GEN. SCoTT's OPINION OF GENERALS
MCCLELLAN AND HALLEcK. = On
the Saturday succeeding his return
to his old home in Elizabeth, New
Jersey, the veteran General Scott,
in the course Of an interesting in,
terview, and speaking of Generals
Mcclellan and Halleck, said:
There are two men who can be
depended upon under all circum-
stances and iii every emergency
| mean General Mcclellan and
General HalIeck. There is no
doubt they must take things as
they meet them-and they have
great opposition to contend with !:
but Mcclellan is, at this moment,
at the very work his heart loves,
and which will call forth all til e
abilities of his powerful mind
that of trenching, engineering and
besieging. And in regard to Gen
eral Ilalleck, he will do his work
like IL soldier. There can be no
fear of these two able soldiers
doing any base or disloyal act
They are honest to the core, and
will never betray their country.

The MutilatiOn Of Treasury.notes.
Evidence has been received at
the Treasury Department that
the work of mItilating Treasury
notes has become quite II business,
and not AL unproftablc one. For
instance, the mutilator takes one
ten dollar note and tears Oft a
teuth part ON one corner, and
passes off the note for ten dollars
-Lobody questioning that it is
.pertectly good. lie takes another
nJte Of same denomination and
tears off a tenth part on another
corner, and so on, until he has
secured four cOIners. Then he
takes another note and tears out a
piece from the upper side right
from another note IL piece from the
upper side left, next to the corners;
from two more notes a piece is
extracted from the lower side
right of one, and Il piece fIom the
,loNer side left of the other. From
1.-The ninth note he removes Il
piece from the right Of the mid
die, and from the tenth and last
mote a piece from the left middle.
TLen he has ten parts OF what APP
pears to be II single ten dollar
rreasury-note, which he ingeni
ousIy pastes together and passes
off under the plea that the note
was accidentally torn in pieces, but
is nevertheless just as good rs if it
WAS whole. Singular as it may
seem, this business has become 50
extensive that the attention of the
Government has been called to it,
and ii is decided, as the only effect
ual way OF checking the evil, not
to redeem any note at par unless il
is whole, and to deduct one dollar
for every tenth part Of Il note tori

Conduct Of Generals Buell. and
Grant at the PAtS6urg Landinq.

wv WV -"''N''J'
General Buell., at the head Of
two of his regiments, charged two
batteries and took them. His
presence was moving, animating
power to his men I; his words of
cheer gave strong and lofty cour
age to his troops. "lloId them in
check, boys, for half an hour, and
the day is ours" sung with electric
charm from rank to rank. The
large number of officers killed may
be accounted for in two ways-the
proximity Of the two armies. and
the unerring aim of the sharp
shooters. Our sharpshooters have
guns of the finest quality, and
possess great power. They mo> e
slowly and cautiously, take their
own position, look out for their
own safety, and generally fire with
IL deadly aim. Rebel gunners are
picked off with unerring certain
ty.
Whatever may be saidor thought
of Gen. Grant in being surprised,
his bravery and gallantry on the
battle field can never be question
ed. Mounted on his noble, cream
colored steed, he was ever in the
thickest of the fight, where ball
and shot and shell flew thick and
fast, giving words Of cheer to the
men and ordering regiments and
divisions where most needed.

Scrofula, or Kings Evfl,

is constitutional disease, corruption Of tho
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitated,
weak, and poor. Being IN the circulation, it
peryades the whole body, and may bust ont
in disease on any part of il. No organ fs free
from its attacks nor is there one which it may
not destroy. Tho scrofulous faint is variousiy
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, flth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation = indeed,
1t seems to be the rod Of Him who says, Z" /
will visit the iniquities OF tho 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 in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, dcpresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous conn
plants, bat 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,
arc still rendered fatal by this taint 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 the liver, kidneys, brain.
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofllous ;
their persons are invaded by this lurking In
foction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovato
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise,
Such medicine we supply in
