ANrIDoTE FOR PoIsoS.-Dr. James Ed
munds, a prominent London Physician, writes
as follows to the London Times:
81 inclose simple, safe and accessible pre-
seription for the whole range of acid and cor
rosive poisons, and which il promptly used,
will almost invariably save life: Mix = OF. of
powdered chalk or Magnesia, or OF Of Wash
ing soda, with pint. Of milk, and swallow at
one draught; then tickle the back of the throat
with feather or the finger, 50 as to produce
vomiting. Afterwards drink freely Of hot
mix and water and repeat the vomiting so as
to thoroughly wash out the stomach. ANY
quantity Of chalk and magnesia may be taken
with safety but soda in large quantities is in
furious. 1 may add also that, the narcotics
being excepted, mil alone is an antidote for
almost all the poisons, and especially if follow
ed by vomiting.

B6- The Richmond Whig says: "We ven
ture the prediction that rout more disgrace
full than the Bull Run stampede, awaits the
Yankees in most of the conflicts likely to ccclr
during the next campaign. They will have to
enter upon it with all the disadvantage of raw
levies, who will present but poor bulwark
against the gallant veterans of Lee and John
ston. As to the contingent of the three years
men likely to remain in the service, we take
the estimate of Yankee authorities, they will
not constitute force sufficiently large TO i'm
part an air of martial discipline to their new
organization. The Bull Run stampeders were
compared with the material which will com
pose the new army. We see no grounds to
presume that the Yankees will bring into the
field larger force than we will. II they do,
it must, of necessity, be of such material as
cannot, if multiplied into the proportion Of ten
to one, counterbalance the overpowering ad-
vantage which We shall possess in q well dis
ciplined veteran army. No result, however
palpable, achieved now by our arms, can be
received as an index of what is TO be when we
have green horns TO encounter. We do not
desire to underrate, in the least degree, the
fighting qualities of the Yankees. Recently
they have done well, much better indeed than
We ever thought them capable Of doing. Our
predictions as to what is to be the result from
q conflict between the two armies are justified
upon the plainest principles of military sci "
ence. Ne therefore reiterate our expectation
that the Bull Run scene will be enacted with
the increased dramatic effect in more than
one conflict during the ensuing summer

war.

IT is very safe, aud certainly very
moderate estimate, to say that the ballot
in this city is worth one hundred votes to
the Union ticket. We believe that it is
worth nearer three times that number. In
our opinion nothing but the ballot carried
the elections last May People who live
above the atmosphere of dependent life,
aud who have been always accustomed to
vote as they pleased and for whom they
pleased, may not easily appreciate the in
estiu.able benefits of the ballot box which,
like the grave, tells no tales az to how
any man votes. It's all very iue to talk
about the open and manly and bold piva
U0ee system, but to those who know its
origin and have studied its operation, it is
nothing more nor less than the subtle and
baaetul tyranny of certain opinions over
certain other opinions. 1t vas once
sulogiEed by an eminent scion of the
Eastern Virginia aristucracy as hthe
healthful infeuce of landlord over tenant, !"
such as throughout the existence of many
OF the Southern States has been exercised
by the planters over the poor "white
trash" How many men each year in this
city were governed in their votes by their
fears no man can tell even approximately,
Any one, however, who has mixed much
amoug men knows how easily the to-
huence of fear operates upon very many
voters. We shall never forget letter. we
saw at Richmond during the sitting of the
Succession Convention. from professor in
one OF the colleges of Virginia to gentle
man Of this city in which, in terms Of
reimbursement, the writer ackuo wIedged
that while his sentiments we're all o ne
way he had voted another simply to pre-
serve his status, The acknowledgment,
was striking commentary on The viva
VOes system.
As matters stand with US now, all our
city ballots are to be printed on white pa
per, aud thus all votes, SO far as outward
appearances go, are alike, until they are
opened aud read. Such regulation pro
tscts to the fullest possible extent the per-
feet independence of the voter, aud makes
him feel that even with suspicious ewes
upon him he is casting vote known only
to himself. sf-

Tug prospects for Union victory at the
polls next Monday look decidedly brighter.
II the effort being made is kept up and in
creased, we think there can be no failure.
The material for such a victory Is ready
furnished to the baud Of Union men if they
Only will see aud aes,upou the necessity
for makiEg use Of it. What is needed is
not talk at meetiugs, but work-Work at
the hands Of every single man There is
scarcely Union voter in this city who
cannot, if he will, bring to the polls ON
election day some one voter, who but for
his influence and persuasion would not
come out People are busy now a-days,
and unhappiIy mauy are kept very busy
providing tor tue daily wants of their fam j..
lilies, aud it is not to be expected that per
sons thus circumstaucsd can give much
time or thought to elections. Beside We
have had 80 many elections within the la st
two years that to many who do not keep
the regular and necessary progression Of
things intelligentIy before their minds,
tue sams thing seems 10 be reproducing
itself all the time. 1t remains for those
who have kept watch, aud who know how
much We are indebted to constant effort
at these elections for our present status as
a people. to explain to and Impress upon
others the duty Of every Union man in
connection with every election during this
war. a.
