Vivid - Description of Gperrilla
Warfare on the Mississippi.
Ins letter to the Detroit Tribune we
4nd the following :
'YOU have heard of the guerrillas. I
lave been the'm. Shall I undertake to
ieil'ybu how a man feels when on the
Point Of becoming their prey ?
On the 10th instant I Was traveling up
the Mississippi on the steamer Empress.
I Was sitting in my room eating a bit 01
&Watermelon, when I heard a sudden
cjnb.like the falling of a heavy box in
theint* of the boat. At the next breath
iiere half d! dozen similar sounds, and
I then saw people running through the
cabin uttering a variety of exclamations.
"SSW General McNeil buckling on his
sword, running to and fro and giving or
ders. Some 'were on their hands and
kneels, crawling along the floor, and
sale-were lying still and low. ft did
not take melong to decide what kind of
a scrape we had got into. Of course,
having no command or responsibility
except for myself, I lay down, too—
humbly, at on the floor—only I took
care to lie endwise toward fhe danger,
instead of sidewise as all the rest seemed
to be doing.' Bang 1 bang ! crash ! crash I
rattle ! rattle ! came the..sounds. It
was artillery and infantry. At times,
when a shell exploded inside the boat,
it made the whole structure tremble.
Bang , I bang ! when would they stop !
Shall we not soon be past this danger?
Alas, no— the shots strike thicker and
faster. The cabin is full of splinters.
This ißit dangerous place, and yet we
are past opposite the battery; Hatk !
—the whistle blows ! The boat is going
to land. The bell rings. We are sink

surrendered. Here is room for unpleasant
reflections. No, the firing does not cease
and Abe engine works again. Thank
Godl it works more vigorously than it
- did a moment ago. But the projectiles
strike us like hail. The bullets pop
through her like beetles through my
qtudy on a sultry summer evening. Can't
I get a safer place? The women are
huddling together, some fainting and ,
some screaming—though others are be*

they explode inside the boat. There is
no time to consider. I compose myself
in the dirt on the kitchen floor. The

Terrible Affray
Yesterday morning a train left Wash.
ingtOn with about six hundred soldiers,
of different regiments, on their way to
join: Sheridan's command at Harper's
Ferry. While at Beltsville, where a
detachment of the Veteran Reserve
Corps'is on duty, .the train switched off,
and the soldiers amused themselves by
throwing apples at the Veteran Reserve
Guard, and applied to them epithets in
dicating their being "Home Guards,"
afraid to fight, &c. This irritated the
.guard, and 11,Sergeant in charge, whose
name wag understood to be Porter, pick
ed up a musket and fired upon the train,
wounding one soldier slightly, and kill
dng Jciseph Laughlin, Company E, 11th
Vermont. As soon as the act of shoot
ing was perpetrated, the soldiers.got - off
thetrain and beat Sergeant Porter ih a
'terrible manner. It was subsequently
ascertained that the man killed had not
thrown any apples or used any epithets.
Whereupon • Sergeant Porter was taken
to a tree near by and allowed three min
utesto sarhis prayery, and then bayo
neted. until,life was extinct. The guard
of. whichl'orter had charge were una
ble to-render him any assistance, as they
werafew in number. The parties who
inflicted this summary punishment upon
Porter.- were requested to take him to
Baltimore and have him regularly tried;
. but this was refused, the soldiers pre
(erring to take the law into their own

DEMOCRATIC PAPER
POE THE
FALL CAMPAIGN.
THE WEEKLY POST,
FOR TITE PRESIDENTIAL. CAMPAION
The approaching Presidential Cam-

important since the formation of the
our Government. We intend to devote
ourselves to it, with all the earnestness
and vigilance we can command ; and,
in order that we may be able to com
mune with the greatest possible number
of readers, we have concluded to issue

trust with the joyous intelligence that
VICTORY has crowned our efforts in the
election of our nominees.
The price of the Campaign POST will
be as cheap se we can afford to give it.
Orders will be taken at the following
rates, viz :
Ten copies

Letters may be addressed to the POST
corner of Wood and Fifth Streets, Pitts
burgh.
APPLYING THE LASH.
The mere conception of a possible
peace with the South, without slavery
being absolutely eradicated and the
Southern people subjugated, throws the
genuine Abolitionist into fits of mortifi
cation and rage. This was strikingly
exemplified in yesterday's Pittsburgh
Commercial. That paper on a few occa
sions lately hinted at the propriety of
our Government offering terms of peace
to the rebels; on one occasion it said:
"I"he contest has reached a point when the
North can well afford to make the advance—at
least to let the Southern people know that the
door of peace is wide open, and that they an
pass through on terms which impose neither
hardship nar humiliation; that it they are not
restored speedily to the blessed condition of
peace, It is because the desperate tyranny
which is over them, closes the door, and contin
ues the war In the lace of fate-"
Liberal and sensible suggestions like
these have aroused the indignation of
Wm. M. SHINN Esq , who writes:from
Evergreen smartly lashing the Commer
dal, asking it "what do you mean?"
rind informing that sheet that peace is
only "attainable through conquest" an
that hostilities must go on for the ex
termination of "the ruling class of the
South." This vigorous protest of Mr.
SFirriN had the desired effect in bringing
the Commercial back to its Abolition al
legiance, and it accordingly apologized
in a leader which concludes in this
way:
"If the columns of the runimerclal have seemed
to advocate "the rtirect otter" to Richmond to
. - -
"negotiate (or peace," or the doing of anything
that does not contemplate the restoration of the
authority of the iluvernrueut over all the
States, we are entirely certain they hare been
read not as we intended they should be."
This is drawing it as mildly as could
be expected, after having suggested the
propriety of our Administration offering
terms of peace which would impose
neither "hardship nor humiliation," but
let that pass .
The fact of Mr. SirtNiv writing for
publication over his own name, from
his seclusion at Evergreen, shows that
he—a very unobtrusive gentleman—fsels
sensibly upon the subject on which" he
writes. He is an old Abolitionist, and,
when some of the leaders of that party
hesitated,they were encouraged by such
decided men as Mr. Srmix exhibiting
what they delighted in terming "back
bone." There is no dodging or conceal
ments about this class Of Abolitionists;
they are for increasing slaughter; with
them the white population is nothing,
provided its sacrifice will give freedom
to the blacks. This sanguinary and
brutal feeling may be the result of un
usual "back hone" but it is remarkable
that it never urges those who have it
most to risk themselves in the slaughter
which they are so eager to have pro
longed.
In order to show that there is no pos
sibility of peace, except through South
ern subjugation, Mr. SHINN quotes Mr.
LINCOLN'S "to whom it may concern,"
demanding the "abandonment of sla
very," and also JEFF. DAVIS' reputed
announcement of "independence or
continued war." After this the writer
indignantly inquires:
"Here,then,we have the controversy reduced,
substantially, to a single issue, Union or dis
union! What Is left to negotiate about' Can
ABRAHAM LINCOLN consent to disunion? Will
JEFFERSON Davis return to the Union? Does
any sane man believe that peace can be negotia
ted on either basis? Assuredly notl The rebel
chief declares the sober truth, unpalatable as it
may appear; there is no middle ground between
disunion and subjugation. In other words,
there must be, on one side or the other, uncondi
tional submission; and the trial can only be by
battle."
The italics in this paragraph are its
-author's, and they look as If he thought
he had made out a very strong case in
favor of continued war; but when he is
informed that there is no proof that JEFF.
DAyllrever made the remarks imputed
to him, he will perceive that his position
is materially impaired.. JACQUES &
Co's story about their interview with
Davis upon which Mr. Sawn relies for
the true feelings of the rebel chief, has
already been pronounced a fabrica
tion, even by Abolition papers, and
among them the Pittsburgh Com
mercial, itself, '430 then Mr.
Strarn's conclusions, - regarding JEFF
Davis's feelings, are drawn from false
promises, and are not near so conclusive
and emphatic as his italics would seem
to indicate. The way to find out the
terms upon which the rebels will return
to their allegiance is quite easy and sim
ple. Had the Administration allowed
the Vice President of the rebel govern
ment to reach Washington,; more than
a year ago, lei:meld have ;,easily ascer
tained his chief's conditions of reunion.
Nit, the sourpdse of the Administration

has not been to,stop the war, but to con
tinue•it, and in; it is aided and en
.eouraged by every 'Abolitionist, like
Mr: &Ms, in the Union. Instead of a
desire for peace the struggle with them
ISA° find pretests for continued war.
When the rebel representatives at Nia-
gara impressed Mr. GREELEY with the
belief that their Government would
make peace upon easy terms, Mr. LIN
COLN, in order to stop further talk upon
the subject, announced "to whom it may
concern," that no propositions would be
entertained by him until after slavery
was abolished throughout the South.
And, in the same spirit, we see Mr.
SHINN using his undoubted ability to
prove that no peace is possible, save
that which subjugates what he terms
the "ruling classes of the South." These
are but indications, however, 'that the
Abolitionists are fearful of their inabili
ty to consummate their bloody purposes.
Their teachings plunged the country in
blood, and now their efforts are to keep
it there; but there is a low murmuring
whisper moving upon the face of the
waters which will soon cry out "peace
be still."
"Shall Copperheads be Putilshedt,,
The sanguinary individual who has
been threatening "to hang draw and
quarter" innumerable copperheads
through the editorial column of
.the
Gazette, yesterday stated that there are
at least a half a dozen of copperhead,
papers in Western Pennsylvania which
ought to be suppressed. It accordingly
concluded that: •
"The same course should be pursued here as
in New York. GET:. liowLky has as much
power as GEN. Dix; and all he has to do Is to
and over the recusant editors to the civil au
thorities. The District Attorney will see to
their prosecution, and the U. S. Court will
secure them a fair trial. We ventnre to predict
that after one or two are arrested, the offenses
will cease "
If this "Mr. BLOWIIARD" Will be
more explicit and inform GEN. ROWLEY
where to lay his hand upon the half
dozen in question, and volunteer his
own valuable aid to assist in their arrest,
it will be something like the thing; but
such "Slashers and Crashers" as he
havn't valor enough to attacks bull rush
unless the wind is,in their favor. They
"blow" too much; their desire is to see
visited all sorts of outrages upon their
opponents, but they havn't the stuff to
take part in the outrage; they merely
like to see it going on .
SERIOUS RIOT IN IRELAND.—We give
in our foreign extracts a brief account
of a riot at Belfast, Ireland. The follow
ing article from the New York Sari gives
sonic idea of its origin;
On the Bth of August one of the grand
est demonstratious ever witnessed in
Dublin took place in that city, to cele
brate the commencement of a monument
to the "immortal Liberator." Not less
than fifty thousand men participated in
the procession, which was invested with
a national interest by the presence of:
delegates from every part of the country.
The trades and religious societies of the
city turned out in full force, with music,
banners and flags, while the entire popu
lation of the city attested in all possible
ways their sympathy with the process
ion. Nothing seams to have been want
ing in order to convince the world that,
after the lapse almost of a gen eration,
Ireland still cherished the memory of the
great O'Connell with a devotion that had
been intensified since his death. Hut,
four days afterwards, a very different
scene transpired in the north of Ireland,
on the rcasion of the anniversary of the
Aviv 01 Londonderry, duripg the civil
strife between King William the Third
and King James the Second.
The burning of the effigy of Daniel
O'Connell by the Orangemen, wa , the
signal for one of the annual semi relig
ious, semi-political riots that are a dis
grace to Ireland. No eircum o stance of
atrocity was wanting on the &elision --
stones, bludgeons and guns were freely
used; a nunnery was destroyed, before
the mllitary could succeed in restoring
order. Which tif these two occurrences
more correctly represents the sentiments!
of time masses of the Irish people towards
the memory and principles 01 O'Connell,
it were not difficult to decide. His name
is an object of veneration to the children
of the generation that regarded his utter
ances with the deepest respect and en
thusiasm. But not until a better spirit
prevails that will merge all hostile relig
ious and factions feeling into a common
sentiment of nationality for the good of
DO entire country, will it be possible to
hope for Tice realization of the dream of
Irish independence of English rule.
Much has been already accomplished in
this war, but much yet remains to be
done; and it is satisfactory to know that
the progrew i lready made indicates the
near approttb of the era so long anlici•
pated by all who, in every country and
among every people, are still.devoted to
Irish freedom and independence.
More Mexican than Spartan.
To judge from the grneral tenor of the
news current from Mexico, the patriotic
cause in that abandoned country has
more than begun to "dwindle, peak, and
pine." Maximilian is making his throne
firm, and extending the clearage of sub
mission. Several• well-known generals
on the Juarez side are now reported as
loyalists of the Empire, and the betrayal
of the Liberal cave seems to have be
come almost a matter of fashion. A con
siderable army is still attached to Juarez,
which he is now endeavoring to concen
trate and discipline at Monterey. This
army, hungry, insubordinate and disaf
fected, as it is said to be, is under com
mand of Ortega, who, in comsequence
of his peculiar escape from the French
after his surrender at Puebla, is regard
ed by them as a - deserter. We publish
ed lately, with some praise, a letter from
Gen. Uraga, late commandehief of
thb Liberals, refusing with MIT bitter
ness the invitation of some of his coun
trymen to come over to the Emperor,
This letter is as it appears, more Spartan
than Mexican. But a month after he
wrote his indignant refusal to betray the
Republic, Gen. Uraga has acceded to
Maximilian, if we may credit the latest
correspondence. Mexican patriotism,
we fear, does nut possess the heroic vi
tality, for Gen. Uraga alleges in excuse
that his troops were addicted to frequent
mutniy. Maximilian has taken the most
politic and conciliatory course to insure
the Empire, by inviting all the influen
tial men of the nation to his counsel.
He is now busy in organizing an army
for the Empire, out of the French force,
the recusant Mexicans, and the hereto
tofore oppressed Indians. He has also
appointed a commission of sixty to ex
amine the commercial and financial state
of the country; and it is feared by. the
Mexican clergy that the straits of the
new exchequer will compel him to rati
fy the Juarez confiscation of church
property. Less we know of Juarez him
self, whose courage and patriotism may
be vindicated when the situation be—
comes more intelligible.

Iv Aug. I.BthgOing around the Islands
to the eastward and northward, and af
terwards in a northwesterly direction
nd on Friday the appallizig news was
brought up that there was only seven
teen tons of coal on board; which- struck
us all with consternation; we were then
some three hundred miles east of the
Gulf Stream and only brie day's coal;
besides we were out of the track of ves
sels. The order was given to get up all
the wood and mix it with the coal,
"Only two cords." "Get up the spare
gun carriages and lumber, break it up
and burn it," which was done. The
next day the fuel was isll gone, and the
water was short! All 'Ands fore and aft,
were at once put on an allowance. The
next news was "the provisions are get
ting small and beautifully less " Then
the guns were dismounted and the car
riages burned. It was near night and
the engines just moving. "What is to
be done." We could not trust to the
Sails alone, for all hands would perish
for want of water, or by starvation be
fore we could make any port. "The
engines must be kept going at all
hazards." The poop deck was
torn up and put in the fires.
We had just struck the Southern edge of
the gulf stream, and the Captain had
hopes of only getting her half way across
it. The fore-yard was sent down, dis
mantled and burned. :' The fore top sail
followed; then the fore top-mast, also
the main top-masts were sent down, cut
up and put in the fires, which helped us
till morning, when we very unexpect
edly saw a sail and sent a shot across
her bows, and boarded her, hoping to
find her loaded with coal. She proved
to he the hermaphaodite brig, Emma
Dean, of Nassau, bouned to Matamoras.
She had only a tonof coal and abont
three thousand feet of lumber which we
took and setttled for, to their satisfaction
This supply lasted only to near the
north side of the gulf stream. "What
are we to do next?,' A gang was sent
down,. with orders to, knock down all
the partitions, racks, rooms, and in fact
everyoing that would burn. The carpen
ter was ordered to dismantle the ward
room, take off the doors, bulk heads and
everything that would make steam.
Hands were ordered to cut up the, bul
warks, to get up all the tarred rope of
every description, and cut it up for the
furnaces. Next the shrouds were cot
loose and burned, then the fore and
fore top stays; parties were set to work
cutting off the house , on the spar deck,
and another party to ripping up the
deck, all to make it into fuel as fast as
it was possible to do,' to keep up steam.
We were just leaving the gulf stream,
and steering in a westerly direction.
The work of destruction was still going
on, when the cheering cry of "land ho"'
was heard from the lookout. All eyes
were at once turned in the direction in
dicated, which proved to be "False

in sight, and as we came up to cape

Moro Troublo With Great Btitain.
Lonl Lyons is in receipt of com
plaints from the British Consuls at New
York, Boston, and other ports, to the
effect that English emigrants, upon the
arrival in this country, are met by sub
stitute lit,diers, drugged surreptitiously,
enlisted, and taken to the army or naval
rendezvous while in a state of stupor.
Specific cases of these outrages are said
to have been laid before the different
consuls; and the facts hate been trans
mitted by them to Lord Lyons to await
diplomatic action. It is alleged, more
over, that in New York, Mr. Archibald,
havinif been informed of certain outrages
ot this t haracter, and hearing that the
victims were on board the North Caro
lina, made application to Admiral Paul
ding to be allowed tha privilege of in
vestigating the matter on that vessel,
but was peremptorily refused. It is
stated here that the English Govern
ment will take a very decided tone with
regard to the treatment of newly-arrived
emigrants, and will insist that justice
be done to British subjects. In view Of
the temper of Parliament on this sub
ject, it is feared that some very grave
complications may arise ont of these
reported outrages. The drugging of
emigrants and enlisting them while in
that state is said to be reduced to a per
fect science.
An Outrage that Damands Pun
We learn that General Bur
bridge is making military arrests, in this
city, of citivms of Kentucky, who were
banished to Ohio by order, or who are
here of their own tree will and accord,
as being citizens of the United States,
they have a right to be. By what au
thurity General Burbridge takes upon
himself to thus desecrate the soil of
Ohio, we do not know. But this we do
know that, if there was a man of spirit
and independence officiating as Governor
of Ohio, he would soon know by what
authority General Burbridge invades the
State and kidnaps people from within
tier borders. This is an outrage that
should not be permitted to pass unnotic
ed by the Press or by the people, if
Governor Brough does fail in his duty.
Who is General Burbridge that he can
send his bayonets to Ohio, and have ar
rested citizens of Kentucky or any other
State, who may choose to come here? If
he can play the tyrant in Kentucky, is
he also authorized to extend his tyranny
to Ohio?,lWe call upon the authorities to
have these kidnappers arrested and tried
and punished, tinder the criminal stature
law of Ohio creating and defining that
offence. If we are living under law, let
us know it. If we are subjects of mili
tary power, and at the mercy of the will
of one man, the sooner we know that
the better.—Cincinnati boirlieer.
Execution of a Deserter
Barney Gibbons, formerly a private of
the 7th United States Infantry, was shot
at St. Louil, on the 12th inst., for deser
tion whilOn New Mexico, in 1861.
The condeinned man stoutly denied his
guilt, and alleged that be was captured
by the rebels. The St. Louis Union in
describing his execution says .—The six
soldiers, with muskets ready, were or
dered to "make ready—take aim—fire,"
and bullets sped their way into the body
of the victim. He exclaimed "oh ! oh !
ton low !" A shudder crept over the by
standers at the horrid sight—riddled
with balls, none of which had touched a
vital part. A moment of suspense of ag

ed forward, and delivered their fire.
The intbstincs were seen to obtrude
from the upper part of the abdomen, and
the body shook tremendously. It was
found that the urids were still not

clause leaving 10,000 . cigars for those
who might attend his funeral. This ec

that his friends should not leave the
house of mourning without drinking to
his memory all the wine left in his cel

THE NEW YORK PAPERS.—There is
a strong probability that by the Ist of
September there will be a further ad
vance in the price of fhe leading daily
newspapers of New York city. A con
coved arrangement, with that end in
view, is already under weighed, and the
probable result will be, that six cents in
stead of fovr will be charged. And
don't be surprised if, in the course of a
brief period, one or two of the weeklies
should suspend operations till this " cru
el war is over." So says a New York
letter writer.
'NEW YORK AND VIE DRAFT.—The
Volunteer Committee of New York city,
have reported to Governor Seymour
and Major Townsend, the commissioner
appointed by the Secretary of War,
names of over 20,000 naval recruits -ob
tained since :the commencement of the
war, which the commission will endeav
or to have credited to New York. If
successful the city will be saved from
the draft. The Board of Supervisors
have passed a resolution requesting the
postponement of the draft; also for the
exemption of firemen and uniforthed mi
litia.
THE N. V . Commercial states: Ins quite
certain that the draft ordered to take
place on September -51.11 will be com
menced on that day. For some time
past reasonable doubts relative to the en
forcement of the President's order at
the time has been entertained by the
public and military men. It is the in
tention of the Government to commence ,
the work on the day appointed, and
prosecute its completion as speedily as
p,,ss,ble. As stated a few (lays ago, the
enrollment has been completed and the
machinery for drafting is in working
order, ready for the turning of the
wheel.
TI7E IRON NAVY OF RUSSIA. -A St.
Petersburg letter of the 25th of July
says: The ironclad battery Pervenetz
has returned to Cronstadt,later a succes
ful trial on the open sea, under the di
rection of Rear Admiral Zikhatchoff,
commander or the iron-clad squadron.
Her average speed was eight and one
quarter knots per hour. On the 26th,
the one-towered monitors Vestehoune
and Koldotme steamer out of the mill
tary port into the eastern roadstead,
and took up their station in a line with
the Pervenetz, and the paddle•steamer
Viadimar. which carries the flag of Rear
Admiral Lkhatehoff.
THE steamship Continental, Captain
Somers, arrived at the Long Dock, Jer
sey City, on Wednesday, having on
board the lst Unitell States infantry
regiment, fmm Norfolk, and bound for
the frontier to engage in the war against
the Indians. This regiment numbers
Don men, composed of rebel prisoners,
who have taken the oath of allegiance,
and enlisted in the Union army. They
are undet l command 01 Colonel Dia
mond. The regiment was to hays
gone west on the Erie railway, but was
detained on account of the freshet on
Tuesday night carrying away some eight
or ten ,if the railroad bridges.
E FM. OF SUPERHEATING .STEAM.
Much has been written within the last
few years relative to this subject, and
there can he no doubt that if superheated
steam is properly used, a saving of fuel
may be Orreted. Many of the state
ments furnished have Made the success
too great. Some time since the English
Pacific mail steamers had their engines
arranged to use highly superheated
steam ( four hundred and fifty to five
hundred degrees,) and for a while the
change was regarded as beneficial. It is
now, however, found that this high
heat is very destructiva to the engines,
injuring the cylinders, pistons, palls
faces, and valves; and an great has this
injury been found to be, that they had to
take out and reduce the number of-su
perheating tubes.
THE FLORlDA.—Yesterday intelli
gence was received at Lloyd,s by the
ocean Gem, just arriving:at Liverpool
Cron New York, that on the 17th July,
she was spoken with by the confederate
cruiser Florida, Halifax, N. S., bearing
N. E., about twenty-two miles. The
Florida had just captured a Federal
barque, a brig and &schooner. The
Chamois steamer Electric Spark, captur
ed from the Fedeials, was in company
with Ult. Florida. The Prospero, which
arrived in the Mersey on Sunday morn
ing from Nassau, exchanged signals with
a vessel named the W. H. Clark, whose
master reported (by signal that he had
on board the crews of the American bar
que Golconda, of New Bedford, :and a
schooner, the number- of whose name
the captain of the Prospero could not
make out distinctly, both vessels having
been captured and destroyed by the
confederate steamer Florida. The Gal
conda was a whaling barque, and had
been at sea a considerable time, so long
that she must have been almost - , if not
altogether, Lull of oil.—Shipping G azette.

PROFITS OF BLOCKADE RONNTFO.—
The rivtrpool Courier publishes some
statistics in reference to the profits of
blockade iunning, A single trip, it
shows by a copy of a bona fide account,
costs $80;205. Of this amount five thous
and dollars went to the captain for one
month's service, three thousand dollars
for pilotage out and in, and other sums
equally large to officers, engineers and
others, all of whom, in view of the
risks incurred, were paid the most libe
ral waees, even the coal heaverareceiv
ing two hundred dollars a month. A
gainst this heavy expenditure the fol
lowing is given on the credit side of the
earnings:
800 bales of cotton for government $40,000
800 bales of cotton fOr owners 40,000
Return freights for government
Return freights for owners
Passengers
Thus, in case of a successful trip, the
operators make a monthly profit of $91,-
7:35. It is to be remembered. h)wever,
that very often the vessels engaged in
this business are captured at their first
venture, entailing a heavy loss. Seve—
ral foreitm houses have been almost if
clot entirely ruined by their mishaps in
this business.

Uses Sin have been afflicted many years
with severe prostrating cramps in mylimba, cold
feet and hands, and a general disordered system.
Physicians and medicines failed to relieve me.
While visiting some friends New York who were
using Plantation Bitters they prevailed upon me,
to try them. I commenced with a small wine:
glassful after dinner. Feeling better by degrees,
in a few days I was astonished to find the cold
ness and cramps had entirely left me, and I could
sleep the night through, which I had not done
for years. I feel like another being. My appe.
