ScrofI1la. or Kings Evil

is constitutional disease, corruption of the blood
by which this fluid becomes vita ted, weak and
poor. Being in the circulation, il pervades the
whole body, and may burst out in disease in that
part Of it. No organ Is free from it's attack, nor
Is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofu
los faint Is caused by mercurial disease, low living
disordered unhealthy food, impure air, al til and
filthy habits, the depressing vices and, above eIs
by the venerOal injection. Whatever be its origin,
It Is hereditary in the Constitution, descending
ssfrom parents to children, unto the third and
fourth generation 80 indeed, il seems to be the rod
of Him who says ST will visit the niquities Of the
fathers upon their children. -
Its effects commsnce by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt ulcerous matter, which, in the
lungs liver and internal organs, is termed tuber-

only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they

The fortunes of General Fremont are cast
in a singular mould. Out of the depths OF
fiery furnaces come his greatest victories.
No man dare say that greatness is forced
upon him; whatever Of greatness is conced-
ed to him has been carved out of the rough
est material that man can lay hold on: A
giant, in strength of constitution and brain,
alone could dare to grapple with the work
assigned to she Pathfinder. To him be-
longs the honor cf planting the stars and
stripes in California soil. To California we
are indebted for the rough material which
keeps our Mint in motion. For the part
performed by Fremont, in its acquisition,
he was court-martialed. His Judgment vas
right, and for doing right, contrary to the
Judgment of his superior in command, he
was made to suffer. But he has had his re-
ward wealth and honors have crowned
his labors.
Again, when the nation needs strong men
to strike its foes, Fremont is on the from
tier of the field. {" Impossible " marches
are made, and victory within his grasp, but
small men, like cur at the heels, divert
his attention and he is turned back; but
the poisoned chaliee is now being returned
to the lips of his bastard foes. His conduct
under misfortune proves him every inch a
man, and already the light of glorious
triumph for him is glimmering.
A strange commission was that which in
quired into the fitness of Fremont. Came
ron and Thomas One now arraigned for
the waste of millions, the other charged
with treason
We are no man worshiper, but we have
eyes to see and, we trust, head to appre-
ciate John G. Fremont, than whom no abler
General, no more honest man or purer
patriot, has yet entered upon the field. We
look to the fruit of his labor for a Vindica-
ton of his course, and to the character of
his calumniators when we bespeak for him
a glorious triumph in the end. With an
iron constitution, clear, big brain and q
loyal heart, John G. Fremont will carve out
pathway which men of less modest de-
meanor and greater renown, would pay any
possible price to be privileged to tread in.
Onward Fremopt-=the nations heart, at
every impulse, strengthens the nations con-
idence. The people trust you-let digni-
taries beware.

tions of the " red tape " method of doing
business is exhibited in a transaction on

man well known for his generosity in con-
tributing funds in aid of the volunteers. 1t

and notice to that effect was given him, the
tug having cost originally y............. S5, 900

following
Our readers will all remember the Con-
federate flag captured on the battle field
where Zollicoffer fell, which was inscribed,

F. "A. Ashton, by Mrs. Chardavoyne." This
trophy was secured by Captain Marsh B.
Taylor, of company A, 10th Indiana regi-
ment, in the very widest fight, and the
brave Captain deserves every honor for the
deed. The flag was forwarded to General
Buell., by order of Gen. Schoepf, through
his aid, Lieut. Clay, and the General COM
mandiug has sent it Oh, with other articles,
to the city of Washington. There seems to
be an impression in some quarters that
Lieut. Clay arrogated to himself 8" the lions
part y in this affair, but that is a mistake.
When in this city he conducted himself
with exceeding modesty, land We heard from
his own lips that he took no part in the
fight, as be was bearing orders for his Chief.

among the mountains of Virginia, or marching
southwark through Kentucky and Missouri. A
few months may hnd some of them on the Gulf
Of Mexico, encamped before Fort Sumter and
Charleston, or occupying New Orleans. In nearly

AGooD JOKE ALL ARoUND.-There is quaint
humor attached to somebody connected with
The Rochester Express, that breaks out in spots
occasionally in that sheet, as witness the fol-
lowing ssA gentleman (whose name we sup
press for ''obvious reasons,':) while returning
home with his family purchases on Saturday
evening, stepped into an oyster saloon on Main
Street, TO refresh himself with a stew. While
thus engaged, friend who had followed him
in abstI acted from his groceries a package
containing pound of ground coffee, and hav-
ing emptied ii, reflled the paper with
dust, and restored it to its original place. The
mistake was Bot discovered until the following
morning, when the wife of the injured man
prepared his breakfast. Laboring under the
misapprehension that the grocer had swindled
him, the husband returned the saw-dust in the
morning ,and indignantly demanded and finally
received, its equivalent in Oid Java. The
unhappy grocer, who is notoriousy subject TO
fits of 'sabsent mindedness,'' declared most
solemnly that ii was unintentional and that
really, it was little the worst mistake he ever
committed What renders this transaction
still more perplexing is, that ''for the life of
him he can't remember phere he got the satp-

WE WERE BOYS TOGETHER

We were boys together
And never can forget;
The school house mid the heather,
In childhood where we met
The humble home, to memory dear;
Its sorrows and its joys,
when woke the transient smile or tear
When you and were boys.
We were youths together,
And castles built in air
Your heart was like q feather.
And mine weigh'd down with care,
To you came wealth with manhood's primo,
To me it brought alloys
Foreshadow'd in the primrose time
When you and I were boys.
We're old men together;
The friends we loved of yore,
With leaves Of autumn weather,
Are gone for evermore.
How bless'd to age the impulse given
The hope time e'er destroys
Which led our tho'ts from earth to heaven,
When you and L were boys.

AWFUL MIsMANAGEMENT.-Itis is not extraord-
mary that great mistakes should be made in
preparing for so gigantic at such short
notice. Our people were all new to this work, (,
and had to learn, as other nations have done,
In the dear school of experience. We are
sorry to say We are not learning very fast, but
1t is to be hoped that the terrible leaks in
the Treasury will soon be stopped. A Wash
lngton letter speaks of the extraordinary fact
that double the amount of cavalry order
ed and mustered in, that the force is to be re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000 The recon-
mendation for this step has already been
made by General Stoneman. chief of cavalry
to Secretary Stanton. The 10000 horses
thus dispensed with have cost the Govern
ment $3,570,0OO, exclusive of their forage
since they were bought. If every one of these
animals had,to be shot through the head, and
oil the saddles brides, shoes, holsters, sabres,
lances, revolvers and carbines, which their
purchase has made necessary, had to be piled
up for bonfire, the disbanding of the whole
would be an act of economy. Such frightful
gaps as they are eating into the Treasury
were never before seen in that gaping institu-
tion Multiply the sorrows of Mr.. Sparrow
grass, after he had bought the horse from s'the
mans brother," by 10000, and tn national
perplexitv may be und trstood. Perhaps the
tribe of jobbers will make more money in SELL
ing Oft the stock, than they did in buying It,,
but the Government must be the gamer in a ny
event. Can anything be conceived of, more
utterly profigate than this waste of public
money? II the Secretary of War had taken
the three and half millions, and all that it
has since cost to feed and transport the drove,
and thrown the whole into the deepest
part of the Potomac, it would have been a
better disposition of the money, for in that
case no one would have been corrupted by
handling it. Casuists may find an equally
brilliant operation in the purchase of 1000
worth of pig iron for ballast for a portion of
the Burnside feet, which loaded down the
respective vessels so that they could not get
over the ''swash,' - and compelled the crews to
throw the iron overheard in the shallowest
parts of the channel, thereby still farther OBJ
structing it.

A Story ON McCLELLAN.-The Washington
wags have got up new .splan,'' which they
dub stMcClellans.' 1t is somewhat as follows :
That Mcclellan is waiting for the Chinese popu-
lation of California TO increase to such vast
number that they will be able to cross the
Rocky Mountains and bring up his right wing,
by which time the Russian Possessions and
Greenland will have redundant population,
which can be drafted down to the support of
the grand left wing of the Union army-and
that when these great events take place, the
war will commence in earnest This is the

ened to it the other day with good -natured
laughter

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.--On lastF friday evening,
as several men were engaged taking down a
rock which apparently was loose in the top OF
the mines Of the Short Mountain Coal Compa
ny, near Queenstown, Dauphin county, large
rock about fifteen yards long suddenly fell,
instantly killing John McCaw and severely in
juring four or five others. One man, by the
name Of Robinson, had his arm crushed to
jelly; another, named Myers, had his boot
cut entirely off his foot. McCaw was on his
way home, and as he passed the fatal spot he
volunteered assistance, and had scarcely COM
menced work when the rock fell upon him.
