Muller:lx, of Brandywine, Del., formerly of Old Chester, Del., do certify that, for one year and a half I 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 so 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. I had a dreadfal horror and evil forebodinga. I thought everybody hated me, and I hated everybody; I could not bear my husband nor my own children, every thing appeared to be horror-stricken to me; I had .no ambition to do anything; I lost all my love of family and home; I would ramble and wander from place to place, but could not be contented; I felt that I- was doomed to hell, and that there was no heaven for me, and was often tempted to commit suicide, so near was my whole nervous system de stroyed, and also my mind from that awful complaint, Dyspepsia, thatmy friends thought best to have me, placed in Dr Eirkbride's hospital, West Philadelphia; I remained there nine weeks, and thought .1 was a little better, but in a few days my dreadful com plaint was raging as bad as ever. Hearing of the wonderful cures performed by. Dr. Wis hart's treat American Dyspepsia Pills and his treatment for Dyspepsia, my husband balled on Dr. Wishart and stated my ()sae to .him. He said he haftiodoubthe could cure me. So ill three days after I called and placed niyielfairider the 'Doctor's trearanent, and in, two weeks I began to digest my food, and felt that my disease was fast giving way, and' I continued to recover for about three months, and at the present time I enjoy perfect health of body and mind, andlmost sincerely return my thanks to ,a merciful God and Dr. Wis hart, and to' his great American Dyspepsia Pills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial that saved me from an limane Asylum and premature grave.

CAMP SLOUGH, WEST ALEXANDRIA, VA., December 26, 1864. ED/TOR TELEGRAPH—Dear Sin—Day-before- Christmas, Saturday, was an eventful one at the camp of the 201st. No less than three wagon loads of express boxes, containing ""Christmas.gifts from home," made their ap pearance, and were promptly claimed ,by the men. Many a "God.bless them" was heard in the expectant crowd around the Quarter master's department, as the men picked up their boxes and marched off to their quarters. Fun and frolic —good:, feeling and hilarity— amusement and enjoyment to the best of everybody's ability and inclination, prevailed to a late hour. One certain party I could mention, consisting of the funny Sergeant of Company "A," the gentlemanly ; Lieutenant commanding our post, three or four of his non-commissioned'ste; (A. H. B. among the number,) enjoyed themselves to some ivr pose. The Sergeant accomplished what Gen erals Grant, Sherman or Sheridan never ac complished—he captured a "catastrophe" on the wood-pile, in the rear of Capt. quarters, and, by a genius peculiar to our friend alone, (who has fine musical abilities,) he converted the animal's tail into the crank, or handle of a hand organ, and produced sounds, which, if not quite as soft and de lightful as those emanating from the strings of an nolian harp, were certainly of no com mon order, "turned" out of the tail of a half groyia, rat-destroying specimen of the felme race ! We broke several of our ribs, in try ing to prevent our going into fits or convul sions. Dan Itice's mules, Henry Cooke's per.: forming dogs and monkeys, or Sanford's star troupe, in one of their best "bills," could not , have raised a greaterfunre in the way of side splitting laughter and burst of applause, than our friend and fellow-sergeant of Co. "A" did - With his hying hand-organ. • The whole of Christmas eve, all day Sun 'day and yesterday, the holiday lestval was kept up. Feasting, visiting, resorting to places of amusement, was the mode of spend mg Christmas in the city. Fireworks, whisky and other ingredients and articles of patriqt ism were plenty in Alexandria, and The slave pen had a goodly proportion of unwilling visitors—among them women, lady-like and quite respectable in appearance—arrayed in tne height of fashion; but alas! how lost to shame, how fallen, how painfully averse to all that renders lite worth possessing—honor and virtue. At our own quarters we enjoyed a feast— studi a happy time as we will never forget. Our company, on invitation, consisted of Lt. and Adjutant G. W. Ressinger, Serg. Major Vanghan,, Lt, Alex. Stewart, (our worthy post commandant,) Sergeants Ditty, Musser, Wit mer and DPOormick, and privates Rrider, Musser, Myers and others—and, thank Hea ven, through the efforts of our better-half— our thoughtful vrow—the lady of b'ergeant Musser, - and the Christmas presents of our leer children, as well as the contlibutions of the lady of our friend Seim E.. Myers, com pany we were enabled to- spread a •festive board't that groaned, in reality, with the "fat of the land" of Old Pennsylvania. Bill of fare: Two turkeys, one pair of chickens, one can of saner kraut, pickles, horse-radish, peaches, apples, several varieties of nuts, pies, cakes, Am. Did not everybody and his friend have a surfeit of good things? And for this kind remembrance of our friends at home they request me to return our sincere thauks! The boats.plying between Washington and Alexandria, have suspended operations for a season, on. account of the ice, and the Reve nue cutter lying off her hoisted anchor, and moved in to.the wharf, to get out of harm's way. • Among the recent arrivals were Mrs. Cor poral D. Black, Mrs. John Odell, Mrs. Ritz, Mrs. Corporal Joseph Wells, Mrs. Sergeant Booth; Jehu De Haven and Harry- Ettla, Esqrs., of the 11. C. Railway; Levi Garverich, and John Hamilton, Esqrs., of our native city. Corporal De Haven and Sergeant A. H. B. have cause to remember Messrs. J. De Haven, Sen., and. Harry Ettla, Esqrs., the longest day they live, for their unexpected visit and gen erous treatment received at their hands, the other afternoon. They are gentlemen among a thousand, as every employee on: the North. ern Central Railway who has ever known them will testily. Long may they live to en joy life and its blessings—for they deservo the good will and respect of all men. Mrs. D. Waggonseller, Mrs. Booth and Messrs. De Haven, Ettla, Garverich and Hamilton returned to Pennsylvania, since our last let(er. Among a batch of rebels just brought doin 'froin Fairfax Station on Saturday,- were several old men, whose heads were almost "silvered o'er with age." Conscription, apparently, is almost "played out" in the rebel dominions, if this is the description of the material forced into their ranks. . Among the most industrious, obliging and gentlemanly officers connected with the Quar termaster's Department of the 201st regiment, are Cornelius Shriver, Esq., and Sergeant Groff, both gentlemen well known in-Harris burg—honest, competent and attentive to their duties. If there is any complaint made, or story circulated that either of these men do not perform their duties properly, it is a falsehood of the worst description. Every pound of subsistence that the U. S. Govern ment issues out and allows the men in service at this post, is given them to the very ounce, and if men are improvident or waaieful, or imprudent in the disposition of their rations, they must not "fall beck" on;the Commissary Department, or make wrong statements to their Mends at home or to "outsiders," or prefer 'charges which they oould never sub• PRICE THREE CENTS stantiate. The gentlemen in question are above reproach, and have more at stake (their reputations). than the men who ate so shame less and dishonorable as to accuse them of un fair dealings. The friends of Mr. Shriver and Mr. Groff will not for a moment heed such simple and groundless statements, for the' men in question are too well known, and the Munchausen who first invented the absurd report, would avoid the risk of losing his . reputation by speaking the truth in future. It was estimated that about 600 boxes had arrived here for the men of the 201st, for Christmas presents! Efuzza for good old Pennsylvania! More anon. A. IL B. 33t) TeregrapQ. BURBIUDGE'S GREAT RAID.

I sent two regi ments to support Gillem, who flanked th'e enemy, routing him and killed, wounded and captured 100 men and a , wagon train, and pursed to Bristol. He attacked that place at 3 o'clock in the morning, capturing the town with two hun dred prisoners, two trains of cars, five en gines, and immense quantities of stores. I learned that Vaughan was at Zollicoffer, twelve miles below, and marched to attack him, but he slipped away in a dense fog, arid made for the' salt works. I discovered his flight in time to head him off at Abington, which place I captured on the night of Dec. 14th, taking one gun, a large amount of stores, and an engine with some rolling stock. Gen. Gillen continued the pursuit of Vaughan, coming up with him at Marion, driving him from a strong position and cap turing fifty prisoners. I sent Colonel Brown's brigade to the sup port of General Gillem, who again came upon the enemy at Mbunt Airy, and drove him m confusion, capturing some prisoners and seven pieces of cannon and 0, large wagon train. Col. Brown, with his brigade, later in the day, charged the rebel home guard Of Wythe ville, capturing 5 pieces of cannon and 8 cai sow. Major Harrison, of the 12th Ky., who had been detached by order of Gen. Stoneman, with 300 picked men and horses, struck, the Virginia Railroad on the 35th of Dec., near Glade's Spring, cutting it and capturing two trains of cars. He then got in Vaughan's front, and con tinued along the line of the road, destroying all the bridges and depots as. far as Wythe ville, a large amount of rolling stock and the great iron works near Marion. Colonel Brown destroyed the bridges for ten miles above Wytheville, when the expedi tion started on its return, the men and hories being entirely worn out. Near warren I clime upon Breckenridge, who was following Col. Brown, and an en gagement of 36 hours ensued, at the close, of which Breelinridge retreated towards Salt ville, .but Col. Brickley with a brigadge having got in his rear forced him in confusion •to wards North Carolina. Col. Buckley effectually destroyed the lead mines, near Wytheville, on the night of the afteisome resistance.. Our united forces captured and destroyed the salt works with 8 pieces of cannon. The expedition has been entirely successful, avd the damage will be more felt by the en emy than the loss of Richmond. The salt works and lead mines are in ruins and cannot be repaired during the war. My forces are mow at this place and safe. I will send you a detailed report by mail. (Signed) S. F.
