[From the Richmond Whig.} ‘The Charleston Courier makes & timely sug- gestion in recommending the attention of our government to the naturalization and cultiva- tion of Calisaya, for the preservation of the health ofoursoldiers. This articlehas a pecne liar effect upon the liver, and guards the sys- tem against disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is said that the grea: success of the Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previ- ous toour unhappy difficulties was found in most Southern homes, was owing to theextract of Calisaya Bark which it contained as one of its principal ingredients.—« In confirmation of this, we have heard one of our most distin- guished physicians remark, that whenever he felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or atmos- pheric causes, he invariably relieved himsel/ by Plantation Bitters. Now that these Bitters cannot be obtained, a substitute should be pr3- pared. We understand our government has opened negotiations with Dr. Drake, througaa secret agent, but with what truth we donot know.” * * * * * * # ‘We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmond Whig ‘orits remembrance of “Auld\Lang Syne,” but we can assure “Our Government” that the Plantation Bitters are not for sale toany ‘secret agents,” North or South. There is probably several other things that “Our Government?’ will yet want. ‘We know that we haye the best and most popular medicine in the world. We are not afraid to show what it is composed of. Physicians are compelled to recommend it, CaisayA Bark has been celebrated for over two hundredyears, and was sold during the reign of Louis XVI, King of France, for the enormous price of its own weight in silver. It is remarkable for Dyspepsia, Fevers, Weakness, Constipation, &c. CascakILLa Barx.—For Diarrhea, Colic, and diseases of the stomach and bowels. DANDELION.—F or Inflammation of the Loing and Dropsical Affections. CuamMoMILE FLOWERS.—For enfeebled di-. gestion. LavENDER FLowERs.—Aromatic, stimulant and tonic—highly invigorating in neryous de- bility. WINTERGREEN.—For Scrofula, Rheumat- ism, &c. ANISE.—An aromatic carminatiye; creating flesh, muscle and milk; much used by mothers nursing. Also, clove-buds, orange, caraway, corian- der, snake-root, &c. §.—T.—1960_X. Another wonderful ingredient, of Spanish origin, imparting beauty to the complexion and brilliancy to the mind, 1s yet unknown to the commerce of the world, and we withhold its name for the present.

WasHINGTON, July 28.—[Associated Press Dispatch.|—All the available rolling stock of the Virginia railrood was concentrated at Cul- peper, and itis generally supposed that Lee ‘Was making all possible haste for Richmond, but General Buford thinks the rebels intend to stand on the south side of the Rapidan. Ewell’s wagon trains, with a strong guard, went couth from Strausburg by way of Staun- ton to avoid capture by our cavairy, which has during the entire late campaign signalived it~ self by adegree of energy never before sur- paesed. Rebel prisoners of intelligence unite in say- ing our cayalry has done more to defeat Lee’s blows than any other arm of the service, Sta- art's legions now fear to encounter it, at ull events, do not court an encounter. Priconers and refugees are unanimous in the statement that the morule ef the rebel army in Virginia is broken, aud that gr despondency precaie in all Southern circles, particularly inthe army. Their defeats in the Southwest, at Gettysburg and Morris Isiand have at last convinced the rebel soldiers of their yuinera- bility. Further that Lee's plans, supported by the flower of the Southern troops, haying proved failures bo the energy of Gen. Meade and the brayery and endurauce of the army of the Potomac, will necessitate a reconstruction of the rebelarmy of Virginia, while the defec- tion of Joe Johnston and his retusel to obey Jeff Davis’ orders will compel reconstruction of the rebel army of the Southwest. Guerrillas, under Moseby, White and others, infest our rear, and pick upand kullall who straggle behind. INVASION OF KENTUCKY. Attack of our Treops at Richmond, Ky.— Martis! Law Declared at Lexington. CINCINNATI, July 28.—A special dispatch to the Commercial, frem Lexington, Ky., says: The rebels attacked our forces this morning at Richmond. consisting of a small detach- ment uncer Col Sanders. After an hour’s severe fighting our troops were compelled to fall back to the Kentucky river, badly cut up. The rebel force is estimated at 2,500 men and sixguns. They are supposed to be theadvance of Bragg’s srmy. At the latest advices our troops had fallen back within five miles of Lexington, the ene- so elesely following. Martial jaw has been proclaimed in Lexing- ton, and all the able bodied citizens between 1S and 45 ordered to report for duty. It is thought thatthe city can be held ageinst the rebel force of over 15,000, moving in a northerly direction via Crab Orchard. The Gazette’s Lexington dispatch says the excitement has subsided.

HambunG, Evrorz, July 15.—Editor of Chronicle - Sir—The second day of the great ex- hibition bas just closed. It was the largest show of stock of modern times, four thonsand entries being made. Mr. Campbell, of Vermont, takes three premiums on his sheep, two of the rst class. There were seventeen hundred en- tries of sheep. McCormick thrashes all the nations and walks off with the golden medal. Onr glorious flag and coat of arms is seen all about us, surrounded by @ luyal pouple. More than filty thousand people are inside of the grounds to-day. Forty thousand thalers were taken at the gates yesterday. May our glorious army be as successful in thrashing the rebels as Campbell, McCormick, and other Americans are in competing with the nations here assembled. Iregret that our people have taken so little interestin this exhibition. Neyer, aever was there such an opening for American skill and industry. We have nota thousand articles on exhibition, and but one of stock. JosErH A. Weicst, U.S. Commissioner. From Fortress Monroe. MORE, July 28.—The steamer Adelaide, Captain Cannon, came into port at an early hour this morning trom Old Point, bringing up a number of offieers of the army and nayy. The Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State, son and son-in-law, and a daughter and son of President Lineoin came down trom Washing- ton on Sunday in the steamer Ella, Capt. Waal. Yesterday morning they visited Admiral Lee on board the flagship Minnesota, and were re- ceived with the usual salute. After spending a couple of hours there they preceeded to the Roanoke, and afterward to Fortress Monroe, the water battery firing a sa- lute of fifteen guns. Yesterday the schooner Benjamin F. Butler, from Boston, anchored at one of the wharves with a load of hay, butthe keen custom house officers suspected something else on board be- sides hay, and upon instituting a search discov- ered 1.000 bottles of whisky and other liquors, which bad teen packed very carefally in thirty barrels. The entire lot was confiscated. The prize-steamer Planter, three and a half days from Port Royal, putinto Hampton Roads, lust Friday, asreported. She wasshortof fuel and is bound for New York. The boat is unfit tor sea, and her boilers are sadly out of repair. She has a cargo of 694 bales ef cotton and 125 barreis ofturpentine. The wind was unfayor- able nearly her whole passage. She spoke the sloop-of-war Iroquois off Frying Pan shoals, and the schr. Matthew Vassar off Cape Hatter- as. The Planter leaves for New Yorkon Wed- nesday. She got aground near Craney Island, hence the delay of this repurt. Another Piracy. PHILADELPHIA, July 27._The ship George Griswold, Lunt, from London, which had been boarded py the pirate Georgia, and bonded tor $100,000, arrived at this port te-day. She brought home a portion of the officers and crews of the ship Jabez Snow and bark Ama- zonian, which were captured and burned by the Alabama, in lat. 14.25 S,, long.31.32W.

In proportion as this sense fuils us, we are reduced to helplessness. If entirely destitute of sight, how slow would be our progress in knowledge. and how limited our sphere of action and use- fulness. Endowed with it, the universe be- comes & new creation, clothed with beanty and diversified by that infinite variety which never . fails to attract the mind and heart. ~ For several months past this has been a practical subject to us. An inflamed condition of the eyelids communicating itselt to the pupil, rendered the discharge of daily duties notonly painful but dangerous. Atiributing it to the effect of. a cold, we endured it through the spring, with the hope that. with the return of warm weather it would entirely disappear. Butin this we were doomed to disappointment. Summer returned but notour wonted sight What might have been the rocult either of further neglect treatment, we cannot say. Stating our case to a friend, he assured us that asimilaronein hisown familyhad recentlybeen treated with entire success by Dr. Von Eisen- berg of this city. Satisfying ourselyes by more particular inquiries that the doctor is no empiric, but a scientific ocnlist and aurist, we concluded to seek the benefits of his treatment which we have now reason to acknowledge as very great. Though but afew weeks under his care, the appearance of our eyes has totaily changed. The pupil is now full and clear, and thedids are entirely free trom inflammation. The doctor says that the optic nerve has been weakened, and the retina assumeda chrenic in- flammatory state, affecting more or less all the other tissues, and threatening if neglected, to end in Amaurosis Opthalmitis, we believe, is the term which oculists apply to eyes affected as were ours. Having obtained the much-desired relief, we take great pleasure in aknowledgia our indebtedness to the talent of Dr. Von Eisen- berg, and of calling to it the attention of others who may besnuffering froma similar or even worse condition of their eyes. It is said that Providence provides an antidote for every bane. Itis certain thatthe eye is, in these times, subject to severer trials than formerly. Let us be thankful, then, that rapidly as increase the tendencies which destroy the organ of vision, the progress of science keeps pace with these tendencies, if notin adyanee of them.—New York Christian Times. or of incompetent The Rebels Taking Comfort Over the Loss of the Mississippi. [From the Richmond Enquirer, July 23.) The importance of a military command of the Haha sitet bas always been ex- aggerated by both parties tothe war. Provided only that the inhabitants of the country on either side of the river remain leyal to the South, free gunboat navigation of its channel will be ot no commercial value to the enemy. Their reliance in this matter is upon the cor- ruptibility of the planter ; and it must be con- fessed with sorrow, that there has been too much encouragement of their hopes in this re- gard. The bueiness of the cotton planter has a strong tendency to make him a sordid wretch. His sole thought is upon increasing his crops, and increasing by their sales his stores of gold. Before the war he had but two ideas and two aspirations, viz: to make as many thousands ot bales and of dollars as possible, during eight months in the year, and then to luxuriate in a Northern trip of immense. extravagance and nabob pretension during four months of hotel life. To make money at home and spend it among the Yankees was the business of the cotton planter from the Alpha to the Omega. This is the class of people along the Mississipp: whom the Yankees, with some reason, think they have subjugated, whom they have’ angled for with the golden hook, and by whose interested aid they expect to command its channel for the purposes of commerce. But they will be disappointed If the planters themselves are sordid, corruptible and iit ma- terial for subjects to Yankee dominion, their sons, the young men of the South, are not, nor New York, daly 28.—The steamer Star of | are the great body of the Southern people, who ‘i the South arrived this evening, from Charles- “ton bar on the 2jth inst.
