A Visit to Cort Pillow- iv I tli General
Korr.,?.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial has been to Fort Pillow,
in company with Gen. N. B. Forrest,
and writes a long account of the trip,
from which we make the following
extraot:
* * * , "I left this city in com?
pany with General Forrest; for Fort
Pillow, sixty-five miles above Mem
p bia.
j . * * "Climbing npon the
gross-grown ridge that was once a
breast-work, we sat down alone, I to
write a description of the ground, thc
General to refresh his memory upon
the movements of his troops.
* * * ''"When I hod finished
writing, I looked up, and the Genera
said: * * * *I waited until the
twenty minutes had expired, and see
ing no evidence of a surrender, J
ordered a charge. My men ot once
charged into the ditch, and, by i
hand to hand fight, drove the enomy
still fighting, over the bluff. Whet
the charge was sounded, a portion o
my men went down there under th*
bluff, and charged those who jumpec
down the bank. As soon as we wen
in the works, I turned one of thei
six pieces of artillery upon the gun
boat, whioh I sow was preparing t<
giving us a volley, my shot strikini
her on the wheel-house. While thi
firing was going on, my men tinde
the bluff, seeing the flag still waving
kept up the fight; and it was no
until the flag was cut down that the;
knew, I had possession of the fort
This saw the taking-and now for th
massacre. There were with me man;
citizens who had been wronged, and
I think, without waiting for the sm
render of the men who had wronge
them ' and their families, they she
them down. "When I found out thu
they were doing this, (understand
this was during the twenty minute
of the engagement, and not after th
capture,) I ordered it stopped, an
was compelled to shoot one of m
own men who did not obey m
promptly. The Whole force of tb
garrison numbered in all 557 troop

SPECIAL NOTICES^
HITTERS-THE HUMAN STO?
MACH seems to riquiro a tonic stimulant.
From timo, whorcof tho niemery of man
runneth not to tho contrary, tonic bitters
havo been used. Formerly, men made
their own bitters, and few thought of eat?
ing breakfast without first taking their
"tansy." Those were days, however,
when prohibitory laws wore unknown, and,
in consequence, liquors were pure. Deal?
ers could then afford to bo honest and sell
nothii g but tho unadulterated. Now,
however, what with Government tax and
court fines, poko-berry juice and alcohol
must pass muster for "old ryo" and "pure
Bourbon." People have como to fear
poisoning more than malarial diseases,
and droppod their "tansy." Bight hero is
where HOSTETTER A; SMITH, of Pitts?
burgh, have proven benefactors. Years
ago, they commenced tho manufacture of
HOBTETTEB'S STOMACH BITTEBS,
laying it down as a rule (that has since
boon conscientiously followed) to uso no?
thing but the purest liquors, manufac?
tured expressly for them. By strict adhe?
rence to this rule, thoy have won public
confidence and reaped their reward in a
large, profitable and steady business.
Their BITTEBS is known all over the
country. They aro tho pioneers of tho
business, and have tho largest manufac?
tory in tho world. Nor has success, in
their caso, (as in too many instancos,)
rendered them careless; their BITTEBS
is as pure and good, to-day, as was tho
first distillation. Wo heartily recommend
them as a tonic.
As a specific for dyspepsia, biliousness,
constipation, nervousness, general debili?
ty and remittent and intermittent fevcrB,
its efficacy has nover been questioned.
There aro many worthless imitations.
Wo earnestly caution tho public aUainst

THE best investment is that which gives

THE WEEKLY GLEANER,
A I. A IK ll". EIOHT-r-AOE JOURNAL, OF

An excellent Paper for Country Reading.
ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
IN THE G UT. AT FIGHT
AGAINST RADICAL USURPATION.
TO THE rl?o^LE~o^lrnE SO UTIL
?3&
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
tho rehabilitation of the South in its former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho
low rate of $1.50 for six months.
The annals of tho American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
tho magnitude of its issues and the mo?
mentousness of its results to that for thc
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very lifo of free government is on trial,
and it will bo a sad commentary on tho
capacity of tho people for the exercise of j
that high trust if they, tho jurors who are
to try tho issue, pronounco a verdict of |
self-condomnation. If thc South has any
hopo it is in tho success of the Democratic
party in tho coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally interested in
tho progress of tho battle, and cannot
afford to be without a sound and reliable
newspaper.
As an organ, not only of sound Demo-1
eratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge?
neral newe, tho GLEANER ie confidently
commended to Southern support. A large
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filled with the contributions of able cor?
respondents, tho daily wealth of tele?
graphic communication and readable edi?
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
RH organ to disabuse tho Northern mind
of tho falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is thc
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison tho springs of Northern feeling on
Southern Bubjects. In this view of the I
matter, no more valnablo aid to tho true
reconstruction of the country and restora?
tion of just sent ?mont at tho North toward
tho South can be rendered than by sub?
scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and
sending it to acquaintances and friends in
the Northern States.
We a?k the aid of such of our political
comrades as t-hall see this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during the progress of the impending
campaign.
