SPIRITS OF TURPENTINE.-B. Tyson, a cor
respondent of the Raleigh Standard, recommends
to the army the use OF Spirits of Turpentne for
ds, hoarscness, coughs, &c. He advises that the
turpentine be placed in a coffee pot, Cor other
vessel and heated until it begins to send off a
steam. The patient should then take the spout
in his mouth and irhaie the steam until it causes
his head to feel light and slddy. His own ex-
perience has satisfied Mr. Tyson that the remedy
is good one. lie. also recommends that spirits Of

Destruction OF THE MERRIMAC.--The
Court of Enquiry into the destruction of the
Merrimac have given their report, from which it
appears that Com. Tatnall ordered her destruction
after tightening her up to twenty feet six inches,
on the representation Of the pilots that she could
not be got up James river with draft of eighteen
feet, which they previously stated could be done.
That her destruction was unnecessary at that time
and place. That Tatna having been instructed
TO prevent the enemy from ascending James river,
he could, with very little more, if any esscning of
draft, after tightening her to twenty feet six
inches aft, with her iron shcathing still extending
three feet under water, have taken her up to Hog
island in the James (where the channel is narrow
and then prevented the enemy's large vessels and
transports from ascending. That when his pro-
visions gave out, aud he could get no MORE he
then might have considered the expediency of
striking last blow at the enemy or destroying
her.
The Court also think that the precipitate evacu-
alton of Norfolk, &c, precluded the proper
sideration by its effect the minds of the officers
of the ship.
In the case Of the destruction of the Mississippi;
the Court think it necessary to prevent the
vessel from falling into the hands of the enemy

Execution OF the Indians.


The thirty.nine Sioux and half breed Indians,
whose sentence Of death has been confirmed by
the President, are to be executed tomorrow
(the 2Stb) at Mankato, Minnesota. They we're
first ordered to be executed on the l9tb, last
Friday. subsequent order gave them re-
prieve of one week. The following special order
from the commander Of the Post, indicates that
much feeling still prevails against the whole
race of Indians in Minnesota:
HEADQUARTERS INDIAN PosT,)
Mankato, Dec. II.
The President of the United States having di.
rected the execution Of thirty-nibe of the Sioux
and half breed prisoners, now in my charge, on
Friday, the 26th inst, he having postponed the
time from the 10th inst, said execution will take
place in front of the Indian prison at this place,
on that day at 10 o'clock a. m. The Executive
also eujoins that no others of the prisoners be
allowed to escape, and that they be protected
for the future disposition Of the Government;
and these orders will be executed by the military
force at my disposal with the utmost fidelity.
The aid of all good citizens is invoked to
maintain the law and constitutional authority OF
the land on that occasion. The State of Mime
sofa must Lot, in addition to the terrible wrongs
and outrages inflicted upon her by the murder
Gus savages, suffer, if possible still more fatally,

few of our misguided, though deeply injured

good effect The victories which the so-called
Democratic party then obtained, are encourag-
ing the leaders and press Of that party to sucn
an open avowsl of their sentiments and feelings
as entirely to justify the name Of "Tory' which

of Northern Democratic newspapers are now as
violently and passionately expressing their oppo'
sition to the war as Rebel papers in the heart OF
Dixie; and they exhibit more malice and hatred
towards the Government, commanding officers
in the field, and even towards the soldiers who

papers devote all their space. to attacks upon
the army and its Generals and to abuse of the
Government And their mendacity is only

circulate their infamous reasonable sheets so
