DRAKE & Co.—frallemen: I | have been a great sufferer from Dyspepsit for | three or four years. I have tried many, if not all, the remedies recommended for its cure. Instead of relief I became worse, had to aban- don my profession, and suffered greatly from everything Late. My mind was much affected, ct and gloomy. Abort three months ago I tried the Plantation Bitters. They almost immediately benefitted me. I continued their use, and to my great joy, I am nearly a well man. I have recommended them in several cases, and, as far 2: with signal benefit. Iam, very respectfully yours, ; “Rey. J. 5. Catiuonn.” S—T—1560—X. Tha: you may be your own judge of the effi- cacy of these celebrated Bitters, we submit a partial forinula of the articles of which they are composed. ST. CROIX RUM. The tonic properties of pure St. Croix Rum are well known, and it has long been recom- mended by plysicians..1t is manufactured from the Sugar Cane Piant, and that we use, is Selected with great care trom the estates of a few planters in the interior of that island, CALISAYA, OR KING'S BARK, was unknown to civilization until the middle of the seventeenth century. The natives of Pern are generally supposed to have been long preyiously acquainted with ils most wonder. ful wedicinal qualiti Humboldt mikes fa- vorable mention of the febrifuge qualities of this article as an antidote to Fever AND AGUE, Intermitient and Melarious freers, in his exten- sive South American travels. Countess, wife of the Viceroy of Pern, baving in her own person experienced the ben- eficial effects of the bark, is s@id, on her return to Spain, in the year 161, to have first intro- duced this remedy into Europe. After its in- treduction it was distributed and sold by the Jesuits, who are said to have obtained for it the. exormous sum of its weight in silver. From this circumstance it was called Jesutt’s Pow- DER, A title Which it retained many years. In 1658, we are_told that an Englishman by the naff of Sir John Talbot employed it with great success in France, in the treatment of Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Nervons Affections, Less of Appetite, Weakness and Debility, Palpita- uaen of the Heart, Diarrhcea, &c, &c., under the mame of English Powders: at length, in the year 1679, he sold the secret of its origin and ‘preparation to Louis X1V., whom it was divulged. It is now a standard remedy, and is ert im the preparation, of the Plantation itters. . CASCARILLA BARK is another important ingredient. It is employed as a gentle stimulant and tonic, in Dyspepsia, Chronic Di Colic, Dysentery, and dis- eases of the stomach and bowels. DANDELION is used for inflammation of the loins and spleen, in cases of bilary secretions and dropsical affec- tiens, dependent upon obstructions ef the ab- dominal viscera, and derangement of the diges- lve organs generally. CHAMOMILE FLOWERS fra for enfeebled digestion and want of appe- ite. WINTERGREEN, is a medicinal plant of very great efficiency, and is especially y:duable in Scrofula, Rheuma- tiem, aud Nefretic affections. ANISE, &n aromatic carminative, creating flesh, muscle and milk. Much used in nursing. S—T—1560—xX Another ingredient ef remarkable and won- €erful virtues, used im the preparation of these Bitters—is a native of Brazil and as known tothe comimerce.of the world. A Span- ish_ywriter says: * * * * * “administered with St. Croix rum, it never fails to relieve Ner- veut bemor, Wakefulaees, disturbed sleep, ke; and that it is used with great effect by the Bra- whan, Spanish and Perwyian ladies to height. en their color and beauty.

Fort Morgan, the main defense of Mobile, is judiciously situated on the right bank of the channel, and mounts about one hundred guns.

Ifthe plan of taking Mobile be the same as that carned ont sosuccesefully at New Orleans by Admiral Farragut in running by the forts, cutting eff supplies, and forcing them to sur- render, we have little doubt that we shall have as nae success at Mobile as we could possibly esire. : Fort Gaines, the second work of defence for Mobile, is situated on Danphin’s Island, mounts fitty guns, and can direet an excellent and for- midable cross-fire with Fort Morgan.

To ascertain the fact, the steam frigate Susquehanna, Commodore Hitehceck, Ventured towards the fort, and received a number of leaden messengers. It wis unnecessary, of course, to investigate the matter any further. The com- mancer of the gunboat Winona, in order to know a certainty the truth of the rumors, ven- tured im, an i asimilar reception to that tendered to the Susquehanna, This was enough io convince any one tat the garrison still existed.

To ren- Get this available, it was necessary to protect over 300 miles o railroad, over Which every pound of these supplics had to be transported. jupediments which were presented to the retention of the command of the road are well | known and appeared insuperable. Every care which prudence could suggest was exercised: stockades were built and guards stationed at the places most liable to attack, but they were hot able to resist the cavalry dashes of the re- bels, who were in many cases aided by the spmpathies of the local residents. In the mean- while the Contederato eouscription aet had been rigidly enforced, and a large army und: Gen. Bracg was massed near Chattanooga, the definite object of which was long unknown. Week aiter week the utmost vigilance was ed over the enemy at Dechard, McMiun- he Seguatchee before it was uredly ascertained where he intended to strike his blow. At first it was thought that Nashville was the eoveted goal, but move. ments soon made it evident that the capital of Tennessee was not the projected poiut of attack. The untiring oped of Gen, Buell was event- nally rewarded by the interception of dispatches to Gen. Bragg, which proved conclusi that Louisville was the point toward which the | rebel strategy wis directed. This was to be fected by forced marches without supplies, sub- | sisting on the country, and reaching our city in its Lees een! condition, to destroy the ¢ wround the falls of the Ohio, to confteca n the stores both public and private, found bere, and to possess the city wider the impression that the T dislodge the rebels, for fear of injuring the city by a bombardment.
