Is it not evident, upon the mere
statement of the ease. that Lincoln 5
amnesty was never expected or de-
signed 10y himself to have any other
effect than irritation and insult to the
Southern people? No one, however,
knows better than Abraham Lincoln
that any terms he might offer the
southern people which contemplate
their restoration to his bloody and
brutal Government woul ! be rejected
with scurn and execration. If. in
stead OF devoting to death our Pres
ident and military and civil officers,
he had proposed to make JEFF. Davis
his. successor, Lee Commander-in-
Chief of the Yankee armies. and our
domestic institutions not only recog-
nizel Mt home but re'doptcd in the
free States, provided the South would
once more cutter the Yankee Union,
there is not man, woman, or child
in the Confelcracy who would not
spit upon the proposition. We de-
sire no companion ship upon any
terms with Il nation Of robbers and
murderers. The miscrcants whose
atrocities in this war have caused the

When our only child, now in his
third ycar, was about eight months

pimples on his forehead over his nose
These rapidly increased and uniting
formed q loathsome, vlrulent sore,

and face, not even excepting his eye
lids, which became so swollen that
his eyes were closed. We called q

the usually prescribed remedies. A
solution OF nitrate OF silver was APP
piled until the mass OF corruption
which covered his entire face turned
Jet black. The sore again and again
burst through the scorched and arti'
fetal skin formed by this solution
Meanwhile many remedies were en-
ploye | without any apparent benefit
For fifteen days and nights he was
constantly held by his parents to
keep him from tearing open with his
hands the corrupt mass which cover
ed his face,
Everything having failed, we were
induced by the high recommends

cure of Scrofulous disease, to give Il
trial. In his treatise on Scrotula
