Treatment Of Prisoners.

1t appears that when the French
prisoners taken at Weissenberg arrived
at Mayencc, the crowd received them
very well, throwing packages Of to-
bacco and cigars TO their hcatch foes.
At Exlort wine and cigars were also
offered by the Germans to their prison.
ers. 1t S.the characteristic of true
courage to beshumauc and generous TO
the yanquished This treatment bv the
brave Gerlpans OF the French invaders
OF their country would seem 10 indicate
that there is in reality no Intense hatred
between the masses Of the people. II
is in honorable contrast to the manner
in which prisoners We're sometimes
treated in our late civil war, when. in.
stead of furnishing them refreshments,
those who offered TO do so We're thrust
back by bayonets or arrested and cast
into prison, and some Of the helpless
captives treated with brutal violence.
II II clear that if we will observe closely

Buying Office.

Realizing the fact that the popular
ride is setting strongly against Il contin,
uation OF their rule in this State, the
Radicals are becoming thoroughly
alarmed and are putting forth desperate
efforts. They know they have forfeited
The good will of the people and that
they merit the condemnation which the
people are waiting to bestow. But they
have one hope Of success-oncar argument
alone upon which they rely, and that is
money. They expect to buy the jury
and bride the judge. They will COM
mute in money for their crimes in the
past and purchase for greenbacks the
opportunity Of committing greater ont,
rages in the future,
We all remember that, as admitted
by the Intellgeaccr, the chiefreason for
General GOoF's nomination. to Congress
was that he is wealthy and can afford
10 spend thousands of dollars for the
purposes Of the campaign. Better men
with shallow purses were compelled to
stand aside and let young money-bags
win the day. Whether his cash will
be as available in securing his election
as it was in giving him the nomination
remains yet TO be seen.
But Corr is not the only man in
West Virginia who has handsome
balance in bank, neither is lie the only
one of political aspirations The pros
pective Radical candidate for United
States Senator is by no means poor
man; no person OF slender means dare
aspire so high, no matter what his
mental abilities may be. This would
be Senator is said to be sending ont
money even now, to trusted agents in
the back counties of the State, 10 be
used in securing the election of men
who will vote for HIM IN the Legislature
next winter.
II is for the people TO see that this
scheme is rebuked. Let poor men have
a chance. Let Offices and honors be
bestowed for mental and moral worth
and capability and not simply for money.
We want men to represent us in Con-
gress and in the State Legislature, and
10 fill the various county offices in the
State, who are honest and capable.
These qualifications alone should be in
sisted upon, and the man who b,ys his
way to office is not usually possessed of

Cholera Morbus-Read This.


May u, 1863.
pR. =. Il. HARTMAN & Co-GENTs: One
week ago to-day, was taken with an at
tack of Cholera morbus; the vomiting and
purging was most excessive, and accom-
panied by intolerable cramps. My family
became alarmed, and sent Tor Dr., but
he was not at home, and the nearest other
physician being three miles of, 1t was con-
Guided to procure bottle OF MISHLER'S
HERB BIITERS. My wife gave our boy
one dollar, and bidding him "make haste
despatched him to the nearest druggist,
McsSrs. Kaufman Bros. He returned,
and according 10 the directions on the bot
tie took wineglassful Immediately, and
repeated the dose every fifteen minutes for
three-quarterS OF an hour, and astonishing
as it may seem, ii stopped all discharges
and cramp like magic. You cannot believe
how grateful | feel to you for this potent
remedy. One dollar cured me, and am
satisfied that had the doctor been nj home
IL would have cost me not less than five
dollars. Yours Respectfully,
FRANK MCLAIN.
