The New York Daily Times urges an end to be
put to the war. Speaking oft, it says that it is
war Of conquest and determination" and that
otis advocates recall and shame the days of the
| Huns and Visgoths." The Times gives the fol-
lowing picture of the state Of affairs it has produc
| ed in the North:
| "The Administration is perpctully exercising
military ana forcible control over the ballot box
| not only in the border States, but n those most
remote from the scene of conflict. Here, in New
York, ma or general of the United States over
| rides, with 'mtary necessity" the functions Of
| the Governor of New York and the laws and tights
of the State and its chief municipality. Every
days telegraph brings us tidings Of ssme outrage
committed by the returned sodery, for opinions
| sake, upon peaceful private ctizens-some politi-
cal meeting dispersed some Democratic press de-
sroyed. The financial excuses Of the Adnlnlstra-
ton plling up. day after day mountains of in
debtedness, which, sooner, or later, must toppe
over and crush us. There is not an acre of land
in the whole North-not ware 16lso, dwelling,
a factory-whch Mr. Chase is not covering every
| week, with new mortgages, each heavier than the
last Meanwhile, the cost of the commonest ne
ceSsaries of life is becoming frightu to the poor
aud the enormous superabundancc of paper money
is stimulating extravaganza and speculation to the
maddest recklessness every element of demorali
cation is at work to corrupt the people; public vr
tue appears to have sold itself, and private integri
ty, and even chastity, are besieged by the most
tempting and unprecedented allurements. The
whole people, in fine, appear to have Joined hands
in an Infamous saturnalia' Of blood and moral or
physical debauchery The very capital of the Re-
public has become but gigantic brothel, where
Iewd and desperate women scarcely rival, in their
shameless way, the moral prostitution Of the Lcgis
latiVe and Executive Chambers
Is this exaggerations Let the reader who thinks
SO spend but a week in Washington, or explore
New York for but day.

A SUGGESTION TO RAIL RoAD OFF1cERs-The
frequent occurrence of accidents on Rail Roads by
,he breakage of wheels, admonishes more precau-
ton. A wheel may be cracked or otherwise dam
lives, and from flaw give way on the road and
throw the train off the track and cause the death
OF some ofthe passengers. Such has been the case
twice recently on the w. & NJ r. R., and at least
the last case was an old crack in the Wheel which
caused it to break near this place. killing soldier
instantly. l have been informed by gentleman,
that in Europe that they have man to go round
and strike each wheel with hammer before the
trains move out of town. and it is told by pecu-
liar ringing sound of the wheel, whether it is in
good condition or not. would respectfully sug-
gest the same plan to Rail Road officers 10 this
country. J. r. b.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

Judge Halyburton, of the Confederate States
District Court, delivered, on the 18th, long and
able decision sustaining the constituohality Of the
act suspending the writ of ha6eos corpus.
The case, for the petitioners, was argued by
Hon FL S. Foote, r. T. Daniel, F. L. Smith,
Eaton Nance, John Fl. Gilmer, D. Mari and f.
Orvis, and for the Government by P II. Aylett,
Esq, who associated for the Government Judge
Monroe, the venerable and distinguished Judge
for many years, of the District Court of Kentucky
The argument of the case occupied nearly two
weeks, aud the following points were insisted upon
iby the counsel for the petitioners:
1st. That the law was unconstitutional
I'd. That if constitutional, the court could never
7theless go behind the return in any case in which
a party was detained by authority of the President
Secretary of War, and inquire into the facts OF
each to ascertain whether these were sufficient
grounds for detention.
The court, in opinion rema rkable for its learn
ing and ability, oyerruled all the objections to the
act, and remanded the petitioners to the custody
of the proper oficers-Richmond Enquirer

PLANK ROAD TO FERRYsBuRo. We
learn that an effort wilfbe made to get
a charter and appropriation Of land 70
aid in constructing plank road, from
Muskegou,to Ferrysburg, when the leg
islature convenes. Muskegon needs better
connection with the outside world and
the rest Of mankind. In summer the
propellers render good service, but even
these are not daily nor very regular. A
railroad from this place connecting with
the Detroit and Milwaukee, is our greati
est need, but plank road will give ds
easy access to the railroad aud is more
easily had in war times. IT'S thought an
appropriation may be obtained Of swamp
lands to aid 10 constructing the proposed
plank road, instead of for the contem-
plated State Road, The route Of, which
passes over soil Of such a nature as 10
render plank or corduroy necessity. II
is also thought that the stock over and
above the expected appropriation, neces.
sary to build the road, will be paying
nroo. 4 fNail eA ttt hlJh
II Good roads, school houses, churches,
and county buildings, always add more
than the cost of their construction to the
value of real estate, and their construction
never impoverish people, No man in
purshasipg real estate but looks TO the
means Of access. Let every Muskegor
man appoint himself a special committee
on the plank, road and work for;it with a
determination 70 accept no issue but sue.

NYMPTOOTS.

The symptoms of Catarrh ms they generally
appear are very slight. Persons find they have
cold, that they have frequent attacks, and are
more sensitive to the changes Of temperature.
In this condition the nose may be dry, ora
slight discharge, thin and acrid, afterward be-
coming thick and adhesive. As tho disease be-
comes chronic, the discharges are increas ed in
quantity and changed in quality; they are now
thick and heavy, and are hawked or coughed
of. The secrctions are offensive, causing bad
breath /; the voice is thick and nasal the eyes
are weak the sense Of smell is lessened or d.
stroyed; deafness frequently takes place. An
other common and important symptom of Ca
tarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear his
throat in the m9InDg of n thick and Shiny md
cous, which has fallen down rom the head dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the per-
son may be sure that the disease Is on rs .wssy

THE COUNTRY DESIRES PEACE

The masses OF the people, North and
South, want peace. Their hearts desire
and prayer to God is that the ancient
blessings of concord and fraternity shall
be restored TO the country at the earliest
practicable period. Had Gen Mcclellan
been elected, this desire would have found
a method of practical expression through
which peace and restored Union could
have been, speedily secured, His defeat
has in no degree lessened that desire. 1t
is becoming more intense than ever
Even in our own State, radical rs Michi-
gan is known to be, the honest masses Of
the republican party, no less than the
eighty thousand democrats, love their
country and desire return Of peace and
lhs old Union restored, more than they
like war and destruction, North and South,
to enforce the impracticable theories con-
tained in party platform. The expert
ences of the last four years have prepared
them, TO prefer country to party. That
the people Of the country are prepared to
reject the radicalism that is "the primal
:. -
cause of all our woes" and prevents
peace on the simple basis Of the Union,
is indicated by the following article taken
from newspaper that has hitherto been
one Of the most radical republican papers
in, the State. Says the Owosso Press:
There are very many persons who
have believed that an offer from our gov
ernineut to allow the rebels to return,
imposing no other terms than the Con-
stitution contains, leaving their State
laws and State rights, as heretofore reor-
gahized, in full force, would be accepted
by the several States in the rebellion
Such substantially was the proposition Of
Gen. Buffers speech, 10 which he is sup
posed to have indicated the policy Of the
new administration. We are 10 favor of
making them an offer rs generous as will
comport with safety Of the object to be
obtained. We are 10 favor Of it because
the experiment ought to be tried, SO. that
il any good will come out Of it in dis
tracing our enemies and thus Fastening
their own downfall, we shall have saved
some sacrifice Of lives; because it is due to
the judgment of a large and loyal por-
tion Of our people, who have faith 10 its
efficacy, and whose judgment is entitled
TO respect, and whose heartier support we
shall obtain by SO doing; because after so
much has been said as to the purposes Of
our government, they should be- made
known to the world, and especially to
its own people; and because il can do no
harm" .nre y ts" ni is
