NeDT0 FROM n 00N. OAAEB.
Correspondesce Of the State Register.
Bosron, July ls, 1865.
While session Of the Adjutant Generals
Of the State Was being held 10 his city -
day ny mA.l fiom Lowe WAS banded TO me.
One lsstsr had the eaclosed extract without
stating nom what paper it came. l think
it is from Lyons City paper:
lkDissA9IoN MrErlxs.-We understand
that meeting Of Germans Was held, the
other evening, to consider remark sard %
have bsss msds BY Ajatsss General b.
ktS, At Clinton, on the 4th. II is asserted
that Baker incensed that the people we're
oil going through to Lyons to celebrate,
made the remark, in effect =" Nobody is
going to Lyons but the damned Dutch and
lrish rabble, and let them 90 they're only
only fit for bait for catfish snyway." An
effort is being made, We hear, 70 compass
his removal.
II does net seen creditable that any man
could have made such remark in speech;
and certainly, II uttered Is reported, it WAS
deroga,ory to shs dignity and character
which should grace the office BAKER occs
pies.
Another letter which received, states
that | made . similar statement in your
presence after your oration on the 4th inst.
The article is false all through. The
statement that made such . speech After
your oration IL . falsehood, and appeal "a
you and every man who heard me for ap.
proval Of my contradiction.
| left Iowa July 5th; left Chicago July
9Th, and came directly here. l can only eS.
press my astonishment that, during my ab
sence, any paper in Iowa would allow such
"siuff" 10 be published From the article
from some newspaper and the statement o
the letter. conclude that my remarks in re
lation of - alies01s' il the whole foundation
Of these falsehoods. did say:
"When our brave boys in blue were
fighting the battles Of the Union and more
to fiji the depleted ranks Of the Republic
and when there Was the preparation for ,
draft. there was class Of men among u
who did avoid their duty. Men who hav,
lsved IN the State ten Or fourteen years, per
haps longer, went before the Provost Mar
shals and plead "alienage." The men wht
could live among us for years, who coult
enjoy all the benefits Of our State and M
tional Government. who, in fact, enjoyed
the rights Except yoting) Of citizens; VII,
were protected by the Stars and Stripes,
and then when peril came to the old Flag
and the countrs's existence was endanger
ed, could plead alienage," were unwsrth,
cfa residence in our State, and were poor,
cowardly wretches. and the man who flee
from oppression abroad, and when our hour
Of danger came did plead allegiance t,
some little German principality, or som,
other power Of large dimensions, was moi
worthy Of the name Of an Iowan.
If an Irishman who had lived among u.
for years, who had talked about the oppres
sions Of England and the wrongs inflicted
ON Ireland, and who had enjoyed the pro
lection Of our Government aud our Flag fol
years. did, when the call Was made for vol
urteers, plead " alienage," he was an unwor
thy son Of the Emerald Isle"
II that Il heresy es treason, let my enc
mics make the most Of it during my al
sence.
Truly yours.

lhrkRRsfIHd ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERY IN THE
ISLE OF MAa.-At the seventh annual meeting
OF the Manx Society for the Publication Of
National Documents, held in Douglas on Tuesday
last his Excellenoy H. B. Loch, @. b., Lieuten-
ant Governor Of the Island and president of the
society, in the chair; DR.. j. R. Oliver, member
OF the council Of the society exhibited an ancient
yataghan, or Turkish sword, in an excellent
state Of preservation, which he had a few days
previously dug up In garden in the vicinity of
Derby square, in the suburbs Of Douglas. 1t
was about three feet long, and though thickly
incrusted with rust, had evidently been at one
time very formidable weapon. The blade was
from two to three inches bread and considerably
curved, especially at the outer end. Some
slight traces OF ornamentation were still visible
upon IT. although they were almost wholly
obliterated in consequence Of the protracted
period during which it had lain buried. This
/ hilt, which was made of wood, Wss about six
inches long, and had originally been protected
BY boss, but in an attempt to clean the
weapon this guard Was unfortunately broken off.
Dr. Oliver said he presumed this relic, which
was found at considerable depth from the
surface, must be accepted as u oorroboratiye
proof OF the truth Of the chronicle which records
that in 1644, the town of Douglas was burnt by
q hand Of Turkish pirates who invaded the
island, as testified by the pRroohial register OF
East Barnet, in Essex, where g collection.
amounting to el 7s. Cd. was made for the SUI
fering inhabitants Of the island A lengthy
discussion enHued, in the course Of which il was
stated that another weapon Of similar charao-
ter, but much larger in size, had recently been
dug up in the same locality By another gentle
man. who, unaware Of its historical Significance,
had tossed 1t away as worthless rubbish.

An REdLIsH CuRH ZOE DRUEKHSNEss. There
Is 3 prescription in use in England for the cure
Of drunkenness, by which Thousands are said to
have been assisted in recovering themselves.
The receipt came into notoriety through the
efforts Of John Mine Hall. commander Of the
Great Eastern steamship. He had fallen into
such habitual drunkenness, that his most earnest
Efforts to reclaim himself proved unavailiug.
At length he sought the Advioe Of an eminent
physician who gave him prescription which he
followed faithfully for seven monthg, and at the
end of that time had lost oil desire for liquor,
although be had been for many years led captive
by most debasing appetite. The receipt which
he afterwards published and by which SO many
other drunkards have been assisted TO reform,
Is as follows; sulphRte Of iron, 1--WE grains
maguesiA, ten grains peppermint water, clever
drachms spirit Of nutmeg, one draehm; twicl
day. This preparation acts as q tonic an,
stimulsni, and 30 partially supplies the place o
the accustomed liquor, and prevents tha
absolute physical and moral Prostration tina
follows sudden breaking off from the use o
stimulating drinks.
