The Fort Smelling swindlc.

Mr.. Heskell. Virginia friend Of Gov.
Floyd's, gives the following innocent ac-
count of the manner in which he became
interested in the sale Of Fort Smelling,
by invitation from the Secretary of War.
''Cov. Floyd and ran race for the Leg
islature Of Virginia in 1855, against the
Know Nothings, and when the Governor got
place in the Cabinet, / said 20 him one
morning: Now, old fellow, we have had
rather hard fight of it together, against
the Know Nothings here, and when you get
in office you must not forget me; want you
to give ME place; want one that will pay
not less than 81, 900 or IS ,00e year; don't
want anything else.' Said he. We'll, old
boy in his way, to me, 'if ] can do anything
for you, you shall have it, After he had
been here i'm Office for two or three weeks, lie
wrote o letter TO me, there is nothing here
that you would want. There is no office in
my gift, or in the gift OF the President, that
you would have Some time in the month
of April, he wrote me that he had little
business tor me to do that would pay my ex-
wrote to him, Il do not want to do anything
that will not pay WE'LL" -..
He made his appearance in Washing
ton, and was appointed by his old friend,
Secretary Floyd, as one Of the Commits
sioners for the sale Of Fort Smelling. As
he had declared that he wanted no posi-
ton that would not pay 5000 per year,
it is presumed he realized at least the
equivalent Of that sum in the Fort Smell.
linz Corp,n;cSionerShin
The Committee of the House have re-
ported the sale void, for the following
reasons: .
/. THIS Reservation is still needed fol
military purposes, and therefore should moi
have been sold at all. The military author
tiles whose views should have controlled THU
matter were not even consulted.
.. 1t was sold far below its value.
i 8. 1t was surreptitiously and unfairly sold
none but those connected with or benefited
by the transaction being allowed to know
that the land was in market.
A. 1t was sold in lump-some seven Il
ten thousand acres-when the laws forbi,
such sale, requiring q survey of all publi
lands into sections, and their sale in lega
subdivisions of sections.
8. 1t was sold mainly on credit, contrar,
to law, which requires all public lands to b
sold for cash only.
6. BY the contract Of sale, a decd is to b
given for this tract on the payment Of tn
first installment of the purchase money
without even requiring n mortgage, Will
the laws forbid the issuing of a deed or pat
ent for public lands sold until the entir
| price shall have been paid.

STRANGE DIsAPPEARANCE.-The Lou
isville Courier says that John Ward, a
pilot, who had been to this city with q
raft Of lumber. where he had landed it,
took passage on the Scioto, last week,
on his return home to Louisville. When
the boat was near Troy, he suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared. He had his
crew with Eim, and all were on deck
When missed by his friends, and search
was made for him, they were told he
had just fallen overheard. This they
thought very singular, as it was not
known how, or where he fell overheard,
and no effort was made to save him. He
had fifty dollars or more in his possession
and the impression prevailed that he
had been killed and thrown overheard,
after first being robbed of his
money. The authorities of Louisville
are making vigilant efforts to ascertain
the facts in the case. He is said to have
been slightly intoxicated at the time, but
not too much to take care of himself. He
leaves wife and two children destitute

An Important Discoyery.

DIR. Pell. young physician of Lon
don, who has within few years acquir.
ed wide fame by his successful cure of
cancer, has published the secret Of his
treatment, and mis- mode of cure has
been successfully practiced in this coun>
try. DR.. Pell is the physician to whom
Crawford, the Sculptor, resorted in the
last stages of his disease, but not till the
roots of the fungus that destroyed his
life had reached the brain. The moce
of treatment is described as follows:
ga piece of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with q circular piece cut out OF
the center little larger than the cancer, SO
that the cancer and a small circular rim OF
healthy skin next to it were exposed. Then
a plaster made of chloride of zinc, blood
root aud wheat flower, was spread on a
piece of muslin of the size Of this circular
opening, and applied to the cancer for TWEEN
ty-four hours. On removing it the cancer
will be found to be burnt into, and appear
of tho color and hardness of an old shoe
sole, and the circular rim outside of it will
appear white and.parboiled, as if scalded by
hot steam. The wound is now dressed, ano
the outside rim soon suppurates, and thu
cancer comes ont a hard lump, and the place
| heals up. The plaster kills the cancer 81
that it sioughs out like dead flesh, and new
er grows again. The remedy wns discover
ed by DIR. Fell, of London, and has beer
used by him for six or eight years, with un-
failing success, and not a case has beef
known OF the temperance of the canoe
where this remedy has been applied"

The Baltimore Gazette, an independ
ent paper-published in middle slave
understanding midway between the
extreme fanaticism Of the North and that
Of the South, says the reflex Of public
opinion of the country is decidedly
against Enslish's Kansas bill. 1t says:
Even those partizans of the Democratic
faction who claim to be honest and independ-
cnt in their views, oppose it as fraudulent
and unconstitutional; whilst all unbiased
persons are free to pronounce the measure q
bride in order to sustain the Administration:
and not few are rather inclined to the opin-
ion that bribery has already been practicej
to place the matter in its present condition
| This looks plausible, and with so forcible an
array Of circumstantial testimony, strong al
most as ocular demonstrativc proof, we can
but draw such inference.

| part Of the conntry-if we expect fow sub
servient concerns, whipped in and misled by
the hope OF rcward-arc strong IN denuncia-
ton OF this unjust measure. IL meets neither

holding out almost irresistible inducement.

A National Foundry.

Secretary Floyd in his report present
ed to Congress, urges the necessity OF
establishing National Foundry, and
adduces the following reasons:
A well-managed national foundry would
very speedily develope and establish facts
viii would add immensely to our national
wealth. Ii is scarcely to be credited that.
with the infinite variety of iron ores and
their boundless extent in the United States,
we should not have yet discovered mine
capable of making the very best gun, or, il
such be discovered, that there are no means
by which the public service can be benefited
by il; but such is the fact.
A national foundry would serve as great
labor atory at which the qualities and value
of metals throughout the whole confederacy
would be tested and fixed. Every variety OF
iron, with its special adaptation to particular
uses, would, in a few years, be Familiarity
known to the country. and individual enter
| prise would be saved in experiments many
times the amount which the works would
cost, whilst q great national branch OF indus
try might, by this means, receive o legitl-
mate and efficient encouragement.
| There is but little doubt that many Anne
rican iron ores are equal at least to those oil
| Norway, and yet the national armories arc
driven by necessity to purchase from abroad
| the Norwegian iron for the manufacture o
small arms. Choosing to have ,he best quail
| ity of arms, we must 90 abroad fer the bcs
| quality of iron. A national foundry woulc
soon t. ach Us to improve the manufacture o
| iron, and we would be saved the mortitca
ton of bringing iron from abroad, and tn
money, too, We have to pay Tor it.
The cost of heavy guns you'd presently b
| 81 80 ha M
doubtedly, very materially improved.
1t is certainly reproach TO the coun
try, that with the finest and most abund
ant beds ofiron ore in the world, will
boundless forests and fields Of coal t
manufacture it, we are compelled to SEM
to the poor woodless and coallcss region
of Norway, for the iron to make our ma
tional arms. When the subject of q ma
tional foundry was under discussion te
years ago, commission Of officers an
: engineers was sent West to determIn
r the most eligible location. Their repol
was unanimously in favor Of the Lowe
Ohio, as the most central point in tt
great mineral districts, and possessir
the greatest advantages Of navigation f
distributing arms to every point of II
f Union. Whenever the subject COM
i up before Congress, the claims Of tn
c region of country should not be ne
IL lected.
