has not only originated two remedies
which are direct antidotes to the virus of
disease, but he has disseminated them
over the whole earth. Since their intro

ago, more cases of dyspepsia, fever and
ague, liver complaint, and ulcerous and
eruptive disorders have been cured by
their use, than by all other remedies
combined. Professor Holloway offers

A SerinuS Case
The indianapolis Journal of Saturday
has the following:

The indianapolis Journal of Saturday
has the following:
John 0. Brown of Shelby county. a
private in the Third Cavalry regiment,
has for some days past been on trial be-
fore court martial in this city for in
Producing among the soldiers in camp
here secret society, the object of which
is to encourage desertion, and destroy
the army. He plead guilty" to every
charge but one, and that was proved be-
yond all doubt, though the important
charges were those he confessed to be
true. The penalty of his offence is
death, and it is probable that this is the
sentence of the court, but it is not vet
known. Here is a terrible, fatal proof
OF the existence of the reasonable soci-
ETY. against which we have so often
warned the people. The accused con-
.tesses With the awful penalty of his
crime before him he pleads guilty and
acknowledges the existence of the soci-
ETY., its reasonable purposes, and his
participation in it And he may have
to suffer the full weight of the law he
has outraged
But who shall say that he is more
guilty than the Infamous politicians who
have instigated him, and others like him,
to disseminate this abominable conspi-
racy among unsuspecting soldiers2 Who
will not say that the punishment should
fall upon them rather than upon those
who have been made their victims? Sol
diers will yet find how terribly they have
been wronged by these doubie-dyed
scoundrels, and they may take the pun
ishment into their own hands. If Brown
dies, his blood will be on the heads of the
men-and we can name them-wbo en-
couranged him, prompted him, and gave
HIM the means to carry on his dangerous
work. They will be murderers, and
fouler, blacker murder can never he
committed than is that which urges I'M
suspecting soldiers to the commission of
a deadly crime to carry out some infa.
nous political scheme.

There are innumerable roads to that
grand terminus, the grave. More than
fifty diseases may be classed as fatal,
under improper or inefficient treatment;
and when we consider the immense hocks
of raw medical fedglings that annually
take wing from the collegiate nests, it
must be allowed that the sick, tending
toward their " long home" need never
lack professional aid to boost them
along. Knowing something of the hab-
its of large class of medical students,
and how much they prefer " seeing life "
to investigating the phenomena of dis
ease and death, we do not place much

Gen. Rosecrans in bangor.

The news of the arrival of Gen. Long
street at Chattanooga with thirteen rebel
brigades from Lees army of the Poto-
mac is calculated to arouse apprehen-
sions for the safety Of the Army of the
Cumberland Were its leader any other
than William S. Rosecrans, the danger
might justly. be considered appalling.
That these rebel re-enforcements have
really arrived is evident from other
statements than that which appears in
our telegraph column this morning. In
the Petersburg Express of January Sth
we find the following paragraph:
General Bragg left Murfreesboro be-
cause the whole country had been ex-
hausted of everything that could con-
tribute to the support of man and beast.

defense than almost any other locality
in Middle Tennessee. Our army is in
excellent spirits, heary requirements
another blow much sooner than is an
ticipated"
Notwithstanding these glaring facts
we are telegraphed every day from the
Potomac Army that although the rebels
have withdrawn from our immediate
front, there is no evidence that any re-
endorsements have been sent to Bragg
Longstreets corps is composed of the
very flower of the rebel army. They are
invariably spoken of as " Longstreets
veterans" Thirteen brigades with
proper proportion of artillery must mum,
Der at least $4,000 men, and when such
force is added to the large army al
ready under Bragg, it must be evident
to all that Rosecrans will be outnumber-
ed and will be compelled to assume the
defensive
But our army is composed of brave
men. Most of the regiments have pass
ed through the storm of battle and are
seasoned. They have unlimited COL
fidenee in their leader and when Gener-
al Longstreet sees proper to make an at
tack, we doubt not he will find his adver-
sary fully prepared for him. The rebels,
to derive any benefit from their re-en-
forcements, must attack at once before
Gen. Rosecrans is also strengthened
and this will enable the latter to fight on
ground of his own selection, which to
him will be worth all of 10000 men.

man and will be found ennal-te--~------

put at hard work Capt. Gramm and Lit.
Wade, who are to remain at hard work
as hostages for Capt. Duskey and Lieut.

says, are confined in the penitentiary at

toned.
Letcher says he rejoices that these
captures were made by General Floyd,
because they furnish him the opportunity
to demonstrate that Virginia is a sove-
reign State, with the power and will to
defend officers holding her commissions.
This is equivalent to saying that our Off
GERS are to be handed over to the tender
mercies of every drunken loafer who
happens to be Governor of rebel State,
to be dealt with as they see proper. We
were under the impression that the Con-
federate Congress regulated the treat
ment and disposition of prisoners, but it
seems in this we were mistaken.
