fgpWBIT TBI "RKLUBLI GlSTLtXAK"
sits.?The "reliable gentleman" has been
spending some time In Western Virginia,
and has juit returned from tbe Kanawha
Valley. He says the entire coantry of tbe
Kanawha Valley is devastated, >nl that
farmers are leaving as rapidly as trans
portation ean be fonnd .to bring them
North. Forage is out of the question, and
provisions connot be procured.
The condition of the roads and country is
such that an army of 2,000 men could not
Winter there, the impossibill ty of transpor
tation being so great, and tbe risk, of
reaching the army with supplies, Ac., so
hazardous.
Tbe campaign il Western Virginia is vir
tually ended, and preparations are on foot
to withdraw a portion of our forces there,
and send them into Kentucky, leaving only
a*suflicient force to prevent tbe rebels ap
proaching north of Gauley River or west
of Cheat Mountain. The probabilities are,
however, that the secesbers have no desire
to eome tbrougb a country they already
had laid waste and le(t bnrreo.
The "R. G." would not be sorprised to
bear, within ten days, of Rosecrans being
in Kentucky.
0^MATimoxfAL.?AmoD^ the passen
gers on the steamer Woodsitle, who came
up from the vicinity of New Martinsville
od Saturday night, wu a soldier, who, we
believe, bad enlisted in Copt. RadclifTs
company. Among the passenger! by the
Sallie List, on Suadsjr, was is yonog wo
Bin from the same vicinity, to whom this
soldier bad been paying bis addresses.
The object of the visit of the yonng lady
was to compel the soldier to marry her be
fore he buckled on his armor for the war,
the previous intimacy or the parties ren
dering such a step absolutely necessary.
Whether the soldier entered the bonds of
matrimony willingly or not, we aro not
adrised, bnt on Sunday evening, at n tav.
ern in'Centee Wheeling, the ceremooy was
performed by the excellent pnstor of the
Second Presbyterian Church, after which
the new wife bade ber new husband God
?peed on hit way tn do battle for his coun
try.
t^tVusjr we allude to the Prut news
psper ud its curioui sayiogs, we do it
joit for the fun of the thing, but the writer
for that papermalces such a monstrous assof
himself in replying that we frequently feel
lorry for having been the innocent eause
?f hi* climbing so high up the pole, and ex
bibiting himself in snob a ridiculous man
ner. Our sorrow is like that which might
have been experienced by the boys who
tied long gross across a foot path for the
purpose of uptrlpping a companion, bnt
whilst lying in wait to see the fun, a man
<ara? running along on an errand of life
and death, and was thrown violently upon
Hie ground and so badly injured that he
could Dot proceed.
If this little apology to cur readers does
not cause the Prat writer to go an blatter
u* for a week longer wo shall be very
happy.
J&~Abls Bodied Max.?We ventnre to
My that there are not less than twenty
thousand quarter sheet band bills posted
about upon the houses of this city, and
?pon the fences and trees in the vicinity.
They meet tho eye at every step. Men are
wanted for the wars. Tho great feature of
the bills, the great object apparently aim.
*0 ?t Is, that the men shall be able bodied.
The persistency and prominence with
*bich this thing is insisted upon, is al
most enough to frighten and discourage
those who are not intensely able bodied.
Such as are not fearfully able bodied, have
oily to familariie themselves with a re
cruiting oncer's Idem of an able bodied
nan. Tbe bills do not mean that a man
?hall weigh a ton, or that bis muscle shall
interfere with his iocsnotion when on the
double quick.
a&*EvAociTiB rut Rakcbk.?The old
an cbe on Main street, occupied for so ma
ny years by Col. Dulty, and which is so
rividly remembered by scores of evildoers
some time ago turned its attention to fall
ing down, aad has been gradually settling
down on its ratten props until it is not fit
for occupancy. Yesterday Col. Dully beat
? retreat and rallied on bi* reserve, at No.
1S6 Market screet, where he may hereafter
*>e fouad, baring left the old macho to
tie rats which infest it.

J'lterday, incloses us the amouat of an

#?-A writer for the Pretty as a means
Df furthering an improvement, which he
humorously affects to observe in this de
partment, advises us to "step out now and
then and take a little of that two-horse
beer." We are obliged to the Preu for
these suggestion, and shall probably adopt
it; and as we desire to vie with the writer
In all his manifestations of courtesy and
good will, we here suggest, in return, that
% basin of Adam's ale and a bar of Rosin
Boap, or such a quantity of either as may
be deemed sufficient, might be very advan
tageously applied to a complaint with
which be is habitually afflicted, and at
which we vaguely hinted the other day,
through a colloquy found in David Copper
field.
I Belibyb it Saved my Lire.?Jacob
Wooster, of Bush Creek, New Sewickley
township, says:
" For two years I suffered the Vertigo,
Nausea and Headache, attending Dyspep-*
lia, sometimes so severely as to incapaci
tate me for any effort?at others, to confine
me to my bed. My bowels were so consti
pated as to oblige me to use the most pow
erful purgatives to relieve myself. Indeed,
I at last found it necessary to use some
thing of the kind constantly. Last fall I
commenced taking Beer have's Holland Bit
ters, and found it just what ray case re
quired. 'I cannot recommend it too highly,
Tor I believe it saved my life. oct4
It u a com mow observation that there
ire more sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can be found among any
other civilised nation. The reason Is ob
rious. We take too little exercise, and
forget the wants of the body in the absorb
ing pursuits of business. In all such
saseB, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required is just snch a
tonic and invigorutor as Dr. J. Hostetter
bas given to the world, in his celebrated
"Bitters." The weak and nervous deni
len of the counting house, the exhausted
toiler upon the shop-board, and the pros
trated student of the midnight lamp, have
roand a wonderful regenerator in the
'Bitters," and prefer it to more pretentious,
>ut less efficacious medicines. But it
ihould not be forgotten that the agent
irbich is so magical in its influence upon
i frame which is merely debilitated, is
?qnally powerful in assisting nature to ex
>el the most terrible forms of disease
iVho would not give it a trial ?

HOSTETTER'S
Stomach Bitters:
The proprietor* And manufacturers of H08TET- !
nCHV CBLKBRATKI> STOMACH BITTKBS ato
fcppm! with perfect confidence to physicians and dti? ?
lens generally of the United States, because the
article has attained a reputation heretofore on
known. A few facta npnn thia point will apeak more
powerfully than volumes of bare assertion or blazon
Ing puffery. The consumption of Uostetters Stom
sch Bitters tor the Isst year amounted to over a half
million bottles, and from its manifest steady increase
In times past, it is evident that during the coming
rear the consumption will reach near one million
bottles. This immense amount could never have
been sold bnt for the rare medicinal properties con
tained in the preparation, and the sanction of the
most prominent physicians in those sections of the
oountry where the article it best known, wbc cu>t
only recommend the Bitters to their patients, but
ire ready at ail times to give testimonials to its effi
cacy In all cases of stomachic derangements and the
diseases resulting therefrom.
TlUs is not a temporary popularity, obtained by
extraordinary efforts in the way ot trumpeting the
quality of the Bitters, but a solid estimation of an
Invaluable medicine, which Is destined to be as en
during as time itself.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved a Godsend
to regions where fever and ague and various other
billions complaints have counted their victims by
hundreds. To be able to state confidently that the
"Bitters" area certain cure for the Dyspepsia and
like diseases, Is to the proprietors a source - fun
UJoyed pleasure. It rem ore* nil morbid matter from
the stomach, purifies the blood, and it rts re
newed vitality to the nervous system, giving it thai
tone and energy indispensable for the restoru ion ot
health. It operates upon the stomach, liver, and
other digestive organs, mildly but powerfully, and
?oon restores them to a condition essential to the
healthy discharge of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per
directions on the bottle, and they will find in it a
Uimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
fears, as it is plsasant to the palate, invigorating to
the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvenating
generally. We have the evidence of thousands of
iged men and women who have experienced the ben
Bfltof using this preparation while Buffering from
rtomach derangements and general debility; acting
under the advice of physicians, they have abandoned
*11 deleterious drugs and fairly tested the merits ot
Lhls article. A few words to the gentler sex. There
ire certain periods when their cares are so haraaaing
chat many of them sink under the trial. The rela
tion of mother and child is 00 absorbingly tender,
that the mother, especially if she be young, is apt to
forget her own health in her extreme anxiety for her
infant. Should the period of maternity arrive dur
ing the summer season, the wear of body and mind
m generally aggravated. IJere, then, is a necessity
(or a stimulant to recuperate the energies of the
lystem, and enable the mother to bear up under her
sxbausting trials and responsibilities. Nursing
nothers generally prefer the Bitten to all other In
rigorators that receive the endorsement ofphysi
?>?n*. because it is agreeable to the taste as well as
jertain to give a permanent increase of bodily
itrengtb.
All those persons, to whom we have particularly
referred obove, to wit: sufferer! from fever and ague,
:auaed by malaria, diarrhiea, dysentery, indigestion,
oes of appetite, and all diseases or derangements of
he stomach, superannuated invalids, perwons of
tedentary occupation, and nnrsing mothers, will
?nsult their own physical welfare by giving to lloe
etter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters s trial.

[From the Cincinnati Commercial of last night.]
Latest from tbe Kanawha and Gen.
Roaeerana' Division.
Mr. Frank Pierce arrived here last night,
3n the steamer Leonora, direct from Gen.
Etosecrans' headquarters. When he left
Qauley, 12 M., Saturday last, Gen. Roae
jrans was encamped six miles distant from
Lhat point, having fallen back from the
lummit of Sewell mountain. It appears
Lhat neither army bad transportation to
get the necessary supplies, and both had
fallen back during tbe same night, for com
fort and better protection. The enemy
were encamped twenty-six miles from
Etosecrans. Lee is reported in command
Df the enemy. Our informant did not
learn their strength. When Mr. Pierce
:ome down, be met eight hundred wagons
on tbe road between Gauley and Charles
Ion with supplies. Our sick were being
sent to Charleston, Virginia, and Gallipo
lis, Ohio, as speedily as possible. The
Leonora left twenty invalid soldiers at
these points.
The Twelfth Ohio and First Kentucky
Regiments, aro at Gauley. Piatt's Zou
aves, on Saturday, moved from Camp Piatt
to Charleston. Two companies of the Sev
enth Ohio also moved from Camp Gauley
to Charleston, tbe same day.
The guerrilla parties recently infesting
the Kanawha at Red House Shoals, who
Bred into the steamer Izetta, on Friday
last, had been dispersed by an armed force
Bent after the rebel hounds by Col. Guth
rie, of the First Kentucky Regiment. The
Leonora left the steamers S. C. Baker and
Victor No. 2 at Gauley Landing. Passed
Ohio No. 2 above Charleston. Met the
Fitzhugh and Izetta, lashed together, as
cendiugthe Kanawha, below Red House,?
the point where the latter was recently at
tacked. Mr. Pierce says all is quiet along
the Kanawha. The river was falling, with
ten feet in the channel.
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
[Washington Correspondence of the N. Y. Post.]
The Baltimore and Ohio Railway compn.
py are busy in constructing the material for
iron bridges in the place of the structures
iestroyed by the rebels between Sandy
Hook to Cumberland. There seems to be a
mistaken idea afloat, to wit: that the gov
srnment expects to furnish material for the
repair of the road. This is entirely a mis
take. The government merely intimates ;
that in a few days it will be in a condition
Lo give thut military protection necessury
to the constrution of the line. The com
pany does the work and foots the bills, and
will manage it as they now do the Wash
ington branch. The directors and presi
dent, it is said, effectually cured of their
secession proclivities, inasmuch as the ro
bullion haa already cost them millions.
Mrs. Gen. MeClellau as well as could
be expected.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial of hut night.J
If Gen. McClellan had been given the
opportunity of winning a great battle on
Saturday, as seemed probable for a time
on that day, it happens that a very
young lady ot this city, might have men
lioned in after times that she was born on
the day of her father's great victory,
rhis very young lady and her mother are
said to be doing as well as could be ex
pected.
