DAUGHTERS TO SELL.
SUNG BY A LADY OF FASHION

SUNG BY LADY OF FASHION.
Daughters to sell. Daughters to sell
They cost more money than | can tell
Their education has been first-rate;
What wealthy young nobleman wants mate?
They sing like nightngales, play as we'll:
Daughters to sell Daughters to sell
Here's my fine daughters, my daughters, oh !
German, Italian, and French they know,
Dance like Sylphides for grace and ease;
Choose out your partner, whichever you please
Here's nice wife for a rich young swell;
Daughters to sell F.! Daughters to sell
Beautiful daughters, dark and fair
Each treasure to suit millionaire,
Or fit to pair with any dukes heir
At St. Georges Church by Hanover Square
Hoy! you that in lordly mansions dwell,
Daughters to sell! Daug hters to sell
Buy my dear daughters! Who wants bride,
That can give her carriage and horses to ride,
Stand an opera box for his fancy's queen,
And no end Of acres OF crinoline?
Ever furniture, jewels and plate,
All sorts Of servants upon her to wait
Visits to Paris, Vienna and Rome.
In short. all that she's been brought up to at
home.
Here girls for your money if out you can shell
My daughters to sell F.! My daughters to sell

DARING ACT.-We are informed that on the
18th of September, Mr. G. NJ. Emack, of Prince
George county, Maryland, was arrested by party,
of Sickless Brigade, and carried before General
Walker, commanding the Brigade, during the
sickness of Sickles. Selling opportunity, he
suddenly drew his knife and STABBED Walker twice,
mortally woundng him. He was then fired upon
by the soldier who was guarding him, who FORUM
a:ely missed him.-He then struck at the soldier,
cutting off three of his fingers. Mr. Emack rushed
by the rest of the guard and continuing his flight
succeeded, after toilsome journey, in reaching
the Potomac and crossing into Virginia, and is now
at Ashland, near Richmond. 1t is said that Cen
Walker died of his wound.

NORTHERN SOCIETY.

The hideous revelations which have lately been
made Of the rottenness of Northern morals have
startled most Of the people Of the South. 1t has
required something more than mere summers
visit to the North to learn the habits of these
people and to understand their social system. \
stranger visiting New Iork ayear ago would have
found there all the outward evidences Of a highly
civilized people. There not merely trade,
industry, aud all the appliances of comfort, but
there was, besides these, laws the most artificial
aud complex, COURTS police, pubic clarlucS,
churches preachers, and the outward scmblance
of respect tor religion And yet, under all this
fair seeming, the body polite rotten to the
The spirit of luxury and the appetite for
wealth had developed to such degree that the
making of money had come to be regarded as the
main end Of life. \ sordd avarice and unscrupu-
lous thirst for gain, commercial tricks, fraudulent
bankruptcies, the putting up everything for sale
time, talents, princi Piles and honour-had come
to be the habitudcs Of the people 1t had come
10 be thought impossibility to ind honesty
purity in public men, and it was everywhere as
sumcd that the choice in elections lay between this
or that set o. plunderers. The decentralization fthe
family ties had increased to a frightiul extent.
Divorces and separations were an every day affair
The public press was one tissue of detraction, of
vulgar abuse, and indecent allusion. Nothing
that could pander to morbid and depravcd taste
in the public mind Was omitted by the editor, who,
instead Of seeking to raise the public morality,
looked only to the sale of his paper.-Everything
was for sale The lawmakers and the Judges who
administered, and the public who executed the
laws, were all in the market There was no af-
tectation of concealmcnt about the matter. Any
one evincing Indignation at such profigacy would
have been at once set down as from the rural
Districts The richest joke that could be started
anywhere was to got hold of some fellow who
thought it matter Of any account that his father
was a gentleman and ais mother virtuous. Repu-
dating the notion of good family, they laid great
stress ''respectable position" By this
meant fine house, carriage and horses, retinue
of lacqueys, the ability to raise money on credit,
access to other parUrnue society, aud the absence
OF criminal conviction in the courts. Such was
the inside crust of the Northern pie. No apple
of Sodom every more deceptive.-Richntond

TYPHOID FEVER.

A correspondent of the Raleigh Journal gives
the following remedy for typhoid fever:
Having treated with perfect success some thirty
or forty cases of typhoid fever, typhoid pneumonia
and typhoid dysentery after very simple and
easy plan, / hope you will give it place IN the
Journal for the benefit Of our soldiers and the
people generally. You are at liberty to give my
name to anyone, who desires it; as | am entirely
willing to bear all the ridicue which may attend
its failure to cure, and all the blame Of any mis-
chief which may result from trial Of it.
As soon as the first symptoms present them
selves have vessel provided with water as hot as
the hand will bear without pain, and some soap.
Rub the soap on a rough towel "a pad made on
purpose is more conveniently dip it into the hot
water, and, after ringing it, rub the entire body
and limbs of the patient as hard as he Will bear 1t
and Immediately rub him hard with dry, rough
cloths until he is dry and the skin red. This
should be done every morning about an hour after
sunrise until the patient is we'll.
As soon as the body has been thoroughly washed
and rubbed dry as above, prepare an infusion of
Asclipias Dicumbius, known vulgarly as Butterfly
Weed, and by some Pleurisy Root, by slicing
about three ounces of the root carrots are pre-
pared for the table-add quart of boiling water
and set it by the fire. Let the patient drink this
warm until plentiful perspiration is produced, and
then occasionally during the day enough to keep
the skin soft Let the diet be light but nourish-
ing, but take special care that no animal food be
given; not even chicken soup. Three persons
should be employed in the washing and rubbing
SO as to have it done expedtiously possible
after the patient is stripped for the purpose Take
special care that the skin is made thoroughly dry
and somewhat Redeemed, after the washing with
soap and hot water. The improvement in the
patient from the use Of these means will be imme-
diate, and if inflammation Of the bowels has not
become considerable before they have been re-
sorted to- convaescene will be.apparent in three or
four days. | firmly believe that these remedies
will cure typhoid complaints with at least as much
certainty as qunine will cure chIlls and fevcrs
Let the remedies herein advised be continued I'M
til appetite and strength are both perfect, the
disease is very insiaous and reapses very
freuuent \ FARMER.

The ReY0lutiOn.


We have but little news Of importance
from the revolutionists this week. Good
men o ali parties are doing all they can
TO prevent collision between the United
States authorities and the traitors, with
the hope that they may yet see the dan
ger they are in, lay down their arms, and
submit to the execution of the laws
In the mean time the disuniopists are
busily engaged in preparing for the con-
Aict which they know must certainly fol
low a collision brought about by resis-
tance to the regularly constituted govern
ment Of this country. God grant that
they may repent before the evil day
comes upon them; for iii does come either
the government or the traitors will have
10 succumb, and before that shall hav e
taken place blood will flow like water
They say they will accept 5sf no compro
mise let the consequences be what they
may. Then upon their own heads let
The respon sibility rest. -7a a

THE NEW APPoRTJoNMENT.

The Chicago Tribune says returns
have been received for the Census Blu
reau which shows for Illinois thus:
The whole white population is put
down at one million six hundred and
ninety-one thousand and two hundred
and .hirty-eight. and the ratio of Con-
gressional representation one hundred
and twenty seven thousand two hundred
and sixteen. This gives Illinois thirteen
Representatives, and fraction ofthirty-
seven thousand four hundred and thirty.
Illinois has now nine Congressman.
hence under the new apportionment she
will gain four.
The Reported population Of Ohio is
2,543,982: applying the same to it we
shall be entitled to eighteen members OF
Congress with fraction over of S ,0O4.
Thus Ohio which has now twenty.
one members will lose three members.
The gain in population Of Ohio since
1850 is 1853. .653 being 8 l-3 per cent.
The gain in population in Illinois since
1850 is $50. 1853 being SO ] 2 per cent.

uhimatum is peaceable secession Is they
can and forceable If they must. They
have attacked the American fag-they
have trampled the hallowed stars and
stripes in the dust; they have taken fore
ible possession of the forts and arsenals
Of our government, and are preparing 10
resist the execution OF the laws Of the
United States to the bitter end, and yet
you intimate that it is the duty of this
government to quietly submit and suffer
itself TO be torn to fragm en,s without ever
making an effort to protect the Union
and Constitution from these reasonable
assaults.
We had hoped that our neighbor wo'd
have taken high, honorable, patriotic
stand. tina! would have molly constrasted
with the despicatle position of the par
lisans who are willing to destroy pop
ular government and sacrifice the Union
in an attempt to compass the ruin of their
successful political adversaries, but in
this we have been disappointed.
