The First swedish FrIgate in New York
HarbOr.

The First swedish FrIGate in New York
HarbOr.
The New York papers of the l4th contain
the following notice of Swedish frigate
that lately arrived at that port:
Before Thursday the Swedish flag, with
one exception, had not flown at the peak of
a man-of war in this harbor for forty-uine
years. Three years ago the corvette Ngjaden
anchored off the Battery for few days, but
prior to that the Swedish navy had not been
Tepres nted in these waters since 1872, when
ship-of-the line and three frigates were
sent here for sale by Charles XIV (Berna-
dotte) Our new Visitant is the fiue frigate
NorrSkoping, which has touched here on her
way to the West Indies Her prineipal Of
ficeIs are: Captain, Adlersparre; Second
Commander, Fries; First Lieutenauts, Helm .
stierna, Peyron, Posse aud Lsgerheim; Sur
| eeoD, Beskow; Chaplain, Govennis, aud
Purser, Berggvist. They are all noble look
ing WeD, with open, frank countenances,
clear compilations, healthy, and of pleasing
manners. One or two can speak English,
| but all that we met are familiar With the
| French language. The crew, numbering
| three hundred and forty sailors, are the finest
| body Of men that we have seen in q long
time. Half of them are conscripts from the
merchant fleet in the Baltic; the remainder
| regular seamen of the Swedish navy.
The NorTskoptng mounts thirty two
| smooth-bore guns, and has also some mortars
amidships She left Plymouth on the 10th
OF October, and has consequently been fifty
eight days on the passage. The officers
express much regret that she is not furnished
with propeller to make headway in cams
She will probably remain a fortnight in port
during which time the officers propose tc
make a thorough examination of the city
and is enVirons, and, if possible, extend
their trip to Niagara Falls. In conversation
with our reporter, they expressed much in.
terest in the Mason and Slidell case, and said
that we had done Just as we should, and as
they would, under the circumstances. This
is the first voyage of the frigate.
She was built at Cariscrona, in Sweden
by native shipwrights, and would certainly
be credit to any nation. The officers in
quired of our reporter what sights were
worth seeing in New. York, aud when told
among others to go to Barnum's Museum
they laughed and said they knew Barnun
was the Prince of Humbugs, and that he had
been in Stockholm. They expressed regre
that little Patti was-not singing here now
for they had great desire to hear her. Thf
commander of the frigate, accompanied by
the Swedish Consul, paid a visit to thu
Brooklyn Navy-yard yesterday, where hi
was received with the honor due to his rank
Commodore Paulding went through the yarC
with him, and also took him on board tn

NUMBER SO
The Southern Account of the Escape o


The Richmond (vs) Examiner gives the
following rebel account Of the escape Of Floyd
at Cotton Hill.
The roads In the mountainous region Of
Virginia has been impossible for some weeks.
They render lin the writer's judgment) that
coun ~ safe from invasion for the winter. Con-
cerDibg Floyd's exploits about Cotton Hill, the
writer says:
General Floyd went down to Cotton Hill,
Fayette County, on plan concerted with Gen.
eral Lee. to take the enemy in tho rear, while
General Lee should occupy him in front, before
Sewell. Shortly before setting cut on his haz
ardOus end adventurous expedition, large
portion Of General Lees force was ordered to
Pocahontss County, and General Lee himself
was soon after sent to South Carolina, leaving
a very small force in front Of the ensmy at
Meadow Bluff. When General Floyd, there
fore, reached Cotton Hill, instead of being able
to effect any thing in the enemy's rear, he
found that the enemy were entirely free, if
they chose, to get in his rear, and 10 employ
their whole force to surround him. He held
his position, however, which was clearly un-
tenable, for several weeks, and only withdrew
when it became necessary, to prevent being
surrounded by two columns of the enemy
under General Schenck and General Benham-
which we're marching to a common point near
Faye Court house, in his rear. This move
meDt be eluded successfully, by reaching the
point before the enemy, which he did with some
hard fighting and very small loss of men.
He accomplished 1t without any loss of bag
gage or property, other than what was necessa
Ty to be destroyed and left in order to make
room in the wagons for the sick-of course
preferring to destroy property rather than leave
his sick in the hands Of the enemy. Some Of
his men were badly off for shoes in consequence
of several boxes Of numbers los, IFS and l2's
having been sent him from Richmond, NEGRO
shoes,) which, Of course, were too large for the
feet Of white men.
After battling Schenck and Benham by reach
ing Fayette Court house before they formed
their junction there, he saw very little of them
at all. In fact, it was impossible for them to
follow him In any force; and his subsequent
movements after leaving Fayette Court, house
were exclusively with reference TO winter quar-
ters. He has established his winter camp near
PetertOwn, in Monroe County, about forty
miles from the Wbi'e Sulphur Springs, and
about thirty from the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad at Newbern, Pulaski County. His
camp thus affords protection to both those
points, and is located in a country fruitful in
supplies. 1t is not deemed possible for the
enemy TO pass the mountains to either New
bern OF the Springs, such is the horrible condi-
tion Of the roads. 1t would seem that the enemy
are themselves convinced of this fact, as see
that seven or eight Of their regiments are an
nouuced as ordered to Kentucky, whore 1 AN
quite sure they will hnd the roads in as bad a
condition as in Western Virginia.

The n1ilense Of Congress.

The Compensation Act of 1866 whereby
the pay of members of Congress was raised
from So per day to $3 1000 per annum,
expressly cut off all constructive mileage"
and restricted the allowance of mileage in
any case to one journey per annum to and
from Washington. Congress may hold a
dozen sessions per annum, but mileage is to
be charged for but one of them; and this on
the simple, plain principle that the members
are now paid by the country for devoting
their whole time to Its service, SO that, if
they see fit, to take a run homo between
sessions, they have no right to charge the
nation large extra sum for so doing. They
are paid by the year and for the year, and
they must not charge the country more for
working half the time than they would be
entitled TO for working all the time.
Yet we see intimations thst an official de.
cison intimates that they may draw their
second years mileage at this session, as
though that will deprive them of any, at the
next Well, suppose all the members-or
half of them-having fobbed their second
years mileage this winter-should choose to
resign at the close of this session, giving
place to successors: what then2 Must those

burdened Treasury. If we had our way,
West Point would be closed forthwith, and

Scrofilla. or KINGS EViI,

is a constitutional disease, q corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitated,
weak, and poor Being In the circulation, 1t
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
fronrits attacks, nor is there one which itmay
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused, by. mercurinl disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venercal infection. What
ever be its origin, ii is hereditaryin the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generationyp indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the tiiniquidss 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; iii the glands, sweliings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous 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 not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system Most Of the consumption which de-
cimatesthcr rhumanfa has its origin directly
in this scrohflors contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
f. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are, invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

been discovered for the expurgation of this foul

We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints

proach Of its premonitory symptoms. Itisno only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class

quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for and protec

other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
