7 OHGwORTRs VATAwBA WINES.
SPARKLING AND STILL.
FRED. 5. COzzENs,
Sole Agent,
Washington, D. C., and "a Warren Iirsei, Reg York.
THESE WINES, independent OF their excellent
qualities as Table Wines, are also highly recon-
mended for medicinal use. They are entirely pure,
wholesome, and at the same time economical.
Among the numerous recommendations received
from members OF the Faculty, the following letters
may be cited.
SANITARY COMMISSION,
Washington, d. e., April 2, 1882
=. s. CoEIESs, ESQ.,
sIR; with some diniculty have got from hospi-
tai surgeons sufficient data wherewth to found an
estimate of the value of the "stlll CAtawbA wine
OF Mr.. LongwOrth as an article of hospital stores.
It seems to be especially valuable as a tonic and
StimulAnt in the stage Of eonvAesoence from acute
disease 1t iS generally acceptable to the stomach
and Its Acidulous quality renders 1t grateful to the
palate.
The "spArkling CatSwba" shares with other true
sparkling wines the characteristic Of agreeing well
with the stomach.
Yours truly
J. FOSTER JENKINS
CIECIEEATI, December II, 1861.
DEAR sIR In answer to your note, will say /
very much prefer the CAtawba wine to any other
alcoholic StimulAnt in Typhoid fever. The acid is
very acceptable to fever patients always dilute
1t with water, two or three parts Of water to one
Of wine and add white sugar to the taste Of the
patient. Ihavo used tin many cases Of consump-
tion and have generally found less emAciAtion than
usual, and less disposition to diarrhus In the last
stages Of the disease.
Yours respectfully

We are glad to learn that Gen. FRANK
LIN, who is one of the ablest offices we
have, has been completely indicated from
the aspersions thrown upon him by the
radical journals subsequent to the battle of
Fredericksburg. The New York Times
publishes a statement, altogether too long
for our columns Of the conduct of Gen.
Franklin at the battle Of Fredericksburg,
in reply to an impeachment of it contained
in letter from the editor of the Times,
written at Washington on the Oath of Jan
uary. In that letter the statement was
unequivocally made that Gen. BURNSIDE
intended his main attack to be made by
our left wing, under Gen. FRANKLIN, and
that the battle was lost by Gen. FEANKLIN's
failure to make that attack, with the force
and vigor contemplated by his orders, and
which were essential to success. After .
perusal Of the orders and documents re-
ferred to above, Mr.. RAYMOND has the can
dor to say: cit seems to us clear that
Gen. FRANKLIN not only performed all the
services enjoined upon him in his orders,
but that lie did more than was contemplate
ed by them by pushing the attack upon
the enemy in his front. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the Government does not con-
slider his conduct in that affair obnoxious to
censure, or it would have given him a
Court of Inquiry: and if this is the case he
ought to be relieved from any implied CEN
sure and placed in position where the
country can again have the benefit Of his
unquestioned ability in the prosecution Of
the war"

Iaassacasusetts to be put On a. War
Footing.

A bill has been introduced into the Mas
sachusetts Legislature providing for putting
the State upon perfect war footing. By
its provisions the able-bodiel male popula
ton of the State from eighteen to twenty
four years of age, fremen and all, is
constituted the active r,ilitia; and those
from twenty-four to forty-fve are desig
mated as the reserve. The former are to
be organized in three companies, and are
to drill Or parade three days in each year,
one Of these parades to be the usual May
training, and shall do camp duty for three
days, and drillby companies six hoursin each
month from May to November, and three
hours in each month for the balance OF the
year. Call for active service shall first
apply to those from twenty to twenty
five years of age, next from twenty-five to
thirty, and next from thirty to thirty
five. Exemptions are based on the
French military system.

The New Chippewa Treaty.

The Geographic announcement of the
terms of this treaty was incorrect in some
respects, particularly in regard to the place
where the Indians are to reside hereafter.
A Washington letter to an eastern paper
states that by the terms of this treaty, the
Chippewa Indians in Minnesota, now set
tied around Gull Lake, on the southern
border of Cass County, are to be removed
to the vicinity of Red Lake, about 100
miles further north, on the boundary line
between Polk and Pembina counties, and
at least $50 miles north Of the present
outskirts of white settlement or civilization.
The country around there is q vast swampy
desert, containing but very small propof-
ton Of reclaimable lands. Red Lake is
body ofwater about thirty miles long,
and sixteen miles in its greatest breadth.
In outline it resembles two lakes joined to-
gether by narrow strait of water The
notwithstanding to the authority above
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SOiIit ctUlOuS Slipiit-
tons. Among others, it provides that the
superintendent Of these Indians shall be
entrusted to board composed Of ministers
exclusively all white and married. This,
we suppose, is a precaution against both
cupility and the tendency to mix the races
which Indian agents have been so prone to
develop in their intercourse with the say
age.
Before leaving Washington for their
homes, the chiefs comprising the mission
called upon the President, accompanied by
Senator RAMSEY and other Minnesotians,
to express their satisfaction at the happy
termination Of their diplomatic efforts
They were well received, and had "big
talk The President assured them of the
good will and protection OF the Govern
ment as long as they deserved it, and they
promised good behavior in the future.

Appointments from Minnesota,

In addition to the appointment of D. A.
SEcoMBE, of st. Anthony, as Provost
Marshal for the Second Congressional Dis
trict of this State, which we announced on
Tuesday, we have learned of the appoint
ment of Hon. NJ. WHEELER SERGEANT, Of
Winona, as Paymaster Of the Army, with
the rank Of Major, and also of the appoint
ment by Secretary STANTON, of Mrs. JANE
G. SwrssIIELM, Of St. Cloud, to a position
in the War Department.; with salary of
$1,000 per annum. We are not advised
in regard to the specific duties incumbent
ON Mrs. Sw1ssHELM, in the prosecution of
the war, but can hail the appointment
as q partial fulfiment Of Geographic
prophecy "that the President and Secre-
tary STANTON are about to adopt vigorous
measures for the suppression Of the rebel
liOn."
