A world Washington special dispatch says:
1t was the intention Of Secretary Boutwell, to
resign his seat in the Cabinet if the admins
tration had refused to support the Republican
ticket in Mississippi aud Texas.
The Conservative Republicans of Missis-
sippi, having ascertained that the Adminstra-
ton will give Judge Dent no support whatev-
er, are about to change 'front.' They say Dent
has served their purpose in developing the sit
uatioa, and as he can bring them no position,
they will rally on some man of local influence
and reputation. Gen. Grant informed Dent
at Long Branch that he could expect no favor
whatever from him, and advised him TO de-
sist from his undertaking. He also wrote
Dent letter reiterating his conversation and
stating that he should take opportunity to
make it public.
Dents friends in Mississippi are still san
guine that he will succeed, and are very bitter
against Grant.
Andrew johnson is getting himself some
reputation as martyr. He was recently sur
rounded, SO Democratic papers says, by Rad
ical mob But he made his speech regardless
of circumstances while his eyes flashed de-
lance.

SERMONS ON THE FAILURE OF PRoTEsTANTIsM
AND ON CATH LOFTY. BY Rev. Ferdinand G.
Ever, 8. L. D., Rector OF Christ Church.
New York: D. Appleton & Co. For sale by
John Russell.
Dr. Ever has succeeded in producing
sensation. He is Ritualist of the brand
new type, who creates u church out of his
own fancies and commits all others to the
uncovenanted mercies of God. He is u
Protestant opposing Professionalism; he is a
Catholic opposing Catholicity; he is a sec.
tartan inveighing against the sects. HIS
lectures are medley of incohereut extrav.
aganccs. He assigns to his opponents
opinions which their symbolic books ex-
pressly repudi4te; he does not hesitate to
attack the tenets of his own church; he is
even inconsistent with himself. Accepting
substantially the Trideutine Taeology, be
renounces the authority on which that sys
fem reposes. II his career has not yet
been arrested, the reason is becaus:' it has
the zigzags and swoops AMI returns of
swallows fight. He objects to the broad
church as rationalislic, yet accepts Dar-
wins theory of ''Creation by Development"
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-02-09

and Perthe's assertion that men is one hun
dred thousand years old. He objects to the
high church because it is ''a fossil" yet he
holds to the real presence, the life giving
sacraments and the apostolical succession.
He renders fealty to Anglicanism at the
very moment when the authorities of that
ecclesiastical realm have suppressed the
practices which, in his estimation, are of
primary importance as the notes of Catho-
licity. It is not our part to discuss any OF
these subjects; nor, indeed, do they call Tor
discussion in such connection. AS whole,
these lectures, if judged by their spirit,
are not so much anti Catholic or anti Pro
testant ss anti. Christian.
New ORLEANS JOURNAL OF MEDICINE. Edited
BY Drs. Bemiss, Mitchell, Herrick and Lo-
gan. January 7, 1869. No. Carondelet-
street. New Orleans.
This number begins with q carefully pre-
pared article of DR.. William Hutson Ford,
on the antagonism of catarrh and yellow
fever. The argument is based upon the
recorded observations of forty years. a
similar relation 10 that which obtains be-
tween yellow fever and catarrh is suggested
as existing between the latter disease and
Asiatic cholera. Dr. Joseph Jones, of the Lou
isiana University, gives an account of the
symptoms, origin AID changes of hospital
gangrene. The outline exhibits the results
of large experience in the Confederate
hospitals. DR.. Samuel Logan has discover
ed new law in regard to the evacuation OF
assesses; they move in the same dire ction
as the astorial blood current. DR.. Starley
contributes practical suggestions in regard
to the introduction of medicines into the
system under the skin. DR.. Hall, of Mobile,
advocates the rise of the thermometer in
disease, and shows the effects of belladonna
in the arrest of erysipelatous Inflammation.
DR.. Smith, of Elyton, deserves medal for
the inconscquential and funny article which
succeeds. The correspondence and quar-
terly records are interesting and various.
The general reader will be glad to learn.
that protective against insects has been
discovered by jaeger. He says that tlnc-
ture prepared by macerating one part OF
Pyrethrum rosin in four parts of diluted
alcohol, and then thinned with ten parts OF
water and applied to the skin, will protect
one at least twelve hours from flies, mosqui-
toes, ants and other insects
