arrangement for cooking, they have ever seen it is
pleasure for cook to use the stove, especially
those who have used the ordinary cook stove. La
dies that have been deprived of the privilege of
entering the cook reom on account Of the extreme

ssAid and Comfort to the Enemy"

The following is the platform laid down by the
Raleigh Register for ''the opposition" in North
Carolina. Read it. and then hand it to your neigh
bors:-
"WHo WE WILL SvPPoRT.-The Standard asks
us who we will support for the Presidency. We
answer that we will support any opponent of rotten
and corrupt Democracy who is not an abolitionist
black Republican; and furthermore, we say
THAT AS BETWEEN AN ABOLITIONIST OR
BLACK REPUBLICAN AND A DEMOCRAT,
WE WILL MAKE NO CHOICE"
Between Seward and Hunter, between Wade and
Breckenridge, between Lane and Banks, between
Dallas and Cameron, between Toucey and Giddings,
between Douglas and Grow, the Register will make
no choice. 1t tells its Opposition allies of the
free States-the black Republicans-that they are
just as good, just as sound just trustworthy as
men who live upon Southern soil and own slaves.
If that is not giving laid and comfort to ene
mics, we know not what is.
That the Register speaks for Mr.. Glmer, we do
not doubt. That gentleman counts in this campaign
and his ailiation with the black Republicans gives
him the right to count on the freeso vote of his
District. Let the Southern rights Wings and
Americans of his District think of that Will
they vote for such man?

ENCOURAGING EDucArIoN.-It cannot be otherwise
(says the Charlotte Democrat) than highly crafty
ing to the friends Of education in North Carolina to
see the interest which the Governor of the State
takes in the cause. The presence of our chief men
at educational meetings. and at college and school
commencement exercises is encouraging to the pu-
pill as we'll as the teacher The NJ c. Christian Ad-
0ocate, giving an account of the commencement at
Trinity College, N. c., says:
His Excellency, Gov. Ellis, occupied seat on
the platform, and manifested as he does all prop
er occasions, his deep interest in the cause of edu-
cation in North Carolina. He kindly consented to
present the medalSto the Graduates and to address
them on the occasion. As we took no notes at the
time, we will not do him the injustice to attempt
report He expressed his qualification at the evi-
dence Of the usefulness and prosperity of the Col
slege and he did than justice the faculty
and students in giving 1t his opinion, far he
could form opinion from the literary exercises he
had Witnessed that the scholarship of Trinity Col
lege was fully equal to that of any College or Uni
versity with which he was acquainted He pointed
to the portraits Of Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Jack
son, and other great men Of the past which adorn
the walls of the Chapel, and eoquenty appealed to
the young before him to follow their example
of patriotism reminding them that all honors are
accessible to those who merit them by devotion to
TRUTH to duty, and to perseverng labor for the
mon good'

ScARLET1NA AND MEAsLEs.-Mr Witt, member Of
the Royal College of Surgeons. has published
pamphlet in which he states that carbonate Of am
mona is specific for the cure of scarlet fever and
measles He cites DR.. Pearl, of Liverpool and 9th
practitioners, who have never lost case, out of
hundreds, since adopting this remedy Two drachms
of the bcarbonate of ammonia are dissolved in five
ounces of water, and two tablespoonful of the So
luton given every two three or four hours according
to the urgency of the symptoms. No acid drink
must be taken, but'only water, or toast and water
The system is to be moved by dose of calomel, if
necessary. The room must be well ventilated, but
the patient protected from the slightest cold or draft
Garglc should also be employed for cleaning the
throat The ammonia, it is said, counteracts the
poison which causes scarletina and also acts the
system by diminishing the frequency and at the
so many children die from these diseases in this
country, this remedy ought to receive fair trial
from the profession

The Position OF ENGLAND IN RELATION TO THE
WAR-Thc new British Cabinet, while by no means
indifferent in relation to the present condition of
Europe appears to be determined 10 observe a
strict neutrality between the belligerants Lord
Palmerston has announced that I" her majesty's gov
ernment have no intention of advising her majesty
to take part in the present war, and they do not
foresee the probability of any events that would
lead them to depart ON the policy of neutrality"
Lord John RUSSELL the Secretary for Foreign Affairs
in a ent speech to his constituents said:
81 have told you on former occasions what was
the occasion, and what, as | conceived, was the
deepseated cause of the present war. 1t was not
the ambition of one man, of two men of three
men, but it was the grevous misgovernment of Italy,
which has lasted for forty years. and which the
Italian people have at various times endeavorcd to
throw off. Well, gentlemen, l should have been
happy to that which it perfectly possible to
have omplished-namely, that the Powers of
Italy, together with France and Austria had been
able to make an amicable arrangen ent on that sub
ject. But that was not the case, and they arc now
engaged-the three Powers of Austria France and
Sardinia-in bloody and destructive war. What
we most hope is that the moderation of the success
ful party and the wisdom of the defeated party may
Lead in no long time, to an honorable and satisfac
tory peace. (Cheers.) But our duty, gentlemen
is to continue in that path Of neutrality whieh the
whole country has determined to adopt. (Cheers.)
But if there should not be that there
should not be that wisdom of which have spoken
1t is impossible to say how far the may extend
and what countries may take part in it. Therefore
it behoves this country, for her own security for
the defence of her honor and her own interests,
not to neglect her macy or her army, so as to be
prepared for any contingency that may arise
(flear, hear.) And, gentlemen, I will repeat here
that which l said in the House of Commons-that
l shall be at all times ready to pay any tribute of
applause to the late First Lord of the Board of Ad
miralty, and the board who served with him, for
the energetic exertions which they made to put the
navy into an effective state. (Cheers.) Well gen.
tlemen such being the state of foreign affairs, that
which is incumbent upon us in the first place is
vigilance (Cheers.) We must moteh erery more
which takes place, and consider the bearing it may
hare on the future. (Hear, hear.) And in the next
place, whenever the time shall arrive-and l hope
it may soon arrve-when the begerents may be
dsposedto terminate this destructive contest 1t oU
then be the business Of this country to gice such
counsels as may lead to a termination Of the acar
honorably to all the parties and, must add, a
termination achich aoiN atord better hopes for the
andependence and liberty Of Italy Man those 1t has
hitherto been able to enjoy (Cheers.) Such, gen
tlemen, is, in short, the only explanation give
with regard to our foreign policy"

Is While we are not disposed to complain, we
confess we are surprised at finding copied in the
hegtster the gross personal attack on the Senior Ed
ltor OF the Standard by the Editor of the Warren
ton Neus The Editor of the Neus was the aggress
or. The Register published one article from the
Ne1s and the reply of the Standard; and there we
supposed the Register would let the matter rest
We repeat, we do not complain, yet we feel bound
to express our surprise and disappointment at the
course Of our neighbor.
We took no part, even by copying, when the Reg
ister was involved sometime since in a bitter and
most unpleasant controversy with the Fayetteville
Observer. That was personal controversy; and
though we might have used it for the purpose of
showing that discord prevailed in the "opposition"
ranks yet because the controversy was personal we
forbore to do so. Since that time we have stricken
from communications and from selected articles pub
lshed in the Standard, every thing which appeared
to be designed as personal towards our neighbor of
the Register We think it probable that he has
generally pursued the same course towards us; and
refer to these things, not with view of estab-
fishing any claim to forbearance on his part, but
simply that the facts may be known. We have no
idea that he endorses the article which he has cop
led into his last issue from the Ne'cs The Editor
of the Necs is a malignant and depraved man. We
repeat, what we said in last that every material
statement which he has made in the article referred
to in relation to us is absolutely and unqualifedly
