Conservative doctors report an abatement OF
this epidemic, but assert that it 10 still so
prevalent as to justify general alarm and sys'
tematic countoraction. To this end, they sug-
pest lectures, addresses, and the concerted cir.
culation of sedative documents and tracts
throughout the Winter just before us. A
careful diagnosis of the disease would seem to
be one of the first steps to be taken in the
premises. Among the recorded symptoms of
the disease. the following are the most I'M
portant aud striking The person attacked
betrays the ravnges of the ma!ady by calmly
and steadily asserting and maintaning, as il
in perfect mental and bodily sanity, the fol-.
lowing incredible propositions;
/. That no man should be the owner in fee
simple Of another mans wife and children;
II. That when one man receives and profits
by the labor Of another. be ought to pay for
it. even though one of them should be White
and the other Black;
Ill. That no woman should be sold at the
auction block into compulsory prostitution,
even though the seller should claim to be a!
once her owner and her father;
" That the ability Of one man to earn $40
per day, while another can earn but 81. gives
the former no natural or moral right tO take
TO himself three..ourths Of the lstters earnings,
compelling him 10 live on twenty-five cents or
less per day;
V. That the religion which iustfes and up.
holds such exnction must be- bogus or dam-
aged article, as unlike that " Jesus Christ q,
can well be conceived
VI. That Government asiailed and imler-
lied BY deadly treason should not regard any OF
its lawful subjects as rigbtfully the chaltels OF
implacable traitors, but should cxhort all such
to quit serving the traitors and aid in counter
acting their efforts and thus secure their own
freedoms;
VII That fighting on the defensive, delay

tackled, aud Of course fighting only when the
Rebels are strongest, will never put down n
gigantic Rebellioni
VIII. That Generals who agree with the
Rebel chiefs in the fundamental principles on

TX Tha. Generals should be selected BY the
President for their presumed capacity, energy,
efficiency, and not forced on him by Military
cabals and threats of bringing in Stonewall

X That those politicians who have ten
words of criticism aud reproach for the I'D
ministration and its unqualified supporters. to
every one for the Rebels menacilg the exist

the traitors very resolutely, or seck to reduce

themselves that it cannot be necessary to COM

We have again TO tender our thanks to
responses to the call Of Gen. Boyle for rftn-
forcemeuts. Many thousands Of noble soldiers
have passed through our city within the last
ten days, and are now stationed at points
where they are longing to hear Of another reb-
e1 raid.
United States military officers, by order ct
Gen. Boyle, are leyy1ng contributions upon
the resident rebels to remunerate the Union
men robbed by the gnerillas. This is the
right policy, and it will do good. It will array
against gue1illaism many thousands Of rebel
wise hold ont every iDducement to Morgan

State.
We learn that the I'd Ohio cavalry will
I be removed from Kansas into some other

sincerely hope this is true.

The vast amount Of Gwning and servili-
ty there is to be found in the world; and
the alacdty With which some men jump
TO do the bidding OF their superiors; their
fondness for bending their backs to the
burden, and crawling on their bellies at the
feet Of their betters, has given some show
OF truth to the assertion that some men are
born to be masters, as others are to be
slaves. The attempt, however, to deter
mine BY the shape Of the nose, the curl Of
the hair, or the color Of the skin, who are
made to be slaves, and who to be masters,
will always be found a mistake. The Crea-
tor has not stamped upon any mans face
the mark Of bondage, or spread out
in his complexion the TACT Of his
being a natural born slave. There
are, however, low and degraded men
to be seen everywhere, whose meanness
of spirit, and inherent servility Of nature
advertise to ill the world that they are jus'
fit to be the slaves Of the ambitious and
despot4c, and do the dirty or cruel work ol
the tyrant and oppreasor. It is not the
cxookedness Of the mans bones, but the
twisted and perverse bent Of his dispoHi
ton that fits him for degraded service. T
