Water has always been administered

been offered for the cure of diseases
of the lungs, but of all that have yet
been discovered, it is admitted by
physicians, and all who have witness,

successful as this. For asthma, Short.

it may be pronounced a posittre cure. Ii

Gen. Sherman's Expedition.

Gen. Sherman with his brave and
gallant army are sweeping through
the South with almost irresistible force
carrying destruction and devastation
to rebels in his path. He has already
traversed the entire State of Mississip.
pi and nearly through the heart OF
Alabama. capturing Jackson, Meridi.
an and Selma, the largest depot for
military stores in the South. At last
accounts he was supposed to be ad.
vancing on Montgomery. He has
thus passed almost through the cen.
tire of rebellion distance of upwards
of three hundred miles almost with
out opposition. From Montgomery
it is probable that he will proceed to
the support of Gen. Grant, in Georgia.

EMANCIPATION IN RUSSIA.

The world is steadily advancing
toward the grand goal of Universal
Freedom. A century ago, practica
serfdom existed all over Europe. Fiji
ty years ago, slavery was recognized
by almost every Government of the
Old World. Thirty years ago, Eng
land had slaves in the West Indies,
while France and Holland, while Spain
and Portugal, while Mexico and States
of South America, rigidly adhered to
the doctrine of the divine right" OF
man to hold his fellow in bondage and
dispose of him as he would an OK OF
a horse.
What change has been wrought
in public opinion and the policy OIL
States /! Slavery, monarch Of all il
surveyed few decades since, is ar
outlaw to-day. 1t is under the ban Of
Christendom. The great powers Of
the Old World have set their faces
like a flint against it. Even Turkey
half barbarous as she is, has spewed
it out of her mouth. Only the rebels
cling to il and hope against reason
and the inexorable decree Of fate to
save and perpetuate it.
The progress of Freedom in Russia
has been especially remarkable. From
time immemorial the masses of that
country have been in condition of
chattelship. But the present Empe-
ror, with a courage and humanity
which reflect lasting honor upon him,
resolved to emancipate the serfs. The
mobiles protested. Conspiracies were
threatened and even Matched and a
storm of indignation over the innova-
ton upon the rights of personal
property" ragged from one end of the
Empire to the other. 1t was predict
ed that the effort would prove fail
urc that the people, suddenly iuves-
ted with the rights of citizenship
would abuse their new privilege; and
that the disturbance of tho old foun
dations upon which society had rested
for hundreds of years would result il
serious disaster, if not in ruin.
But never were predictions more
signally falsifed. Rev. j. Long. an
English Missionary, who visited Rus.
STA last summer, has sketched the re-
suits of bis observations as to the pro-
gress of practical emancipation. He
says that within two years no less
than twenty-three millions of intelli-
gent, active peasantry have been
raised from the state Of chattcls to the
condition of insuring their own indie
pendence and comfort. One million
have already bought the land on which
they were formerly located, borrowing
the money from the Government.
More than 5000 new schools have
sprung into existence through individ-
ual effors among the peasantry, and
they are rapidly on the increase. The
general results of this vast change
are beyond estimate. Property is ev-
erywhere rising in value, municipal in
stitutions are springing up, and Con-
Government must be the
ultimate result. The Emperor Nicho-
las foresaw this and hestated to enter
upon the work Of emancipation, but it
was no objection in the mind of Alex

Fire in Davenport.

We learn from the Davenport Ga
zctfe that "a very destructive fire oc.
Cured in that city on the 2lst ult.

The fire broke out in stable. 1t was
the most disastrous fire that has oc.
Cured in Davenport for many months,
and but for the heroic endeavors of
the firemen, the results must have
been far more destructive, as there is
a large amount of inhammable mate
rial in the neighborhood. 1t is sup
posed to have been the work of an in

is one of the greatest strengthening prepare
tons extant. 1t is especially adapted to those
who are afflicted with the Fever and Ague, or
any other disease arising from disordered
condition of the digestive organs. For the
Fever and Ague there is perhaps no medicine
in the world equal to it, as it enters, purifies
and rcplenishes the blood, which is 30 impor-
tant to bring about a healthy action in disea
ses of this nature. The Bitters are now among
the most popular, and at the same time, val
liable specifics in the medical world. In rec
ommending it to the public, We are fully con-
scious of doing them great service, knowing,
as We do, their many excellent qualities, and
sure and speady action in all cases where the
disease is caused by irregularity of the diges-
tive organs. A trial will suffice for the most
skeptical. q; See advertisement.

For the Charles City Intclligenccr.
The 500 Bounty.

1t is so common to hear individuals
finding fault with the Board of Super
visors of Floyd county, that | am dis
posed to offer few remarks upon their
late act, offering 800 bounty for each
recruit to make up the quota of the
county under the last call for 200, 900
men. 1t is known the quota under the
5000 call was made up by bounties
raised by private subscriptions in the
several townships. That caused the
whole expense to be borne by part
of the residents, leaving portion of
the resident and all the nonresident
property entirely free from the heavy
burden. This method was so mani
testify unequal and unjust that few if
any could again be induced to sub.
scribe to individual bounties; and
there was a great clamor against the
Board-and not without some reason
for not having previously offered
bountics for volunteers.
How is the present bounty of 500
likely to operate, or be received by
the taxpayers 1t being but one-hall
the amount which many Of the neigh
boring counties have offered for sever.
al months past, and the time designa-
ted to fill up the quota to avoid draft
being so short, it is not likely of itself
to prevent draft, or furnish many re.
cruits. Some towns have furnished
more than their full quota under the
late call, and as the bounty is only
for those who may enlist in the future
how will the people of such towns be
likely to view the tax necessarily i'm
posed upon them? Probably we shall
all hear at no distant period.
The Supervisors were summoned in
haste, there was a great cry "tha'
they should offer bounties &C., &C.
They have done so, and perhaps il
such a manner as to operate unequally
The writer thinks that they acted in
good faith, and from patriotic motives
though hastily and rather late. The
chief error consisted in not acting
sooner, or if those who had previousl,
volunteered had been included, as en-
titled to bounties, the thing would no
have been so unequal as now. The
bounty can yet be extended to such
but it will materially increase the tax
BY including all volunteers less injus
tice will be done. If the Board do not
offer bounties to all it had better not
to any. There are soldiers in the field
who have taxable property, and how
does it look to tax such property to
pay bounties to others to save our.
selves from draft
For the Supervisor system" fol
the sake of the Supervisors, the peo
pie and the country, we trust that they
will not fear nor fail to do justice il
this matter, and at the earliest period

The dose is from quarter to half a

should be administered. In cases
characterized by delirium great bene.
fit has been obtained by applying a
bottle Of hot water to the feet. A

an outdoor airing at the earliest pc

When applied in the earliest stage OF

should be well stirred or shaken imme-
diately before administering it.
