jESmj:irijJy of Americuis Soldiers. . It is pleasant to meet occasionally with inci dents which relieve war of some of. its horrors, and show the better traits of the American soldier in a strong light. The following extract from a letter written by Capt. Loeser, and published in a late number of the Reading Journal, is an inter esting evidence of the humanity of our volunteers to a conquered enemy. u One poor fellow, when the line halted, (ho was carrying a large bundle) seated himself upon the ground, and actually ate the grass, with seeming pleasure. One of the soldiers then gave bun some water; he drank largely, and by motions thanked him, and cturned again to the grass. Gen. Worth just -"Own passings stopped and ordered one of the men. who happened lo have some crackers with l.im, to give the poor fellow some. This was done; lhe mart ate, mete like a maniac than a Christian, when lie had finished, he fell upon his U&cs and thanked him Some one who spoke Spanish, asliod him when he had last eaten ; he said that for '5 -days nothing, not even water, had passed ins lips; and J too had the honor of dis covering the aqueduct leading into the city, and Gen. Worth had it cut off. Another and: more affecting case occurred, a few moments after as 1 was walking down toward the city. A quite well dressed Spaniard came up to one of our soldiers who was standing guard over the arms that the Mexicans had stacked, eating a small piece of cracker, and offered him 50 cents for it. The soldier refused his money but gave hiin a whole cracker, (you must understand that a soldier's cracker is about 5 inches square.) The man thanked him and turned again towards the city, when there came running to him three little hoys and a girl, clapping their little hands in joy. The father divided the cracker with his little ones into four pieces, (this occurred not more than 30 lett from the soldier,) and turned again to get an cther. The guard was looking on, and sticking l,is musket into the ground left his post to meet him, (this act under ordinary circumstances, is punishable with death,) and gave him another. The man put his hand into his pocket and offered him four or five dollars in silver; this he still re fused, and while they were thus engaged the little ones, again came up, and the soldier was shaking hands with them.when into the party came their mo ther, with a little infant in her arms. The little ones actually commenced dividing Aefrsmall por tion of probably two days food, with their mother. The scene was too romantic and affecting for ma ny .a stout Yankee heart standing by, particularly our hero; with his face twisted into every possible shape except that of laughing, the soldier emptied the contents of his haversack upon the ground in their midst, and broke away, (spite of the man's endeavors to retain him, while he thanked him,) wiping his eyes with his coat sleeve, more like a - STATEMENT Published in pursuance of the 1 1th section of an Act. of Assembly, passed June 27th A.

Wright : 1 have often wished to inform you of the benefits derived from the use of your Indian Vegetable Pills, not for the purpose of gratifying you, who are a stranger to me, but with the hope that other fellow beings, who might be similarly afflicted, may be induced to fly to the same resort. In the Fall of 1S41, 1 was persuaded to use your Pills ; before I had used one box I felt encouraged lo continue, and did continue, until I had used 12 boxes, having stopped at intervals and commenced again. The result was, that in the Spring follow ing T left the sic: bed and room lo which I had been entire! confined for eight years, during which long period I had recourse to the skill of the best physicians that could be obtained, and who did all in their power; but all their efforts were in vain. Indeed, I never derived the least benefit. My complaint was originally Rheumatic, which was afterwards aggravated by a cold. The two combined became seated in my whole system. I became helpless; my legs and arms were of no use to me, during that long lime, in which I have suf fered beyond my power to describe, and if I were to attempt description, it might appear to others an exaggeration. Nor will I attempt to tell you how much money I paid the doctors. I may mention that in these eight years I did not take more food than a healthy man would use in four months. The eating of victuals had much the effect the swallowing of a burning coal might have. I Avill not be too lengthy, but conclude by say ing that old age is the only hindrance to perform ing labor. My appetite has been ever since unin terruptedly good, and I enjoy my night rest fully. 1 live in Moore township, Northampton county, Pa.; am a farmer; am 74 years of age; and though you are unknown to me, I conceive you the great est benefactor the earth ever afforded me.

It is Written In the Book of Nature and Common Sense, that the natural vegetable productions of every country are, if properly applied, are amply sufficient for the cure ot every malady incident to each peculiar climate. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills, of the North American College of Health, are com posed of plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil, and are therefore better adapted to our constitutions than medicines concocted from for eign Drugs, however well they may be compound ed; and as they are founded upon the principle that the human body is in truth Subject to but One Disease, viz : corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures this disease on Natural Principles by oleansing and purifying the body; it will be man ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex hausted a perseverance in their use, according to directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease of every name from the body. When we wish to restore a swamp or morass to fertility, we drain it of the superabundant waters ; in like manner if we wish to restore the body to health, we must cleanse it of impurity. Wrights Indian V egetable Pills will be found one of the best, if not the very best medicine in the loorld for carrying out this Grand Purifying Principle, because they expel from the body all morbid and corrupt humors, the cause of disease, in an easy and natural manner ; and while they every day Give Ease and Pleasure, disease of every name is rapidly driven from the body.
