Vandalism.

General Sheridan, in his report of the
operations of his army in the Shenando-
ali Valley, SAYS: t.,o.--..,-
81 hare destroyed over t,0o thousand
barns filled NTH ,Oheat and hog and
farming Implements! and over serenity
mills fled Nth -four and whe0t! have
driven in front of my army over 1000
head Of stock, and killed and issued to
the troops not less than 10000 sheep!-
This destruction embraces the Lauray
Valley aud Little Fort Valley, rs well as
the main Valley. Lieut.. John r. Meigs,
my engineer officer, was murdered nj
Harrisonburg; and, for this atrocious act,
all tic houses lOithin an area of ire
males ,0ere burned" IA,
What picture on the page Of history
of civilized nation will this forml The
life blood Of generations TO come will cur
die when they read, and the blush Of
shame mantle the cheek for an ancestry
that could be guilty OF such atrocities!
The saVageS of the west are outdone.
When one of their number has been mur-
dered they think themselves avenged
when they have killed the perpetrator
and burned his house. But with US, in
the nineteenth century, surrounded by all
the lights of civilization and christian re.
finement, we GO to war with people, and
because one man is killed, "al the
houses within an area of five miles are
burned" Perhaps hundred, or five
hundred, or thousand houses are in
flames, and rs many families made desc
late, houseless aud homeless! Delicate
women and helpless children and the
venerable aged are turned from their
homes, their clothing, furniture and pro-
visions burned, and they turned into the
fields and highways just at the approach
of winter, with no roof but an incement
sky, no clothing, no bed, no tood-and yet
these are the people we are trying to win
back to love us, and live with us in the
bonds of brotherhood
We are warning upon barns and houses,
aud herds, and farm implements, and wo-
men and childrenI Similar warfare had
been waged in other parts of the South,
and towns and villages had been burned,
until finally in retaliation, and as a de-
fensive measure, the Confederates burned
Chambersbnrg. A thrill of horror went
over the country; but little reflection
showed us that we had invited and pro-
voked it, and the public sentiment grew
strong against such outrages, and il was
hoped that for the future the war would
respect non-combattauts and personal
property, and conform to the rules of civ
ilized warfare. Sheridan, by order of the
administration, has again opened the
deor Of vandalism, and should the rebels
ever reach Northern soil again, dearly
shall we pay for laying waste and tramp
ling upon the homes of the wives and
daughters of the soldiers of the Shenan-
doah.-LanSiilg Journal.

SYMPTOMS:

The symptoms of Catarrh as they generally
appear are very slight Persons find they have
a cold, that they have frequent attacks, and are
more sensitive to the changes Of temperature.
In this condition the nose may be dry, or n
slight discharge. thin and acrid, afterward be-
coming thick and adhesive. As the disease be-
comes chronic, the discharges are increased in
quantity and changed in quality; they are now
thick and heavy, and are hnwked or eoughed
off. The secretiOns IRE offensive, causing a bad
breath the voice is thick and nasal the eyes
are weak the sense Of smell is lessened or de-
stroyed deafness frequently takes place. An
other common and important symptom of Ca
tarrh IL, that the person is obliged TO clear his
throat in the moaning Of thick and shiny mu-
cous. which has fallen down roin the head dur
ing the night. When this takes plnce, the per-
son may be sure that the disease is ON its way
to the lungs, aud should loose no time in arrest
ing it.
