Why will You Delay.

Why will you neglect that disease which IS Ia
king such deep root and Which gives you warning
by that hacking cough, that you are fast ripening
for eternity. Why encourage that pain in the
side, the raising OF blood, those night sweats or
that difficult breathing which silently whisper In
youa car that sometliin must be done to save you
from the grave of the consumptive. Why act so
carelessly by permitting that disease to destroy your
your health, and hasten you to the tomb from
whence no traveller vet returnee, SILENCE that
Dreadful Cough, or death must carry you to your
silent grave. Why delay while there is yet hope7
Consumption is caused by impure humors of the
blood being deposited in the cells of the lungs.
Hence the lungs are like a spring of water when
relied up by the dirt or mnd, if clear water con.
stantly flows through the springs, impurities or
mud will pc conveyed away by the pure water.
Just so with the blood when kept IL, clean or
pure state as it constantly flows through the lungs
it carries away all corrupt matter, and perfect
health will be the result. From two to four Pills
taken every night or every other night, or eAosgh
to keep the bowels regular, will in a reasonable
time cure consumption. The reason these pills are
used more than all otlreyss because they are made
of purifying vegetables, and clense the body from
all corrupt matter, and drive ont disease of every
description quicker and in a mider manner than
any other Pills. DR. Morse Indian Root Pills are
sold by all dealers in Medicines.

Thus does this charge OF having paid extravaganza pre-
miums for United States stock fall harmless at the feet of
the present Secretary. WE
But IL is urged that Mr.. Cobb should not have pur-
chased any Of the public debt during the financial crisis
OF 1857 that so soon az the banks suspended, he should
have suspended his operations in the purchase of that
debt. and boarded the gold and silver in the vaults of
the treasury that he might have foreseen the ensuing
embarrassments of the treasury, aud should have locked
up the specie of the government and, shutting out from
his heart all sympathy for the distress Of the people,
ought TO have left the great industrial interests OF the
country TO take care Of themselves.
The bare statement OF these propositions carries with
them, in the judgment of every sound head and heart,
their own refutation. True, a public officer should do
nothing contrary 10 tnp TO ameliorate public distress but
he should do everything an accordance 10Th lqD TO relieve the
embarrassmcnts of the people. Government Is, In this

with the slur that, coming into power with an overflow
ing treasury, they were forced in the first year of their
treasury notes and loans. No one knows better than
many who make the charge and use the taunt that the
whole cause was the reyulsion ia commerce Of 1851 ;
and their conduct is but another illustration Of the JUS
tce Of political criticism upon opponents or polaoa 61sud,
whom they desire TO strike down.

Oliver II. Smith died at his residence in this city on
Saturday night, the 10Th instant, at 10 o. clock, in the
sixty fourth year of his age. Mr.. Smith has been in fail

yigor to the lat, and transacted ordinary business TO tho
day before his death, exhibiting those peculiar character
istics which distinguished him through life until the end.
Thus has passed away another of the distinguished men
Of Indiana-one who was prominently and largely identi-
fed with her public history.

TWO FIGHTS NTH THE CAMANCHES
NEAR FORT ARBUCKLE.
prom Tho s. Louis Democrat March q

From the s. Louis Democrat, March al
A letter, dated Fort Washita, Cherokee Nation, March
q, says
fifty United States soldiers, and nifty Witchitas, as guides,
started on a scouting expedition. When twenty miles
from Fort Arbuckle they came up with a large party Of
Camanche Indians and a severe fight took place, Ia which
two Camanches were killed and two soldiers wounded.
The Camanches then withdrew, probably TO renew the
attack.
"The Camanches had previously sent In word that they
were coming TO take the Fort on the LIST inst.
Capt. Carr left this place ia command Of fifty soldiers
for the seat of wW on the 4h inst.
" Another express arrived here with intelligence that
another fight had taken place between the United States
troops, fifty in number, under command of Lieut.. Stan
ley, LIST cavalry, and the Camanohes, in which eight Ca
manches were killed and several wounded. Uncle Sam
lost one man, and two slightly wounded.

and was marching towards the Washita mountains, where
another battle is anticipated. 1t is stated the Indians

HON. JEREMIAH s. BLACK.


From the York pa } Gazette, March 22l
A resolution was offered at the close of t1e proceedings
of the late State convention endorsing the character of
the Hon. jeremiah s.. Black, Attorney General of the
United States. Although the voice Of the convention
was unanimous in its approval of the course pursued by
this distinguished cabinet officer, it was deemed contrary
to precedent for a State convention to adopt a resolution
of the nature proposed. This is much to be regretted,
for, if it could have been done in accordance with usage,
jeremiah S. Black Ito use the language of a cotemporary}
should have been gratefully remembered for the noble
and unyielding stand which he has ever presented in de-
fence of public honesty, oven Justice, and popular rights.

TESTIMONIAL TO JUDGE PETIT, OF INDIANA

The Indiana Daily Sentinel of March 81, published at
Indianapolis, says;
1.-The members of the bar of Lafayette, without dis
tinction of party, have rendered to Judge Petit the com
pliment of a public dinner, in honor Of his recent ap-
pointment as chief Justice of the federal courts of Kansas
Territory, which they regard 'as a peculiarly just and be-
coming recognition of his high merit as a jurist and
qualifications as q Judge
They also express their regret that the appointment
will necessitate a removal into another region of its dis
tingushed member, who from its earliest days has been
one of its chief pillars and brightest ornaments. aud who,
by his warm heart, generous disposition, and frank and
courteous manners, has endeared himself to all who have
shared personal association or private acquaintance with
him. z"
Judge Petit accepted the invitation, and the dinner
took place yesterday.
