Any of our readers afflicted with
SCRoyuLA or Scrofulous complaints, will
do we'll to read tho remarks in our ad.
vertising columns respecting it. But
little of the nature Of this disorder has
been known by the people, and tho clear
exposition Of it there given, will prove
acceptable and useful We have long
admired the searching and able manner
in which DIR. AVER treats every subject
he touches: whatever has his attention
at all, has great deal of it; he masters
what he undertakes, and no one who
has particle of feeling for his afflicted
fellow man, can look with Indifference
upon his labors for the sick. Read
what he says of Scrofula, and see in
how few words and how clearly he tells
us more than we all have known of this
insidious and fatal malady.-Sm, Paid

rae geology OF Michigan.

In all article under the above head in
the Scientific American Of March 8, the
editor reviews the able report Of Prof.
A. Winchell, State Geologist, and in so
.ioing pays handsome and well-descrved
compliment to the author. We copy
that portion Of the article which refers
particularly to the resources Of the Sag
inaw Valley:
"I'he commercial Importance of these
salines may be best understood when we
say that between Lake Michigan aud Salt
Lake, in Utah. no brine springs have
been discovered. The whole northwest
ern country must then be tributary t.
this State for its supply of common salt.
Brine springs have been discovered west
of Michigan, but they lie in the British
possessions.
"Thc coal formation, too, has received
the attention of the survey. The number
of the seams of coal, their thickness
their depth beneath the surface, as wei
as the thickness Of the entire surface
have been determined. At present the
north of Michigan is covered with al
immense growth of forest vegetation
But few years will pass, aud this vas
amount Of forest will give way befor,
the AK Of the woodman. Then will the
hidden wealth of coal be sought for tC
work her brine springs, to feed her loco
motives, furnaces aud forgcs, as well a
to give heat to the inhabitants Of tn
country,
"To the agricultural portion of tn
State the value of the beds of Gypsum
cannot be overratod. These have re
ceived special attention in the report
Michigan is land of sandy soil-on
that feels the genial effects of sulphate 0
lime (plaster Of the fariner), and abund
antly rcpays the outlay of its USE
Michigan Is the only State Of tho Unio
'eh,ch possesses supply Of gypsum, salt an
COAL"

SALT FOR THE WEsr.-The schrs
Willard and Qaickstep are now taking in
cargoes of salt from the East Saginaw
Salt Manufacturing Company's Works,
for Milwaukee and Chicago and the
schrs. Starlight aud Winslop, bark Jssss
Hoyt, and brig Bay City, will also load
for the same destination with salt from
the Same source, making in all six full
cargocs of salt from East Saginaw this
spring for the " Great West" If ls
months ago ono had prophesied such a
result from the salt operations here, he
would have been set down at once by
outsiders as fool, and even here
he would have been consid sredby far
too visionary"

The FREsu." The water has no,
been as high for many years in this sec

nothing to speak Of" A wilderness
of water is all around, and but for the
sudden cold which the weather has
taken, We believe all Saginaw would

has resulted as yet in loss of lumber OF

to be subsiding, we look for an immedi.

The river steamer Lou,sa threw her
propeller wheel off from the shaft when

THE MoNiToR.-We learn from a
gentleman just returned from Fortress
Monroe, after careful inspection Of the
Monitor and long interview with her
officers, that in the opinion of Mr.. Sti.
mers, the chief engineer of that vessel,
the rebel steamer Merrimac will find an
antagonist difficult to overcome. Every
thing pertaining to the Monitor is in
admirable condition, and the crew are
not only ready but eager for a brush
with the enemy. Mr.. Sinners gave the
comforting assurance that Mr. Erics.
sons battery is certainly superior to the
Merrimac, and that in regard to speed
she could beat her at least two knots an
hour There has been much question
in relation TO both these points, but
those on board the Monitor entertain no
apprehensions. In the late encounter,
she was in the worst possible plight, on
account of her rough experience at sea,
aud the suffocatiDg effects Of coal-gas,
driven from the furnace by the water
which entered the smoke stack; but now
everything is in good fighting trim. No
doubt the Monitor will give good re-

ABOLITION FREE SPEEcH.--Medary, Of
the Crisis, (Ohio) in an excellent article
on the late riotous proceedings at the
Opera House, Cincinnati, says among
other things:
"Somo thirty years ago we stood guard
to prevent the boys FROM egging an abo'
lition meeting, as we thought free
speech was a sacred right to even aboli-
tionists, as much as we despised their
doctrines. We lived to sec these very
aboltionists cry for our press and our
blood, because wo were exercising the
right we guarded SO sacredly for them,
and for which they cried SO Justify. We
now, late as il is, are forced to the con
clusion that we spent fruitless night in
putting our life in jeopardy for men who,
at their first instalment into power, belied
every declaration they ever made, a..i
proved, from their numerous acts of des.
potic violence, that they were the most
arrant hypocrites and traitors on earth.
"lf the little incident, therefore, in
Cincinnati hos brought us all right again
& I'd be praised for his great mercies, and
hereafter let us all, with one mighty
voice, cry out free Speech free press,
and no moro Bastiles for opinions sake

mosphere, and brings health and hilarity
into the settlement

Justice of the comparison in the follow
ing short and pithy extract which We
make from an article in the Harrisburg
pal Patriot and Union:
ave had a rebellion once in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t extended over a number OF
western counties. Ii was caused by
whisky, or more properly speaking, a
tax upon whisky. Washington sum
moned an army, aud mar, he'd westwar'ii
but before he reached the scene of the
revolt the rebels dispersed, and the re
bellion came To AN end. The President
was satisfied with this result. lie did
not say, "This rebellion Was caused by
whisky, and we cannot hope for peace
while there is "a gallon of whisky dis
titled IN Pennsylvania" He did MOI
endeavor to remove the cause by demol
ishing all the distillerles in Pennsylvania
He did not say that while whisky con
tinued TO be distilled there was reason
TO anticipate periodical rebelllons. Ills
business was to enforce the laws. liz
did that promptly and sutnmarily, anC
considered the work finished. Nov
whisky was linden ably cause of Thu
rebellion. Had there been no whisk,
there would have been no rebellion
Whisky was as much the cause of tina
rebellion as slavery is Of this. We hav
never had another rebellion on accoun
of whisky, and when this rebellion
put down we win never have anothe
rebellion on account Of slavery.n
