Still thkv comb ! Wo would announce to
persons at tending the Fair, and to the public
generally, that Messrs.. Boyntou & Showers
have just opened a Second supply of Fall and
Winter goods, which they are selling low for
cash. Joe has the reputation of being a clev
er salesman, and, we have no doubt, will treat
customers with all duo courtesy.and sell them
goods to the very best advantage. At all
events we would advise persons to give him a
call before making purchases.

SINGULAR ALVENTTJE.E.
For several days past a small lad was obser
ved wandering through the streets of Manay
inik , stopping here and there wherever he
could find fudging, fie was noticed upon the
streets at all hours of the flight, :ind it soon be
came evident to the police authorities that lie
was a vagrant, and had no home. The atten
tion of Oflicer Boyd Adams was called to the
tact, and he took the l id into custody, lie
then told the following story : lie said his
name was Charles Martin, that he was twelve
ears of age, and formerly hailed from .New
York. He had volunteered his services with
ti e Captain of a company, and had been at the
t-::t of war, from where he had just returned,
l aving had a severe attack of the typhoid fe
ver, r.nd came here in order to fully regain
Lis health. The lad was finally committed to
tf.e House of Refuge, where it was discovered
l!iat he was still suffering from the effects of
t phoid fever. Under these circumstances, it
vas deem-d advisable to send hliu to the
Pennsylvania Hospital for medical treatment,
lie was admitted into this institution, and the
j:urse who had charge of him discovered that
the boy was a girl. Up to this hour the de
ception was carried on with success, no one
vit dreaming that this poor unfortunate was
a f.-ir.ile. Upon Ihe detection of the sex, the
pirl stated that her real ao was fourteen years,
t!:.;t ;!'. gave twelve years in order belter to
tarry on the deception. She resided in Bucks
county, mid during her sojourn "in the army
1 ail pass d through some seven or eight bat
tles. She only acted in the capacity of a ser
vant, and performed all the duties""of one in
that position. The young girl, since she has
been discovered, seems very penitent and wil
ling to answer any question that may be put
to her. Her case is iie more deserving of
1'iiy than censure.
CLIPPINGS AND f CSIBjJLISGS.
A L'mi-k Girl Down is Dixie. A correj
.,"!:i!c:it !'ru!ii the 13th Wisconsin, (now a
S:t vctig.,n, Ala..) writes as follows : "At Pino
Factories aiul Pulaski," cloth fabrics are pro
duced ; and at the latter place we sawj great
riiiulKT of fair, young faces, peering from the
1 actury windows, as we marched by with col
ors fijing and bands playing "Way down
South, in tiie Land of Cotton,"' &c. One
vontig Ia!y stood at the gate in front of her
liutae, evidently uot an uninterested specta
tor. A soldier pointed to the National flag,
an.l asked lier how she liked it. She replied
That is the flag that I love; who would not
fear death fighting under its folds V An old
nun stau.ling behind her, under the porch, sank
it:tu a chair and wept. We passed on, and shal'
sever know more of that old man or that beau
tilul maiden ; but they doubtless have a his
tory that is worth knowing."

P'iKsEST Importance of a High Premium
( Gold. It is well known that it is the wish
,f J!r. Secretary Chase, the financial Nestor,
tta' gold should remain at forty or fifty per
Ct'''-, premium. This would prevent largo
'"iKirtations of foreign goods and the coDse
l"Mt exportation of gold to pay tor them.
This rate of premium on gold would also have
tend,..UCy to encourage the exportation of our
products and manufactures, because of the
d'dereoce of exchange betweeu Europe and
'scountrv.

AN0THEB LETTER OF VALLANDIGHAM'S
The Proof of his Treason Accumulate.
The Ohio Slate Journal publishes the follow
ing letter from Vallasdiguam to a rebel Col
onel a copy of which was sent North by
James Flinn West, Co. A, Nineteenth O. V.
I., who, in a letter to bis brother, thus relates
how the document came into his possession :
While out on a recconnoissance yesterday,
we captured the baggage and private papers
of Col. D. D. Inshall.of the 8th AIabama,(reb
el) regiment. The following interesting and
delectable letter, written by C. L. Vallandig
iiam, while here, was found among his papers.
I seud you a copy of it, bo that you may know
where this man stands, uud be governed accor
dingly, as from the tenor of your last letter I
was led to believe that you was inclined to fa
vor his election as Governor of Ohio. But
when you come to understand his damnable
treason, I hope for the sake of the good name
of our family, aud the cause of our country,
you will with-hold your vote from so bad a
man. The original letter will be sent to head
quarters for "Rossey's" inspection.
Copy ot letter captured
Dear Col. : i'our kind note and invitation
of yesterday was this morning handed me by
your brother in-law, who will hand you this
in return. It would give me much pleasure
to visit yon and your command before leaving
the Confederacy, but it is now impossible to
do so, as I have made arrangements to start
this A. M., with tho earliest traiu for Wil
mington. You surmise correctly, when you say that
you believe me to be the friend of tho South
in her stiuggle for freedom. My feelings have
been publicly expressed iu my own country,
in that quotation from Lord Chatham "My
Lords.you cannot conquer America." There
is not a drop of Puritan blood in my veins. I
hate, despise and defy the tyrannical Govern
ment which has sent me among you, for my
opinions' sake, and shall never give it my
support iu its crusade upon your institutions.
But you are mistaken when you say there are
but few such in the United States, North.
Thousands are there who would speak out but
for the military despotism that strangles them.
Although the contest has been, and will
continue to be, a bloody one, you have but to
persevere, and the victory will surely be
yours. 1'ou must strike homo ! The defeu
sive policy lengthens the contest. The short
est load to peace is the boldest one. You can
have your own terms by gaining a battle on
your enemy's soil.
Accept my kind regards for your personal
welfare, and sincere thanks for your kind
wishes in my behalf, and hoping and praying
tor the ultimate cause in which you are fight
ing, believe me, as ever, your fiiend,
C. L. Vallanuigham.
Col. D. D. I.vsiiall, 8th Ala. Vols.
Read This. De Bow, in a late number of
his Southern Review, says of the new order of
things to grow out of the Rebellion, if it suc
ceed : ''The real civilization of a country is
in its aristocracy. The masses are moulded
into soldiers and artisans by intellect, just as
matter and the elements of nature are made
into telegraphs and steam engines. The poor,
who labor all day, are too tired at night to
study books. If "ou malce them learned, they
soon forget all that is necessary in the com
mon transactions of life. To make an aristo
crat in the future we must sacrifice a thousand
paupers. Yet we would by all means make
the ra make them permanent too, by laws of
entail and primogeniture. The right to gov
ern resides in a very small minority ; the du
tv to obey is inherent in tho great masses of
mankind. All government begins wilh usur
pation, and is continued by force. There is
uothmg to which the South entertains so great
a dislike as universal sutfrage. Wherever for
eigners settle together in targe numbers ,there uni
versal suffrage tall exist.3'
Let those who profess modern Democ
racy, and naturalized citizens who support
the rebel cause, study tho abovo picture of
what the South wants.and see how they like it.
VOTING N2GE0ES.
Before the election, the copperheads were
continually crying out, that the friends of the
Government were the friends of the negro, and
that the object of the war against the rebellion
was to place the negro on a level with white
men. By the use of such subterfuges, tbe dir
tiest and meanest ever resorted to by men
claiming intelligence, much mischief was done
and many an unsuspecting voter was seduced
from his duty. But tho proceedings at the
polls, where the professions of men become
practical, proved that the copperheads were
in reality "the nigger party." In one of the
election districts in this county, the copper
head leaders actualy voted "American citizens
of African descent." We give this as a fact,
and if any man doubts it, we refer him to Dr.
Ileck, who can sustain our statmeut it he is
disposed to support the truth. Hereafter, wo
want to hoar no more from tbe copperheads
on the subject of "nigger parties." Harris

Results of Electing a Loyal Governor. :
The Louisville (Ky) Journal says :
'Gov. Bramlette has determined that the
guerrillas shall be routed from tho State, and
the General Order ot Adjutant General Boyle,
which we publish, will bring every lukewarm
Kentuckian to a vivid sense of his duty. Un
less at least one company is raised in each
county in the State by the 21th of this month,
a draft will be immediately enforced. Tbe
Governor says 'the State shall be free from it
murderous foes, even though every arm is requir
ed to aid in their destruction."
This shows clearly the effect of electing a
loyal man as Governor of Kentucky. If that
State had possessed such a Governor at the
breaking out of the rebellion her soil would
never have been disgraced by tho tread of reb
el foes.
The wounded recently paroled and retnrned
to our lines at Chattanooga by Bragg bad re
mained eight days upon the fields without hav
ing their wounds dressed. The Federal sur
geons who were prisoners were not allowed to
touch ouo of our wounded during the entire
time they were there. The enemy had no
supplies, and many of our men suffered terri
bly. Well Donk. The ladies of tho Meadville,
Pa., Soldiers' Aid Society had in operation,
during the late Agricultural Fair in that place,
a refreshment stand and dining saloon, from
which they cleared over five hundred dollars
all of which goes to swell the charitable fund
of the United StaieB Sanitary Commissions.

It is a singular fact that while not a single
accident has occurred to .the guns on board
the Ironsides and Monitors, five of General
Gillmore's guns of the same calibre as those
used by the navy, have exploded or become
damaged since the siege of'Charleston began.
Experienced naval officers explain this by the
fact that the projectiles used by the Monitors
were "slushed" or greased before being ram

Although not disposed to favor or recommend
Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of
their ingredients- and effects ; I yet know of no
sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to
the benefits he believes himself to have received
from any simple preparation in the hope that ho
may thus contribute to tho benefit of others.
I do this the more readily in regard to Hoof
land's German Litters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, of this city, because I was prejsdicod a
gainst them for many years, under the impres
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture.
I m indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker,
Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proiier
tests, and for encouragement to-try rhem. when
suffering from great and long continued debility.
The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at tho
beginning'of the present year, was followed by
evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bod
ily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six
months before, and had almost despaired of ro
gaining. I therefore thank God and my friend
for directing me to the use of them.

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS !
AND THE FRIENDS OP SOLDIERS.
We call the attention of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that '-Hoofxaxd's
German Litters"' will cure nine tenths ef tb dis
eases induced by exposures and privations inci
dent to camp life. In the lists, published almost
daily in the newspapers, on the arrival of the
sick, it will be noticed that a very large propor
tion are suffering from debility. Every case of
that kind can be readily cured by Hooflanda Ger
man Uitters, Diseases resulting from disorders
of the digesti vo organs are speedily removed. Wo
hava no hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters
were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of
lives iaight be saved that otherwise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the following re
markable and well authenticated cure of one the
nation's heroes, whoso life, to use his own lan
guage, "has been S'tved by the Bitters :''
Pailaoelpuia. August 23rd, 1862.
3Iexsrs. Jons ir lvuii. Well, gentlemen.your
Hoofland's German Bitters has saved my life.
There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for
by numbers of my comrades, some of whose names
aro appended, and who were fully cognizant of
all the circumstances of my case. 1 am. and
have been tor tbe last four years, a member of
Sherman's celebrated battery, and under the im
mediate command of Capt. R. B. Ayrcg. Through
tho expo sure attendant upon my duties, I was
attacked in November last with inflammation of
tho lungs, and was for seventy-two days in tho
hospital. This was followed by great debility,
heightened by an attack of dysentery. I was then
removed from the White House, and sent to this
city on board tho Steamer State of Maino,'from
which I landed on the 28th of June. Since that
time 1 have been about as low as any ouo could
be and still retain a spark of vitality. For a
week or more I was scarcely able to swallow. any
thing, and if I did force a morsel down, it wad
immediately thrown up again.
1 could not eveo keep a glass of water on my
stomach. Life could not last under these circum
stances; and, accordingly, the physicians who
had been working faithl'ally, though unsuccess
fully, to rescue ma from the grasp of the dread
Archer, frankly told mo they could do no moro
for me, and advised mo to see a clergyman, and
to make such disposition of my limited funds as
best suited me. An acquaintance who visited me
at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Steinborn. of Sixth
below Arch Street, advised me, as a forlorn hope,
to try your Hitters, and kindly procured a bottle.
From the time I commenced taking them the
gloomy shadow of death receded, and I am now.
thank God for it. getting better. Though 1 have
taken but two bottles. I have gained ten pounds,
and I feel sanguine of being permitted to rejoin
my wife and daughter, from whom I have heard
nothing for eighteen months : for. gentlemen, I
am a loyal Virginian, from the vicinity of Front
Royal. To your invaluable Bitters I owe the cer
tainty of life which has taken place of vague fears
to your Bitters will 1 owe tbe glorious privi
lege of again elasping to my bosom those who aro
dearest to me in life.
Very truly yours, Isaac Malose.
We fully concur iu the truth of the above state
ment. as we had despaired of seeing our comrade,
Mr. Malone. restored to health.
