U. S. Senator for Illinois.

vacant by the death of Judge DouGLAs, Is
made the occasion by the Dubuque Her
AID and few other sheets of like seces-

"no parties" now, those who heretofore
acted with the Democratic party should
secure the benefit of all the offices IL the
Gift of the national and State administra-
tons. In the appointment of Mr. Brown

the qualifications of the man more than to
his previous political views. Mr.. Brown

party he has acted with the Republicans,

SARzA-We have longsupposed this celebrated
drug, had come to be exploded humbug, but
we are assured by those skilled in the healing
art that not the Sarsaparilla itself is to be blamed
for this conclusion, but the miserable worthless
preparations of it that have been palmed off upon
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which contain about
as much of its virtues as they do of gold dust. 1t
is commercial fact that almost all the Sarsa-
parilla gathered in the world, is consumed in the
old countries of Europe, where the science of
medicine has reached its highest perfection, and
where they know the best what to employ for the
mastery Of disease. Hence we are glad to find
that we are now to have a compound of this ex-
cellent Alternative, which can be relied on, and our
community will netneedb be assured, that anything

The WAR NEws.-It would be impossible to
describe the intensity of the feeling that the
news created in our city. On Saturday all day
and up to a late hour at night, the streets were
thronged by eager inquirers, who watched anx-
iously for every scrap of intelligence that the
telegraph sent forth. The feeling was that right
should prevail, and every pusation of every heart
beat with prayer for Major Anderson and his
gallant little band The excitement continued
and even increased on Sunday. However war
may be deprecated and dreaded, whatever efforts
NAV be made to avert its calamities, past expert
ence has shown that when the country is once
engaged in il. those who were the slowest to ac-
cept the alternative of the sword will generally be
found the most reluctant to sheathe il. and never
will while stain Of dishonor would attach to the
act
We were sorry to see few persons-but they
were scarcely worthy of notice-who strove to
take advantage of the patriotic impulses of the
people to forward their own narrow and selfish
ends, and to vent their partisan spleen. Such
men will never fight an open foe. And we ven
ture the opinion now that, if the contest, which
every true patriot deplores, should continue,
they will be found. like yultures, lowering over
the fields where the brave spill their blood, and
not upon thern. upholding the proud flag they
affect to revere.
