Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
peryades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which IL may

caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis

To ANDREW G. CURTIN,
Goperaor Of PennsylVaniI
For reasons which appeal to my seli-rcspect, i
cannot consent To Continue any longer In cOnasc-
tion with your administration. I iherefore tender
you my resignation of the office Of Attorney
General OF the State.

It is understoo d that one OF the causes which
produced this result, the fact that the tor
ney General was not, in accordance with the usual
custom, consulted in the appointments made
Francis Jordan, of Bedford, and d. A. Finney, of
Crawford, are spoken of his successor.
There are at Camp Curtin now twenty one full
companies, but they net organized into regi-
meats. AS fast as organized, the regiments from
Pennsylvania have be ordered to West Chester
York, Chambersburg, and Washington, and at this
time the number OF troops encamped az Camp
Wayne is two thousand, at York Eve Thousand, at
Chambersbnrg three thousand, at Harrisburg two
thousand, at Pi.tshurg two thousand, besides iour
or five thousand In Washington, Perryville, and
along the line Of The Northern Central Railroad,
guarding the bridg es.
There has been mach complaint against the State
Administration for tho bad quality of clothing far
nished to portion Of the troops. It is undesirable
that many Of he uniforms, blankets, and shoes
have been of the most worthless description, but it
should not Do altogether forgotten that considrra
ble number OF the troops have been well uniformed,
armed, and provisoued, and / am informed by the

Starvation in Kansas.

ArcH1SsoS, K. T., Feb. 4.-,1cssrs.
Hyatt and Pomeroy have prepared the fol.
lowing appeal to the States, which repre-
sents truly the condition of the people Of
Kansas, without question. 49,.
STARVATION IN KANSAS -FR1Gu1Fu1
PRosPEcT.-Eut one step between 10000
people and death-au appeal to the press
OF the country, to the churches, to Con-
gress, to State Legislatures, to philanthro-
pists, to the humanity ever rywhere.
Prompt action by the country, or a mir
acle from God can alone save this people.
The famine, like vortex, draws to its
frightful cantre all conditions They who
had food yesterday have none to-day-they
who have food for to-day. have none for to
morrow. Seventy teams arrived yester-
day, fifty were loaded and sent away the
day before. Ten thousand dollars worth.
o. clothing have been distributed within
the past week; six thousand dollars cash
within four days have been paid for freight;
eighty-onc car loads of provisions have ar
rived within that time, yet starvation is
imminent. The people are living from hand
to mouth, but barely saved alive. Our
funds are now exhausted. The numbers
of the destitute increase fearfulIy. The
melting SHOWS Of February, and the over
flowing streams must shortly prevent the.
distant sufferers from coming here to get
supplies Their salvation depends upon
our promptness in establishing depots Of
provisions at accessible points. Without
funds the whole work must cease. Tho
intcrnission Of week is death and DESC
lation. Unless the country gives us seed
there can be no harvest and the seed wheat
should be in the ground within forty days.
At least hundred thousand dollars is
needed for food, and as much more for seed.
To the heart Of the country, and in the
name of Christ, We make this earnest ap-
peal, [Signed] TnADDEvs HYATT,

Think Before You Sign.

Some men have fatal facility in sigh
ing petitions and memorials No matter
what the subject of petition, no matter
what the phraseology of the memorial, it
is enough for them that certain respect
able names are appended to it, or that
their own names are solicited by some re-
spectacle and responsible person. Thus it
is that memorials which could not bear an
hours discussion by intelligent men, often
come before the public with the apparent
sanction Of thousands of names.
We caution the citizens of the State of
New Yo,k against memorial to Congress,
now circulating, which invokes that body
to adopt substantially ''the plan of Com
promise recommended by the Represent
atives of the Border States" This Me-
mortal goes forth uuder the auspices of
gentlemen of high responsibility in this
city, and their names may induce many
to sign it without reflection. We call at
tcntion, therefore, to the following state
ment: ''Without discussion as to the
merits of the various questions at issue,
believing that the perpetuity Of the Union
of these United States as one nation
Is Of pastly more Importance than the es-
tadlishn'ent or rejection Of this Or that
sub bject of controversy, etc.-your memo
rlalisls humbly pray" We put it to the
conscience of the Christian reader, can
you give your name to such statement
Do you believe that, in order to preserve
a particular form of political organization,
nation should commit moral wrong
Is not slavery-thc system OF human
chattelism established in the Southern
states-a moral wrong? Can you become
a party, dare you be a party to any meas
ure that would impose that system upon
New Mexico, and legalize it under the
Federal Government? Dare you be party
to any measure that would re- open the
African slave-trado, with all its horrors
Dare you be party to any compromise
which shall bind you to uphold, strength.
en-, and perpetuatc that system of in,quity
Or even to be silent concerning it? Yet
this is what this memorial asks you to do
Though the agency Of your representative
in Congress. We are sure that the gentle
men who drafted it could not have weigh
ed their words. We feel sure that no
Christian who carefully reads it and
prayerfully weighs its meaning, will add
his name to such declaration.
Can peace be bought by bartering away
justice and right Can the God of Right,
now indignant at our national crimes, be
placatcd by such an Offering? Come what
may, let Christian men remember that the
only safety Of this nation lies in doing
right. And there can be no compromise
with slavery which does not involve a
moral wrong. Sign NO PETITION FOR
