Loyalty in AsabaEisn,

Major Miller, Of Gen. Swayne's staff. was
sent, it will be remembered, on a tour OF
inspection through the Western part of Ala
bama, the scene of reported outragcs on the
freedmen. He left Mobile on the Sth of
September, with one company of mounted
infantry. The next day he arrived at Mount
Vernon, q ncighborhood in which the freed
men were doing well they were remaining
at home, and were generally contcnted.-
They mostly work for a portion of the crop.
varying from a tenth to a fourth, besides
food, clothing and quarters. AT meeting
Of the principal planters, Major Miller made
known the object of his mission. Near
McIntosh's Bluff, he saw by the roadside a
.ncw-made grave, and learned that it con
tanned the body of DR.. Gricrson, Union
man and leading citizen of Washington
county, who had been basely murdered few
days before. Efforts had been made by his
neighbors to arrest the murderer, but without
success. The Northern part of the same
county is in dcplorabc condition. Crops
are worthless, and lawless bands Of men 90
about robbing and taking life. Within fifteen
miles Of St. Stephens, fortnight before, a
negro, formerly the slave of Mr.. Fletcher,
returned to the plantation to get his wife,
He was resisted by his late master, who shot
him and afterwards cut off his head. A mill
tary force sought TO arrest the barbarian, but
he eludcd their pursuit. Affairs in Choctaw
county were also found in an unsatisfactory
state. Few are willing 20 accept the issue of
the contest. :" should eXaggerate little

In Clark county, the negroes were for the
most part prospecting and. concntcd, AT
Grove Hill, the capital, he received promises
of aid from several gentlemen of standing

Court, was particularly hearty. Here the

further on, his wagon-mastcr was shot dead
by two ru!lians on horseback, at house to
which he had gone for a drink of water.-
His wagons were scarcely out of sight when

West Point, which fully met the boys wish

eancy in the district at the tiI.c, Mr.. Grant
wrote to Hon. Thomas l.. IIamcr, who rep
resented the district, to inquire if Ulysses
could not be admitted to fill some other va

mer on the last day Of his term, and it hap
pened that the district had become vacant

to West Point, passed an examination, and

Autumn Signs.

Is there no lesson in the year
Running her latter seasons ont,
No type or shadow in our thoughts,
Whilst fading leaves are strewn about?
Surely We have a Sympathy
Made true by all our hearts have known,
OF faded hopes and ended joys
With dying leaves and flowers blown.
Are these not things that touch n spfng-
Were scenes, both sad and dear, are lain
In memory's immortal bower,
That makes the past come back again?
DO they not mind us of the time
When we must also leave the light
When the last bloom upon our check
Shall turn into deathly white?
When from its watch-towcr called, the soul
Like leaf falling from its bough,
Shaking and twning to its goal,
Must draw its gaze, and trembling, go?

The ChOlera-Tllc Icc-Bag REM
pdy.

In a letter to the Loq3on Times, DR.. John
Chapman gives an interesting account of the
result Of his treatment of the cholera pa
tents at southampton, by the application Of
ice-bags to the spine. lie states the points
Of his theory as follows;
That the nausea, romting, copious dis
charge of the well known "ricc-water
stools, cold sweat anl peculiar odor From
the body, are due to the combined action of
the hypcrwmic spinal cord and sympathetic
nervous centres. III tn, same manner as they
induce phenomena Of the like kind, though
less in degree, in case. OF Summer diarrhma,
and Of sea -s,cIincss when it is accompanied
with diaIrhma..
That cholera is not contagious nor infcc-
tous in any sense whatsoever, excepting
| through the depressing influence of fear.
That cholera may be completely aycrted,
and when developed, cured by modifying
the temperature Of the spinal region.
After detailing the symptoms of two cases
Of cholera which fell under lis observation,
DR.. Chapman offers The following suggestions
for the use of the icc-bag
/. The cold must be applied along only a
narrow strip-not more than four inches
wide in the adult--down Inc very center of
! the back.
,. The cold must be dr., not wet cold.
3. The ice-bag should lie continued along
the whole spine only until the cramps and
algidc symptoms have been subdued.
4. The ice-bag should be continued to be
applied to the lower half Of The spine until
vomiting and pursing cease.
5. The patient should be assduously
watched, to guard, in the stage Of reaction,
against cerebral or pulmonary congcstions,
the development of which will be facilitated
by continuing the ice toe longIin the ccryi-
cal and dorsal regions.
G. II such cong"stlons should occur they
will be denoted by heayiness, incoherency.
wandering, and by laborous breathing, and
may be subdued by applying the double
columned water-bag, at temperature Of l2l
degrees, along the lower part Of the neck
and between the scapulw.
I. If it lee necessary to induce sleep this
may be done by the same bag applied in the
same way.

vailandighanl on Democratic
Principles,

This individual, more than any other man
in Ohio, represents the sentiments of the
Democratic party. This is umdeniablc. The
leaders, governed by policy, may undertake
to ignore him: but whenever he appears in
the strongholds of the party, he is received
with the same enthusiasm with which he was
supported for Governor while "waiting and
watching over the BORDER The leaders
may adopt platforms which seem to conceal
their sentiments bnt when Nallandigham
speaks the Secession doctrines are blurtcd
out, and are received with appreciation. -
Therefore, it is important for the people,
who supported the Government during the
four years Of war; in which they succeeded
against the enemy in front and rear, to see
what the Democratic party, which sought to
make the rebellion success, is now aiming
at. Nallandigham, in speech delivered at
Bucyrus, Ohio, made two leading points,
one was q bitter denunciation Of the negro.
and the other was the Reputation Of the
national debt. This means, in the event of
the success Of the Democratic party, the re-
establishment of slavery, and the wiping out,
by ropudiation, of. the national debt. Here
we have the Democratic platiorm-thc real,
vital, living, speaking principles of the party
in nutshell. These are the measures adj
vocatcd by Northern Rebels, and if this
Rebel party succeeds it gains for the South
all that the latter lost by the war. Thus we
are forced to fight by the ballot the battle
which was so gloriously won by the bullet.

History of the Shenandoah.

The nitrate Shenandoah has at last arrived
loae having been absent since October IS.
1861, DURING which time she has been around
the world. sinking burning. DESTROYING and
bonding American vessels, Among her last
acts was the destruction Of our Northwestern
coast Whaling fleet. Some months ago she
was outlawcd, and now has the audacitv to
seek an ASYLUM under the protection of the
nag which aided, supported and guarded her
in safety until She could place herself be
vond the reach Of Federal cruisers.
The Sea King was built at Glasgow, in
October, 1868, and was registered as the pro-
pcrtv of William Wallace, banker, Of Lon
don, and others, her registered tonnage
being 100 tons. her combined power. being
200 horse. her framework iron. with wood
plankinn. On the 10Th of Scptcmser. 1864,
She was transferred by bill of sale to Richard
very near connection Of the rebel financial
agent in that town. On the 3Oth of Scptem-
Der, p. L. Corbett was endorsed as master,
and on the eth of October. Richard Wright
executed certificate of sale to Peter Luther
Corbctt. the master. empowering him to sell
the Sea King at any port ont of the United
Kingdom. for not less than El5.O00, within
six months from date of certificate. She was
then entered and cleared in ballast as an
ordinary merchant vessel at London for
Bombay.
In the meantime, another vessel, called
the Laurel. and owned by Henry Lafonc. of
Liverpool was taking on board all the ne
ccssary armament, stores &C., several rebel
officers, and a large number of men. On
the same day that the Sea King sailed from
London for Bombay. the Laurel sailed from
Liverpool for Nassau. The two vessels met
at Madeira, and from there proceeded in
company to an island near by, and there.
in Portuguese waters, the armament and men
were speedily transferred from the Laurel to
the Sea King, both vessels being still under
the British flag. The Sea King was then

flag, and set forth ON her piratical cruise -
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1865-12-02

The vessels in the above list were all de-
stroycd excepting the last four, which were
bonded, simply because WaddelT, wanted to
get rid of his prisoners. The war having by
this time been brought to a close, Waddell
was soon informed Of the fact, but he affected
not to believe this, as il was not to his inter
est to do so, but he still continued his plum
der and wanton destruction of the property
of American citizens. The British Govern
ment were at last compelled to dispatch n
vessel to put a stop to the rayagcs Of the
pirate. For the month or so her movements
have been shrouded in mystery, and the next
we hear Of her is in the port of Liverpool
| Her entire history is a fine commentary on
the manner in which the ncutratity of the
"motber country" has been maintained,
and it will certainly be strange if our govern
ment does not take decisive stand in the
matter.
