A New aiWjatei OF Life"

The Gettysburg (Pa.) Star
speaks of a strange omen which
has appeared on the battle field
near that place, and is now puz-
zling the brains of the good people
in that part of the country. 1t is
that of a spring of healing waters,
of such marvellous properties, and
with such a strange history, as it is
claimed, can only be accounted for
on the hypothesis of its being a
supernatural production, and for a
'providential purpose. The Star
thus describes it:
While it possesses all, and more
than all; the medicinal virtues of
the best mineral fluids, its sensible
properties are those of pure spring
water, from which it is no way
distinguishable except by its effect
on tile human system-an UMPIRE
cedehted and hitherto deemed i'm
possible combination. Previous
to the battle of Gettysburg, it was
known to many Of our citizens as
q sulphur spring, possessing all
the offensive properties of its tribe;
since which time it has undergone
the marvellous transformation
which is now witnessed. As this
water combines the virtues of two
kinds used by man as o nourish-
ment and as a medicine, it is MAIN
tanned that it is pre- eminently en-
titled to the designation of a wa
ter of life; and its appearance on
this battlefield, where were con-
fessedly decided the monentous
issues involved in our civil conflict,
is hailed as a sign of national de.
liverance and regeneration by all
who are superstitious or who yield
to that species of exaltation which
the subject is SO well calculated to
inspire. The strange spring has
been visited by thousands of per-
sons during the last few months.
and the desire to see it and to par
take of its waters has assumed the
form of a mania, which is rapidly
spreading among the people. 1t is
situated on the Mclean farm, near
where Gen. Reynolds fell, and
where occurred some of the most
memorable incidents of the great
battle.
This mysterious water has been
analysed by Prof. Mayor, of
the college at this place; but while
chemical science fully explains its
medicinal virtues, it is wholly 81
lent as to its sensible properties
which exclude it from the category
Of known waters.

The Eldorado Iowa. Ledgergives
an account of a man living in Har
din county, who is said to be
stronger than the celebrated DIR
Winship. His name is Walter
Hadlock. He was o member of
Co. c, Of the 9th Iowa infantry
During tile march of Sherman's
army to the sea he lost his right
arm in q skirmish near Macon.
He seems to suffer but little incon-
venience from the loss, and chops
wood with his left arm. 1t is no
unusual effort for him to cut and
cord two and half cords per day,
and he offers a wager of fifty dol
lars that he can split one hundred

People Starving in Ala
bama.

The Huntsville Independent
contains an appeal in behalf of
the people of Marshall county.
Alabama, who are represented as
starving. The Judge of the
Court of Probate for that county
cerriies to the following:
"Of helpless INDECENT people,
without any means of support, in
GLIDING white and colered, there
are twenty-one hundred and eigh-
ty perSons-women, children and
infirm men. Of persons who are
able to work, but have no means
to purchase supplies for carrying
on farming operations, there are
families embracing about two thou
sand persons, white and black.
IOf the residue of the population,
not twenty have means more than
adequate to their wants. Aceor-
ding to the census last taken, III
1860, the population of the ccun-
'ty, white and colored, was about
eleven thousand, at this time is
not probably more than nine
thousand five hundred persons.
The Independent states that
Judge Wyeth, of Marshall coun-
ty, has visited Huntsville in be-
half of his people, and has re-
ceived liberal contributions in pro-
visions and money. The indie
pendent says 'Judge Wyeth will
visit Nashville and other points
North of this, and present the
the cause of the destitute to the
people, and we commend him as a
worthy christian gentleman, hav-
ing the entire confidence and es-
TEEN of all who know him."

1t is the opinion Of physicians
that cholera will visit the Uni
ted States during the present
year. 1t is certain that this
epidemic has been steadily
travelling from the far East in its
usual course westward, and if it
reaches this country the present
season it will, in all probability;
make its way to this District,
within a few weeks. In such an
event, it is also probable that its
most numerous victims would be
among the colored people.

if possible, the introduction OF
prevalence of this scourge, Super
intendents of this Bureau, in all

will, without delay, institute the
most thorough sanitary measures.
The premises occupied by freed
men must be. policed and put in
the best possible condition by
cleansing, white-washing, etc.
Let particular attention be CIV
en- to the cleaning up of filthy
streets and alleys, dirty sewers
and t-bdildings.
Over-crowded, halflighted and
ill-ventilated huts and cabins in
vite not only cholera, but all other
diseases of its type. All surplus
population in cities and towns
should seek the country without a
single days delay. Good country
homes can, with proper exartion,
be procured for all who are not
well provided for.
The medical officers of the Bu-
reau will provide and place with
in the reach of the freedmen the
best remedies known to arrest the
disease in it's early stages.
Superintendent will see that
the freedmen are made familiar
with the best means of protecting
themselves against the invasion of
the disease.
Let there be appointed in each
city and town Freedmen's SAM
tary Commission, composed of five
or more of the leading freedmen,
who will be authorized to assess
and collect the sum of one dollar
from each colored person between
the ages of eighteen and sixty
years, residing in said city or town,
or within one mile of town or
city limits, to constitute a hospit-
al fund.
The funds so collected will be
deposited in savings banks, sub
ject to the control Of the commits
sion for hosnital purpose only.
The cooperation of the civil au-
thorities will be invoked, and Su-
perintendents will assist municipal
and other officials in every prac-
ticable measure for the preparation
Of the people for any emergency.
There will be appointed one or
more inspectors for each denselyI
section, whose special
duty will be to see that the meas
ures indicated in this circular are
thoroughly carried out.

Some objections to the
So-caned Civil Rights

So-caned Civil Rights
Bill.
So objectionable are the features
|of the Civil Rights Bill, which has
just passed the U. S. Senate over
the veto Of President Johnson,
that the Hon. John A. Bingham,
of Ohio, one of the most radical
Republicans in the House, felt
called upon to denounce it. He
said:
off civil rights has this extent,
what, then, is proposed by the pro-
vision Of the first section? SIM
ply to strike down, by congression-
al enactment, every State cohsti-
tuition which makes a discrimina:
ton on account Of race or color in
any Of the civil rights Of the citi-
zen. | might say here, without
the least fear of contradiction, that
there is scarcely a State in the I'm
ion which does not, by its consti-
tuition or by its laws, make some
discrimination on account of race
or color between citizens of the
United States in respect of civil
rights.
;, ~ =
''By the constitution of my own
State, neither the right Of the
elective franchise nor the franchise
of Office can be conferred upon
any citizen Of the United States,
save upon a white citizen of the
United States. What do you pro-
pose to do with this bill? You
propose to make it a misdemeanor
punishable upon conviction by fine
and imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary, for the Governor of Ohio to
obey the requirements Of the
State, which requires that none
shall be elected, and, therefore,
none commissioned to Office in that
State, save white citizens of the
United States.
-
"If the bill Of rights, as has
been solemnly ruled by the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
does not limit the powers of States
and prohibit such gross injustice
by States, it does limit the power
of Congress, and prohibit any such
legislation by Congress.
"But, sir, on yesterday, the
honorable gentleman from Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Broomall] than
whom there is no more candid or
just gentleman in the house, treat
ed this measure as though it was
a bill simply for the protection of
freedmen in their rights for the
time being in the the late insur-
rectionary States. This is great
mistake. 1t applies toevery State
in the Union, to States which have
never been in instruction, and
is to be enforced in every State of
the Union, not only for the pres
ent, but for ell future time, or un-
til it shall be repealed by some
subsequent act of Congress. 1t
does not expire by virtue of its
own limitation; it is intended to
be permanent"
