How TO TEST IMPURE On.-Much of the re-
fined oil now in the market is of an inferior
quality, and some of it is said to contain por-
tions OF benzole, which consumes rapidly and
increases the danger and expense from the
use of oil as a burning fluid. The following
is simple test: "Pour out into saucer
portion of the oil; then approach the surface
with lighted match il the oil is defective
little sparkles Of blue fame will arise from it,
and it may even take fire over the whole sur
face, while good and safe oil will not take
fire until it has had time to become considera-
bly, heated, but will not burn around the wood
Of the match whore it is immersed in it, with
out spreading over the saucer. Another rule
is to regard all cheap oils with suspicion, as
experiment with the writer has demonstrated
their deficiency of quality. 1t may also be
added that the cheap oils, while apparently
somewhat more economical in the purchase,
will be found, being more light and volatile,
to be consumed in much less time than the
denSer oiis.''

THE Lebanon Courier says truly that it does
not believe that any party existing in this
country has shown more fixed determination
to put an end to corruption by terreting out
and Furnishing offenders, than the one now in
power. We have, it says, the encouraging
spectacle before us of leading Republicans
carefully investigating all matters pertaining
to public contractors and officials of doubtful
integrity, and fearlessly exposing them, no
matter whether the exposure strikes friend or
enemy. There is no disposition to follow the
example of the party formerly in the ascend
ant to cover up these corruptions until they
break out in running sores, making the body
polite as rotten as leper. We hail this new
condition OF things with pleasure and welcome
the disposition shown to compel integrity, as
the harbenger of better days for the Republic.

Scroflla, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, bv which this fluid becomes yitiattd,
weak, and poor. Being in the cireulation,i it
perYadcs the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part OF it. No organ is FREQ
from its attacks. nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulou, taint is vuriou.ly
caused by inercuria dscase, low living, dis
ordered or tmhcalthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the v;ncrcal infection. What
ever BE- its origin, il /, hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from pareuts to children
unto the third and fourth scneraticn;" h'lecd,
it seems to be the rod oil Him WHO snys, 81
will visit the inipuites OF tie fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
b.oOd Of corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrccs in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which gcnders in the blood depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulouA constitu-
tions not ouly suffer from scrofulous conf
| plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
| Guently vat numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrotnlous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this tant 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 thu liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arisc from or
| are aggravated by the sGmo cause.

and his wagon trains are daily passing
within twenty-five miles of us. A day OF
two before our arrival, the steamer Noble
Ellis went up the river with supplies for
Zollicoffer. Her decks were barricaded,
having about $50 men on board; her re-
turn was anticipated. This trade on the
Cumberland will be stopped, or at least if
the Noble Ellis returns, she will receive a
good peppering from the 10Th. Cumber-
land county is said to be a wealthy eoun-
ty, though a large portion Of its area IS
broken and almost worthless. Tie arabic
land lies along valleys on the streams, and
is very fertile About our camp on each
side of the Cumberland, are large bottoms,
which viewed from the hilltop, appear to
be well cultivated. The principal prOduc-
ions are tobacco, corn, wheat, some cotton,
md negroes Flour is only $3.50 per
oarrel; meal, so cents per bushel.
Reports have reached camp, from home,
hat the 18th has been cut up; we are all
afe yet, and when you receive authentic
of that fact, l can but believe
hat you will learn that the bill of mortal
ty was great with our opponents.
