(From the Richmond Whig.) The Charleston Courier makes a timely sng- gestion in recommending the attention of our government to the naturalization and cultiva- ison of Oalisaya, for the preservation of the health ofoursoldiers. This ariiclehas a pecu- liar effect upon the liver, and guards the sys- tem against disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is said that the greac success of the Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previ- ous toour unhappy difficulties was found in most Southern homes, was owing totheextract of Oslisaya Bark which it contained as one of | ite 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- pherie causes, he invariably relieved himself by Plantation Bitters. Now that these Bitters cannot be obtained, a substitute should be pre- parcd. We understand our government has opened negotiations with Dr. Drake, througha secret agent, but with what truth we do not know.” # * * * * * * We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmond Whig tor its 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 eeveral other things that “Our Government” will yet want. We know that we have the bestand most popular medicine in the world. We are not afraid to show what it is eomposed of. Physicians are compelled to recommend it. OatiaavA BAR has been celebrated for over two hundred yeare, 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, &e. CASCARILLA BARK.—For Diarrhea, Uelic, and diseases of the stomach and bowels. DanpkLioNn.—For Inflammation of the Loing and Dropsical Affections. CHAMOMILE Flowsers.—For enfeebdled di- gestion.

Another wonderfrl ingredient, of Spunish origin, imparting beauty to the complexion and brilligncy to the mind, is yet unknown to the commerce of the world, and we withhold its name for the present.

He thinks the Joss would reach 22,000,000, and perbaps much more asthe guerrillis seemed determined to destroy everything that would burn. It is belivved that no resistance mnade, us the town was taken compkte: surprise. James H.

That Ferdo. in relation to a projected rising of se- cessionists in Maryland is decided news in this querter, and it is Lot believed that Lee bas re- ceived sufticient acceesions trom the rebel con- fcription fo counterbalauce his losses from orsertion and from troops drawn from hisarmy to so to the relief ot Charleston : Aithough there is at present no evidence o an upercesive movement on the partor Genera! Lee, still ali the information received directiy ircm Richmond. and corroborated by the stat--- Inerts Of deserters and exchanged prisoners, te..ds to show that a long time will not elapse beicre the rebel commander, who is now get- ung ready for the fall campaign, will take the iminaiye And push his colamns forward. A geutleman of foreign birth, snd holding an offic-al position m Ricbmond, writes to bis friend in this city that the report is current that Gen. Lee will shortly offer battle to Gen. Me:de: aud if that General refuses to accept it, aud falis buck under the protection ef the fortifications ef Wasbington, Gen. Lee will then invade Maryland, where preparations have been made by the secessionists of that State to receive him, and to give him all the assistance in men, Money, rms and provisions thet they can procure. This time Gen. Lee will avoid Pennsylvania, vpon which the Richmonders look a= a North. frm State hostile ta principles and in feelings to the Sunta, while Maryland, they hold, be- longs to the South. Gen. Lee’s invasion will not have, buwever, the permanent ocewpation of thst State for iis object, but simply the se- lection of & ficld ot bettie whera he can wait the approuch of the Union army. His aim is not tu carry operatious Norihward, bat, as be- tore, to take possession of Washington, if the forture: of war are in bis favor; if not, he will full back upon Richmond, and will wait jer the Unionists behind the fortifications of that piace. Roby leans his presence on the Rappa- kanneck, Gen. Lee is said to be organizing se- cretly su army of reserve, the location of, which will be either Winchester or some place in wu ; Shenandoxh Valley. This army, to whieh ail the conscripts pussing through Richmond are directed, will be 40,:0u strong. The mission is pot yet known, although it is generally believed that it will have an independent organization and a particular task to perform. Gen. Long- street is talked of as lis most probable leader. All the rebel officers who were at Richmond on leave of absence have gone back to their regiments. The city, which was full of them & week ago, contains vow noother persons than civilians and inyalids. It1s also reported that a whole division, supposed to haye been de- tached from the Army of the West, passed through Richmond during the night of the 32th inst. to take t in the operations of the fall campaign, whose opening will take place, ac- cording to public rumor, in the earlier part of Se ptember. . Federal and Confederate Stocks in Eng. jand. The London correspondent of the Pisiladel- phia /nguirer, writing under date of Aug. sh, says that a little more thana fortnightago Can- federate scrip stood firmly at the London Stock Exchange at from three to four per cent. pre- mium. This was, of course, altogether a ficti- tious value, the result of successful manenver- ing and combinations on she part of the friends and those interested in the ecrip, and could, under no circumeiances, have been maintained fcr any length of time. The first tidings of Lee's repulse, even before it was confirmed, sent the bulls and bears to their arithmetic, and before the day was over the price had sud- debly propper to 61x and seven discount. A few days passed, and another steamer bronght the news of the fall of Vicksbarg. Down went the Confederate stock Gor 38 per cent. Then came the tidings of the surrender of Port Hudeon, the bombardmeni of Charles- ton, and the numerons other succeases of the Federal army in other quarters. No one was } surprised the nextday tosee scrip quoted at 2b to 24 discount, and day after day to find the | two figures gradpally increasing in magni- tude. The upshot of it all has been, in spite of | the urgent appeals and representations of Mr. Spence and the Confederate agents, through the Times and other newspapers, and at the Stock Exchange itself, that ine miserable trash bas at last been publicly offered at 40 disconat, and notaman bas been found willing to risk his money-in the investment even at that prioe. J) is true that subsequent sales are reported at 22 to 26 diecount. As to the condition of Federal stocks, it is only necessary to quote from the weekly cir- cnlar of one of the most unfriendly London banking houses: “ The market in London for American Secu- Tiles bas been sleadily amproving throu yhout the wrek, To-day, however, on receipt of the Jura’s telegrams, a very active demand sprung up, und, stock being scarce, an advance of three dollars per share took place in Illinois, and of one dollar and fifty cents Erie (Now for the philosophical tion of this te of things) “There substantial aprovement in the actual i- tion of railroad undertakings in the Northern States of America (what! in spite of the war !) as compared with tbeir position two years ago, which seems to be understood in that country, though itis ignored on this side ef the Atlan- lic: hence we see why the values of railroad stocks continue to increase, whilst the pre- mivan on gold declines. The result is a large advance in the sterling value of shares held here; take, for instance, Illinois shares, which, on the [lth of March Inst, stood at45 discount, with exchange i, and are now standing ut only 16 discount, with exchange down to 140. Again, tale Erie’, whic veer the same day stood at 42, and are to- lay 74!” “American stocks and railway shares were enerally, with che exception of Virginia State jonds (mark the exception,) firmer. There ts a further advance in Lijinois Central, Brie, and Atlantic and Great Western (Pennsylvania section.)” Every day this is the character of the para- graph devoted to the United states, in the ordi- nary money &rticles of all the London pap=rs. Shaking in the Wind. ‘That thoroughly unscrupulous paper, the London 7imes, which is just now “catching it” from the unfortunate English speculators in Confea bonds, who, relyingon the affirmations ot that paper concerning the hopelessness. of the Federal cause, invested deeply in those worthless securities, now carries consternation to the hearts of the same bondholders by a vir- tus] abandonment of the Confederate cause. The Times of August 6, received by the Asia, says: «“ The etruggle in America has evidently en- tered upon & very critical period. The North has certainly gained successes which might check the-energies of & people not thoroughly determined to fight to thelast. The possession of the Miseissippi for {he time so completely thata veesel bas been able, at least for once, to pass down it from St. Louis to New Orleans entirely mamsieeen is a a = areas achievement, and may have important politica! eflects on ineattitude of the great States of the North-West. But this achievement is obvious- ty still more important in tire effect it will pro- bebly have on the campaign in the South- West, ££. * *% & *& ~ * From. aj} theee considerations it cannot be donbtd thatthe South may have to meet.an organized invasion on.the largest scale intethe beart of the Southern States, trom Tennessee on the north, Mississippi on west, and per- haps Mobile or the Gulf coast.on the south, It does not uppear at present that they haveshe ,iweans of successiully resisting such an ag- vance.

The xesuit ch & move oi efeseets would be the es ment bf an army of 160,000 men on the soil of Alabama or Georgia; and if they could retain such a posi- tion, it is felt that inferiority in the field would be the least of the consequent disasters of the South. Even it no battles were fought such a force would ravage the whole Rape et Ape ag stroy the crops, and while the bloe: le lag- ag “np the South cannot import yriy eo its necessities. It is clear that the 2 journals themselyes feel thatifsuch a. com- diced force ss we bave indicated by the forces of Generals Banks, Grant, and Rosecrans ean be aade, it would drive the to grea; extremities.
