tErom the New Haven Journal
Of Was at osoa and at Aee
the Guinea coast, whittier he had sailed as
uia1e, with Captain Post, In the baruue EIiza-
beth, and While there he drank Of the water Of
that part Of the world, without thinking to
take the precautions commonly in use among
the uatiyes for the prevention of terrible
disease known as the Guinea worm. It ap-
pears that the Africans always boil this water
before drinking, In order to destroy the mi
mute, invisible egg Of the worm, which is SO
small that 1t is absorbed by the blood vessels
from the stomach, and Is In that manner dis
tribated IN different parts Of the body, usual
long time 1t makes its sappearancein the shape
OF White, thread-like worm, pointed on both
ends, and 1t tWines and twists all about the
muscles, veins and arteries, and producing
70 particular feeling Of uneasiness until some
Eort Of Its body comes near the skin, when
Pug tniiamntion takes place. 1twas IN March
last that Mr. Monroe began to be troubled
With them, and for three months he has not
wnlked step. He Is now in the Connecti-
cut State Hospital, under treatment, and one
wcrm has been taken from the bottom Of his
foot that measured over two feet long. The
Way "a t Is done Is this When the suFfacc Of
the kkin Is SO pricked or irritated as to show
where the critter Is. thread Is fastened to
lin, snd small weight attached to the other
end OF the thzead. The worm geta fired of
I9lllng 80 steady strain, and gives ground .
fT1he day By day, and as he comes out little
spool winds him up until he is all out, The
PAIN Is very great. For forty nights Mr.. Mon
roe m hardly slept on account Of the suffering.
Une worm Is now in process Of being drawn
from MS nee1, and those medical men who
nave never seen case OF the kind are much
interested. Great care has to be taken not to
pull too hare, because the worm would break,
und the trouble be much prolonged 1ts med
ienl name Is Droeanac4slus, and 1t grows to be
several feet in length. T Is endemic in hot
appears under the skin like varicose vein,
and after painful boil has been formed and
broken, the head Of the animal is discovered.
Mr Monroe Is very patient under this strange
af1ilction, and We hope before long to see him
restored TO health.

SPEECH.
It Las been Copperhead boast that In
the city Of New York they enjoyed unlim-
1ted freedom Of speech and Of the press,
and that they could in that city speak,
write, or print against the Government
whatever they pleased, and the despots at
Washington dare not crook q finger at
them.
We sec the consequences Of this un-
bridled license, in the horrible riots that
surged through the streets Of New York,
in the arsons, 1,illage and murders com
United. The "free specch'' was used by
the Coppcrhead denagogucs to lash into
frenzy the rabble Of the city, with the idea
that they were about being dragged unlaw-
fully and unconstitutionally into the field
to fight against their "dear Southern breth-
cru," and to be killed for the benefit Of the
s'nigggers." The Worll, Ezpress, journal Of
Gommerce, and Netos rung ten thousand
changes upon this atrocious falsehood.
While the Woods and Brooks and Sey-
mours pounded it into the heads Of their
followers from every rostrum. Is it any
wonder That bloody riots followed such
Tree preachingf It is matter Of aston
lshment that tie Corperhead mob was
checked before the city was soaked in
blood-stained ashes" Had those treason
able sheets been suppressed and the ring
leaders arrested few months ago, no out
brehk would have occurred; five hundred
lives lost would have been spared; mil
lion Of property would: have escaped de-
struction, and the deep disgrace would not
have fallen on the great city of the CONT
ncnt- These are the fruits Of Coppcrhead

That the escape Of the rebel army at Will
Transport was great calamity will not be
denied by any loyal sentient being. It pro-
longs the war in Virginia indefinitely, en-
Tails upon the country an expense Of hun
1reds Of millions Of dollars, and renders
necessary vast increase in the numerical
Strength Of our armies in the East. It can
be distinguished from the events succeed
ing the battle Of Artietam only by the fact
That Meade had a purpose to follow up his
advantages, while Mcclellan had no such
purpose, and the distinction is valuable on
ly asst gives promise Of future enterprise
in the commander of the army of the poto-
mac, guided by the useful lesson which has
just been taught him,
In estimating the degree Of responsible
ity which attaches to Gen. Meade in allow
ing his defeated enemy to cross swollen
river, almost within cannon shot Of his
tent, the public should not lose sight Of
a few facts which have been obscurcd by
the whirl Of events. It was well known in
pur army that Gen. Lees forces were not
dcmoralized by their defeat at Gettysburg.
Veteran soldiers are not demoral1ed by
such tritles, If it were possible to disheart-
IN and dismember such an. army By any
prowess short Of capturing it, our own ar
my OF the Potomac would have become
useless mob long ago. The TITO armies
which met at Gettysburg were about equal.
Our losses in the fight were never more
Than made good by relnforcements before
We reached Hagerstown. The rebel losses
were augmented by the activity and cour-
age ofour cavalry. Still, Gen. Lee could
count upon full sixty thousand men, always
intrepid, and now rendered desperate by
mar eneal aituahon-a force highly respectable
IN me eyes Of every common-sense General
N our army. Gen. Meade's strength was
being increased almost every hour. and
day or two would put him iu pos.esa;on ~
numbers which would bid fair to make A.
E end Of the war then and there. A part of

CHICAGO, July %, 1868.


F''tors Chicago Tribune:
The telegraphfc dispatch Of your Madison
correspondent, announcing in this morning.
1RIDUSE the death ut Lclyenworth, Kansas,
Of Capt. n. L. stout, of the Sd Wisconsin
cavalry, reminds me that the memory Of a man
01 bis talents and ability should not be SO
sunmarily dealt with. He was long. connect
I'd with the press Of the West, and has left
bis mark as vigorous writeran an independ-
ent thinker.
Captain Stout was born In New York. He
LEFT home when quite young, and learned ear
!, to rely upon his OWN exettions He ct one
time resided in Lognnsport, Ind; afterwards
Vas postmaster ut Muscatine, Iowa, and edi-
tor Of the Mus catine Journal, Of which paper,
think, be was the founder. He afterwards
removed to Geneva, Welworth county, Wis,
ard engaged In the milling business. Subse-
Quently he removed to Monroe, Green coun-
1y, Wis, and edited the Se7.tis~l a. that place.
He alto published the STATE Rights while there.
Finally he moved to Stevens Point, Wis and
published paper there, where he raised
Captain Stout was man OF great ability
vigorous writer and an eloquent speaker. he
"as IN intensely bitter opponent Of s]avery,
hrd always gave his voice fur freedom. a
nan Of strong feelings, h. was warm aud
devoted friend, hostile, uncompromfsing
enemy; q man Of fine feelings and generous
impulses, though sometimes led ast1ay by the
stronger passions, lie had within him keen
sense Of honor and justice. He was WAS
tly, and ready to lay down his life in the de-
ftnse Of those principles for which he had
1'attled during the greater portion Of his life.

Is errors, and hold his virtue up for the imi-
tat1on Of others. II. ". ".

DIscoRD AMONG FRIENDS

Mr.. stephens,,th the Vice President Of the
Bogus Confederacy, is unkind to his friends
in the North. While they are making the
heavens ring with their cries for the
amendment Of the Constitution and the
reconstruction Of the Union with new
guarantees for man-selling, Mr.. Stephens
coolly declares that they are mistaken
that reconstruction is impossible" In
his recent speech at Charlotte, S. G., this
declaration is determined and emphatic.
he is, unQuestonablY, right. Preserya-
ton Of the old Union under the Constitu-
ton, or its alternaive-separalion Of the
States and the utter ruin Of the Republic
is all that is left Us. AIr. Stephens is, Of
course, for separation; the vast majority of
the people Of the North, are for contin-
uance Of the war with view to the
Unions preservation. We shall see who

I While it is true that the murderous
mob in New York was composed almost
exclusively Of 11sh Catholics, it is not true
that all, or even majority Of the Catholic
hishmen took part in it. The respectable
and decent Irish kept a1oof from it, and in
some instances aided the authorities to re-
sist and quell it. It is high time that this
class Of 1Hshmen- should Withdraw from

NEW ORLEANS FRENCumEr.

4 batch Of French residents in New Or
Jeans have addressed note to the French
Vice Consul, aching in that city, calling
upon him to demand Of the Government
of the French Emperor, that they should
send fleet Of war ships" several vessels
of war;" as they express it-into the Mis-
Rissippi, to afford them "all necessary re-
duse and protection" in case there should
be an outbreak between the white and
black races, which, according to their re-
presentation, is more than probable.
They allege that "meetings are held,
Speeches made, and publications spread
abroad tho tendency Of all which is to
bring about this conflict; and that, if it
were to occur, they would "be placed in
serious peril" both in their property and
persons" They allege, further, that tue
Commander-in- Chief having taken away
Their arms, they would be utterly defense
less, in case Of the anticipated outbreak,
and that circumstances might arise at
any moment, either owing to the departure
of the United States troops to encounter
The enemy, or the evacuation Of New Or
3eans after some engagement, in which the
National Government might be found per-
3ectly unable to afford them protection" :"
This is the plea Of the French denizens,
and it is curious and suspicious, to say the
least Of it, that they should prefer it at the
present time, when all the country, from
pne end Of it to the other, is maddcned by
fhe aggressions Of the French Emperor in
Mezico. and his very palpable designs
upon the integrity Of the American Re-
public. One would think it was enough,
for the time being, that We should find
ourselves in such close proximity to
monarch who, if he had recognized treaty !
rights, and the law Of nations, would hare
Kept himself within his OWL boundaries.
without invoking the wrath Of our
People and the condemnation Of the
civilized world, by turning buccaneer upon !
Luis continent, and debating to a whole |
nation, at tile point Of the bayonet, the
hind Of thing that should rule over them I
as King. he has put one European mon
arch upon an American throne. and We
would rather he excused from permitting
Jim. to aid in setting up another little
Eearer to Washington.
That this is the aim Of the Emperor-
That he designs first to recognize the rcb-
L1s. and then to help them with his legions,
to the end that they also may have King,
is by no means unlikely; and this cry of
The New Orleans Frenchmen for a fleet OF
French ships on the Mississippi, On the
ground that they are in danger Of having
1he1r throats cut BY rascally niggers, or still
more rascally "white trash,' is rather too
transparent piece Of trickery for the
american Government to tolerate,
Instead now Of getting the French En-
peror to send his fleet to the Mississippi
would it not be just as well, and far
more wise and polite, to send the French
residents to the right about at once, and
give them free pass to Paris
This French dodge won't do.

It is not at all surprising that the dis
loyal faction in the North, whose recent
attempted revolution was go unceremo-
niously squelched by the police and mill
tary authorities Of New York, should trent
the whole affair as good joke, and strive
TO get up laugh over the piquency with
which the loyal newspapers Of the land
point to it Us the true end Of Copperhead
endcayor-not at all surprising. That's
