ifsome Northern and Western people
are surprised to learn that there are in
stances of as many as 10000 cattle

no doubt be more surprised 10 hear that
such men hardly ever have milk or
butter on their tables. In an adjoining
county, says the Tunes, where the num-
ber of cattle given in for taxes exceeds

ERRORS OF FINANCIAL THEORISTS. Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Mr.. McCulloch, in his Fort
Wayne speech, spoke of q redundancy of the
currency and of possibility that 1--WE should
wake up some fine morning and find our prop
erty worth apparently good deal less than
at present" This speech was delivered nearly
seven months ago, yet what is the prospect to-
day Of the "waking up" which the Secretary
anticipated The fact Is Mr. McCulloch did not
comprehend the resources of the country, and
especially the immense value Of the cotton OF
the South. The country has been wonderfully
prosperous, and Is 30 to-day, in spite Of the
most tremendous and exhausting war the world
ever Witnessed; and whys Our liabilities
abroad have been promptly met, our securities
have gone up in the markets of the world, the
currency has been falling all the time toward
a specie level, commerce and trade have been
most active, and the Treasury has been filed
to a surplus and why Mr.. McCulloch and
those financial and banking theorists who pre-
dicted revision and all sorts Of disasters did
not take into account the cotton Of the South,

gilmore value than five or six years. crop Of the

They seemed to have lost sight Of this product,

superficial the public men Of our country are
on such questions Where would our credit
have been. what would have been the deprecia-
ton Of our currency, and how empty would

West Point Military Academy. West Point has
proved very instructive military alma mater

such geniuses as Grant, Sherman, Lee, Ma

The CONDITION or MExrco-Although the
.latest news from Mexico IL little mixed, COM
ing az II does from two Numerically opposite
sources-the imperial and the liberal sides-we
are inclined to think that affairs in that country
bear favorably upon the Juares cause. The
news which comes by way Of Havana repre-
sents series of victories for the imperial arms,
while the Intelligence received by the Mexican
Minister In Washington speaks Of the defeat
Of Maxmilian's forces at the cities Of chihuahua
and HidAlgo del Paral, the occupation Of the
whole State of chihuahua by the liberal troops,
and an open rosd TO the city Of Mexico Il
may be said that the news via Havana Is
CLEANED almost exclusively from the imperial
journals which reach there from Vera Cruz,
and they are entirely In the interest OF The em-
pire. In fact The liberal papers from the in
terror are more ~ Ness suppressed by the poll

COMMANDERs OF AMERICAN MERCHANT
SrEAxERs.-The loss of the steamship Vera
Cruz on her passage from this port to Vera
Cruz, attended, as II was, with such evidences
of gross negligence or ignorance on the part
of the commander, should admonish UNDER
writers and the mercantile community inter
ested to be more careful in the selection Of
ofsccrs for their steamships. It is, Of course,
nothing dscreditable, but, on the contrary,
highly commendablc, to find a commander
uniting the pecuniary qualification with the
necessary abilities Of practical seaman and
navigator when he assumes the control Of
vessel on which the safety Of many lives and
pending. But II should not be prerequisite
that man must be possessed Of money suf
ficient to buy an interest in lines Of steamships
in order to secure o command. Many poor
men, capable and reliable navigators, are often
neglected in the selection of commanders for
our ocean steamers. The French system is a
good one for adoption. II may not be as
thorough rs that Of the English. but II Is one
that commands the admiration Of travellers in
Oriental waters Far above the English, In the
Indian Ocean, the steamers commanded by
Frenchmen are esteemed by passengers. They
have better accommodations, and there is more
attention paid to the comfort OF passengers in
French steamers going to any port in the East
Indies than there is in any steamer In the Eng
lish lines. Our policy is to examine the points
where the steam marine Of any foreign nation
furnishes suggestions that can be adopted by
us. In England and In France there Is IN Ad-
miralty Board which investigates the capacity
OF seamen before they are allowed 70 command
an ocean steamer. Why cannot we have ore

are BEAUTIFULLY approaching specie basis.
Nothing can check this career of prosperity
but insane legislation in Congress that may
stop the industry of the South. If that valua-
BILE section Of the country be soon restored
and its immense resources developed as a
natural consequence, we need not fear any
"waking up" as to the value Of property or a
financial revulsion.

ADVERTISEMENT ExTRAORDINARY.-The joint
committee of Congress has now been looking
around for nearly five months for reconstruc-
ton plan and have been unable to find one.
They have applied to the negroes for plan,
which only resulted in one or two Of the men,
bers catching the disease which is now preva-
lent among the colored population. They have
applied to the spiritualists, including Robert
Dale Owen, and have found 1t impossible to
obtain anything from the spirit land satisfac-
tory to them. Senator Stewart and Hangman
Foote have made several efforts to help them
out of their difficulty, but all to no purpose.
Even Ben Butler, fresh from his Dutch Gap
Canal, has been appealed to. He has, 1t is true,
furnished the most sensible plan, in some par
iculars, Of any yet proposed by the radicals.
II has one very essential point to recommend
it, and that is q change Of the Cabinet But this
does not suit the Reconstruction Committee,
and they are still open for plans and specifica-
tons. The one hundred or more constitutional
amendments fail to reach the point. The result
of all this is that the members OF the Committee
have lost their temper and are in danger OF
losing their character and standing in their
party.
To prevent this calamity liberal reward
will be paid to any person or persons who will
present plan of reconstruction that will re-
lieve them of this dilemma. For particulars
and specifications in detail apply to Thad
stevens, Chairman Of the Obstruction CON-
mittee, House Of Representatives, Washington,

Psi Is essential that all who intend to
present plan Of reconstruction should hand
In their documents on or before the 18th Of
May next Those received after that date will
not be considered.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is q constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, Il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor Is there one which IL may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending T" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have farless power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
ore still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
i'll this scrofuous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous |;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

Compound 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
bined 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 affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERurrIv.
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTMoSy's FIRE,
RosE, or EnysIPELAs, PMrLEs, PusTuLBs,

RHEUMATisM, SyrmrIITIc and MnncunIAL Dis
EASES, DnorsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED OR 1MrURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "iu,pmity ofMe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa.
rilla is to purify and regencrate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
