The Loss of the Oneida.
GRAPHIC LETTER FROM w. w. CRowNIN-
SHIELD DESCRIBING THE CATAs-
TRoPHE-HoW HE FORUM
ATEI,Y ESCAPED.

We are permitted to copy the following
interesting extracts from letter written
to his sister by w. w. Crowninshield, the
clerk of Capt. Williams of the United
States steamer Oneida. 1t will be observed
that Mr.. Crowninshield got out of the
cabin window, over the stern to the poop
deck, and then gained the quarterback
and bridge previous to the vessels sinking.
This seems to render it conclusive that
the Bombay did not go entirely over the
Oneida, but must have backed away from
her before continuing on her needless
course

Why! The Indian medicine men were very
successful in the cure of disease, because they
used Natures remedies and did not poison the
system with mineral extracts. Their roots, herbs
and banks cured etfectually and their tribes were
noted for their longevity. Sixteen of these rene
dial roots, herbs and barks compose Aliens Con-
gress Bitters. Hence the value of these bitters
in producing health. Sold at all drug stores

On Monday in executive session OF
the Senate, Col. A. s. Tracy was con-
firmed, the objection to his confirmation
having been withdrawn. There seems to
be a great want of decision in reference to
our Vermont appointments, one day we
hear of nominations made, the next we
hear of objections or withdrawals It
would seem things should be or not be,
with less vacillation of mind than is ap-
parent to the public. This nomination
has hung fire for months, it would seem
that valid objections could have been in
vestigated long since.

A large lot of counterfeit twenty-five
cent beer stamps with the plates. dies,

seized at Philadelphia, were received at

The counterfeiters were caught at their

their stamps on the market.
The Secretary of the Navy is in daily
expectation of dispatches from Hong

detailed account of the trial of Capt. Eyre
of the Bombay for his inhuman conduct
to the drowning officers aud crew of the

the Government will be enabled to take
proper cognizanoe of the matter.
Secretary Fish is quite reticent in
reference to Cuba and Spain. He states
that no further dispatches have been re.
ceived from the Spanish Minister here in
relation to the killing of Potolando, nat.
urailzed American, at Santiago. Gen
Quesada did not call upon the Secretary
OF State as reported in some of the papers,

ALLCoCKs POROUS PLAsTERs

Step by step this commodity has attained its
unprecedented fame. They are universally ap-
proved. They supports, strengthen, and aid the
growth of muscles. They appear to have Pc
culiar effect upon the nerves, alaying irritable
ty, while supplying warmth. They seem to ac'
cumulate electricity, and aid the circulation Of
the blood through the part where applied, by
which healthy actions are induced.
Even in paralysis, where articulation was sus'
pended, the use of the Porous Plasters to the
spine restored the articulation, and materially
reduced the paralysis. In fact, the patient could
help herself, while before the Porous Plaster was
applied she was as helpless as baby. We refer

THE VERMONT BRIGADE IN THE SHEN-
ANDoAH VALLEY. by Aldace T. Walk
err Burlington, Vt: The Free Press
Association, 1869. Duodecimo, 1911 PIP.
This little volume, though of special in
terest to the members and friends of the
organization whose achievements it mar
rates, is well worth perusal by the gene
raj reader. The Vermont Brigade of the
Sixth Corps has glorious record, indis-
solubly connected with some of the most
brilliant passages of the war. Other Or
CARNATIONS, as brave and faithful, were
fated to perform their gallant deeds in
comparatively uuimportant campaigns,
and their history will therefore scarcely
survive the recollection of the actors.
But this brigade distinguished itself in
three of Sheridan's marvellous actions
Opequan, Fishers HILL and the browning
battle of Cedar Greek. On the latter &C.
casion Sheridan made his famous ride
from Winchester to retrieve the waning
fortunes of the day, and it is remarked in
his official report that the division to
which this brigade belonged confronted
the enemy from the first attack in the
morning until the battle was decided
nraise which cannot be awarded to any
other infantry engaged in that battle.
This book, written by an officer who took
part in the achievements he describes, and
who at Opequan commanded a regiment
of the Vermont Brigade, is notably
clear and graphic i'll style. We
have never seen more satisfactory
accounts of the three actions referred
to than those here given, with the accom-
panying military maps, by Col Walker.
Many episodes of experience, both humor-
Gus and pathetic, are scattered through
the book, which thus affords far com
pleter picture than can be found in many
more pretentious volume of the lights
and Eshadows, of the mighty events and
the petty but dramatic details of the sol
dier's life. 1t is from such careful mono
graphs that the history of the war will
hereafter be constructed, and we think
that this volume is of very good class,
one of the very best specimens. Its typo
graphical appearance Is creditable to the
Vermont press from which it is issued.

THE NEW PARTY.-There is quiet
though energetic movement going on at
Washington, looking to the organization
of influential persons into party which
shall insist upon an amendment to the
Constitution, recognizing the Christian
religion and Jesus Christ as the source of
law and government. 1t was discovered
upon an interchange of views, that there
is division of sentiment among the
members of this embryo organization.
Some of them only desire the amendment
to recognize religious obligation and God
az the author and source of law and gov
eminent. This will probably prevail,
and the claim that the Christian religion
be recognized will be abandoned. Thus,
it is argued, all persons who acknowledge
the existence OF the Divine Being, of
whatever sect or religious denomination,
can cooperate to procure the adoption of
the new amendment to the Constitution.
The new party claims to have in its or
ganization number of Congressman, two
of the Supreme Judges and other high of
ficials.

A UNION HYMN.-When l preached
in Milwaukee few Sundays ago, says
James Freeman Clarke, it happened that
three churches, of three different denom-
nations, all sang the same hymn the same
evening, "Nearer, my God. to The, nearer
to Thee" That hymn was first pub
lished in America in our hymn book. 1t
was taken by me from little volume
called Hymns and Anthems" for which
it was written by Mrs. Sarah Howe Ad-
ans, to be sung in the church of William
J. Fox, an extreme radical in opinion.
Now not an orthodox society in America
but values that hymn as one of its very
best.

The Alabama Claims

A suspension of all correspondence and
negotiations upon the Alabama claims
was announced several weeks ago. From
later reports it appears that there IL
further correspondence in progress, whicn
may lead to additional negotiations ana
possibly an adjustment of pending diff
culties between the two nations. The
elaborate dispatch of Secretary Fish, of
some weeks ago it will be remembered,
reviewed the whole subject and recapit-
ulated the positions assumed by the
American government, and the wrongs
to our people growing out of the action OF
the English government in allowing the
Alabama and other piratical vessels to be
fitted out and depart from English ports
to prey upon our commerce. Mr.. Motley
the American Minister communicated to
the Secretary of State the fact that his
dispatch was not we'll received by Her
Majesty's Ministry. Lord Clarendon in
answering the dispatch he declined in a
brief note to continue the correspondence
which was read to the Secretary OF State
by Mr.. Thornton the British Minister,
accompanying this note, was an elaborate
document or statement which was neither
dated nor signed, and which was not read
with the accompanying letter. Some time
after Secretary Fish learned that the doc
ument was intended as an answer to his
dispatch. Not being officially informed
Of this fact, he Immediately addressed q
note to Lord Clarendon, through the
American Minister, asking if the un.
signed document was to be regarded as
an unofficial answer to his dispatch. Nc
reply has yet been received. If an an
swer should be returned in the affirma-
tive, Secretary Fish will at once reply
to it, thus again opening the correspond
ence. 1t il understood in government
circles that the English government is
very anxious that the Alabama question
should be adjusted, while the Americ an
people are willing to have a settlement Of
all claims, it is the general judgment Of
the masses, if not officials that we can
afford to wait unless the English govern.

negotiations to terminate this controversy.
