SAMBUCI FOR HEALTH.-All physicians
readily admit the excellence Of wine in sick
ness. Were pure wines easily to be pro-
cured there would be less fever and disease.
Hooper, in his Medical Dictionary, re-
marks -" The general effects of wine are
TO stimulate the stomach exhilarate the
spirits, warm the habit, quicken the circu-
lation, promote the perspiration, &c. In
many complaints wine is universally admit
ted to be of important service especially in
conyalescency, in which it is found to be q
valuable tonic and restorative; and in many
cases II proves Of more immediate advant.
age than the Peruvian bark. Delirium,
which is the consequence Of lrritabiity and
defective state of the nervous energy, is
often entirely removed by the use Of wine. :"
We have now pure and excellent native
vintage. Spcer's Sambuci wine, made from
the Portugal grape by Mr.. A. Speer Of New
Jersey.
1t is said to be the most reliable VINE in
the market and guaranteed to be exclusively
prepared from the SaSlbuco grape, without
admixture Of sugar or alcohol. Physicians
prescribe it as superior to port in debility,
languor, and in cases Of prostration of
strength 1t is also an excellent restorative
for indigestion. Numerous letters have
been written by lawyers, lecturers, and dis
tnguished divines speaking in high terms
of appreciation of the healthy and invigor-
ating properties of the Sambuci wine.

The Cause Of the Nation.

EThc Nation is triumphant everywhcr e;
at the peaceful election poll, and in the
stormy battlefield. The events of the
last few days confirm and strengthen the
faith of all true believers in the virtue
and intelligence of the people to rule.
In Maryland the issue was direct for
and against Emancipation. The speak
ers who harrangued the people proclaim
ed it from the stand, as the principle on
which they went before the people and
asked their votes. Mr.. Goldsborough
was nominated on the platform of Eman-
cipalon and never failed to present that
as the main issue IN the contest. Mr..
Mafl, his competitor, on the other hand,
placed himself early in the campaign,
firmly on an anti-Emancipation platform.
In fact he courted this position, and left
no means in his power untried 10 make
that the leading principle of the late
canvass, while he disclaimed, very art
fully, as he doubtless supposed, all ipten-
ton of bringing it before the people
We thank him for his persistent efforts
in bringing the Emancipation question
so fairly and squarely before them this
Fall. He very maguanimously offered
himself as the last sacrifice to the slave
power in Maryland. He pinned his faith
to the sleeve of fourteen thousand slave
holders in the State, while he scorned
the rights of seven hundred thousand
non-slaveholders. The judgment was
pronounced at the ballot box on We'd
nesday last, and slavery in the state of
Maryland condemned to die.
BY the peoples choice, on that day, Of
freedom in place OF slavery, they have
added to the property of their State
twice the value it would have command
ed in dollars aud cents the day previous.
Every real estate holder in the State
who was worth one thousand dollars last
week, if he holds the same property to-
day, is worth two thousand The cleo
ton on Wednesday was an enormous
speculation among real estate holders in
Maryland. Wall street will bear no
comparison. And In this grandst spec
ulation of the nineteenth century, none
suffer but the miserable political bears,
who are generally bankrupt in both
pocket AMI principle. They are a very
sore headed set, and may be seen stand
ing about the corners receiving the con-
dolencc of traitors who appear to be all
they have to care for them.

The Oath of Allegiance.

by order Of Major-Gen. Schenck, the
oath of allegiance was required to De ia
ken by voters whose loyalty was chal-
lenged, before depositing their ballots.
y company Of Cavalry, commanded by
Capt. Clayton, was sent into this county
and detachment stitioned in the neigh
borhood of every poll to prevent any dis
turbance, If u compliance with the order
was refused.
Gov. Bradford made an - of him
self by issuing long scolding ''procla-
nation in regard to the order of Major
Gen. Schenck. The Governor is fossil
whose political sands are fast runing
out. His class of men have had their
day in Maryland. Like the Old man of
the Sea, they have ridden the life out of
the State. Their coming doom is fore
Swallowed by the events Of Wednesday

Grace Times of October 3lst, says:
On Saturday night last, Mrs. Col. Spear
was robbed i'll the cars between here and
Baltimore. of lot Of jewelry and other
articles. After passing here she missed the
articles, and made known the fact to the
conductor, Mr.. Goodwin. This gentleman
had taken particular notice of a somewhat
noted Light fingered u character who sat
in the seat Immediately behind the lady,
and who had left the cars at this place. lie
at once suspcioned this man as the thief,
and at the next station he telegraphed back
here 10 the Agent, Mr.. Seneca, who imme,
diately put Constable Hopkins after the
thief. This officer at once went in pursuit
of him, and found him at hotel, asking a
free distribution Of his booty to some of
his acquaintance. The officer arrested
him, and made the parties having the stolen
property disgorge. His name is Samuel
Ferguson, of Cecil county. He had hear
ing before justice Bacon, on Monday, when
Mrs. Col. Spear appeared and recognized
the property. The amount recovered was
about $1,000 worth but this is not cutie
all that was stolen. Ferguson was taken
to Bel Air Jail on Monday afternoon, to
await his trial at the next term of court
AT the hearing before the Justice, he came
near tainting, SO overwhelming was the
proof against him.

Sumter was still progressing with fury on
! the part of General Gilmore and Admiral
Dahgren unprecedented in the annals of
this prolonged siege. For whole week,
day and night. the cannonadng had contin-

thousand shells per day, principally directed
against the sea wall, which fell with a terrible
crash on Saturday last, crushing in its ruins
a number of Rebel soldiers, who were sta.

be made on the fort. The cannonading was

Rebels know this, and hence their pertina-

- We have advices from the city of Mex.
leo to the 9th of September. The news
shows how French intervention operates in
the interior. From their own accounts, it
seems that the French are making very slow
progress indeed in their war of conquest
They can scarcely move without being as

guerrillas, whom nobody can discover nor

and Mex!cans is, i'll fact, just as sharp and
bitter as ever.
- We have dates from Richmond to Mon
day last. The papers are filed with notices
of the scarcity Of food and the mpossibilty
of obtaining bread at any price. Great dis
satisfaction is expressed at the seizure by
the Government Of provisions for the twelve
thousand Federal prisoners now there,
whilst the people are threatened with star

Shall Traitors Vote 1!

The right of traitors to vote came
into question on Monday In Mary land.-
Gen. Schenck issued an order that Pro-
Marshalls should arrest all Rebels
Offering to vote. Gov. Bradford saw fit
to resent the order by proclamation
requiring the Judges Of Election to con-
form to the laws of Maryland, and to
them only, in receiving or refusing
woes. Gen. Schenck suppressed the
proclamation the Governor appealed to
the President, and the President re-
sponded in letter which modified one
section of Gen. Schenck's order, but
which expressly approved its principle.
Wbereupon Gov. Bradford proclaims
against the President also, and General
Schenck permitted the whole document
to be printed, accompanying it with a
supplementary order of his own, and the
Presidents letter.
Gov. Bradford thinks Maryland 10y
al State, and urges that as a reason why
disloyal citizens should be allowed to
vote within her limits. All the candi-
dates for Congress, but one, says the
Governor, are loyal. Mr.. Lincoln re.
spends " In this struggle for the nations
life | cannot SO confidently rely on those
whose election may have depended upon
dis!oyal votes. Such men, when elect
cd, may plove true, but such woes are
given them in the expec at ion that they
will prove false" The answer is "a
sound one. So is the following argu-
ment ; " Nor do / think that 10 keep
the peace at the polls, aud to prevent
the persistently disloyal from voting,
constitutes just cause of ot1ense to Mary
land. l think she has her own example
for it. If mistake not, it is precisely
what Gen. Dix did when your excellency
was elected Governor ~
Gen. Schenck's order was meant to
contine the exercise of the right to vote
to loyal men. 1t was issued at the ur-
gent request Of numerous loyal citizens,
and upon representations not merely that
open Rebels were intending to vote, but
that in certain parts of the State which
are VIGOROUSLY disloyal by large ma-
Jority, there was reason to expect vio-
lence and intimidation to loyal men at
the polls. 1t was not merely question
therefore, whether Rebels should be for
hidden, but whether Unionsists should
be permitted to vote, and should be pro-
tected in voting.
Maryland is Border State, Slave
State, claimed as parcel of the jeff
Davis Confederacy, and contains many
active, able, Jealous, and utterly unscru-
pulous traitors, who are still striving by
all means to take the State bodily out
If the Union. Shall such men be al
lowed to try and cote her out of the
Union p! Gen. Schenck and the Presi-
dent say No. The principle which the
Presidents letter decides, is sinply
hat traitors shah lot be permitted to
voc, where their woes imperl the allie
glance of State to the Union. The
safety of the Republic is the supreme
law. 1t is a monstrous doctrine that
traitors retain and must be allowed to
exercise the civil privileges which they
voluntarily relinquish by their treason,
while OF that treason they are still I'M
purged. No Government can exist
which will deliberately suffer lis author.
ity to be deGod and its power resisted,
whether at the ballot box or by armed
