After leaving Gllbter-town, Camp bell moved steadily toward the point at which he proposed to meet Wil liams, and by night-fall had accomp lished about one half of the journey. The march furnished Henry Lindsay unalloyed pleasure. Every incident belonging to it awakened the fancies which he had Indulged in reference to military life, and he was delighted in the contemplation of this actual ac complishment of some of the many dreams of glory which his boyish ro mance had engendered at home. Be sides, being a favorite of those in command, he was allowed to ride in the ranks whenever it suited his pleasure, and to amuse himself with what subject of interest the journey afforded: whilst, at the same time, he found his personal ease so much at tended to as to leave him but little room to complain of the discomfort or toil of the campaign. The night was spent in the woods ; and it was scracely day-break, when the exhilarating though harsh clamor of the horns summoned the troops to the renewal of their jorney, which was pursued until the afternoon, when, about four o’clock, they reach ed the border of the tract of country known as the Cowpens.

Campbell was enabled to descry a considerable body of cavalry, whose standard, dress, and equipment, even at this distance, sufficiently made known to him their friendly charact er,—a fact that was immediately af terwards confirmed by the report of some videttes, who had been station ed upon the road by which Campbell advanced. A brief interval brought the two parties together, and the force of the allied bands was thus augmented by the addition of our gal lant friend Williams, at the head of four hundred sturdy companions. Henry, delighted at the notice he had received, rode off with alacrity to spread the news.

Hutchinson, a leading banker and broker of Boston, with offices at 8 Congress Street, in that city, has recently come out with a very strong statement. In the widespread discussion over Cooper’s new theory and medicines which has spread over the country so rapidly, Mr. Hutchinson has taken the side of those who say that Cooper’s theory is correct and his medicine all t.iat he claims. Mr. lutchlnson’s emphatic state ment is as follows: “Anyone afflicted with chronic ill health and a general run-down condition caused by stomach trouble, who does not try this man Cooper’s medicine, is very foolish. I say this after a most remarkable ex perience with the medicine. “I heard of Cooper’s success first when he was in Chicago, as I have a private wire to that city in connection with my business. Later, when he came East, I learned more of him and his theory that stomach trouble causes most ill health. I ha- e had no faith in anything not prescribed by a phy sician for each particular case after careful diagnosis, but after eight years of constant suffering, during which time I spent over $1,500 with abso lutely no relief. I felt that it would at least do no harm *o try the medicine which I was hearing so much about. “During these eight years I have been forced to go without solid food for five and six weeks at a time. I always had a sour stomach, was troubled with formation of gas, and led the usual miserable life of the dys peptic. I was dull, tired, nervous and gloomy all the time, and was always constipated. “I have taken Cooper’s medicine a comparatively short time. For the past month I have not had the slight est sign of stomach trouble. I can eat anything with no bad effect whatso ever. I have a fine appetite, am gain ing flesh very rapidly, am cheerful, full of energy, and my nervousness has disappeared. My bowels are in perfect condition for the first time in eight years. “I don’t hesitate to say that I \K>uld not take $50,000 and be back where I was.
