Kennedy,a Medical nlsoovarv

We have been perusing, within few days,
one of Kennedy's Circulars, not to convince US
that his medicine was what Il purported to be,
for we have had occasion to witness its magical /
effects In curing the particular class of diseases
for which it s recommended, viz I, humors. -
But we had not this personal acquaintance
with Its virtues, we could not but be convinced
OF its worth, when such men as Erastus H. Doc
little Esq, former Proprietor of the Old Elm
Street Stage House, Boston, says, that he has
been cured OF q disease that was hurrying him
to his grave, and the remedy used was Kenne
ddy's Medical Discovery. This is proof enough
for US, and wo trust that 1t will prove an induce
ment TO the afflicted to fyv u at least.

D- The Cincinnati Press, following the lead
Of tbe Ohio STATE Journal. is using its energy
and ability to write down the Union. 1t de-
clsres there Is "a universal consciousness of che
weakness of the national tenure" from which,
try as we may, we cannot escape. Thus, one by
one, the Republican press and the politicians Of
the party are throwing off all disguise, and
showing to the world the true mission of thai
hateful organization 1t Is to cooperate with
the disunionists of the South, to overthrow and
forever destroy the Government and Union Of
the States. ii3 % l1,e

Drafting Soldiers in the North.


- 7sFsr fss-as a.
The New York papers are begin
ming to discuss the necessity and ex-
pediency of resorting to drafting to
procure the requisite number Of sol
dicrs for the war. Enlistments are
very tardy. Several weeks ago the
Governor Of New York called for
$4,000 volunteers but; up to this
time, not halt that number have
Signed enlistment rolls. The New
England States are all tardy.
None of them are furnishing halt
that are needed anti expected. Penn
sylvania is not doing her duty by
any means. and Ohio is hanging be-
hind, and has not half the troops in
the field that she should have. $50.
The same thing is true of Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. IL
linois is raising more troops than any
other State-more than even New
York or Pennsylvania-but it is
doubtful whether she will have her
full quota in the field by October LIST,
at which time the half million called
for by Congress-, early in July last,
should be under arms. ---s
The rebels rcsorted to drafting
long ago and thereby have been able
to put in the field larger army thar
the Government. Why should our
side refrain from drafting. when it is
found that volunteering will not sup
ply men fast enough. No loyal man,
if drafted, will refuse to serve or
find substitute. We have a quar-
ter OF Il million OF troops in camp, and
should have half Il million of troops
in camp. Let there be no hes itation on
the part of the Government to call on
each State for itsfullquota OF soldiers.
Let the President designate the mum
Der each State must furnish, and if
they are not Forthcoming one way
they will be another.-l, hicago
