Deafness.

1t is so rare that deafness is cured that
we take great pleasure n calling attention
to the two following cases, in this vicinity,
treated by DR.. Knapp, oculist and Aurist
of l57 Prospect Street, Cleveland. One,
that of a lady. who in vain had tried the
skill of other Aurists. was restored to the
hearing of a watch held at two feet distant
from her. The other was of a young man,
afflicted nine years, who I'M few weeks
was restored to perfect hearing. 1t is said
that deafness is seldom or never cured ex-
cept by a regular Aurist, those who are
deaf will do well to call on Dr Knapp

Among the Geographic dispatches to the
Cleveland Herald is the following.


Cleveland Herald is the following.
WASHINGTON, April II.
Senator Douglass called on the President
to-aight. He had an interesting converse
ton on the present condition of the country.
The subject of it was. on the part of Mr..
Doulass, that while he was unalterably op-
posed to the Administration on all its po-
litical issues, he was prepared to sustain
the President in the exercise of all eonsti-
t%utiOnal functions to preserve the Union,
maintain the Government. and defend The
Federal Capital. Firm policy and prompt
action were necessary. The Capital of our
country is in danger. and must be protected
at all hazards, at any expense of men and
money. He spoke of the present and fu-
ture without reference to the past. Mr..
Lincoln was very much grati6ed with The
interview.

FORT

Fort Sumter is a truncated pentagon.
or FIVE sided fertilization. The walls are
sixty feet in height. and are from eight to
twelve feet in thickness on four sides, but
on the fifth side, are but four feet thick.
They are built of solid brick and concrete
masonry. The fort is situated on the west
side of the ship channel with its base,
which is the weaker side, towards the land,
and nearly parallel to Fort johnson and
the battery on Cummings Point. The
walls on this side were originally loOphol-
ed for musketry, but Major Anderson has
had the embrasures stopped with stone
and secured with lead.
The work was designed for an armament
of l4O guns arranged in three tiers, one
over the other. The upper tier are en-
bqr6ette. not being protected overhead
The two other tiers are under bomb-proof
easements; the lower one being construct
ed to contain forty-two FOUNDER Paixhan
guns; the second for eight and ten inch
columbiads for solid or hollow shot; the
third for t~Henty-four Founders and NOR
tars. Eleven Paixhan guns are said to
have been mounted by Anderson on the
first tier. The regular war garrison of
the fort is GOO men. but the force at the
time of attack was but 100. including Ia
borers. musicians, &c.

The Carolinians were surprised that the
fight was over 50 soon.
After the fag staff was shot away Wig
fall was sent by Beauregard to Sumter
with a white flag, to offer assistance to
subdue the flames. He was met by An
derson, who said, Il Just displayed a
white flag, but the batteries have not
stopped firing" Wigfall replied, Amber
SON. you must haul down the American
flag. Surrender or fight is the word"
Anderson then hauled the flag down.
Gen. Beauregard's staff came over and
stipulated that the surrender be uneOndi-
tional for the present. and subject to the
terms of Gen, B~cauregard.
Maj Anderson is allowed to remain IN
actual possession for the present.
Negotiations were completed last night.
Maj. Anderson's command will e~vacuate
Fort Sumter in the morning. and embark
on the war vessels now off the harbOr.
Five of Anderson's men are wounded,
one supposed to be mortally.
After the surrender a boat with ten
men was sent from the ship of war outside
to Morris Island. requesting permission
for the vessel to enter and take off Ander-
sons command.
1t is reported that Anderson surren-
dered because his quarters and barracks
were destroyed. and he had no hope of re-
Inducements. The feet lay by 80 hours,
and couldn't or wouldn't help him. His
men were FRUSTRATED by over exertiOn.
The explosions heard at Sumpter were
caused by a lot of shells igniting. The
barracks caught FIRE three times by hot
shot from MOultrie-
Everything is ~dismantled. and the walls
look like honey-comb.
MOultrie is badly damaged, and houses
on the island are riddled.
A boat was sen from the fort to night
to officially Eotify the feet of the surrender

The present Fort johnson is simply a
huge sand battery. erected on the site Of

four heavy guns, manned by two cOmLa-
MES of regular artillery.
FORT M%oULTRIE.
Fort Moultrie is one of the sentinels
that guard the principal entrance to Charles

huge water battery, without any guns I'M

en- guns of heavy calibre and several NOR
tars. The cutter and inner walls are of
brick, capped with stone and filed with
earthamaking solid wall fifteen or sixteen
feet in thickness.
CASTLE PIScKNEY.
Castle Pinckney is a small work. situa-
ted on the southern extremity of "Shute's
Folly Island" between the Hog and Fol-
ly channels. Though in itself not a very
considerable military work, yet. from its
position, commanding as it does the whole
line of the eastern wharyes. it becomes of
the utmost importance for it to be held by
the State authorities.
The height of the rampant is twenty,
and the width thirty-two feet. The width
of the outer wall and of the parapet is
six feet; the depth of the classmates is
twenty feet, height ten; the diameter least

John Browns Colonization Scheme

JOHN BRowS, Jr, was at Windsor, Canada,
last week, endeavoring to induce the colOred
population to emigrate to Hayu. The Detroit

He proposes to establish through route from

duds and leave the cold and uncongenial climate
of Michigan and Canada for warmer one in

African and Indian descent free of charge -

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is 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 taint 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.
1t seems to be the rod OF Him who says, "I
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
tubeycles III the glands, swelings; 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; conse-
Quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature.
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
i'll this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, 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

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every.
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t Is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of tho
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as EnupTIvR
