They purify, strengten 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 eure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ach. They make the weak strong, the languid bril- jant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer, They are composed of the celebrated Oalisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix ram.

General Baker fought until the enemy’s gunboats passed our forts and dismounted all our guns im the harbor. An evacuation was then or- dered, which was accomplished under asevere shelling. Itappears there were unseen forces up a channel, which took them above Ply- mouth, thus enabling them to come down an- ether channel commanding the rear of that lace.” z The Richmond Whig of the 3d gives thenum- ber of Union torces in East Tennessee, and says the rebel General Vaughn suffered a re- verse at Morristown losing four pieces of ar- tillery, and that Vaughn is reported now at Bristol. GRANT. From the Front at Petersburg— All Quiet along the Lines. Information from the Army of the Potomac is to the effect tnat military matters remain unchanged. Not even an item is to be obtained along the lines, except the occasional arrival of a deserter from rebeldom, with the sterotyped story of hunger, &c. If the stories told by them are true relative to the great numbers who long to come into our lines, there never was a better epportunity to do so than at present. Picket firing has almost entirely ceased, and the nights are quite dark, just such as deserters would be supposed to desire; but few now come over. Two deserters from our army were to have been shot yesterday, but the carrying out of their sentence was postponed by the President. Their names are Samuel J. Smith, 68th Penn- sylvania volunteers, and —— Rock, 15th New York volunteers. FROM THE SHENANDOAH. Early Recrganizing his Forces—An Assault of Mosby Repuised.

Brrrao, Noy. 5.—It is reliably ascertained that the Pej pees Georgianna has been pir- hased by the rebels in Toronto, a strengthened and armed somewhere on the Canada shore, for the Fa aye of sinking the steamer Michigan, and for piratical excursions generally on this coast.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS. — From the State Journal of Saturday evening: It will be remembered that Mosby has had in his service fora long time a deserter from our army—sth New York cavairy—known 4s the “Big Yankee.” Mosby has always ree garded him as the most vaiuable man in his command He figured quite largely in the capture of Gen. Stoughton at Fairfax Court Houee over a year ago—indeed, it was througn his agency that this dash of Mosby succeeded. Well, the » Big Yankee” has at last come to erief. A few days ago, Mosby had some im- portant messages to send toa distant pomt, and the errand was considered a very danger- ousone. The + Big Yankee” proposes to un- dertake the job, and Mosby, considering him very valuable, and not desiring to lose hit, endeavored to persuade him not to go. But he persisted in going, and Mosby fintlly consent- ed. He started, but never returned. On his way he encountered asmali squad of Union cavalry, who halted him and demanded his surrender. He refased, saying “there was ro surrender for him,” and at the same time he commenced firing into the squad which had halted him. The act resulted in his death, as he was immediately shot dead by our men. So ended the career of a most notorious and lawless man. General Slough and staff received orders late last night to immediately repair to the front to take charge of the troops on the line of the Orange and Alexandria and Manassas Gap railroads. He left thie city this morning at five o’clock a.m. We learn that his headquarters tor the present will be somewhere in the neigh- borhood of Manassas. Col. Wells, the present efficient and accommodating Provost Marshal General, has veen designated, by orders from the same source, to fill his place as Military Governor of the city during his absence in the field. No better selection could possibly have been made. Developments have recently come to ligtit implicating some of those connected with the i3th New York cavalry, stationed near Falls Church, in regard to unduly and improperly interfering with the soldiers of that regiment itt the casting of their votes for President anji Vice President and the State officers of New York. The information has been derived frorn those whose rights have been tampered witti. An investigation has shown that abont eight: votes have been thus controlled and cast fo} McClellan and Seymour, whereas had the sol| diers been left to vote as they desired, withou| intimidation or undue infinence, these vo' would have been cast for Lincoln and Mr. Fenton. We hope the matter will at once brought to the attention of the War Depar' ment, and that the guilty ones may speedil. meet the fate which they so richly merit.
