3crofula, or Kings Evil,

a constitutional disease, q corruptioa VI .hs
, iood. by which this fluid becomes v.tla,ed,
:,L,, end poor. Being in the circulation, it
. .ryades the whole body, and may burst out
=, disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
ON Its attacks, nor is there one which 1t may
ot destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
.aused by mercuriai disease, low Living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the yenereal infection. What
evox be its origin, it is hereditary In the con-
stitution, descending Z" from parents to children
into the third aud fourth generations; indeed,
il seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
will visit the iriquities Of the fathsrs 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
:ubefeles; in the glands swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupt;cn, which genders in the blood depresses
the energies OF life, so that scrofuloas constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have fGr less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; ccnse-
euently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are sui rendered lutal py TINS s"Ai. u sii-
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
il this scrofrlous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, BRAIN
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from q
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it
10 cleanse it from the system we must removals
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise
Such a medicine we supply in

Compound Extract Of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is com
6illcd 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 atec-
tons which arise from 1t, such as ERuPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNY's FmE,
nosE, or ERYsIPELAs, PnpLEs, PusTuLEs,

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA.

in "to,p,oity ofths blood" is founded in trath,
for serofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-

without which sound health Is impossible IN
contaminated constitutions.

We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints

Of complaints, but also the cheapest The large

ET A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, writing from Dixon, at the
time Of the great Reaper I, iaI, says:
The great feature of the day which never
failed TO draw the crowd, was the grain binder
Of w. w. Bursin of Iowa. This is most in
genious machine, and is destined to make q
revolution in the harvest field, aud will dis.
pensc with several hands day in binding for
one man can bind all that one machine will
cut.
Several self-raking machines were on
trial, and Of one the correspondent speaks
as follows:
w. A. Woods Self Raking Reaper drew the
worst lot Of the whole, the grain being badly
lodged The work was we'll done--tIe self.
raker COMPRISING the gavels before dcpositing
them beside the machine ready for the binder
The rake works on an endless chain, which,
by the nj d of cams, give it life-like motion as
it gathers the grain In its iron fingers, moved
by its sinews of steel il was tho centre Of at
traction as it moved with unfaltering steps

know that the leading slave States had
entertained the idea OF secession and
nourished il in secret ever since 1912,
and now to assert that the war was
brought on by Abolitionists, whom the
South regarded as poweress TO do them
harm, or that it could have been check
ed by meeting on a common compro.
mise. is simply ridiculous. We admire
consistency. II a man makes profess
ion Of the Democratic faith, and pretends
to despise that class Of persons known to
his party by the endearing title Of negro
stealing Abolitionists, we like to see him
live up to it, and not, when chance
throws niger by the wayside. to test
his cupidity and firm Democratic princi-
Piles, place him in tie ranks of his com
pany and connive at his escape. Tkis
has been done by men who profess the
most holy horror Of such things, and who
state that Abolitionisls and southern
rebels are alike culpable and should be
sent to he'll together" We would like
to know what place the gentleman
thought adapted for those Democrats,
who. while pretending to despise negro
stealers. yet have no objection to running
off one Of these chattels themselves when
ever an opportunity occurs. In conclu-
sion, we would say that the opinion OF
Capt. Lee on the cause and prevention
Of our civil disturbances is not ours by
any means. and that we are willing to
support with our hearts, our votes, and
our arms, be he Abolitionist, Republican
or Democrat, any man who is in favor OF
the determination of the rebels, the con
6scation Of their property. the uncoadi
tional liberation of the slaves, and the
eternal salvation of the Federal Union.

A Herald ROorback.

Eg The Dubuque Herald constantly
repeats the silly lie that Democrats go to
the war, and Republicans stay at home
A few facts relative to our own State
will show the Hsrald's recklessness oil
assertion
Muscatine County, that gave Lincoln
nearly 600 majority. and has popula-
lion of but 1900, has sent 1900 men to
the war.
Henry County, which gave Lincoln
over 1000 majority. has sent over 1000
men to the war.
Linn County, which gave Lincoln
nearly 1000 majority. has sent about
700. and is again recruiting 2 or 8 COM
panies.
Washington County. which gave Lin
coin nearly 700 majority, has sent 600
men,
But what has Dubuque County done ?
Dubuque County, which gives from 1000
to 1900 Democratic majority. Dubuque
County has sent. according TO the Adult
ant Generals report, THREE HUN
DRIED and SEVEN MEN. Dubuque
gets credit for raising some companies.
but reference to that report will show
that Dubuque furnished, Of those COM
panies, but 3O7 men /! Dubuque County,
with her great population. with her great
preponderance of Democratic votes, has
not furnished as many men as Benton,
or Delaware. Or Buchanan, or Blackhawk,
or Jones, or Fayette, or scarce any other
Republican County in the State with q
third Of her population. Why. the little
abolition town Of Grinnsll. which it does
Mahony's soul SO much good TO de-
nounce. has sent probably one-fourlh as
many rs this great Democratic county Of
Dubuque. While this is the fact, is
it not disgusting to find the Herald in
cessanily blazing forth the lie that Re-
publicans stay at home and the Demo.

been on the move almost night and day
ever since. We have had a force Of the
enemy in our front and rear, all the time
annoying us all they could, by cutting
off stragglers, forage trains, DC. Gen.
eral Steele's division moved in the ad-
vance as far as Cache River, at that point
he came on to force of secesh, and after
a short conflict succeeded in killing 100
dead on the field. The whole Of our
force employed was companies. 2 OF
Wisconsin Infantry, 2 companies Of an
Indiana Regiment. We lost or 6 kill
ed. and 35 wounded. This army has
been largely reinforced by cavalry.
which / think is the most useless arm Of
the service we have got. We expected
to meet our gunboats and transports,
with supplies, at Clarendon on White
River. When we got there, they had been
ordered to the Mississippi, consequently
we had to make for there too. as we have
been on half rations for some time.
What the next move will be l cannot tell.
We have just heard Of the fight at
Richmond, but no particulars. | will write
you more al length soon.
