REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
We owe the following to the House proceed
ings of the Both:
Mr.. POTTER, of Wisconsin, from the Select
Committee who were appointed to ascertain
the number OF persons now employed in the
several Departments who are known to enter
tain sentiments Of hostility to the Government
and have refused to take the oath of allegiance,
made report to-day, in part, stating that they
had given attention TO the subject, that had
scarcely advanced beyond the threshold of in.
qury. They have no hesitation in remarking
that the action of the House in the appointment
of the Committee has been fully justified by the
facts. Well authenticated cases of disioyalty
have been brought to their notice That such
persons should be retained when the facts have
bsen brought to the knowledge of those who
have the power of removal, must be q source
OF profound regret, and their retention can be
justified by no assumed necessity or inconven-
fence of the public service, and must excite the
Indignation of the Country. Having found Il
impossible to complete their investigations, the
Committee asked leave to continue the same
during the recess of Congress, with power o
take testimony. This was agreed 10.

The taxable property includes Al lands and
lots, with their improvements, dwelling houses,
chattels and slaOes The bill also proposes to tax
stills, boilers and other utensils used in distilling
spirtuous liquors. Is cents on every gallon Of ca
pacity. Fermented and malt liquors are to be
taxed cents on gallon, and spurious liquors 10
cents on gallon. Vehicles used exclusively for
the transportation Of merchandise are to be free,
but carriages are to be taxed those valued at $50
are to be taxed 81 those over 81 900 to be taxed
$50, with intermediate rates in proportion to the
value Of the vehicle
1t will be seen that the pro rata assigned for
Wise onsin is $719 533, which is more than double
the largest State tax we have ever had. Yet our
people will not complain if the General Govern
ment will only do its war work well and strong,

Pumpkins Among Corn.

4 writer in the Y. II. Journal of Agri-
culture says;
Many farmers plant pumpkins with
heir corn \ few may not injure it per-
-sptiby. 1t is believed by some that it
,kes as much nourishment to grow a good
;zed pumpkin as a good hill Of corn If
his be the case, where number Of loads
are grown to the acre, we think the pump
kin cannot be OF 81 much value as the corn
is diminisheA
The sentiment here expressed is held by
many Now, who has ever known that
pumpkins injured corn. Uncertain knowl-
edge is no knowledge at All, 50 to speak.
Who has any knowledge Of pumpkins IN

The corn has the first chance at the sun

soil and manure The pumpkins are plan

thin, or perhaps are planted uniformly over

with the knowledge of many a load OF fine

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 hayc
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other afec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PIMPLRs, PUsTULEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHBUMATIsM, SYPHILITIC and MERcURIAL DIS
EASES, DRoPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED or IMPURE Bloom, The popular belief
in 9 impurity of the blood is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this SarSapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pCrvades 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 1t 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 generatonF indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, g
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-
tions 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
III 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 surofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
tcction, and their health is undermined by il,
TO cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
Yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-

BELL AND EVERETT PLATFORM.

Whereas experience has demonstrated that
platforms adopted by the partisan Conventions
of the country have had the effect to mislead
and deceive the people, and at the same time
to widen the political divisions of the country,
by the creation and encouragement OF geograph-
ical and sectional parties therefore,
Resolved, That it is both the part of patriot
ism and of duty to recognise no political prn-
ciple other than the Constitution Of the country,
the union of the States, and the enforcement
Of the laws and that as representatives of the
Constitutional Union men of the country, in
National Convention assembled, we hereby
pledge ourselves to maintain, protect, and de-
iend, separately and unitedly, these great prin-
cipes Of public liberty and national safety
against all enemies, at home and abroad, be.
lieving thereby peace may once more be re-
stored to the country, the just rights of the
people and of the States re.established, and the
Government again placed in that condition of
justice, fraternity, and equality, which, under
the example and Constitution of our fathers,
has solemnly bound every citizen Of the United
States to maintain more perfect union, estab-
lish justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro.
vide for the common defence, promote the gen
eral welfare, and secure the blessings of liber.
ty to ourselves and our posterity.

MEssRs. EDIToRs: As skilliul political en-.
gineers, perhaps you can tell us what would be
the probable amount of shrinkdge in property
and business, public and private, in case
Washington city should become the seat of
Government of Southern Confederacy. We
take it for grained, that with but few ex.
ceptions, every man, woman, and child, in and
about Washington, is supported by the Federal
Government, directly or indirectly. Our ex.
pansion has been commensurate with that of
the Government, but we want skillful archi-
tects to make an estimate Of the property
shrinkage in the event of such change. The
data in your estimates must Of course include,
with the Departments proper, all Government
property and works, all buildings, statuary,
public grounds, city avenues and reservations,
Arsenal, Navy Yard, Penitentiary,, Military
Asylum, Supported by twenty-five cents head
per month from every soldier of the United
States army,) Observatory, Coast Survey, In
sane Asylum, Smithsonian Institution, &c. I;
and then please calculate, for the benefit Of the
farmers and gardeners Of the country, what
amount of stock can be pastured in the capa
cious streets and avenues of Washington, one
year after such change. Is it possible that any
property holder IN Washington city or county
can be other than thorough Union man?
