Scrofula, or Kings Evil

is constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which il may
not destroy. The scrofnlous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcncrcal infection. What.
ever be its origin, it Is hereditary in the con.
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation 3" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod Of Him who says, II
vii! visit the iniquitics Of the fathcrr upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrcles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, dcpresscs
the energies OF life, so that scrofilous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com.
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases: conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which dc.
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause. ..
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined BY it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
visorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such q medicine we supply in

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, A gracious Providence has once more
permitted us TO meet in the capacity Of a
Teachers Institute; and, schereas, Teachers
are expected to give force and direction to
public sentiment in regard to educational
topics, therefore, #s
Institutes and Teachers Drills as the most
etfectual means for fitting teachers for their
very responsible and highly valuable calling
I'd. That we recommend the Iowa School
Journal, as an educational Journal, to the
favorable consideration of Teachers and the
friends Of education generally.
Sd. That we strenuously recommend uni
formity of text books in our schools
4th. Resolved, as the sense of this Institute,
that the studies of Philosophy, Chemistry,

propriety, to some extent at least be intro
duced into our common schools.
5th That, for the especial benefit Of it's own

to visit all the schools in their respective
counties at least twice in each year and i'm
mediately after the examination Of each school
to deliver public lecture upon some educa-
tional topic to the patrons and pupils thereof
9th. That teaching should be ranked among
the learned professions it ought to COM

Trial Of Scales.

We have seen o statement Of the
recent official trial in one of the prin-
cipal counties in this State, Of twenty
five grain and stock scales. They
were the ordinary outdoor wagon
scales, and were tested just as they
were found in common use, thus max
ing it one of the best possible practi-
cal tests. Sixteen of them were Of
Fairbanks make and nine of various
other kinds, including some which
have lately been claimed as superior
to Fairbanks. The result showed a
remarkable degree Of accuracy in
those of Fairbanks make, while all
others were condemned as not suffi-
ciently accurate for use. The impor-
tance Of this fact will be appreciated
without comment. We publish it be-
cause it is one in which the public
are interested.-Chicago Tribune.

The Rebel Army.

A descrter from Richmond reports
that great deal of sickness prevails
in the rebel army. Disease was not
confined to one locality, but it was
prevalent almost everywhere, and in
the majority Of cases assumed the
form of measles, mumps and typhoid
fever, many cases proving fatal. The
sick Of the rebel army were daily be-
ing brought into Richmond, and one
fact was becoming very apparent to
the citizens there, namely, that the
hospital accommodations Of the army
were FAR less extensive than the ne
cessities Of the soldiers required.
There was also universal complaint
respecting the manner in which the
troops were fed. They assert that
their provisions were not only not
good, but in fact were positively un-
wholesome and the quantity receiv-
ed by each was SO small as to pros
duce the greatest discomfort among
them.
We are also assured by this man
that at one time in and about Rich.
mond, system of terrorism unknown
except in barbarous countries, was
continually practiced by the bands Of
soldiers there located, and their every
movement was smilingly countenanc-
by their chivalric leaders. In their
many marauding expeditions these
ruffians had committed acts Of the
bascst nature, such as would not be
believed by one in q thousand. The
houses of those they had the slight
est enmity against were entered. the
family circle invaded and broken up,
and in many instances the members
of these households had suffered
treatment worse than death.
JEFF. Davis and his piratical assist
ants are still striving to keep the
mass Of the people in ignorance Of the
unanimity of the sentiment that char
acterizes the North, and they endeav-
or still more to influence their pas
sions to that extent necessary to in.
duce them to embark in this crusade
against the Federal Government, by
villainous ISLANDERS and lies invented,
to the effect that the national army
only marched forth as pirates, to rob
and plumber. These, they proclaim,

ing Ia hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria Of Miasmattc Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while II cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURg" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AdUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
pvoach OF its prenonitory symptoms. isnot only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings il within the
reach Of every body and in bilious Districts where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have 1t and use it freely both for cure and protcc-
ton. Agreat superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of Inermttcnts is that il contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently il produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the eonsttu-
ton. Those cured by il are left rs healthy rs IL
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety OF disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheansafisns, Cont, Headache, Bind
ness, 1oothacAe, Ea,Gche, CatarTh, Asthma, I'aI-
pitafson, Painful Afection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
ics, Pain in tie Boscels, Cole, Paralysis and De-
rangesaeat of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts II taken
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excrcted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter.
mittents IL they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

write the painful news of the death of
B. f. Darland and II. Bcdell, also Of

ded. The Third Iowa Regiment had
an engagement on the 18th. four miles
from Liberty on the Missouri river.
The particulars are as follows Forty
two hundred rebels were entrenched
near Liberty. Our regiment number
cd 500, with about 100 Home Guards.
Some of the Home Guards, who were
ont scouting, bnpught in the news
that the rebels had all crossed the
river except about 400. Lieut.. Col.
Scott determined to attack them. In
marching through . piece of woods.
Company l being in advsnce,) the
road took turn to the right about q
hundred yards ahead Of them. There
was marsh on tho right Of the road,
extending q considerable distance.
Ahead of them. at the turn Of the road,
two men appeared and beckoned them
to come Oh. Some of our men want
ed to FIRE on them, but the officers
would not allow it. Lieut.. Col. Scott

The rebels knowing that they were dis
covered. Immediately opened FIRE from
the thick undcrbrush which lined the
road, and instead Of there being 400
of them, as our skirmishers had rcpor-
ted, there were 1900 lying there in
ambush. They had three cannon in
the brush at the turn of the road, thus
commanding the road along which our
troops we're advancing. Ours being
the advance company, we were in the
hottest Of the fight, and on us the en-
emy's fire told with fearful slaughter.
OF 4s men belonging to our Company,
only "a escaped unhurt. Three were
killed, and one has since died. Bedell
was shot and fell, but arose on his
knee. when another shot struck his
head and he fell to rise no more. B.
F. Darland was shot in the head and
then dubbed to-death with his own
gun. Thomas Mix, from Clarksville,
was severely wounded, and seeing a
rebel coming to kill him, he arose up.
on his knee, fired, and killed his foe.
At this moment another rebel came
up and stabbed Mix to the heart.
About this time a big fellow who
was by the side Of Abe, Abraham
Brubakcr, aged Is, and weighs only
hundred, who plead so earnestly to be
enlisted, turned to run, and told Abe
to come along. Abe refused, declar-
ing that he would kill one rebel before
he left. ~
Our men were ordered to fall back
and form again. The horses attach
ed to the cannon being killed, we had
to leave it back about twenty rods,
when Capt. Trumbull called for volun-
teers to SO back after it. Eight of
his men went back with him, cut the
harness and brought away the gun.
Col. Scott says the cannon now be-
longs to our Company.
Part of our wounded arrived here
today. Six are Of our Company; and
nine, among whom is Wolscy Hawks,
were sent to Fort Leavenworth. VOL
sey was struck on the shin.
The Union troops lost 96 in killed

loss to be 240 in killed and wounded.

Ed. 1NTELIIGENcER The rule that
| applied in my former numbers, re-
specting the confiscation Of Slaves in
the anarchical Territories Of this Gov.
ernment cannot apply to those slave
owners in the loyal slave States, ex-
ccpt to such as have proved dis.oyal.
But it must apply think in full force
to loyal masters, even, in the Seeded
States, from the fact that, as those
States have made forfeiture Of all
legal institutions therein, and that,
there is no legal slavery recognized
by the General Government. Slavery
is the creature Of law, (not Of right
and where there is no law, therefore,
instituting it, Slavery can have no
existence. Hence. although slave own
ers may have proved ever SO loyal
in their iadiridual oapaeily, SO long as
the State Government, by which alone
they hold their slaves, is rendered null,
there can be no longer any power by
which he can hold his slaves. Herein,
though he has committed NO disloyal
act, he is bound TO suffer in company
with those who have, and that like
"poor Tray" for no other purpose
than that Of being in bad company.
This seems unjust and hard, 'tis
true. in sense Of legal justice but
it is only one among the many cases
in which men have to make individu-
al sacrifices for the good of the many.
And this last is now being fully de-
monstrated in the legitimate results
of Slavery. an element SO antagonistic
to Freedom, having foothold in Q
free Government. No rejecting mind
can avoid seeing but that the present
raging insurrection, is the offspring
of the institution Of Slavery, and Moth
ing else.
In the event Of conquest on the part
of the General Government and the
entire crushing out Of the rebellion,
Slavery cannot again subsist in any
Of the seeded States but it cannot
be SO in regard to the loyal slave
States. although many individuals
sympathize with the rebellion. And.
as the loyal shareholders in seeded
States arc bound to suffer with the
guilty, and lose the benefits Of Gov
ernment, SO, in the loyal slave States
though the traitors to the Government,
forfeit their rights to slaves and all
other property, the loyal subjects
must have their property, slaves and
all. secured by the force of the loyal
State Governments which remain un-
impaired.
