FIVE. Among the cardinals, there are four who mum
Der more than eighty years. twelve who are upwards

A NEw HEALING PowER.-An assistant surgeon,
writing from Gettysburg, says that what water is TO
a wound in an infamed state, coal oil is in a suppl
rating state-it dispels flies, expels vermin. sweetens
the wounds, and promotes "A healthy graduation.
He states that he has seen patients. whose wounds
have been dressed with il, asleep before he was
through with the third. This is a remedy easily ap-
piled in our hospitals. If it serves to keep away flies,
it will add materially to the comfort Of the wounded
as well as their cure.
A LESSON IN SPELLING The Boston Courier
makes fan Of a learned disquisition in the Philadel-
phia Press upon the pronunciation OF the maine kear-
sarge. The Press expresses il phOneticaliy in three
syllables Rear sar-gee with a hard 81 The
Courier says -" Ii is amusing TO know. in the face
of all this erudition, that the people who live around
the mountain in question know it only as Rear-sarge

spelled"
CYRUS W. Field, ESQ, left ST.. Johns, n. F., Fri
dlv for plaeentia Bay. HEARTS Content il the Mace
where the Atlantic cable will be landed. Mr.. Field
proposes to build a land line there TO Placentia, one
hundred miles in length and over a good road the
entire distance. y cable will connect Placentia Bay
with Cape Breton. Capt. Orlebar, of Her M~ajesty's
steamer .Hargareha Stevenson, will meet Mr.. Field
at Placentia, TO make soundings.
A PRUssIAS AUTO DA FE-Mr. Punch has fallen
a victim to his irreverence Of dignities. He has
made fun of the King and people of Prussia. and
after being solemnly tried by the chief tribunal of
Berlin. with closed doors, he has been sentenced to
be burned. As in order to burn him the worthy
Prussians will first be compelled to buy him, We dare
say the unprincipled offender will make light of the
flames in which he is to be consumed. The wisdom
displayed in this case by the Berlinese reminds one
OF the financial vengeance exercised upon the Bank
Of England, by an indignant gentleman. who thought
its privileges a monopoly. and attacked its credit by
destroying all the notes on which he could lay his
hand!
ArLASTA.-The importance Of Atlanta can hardly
be over estimated. The Savannah Republican con-
siders no portion of Georgia safe, if that stronghold
cannot pe held. III Iranticaily calls upon every man
in the State 10 hurry TO its rescue. Ii says
There is not n man in the State who is not direct
~ interested in the result, for the triumph of Sher-
man involves the ruin OF US all. No man will have
anything that he can call his own. Everything will
be held at the mercy OF the merciless foe, and We
may read our fate in the bitter experience of thou
sands who have been brought under the abolition
yoke
FOREIGN VIEW OF RETALIATION. The London
Daily -Ners in commenting upon the Fort Pillow
massacre, says % there can be doubt that under the
organized laws Of the Government of the United
States it is perfectly entitled TO visit such an atrocity
with signal retaliation. IL adds The right Of retail
alton under such circumstances not only exists, but
has been repeatedly exercised in some instances with
very considerable success. During the Peninsular
War, for example, the Spanish commanders COM
PEELED the French Generals to respect the lives of the
Spanish peasantry by notifying them that for every
peasant found murdered two French soldiers would
be executed. The murder of the peasantry by the
French soldiers, which had previously been common
enough soon ceased after this intimation had been
given and acted upon in q few instances.
HARD UP.-The " local" column of the Richmond
Examiner lately furnished the following facetious
item
