MYSTERIES OF THE HABEAs CoRPUs.-A
st. Louis correspondent of an Eastern pa
per says:
Among the applicants for a writ of ha-
beas corpus was one of The Camp Jackson
captains, young lawyer who had adopted
an ingenious device to get rid Of his parole
aud oath of allegiance, but it didn't work
SO beautifully as he expected. He went to
the arsenal and renOunced his parole, aud
again surrendered himself prisoner, and
of course was detained as such. He lmme-
diately sues for writ of habeas corpus, to
test the legality of bis arrest, and make
case for all the rest. Judge Catron decided
that if the promise be made when released
from arrest at Camp Jackson was invalid, II
did not interfere with his liberty, and 1t did
not cause his present alleged detention, for
he voluntarily renounced his freedom, and
was now held in obedience to his free choice.
The captains predicament was here made
SO ludicrous that the hnmor of even the Sc.
cessiOnists had to give way, and they smiled
with the rest The captain is still at the ar
senal, wondering over the mysteries OF the
habeas corpus act.

Porsonol Appearance of Gen. Mcclellan.

pcrsonnl Appearance Of Gen. Mcclellan
The Washington Star says: General
McClellan's face is not familiar to the public
vet and at the "press' interview at bis
quarters on Thursday night he made his en-
trance among the gathering of newspaper
men, and was proceeding in quiet conver-
sational tones TO unfold bis views upon lhe
subject matter of the meeting quite unrec-
ognzed by the majority present. In TACT
his 5 feet proportions were completely lost
in the group, and widening OF the ring
was instantly proposed by the outslders-os-
tensibly that they might better hear wnat
he was saying, but quite apparently lnat
thew might get fair look at the coming
man, He is of almost boyish appearance,
(looking 25, but probably ten years older,)
is of NaDoleonic figure, slightly Inclined to
fullness about the waistband, has good
head firmly planted on neck of bovine
force upon ample shoulders, hair snugly
cropped, but not filed, ruddy aud brown
complexion, blue eyes, nose sprlnGlng from
his forehead at sufficient angle to indicate
character, clean cut chin, and mouth Ihe
lines of which indicate good humor ana
llrmness in about equal proportions. Lu
dress he might readily pass for private
soldier of the Rhode Island "persuasOn,
wearing blouse and pants OF blue WOOL
shoulder strapless, vestless and with the bine
of his blouse so sweated through upon his
linen by the hot days work, that it was
hard telling whether the Mcclellan shirt was
a blue one faded or white one dlscolored.
Gen. Mcclellan is not fluent OF speech, ap'
parently, and doubtless doesn't care 10 pe.
That there is some little quiet fun Ill MS
composition was apparent at the interview,
and on the suggestion beTng made that tne
pictorial papers should be severely taikeu
to for giving representations of our military
works and operations, he seemed to thlnK
that they could be safely left alone, as quite
as likely to confound as to instruct the
enemy.

DESTRUCTION OF NEWSPAPER OFFICE IN
CONCORD, N. Hon the 9Th instant some
returned soldiers of the First New Hamp-
shire Regiment, together with citizens, de-
stroyed the office of the Democratic Stand
ard, at Concord, New Hampshire. The
Standard sympathized with the South, and
had published an article rejecting on the
soldiers. Retraction was demanded and
refused The Palmegs, (the conductors OF
the paper,) it is said, detied the mob, and

TIE GREAT "UNIoN" Gun The large
riaed cannon "Union" now at Fortress
Monroe, is to be mounted on the deck of
the Minnesota. 1t carries three hundred
aud fifty pound shot, and is supposed to be
the most destructive weapon ever mounted.
Neither its range or initial velocity is as
great as some other guns, yet the weight of
the shot will be such as to sink any ship.
and ultimately destroy almost any fortih-
cation. The projectiles for the gun had not
arrived.

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the cxpurgation OF this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from it's destructive consequences
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERuPrIvE

is CONGREGATIONAL disease, xoorruption of the
blood by which this huid bocomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being Ia III circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out

from its attacks. nor IL there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously

above all, by the vrnrrcui 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, ~
will visit the iniquities 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
tubercles in the glands, swelings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrnfnlnns constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although nor scrofulons in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
CLIMATES the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver. kidneys brain,
and indeed. of all the organs, arise from Or
are aggrnvatrd by The same caase.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection and their health is undermined by il.
To cleanse it from, the system we must renovate
the blood by an attentive medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
