men in our own community are the origi-
majors of the project, probably for personal
spite more than political motives. If We
have Secessionists in our midst who are
aiding the present Rebellion. l. for one, am
ready to help hang them. but have no in
clination to see them plundered. I hope
our jealous Union friends, wi o are looking
anxiously for the arrival of 'Leather
Breeches," will not forget that there is a
treason law by which certain refractory
ones may be dealt with according to law.
We are informed further. that the s'list''
which is now on e. hibilion in the Jayhawk
ing camp, contains the names of several as
good Union men as there are in this COM
munisy. Mr.. Reporter might, perhaps, as
well go slow. Very truly yours,
NEosHo.
Several reports have reached here that
this county was to be visited by the Jay
hawkers for the purpose of ."cleaniDg OUT
certain persons and Institutions. We have
had no trouble here, SO far, and hope we
will have none. The Union men are GER
t.inly strong enough to take care of any Sc
cessiouists there may be in our midst, with
out the interference of Jayhawkers. ''or any
other man. We have no use for them.
Generally speaking, they are pack of
thieves. If they come here to take care of
some gentlemen whom we have heard nam
ed as being obnoxious to the fraternity.
they may meet warm reception.

have their efficacy estab blished by well tested expe

cian whose preparatory study 6ts him for all the
duties he must fulfill yet the country is flooded with
poor nOstrums and cure-alls, purpOrtng TO be the
best in the world which are not only useless, but
always injurious. The unfortunate should be FAR
1IcULAR in selecting his physician as II is lament
able vet incOntroveribe TACT that many syphilitic
patients are made miserable with ruined constitutions
by NAL treatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice; for II is point generally conceded
by the best sypkilogapbers that the study and man
agement ofthese complaints should engrOss the whole
time Of those who would becompetent and successful
in their treatment and cure The inexperienced gen.
eral practitioner, having neither opportunity nor
time TO make himself sufficiently acquainted with
their pathology comOny pursues system of treat
ment in most making an indiscrimInate use of
that antiquated and dangerous weapon, mercury.
More caution however should be used by the syph
little patient. in cousuting nominal physicians OF
the advertising class as nine tenths of them inn

names and are without any claims to medical knCwl-

there is particle Of disease left in the system il will

cautious in believing that they we'll, tor it is
