FROM the Knoxville Register,
Gen. Pillow and Necessity for tn. kxtens,ou nj
the CoDscript act.
Gen. Pillow has thoroughly tested the virtues OF the
Conscript Act. Wherever he las been we fad evi

beyond all precedent Several months ag1 when b.,

agency of those whom he offended by the impartial and
vigorous enforcement OF the law. He is no respecor OF

ed to cal! upon the General and invite him to dine was
politely informed
"4ou must pardon me- my dear sir, but | tLiuk you
6elong to me- We shall probably dine often together
as"
And when were you ?"
The answer satisfied the General that the polite ys
tor was just within the limits of the ages prescribed and
&c was sent to the camp of instruction.
Such men this, some four or five mouths ago,
raised such cam0r at Richmond about Gen. Pillows
ferccy IN the enforcement Of the law, that the Gov
eminent ordered suspension OF bis operations The
result was that Braggs army slowly melted away while
no recruits were seat forward The charges preferred

Other men may find substitutes, but there be

lie fault of the prescription act consists not in its
terms and provisions, but in the whose duty it has
been TO enforce it.

Gideon J. Pillow managed and directed and enforced
the provisions of the amended enactment. The law
now upon the statute books would furnish million
men if it enforced and Pillow will execute it in
the Southwest

A Ready and Sure Cure for Dysen
terry or Flux.
From the s,eubenvllle Herald. J

have for some time past thought Of
sending to the Herald a recipe for the cure
of dysentcry or fux, but have omitted 1t 10
tho present time, which If attended to. and
applied in time, may be the means OF saw
ing many valuable lives, and prevent vast
amount Of suffering, both i'm and out OF the
army. where dysentery go much prevails,
and the remedy always within reach.
Receipe. 60 to the common or sweet
gum tree and peel off handful of the in
ner bark, boil it until tho extract has the
appearance of we'll made coffee, sweeten to
taste, and let the patient drink plentitully
of it, several times in the day, aud tho cure
is performed.
To have this remedy always on hand for
the cure Of dysoDtory complaint so com.
mon among the soldiers, in every branch OF
our army and for the use of persons resid.
ing in cities, towns and villages. the gum
bark should be gathered in quantities, for
the use OF our soldiers in the army, dried
aud pulverized, and put away in air-tight
jnrs, las we used to have the prepared pc
ruvian bark put up aud then this best ol
remedies for dysentery or Aux. would be al
ways on hand ready for use. And yet an
other, and full as good remedy or cure 10,
dysentery, or fux, but one that cannot il
all cases, be as readily obtained as the gum

A Mystery Cleared UP.

During the last campaign, stranger who
sojourned at the Phillips House, appeared
desirous to address one Of our Union meet
ings. We think he was here on the first OF
October. He addressed himself to Mr..
Gunckle, but desired to remain mcognito.
He appeared to be Southern man, but
gave no references, and he received no invi
tation to speak The gentleman disappear
ed, and his name or home were not ascer-
tanned. Yesterday we received letter from
Capt. john Birch, 22d 0. V. l., dated
Little Rock, Ark, October 10th, accompa-
MED by printed copy Of an address by
Hon. L. Il. CAN'T to the people of Arkan-
sas. Captain Birch explains that Mr.. CAN'T
was in the rebel service two years, and wa
twice captured and parolled, hut finally saw
the error Of his ways, deserted the enemy
and is urging the people Of Arkansas to re
turn to their allegiance. We quote fr0u
Captain Birchs letter, viz:
MIR. CAN'T told "told me that on his las
trip North. he got permission to stop owe
night at Dayton. While he was at th'
Phillips House, Tho was then = parolle'
rebel prisoner,) quite number Of Copper
heads called on him to extend tn
hand Of friendship, and manifest thei
friendship, and manifest their sympathy to
their 'downtrodden brothers of the South.
They assured him that thousands would b
glad of the opportunity to shake hands wit
them, and express their sympathy fol tn
Southern cause. He replied that he wan,
cd none OF their sympathy, and told theI
he would have nothing to do with then
for il II had not been for them, peace migf
have been restored months ago."
We are satisfied that the gentleman VII
