means of which every sufferer, no matter what
his condition may be, may cure himself cheaply
privately, and radically.

Pork AND BEANS White beans are
the cheapest and most nutritious food
which can be eaten. Beans and pork
furnish nearly all the elements necessary
to human subsistence. A quart of beans
at eight cents, and pound of pork at
twelve cents, will feed small family for
aday. -Four quarts of beans and two
pounds Of corned beef, boiled to rags, in

IA settlement which retains slavery as

tector of slavery IN perpetuo.
Are the people of the country ready

ready to purchase peace which leaves
untouched-nay W h C assists to re-
establish the original causes of the war
We do not believe it. Furthermore we
do not believe the democratic party dares
to come before the country with a pro-
position for peace, based on the promise
of continued life and protection 10 slav-
cry. We all understand what they mean,
and what h y want but they know
that, even among their W numbers,
there are multitudos whom the war has
converted into the inplacable enemies of
slavery, and who will never consent to
a peace which leaves the accursed insti-
tuition intact
Let the thoroughly loyal people of the
country, of whatever party, heartily &C
cept and boldly and unhesitating!y pro-
claim the abolition of slavery as an es-
sential part of the policy of this war, for
the restoration of the Union. There is
no occasion to be afraid of this PROPOSE
ton or S policy. There are weak
men who will submit to any wrong or
any disgrace for the sake of peace-men
who are meanly ready and willing to
dodge the struggle, and pass it over into
the hands of their children, to be their
curse and their destruction. There are
wicked men who will C m IN i any
wrong against humanity and their coun-
try for the sake of power; but the weak
and the wicked are for once in the mi
lority. Let those who call for a peace
which, in the nature of things, can be no
hing better then hollow truce, appeal
o the weakness and the wickedness of
he nation if they dare to adopt such
policy. The nation is not with them, and

THE GREAT DEFENSE OF CHRISTI
ANITY.-None having made just obser-
walton can deny that the Gospel elevates
all who are anywise obedient to its facts,
principles or spirit. While all other res
Iigions debase, Christianity alone has
proved itself able to exalt and ennoble
its disciples. 1t has raised entire nations
out Of the horrible darkness of barbarism.
1t has aroused the dullest minds to the
putting forth of marvellous powers and
it has quckened souls dead in tresspass-
es and in sins with the fame of new
life. These are facts uncontrovertible.
They contain the argument and demon
straton of the divine origin aud power
of our religion, which no sophistry can
refute.

NASHVILLE, Dec. Persons from the

force as desperate one, and four charges
were made upon the federal line of masked

time the rebels were repuled with fearful
slaughter. The fort is on the north bank
of the river opposite the town; extending
up the river, and encircling the town was
the line of masked batteries. Eye witness
ses say this engagement in desperate and
furious fighting, was hardly equalled since
the battle of Stone River. Forrest in per

rumor is in circulation that he was killed.
