Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak- ne 8, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack o appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con. stipation, &e., deserve to suffer if they willno try the celebrat PLANTATION BITTERS, which are now recommended by the highest medi- cal aathorities, and warranted to produce an im- mediate beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required. They purify, etrengten and invigorate, They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to a change of water and diet. They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours. They strengthen the system and enliven the mind. They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach. They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Merbus, They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ach. They make the weak strong, the languid bril- fant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer, They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roota and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Oroix rum. For particulars, see circulars and testimonials around each bottle. Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle, Bee that it has D, 8, Barner’ signature on our pri- yate U. 8.

The 2d corps, in their charge on the plank road, drove ‘ne rebeis trom (heir works on the south side of the ran and across the bridge, of which they held possession until ordered to withdraw. In the advance of the 5th corps they moved on the south side of the run, and the road being very crooked in this vicinity, by keep- ing close to it, there was & gap between its left and the right of the 2d corps The enemy took advantage of this, and, massing in the woods under cover, made a most determined assault on the right of the vd division of the 2d corps, evidentiv with the intention of capturing the entire force on the right. Their charge fora very short time was a success, but our men rallied, charged in turn, and driving the rebels back, cut off the greater part of Anderson’s brigade of Hill’scorps. Thenumberot prison- ers thus taken here was about 400, including many officers. Meantime, the 5th corps had reached the en- emy’s works on their front, and became hotly engaged. The loss here was not so heavy as the 2d corps. Darkness approaching, and it being deemed unsafe to occupy so extended @ line with Strong works in front, and exposed to flank attacks from cavalry, orders were issued to Withdraw about two mules, which was done Withoot loss. 5 During the engagement the enemy droy~ our men from two guns, but before they could be removed, our men charged and retook them. The loss of the enemy cannot be stated, but is thought to be aboutas heavy as our own in killed and wounded, while their lossin prison- ers is much larger than ours. We took about five hundred altogether during the day. Genera!

[From the Richmond Enquirer, Oct, 29.] At an early hour yesterday morning a move- ment in force upon our works was developed by the enemy on the lines below Richmond, and en the right of our Jine before Petersbarg. During the previous night the enemy had made extensive preparatory manenvers, and, it is said, had received heavy reinforce- ments. Be this as itmay, the enemy begun below Richmond by making some demonstration against ourright, bringing abouta heavy can- nonade, which was intermingled some ume atter with considerable skirmishing. The en- emy made no determined attack upon our front, but seemed to be simply feeling the Strength of our line They continue? to move out to the right, however, upon a line parallel to our works, skirmishing occasionally along our exterior line, but making no impression. Upon reaching the vicinity of the junction of Nine Mile road with the Williamsburg torn- pike, they 1nade several serious efforts to break our line, but were repulsed with considerable Joss. The cannonade continued during nearly the entire day. The principal fighting occurred on the Williamsburg and Nine Mile roads, some seven or eight miles trom the city. Our losses were very slight. Firirg ceased about six 0 clock in the evening. Pending the progress of affairs on the north side a still More vigorous attempt was made by the enemy before Petersburg to extend their lines toward the Southside railroad. They ad- vanced at an early hour in force, upon our works on Burgess’ tarm, on the Boynton plank road, seven miles southwest of the city, and made seven assaults upon them, but were sig~ nally repulsed each ume. In the cavalry skirmishing during the day, the gallant General Dearing, ot South Caro- lina, it is reported,twas killed. After their san- guinary repulses in the morning, the enemy remained comparatively quiet on the right, but commenced in the afterncon some heavy can- nonading and mortar sheiling on the lett of our Petersburg tront. The losses of the enemy are, of course, unknown. It is evident they are prepared now to operate on both flanks, and it is likeiy they will attempt to extend their lines upon both sides simultaneously. They were yesterday within a short distance of the York River Railroad, but the further they proceeded in that direction the deeper they got intothe swamp country, which is somewhat more uncomfortable, if not so dan- getous, in winter than in summer. What ob- ject they can have in stretching out their line on this side, unless it be the rather questiona~ ble object of getting upon the Central Railroad, itis not easy to divineas yet. Itis certain and quite satisfactory that they made nothing out of anything they attempted on yesterday. Whatever their design was, whether asa “feel- er” or as the beginning of » grand assanit, it was 8 costly and a useless enterprise, REBEL ACCO ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS —Iin the Alexandria State Journ al we fing the following: We are sorry to announce that Mr. BE.
