MEDICAL.
SCrofula, or Kings Evil

Is constitutional disease, 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 organis free from its attacks,
nor is there one which il may not destroy. The
scrofulous faint is variously caused BY mercarial
disease, low living, dis0rdered or unhealthy food,
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection.
Whatevcr be It's origin, It is hereditary in the
constitution, descending "from parents 10 chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation: indeed
il seems 20 be the rod of Him who says: II will
visit the iniquities 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-
bercles; in the glands, swellings; and on tie 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-
structye diseases Of the liver, kidneys brain, and
indeed. of all the organs, arise from or are az
gravated by the same cause
One quarter of all our people ase scrofulous,
their persons are invaded by this lurking infec-
ton, and their health is undermined by il. To
cleanse it from the system we must renovate the
blood by an Alternative medicine, and invigorate
it by-healthy food and exercise. Such medicine
we supply in

The importance Of the victories at Island Ten
and Pittsburg cannot be overestimated. II, as
we have every reason to believe, the army of
BEAuRreARD is overthrow, there can be no
serious obstruction to prevent our gunboats
reaching New Orleans and the Union armies
from taking possession of the capitals Of the
Southwestern States-Texas, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Mississippi. and Alabama. There can be
but little doubt that the rebellion in those States
in military point of view, is overcome. With
the defeat Of the rebel army in Virginia, which
now seems to be foregone conclusion, and that
too within a short period, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia can offer but a
the Federal forces Within few months we
may confidently expect that the Union troops
will have military possession of the capitals of all
the rebel States and that they will be held as
Tennessee now is There will be more fighting
desperate fighting, before these events are ac-
complisbed, but the rebel Government can not
much longer successfully resist the triumphant
advance of the Federal armies.
But the dispersion of the rebel armies and the
military occupation of the capitals of the rebel
States will not end the rebellion. This accom-
plished new difficulties will arse, the solu-
ton of which will demand wiser--statesmship
than that which now directs the Government.
II is demonstrated we think that the Federal
Government can overpower the rebellious States,
but in so doing we conquer people proud as
ourselves. whose hatred toward us eliminated in
the rebellion, and that bitterness will remain
seeking an opportunity to redress, whenever they
can, what they conceive to be their wrongs. II
is over eighty years since the Revolution which
separated us from Great Britain, but that period
has not eradicated natural hatred of Eng
land and the desire of the sons to renewedly
avenge the wrong attempted upon the fathers.
There is no hope for permanent peace and
reunion without an honorable adjustment
of the quarrel We can not expect a
Inundated people to live with us in peace, and
who is there that desires an American citizen to
be degraded? The Northern people can now af
ford to be magnanimous. The disasters to the
Northern arms have been amply atoned. With
the dispersion of the rebel armies, let the olive
branch be offered to the people of the South, and
such settlement of the controversy that PEG :
pie as spirited at ourselves can accept without a
feeling of humiliation, which, instead Of destroy
ing, would make more intense the sectional pre-
JUDGE and animosity which precipitated upon the
country the terrible ordeal that it is now under
going.

One year, to the very day, from the time when
Beauregard notified Major Anderson that inter-
course between the loyal United States garrison
in Fort Sumter and the rebel city of Charleston
would no longer be permitted, terrible retri-
button was visited upon the Confederates at
Pitisburg Landing, in the State of Tennessee,
and the traitor who directed the first gun to be
fred upon the flag of his country, was defeated,
with a slaughter the very thought of which is
sickening. The 9th and 7th of April will long
be gloomily remembered, for although the tri-
umph of the loyal arms seems to have been COM
pete, and the rebel rout overwhelming, the vic.
tory wus dearly purchased We need not ask at
tention to the details received by telegraph; the
whole national heart has been pulsating
wildly for days in terrible expectation,
and the almost impenenetrable silence at
tending the movements of our army has added
to the fearful excitement. The hush has been
like that of the elements, when call nature sinks
with fervent heat before the thunder storm
breaks forth, and now that the crash has come,
we almost hold our breath in suspense as we re-
coil from the stunning reports. We fervently
thank the God of Battles that the cause of 10y
atty and national honor has trumphed, but OIL
the agony and desolation that will be caused to
homes in the noble North and in the erring but
still beloved South We see the eagles of our
country proudly upreared over the dun smoke of
the dreadful battle field, but though the Lord
hath avenged chat country of all that rose against
her, we feel like King David when he heard the
fate of his rebel son: 30 my son, Absalom, my
son, my son, Absalom would God had died for
thee: 0 Absalom, my son, my sonl-Louiscilie

intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague,
kemittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb

indeed for the w n ole class of diseases
caused by the maiarla Of MissmsIic
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which. while it cures the above CON-
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 misasmatic 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 il 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 Quinine OF mineral, consequently
it produces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by
il are left as healthy as if they had never had the
disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis.
orders arse from ITS irritation. among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma Pal
pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hys-
terics, Pain in the Bowels. Colo, Paralysis and
Derangement of the Stomach, all Of which, when
originating in this cause, put on 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 or 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 70 ripen into
disease Hence it is even more valuable for pro-
lection than cure, and few will ever suffer faom
Intermttents if they avail themselves of the pro-
ection this remedy affords. Prepared by

PredIcfian.

The Washington correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Commercial predicts that 'before the first
day Of January, 1863, the President will declare
general emancipation of the slaves of rebels a
military necessity" BE says that there is not a
thoroughly loyal man in Washington who be
heves il possible to subdue the rebels without the
adoption Of that measure By such means the
attempt is being made TO abolitionize the North
If we remain one Government the prosperity of
The South is necessary to the progress and pros
perity of the North. Could the sudden emanci-
patton of three or four millions of slaves have
any other effect than to impoverish the South by
changing that number of producers into a de-
pendent and worthless populatiouf Can such a
measure be of any benefit to the North

Not Satisfied.

few weeks ago the Republicans were lauding
the patriotism and no-partyism of Senator
WRIGHT. They even conceded he was a Union
list of the right stripe, although protested Dem
ocrat. and stating that he should adhere to Dem
ocratic principles. But it appears that in his
case, as it will in that of all who are or may be
situated like him. the Republicans will not accept
any Union men who will not swallow all Re-
publican measures, The sinking of party during
the war the Republicans have made a test of 10y
atty 70 the Government. Governor WRIGHT has
cheerfully supported, and is willing to support,
all measures for the overthrow of the rebels in
arms and for the restoration of the Union as
formed and administered by the fathers Of the
Republic, but it seems he Is unwilling to repudi-
ate his life long avowed principles by supporting
distinctive Republican party measures, and there
fore his devotion to the Union is doubted. The
ST Louis Democrat, a radical Republican paper,
thus alludes to him:
Hon. Joseph A. Wright, appointed by Governor
Morton United States Senator from Indiana in
place Of Bright traitor expelled begins his Sen
atorial career by vehement speech against the
abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia
slavery spirit He referred to the laws of Indi-
ana prohibiting the African from holding
real estate, and thought if Congress passed this
bill "setting all the slaves loose" il would be
necessary 70 enact law like that of Indiana, for
the District Of Columbia
The indianapolis journal expressed great sat
isfaction over the appointments of Gov. WRIGHr
as one eminentIy fit TO be made, and it published
with expressions Of intense appreciation his speech
accepting the appointment and defining his posi-
ton, but we have looked in vain for the pubIica-
ton of the speech of Governor MonTox's APP
pointee against the abolition Of slavery in the
District of Columbia
Another Republican paper. the Valparaiso Re
public, thus expresses the Republican disappoint-
ment:
He has certainly. in the outset, disappointed
the expectations Of bis friends, but il is some
consolation to know that his time is short. and
that bis successor will take warning by his fate,
and avoid the errors into which he has fallen. -
This is the way the Republicans illustrate their
nO-partyism. They appIauded to the echo the
sentiment Endorsed BY Senator wRIeHr: Away
with all party creeds. party platforms. and party
prejudices or party conventions, until we again
have country" but when he opposes purely
Republican party proposition. then they are thank
full "his time is short" No Democrat can ex-
pect any sympathy or support from Republicans
unless he Is now willing to swallow the Chicago
platform. and soon they will not be satisfied with
anything short Of Garrison Abolitionism.

Reorganization of The Republican


The Albany Journal, the representative of
eating the reorganization of the Republican party,
gives the following one of the reasons for that
policy: "But parties will exist after the war; and
so will the issues which, before the war, separated
the Republican from the Democratic party" 1t
is in favor Of the Republicans now maintaining
the distinctive issues which they have heretofore
advocated and upon which they succeeded in ob
tanning the control of the Government. Another
Republican organ, the New York World, more
clearly defines the considerations which should
determine the Republicans to adhere to their par
" organization for the purpose of maintaining
and continuing their party ascendency. 1t says:
The Republican politicians who take the most
active interest in this prospective movement are
well known friends of Secretary Seward, and it
may fairly be inferred that the efforts in this d
reetion are inspired by him. His friends form a
majority of the present Republican party in New
York; but if the policy pursued last fall should
be repeated, and the next election be carried by
the aid of Union Democrats, it is probable that
the friends of Mr. Seward would find themselves
in a minority in a party thus reinforced. As the
Republicans are strong enough to carry the State
tcitkou such aid, there powerful obvious rea-

the maintenance of a strict party organization.
This foreshadows the policy which will be pur
sued by the Republican leaders. There will be
fusion with the elements antagonistic to Re
pubIicansm in any of the States where the Repub-
icans are strong enough to carry them without
such aid This will be the extent of the no
partyism of the Republicans. In this State, the
Republican leaders will make the next political
battle upon strict party issues, if they have
reasonable confidence OF success. With such
prospect they will not ask the aid or seek an
asiiation with "Union Democrats" This is
just the extent of their very patriotic PROPOSE
tons of party during the They didn't
want any outside aid at the recent election in
New Hampshire; they didn't any in New
York; nor will they want it in any State where
they go it alone. An unconditional Union
party with them means nothing less than the I'M
conditional triumph of Republican principles,
Republican policy and Republicans. They will
unfurl the black banner wherever they are strong
enough. and nobody should be deceived by hypo-
critical professions TO the contrary.

soldier sprang from his log, seized his prey or

Compound Extract Of SarSaparilIa,

The most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing fatal malady Its combined from the
most active remedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of the foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its de-
structiye consequences. Hence it should be en-
employed for the cure of not only Scrofula, but
also those other affections which arise from it,
such as Eruptive and Skin Diseases, St Anthony's
Fire, Rose, Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotch
es, Bains and BOils, Tumors, Teder and Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism,
Syphiltic and Mecurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dys-
pepsia, Debility. and, indeed. all Complaints
arising from Initiated or Impure Blood The
popular beliefin "impurity of the blood" is found
ed in truth, for Scrofula is a degeneration of the

this Sarsaparilla is 10 purify and regenerate this
