The OH Fever.

This fever, if rightly managed, unlike
most of feEers, may be q very excellent
thing for its victims. It Is fever which
does not lay you out bed-riddsn, in con
dition of boiling blood and seething brain.
You need not the horrid pills and powders,
great and small, Of the medical school to
cure you. On the contrary, it puts new
vigor into the system. Legs, that in
city need the aid of street cars, suddenly
become gifted with the locomotive energy
of BrobdignAg himself. They now, with
splendid energy, scour all the nooks,
creeks and gullies of Pennsylvania, Can
sda, West Virginia, Kentucky or Ohio
The mind, from being dull and plodding,
becomes lubricsted SO that all its wonder
ful systems of wheels and pullies, play
with magical energy. The eyes, hitherto
dull and vacant, become lighted up as
from inward confagrations. There is a
wild glare of feverish energy about them
which indicates that the whole man is
thoroughly aroused and spurred on by the
Strongest passion of the SOUL
the love of money. Brains hither-
to phlegmatic, become suddenly lu-
minous with manifold schemes and
plans, for dredging the Psctolian waters
Then, too, may you enjoy the supreme bliss
Of anticipation on a tremendous scale. 1t is
easy to look down perfectly dark hole
six hundred feet deep, listen to the bub-
bling gas, and see a fortune of million,
at least You can enjoy, over and over,
the sweet delusinn that yon ara among the
financial nabobs of the land, and dispense,
in fancy, thousands of shining dollars to
your friends and the poor. Magnificent
palaces, royal steeds in splendid vehicles,
foreign travel, books and the fine arts, are
ministering to you already, as you see
financial glory awaiting you in the dis
tsncs. Indeed, it Is q sweet disease to
have. 1t puts marrow in the bones, oxy-
gen in the blood, phosphorus in the brain
and electricity in the nerves. 1t disrobes
poverty of its grimness, makes present
suffering durable in view of the far more
exceeding weight Of bullion in the minds
eye Horatio."
The oil fever is a good thing to take.
We know it. We have had it. We sd-
wise our readers to take it. Have oil on
the brain. Have it in wells. Have it in
lands Have it in stocks. Have il in
banks, We assure you it is 8 pleasant
disease.

The FrI-partite Division Of Rebellion.
By the capture Of Milledge7ille and the
railroad south of that point, the dom1nions
of JEFF Davis are again practically divided.
By the opening Of the Mississippi, the re-
gion west Of it was isolated from the coun-
try east, and rendered the problem of final
ly subjugating the the rebels more simple.
Since then two great railroad lines have
bound the Atlantic to the Gulf states; the
line from Richmond to Memphis Uia Knox
vivlle, and the line running from Vicks-
burg TO Charleston. The possession Of
Of East Tennessee has for some time given
us the control of the first line. The seizure
of MscOn, Millen or the Savannah
river gives the control Of the second, and
practically divides the Confederacy into
two more parts. Mobile and Montgomery
have, to-day, no railroad connection with
Richmond. By thus dividing the task of
conquering is rendered more easy. Sepa-
rated for sny length of time from the head
quarters at Richmond, there is no opportu-
nifty for such revolutions to take place in
the popular feeling as have been manifest
cd In Missouri and Arkansas. Richmond
is also cut Offrom the very important base
of supplies which is found in central and
northern Georgia Herein we have the
tri-partite division of Rebellion into
the eastern, middle and western sections,
with all the consequences that may flow
therefrom.

The Proposed Society for Young Men.
We call particular attention to the card
of the Rev. j. q. Rylsnce. The project in
contemplation is certainly deserving the
consideration of every young man in
Cleveland. Much profit and pleasure
will ensue to all who will unite in carrying
forward an earnest literary association.

Hill to Abba barefoOted. Of course it 1eIl
to the lot Of the psrtizsu of General Nc
Clellan to perform this feat, and this morn
ing at ten o'clock was assigned for its
performance. But there was an alterna-
tive, which was quite important. The
loser could evsde the walking exercise by
paying an oyster supper as forfeit. He
proposes to do So and thus the funny fea-
lures of the case are spoiled. But there is
political sequel to the affair. The loser
is convinced. He has left the democracy.
The bet has made him better. he tells

The editorial concludes as follows:
Our own impression, however, is that
this expedition has bean undertaken with
a view to render assistance to Grant. Saw

ndPRovEMENTs AND CHANGES.
TIE LONDON SEWERAGE.

Most of our readers have heard for
years past of the terribly polluted condition
of the Thames, growing out of the drain
age of all the filth of the city into it. So
alarming did the evil become at last, that
there we're serious spprehensions felt CT its
producing pestilence, and the attention
of the Government was loudly called TO its
removal. After much discussion it Was
resolved to construct an immense sewer
along the river bank, emptying itself into
the stream at the ebb of the tide, far below
London. The necessary elevation was to
be secured by pumping at different points.
A portion of the work is already comp et-
ed, and about one-thIrd of the entire sew
erage is now discharged at Barking Creelz,
some miles below The city. The msgni-
tude of the work is wonderful. The por-
tion saw consisted of four tunnels rnn-
ming parallel with each other, and either
one of size sufficient to have had a train of
railroad cars through ii from end to end.
THE oUTGRowTH OF LONDON.
The facilities for getting out of town by
rail have induced quite rage for living in
the country, and to such an extent is this
carried, that for ten or fifteen miles in
every direction the country psrtskes quite
of the character of suburbs. Long rows
Of buildings are springing up, and we'll
paved streets lighted with gas are forming
in districts until lately quite rural The
buildings are generally very cheap erec-
tions, with 3 good deal Of plaster imitation
about them, though while new, having
quite q respectable air. Rents l consider
quite low as compared with houses of like

A STORY is told of the veteran Sumner at the
battle of Antetam. His son, young captain
Sumner, youth of twenty -one, was on his staff.
The old man calmly stood amidst storm of
shot and shell, and turned to send him through
doubly raging fire, upon mission of duty. He
might never see his boy again, but his country
claimed his life, and as he looked upon his
young brow he grasped his hand, encircled him
with his arm, and fondly kissed him. "Good
bye, Sammy" "Good bye father" and the
youth, mounting his horse, rode gaily on his
message. He returned unharmed and again
his hand was grasped with a cordial elbow dye
do Sammy ?" answered by grasp of equal af-
lection. The scene was touching to those around.

A CoNTRABAND SOLDIER AND HIS WATCH
A letter from of officers at Point Isabel,
Texas, among various anecdotes of our colored
soldiers, relates the following:
1t is amusing to see how completely non-pluss-
ed some of our privates are in the possession of
their money. Some never had a dime all their
lives to call their own and could not distinguish
one, two or five dollar greenback. One fellow
paid ten dollars for watch, and his Lieutenant
noticing it, inquired the time of day.
Lor Cap'n," replied the darkey, (they call
every officer cap'n) 81 dunno, dye spose 1 can
tell?"
why, for what did you waste your money
for a watch then?' asked the Lieutenant, where
upon the darkey broke out in loud laugh, as
he said, "Why, capn bought it so dey could mt
keep dis chile on guard ober two hours"

SOUTHERN ADvICE.-Mr. d. O. Humphrey of
Alabama, Democratic Presidential Elector in
1862 and since an active Secessionist, has issued
an address in which he defines his position and
advises the return Of the South to the Union.
He says the hope of foreign recognition has
proved failure The institution of slavery, for
which the South went to war; has been wrecked
and if the Union arms continue to prosper the
whole system will be- to use Mr.. Humphreys
phrase, unsystematized. He believed that
the South, by returning Immediately to the
Union, may receive the right of dsposing of
slavery in the manner best according with sur
rounding circumstances. On this great question
he says the South must make radical change
and ''if the voice of Christendom is against it,
yield to that voice as to the voice of God"

The PeonIe and the war.

The state of society al over the eoun-
try is affected by the war ia which lhs
nation is engaged, War is always
terrible evil. In Itself il has no feature
or tendency in the least degree desirable
or attractive to good and wise men IL
is 10 be only the very last resort, to be
avoided until forbsarancc would be al
lance with wrong But when Liberty
is 10 be destroyed, and Justice and Order
overthrown, and the rights of nan tram
Piled under foot, then patience is crime,
War makes men worse who are in
the sphere fits influence unless they are
purified and ennobled by the cause for
which the nation fights This war ought
not aud need not debase anybody in the
army or at home Never was sword
drawn for nobler cause We are fight
ing to-day for freedom, for civilization,
for religion. Those who march under
the nations banner are fighting for the
kingdom OfGod on earth, and no service
that Jesus ever asked Of man il holler
than this, TO stand and strike for our
country in this hour No conservation
eau be more acceptable TO our Heavenly
Father than the offering Of one life for
our country: Tor Our Country means
all tie memories which make the past
precious. all the worth of the present,
all the hopes which make the future
glorious
The defence, the maintainance Of their
liberties, is not only the sacred right OF
our people, but It is the highest of all
duties. Freedom is so valuable that no
price that it can cost can be too great
II a dozen nations were leagued with
our enemies against US, we could not
turn back. If the war had to 90 ON
until continents were depopulated, and
the old flag waved over nation of
women and little children, what we are
fighting for is worth so much that it
will always be worth fighting fer until it
is secured. II is wrong to suppose that
our people must be persuaded, or bFlbed,
or deceived into keeping up their patriot
ism aud going on with the gar. When
persuasions and exhortation are requir-
ed, the struggle will be ever already,
aud we shall have failed.
The American people will go on with
this war: they will never submit to trait
ors in arms. The manhood OF our Tree
men has not been fully tried The nation
has not yet been thoroughly aroused We
all long for the return of peace; We hope
it may come soon, but it may not There
NAV be something in the way Of our
speedy success which human wisdom can
not foresee, nor mortal power avert.
But those who think that II we fail in
the next campaign We shall never sue
ceed, 10 not know the temper OF the
American people. We hear men who
profess to believe in God and the right
eousness of our cause, declaring that il
the Operations of the coming Summer
