who have noticed passing events during the
last two months, will recolect that the two
officers whose names head this paragraph were
some time in last August 60 dishonorab!y dis
charged" from the U. S. Army by Gen. Wool.
We believed at the time that their discharge,
without court-martial or any sort OF examl-
nation, was high handed measure-a meas
ure not warranted by Che usages of war. The
publication from the pen of Lieut.. Singeltary,
which will be found in this weeks Journal,
must, we think, place the matter beyond a
shadow of doubt in the mind of every reader.
! We also call the attention of the reader to the
correspondence of the Baltimore Clipper in re-
laton to Lieut.. Singeltary. In addition to all
this, we learn from another source that both
these officers, Immediately on their dishonora-
bic discharge proceeded direct to Washington
and laid the whole facts of their case before
the President, supported by the strongest kind
of testimony; and We have further learned
that the President has restored them to their
| former position in the army The statement
| of facts made by Lieut.. Singehary is one Of
the most temperate productions which we have
ever seen, taking into consideration the cir
cumstances under which it is written. We
learn that an investigation of Col. Paynes
conduct will be instituted, when the whole
truth will come out. Until then, we forbear
from making those comments which this whole
affair would otherwise call from US

A few mornings since, says the Hagerstown

John Julius of our town, that doubtless has
heard tell of the ''milk of human kindness" but
evidently preferred 10 it, The milk of cow, was
discovered in the spring house of Mr.. P. b.

regaling himself upon ,ha, delightful beverage.
Annoyed a, the interruption, The animal luri-
ously assaied the little girl, biting her severe.
ly and severing the flesh from her body in
several places. Mr.. Small, who was alarmed
by the cries of The child rushed TO her rescue
and after severe fight, in which his dog took
part, succeeded in conquering and killing the
vicious animal.
In ex,enualion Of the Coon species, we deem
il necessary 10 express our fears, tina, this par
,icular one has had bad lraining-and that, by
some means, Loco Foco principles have been
insliIled into its mind. If President Polk could

two medicines, and do it much better than any
two we know Of ; for they remove nothing from the
system but the impurities; SO that while they purge
they strengthen; and hence they cause no deblll-

persons taking them do not become pale and
