PROGRESS OF THE WAR. The progress of the Union arms siru•e the victory at Bowling Creen, has been all that the most enthusiastic admirers of Northern valor and genius could desire. Since that battle, the war has passed like an immense panorama, exhibitine a series of battles and victories, which have sent rebellion reeling to its fall. Yet. led with-- standing all these crushing disasters, and the certain destruction whirl, will certainly overtake them, the rebels seem as defiant and insolent as if success had thus titr crowned their exertions. We arc particu larly struck with this by reading the New Orleans papers, since the city has been captured by our forces. Speaking of the silly reply of Mayor Monroe to Coleman- , der Farragut's demand for the rite's snr tinder, the Crescent remarks: "We may be 'conquered, not subdued.' We may be defenceless, but the ,•raven heart must not- be found among us who would ingloriously yield obedience to an unjust demand. Our powerful enemy 'cry • havoc, and let slip the dogs of was•.' and a generous, brave, devoted people suffer the horrors thereof, and the innocent• welter in their ?ore. God forbid! We do not be lieve-IL The world would stand aghast. All .Christendom would wake as from a horrid dream, and retribution, dire and terrible, be visited upon the perpetrators of the dastardly - outrage. No ! We will do - our-enemy the justice to beliere fluent in capable qf such an atrocity. They are men—must have the souls of men—and however much their devotion to their muse and flag, they must. remember and grant us the same rectitude of purpose, :nil still more, the God given right to protect our homes." The Bee of April 28th says. in a long article headed "the duty of the hour," con eludes in this way : "We have devoted freely of our men, our substance and our exertions to the de fence of our beloved city, and have not le ing wherewith to reproarli ourselves, in the way of dereliction Or neglect of duty. to accomplish that object. We hare not succeeded. A superior force, availing itself of facilities of approach we had not the power to resist, and of an arm in which we were not capable of competing with it, has accomplished its purpose, nu stands before our city, dictating to terms of surrender. "It now devolves upon us to meet the ex. igpncywith dignity—not with craven - - nnssiveness on the one hand, nor, a Mayor says, with indecent alacrity of other; but with calm and reliant hope for the moment, which we may confidently trust is not remote, when our brethren and countrymen will achieve our deliver ance." The Picayune of the same date. takes the disaster a little more philosophically. bnt at the same time, manifests much o r tificationf it-coneludes a long article by saying: - "With respect to the i nhabitant s and their feelings we have to say that. with the ex ception of a few intemperate anti reckles. men, who, we believe, will henceforth be properly restrained, the cast majority hare compandicely calm and quiet.— Nei:Southern man can of eonrse behold this fair metropolis—the pride and glory of* Southwest , --givenpver, even though itte4einperarily, to the.possession of our foeS, without experiencing emotions of profound and poignant sorrow. The loss of New Orleans to the Confederate gor -eminent is a most serious tine, and it is Jelly to seek to palliate or deny the extent of Me misfortune. But, though conquered, thii"eitizens are not. dismayed. They have not sacrificed their self respect or impaired their dignity. They do not indulge in boot less lamentations, nor are they guilty of the:pumile absurdity of hunling up M - for their wrath and resentment. As it matters not now whether all that 'night have been done to 'protect our city was done, and as we know that with the means at our command-its . approaches were de fended With persevering and indomitable briarery, we can afford to regard the ca lamitous result - with- unshaken fortitude and manly resignation. Any other course of Caniinct would be unworthy of us. 'ffironclusion, we have to express the, thanks and gratitude - of an good citizens tOirlidifthe European and French brig ads" for their patriotic services in patrol ing the city at night, and their successful i exertions in securing public order.

Butler 's Proclamation. CINCINNATI, May 13 9:40 A. M.—The Conanervial has the iollowing Southern news:—The Memphis .. , Iralanche of the 6th says that the telegraphic news from Richmond is painfully significant. Gene ral McClellan seems to have been prepar ing the same fate for Richmond that But ler and Porter got up for New Orleans. The Avalanche of the same date says of affairs in New Orleans, Mayor Monroe and all the Alder Men had been arrested, upon refusing to take the oath, and committed to prison. Great distress prevails in the city. Food of all kinds is extremely scarce—flour not to be had at any price. There is more of a Federal force yet to be landed, and the river is full of Federal gunboats, mortars, transports, &c. The Avalanche says the Congressional stampede from Richmond had a very de pressing effect, and believed that it fore shadowed the early evacuation of Virginia. The policy of evacuating cities is played out. We have but precious little more territory that we can spare. The Memphis Argus computes the Con federate loss at Shiloh at 7,000, killed and wounded. The Memphis Argus, in an article on gunboats, says: Thus far it must be con fessed, our attempts with gunboats on the rivers have been disgusting failures. The people know it and so does the govern ment. A correspondent of the Memphis Ava- lanche says that thirty--three per cent. of Bishop Yolk's army were killed or wound ed at Shiloh. The Avalanche, of the 7th, says : We have advices from New Orleans up to Saturday, eleven o'clock a. in. General Butler has taken the St.. Charles hotel for his headquarters. The Evans House, on Poydras street, has been converted into a hospital. The Jackson Railroad Depot was taken possession of on Saturday morning. The federal pickets had been extended out as far as the crossing of the Jefferson and lackson Railroads. Four gunboats and one transport started for Baton Rouge on Saturday morning.— Seven federal regiments had been landed at New ()deans. All the newspapers in New Orleans were still published, though a Federal censor was placed over every office to ex amine all matter, and exclude whatever might prove unfriendly to the Federal cause. The proclamation of General Butler was handed into all theonices and refused. When the guard came to the True Delta office and were refused, they took posses sion, and sent for Northern printers to set it up, and worked it off in the edition. Proclamation to Open Ports INTERESTRL 11*, NORFOLL , Desperate 'Stand to be at Richmond. NOI:FoLK, May 12.—The city continues very quiet. Most of the stores are closed, but it is expected-that they will open in a day or two except in cases where the oc cupants have left the city with the army. Some excitement still prevails, but it is supposed that in a few (lairs, when com munication is fully opened with the North ern ports. confidence will be completely restored. The prices of almost everything are as tonishingly high. Candles, for instance, of a miserable quality, sell at sixty cents per pound: common brown wrapping pa per fifty cents per package; brown sugar, twenty-nine cents. A number or stores will be opened here in a rew days by parties from Old Point. and I:altimore, who will bring supplies or the articles so much wanted here. The l'ostoffice and Custom House will flouhtless be re-opened very shortly.— Very little Union sentiment is openly ex pressed. All over the city our soldiers, both privates and officers, freely talk with the citizens, which must produce a good -effect. All the fortifications in the vicinity are occupied by Union troops, and all the public property is in the possession of the Federal authorities. The policy of the Confederate Govern ment appears to be to concentrate its troops at Richmond, and some even say that all the Gulf States will be given up before Virginia, and that Richmond will be held to the very last. All insist that a desperate resistance will be made there, if nowhere else. Several negroes ar rived from Suffolk this morning and re port that there were no troops, guns or fortifications there, or on the road this side. Among most of the citizens here there is but little confidence entertained in the officers of the Cenfederate government.— The Confederate notes are refused in many places. Gold and silver are hailed with enthusiasm by all classes of the popula tion. many of whom have not seen either for months. Elizabeth River, between Norfolk and Portsmouth, is of a deep eotfee color, on account of the tobacco which has been thrown overboard. Large quantities were recovered to-d: v dam:teed by water. t;ov. Viele, the itlilititry:Governor, pur sues a course calculated to produce an impression of the superiority of the Fed , eral Government, and an intention to throw no obstacles in the way of private business, but to enforce the ordinances of the pity government.

I felt in the morn ins a most severe pain in. toe beak as if the lower carts of the spine were broken or bruised, and an asthmatic pnesure on. the chest, Owing to My oc cupation which keeps me all day busy out o. doors, and entirelydiatruStingany so celled "regu lar treatment" that would have. confined rue to my house, I thought of following a plan of ray own, which might cure me without the inconveni ence to my business attending the treatment of a "regular practitiOner." So I put an Allcook's Neater right over the groin. renewing it every fortnight; every Saturday night I took a dose o Brandeeth's Pills. three or four, as I thought neces sary to a dose. which operated on rue after getting np.jhree to Ave times in the forenoon ; on Sun day. Tuesday and Thursdaynights I took one lA° Addition Pill. which produced one large evacua tion. I pursued this course for six weeks. and could attend to my business without interruption; I worked.tate and drank ea! was wont, slept most soundly and awaked every day with leo pain, and now I brow main of the complaint at all, so that I feel obliged to make you this statement for proper use, hoping that Oda simple proceeding may WWII mior se it has done me. / as dietEntr.
