A REBEL CONSPIRACY IN THE NoRTH.-It Is
a we'll known fact that hundreds Of rebel agents
and sympathizers are in the North at present
congregating of hotels, specializing in the
money market Initiating the price Of gold,
and BY oil means in their power giving aid and
encouragement to the cause Of Davis. There
are also foreign agents here who consort with
these rebels, and by their correspondence for
European journals injure the cause Of the North
and uphold that Of the rebellion. In addition
to these foes to our constitution and country
shere are foreign journals published here which
advocate the cause of the South increasingly.
If these journals do not do SO openly, they at
tain the same object by constant msrepresenta-
tons, their purpose being to detract from all
our successes and increase those Of our enemies.
The journals in question are French and Eng
lish. We are pleased to state that the German
and Irish papers remain loyal to the govern
ment which shelters them.
In no other country on tho face OF the earth
would the enomies Of government be permit
their malignant purposes These rebels and
their sympathizers plot against the administra-
ton with the view Of causing an outbreak in
The North, making, as was seen at Niagara late
ly, bunoombe peace propositions through the
philosopher Greeley aud the great philanthro-
pist Colorado Jewets, for the purpose Of work
ing upon the copperheads and the ultra peace
men to the detriment Of our government and
in favor OF Davis. These rebels, their sympa-
thizers and foreign journals should all be sup.

Copperhead Sympathy for Blair.

COpperhead Sympathy for Blair.
The Keokuk Constitution has discovered
that Secretary Chase is villain, and he de-
rives his Information from Frank Blair.-
When Blair went into the House of Repre-
sentatives, and took his seat on the Copper
head side of the House, among the Woods,
Coxes Longs and voorhees,, we thought q
change had come over the spirit Of his former
anti-slavery dreams. His Congressional
course during the present session has been
infamous, and if any additional weights were
. necessary 20 sink him to the lowest depths
OF political degradation, the copperhesd press
Of the North are furnishing them. Blair was,

led Freedom to Victory in ST. Louis. AT
last his vaulted ambition has o'erleaped itself,
and he has fallen; among the friends Of Human
Freedom, no name is held in greater execra
ton than that of Frank Blair. He has turned
his back upon all just political principles,
and becomes the weapon in the hands Of the
couotry's enemies to assail the pure and in.

The CHEMISTRY OF MEDICINE Among the
special delights which have so richly repaid
our visit to New England was the inspection
it was our privilege to make of DR.. j. c..
Aver 6 Co.'s laboratory, at Lowell. Al.
though we knew by hear-say, that it was
large, yet we were surprised when we came
into view Of its real magnitude, and still more
by the extent and complication of its truly
immense business. The whole massive
structure is in fact one vast chemical abora-
tory, in which the processes of this wonder
full art are constantly going on. Medico-
cherhical science has found that the curative
properties of any substance exist in some one
or mo.e Of its component parts. Thus the
remedial effects Of opium are due solely to
the morphia it contains, although this is but
eighteenth part of its weight; the other
seventeen parts are gum, extractive and inert
or offer sive matter. De A, er's system sep
crates the medical properties of each sub
stance employed, and we are here shown the
processes by which the virtues of each rem
edial agent are chased through the alembics
until they como out completely pure at last.
These concentrated purified medical proper
ties. or virtues, are finally combined together
to produce the remedies which have made
themselves reputation for unrivaed excel
lence. all over the would. Not only does the
| Doctor diselaim all secrecy in his art and ex-
plain every process and every particular, but
he maintains that this is the only process by
which the people can be supplied with the
best possible remedies for the treatment of
disease. The Formula by which his remedies
are made are published in the medical Jour-
mails, and have been presented to large part
of the medical Faculty of the United States,
and are constantly sent by mail to such ply
sicans as apply for them.-Daily Chronicle,
