ScrOfula. or Kings Evil

is constitutional disease, corruption of tn
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation i
pervades the whole body, and may burst OF,
in disease on any part of it. No organ is FREE
from its attacks, nor is there one which it ma,
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variousl,
caused by mercural disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air., fltl
and filthy habits, the depressing vices and
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending +" from parents to clildrc,
unto the third and fourth generation - indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, o.
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from tht
blood OF corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, il
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termct
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and OF
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor.
ruption, which genders in the blood, depressc,
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous consttu.
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 dircctl,
in this scrofiilous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed of all the organs, arise from OF
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.

"The Signs of the Times"

Maryland has about hundred thousand
"free" negroes-that is, useless, non-pro-
ductive negroes, social monstrosities, the
result Of absurd social theories formerly
prevalent, and that, of course, constitute
great drawback on the prosperity and pro-
gress Of that State, for though these USE
less people are generally on-productive,
they obtain miserable subsistence off the
products of the white citizenship, and
some hundred thousand healthy, produc-
ing useful negroes. But Mr. Abraham
Lincoln has gotten notion in his brain
that the greater the number of useless,
n-producing negroes State can possi-
bly, obtain, the better for that State, and
therefore advises Maryland to "change its
system" and transform its hundred thou
sand healthy, useful, producing negroes,
into non-producing and good-for nothing
negroes. He hopes to build up an "anti-
slavery" or "free negro" Union-that is,
Union with four millions of negroes !;
and interpreting the "signs of the times"
to indicate this tendency, solemnly appeals
to the white citizenship of Maryland, Ken
lucky, &c., to heed them and hasten to
change their relations to these negroes,
and instead of subordination or so-called
slavery, to equalize with them as rapidly
as possible Indeed, he does not stop
with this solemn and afectionate appeal,
but throws out threat that the time may
come when he, Abraham Lincoln, under
the "war power" of course, and to bring
the war to close, may be forced to set
aside the Almighty Creator and make the
negro the equal of the white man, or as he
would say, "abolish slavery" and decree
Impartial freedom" in the border States.
But after all, the President is slow, de-
cidedly slow, in this great work of elm
partial freedom" or of reconstructing the
Union on an "anti-slavery" basis--the
war has lasted year, and twelve hundred
millions expended, and only forty thou
sand free negroes secured. At the same
ratio it will need several hundred years
and more money than the world owns, to
reach the happy and glorious end Of Sim
partial freedom" with the subject race
Meanwhile, there are "signs of the times"
that it will be well for Mr.. Lincoln to
heed himself His own State Of Illinois
excludes free negroes, and the very three
thousand free men he has just created in
the Federal District, or the forty thousand
in his boarding houses elsewhere, will be
nabbed and sold to pay their Jail fees, if
they venture in his own State.

Free Negroism, or the Failure of Eman
cipati0n.

We have received a pamphlet with the above
title, from Van Evrie, Horton & Co., of New
York, which is very opportune publication
The public have long needed concise history of
the results of Emancipation, and here they have
it. The facts have been difficult to get at, but
the decline of Hayti, Jamaica and all the coun-
tries where the negro has been freed, is here
proved from official figures and from Abolition
testimony ITSELF The loss of production to the
world by freeing the negro is enormous. In the
item of groceries alone the writer shows that the
North is now paying Forty Millions Of dollars an
nually more for them than she ought to, because
their high price is occasioned by the idleness of
the negro. This work should be widely circula-
ted, and all who wish to refute the arguments of
Abolitionists ought to have it constantly by
their side. Farmers, mechanics and all white la
boring men are deeply interested in understand
ing this subject. The writer shows that every
negro at work in the tropics creates demand
for white labor, the grain of the farmer, &c. To
set free 100000 more, he argues, would ruin
the country. All who wish this work can get it
by enclosing the small sum of Ten Cents, or ST.
will get dozen copies by mail, postage paid. -

Wages 10 Cents Per Day!

The Philadelphia Euening Journal says
that owing to the great influx of negroes
into Chester County, Pennsylvania, wages
have been reduced to such an extent as to
render many of the negroes willing to Ia
Dor for ten cents per day!
This is perhaps, the FIRST instance in
Pennsylvania, where negro labor came in
ruiDous competition with white labor, but
it will not be the last, if the fanatical abo-
litonists persist in Kidding the Southern
States Of their negroes, and budding them
together in swarms, in the free States. If
the white men at the North, who have to la
Dor for their bread, sustain the abolition
lists little while longer, they will not be
able to obtain any employment whatever,
eOen at ten cents per day, where the negro
can be made to answer.
1t seems strange to us, that the white
mechanics and laboring men in the free
States, have not long since sent men to
Congress who will pay some attention to
the wants and the interests of white men,
instead of returning year after year, ia
natical abolltionists whose entire time and
attention is occupied in legislating for the
negro. But they will not always remain
insensible to their own rights and inter
ests. The abolition physic is beginning
to work, and it only needs the influx of a
few more negroes from the South into
their midst, before they will be ready to
to trample abolitionism into the earth and
curse the day that it was ever introduced
amongst them.-Frederick (Ma.) Union.

How Long is this War to Last

Mr.. Secretary Stanton is reported to
have been in o great state of trepidation at
the time of the defeat Of Banks. He tele-
graphed all over the North for troops to
come on with all speed that sthe enemy
in great force were advancing or Washing
ton" The next day the Secretary got over
his fright, and countermanded his order
for three months militia, and asking for
only such as would serve for three years or
during the war. 10 this last despatch
there is evidence that Mr.. Stanton was
not quite himself, for he let's out an adj
mission which we have not before seen al
lowed by any member Of the Administra-
ton. He says he thinks the duration of
the war "aoiW not be longer than year"
that is the first of June, 1868 POUNDS,
is this the future before us All the or
gans of the Administration have been tel
ling the people that the war would be over
by the 4th of July, but here it is put off q
year? Why not say that it will last Mr..
Lincoln's term out, and be done with it !?
As long as money can be vigorously made
by printing and as vigorously expended
as long as horse contracts are needed to
settle up old political quarrels, and as long
as gun contracts are required to keep Alb
clifton papers preaching treason to the
Constitution, just SO long, we suppose, We
must make up our minds to bear the bur-'
dens of war and experience the luxury of
taxation.-N y Caucasian.

WAR NEWS

It is said that in consequence of the interrupt
ton of telegraphic communication, the Govern
ment has no authentic information of the state of
affairs on the Peninsula, between the James and
Chickahominy.. The reports forwarded by the
correspondents of the press however, indicate.
that important events have transpired before
Richmond within the last week, but with the ex-
ception of very brief account of the battle fought
on Friday, 9th, no reliable information has
been received. 1t appears that on Friday of
last week the Confederates crossed the Chicka-
hominy in large force, and attacked the right
wing ofthe Federal army. The battle was a Sc
we're one, and lasted five hours. It is reported
that the Confederetes were at first repulsed, but
the Federal army finally fell back, with loss of
1900 killed, wounded and missing The Wash

Gen. Mcclellan commenced a movement chang

Is is also reported that Generals Beauregard,
Price and jackson were all in Richmond.
The Confederate officers in command on FRI
day were Gems. Lee, Hill, Anderson and Branch.
Adespatch states that the Federal Ram feet
had communicated with Com. Farragut. The
Confederates were to be attacked the next day.
The Confederate force was estimated at $4,000.

Gen. Curtis is reported to he in perilous situa-

Another report says that Gen. Hindman was

ward the Missouri line.

A Years Corruptions.

When the history Of the present war
shall be hereafter written, one of its most
revolving pages will be that which chroni-
Giles the corruptions of the first year of
Republican rule. Rendered reckless by
the richness of the prize SO unexpectedly
thrown into their hands, like poor man
who suddenly finds himself the possessor
of vast wealth bequeathed to him by some
hitherto unheard-of relation, the partizans
of the administration clutched at the spoils
with indecent greediness, sacrificing repu-
tations that in many instances had re-
NAMED for lifetime unsullied, in their
eagerness to seize the golden moment to
enrich themselves at the nations expense.
The sufferings of the people, the perils of
the Government, were nothing in the
sight of the rapacious crowd that .focked
to the capital to share in the free scramble
for gold. Indeed, it seemed as though the
greedy spoilsmen believed that the nation
was in its dying throes, and fastened to
secure each as large q share as possible Of
the common estate, while there was yet
time. 1t may we'll call the blush to the
cheek of an American when, in future
years, he reads that an high cabinet off,
Ger was driven from his position by the
very foulness of his corruptions, and that
instead of defending himself from the CEN
sure of the Congress Of the United States,
! he turned upon his censors, and charged
them with having begged in vain for the
drippings of his Department!
Indeed, time alone will deyelope the
extent of the frauds practiced upon the
Government in the hour of It's deepest
peril. Every week brings Its develop
ments. From the Holt Committee, we
anow learn that two citizcns Of Rhode
Island obtained contracts from the War
department for certain number Of small
arms, through the influence Of Senator
Simmons, of that State, and for which that
Senator was to receive $4,000 The ev-
idence to be submitted with this statement
shows that $4,000 has been received BY
him. Senator Simmons, when called
upon for his testimony, boldly admitted
that be had received the money, and seem.
Jed to think il no disgrace that d Senator
of the United States should thus barter
away his party influence with the Admin
4 istration.

opments in regard to the Fremont con-
tracts. Gen. NICK instry, who was arrest
