Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak. and poor. Being in the circulation. it
pcrvadcs the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease OH any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks nor is there one which it NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variou>ly
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
it seems to be the rod of Him who says,
VIII visit the iniquitics Of the fathers 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
tubercles; III the glands, swellings; and Oh
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-
quendy vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in 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 scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it,
10 cleanse it from the system we must rcnovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vgorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

From Western Virginia.

We have advices from Gen. Rose
Grams command in Western Virginia
as late as Saturday. On Friday
morning at 8 o'clock the enemy opened
fire with two guns from points oppo-
site the Gauley Ferry and Camp
Tompkins. The object was evidently
to cut off the supply trains. They
succeeded in sinking the ferry boat
on the Gauley, and threw about forty
shells into the camp of the 18th Ohio.
Not one of our men were kill and on
iy about half dozen wounded. The
majority of the shells thrown by the
enemy did not explode, and their mus
kerry was wild and irregular. The
ferry boat which was sunk on Friday
was raised that night and communi-
cation restored. Floyd's force is 1000.
1t was believed in camp that Schenk's
and Benham's brigades would be
thrown across the river above and be-
low Floyd and catch him.
+ Gen. Kelly still occupies Romney.
A Wheeling paper states that some
solicitude is naturally felt for the ten
ableness of his position:
"The rebels are known to be in con-
siderable force at Charleston, in Jefler-
son county, and Charlestown, by way
] IF railroad to Winchester, is but little
more than days march from Rom
icy. So that for all practical purpos-
s we say that it is within striking
8 ,istance This makes Gen. kclley's
osition dangerous one, to say the
east of it, and one that seems to de-
land the utmost vigilance of his force
keep from being cut off"
Gen. Kelley captured some four or
We hundred prisoners, among whom
Col. L. NJ. Armstrong, late member
the Richmond Convention, two
undred horses, three wagon loads of
ew rifles, three cannon, a large guam
ity of corn, tents, and in fact every
hing the enemy had. The loss OH
ur side was but one man killed and
We wounded. The loss of the enemy
,as between thirty and forty.

Gbt gntelligenter,
Gen. Lanes Proclamation.

Gen. Jim Lane has issued his Pro-
clamation to the people of Western
Missouri, now occupied by the Kan
sas Brigade. 1t is characteristic OF
the man and his mode of treating
rebels in arms. He informs the Mis-
souri, people that his Brigade are not
thieves, or plunderers, or jayhawkers,
but soldiers-soldiers regularly mus
tered into service and sworn to obey
the rules and articles of war-that his
Brigade is fighting for peacc-to put
down a rebeilon--to cause the Stars
and Stripes to float over every foot OF
American soil, &c, &c. To secure
peace and protection, General Lane
coniures every man in arms to return
to his home and resume his business
and he gives the people sound adj
vice on variety of topics, as we'll as
invites the County Commissioners,
Magistrates and Sherifls to visit him
and talk over matters face to face.
After talking to the rebelliously In
clined Missourians "like a father"
General Jim Lane thus warns them OF
the wrath to come if they do not give
heed to his peace counsels
Should you, however, disregard my
advice, the stern visitations OF war
will be melted out to the rebels and
their allies. shall then be convinced
that your arming for protection is a
sham. and rest assured that the trail
tor when caught shall receive trail
tors doom. The cup of mercy is ex-
hausted. Treason, hereafter, will be
treated as treason. The massacre of
innocent women and children by black
hearted traitors lately burning a
bridge on the Hannibal Il st. Joseph
Railroad, has satisfied us that trail
tor will perpetratc crimes which dew
ills would shudder to commit. They
shall be blotted from existence, and
sent to that hell which yawns for
their reception.
The two roads are open to you.
People of Western Missouri, choose
We between them. The one will lead
you to peace and plenty. The other
to destruction. j. LANE,
Brig. Gen. Commanding Kansas Brigade

Compound Extract Of SarsapariIIa,

the most efFcctual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bincd from the most active rcmedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul

in "iD,pUity ofHe blood" is founded i'll truth,

quantity Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail This
"CunE" cxpcls the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
ASD AGUR from the system, and prevents the de-
yelOpment of the disease, If taken the first APP
proach Of its pTemOntory symptoms. It's not only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
of complaints but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings II within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have il and use il freely both for and protec-
ton. great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of lntcrmittents is that ii contains no Quinine
or mineral consequently it produces no guinisin or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured by il are left as healthy as ii
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is no; alone the consequence OF
the miasmatc poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
NetDa,jil, Rheumatism, Cont, Heddache, Blind
