DYSPEPSIA, DYSPEPSIA, DYSPEPSIA.
I, Er.reAsurn. 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.
All peracius suffering with Dyspepsia are at
liberty-to call on me or write, as lam willing
to do all. the
.good I -can , for suffering hu

reading, at once , a sensation of icy coldness in connection
with - a dead weight,. as. it: were, rested upon my brain ;
also, a feeling of sickness would occur at the stomach, and
great:pain to ray eyes, accompanied with which, was the
continnal.fear of loaing my reason. I also experieaced
greatlassitude, debility and nervousness, which made it
difficult - to walk.by day, or sleep at night . I beciame
averse to society, and .disposed only to seclusion, and
having tried the skill ot a number of eminent phyglel .n 8
:of various school; finally came to the conclusion that, for
this disease at my present age (45 years) there was no cure
in existence. But, through the, interference of Divine
Providence, to whom I deriutly oiler my thanks, I at last
:found a sovereign remedy in , your Dyspepsia Pills' and

EVENING EDITION.
From the 201st Regiment.
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,

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

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.

BURBIUDGE'S GREAT RAID.
THE OFFICIAL REPORT,.
Large Captures of Prisoners, Cars,
Cannon, Sze.
The. Salt Works and Lead lines in Ruins,
They Cannot be Repaired Dui.,
ing the War.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.
The following report of Gen. Burbridge's
operations has beenxeceived:
CATL - Exxsautto, Ky., Dec. 18.-1. have the
honor to report that my mounted force, fotir
thousand strong, in conjunction with General
Gillem's brigade, the whole under command
of Major Qr eneral Stoneman, marched from
Bean's station on the 12th 'of December at
daylight.
They met Duke's brigade at Kingsport,
where he was drawn hp to oppose the cros
sing of the Holster river. 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.

Brevet Major General.
