CURE FOR SMALL Pox AND SCARLET
FEyER.-The folio wing reported IN
fallible cure for the small pox or scar
let fever, ex tracted from the London
Scalpel, may be useful to persons who
cannot procure the services Of first
class physicians: Sulphate Of zinc,
one grain; fox glove, one grain; half
teaspoonful OF sugar, with two tea
spoonfuls of water. Take teaspoon
ful every hour. Either disease will
disappear in twelve hours. For
child, similar doses according to age.
The Scalpel states, that if physicians
would only use this medicine there
would be no more need for pest houses.

Lindsey Again Speaks.

The irrepressible LINDSEY, who has not
been heard from for several weeks, took oc-
casion to clectrify the Virginia Convention
on Wednesday last The body had under
consideration the new Bill of Rights, when
Mr. Bowden, of Norfolk, offered the follow
ing as the twentieth article:
'Tbo General Assembly shall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate logisla-
ton"
Upon this little proposition, Lewis aired
himself after the following grandiloc uent
style:-
He thought dat de gentleman from Nor
folk had struck de pint on de head, and was
prepared to look into de subject more fully.
He was afraid dat de Convention would not
give de subject before dem time enough to
consider de ideas proposed. lie was atcarcd,
unless dey did so, dar purposes would be lost.
is perfectly awar, sir, what Constitution
we propose to embody. [ knows all about it.
Oar is no necessity for dc proposition of sla-
very 10 be talked about, but to give solely de
rights to those whar slavery have been taken
from. Everybody knows dat class and [
thinks we can derive at de principle of thar
rights expediently better by looking more
fully into the legislative branch of our pro-
ceedings. Dat branch, although the minor
branch of the Fundamental branch, will bring
home every idea, and will not allow the rights
Of that class which represents to be ignored.
He represented de choice of de people
de people, at least, whar put him in de bal
lot to come hcre-and he wanted to claim for
dat class equal rights before de law. He
thought dat in consequence of de necessity of
al oil Il
be any hurry, but dat every proposition ought
to have two days foregone consider ion be-
fore de proper action was taken. Tharforc
he was entirely opposed to hurry.
l am satisfied, Mistar President dat dose
gentlemen who so says are satisfied wild dis
reconstruction miluntary arbitrument Of de
sword but, sab, de monopoly shan't rule in
dis house. We majority, and not dc monopoly,
must rule. I comes here for de rights of my
race. has perceived dat some Of the genter-
men has gone back on dar promises to my
race. derives at dar idee, because when
dey made dose promises they did not have de
ballot III thar hands: and as they has since
received dat ballot, they says dey didn't make
those promises, l wants to stand here and
avocate the rights o my race; for dat class
put me here will not be satisfied onless do so.
lie continued for some moments on the
subject of rights, In conclusion, he said:
differ very much wild de outside idee
Supposed to be Butler's), dat we must go
thoo in great hurry, and [ don't think my
voters would be willin to obsarve it l has
been sittin here quietly, Mr. President to see
if l couldn't qualify what was goin on widout
sayin 4 word but as has noticed desposi-
ton to hurry thoo de work, has risen to
speak against it.
Lewis was called TO order and asked to
confne himself to the subject under debate
several times, but without avail.

COMPLIMENTARY.

In the course of some remarks in opposi-
ton to the new Reconstruction Bill, in the
House of Representatives, on Wednesday last,
Mr.. Fernando Wood, Of New York, charac-
teri5ed it as q moLstrosty, and the most
infamous act Of all the infamous acts of this
Infamous Congress" This remark was too
forcible, and embodied too much truth, to
pass unnoticed by the sooundrcls who WINGED
undor it. a retraction of the offensive words
was at once demanded, but Fernando was
stubborn and wouldn't retract. lie felt him
self fortified by the truthfulncss of what he
had uttered, and he refused to unsay it.
For his contumacy resolution OF censure
was passed by the House, and Mr.. Wood ar
raigncd at its bar, and eomplimcnted with a
reprimnnd by headccntrc Colfax; which,
under all the circumstances, was about the
highest compliment that could have been paid
him BY the Rump.

Gen. MoOIernand's Opinion of Grant.

General McClernand writes the following
letter to the Springfield (Ill.) Register under
date Of january 6:
observe in the Chicago Tribune of tho
4th inst, certain extracts purpOrting to be
taken from - Badeau's Life of Gen. Grant"
OF whilom Colonel, now Lieutenant Badcuu,
it is we'll enough to say en- paSsunt, that he was
unknown to me, unless ] once saw him hang
ing around Gen Grants headquarters as .
questionable appcndace, where he may still
be an ornamental, rather than useful appur-
tonance. Failing to gain distinction rs SOL
dier, he seems determined to gain infamous
nOtoriety, both as n personal traduccr and
panegyrist. Undertaking ostensbly to write
Gen. Grants biography, he has commenced
the hopeless task of writing him into the
Presidency. In this effort he has gone out
of the way to assail me, and only echoes his
masters malevolencd. 1t is, rather then, of
his master. from his position more distin-
guished object, that would briefly speak.
Let him publish the correspondence-thc
whole of the correspondence of which he
complains his partisan and amanu-
ensis. This done, his character for candor
and fair dealing will be exhibited in better
light than at present before the public, to
whose judgment he appeals against fellow
justice, but oftener his passions, have con-
trolled his conduct toward me. Especially
has this been the case since the brilliant and
successful issue of the Mississippi campaign,
in which the Thirteenth Army Corps, which
| had the honor to command, bore such Il
meritorious part. In his official report of that
campaign, he, either from ignorance or malice
falsifes important facts honorable 10 that
corps and to me, to the disparagelnent of both.
The proof is on file in the War Department,
but has never been permitted to see the light
Only recently, when my name was before the
Senate for confirmation to Office, he, as | I'M
derstood, and no doubt truly, descended from
the dignity of his station to cause my rejec-
ton, thus pursuing me in civil as we'll as mil
itary life. a man who receives an injury
may forgive its author, but that author never
forgives the person he has injured. General
Grant should, in prudence, if not in justice,
be more forbearing, for no public man of
modern times owes so much of reputation
and influence to the forbearance of others
If the veil were once lifted, and the public
made acquainted with his real character,
General Grant would stand very differently
in public estimation than he does at present
That time will yet come when the wrong done
me and my command will be corrected.
Your obedient servant,
JOHN a MCCLFRyASD

DON'T KNOW.

"a Friend and Patron " writes to US to
know why DR., Stephen Balch, -- Gctzcn-
danner, and Augustus Trump, are exempt
from taxation for school purposes in AvcrilI
township. The question is one that we arc
not prepared to answer, as VIC were not aware
that these parties enjoyed such exemption
until the letter referred to was received. L.
We presume, however, that the parties men
toned, belong to that great loyal" party
that has done, and is still doing so much for
the country and the negro; and which hesi~
tatcs not to run its hand into the pockets Of
the taxpayer, whenever opportunity offers.
If our friend will take the trouble to hunt M
the School Board of AveriIl township, he may
be able to obtain some information from lis
members that will satisfy him. BY the way,
if our memory is not at fault, the Dr. Bnlch
alluded to, is n member Of that Board. If
he is, SO far as he is concerned, the question
propounded to US is answered. / is not
fashionable for members Of the School Board
in West Virginia to tax themselves.

THE SITUATION.

One by one the pillars which have hitherto
supported the government, are being pulled
down by the-yandal hands of Radicalism, aud
the temple is now ready to crumble- Inc
Constitution is no longer in Wow, and the eS-
pressed will Of the people of the North to re-
turn the administration Of the government
into hands that will respect that Instrument
has fred the Radical Congress with spirit
of desperation to rule or ruin, and IN their
madness they are determined to plunge the
country again into civil war-cold, cruel and
relentless. The present action of the Rump
now in session at Washington, is the note OF
defiance to the Democrrtic party ofthe North,
and it will perhaps be we'll for the country if
it is received and met with such an under"
standing. In this event, we may expect that
at least struggle will be made to regain the
supremacy of the Constitution, and hurl from
power the miscreants who have disgraced
American legislation by the most unblushing
and tyrannical usnrpations known to the an
nails of history.
The space which we give to details with
reference to the present condition Of affairs
at Washington, precludes the possibility of
lengthy comments of our own, even if such
were necessary. As is we'll said by the Rich
mond Enq,si-cr, the violent measures of the
Radicals during the past week furnish con-
elusive evidence that whatever may be the
end of the terrible chapter of the present
revolution, it is near at hand. The programme
is to be "put through" in hot haste and
with an audacity which has been simulated
to inspire terror. This course has no doubt
cause twice during the late civil war, tho
Radical party was rescued from defeat by re-
sort to the most high handed and lawless
measures. During TIE war all opposition to
the Radical party was put down BY brute force
Seward then boosted of the power which
he possessed as far greater than that of a
monarch, and Stanton filled the prisons of the
North with gentlemen who were arrested for
pretended political offences. Freedom of
specclrwas denied, newspapers were then sup
pressed, and editors mobbed, exilcd and i'm
prisoned Public sentiment then sustained
all these outrages, and the men whose usur-
pations were then successful, have determined
to practice the same tactics again.
If the Northern people again submit to the
brutal reign of terror which the Radicals
have inauguratod, not vestige of our origi-
nal form Of government will be left. If they
submit to the overthrow of two departments
of the government, corrupt and revolution
airy Legislature stands ready to barter the for
feited liberties of the nation for the support
which a popular military Chicftain will give
its most vindictivc and unconstitutional mea-
sures. So far as the South is concerned, as
we are ruled by the bayonet, let US take care
that we do nothing which the bcyonet does
not force from disarmcd people.
