TIE OBJECT Of all medicine Is either TO pre-.
vent disease, or to assist Nature in restoring
the various organs of the body to a healthful
ac'on, ana that medicine is certainly the best
which will perform those Offices thoroughly
yet mildly, and without endangering the vital
forces Of the system, by whose normal condi.
ton alone health and strengthCan be preserved.
Most Of the Biters that have heretofore been
brought int" popular favor, have only served
the purpose Of temporarily stimulating or ex.
citing the organs into a condition resembling
healthiul action, without any remedial effect,
and generally followed by u return of the dis.
ease, or Il prostraton Of anervous energy more
disastrous than though Nature had been left TO
take its own course.
DR.. Greeley's Btters are preparation of the
nutritive properties of the grain OF the fields in
combination with the active principle of many
simple alternatives and bitter toncs, and II is Il
pleasure to the proprietors to state that its use.
lu'ness is being generally acknowledged by the
consumption in those sec.
tions where ii is best known, and by the testi.
mony of many eminent physicians, who have
not only made trial Of it, but continually pre-.
scribe the BitterS in those cases for wh!ch il is
recommended.

The Cincinnati GGsette, speaking Of the
proposed abandonment OF Fort Sumter, calls
on all defenders Of Ex-President Buchanan
to take notice that the present Administration
is not responsible for it. Prompt action at
the proper time would certainly have saved
the disgrace of retreat before srmed rebels.
II this latter event happens, it will only be
because Of the imbccility or criminality Of
those then in power, who allowed the favor
able opportunity to pass. We shall be very
glad if it proves that, even now. the much
humiliation of abandoning Fort
Sumter may bs spared us.

4. Major Andersen Faiths SIS

We are beginning to hear whispers of the
faisblessness of Major Anderson, and we are
iota to believe tina, the Major has acted other
wise than strictly honorable in ell his trans
actions. Still, our hope that such is the case
may not be we'll grounded. The Washington
correspondent, Of the New York Tribune
write, from the Capital ss follows:
Evidence is rapidly accumulating at the
War Department goi & to show that Major
Anderson has been playing 4 deep game for
his military superiors. For many weeks. the
steady temper OF his daily dispatches has
been, Send no rciuforcemen.s or supplies -
need neither troops nor provisions; there
fore, let me alone Suddenly-the moment
that Mir. Lincoln takes the re;ns Of govern
ment-the t1ne changes, and now Anderson
cries, Send me supplies. or starve e--scnu
me more troops, or it will be impossible to
defend the fort Why this sudden change?
Was not Major Anderson perfectly aware. six
weeks ago, that the batteries which were
being erected At every commanding point in
Charleston harbor would soon render rein
forcemcnt impossible? II so. why did he not
complain of the military works which were
intended to compass his destruction, and
warn his Government in timer It is stated
on very good authority that he did no such
thing, and that Mr.. Holt admits at least an
apparent discrepancy between Anderson's
former aud his latter dispatches. The Amer
ican people certainly will not condemn man
unheard, and last of all men Major Anderson !;
but he will. If he leaves Fort Sumter need to
clear up some of these misty points. 1t is
suspected in some quarters thatMr Buchanan,
upon his own responsibility, sent . secret
agent to Fort Sumter, more than eight weeks
ago, advising Anderson to take precisely the
course he has done, fully aware that the
result would be the loss Of the fortress His
justification of the act would be that bloody
conflict would thereby b. avo ded, and civil
war averted. This pretext has served him
for all his traitorous and imbecile acts, and it
Can be made to do its duty once mtre to
cover up the disgrace consequent upon the
fall of Sumter"

and some eighty members, from all paris OF
the State, in .tten lance.
James Lafromberse, head chief of the

with seventeen teams, for supplies from the
reirf oammittee, ard were supplied With
corn, -four, beans, meal and clothing, and
with wheat for seed. They claim the $780,
UOO due them from the Governm mt, for
which they have recently instituted suit
The tribe numbers 2700; and the head men
estimate that over 1000 are needing assist
ance.
Over 10000 bushels of seed-wheat has
been received and distributed from this
point, together with large amounts of gar
den and other seeds.
Nearly three hundred teams were loaded
with supplies of different descriptions, to-

The Vacancies ON the Supreme
3-l >4f Bench.

There are now two vacancies on the U. s..
Supreme Bench--one caused by the death Of
Judge Daniels, and the other by the resigna-
ton Of Judge Campbell, of Alabama. Among
al he distinguished gentlemen who have
been proposed to fill these vacancies, We have
not seen one named from the North West.
which is not and never has been represented
on the Bench. Judge Mclean, Of Ohio, is
the only one Of the nine Judges residing in
the Mississippi Valley. The others live in
the Atlantic States. We think it 10 due the
North. West that at least one of the present
vacancies should be filled BY man from this
region. We have no one especially to recon-
mend, but there are number of good men
and sound jurists in the States bordering on
the Mississippi river. from whom selection
may be made. We make this suggestion,
hoping that some ADLER and moro influential
Republican newspaper will adopt it and bring
it prominently before the appointing power.
Let Us have the great North w est represented
in this important branch of the Federal
Government.
