from the tongues of certain Abolitionists in this
immediate neighborhood. When Milroy's men
came here, it was deliberately determined bv
these mscreants that our office should be DESTROY
ed, and to this end they strove, by every arnr,-
ment In their power, to incte the soldiers to Vi
olence In this they failed most signally, as
they found more good, sound, Constitution-lov-
ing, law-abding Democrats among the gallant
Union volunteers than they had dreamed of;
but ever since their failure to disturb the peace
through the instrumentality of the soldiers their
anger and bitterness have increased tenfold and
now the very sight of the Gazette causes them
to rave and foam at the mouth, as if possessed
with some uncean spirit which cannot brook
the pure principles of Democracy The fantas.

DO not disturb us in the least, and no matter
how much the miserable creatures may storm
and rave, we intend to pursue the seven tenor

all their curses. Our only alarm is for their
safety. We don't want the Gazette to kill them.
That would be shocking Their only hope is
to "keep cool" if that be possible in the dog
days, with persons laboring under attacks of
nesro-on-the-brain. Wewould also recommend
heavy doses of Sensation Pills, manufactured to
order by the doctors Of the N. Y. Tribune and

OF the poor fellows If this dose prove little
heavy for their organs of deglutition, let them
wash 1t down with the "tremondous rise in the
Fotomae," which is bound to cause, by drown

invader. But all this medicine will be Of no
avail, unless they ''kcep cool" Overheated zcal
is certain death to persons afflicted with their
malady. Now, there are several ways of ''kecp-

pockets, and this method would. doubtless nrove
successful in their cases. as the refrigcrating SUBJ
stance would thus be placed in close proximity
to their brains. A better way would be to sleep

power will be broken. Negropboba will cease
