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. Residence Front Street, near Broad, Nashville, July Ist, 1861. 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.

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. < Vol. 3—No. -46 \ $2 a year in advance-
