AWomnn m n Horrible Situation.

Mrs. VIM. Evans, of Mercer coun.
ty, c. W., a woman of SO, has had a
difficulty in her stomach for several
years, Lately physicians have deci.
ded that the trouble is occasioned by
live and growing snake in the
stomach. 1t has now grown so large
that it distends the stomach so as to
produce bunch upon the outside as
large as a quart bowl. Pressing this
bunch with the hand the reptile re.
coils and produces great distress in
the stomach. When fish or meat is
being cooked in the room, if the
snake is not satisfied with food, ii
rises up in the throat, producing
strangulation. When desiring food,
it manifests it 10y rising up in the
throat. Physicians see no way in
which this snake can be removed
without certain death to the woman.

Henry S. FoOie.

Amongst the items Of news by the
steamer Africa from Liverpool, publish
ed Yesterday, was the announcement
that the Hon. Henry S. Foote had is
sued in London an address to Tennef-
scans repudiating and denouncing the
rebel government. OF course his con-
stit,serts viii be eager to see what he has
to say. A very large proportion of them
had preceded him in cutting adrift from
the rebellion. They viii be glad to
congratulate him on his conversion.
There are others, however, wilfully
blind, who cannot see the truth, and
who yet have hopes of Southern indie
pendence, and the reduction of their
freed negroes to slavery again. These
will curse the honorable gentleman, and,
in theprivacy of their secret councils,
denounce him as renegade But, he can
console himself for their denunciations
by the reflection that they represent q
class whose opinions are not, st this
time, of any consequence TO anybody,
and that they themselves will soon pass
into Oblivion.
But what does Mr. Foote propose to
do2 1t is something in his favor that
he has had the good sense 10 repent
it will be better still if he should en-
desYor to atone for the wrongs he has
done his country.
Before the war ne had frequently
held high positions 1t is possible that
he had been honored beyond his de-
serts. Certainly he had acquired in
some degree honorable fame, clouded
though, il must be confessed, with a
sepecis of noioriety not very creditable.
Whatever of real fame he attained was
the result Of efforts to perpetuate the
National Union and to render disun-
iohism odious. Had he, in 1861. been
true TO his principles, aud 10 the Union
had he been willing to make great
sacrifices 70 preserve his consistency.
whilst maintaining the cause Of Ameri-
can freedom and republican institu-
tions-he might have won noble re-
nown, and placed his name on the cat~
alogue of statesmen and sages, who viii
forever be lights and landmarks in our
history Il would have been batter,
for one like him, to have suffered mar
tyrdom in the cause Of justice and
right, than TO have been made a leader
in 6 revolution, begun without reason,
and persisted in from motives the most
discreditable. Doubtless he now sees
his error, and if truly penitent, de-
serves pity and forgiveness. But he
should do more. Others we're led
astrAy by him. To win back such of
them as are left, is an object which
should engage his particular attention.
A lifetime Of atonement could not con-
pensAte his country and his bereaved
fellow-countrymen for the blood he has
been instrumental in spilling. Yet it |
Is possible for him to redeem lis name /
from dishonor, if not to regain public
respect and confidence Let him make
the trial

The ARMY Of the Potomac.

1t is affirmed by those familiar with
the facts that the Army of the. Poto-
mac never eyinced state of efficiency
to be compared with the present The
discipline maintained is severe and ex-
acting. 70 the invincible spirit and
perseverance Of General Grant is this
result attributable. The army has been
carefully sifted, and numbers Of incom-
petent and insubordinate officers re-
moved or punished, and it ia s unit
for all practical purposes. In numbers,
too, it has been greatly strengthened.
The constant and universal drill which
has prevailed, has made efficient sol
diers of the rawest recruits, and the
whole rank and file may be regarded
IS veterans. When this army moves,
Lee will find it a vast improvement
upon that which withstood his onsets
in the Wilderness last May, and gradu-
ally pushed him back TO Richmond
Conscious of its own power, and eager
to rival the spirit and dash, the fOrti-
tude and endurance of Sherman's
world-renoWned legions, it viii fight
with greater courage and obstinacy,
and more successfully, than ever before.
The drying winds Of March will pre-
pare the soil Of the Mother Of States
for their martial tread, and, when
Grant gives them the word, they will
90 forth TO aid in the final extinction
of the rebellion.
