The Charteston 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 peco- liar effect upon the liver, and guards the sys- tem againet disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is said that the crea: success of the Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previ- ous toour unhappy difficulties was found in most Southern homes, was owing totheextract 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 himself by Plantation Bitters. Now that these Bitters cannot be obtained, & substitute should be pre- pared. We understand our government has opened negotiations with Dr. Drake, through a secret agent, but with what truth we do not know.” * * * * * a> * We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmond Whig forits remembrance of Auld Lang Syne,” but we can assure Our Government” that the Plantation Bitters are notfor sale toany ‘‘secrat agents,” North or South. There is probably several other things that “Our Government” will yet want. We know that we have the bestand most popular medicine in the worid. We are not afraid to show what it is composed of. Physicians are compelled to recommend it.

Itscolumns fire open to the ablest writers in the State, whose stutesmanlike arguments against seces- sion are unayswerable. Tis editor, Hon. W. W. Holden, who caued the rebel editor of the Raleigh Register a short lime since, threatens John Mitchell, of the Richmond Examiner, with like treaiment.

We do not know the strength of his army, and if we did it woujd be improper to make it known; but we may say that taking the present statusot his an- tagonist mto the account and his well known fagacity anc adroitness, he will find his situ- ation a most hazardous and perpiexing one, unless there is greater energy and promptmess sbown than now seems to exist in tuis Cepart- ment. Itis apparent that Rosecrans intends to flank him upon both sides—that he will ne doubt throw a massive column into North- western Georgia, and another into East Ten- nessee by way of Sparta. Supnose the former ensues, what other security has Bragg than to fall back to Atlanta, and if he does, what will become of East Tennessee. in Faction nd inter. ATTACK ON THE Myprrary NEAR Hien Brivor—Twe Members of the Tist Regiment Wounded—The Riotous Gang Dispersed,—Intor- mation having reached the camp neat High Bridge that a body of men numbering about 200 were congregated near Tubby Hook, about 23 miles from camp, evidently intending come mischief, Capt. Dominick, commanding Oos. B and F, of the 7ist regiment N. ¥.S. M., sta- tioned there, at 9 o’clock last evening sent out @ party of ten men under command of a Lieu- tenant to find out the truth of the various r mors which had reached camp. The Lieuten- ant posted his pickets in varions places ou the Toad and had not proceeded far with his equad when a savage attack was made on the-sci- diers by a large number of men, who ali at once made their appearance on both sides of the road. Stenes were hurled and pistols fired at the boys of the 7ist, who seeing that their force was entirely too small to overpower the attacking party, slowly retreated to their en- campment at High Bridge. During the atta:x two privates named Burke and Hoyt, both ot Co. FP, were severely wounded. A larger forse was about to be sent atter the riotous party last night, when tie police of that neighm hood repsrted that the gang had already persed.—N. Y. Express, Aug. 21.

The rebel edifice is trembling trom dome to fcundaticn stone. Stand from und r! Mr. Lincoln lately appointed a day of Thanks- giving and Prayer, and Jeff. Davis a day of Fasting and Prayer. The difiiculty with Jet's people is that they fast te0 much and pray too dittle. At the time of the great New Madrid earth- quake, the Misrissippi river, it is said, ran up stream 2 couple of hours. The rebels think that it has now “gone up” again. 7” A couple were engaged to be married the other day in Chicago, and every preparation was made to celebrate the nuptials, but the brigegroom did not appear. A messenger, however, brought the news to the waiting par- ty that he had been drafted in New York, and could not leave. The reply of the young lady was worthy of the eccasion. With tear drops glistening in her eyes, and her heart ready to burst with grief, she turned to the company andsaid: /don’t keer a durn; there’s plenty more menin the world, anyhow!” The meeting adjourned. a7 The U. . steamer Alabama has lost nine- teen of her crew by yellow fever.
