SEVERE on ALL DEs.-"Sycamore," the
san Francisco correspondent of the Sacra-
mcnto Bee writes to that paper, concerning
the Scott affair, as follows:
Dir. SCOTS gaeat offense was committed in
a meeting of officers of his peculiar religious
sect. Not long ago political gathering was
held in Sacramento, at which all the chival-
ry sharp shooters of the State assembled
There were uttered sentences which consti-
tuted in their delivery the bodest and most
fragrant treason. jeff Davis was not only
prayed for-as the members might be sup
posed to pray--but death aud damnation
were meted out, in hopes and expectations,
for the true and only President of these
United States Where was the demonstra-
tion personal made against single one of
these traitors? They had their first and only
rebuke in the result of the late election. But
how much more deserving Of violent chastise-
meut than the Reverend Doctor They
plotted treason, and they openly proclaimed
their hatred and opposition to our Govern
ment They are now upon the streets daily, a
large proportion of them, and they are bow ed
to und fawned upon by some of the very
brave individuals who instigated this late
hurrah against non-comOatant divine.

BALL OF THE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The Union reports the financial success OF
the Society's bail at Sacramento as follows
There were two hundred and six tickets
received at the ball on Monday evening, in
surfing one thousand and thirty dollars to
the Society from that quarter, less the cx-
penses of the ball. Some three hundred
tickets distributed in private hands had not
been reported upon at three o'clock yester-
day afternoon. When heard from the above

WHAT WAR gs-War is game of ecence,
not n question of courage. An army of one
hundred thousand men may overthrow to-
day an army of one hundred and fifty thou
sand. II may kill and wound twenty thou
sand OF the foe. and lose but ten thousand
men itself; yet the one hundred and thirty
thousand of the enemy, being demoralized
and hors du combat will hardly venture, on
the following day to renew the contest with
the remaining ninety thousand Of the victors.
All nations are brave, but history is full of
instances where the brave have laid down
their nrms. The idea that any people cannot
be conquered is not even decent nonsense.
The notion that army without money, lcath-
er or lead: without a harbor or a ship at
sea; without a recognition or reputable
cause, can defy the laws of life and strength
and permanently withstand the mighty pres
sure of at least equal courage and continually
replenishing force is preposterous, and no.
thing else.

PARALLEL.-Some Union Secessonists in
this State are for the Union, but say that the
wicked North kicked up all the fuss, and
now, by continuing to remain in the Union,
compels the South to ego out and stand ;,
This attempt to relieve the rebels from all
blame for having waged war against the
Government, 10y declaring that somebody
else made them do it. finds a parallel in the
following anocdote:
A very celebrated lawyer was old Squire
Johns Being a man of great influence, and
withal very testy old gentleman when
aroused he generally said and did as he
pleased in court lie was once trying cas- :,
the opposing counsel being smart young
lawyer named Davis, who so worried the old
gentleman that he commenced cursing and
swearing most outrageously in court Such
a contempt could not be overlooked hy the
court, but Squire Johns was a man of Sc
much influence and consequence that the
court could not think of Furnishing him. Sc
the wise justices, after putting their heads to-
gether, announced that they would send
Squire Davis to Jail, if he did not stop making
Squire Johns swear so!

The SUNDAY LAw.-The constitutionality
OF the Sunday law was yesterday affirmed in
the Supreme Court. William Andrews had
been arrested and detained in custody in San
Francisco for "A violation of the law, and his
discharge was sought under a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that the law was un-
constitutional. There was a full bench pres
ent, and the application was argued by -
Rogers, of of San Francisco, for the
appellant The State was represented by
Attorney General Williams and Reynolds
and Sawyer Of San Francisco; when one ofthe
counsel for the State rose to argue the case
for the State, the Chief Justice stated that
argument on that side was unnecessary that
the Court was unanimous in the opinion that
the law was constitutional, and that it was
therefore ordered that the prisoner be re-
manded to the custody of the Sheriff. The
Chef Justice added that decision in the
case would be rendered some time before
monday next. 1t is evident, therefore, til at
the Sunday law must be observed until it is
repealed or modified hy legislative enact

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 mcrcural disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices. and,
above all, by the vencrcs infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary i'll the con-
stitution, descending T" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says. 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathess upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulccrous matter. which, IN
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed
tuberclcs; in the glands, sweilings; and on
the surface, cruptons sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders i'll the blood dcprssscs
the energies of life, 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 scrof:i!ous i'll their nature,
arc still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption Which de-
cimates the hunlan family has its origin directly
i'll this scrofilous contamination; ard 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 scrofilous

The telegraphic outgivings from Washington
this morning betray a degree Of alarm on me
part Of the Hessians which is altogether beyond
what we anticipated. Old "Fuss and Feathers
who supervisesa all intelligence by telegraph
coming from that city, is playing admirably
the part Of a valiant urcbin who always
whistles when passing a grave yard. since

deprived Of his "presence of mind" Defeat
hss fallen upon the veteran kIbecile as a
thundeTboIt from a clear and cloudless sky.
To prevent the Northern mind from discoV-
sriag the CONSERVATION prevailing at the fedc-
raj capital, the most vigorous system of false
hood is being daily regOrted to by him. SIMON
CAMERON, his secretary Of war, struck dumb
b. fear on the night Of the bsttle, had flashed
along the wires to his trembling mercenaries
the Injunction, to be Of good cheer, that they
might speedily retrieve their misfortune D
that a " large and irresistible army" would

ScoTT, following in bis footsteps, now seeks
to rally his cowardly hosts by like appliances.
With uublushing disregard for truth, he allows
the following palpable Justification to pass,
with his appreciation and under his s%urveil-
lance, among the dispatches to the northern
press:
WAsHTvGroN, July 23.-There is no doubt
of the reason why the rebels declined pursuing
the Tetrea ing forces.
A panic occurred among them, and they re-
tired to their Manassas entrenchments.
We only trust that this species Of " panic :"
may continue until the close of the war. II
two OF three OF a similar character are wit
messed in the next few months, we can safely
dictate terms Of-peaes to the Hessians on the
banks Of the Hudson.
But even this unvarnished lie is net sufficient
for his purpose. ScoTT bOastfully informs tbe
country that Mcclellan has 2rrived-the in
domitabIe McCLELLAN, who performed the
feat Of vanquishing a few hundred .gaerilias
in the nsigh5oraooI Of the Panhandle with a
force Of seven TO one-and who goes among
the "rebsIs - doubtless breathing smoke and
fire from his B~ostrfls, accompanied with threats
Of revenge and ret-ibution.
In addition to this reinforcement, I" every
thing is to be upset asd rsnovated-so as to
prevent another disgracefal defeat. The army
is to be reorganizsd, AID all incompetents in
continently dismissed from service. A militia
" board is to be established to adjudicate upon
the qualities Of future aPpointees, and, in fine,
most anything will be done to mitigate tie
modification Of having seen his "pet lambs"
scattered by the Southrons like chat before
the wind. The simple fact of the business is,
that light has dawnei upon the p%urb.ind Wis
ion of ScoTT, and, like ~BELsHAzzAR, be
trembles!
