Our Gun is now Loaded.

A little while ago, in speaking of the
apparent readiness Of our war preparations,
we took occasion to tell the story of Dan
iel Boone and the Indian, as illustrative Of
the condition of our nation. y; ,.l, ,f'.t
Tue Indian surprised the old hunter
asleep in the forest, and Boone awoke on
ly in time to save this life by dodging be-
hind tree. His gun was unloaded. II
lodged and ran as well as could" Boone
used to relate, "the Indian SO close at my
heels that / could not get time to load my
gun. My knife had fallen to the ground.
The Indian was fully armed and knew 1
bad nothing; and as 1 ran ! had to load my
gun. That was longest loading lever did.
1t took me baIf an hour at least. q chan
ged my tactics and made short work of the
'cussed varmin.'" O.. madi sfGi % gsd
20 Boon's case, we said, was the nations
case, as against the insurgents. They
caught Us asleep and disarmed us. Fully
armed themselves, and ready in all things,
they have kept US on the defensive, ward
ing off blows with one hand while we
loaded with the other; but at last our gun
is loaded. The first reports of its discharge
come to us Pikeville and Port ROYAL. Next
week we shall hear from East Tennessee,
and the firing will not cease until the white
indians are made to bite the dust. ~ A..

Simon Cameron and the LOuis.

Simon Cameron made speech at ths
Geo. D. Prentice Banquet, given BY Col

about armiug the negroes in case of an
emergency, and was very strong in bis
compliments to Mr. Prentice of the Louis

of the very speech in which Cameron com
plimented it so vehemently, pronounces
him disqualified for his position, and calls
upon the President to do the country JUS

"For ourselves however, we cannot re-
sist the opinion that Secretary Cameron,
having effectually killed off Fremont by
the publication Of Gen. Thomas private
report, is now resolutely bent on winning
at the sacrifice of bis own convictions the
place which Fremont held in the favor Of
the anti slavery men. The place Of hero
to the anti-slavery men is certainly vacant
at this moment, and if Secretary Cameron
is not bidding for it, We know not who is
or at what else the Secretary ca1 be aiming.

ter them:
Il "She left 10 the company of John Pax

Famine In Ireland.

T0rcateneO Famine III 1rcluuOs .
IA wall of distress reaches US from across
the sea. Ireland is threatened with an
other famine. The potato crop has proved
q failure, and thousands Of unhappy peas
ants are brought face to face with hunger.
The greatest CONSERVATION prevails among
the people. The alarm has been sounded
by the press and the pulpit, meetings have
been held, petitions for relief have been
circulated and appeals have been address
ed to the heads of State. Archbishop
McHale has called the attention of Lord
Palmerston to the subject in letter whose
revelations of destitution makes ones blood
run cold. The Archbishop says:' .sses
The potato crop-the staple food of our
peoples gone, and where not gone, is
so deterioraied in quality and favor as to
be almost useless as an article of food
On the sad state of the potatoe crop can
speak with an authority derived from OBJ
servation over large extent of Galway
and Mayo. Since the beginning of .Au-
gustI have been through the remotest dis
tricts of Clifden, Westport, New
port, Castelar,, Claremarris, Dunmore,
and Moylough-strange names which the
Government official will explain-and in
short through every portion from north to
south, and west to east, l have not only
heard the different reports, but have had
freqnent opportunities Of testing the quail
tiles of this eseuIent, l can safely and sol
emnly declare that Of this years crop no
quantity would be sufficient to maintain
the population, were it even more abund-
ant, during the coming half year. 1t is
high time, then, for her Majesty's Ministers
to adopt prompt and efficient precautiona-
iry measures if they are desirous that the
remnant of the Irish people should not be
swept away. sd 1as s.. sssnt5is illH -
~ This intelligence is as unexpected as it
is alarming. twill surprise most OF US
to learn that potatoes continue to be the
chief and almost only food of the masses
of Ireland. 1t would have been supposed
that the terrible lessons of '46 AZ and '4S
would have taught the People and taught
the Rulers--to make broader provisions
for the future. There is something almost
criminal in the neglect 10 substitute-at
least in degree-for an esculent which
has long since ceased to be rsliable-a

The Rosue,. March.

The u. 8. Marshal who accompanied
Messers. Mason and Slidell to Fort War
rem, gives the following interesting report
Of their reception at the Fort: rs
The passage occupied five days, includ.
ing one days stoppage at Newport where
she put in for coal, and was exceedingly
rough and unpleasant. The rebel commits.
sioners remained in the cabin nearly all
the time, although they were allowed the
freedom Of the vessel. Mason came out
on deck three or four times during the
trip, but Slidell did not make his appear
ance outside the cabin. The Marshal was
introduced TO the prisoners on first going
aboard, but held no conversation with
them during the trip. The prisoners were
not t1talkative with any one except them
selves and their Secretaries, Eustice and
McFariane, and the only amusement they
seemed to have was an occasional game of
backgamman. When they were first ia
ken on board, after tLeir capture from the
British steamer, Captain Wilkes told them
that he should endeavor to make them as
comfortable as his means would permit,
but he wished IT distinctly understood that
they were on United States Government
vessel and there must be no political talk
en- board. They messed with Capt. Wilkes
during the trip, and were made as COM
Portable as the boisterous voyage would
permit. They arrived off Fort Warren
early sunday last. ,..and at nine o'clock the
Marshal and Capt. Wilkes left the ship and
went to the Fort to make arrangement
with the commandant, Col Dimick, for the
reception of the prisoners. p
Everything being prepared the debarka-
ton took place at IL o'clock. Mason first
came out Of the cabin, dressed in Virginia
bomespun, aud as he walked up to the
gangway, on either side of which stood
Captain Wilkes and Marshal Murray, he
is represented as the most forlorn picture
of chop fallen chivalry ever Witnessed. The
look Of mingled fear and dispair depicted
upon his countenance, the Hopping Of bis
under Jaw, which the Marshal likens to the
movepent Of pump-handle, and the ut
ter want of heart and manliness with which
he bore his situation-so different from
the supercilous, defiant and domineering
airs which he used to assume in the Uni
ted States Senate-were calculated to in:
spire only derision and contempt in the
minds of spectators. After him came SIi
dell, somewhat less limid air, but still
his knees every now and then betraying
by their shaky motions the trepidation
which their owners strove to conceal
Their secretaries, Eus:ace and McFarlane
brought up the rear, and showed far more
pluck than their employers-being aware
probably, that their comparative insigni6-
canoe would tell in their favor when the
day of reckoning came. On leaving the
vessel the party bowed to Capt. Wilkes
who remained behind, and embarking on
board steam tug which was sent from the
fort. for the purpose, were conveyed with
their luggage to the dock leading to the
fort, which is about quarter Of a mile in
length, After landing upon the dock,
they were escorted to Fort Warren.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

Il constitutional disease, . corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
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 it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint 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 venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation )" indeed.
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, II
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers 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
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and ON
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor.
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous constitu.
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases: eonse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature.
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
crmates the human Ianlly mas us oflgln 0lrectly
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
fiction. and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise,
Such medicine we supply in
