the most etfectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every

been discovered for the expurgation Of this foul
disorder from the blood. and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.

Scr0fula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this auid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor, Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst ont
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 mcrcurial 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

plants, but they have far less power to with

arc still rendered fataf by this tant in the

About half-past i O'Clock, P. n, with a

set her On fire before allowing her to fall into

the Oregon was one reFolver, belonging to &
passenger. No troops could be seen On ShiI
Island, nor was there any hag aoatiug there.

NEW VIRGINIA.

The Legislature Of the loyal government
Of Virginia, convened at Wheeling yester~
day. One Of its first duties will be to elect
two Senators to represent the Old Dolnin-
ion in the National Council at Washing
ton-tAe traitors, Mason and Hunter, hay
ing out lawed themselves. 1t is conceded
that the bold and gallant John s. Carlisle,
will be chosen as one Of the new Senators.
Who the other one will be is not known,
but r,2cbab1y he viii be taken east Of the
mountains.
The Legislature assembled at Wheeling,
although but provisional IL its character
owing to the revo1utionized condition OF
The Stale, is yet the only constitutional
body which can be recognized as the law
making power. The Senate will, without
doubt, promptly admit the members whom
the Legislature may choose. The United

4 splendid comet made its appearance
last evening in the northwestern heavens
its tail reaching nearly to the zenith.
Mr. Thomas Bassnett, Of Ottawa, writes
to the journal as follows concerning the
strange visitor:

evenings, the great como, of 1864 and 1856 sudden

fplcudor. Its tail IL almost straight, yet, II any

will pursue track eastward, faEorab1y for cSlia~
iting IT. s1oagoifcent proportions for two months
to come II will probably not attain Its full size
aid t.;llisacy until about the first Of August
If BIZ Bassnett is correct in pronoun-
cling this the comet Of 1864 and 1856, il is
the fifth, We believe, whose periodic return
has been verified by observation. The
interval between its first and second re-
corded appearances is 292 years, and be.
tween its second and third 305 years. The
re,ilt liz ii distance Of this comet had tii

For the moment the war stands secondary

Impression is that Col. Blair will be elect

by himself and due to the Union men Of
Missouri; and that the subordinate officers

foist the disorganizcrs into their coveted
