Pardon of Mrs. IEsItcilins.

1t would be great satistactian to know
why the President has pardoned Mrs. Hutch
ms, a woman of Baltimore. who gave n
sword to Harry Gilmore, the leader of the
raiders into Maryland last summer, and by
reputation one of the most malignant of rebel
cmiSSarics and abcttors. Upon trial and
conviction she was sentenced a few weeks
since to five years Imprisonment, and now
she is turned loose again, nor is there any
intimation that she is to be sent beyond the
lines.
A woman like this Mrs. Hutchns may.
and constantly docs give the information that
Mosby and every guerrilla maraudcr most
desires, and which is of the utknost service
to Davis and Lee at Richmond. From the
beginning of the war, from Mrs. Grecnhow
down to Mrs. lIutchins, women have been,
because Of their sex. the most useful agents
been punished, although in few instances
they have been sent to the rebels.
How many precious noble, loyal life
have such women virtually taken TO how
many masSacrccs have they not directly
shown the way. Of what infinite sorrow to
private hearts, and of injury to the public
welfare, have they not been the occasion!
OF course in the absence of all other
knowledge than the public announcements
of Mrs. lIutchins' crime, trial. sentence,
imprisonment for five years, and release at
the end of five weeks. we have no right and
no disposition to do more than suggest that
iii such cases it is very easy, and would
greatly conduce to public satisfaction, if the
Government would state briefly the reasons
Of the respite. 1t would cost no more time
or trouble than the announcement that a
Colonel is promoted to be general for heroic
conduct in a battle, and it would certainly
greatly relieve the minds and hearts of those
whose sons and brothers may have been
killed in resisting Harry Gilmore's raid to
know why his accomplice is set free. The
fact of the release gratitics Mrs. Hutchins
friends. TO, know the reason would satisfy
the friends of her victims Unper's Weekly.

ITCH OINTMENT.

4 SAFE, convenient and t.iicacous rem
"A edy for that most disagreeablc and tor
menting dsorder-the ITCIi-has beef
always greatly needed but no one, it is
presumed, has before been discovered which
will certainly effect cure without having
ingredients in t. both disagreeablc and dar-
gerous. Those that have attempted lis ctro
with birthstone, have generally applied it
with mixture of hogs fat, or lard, worn for
several days, Oh dried in by the fire, either of
~lf'ch. exposes the patient to ti.G most imn!i-
ncnt danger of taking cold, by opening the
pores of the body, and at the same tina
impregnatng the blood with poisonous
quality, and weakening and debiltating the
whole constitution; others have used oin.-
mcnts which have either proved dangerous
to health, or insufficient to effect cure.
But this will as Certainly cure the ITCif
as it is applied; it is easy and safe for any
age, habit or constitution, and attended with
no disagreeable consequences of any kind,
either at the time Of using it, or at any time
after, as can be proved by thousands Of pcc-
pie of different ages, constitutions and states
Of health, who have used this ointment, and
have been cured by it:
No family ought to be without thi; yalua.
BILE medicine for, on the first appearance Of
this disorder, on the wrists and between the
fingers. &C., slight application Of this Oint-
lHent will ctIre it, and prevent its progress,
and likewise its being taken by others. it
may also be used as preventive, by toUci!-
ing the hands or the inside of the gloves once
in while with little oft, when there is u
suspicion that the disorder is prevalent, ard
there is danger Of taking it. For Allich rca-
son no people abroad on business, no student,
traveller, soldier or sailor, should be without
this Ointment, which is neatly put up in tin
boxes, convenient to carry, agreeable in its
smell, and will last good for long time. BY
this precaution, neighborhoods, societies ana
schools, might be freed from this tofhlenting
disorder. Should the patient have any
other eruption or breaking out which he
mistakes for the ITCu an application of this
Ointment will do no hatm, but often cures
the common breaking out, which arises lom
sharp, hot humor in the blood, and leaves
smooth polish on the skin.
There have been lnany Ointmcnts offered
to the public, for the cure of the IrCu, but
this valuable medicine bears no analogy to
them in its materials, use, or effects they
being generally made up of grease, brim-
stone, tar, mercury, spirits of tnrpchtinu,
salt petre, and such like disa greeable mater
ials, which are losthsome to use, and unsafe
and uncertain in all their effects.
