This articlehas a pecn- Nar effect upon the liver, and guarde tho sys- tem againet disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is said that the greas sncress of the Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previ- ous toour unhappy difficulties was found tn moet Sonthern homes, was owing tothe extract. of Ualisaya Bark which it contained as one of its principal ingredients.—“ In confirmation of thie, we have heard one of our most distin- guished physiciane remark, that whenever he felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or atmos- pheric causes, he invariably relieved himself by Plantation Bitters. Now that these Hitters cannot be obtained, a substitute should be pre- pared. We understand onr government has opened negotiations with Dr. Drake, througha secret agent, but with what trnth we do mot know.” > Kos * We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmond Whig forite remembrance of “Auld Lang Syne,” but we can aesure “Our Government” that the Plantation Bitters are not for sale toany ‘secret agents, North or South. There fs probably severs) other things that “Our Government” will yet want. We know that we have the beet and most popular medicine in the world. Wo are not afraid to show what it ie compo-ed of. Physicians are compelled to recommend it.

Lee's army of very little importance has been received beyond general movements rendered necessary by those of Meade’s army. “The enemy in some force reoccupy S:afford Heights. “On Tuesday last two monitors and three gunboats appeared in James river, and ad- vanced as farupas Sandy Point, wh thy anchored and threw shell shoreward. ‘ster- day, one monitor and tw» gunboats started up, and halting within sixteen miles of Drary’s Bluff, commenced & vigorous shelling of the weods, right and left.

It often bacomes our melancholy duty :o chronicle the closing scene in life's great drama, when the actors haye been thore whose career were watched with anxiety and interest.

He was appointed Sergeant Majorof the 27t™ regimen‘, ©. V., and in that capacity started with it for the scene of action on the 224 of Or= tober, 1562. He evinced early evidence of his qualifications for the position he occupied, and ucguitted himself as a trne and gallantsoldier; and by his talent and graceful bearing fre- quently attracted the attention, and won the sere’ admiration of those Ingh im come mand. He was in the battle of Fredricksburg, an@ was commissioned 2d Lieutenant of Co.
