SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intslligsneer publishes letter from
from Mr.. Smedes, of Mississippi, upon
that States bond paying question, urging
the liquidation Of those obligations with
much ability. The editor remarks that
while the Wings of Mississippi are advo-
eating compliance with the decision of
her highest judicial tribunal upon this
question, storm of opposition to that
policy has suddenly arisen in the Demo-
cratic ranks.
The Unions leader is powerful paper
in reply to the htelhgencer's criticism
upon its (the Union's) views on the Cuba
question. The point the editor discusses
to-day is the purposes of the British gov
eminent in this connection. To say the
least for this series ofpapers in the Union,
they are learned, eloquent and patriotic,
whatever the reader may think of the
soundness of the views they advocate.
The same journal shows that all the De-
mocratic opposition to the Administra-
ton is wholly the result of disappoint-
ment in getting Office.
The Sentinel again discusses the Pacific
railroad. The editor, also, speaking of the
prospects Of his friends, the New York
Adamantines, in the election of to-day,
gives the Administration another "dose''
Of his Independent support. Of the Ada
mantines, he says:
''The Importance thus attached to it arises
from the fact that upon its result we will be
able to understand who are the the real friends
of the Constitution and the Union. and how
many pure and tried patriots there are who,
under combination of depressing circum-
stances, stand by the principles of the Demo-
cratic party"
Of the course of the National Admins
tration towards these patriots" he also
says:
"The whole authority of the Treasury De-
partment has been interpossd, and frowns.

will indicate their integrity by repelling Free

WATER FOB WASHINGTON.

1t affords us great qualification to be
able to state that to-day ground was for
mally broken in the work of constructing
the aqueduct through which the water is
to be brought from the Great Falls, for the
supply of Georgetown and this city. We
need hardly add that this event is a sub
jsct of rejoicing on all hands. Our city
needs this improvement more than any
other. Indeed, it is the only extensive
improvement required among US at this
time, and its prosecution with prompt
ness and vigor will be anxieusly looked
for by our fellow-citizens. Fortunately,
those who now have the Government in
charge, look with earnest zeal to the
steady and rapid progress Of facilities
for the transaction of the public business
accommodating at this point, and cheer
fully give their countenance TO all plans
likely to further this object to none
with more alacrity than to the speedy
completion of these water works. Once
finished, upon the plans adopted, they
will prove of immense economy and ad-
vantage to the Government as we'll as to
all car fellow. citizens, whose individual
interests are much more closely in har-
mony with those of the Government of
the United States, than are the interests
of any others in the country. As far as
we can perceive, all things connected
with the water works improvement, are
in fair way; promising their compile
ton at the earliest possible time, and in
the most finished and permanent manner.

REMOVAL OF THR FLORIDA INDIANs.-At
meeting of the leading citizens of South

Indians, as uncalled for at the present
time, and as likely to expose the inhabi-

70 A brute by the name of Henry
Birdsong, living in Sussex county, Va,
whipped one of his slaves to death on
Thursday last. An exchange in noticing
this fiendish act, says:
upon the slave making bis appear.
ance in the chamber, Mr.. B. called him
to an account for disobeying his order.
Fearing chastisement, the negro ran out
of the house. Mr.. B. followed him, but
finding the man too fleet of foot, he put a
ferocious bull dog upon the track Of the
fugitive, and soon enjoyed the savage sat
isfaction of seeing the dog tear and LAGER
ate the poor fellow. Mr.. Birdsong then
tied the slave, and beat him so unmerci-
fully as to cause death in few hours"
Birdsong has been arrested and con-
veyed to the county prison, and we trust
will meet the murderer's fate.

that rule is to the House like laws of Modes;

oUACk MEDICINES.

Inanoher column viii be found the pro
cecdings of the druggists of Richmond in re-
gard to the extraordinary bill which has been
reported TO the Senate, requiring that the m
gradients of all medicines, commonly called
quack medicines, or, in other words, such
medicines rs are not prepared after pre-
scription by enc of the medical faculty, shall
be inscribed in English upon the outside of
the bottle or package, containing the medi
cine. The members of the medical profess
sion are OF course to be allowed the priyi-
lege of making up their prescriptions in hye-
roglyphics, which it would puzzle Champol-
lion to discipher. The passage of such law
would simply break up every druggist in the
Commonwealth, and throw the trade they
now enjoy from the South into other States,
and injure the revenue of treasury which
is by no means suffering from plethora. We
have no idea that any such measure can for
a moment receive the sanction OF the Lcgis-
lature.
We have great respect for the medical pro-
fession, and rejoice in anything which tends
to elevate its standing and influence. But
that elevation should be based Upon its intrin-
sic merits, and not upon the downfall of ri
val interests. There are different schools of
medicine which are at war upon the very
fundamentals of the faith, and when they
have come to agree it will be time enough to
exterminate the outsiders. At present, it is
asking a little too much, it seems to us, to de-
mand the passage of law, by which people
suffering from indispOsition of any kind, shall
be compelled to so to Il regular physician or
else remain sick and perhaps die. This is Il
| free country and if people choose to take
quack medicines, no power on earth has u
right to for bid them. If these medicines are
really injurious, the medical gentlemen ought
to be glad of it, for the victims at last will be
thrown upon their hands, and contribute
their portion to elevate the standard of sci
| ence and the dignity of the profession Ii,
| on the other hand, some of these medicines
are valuable, and render in certain eases
substantial relief, the physicians ought to re-
.j0ice in the benefit which is conferred upon
| humanity. Even if there's no real virtue in
any of them, and all their cures are effected
| by Imagination, 10 matter, so they are cured.
| We doubt whether quacks are the only prac-
| titioners who avail themselves OF the imagi-
nation of the patient TO aid in his restoration
to health
After all, medicine of any kind has very
little to do with the cure OF most Of the cases
in which medical advice is sought We
heard one of the ablest physicians Of Rich
mond remark, not long ago, that the princi-
pal use of medicine is to amuse the patient,
while Nature is curing him" Why not per
nit him, then, To amuse himself in his own
way?
We doubt very much whether quack me-
dicines interfere, to any great extent, with
the practice of the regular physicians. At
any rate, no government, even the most dcs-
potic, would undertake to prescribe for its
people what kind of medicine they shall
swallow.
