TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRoRs.-"J. w. o.

words "those hounds" were made to read
"thcre hands )" and that "vigor" usurps
the place of "rigor," while "bull tanning" is
enormously rendered all-turning."
We have referred to the MS and find
that our correspondents language was as
stated, but 50 illegiblc was the copy, it re-
qured the Interpretation of the note to
give shape to the words in question. And
right here we wish to say to our friends and
correspondents that printer boys can see
just as far into milestone, as any other
man, and no farther. When MS is so illeg

friends cannot read it, he or she cannot in
justice shy brick bat at the compositor

for typographical mistakes quite as fire.

The One Idea.

We publish this morning report of speech
made by WENDELL PHILLIPS in Boston upon his
return from his Western tour. Mr. PHILLIPS is
a man of great ability and he is a consistent Alb
oltionist. As he fairly reflects the sentiments
and purposes of the Emancipationists, we repro
duce his speech to enlghten the public thereupon.
PHILLIPs has but one idea, the Abolitionists have
but one idea-the enfranchisement of the negro
and placing him upon a social and political equal
ty with the white citizen. To accomplish
that end they make all else subsidiary.
Before the war they were in favor
of and advocated a separation of nine
teen States from the Union to be divorced
from slavery, but now they are Unionists, not
under the Constitution, but with the hope that
the military power may override that instru-
ment, and under the plea of necessity" by
edict abolish slavery wherever it exists. As
evidence of this We make single extract from
his speech:
Mr. Lincoln, the nation, may abolish slavery;
they can not save it. God appealed first to the
pulpts-they were barred against his messenger;
he appealed to ballots-they were too slow for
his method; he appeals TO bullets, and the slaves
Of the District are the first trophies of his vic
tory.
So. according to PHILLPs-the Yankee abol
tionist-it was God, not the Southern men, who
brought about this war. He says it is Gods cap
peal to bullets" to abolish slavery. PHILLIPS and
his co-aborers not only intend that the negro
shall be free, but that he shall be the equal of
the whites Hear him:
He came home with one idea. No Yankee, no
Buckeye, no HOoser, no natives, no foreigners,
no black, no white no German, no Saxon, in that
beautiful future behold-Only American citi-
zens, with one law impartial over all; an empire
stretching from the Lakes to the Gulf, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; every race, every man,
free.
That's the one idea. That's the Abolition pro-
gramme. mo black, no white, one law Impair
tial over ALL" This philanthropy, in the abstract
reads very prettily, but when reduced to practice
the poetry vanishes. Are the people of Indiana
ready for the negro feast? We think they will
sink this Abolition humbuggery so deep, the first
time they get chance to strike it, that even the
hands of the resurrectionists can not reach it.

Jefferson at Monticello.

A new life of Thomas Jefferson has been
published, the material Of which has been
chiefly derived from Captain Edmund Bacon,
for twenty years the chief overseer and busi-
ness manager of Mr.. Jeffersons estate at
Monticello. We make the following extracts:
Mr.. Jefferson's neighbors were very anxious
that he should build Touring mill. There
was small one there, but large one was
very much needed. While he was President,
they thought he had large salary, and that
he was better able to build one than anybody
else He was always anxious to benefit the
community as much as possible, and he under
took it. 1t cost great deal of money, and
was a very bad investment / had the foun-
dation dug, and superintendent Its erection.
l have had quantities of letters from him, CIV
ing instructions about that mill. He employed
a man named Shoemaker, from the North,
who was used to building mills, to assist him
in planning and building it. 1t was built of
rock. 1t was large building, four stories
high, and had four run of stone. The dam
was three-fourths of mile above the mill, and
canal was made that distance along the
bank of the river, to bring the water to the
mill. That dam and canal cost thousands of
dollars. Two-thirds of the way, the canal

How Is II!

General GRANT, in his letter to General BEAU
REGARD, declining to permit the rebel command
er to send men under flag of truce for the pur-
pose OF burying the dead of the Southern army,
saws:
lowing to the warmth of the weather,
deemed it advisable to have all the dead Of both
parties buried Immediately. Heavy detcils were
made for this purpose, and IL is hOU accom-
plished"
This letter of Gen. GRANT to BEAUREGARD is
dated "Pittsburg. April 9, 1862" Now, there
must be some error in this, or Gen. GRANT was
imposed upon by those he orderesl'so bury the
dead of both parties. The editor of the Lafay-
cite Journal JAS p LUsE. ESQ., writing I'M
der date of "Pittsburg, April -, 1862" four
days later than Gen. GRANTS letter, says:
1--WE passed over the field five days after the
fight, and yet there were many bodies unbured
Iu place, nearly tteo hundred rebels ,ceTe ly-
ing IN the space of an acre. We saw frequently
single corpse separated from the others, tar out
in the thicket, where the wounded rebel had
crawled TO die"
Mr.. LUsE Is well known citizen OF Indiana, a
of close observation, and not likely to make
assertions at random. There must be some error
about this but where the mistake lies, it is diff
cult to say. Gen. GRANT may hare been deceiv-
ed by some Of his subordnates.

MEDICAL.
SCrOfula, or Kings Evil

Is constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated. weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part oft. No organi 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, disOrdered or unhealthy food.
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection.
W hatevcr be Its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution, descending "from parents to chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation" indeed
1t seems 70 be the rod of Him who SAYS: Il will
visit the iniquites of the fathers upon their chill
dren"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which. in
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed tu
berces; in the glands, swellings; and on the sur
face, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption,
which genders in the blood, depresses the ener-
gies of life, so that scrofulOus constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulous complaints but they
have far less power TO Withstand the attacks of
other diseases; consequently vast numbers perish
by disorders which, although not scrofulous in
their nature, still rendered fatal by this faint
in the system. Most of the consumption which
decimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulOus contamination: and many de-
structive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain, and
indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are ag-
gravated by the same cause
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous,
their persons are invaded by this lurking infec-
ton, and their health is undermined by it. To
cleanse it from the system we must renOvaIe the
blood by an Alternative medicine, and invigorate
it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine
we supply in

Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague.
ReEnittent Fever, Chill Fever, DUmb

lions Headache, and Bilious Fevers,
indeed for the whole class of diseases
caused by the Malaria OF miasmaIic
Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while il cures the above COM
plants with certainty, is still perfectly harmless
in any quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in
districts where these affecting disorders prevail
This "Cure" expels the misasInatic poison of
Fever and Ague from the system, and prevents
the development of the disease, if taken on the
first approach of its premOnitOry symptoms. Ii
Is not only the best remedy ever vet discovered
for this class of complaints but also the cheapest
The large quantity we supply for dollar brings
it within the reach of everybody; and in bilious
districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, every
body should have it and use it freely both for cure
and protection. a great superiority of this
remedy over any other ever discovered for the
speedy and certain cure of Intermittents, is that
it contains no QuiniLe mineral, consequently
1t produces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by
it are left as healthy if they had never had the
disease
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis
OfuefS arise from It's irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma. Pal
pitatOn, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hys-
terics, Pain in the Bowels. Collie, Paralysis and
Derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This Cure" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken oc-
casionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and can
not accumulate in sufficient quantity ripen into
disease. Hence it is even more valuable for pro-
lection than cure, and few will ever suffer flom
Intermittents if they avail themselves of the pro-
ection this remedy affords. Prepared by
