COnlpGnnd Extract of SarsaparilIa,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
binad from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue OF the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure OF
not only Scrofula, but also those other affee"
tons which arise from it, such as ERuPrIvs
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNYs FIRE,

weak. and poor. Being in the circulation, i
pervades the whole body and may burst ont
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which 1t mary
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dia~
ordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ali, by the venereal infection. What.
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the COM
stitution, descending +" from parents to childrsa
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, az
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upea
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from tbs
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, m
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swelllngs; and On
the surface, eruptionS or sores. Ibis foul COR"
rupton, which genders in the blood, depressss
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constta.
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint IN tn
system. Most of the consumption which de-
cImateS the human ldiillly has lto VI
in this scrofulous contamination; and MANY
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed of all the organs, arise from OF
arc aggravated by the same cause. as

their persons are invaded by this lurking in

Gen. sheridan's Report.

In order that the following from Gen.
Sheridan should be fully understood, 1t
should be stated he was absent from New
Orleans when the disturbances commenced
in that city;
New ORLEANS, Aug. /, l:30 P. NJ.
To Gen. q. s. Grant, Washington:
You are doubtless aware Of the serious
riot which occurred in this city on the Both.
A political body styling itself the Conven-
ton o. 1864, met on the 3Oth, for, as it is
alleged, remoddeling the present constitution
OF the State. The leaders were political
agitaturs and revolutionary men. The ac-
ton Of the Convention was liable to pro-
duce breaches Of the public peace.
/ had made up my mind to arrest tho
head men if the proceedings Of the Conven-
ton were calculated to disturb the tran
guilty Of the department, but / had no
cause for action until they committed the
overt act.
About forty whites and blacks were
killed and about LOO wounded. Everything
is now quiet, but | deem it best to maintain
q military supremacy in the city for q few
days, until the affair is fully investigated.
! believe the sentiment Of the general
community is great regret at this unneces-
sary cruelty, and that the police could have
made any arrest they saw fit, without sacri-
fciDg lives. P. Fl, SHERIDAN,
Major General Commanding.

A Federal Generals Estimate of the
Courage and Character OF the
South.

General r. P. Blair, in conservative
Union speech at St, Louis, few days ago,
paid the following compliment to the
Southern States:
They have evinced courage and endurancei
by theil gallantry and long suffering in this
cause, so mistaken, and SO erroneous. and
so criminal, they have shown themselves
to be the equals of an equal number Of any
men upon God Almighty's globe. APP
plause. fhosewhe have contehded against
them are those WHO are readiest to admit
that they have Shown themselves to be the
equals of any other people IN the world.
Applause. Not only have they shown
themselves ready to admit that these men
are their equals, but they have shown them
selves the readiest to overlook the past,
and forget what there is need of forgetting
and to receive these men back into the
Government, with all the rights and dignity
of their respective States unimpaired,
simply requiring from them upon the pledge
which they will give, that they viii renew
their allegiance to the Government of the
United States. Applause.] Cannot We
trust that pledge # these men will give it
to us? Have we not reason to believe
that they are men of sincerity ? Can, We
not confde in these brave men? ! say
that we can. [Applause.l | say that this
is the only way in which they can be
brought backinto the Government and bound
to it by the links of gratitude, stronger
than any links Of steel that can be wrought.
Applause.
And now will ask, what foreign nation
is there on earth that wonld not be proud
and happy to receive these people and give
them all the rights of citizenship enjoyed
by any of their citizensi Applause
Would not France be eager to do it?
Would not Great Britain be to proud to
extend her dominion over that proud coun-
try, sharing her Government with those
gallant, noble men who have, vindicated
their rights to manhood in this contest
unparalleled in the history ofwar? Would
not any foreign nation gu the face Of the
earth be willing to receive this people?
Not receive them on degrading terms. but
receive them in open arms upon an equality
with her other citizens.

avowedly on the ground that a conyen

ayowedly on the ground that conyen-
ton regularly called, according to law,
would not do the things he desires to
have done. The extraordinary conyo-
cation of that exceptional body was
necessary to accomplish the disfranchis-
ing of the people Of the State, whom he
has since found to be in opposition to
himself and his friends. It does not
enter into his consideration of the sub
.ject, that the Convention of 1864 was
originally an exceptional body without
precedent; that its functions were
long since extinct, and that there is no
person in existence, least of all himself,
that has any lawful power to call it into
existence, OF help it in its career; and
he seems so unconscious OF the enOr-
nifty of his avowal as the Governor OF
State which is in theory republic,
that he has recourse to such means, be-
cause he knows that the existing gov
eminent, in all its forms, and the peo-
pie, if they were summoned now, would
reject the Jacobin proposition he pa
tronizes.
The Governors special pleading to
relieve his associates from the response
bility for the outbreak ON the 39th, may
be left alongside of the exposition we
have already published by the Attorney
General and the Lieutenant Governor,
and to the facts as they will appear in
evidence.
His plea is, however, not made up
for this region, where all the facts are
known; and the Governor, his associa-
tons and his designs are unknown. He
does not expect to alter the popular
Judgment, pronounced upon him, as
faithless to his pledges, calumniator
of his conntrymen, and a willing servi-
tor of the basest Of their enemies. 1t
is made to be used elsewhere-a piece
of testimony-got up on the Merritt and
Conover pattern, to influence and en-
courage those who are plotting the de-
gredation and ruin of this State IN. O.
Picayune.

STOLEN SOUTHERN JEwELEy,-W Where to
Look For 1.-THE following is an extract
from letter from New York, published in
the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist on the
4th inst
A Southern lady, on visit to this city
went to worship in one Of the uptown
churches. Soon after an elegantly attired
New York lady, of high social standing
entered the same pew and remained during
the service after which the Southern lady
called her aside into the yestry room, and
in the presence of the rector, with whom
she was well acquainted, thus addressed
her: Madam, do not wish to offend
you, but that shawl you are wearing belongs
to me-" The shawl was superb one.
The New Yorker protested, and declared
that there must be some mistake. eff
says the Southern lady, "you will examine
a certain corner, you will see my initials
worked in it, and the rector knows my
name very WELL" The corner was found as
well as the initials. The Southern lady
then remarked, "that ring you have upon
your finger is also mine. and if you will
lake the trouble to examine the interio,
you will see the same initials engraved in
| the ring" Similar movement as above
described took place, and with similar
results.
Turning to her again, the Southern lady
said =" Madam, that bracelet you have on
is mine also, and by pressing a spring on
the inside it will unclasp and show you my
portrait" The New York lady did as re.
quested, and there was the lady's portrait
She promptly returned the ring and brace
let, as she was convinc, d beyond the power
to controvert it, that they were the proper.
ty Of this Southern lady, and remarked as
she did, they are yours, and you are wei
come to them. but as wore the shawl to
church must beg the privilege of wearing
it home again." The Southern lady acced
ed, Of course, and they exchanged cards
The shawl came back in due time, but the
New York lady had probably obtained the
articles in such a manner as to render il
too unpleasant to divulge. No more was
said abont it. Moral If Southern ladies
want to know where their articles of miss
ing jewelry and wardrobe furniture are, lei
them attend some fashionable cup town,
New Y ork church, and if the men want to
know what has become of all their fine
horses, shipped North by army officers and
bummers," let them spend an eveniugir
Central Park.
