A Conservative national something or 9TH
er, we can't quite make out whether IT calls
itself Committee or Conyention-but az
Mr.. Toots nsed sagely 10 remark, "it's no
equencs"-yesterday incubated in Phila-
delphia, and hatched Gen. Mcclellan as a
conservative" candidate for our next Presi-
dent, with Ex-Governor Campbell for Vice
President. Ex. Governor Campbell, OF Ten.
nesses was formerly Whig representative in
Congress from that State, but Of late Union
ist Of very mild type. lie is very res
pectable man; and, when, some morning he
wakes up and finds slavery has been dead Tor
some years, ,and cannot be brought 10 be again,
he will be as loyal, hearty Unionist as any
Of us.
OF course, the nomination Of Mcclellan is
the right thing; but then again it isn't. Me-
Clellan is the true and rightful Pro Slavery
candidate for President '.why nobody can do
n.y." But, being such, it is all wrong to have
have him backed about and used up in this
way. We beg those who really want him
elected, and don't want him used as cats
paw for others, TO look 10 this matter. He is
10, day as strong candidate as you can pick,
from that side, and has been the strongest. -
Buthe will be played out befo 10 next July il
all manner Of seedy, dyspeptic passe played
out politicians are allowed TO use his name
freely to advance their own ends. A few
more such backsets as his Woodward letter
and this "Conservative" abortion will flush
him. Now thore 10 not Secessionist in the
loyal States-at least, we never met or qeard
Of ono who is aot roaring McClellanite;
and their vote connot be go thoroughly con-
centrated on anv other man. We never met
man who stienuously ipsisted that the Reb-
el could not or ought not 10 be subdued, who
did not snsist that Mcclellan ought 10 COM
mand the Union Grand Army. Unless, then,
the conservatives" mean to split up and ex-
plode as their representatives in the House
threaten 10 do, they should make these fossils
keep hands of and let the man have a ghost
of a chance.
And what we say iE his case we maintain
with regard to all cases-on our side as we'll
as on the other. Whoever you are that have
a favorte for the Presidency, keep his name
out Of the newspapers as possible candidate
for the next four or five months. Let his ad-
versaries mouthe him as they will; but let
his friends be discreet and silent. Had Abra-
ham Lincoln been prominently commended
for President in December 1850, he would
not have been President elect one year there.
AFTER BE wise then, O trainers Sof nags for
The Presidential course, and keep them well
blanketed in the stable for many weeks yet |

Compromise.

No. BY all the Mayhower's peril,
On the wild and wintery aea
BY the Pilgrims prayer ascending,
As he knelt with reverent knee;
BY that fairy day of summer,
When the tried, the true the brave,
Name aud life, and sacred honor
To the roll of Freedom gave;
BY the tears, the march, the battle
Where the noble fearless died,
While around the cannon's rattle,
Waiting angels at their side;
BY our children's golden future,
By our fathers stainless shield
That which God and heroes left us
We will never, never yield
Compromise! We scorn the offer-
Separation We defy
Firm and free and one forever,
Thus the people make reply:
Death TO every form of treason,
In the Senate, on the 6eldl
While the chorus swclls and echoes,
We will never, never yield

How to put down the Gucrrillns.

How 10 put down the GuePrilIas.
Why not try Gen. Buffers mode Of dealing
with guerrillas9 Mr.. Parton, in his History
Of Gen. Buffers Administration iu New Or

las lay in ambush for four sick Union soldiers
who were returning to camp. The sound
rcs fired into the wagon, killed two and
wounded two. The dead men they stripped,
clubbed aud mutiated, threw into hole in
the public square Of their village, and heaped
few ehoyels full Of earth over them. One of
the wounded men escared bnt The other
they put into filthy Jail, with negro convict.
Hearing Of this cowardly outrage, Gen. But
Ter sent Col. Keith of Indana,to ferret out the
perpetrators, and give them a lesson in morals
Of troops, had reacsd the vicinity of the vii.
lago he proceeded to carry out the General's
orders in the following manner:
]. He arrested every white man he could
find In the village and in the adjacent coun.
try.
g. He compelled them to provide decent
ccflins, for the murdered soldieIs, to dig them
up, place them in the coffins, convey them to
the burial ground, dig graves for them, and
stand respectfully by while they were houora
bly, and religiously inferred.
3. He gave them notice, in writing, that,
unless within forty-eight hours the names and
whereabouts of the murderers were discovered
he would burn the town and lay waste every
plantation near it.
4. The names beiug given up, he hunted
the Williams day and night till as many as of
them as remained in the vicinity were caught
and sent to head quarters.
5, Five planters refusing to give informa.
ton, and boasting that they bad harbored the
fugi,ives and knew where they were, Colonel
Keith burned their houses and barns, drove off
their cattle, and took away all their movable
property.

poor of the town and left them drove of the

very neatly done. Perhaps the same system

Put all into common-sized teacup or yes
sci which holds about four ounces, and pour
half full OF boiling water, stir well, and then
fill full Of good vinegar. Fit for use when it
settles. Make swab by getting little stick
about the sizs of pipe. stem, notch one end !,
and wrap strip OF cot on cloth around it,
letting tho cloth project about half an inch
beyond the end Of the stick, SO as not to jag

Swab the mouth and throat well every half
hour IL the case is bad, every hour il not bad.
When the patient gets better, every two
hours; then wheo better, every four hours;
and when still better, two or three tin es a
day, till well; which will be from two 10 sew
en- days. Touch every affected spot, the uvu-
la, tonsils and eaucss the whole Of the back
part of the mouth and top Of the throat, and
let the paticnt swallow little Of the wash
each time you swab. Swabbipg causes no
pain, though the patient will gag and some
times vomil; but swab well, and feeling of
relief will follow every swabbing.
Let every patient have sepc ate swab and
wash, as the disease is undoubtedly infectious
Keep the wash pure by pouring what you use
each time, into another vessel, and also wipe
off any matter or slime, that may be on the
swab, every time you take it from the mouth.
Rub the following linimert on tho the
throat outside, once every three or tour hours,
and keep flannel cloth around the neck till
