erful strengthning properties, excite the just
wonder and astonishment of all who have
ever given it a trial. Over one thousand
certificates of remarkable cures performed by
it within the last two years, attest the fact.

To Horse Owners !

DIR. SWEETS INFALLIBLE LINTMENT
FOR HORSES is unrivalled by any, and in
all cases of Lameness arising from Sprains,
Bruises or Wrenching, its effect is magical
and certain. Harness or Saddle Calls,
Scratches, Mango, &C., it will also cnre
speedily SPAWN and Ringbone may be
easily prevented and cured in their incipient
stages, but confirmed cases are beyond the
possibility of a RADICAL CURE. No case of the
kind, however, is so desperate or hopeless
but it may be alleviated by this Liniment,
and its faithful application viii always re-
move the Lameness, and enable the horses to
travel with comparative ease.
Every Horse Owner
should have this remedy at hand, for its
timely use at the first appearance of Lame
ness will effectually prevent those formidable
diseases, to which all horses are liable, and
which render so many otherwise valuable
horses nearly worthless.

United States Medical Department.

Surgeon General Hammond in his annual
report, states that the annual expense of his
department have been s2,37I, lib. The num-
ber of general hospitals is one hundred and
flfly. At present the medical department has
charge of 10000 patients. Shortly after the
battle of Antetam it was 100000
The report pays high compliment to the
Sanitary Commission, and the Surgeon Cen
eral says that from observation at home and
abroad, he is satisfied that "never before were
the sick and wounded of any army so well
cared for as are those who have suffered for
their country in the present rebellion.
An increase of the medical corps, both reg
ular and volunteer, is recommended.
Among other recommendations are the fol-
lowing:
The report recommends that the service age
of recruits be fixed at twenty years.
A new regulation for matrons to do the
washing in hospitals.
An army medical school attached TO some
leading hospital.
An increase in the number of medical store
keepers.
The charging of the medical department
with the planning and erecting OF medical
buildings.
Independent transportation for the medical
department.
A change in the method of carrying the
cartridge box.
The establishment of a permanent home for
those who have been disabled in the service
OF the country.

deem the Bangor script, ,cas-dn employee of
that respectable firn,'' and the ,e,se is now
perfectly apparent-being nothing short of an
attempt, by offering to redeem Bangor trash"
in Portland, and publishing the fact, to 'beget
the impression that their own shinplasters are
current at distance from home. We may add
that the agent referred to did not propose to
redeem at par, but distinctly avowed specula-
ton as his object, saying he had an opportuni-
ty to use the checks to advantage, if he could
purchase them at discount 1t may be con-
venient for gentlemen to effect a large number
of small involuntary loans upon the public,
for which no interest is paid, and if the public
wish to encourage such "sharp practice" we
shall offer no objections, but we prefer keeping
our own wares TO exchanging them for cur
rency that will neitherpa debts nor command
the "stafr of life.' We did not when called
upon, have large amount of Bangor script,
but we have at least dozen checks, varying
in amount from four cents to twenty-five, re-
deemable at several different localities distant
from Portland and if such "trash" is not n
nuisance we should like TO know what is. 1t
is amusing however, to find the organs of
metallic currency democracy, and the denoun-
GERS of ''irredeemable paper" virtually advo-
eating flood of shinpasters-worse than a
Western wild cat currency.

Getting below the strange reasoning and the

bewildering; but there is firm ground, when
yon reach it. We have room only for the fol-

treme and assumes an unreal identity:
They are two halves of one whole. Each is
the perfect complement of the other.
Neither is superior 10 the other in any respect.
The distinction between them is that of quqL-

The proclamation against Gen. Butler and
his officers is of piece with the previous pol
icy of the President of the Southern Conspira-
cy. Once and again already had the same ru;-
fanly, cowardly threats been aimed at our
Generals, and the new demonstration has taken
nobody by surprise. Charges of inhumanity
and of disregard for the usages Of civilized war
fare cannot lie against the Government or the
army of the UnitedStates. The error, if any,
{ has been Of a quite opposite character-though
God forbid that we should carp at the ior-
bearance, which more than any other quality
marks moral and material strength. DIR. Rus
sell, with most honor ablee quanimity, though
fattered at the South and curtly dismissed at
the North, has come forward publicly to deny
these allegations of nhumanity on the part of
Northern commanders. The world is easily
deceived, but this slander is too preposterous
for belief.
But grant what every fair mind knows or
may know to be untrue-that Generals Pope,
Mcneil and Butler have been guilty of the
outrages charged in these rantipoe proclama-
tions, and what follows? This: Mr.. Davis, in
the true spirit of Southern institutions and
manners, proposes to put down violence by
lynch-law, that is by more violence. The
world will not sustain him; he.powerful Gov
ernment Of this nation, with name and fame
to keep untarnished, will not descend to shame
full reprsals or the impudent order demand
ing the surrender of Gen. Mcneil as an alter
native to the execution of ten United States
officers, the London News says, assuming
Gen. McNeis guilt
!. We are told that it is natural that Mr.. Davis
should issue such an order. II is the assump-
Government neither wiser nor better than the
man whose acts they justly stigmatize; but not 9TH
erwse. We oJserre irifhoat surprise that srriters
uho foremost in deRouRcing the horrors Qf this
soar hace not cord 20 against This sang,nary
order.
Against it. On this side the Atlantic they
are not merely silent. Here they dare to
raise their voices openly in defense of a proc
lamation which is false in its premises, and un-
justifable In its conclusions even if the pre-
misses we're true, and prate of its "provocations
and Justification" and of its influence for good
or for eyil,' as if there were any alternative,
and as if the document and its author, and
his abettors North and South were not evil
only and that continually. 1t is long since
any state paper from Washington has been
welcomed in language 50 warm as that which
we copy from yesterdays Advertiser:
The proclamation of Jefferson Davis, which we
publish in full this morning, will constitute one nf
the great pages ysor " eCH IN the history
of the rebellion AS such, place it record II is
not an aaarftuni measure, nor strange doctrine
for the Confederate Government TO put forth II
claims TO be judged of God and history, upon its
prorocafioa and Justification.
Win the reader look once more at the words
we have talicised in this remarkable passage?
It is thus that the Advertiser begins the new
year.

The Emancipation Proclamation.

We publish this morning the Emancipation
Proclamation of President Lincoln, which
three months ago, he promised, under an ex-
listing state of things. he would issue on the 1st
of January.
1t will be noticed that the document is flat
footed upon the point, and declares all slaves
In rebelious States, and portions of States, to
be hereafter free. There is no wavering upon
the matter; it is full and comprehensive, and
1t will be hailed with delight by millions.
Great efforts have been made to induce the
President to suspend issuing this important
document, but they have proved futile. He
has been infexible, and he will be sustained
by al! the good and loyal men in the Union
for this act of justice, not only to the slaves,
but also TO all the loyal States.

SECESSION REBUKED.-Mr. Spence, the
gentleman who has been so highly pulled up
by the London Times, and who has been con-
sidered as the organ of the English secession
lists, has met with final and decided defeat in
his recent attempt to bully the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce. After several ad-
journed discussions on the subject of Mr.
Cobden's recent proposal respecting CONNER
cial blockades, the capture of private property
at sea, &c, that body has determined to sup
port Mr.. Cobden's views, and voted down the
amendment of Mr.. Spence by majority of
nineteen-forty to twenty-one votes.
