ANTIDoTE FOR PoIsoN.--For acid aud eorro-
sive poisons, mix two ounces OF powdered chalk
or magnesia, or ounce of washing soda, With q
pint of milk and swallow at one draught then
tickle the back of the throat with feather or the
finger, SO as to produce vomiting. Afterwards
drink frequently of hot milk and water and repent
the vomiting as to wash out the stomach. ANY
quantity of chalk or magnesia may be taken, but
soda in large quantities is injurious. Except the
narcotics, milk alone is good antidote for almost
all poisoDs, especially if followed by vomiting

AN ExPosE-A communication is published
in the Raleigh Confederate, dated ''Brinkleyville,
N. c., March A." and signed Van H. Manning,
exposing the conduct of J. M. Leach, who is now
candidate for Congress in the 9TH District. The
writer states that when Leach was captured in
February March, 1868, (whe on visit, we
suppose, to Mississippi) and carried to the yankee
General Grants headquarters on the Mississippi
River, he (the said j NJ Leach) "expressed him.
self repeatedly and unreservedly in favor Of the
Federal Union; boasting that he was the last man
in North Carolina to quit struggling for its cause;
that be held himself ready at all times to renew his
efforts in its behalf when the opportune moment
should arrive"
"His Oeach's) language was so Extensively pro-
voking to Lieut.. Col. Taylor, Sd Ark. infantry"
says Mr. Manning that he (Taylor) openly de-
nounced him and asked they should be separated,
which was promptly done Col. Taylor being close
ly confined and j NJ Leach being granted privi-
leges suited to his avowed loyalty to the Federal
States"
If J. NJ Leach acted as this writer charges, he
ought not to be allowed to 60 at large, much less
canvass the 7th District for a seat in Congress.
And if man who has acted in that way should
unfortunately be elected to the Confederate Con-
gress, we hope the true men of that body will cx-
pei him as soon as he takes his seat.
Mr. Manning says that this expose of Leach
wonld have been furnished by Col. Taylor, but for
his absence at present with bis command in the
army i'll Tennessee.
