CONCLUSION.

Gentlemen, it Is our fortune to live in these
times Of fearful responsibilities aud duties.
We are making history to be read by, and
exert its influence upon, coming generations.
If there be time when our Legislators,
both State and National, have need OF
"that wisdom which eometh down from
above" it is now, when hosts Of bad men
have conspired to destroy the fair fabric Of
government founded by our fathers
Without unanimity and determination Of
purpose our cause is lost; aud not ours
only, for the doWn-trOdden Of earth every
where, are anxiously awaiting the result
ofthis contest between Liberty and Despot-
ism. IL we succeed, brave hearts aud
stout arms, elsewhere, will be nerved TO
throw OF the letters that have so long
bound them il we fail, our failure will
but serve to bind them the more securely.
With deep sense Of our responsibility,
and with an earnest duplication 70 the
Great Source of all strength for assistance
in the discharge Of our respective duties
during this momentous crisis, let as enter
upon the work before US. ~

is constitutional disease corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease OH any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous 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 venercal infection. What
ever be its origin, it 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, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, i'll
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders i'll the blood, dcpresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their 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
III this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed. of all the organs, arise from or
uc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
sheir persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.

Change OF Society in Washington.

The events Of the war, as they rapidly
transpire, point to not far distant tri
umph of the National arms over the for
ces which slavery has marshaled for the
National destruction. The time is spec
Oily approaching when representatives
from Southern States will make their APP
pearance in Washington, and when it will
be attempted again to institute the old
game of insolent superiority. They will
find different state OF things in Wash
ington from that which they left They
will find city full of Northern blood
and Northern life. They will find the
power of their pet institution gone, and
slavery, If indeed it do not fall TO predc-
ton in the progress of the war, will be
humble, or grumblng petitioner for
favor or forbearance, rather than dicta-
tor in politics and society. They will
find free spoken lecturers at the Smithso,
nian, Yankees in possession at Wizards,
and freedom popular. 1t is possible that
few she secessionists and traitors in fad
ed brocade aud useless laces, will receive
them, and condole with them over the
lost prestige of barbarism and the depar
ted scepter of King Cotton; but the So
ciety of Washingto ton will and must be in
sympathy with the free spirit of the age.
Power comes henceforth into the hands
of Freedom and of free men, and society
will yoke itself to power, to the proscrip-
ton Of all those who cling to the occurs
ed institution.-Sprinafeid Republican.

CAPTURING GUN-There is an old

quite a character, and is a crack shot
one of the best in the regiment. His Gin
strument," as be terms it, is one of the
heaviest telescope rifles. The other
night at roll call cold Seth was non est
This was somewhat unusual, as the old
chap was always up to time. A Sergeant
went out to hunt him up, he being some
what fearful that the old man had been
hit. After perambulating around in the
advance of lne picket line, he heard a low
halo. "Who's there ?" inquired tie
Sergeant. It's me-" responded Seth,
&c and I've captured Secesh gum
Bring it in, said the Sergeant. Cant
do it." exclaimed Seth.
1t soon became apparent to the Ser
geant that old Seth had the exact range
OF one Of the enemy's heaviest guns. and
they could not load it for fear of being
picked off by him. Again the old man
shouted, " Fetch me couple of haver-
sacks full Of grub, as this is my gun and
the cussed varmints shan't fire it agin
while the scrimmage lasts" This was
done, and the old patriot has kept good
watch over that gnn. In fact it is a

A novel shooting machine has been
brought into use by the Federal army
before Yorktown. A correspondent Of
the New York Evening Post says:
1t consists of large-sized rifle with &
hopper and machinery at the breach,
which loads and fires by turning crank,
one hundred and seventy times in a few
seconds. In fact it is one continuous
discharge. The balls flew thick and fast,
and the Yankee invention must have as.
tonished the other side. There are some
half dezen of these guns in the divis.
ion on trial, and if we may believe our
eyes while watching the effect, they are
entitled TO consideration.
