CLEARFIELD. PA., JULY 2, 1862.
THE WAR NEWS.
The news from the seat of war has been
rather meagre during the past week, but eve
rything indicates more activity.
On the 21st the rebels opened fire on the
camp of Gen. Hooker's advance with shell,
but did no serious damage. Gen. Hooker an
swered from one of his heavy batteries with
good effect, and in a short time drove the reb
els out of their position and occupied their
camp and holds it.
On the 16th the V. S. troops under General
Eenham made an attack on James Island, near
Charleston, S. C, and after 4 hours bard fight
ing were repulsed, with a loss of 668 killed,
wounded and missing. The Union troops were
obliged to retreat under cover of the gun
boats. Our troops behaved with great spirit
in the engagement.
The forces under Major-Generals Fremont,
Banks and McDowell have been consolidated
into one army, called the Army of Virginia,
and Major-General Pope has been specially as
signed to the chief command. M'Call's divi
ion, ten thousand strong, has been detached
from McDowell's command, and sent to the
army before Richmond.
Major-General Fremont asked to be reliev
ed from the command of the First Army corps
of the army of Virginia, as the position as
signed him under Gen. Pope as the commander-in-chief
is subordinate and inferior to
those heretofore held by him, and therefore
would largely reduce his rank and considera
tion in the service. His request was acceded
to by the President.
OTB NEXT STATE SENATOR.
The question is frequently asked Who shall
bo our next candidate for the State Senate ?
We think Clearfield county could present as
strong claims to have the candidate as any
county in the District. We do not, however,
.know that she urges her claim. We think
that the friends of the National Administia
tion in this county, and, for aught we know
in the whole district, would be well satisfied
to sustain the Hon. L. W. Hall, for re-election.
He has filled the position for the last three
years with great ability. His course has been
such as to do honor to himself and render
satisfaction to his constituents. His strength
before the people, we believe to be as great,
if pot greater, than that of any other man in
the district; and if re-elected, his position
and influence would be such as would enable
him to render as much service to the cause of
the Union as any one we could name. We
do not now pretend to speak authoratively,yct
we believe, that we express the general senti
ments of those of our county who cordially
support the administration of Mr. Lincoln.
Gold and Promises to pay The Clearfield
Republican seems to think that Mr. McEnally
overlooked the important ilem in the finances
in bis recent speech, and says that under Mr.
Buchanan's administration gold ranged from
$tolper cent., whilst now it is 6. The
difference inremiuni, then, according to our
neighbors, is o per cent, in favor of Bucban
ism. Now lor tho "Promises to pay." At
present the Government can borrow money at
5 per cent., and its bonds have been selling at
least at par, if not at a premium. Under Bu
chanan the Government failed to borrow mon
ey at 12 percent., and some of the bids were
as high as 36, making the aggregate of the
bids 21 per cent., providing they were equally
divided. Now, any man of common sense
and judgment can see at a glance, that the
difference between 5 and 24 is 19 per cent, in
favor of the present sale of bonds. But, take
the lower figures, of the Buchanan bids, and
, between 5 and 12 you have 7 per cent, better
than nnder Buchanan's administration. The
object of our neighbors, in this kind of mis
representation, is too apparent to need fur
ther elucidation, and, therefore, we dismiss
the subject.
The Fashions. Madam Demorests' Quar
tcrly Mirror of Fashions has been received,
and is truly a valuable addition to the Ladies
department. It is published every three
months, and contains a splendid colored steel
fashion plate, and numerous other illustra
tions, with full descriptions. Three patterns
also accompany each number, which, in them
selves, are worth more than the subscription

dresses, etc., and who desire to have the la-

opportunity to gain the requisite knowledge

THE SECESH AT CAMP CUETIN.
The editor of the narrisburg Telegraph gives
an account of a visit to the Secesh prisoners,
now at Camp Curtin, from which we take the
following extract :
"The majority of the prisoners are young
men mere boys, when we estimate their abil
ity 1 o appreciate any cause, good or bad.
They took up arms, becauso it was popular to
do so when thuv enlisted. They went into
battle because they imagined that victory
would be easily achieved. This is the senti
ment of many of the secesb now in Camp Cur
tin. Others of them boldly avowed a outer
hatred for the government feign to be dis
gusted with its authority, and even in their
imprisonment, delight in declaring their con
tempt for its power. Such as these conless
that the south was deceived into the war by
the dough-laces of the north. They exclaim
ed with bitterness that northern opposition to
slavery first prompted the south to treason,
and that the promises of northern aid and sup
port was the first inducement to revolt. Had
northern dough-faceism been as true to the
south as it was heretofore servile and cringing
to its political leaders, this rebellion would
have been ended six months sinco in its com
plete triumph. With one of the shrewdest
and most malignant of the prisoners, this was
a serious thought, and seemed to delight in
the reflection that for the perfidy of the north,
the south would add to northern laboring men,
millions of debt, bankruptcy m trade, loss of
credit in merchandizing, want of confidence
in commerce, and every act which the rash
ness and the rebellion of a people could pro
duce. I have no fear, sir, for the ultimate
snccess of the rebellion,' was the declaration
of this man. 'We could procure peace, now,
if we desired such a disgrace,' he continued,
but we have other objects in view than our
own independence. We intend to bankrupt
the north and prostrate free labor. We intend
to prolong this war until the Congressional
elections come oil, when our old friends, the
dough-faces, are expected to elect a majority
of representatives in Congress, and then look
out for Jonathan. If Pennsylvania c n he in
duced to send such men as Biddle and An
cona ; if Ohio will elect a delegation of Val-
Llandighams ; if Indiana decides to give us
true men like v oorhees, and if the other north
ern States do their duty, as our friends in
those localities promised they are determined
to do, when election day comes off. the south
need no longer battle, as the fight will be tak
en off of its hands by the dough-faces. Jell
Davis understands this, and therefore he is
leading the Yankees a wild goose chase. All
that our leaders want is the tax-gatherer to go
among the people of the north, before the
election, and then there will some proba
bility arise that old Jeft may be permitted to
take his Christmas dinner in Washington, as a
solace for the disappointment in not having
been able to dine in that city la 4th of July.'
Such was at least the spirit of this conversa
tion, if it it is not the exact language.
According to the statement of this rebel a
man of some intelligence we have tho assur
ance that the leaders in this iniquitous war,
hope, through the aid and sympathy of North
ern men, finally to succeed in their hellish
plot to destroy our government. To accom
plish this end they base their hopes upon the
coming Congressional elections. Jeff Davis
is to draw our armies into "a wild goose
chase" and "prolong the war ;" whilst, under
.the lead of Ancona and Biddle of Pennsylva
nia, Vallandigham of Ohio, Voorhecs of Indi
ana, and those of like proclivities in the other
Northern States, the people are to be deceived
and induced to elect men of the Breckinridge
stripe to the next Congress.
Here, then, we have another link in the
great drama of this war. First, Vallandigham
and his thirteen associates issue an address to
the "Democracy" of the country, evidently to
flatter the unwary ; and now, we are informed
by a rebel prisoner, that the tax-gatherer is to
be sent among the people before the election
to create dissentions, in the hope of electing
a majority of rebel sympathisers to Congress
that the north is to be made bankrupt through
a prolonged war that iree labor is to be pros
trated confidence in coninit rce destroyed
and that the 'dough-faces" of the north have
"promised" that "they are determined to do"
their share of the work, provided Jeff Davis &
Co., will but perform their part iu the farce.
These ends accomplished, and -'the South
" need no longer 'battle, as the fight will be
" taken off their hands" and transferred to
Congress, and, in the end, to the Northern
States.
Thus, we have the programme of the traitors
of the South, and of their aiders and abettors I
in the North, clearly mapped out. It now
behooves the intelligent, patriotic and Union
loving people everywhere to be on their
guard. Remember, you will be told that this
is an "Abolition" war to free the "niggers"
that the people of the South have been im
prisoned unjustly that the Contitution has
been violated, and the Presidential powers
usurped. You will be appealed to to note the
corruptions cf government officials the great
destruction of lite and property the extrava
gance of the National Administration the
immense indebtedness of the country the
enormous taxation and, perhaps, to resist by
violence the collection of a direct tax. By
these, and other like representations, yon
are to be deceived and enticed into the sup
port of those who sympathise with traitors and
treason. We caution all true Union men new
at this early day to watch w-eil their own
interests, and the interests of the whole coun
try ; lest at a later period', they will be betray
ed into the hands of the enemy, who are en
deavoring to destroy the Constitution and the
Union, and to trample into the dust all our
social and religious liberties and free insti
tutions. "That's So!" Our over-the-way neigh
bors acknowledge that "there was not a par
tiele of nigger in it," (McEnally's speech).
Well, we can't say that much for the speeches
we listened to on Tuesday evening previous.
They were full of "nigger" first, last, and
all the time. Better bring "them chaps"
with you, the next time, and have them en
lightened too. It won't do them a bit of
barm.
Singular that the Court room should be
affected with a "detonation of sound." Pre
haps it was merely the explosion of the gass
that had concentrated In that locality on Tues
day evening, as that is the only inflammable
substance that is used in ecrtain quarter we
wot of.
WILL THEY EELI3H IT1
The Louisville Courier, formerly the organ
of the Breckinridge Democracy of Kentucky,
which at the beginning of the war was remov
ed to Bowling Green and then to Nashville,
seems to have "blowed out" when the rebels
evacuated the latter place. Whilst published
in the last named city, its editor promulgated
the followicg philosophy of the Rebellion :
"This has been called a fratricidal war by
some, by others an irrepressible conflict be
tween Freedom and Slavery. We respectful
ly take issue with the authors of both of these
ideas. We are not the brothers of the Yan
kees, and the Slavery question is merely the
pretext, not the cause of the war. The true
irrepressible conflict lies fundamentally in the
hereditary hostility, the sacred animosity, the
eternal antagonism, between the two races
engaged.
"The Norman cavalier cannot brook the
vulgar familiarity of the Saxon Yankee, while
the latter is continually devising some plan
to bring down hi- aristocratic neighbor to his
own detested level. Thus was the contest
waged in the old United States. So long as
Dickinson dough-fao.es were to be bought, and
Cochran cowards to be frightened, so long was
the Union tolerable to Southern men ; but
f when, owing to divisions in our ranks, the
Yankee hirelings placed one or their own
spawn oer us, political connection became
unendurable, and separation necessary to pre
serve our self-respect.
"As our Norman kinsmen in England, al
ways a minority, have ruled their Saxon coun
trymen in political v.issulngo up to the pres
ent day, so have we, the 'slave oligarchs' gov
erned the Yankees till within a twelvemonth.
We framed the Constitution, for seventy
years moulded the policy of the Government,
and placed our own men or 'Northern men
with Southern principles' in power.
"On the 6th of November, I860, the Puri
tans emaacipated themselves, and are now in
violent insurrection against their lormer own
ers. TJiis insane holiday lreak will not last
long, however, for dastards in fight, and in
capable of self government, they will inevita
bly again fall under the control of the superior
race. A few more Bull Run thrashings will
brine: theni once more under the voke as
docile as the most loyal of our Ethiopian
chattels.' "
Here is set forth a cause lor the present re
bellion, by a Southern "Democrat." He says
the "Slave Oligarchs" could loleralethe "Yan
kees" so long as they could buy "Dickinson
doughfaces," or frighten "Cochran cowards,"
but when these northern "hirelings" began to
think for themselves and threw off the yoke
of "political vassalage" and placed "one of
their own spawn" over the Southern "caval
ier," then the "connection became unendur
able" and "separation became necessary to
preserve self-respect ;" and that "the slavery
question is merely the pretext, not the cause
oi the war," and was only used to frighten
these "cowards" and "dastards" into submis
sion to the "owners" who had bought them.
These "political hirelings" and vassals,"
however, not being able to control the masses
in the election of I860 to the entire satisfac
tion of their Southern masters, are now
threatened with "a few ;more thrashings" like
that of Bull's Run, which, it is asserted, "will
bring theni once more under the yoke as do
cile" as the most faithful of their "Ethiopian
chattels" in th South.
Surely, this is not n very flattering portrait
of a northern "dough-face," yet, perhaps, a
correct one. However as this SoutLern
"Democratic" artist seems t i be so perfectly
acquainted with his subject, we shall not nn
dertake to criticise his picture- preferring to
leave the reader to judge of its merits and
truthfulness ns presented by this "dear broth
er" of the South.
How to no Good. "The Washington City
Soldiers Relief Association" have issued an
appeal to the citizens of Pennsylvania, which
is worthy the attention of all patriotic and be
nevolent peoplo in tho State. Many of our
bravo and gallant soldiers, who have been
wounded in battling for their country, have
suffered much, in times past, on account of
the scarcity of proper clothing and other ne
cessary articles in our hospitals. This Asso
ciation proposes to supply these deficiencies
to the extent of their abilities, and ask the
hearty co-operation of their fellow citizens in
the good cause. Uere, then, is an opportuni
ty presented to do good, which should not be
overlooked. Fathers, mothers, brothers, and
sisters, who have a loved one in the great U
nion army, should not neglect this opportuni
ty to lend a helping hand. Some may say,
"we are too poor." But, friends, have you
not frequently spent a quarter of a dollar un
profitably or foolishly ? Most certainly you
have ; and we have no doubt that many will
do so again at the first opportunity. Instead
of going to a "one-horse circus," or similar
humbug, we advise you to spend your money
for something that may add to the relief or
comf rt of your son, brother, husband, or
father, who has been wounded in defending
the blessings which you now enjoy. Remem
ber this, and act the part of the good Samari
tan. Do not pass by on the other side ; lest,
in the future, yon may reproach yourselves
for having neglected your duty to those who
are near and dear to yon. Read the appeal of
the Association, and profit thereby.
The Stmpatuizers with treason in Pennsyl
vania and elsewhere do not like to bo called
Breckinridgers. They protest and declaim
against it as an act of gross injustice. Well,
if they are ashamed of the name, we propose
to drop it forever if they will be honest
enough to drop the doctrines of their late can
didate for the Presidency. But the harder he
fights against the flag the more strenuously
they advocate bis opinions. Ilia speeches be
fore he went over into the ranks of the com
mon enemy, are the models upon whieb their
speeches and editorials are framed. Like
him, they denounce, the Abolitionists; like
him, they declare that the Constitution has
been violated by the President, and like him,
they insist that the friends of the Administra
tion are intent upon immediate emancipation
and negro equality. Still more do they re
semble Brig. Gen. Breckinridge, of the rebel
army. They are silent when they come to
bis own perjury and ingratitude ; silent over
the bloody recital of traitor barbarities and
crimes, and silent whenever their attention is
called to the proscription of the loyal Union
men of the South. If they have not earned
the name of Breckinridgers, then Breckin
ridge himself has not earned the name of
traitor. Philadelphia Press.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL."
Camp on the Chick adomi.nt June 21st 1862.
Dear Row : I once more avail myself of the
rude conveniences of the camp to pen you a
few lines so that you may know our whereabouts
at the present time, and how we got here.
Wnen 1 last wrote to you, we were lying in
camp opposite r reaencKSDurg. un me ium
we marched o miles down the KappahannocK,
to a point below the obstructions in the river,
to be transposed to the White House to rein
force Gen. McCIellan. On the Ilth, after get
ting our battery on board two small schooners,
we started on our journey, and at dark cast
anchor in front of Port Royal, a little village
pleasantly located on the south bank of the
river. We were in tow or the little tug, tit-
isan and made about 8 knots an hour. The
next morning by the break of day we were off
again, and at 1U o'clock we passed a rebel bat
tery which was no doubt intended to command
the river. A small schooner and a steam tug
were sunK close to the battery, but whether
from the effects of rebel shots, or not, I am
not able to say. The town of Tappahannock
is siirtated a short distance above the battery
and has a very pleasant appeal ance. We
passed into Chesapeake Bay at 4 P. M., and
stood out about 5 miles to get clear of the shoal
water and leached New Point Comtort at 8.
Under the impressioa that he was about, to
enter the mouth of l ork river, our pilot
rounded to and ran in towards shore, but pres
ently we were warned by men on board, some
lighters, that w- were , running into Mob Jack
Bay, and well nigh on York s, it', which I was
inlormed was a low reef of rocks and shoals.
But fur this timely warning we might have
been wrecked there before any one would
thought of danger. Being made aware of his
danger, the pilot turned about and once more
stood out in the Bay, and when at a safe dis
tance we cast anchor and remained there lor
the balance of the night.
On the next morning, the 13th, we resumed
our voyage and alter proceding some 8 or 10
miles further down, we bore towards land and
entered York river, passing Yorktown and
Gloucester point about 8. Here th fortifica
tions presented quite a formidable appearance,
as they were especially intended to command
the entrance of the river. We passed West
Point at the junction of the Mettapeny and
Pfmunkey rivers, and passed up the latter,
reaching our destination at 4 p. m. I think
the Pamunkey is about the crookedest
river I ever saw. The West Branch of the
Susquehanna through the mountains, not be
ing a circumstance to It. There is much to
admire along both the Rappahannock and Pa
munkey, but I have not time ai d space to
notice them now, as in these war times their
interest is entirely lost iu the more absorbing
topic of war.
After reaching the White House we found
everything wild with excitement, consequent
ly upon a forage of a party of guerillas, who
fired into a train of cars killing one man and
wounding others, also the burning of 3 sloops,
4 miles up the river and killing part of the
crew. We commenced about 11 o'clock, at
double quick.toget our battery on shore as the
strength of the enemy was not knownfcand the
probability was that the guns might be need
ed. Owing to our guns being detached from
the carriages, and the carriages and caissons
being taken to pieces in order to economise
space, there was no little delay in getting the
battery on shore and set up in proper order.
But by dilligent working till 4 o'clock in the
morning, we had everything belonging to the
Battery safely landed on terra firma, and set
up ready for action. After partaking of our
morning meal, we marched about a mile
down the river and encamped to rest both
horses and men. About 10 o'clock we were
surprised to hear a report that a band of gue
rillas were lurking in the woods contiguous
to the river, and in a twinkling onr boys threw
the harness on the horses, and quietly await
ed the result of a reconnoisance then being
made by a detachment of the 11th Pensylva
nia Cavalry. In a short time they returned
without being able to find am cause for alarm,
and in a few minutes all was quiet in camp as
it nothing had transpired.
At 11 o'clock A. M., on the 14th in obedi
ence to orders we started towards Richmond,
and at 4 p. m., we halted at 'f unstalls station,
the scene of the late attack on the running
train. While encamped here for the night, I
had time to" make a short reconnoisance of
the surrounding neighborhood, and found some
very good specimens of rebel vandalism.
The first was tho destruction of a sutlers wag
on and the loss of his horses, which fell into
the rebels hands. From all the information
I could get at the place, it is fair to infer,
that the suttler himself was brutally murdered.
The next object that met my eyes was, the
destruction of a train of 12 government wag
ons, which were no doubt transporting forage
and commissary stores to the extreme left
wing of the army. There were many other
depredations committed which I have not
time to note. Enough has been noticed of
the iuhuman and barbarous cruelty practised
by these fiends, n human form, to satisfy the
powers that bothat lenient measures only
serve to increase the passions of these skulk
ing desperadoes, and it is high time to make
a severe example out of every one that falls
Into our hands.
On the morning of the 16th, we resumed
our march, and about 4 p. m., we reached Dis
patch station. Nothing of interest transpired
along the road on this days march, if I may
except the condition of the roads, which were
bad in some places in the extreme. We re
mained at the station during the 17th, in or
der to have a review of our condition by (re
port says) Gen. McCIellan. He did not make
his appearance however, and on the I8th we
arrived at this place. Scarcely had we got
our tents struck, when we were ordered to
Mechanicsville, to support tho pickets with
artillery, should the rebels on the opposite
side of the river make any hostile demonstra
tions upon them. We bivouacked for the night
about a mile west of the village, and to be
ready for any emergency. Our horses were
harnessed at 2 o'clock, and at six a. m., of
the 19th, we took up position on an eminence
commanding the road leading across the river
at meadow Bridse. and about li miles from
the enemy's fortifications, and a mile from
their pickets at the river. We remained
there during the 20th till about 12 o'clock
and then returned to this place, where we are
how encamped. There was very heavy can
onading across the river opposite our camp,
said to be the enemy trying to prevent our
boys from bridge building. I have heard of
no barm done to our boys by the rebel firing,
and they proceed with their work as if nothing
was going on to molest them. I think the
day is not far distant when the General will
move towards Richmond to take part in the
business of running the secesh mersheen, as it
is said that that is the place "here the bogus se
cesh government received all its vitality.
The weather here has been oppressively hot
for the last 10 days and the roads have become
much improved, and in most places they are
very dusty. This is a remarkable country
for sterility, bad water, and large swamps, and
contrasts very s'rangely with the fertile val
leys of other parts of the State.
From the best information I can get, we are
now in the immediate vicinity of Powbattan
swamps a name closely connected with the
adventures of the primitive settlers of the
State. When we make an advance I shall
probably bave something more to couiruuni-
cate, as I can think of nothing more at pres
ent; so I conclude by bidding you, for the
present, adieu. . Yours, . W. R. B.
To the People of Pennsylvania.
The Washington City Pennsylvania Sol
diers' Relief Association, that it may realize
the objects it has in view, appeals to you for
material aid. In doing so, it is deemed prop
er that these objects be publicly declared, and
the plan it has adopted tor effecting theni
briefly disclosed.
The Association proposes to act as an aux
iliary to the agency established here by the
State for carrying aid, comfort, and consola
tion to her sick and wounded sons in the army
of the Republic. The Association intends to
have at its rooms lists of the names of Penn
ey Ivan ians in the hospital here, and, as far as
possible, elsewhere; it will seek to apprise
the soldier's friends of his condition ; it will
strive to place in his hands and about him
those little nameless comforts which no Gov
ernment, however paterniil, and no Govern
ment agency, however complete or efficient,
can, or can be expected to procure or distrib
ute; it will look to the burial of the dead,
and keep such records thereof that affection
may find the spot where its treasure is laid ; it
will endeavor to impart at its rooms sucn in
formation as may conduce to the great purpose
in view the comfort of our suffering brothers.
To secure the co-operation of numbers in
accomplishing the ends thus generally stated,
the Association has adopted a constitution,
and chosen a board of otliceis, consisting of a
president, five vice presidents, an Executive
Committe of thirteen, and a Finance Commit
tee of seven, a treasurer, and a recording and
corresponding secretary. The Executive
Committee has appointed a number of subor
dinate committees, each with its appropriate
duties. They have also selected a storekeep
er and provided a storeroom. The Finance
Committee is enjoined to collect funds and
other supplies, and empowered to appoint, if
found necessary, subordinate committees to
visit your aid. Cootrihiitois will send money
donations to any member of the undersigned
Finance Committee, or to Jay Cooke & Co.,
treasurer. But if your gifts be in clothing,
or other comforts, send them to some memluT
of the Finance Committee only. All inqui
ries relative to soldiers should be directed to
the corresponding secretary.
With entire confidence, the Association ap
peals to.the loyalty and generosity of a peo
ple who have never shrunk from sacrifice or
suffering when the country called for them,
as now, in a just and noble cause. God per
mits us to live in troublous but heroic times,
when justice, mercy, and humanity unite in
summoning all to the discharge of high du
ties, at the expense of personal comfort and
selfish considerations. Wherever the Chris
tian or the philanthropist has gone forth from
yon to this field of labor, among the sick and
suffering, yon have followed him lovingly and
trustingly, with your means and your bles
sings. The knowledge of this, borne to ns
on every breeze, encourages us in this our
appeal. Remember, it is noi money alone we
shall need. Those who cannot givt that, cm
bestow some garment from their wardrobe, or
some comfort from there store-house. Our
appeal is before you ; of the nature of the re
sponse we entertain no doubt.
In behalf of the Finance Committee,
D. L. Eaton, Chairman.

AVER'S SARSAPARILLA. Ii
centrattd extract of Para Saraaparilla. ,
combined with other substance of Mill grcatf
alternative power as to afford an effective antido
for dis ascs Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. So-K
a remedy is surely wa.ted by those who ta.
from Strumous complaints, and that one wh"'
will accomplish their cure must prove of iinmfjCa
service to this largo class of our afflicted
citizens. How completely this compound
it has been proven by experiment on man v of th
rforst cases to be found in the following i.,,
plaints :
Scrofula and Scrofula complaint!". Eruption, nJ
Eruptive diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, blotches Tu
mor?. Salt Hheum, Scald Head, Syphilis, an Sv
philitio affections. Mercurial disease.' lrorT
Neuralgia or lie Dolorcux, Debrlitv. ivprpia
and Indigestion, Erysipelas. Hoeeor s't. Anthony j
fire, and indeed the whole da? of complains
arising from impurity of the blood.
This compound will be tound a great promoter
of health, when taken in the spring, to expel th,
foul humors which fester in the bluo.l at that sea
son of the year. By the tiim-ly expulsion of ihm
many rankling disorders are nipped in tho bud
Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare
themselves from the endurance of foul eruption
and ulcerous sores, through which the svstra
will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if no' .ijt
ed to do this through the natural ohannc! of th
body by an alternative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its iropuritiet
bursting through the skin i.. pimples, eruption,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed
and sluggish in the veins ; dense it whenever is
is foul, and your feelings will tell you when
Even where no particular disorder i felt. pnr.;
enjoy better health.and live longer. for c!crnir,.
the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and at
well ; but with the pubulum of life diwirJt re j.
there can be no lasting health. Sooner or lr
something must go wrong, and the great machic
ery of life is disordered or overthrown.
During late years, the public have been misled
by large bottles, pretending to give a qu.irt .f
Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar .Must .t'
these bave been frauds upon the su-k, for they
nt only contain little, if any sarsaparilla. but
painful disappointment has followed the ue of
the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood
the market, until the name itself is justly d-spis-.i
and has become ?y nonoin ius with imposition and
cheat? Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla.
and intend to puppiy cucn a remedy as snail res
cue the name from the load of obliqny which
rests upon it. And we think we have ground f ir
believing it has virtues which are irresistible hy
the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to
cure.
