Our opinion il, thatin the present condition
CT our country. as for as our domestic al
fairs are concerned, there should be no mys-
terry or secrecy, in regard to the "se OF the
army and navy. If there are ''piots" on
one side, when they are counter plotted
on the other, let the people know all about it.
The country should not be agiated by ru-
mors and reports. The government at
Washington, it strikes US can make nothing,
gain nothing, effect nothing, BY refusing to
let the public know, authoritatively, what
its intentions and It's whole intentions are,
and the exact use it designs to make of the
public force under it's control

CIRCUIT Court OF PEl>cE GE"RGn's Cury-
rY, MD.-Aithough the civil docket was un-
usually large, the number Of cases ready
for trial was much smaller than has been
common. In The indictments Of Lagg and
Billing>ley for assaults with intent to kill,
each OF them We're convicted Of the assault
but not of the intent, and each was fined
so by the Court. Marcus Bicciord was
tried upon an Indictment for larceny found
at the last term. The nri-onor was aciuit-
ted. The case OF William Ghrismond, Of
Washington city, was tried-hc being indie
ted for the larceny Of eight head Of cattle
the property Of Thomas L. Berry. The
jury rendered a verdict Of guilty. The de-
fence moved tor uew trial.
Judge Grain will leave the village to-day,
having disposed of ell the cases in which
hecouId sit. Tie term will be- continued
Tomorrow for the trial Of certain cases be-
tween Marcus unVal and Edmund b. l,n-
Val and others. in which Judge c. refuses
to sit, ana 5. 3. Iancc, esq, will act as
special Judge.
During the term, the usual Chancery bus
mess has been transacted. On yesterday

plication Of George 7. Crauiurd and others
for an Injnnction, TO restrain +. S. Black
burn, administrator of David Cranfnrd, FROM
selling the personal estate Of the deceased,
until the rights of the complnnante az dis
tributes of said estate shall he finally ad-
Indicated. The Court held that, although
some of the reasons stated in the bill were
insufficient, the Others were adequate to sus-
tain the application. and Al Injunction was

Scrofula, or Kings Evil

Is a constitutional disease, corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes Initiated, weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, il pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part oft No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it NAV not destroy. The
scrofulOus faint is variousy caused by mercural
disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the yenereal infection.
Whatever be its origin, il is hereditary in the
constitution, descending 'sfrom parents to chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation; indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who says: al will
visit the inquites of the fathers upon their chill
dren."
| Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed tu
berces; in the glands, swellings; and on the sur
face, eruptions sores. This foul corruption,
which genders in the blood, depresses the ener-
gies of life so that scrofulous constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they
have far less power to withstand the attacks of
other diseases; consequently 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
decimates the human family has its origin directly
| in this scrofulous contamination; and many de
structive diseases of the liver. kidneys, BRAIN and
indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are ag-
gravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous,
their persons are invaded by this lurking infec-
ton, and their health is undermined by it. To
cleanse it from the system we must renovate the
blood by Alternative medicine, and invigorate
it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine
we supply in

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

The most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing fatal malady 1t is combined from the
most active remedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of the foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its de-
structive consequences. Hence it should be en-
employed for the cure of not only Serofula, but
also those other affections which arise from it,
such as Erup,ive and Skin Diseases. ST. Anthony's

Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism,
Syphilitic and Mecurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dys-
pepsia, Debility. and, indeed, all Complaints
arising from Initiated or Impure Blood. The
popular beliefin "impurity of the blood" is found
ed in truth, for Scrofula is degeneration of the
blood. The particular purpose and virtue of
this Sarsaparlla is to purify and regenerate this
vital fluid without which sound health is impos
sible in contaminated constitutions.
