would Have Been the Better
Policy.

1t is the opinion of The Sandushy Regis
ter that for General Cox, ''it would have
been, perhaps, better line of policy to
have only discussed the issues in the plat
FORM" Poor Cox! How badly he must
feel that his elaborate letter, which he
thought to palm off on the people of the
State as a master stroke of craftsmanship,
finds favor scarcely anywhere. We are
very thankful to the Abolition State Central
Committee, that it did not put paddock on
him, as the Wing State Central Committee
succeeded in doing when Seabury Ford
was a candidate for Governor. The Ner
York Tribune hopes and trusts General Cox
may yet, despite his unfortunate letter, be
elected. evidently The Tribune is by no
man.

FEMALE EMIGRATIoN.-Sinc the days Of
Mrs. FARNllAM project, some years ago,
to carry a ship-load of young women to
California, for the consolation of the lonely
miners, We have heard of no similar enter.
prise until now. The authorities of Wash.
ington territory and the governor of Massa-
chusetts have been negotiating to supply
the Pacific coast with female cnigrants, that
sex being very scarce in that region. The
governor has got together three hundred
females, whom he intends to send in a
steamer provided by the government at
Washington. The steamer will sail from
New York on the Goth of August The
emigrants are promised, when they get to
Washington territory, good wages to be
paid in gold, and have the added induce.
ment of a probable marriage within three
months, if they wish.

The compound is pronounced by medical
men one of the most judicious ever prepar-

must be borne in mind that it is medicine
which should be used discreetly, although
no one can be harmed py it if they follow
the above directions. A few doses gener-

MANUFACTURES IN TENNEssEE.-O of
the largest and finest rolling mills in the
United States is already in operation in
Chattanooga, Tenn, which is daily turning
out the best quality of railroad iron of the

plation, and copper rolling mill with
$l,0o0,00o capital is soon to be put up in
the neighhorhood. A large blast furnace
will be commenced in the fall on the Ten

EPIDEMIC AMONG HOUSES. There is a
fatal epidemic raging among the horses in
some parts Of the State, which we find thus
described:
The disease is mistaken for the common
horse distemper, and is often neglected till
too late to be remcdicd. Veterinary sur
geons say th NE disease is quincy in an
epidemic form, which runs twenty one days.
At first there is swelling of the throat,
followed, toward the last stages, by swell.
ing of the head and limbs, which proves
fatal. Owners of horses attacked by this
disease should lose no time in securing the
services of an experienced veterinary sur.
geOn.

The Influx Of Negroes into Ohio.

The Louisville Democrat estimates tha,
over 10000 slaves have crossed over the
Ohio river, under Gen. Palmer's passes,
since the first of May. At this rate the
whole slave population of Kentucky would
pass away in less than one year. and be
distributed through Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois; curse and charge to the community.
The number of negro passes on the Cow
ington and Newport ferry boats to date
from Kentucky, is l,4SO. Cincinnati is
crowded with them.

THE INDIANs.-A New York newspaper
publishes statement compiled from docu-
ments in the Indian bureau, from which it
appears there are from 40 to GO different
tribes, numbering altogether about $50, ,Oo0
We apprchend that correct count would
show this to be an underestimate. If there
are not more than $50, 900, it would not be
much of task to collect them together and
provide for them homes and government
which would forever release the settlers on
our western frontiers from their ravages.
Its reported that Generals GRANT, HARNEY
and HEBRON, and the commissioners of In
dian atfails and the land Office, are to meet
Il number of tribes at or near Fort Gibson,
on the lst of September. There should be
immediate steps taken to collect and colonze
the tribes, and we hope these gentlemen
will present the sub bject to those whom they
are deputed to meet. The expense of guard
ing our frontiers each year would cover the
outlay VIC should be obliged to make in
providing the Indians with suitable terri
tory and maintaining them until they coult
take care of themselves without our assist
ance.

The TOMATO AS FooD.-A good medical
authority ascribes to the tomato the follow
ing very important medical qualities:
lst That the tomato is one of the most
powerful apericnt of the liver and other
organs where calomel is indicated, it is one
of the most effective and least harmful
medical agents known to the profession.
I'd. That chemical extract will be OBJ
tanned from it that will supersede the use Of
calomel in the cure of disease.
3d. That he has successfully treated
diarrhea with this article alone.
4th. That when used as an article of dict,
it is almost sovereign for dyspepsia and in
digestion.
5th. That it should be constantly used
for daily food. Either cooked or raw, or in
the form of catsup, it is the most healthy
article now in use.

H. PAINTER, Of this charge, has proven
quite acceptable to the people, and we be-
lieve it to be the general, if not the univer-
sal desire of the people that he be re-
turned. The course pursued by Mr.. CARD
has not been calculated to benefit the Church
nor the cause of religion. What little tai
ent he has runs to politics. We believe it
to be the general wish that he he sent to
some place where small men have some val
ue and negro preaching is admired.
