YnInnIeers and TenscrIpIs.

In debate in the Senate on the Goth
instant, Mr.. Wilson said that "fullY one
third, at least, of General Grants srmy,
that has made marches and fought battles
unparalleled in this century anywhere, has
gone into the service during the last eight
months" These men are volunteers and
not eOnscripts. They have, in many cases,
received large bOunties, but they have de-
liberstely chosen to enter the army. Re-
pudiating the idea that these men were,
in any sense, mercensries," Mr.. Wilson
said:
They ought to have had bounty. All
kinds Of labor are now exceedingly high !;
the cost Of living is high. These men who
are fighting our battles have left families
behind them as dear s9g to thsn Fs st kSm: kfsi
and 20 and peril their lives for the ooun-
try; perhaps come back MANNED and
Woubded. The men who take q bounty
and uses the money as man ought to do,
to support, protect, and educate his family;
that man who bares his bosom to rebel
steel, is just IS much patriot as the man
who volunteered for less sum. II looks
to me, in the present condition Of the
country, that We are expected to pay more
for men, and ought to pay more, than We
did in the early days Of the war.

RebsI Prisoner az Point LooIEOnt,

Rebel Prisoners at Point LO0kOnt'
The correspondent Of the Baltimore
American, writ ng from Point Lookout,
says:
Over two thousand rebel prisoners have
arrived at the Point during the past ten
days. Among the rest are large number
captured at Petersburg, and belonging to
Besuregsrd's command. These men, pre-
Eious to their entering the camp, are close
ly examined, and all extra clothing,
watches and money are taken from them
by the Provost Marshal. who keeps an ex-
act account, and when they depart, the
money, watches, SC, is returned. Some
rather singular cases present themselves to
be examined.
Some have gold and notes, hid under
their hair; some seWsd up nnder the lin
ing Of their clothing; some in the bottom
Of their socks; others think they have
safely secured their specie in the lining of
their boot tops, but the vigilsRt eye OF
Lieutenant Phillips and his corps Of de-
tectiVes soon show it's existence, and the
gold comes forth. One knspssck lately
examined, contained two full suits OF fe-
male apparel and some baby clothing, and
when the same was brought to light it
caused some meriment among his com
rades, who had quite q laugh at his ex
pense. Thes clothes came quite handy,
and we're Immediately sent to the female
prisoners confined st the camp hospital.

DEAFNESS, CATARRH,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THE
EAR, THROAT AND AIR PAssAa Es

From the Home Journal, June f. 1868.
In every business or profession, indeed in ev-
cry department OF science or skill, there is al
ways some acknowledged head--sOme one who
stands out in bold relief among his fellows, as 8
sort Of leader in the study and treatment
deafness and estsrrh, as special diseases. DR..
e. B. LIGHTHILL, Of this City, occupies just
the position above described. de has devoted
yea Of labor 70 ihis speciality. and IS now reap
ing the reward of his industry. The editorial
columns of the Tribune, of a late date, bear wit
1ess to the doctors success in this department
Of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
CURE OF DEAF MUTE.-Louis Loewein-
stein, a lad IA years OF age, born in Germany,
came to this city when he Was about two years
old. Soon after his arrival here he was taken
sick and lost his hearing. By degrees he became
first deaf and then dumb For nearly ten years
he was mute unable to hear the loHdest voice,
or to srtieulste a word. About one year
ago be was placed by his parents in
the hands of DR.. LIGHTHILL, who has so far
succeeded IN restoring to him mis- lost powers Of
hearing and utteranee that he can converse with
those who speak to him distinctly and deliber-
ately. during the past four or five months he
has been under the tuition Of Mr.. Bennecke, and
has made considerable progress IN -'''--4-
Irving been supplied with the lads address
we further investigated the matter, and discov-
cred thai, previous to calling on Dr. Lighthill,
the youths case was considered hopeless, and
he was for two years an inmate OF the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum. The Rev. John Mott, D. D., Pre-
fessor in Union College, Schenectady, in a pab-
lished letter, tenders his gratitude 10 DR.. Light
hill, for treating successfully his case Of deaf
ness. Rev. Fred. s. Jewell, Professa- OF the
State Normal School at Albany, also tsstifes to
having been cured Of catarrh Dr. Iiebthiii
possesses other written testimonials and tn
hutes to his talent from some OF our Wealthiest
and most prominent and respected citizens,
which may be seen on application. It would be
difficult TO speak in any but terms or praise Of
his treatment, in the face Of these many proofs
and facts testfying to his success.

singular Revelations Concerning a Blind
Asylum in New York.


Asylum in New York.
A majority of the pupils in the New
York Institution for the Blind drew up 8
petition to the State Legislature stating
what grievances they were enduring
There has been 9 refinement of cruelty
which is discrsditsble to the civilization
Of the age. The report is quite long, but
the following paragraph sums up the afflic-
tionsE. -. 49,. i.........os :.

days ct q stretch, and there feed on dry
bread and water, at the caprice Of every
petty official; have been compelled to eat
food 90 tainted that the smell not only
destroyed the appetite hut siokened the
stomach been deprived Of our liberties
and looked up in chambers so close and
unhealthy that even the committee, on eZ-
amining them, chose 10 make their stay as
brisfas circumstances would permit; been
compelled 70 lie on sheets 30 damp that
water could be Wrung out OF theu by the
pressure Of the hand, aggravated by rain

of which was SO dirty as to be easily dis.
covered by the mere sense Of touch, and
into this have been plunged, by the dozen,
before being changed; have while attend
ing TO our studies, been ouffed, pushed, and
pinohed by the teacher for every fancied
inattention or want Of respect-sll this in
our helpless condition, more cruel and in
human than II our punishment had been
more corporslly severe. We question if
the records Of our state prisons can show
q treatment more CALLING to the feelings or
preiudicial to the health.

The Re.IrnatIon ID nIr Chass

If, as is said, Mr. Chase has resigned be-
cause Congress Is unwilling to grant him
such resources as he needs in order to carry
on the Government We trust the occasion
Of the resignation will be Immediately re-
moved.
The Eouress vhanna Mr. Chase proposes
10 raise further revenue will admit Of
still further taxation, Whiskey, petroleum,
tobacco, and incomes srs sources of rev.
snus, that might still further be drawn
upon
The country win very much lament the
withdrawal Of Mr.. Chase, if it should
prove permanent. So far ss Ohio is con-
cernsd, the people are not anxious to have
sHy particular man They ask that, if a
change be made, the bestmani in the nation
be selected, no matter from what place he
comes. We believe that Mr.. Chase will
return; that the country cannot afford to
lose his invaluable services.

me esN.v,v IA aParoxysra Of BIiss.

The eNews" In aParoxysn Of Bliss.
The New York News, long doubtful and
lugubrIous in view Of the sorry prospects
Of the Democracy, has at length become
quite jubilsnt with new hopes. It sees in
the Fremont movement an OPpOrtuHity f0r
success. In Wednesdays issue 1t ssSs'
lie tbaresore apparent that the division
:. the BIaek Republican ranks is OF na-
tsre 10 psralyse their party. All who are
hostile 70 Mr.. Lincoln, but in favor Of pros
esuting the war, will give their support
to General Fremont. The place seekers,
Office holders, and mercsnary spirits that
thrive, or hope to thrive, with the oppor-
tunities for plunder and preferment eHcred
by civil strife, will support Mr.. Lincoln.
Between the gap thus opened in the War
party, the Peace men have but to press on
ward to victory.
All this is, no doubt very hsttering TO
Fernando Wood who declared, only few
days since, that he had recsntly rspentsd
having ever uttered word in favor Of the
war.
with all due respect to the few who sx-
peet to vote for Fremont, We cannot see
the patriotism or good sense Of preferring
the success of VsIlsndhsm and Wood, to
that Of Abraham Lincoln.
The Tribune wisely says:
nEither Mr.. Lincoln must be reelected,
or he must be superseded by the candidate
Of Vallsndighsm and the seymours, of
Garret Davis and Fernando Wood. What.
ever any one may wish, this is the only
practicable alternative. General Fremont
in order to have shadow of chance, must
more and mOTs commend himself TO the
favor Of the Sham Democracy and, il he
does so, his nti-Slsvsry supporters will
necessarily fall away from him.

Trustees are Authorizsd TO RRIss Bsuu-
Ties
The work Of recruiting for our armies
is to be commenced again with renewed
vigOr. By law passed last winter,
townships and ward trustees are author
iEed to levy tax up to 500 for giving
bOunties to volunteers. Let this bounty
now be raised and let agents be set to
work Immediately. What townships and
wards can raise, added to the Government
bounty, viii soon fill up the quotas. There
is no chance for misunderstanding now.
The entire strength Of the nation, through
the loyal representatives, is given to the
Government Il remains to be seen
whether townships and wards win renew
their efforts to avoid al drafting.

1t Is striking fact, that every Union
paper in the Unitsd States, Published in
the English Language, which has yet de-

is for Lincoln and Johnson. Every paper
which sustains the war is for Lincoln and
johnson, except only an ephemsral periOdi-

is owned BY Fremont and edited by one Of
