New ORLEANR, August l, ls4I

New ORLEANR. August l, 1916.
A transport has just arrived with the
Mobile volunteers under Gen. Desho, who
have been discharged by General Tavlor
by orders Of ihe War Department, as have
also ALL the Louisiana volunteers, six
other companies more Of Alabama volun-
teers, and the st. Louis legion. The
two regiments from this place under Col
Peyton and Fca;herston arc discharged
becSuse the Department do not consider
them in service under any existing law.
These are the two extra regiments that
Gen. Games accepted under his own au-
thorlty, over and above the requisition of
Gen. Taylor. The other volunteers are
discharged because they would not extend
their term OF service TO twelve months, or
during the war, when thev were regular
3 and legally accepted for six months,
and had made all their business and 9th
er arrangements for an absence Of that pc
riod.
The Mobilians, under Desha. mustered
and entered the service, and left that place
in SIX HOURS after they had advice of
Gen. Taylor's critical situation, and en-
barked from this city even ahead of any
Of the Louisiana volunteers; and now they
are turned adrilt in this wayl So gener-
al and great is the indignation that out Of
all those from Louisiana, Alabama, and
Missouri, that have fallen under the oper-
alton OF this proceeding, am informed
not single man viii remain, under the
Invitation Of Gen. Taylor TO form new
companies Of such as were willing to stay
on the terms prescribed.

We believe that there is but single
public Journal in Philadelphia that atlvo-

unanimous. Everywhere the language of

throughout Pennsylvania. The people

ed at the last election, we need but invite
attention to the following, from one af the
leading organs Of the Polk party;
From the Dem. Union, June 5, 1914.
@COL. POLK AND THE TARIFF
A VILE WHIG FALSEHOOD.
..We perceive that the Harrisburgh In
telligencer, with the mendacity so emf

denounces Col. Polk in advance as an

thority of this gratuitous assertion Is, OF

Thus then before the election, the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania were told that James
X. Polk was the especial friend of the coal
and iron interest, and was opposed to the
reduction Of the present Tariff. They
voted for him under such circumstances,
and assisted in elevating HIM 10 the Pres
idennal chair. And what is the result
Pennsylvania has been betrayed. The
Tariff Of ~ has been sacrificed, and the
protesiations Of our manufacturers, me-

have been laughed to scorn.-Phila. In

FAY Grophobia, sc.

writer in the National Intelligcncer
si3es the following account as the result
of an experiment tried by him to cure the
bites of mad dogs and venomous reptiles.
We cammend the article TO the special at
tenuon of Physicians.
During my residence in the Brazils IN
1914, and subsequently,, frequently wit
messed the distressing and fatal effects
arising from the bite Of rattlesnakes, scor-
piens, and other venomous reptiles, that
abound in tropical regions. 1t often oc-
CURED to me that an application which
would decompose chemically the virus
thus insmuated, would Immediately alter
and destroy its deleteriousness.
With this view / used aqua ammonia to
the bite of a scorpion, IN the first instance,
and found II removed pain and infama-
ton almost Instantly ! then extended
II to the bite of the rattlesnake, with the
same success. Being now certain of its
efficacy, recommended it to several
planters in the interior, who never after
wards lost slave in this way, although
death had always been the inevitable
result before.
Reasonine from analogy, ultimately
came to the conclusion that the venom of
such animals and the virus of others in
state Of rabidness were probaly very SIM
liar, from their sym ptoms and results, so
that about 1915 | wrote an article on the
subject, which, to the best ofmy recollec-
ton, / forwarded to the Philosophical
Transactions. In this l suggested that
aqua a.nmoni would be likely TO produce
the same chemical change in the virus in
cases of hvdropho5ia, and, if SO, il would
prove an effective remedy against that
evil
On nv return 10 England in 1926 an
old friend and physician informed me
that he had, in consequence, frequently
used il, and always with success. The
incisious should be constantly bathed
with Ii; and three or four doses, diluted,
taken inwardly during the day. The
knife and lunar caussic are never needful,
and, at the very best, are but a doubtful
remedy, as neither can reach the interior
abzorbents nor the general circulation.

TIE California Regiment.

It appears that the volunteers for Cali
fornia, who are at presest encamped on
Governors Island, are not quite willing TO
60 further than they have gone--at least
upon the faith Of the promise which the
1 Government has made to them. 1t was
/ the genercl impression that after the term
of their enlistment expired, they were to
receive grants OF land in California as a
reward for their services. OF course this
intention implied that California was TO
be made an integral part of the Union, Ell
ther by conquest or purchase; but the con-
difions Of acceptance, TO which each vol
unieer has subscribed, make the destina-
zion Of the volunteers perfectly indefinite
and the locations Of the grants of land e.
quaily matter Of doubt. 1t looks as if
there had been deceit, and the impress
sions made on the minds Of the volunteers
are, it is said, of the most unfortunate
character. Many Of them would like, We
~ much, to return and quit the uncertain
chance in the West, for which they have
pcrilled all, 10 renew the soberness of
St|eul iliC III biC glCdl AAdSlCiH CITY lIOll
whence they have been drawn.
Besides, we do not sec what necessity
there is for going TO conquer California,
settle Oregon, Or any thing of the kind
Mr.. Polk has declared that the prominent
difficulty with Mexico TO overcome is
boundary line. There is no need Of sell
ding a large body of troops SO far, when,
in all probability, peace will be declared
before they get far enough TO see the wa
ters OF the Atlantic meet those of the Pa
clfic. And, if we must have California,
1t is infinitely better to purchase it honest
ly than to turn war which, in its incep-
ton, was intended only for defence of
the ground lying between the Nueces and
the RloGrande,in war of conquest for
national aggrandizement and enlargement

chase il, emigrants viii of their own ac-
cord settle ii fast enough.-U. S. Gaz.

Another Fraud fsp Progress.

Great efforts are now being made 10
induce the enemies of the British Tariff
to vote for the Locofoco Free Trade can
didate for Canal Commissioner, in oppo-
sition to James M. Power, and steadfast
friend of the Tariff of 1912. Even some
fthose who pretend to be opposed to
the British Tariff, urge upon It's enemies
to vote for the Bradford county Free
Trade candidate for Canal Commissioner
and bury the Tariff question, and all pop
ular indignation against the Free Traders,
by giving them victory in Pennsylvania,
to be heralded over the Union! Such
councils can have little weight with sensi-
BILE and right thinking men. They will
be spurned with indignation, and those
who ure them, set down as British Free
Traders in disguise. The freemen Of
pennsylvania cannot be deceived and be-
trayed again, now when smarting under
her own credulity. The bow of hope is
only in strait forward course.--Pa.

The Mormon E2Daigrants.

The St. Louis New Era of the 7th
says:-"The General Brook arrived yes
terday from the mouth of the Yellow
Stone whence she left OH the 7th July.
The water was falling, with scant four
feet in the channel. The Brook has
been gone seventy-fve DAYS on the trip,
in beng $500 miles from ST. Louis. She
met the Clermont 100 miles above Coun-
ell Bluffs. At Council Bluffs they learn
ed that five hundred Mormon wagons had
crossed and gone on towards Fort Lara
mie, and one thousand more were ready
10 cross. They had planted barley and
huckwheat near Council Bluffs. The
foremost parties expected TO winter near
Fort Laramie, and the balance on the
Plate river. 3 At Fort Leavenworth, on
the North side, they passed the five hun
dred Mormons who had joined the army.
The distant prairics were much burned,
and the buffalo ranged low down towards
the settlements. Plenty Of buffalo were
found two hundred miles above Council
Bluffs. The boat brought down some
live buffalo, elk and grisly bear, and
also the stuffed skin of a grisly bear
larger than the largest OK; it was killed in
the act of carrying off buffalo that it
had caught coming out of the river. The
boat brought down large quantity of
fars, robes and peltries for Pierre Chou
teau, Jr. d Co."

The Mechanics Aroused!

No better argument could possibly be
adduced in favor of the Wing Tariff OF
1912, than was exhibited at the Locofoco
comfy meeting on Tuesday. When ii
was annonced at the Depot workshops,
and the various manufacturing establish
ments in town, that the wire-workers in
tended to pass resolutions approving Of
the British bill, thee hundred Demo
crafs, by simultaneous impulse, threw
down their their tools, gave three cheers
for the Tariff of 1912, and proceeded in a
body, in their working clothes and with
their sleeves rolled up, to the Court
House, with fixed determination to vote
down every attempt to bolster up the
ruinous measures of the Administration.
These men have learned by bitter expert
ence that the professions and theories OF
Locofocoism are false and ruinous. They
had tested the Tariff of '42-lound it all
they could desire, and were resolved to
stand by it in defiance Of party dictation.
They have taken noble stand, and we
trust they will nobly maintain it.-Read-

Trounsc about the snbtresury.


twas the intention of Congress not
to let the Subsreasury act go into opera
ton before the firstot January next, but,
by carelessness in the wording OF the
bill, it turns out that it went into effect I'M
mediately on its passage, except as to ihe
provision in relation TO specie payments,
which is postponed till the lst OF January
next. And even here there was mis-
take made, it is alleged; by which the act
of 1889 was revived or keptin force, and
this act allows specie only to be received
in payments to the Government! A cor
respondent of the New York Evening
Post gives the following account of the
bill, which is, no doubt, on Treasury au-
thority. Baltimore Patriot.
San examination Of the Subtreasury
has led TO the conclusion thatit goes into
effect Immediately, so far as TO prevent
the treasurers OF. receivers from deposit
ing or keeping any money III the banks,
or any where but in the vaults OF the Gov
ernment. 1t does not require that specie
shall alone be received for public dues un-
til the first of January next. But it leaves
no discretion as to places of deposite. Ii.
as is alleged, the act Of 1889 is still in
force, nothing but specie can now be re-
ceived. The balances at present in the
banks cannot be transferred to other de-
positories until the first Of April next
Such was not the intention of those who
framed the law, yet so it reads. An over
sight Inconsistent with dates has been the
cause Of this mistake. What measures
the Administration win adopt for state
of circumstances for which they were not
provided, and which were not expected,
