June 20, 1861. )
Messrs. Clark, Gregory & <7o*, Nashville, Tenn:
We have heard many inquiries made about the use
and benefit of your Ambrosial Oil in cases ot Hog Chol
era. Tliat*all may have on opportunity to test its util
ity for themselves, we give the prescription as used by
ourselves and others.
As soon as possible after you discover the disease in
the hog give one table spoonful mixed with two spoon
ful of milk or water. Bathe the back of the years
and along the back-bone with the Ambrosial Oil or
spirits of Turpentine. Repeating the dose three times
during the day.
Nearly all the cases thus treated coming under our
notice, have been effectually cured.
To be effectual give in the early stage of the disease
and keep the hog from water until he shows decided
symptoms of improvement. Respectfully,
Wm. HAMMOND,
A. A. BLACKBURN,
E. INMAN.
In confirmation of the above I cheerfully
mend the Ambrosial Oil , as I have given it a trial with
my hogs, with great success. I saved some that ap
peared to be in the last stage of the disease. I boiled
in two quarts meal one half bottle and gave to mv hogs
in their feed. W. R SMITH.

Further evidence from Mr. John Bryant—Long Is
land P. 0., Ala., April 18, 1861.
Who affirms that he has found Ambrosial Oil good
for what, the proprietors recommend it—when he goes
on to say :
I had a hog nearly dead with Hog Cholera, and as I
had never known one cured I .concluded as an exper
iment, to give tlie hog some Ambrosial Oil. 1 gave
the Oil in a spoon with sweet milk, and strange tt) say
two doses saved me several dollars worth of pork, for
the hog got well in a few hours.

THERE’S LIFE IN THE OLD LAND YET.
BT JAMES R. RAUDALL.
By blue Patapsco’s billowy dash
The tyrant’s w*ar shout comes,
Along with the cymbals’ fitful clash,
And tlie growl of his sullen drums ;
IVe hear it —we heed it, with vengeful thrills,
And vvr shall not forgive or forget— [hills,
There’s faith in the streams, there’s hope in the
There’s life in the Old Land yeti
Minions ! We sleep but we are not dead,
We are crushed, we are scourged we are scarred
We crouch—’tis to welcome the triumph tread
Os the peerless Beauregard ;
Then woe to your vile, polluting horde,
■When the Southern braves are met —
There’s faith in tlie victor’s stainless sword,
There’s life in the Old Land yet 1
Bigots ! ye quell not the valiant mind
With the clank of an iron chain —
The spirit of freedom sings in tlie wind
O’er Merryman*Thomas and Kane;
And we, though we smile not, are not thralls —
We are piling a gory debt,
While down by McHenry’s dungeon walls
There’s life in tlie Old Land yeti
Our women have hung their harpstiwav,
And they scowl on your brutal hands.
While the nimble poinard dares the day
In their dear, defiant hands ;
They will strip their tresses to string our bows,
Ere the Northern sun is set,
There’s faith in their unrelenting Woes —
There’s life in the Old Land yet l
There’s life though it throbbetli in silent veins,
’Tis vocal without noise,
It gushed o’er Monassa’s solemn plains
From the blood of the Maryland boys ;
That blood shall cry aloud, and rise
With an everlasting threat,
By the death of the brave, by tlie God of the skies,
There’s life in the Old Land yet 1
Extortion.
Some writer lias said “There is a great
deal of human nature in man.” He might
have said, and we suppose did mean, “a
smart sprinkling of rascality.” These war
times are developing the latent rascality
of the people in all sections of the country.
Talk about patriotism ! It is with many
men all profession, and nothing more.
Some will contribute something to our vol
unteers, and before they reach the scene
of action, filch from their families three
times as much as they have given, and
then boast of their liberality ! We are
afraid that the patriotism of many men is
not even skin deep. They love Dollars
and Cents, and nothing else. Money is
their God—their country —their all !
Such creatures are now demanding ex
orbitant prices for whatever they have.—
They are prepared to bleed the Govern
ment or their neighbors —anybody—so
that they can fill their pockets. The war
is a perfect wind-fall of good luck to them,
and they rejoice over the sufferings of their
country —they glory in the groans and
tears of stricken families mourning over
the martyrs of liberty, because, during the
war, they can Jill their pockets ! God pity
such men !
A cotemporary refers as follows to the
extortioners with whom the country now
swarms :
Scoundrels.
We are mortified beyond expression,
says the Mobile Advertiser & Register ,
to remark that there are men in the South
who, in this war of independence, find the
dictates of selfish interest stronger than
that of patriotism to a degree which is on
ly not criminal in the proper understand
ing because there is no law that makes it
amenable to criminal statute. The Rich
mond papers state that certain persons
have secured in advance the product of a
number of mills which the government
chiefly relied on for furnishing the cloth
for the manufacture of winter clothing for
j our soldiers at the Confederate factory in
that city, and now hold their bargains de
manding an exorbitant profit on the prices
of fabrics.
If there is no law to punish such offense
it is simply because law makers never con
templated that human nature would as
sume so degraded a phase. Tho act —
whether committed by native Southerners,
or merely men in the South, we know not
is worthy the Yankee contractors who are
remorselessly sucking the lifeblood of the
Lincoln administration, and to sympathet
ic fellowship with whom they should be
dispatched without delay. Their offense
of preying on the necessities of the Gov
ernment is only a more magnificent phase
of that of less pretentious scoundrels at
many points in the Soui-h, who pocket ex
ultinglv the vile profits accruing from
preying on the necessities of the peo
ple.
These small change plunderers and trai
tors to the spirit of patriotism which they
affect, recreants to morality and standing
disgracers of the country of which they
are or must soon become citizens or leave
are everywhere practising their petty pil
lage upon soldiers, and absent soldiers
wives and children, and upon all ; secur
ing monopolies of necessaries in local mar
kets that they may exact exorbitant pro
fits j playing into e*acli others* hands that
they may force necessary articles up to a
ficticious valuation, which will enable
them to make cent per cent ; deprecia
ting the credit of our patriot government
by shaving its £ and practising
all the unhallowed tricks of trade and fi
nance which will enable them to wring a
few more cents from the ill provdied pur
ses of the needy.
We have no patience to discuss the tur
pitude of the creatures who coin the ne
cessities of the people into profits for them
selves 5 who give a dollar to a V oluntecr
Aid Society while they extort an hundred
from the people ; who, in t-hese fearful
times, guage their profit on merchandise
not by the cost, hut by the necessity which
compels the people to have it ; who uu
blushingly continue their practices simply
because there is no law to inhibit : who
dare to walk out before their fellow men,
and in the blessed sunlight of heaven
without a trembling terror that a bolt will
fall from the just arm of the Ruler of its
azure heights to punish their iniquity as
it exists before Him, their country and
their fellows. —Southern Watchman.
Life Spared at Manassas by the
Masonic Sign.—A gallant Georgia officer
was shot down as he was forming his com
pany in line of battle on Manassas Plains,
and refusing to he taken from the field
while in the exposed position, was again
wounded, each time mortally. His reg
i nent, the Bth Georgia, being compelled
to fall hack during an overwhelming charge
of the enemy, the poor fellow, unable to
move, was made prisoner—had his watch
and money taken from him, and was about
to be bayoneted, when he gave the Mason
ic sum. Thev now removed his boots to
releive his suffering, and laid him beside a
tree to die. The life thus spared, owing
to a vigorous constitution and religiously
observed habits, was prolonged thirty days.
This was the fate of Orderly Sergeant O.
B. Eve, of the Miller Rifles, of Rom?,
Georgia.
France. —A letter from Paris by the
Niagara, says several supeiior and subal
tern officers of the Erench artillery were
offered great advantages for their services
in the United States Army, but the French
Government, which did not appear adverse
to their acceptance of the oiler at its first
mention, decided, on the 14th, against
granting them the necessary permission.
