JohnsOn's AnOdyne Liniment is
the most deservedly popular medi-
cine of the present day. Its useful
ness is not limited to any people or
sect,-but it is used alike by the
rich and the poor, the educated and
ignorant.
Four little fellows at Rutland
Centre "went to sea" on a cake of
ice floating in Otter Creek last week,
but were finally saved and returned
to shore, although one of them, fall
ing from the ice into the swollen
stream, was only saved by the
bravery of a section hand, who
swan to the boys rescue, and by
throwing him upon another cake of
ice just succeeded in saving his life.
The Supreme Court will adjourn
April 4th, and no decision will be
reached on the Georgia reconstruc-
ton case, and probably none will be
rendered in the McArdle case.
MEXICO.-The perpetual civil war
in Mexico, which has been generally
suspended since the execution of
Macmillan, has broken out again,
and is being waged with considera
BILE vigor. The contestants ale AL
varez and Jiminez, both generals in
the liberal army during the days of
the empire. and the scene of action
is the small State of Guerrero, on
the southwest coast, and of which
the principal city is Acapulco, a
port of the California steamers
The quarrel between the rival lead
ers is purely a personal one, and of
the sort which in constantly dis.
tressing and disturbing the unhap-
Ply Republic. Alvarez has received
supplies of arms and ammunition
from his countrymen III San Fran
cisco, and has already captuaed one
or two large towns, and scenes of
brutal outrage and pillage are re-
ported. President Juarez should
take immediate and decisive action
for the eXtinguishment of these reb-
els, and for the peace of his coun-
try; his administration has given
good promise of life and success
now is its opportunity to show what
it is really worth, and what it can
do.
1t appears from recent statement
of Hon. Simon Cameron in the Sen
ate of the United States that Gen.
Robert f. Lees conduct at the out
break of the rebellion was even more
villainous than has generally been
understood. Mr.. Cameron was, it
will be remembered, Secretary of
War at that time, and had the best
opportunities to know whot occurred.
According to this statement Lee ac-
tually intimated a desire to be in,
trusted to the command of the fed
eral army in the field, and the posi-
ton was unofiicially rendered to him.
He returned verbal acceptance,
and then went to Virginia under the
pretense of arranging his private af-
fairs, but never came back. 1t is
fortunate that the idea of actually
taking command and then betraying
the whole army into the hands of
the rebels did not occur to him; for
if it had the treachery would prob.
ably have been consummated.
