WASHINGTON, July 10, 1850.
II thr ElGps of the Free Press and Times:
do not think it too much to say that the
Democrats are already much embarrassed by
the very false position in which the nominal
ton OF General Hancock has placed them.
For years they have been eloquent in their
appeals for Government by a civil magistrate,
and fi rec in their denunciaiions of particular
President with military antecodcnts and mill
t.ry manners. General Grant was accused OF
maxim. lhe White House military headquar-
tiers, of surrounding himself with military
pals. an! OF subjccting civil authorities to
military rule. The influence of West Point
has been deprecated, and the terrible spec
tres Of Comparison and Cpsarism have been
plrid,l m the hastings, and through the
press, a. Il warning against the appointing to
hi.hrst civil funciions tn man of military
instincts and habits. But now the question
comes il all this noise was argument against
~ inst iIaAcrck. Gen Hancock, since the day
Ia went a cadet to West Point. has never
ceased To he a soldier There has never been
4 time since he left that aristocratic military
school when lie could not, like the centurion,
say 10 thos. under him with projec,ile influ-
cucc, ego"
Twenty years aro both Grant and Garfield
were taken from humble civil life, whence
they forged their way to distinction. They
were essentially from the people, from the
common people, from that great yeoman
class who as pioneers have made the coun-
try, and as volunteers have saved it.

To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times:
4 few days since you called attention to
the views of Mr. Phelps in relation to Gen.
Hancoch's candidacy, as expressed in an
elaborate letter which he wrote TO Charles
y. Davenport, ESD, scarcely two months
since and apparently intended for publica-
ton In that letter, he says There is an
earnest looking out on all hands for some can
dida'e who's tito be President" And again :
1t WILDE Of no use this year, in my judgment,
to offer to the public suffrage any
unknown or obscure candidate who must be
supported by afiilavits or backed up by wit
nesses to character, or any military gentle
man, however distinguished, whose life has
been spent in an experience which has dis
qualified him for craftsmanship, and the con-
troll of civil affairs" How it is possible
for the author of such sentiments to support
Hancock, as Democratic partisans and organs
are advertising that he will do, must be for
ever mystery. But it would he still
greater wonder if Mr.. Phelps should allow
his name Ia be used for the gubernatorial
candidacy, as he has solemnly declared that
he would never come before the people for
office In a speech''at Montpelier, during the
campaign of 1876, after defining himself as
an independent in much the same spirit as in
the letter above referred to, and disclaiming
any ambit: on for office, he said mo, gentle
men, YOU will never have the pleasure of
voting against me.

lance from the summit and walked to the
halt way house, four miles below, where
one OF the employees of the ear
riage road company assured them
that there was no bad place below
that and that DE thought II would be sale
for them to resume their seats with the drlv-
er. who was with them. Soon after passing
the half way house, in driving arounda curve
too rapidly the carriagel was tipped over.

on the rocks Mrs. Ira Chichester OF ALE

How 10 KEEP CooL--We must, as far as
we can, keep our systems in Il calm, que
condition. Excitement quickens the circulac
ton and provokes increased temperature.
Clothing should be thin, yet not too thin
and Of 4 light color. Light colored hats arc
better than dark ones since the dark absorb,
while the light reflect, the suns rays. The
brim of the hat should be wide enough TO
protect the back of the white mans neck and
the clothing is u protection for the shoulders.
When out OF doors it is well to seek the
shade. and with an umbrella one can always
be under cover. Sleep, il possible, in well
ventilated rooms, and if tired rest the nerve
by Il nap in the daytime. Avoid any excess
OF stimulants \ certain amount of water is
beneficial, since it cools the system and
favors perspiration, but an excess OF any
fluid is injurious. As 10 bathing, warm wa
ter is often more refreshing than cold, and
any one who dips his hands into hot water
when coming in tired from out of doors will
experience an actual sense of refrcshmcnt III
the act Sometimes draught Of hot water
is very refreshing.
