EFFECTSOFWAR!
mill! effect of the war policy of tho Northern
X administration is already being felt to a
great extent all over the North. The heavy de
cline in the value of property of all kinds, the al
most entire suspension of their manufactories,
and the many failures that occur evory day
among their commercial houses, are the first
signs of tho terrible result and the just punish
ment of a crisis which they have inaugurated
themselves.
Merchants of the best standing are compelled
to throw their goods into market aud auction
houses in order to realize the cash, while such
can only be done at great sacrifices.
Having returned a lew days ago from the North,
we had occasion while there, to witness some of
these large auction ealoa, where some of the finest
ana most fashionable goods were sold at nnusual
low prices; in fact so low that we could not resist
the tomptotion, and concluded to purchase a
good supply for our market, and we take pleas

CHEROKEE REMEDY!
An unfailing Specific far all Diseases of the Urinary
Organs, and a General Alterative and
Blood .Purifier.
This “Remedy" Cures when all other Preparations Fail!
IT is entirely unlike every other medicine pre
scribed for Veneral Diseases, as it contains no
Mineral Poison, or Nauseous Drugs, being pre
pared from Roots, Barks and Leaves, in the form
of a pleasant and delicious Syrup.
It is “nature's own remedy” for Gonorrhoea,
(Clap,) Gleet, Gravel, Stricture, and is especially
recommenduM for Fluor Albus (Whites in Females)
for this complaint it is invaluable.
Asa general altorative and blood purifier, it has
no equal, and does not fail to cure Scrofula,
Secondary Syphilis, Glandular Swellings, Mercu
rial and all Eruptivo diseases, curing them more
speedily and permanently than any othor medi
cine known. It does this by purifying and clean
sing the blood, causing it to flow in all its original
purity and vigor, thus removiug from the system
all impure and pernicious causes which have
induced disease.
In all old cases of Gonorrhoea and Gleet, that
have baffled all medical skill, it is especially re
commended —in old cases it never fails, and re
cent ones it cures from ono to three days. A few
doses positively removes all scalding heat, chordee
aud pain.
It does not affect the breath, or interfere with
any class of business.
It requires no assistance from other medicine.
It can lay on tho toilet table, or in the counting
room, without being suspected as a “remedy” for
privato diseases.
A Treatise on Venerial Diseases, with full di
rections for their permanent core, accompany
evch bottle.
For full particulars, get a circular, free, from
any drug store in the United States.
It is sold at retail for $2 per bottle, or three for
$5, by all responsible druggists aud dealers in
medicines throughout tho United States, and at
wholesale by all wholesale druggists.

The Battle of Manassas.
The Nashville Union of the 30tb ult.
says a reliable gentleman who has just
returned from Richmond, learned the
following facts from an authentic source
while in that city. Our loss in the bat
tle of Manassas is about fivo hundred
killed and one thousand wounded, and
two pieces of artillery. The Federal
loss is about eight thousand killed, three
thousand wounded, and one thousand
four hundred prisoners, including one
Lincoln Congressman. We captured six
ty cannon, including three or four bat
teries, and about twenty thousand stand
of the most improved small arms, five
hundred wagons, and two thousand hor
ses and mules ; besides immense quanti
ties of ammunition, side arms, knapsacks,
baggage, and army stores in great abun
dance and of good quality. The prop
erty we captured would if estimated at
present prices, be sufficient it is thought,
to pay the entire expenses of the war to
the Confederate States up to this time.
Attbe battle of Manassas, the large siege
thirty-two pounder, ovor which the Yan
kees made such great brags, was captur
ed. This gun is 20 feetlong. The Yan
kees only saved two small pieces, out of
all their field artillery. These were fixed
on three wheels and were the only pieces
taken through Centreville in their flight.
Residents of Centreville confirm this
statement.
In addition to the 20,000 stand of arms,
30,000 handcuffs, four wagon loads of
horseman’s pistols, &c., our gallant and
victorious army captured a largo number
of boxes, &c., belonging to Gen. Bcott and
ether “grand army’’ officers, and all
marked as destined to “Richmond.”—
Many of the boxes were filled with sauces,
sardines, preserved meats, peach pre
serves, olives, &c. Our army is said to
have captured provisions enough to last
twelve months.— Richmond Enquirer
Form of a Lincoln Parole.
A friend, writing from Augusta, says :
“At Branchville I met with a Columbus
boy, a prisoner of war, who was captured
by the Federal troops, at the battle of
Laurel Hill. He is one of a company
raised by Frank Dillard. Below you

PENSACOLA CORRESPONDENCE OF THE SUN.
Pensacola, August 1, 1801.
Fth. Sun: A beautiful day and delight
ful sea breeze, such as we always have,
greets the dawn of the la«t month of
summer.
Within the past twenty-four, or i may
say, twelve hours, we have had a few in
teresting incidents.
Last night, about 9 o’clock, a large
steam frigate, since proved to be the Wa
bash, of 40 guns, arrived in the fleet
outside. She was greeted with a gun
from the Colorado, the flag ship of the
Commodore, and signal lights, blue and
red, were exchanged between the vessels
and Fort Pickens. This unexpected de
monstration outside, rather fuddled the
troops at Warrington, not understanding
such manoeuvres, and considerablcexoite
ment existed. The morning’s light re
veuled the cause.
These two large frigates are anchored
near each other, some distance from tho
fort, down the Island of Santa Rosa, east
wardly, and make a formidable appear
ance.
Another incident, which occurred up
here is still more interesting, and exhibits
the promptness of our troops to meet any
emergency and the eagerness with which
they aot.
About 3 o’elook, this morning, an alarm
of an attack, or landing of tlie enemy on
our shore, with a view of attacking us
at Pensacola, was given. The Mobile
Continentals were on the ground of ren
dezvous in seven minutes, in the accom
plishment of which, I learn that they lost
ono of their horses, he having stumbled
and thrown his rider who was injured,
but not seriously. The excitement in
the Georgia Regiment, I believe was in
tense. Drums beat, rolls called, hurry
and bustle, and rapid marohing, all de
noted excitement. They arrived in a
very short time in front of the headquar
ters of Col. Jackson, where it was, much
to their discomfiture, found that the
alarm was false. A ruse gotten up to
test their readiness at any moment, and
a very important move 1 think.
1 must confess that I was rather mys
tified myself at this sudden excitement,
and found mauy in the same fix.
It is a good idea and will warn us to
be always on the alert. We do not know
at what moment we may be attacked by
the hirelings of the rump government,
and we should be the gut vice.
1 noticed among the arrivals in our
city to-day, Purser Felix Senac, of this
State, who has just arrived home from
the Mediterranean, in the frigate Sus
quehana, and has resigned, preferring to
place his fortunes with his native South.
XXX.
Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury.
In the Confederate Congress on Tues
day last, the report of tho Secretary of
the Treasury was presented, aud consid
ered in secret session. The Richmond
Examiner says of it:
It is understood that the report is main
ly in answer to a resolution passed at
the late session of Congress instructing
tho Secretary to prepare a statement
touching the amount received from all
sources and expended under direction of
the Government; and also tabular statis
tics of taxable property in tho several
States in the Confederacy. In round
numbers, it is believed the expenditures
have been about $10,000,000, up to Ist
July, while receipts have been about
$14,000,000. Tho former includes an
item of $400,000, refunded to South
Carolina, in part satisfaction of her out
lay iuthe way of preparation for defence,
anterior to her adoption of the Constitu
tion of the Confederate States.
The Secretary of the Treasury esti
mates the taxable property, real aud per
sonal, of the 11 States at $4,700,000,000.
Secrotary Chase puts that of the United
States at $10,000,000,000; but mauy of
his values are fictitious and ephemeral,
while the estimates of the Confederate
Secretary aro based on solid securities.
The expenditure of the Confederate Gov
ernment does not of course, include the
expenses incurred by the States prior to
their connection with the Southern Con
federacy, except the case alluded to of
South Carolina. The balance of her
outlay of $600,000 has been taken in
Confederate bonds, no mention of whioh
is made in the amount to the credit of
the Government. The Secretary will
soon issue $20,000,000 Treasury notes,
which the banks take on deposit and in
liquidation of dues.
No additional recommendation is un
derstood to be made in this report touch
ing the financial policy proper to be pur
sued by the Confederate States.
How the Hewn wa* Received at
Philadelphia.
Forney’s l’ress thus tells how the news
of the terrible defeat of the Federals ut
Manassas, was received at that city :
The streets were speedily filled with
hundreds of nervous, pallid citizens, who ,
spoke in low, fitful language of the proba- i
ble effect of the repulse upon the pro
longation of the war, the courage of our
soldiery, and the inhuman exultation or
the rebels. Had au epidemic swept over
the city, or desolation entered into its
houses, or each man felt in his heart the ,
fabled death, or anything of indmdual j
or personal misfortune occurred, there 1
might have been some cheerfulness to
light up the anxious faces. In this oaso,
however, it was an imperiled nation,
which implied to every Philadelphian an
imperiled home and a disgraced people.
The brightness of the sky seemed sud
denly overcast; the quick pulses of the
morning beat slowly and sadly; there
was sorrow in every household, nnd the
of war came home to our once
happy people in ail their ignominy and
acuteness.
We heard of a nnmber of cases where
weak and aged citizens fell half lifeless
at the first intimation, and many were
taken to their beds, under circumstances
of almost hopeless recovery.

ihe Federal troops at .Springfield, Mis
souri, on Friday, the 26th of July, and

complete.

passed and the President approved au

in the Confederacy; also one making pro
vision for the care of supplies for the sick

evidence, that when the news was receiv
ed at Washington of the capture of Sher
man’s battery, Gen. Scott privately or
dered six cannon to be taken from the
Navy Yard aud sent to the neighborhood
of Alexandria, with horses, and then
brought back to Washington, with the
announcement that it was Sherman's
battery.

the many and great sacrifices you are
making your.country in marching to the
tented field to expell tho ruthlese invad
ers from our soil, yon will please accept
from me the horse which I send by the
boy. You will find him lo be a noble

speed and bottom with elegant gaits.
Hoping that our arms may ultimately

Fort Mitchell, Aug. 1.
Col. N. W. Long— Dear Sir: Icannot
find words adequate to express my grati
tude to you for the high, flattering and
appreciated compliment you have paid me
by the presentation of the noble charger
I have this moment received. Bir, your
liberality is only equalled by your patri
otism. When I was honored with the
command of the Midway Guards 1 had
frequent displays of your generosity in
liboral donations to my company, but the
personal compliment you have this day
bestowed upon me I must to be
unmerited.
Most heartily, sir, do I join you
in your good wishes for the success
of our arms. The God of justice and
battles is with us, and as sure as history
iR philosophy teaching by example, vie
tory will yet perch upon the standard of a
“redeemed, regenerated and disen
thralled” people. Again renewing to you
my warmest thanks, I have the honor of
remaining your friend and mowt obedient
and humble servant.
