THE SLAVES OF PgEJUDIcE-D ,atA RoDbed Of His
Ffy.-l here are queor people in ne world; people
Wilh the most absurd, unreasonable and iudeensi-
PIE preJudIces. For example, we have met with ill.,
dIVlduals who had morbid antipathy to ANYTHING
That WAS extensively advertised, no. matter what
might be its actual claims to the confidence of the
pubic. These eccentrics looked with especial disfa-
Vot On advertised medicines. They could not see for
example III DR.. HOiloway's magnificent sS stem Of
advertising covering it does, all the mediums of
publicity which the world affords, anything but
gigantic scheme of mcie speculation. True they
could not gainsay the testimony pouring in Spouta-
neously from the highest sources, in favor OF lis in
comparable pills ana ointment but still they shook
their heads aud said 'humbug." vi course there is
no possibility OF arguing with men who viii not
reason Ile best way is 10 let them alohc. Forltl-
nately, such specimens OF stupidity are few and
lar between" in THIS enlightened eta. The genera
1eellng is, that if thing is in itself excellent its
virtues should be proclaimed to the iour winds of
heaven, for the general benefit of mankind. Hence
the presentations made by Dir. holloway, through
the entire newspaper press Of the void, of the
properties and operation of his rene dies NESTS with
the cordial approval of thinking ineu. The value
OF the preparations as specifics for the various inter
maj ana external complaints peculiar TO different

coded, not only by the masses, but by governments
men OF science, and candid observers in every walk
OF life. Can such remedies be too widely known?

From the Manchester Eng Guardian
Should any irritation be LETT in the minds of
Americans OF the south by the circumstances
OF Mr.. Masons departure, we may ask them
to let their enemies be witnesses to the made
quacy of the cause. The full measure of the
impartiality which we have exercised towards
them cannot be better proved than by the Bit
ter resentment which it has kindled in the
breasts Of the federal politicians We receive
by the last steamer from New York the report
OF speech recently delivered by person of
great consideration in the councils of the
present government of Washington, who
maintains that the favor already given to the
contederacy by England deserves the execra-
ton OF humanity, and supplies, if necessary,
abundant cause for war. The speaker to
whom we aIlude is Mr.. Charles Sumner. the
president Of the committee of the senate on
foreign affairs. He denounced, we are told
as ga betrayal of civilization" England's re-
cognltion OF the confederate states as bellig-
erents, and her proclamation of neutrality.
The absurd injustice of this olten-repeated
complaint is sufficiently shown by the
simple observation, that, III recognizing
the belligerent rights OF the south, we
did exactly what the federal govern
ment itself did and has continued to do from
the commencement OF the war. We did
moreover, what no power could have avoided
without absolutely intending to take a direct
part in the subjugation of the seeding states.
But Mr. Sumner correctly appreciates the
consequences OF this course as adopted by
our ourselves and France, in perceiving that
1t insured 10 the south the free exercise of all
the power Of making war from its own re-
sources which an independent state cond
possess. 1t may fairly be asked of southern
advocates that they should realize the value of
this admission emanating from such quarter,
and endeavOr to estimate the difficulties in
which we are placed, when our simplest acts
OF fairness towards themselves expose us to
being thus bitterly assMled by their adyersa-
rles For our own part, we can only endeav-
or to steer clear between both parties, and
console ourselves by a sense of justice for
the too natural misfortune, that neither ap-

Dissatisfaction with the Armstrong Gun.

Wy, lis sole point OF dependence in event of
h0stIlttieS breaking out is the ried breech-
loader, which, with such implicit confidence
and at such enormous cost, has been issued
as our recognized heavy ordnance arm. The
faIntest whisper, then, OF an alarm that a
thorough reconstruction will he almost abso-

the ''boldest mold his breath tor awhile"
w hen the truth comes to be generally known
that, for all practical purposes, little or no

INTERESTING REVOLUTIONARY DOCUMENTS.

LADY REBELS IN PoLAND.-The Polish in

Polish ladies. They chiefly aid it in the Sc
cret retreats of the domestic hearth and the
hospitals. They stimulate the courage Of the
men in the bosom Of their families they excite
the martial ardor OF sons, husbands and low
ers; they pass sleepless nights by the pillows
OF the agonized and dying, OF whom they have
no other knowledge than that Of the wounds
which they received in the sacred cause of
the country. All the combined resources of
their combined seductivenesS, of their persist

and self abnegation. They spend long hours

of persecution, or struck down in battle, the
Polish women are the first to afford consola-

Their prompt and daring intelligence, joined
to great natural tact makes them powerful
auxiliaries of the instruction. We can pos

mr. Greec,s Letter.

We inv;to the attention of our readers TO the
eucr OF Mr. GaEGG, though We do not assent
to all Of his propositions; we object particularly
h. his suggestion Of ga forced lonn." A forced
lean, while it appears TO act mpartislly upon the
entire community is, in point of fact, partial and
spjust in its operation ; and this for the obvious
reason that, while it i. accommodation to Y
rich nan to borrow bis money upon good security,
nay be great hardship for poor man, who
needs every dvl,Gr for immediate use, to have .
loan forced from him.
But since it s easier 10 raise objections than to
suggest remedies, ne will briefly ,tstO our own
views on this perple4ing subject. Mr.. MIxlNcEa
tells US tiias thoro are now in circulation sono
$50 millans of Treasury notes, and that 15o mil
Ksns are sufficient for our business transactions
perhaps lG0 0r.llions would do quite as well. There
a.s thcu 55o..milliep dollars that the Government
de.iyee TO fund-to withdraw from circulation.
H,w eae this be dano' The,Confederase Govern
.neut Las already ofTe.od S per cont bonds for
those T.ossurg notes. but the holders Of the notes
would not purchase the bo1ds. They might be
induced h.wever 10 invest in State Bonds, fer the
nstss Of the StA.e Banks commanding high
prcrium. Would it not then he wise for the sew
cTal atates Of tho Conf.aeracy to put their Bonds
Ia market for $50 millions, and sell them for
Trocsury notoa at par each State s'uing its Bonds
in proportion 70 its population and wealth? Let
theso Bonds alse be exanptad from taxation, spd
10, them be kept in market until they oil sold
--or peace is declared.
AZ tho Same tme lot Congross lay a tax Of 80 l-3
per ccut upon tho surplus so millions Of Treasu-
- Noes. oxempting from the tax The 100 hundred
millions reserved for circulation. One advantage
Of this plan Is obvious; the tax here would fall
upon rsonied men-upon those who arc staying at
homo pnd using Treasury notes in speculation.
Why did the holders Of Treasury notes refuse in
April 1863 to inye+t. in Confederate Bond, at s
per cent? Because simply they could mako more
than per cent by holding these notes and tpecu-
is.;ng IN the neoessaries of liie-and grinding the
feces ef the poor.
A tax Of sss PR cent upon these Notes would
fail principally upon that class of Soeiety-men
who have created our prsSeps diiheultie,-and
yho in Justice should be made to feel the burden
OF tails war. in any event, this tax would an
swer valuable end. Either the holders OF those
Noses would invest thsn: in State Bonds, or they
w-uld not II they did, then the object of the
eovsrnaort would be accomplished but if the
holders should End that they could make more
thsn ss3 FER cent by 'pcculatins. and refuse to
iayes. in Bonds, why then the tax would yie
the Goyernment llS million dollars income. Eut
w are persuaded that such u tax would soon W tn
draw so millions of Treasury notes from eiecu-
lotioa
