Sir Thomas Browne was great met
aphysician, and, like all that tribe of the :
crisis, he made great mistakes. One of
his sententious assertions was, that there
was no general remedy for disease except
death The remark is terse and epigram-
matte, but untrue. PROFESSOR uoLLo-
WAY, the distinguished medical botanist,
whose Pills and Ointment are everywhere
transcending all human expectation, by
the most astonishing cures of every bodily
ailment, are not only general, but unicer-,
sal remedies. The whole country re-
sounds with the fame of these remidies
and their famous inventor. States and

Holloway will be born with it from gene
ration to generation. by his labors for
the amelioration of human suffering, lie
has earned immortality. His fanrc has
more enduring monument than the page
of history; it will live in the hearts of
graceful nations, so long as disease and
pain exist. Compare the results Of his
great discoveries with the benefits con-
ferred upon mankind by Cooper, an
Aberncthy. or Brodie. These were
the idols of circumscribed constituencies.

only who could afford munifeent fee

clans. Holloway can count his by mil
lions, and the cures wrought by his
remedies are in the same Herortiop. -

The draft must go OF. Our wasted,

We ardcntly desire and hope fcra speedy

end we must have full ranks ana an ev-

armies confronting ia. Those at the
South who may be viking to negotiate a
reconstruction of the Union, cannot do
it if their armies shall be strong and az
grcssiye, while ours are weak and cow

The Draft calls for 500, 1000 men BIT

Especial DESPATCH 20 the Ec- York Tmepl.
WAsliIsGroN, August 25.-You may
rest assured that all the rcI CTS attribut-
ing to the Government any movements
looking toward negotiations for peace at
present are utterly without foundation.
There has been nobody at Niagara repre-
scnting the Government, or in any way
expressing its opinions, concerned in
any negotiations OF conversations with
the Rebel cmissaries Gin the subject Of
peace The Government has not enter
tanned or discussed tn, project Of pro-
posing an armisticc with the Rebels; nor
has it any Intention of sending commits
sioncrs to Richmond for the purpose Of
Offering or soliciting terms OF peace, or of
negotiating with the Rebel authorities on
that or any other subject. I.s soho and
undivided purpose is to prosecute the war
until the rebellion is quelled. But if
any,3dy doubts its willingness to make
peace whenever he Rebels will lay down
their arms and return to the Union, let
him produce any proposition from the
Rebel authorities to that effect, or any
evidence that they are dcsirous Of ending
the war Gu those terms, and he will then
be in condition to test the purpose and
disposition of the Government on that
point He will find no difficulty or delay
in defining the Prcsident's- portion on
that subject,
The Washington correspondent of the
Horld, with mere irinness than usually
marks his dispatches, says:
Much amusement has been caused here
by the reports in New York of the ap-
pointment of peace commissioners by the
