The Doctor's certificates are within reach, and no one need be deceived i/t regard to his prepara tions: Dr. Geo. H. Kbtseb:—l became afilioted with Piles about twenty years ago. and every year they were growing worse, eo a a to trouble me ve ry maoh, fo much so at times astoualit me for work. Some imes I was so bad, that I could not do anything on account of them, they oame out on me as large os a hiokory nut. I had tried a great deal of medicine for thorn. I used to buy and take what ever I could hear of or rend of, in circulars and pamphle s that fell in my way, but I oould not get ourod, sometimes they would do me some good for|a little while, but afterwards they would return again os bad as ever. I also applied to two Dootors, who visited me at my house and gave me some medicine but it would not do, I could not get well. Over a year ago, I got an advertisement of your Lindsey's Blood- Searcher, made by yourself—when you sold it to me von told me one bottle would notonro me. and that my whole system would have to be re newed by the medicine before I got well. I bought one bottle and took it home with me and used it according to your directions. I then call ed to see you again, when you said I could net expect much benefit from one bottle, I bought it on, one bottle at a time, until I had used five bottles. After this quantity had been used, I was entirely well of the piles/wlich had tortored me for’ twonty: years In other respects my health is improved, and I am as well as could be expected for one of my age, being sixty yoars past. I have boon well now fur six months, and the*e is co appearance of a return of the disease. I can do any kind of fanning work now without the piles coming down and hurting me. I cao pitch hay, chop wouj, lift, or de any kind of work which before used to hurt mo. Wh6n 1 found out your blood Searcher I kept on taking it un til I 'got entirely weii. 1 consider it my duty to make my case known a© chantry Ur the ben efit ofo:h6ra who may 1>? suffering as 1 was, and do not know the value of your medicine.

Un the f.ret day of January of the pres ent year, ihe Federal army under General Koac-vrar.s. was burying its dead which RRSTvT H. LOX bad fallen the day previous in tho tre mendoua battle ot Murfreesboro, or, as it is generally termed, Stone Hiver. That same a.ght Bragg, under cover of dark need, withdrew bis disheartened forces, and tOnk up a new line of occupation upon tho South aide .of Duck Rivr-r. Thus, at tho opening ot lF'.-L tb.fi rebels held, ! west of ike Mississippi, all tbe country South of the Arkansas river, and ou iho east ol tho Father of Waters, near ly, or ali, South ot a line which com* menced ou Ue Iliver at Vicksburg, ran up the V 1.200 River to Yazoo City, then ran off irregularly to the Northeast till it leached Bragg in Tennesaee, on Duck River. From this point it continued east ward, including East Tennessee, until it reached its terminus in tin East some where net far from Fredericksburg, on tbe Potomac River. The Slates held by the rebels were about one-half of Ar kansas, nearly all ot Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi, ail of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina, with trilling exceptions ; and the West part of TenuePS6e and Virginia. Tho Federal torces two hoßtile Southern States— Missouri and ; held half of Arkansas, half of Tennessee, one third of Virginia, and had effected lodgments on the coasts of all the others. How much have we gained during the present year? Nothing in Virginia; the remaining half of Tennessee ; of Missis sippi about one-third, or, practically, the country lying west of the railroad that runs from Memphis to Mobile ; and the navigation of the Mississippi. In Arkan sas, the oiffff difference between the be ginning fffl9*shd of the year is that then the rebels occupied the Arkansas river, which is now occapied by us. From this it will be Been that the gain in territory on tho part of the Federal Government is very small. One half of Tennessee, and the country immtdiately adjacent to the Mississippi river from Vickßbcrg to Port Hndson; on the coast, but little—a landing in front ot Charles ton, and & foothold at the month of the Hie Grande In Texas. We practically command the State of Arkansas; bat its capture to us iB as barren as was its pos session to the rebels; therefore, in sum ming up, we do not regard its subjugation aa a material benefit to the national Gov ernment. The loss of territory to the rebels, then, has been most insignificant—one useless State (Arkansas,) half ot another, and small portions of Texas, Louisiana, and Misnissippi. In consequence, if we esti mate the net profit to the Federal eause by the amount of territory that we have conquered during the paßt year, it will be found to be contemptibly small—almost an unappreciablequantity; one which con sidered simply as so much country cap tured, would not compensate for one tenth of the blood and money which have hc-en ' xpended. As our territorial gains have been so small, it will be necessary,_ in order to know that we are really making progress, to find other sources of affirmative assur ance. Stragetically, we have made greater progress than in territory. At the begin ning of tbe year the rebels beld \ icksbnrg and Fort Hudson, through which they were able to avail themselves of the enor mous productions of Texas and Western Louisiana. At Duck River they guarded Chattanooga, the door which opened into the very heart of the Confederacy, and also secured to themselves the possession of Eaßt Tennewee, the granary of the (For tlie Post.! “IN .nEMORIAM.” L. H. B. A Kcvlow Confederacy. From Texas they obtained immense supplies of cattle, and from East Tennessee, hogs, grain and saltpetre with out limit. Id capturing Vickabarg and Port Had boh, we cut them off from the live stock of Texas, and iu getting East TsntiefiseS,’ we deprived them of an inexhaustible source of cereals and & vital constituent in the manufacture of gunpowder. Iu these two positions they have sustained an irreparable loss. The plenty which reign ed in the South during the years preceding this has departed, ar»d in its place comes the grim monarch Famine. This is no mere rhetorical imagery, but an actual fact, as every paper which we see from the South, and every deserter and every refugee, will substantiate. From this it will be seen that while we have gained littD ir. territory, we have been more fortunate in obtaining positions whose possessions to the Bouth is of vital importance. Simplified, the gamß of the campaign of ISCd are the capture and permanent possession of two of the rebels main sources of eupply—their cattle-vard, granary and laboratory, Texas and East Tennessee. In other respect*, we have inflicted slight damage upon the Confederacy, without, having ourselves ecqnired a cor responding gain. The siege of Charleston has, as vet, done nothing more than close that port against vessels tunning the : blockade; but tor every dollar that we have cost the South at this point, we have expended a thousand. Whether this pro cess will pay is a question about which there may be an honest difference of opin ion. At Wilmington, we have, by a large and expensive addition to our squadron, succeeded in stopping much of the con traband trade, while the same is the case at Brownsville, in Texas. The victories at Vicksburg and Chatta nooga, especially the latter, give us other advantages, which, however, are rather prospective than present. The next rebel line of defence, lowing to the situation of streams and railroads in the 'South, mast be formed with its left on Mobile, its right covering Richmond, and its cen tre fronting GraLt, at Atlanta. It ia only by thus reforming their lines that they will be able to preserve communication between the winga—a condition absolutely essential to the strength and integrity of this cordon of defeat. Small bodies may for awhile dispute the possession of «nch points as Jackson, Meridian, and Fulton, while it is certain that guerrillas will in-„ test the whole country north of the new rebel line; but all such operations are irregular and valueless beyond the tern porary annoyance they may cause an ad vancing enemy, ns they do not at all af feet the vital issues which must be me: and settled at Mobile, Atlanta and Richmond. This new line upon which the rebel armies are thus forced is their last, and, by far, the meat indefensible one which they have at any time occupied. Its air line length is much shorter than any of the others, bu' its actual length, owing to the c-f the railroads which con nect it, is much greater. The condition of preserving their communication from wing to wing will be greatly enhanced in difficulty, from the fact that the Confed eracy lacks for rolling clock and means of repairing its railroads. The result will be that communication at first will be ex A a little Ifom ibe oomplou* waarlog oul 01 cars ana rrUcitß, impo&Mbie. But while the rebeU will lc3e many con ditions cf great value, in being forced upon their sole remaining line ot defence, they will gam one immense advantage. Every foot that they yield enables them to concentrate npr-n the shorter inner line of defence, while it correspondingly weakens ua by lengthening our communication as we advance. Our armies are now bo far from their basis of anpply that a very slight interruption would be fatal; heuce it is necessary to guard absolutely against any such contingency by leaving a email army at every point as we leave it. This weakens enormously our capacities for of fence, and is one of the main reasons why the North is obliged to call for men in eessantly, in order to preserve its advances, and at the same time render its move ments effective. The battles of the present war have, in magnitude, exceeded those ot any previous campaign. Among those who stand out in bold relief as firßt class contests, are: Fredericksburg, Chancellorsvilie, Gettys burg, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, and Chattanooga. la addition to these, we have & myriad ot smaller affairs, whose title is legion, and whose name can scarcely be remembered save by one with an encyclopffldian memory. Among them may be mentioned: Arkansas Post, Prai rie Prove, Jackson, Thompson's Hills, Port Hudson, Sabine Pass, Morris Isl and, Milliken’s [Bend, Little Rock, He lena, Knoxville, and tbe thousand skir mishes and- contests that have occurred between Washington and Richmond. Of all these battles, and lesser affairs tha 1 have occurred, we can regard but three aa decisive: that at Champion Hills, before Vicksburg; Gettysburg, and the last battle of Chattanooga, Even this scant number may be rednoed one* third, for the battle of Gettysburg, al though grand in its proportion, was not decisive in scarcely any sense of the word. It is of the same character as Antietam, and fought for precisely the same pur poses, via,: to oheck the rebels in a movement which had no particular strat egic importance, and which amounted to simply a foraging party on a larger than com mm on scale. In neither case was the enemy more than checked—in both cases he drew off his army without- demoralisa tion, aud retired at his leisure, and in good order, and unmolested. Chickamauga was a greater contest than Chattanooga, but was not decisive; it effected no important results, and left the respective armies not materially dif ferent from what they were before the engagement. f Champion Hills was decisive, for it de cided the fate of Vicksburg, and gave qs material advantage in the catting off of Texas from the Confederacy, Chatta nooga was also decisive, for it gave us East Tennessee, and has thrown the rebels back upon tbeii last Ime of defence. So far as the remaining tetndreJ battles and skirmishes are concjfhed, seventy five of them need never h*7e been fought; and in every one of such cases, the blood shed, at tbe time and material used, have been a useless and wanton expenditure. It is sad, bat nevertheless a truthful re* flection, that three-fourths of those gal lant men who have given up their lives have done so, not for their country, but through the criminal iocompetency of offi cial management. Notwithstanding that to-day Virginia is one vast graveyard, , and that rivers of blood have deluged her soil, neither the North nor South has gained since the war commenced a ringle advantage of importance. Both armies, at the close of tbe campaign of 1863, stand very nearly where they did at the beginning in 18G1. A beautiful country redaced to desolation; a soil clogged with graves, and fall to repletion with blood ; and thousands of be reaved and mourning firesides in the North and South, are the only results ob (A’.ned by these years of sanguinary and desperate conflict. If the responsibilities ESTABLISHED 1842. for all this useless waste of blood attached itself more lo one party than the other, it is to the Federal authorities. The reb els, in the main, have stood upon the de- 2 tensive; when battles have been ioaght v they have generally been projected by ns, 8 5r tbeir failure is attributable to our in» efficiency. When we march uponJlich mond, the rebels, as belligerents, have a perfect right to oppose pur progress, and time that each a movement fails the OBes who are Teeponsible for the failure and the life wasted are those who directed the operation. The necrology of the campaign is ear* priiingly small in general officers, hot voluminous with relation to. lesser officers a: d the rank and file,. All'Onr great bat tles have been desperately contested, and bloody beyond comparison with those of other years and other nations. Probably not less than from one -hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand men have, daring the campaign just ended, been slain outright, or died from wounds or disease—a most fearful aggregate of ha* man life to be sacrificed in one year, and is one whose proportions wilt appal the stoutest heart. Probably, there has never, iq modern times, been a war in which men were need np as rapidly as in this. Bat litiieoypr two years have elapsed since its beginning, and yet nearly twelve handred thousand men have already been sent into the field by the North. Of these there remain perhaps oae-half, possibly two thirds alive—the remainder are on the thousand battle fields whose width extends from the Atlantic to the Territories.
