MADAME PoRTERs CURATIVE BALSAM
has long tested the truth that there are first prin-
cples in medicine as there is in science, and this
medicine is compounded on principles suited to
the manifold nature of man The cure of colds
is in keeping open the pores, and creating gen.
eral internal warmth, and this is caused by the
use of this medicine. Its remedial qualities are
based on its power to assist the healthy and vigor
Gus circulation of blood through the lunge, it en-
hvens the muscles, and assists the skin to perform
its duties of regulating the heat of the system,
and in gently throwing OFF the waste substance
from the surface of the body. 1t is not q violent
remedy, but emollient, warming, searching and
effective. 20:w3w

The New York Times contends III

The New York Times contends that
as it would have been the extreme of folly
to call Hooker a Napoleon or an Alexan-
der if he had won single battle, so 1t is
ridiculous 10 denounce him because he has
met one reverse. The genius of COM
mander is not to be tried by one or half-a-
dozen engagements, but by the results of
a campaign. This has only commenced.
We tried Mcclellan through two cam
paigns, which were uniformly failures, and
not until then did the country demand or
the Administration decide upon his remov-
al. Let us give Hooker q generous sup
port, until he has passed through an orde-
al sufficient to determine his ability. We
cannot be too patient with him; we can
not speak too kindly or encouragingly to
him, while he is laborng under the ire
mendoIFs load but neither patience nor
forbearance happily need diminish our
watchfulness by one iota, or our readiness
to insist on his removal, if after fair tri-
al, his incompetence has been fairly
proven.

SLAVERY AS A MILITARY POWER
The Richmond Examiner Of the 5th inst,
commences an article as follows:
The North have discovered from this
war the value of slavery to the South as a
military institution and the proclama-
tons of Lincoln have been designed to de-
stroy that power in our hands"
Notwithstanding the concurrent evil
dence presented by the actual events of
the war, and the boasts of the rebels them
selves, that slavery is the main prop and
rtay of the jeff Davis absoluteism, there
are still found men at the North, profes-
sing to be loyal, who constantly deuounce
and so far as they are able, obstruct every
effort made by the Federal government to
deal a blow at it. Thousands of gallant
soldiers have been stricken down, and we
fear that thousands more will share the
same fate, owing to the insane reverence
displayed by political demagogues among
us, for the accnrsed institution upon which
the rebellion relies for the sinews of war.

During tho past week monetary matters have
not experienced such ductuation a. one would
natu ALLY suppose they would when We were reoeiv-
ins, such news rs has come TO US from our armies.
The announcement of Hooker's retreat across the
Rappahannock did not throw the oonsiderate
bankers and brokers' in the country into spasns,
neither did II lessen their confidence in the gov
ernment because they have become convinced
that we have the means to conquer treason. and
that the work will be carried on till that object is
accomplished. Government securities did not de-
cline over one per cont, and there was hardly any
check to the funding Of currency. Gold advanced
to ISL but has receded to lac, and should news DO
favorable from Hooker, as we have every reason
to expect they will be, "stand from under" viii
be appropriate advice to operators in gold In all
probability government securities will not expert
enoe serious decline, even if Hooker should fail
in his last movement; because all classes are hold
ers of them, to greater less extent and all are
interested in keeping the price up.
Money is very plenty, and the first class meran-
tile paper is taken at low rates,
The news from England has been decidedly more
favorable since our last, and nothing serious is
expected to lresult from the late fiery debate in
Parliament.

AN HONEST SOLDIER. - John Mobr,
company Z, 4th Kentucky infantry, has
set an example to the men in the employ
of Uncle Sam, which many of them would
do well to emulate On the last pay day
John received Sl04 more than was due to
him, Notwithstanding the payment was
correct according to his descriptive and
muster rolls, He insisted that he had
been overpaid, but failed to convince the
paymaster, until he brought proof that
payment made two months previous had
not been entered against him. Upon in
vestigatlon it was ascertained that his
statement was correct, and the paymaster
awarded five dollars for his honesty. He
had every opportunity to pocket the mon
ey, and it would never have been discov-
cred, but his heart was too large to be
guilty y such a crime. He is highly de-
serving of promotion for his honesty
Aside from this virtue, he is said to be
an excellent soldier and has seen hard SER
vice.
