G.. A. FEARER, Sec.

The Richmond Examiner the leading
secession organ of Virginia manifests a
great deal of trepi1ation at the energy
which the government is now manifest
ing and the evident overthrow which u
waits the traitors. 1t clamors for n
dictator and declares that Virginia is
lost unless Jefferson Davis comes to the
rescue. Virginia. to be sure, will fight
to the last-Virginia will be cut into ten
thousand pieces before she will yield
but why do not Davis and the south
come on?
The Southern States are both trait
ors aud towards if they do not come
at once to the front. All their available
forces should be brought to the banks of
the Potomac with the least loss Of time
Especially should President Davis give
Virginia the advantage of his presence
1t would be worth an army of fifty thou
sand men. 1t would give confidence aud
authority to all the States movements
Why do the wheels of the chariot tar

as it says. brave as Caesars legions,'
are yet far inferior in point of numbers.
Not more than 30, 900 Nirgiuians are fit

States further South can be expected -
Jefferson Davis, in his message, says
that only 10000 are on the way,
Tie whole tone of The E,rzmimer,

their eyes open at last to the folly of
their Quixolic plans, and to the awful

The Supreme Court of the State Of New
York, have issued a perpetual injunction a.
gainst Eaton and Jenking for countcrfeiting
Ayers Cathartic Pills, holding them respon-
sble for the cruel imposition in what they
have done and restraining them from further
like injury to the public. If any class of
our people moro than another needs the in
terposition of law to shield them from inn
posture, it is the sick and suffering who ara
unable to protect themselves. A remedy so
employed as Ayers Pills by all
c lasses both to cure and TO prevent disease
SHOULD as it does have every security the law
can afford it, from counterfeit and imitation.

GUnsil0t Wounds.

Are not painful Immediately, but be-
come 50 by inflammation. Their treat
ment is first to avoid a collapse, and this
is to be done by encouraging language,
and, if necessary, little stimulant, ad-
ministcred with care, as it may increase
the inflammation. The next thing is to
stop the bleeding, by the application of
pressure; the next to find out if any bone
is broken, and if SO, to steady it aud
place it in n natural and comfortable po-
sition, After this cold water dressing
may be applied, though many surgeons
are in favor Of a warm water fomenta-
ton, but we think their practice is I'M
tenable, for cold water removes infain-
nation by evaporation, and warm water
may impart heat, instead of removing it.
In the ease of a slight injury, cold water
dressings and rest of the muscles will
complete the cure.

Cumberland Municipal Election.
Great Battle.
True Blue Union Men
Triumphant.

On Monday last, the election for the NUM-
cipal officers of Cumberland city took place
in accordance with the law regulating the
same. The day was very suspicious and the
contest waged with much more than ordinary
zeal The true Union men had to contend
with the secessionists, weakcd- knced and bo-
Gus Union men who fought with 2cst wor-
thy better cause, leaving no effort untried
t, accomplish the defeat of the unconditional
and unhnching Union men. Their princl-
pal object was to defeat the Mayor, and to
effect this object they were ready to make any
sacrifice, but all was without avail, and the
True Union men triumphed most signally.-
The vote on the Council ticket is the best cr-
terrain by which to judge of the relative
strength Of the two parties.

We fully expect, and so it ought to be,
that they will meet with that kind of recep-
ton from the Government at Washington,
that will make them feel how contemplate
they arc, but their mission to JEFF. Davis and
John Lstcher, will be improved to secure aid
and assistance to precipitate our State into
revolution. Let the people have their eyes
on this committee.
The probability is that the Legislature
will cost the people of this State more than
100000 before they are done with their a.
bominablc schemes.
