From Harrey SicIler, Esq, the able editor Of the

- Our only child, about three years of age, was
attacked by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed lOathsOme and virulent
sore, which covered his face, and actually blinded
ms eyes for some days. skilful physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his
hands lest with them he should tear open the fes-
tcring and corrupt wound which covered his whole
face. Having tried every thing else we had any
and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you
direct. The sore began 10 heal when we had given
the first bottle, and well when we had finished
the second. The chids eyelashes, which had come
out, grew again, and he is now healthy and fair
as any other. The whole neighborhOod predicted
that the child must die"

Paris, May 18th, says that an important discus

1. That there Is no thought of Intervention
In America. a,1 10 9sodl ea afrn efft az ..,,r'

each other on the subject of Mexico, and that
such was the fraternal feeling which had al

We can say that tho enclosed quarters used
during the winter for recruits have always been
the neatest and most comfortable quarters ut

oughly cleaned and generally whitewashed
this spring. while the grounds by careful po-
Icing have been kept free from filth. The
location is healthy; there have been no cases

In our paper some time ago, stating the
particulars Of couple of women at Youngs-
town. Ohio. whom their neighbors choose to
consider disrepntable characters. being taken
from their beds and tarred, feathered, and
otherwise abused by some women of the same
place. The abused women. instead Of bearing
their wrongs patiently, commenced suit aginst
their prosecutors. After patient trial, and a
great deal Of testimony the jury returned q
verdict In favor of the plaintiffs, of twenty 1--we
thousand dollars, against seventeen persons
who participated IN the assault. "A new trial
was asked, which the court ordered in case the
defendants frst gave ,&1O, 900 bonds. Judging
from the testimony, the penalty was none to
severe, and 1t is to be hoped It will not be

why the Red River Campaign Faile

why the He'd River Campaign Failed
A correspondent Of the New York Tribune
attributes BANKS defeat to two causes. LIST,
Delay. ed, Reckleesness. Had the army
moved ave days earlier, the enemy could easily
have been beaten at every point, but that Eve
days delay gave time for reipforcemeuts to ar
rive from Texas. and for the cavalry to get
mounted Then Gen. LEE was sent forward
with our cavalry entirely unsupported, with
positive instructions to attack the enemy
wherever he could find them. When the UNI
fortunate attack was made, the greater part of
the infantry were a whole days march in the
rear. For these reasons the expedition failed.
The correspondent, who dates New Orleans,
May 18th, adds: ' - =, .'- =. ~. i i
lis well known that attempts have been
made to fasten some blame 10 this matter upon
Gen. A. f.. LEE, the commander Of the cavalry
forces He has been relieved of HE command.

quiry to investigate his share iQ this fight. and
by this means we shall probabably soon learn
who Ia really to blame for the great disaster.
