WELL sA1D.-The Chicago Tribune.

WILL SA1D.-The Chicago Tribune, a
few days ago, uttered the following excel
lent advice and counsel to military officers:
1t is time that commanders. should take
this matter in hand. The fighting will not,
we hope, be confined to the border. As our
arms push their way south, they must con-
vince as well as overcome-convince the
people, not the leaders, that our purpose is
to save, not to destroy; that the presence Of
the federal troops is guaranty Of safety to
the person and property that is never viola
ted. Only belief 10 our desire to do right
can maintain obedience in the states that
may yield to our superior force.

An acknowledging youth made his
appearance at the recruiting Office at Ian.
caster, New Hampshire, few days since
and desired to enlist as a sharpshooter. His
extreme verdant appearance created con-
siderable merriment among the spectators,
and it was proposed that he should try his
skill on the head oflJef. Davis at the re.
quircd distance. Inspecting bis rife mo-
ment, he raised it and put ball through
the side of the nose. The company sup
posing this to be chance shot, made him
fire again, when he put second ball
through the other eide Of the nose. He

REBEL EMlSSARIES- THE ENGLISH PRESS
ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
Advices from Europe per last steamer,
shows that the rebel emissaries in London
and Paris we're very confident and noisy in
the belief that the necessities of the manu-
featuring interests will lead to an Interior
ence in the American contest for the purs
pose of breaking the blockade to procure
supply of cotton. 1t is nevertheless evi.
dent their cause is loosing ground both
with the people and press of London.
The London Post, (Palmerston's organ
has strong article against any interfer>
ence, and exposing the fallacy of tue notion
that the recognition of the rebel States
would reopen the cotton trade--that on the
contrary, the recognition would only increase

Personal BEAUTY.-TheTe is scarcely a
person in the world who does not desire TO pos
cess a good personal appearance. How much
does fresh, rosy complexion add to the beau
ty Of both man and womanl How few really
possess that charm! Yet there is scarcely a
person that might not have a good complexion.
Let Us prescribe for you read the ADVERTISE
msnt in another column Of "MeIwin's Blood
searcher," procure the medicine, and take it
as per directions, and our word for it, you will
never regret our advice. The blood is the life,
and unless it courses through your veins pure
and unadulterated, you cannot expect to be
either beautiful or healthy; cleanse ont the
vitiated blood whenever you find its Impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, erup-
tiUns. or sores; cleanse it when you find it is
obs.ructed or sluggish in the veins; even when
no particular disease is felt, you will live
longer and enjoy better health by cleansing
the blood. "Merv in's Blood Searcher'' is
particularly recommended for all female com.
plants. It is natures restorative, eradi-
eating all p%imples, blOtchcs, etc, ETC., leaving
the skin as soft and beautiful as an infants,
causing The rose to mount the cheek of palor.
and health and happiness to beam forth from
the dOwn-cast and saddened eye.
