LOWELL, Feb. I, l848.

DEAR Sir The above paragraph was sent to
me under cover Of blank envelope, without any
indication Of the paper from which il was clipped
If the article referred to myself alone, should
have allowed it to pass, as / have in other in
stances, without any notice from me- But hav-
ing observed similar suggestions in other papers,
il is, perhaps, due to the administration, and to
the distinguished general from whom nm now
widely separated, but to whom hope ever to be
united by sentiments Of respect and personal
friendship, that l furnish q correction. The
paragraph has not the slightest foundation in
truth / was never consulted by the national
Executive in relation to the matter to which it
refers. From the day my command Joined the
main army ut Puebla to the hour left the city
of Mexico, there was never q moment when the
kindest relations did not exist between the gen
eral-in-chief and myself; and trust am not
likely soon to forget or lightly appreciate the
confidence and friendship which, under all cir
cumstances, he was pleased to extend to me. l
need not say that nothing can be more un-
pleasant than for officers, who have just returned
from the seat of war, to find imposed upon them
the necessity of contradicting statements so un-
truthful and indelicate.

Another Great Man Departed.

The citizens of Cincinnati were
startled on Saturday last by the an
nouucement of the sudden demise of
Daniel Drake, M. D., one of the most
eminent physicians of this country
and of this age. He has been a resi-
dent of Cincinnati for about a half
century, and for nearly all that period
he has stood at the head of his pro-
fession. Occasionally he has been
absent discharging the duties of a
professor in the medical schools Of
Philadelphia, Lexington and Louis
vile. At the time of his death he was
Professor in the Medical College Of
Ohio, an institution which he origi.
mated, and of which he occupied for
many years the firstchair. AS pro-
found scholar and able lecturer, he
had few equals. No man in the West
has contributed so much to the science
Of medicine, or labored so successfully
to give dignity and character to the
profession as DR.. Drake. He was the
author of several valuable medical
works, and has in other ways contrib
uted much tothe literature ofthe West
He had a refined and cultivated taste
brilliant fancy, and well stored and
well disciplined mind. His mora
character was above reproach, and fol
many years he has been a professor
Of religion. 1t is peculiarly apPropri
ate that his demise should be noticed
in the Organ, as he was one Of the fir'
and most consistent and untirinl
champions Of the Temperance reform
On no suitable occasion in the priyat
or public walks of life, or in his Plac
before his medical classes, did he fai
to inculcate and enforce the doctrin
Of total abstinence from intoxicatin
drinks. His example and infiuenc
have done more than any other ma
10 commit the medical profession il

General Scott-TemperanCe

Now that the election has passed,
our motives will not be impeached for
referring to this distinguished mans
views upon the subject of Temperance.
More than thirty years ago, the Cen
eral wrote an article, occupying twelve
columns of the National Gazette, on
the Importance and necessity of re-
form in the habits and customs of our
people. He spoke eloquently of the
desolations wrought in the family
neighborhood and State, by the use of
intoxicating drinks. In alluding to
the deliverance of our country from
this curse Of curses, which he had
faith to believe would come, he SAYS: (:
1t will not be attempted to class
the enterprise herein proposed with
the great revolution which gave birth
to ourcountry and a practical example
to suffering nations +; but certainly to
break the shackles of that vice which
has held, and is likely to hold, millions
of our countrymen in a state of moral
bondage and of physical debility
would be reform only inferior in i'm
portance to that happiest and mos
glorious of human achievements"
At the time this was penned, it wa
doubtless regarded as hyperbolica
language-the ebullition of an over
wrought imagination. But now,
will generally be acknowledged, tina
this enterprise is more frequent wit
happy results than "the great revolu
ton which gave birth to our country.
In fact, in the success of the temper
dance reform is involve all that wa
great and hopeful and glorious in tn
achievements of our fathers. If TIL
revolution fails, the patriot may pr
his weeds of mourning on, and prepar
to lay this republic in the tomb.
The General, in the same article
inquiringly and anxiously asks, 81
there no antidote for this evil, no kin
preventive to the mother-Yice whic
augments, in a thousand ways, tn
general sum of human wretchedness?
"a master remedy get remains to
tosnd."

The LIQUOR Law in Salem.

There can be no doubt that the
effects ofthe new law have been high
ly salutary in Salem, though not to
so great an extent as if it had been
more vigorously executed. The City
Marshal, in a recent report to the
Mayor, states that frem the 22d Of
May to the 22d of June, there were
78 arrests and commitments in Salem
for drunkenness, and for crimes of
which rum was directly or indirectly
the cause; from the 22d of June to
the 22d of July, there were 72 comit-
ments; from the 22d Of July to the
22d of August, IL; and from the 22d
of August to the 22d of September,
tdere were %; an aggregate of COM
mitments for the first two months of
$50, and for the last two months of 35;
making difference Of 1l5. This
statement shows diminution of
drunkenness, and crime, of which
rum was the canse, to the extent of
more than three fourths.
The Marshal also states that there is
a decided improvement in the moral
condition of the poorer classes of the
community, as the reduced number
in the aims house would indicate.
I, 1t is also fact that there are fewer
persons in the Salem aims house now,
than there has been at any time for
eight or ten. years past-iewer by a
considerable number. The Marshal
also states that the Police have less
frequent now to quell drunken quar-
rels and family broiIs, than they had
! before the new law went into eopra-
| tion.-Salem Observer.

We are glad that the inquirer has
lived to see the important question an
swered in the aGsmatiye-the maslsr
remedy has been found after a lapse Of
nearly thirty years.
Public lecturers, ministers Of the
gospel, Legislators and political econo-
mists have been actively engaged for
long years in trying to arrest the
mighty food Of evil, and yet its waves
rolled on, increasing in volume and
resistless power. But the only reme-
dies proposed were curative, not "pre.
yentve." Some were snatched as
brands from the burning, but another
generation of drunkards took their
places. The old hero's question
seems almost prophetic" is there no
preventive for the mOther-yice?" The
master remedy" has been found in
the Maine Law. Its enactment and
thorough enforcement will work a rev
olution mightier and more stupendous
and glorious than the one which gave
birth to our nation. The temple n

Bishop DOane Intemperance.

We noticed, two or three weeks
since, the fact that the bench of Epis-
coPal Bishops had convened in New
Jersey, to try Bishop Doane on grave
charge presented against him by Bish.
ops Meade, of Virginia, McIlvaine, of
Ohio, and Burgess of Maine. As we
feared, the case was dismissed with
out a hearing, eight to six voting in
favor of thus disposing of the charges.
The charges were, that the Right Rev.
gentleman got drunk at his own table
and elsewhere, and that, being unable
to procure an endorsement of his notes
by one of his deacOns by fair means,
he invited him to his house, and piled
him with apple brandy until he was
intoxicated, and then procured the
endorsement. The bench of Bishops
was legally constituted, according to
the rules of the church, to try Mr..
Doane. The accusers were there
ready to sustain their charges by COM
petent witnesses, yet this pious convo-
cation Of the heads Of the church dis
missed the case without a hearing.
The ground of their action was, Of
course, that the charges were frivo.
lous. The three accusers say that
the case was disposed of "Oidsout
the slightest consideration Of It's merits. -
"The charges have not been refuted
they have not been tried, and they are
not retracted." Is Bishop beyond
the reach of law, or are drunkenness
and fraud to be tolerated in a church
functionary? The whole Episcopal
Church of the United States must suf-
fer egregiously in consequence of such
conduct on the part of their ordained
heads. Religion itself is shamefully
scandaIized, as no decent infdel would
offer an apology for one of his own
fraternity who would thus disgrace
himself. We do not know who to
It blame most, the offending dignitary,
for thus debasing himself, or his peers,
$ who pass by, sub 8iIentio, such fac
i rant misconduct, if he is really gull,
: ty, or if he is innocent, for hesitatinp
# to vindicate his honor and the wound,
# ed cause of religion. 1t is not the first
h time that the Episcopal Church have
/ showed their hostility to temperance
,, and few more such public avowal,
OF their devotion to Bacchus, will dr;v,
&c devout men from their communion.
