Medical Blumders.-From the period when
surgeons applied their salves to weapons instead
of wounds to the present wide-awake age, the
medical profession has often unwittingly taken
with Diseased in it's conflicts with the human
system. Even yet, in spite of the teachings of
centuries Of experience, some physicians believe
in depicting their patients, already seriously ex-
hausted by sickness, with powerful evacuants,
emetics, ~saliyants, cautharidal plasters, or the
lancet. But, providentially, public intelligence
Is ahead of these medical fossils, who belong, of
right, to the era of the Crusades! That power
full ally of nature in its warfare with the causes
Of sickness, HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, has
opened the eyes of the masses to the paramount
Importance Of increasing the vital strength of
the body when menaced by disease. They I'M
derstand that when the atmospheric conditions
are adverse to health, it Is wise to reinforce the
system with y wholesome tonic and stimulant,
and thus enable it to combat and repel the de-
pressing influence of an Indictment temperature,
Ii the constitutional and animal powers were
always thus recruited in the presence of danger,
the mortality from consumption, bronchitis,
chronic rheumatism, etc, would be much less
than ltnOw lis. Thecauses which produce groups,
colds, quinsey, diptheria and catarrh seldom af-
rect q strong and active vital system; and OF all
Yltallzing preparations, HOstetter's Bitters has
proved the most efficient. 1t is not claimed that
this standard tonic is q specific for lung and
throat maladies, as it is for dyspepsia, liver cons
plant and inteTmittents, but it is unh99iTattnglg

against ali the atmospheric elements of disease.

WAR AT ST. MARTINSVTLLE.

In the parish of st. Martin, there has
been q dispute and contention about
local offices, and a detachment of the
Metropolitan Police of New Orleans,
turned into State militia by a recent act
of the Legislature, was sent there to
settle the matter. The detachment was
said to consist of one hundred men,
armed with siXteen-shooting Winches-
ter rifles and II piece Of artillery-a
Napoleon gun-with Gen. Badger in
command. A dispatch from New Iberia,
to the New Orleans papers, dated last
Sunday, stated that the MetropOlitans
left there about nine o'clock that day
and marched ten miles to st. Martins
| vile, taking possession of the Court
house without opposition. Since that
time we have had all sorts of rumors
and reports, the most of. which are
known to be unfounded or incorrect.
The New Orleans papers of Wednesday,
due here Thursday evening, failed, Ow-
ing, as the mail driver said, to the mail
boat not reaching New Iberia. 1t was
reported that the boat was stopped at
Franklin, whether coming up or going
down we could not definitely learn.
Late Thursday evening we interviewed
the Teche mail driver who left the
town of st. Martinsville that morning,
and had slept there the night before.
From him we got all that is known here
about the condition of affairs there, pre-
viOus to going to press on Friday. He
says there are two hundred and eight
MetrOpolitans armed as aforesaid. They
destroyed or rendered impossible the
bridge leading from the town across the
Teche, which leaves them only one side
Of the town to guard, and that side is
open prairie. He was, told that one
Metropolitan had been killed-shot at
night while on picket, from across the
bayou-and several others wounded,
one of whom had died. He could hear
of no casualties Oh the other side. It
was reported that the native troops
numbered some three or four hundred,
who kept in the woods, with the prairie
between them and town. On Wednes-
day evening or Tuesday the Metropoli-
tans went out in the prairie to offer the
natives battle, but the former would
not go into the woods, and the latter
would not go into the prairie. Both
kept at a respectful distance from each
other-a mile and ahalf, it was said
and though considerable firing was in
dulged in, including eight rounds from
the artillery-nO II was hurt. The
natives have no cannon, as was first re-
ported here. The Metropolitans, with
their lOng-range, shooting a mile and
a half, it is said,) sixteen shooting rifles,
have no difficulty in keeping the nati1 YES
alta distance. They can be overcome OF
captured only in three ways; by thei1
ammunition becoming exhausted, by be-
ing starved out, or by being surprised.
Our informant says it was tOldhim, that
the natives had received news from
Franklin that ten men with ammunition
for the MetropOlitans, coming up on the
boat, had been captured at that place
He further states that he tells nothing
for facts except what he saw, and he
saw very little of all he heard.

AN ENGLISH TRAVELLER ON HENRY
WARD BEECHER.

At last comes to us a sensible, unprei-
| udiced account Of this great priestly
charlatan, the apostle of the Brooklyn
ties, and<the man who has been more
| gloriied, and heartily abused than any
other American notability.
The writer, after describing the over
| flowing church, where eve the aisles
were choked with people standing, or
leaning against thepews, goes on to say :
"During the voluntary, a tall, gaunt
| gentleman, inmOurningcOstume walked
hurriedly uporpthe platform, there being
no pulpit. After the hymn, Mr.. Beecher
engaged in prayer. It had the merit of
extemporary and common place-very.
Nothing could have been colder, Or less
inspiring. In due course came the ser
mon-such a sermon! The preaching
was on apar with the prayer. 1t was be-
low mediOcrity, and the delivery shock
ing. In it he said: Some people say
lawyers can't go to Heaven. It's a lie.
Some say merchants and traders can't
go to Heaven. It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a
1ie.' Stamping heavily with his foot all
| the time"
We repeat, we are glad to see the ve-
neering rubbed off the immaculate
Brooklyn shepherd by an unsparing
hand. Of all the humbugs which a false
taste has ever erected into a popular idol,
the Rev. Beecher is the greatest. His
boundless audacity and c~oarseness, his
INSCRIPTIONS disregard of truth, his clap
trap oratory would have condemned a
man of less force of will to a deserved
obscurity. But this man has become
what heis, through an iron wiIto achieve
notoriety, it matters not by what means.
A deal of Yankee shrewdness has this
worthy scion of the Beecher stock, and
this shrewdness has helped him out OF
many strait places, and taught him when
and where to trade Oh the weaknesses
OF follies of his hearers. =
From all times impOstOrs, who address
themselves to the religious element OF
humanity, have been most successful
Matthias, the impOstor, John of Munich,
Joseph Smith, and countless others have
had their day, as Henry Ward Beeche1
has his, People admire hisaudacity, and
are curious to see to what lengths it will
carry him. The weak vessels in the
church adore this muscular Christian, as
weak vessels usually do, but beyond a
certain vigor of expression, and bringing
down heavenly subjects to a very low
level indeed, we cannot see where lies
the mans influence with the masses.
At any rate, we are glad for the sake
of truth that a stone has been thrown
just where,it ought to be, into his merits
as a preacher and a teacher of men.

a of COIfax.''

A correspondent Of the Picayune, in
its issue Of the Sd inst, gives the follow
ing description of the fight:
About II A. NJ. skirmishing commence
ed, the negroes occupying the rifle pits,
the courthouse (brick) and the brick
warehouse and other smaller points.
A cannon, which the white men had
gotten possession of, was placed so as to
crOss-fre on the negroes in the ditch.
After two rounds the negroes fed from
the ditch, led by their leader Leb Allen,
who escaped. Few of these negroes
rallied, most Of them escaping down the
river. -. =, =
A line Of white skirmishers advanced
under cover OF the river bank, and, after
a hot fire, drove the negroes into the
brick warehouse, while the skirmishers
and body of white men, who had been
firing ON those in the rifle pits, charged
on the negroes in the courthouse. Here
they were received by a hot fire from
the negroes, and had to take shelter in
the buildings opposite the cOurt-hOuse
The cannon was moved I'D and thew
tried to make a breach in the Court
House with solid shot. After firing two
or three shots the cannOneer was NOR
tally wounded by a rife ball, and his
assistant badly wounded in the foot.
About this time, the body Of white
men advanced from underth river bank
and successfully charged the brick ware
house, driving the negroes from it; some
seeking refuge under the building. some
running down the river, and some to
the Courthouse, which was about sew
enty-five to one hundred yards distant.
After gaining this position the whites
kept the negroes hemmed in the Court
House, from whence they kept up q o
t%inuOus sharp shooting.
Between 4 and 5 p. NJ, the negroes
displayed a white flag from the court
house, seeing which, MI. Hadnot, ac-
cOmpanied by Mr.. Harris, went to the
courthouse door. Mr.. Hadnot was
there shot by the negroes, and Mr.. Hair
RS was drawn into the courthouse, the
ably not mortally wounded.
Inc whites, seeing their leader fall,
rushed to the courthouse door, broke it
house and, it is said, refused to grant
any quarter, killing all in the hTildinn.
The fighting was apparently confined
to the town and about 200 wards arOund,
The number of armed negroes in the
town when the fight began was about
$50 o. 800. They lost about 90 killed
and so wounded. The whites lost )
killed and about 20 wounded:
The fighting lasted six hours. Every
thingis quiet now.
The wounds found on negro bodies
were terrible. Many were burned, and
in their terrible anguish appeared to
haze literally bit the dust, as dirt was
found in some Of their mouths,
