What a pit}! THE NEWS. It is now claimed that, in the engage- ; ment at Petersburg on Saturday, 3590 ; rebels were taken prisoners The figures I given yesterday were 500. Two Feder- : el G-n°rals—Bartlett and Wild — were captured by the rebel-. The Federal 1 loss’ is believed to he 2.530, exclusive of the missing.” As to the number of missing, no estimate is given. Both ar-I mi.s occupy about the same positions as I before the engagement. A truce was | prevailing yesterday, and parties were engaged in bringing in rhe wounded and hurrying the dead President Lincoln and G-n Grant were in consultation at Fortress Monroe on Sunday. The rebel invasion of Pennsylvania rippears to have come to an end Noth 1 ing definite is hoard of th? raiders, and the belief is entertained that they have recrossed the Potomac. There is a re-1 port which lacks confirmation that Av. orill and Kelly have gained a victory in the vicinity of Cumberland Md. Gen. Hood, the commander of the reb-1 el army at Atlanta, issued an address to his soldiers on the 25th ult, in which he sai l "Experience has proved to you : that safety in time of battle consists in, getting into close quarters with the ene ; my. Guns and colors are the only unerring indications of victory. The valor of the troops is easily estimated by thoke secured. If your enemy be allowed to continue the operation of flanking you out of position, our cause is in peril — Your recent brilliant success proves your ability to prevent it. You have but to will it, and Go 1 will grant us the victory ■which your commander and your country no confidently expect. About a thousand Federal prisoners, maiolv of lowa and Indiana regiments, arrived at New Orleans on the 24th ult. ; from Tex is, having been exchanged—; Most of them have been io captivity for | over a year. Richmond papeis state that Vance, the ' government candidate baa been reelected Governor of North Carolina. Five or six hundred Indians are thrat■ming Fort Larned, New Mexico.

The garrison as tiie Fort numbers only about seventy five men -ChicagoTimes, Aug. 3 A terrific tornado swept over the city, of Columbus. Ohio, on Wednesday afternoon. Trees and fence* were thrown down and several buildings unroofed. ' The sheet iron on the roo< of Neil's building on the corner of High and Gay streets, was ripped off by pieces, and carried into the middle of the street where they fell with loud crashes. The roof of the school house on Long street was lifted and carried a considerable distance. The gale swept acroso the valley leveling the corn to the ground and doing great damage to the crop. The rain fell in torrents. Dr. Itoback’s Constituents. We learn that the distinguished and popular inventor of those famous Scan- i piuavian Remedies the Blood Pills bnd Blood Purifier, advertised in our business columns receives nearly as many letters by everv mail as the Treasury Department. The average is more than 200 par dav! His patients scattered over the broad West the Southern States and New England are said to reach the en-1 urinous and almost incredible aggregate of 100,000! By his patients we mean those whs use his preparations as their only medicines. We persume that such a connection is without a parallel in Medical history.

BRANDRETH'S PILLS. While brandreth’s Pill are so potent for good diseased bodies they are hermless as bread, The babe at the breast or the man of ripes years and delicate females are certain to receive an increase of health (torn the use of these Pills blessed of heaven. It has been said by an aided physicirn, that‘this medicine always benefits and never injures.’" Wherein is the supeilalive quality. The Brandreth Pills have no power or action but upon impure humors in the blood. They seize only the .impurities in and around the parts affected by disease; all the parts involved in diseased actions are operated upon and cleanced from al) foulness and reinfused with •Life,’ by the wonderful curative powers contained and inherent of the most justlv famed Brandreth’s Pills. Millions of people whose lives appeared to be at the last ebb, worn out by fever’s consuming fires, by consumpt ion’s insidious advances by racking torments of inflammatory rheumatism, have been cured by the use of these pills. The persons are living witnesses and thous. ends are residents in everv city of America. Principal Office, No. 291 Canal Street New York. Sold by T T.
