Remedr for nlplI,erin.

A Pennsylvania nA--veponoent writes
US InaJ diptheria is very prevalent in some
parts Of that State, and says that we would
confer a great favor upon the sufferers by
republishing the remedy given about a
year ago. With this request we comply.
It is as follows:
Make two small bags that will reach
from ear to ear, and FILL them with ashes
and salt; dip them in hot water, and
wiring them out SO they will not drip, and
apply them TO the throat; cover up the
whole with a flannel cloth, and change
them as often as they become cool, until
the throat becomes irritated, near blister
ing.
"For children, it is necessary to put
flannel cloths between the ashes and the
throat to prevent blistering. When the
ashes have been on sufficient time, take
a wet flannel cloth and rub it with CASTLE
soap until it is covered with thick lather;
dip it in hot water, and apply it to the
throat, and change as they cool; at the
same time use gargle made Of one tea
spoonful of cayenne pepper, one Of salt
one Of mOlasses, in 6 teacupful Of hot wa
ter, and when cool, add one-fourth as much
cider vinegar, and gargle every fifteen
minutes, until the patient requires sleep
A gargle made of CASTLE soap is good TO bC
used part Of the time"
A correspondent in Maine, in sending
the above remedy, says there had been {
number of dea,hs from diptheria, unit
this remedy was used, since when all has
reooyered.-N 7. Tribune.

BlIly wlI.on.. "Pel Lamb..,,

A Baton Rouge correspondent Of the
Boston Traveller says The regiment Of
UncontroIlables" under the command of
Col Billy Wilson, reached Baton Rouge
on Saturday morning, the 10th December.
Their passage up the river was a fearful
one, being panorama Of dangers and diff
fculties. As the steamer Laurel Hill, one
Of the river boats, which was chartered to
convey them, was on the way up, the cap
tain was waited upon by a muscular and
pugilistic-looking crowd, who ordered him
to stop his steamer and allow them to go
on shore. Knowing the customers he was
dealing with, he complied with their out
rageous demands; in FIVE minutes fourteen
Of them were in a small boat, tumbling
about until their gyrstions ended in the
eapsizing of the craft and the precipita-
tion of the rowdy crowd into the river.
All being good swimmers, they succeeded
in reaching the shore in safety.
Upon landing they rushed to one of the
farm houses and assaulted an old lady,
stealing money from her, and then seizing
barrel Of Louisiana whisky they rolled
it down the bank to the boat, where it was
taken on board with cheers, and its pois-
onous contents were soon drained by the
soldiers. One Of the sergeants was shot
dead by his captain for attempting to re-
sist his authority. His name was Andy
Aikens, of New York notoriety. Several
rows occurred on the trip on board of the
Laurel Hill, and two or three Of the men
were bayoneted in the melee.

The pefense. of Mobile.

Information from Mobile to the 31st
ult gives the following report of the de-
fenses Of the city and harbor;
General Simon Buckner is in charge of
the troops and Notifications, and is at
work preparing for an assault. Only
10000 troops are in Mobile proper, though
it was understood others were in easy
supporting distance.
Commodore Ed. Randolph is in COM
mand of the rebel feet Of four wooden gun
boats and an iron-clad ram in the harbor.
The gunboats lie above the confidence Of
the Alabama River and thechannel used to
reach the city in periods Of low water.
Fort Gaines, on the west side Of the en-
trance Of the harbor, mounts four heavy
guns, and contains just seven hundred
men. Fort Morgan, on the east side of the
harbor entrance, mounts eight guns and
contains fifteen hundred men. A heavy
battery, cssemated, has been placed on
the southwestern corner Of Pinto's Point,
and consists of four Dahlgren guns, and
riAed cannon and thirty-two Founders.
The ground at Pinto Point is generally
swampy, but the rebels have piled it and

stone is anchored, ready to be swung

cbnnre in the Form of Iror-CInd.,

Instructions have been sent from the
Navy Department to the different con-
tractors building the last batch Of iron
clad vessels, to make considerable change
in the plan Of their construction. They
were to be longer than the nine batteries
Of the Monitor type, and to draw very lit
tie water. Now, however, they are to be
made more formidable, and will be of
deeper draught than was at first intended.
There are other deviations from the origi-
nal plan to be carried out which it is not
expedient to print. These craft are all in
a forward condition, and one or two of
them viii be launched in few weeks in
this neighborhood. They are 1,034 tons
burthen, will have only one turret, in
which two guns viii be mounted. The
names Of this class Of iron-clads are ss
folloue.

Whnt &c ,snr has Done.

The progress Of freedom, through the
instrumentality Of the war which was en-
tered upon to perpetuate oppression, has
been most wonderful As the Toronto
Globe says, Two years ago, did any one
dream that on the first day Of the present
month of January, slavery in the District
Of Columbia would be beabolished, an eman-
cipation Legislature elected in Missouri,
Maryland, Tennessee and Kentucky start
ed on the same road, with an offer from
the Federal Government to pay for the
slaves in these States set free, and, more
than all, emancipation proclaimed by the
President Of the United States IN the re-

Condition OF the Army OF the Potomac.
A recent letter in the New York Times
from the Army Of the Potomac, gave a
most diseouraging report Of the condition
Of that army, and of the Generalization of
the men. Certain papers caught up the
evidence Of dissatisfaction and spread the
dismal tale, SO that the opinion is general
ly circulated that that once powerful army
is powerful no more. That there was some
foundation for this statement, there is no
doubt, but other writers from the same To-
eality, contradict the Times correspOn-
dence most emphatically. The oOrrespOn-
dence Of the Tribune says that an extended
observation has produced the conviction
that the discomfort if it does exist, is not
Of kind to produce serious apprehension,
and that visit from the paymaster would
dispel it. There has certainly been cause
for complaint in the delay in the payment
of troops, but this evil is being rapidly
remsdied since the passage of the $780,
900. 900 bin.

BUFnside's Repsrt---The Facts in the Case
The monstrOus lie, that Gen. Burnside
report assuming entire responsibility fol
the movement upon and the disaster al
Fredericksburg was extorted from him By
threats Of dismissal, has recently been re.
vived by a writer for the New York
Times, in Yi1lainoas letter which ought
to have consigned its writer to Fort Lafay-
cite. Alludiug to this letter the Wash
ington Chronicle says;
The facts in regard to this report Of Gen.
Burnside, are simply these.
A few days after the battle at Fred
ericksburg, Gen. Burnside requested, by
Telegraph, permission from the President
to visit Washington, which was at once
granted. BE arrived here late at night
and made known his wishes. He said he
had noticed some ill-advised attempts to
use the affair on the Rappahannock as cap
ital against the Government; that he could
not, consistently with his own sense of
honor. suffer this attempt to succeed; that
he appreciated fully the great exertions
the Administration had made to insure
the success Of his Army in its movement
upon the enemy, and the freedom they had
generously allowed him in the formation
and execution Of his plans. He then re-
quested permission to send from his head
quarters dispatch to the Associated Press,
substantially the same as his official re-
port to General Halleck.
This permission was not Immediately

practice of the President and the Secreta-
~ of War to allow errors and slanders to
be corrected as they arise, by free discus
sion and investigation, instead of giving
official denials to the brood Of falsehoods
born ofignorsnce and malice. The re-
port of General Burnside was at last pub
ished in Difference to his own repeated
and earnest request.

MORNING LEADER.
MONDAY MORNING, Jan. %, 1868
The. Movement upon the Rappasannock--
Bnrnslde,s Plan--The Preliminnriee.

The Movements Hpon the Rappahaunock-.
Burnside's PiGn--The Preiiminnries.
By the correspondence from the Army
Of the Potomac up to Tuesday night, we
learn Of the details of the plan of General
Burnside for this second attempt across
the Rappahsnnoek, and Of the prepara-
tons making to ensure success. The
movement was ordered to commence Sun
day morning. It was postponed for some
reason, until Monday, and was again post
pOnea to Tuesday, when at niEe A. n, Cen
eral Frsnklin's division commenced NOV
ing from its position, five miles below Fall
mouth, towards Burnsides headquarters.
At eleven \. X, Hooker, who was farther
up the river, commenced moving still far
ther up, preceding Franklin. Roads so
far back from the river as to be sheltered
from observation by the enemy, were used
in the advance The troops were in good
spirits and ready to meet the enemy. The
preparations for the movement were most
careful and thorough. Roads had been con-
strueted in dozen different places to the
river, to confuse the enemy as to the actual
point Of crossing. On Tuesday night,
when the bulk Of ofBurnside's army was at
the ford six miles above Falmouth, the en-
emy was known to be dOis the river, e1-
pecsing q crossing below Falmouth. Had
the pOntOOns been ready for crossing that
night or early on the morning of Wednes-
dag, It would have been an easy matter to
cross and flank the force at Fredsricks-
burg. But as usual the pontoons were
late. The heavy rains made the roads al
most impossible, and prevented the NOV
ing Of trains and heavy ordnance. And
50 the enemy was not surprised, the cross
ing was not made, and the victory was not
won. During four weeks Of good weather
nothing has been done the first heavy
rain prevents anything from being accom-
plished. It's repetition Of the old expert
ences Of the Army Of the Potomac. Heaven
grant that it may some tine accomplish
sometbiug.

A Woman Wearing Cavalry Boo.s,

One Of the Secesh women lately sent
South by the government had seven pairs
Of CATERS, Eve pairs of boots, five pairs of
morocco slippers, three pairs Of dancing
slippers of white kid, four pairs Of India
rubber overshOes, and one pair Of the long
est-legged cavalry boots, with double soles,
studded with good spikes, heels tipped with
jackass shoes Of iron, and tops splendidly
ornsmented with an abundance OF patch
work Of wazed ends on groundwork of
patent leather. She became very indig-
nsnt at the cutting into her stock of shoe
leather, and asserted that, as she wore out
two pairs per month, she was going South
with the prospect Of being bare-footed be-
fore she reached there. "How about these,
madam p said the officer as be politely
insinuated the cavalry boots into her as
tonished gaze; "if you will put them on
and wear them on your trip to Richmond,
you can take them; but they can 20 with
you under no other circumstances.'-
Done; I'll do it" said the heroine, and
grasping the heavy leather in her hands,
she retired behind the friendly crinollne
of a group Of sympathizers, and planting
her pretty feet-gsiters and all-into the
depths Of that monster fOOt-harness, she
returned aud aWkwardly displayed them,

packed. The simple recital of such names
as Hunter, Hitchcock, Casey, Ricketts, and
others, sll men ofhigh character and long

court, is sufficient to show abundantly of
the justice Of the sentence, which having
