan
yeti are ?"
• "We have the same mother, sir; but not the
same father. His father is one of our old
master's slaves, married to my mother, but my
father is a white man !"
"And is that the way they do down here ?"
"Yes, sir--there are whole nests of them,
where I was born, not a day's travel from
Richmond !
Aint there some beautiful features con
nected with the "peculiar institution," as we
find it, in its purity, on the "sacred soil?"
And yet our dastardly opponents, for want
of something else, bellow "Abolitionist" in our
ears ! "Abolitionsts," because we stand by
the "dear old flag" and our country! Aboli
tionists, forsooth ! Well, you are welcome, to
the epithet, and from this time, henceforward,
we will take the liberty to style you amulga
rmationists, every mother's son of you, that
utters treason towards our flag and our Gov
erinnent, and upholds the slaveholders' rebel
lion, or its alders and abettors.
There is no end to game in this locality.
Grey and fox squirrels run at large with im
punity, and we hear the peculiar "call" of tha
wild turkey at sunset or day-break, scarcely
two hundred yards from our quarters, in the
pine thickets iricitir - Xear- The . piping of the
quail is heard from early dawn till nightfall.
In stepping' across an old field, wading
through the long sedge-grass, in search of a
spring •of water, I nearly tread upon a bevy ,

PRICE THREE CENTS.
of twenty-five or thirty of the "mottled beau
ties," before they .rose and "whirred" aWay
out of danger... Out of danger ? Not exactly !
for I sent a club after the beiy, just for the
impudence they displayed,,and came very
near dropping a fine bird, (the; families Of
the.bevy, I expect,) for he was oid enoughlo
dodge the missile, and . ' escape unharmed.
Could the "crack shots" of Harrisburg only
drop among us for a day's shooting, they
could get their fill of it. We poor' d—ls are
not allowed to waste a single cartridge; hence
the game becomes impudent, running almost
under our very noses. '
Here may be seen almost. every variety of
the ornithological tribe to be met with in the
Northern States. The finch, thrush, meadow
lark, robin and blue bird, the goldezvvinged
wood-pecker and bunting, and cardinals (vul
garly termed corn-crackers)-of the most bril
liant scarlet plumage. The everlasting "caw"-
ing of the crow is heard at all times, and, cast
your eyes in. whichever direction you please,
Tou observe an army of filthy buzzards hover
ing in the air.
Te public road or turnpike, which runs
pairallel with the railroad, past our post, and
scarce five minutes walk from here, is over
run with grass and weeds; and not a single
Vehicle or horseman have we seen reveling
over it since our arrival here., It is the• di
rect road from Alexandria to White Sulphur
Springs, Warrenton and Staunton, and other
important places—much traveled at one
period, but now entirely abandoned, and over
run with grass and weeds.
The health of the regiment, as I learn, is
very good.
Mail matter reaches us more regularly than
formerly, and we enjoy ourselves vastly in
looking over the Pennsylvania journals to
glean election news.
I had intended to give your readers the par
ticulars of a panther-hunt, in which a party
of three of Company I's men were engaged, a
few days ago, capturing the game, but for
want of room must postpone an account of
!the adventure for a future letter. More anon.

P. S.--There was 'an attack apprehended

Mr. Editor:—Below is an extract of a letter
received from a Union soldier, fronathis place,
.now serving in the Second Pennsylvania
Heavy Artillery, 18th Army Corps :
"On the evening of the llth, I took a news
paper—the Philadelphia Inquirer—and took
!a stroll beyond the picket , lines, and•had not
gone far when I hove. insight Of one 'of
u the

"yes, in the shape of "a- newspaper i" and the
Johnny came towards me without - arms, and
we traded, and then entered into conversation
about political affairs,: upon .which subject I
found him well booked. .• We had quite an
argument about the Virion Party, and, as I
call it, the traitor'or tory party. I asked him
how he liked the war. Ile seemed to be very
tired of it, and made the following:remark :
'lf Old Abe is elected, by G—d the Confeder

DIVRADFUL DEATH OF A YOIINGr LADY.—The
Keithsburg (Illinois) Observer says:—On
Thursday evening last, Miss Lydia Elliott, a
young lady, seventeen years of age, lost her
life by falling into a kettle of boiling sorghum
molasses, at the residence of Mr. Alexander
York, about three miles east of the town. She
was at play with some companiong at the time
and, carelessly running against the kettle, fell
into it. Her burns were severe upon one leg
and one arm, but probably not enough to have
killed her had they been properly treated,. as,
after receiving them, ,she walked to a neigh
bor's,Mr. Tyler's. Bnt after arriving there she
was placed in a , trough, and bucketful after
bucketful of water thrown on her, which pro
duced convulsions. In these she lingered
from about seven in the. evening until half
past four in the morning, when death came to
her relief She was buried- on ;Friday, in the
wedding.dress in which she would have been
married had she lived a few days longer.
Pr= BTFANNxss.--We have often heard of
persons sok mean that they would !'steal the
pennies off a'dead man's eyes," but, the fol
lowing from the:'Norristown ilerald fairly
surpasses any outrage upon a dead man.' In
the lower ward.of that borough is a blind man
who has a stipend from the Directore of the -
Poor of the county, amounting, to the sum of
75 cents a week! He has' always voted the
Union ticket. A few dayd previous to the
election, a person was sent to him on behalf
of the Directors, and he was told in the most
rude and insulting manner, that if he did not
vote the Democratio ticket the out-door relief
would be stopped, and he, • must go to the
Alms House. Fortunately, though blind, he
has friends, and hp voted as, he preferred,
despite the brutal meanness of the Copper
heads. What next?
TICE 'REASON Way.—The comPany which
went from this county a few weeks ago in the
211th regiment, under Capt. Frank, gave
some fifty Union majority on the 11th of Oc
tober. Only one man voted the Democratic
ticket. Several Democrats belong to the com
pany, but they arewar Democrats and vote as
they fight. Besides, they had been out on
picket where they heard the rebs cheering for
McClellan! Like sensible men they came
back determined not to help the enemy.—
Their regiment is the one which refused to
pass under a McClellan flag in
,Washington.
Why shouldn't their friends at home follow
their good example.—Warren, Mall.
