rEEhe EsOFa isa Front Street

In front Of Court Street there is Il
hole in the Street, and such holes, we
think, ought to oe repaired by whom it
concerns. We saw, lately, many people
falling into the hole in question, but the
hole is still hole-perhaps, because
they did not break leg.
A short time ago We saw the Street
Commissioner Of that District falling
into the same hole, and expected it
would be filled up right away; but not
so, by far. The hole is still in undls-
turbed existence, and we believe from
the same reason-he did not break a
legl
Is there nobody in town who will sac
rifice one of his limbs for the benefit of
the rest of the community-to remind
the Street Commissioner of his duties?

Guess Thew Won't,

We have been told by the partisan
and secesh papers Of the North, for the
last year, that if the President should
dare to issue such proclamation as he
has issued, that the chief commanders
of our armies would either resign or
turn their arms against the Administra-
ton. 1t is no use to deny the fact that
there was some apparent ground to fear
that there might be danger in that di-
rection. We guess they won't resign,
and we guess, again, that they will not
attempt to carry into effect the other
threat. The reception the proclamation
has received from the patriotic volun-
teers, has settled that question. The
nation would now hail the resignation
Of few of our proslavery commanders S
with as much enthusiasm as it has the
proclamation. We cannot see how such
men can retain their places. They can
not do SO for any honest, patriotic pur-
pose. And they should not be permit
ted to hold them for any other.
While the policy was to maintain

All quiet on the Potomac! All quiet

All quiet at Louisville! When any
thing occurs, and is authenticated, we
will give it to our readers. They would
hardly thank us for the thousand ru-

to sift the reports and gather what grains

haps the Telegraph is not SO interesting

tion articles, but we "don't see it SO. J"
We hope to have good news for next
week, but we will not manufacture it
With our armies increasing at the rate
of twenty thousand a day, something
ought to be looked for in the way of
suppressing the rebellion. We will
keep looking for it-heping for it-and
almost, against hope, still hope, that a
decisive blow will be struck. When it
is struck, we will announce it, with all

slavery by all the powers of the Govern
ment, these men were in the right place.
In the prosecution of that policy, every
officer who did not aid in carrying it out
was promptly removed. This was con-
sistent to say the least. Now, that that
policy has totally failed, and a new one
been adopted, the only hope Of success
is in the employment Of the requisite
meaus. If the old pro-slavery officers
eoiU not carry out the measures of Con-
gress and the Executive, and aoiU not re-
sign, then, good faith and patriotism
alike, require that they should be re-
moved, and not be permitted to embar-
rass the Government while under pay
from its treasury.
Since the President has. distinctly an-
Houncea his purpose to enforce the laws
of Congress, which absolutely prohibit
military officers using any portion of
their forces in slave hunting and negro
catching, we frankly confess we Go not
see what use he can have for some of
these officers. TO suppose that they
will cordially obey the law, and carry
out its provisions; is to expect them to
belle all their antecedents. And to sup
pose that the President will retain them
in their positions to embarrass his policy,
is to suppose him too weak for his place.
We think, therefore, that there will be
no designations, but some removals, and
great bluster on the part of the K. G..
C.'s, but that the machinery will adjust
itself to the work t9 be done, in short
time, and then the blow will be struck
that will crush the rebellion forever.

Rg" Don't forget that next Tuesday
week is the election.
Don't forget that Union ballots are
quite as important in our country's day
Of peril as Union bullets.
Don't forget that wherever you hear
a partisan pettifogger attempting to
arouse the passions of the unthinking by
the cry cf "Abolitionism, that he is a
dirty denagogue, and would be in the
secesh army if he were not a coward, as
we'll.
Don't forget that every vote cast
against Mr.. Cutler is vote cast to Gre
ate division in the national Congress and
to enable faction to paralyze the arms of
your sons who are upholding the in
tegrity of your country.
Don't forget that while your sons and
brothers, and neighbors, are in the camps
and on the battle fields of the country, an
insidious enemy is straining every nerve,
and resorting to every device, to secure
a factious majority in the lower House
of Congress that can obstruct the meas
ures of the Executive, the Senate and
the army in the suppression of the re-
bellion.
Don't forget that the only possible
hoge of partisan triumph consists in
the fact that one hundred thousand
Union voters-Republicans and Demo-
crats-will be absent in the service Of
the couGary.
Don't forget that this fact makes it
your imperative duty to GO to the poles,
and to see that your Union neighbors
go, too; for on the faithful performance
Of this duty may depend the complex
ion of the next Congress.
And don't forget that, "Eternal Wig
ilanee is the price of liberty and that
you, individually, have your allat stake
in this contest, and that interest, as well
as patriotism, demands an intelligent
and conscientious discharge of the elect
i've franchise
And don't forget, finally, that, for a
Union man to neglect, for any cause,
less than absolute inability, to deposite
his vote, is, at this time, dereliction
Of duty, that will betray, like treason
itself
And may God defend the right!

A Trick-Beware Of It!

About the most desperate political
trick we have known, comes to US in the
form of hand bill, from Marietta. 1t
is written by S. A. Miller, the editor of
the "Secesh Democratic organ, but
VIM. Scott, W. l.. Greenhill, VIM. Lo-
rev, NJ. d. .Folett and NJ. j. Davis GER
tify that they believe it to be true. 1t
is headed: "ExPosITIoN OF a BLACK
REPUBLICAN ELECI1oNEERING PLOT!
TREAcuERY OF THE ABoLITIoNIsTs!
CONSPIRACY OF THE No-PARTYIsTsi-
DARK AND DAMNABLE DEEDS" &C., &e.
The substance Of it is, that about two
months ago man calling himself W. II T..
Hayward came to Marietta, where he
has had his headquarters ever since
That he profoszcd to be a secession;st
and Il Democrat. That he associated
only with leading Democrats. That,
during the two months, he supplied Mr..
Miller with frst-class cigars in super
abundance That he visited Morgan
County and held conferences with the
Leading Democrats there, as well as in the
country townships Of Washington Coun
ty. That his protested object was to or
ganize the Democrats into secret organl-
zation, as they we're in Indiana. As
+ho4 he nf Tho
party was ready to take up arms against
the Government, and that all it lacked
was the completion Of the secret organi-
cation, sc.
The hand-bll says: "He went to
Morgan County about six weeks ago,
where he remained about one week:
while there he attempted to organize a
secret meeting of the Democrats, but,
we believe, he failed. Immediately af-
ter his return from Morgan, he went
into the western part of this County,
among the leading Democrats, and at
tempted to organize secret meetings, &c. "
But the point of the hand bill is, that,
after manipulating the Democrats for
two months-after visiting the leading
Democrats in the two counties, organ
izing and attempting to organize them
into secret societies for the avowed pur-
pose of aiding the rebels, it turns out
that he is no Democrat at all, but an
Abolitionist, brought there and paid by
the Abolitionists, and that the whole
.hing was damnable conspiracy of the
Black Republicans to carry the. election
orer the simple minded and loyal De-
mocracy.
The hand-biil is curiosity in its line
and is worthy of the genius of its i'm
mortal author. IF the people of the
District are fools, it will have the effect
designed. The author and his hackers
evidently think they are. IF the thing
was not too long, we would publish it
But it will, doubtless, be circulated
here on the day of the election.

For the Pomcroy Weekly Teleera ph.
Diptllheriss.

AS that treacherous throat disease,
known by the name above, has made its
appearance again in our midst, as well
as in the vicinity, to some extent-the
most prevailing symptoms Of it being
very lit4le known by the people, We
think it proper to.publish them that at
tentive parents may be prepared to meet
it at the time when there is still sue
cessful treatment to be hoped.
The first symptoms in almost every
case are subdued hoarseness, a slight
huskiness in voice, and apparent weak
ness In utterance.
In more acute cases, this hoarseness
may be quickly followed by high fever.
In other cases the disease proceeds
with little or no fever, and the state Of
the sufferer is only revealed by seeing
the changes on the tonsils and palate
A whitish exudation of different size
and shape, looking like wash lea ther, of
a dirty, whitish color, will make its ap-
pearance.
Aside from the throat symptoms, there
will be noticed in the patient muscular
weakness, listlessness, lazy apathy with
out, however, loosing entirely the pleas
ure in playing-paralytic symptoms,
such as difficulty in swallowing of liquids
more than solids; kind of uncertain
articulation; hollow snoring; respiration;
cough after, or during taking drink;
loss of appetite for most anything to eat
or drink. (This last symptom is one Of
the most unfavorable signs.)
After the patient appears to be well
again, we would advise parents to watch
them still closely. Heart diseases and
albuminous urine may follow and lay
still the germ for an early grave.
Palpitation Of the heart, and oppres-
sion Of breathing, will be complained CT
when there are heart diseases to be
feared.
Albuminous urine can be detected by
! boiling some of it. IF there is albumen
present, white fakes will form. !

s@- We thank an aPpreciative public
for larger increase Of new subscribers
in the last two weeks than we have ever
received in the same time before. This
is encouraging. But we would gently
hint that there is an unpleasant list of

give us special pleasure to see closed up.
Suppose AN effort be made on the part
of all in arrears to square the books as
soon as possible. The thing could be
done to the relief of the pocket of one
party, and the conscience of the other.

1t has been stated, we think, that
the Indian outbreak and massacre of
women and children in Minnesota was
the indirect, if not the positive work OF
the rebel leaders. Monstrous as this
assertion Is, it is true by their own con-
fession. The proof is in the following
paragraph, which we cut from the Rich
mond Dispatch of the 24th inst:

Harper's- Ferry, against the Indians.

ting for such breach of faith.

The Chemistry of NIeaieine.

The Chemistry of Medicine.
Among the special delights which have so
richly repaid our visit to New England, was
the inspection, it was our privilege to make of
Dr.. JIG. Aver & Co.'S Laboratory, at Lowell.
Although We knew by hear-say, that it was
large, yet we were surprised when We came
into view of its real magnitude. and still more
by the extent and complication of its truly i'm
mense business. The whole massive structure
is in fact one vast chemical laboratory, in
which the processes of this wonderful art are
constantly going on. Medlco-chenlcal science
has found that the curative properties OF any
substance exist in some one or more of its
component parts Thus the remedial effects
of opium are due solely to the norphia it con-
tains although this is but one eighteeeth part
of it's weight the other seventeen parts are
gum, extractive and inert or offensive matter.
DR.. Ayers system separates the medical prop
critics of each substance employed, and we are
here shown the processes by which the UiTtues
of each remedial agent are chased through the
alembics until they come out completely pure
at last. These concentrated, purified medical
properties, or virtues, are finally combined to-
gether to produce the remedies which have
made themselves reputation for unrivalled
excellence, all over the world. Not only does
the Doctor disclaim all secrecy in his art and
explain every process and every particular,
but lie maintains that this is the only process
by which the people can be supplied with the
best possible remedies fer the trea tnent Of dis
ease. The Fo, muIa by which his remedies are
published in the medical Journals, and lave

stantly sent by mail to such physicians ap-
