The Baltimore american" objects to 'the bill to
restrain and redress outrages upon the American sg
introduced BY Mr.. Douglas, as comforting dangerous
powers upon the President, and says, "praotloaIly
this bill would give the President power to make war;
and n the hands of rssh man, might at any moment
involve the country in trouble" In our opinion, there
is no danger from ths bill When "outragss" have to
be "restrained" and "redrssSsd" war has, to all in.
tents and purposes begun though it may be prompt
ly discontinued by dsavowss by tho proper authori'

THE NASHVILLE "UNION" ON GOV. WISE.
Our peighbo. of the "Whis" published in its issue
of Tuesday an extract from the Nashville "Unon,"
for which we thank the "Whg" for the article had
entirely escaped ". if we exchange with the Nash
Vile "Union," of&hich we are not certain. But to
the Nashville "Uuion," which the "Whig" says sis
the leading Democratic paper in Tennessee" Well,
this "eadng Democratic paper in Tennessee" the
aforesaid Nashville Union, is very badly informed
upon the history Of its party and much worse upon
that of Gov. Wise. 1t is true that the Democracy
ran him for Governor in Virginia. but not for the
son of the aforesaid "Union," "hoping to satisfy"
Gov. Wise, but on the contrary, hoping Gov. Wise
would "satisfy" the Democracy, by saving it from a
defeat which, but for Gov. Wise, would have swept
even the Nashville "Union" from its position Of "the
leading Democratic paper in Tennessee"
The "eadng Democratic paper in Tennessee" is
badly informed upon the history Of its party in Vr
gins, when il says that Gov. Wise "~anted the De.
mocracy of his STATE to press him for the Presiden.
cv" in 1856; but fer the efforts Of Gov. Wise, the
Democracy of the State would have gone for Gen.
Pierce. TIE djstribution Of the patronage of Mr..
Bueaanan's administration has never been attempt
ed or sought by Gov. Wise. He has neuer songm to
"supplant Mr. Hunter ia The Senate"
These are allegations made by the ''leading Demo.
cratic paper In Tennessee" which, il true, are all
susceptible of proof and, unless sustained, that
they have been denied the "leading Democratic pa
per in Tennessee must stand before the public a
wful and unprovoked calumnator OF q distinguished
leader of its party-a man who has done "the State
much service"-sud whose zeal, fidelity and effcen
cy in party service msrted and received the paudts
of the nation in 1885, 1t is true, son Of Governor
Wise in the Enquirer" but the author Of this is no
son OF Governor WISE and he can assure the Union
that it will never see the flag Of the enemy floating
from the masthead of the Enquirer" nor find in
its columns unprovoked and unjust assaults upon the
leader, of the Democratic party.
We are glad the Onion has pheasant memories
Of the Enquirer" and lamen. that for the future we
cannot entertain the same for the "Union." There
is legitimate work enough for US both without assai
ing the men Who in our hours Of battle, are the lead
ers to whom the nation turns for victory.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE MINERAL WATERS
OF WESTERN VIRGINIA. BY P. B. Tindsll,
MD. Member of the Medical Society. Philadelphia.
Richmond, Virginia: Published by Charles r..
Wynus, 1858.
We cordially recommend this little volume to those
who wish to avail themselves of the medical skill and
experience Of gentleman who has devoted the last
thirty years to the examination and study OF the Min
ers Waters of Virginia DR.. Tindall was surgeon IN
the army of the United States during the war OF lsl2
and at the close of the took up his residence 10
Western Virginia. and has since that time spent the
whcls of his life in that portion of the State which Is
90 muniaeently endowed by nature with mineral
waters of such varied qualities and curative virtues.
The work before Us congresses within very narrow
limits the result Of the authors experience, as ply
scisn and man of SCIENCE Of the use or effects OF
tbs mineral waters of Virginia.
DR.. Burke, in bis elaborate work on the Mineral
Springs Of Virginia, pays the following we'll merted
compliment to DR.. Tindall. H. says:
~ should bs doing great injustice were to omit
mention of modest, retiring, but skilful and e1pe
riencsd gentleman DR.. Tindall, the resident physi
clan at the Sweet Springs. He has for heast twenty
FIVE years been constant observer of the sotion o
all the mineral waters In this REGION but especially
of these, the Red Sweet, the White Sweet, and the
Red Sulphur Springs. His advice therefore, may be
valuable to the visitor of these negbboring springs
and am only performing duty In calling attention
TO bis claims."-t Burke, page lss.)

ENGLISH SPOLIATION IN INDIA.

correspondent thus writes TO the London Daily
News, regarding the manner in which the Engli,h
made themselves masters Of the kingdom of Dude
happened TO be at Cawnpore in 1885, when III,
spolison Of Dude was effected; from my position
there was able to ascertain the result the nsva
mind Of that act OF unexampled perfdy They saw
in that act they openly declared, the utter uproo'
ing Of all safeguards for their own property. They
felt that the government which, in defiance OF
ties in disregard of past obligations, of its pigh,ed
word, could suddenly, and without previous notice,
seize upon aud appropriate friendly state, would
not hesitate on the slightest pretence. nay, without
any pretence whstever, 10 confscate their pro
perty and estates They felt that It was the act OF
robber, whose right was but the rgh, of the strong
arm.
But II was not alone the spoation of Dude that
turned the hearts of all men against US; it was the
manner in which that apolation was effected can
recollect but yesterday the unsettled state OF the
minds of on the other side Of the Ganges, on
count of the prevalent rumor as to the sssembage
a large camp. This state of alarm penetrated even
into the palaces Of Lucknow. Inquiries were made.
The grand vizier went down 10 Captain FIetch'r
Hayes, the assistant resident and asked whether the"
was any truth in the report that a large camp was
preparing against Dude. "None at all" was the ~
swer; "t Is merely measure of precaution aganr'
Nepaul." When by this and other representation,
the fears alluded to had been camed, troops wciu
suddenly massed at Cawnpore, and were hurried
across the Gsnges; and it was not until it had be.n
ascertaned that all opposition was impossible
that notice wss given to the King Of Dude, that h-
| territories were taken from him, and that he had
ceased to reign SO secret indeed, were the prepara-
tons, so determined was the Indian government or
| that day to give warning, but to make a sudden
and burglarous attempt on the property Of the King
| of Dude, that General DURAN, who was the sgeut
of that government would not give single order IN
writing tha requsitions Tor carriage for cattle, for
tents, for supplies, were all given verbally the Of
fcers of the several departments being informed thai
vouchers for all the expenses Incurred would be fu
nished at subsequent date.
We obtained possession Of Dude, then, by great
fraud took the king, the mobiles, the people by
surprise; they had time to organize q resistance
no time to feel the pulse Of our Sepoys they did n"i
wish to place themselves at out Of court by nj;
illcoucered and unsuccessful resistance; they pr"
farrad 10 wait the coIrse Of events.
