Death of Ex.Presfdent Van Buren,.

.Ex-President Martin Van Buren, died
at his residence at Kinderhook, on
Friday of last week, at the advanced
age of 70 years. Mr.. Van Buren, com.
menced his public career as Surrogate
OF the County of Columbia in 1908.
In 1912 he was elected to the State
Senate, and from that time he contin-
ued to hold important public positions
until 1886, he was elected President
of the United States. In 1910 he was
re-nominated, but was defeated, and
retired to private life. In 1914, when
the project of annexing Texas was un-
der consideration, he could have Sc
cured the nomination by the Democra-
cy by announcing himselfin favor of the
project; but much to his credit, he
came out with letter strongly opposed
to it, and consequently Mr.. Polk was
nominated. In lS4s, parties, especial.
ly in New York, had become much cut
up, and ut the memorable Buffalo Con.
vention he was nominated as a third
candidate against Gen. CaSs and Gen.
Taylor. Since that time Mr.. Van Blu.
rem has acted with the Democratic or.
ganization in all its meanderings. He
supported Mr.. Pierce in 1862, Buchan.
an in 1856 and Breckenridge in 1860.
He has, however, favored a vigorous
prosecution of the present war against
the rebellion.

suferings of the Dyspeptic can only be realized
by those so unfortunate to be afflicted by this
disease, and yet how many of them suffer and con-
tinue to suffer Why they do this so patiently it
is impossible to tell. 1t may be from ignorance OF
any certain remedy. or it may be from prejudice
against the use of Patent Madeleine Hoofands

The Duty Of the Hour.

In this hour Of our national trial, it
is the duty of every loyal citizen to
discountenance in every possible man.
ner all exhibitions of treason, come
from what source they may. Our
country is above every other consider
alton, and the existence and perpetuity
of our Union are of such transcendent
Importance that no individual with
traitorous instincts can be permitted
to oppose, directly or indirectly, by
word or action, the effectual and
vigorous prosecution of the present
war or the efforts of the Administration
to suppress the rebellion.
Those faint hearted men who fear
that the military power of the country
is becoming too extensive, and that it
will sw allow up their civil rights, should
understand that the Administration
designs only to use the military power
to an extent that will protect the rights
of the citizen, under the Constitution
and in the Union, and thus prevent
our civil liberties from falling into an
archy and destruction, AS they surely
will if the secessionists prevail. The
only way is to blot out rebellion, at all
hazards and all costs, and restore peace
at the point of the bayonet.
The people of the loyal States have
been at peace for so many years that
they have but faint ideas of the rigors
of war, and especially of such a war
as we are now engaged in-the most
formidable and important that has
threatened any nation for hundreds OF
years. They can hardly realize its
enormities, and thus far the private
and peaceful citizen has learned moth
ing of its tremendous exactions. IL
hears of battles, but he does not par
ticipate in their horrors. He hears the
call for troops and money to sustain
the Government, but he does not grasr
the reality of the impending danger tc
all his national and private interests.
10 arouse the people to a just appre
citation of their situation is no cas-,
task. The loud calls Of the Admins
tration pass by them, too often, like tn,
idle wind. But the hour is at hant
when every man, in his own person
and purse will gain astounding knowl
edge of the needs of his country
Drafting and taxation will arouse Tn,
torpid, fill the ranks, and overwheln
the rebels. And these just infection
are now at our very doors. They can
not be avoided.

Nine Months.


The war must now end within nine
months. The law authorizing the
President to call out the militia pre-
scribes that term of service. Gen. Hal
leck has fixed the number of men he
needs, with full understanding OF the
case, and the call now made is tanta-
mount to an engagement on his part to
finish up the job and disband the forces
in 27O days, and it ,ciU be done. No
more guarding of redel henroosts, no
more running after loyal slaves OF trail
tor masters, but firm, Obstructive, over
Hhelming war
The country can afford this one stu
pendos effort, and will gladly make it,
to secure the overthrow of the rebellion
within the time named in the call.
Our rulers now understand the enemy
we have to deal With; they know what
is required of them and what time they
have got to do their work in. 1t is not
to exceed nine calendar months.

From Hunters Communicable Rebel
Ram at Savannah.

New YORK, Aug. "A letter to the
Herald, dated Hilton Head, July 3lst,
says the rebel ram which has for long
time been in process of construction at
Savannah, is completed, armed and
ready for service All accounts which
come to us represent her as very for
midable. She is of light draft, great
power, and has a very heavy armament.
Already the rebels are making the nee
essary soundings preparatory to bring
ing her down the river. Two steamers
carrying the rebel flag, and engaged in
the performance of this service, came
within range of Fort Pulaski's guns on
Tuesday, but were compelled toretire.
Admiral Dupont is making every pre-
paration to receive the monster.
