ing. Butler commenced in his usual
fierce way upon the distinguished Pro
fessor, when a Senator interpoScd and
reminded him that the witness WAS
Professor H,rsford, Of Harvard Uni

that kind-hung one the other day -
In the Courts Of Justice he was the
same, and frequently sent timid wo-
men, half terrified out of the court
room, his fearful voice and awful ugly
Yisage conspiring to raise scare in
the most courageous heart.
AS military man he is what is
known rs a martinez. or most rigid

--Popular! / guess you would think

GOVERNOR RANDALL TO THE SEC
oND.-When Governor Randall pre-
scnted the flag made by the ladies of
Madison for the End Regiment, in ad-
ditlon to some complimentary remarks
upon their conduct at Bulbs Run, ac-
cording to q correspondent of the Sen
t51ael, he used the following language
Fellow soldiers! When ! made the
appointments for the Second Regi-
mcnt, | am sorry to say I made a very
great mistake. The men appointed
were not such as the time and the ne
oessity demanded, and the mistake was
one into which many of the Northwes-
tern States fell. We had to make our
officers out Of the material we had, as
we make our soldiers. All had to
learn the business. The mistake has
now been corrected, and I have to an
nounce the appointment of a gentleman
as colonel of this regiment-a thorough
soldier and a brave man-in whom the
fullest confidence may be placed, and
under whose leadership you cannot fail
of, receiving the measure of credit
which has been before allotted you.

Ashamed Of their Comhanv.

Thirty four of the most noted New
\ ork criminals, whose likenesses are
hung in the rogues' gallery, have sent
In protest to the police commission
ers of that city against placing the like
| ncsses Of the leaders of the southern re-
bellion by the side of theirs; in the gal
lery of art above named. They state
their grievances as follows:
That we have endured these inhic-
tons, superadded in many instances,
by the deprivation Of liberty, without
murmuring. We learn, however: with
surprise and modification, that we have
been compelled TO undergo new and
unheard Of indi gnity-insult added to
inlury-as though the purpose was to
class us with the vilest robbers and out
laws. The liberty has been taken, un-
warrartably, unlawfully, and in viola
ton OF the statute, for the protection
OF private character, TO PLACE IN the
aforesaid collection or ''gallery," the
ALenesses of a gang Of banditti of
class infinitely lower, and more base
than any of your memorialists have et-
er, by choice or misfortune associated.
The portraits of Jefferson Davis, How
ell Cobb, Isaac Toucey, Gen. Beaure-
gard, r. H. Lee, John B. Floyd, Henry
A. Wise, Lawrence A. Keitt, Judah P.
Benjamin, David L. Yulee, and others
OF the same "school'' have been arrang-
ed with ours, as though we were deep
dyed as they:
While protesting against this whole
sale defamation of character, we re-
monstrate that we have at the most OIL
ly sought to live by our wits, while this
school of banditti, the Williams aforesaid,
have conspired TO ruin mighty peo-
pie, and to steal the wealth of an en-
tire Hepublic-to beggar and cnslave
continent. No thief at the cofin's
side, no operator in the panel, no mid
night burglar, ever conceived plot so
base.
Trusting your honorable body will
perceive this injustice, we respectfully
petition that the portraits Of the trait
ors, robbers, and sneakthicves afore-
said, now III arms against the govern
ment which has provided them with
bread, may be removed from the
''Rogue's Gallery" and your petition
ers will ever pray.

OUGHr TO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED
The Hons. q Breckinridge and Val

TAKING SHOT CooLLY.-In the late
battle at Bulls Run, soldier, around
whom the cannon shot were flying par
ticulaely thick, on seeing one strike
and bury itself in bank near him, ran
to fhe hole it had scooped out, remark
ing ''Shoot away, you can't hit twice
IN the same place" At the same in
staut another shot struck a few feet
distant, almost covering the fellow with
sand and gravel. Emerging from what
had nearly become his grave, he con-
tinued the unfinished sentence, "but
you can come SO pesky near it that the
first hole is uncomfortable"

IRISH OATHs.-The oaths Of the
Irish are peculiar, as, ''by the seven
pipers. that played before Moses the
night he was born" and that's musical
by my fathers beard, and that's a
hairy oath > ''By the powers Of mud,
and that's a sticky oath,' and varie
ty Of others; but of all the odd oaths
ever taken, that Of the witness Red
nond before q committee of the House
Of Commons was the most SINGULAR
Being interrogated rather strongly by
the. opposing counsel, as to his veraci-
ty, roared out, sEIt is the truth I'm
speaking, by the sowI of Dan O'Con-
nei, which is big, and your own soul,
which is little, my lord.''

which we have not seen in print

dinner party to some distinguished men,
among whom was Floyd, then a rising
man, but whose appearance indicated
neither mental nor physical superiority.

man, with crispy, wiry hair. Among
the distinguished guests were two In
dian chiefs, returning from a visit to
their "Great Father" the President
magnificent specimens Of their rdce.-
Floyd, thinking to compliment them,
and make them at their ease, told them
IN . condescending manner, that he
could boast Of Indian blood in his veins,
being descend ant Of Pocahontas.-
Ols of .3e chiefs drawing himself up

3 look Of conte.a,' rDon his noble coun-
tenance, said in broken English, "Ugh,

ness of Richmond society to keep the
other guests from exploding with laugh

WANTED TO SEE SOME FUS.-A
captain Of a New England company,
writing from Washington to friend III
Buffalo, says:
We got word that within sight Of
W Washington the troops were fighting
and our men were being worsted, and
in an instant the drum shared out the
alarm. For moment all was excite
ment. then, as men saw the necessity
of preparing quickly, the noise ceased
and knapsacks were packed, and am
intuition given out in the quickest time
imaginable. What do YOU think I said
TO my men? I quoted my old motto,
"Yake it cool" / told them that the
men that spoke loud would have to
stay and help guard tie camp, you
may be sure not a word was spoken
We had to detail! two men from each
company for guard TO remain behind,
My two cried ike babies. They said
they wanted to "see some fun if there
was to be any" The idea of grown
men crying because they couldn't go
to the fight, struck me as odd"

A RUNAWAY Wire ARRESTED BY
TELEGRAPH.-Mr. X, and his wife liv-
ed i'll Cincinnati; they were blessed
with plenty of this worlds goods, with
a nice home, a handsome little son,
and $4,000 in gold. But one unhap-
py day, Mr.. x. came home cross to
dinner. He and his wife had some
words; they quarreled and parted un-
happily. Mrs. X. went to the bureau
where the $4,000 in gold was. She
took half of it and bade adieu to Gin
cinnati. She arrived in Chicago last
Friday morning. A telegraph message
arrived about the same time, request
ing her detention as fugitive wife,
She was detained, and at 7 O'Clock her
husband arrived on the express train.
The twain met, looked at each other,
-laughed-and rushed into each others
arms. They left for Porkopolis the
same night, taking the sleeping car.

Colonel Berdan said he would 90 on


if any one desired him to do so.
But 1t was universally agreed that he
had shot enough, that he had ever i'm.
proved on his great reputation, and to
proceed further would simply be a
waste of time.
Col. Berdan, bis friends and the rep
resentatlves of the press present, then
proceeded to the field and gave the
target a particular examination. 1t
had been previously fired at, but the
holes made had been filed up, so that
the effects Of the recent shots were ev-
ident
The accuracy Of this firing was new
er exdelled. Col. Berdan, wiz. his
characteristic modesty, however, said
little about it, but arranged for the 1r;,
al of his men.
Forty-eight shots we're fred at the
target by members OF his company
all but four Of which would be classed
"mortal.'
They were within few inches of
each other, and generally struck the
region of the head or limbs. During
the PROGRESS of this work the Colonel
exhibited the greatest pleasure. Said
he OH one occasion:
"Ihese are all picked men. I can
not tell how many kegs of powder we
have wasted in getting them. They
are artists. II you wished to get up a
concert, would you engage hod- carri-
ers to make your music? This war
with the rebels is simply grand con-
cert, and we are going to teach Davis,
Beauregard q Co. to appreciate Hail
Columbia and Yankee Doodle"

one of outposts, while relieving GUARD,
was fired upon by 4 whole company
of rebel artillery, comprising flying
battery of six eight Founders. Two
balls and four shells struck him on the
head, taking the top Of his skull clean

LArER-3 ?. M.-When the dying
Corporal was raised to his feet he AL
ed for a chew of fine cut I gave it to
him from my own box. He then pick
ed up his musket, fired it, unfxed the
bayonet, and set it carefully away with
a melancholy smile. He then caught
a young darkey, who was grinning at
him, spit tobacco juice IN his eyes, wal
Topped boot black with his belt, and
was carried to the hospital. / saw his
right eve fall over his shoulder and
lodge in the small of his back, as he
was carried away. s'Can you see my

He will be buried early in the morning.
All the camp are in mourning.

Special dispatch to tile DIMES.
Washington, Aug. 2.
The rumor started by the HeralI and
repeated oy The Tryboon, is a mistake.
There is no such company as the Peel
ers, and no such regiment as the sixty
i ayers, from Minnesota:
LATEa.--I have inst learned that
there is nc such place as Oniontown in
Minnesota, and no such man there as
Corporal Blow. This I learn from the
Mayor of that place in person. The
alarm was canscd by the snoring Of a
Dutch bugler, which was supposed to
be distant artillery. Gen. Scott imme-
diately sent out twenty regiments to
reinforce tire picket. One Of the pri-
Yates fell on his head, and knocked
the small of his back through four Of
his ribs. 1t is an intricate case, but
the surgeons have hope of his recov-
cry. This is all there is true of the
rumOr.

MY THEORY Ant TREATMENT
Are new and different from any ono in the Unitod
States, and challenge any one 10 produce the Same
success that have met with in treating Chronic
Diseases. My theory is based upon the chemical
operations of the body believing diseases TO depend
upon dsproportioncd condition Of the fluids Of tho
body, whereby the solids be como unhealthy by
ANALYSING the sccrctions, blood, &c. of the body,
and finding out what is deficient or in excess and
supplying to the system what is wanting. | am
enabled to cure often by small amoun; ofmcdicnes
where the patient has been druggod with medicines
for long years to no effect.
Now dyspepsia in the great majority Of cases, de-
dcuds mainly upon n disproporfoned state OF tho
gastric or digestive fluids of the stomach. Whom
this gasc fluid is proporoned properly, the food IS
Thoroughly digcsted and assimilatcd. Viewing Dys-
pcpsia by the rules Of Chenicopathoogy, and giving
treatment accordinglyl am enabled to cure AZ cases
out of So and 49 cases out so of O. nsumpation AS
thms, Bronchitis and Laryngitis, and Liver Com
dlaint Piles, Neuralgia Dizziness Sick Headache,
Nervous Debility and Female Diseases in every
case a cure, and other diseases proporuonateN.
