CHOLERA.

We give the following alleged
remedy for the Cholera, clipped
from the London Lancet. We do
not remember ever to have seen IL
before. The writer Of the article
tells the story rs follows:
III have for somo time treated
cHoLERA with Sulphmic Acid only,
aud | find it perfect specific. In
common cases of cholera / gave n
soruplc eff the diluted Sulphuric Ac.
id in an ounce Of water; my usual
form is diluted Sulphuric Acid, two
draehms; compound tincturo of car
damon, two drachms; water, 5
ounces and a half; with directions
to take two tablespoonfuls direct
~, and to be repeated after eve.
ry loose stool, or vomiting; and
every four hours afterwards, The
first dose seldom faile to stop the
purging or vomiting but still u lit.
tie nausea may be lat the stom-
ach, with little pa for which
reason direct the dbse to be re-
peated every four hours. | seldom
have occasion to prescribe twice /;
the bowels in day or two act Of
themselves, and the appetite quickly
returns. In severe cases where
there is violent cramp, l give first a
ldraught of half q drachm of the d.
luted Sulphuric Acid in one ounce
of water, and then prescribe the
above mixture. In case of collapse,
whore the pulse is scarcely percep-
tible with cold clammy sweats, and
a constant purging, &c, l give half
\ drachm of diluted Sulphuric Acid
in a tablespoonful of water, and re-
peat it every quarter of an hour,
I'LL first warmth gradually returns,
the piTging stays, and the pulse be.
comes stronger, when l gradually
give less doses at longer intervals ="
This letter was written many
years ago to the London Lancet
The learned writer goes on to speak
of the success of this treatment and
says that, though he had only seen
it used in his own practice, he new
er knew it TO fail. He used it in
the Cholera of 1882, and refers to
communication from DR.. Cox on file
in the Royal College of Surgeons,
advocating the same treatment. If
it DO half as effective as claimed for
it, our readers can not do better
than clip out the recipe and file it
away, to be tried in cases of emer-
gency. The editor of the New Or
leans Medical Journal says that Sin
the diarrhea of drunkards, and such
as may have frequent attacks Of
looseness of the bowels, with nusea
and vomiting, caused by the abuse
Of alcoholic drinks, Sulphuric Acid,
given in the usual dose will be found
almost certain cure"
Qucre for the Faculty: Will a
free use Of Sonr Lake water, inn
pregnated as it is said to be with
snlphuric Acid, be q preventative
Of Cholera?

CAPTAIN Wa(ldel1.


We extract the following from a
long and able defence of Capt. Wad-
dell, of the Shenandoah, in that
s'aunch Tory organ, the London
News;
Captain Waddell is called a pirate
But, even if he were guilty of the
crime laid to his charge of continu.
ing his career of havoc after he
knew that he had no longer coun-
try or a belligerent flag he would
not be a pirate in the ordinary sense
of the word Not only was he new
er guilty Of the ordinary atrocities
of piracy, Of indiscriminate plum
der and -blooded murder, but
his offence was essentially different
from that Of the bucaneer. If he
had done what is laid to his charge,
he would have done at sea what
men, reputed heroes and patriot
martyrs have done on land-main
tanned a guerrilla warfare in meae
desperation or for the sake of ven
gcanre, after hope was over and sub
jugaton complete. No doubt, in
the peculiar circumstances of the
South, such gurrilla warfare, even
on land, would have been uniustifi-
able; at sea it would have been still
worse. But even if for the sake of
vengeance on the destroyers of his
country, Captain Waddell had gone
on destroying their ships after he
knew that they had accomplished
their work, his crime would have
been essentially a political one; and
Enolishmen ,oiH never consent to giut
u@2olitical offenders. A ministry
which should resolve to hand ever
the captain of the Shenandoah to q
Yankee hangman must have made
up its mind to an immediate down
fall, and to indellible infamy.
This we have said on the suppo-
sition that Capt Waddell were guilty
of the act laid to his charge. But.
as we have repeatedly said, we have
good reason to believe that he is ut
terly innocent.
X X X
We believe that Captcin Waddell
will be able to prove. whether before
court Of law at ae the bar of pub
lie opinion, the truth of his asser.
aJsersthat he first received authentic
accounts of the collapse of the Con.
federacy from the Baracenta on the
3Oth Of August; and if he should
do so, though we know better than
to expect an apology from the Fed.
cralists organs which have so perse
veringly vilifed every soldier, sea.
man and civilian, in the Confederate
service, we trust the Pail Mall Ga

for very hasty and unwarrantablt
imputations on the character and
verscity Of the brave and loyal SER

Mn. DAvIs.--A correspondent of
the Picayune says the Presidents
reply to the Baltimore ladies, has
been wrongly reported. His words
were "Almost every arrangement
has been made for the trial of Mr..
Davis, but no one can tell what
changes may be brought about in
the course of q few weeks" The
same writer remarks:
The fact is, the legal difficulties
in the way of a trail which should
result in a conviction for treason,
were found to be insuperable, and
every plan that has been formed
for the trial has been successfully
abandoned. So far as the trial is
concerned nothing is now settled,
and it is believed that Jefferson Da-
Wis will be either Internationally
pardoned, or else put upon trial
with the full knowledge that the
trial must result in acquittal.

rhn nnttln Of snotiaYlvania.

Ghastllost' of all CHASTITY sights
upon this bloody field are the skele-
tons ofdead men broadcast over tho
land-the nations seed planted will
lingly for n glorious harvest Of I'm.
ion and pcacc--but never covered
from sight. Within n circle of one
hundred and fifty yards, whore an
unsuccessful assault was made upon
the encmy's works, | counted fifty
skulls, polished by time rejecting
grimly in the rays of the sun, as
they fell carclessly upon tho last
memorial of man. That these so re-
mained was doubtless due to the
fact that both armies moved away
Immediately after fighting, and have
never occupied the spot. But what
must be thought of the farmers who
left those dreadful souvenirs lie on
their grounds, / saw one plough
ing en- the same field where lay a
skeleton and he coolly told me that
when hc came to it he supposed he
would bury it,
Well do we remember the "unsuc-
cessful assault" referred to in the
above. All that human ingenuity
could invent or desperate gallantry
accomplish, were brought to bear
upon the Southern line Of entrench-
ments on that field. The Federal
columns were hurled forward with
the might OF an avalanch, until the
shock was so great that the very
earth trembled, A livid sheet Of
flame belchcd forth from right to left
like wall of fire. Ten or twelve
desperate assaults were made upon
different parts of General Lees line,
all of which were resisted success
fully. More conspicuous gallantry
than was there exhibited by the fed
eral troops, the worlds history will
never record; and if those deeds of
valor proved unavailing then and
there, it was no fault of theirs, but
that they were confronted by men
of prowess not less dauntless than
their own. There are men herea-
bouts who will forever entertain q
lively recollection of Spottsylvania
and the terrible struggle for mastery
there. No battle of that fearful
campaign beginning at the "Wilder-
ness" is fraught with scenes more
stirring than this one. Like two
giants, the two armies, than which
no more formidable will ever again
BIO marshalled on this continent,
met in mortal conflict, and the best
blood of our land ebbed in that
crimson tide.-Atlantd IntelEiqencer.

Stock and asold NIarIsets.

New YORK, July 29.-The Express says
there wasavery active demand for money
to-day, owing to the increased speculation
in stocks. The loans made early in the day
were ats per cent, but toward o'clock the
rate was advanced to per cent, but there
was money enough at this price. The de-
mand fell off considerably before o'clock,
and capital was offered more freely. There
is more commercial paper offering and less
to borrow. The rates are "a 10
per cent.
The stock market was very much unset
tied on the street after the o'clock Board,
and the usual Saturday afternoon rise did
not take place, for the first time in eight
weeks. An effort was made to rally the
market on Erie, and the stock sold to the
extent of 10000 shares at 96c cash, while
the regular price was 95Ja. Erie was
scarce towards the close OF the day, and
borrowers had TO pay 16@1x per cent. COM

general market was very heavy and lower,
with disposition to sell. The following
were the closing rates on the street at a p.

Also, the following from The Dayton Dat-

"HoME COMPANIES VS.. FOREIGN CoMPA-
NIEs.-Formerly our people depended en-
tirely upon Eastern Companies, for fire in
surance; but now responsible Home Com
panies do all the business. For equally
good reasons our people prefer Home Ac-
cident Insurance Company, incorporated
under Ohio laws conducted by Ohio men,
and with securities in Ohio, to any foreign
company, about the character and respon-
sibility of which they can know little or
nothing. The Ohio Company has only been
in operation little over two months, and
yet DR.. A. G.. Walden, the Dayton Agent
has issued a hundred and thirty-five poll
cies, giving insurance for nearly 100000.
No fact could better show the confidence of
ourpeople in the responsibility of this Com
pany.
Remember, that DIR. Walden is the
Agent for Dayton, with his office on Third
street, just opposite the Methodist Church."

NEW YORK, July 29.-The imports Of
dry goods for the month of July show an
increase Of about half a million dolIarf
upon those OF the same month Of last year,

OF July 1868. The amount entered for
warehousing Is much less than for the same
month of last year, while the amonnt en-
tered for consumption Is larger by s2.OOO,-

during the week Is $7,030,455, against
S33O229l for July 1854, showing more in
creased state of trade In the foreign dry
good interest than q year ago.
The imports for the past week show de-
crease OF about $800,000 upon those fol the
corresponding week of 1864. The weeks
