Dr. 4. A. Hayes of Massachusetts from
q somewhat extended analytical Observation
on spirits produced from grain in this conn
try, says that be can find no good reason fo,
the statement that poisonous bodies, sespeci-
ally strychnlne," exist in them, and this con-
clusIon, he Is careful to remark, has been
supported by the testimony of those who are
opposed to the manufacture, but who frank
ly admit. that no case has ever fallen under
their notice at the places of manufacture.
which would lead to even an inference in
regard to !the adding of any deleterious
body to the distilled spirits. DR.. HAYES ey-
plains that the addition ofnon-yolatile bodies
to the fermented worts, il made. would mot
contaminate the spirits distilled from them.
Thrre lsihowever,ia source of danger which.
so lar as ne can learn, has been overlooked Tor
possibly attributed to criminal intention
inis remark applies as well to the newly dis
lliied, ana, IN most cases, to the older spirits
anu ne regards knowledge ofthe fact as of
especial interest to the medical profession.
IL Is this: Newly distilled spirits. of the
most common kind, often contain salts of
copper, OF lead or tin, derived from the con-
den sers In which the yapors are reduced To a
mud form The quantity of copper salt con-
tanned in the bulk usually taken as dreucht
is sufficient to produce the minor effects Of
metallic poison; the cumulative Character Of
these posons may even lead to fatal eonse-
quences.
On the whole, the Doctor considers our
common spirits, when they have been tenn
pered by age, to be less noxions than the go
called brandies, &C., and thinks. that
when the presence of any of the above men
toned is not indicated by their turbidness.
they may be used incidentally or otherwise
fear of any other evil results than
hose which alcohol produces.

Flood for Flood.

Fuad Pacha, sent by the Sultan to regu
late the affairs of Syria, has prosecuted his
errand with remarkable energy, impartiality
and severity. His proceedings go far to CON
vince US that, however the Turkish officers
and soldiers in Syria may have sympathized
with the Druses and abetted their outrages.
their conduct was Unauthorized By the Otto
man Government
1t il true that the most signal punishment
that of Achmet Pacha late Governor-Gen-
eraI of Damascus. was delayed for month
after his trial. and until the arrival of Lord
DufIerin at Damascus. The rapidity of the
English Enjoys movements seems greatly to
have astOnished the Turks, who never suspect
a great man of doing anything to-day that
can be deferred Till tomorrow. His lOrdship
arrived at Beirut on Sunday, September q;
spent Monday in close conference with Admi-
raj Martin and Consul Moore; started for
Damascus on Tuesday; arrived there on
Thursday; on Friday had an interview with
Fuad Pacha, and on Saturday the guilty
governor was shot. Ii Is not improbable that
be might have escaped but for the energy and
promptitude Of the Engiishman, and thus the
incalculable moral benefits OF the retribution
have been lost.
But this was only the beginning. Ali Bey,
who commanded the Turkish troops at Da-
m4Scus on the 9th Of July; Osman Bey, the
wretch vino, being also in command entieed
1000 ersons into the Government house in
Hasbsiya and then helped to butcher them;
and Mustapha Bey, who did a similar thing
at Rasheiya, were executed, with more than
one hundred Turkish soldiers. and some fifty
or sixty citizens Of rank also Implicated
Several hundreds have been condemned TO
hasd labor for life, and about 5000 con-
demned to serve in the army. Foreign resi-
dents report that strict justice was observed
in their trial that of Achmet Pacha, for ex-
ample occupying three weeks.
The Druse leaders say that the Turks used
them in this matter, and express a great de-
sire to be examined before an honest commits
sion, which shall include in its members lat
least one Englishman," when they say that
they will offer such proofs of imperial COM
plicity las shall open the eyes of all Europe"
But, however, this may be, it is certain that
the moral effect of the severe measures
adopted by taad Pacha cannot be oyer-esti-
mated. -Such FetFibution was never heard
OF before, and il will inpresively teach the
lawiess hords OF Syria, aud scarcely less law
less rulers of Mohammedan provinces, that
the days of irresponsible Christian blood
are past forever. To see the sruler
OF the faithful under the force of European
opinion, dispensing even-handed Justice and
aveuging Christian blood upon the Moslem.
is Indeed spectacle worthy of the advancing
age, and lesson which need not soon be re.

tators 10 prevail in the politics Of the coun-

bling in the prospect of the future of your in

and is making great exertions to carry the
State. The organization of their party is be-
lieycd to be complete, penetrating to the re-
motest ncighborhoods. We MUST meet their
efforts with corresponding action, if we would
carry the vote Of Tennessee for ssthe Consti-

And now we entreat you, all who approve
our principles and desire the election of our

who desire to see the restoration of the era
OF good feeling between the sections--all pa
triots who love their country more than

where, in every neighborhood, and go to
work for the success of the Union ticket at
the coming election. Go and talk to your
neighbors and friends. Call on them in their
WORK shops, and stores, in their fields, and
by their lireside. Impress them with sense of
their duty TO their country. You and they
are sovereigns, and owe portion of your
time, your talents and your means to your
country.
Prepare for the day of election. We have
called upon you for no contribution of mon

baltimore Election.

We learn from Baltimore that the munich
pal election held in that city yesterday passed
of quietly. and resulted in the choice of Geo
Wm. Brown, Esq, for the office of Mayor.
He was nominated as the Reform candi-
date without regard TO party politics, and
his election cannot be viewed as the triumph
of any political party.-NdtioraL Huteltgencer.
Both wings of the Democracy (says the
Baltimore Sun of Yesterday declined to
nominate a candidate for the Mayoralty, nor
do we learn that there has been single dem
ocratic nomination for the City Councils.
The Union, or Bell and Everett party, have
made no nomination for the MayOralty, a
considerable proportion of them regarding
their business interests. in common with the
welfare OF the city, as identified with the sue
cess of reform. And many of our citizens
who have heretofore acted with the American
party Will vote for Mr.. Brown. Hence all
par tisan distinction is merged in one common
effort for the good of the city, in the election
of the reform candidates for the Mayoralty
and City Councils. 1t cannot therefore be
claimed as a triumph, or as any indication
whatsoever of public sentiment on the Presi-
Dental question. In short it is entirely free
from party; and as such limits the vote of the
city to simple expression of the popular

a-Thc Louisville Courier claims the late
Mayors election in Baltimore as q Democrat
ic victory, and on the strength of it, announ-
ces that Maryland is sure for BRECKTNRIDGE.
This is the paltriest trick of the canvass. The
contest for Mayor in Baltimore resulted in
favor of the Reform Ticket, and party poll
tics had nothing to do with it. The Mayor
elect was supported by the great body of the
friends of BELL and EVERETT, and no honest,
truth loving man would claim his election as
a party triumph. The following paragraphs
tell the truth about the matter:
