WRECK OF HUMANITY.
WHY SHOULD THEY SINK I

The excitement of 'the chase" has al
ways been supposed to have healthful
tendency but there IS kind of chase
which breaks down the constitution, debil-
itates the frame, and shortens life. We
mean the headlong, unintermtting hunt
after "the almighty dollar which is the
great business characteristic of the present
day. 1t begets other evils unnecessary
to name) which precipitates the fate of
thousands. There is, however, q posi-
bility of recovery from the prostration
produced by these causes, long after their
victim has ceased to hope for it. If we
are rightly informed, the most astonishing
curse Of what is called general weak ness
and debility, which have ever been known
in this country, have been effected through
the agency of Doctor Holloways inesti-
mable RENE dies. Mere skeletons of men
out Of whom the very principle of vitality
seemed to have been drained, have been
restored to health and vigor by the opera
ton Of the Pills; and Of the Ointment,
in case Of paralysis, rheumatism, &C., we
hear an equally favorable account. II
men ,cW break down their energies by
over exertion-if, in their anxiety to "go
ahead" they will override the most pre-
cious of Gods blessings, h ealth-it is we'll
they should know how 10 repair the mis-
chief, when they come at last to realize the
fact Of their premature decay. The wrecks
Of humanity, who, without any particular
disease, appear to be sinking frome mere
exhaustion, would find, without doubt
immediate relief from Doctor Holloway S
medies.-PhiIa. Tribune.

Letter from the Potomac Army,
CAMP NEAR MOUNTAIN CREEK, Va, I

CAMP NEAR MOUNTAIN GREER, VA, I
November 18th, 1868.
MT DEAR SIR:-
On Saturday the 7th inst, che different
Corps composing the Army of the Poto-
mao took up their line Of march for the
Rappahannock. The wind bluc the dust
in such clouds that it was almost mpossi.
bic to see. The 9Th and 9th Corps form.
ed the right of our line under command of
Gen. Sedgwick, and the lst 2nd and Sd
formed che left under command OF Gen.
French. Near sunset the different Corps
reached the river. The 9th halted at Rap
pahannock Station, and every one sup
posed it would attack the enemy next
morning in their entertainments. The en-
emy had the same opinion, therefore id
not post their pickets more than so yards
in front Of the earthworks. But Sedg.
wich wanted the works that night, and
accordingly sent over detachment to take
them. Not gun was fired by the ad-
vancing party but rushing forward they
secured the pontoon bridge, number also
fording the stream. 1t then became q
hand to hand conflict, resulting in the
capture of the forts with five guns, 1860
prisoners, and several colors.
1t is a remarkable fact that all the in
juries on both sides were caused by bay.
onets and dubbed muskets. Our men
took the suppers which the "Tigers" had
prepared for themselves. A portion Of
the 3D. Corps captured several hundred
prisoners at Relly's Ford.
On Sunday morning the entire army
crossed, and in different lines of battle
advanced towards the enemy, but they re-
treated without struggle. They had
built comfortable Winter quarters, and
evidently expected to remain in them dur
ing the coming Winter. Our cavalry ad-
vanced to Culpepper.
On Tuesday the different Corps regularly
encamped, and to all outward appearance
we have finished the campaign.
Enclosed I send you letter from near
Bradny Station, from member ofthe 44th
Georgia Regt. 1t was sealed and directed,
and was writted the evening before our
advance.

The Land Department.

A statement appears in the Harrisburg
Telegraph, Governor Curtin's Central Or.
gan, which is SO glaringly false as to bear
condemnation on its own face. The books
of the State Treasurer will show that in
the first six months of Gen. J. P. Barr,
term. beginning with May and ending with
October, the receipts on account of land
we're $l2,575 81.
During the same period last year, says
the Patriot &. Union, when the Surveyor
General and his clerks were Republicans
the receips on account of land were S2,.
423 81. The receipts for the single month
of July last, in Mr.. Barr's term, exceed
the receipts for the entire year Of 1862
under Republican rule, and we challenge
contradiction.

THANKSGIVING.

In his proclamation setting apart Thurs.
day, the 26th instant, to be day Of
thanksgiving and prayer, Gov. SEYMOUR,
of New York, makes suggestion in re-
lation to the destitute families of soldiers
and sailors, which we should like to see
universally complied with. He says:
Let us offer fervent prayer that the re-
bellion may be put down, our Union saved
our liberty preserved, and our Constitu'
tion and government upheld.
AS becoming proof of our thankful.
ness to G cd, and as proper evidence ol
our gratitude to the armies and navy,
urge our citizens to make contributions or
that day for the comfort and support O.
the destitute families of those who have
lost their lives or become disabled in the
service Of their country.
In the midst of our abundance let u:
remember charity to those who are il
want, and in the hour set apart for so
cal and religious thanksgiving and praise
within the limits Of our State, let US en-
courage those who are engaged on distan
and dangerous fields of duty by showing
symp athy and kindness towards their fam
lilies, which need our aid and support.

CuRTIN's majority in Pennsylvania

of this fact we think the Democracy of the
Old keystone State performed wonders

orators sent from Washington, and the ten
thousand Government employees ordered
from here, with thirty thousand soldiers

StitutiOnal.

The supreme Court. Of this State, in a
case brought before the Court by separate
opinions Of Judges Lowrie, Woodward
and Thompson, composing majority Of
the Court, has been decided to be uncon-
sttutional and void.
Judge Woodward, in his opinion which
is most convincing, and which we will
endeavor to give in full next week, says:
~ do not therefore, feel the force of the
argument drawn from the distressing cir
cumstances of the time. Bad as they are
we make them worse by substituting abb
tary power for constitutional rule, but if
we made them better or not not worse the
judicial mind ought not to be expected to
approve the substitution, for it cal recog-
nize no violation of the Constitution as
legitimate vindication of the Constitution
To place ourselves under despotic sway in
order to bring back Rebels to the Constitu.
ton we have given up is procedure that
perplexes the student of the political sci
ence, and will quite confound the historian
OF our times.
"There are other features of the Con
sript law that deserve criticism, but, not tc
extend my opinion farther, / rest my OBJ
jections to its constitutionality on these
grounds:
"lst. That the power of Congress &C
raise and support armies, does not include
tho power to draft the militia Of the State.
"2d. That the power of Congress to call
forth the militia cannot be exercised in The
forms OF this enactment
"3d. That a citizen of Pennsylvani;
cannot be subjected to the rules and art
cles of war until he he is in actual mill
tary service.
'4th. That he is not placed in such &C
tual service when his name has been drawr
from wheel and ten days notice thereo
has been served upon him.
"For these reason am for granting tn,
injunction"
This is the law and Constitution as w

WHY PRISONERS OF WAR ARE NOT e,

WHY PRISONERS OF WAR ARE NOT Ex-
cHANGED,-The cartal of exchange oi
prisoners has been suspended because the
rebels will not admit the officers and SOL
diers of colored regiments to be included
in it. The Richmond papers rant at our
government for its cruelty in decling to
exchange on rebel terms, but it would be
still more cruel and unjust, after inducing
colored men to join the army, to refuse tc
extend the protection Of the Government tc
them.
