The arrangement of our corps—the everlooking position of the commanding General—the send- ing into action the right and the left—the closing up of the center, and final success—excites bewildering admiration, and carries the mind to the great fields of Austerlitz and Wagaam, fought by Napoleon. Of all this I have spoken. The heart history of such a conflict, purchased by the life and blood of twenty thousand men, must be found in the hospitals. War has its glories—but it has its ten thousand demons in these human tortures, that make the eye-balls ache—the heart bleed—the lips palsy, and the brain reel. The sight is at first positively unen- durable. The life blood of some is still trick- ling away in silent calmness—while the dis- severed limbs and maniac brain of others give rise to sounds God grant I may not again wit- ness. But ye mothers who now seek a son—or wife ahusband—or sister a brother—or sons a father— know and be consoled that even the hand of mercy is watchful, and better care is bestowéd upon your loved one than might at first seem possible. . It was in the hospital where rested the gallant Hooker, that I learned the history i of those mythical words so often seen and so ; little understood, “S. T.—1S60—X." Anything | alleviating the sufferings and saving the liv: of our soldiers is a national blessing. I wii nessed some astonishing results from this article. It is well known jhe effect of burnt gunpow- der and excitement is thirst, which, added to the loss of blood in the wounded, creates the necessity of a reviving stimulant. “In this par- tieular hospital, the physicians were allowing | their patients to drink Plantation Bitters, other- wise called S. T.—1s60—X, and although the wounded are most numerous here—this division having opened the fight at 5 in the morning— the men were mostly composed, and there was but very little fainting. The article acts upon the stomach and neryes in a most incompre- hensible mannef, superior to brandy, and with- out subsequent stupifying reaction. It origin- ated in the West Indies, containing calisaye bark, winter green, lavender, «nise, clove buds orange, snake root, &c.. preseryed in St. Croix Rum—the S. T.—1s60—X being a secret i dient, not yet revealed to the pub principally recommended for want of appetite, disordered liver, intermittent fevers, stomachie difficulties, &c. I understand it was somewhat known in the Southern States previous to the war, and it appears an agent of Jefierson Dayis recently applied to the proprietors for the privilege to make it for hospital purposes during the war, to which they made the fol- lowing reply New York, Jan. 16, 1562, Mr. — . Agent of, ete.: Dear Sir: In reply to your communication, offering us ‘Fifty thousand dollars for the re- cipe and right to make the Plantation Bitters for hospital purposes during the war,” we beg to say your price is a liberal oue, considering it would cost us nothing to comply, and that other- wise we can derive no revenue from the South- ern States; but, sir, our duties to our Govern- ment aud our ideas of consistency would mot allow us toentertain it, although it might please us to assuage the sufferings of your mi<guided followers. We remain, very respectfinlly yours, P.H. Drake & Co. These gentlemen give the history of certain megredients of their article for over two hun- dred years—showing that through all changes of the medical profession and its practitioners, strength, composure and checrfulness ha ye been derived from these sources. Dr. Woods, in the Washington hospitals, informed me that he had been unable to procure an hour's sleep in one patient for nearly two weeks, and he was fast sinking and crazy, until the Plantation Bitters came tohis knowledge, when one day’s trial gave him anight’s rest, and he was now fast recovering. I am surprised our Government has not equalled Jefferson Dayis in energy, and adopted this invaluable article in all our hos- pitals. Asa lay member, I can bear witness it is “ good to take,” and affords more energy and life than anything Leyer tried. Success to the Plantation Bitters. But I have digressed. In my next I shall speak of gathering in the wounded, burying the dead, &e. (se 25-eolm) B. s.-T.-18ssco.-=. DRAKE'S PLANTATION BITTERS. They purify, strengthen, and inyigorate.

Al- though, owing to the distance and to the sea- eon, some weeks must still elapse before the landing in Mexico and commencement of the campaign, the scale of the preparations begins to increase the attention grant-d to it here. In the press, La France, especially, seems disposed to allot to it a large share of space, and to exalt, if not to exaggerate, its imporfance. You — lately pend of here current of @ su intention on Tt of the tO baer Mexico for shnexation to A long articte in La Napoleo: the Confederate States. France tends to a different conclusion, and says that the only desire of the French Govern- ment is to ree a serious and stable power orga- nized tu that magnificent country, ant that, by helpitig the Mexicans to’ do this, it reckons oh obtaining, besides other desirdble résults enumerated, thatof opposing an insurmotst- able obstacle to the attempts the Anglo- Ameri- cans might stillbe disposed to make on these Tick: districts. That ‘tacle will be found, thinks La Franee, in the establishment of a strong and reepected Government in Mexico: but may be permitted to doubt whether such 2 Goyernment can never be formed there tinless it be sustained for a very long period by the eae of French bayonets. A contemplated long occupation has been among the rumors current within the Jast day or two. La France is of opinion that if the Central American republics are not rescued from the state of chronic anarchy in which they have so Jong writhed and struggled, they will, sooner or later, fail an easy prey to the great contedé- rations of North America; and it further opines —what is not, wider the present cireumstinces Oi ie disumited Siate, quite evident—th: eguilibrium of the world would thereby be bro- ken.” ‘This is rather a bold conclusion, but La “rance is addicted to extreme views, as will be nn by the following concluding paragraph of the article referred to:—In our opinion, the Nexican expedition, contemplated from this point of view, is as important as those of the Crimea and Italy. To the Crimea we went to help Turkey to defend her threatened indepen- dence, and to make Russia. recede from her policy of invasion; we went to Italy to restore a grent people to itself and deliver the penin- sula irom Austrian influence and invasion; we £0 to Mexico to enfranchise a nation worthy of universal sympathy, which groans under the mo: lious tyranuy; and at the same time, by the inizition of a stable government, placed under our powerful ., we say to North erica, “You shall go no er. Even in the midst of their present dixasirous strife and hourly increasing difficnities, the Americans can afford to smile at this last as- sumption. The truth is that we heartily wish we had not gone inte Unis Mexican affair: but since we haye done so we must put the best face on it we can, and try to persuade people that itis a very good business, very glorious and meritorious, and so forth; tor has not France the writer in the j the sublime pi Hlege and mission, she accomplishes serves, directly or indirectly, the cause of progress and civi- lization?” Besides this rather gas same paper has a feuillefon on the climate of Mexico, and some paragraphs of news, from which it would appear that Juarez refuses to ratify the treaty concluded in April between Prim and the Mexican Minister of Finance, and that he has moreover ordered vexatious measures to be taken against the Spanish residents in Mexico, whose situation is said to be worse than befere the intervention, i sequence of which the S) ish Government has decided to modify its policy, and draw to- ards France with the object of constituting a serious and durable government in Mexico. Ins r probable opportunities of La erned, this last piece of infur- mation ought tw be correct. The marked atten- tion and f vorshown by that paper to the Mex- jean ex ition,’ just at the moigent when tBe Emperor's thoughts are known to be much engrossed by it, as confirmation strong of what is here reported and believed as to a principal influence that patronizes and weighs with the ccnductors of La France. The long standing and very cordial relations of a distinguished lady with prominent members of the Almonte party are no secret to anybody, and there can be no doubt that the Mexican expediuon has been encouraged and promoted by the same but puissant hand which does its utmost to maintain French guard around the sacred person of the Sovereign Pon ———+«+e+ Reconnoissance Across the Potomac on Monday.
