The Pope Dyfng---Who Shall be His
Successor

The Papal question is not unlikely to be
solved by the Pope taking himself out OF
this world, for which he is so miserably un-
fit The doctors, we are told, never quit
him, and all thoughts of removing him to
bis country seat at Castle Gondolfo are Civ
en- up. 1t is added that the political in
triguants about His Holiness have done
for him." by compelling him to show him.
self when he was already severely suffering,
with hope this exhibition to deceive
the public as to the real state of his health.
Of course there is a great stir in Rome
among the upper classes, who are anxious
about the secession.
Truly, the Pope is said to have made
what seemed to him or to his Court the
wisest dispositions to meet the impending
contingency; but Fortune sometimes laughs
such,c0ntrlvances to scorn, and the deepest
piotters pale before the event which is to
put the soundness of their schemes to the
test. 1t seems difficult to conceive how a
Pope may be elected by conclave 10 Rome
otherwise than at the dctation of the En-
peror Napoleon; yet there is busy faction
at the Vatican striving to bring out pre-
cisely such consummatiOn. If they are
unable to carry an election agreeable to that
party which has hitherto been boarding the
French autocrat on his throne. it is eXpec.
ted that another conclave, in a strictly III.
tramontane and Royalist sense, will be held
at Verona, of course under Austrian ascen-
dancy. We shall thus have one Sacred
College in opposition to another; we shall
have Council against Council, Pope against
Pope, and schism when, if the Italians
do not prove their old adage to be true
Ira due htigantiI terSogode,"-if they
do not set one of the contending parties
against the other, contrive to come by their
own as honest men always do when thieves

luton of the Church to work out their men,

highly grati6ed with the evolutions and ap-

On Wednesday last, companies E, F and
K, under command of Lieut.. Colonel Miller
examined the woods for six miles from this

masked batteries or concealed guerllas, but
did not succeed in discovering either.
Capts. Morgan, Lester and Colville, and
their officers and men, behaved with great
GOODNESS and courage.
The secessionists are evidently calling in

"A letter received in Boston from Cron-
stadt, dated June II, written by the mate
of ship, says: "There is Charleston
ship laying alongside of US that hoisted the
flag of the Southern Confederate States,
and for so doing l understand the captain
was arrested and placed in the guard house

The claim put forth by Mr.. Thatcher,
resident of New York, to the discovery,
in April last, of the comet now receding
from the sun, was considerably ridiculed by
the Boston papers at first. The announce
ment, however, by the New York Herald,
that Mr.. Thatcher is native Of Boston and
graduate of Harvard, has given them new
light on the subject, and they are now dis
posed to award him full as much credit as
he deserves.
The New York Tribune is tabooed at
Washington. Its Gown correspondent
complains that he "can't get In" to see the
President or "any other man" in the Cabi-
net. He states that they will not let him
see messenger until he has exhausted
pack of visiting cards in the effort, that the
Pope is more accessible to him than the
President, and that he could have an in

OUR REGIMENT AND THE "PET LAMBS"
We are permitted to print the following
extract from a private letter just received
from the Orderly of Company A:
Ellsworth's Zouaves have taken quite fancy
to our boys, and there is quite friendly init
macy existing among the boys of the two reg
iments. Until the day before yesterday we
were encamped within half mile of them.
The rule is that the men cannot visit other en-
campments without pass from the Colonel,
so if person wants to visit neighboring
camp, he must secure the pass before he can
enter their lines. Immediately between us and
the Zouaves, the Fourth Michigan Regiment is
encamped, and they and the Zouaves are like
the Sioux and Chippewas-deadly enemies. A
Zouave sentry will not allow one of the Mich-
gan boys to enter their lines, pass or no pass
nor will Michigan sentry allow a Zouave to
enter their camp. But let Minnesota boy go
to the Zouave camp. he is greeted with, "Wto
comes there?" minnesota" "All right-go
ahead" and when a Zouave approaches our
guard, we never hail him at ALL for their uni
form is very conspicuous it being dark blue
pants, red shirt, and red Turkish skull cap,
with long tassel hanging down the back. On
their part they never think of asking leave to
60 to any place, but march off without saying
anything to anybody. In saying this do not
wish you to infer that they are not good SOL
diers, or have no discipline, for when on duty
they cannot be tempted to drink, but are very
prompt and perform everything that is required
of them admirably. I tell you, if we ever get
into fight, look out for the Zouaves-they are
perfect devils, and poor Ellsworth will be ter.
ribly avenged. T. We have had
issued to US forty rounds of ball cartridges for
our cartridge boxes and twenty rounds to be
carried in our knapsacks. We shall soon see
fight. Old German is full offight and eager for
the fray.

Our dispatches this morning contain the
melancholy intelligence that another of our
greatest statesmen is no more. Judge Doug
las breathed his last in Chicago, at 10 min
utes after 9 o'clock yesterday morning, sur
rounded by relatives and friends.
Few men in the United States were ia
vored with such warm and enthusiastic ad-
rirers as the deceased. 1t is not strange
that he also had bitter opponents. The
same traits of character that win the one
are apt to occasion the other. His death
will cause very general sorrow. Every one
feels that the country can lily spare him at
this hour of her greatest peril. Bold, out
spoken, and fertile in expedients, he was
lust the man for the hour, and we doubt
not, had he been permitted to live, would
have taken still higher stand in the af-
lection and admiration of the people.
Having Iabored zealously-and, as many
supposed, mistakenly-to heal the differen-
ces between the antagonistic sections-when
the flag was insulted and an appeal to arms
made by the rebels to his honor be it said
Judge Douglas was the first man to visit the
President and pledge him his sympathy and
earnest support. That act of manly ant

Ancient Superstition vs.. Modern Sci

enee.
Six hundred years ago it was believed
that scrofula could be cured by the touch OF
a king, and that the fever of a wound was
abated by salving the weapon that caused
it These, and fifty other similar aosurdl-
ties, of which we read in tracing the pro-
gress of the healing art, now only excite
contemptuous smile, but, even IN this en-
lightened era, prejudice and egotlsm some
times struggle to perpetuate error, and ven
ture to question the most palpabIe and SELF
evident truths.
Thus, when Holloway, after long years OF
study and experiment, ushered his all-pow-
erful remedies before the world IN their
present perfect state, their efficacy was de-
MED by many Jealous practitioners. These
men were the slaves of formula persons
who believed that truth moved in circle
like blind horse in a mill track. They re-
garded Holloway as an innovator and SO
he was. His innovations have astonished
nay, more, they have convinced and de-
lighted the world. The most formidable
ulcerous and eruptive maladies, with which
science has heretofore waged an unequal
combat, are now subdued by the penetrating
Ointment for the cure of external diseases
and injuries, and his famous Pills are admin
/ istered with marvellous success for many
dangerous internal disorders.
/ We have not arrived at this conclusion
hastily. 1t is the duty of the press to in
! vestigate before it approves. Public opinion
| is to a certain extent based upon its state
ments, and in all matters which concern
/ the health and life of man, it cannot be too
cautious or too scrupulous, But it is also
the province of the press to give the widest
notoriety to important facts, and to render
Justice to great public benefactors- The
testimony in favor of Professor Holloway s
remedies emanates from all classes and from
every quarter of the globe. 1t is enthusi-
astic, voluminouS aud consistent To deny
it, would be to fly in the face Of the laws OF
evidence, and evince stupidity, not caution
If there is anything in which the judg-
ment of human being may be relied upon,
it is the effect which a remedy produces up
on him when sick. No one can be self-de-
ceived as to the relief of pain, the renewal
of strength, the recovery OF health and
cheerfulness; and when tens of thousands Of
individuals, spontaneously and without pre-
concert, unite in ascribing the same benef-
cent results to the same causes, their COM
bined declarations as imperatively demand
credence as a mathematical demonstration
Upon this basis rests the worldwide repu-
tation7 of Professor Holloway's Ointmen
