IN the month of December, 1858, the under
signed for the first time offered for sale to
the public Dr. J. Beret , Dods Imperial Wine
Bitters, and in this short period they have given
such universal satisfaction to the many thou
sands of persons who have tried them that it is
now an established article. The amount of
bodily and mental misery arising simply from
neglect of small complaints is surprising, and
it is therefore of the utmost importance that a
.strictattention to the least and most 'trifling
bodily ailment should be had ; for diseases of
the body must invariably affect the mind.
The subscribers how only ask a trial of
:Dr. J. home Dods' Inwerial Wine Bitters!
Front all who have not used them. We chat
/enge'the world to produce their equal.
These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stcmiachs,
General Debility, and for Purifying and Em
ricking the Blood, are absolutely unsurpassed
by any other remedy on earth. To lie assured
°lbis, it is only necessary to make the trial.
The Wine itself is of a very superior quality,
being about one-third stronger the other wines;
warming and invigorating the whole system
from the head to the feet. As these bitters are
tonic and alterative in their character, so they
strengthen and invigorate the whole system
and give a fine tone and healthy action to all
its paits, by equalizing the circulation, re
moving obstructions, and producing a general
warmth. They are also excellent for ['trims
and Weakness pecolair to Females, where a
tonic is required to strengt hen ondbrace the sys
tem. No lady, who is subject to lassitude and
faintness, should be without them, as they are
revivifying in their action.
These Bitters will not only cure,' but prevent
disease, and in this respect are doubly valua
ble to the person who may use them.

Weak Lungs, Indigestion, Dyipepsia, Diseases
of the Nervous System, Paralysis, Piles,

Book-Keepers, Tailors, Seamstresses,Students,

As a Beverage, they ate wholesome, inno
cent, and delicious to the taste. They produce
all the exhilarating effects of Brandy or Wine,
without intoxicating 4 and.pre a valuable rem
edy for persons addicted to the use of exces 7
sive strong drink, and who - wish to refrain
(rain it. They are pure and entirely free from
the poisons contained in the . adulterated Wines
and Liquors with which the country Is flooded.
These Bitters not only cure, but prevent Dis
ease, and should be used by all who live in a
country where the water Is, bad; or where
Chills and Fevers arc prevalent. Being en
tirely innocent and harmless, they may be giv

FEMALES.
• The many certificates which have been ten
dered us, and the letters which we are daily
receiving, ure conclusive proof that amung th e
women these Bitters have given a satisfaction
which no others have ever done before. No
woman in the laud should be without them,
and those who once use them will not fail to
keep a supply.
Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters
Are prepared by an eminent and skillful
physician who has used them successfully in
his practice for the last twenty-five years. The
proprietor, before purchasing the exclusive
right to manufacture and sell Dr: J. Boyce
Dod's Celebrated Imperial Wine Bitters, had
them tested by two distinguished medical
practitioners, who pronounced them a valuable
remedy for disease.
Although the medical men of the country,
as a general thing, disapprove of Patent Med
icines, yet we do not believe that a respectable
Physician can be found in the United States,
acquainted with their medical properties, who
will not highly approve Dr. J. Bova DocPs
imperial Wine Bitters. • •
In all newly settled places where there is
'
always a large quantity of decaying timber
from which a poisonods miasma is created,
these bitters should be used every morning be
fore breakfast.
Dr. J. Boyce Dods' Imperial Wine Bitters
Are composed of a pure and unadulterated
Wine, combined with . Barberry; . Solomon's
Seal, Conthey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, SpAke
nerd, Chantomile Flowers, and Gentian.--
They are manufactured by Jr. Dods himself,
who is an experienced and successful Physi
cian, and hence should not be elassed among•
the quack nostrums which flood the country,
and against which the medical profession are
.60 justly prejudiced.

ne of the Hard Cases.
Eel tea and all other cures for drunk
dnness that human science has devised
have been tried in vain on Mr. Simeon
Tate, an old gentleman residing in the
northwestern precincts of our State.—
His wife had used some desperate reme
dies, such as steeping large quantities
of Jalap, aloes, ipeacacuanna, &c., in
Simeon's grog, but he still continued to
drink with undiminished relish, and the
consequences of this dosing system were
more troublesome to Mrs. Tate herself
than to Simeon, her husband. Being
dead drunk every afternoon, within half
an hour after he began his day's jelifica
tion, (so rapidly did he pour down the
liquor,) he never felt the slightest incon
venience or unpleasant sensation on ac
count of the medicine he had swallowed.
At last Mrs. Tate bethought herself of
another plan of makinga reformed drunk
ard of her lord. With the assistance of
her two brothers, she caused her husband
while in a state of insensibility, to be con
veyed to an appartnient provided for the
purpoie, in annother house, and a man
with whom Mr. 'Pate was acquainted
was employed to stay with him until he
recovered the use of his senses. This
attendant had received his instructions,
and was prepared to act a part which
was designed to frighten Mr. Tate out
of his bad habits.
It was near midnight when Simeon
awoke and found himself lying on a pine
table in a dim and strange apartment.—
Rais:ng himself on one elbow, he looked
around until his eyes rested on a man
seated by a stove and smoking a cigar.
" Hello I where am I?" said Simeon.
"In the Medical College," answered
the cigar smoker.
" What a' doing there ?"
" Going to be cut up."
"How comes that ?"
" Why you died yesterday while you
were drunk, and we bought your body to
make a 'natomy:"
" It's a lie ; I'm not dead."
"No matter. We bought your car
cass from your wife, who had a right to
sell it, for it's all the good she could
ever make of you. If you're tot dead,
that's not the fault' of the doctors, and
they'll cut you up, dead or•alive."
" You will do it, eh ?" asked the old
sot.
" Aye, to be sure we will—now di
rectly," was the answer.
" Well can't you let us have a little
suinthin' to drink before you begin ?"
Mrs. Tate and her brothers were hard
b 4 but out of sight, listening to the
dialogue. Simeon's last speech convin
ced them that the case was hopeless,
and it is not likely that any other at
tempt will be made to reform him.
NOBLE CONDUCT OF TWO LADIES:-AB
a proof that the loyal and patriotic blood
which coursed through the veins of our
revolutionary sires, is not dead, we may
instance an incident which took place
on our first arrival near the spot now
known as Camp Dayton. At about half
amile north of that place when the train
drew up and our scouts were sent out,
they were met by an elderly lady of the
name of Dayton, who at once volunteer
ed to pilot our scouts to the wherea
bouts of the rebels. After proceeding
as far as twenty-one bridge, she, intro
duced her two daughters, who, relieving
their mother, took up the lead at double
quick—never faltering for a moment, unl
til they reached New Creek. On the
route the men were cheered on and ex
cited to extra exertion, by the fearless,
noble and spirited conduct of the girls,
who continued the march throughout in
lead, requesting the men to throw down
their knapsacks and that they would take
care of them on their return—which they
did, safely housing them at their resi
dence. The result of that expedition is
already known to the regiment. The
camp at the twenty-first section was nam
ed Camp Dayton in honor of this family.

RELAXATIO.—That rest of the body
which succeeds to hard and industrious
toil, is not to be compared with the re
pose which the mind enjoys under sim
ular circumstances. The mind cannot
be always attentive—the heart cannot
support continual agitation ; and both
the one and the other require a time for
relaxation.
ALLIED TO ROYALTY.-By the marriage
of Count Von Leiningen with Miss

CONSTANT 1 4 111PLOY - MENT.—The man who
is obliged to be constantly employed to
earn the necessaries of life and support
his family, knows not the happiness he
prays for when be desires• wealth and
idleness. To be constantly busy is to
be always happy. Persons who have
suddenly acquired wealth, broken np
their active pursuits, and burn to live at
their ease, waste away and die in a very
short time. Thousands would have been
blessings to the world, and added to the
common stock of happiness, if they had
been content to remain in an humble
sphere, and earned every ] mouthful of
food that nourished their bodies. But,
no, fashion and wealth took possession
of them, and they were completely ruin
ed. They ran away from peace and pleas
ure, embracing a lingering death. Ye
who are sighing for the pomp and pleas
ures of life, beware ! You know not
what you wish. No situation, however
exalted; no wealth, however magnifi
cent; no honor, however glorious, can
yield you solid enjoyment while discon
tent larks in your bosom. The secret of
happiness lies in this—to be always con
tented with your lot, and never sigh for
the splendor of riches, or the magnifi
cence of wealth and power. Persons
•who are always busy and go cheerfully
to their daily tasks, are the least disturb
ed by the fluctuation of business, and at
night sleep with composure.
A HORSE SIXTY-NINE YEARS OLD.-
Wilkes' Spirit of the Times gives an
account of a small black Galoway,eleven
hands high, which attained to the great
est age of any horse of which we have
any record. lie was a resident of a
small village near Haddington, in Scot
land-. He was foaled An 1'720, and at
the time ()this death he was sixty nine
years old. A few weeks before his death
he trotted for several hours at the rate
of seven or eight miles an hour, and fed
well in his oats to the last. This is
more than four times the average age of
horses, throwing out of the account all
that die by accident, or from very hard
usage. A horse properly kept and car
ed for, will last 20 years very frequently,
but as they are generally kept but few
ever reach that age.
FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY.-A young man
named Pratt, about eighteen years of
age, and a Miss Venderworker, sixteen
years of age, who were uncle and niece,
eloped from Rome, N, Y., to New Ash
ford, last June, and were married. The
father of the girl, who had discovered
their whereabouts, arived at new Ash
ford Monday night, declaring that he
would have his daughter. She went up
stairs, and five minutes afterwards the
poor misguided couple were found with
their throats cut, and so closely clasped
in each other's arms that three men
could hardly seperate them. The wom
an was dead, but Pratt still lingers.

XA SOLDIER HIS OWN SURGEON.—A sol
dier stepped up to one of the officers of
the Fitth Maine Regiment as they were
leaving the field of battle, and requested
him to lend him his knife. An ordinary
pocket knife was given the soldier, when
he sat down at the side of the road, pull
ed up his pantaloons, and instantly.dug
a musket ball out of his leg, then jump
ed up and resumed his march.
HOPE.—Hope writes the poetry of a
boy, hat Memory that of a man. Man
looks forward with smiles, but backward
with sighs. Such is the wise providence
of God. The cup of life is sweetest at
the brim ; the flavor is improved as we
drink deeper, and the dregs are made
bitter that we may hot struggle when it
is taken from our lips.
II YDROPHOBLL-A German named Rae,
residing at Ekford, Canada, was bitten
by a neighbor's dog about two weeks
since. Ten days after the bite he was
attacked by hydrophobia, and died the
next day, after twenty-four hours of ter,
rible suffering.
A SOLDIER'S WIFE.—Mrs. Colonel
Richardson, of Michigan, is spending
her honeymoon in camp. The wedding
tok place just before the regiment left
home. She was in the late engagement,
distributing water and other comforts
to the Weary.
TILE RED,WHITE, AND BLUE.—The red
cheeks, the white teeth, and blue eyes
of a lovely girl are as good a flag as a
fine young soldier, in the battle of
life, need fight under.
iligr The human heart, like a well, if
utterly closed in from the outer world, is

MAJOR GENERAL PA.TTERSON.—Major
General Robert Patterson was born in
Ireland in 1792, and emigrated to this
country when quite young, taking up his
abode in Philadelphia. He received a
collegiate education, and early manifest
ed military inclinations. After gradu
ating at college he was appointed first
lieutenant in the 22d regiment of regu
lar U. S. infantry, appointed assistant
deputy quartermaster general (with the
rank of captain,) January 1813, and cap
tain-in-line, 1814, and hereon relinquish
ed rank in the staff. He retired from
the army in the same year upon the dis
bandonment of,his regiment.. He subse
quently followed the profession of the
law in his adopted city, and for many
years was connected with the military of
Philadelphia. In 1847, he was appoint
ed major general of volunteers, and pro
ceeded to Mexico, and assumed the com
mand of his division. He was actively
engaged in the siege of Vera Cruz, but
shortly afterwards his health failed, and
he returned to the United States, and
was therefore unable to take part in the
well-contested battles in the upper part
of Mexico, which crowned the American
arms with glory and conquered peace,
Gen, Patterson's army in Virginia was
composed of three months' men. Their
time has expired and many of them have
returned home. Gen. Banks is now or
dered to the head of this column of the
armi, which has been reinforced by reg
iments enlisted for the war.
THE HEALTH OF THE POPE.-A Vienna
letter of the 19th, in the Augsburg Ga
zette, has the following :—"rhere have
been so many reports on the state of the
Pope's health that it is high time to
give the public some authentic informa
tion. The truth is that his llolinnss is
dropsical. The symtoms did not appear
dangerous till quite recently, when be
began to suffer from vertigo and sanguin
eons congestions. As these attacks come
on of late at short intervals, and the
dropsy prevents his Holiness from taking
his usual walks, they are consideied rath
er alarming. The pope himself does not
think his disease at all dangerous ; his
mind retains all its firmness, and he con
fidently expects to outlive his preseat
troubles."
Flow TO LIVE WELL.—Good meals at
moderate intervals, and the stomach
left to rest betwen. Some interval—an
active exercise is the best—betwen
books and food. A. leisure hour for din
ner, and cheerful conversation after it.
A short nap for those who need or like
it after dinner. Occupation light in the
evening—literature or correspondence,
with more or less social intercourse,
music or other recreation. These are
each and all highly ,desirable ; but the
most indispensable of all is strenuous
and vaXous exercise.
.REVIVAL ON THE GREAT EASTERN.-A
passenger in the Great Eastern, on her
last trip, has stated at. the Fulton-street
Noon day Prayer meeting, that they had
a revival on board ; that the ship was
filled with soldiers ; that prayer-meet
ings of the most solemn and affecting
character had been held daily during the
voyage, and that much good had appar
ently been accomplished.
BULL Rux.—This stream, which has
become historical, is a mere rivulet, dry
in many places, but containing from four
to six feet of water in the channel after
heavy rains. It extends for about six
miles north, and south, and is crossed by
the Manassas railroad. The confederate
battery which made such havoc among
our troops is on the east side of the run,
situated on a slight eminence in a ravine.
THE REGIMENT Or CAPTAIN MONTOGE
ERY.—The man who figured so conspic
uously during the border-ruffian troubles
in Kansas, has finally been mustered in
to service. It is known as . the Third
Volunteer Regiment of . Kinsa§, and is
composed of two companies of cavalry,
one company of artillery, and four of in
fantry. A nephew of Louis Kossuth is
the adjutant,
MAJOR. SLF.MMER.-It is stated that the
Douglas Brigade, Illinois, has invited
the gallant Major Slemmer to become
its commander, and that he consented if
the proposal meets the approbation of
the United States Government.
WAn elderly gentleman being asked
to describe the present rising generation,
replied ; "I don't know what I can say
of them, excepting that the old proverb
mighX..well be applied to them-Fast
come, fast go."

JOURNEYMEN AND APPRENTICES.—There
is a list of rules extant which were
drawn up for the regulation of the ser
vants of Queen Elizabeth. For most
offences a fine of one penny was imposed.
One crime, however, was visited with
the penalty of fourpence, a great sum in
an age when servants' wages were only
a few shillingd a year. l his serious fine
of fourpence was exacted of every man
who should utter an oath or any inde
cent word in the hearing of a boy. A
rule like this might well be enforced in
every shop and store where men and
boys work together ; and if a fine is
deemed improper, the public opinion of
the shop should enforce the rule. Jour.
neymen owe duties to apprentices, and
clerks to errand-boys. If men are will
ing to corrupt one another, they should,
at least, afford a decent example to the
young. A man, indeed, should regard
himself as a kind of exemplar to all the
boys in the world, and behave as such in
the presence of boys.
PRINCE NAPOLEON TAXES TO A BOUR
BON.—The Prince Napoleon visited the
camps on Staten Island, on Sunday week
and one of the sentries not knowing who
he was, refused him admittance within
the lines. The Prince, however, when
he found his rank of no avail, tried an
other expedient—a masonic signal ; this
was answered by an officer, and the vis
itor was of course admitted. He com
plimented the sentenal on his strict ob
servance of his duty, for he remembered
that he was the nephew of the greatest
of soldiers. Entering the tents he tast
ed a bottle of liquor owned by one of the
privates; in fact , he not only tasted,
but appeared to relish the drought.—
" What is it ?" said he. " Old Bour
bon, sir," said he. " Old Bourbon, in
deed I was the Princes remark—" 1 did
not think I would like anything of that
name so well."
r John C. Heenan has forwarded a
challenge to England to fight Mace;
Hurst, King or any other man in Eng
land, for the sum of $lO,OOO. It is also
stated that Heenan's offer embraces sev
eral other points, viz : That he (Heenan)
will stake $lO,OOO to $B,OOO if Mace will
come to this country and fight in Cana
da : he will give Mace $lOOO to defray
his expenses here ; or the Boy will take
$lO,OOO to $B,OOO and fight in England,
if the Champion of England will pay
Heenan $lOOO to defray his expensis to
that country.
lir An ambulance is a light carriage,
the body being mounted upon two
wheels and supported by very elastic,
light springs. It is a little over six feet
in length. There are cots for two inside,
with beds, head pillows, &c. The top is
covered with black oil-cloth, but the
body and running•gears, are painted red.
The ambulance is intended for one horse,
with a seat for the driver in front, and
being very light though very strongly
built, can be driven along very rapidly
without injury to the wounded.
lir A convict in the State' Prison at
Auburn, has been detected in the act of
manufacturing coin in his cell. When
he was arrested in the prison, a search
of his trunk revealed the existence of a
false bottom, under which was found a
complete set of burglar's tools, which
he had made during his imprisonment.

lir McClellan was selected by Jeff

THE MIDNIGHT MARCH,
NO. 3.
So we marched till night was gone
And the heavens were blessed with dawn;
But History, with immortal hand,
Must yet record how firm and grand

Under midnight's solemn arch,
While from many a beau the starch

Scouts out on either flank,
Searching for a softer plank,
Looking with their hungry eyes
For hot muffins, cakes and pies,
Finding none to their surprise ;
" All the Seventh t"
Every soldier's spindle limb,
In the black night looked grim,
And each dense thicket's shade
Seemed a tub of lemonade,
Yet nary soldier was afraid,
"In the Seventh
Hop, skip, jump and bob,.
Gaily went each dandy snob ;
Upon up -torn railroad tracks"
Scornfully they turned their backs,
Nerves high strung with Schiedam
schnapps,
" Halt! rest! along the.line
Down every man supine"
Upon his blanket lay,
And boldly slept and snored away,
'Till broke once more the light of day
"On the Seventh!"
"Tho' the dark night was serene,"
Nary foeman's form was seen;
Tho' the "flies they buzzed around ,"
Every hero slept so sound,
All the rebels " bit the, ground ; "
" Gallant Seventh!"
So we slept 'till early dawn,
And all our foes were dead, or gone ;
But History, with immortal hand,
Shall • blow' how our devoted band
Slept and snored in Maryland,
, Bloody Seventh!
P. S
Now safe at home, so prompt to ‘itime,"
With haughty smile and mein sublime,
Each kero paces all the day
The dollar side of dear Broadway,
With blood (or mud) stained trowsers gay,

In the wet gravel lay,
Hugging with delight the clay,
Longing for the light of day
On the Seventh
Though the dark night was serene,
Never foeman's form was seen ;
Though like flies they buzzed around',
Haunting every shady ground,
Fleeing at the slighest sound
From the Seventh
BY G. OLD PY.D N.
"Marched the Seventh !"
