Kroui the Militery Correspondent of the London Time* with the rnuman Army ■ Horitz. July 3, 11 P. M-On Monday the 2d of July, Prince Frederick Charles halted with the First Army at Kummemtz, in order to allow the Crown Prince time to come up to Mile tin. a town five miles east of the village of Ivommenitz, and to get information of the movements of the Aus trians. That afternoon lie sent out two of ficers to recoinnoitre beyond Horitz; both fell in with Austrian troops, and had to fight and ride hard to bring their informa tion home safely. Maj. Von Ungar, who went in the direction of Konniggratz, escorted by a few dragoons, came upon a large force of Austrian cavalry and daggers before be got to the little river Bistntz, over which the road from Horitz tw Konniggratz, crosses, about half way between those two towns. A squadron of cavalry made an immediate dash to catch him, and he and his dragoons had to ride for their lives; the Austrians pursued, and those best mounted came up to the Prussians, but not in sufficient numbers to stop them, and alter a running skirmish, in which Von linear received a lance thrust in the side which carried away most of his coat, but hardly the skin, this reconnoitering party safely gained the outposts of their own army. More on the Prussian right the other reconnoitering officer also found the Austrians in force, and was obliged to re tire rapidly. From the reports of these officers, and from other information, Prince Frederick Charles determined to attack, so last night he issued orders for the immedi ate advance of his own army beyond Ho ritz, and sent Lieutenant Von Normand with a letter to the Crown Prince, asking him to push forward in the morning from Miletin and attack the right flank of the Austrians, while he himself engaged them in front. There was some fear that the Austrian cavalry patrols and detachments which were prowling about would intercept the aide-de-camp and stop the letter, but Von Normand succeeded in avoiding them, and got safely to the Crown Prince’s head quarters at 1 o’clock this morning, and re joined Prince Frederick Charles at 4 to re port the success of liis mission, and to bring to the leader of the First Army an assurance of the co-operation of the Sec ond. Had this aide-de-camp been taken prisoner or killed on liis way to Miletin, liis loss would have probably influenced the whole campaign, for on that letter depend ed in a great measure the issue of to-day’s battle. Long before midnight the troops were all in motion, and at half past one in the morning the General Staff left Kommenitz. The moon occasionally shone out brightly, but was generally hidden behind clouds, and then could he distictly seen the decay ing bivouac fires in the places which had been occupied by the troopsalong the road. These fires looked like large will-o’-the wisps as their flames flickered about in the wind, and stretched for many a mile, for there are 150,000 soldiers with the First Army alone, and the bivouacs of so great a force spread over a wide extent of country. Hay gradually began to dawn, but with the first symptoms of sunrise a drizzling rain came on, which lasted until late in the af ternoon. The wind increased and blew coldly upon the soldiers, for they were short of kith sleep and food. At daybreak the troops had taken up their positions to attack the Austrians, The main body of the army was at Molo witz, a village on the road from Hoeitz to Konniggratz: the 7th Division under Gen end Fransky, was at Cesekwitz on the left and the 4th and sth Divisions at the vil lages of Bristau and Psauch on the right, while General Von Bittcrtield with the Bth and part of the 7th Corps d’ Armee was sent to the town of Neubiusaw, on the extreme right, ten miles from Milowitz. About 4 o’clock the army began to ad vance, and marched slowly up the gentle hill which leads from Molowitz to the vil lage of Dub,'five miles nearer Konniggratz. Inc corn lay heavy and tangled from the rain upon the ground : the skirmishers pushed through it nimbly, but the battal ions which followed behind in crowded columns toiled heavily through the down beaten crops, and the artillery horses had to strain hard on their traces to get the wheels of the gun-carriages through the stickly soil. At 6 the whole army was close up to Dub, hut it was not allowed to go on the summit of the slope, for the ridge on which Dub stands had hidden all its motions, and the Austrians could see nothing of the troops collected behind the crest, and perhaps thought that no Prus sians were near them, except ordinary ad vanced posts; for the cavalry videttes which had been pushed forward thus far over night remained on the top of the ridge, as if nothing were going on behind them. From the top of the slight elevation on which the village of Dub stands, the ground slopes gently down to the river Bistritz, which the road crosses at the vil lage ol Sadowa. a mile and a quarter from Dub. From Sadowa the ground again rises beyond the Bistritz, and to the little village of Lissa, conspicuous by its church tower standing at the top of the gentle hill, a mile and half a from Sadowa. A person standing this morning on the top of the ridge saw tot down below him, built of wooden cottages, surrounded by orchards and could distinguish among its (houses several watermills, but these were not at Work, for all the inhabitants of the village had been sent away, and a white coat here and there among the cottages was not a peasants blouse, hut was the uniform of an Austrian soldier. Three-quarters of a mile down the Bistritz a big red brick house, with a high a brick chimney near it, look ed like a manufactory, and some large wooden buildings alongside it were unmis takably warehouses, close to these a few wooden cottages, probably meant for the workers employed at the manufactory, com pleted the village of Doliilnitz. A little more than a mile still further down the Bistritz stood the village of Mokgoweus, like most Bohemian country villages, built of pin wood cottages euclustered in orchard trees. The chateau of Dohalicha stands midway between Doliilnitz and Mokrowens as a knoll overhanging the river. Behind Dohilntiz and between that village and the highroad which runs through Sadowa, there lies a large thick woods. Many of the trees had been cut down about 10 feet above the ground, and the cut down branches had been twisted to gether between the standing trunks of the trees which were nearest to the river, to make an entrance into the wood from the front extremely difficult. On the open slope between Doliilnitz and Dohalicha along the ground, there seemed to run a dark dotted line of stumpy bushes, hut the telescope showed that these were guns, and that this battery alone contained 12 pieces. Looking to the left, uo the course of the Bistritz. the ground was open be tween the orchards of Sadowa and the trees which grow around Benatek, which marked the right of the Austrian position, except where, midway between those vil lages, a broad belt of lire-wood runs for three quarters of a mile. Above and be yond these villages and woods in the course of the river, the spire of Lissa was seen, below it a few houses, gardens, and patches ot fire-wood and a little to the left, rather down the hiil. were seen the cottage of the hamlet ol Chisliwes. The air was thick and hazy, the rain came down steadily, and the wind blow bitterly cold, while the infantry and artillery were waiting behind the brow of the hill near Dub. At seven o clock Prince Frederick Charles pushed forward liis cavalry and horse artillery. 1 hey moved down the slope towards the Bistntz at a gentle trot, slipping about on the greasy ground, but keeping most beautiful lines; the laneh flag on the Uhlans, wet with the rain, flapping heavily against the staves. At the bottom of the hill the trumpets sounded, and in making their movements to gain the bridge the squadrons began wheeling and hovering about the side of the river, as if they courted the fire of the enemy. Then the Austrian gun.- opened upon them from a buttery placed in a field near the village at which tne main road crosses the Bistritz, and the battle of Sadowa began. * The first shot was fired arjout half-past 7. The Prussian Horse Artillery, close down to the river, replied to the Austrian guns, but neither side fired heavily, and for half an hour the cannonade consisted of hut little more tiian single shots. At a quarter before 8. the King of Pru.-sia ar rived on the field, and very soon after the Horse Artillery were reinforced by other field batteries, and the Prussian gunners began firing their shells into the Austrian position. But as soon as the Prussian fire actively commenced, Austrian guns seemed to appear, as if by magic, in event ] joint of the position; from every road, 1 font every village, from the orchard of Mokrowens, on the Prussian right, to the orchard of Benatek, on their left, came flashes of fire and whizzing rifle shells, which, bursting with a sharp crack, sent their splinters rattling among the guns, gunners, carriages, and horses, often kill ing a man or horse, sometimes Tlismount ing a gun, but always ploughing up the earth and scattering the mud in the men’s faces. But the Austrians did not confine themseves to firing on the artillery alone, for they threw their shells up the slope op posite to them towards Dub, and one shell came slap into a squadron of Uhlans, who were close beside the King; burying itself with a heavy thud in the ground, it blew up columns of mud some 20 feet in the air, and, bursting a moment after, reduced the squadron by four files. As soon as the cannonade in front became serious, the guns of the 7th division began to bombard the village of Benatek, on the Austrian right. The Austrians returned shot for shot and neither side either gained or lost ground. In the centre, too, the battle was very even; the Prussians pushed battery after battery into action, and kept up a tremendous fire on the Austrian guns, but these returned it and sometimes with interest, for the Austrian artillery officers knew their* ground and every shell fell true; many officers and men fell, and many horses were killed or wounded. More Kranken tragers were sent down to the batteries, and always returned carrying on stretchers men whose wounds had been hastily bound up under fire, but who seemed to be too much stunned to suffer much from pain. Gradually the Prussian cannonade ap peared to get stronger, and the Austrian batteries between Doheinizt and Dohalicha retired higher up the hill; but the guns at Mokrowens still stood fast, and the Prus sians had not yet crossed the Bistritz ; but many guns were now turned on Mokrowens, and at ten o’clock the battery there was also obliged to retire a little. While this cannonade had been going on, some of the infantry had been moved down towards the river, where they took shelter from the fire under a convenient undulation of ground. The Bth Division came down on the left-hand side of the causeway, and, under the cover of the rising in the ground, formed its columns for the attack on the village of Sadowa; while the 3d and 4th Divisions, on the right-hand side of the road, prepared to storm Dohelnitz and Mokrowens. But a little before their preparations were com plete, the village of Benatek, on the Aus trians’ right, caught fire, and the 7th Divi sion made a dash to secure it, hut the Aus trians were not driven out by the flames — and here for the first time in the battle was there hand to hand fighting. The 27th Regiment led the attack, and rushed into the orchards of the village, and burning houses separated the combatants, they poured volley after volley at each other through the flames; but the Prussians found means to get round the burning houses, and taking the defenders in reverse, forced them to retire with the loss of many prisoners. It was ten o’clock when Prince Freder ick Charles sent General Stuhnapl to order the attack on Sadowa, Dohelnitz, and Mokrowens. The column advanced cover ed by skirmishers and reached the river bank without much loss, hut from where they had to fight every inch of their way. The Austrian infantry held the bridges and villages in force, and fired fast upon them as they approached. The Prussians could advance hut slowly along the narrow ways and against the defences of the houses, and the volleys sweeping through the ranks seemed to tear the soldiers down. The Prussians fired much more quickly than their opponents, but they could not see to take aim; the houses, trees, and smoke from the Austrian discharges shrouded the villages. Sheltered bv this, the Austrian Jagers fired blindly, and the Prussians could tell, by hearing, where the attacking columns were, and the shots told tremen dously on the Prussians in their close for mations; but the latter improved their positions, although slowly, and by dint of sheer courage and perseverance, for they lost men at every yard of their advance, and in some places almost paved the way with wounded. Then, to help the infantry, the Prussian artillery turned its fire, re gardless of the enemy’s batteries, on the villages, and made tremendous havoc among the houses. Mokrowens and Do liclnitz both caught on fire, and the shells fell quickly and with fearful effect among the defenders of the flaming liamlets; the Austrian guns also played upon the attack ing infantry, but at this time these were sheltered from their fire by the houses and trees between. In and around the villages the fighting continued for nearly an hour;. then the Austrian infantry, 'who had been there, driven out by a rush of the Prussians, re tired, but only a little way up the slope into a line with their batteries. The wood above Sadowa was strongly held, and that between Sadowa and Benatek, teeming with riflemen, stood to bar the way of the 7th Division. But Gen. Fransky, who commands this Division, was not to be easily stopped, and he sent his infantry at the wood and turned his artillery on the Austrian batteries. The 7th Division be gan firing into the trees, but found they could not make any impression, for the de fenders were concealed, and musketry fire was useless against them. Then Fransky let them go, and they dashed in with the bayonet, The Austrians would not retire, but waited for the struggle, and in the wood above Benatek was fought but one of the fiercest combats which the war lias seen. The 27th Prussian regiment went in nearly 3,000 strong, with 90 officers, and came out on the further side with only two officers and between 300 and 400 meii standing; all the rest were killed or wound ed. The other regiments of the division also suffered much, but not in same pro portion ; but the wood was carried. The Austrian line was driven in' on both flanks, but its commander formed anew line of battle a little higher up the hill, round Lissa, still holding the hill which lies above Sadowa. Then the Prussian artillery was sent across the Bistritz. and began to fire upon the new Austrian position.' At the same time the smoke of General Herwarth’s ad vance was gradually seen moving towards the Austrian left: for he had at Nechanitz, a village about seven miles lower down the Bistritz than Sadowa, found a brigade of Saxon troops, with some Austrian cavalry, and was driving them towards the position at Lissa. himself following in such a direc tion that it appeared he would turn the Austrian left flank. But the Austrian Commander seemed determined to hold his position, and heavy masses ofinfantry and cavalry could bo seen on the upper part of the slope- The Prussian infantry, which had taken the villages of Sadowa and Dohelnitz. was now sent against the wood, which, above these places, runs along the side of the Sadowa and Lipa road. _ They advanced against it. but did not at first make much impression, tor. the Austrians being here again concealed, the fire of the needle-gun did not a whole batten* pWd at the far end of the wood fired through the trees, and told on the Prussian ranks with awful effect. But the assailants fought on, at last broke down the obstacles at the entrance, and then dashed in. The fight ing continued from tree to tree, and the Austrians made many a rush to recover the lost position of the wood, but in this close fighting their boyish troops went down like ninepins before the strong men of the Bth Division; hut when the defenders drew back a little, and their artillery played into the trees, the Prussians suffered fearfully, and about half way up in the wood the fight became stationary. At this time the Austrian artillery were making splendid practice, and about one o’clock tne whole battle line of the Prus sians could gain no more ground, and was obliged to fight hard to retain the position it had won. At one time it seemed as if it would be lost, for guns had been dis mounted by the Austrian fire, and in the wooded ground the needle-gun had no fair field, and the infantry fight was very equal. Then Prince Frederick Charles sent the sth and Gth Divisions forward. They laid their helmets and knapsacks on the ground, and advanced to the river. The King was near to Bistritz, and the troops cheered him loudly as they marched into the bat tle. They went over the Sadowa bridge, disappeared into the wood, and soon the increased noise of musketry told they had begun to fight : but the Austrian gunners sent salvo after salvo among them, and they did not push the battle forward more than a few hundred yards, for they fell back themselves, and they could not reach the enemy. Not only the fragments of the shells fly about among them, scattering death and awful gashes among their ranks, but the portions of the trees, torn by the artillery fire, flew thickly about, huge, rag ged splinters, that caused even more fright ful wounds. Herwarth, too, seemed checked upon the right. The smoke of his musketry and artillery, which had hitherto been pushing forward steadily, stood still for a time. Fransky’s men cut to pieces, could not be sent forward to attack the Sadowa wood, for they would have exposed them selves to have been taken in rear by the artillery on the right of the Austrian line formed in front of Lipa, All the artillery was engaged except eight • batteries, and these had to be retained in ease of _ a re verse, for at one time the firing in the Sadowa wood, and of the Prussian "artil lery on the slope, seemed almost drawing hack towards Bistritz. The First Army was certainly checked in its advance, if not actually being pushed back. Then the Prussian commanders began to look anx iously to the left for the coming of the Crown Prince. Some Austrian guns near Lipa were seen to be firing towards the Prussian left, and was hoped they might be directed against the advanced guard of the Second Army, but at 3 o’clock there were no signs of Prussian columns ad vancing against Lipa. The Generals be came manifestly uneasy, and they drew the infantry out of the battle, cavalry was also formed up, so that it would be avail able either for the pursuit of the Aus trians, or for retarding their pursuit, and Gen. Von Rhetz himself went off to look for the Second Army. But he soon return ed, and brought the intelligence that the Crown Prince was forming his attack on Lipa, and that the guns on the Austrian right had been firing against his troops. Then the First Army took heart again. Tlie Sadowa wood was carried, and the battery beyond it was stormed by the Jagers. At halt-past 3, the Crown Prince’s columns were seen moving across the slope against Lipa, for his artillery had 'silenced the Austrian guns, and Herwarth was again pressing forward against the Aus trian left. In a quarter of an hour the Crown Prince’s infantry was engaged at Lipa, and their quick volleys of musketry, rapidly advancing, told that the Austrians were in full retreat. The First Army pushed forward at once, the artillery limbered up and galloped up the slope, coming into action on every opportunity to send its shells against the retreating battalions, the infantry, emerging from the woods, formed and pressed at the double. Prince Frede rick Charles put himself at the head of his regiment, and dashed over the Sadowa bridge and up the road, followed by all his light cavalry. On gaining the top of the Lipa slopes the retreating battalions of the Austrians were seen running across a hollow in the ground which lies between Lipa and the village of Streselitz, which lies _ about two miles further south. The Prussian artillery halted on the summit of the Lipa hill and fired shells rapidly, which burst with terri ble precision over the heads of the fugitives. The cavalry fled forward in pursuit, but the Prince after leading a short way, had to go to superintend the general movement, for the Austrian batteries had taken post on the Streselitz ridge, and were firing heavily against the pursuing Prussians. Then the cavalry got out of hand, and by small detachments rushed on the Austrian battalions ; but these, though retreating fast, were not routed, and in many in stances beat off the cavalry, who also suf fered much from the Austrian artillery, for the shells burst repeatedly among the squadrons, and killed many men and horses. But the Austrian guns were driven off their ridge by the heavier fire of the more numerous Prussian batteries, and then the pursuit was renewed. Some of the retreating Austrians made for the for tress of Koniggratz, others for Pardubitz, and troops were sent in pursuit along both roads. The wounded who were lying on the ground shrieked with fear when they saw the cavalry galloping down towards them, but Prince Frederick Charles took care that they should be avoided, and at one time checked the pursuit, in order to move his squadrons around, and not go through* a patch of standing corn, where several wounded Austrians had taken refuge. These, when they saw Lancers coming, thought they were going to be massacred, and cried piteously, waving white handkerchiefs as a sign of truce; hut they had no cause to fear. Large numbers of prisoners were taken, for the pursuit was continued to the Elbe, and it was not till 9 o’clock that the firing ceased, but the main body of the army halted about 7. — As the Princes returned the battalion cheered them for their victory; but they left the pursuit of their enemies and the cheers of their own victorious troops to look after the hospital accommodation provided for the wounded. These lay in immense numbers in the field; the dead, too, laid thick, but all that they require will be done to-morrow. Every cottage in the neighborhood that has not been burnt is full of wounded. Aus trians aud Prussians lie side by side, but the Ivrankentrager are still out, and all will not be collected until late to-morrow morn ing. Conspicuous in the hospitals, work ing diligently in their voluntary labor, are the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. This Order of Knighthood, renewed lately for the succor of the weak and suffering, has sent here a large hospital establish ment, under the direction of Count Theo dore Stolberg. From the voluntary contri butions of the Knights, hospitals are main tained in the nearest towns and in the field all necessary hospital stores are carried by the Order, and means of transport accom pany the army, hospital nurses are pro vided. and by their aid many wounded are carefully attended who could not be looked after by the ordinary arrangements. The battle of Sadowa has been a great victory to the Prussian army : the troops fought with the most determined courage, they stood for hours under a terrible fire, for there are supposed to have been nearly 1.500 guns in action, of which 750 were Prussian. The immediate cause of the victory was the Crown Prince’s attack on the Aus trian left flank, which turned the position, hut the attack in front had a great effect on the issue ; as unless it had been steadily maintained, the Austrians might have re pulsed the attack on flank. It is the opinion of the Prussian Generals that the Austrian retreat was most skillful, aud that their artillery was excellently handled. The number of troops engaged on the Prussian side was about 250,000. The Aus trians are supposed to have had almost an equal number. No details have yet been received of the number of killed, wounded or priso ners. [Prom the Waverly Magazine.] The Honest Working Man.

Albelt C. Aubery. c The crops of wheat in Rockingham and Augusta counties, Va.. are turning out better than was expected. The wheat in Virginia will average about sixty-three pounds to the bushel this year, and will be a great deal better than last year’s crop. Tt is also said that about three-fourths of an average tobacco crop will be raised this year. Accounts of the crops in Wisconsin, lowa and Northern Illinois are favorable. Most of the wheat has been harvested in excellent condition, and is abundant in quantity. The prospects of corn are unu sually promising. A Beaufort (South Carolina) correspon dent writes as follows: The cotton crop promises to be the finest for many years. The planters have placed under cultivation a larger portion of their land than for a number of years past, and reports received from reliable sources speak of a very heavy yield of the staple. There has been an abundance of rain re cently throughout this section of the State. The crops which were almost ruined, have revived, and there is now a fair prospect of an average yield. If there should he a dry fall, and no frost before November, we anticipate a heavy cotton crop on the up lands. — Marshall, Texas, Republic. Tiie Wheat Crop. —We are now pret ty well posted from all sections of the country in regard to the wheat crop just harvested and the conclusion is, that while it falls short of an average of other days, as regards quantity, it is tar in advance of the crops for some years past, and of ex cellent quality. There is an abundance for every domestic demand, and a good sur plus for exportation. The currency being equal, flour ought to, and will, he consider ed cheaper.— [Macon, (Ga.) Telegraph. Wheat. —Wheat declined in twenty-four hours in St. Louis, 27 cents per bushel, last week. It is a little difficult to get the real hang of the new crop yet. From some sections of the country we hear it is first rate, really No. 1 ; in others, it is repre sented to be light, and the grain poor. So far as this particular section is concerned, the yield is not so large as expected, though the grain is generally regarded as good. We believe the price paying here for a fair merchantable article, is two dollars per bushel. — Chattanooga Union. The Galveston News of the 16th says : “A large planter on the Brazos informs us that he expects to make 350 hales of cot ton from 450 acres. Also 300 hogs heads of sugar from a somewhat larger area of land. He thinks he will make 6,000 bushels of corn from 150 acres, or about forty bushels to the acre. He works now about sixty hands, though commenced with eighty hands, yet, the sixty, now, under the policy of General Kiddoo, do far more ' work than the eighty did under General Gregory’s rule.” Foreign Summary. The cholera has broken out at St. Peters burg. A second conscription has been ordered to take place in Hungary. The draft of the proposed modifications in the French Constitution has been pre sented to the Senate. The Bavarian army had entered the Ty rol and was proceeding in the direction of Italy. Bresica, July 6. —Two Austrian gun boats have been repulsed in an attack on Gargamo, Lake Garda. The King of Prussia had ordered the re lease of all the Austrian prisoners, on giv ing their parole not to serve again during the war. The municipality of Florence has pre sented an address to the Prussian Embas sador, congratulating him on the Prussian victories, and the city is decorated with flags in honor of them. A dispatch of the sth, from the Italian headquarters; says: “Considering it expe dient to deprive the Austrians of the tete du pent at Borgoforte, on the right bank of the Po, we have commenced operations for an attack.” Severe engagements have taken place between the Prussians and Bavarians near Dermbach, in Saxe-Wermer, in which the latter were repulsed, and the Prussians oc cupied Dermbach in force. The Prussians captured eight positions, and were ad vancing victoriously. The London Times , of the 7th, says there is too much reason to fear that hostilities will be resumed in both the theatres of war. If so, Austria will be unable to withdraw any considerable number of troops from Yenetia, and unless sheltered by the aegis of France, may soon be compelled to hear terms of peace dictated by Prussia in her own capital. The Florence journals consider the Aus trian proposals inadmissible. They re gard the cession of Yenetia as a strategem to isolate Prussia, enabling Austria to re sume hostilities against Italy. They de clare that Italv will not lend herself to such proceedings. _ The cession of Yenetia to France with a view to its subsequent cession to Italv, would be a violation of national rights and submission to a for eigner. Italy will owe Venice to her arms alone. ... The Daily News compares the cession of V enetia to France as an act of a debtor who makes away with his property when , t!ie , e 3' e of bankruptcy. There is a want of frankness about the Austrian Govern ment that is fitted to exasperate Prussia. If Austria wants the army corps in Italy near V enetia to make better terms. Prussia cannot be expected to aid her in setting them at flinty. There is no doubt but that the refusal of French mediation would be a very serious event, but it would not be safe to conclude too abruptly that the pow erful word of Napoleon will instantly re store peace in Europe. The hines remarks, the next questions are whether the Emperor Napoleon will back his tender of good offices by a threat of armed interference, and whether, in any event, he will be contented with part stake holder or wih act upon principles appar ently foreshadowed in his letter to 31. Drouyn de 1 Huys ? Does he regard him sdf as simple trustee of Yenetia for Italy, or will he make his own terms before trails ferring it ? Will he submit to witness the aggrandizement of Prussia in Northern Eu rope without demanding anv fresh rectifi cation of the Eastern frontier of France? Or will he invite the Great Powers to aid in anew partition of the Continent, based on the rights of nationalities and national boundaries? Georgia.

L REMEMBER That this Bitters is not alcoholic, contains no ruin or whiskey, and cannot make drunkards, but Tonic is the word. READ WHO SAYS SO. ******* (From Rev. W. P. Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist Church, Philadelphia.) Gentlemen: I have recently been laboring under the dis tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration c* the nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but without relief. Your Hoofiand’s German Bitters were recommended by persons who -had tried them, and whose favorable mention or these Bitters induced me to try them. 1 must confess that 1. had an aversion to Patent Medicines from the “thousand and one” quack Bitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the community in a sly way, and the ten dency of which, 1 fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation, I took it with happy effect. Its action, not only upon the stomach, but upon tne nervous system, was prompt and grati fying. 1 feel that I have derived great and permanent benefit ffrom the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully yours, W. D. .Seigfried, No. 254 Shackamaxon street. Jk. ' (jom the Rev. E. Dr. Fendall, Assistant EdltorJChristia Chronicle, Philadelphia.) I have derived decided benefits from the use of Hoofiand’s German Bitters, and feci it my privilege to recommend them as a most valuatle tonic to all who are suffering from a general debility, or from diseases arising from derangements of the liver. Yours truly, E.l>. Fendall. (From. D. Merrige, Pastor of the Paasyunk Baptist Church, Philadelphia.) From the many respectable recommendations given to Dr. Hoofiand’s German Bitters. I was induced to give them atrial. After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the si omach. D. Meebige. (From Rev. William Smith, formerly Pastor of theVincen town and Milville (N. J.) Baptist Churches.) Having used in my family a number of bottles of your Hoof land’s German Bitters, I have to say that I regard them as an excellent medicine, specially adapted to remove the diseases they are recommended for. They strengthen and invgorate the system when debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss cf appetite, etc. I have also recommended them to several of my friends, who have tried them, and found them greatly beneficial in the restoration of health. Yours truly, Wm. Smith. 966 Hutchinson street, Philadelphia. TV (From the Rev. Joseph 11. Kennard, Pastor of the Tenth Bap tist Church.) I have been frequently requested to connect my name with commendaiions or different kinds of medicines, but regarding the practice as out of my appropriate sphere, I have in all cases declined j but with a clear proof in various instances, and par ticularly m my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoofiand’s German Bitters, 1 depart for once from my usual, course, to ex press my full conviction that, for general debility of the system and especially for liver complaint, it is a safe ana valuable pre paration. In some cases it may fail, but usually, I doubt not it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above causes. Yours, very respectfully, J. H. Kznnaed, Eight ,below Coates street. Philadelphia, Dec. 24,1564. Rev. J. S. Herman, of the German Reformed Church. Kutz town. Berks county, Pa., was cured of Dyspepsia of twenty years standing. A. M.
