    CLEARFIELD, MARCH 26, 1862.
Gem. Popk'i Adtakce. The march of Geo.
Fops from Commerce to New Madrid was one
of the moat difficult moremeota ot the present
war. For a fortnight paat hear? slege-gnna
bar been abipped from Mound City by boat
to Commerce, which bare been dragged over
land from tbat point to Gen. Pope's position
In the rear of and near New Madrid. The
ronda are, just now, as all roada are in Spring,
deep and heavy In this part or the country be
yond eonoeption. From six to twelre horses
bare been required tor each piece, and with
thia force tbe progresi has been alow, tho
sticking In mud-boles and sloughs innumera
ble. Added to these difficulties, was tbe bos
tiliry of tbe half-barbarous butternut natlres,
indigenous to the swamps of Southeastern Mis
souri. The entire march of Gen. Fepe from
Commerce to bis present position, is one un
paralleled for its difficulties and hardships.
Many days, when marching from daylight nntii
late at night, tbe column . would not adrance
more than fire miles, and eren then tho wag
ons, unable to keep up would be scattered
orer tbe entire distance, stuck singly or by
dozens in the depths of Missouri mud. Nev
er did a route present obstacles seemingly ao
insurmountable, and nerer were obstacles
more determinedly met and wore persistently
orercomee. An ocean of mud lay every
where, which, without reference to gravity,
bad flowed into rallaya, up the bill-sides, orer
their summits-mud fathom leas an4 unyielding.
Tbe men waded through it, ate in it, slept in
it, were surrounded by It, as St. Helena is by
tbe ocean. .
RcriNEXcirTS iw Rebel CauEttr. The sla
very insurrection has completely turned the
heads, as well as tbe heart's, of the traitors in
Missouri. Neither vtbo tics of religion, hu
manity, patriotism, or neighborhood bare kept
their wonted bold. This lunacy has of late
taken a rery atrango and cruel shape. Tbe
Union men are being honied out by these
lawless dare-devils, like wild beasts or nexious
reptiles. A remarkable instance ef this spe
cies of diabolism is related by a worthy gen
tleman at headquarters. It appears that the
loyal people of Lexington have been briishe
from their homes for some weeks. One f the
Home Guards, a German, Fettes by name,
rentured to rerisit his home In Lexington,
since the proximity of General Prentice. A.
party of rebels discovered him In a bouse saw
der a bluff, and seized him. They did cot
awear him, as some of good-natured folks may
imagine, but aa tbe river was conrieirt!y
near, they tied a rock to his neck with a rope,
and threw him Into tbe river. Tbe peer mar
tyr, struggling for his life, managed to swim
ashore, when these chivalrous sons of Mars
threw him orer again, and again he regained
hia foothold, a third tune they cast bioa dnto
tbe atream, and then left him ferdead. Fet
tea, however, managed to carry tbe rock until
he got into shoal water, and after waiting un
til hia captors had gone, he made kis escape.
The Loss at Fort Donelsok. A corre
spondent of the Chicago Tribune gires the
following statement of the losses at Fort Oon
elaen :
There nerer baa been a more aererely con
tested fight with such fatal loss on the Ameri
can soil. Lteat. Col. White, Lieut. Col.
Smith, Lieut. Col. Erwin, Adjutant Kirkpat
rlck, and aooe twelre others of the commis
sioned officer were killed.
Col. Logan, Lieut. Col. Ranson, Adjutant
Caphart, and at least seventeen other com
laieeioned officers were wounded on the right
wing.
The loss of Gen. McCIernand's Division was
'Rilled 803, wounded 1.054, missing 150 total
J ,607. The loss of the 2d division, Col. W.U
JL. Wallace commanding, which did the fight
ing in the most hotly contested part of the
field was, killed 122, wounded 462, missing
i Uo total o
Tbe heaviest loss to any one regiment was
tbe 11th Illinois, which went into tbe fight
witn iiw men ana officers, and come out with
wU. Two companies in this regiment, com
pany K, Capt. Carter of La Salle, went into
action with 62 men and came out with 9 ; com
pany EI, Capt. Coatea of Peru, went in with
SI men and came out with 10. Thia will give.
an idea of the bard fighting and tbe terrible
loss sustained.
A Fearless Dctchman. After the battle of
Mill Spring, our aoldiers entered tho rebel
4'ortificatisns, and one of the first discovered a
barrel wbicb proved to contain apple brandr
Fulling out tbe corncob from tbe bungbole,
he turned it up and filled a canteen. While
-doing this one of Bob McCook'a skirmishers
came in, and aaja :
" Vot yon gets there ?
Tbe aoldier replied tbat it appeared to be
?reuy lair apple brandr, upon which the
Dutchman ran to tbe deor, calling out to bis
companions, furiously t
"Hans 1 Ilenrich 1 aebnaps ! see, come a
rous I.' upon wbicb a dozen Dutchmen came
in, and tbe brandy which was not spilled np
n tbe ground, was soon transferred to their
canteens.
"Dots," said the aoldier. "roa had belter
lookout; this Is a doctor's shop, there might
uo airyonoiae to tbat brandy."
They paused a moment to look at each other
when one of them exclaimed t
"Py Got, Hans, I tell you rat I do ; I trlnks
some, and IT It don't kill me den yeu trlnks."
.Upon which be took a long and hearty pull at
ilile canteen, and smacking hlsfllps a moment,
iu i aii rrgoi, nans, go ahead."
And they did go ahead, and in a few mtn
utea the cask was empty.

As to the Civil War now devastating our coun

er before known a Rebellion in the interest of

to raise higher the walls of caete and tighten the
chains of oppression. Having done all wo could
without a surrender of vital principle to avoid
this War. and witnessed the lorbearance, meek
nees, and long-sufierfng with which the Federal
Government sought to avert its horrors, we hold
it our clear duty, with that of every other citizen
to stand by th nation and its fairly chosen ru
lers, and to eeoond with all our energies their ef
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and
the supremacy of the laws. And. though the Re
bellion has become, through usurpation, deception,
terroism. and spoliation, fearfully strong, we be

May 1, 1800. Ellen S.. wt. 25, single, t
was very strong. Two years sgo rhe had 4n t
tack of acute rheumatism, from whieh she waca
fined to her bed for two wi-rka. and ubequBtlr
from a relps for four more. She has ben wej;
since then till lait Saturday; while eiitf.tjrei iB

later her ankles began to swell which was failoi.

then, is a case of acute rheuniatirm. or. a it it uow
fashionably called, rheuraatio fever. It is a weil
marked typical cane. We a ill careful w;.h tha
ease, and from time to time call your attention w
the various symptoms which present themcWr,
My chief object in brit.ging her before you now i
to call your attention to a remedy which has re
cently been recommended in tbetreatuientof rheu
matism. I moan propylamine. Dr. A wenarius of
8t. Petersburg, recommends it in tbe highest term
having derived great benefit from its use in 2io
cases which came under his care. Various com
mendatory testimonials respecting it have appear
ed in our journals, and I propose giving it acothrr
trial. I must confess 1 am al a vs incredulous at
to the worth of new remedies, which are vaunt i
as specifics ; but this comes to us recommended u
highly, that wo are bound to give it a trial.
SAME CASE FOUR DAYS LATER '.
May 23, 18G0. I wi 1 now exhibit to you the p s
tient for whom I prescribed Propylamine, and
who was then laboring under an attack of acuta
rheumatism. She has steadily taken it ia don
of three grains, every two hours, (intertwining it
at night). The day after you saw her, I found ter
much more comfortable, better than she expectxi
to be for a week or more, judging from her ether
attack. (The patient now walked into the room
The improvement has steadily progTeasod. and
you cannot fail to cotice a marked change la tha
appearance of her joints, which are now nearlyef
theirnaturalsite. Thus farourexperiment would
have seemed very euccviul ; but gentlemen wa
must wait a little while before we can give a de
cided opinion as to what is to be the result.
THREE DAYS LATER !
Mat 23,1850. This is the case of acute rhenoit
tisra treated with propylamine, the first of tho la
which I called your attention at our last elimp
She is still very comfortable, and is now takiL
three gratns thrice daily.
In this case it has seemed to be followed by ver
satisfactory results. The second case to "whicu

also continued to do well. I will now britg -fore

and which it waa remarked wasa fair opportuni?
for testing the worth of our new remedy. It waj
therefore steadily given in three grain doc erary
two hours for four days. The patient h&s got aloe?
very nicely, and is now able to walk about aa you

as severe a ease of acute rheumatism so soon rrst'
ed to health as this man has len, and without h
iiifr prepared to decide positively as to the valurot
the remedy we have used, I feel bound to state that
in the cases in which we have tried the chlondt e
Propylamine, the patients have gained their halt
much earlier than under th treatment ordinarily
pursued. I wish, gentlemen, you would your
selves try it, and report tne results.
