DIFFICULTIES OF PAYMAsTERs.-Some of
the new Psymasters are likely to pay dear
nothing more thoroughly tied up with red
tape than the system of paying men. The
Paynasters are held accountable for every
thing, even to the proper construction of the
laws, and as their accounts frequently are
not audited until six or eight months after
they have paid off regiment any wrong
payment they may have made becomes their
own loss. Some Paymasters that know
have already been behind two or three hum
dred dollars on a single regiment. II they
have the good luck TO be assigned to the
same regiments second time, they may
make themselves good, but not Otherwise

Corrections of Adiutant General Thomas,
RepOrt

PHILADELPHIA, November l-E NJ Davis,
Assistant Quartermaster under General Ere.
mont, publishes l. tier in the Bulletin of
this city, this evening, to Adjutant- General
Thomas, making several corrections relative
to himself published in the letter of General
Thomas to Secretary Cameron. He entirely
eXculpates General Fremont from any con-
cern with his purchase of blankets and says
that when the report of the Board reached
General Fremont he expressed great dis
pleasure, and required the blankets to be
returned. They were not condemned as
rotten ard worthless and the only fault that
could be found with them was the economy
p,acticed in making them. The average
price of the blankets was 81 40; they were
part cotton.
Assistant. Quartermaster Davis made the
purchase in his official capacity; he can only
account for the misstatement from the fact
that while General Thomas was in St Louis
he was confined to bed, and that General
Thomas presumed, from the reports he heard,
that he had the whole truth before him.

AN ACCOMMODATING SUPERSTITION. - A
habit exists among the Esquimaux of Plac.
ing on the graves of the dead the hunting
implements used by them while living,
which are held sacred and never molested.
An American officer states that on a recent
voyage TO the Arctic regions they we're anx-
iops TO obtain as specimens some imple-
ments lying on the grave of an Esquimaux
who had been celebrated hunter. They
would not take them, of course, without con.
sent of the friends of the deceased, and failed
in their endeavor to purchase them. In this
dilemma, however, they we're informed that
the Great Spirit would be propitiated by the
substitution of some knives on the grave.
Knives, amounting amply to a quid pro quo,
were accordingly placed on the grave, and
the bunting implements removedi but, sin
gular to state, the natives, who considered it
sacrilege to take the hunters relics aPpro-
prated the knives one by one, till all had
disappeared.

THE GRAPE CRoP ON THE LAKE.-The San
dusky Register ssys, in relation to the grape
crop in that vicinity:
So far as we know, the grape crop has
never failed, and has never failed to ripen
well, in this vicinity, since the cultivation
of the vine was first introduced.
1t is true, that here, as elsewhere, the fruit
has some years matured more perfectly than
others. In all wine growing countries there
is a noted difference in the fruit, and conse-
quently in the wine Of different years.
While the vintage of one year becomes cele-
brated for richness and bouquet, that of an
other may be just as celebrated for its infe-
riority.
judging from the specimens which we
have examined during the past few weeks,
we believe the present season has been favor
able for giving US very superior fruit
1t is difficult to remember from year to
year all the delicate fiavors wrapped up be-
meath the tender cuticle of luscious Ca
tawba, but the impression is general that
richer fruit was never tasted than that which
is now being gathered hereabouts, and it is
probable that the vintage of 1861 will be-
come celebrated for the richness of its wines.

cEssVUL Three wise Long Islanders return
ing from the meadows lately with load of
halfdried grass, were brought to stand still
by the horses refusing to move, and in order
to effect change in the mind of the animals,
an armful of hay was placed under them and
then set on ere. The brilliant experiment
was so far successful that the wagon was
moved along until it came over the fire,
where it rested until the vehicle and contents
were entirely consumed Suffolk Times.

Hence it should be employed for the cure OF

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease. corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poon Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
il, disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The serofulous faint is variously
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 vencreal 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, 81
viii visit the impurities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs is termed
tubeTeles; Ia the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptiDns 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
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which. although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
systam. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
IA tins scrofllous contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver kidneys, brain,
And, fnil6ed. Of al the organs, arise from OF
are aggravated by the same cause.
0pe quarter Of all our people are scrofulous
tl,eir persons are invaded by this lurking in
1e1liun. and their health il undermined by it.
Tocleanse it from the system we must renovate
he blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigoratc it by healthy food and exercise
Such medicine we supply in
