The AnaPPrOHEiatoess of European
Rfeeoapufs


From the LonlOn Du,y Ns~s. lime 161
One of the wort serices Which our pub
lie writer's could lende to Mr.. Davis would
be to urge European Fecedents and prin-
ciples upon the American Government at
this conjuncture al wothy of its imitation
and adoption. There has already been
tOomuch of a dispoition 70 take this course.
When the government of the United
is told that in puishilg Mr.. Davis it
would be guilty of a unparalleled crime
1t is natural that thee who are shocked st
so reat perversioi of the Truth should
revive the record ofbvenk in our own his
tory in which the inaetion of extreme
penalties for rebellion hs been approved
by our most enlightened md liberal histe-
rians. A correspondents lately called at.
tention in our columns T. the opinions of
Lord Mahon and Hallam IN the execution
OF the Jscobites q ia, and another
TO day recalls the orSnionf neId by British
ministers as to thepropG manner of dis
posing of Napole1 Jonsparte. These
instances may fairly be sdduced to rebuke
those who foolishly pretend that it is the
common practice inEurtpe TO permit the
leaders of great rebelionito 90 away with
no other punishment than defeat But we
should be sorry to le,ve tie country IN this
position. If Mr.. Dgis i to be saved it
must be by the exerdse msgnanimity
of which no State O European Christen-
dom affords an example; and the Ameri-
cans are a people d bo much original
ability not to be sbleto scertain for them
selves the course With becomes their
character in their prsat situation.

Our Dead in he wilderness.

The New York Ee-aLFs Washington
correspondent gives h' following particu-
lars in regard to the expedition which had
for its duty TO rehury0 or heroes who fell
at the Wilderness and mark their graves
The expedition rpeDtly sent to the
Wilderness to reinter and remark the
graves of those killed in the battles there
last year have accomplished their work,
and yesterday returna to this city. The
whole affair was undg the charge of Cap
tain James M. Moore Acting Qusrtermas-
ter. The first regimHt of General Han
cocks (the First) corp under command of
Colonel Bird, were employed in this duty,
which they pertOrmet with much credit to
themselves.
The operations Wee commenced on the
18th inst, and continued without inter-
ruption until last Saturday, when their sad
duty was completed. They commenced
operations on the eeItrsme erightRnd worked
around to the left. All bodies which had
not been properly buried were reburied,
and in all cases where the graves could be
identified neat heslbOsrds, painted white,
were placed over them, with thename and
regiment inscribed Where it was impos-
sible to identify the graves they we're SIM
ply marked as 'gnited State soldiers
unknown" On tie extreme right two
sites for cemeteries were laid OFT and en-
closed by neat Whit fences. 0e of these
is on the Orange Court House red, a mile
ami half from the lacey Houa and the
other on the Orange Court Hose plank
road. At the junc.iol of these two roads
guide. .boord was put up directing visitors
to the cemeteries. Tie 3mains { all those
who we're found not poperly inferred we're
placed in the cemeteries. The nmber of
bodies found unburied was not as large as
has been represented, and there was no

NEwToNVILLE, Nov. 10, 1856.
DR. LIGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Allow me to
express my grateful thanks for the skin
and kind attention rendered 10 my daugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some.months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
loss of this important sense is certainly
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and 70 degree known only to those who
have experienced it. II, therefore, there
be a remedy for this great evil, the cause
Of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony to the
happy efeots of your treatmeHt and RENEE
dies. Ny daughter has suffered from deaf
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously Affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss ct hearing. It
wus with extreme difficulty that she could
participate in the conversation of her
friends, and for two years has been de-
prived of this source Of social enjoyment.
Happily my attention was directed to your
advertisement, and was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
care of kind Providence, has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, so far as I can judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. Wheth-
er this restoration is permanent is q ques-
ton time alone can determine, but present
results are certainly very gratifying.
am, dear Sir,
Truly and gratefully yours,

of w. c0zzsns continues. Lsst night
three of the Sherift's deputies proceeded
to Provost Marshal Frinks headquarters,
with orders to arrest that officer. They
were driven away by the Provost guard

till to, morrow at nine o'clock, when the
Sheriff will probably call on the citizens
to aid him in arresting the Provost Mar

whether application for assistance, to

The Ohio Statesman is engaged in the
lsudsble endoavor to excite jealousy be-
tween the Northern and Southern portions
of Ohio, by parsding in its columns indi-
vidual sentiments of Republicans North
and South Of the National Road, as ad-
verse principles, indicative of irrepressible
antsgonism between the sections. It Is not
strange that q paper, whose every express
sion indicates its modification and dis
pleasure at the suppression of the rebellion
by an anti Copperhead administration,
should endesvor to excite new sectional
division, in the hope that its party may
profit by the division. The people have
studied the history Of the past with little
profit, if they can be deceived by such

1t will be recollected that General Gus
ter's horse was the object Of much remark
on the day of the grand review in this city,
both because Of his splendid appearance
aud from the fact of bis having run away
with the General on his attempting to re-
ceive q wreath of flowers presented to him.
This horse was captured in Virginis last
year, and is valued st $1,000. Yesterday
the original owner of the horse, upon es-
tablishing the fact of his loyalty, obtained
from the Secretary of War authority to
take the horse wherever he might be found.
The Government stalls here were unsuc-
cesafully searched, and the man finally as
certsined that his horse had gone to New
Orleans with the General. The d.sconso-
late owner follows immediately Washing

DEAR SRI take much pleasure in
informing you that my daughter is much
better Of her deafness under your trea.-
menk She had the scarlet fever when five
years of age, which left her hearing seri
ously impaired, which seemed also to be
settling down into permanent, and, as we
much feared, perfect and incurable deaf
ness.
We were nots little fearful and unbe-
heving in say efforts to cure the case, hay-
ing previously applied to other physicians
without success. But under your treat
ment We soon found evidence of decided
improvement. The offensive discharge
soon changed and indicated q healthy,
healing process. We are get making use
of your prescription, and we hope you viii
not fail to visit these parts sgain soon, as
