A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and cer. tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro- duces no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if they had never had the disease.

ten days. solely on account Of bis Physi-
cal infrmaties. The recent act OF Con-
gress provided there should be DO reduc-
lion in his pay. substance or allowances
IN the event Of his withdrawal. It's well
known Gen. Scott has had an unsettled
account with the War Department since
the Mexican war. Secretary Cameron
has recently given examination of his
claims, now thirteen years old.
JEFF Davis's maligni'y brought him IN
debt on account of his expenditures and
receipts in Mexico, aud so far as the
Secretary's report could do II, discredlted
him as a financial agent Of the govern
ment. Mr.. Cameron has reported that
Gen. Scott was not only entitled to the
money he claimed of government, but that
he saved TO it millions of, dollars, which
by the laws Of wal he could have pocket
ed, under the unsettled principles regula-
ting the distribution Of prizes and conirl-
.bntion money. This opportunity of per-
sonal advantage Gen. Scott generously
diverted TO the founding of a home FOR
invalid soldiers. One of the monuments
long after he is dead, will be the Soldiers
Home, near Washington.

The Falls City Broad fire appears to

tradicted an i~nsinuation made by the Ne.
braska City NsUs near two months ago.

compelled to return them. If we under

assertions of the .News latterly, we would
find time to do little else, Mr.. lawn.
The facts are as the fire states them !:
that the horses taken to Fall City were
taken there by those who went for re-
cruits for Col. Hillman, Of Mo-, and on
his order, and afterward all promptly re-
turned.

we get along very well. We have all
our horses, men and baggage on board,

The noble action of Fremont's Guard,
is all the talk in military circles just now /;
and a feeling of Indignation is felt for
the miserable attempt on the part Of trail
tors in disguise, who are raising such a
cry against Fremont and McClellan-ev-
identity more to destroy confidence in them
and weaken our efforts to crush out the
traitors. Let every true lover Of his
country, and hater OF the secession aris-
tocracy, frown upon all such attempts
Let the base subterfuge meet the con-

A Venerable Hero and Patriot of
Kentucky.

The Tribune's Frankfort, KY, cores
nondept. in giving a view of war matters
in Kentucky, thus speaks of the venera-
bic patriot, Hon. W, P. Thomasson, who,
although his hair Is whitened with age,
has shouldered his musket, and united
with the Louisville Legion, being a mem
Der of a company commanded by his own
son. What a glorious spectacle.
The Hon. w. P. Thommasson, former
" a member of Congress from the Lou
isville district, later a citizen of Chicago,
aud an independent volunteer attached to
company G of the seventy first New York
regiment at Bull Run, has arrived in
camp and attached himself to a company
commanded by his own son in the Louis
vile Legion. Mr.. Thomasson was an
ardent emancipationist before he emigra-
ted from Kentucky, and was defeated for
the Constitutional Convention, in lS49,
upon the Emancipation ticket. He is now
an old man, gray-headed, and somewhat
stopped by g but his burning black
eve has lost none OF its former fire, and
his heart none of its fervid philanthropy.
This romantic woodland camp affords TO
sight so interesting as the hale, r%esolute
old man, in his plain citizens dress, sit
ting in some retired nook with his home
made Kentucky rifle in his grasp, wrap
ped in his meditations. While we may
not, with rash impotence o~utstripping the
plans of God, hope hat he will be spared
to witness the triumph of his cherished
principles throughout the world, yet let us
exult in the glorious hope that his puri-
fed spirit and ours, bending from the
~battlements of Heaven, will behold a new
earth, wherein dwelleth the righteousness
of universal freedom.

We have heard nothing of late scarce
ly, but the removal of Fremont. One
dav he has been removed, and the mex!
DAVIS report ~contradicts it. We suppose
the proper authorize S at Washington un-
derstanG their business, and have inves-
tigated the matter carefully. Yet we
can not but believe hat Fremont's great
ofence is a failure to recognise the su-
premacy of the Blair Family and fur
Their that his removal will seriously Grip
pie and retard the Western DIVISION
One thing we have no doubt in regard
to !; viz: that the President should either
promptly remove Fremont or let him alone!
This thing of keeping him continually in
hot water cannot fail to prove injurious.
Admitting all Frank Blair charges
against Fremont to be true, and In our
humble opinion, they would not justify a
removal. But many of the charges, when
investigated, dwindled down very mate
rally. For instance; b the charge of ex-
travagance, in paying 100000 express
charges on cannon, turns out to be about
$4,000; and the IS cts. for oats, to be
33 cts. We have no doubt that most, il
not all the charges, will show out about
the same way. If the Blair family are
looking for the Presidency, they will de
better to seek it through some Other
channel than that of riding in over the
rrins of Fremont.
