TRoURLE IN THE WEST.

There is to be trouble in the West on
the niger question. The poor white
trash" of that region will yet find them
selves in sympathy with the poor white
trash of the South, and we shall not be
surprised if we see in the course of half
a dozen years, a powerful organization
known as the "Poor White Trash" party.
A correspondent writing from Peoria
county, Illinois, informs the La Crosse
Democrat that business of all kinds is
very dull in that section, and that there
is much suffering among poor families,
who lack the very necessaries of life
there being no work for them to do. The
prospect for the future would not seem
to be very brilliant, taking this fact as
an indication. Two of the leading men
of the party of great moral ideas, Mr..
Fox and a Mr.. Hoover, with view Of
keeping the white trash" crowded down
still further, have recently sent for three
hundred of Abraham's pets to be distrib-
uted through the county, with the view
of still further reducing the wages of
poor laboring men and women, unfortu-
nately born with white faces. The first
lots of these darkies arrived in Chilli
cothe few days since, and were accom-
modated with quarters in a first class
hotel until they we're sent for from the
country round about The balance of
the "mokes" were expected TO arrive
the frst of the week. Some of the poor
dupes, compelled by poverty to compete
with these blackamoors, begin to open
their eyes to the fact that they have
4" purchased too much pork for their shil-
ling" or, in other words, that they are
receiving little more of the blessings
of Abolitionism than they hoped for
when they voted "loyally."

PREACHERS IN TROUBLE.

A Western paper says: During
Wednesday night of last week, three
trains arrived at Junction City, Kansas,
which had been twenty-five hours block
AIDED in a Snow bank, six miles east Of
Wamego. One train, on board of
which we're two hundred Methodist
preachers returning from a Conference,
had been blockaded so as to permit Of no
egress. whereby food might be obtained,
and there was nothing on hand, except
one hog and seventy dozen eggs. With.
out attempting q repetition OF the
miracle Of the FIVE loaves and two fishes
the clerical gentlemen went for thes'
edibles, which, from an account pub
lisbed BIZ one Of their number, they dis
cussed in a very unclerical kind Of way

SOUTHERN pEsTIrurION.

The editor of the Peoria Democrat
says that "when recently in the city Of
Washington, in company with Col. Nc
Quade. Congressman elect from Florida,
while returning from the White House,
that gentleman said: Sir, you know
nothing of the suffering of our people.
l tell you on my word of honor, as
christian gentleman, that know, of my
personal knowledge, hundreds Of fami-
lies, who, before the war, lived in afflu.
ence and wealth, are now in a suffering,
and, l regret to say, in many instances,
a starving condition. They know not
one day, when the last morsel is put
upon the table, where the next is coming
from. You here have plenty to eat and
good clothes to keep you warm-we in
the South have neither. The men were
killed in battle or crippled for life, and
the women and children are unable to
make a living from the scanty means at
their command. While this gentleman
was thus talking tears rolled down his
cheeks, and we could but feel and know
he was telling US the truth. From all
quarters similar news reaches US of the
suffering of the poor and the destitute
condition of the people in the South.

Latest Fenian News.

New York, March 20.-Nine car loads
of United States troops, forming an ex-
ira train, yesterday passed over the Hud-
son River railroad The men are fully
equipped and had with them all the ne
cessary baggage for campaign. They
are destined for Oswego, and are un-
doubtedly intended to operate against
the movement of the Fenians which may
be attempted on the frontiers of Canada.
The Fenian news by the latest dispatches
give little or no encouragement to the
Brotherhood. There is a perfect stag
nation in the excitement which
prevailed during the last week,
and the belief is becoming gen.
eral that nothing like an, insurrection
was intended in Ireland, and that what
ever disturbance occurred was quickly
and easily quelled. The movement on
Canada is, however, attracting more gen.
eral attention, and its Inauguration is
believed to be near at hand. The city
of Montreal has been in a state Of the
most unwarranted excitement for the last
two or three days. The most startling
rumors were set afoat, to the effect that
the Victoria bridge or the powder maya
zine was to be blown up. An extraordi-
nary cabinet council was held, and it
transpired that more troops had been
telegraphed for to England.

IL misfortune to contract the accursed dis
ease, known as venerial in any form, you can
be cured U care not in what stage it may pre-
sent itself, whether primary, secondary or ter
tiary) without taking one solitary grain OF
medicine. After ten years of close investiga-
ton and practical experience, am convinced
that internal treatment, for the purpose of eff
fecting permanent cure of syphilitic diseases
Is useless, and, that in a large proportion Of
cases, it absolutely does more harm than good
While undor my method Of external medica-
cation, which Is pleasant and agreeable to the
patient, defy competition with. any other
method known TO the medical profession, for
speedy and ornament cure-which guarantee
in all cases. In making this important fact
known to the public, / wish to state that ] am
n regular practitioner of medicine that l am
a graduate Of the Medical Department Of the
