NEW YORK, July 2.-The morning papers
special dispatches contain nothing new from

The Tribunes Fort Monroe correspondence
of the Both states that the gunboats on the
james river had established communication
with Gen. MeClellan's right wing.

on our right was a desperate affair, in which
the rebels lost 5000 men. Our loss was heavy.
Gen. Stoneman being cut off from the right

1t is further stated that on his left, General

On SATURDAY. evening last Mrs. JUL. smith


On Saturday evening last Mrs. Julia Smith,
Smith s Cannon, and sister of the latter
member Of the firm, was most fearfnlly,
burned, so severely, in fact, that at the time Of
writing this article we are momentarily ex-
pecting TO hear of her death. Herself, her
husband, and her brother where in the garden
picking strawberries, when her father, who has
been suffering many years with cancer, called
her into the house to have it dressed. She
usually prepared the salve which was applied
TO his cancer with lamp allied with alcohol.
As the spirit was low in the lamp, she took a
half gallon can and endeavored to fill it while
the lamp was burning. She had scarcely
commenced the operation when the fame
communicated to the interior of the vessel,
bursting it with loud report, and filing the
room with flame. Her dress and that of
servant girl caught on fire, as 3 matter of
course. The latter ran out Of doors, and was
met by Mr.. Smith, who promptly exting uished
the flames which was consuming her gar
ments, but severely burned his hands in doing
So. Charlie Cannon rushed in the house, and
found his sister with her mouth and eyes closed
awaiting her doom. He immediately threw a
feather bed upon her, and with some difficulty
smothered the devouring element.
1t is feared that the assistance came too late,
for she was fairly roasted. Her hands, arms,
face, neck, breast, and portion Of her stomach
were burned most cruelty. Pen cannot de-
acribe nor tongue tell her terrible sufferlngs,
yet she bore them without a moan, and main
tanned ner self-possession even while all else
was wild confusion. She was marvelously
patient and so thoughtful as to direct the ply
sieian to attend to her husband before he did
anything further for her.

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most efectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other aHec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvB.
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoSY's FIRE,
Rose, or ERTsIPELAs, PIMPLEs, PusTrLEs.

RHEUMATISM, SYPHIL1FIc and MERcURIAr Drs-
BASES, DRopsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM YITIA-
rsD OR IMPURE BIooD. The popular belief
in g inlpurity of the blood is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa
tllc is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

Is Il constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak. and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part of II. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
rot destroy. The serofulons faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, il is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending : from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ' /
will visit the iniquities OF the 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, eruphons or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, 50 that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but shey have far less power TO with
stand the attacks of other diseases; eonse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulo1s in then nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint 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 scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

FROM COLUMBUS.

COLUMBUS, O., July 3.-Tbe impression pre-
walls that the Democratic Convention, to-mor-
row, viii be largely attended. Over i've
hundred delegates are coming up from VAL
landigham's district. Vanandighsm is here,
and the lion Of the occasion. Whether by aid
of his train band of delegates from Dayton, he
will be master of the situation, remains to be
seen. The Breckenridge democracy are here
in force.
Vallandigham was serenaaed at the Goodan
House late tonight. He spoke at length. He
made the most of the prominence of the negro
in the legislation of Congress. He charged
the abolitionists with the repulses of McClel-
Ian before Richmond. He said Secretary
Seward was visiting the Governors
of the States, and would be in Columbus to-
morrow. He believed foreign intervention
imminent, and that Secretary Stewards mis-
sion to the Governors was to prepare the way
for the recognition of the Southern Confed-
eracy.
The democracy of the Northwest, and the
white people of that section, would be opposed
TO disunion in that form, and in every form,
now and forever He believed the Admins
tration would be for yielding to foreign media
ton, and the separation of the States. he de-
nounced JEFF. Davis, Floyd, etc, as the
Judasses of tbs Democratic party. The resto-
ration of the Union would consign to oblivion
disunienists North and South-the abolition
lists and secessionists alike.
He had great deal to say Of the Constitu-
ton as it is and the Union SIS it was, and talk
ed of the efficacy of compromise to restore the
Union. He claimed, of course, that the Demo
cratic party was the only Union party, and
was very emphatic on the necessity that the
Northwest must control the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi.
do not think that he made exactly the
speech that was expected of him.
The point of his remarks most vehemently
applauded, was when he declared he never
world consent to the recognition of the South
err Confederacy.
TIE crowd which he addressed was Eo'
largo and if we can judge of the temper d
the convention tomorrow by it, it is not Ike
ly e be SO ,nischievous as was apprehended
Tho solemn circumstances Of the times seem tC
have wholesome effect even on partisan des
peradoes. M. ID.
