gr Scorbutic diseases are the parent stock
from which arises large proportion of the fat
al maladies that aflIct mankind. They are, as
1t were, a species Of potato rot in the human
constitution, which undermines and corrupts all
the sources of its vitality and hastens its decay.
They are the germ from which spring Consump'
ton, Rheumatism, Heart Disease, Liver Com.
plants, and Eruptive Diseases, which will be
recognized as among those most fatal and de.
etructive to the races of men. So dreadful are
it's consequences to human life, that it is hardly
possible to overestimate the Importance Of an
actual, reliable remedy, that can sweep out this
Scrofulous contamination. We know, then, we
shall proclaim welcome news to our readers Of
one from such quarter as will leave little
doubt Of its eficacy-and still more welcome,
when we tell them that it surely does accom-.
plieh the end desired. We mean AYER's sAR.
sArARILLA, and it is certainly worthy the atten.
ton of those who are afflicted with Serofuis or
Scrofulous complaints -Rssister, Albany, N,

Since the lamentable rout Of our forces at Bull
Run, there has been persistent effort by many
Of the press, and by many citizens, to throw the
odum OF the rout, or defeat, on Brigadier Cen
eral Mcdowell When it Is remembered, how.
ever, that the whole plan OF the campaign, and
the advance to this battle. was the rlan Of Lieu
tenant General Scott, and made with the full
knowledge and under the eye of thoee higher
officers, the Secretary of War and the President,
the Commander.in Chief-that those higher Of
fcers controlled the movements, and were fully
possessed of all the information which General
Mcdowell possessed--it will be seen that,
though nominally the Commander, he was
simply an officer executing the order of his
chiefs; and that, whether there be blame or
praises, neither fall on the acting General. The
few miles Of distance placed the movements
within the knowledge Of courlers; telegraphs
reached from adjoining the field OF battle TO
headquarters In Washington. The responsible
ity, in truth, has been assumed by the Lieuten-
ant General commanding. and the blame does
not rest on Mcdowell. The Senate, to desig-
nate their trust, have since confirmed the pro-
motion of Mcdowell. ....
Still there TO-, In some quarters, persistent
effort to place the blame from OF the persons
who have Assumed it, and place II on others
One Of the most gross and nncalled for attacks
has been made BY the Ohio State Journal in its
chief editorial columns Of August 2, where the
defeat Is charged "to The drunken stupidity Of
McDowell'-a charge which we had hoped TO
see retracted. Made as this charge is made,
In the birthplace Of Mcdowell, where accurate
information could have been had, We had hoped
to have seen il announced, as We now do, that
the insluuations had not the slightest foundation
or truth; but, on the contrary, General Mellow.
ell never uses spirituos liquors in any form,
and is, and always has been, perfectly abstemi-
ous, and thorough temperance man. What
can justify such q charge It 10 impossible for Us
TO conceive. l,e l5
We take the above from the Cincinnati Times,
to add that the Journal has not retracted the
mean charge against General MCDOWELL. The
statement'of the Journal was that tour brave
troops are to be led to the slaughter no more by
the drunken stupidity Of Gen. McDowELL."-
We put the brand upon the infamous charge,
but the Journal has not corrected it, and We
suppose will not. Never was there more base
Islander uttered against any man. The people
of this city, bis birthplace, win not soon iorge'
this. ..- ,, ..-.,s.r,t,s

them an unreasonable debt Of gratitude.

Tae IDs1 ocracY Of FRANKLIN county


The Democracy Of Franklin county have an
importan. duty to perform on the SUN OF Au'
guss.s Wa the appointment Of delegates p
represept t1 ] several townships Of the county
and wards Of the city in the County, Senatorial
and Judicial District Conventions. The duty
of selecting delegates to such Conventions is
always importans, bat at this time more 50 than
usual. The Democratic electors OF each town
ship and ward should take care TO select no
man az a delegate, who Is not known to be re
liable and steadiast in his love Of the Union
and the principles Of the Old National Demo-
cratic Party. Never, since the beginning OF
the Government and the organisation Of par
ties, did the public necessity, and the fate Of
the nation itself, depend SO much on the iaith-
full maintenance of Democratic principles, as
at the present time. The Democratic organi'
zi,ion is The only power that can save the
country. Blot 1t out Of existence, and national
destruction viii speedily follow The Republi'
can party, after having obtained power in all the
free States and the Federal Government, before
its Administration has held the reins si1
months, coniesses its disability TO manage pub
lie affairs, and in Ohio inglcriOusly abandoni
its organisation, and its leaders imploringly
call upon Democrats to eomein with them and
make new organization, By this proceeding
on the part of the Repubiicans-this admission
of incompsteney Democratic principles stand
justified, and the thorough reorganization oi
our noble old party, on the platform Of the 7th
Of August, is made more plain and palpable.
Let the real, genuine and faithful Democrats
be careful to select and send TO the Conventions
referred to their best and truest men as dele.
gates. The necessity for this is apparent and
need not be elaborated.
