In Europe this medicine has long enjoyed the
reputation of curing all these troublesome COM

offered to the public.
A preparation, therefore like the present one and

The New York Herald speaks as follows
of the bonding system by which the CAPT
talss of England are getting control OF
almost every government on earth. We
need hardly remark that we agree with
every word Of it.:
This system of holding the freedom OF
independent republics on debentnre, is be.
coming nuisance. The unholy traffic
is unblnshingly carried on in broad day
light. and the liberties OF a people, pur-
chased by years OF toll, by hardShips and
by blood, are treated as matters of bargain

Our friend of the Mississippi Democrat
expresses surprise that we should have
shown any favor to Mr.. Calhoun's position
that to communities, not to aggregate ma
Jorltles, belongs the true sovereign power.
We are equally surprised to learn from this
that our contemporary is not an advocate for
the great doctrine of State Rights for up
on this maxim of Mr.. Calhoun rests the
whole fabric OF State Rights, and to hold
the reverse of this is to hold that our re-
pubi:canIsm IS the worst species of a con-
solldated despotism, in which bare ma
Jority OF votes of the country in aggregate
Is to rule absolutely. Our friend and our

HF The editor of the Sentinel, it seems
TO US, forgets the distinction between the

are founded upon, and refer solely to the
relations of the States to the General Go

the Constitution, we should consider it at
war with the State Rights doctrine, and

the manner referred tc by the Sentinel
The doctrine is very well in its application
to the States as members of the confedera-

The GEORGIA REGIMENT. 1t was with
great satisfaction we read the able and
conclusive defence of the Georgia Regi-
ment generally, and OF Capt. Mcmahon
in particular, against the charges of riot,
INSTRUMENTATION and bloodshed, in the af-
fair in which Col. Baker, of Illinois, was
badly wounded. This defence is written
by the talented young Colonel of the Reg
iment, ii. X. Jackson, and shows salts
iaclorily that beyond little fsticuffing en-
counter between some of the men of two
of The companies Of the Georgia Regi-
ment, nothing serious had taken place TO
justify the interference of Col. Baker and
the Illinois Regiment. This interference,
though evidently well intended, was very
indscreet; and we cannot see how Capt
McMahon could have acted otherwise than
have resented command from an officer,
a perfect stranger to him, when, too, he
was obeying the orders of his own proper
officer, and had succeeded in quelling the
disturbance among his men. The whole
affair resulted from misconception and
unnecessary alarm growing out of little
row among soldiers breaking up their
camp at night We were happy TO learn
that but two persons lost their lives in the
tumult, instead of the half a dozen as re-
ported by the etter.writers, and that the
wounded have all recovered. Delta.
