Tue ENGLISH AT MAzATLAN.-The Capt.
Of the English man-of war "Termagant"
has found an excuse in supposed affrOnt
from General Vegas troops to blockade the
entrance to Mazatlan. The habitual dom
ineering of British officials over weaker
powers is peculiar trait of national mean
ness. Wherever John finds rival down
on bis back or with bis hands tied, he
straightway flaps his wings and begins to
crow over him. lie always sides with the
strong against the weak, and makes his in-
reference an excuse for lining his pockets
handsomely. Thus, step by step, England
has obtained foothold 10 every quarter of
the habitable globe.

as to Bayonet wounds.

The popular idea OF soldiers 10 bayonet
charge struggling hand TO hand and lace
to face, with fixed bayOnets, is likely 70 De
exploded, like many other delusl0ns. we
find, by referring to Guthrie's commenta-
ries on Army Surgery, that these struggles
never occur. We quote that eminent au-
thority:
"a great delusion is cherished in Great
Britain on the subject of the bayOnet-a
sort of monomania very gratifying to the
national vanity. but not quite 10 accord
ance with matter of fact. Opposing regi-
nents, when formed 10 line, and charging
with fixed bayOnets, never meet and strng-
Gle ha1d to hand aud foot to foot, and this
for the very bt st possible reason, that one
side turns round aud runs away as soon as
the others come close enough to do mis-
chief; doubtless cOnsideting that discretion
is the better part OF valOr.
Small parties of men may have personal
conflicts after an affair has been decided, or
in the subsequent scufile, If they can not
get out of the way fast enough. The bat
tie of MAZDA is usually referred to as re-
markable instance of bayonet fight; new
ertheless the sufferers, whether killed OF
wounded, French or English, suffered from
bullets. not bayonets. The late sir james
Kemp commanded the brigade supposed to
have done this feat, but he has assured US
that no charge with the bayOnet took place,
the French being killed in line by the fire
of musketry; fact which OF late received
a remarkable confirmation 10 the published
correspondence of King Joseph Bonaparte,
10 which Gen. Gegnier, writing to him on
the subject, says:
"The First and Forty second regiments
charged with the bay0net until they came
within fifteen PAGES of the enemy, when
they turned et prirGnt la .fretiIe. The second
line, composed OF Polish troops, had alrea-
dy done the same"
Wounds from bayouets were not less rare
in the Peninsular war. 1t may be that all
those who were bayoneted we're killed, yet
their bodies we're never found. A certain
fighting regiment had the misfortune, one
very misty morning, to have a large num-
Der of men carried off by charge of Polish
Lancers, many being also killed. The COM
m anding officer concluded they must be all
killed, for his men possessed exactly the
same spirit as a part of the French Imperi-
al Guard at Waterloo. They might be kill
ed, but they could not by any possibility be
taken prisoners. He retHrned them all dead
accordingly. A few days afterward they
reappeared, to the establishment of every
body, having been swept off by the cavalry,
and had made their escape in the retreat of
the French army thrOuge the woods The
regiment from that day obtained the ludi-
crOus name of the Resurrection men,
The siege of Sevastopool has furnished
many opportunities for partial hand to-hand
bayonet contests, in which many have been
killed aud wounded on oil sides, but do
not learn that in any engagements which
bave taken place. regiments advanced
against each other in line aud really cross
ed bayonets as body, although individual
bravery of smaller parties was frequently
manifested there as we'll as in the war in
the Peninsula.

Why sigh Ger blossoms dead "

Why not seek joys insteadl

This terrible disease is alarmingy on the increase
in this country, and should be attended to in
for there is no complaint more dangerous, and at
tended with more suffering than this fatal disease.
ANY person who has been troubled with venereal,
seminal weakness, any other private disease,
should watch very closely for this trouble. Its first
symptoms is generally unpleasant sensation in
the parts. sometimes of tickling nature, an uneas-
mess OF the mind, underlined dread of something
you know not what and if not attended to the urine
becomes affected and then follow all those dreadful
symptoms which so often result in miserable and
disgusting death. But the suffering before death
comes to relieve the patient, is dreadful; sometimes
punging the sufferer into that living death-lnsan-
ty.
DR.. ]. C. Youngs mode of treatment is a new dis
covery, made within few years by NJ. Ricord of the
French Veneresl Hospitals and is sure. safe and

operation.

A Matter 10 be Settled.

Es- Some difficulty is being created
under the bounty resolutions of the
Board Of Supervisors. The resolutions
give the bounty to those enlisling under
the two calls of the President for 600
600 men, and do not seem to apply to
those who enlist TO fill up the old regi-
ments. Many have enlisted in the Cav
airy, and with the expectation of receiv
ing the bounty, and we see no reason
why they should not receive it. The
object OF the Board was certainly TO in.
.duce enlistments sufficient TO make up
the quota of this county and prevent a
draft here. This object extends to men
TO fill up old regiments AS well as those
in the new, and no discrimination should
be made. We have no doubt that the
Board intended TO make none, and we
hope the Clerk will endeavor to get an
expression Of opinion from its members,
on the matter, Immediately. If a fayora
BILE answer can shortly be obtained we
shall nearly if not entirely fill our quota
by enlistment, and thus prevent draft.
In the meantime, let it be remembered
that the Governor will recommend, and
the Legislature will probably vote, boun-
~ to volunteers for the old regiments.

Departure of the Boys.

Eg- Monday and Tuesday were ex-
citing days in our village. The mem
bers OF both Companies recently recruit
ed here, came in on Monday TO be at the
organization, and hundreds of their
friends came with them. Capt. MILLER s
Company elected him Captain by accla
nation. and deferred further organization
until after reaching camp at Dubuque

elected no officers. but will organize in
camp.

came in by hundreds to see them off, and

and persons We're present at the depot at
the departure. There was the same
fearful good byes, the same scenes of
distress, and the same hearty God speed,
that We have seen and heard before.

included some of our best citizens. No

could have been selected. The enroll
ment is going forward under the super,
attendance of Sheriff WEsTFALL, and will
be completed in a day or two.
The full quota of this county, under
the three calls, is, from the best data we
can secure, about $50. Fully $50 have
enlisted since the calls were made, max
ing it probably necessary to draft about
80 men.
