We saw that, RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is
the most elegant and powerful medicine known in
the world This is not boasting; try it, if you
feel sceptical and be convinced. 1t combines in its
composition the properties of diffusive stinulant,
an anti-septic, mild but effective astrngent, and
direct power over the nerves, neither narcotic
nor anodne, that relieves pain, in manner pecu-
liar to itself and for which we have word in the
English language exactly to express its action.
The French call it Soalagenaent So much for its
internal administration. When applied external

THE ONLY ALTERNATIvE.-Peacc npon
the basis of the Constitution as it is and
the Union as it was, or perpetual war, is
the only alternative presented to this
country, says the New Hampshire Patriot;
and the Abolition Interpretation of the
late elections is that the people prefer the
latter. Yet four men out of five, if the
direct question is asked them, will to-day
declare that they would rejoice to end
our difficulties upon the basis of the old
Union and the old Constitution in ali
their integrity. Why, then, do they sus,

that result impossible? That they do so

WHAT HARM.-If the question were
put to every man who voted the Aboli-
ton ticket, whether he would now accept
peace and union on the basis Of the Con-
stitution, what proportion would answer
yes? A large number, certainly. What
harm, then, could arise if the Administra-
tion should indicate in some way to the
Southern people that the war would end
the moment they accepted that Constitu-
tion again :? If such proposition were
made in good faith to the Southern people,
it would soon bring into existence strong
Union sentiment, which would eventu.
ally prevail throughout the Confederacy


But, while it would restore tie Union it
would destroy the Abolition party, and
with the destruction Of that party the
prospects and fortunes and positions
and safety of the army of swindlers and
knaves who compose and control it,
They will never consent to restoration
Of the Union under the old Constitution.

one, but it has been learned at fearful

by removing him from the army he could
disgrace him and thus dispose of com.

THE RICnEsr INCIDENT OF THE SEASON.

CROPPED his way back-and Just as the
train began to emerge into the least glimer
of light, was a yell which started the en-
tire load of passengers. The poor fellow
had gone one seat too far back, and seated
himself in the wrong seat and was trying
his best to kiss the demure lady, who
couldn't see it. He lit out in hurry,

FINE PLACE TO WINTER.-The Dales
MOuntaineer calls the attention of miners
who have made their "pile'' to the town of
Dalles as a superior place to winter in. We
presume that only those are wanted who
have made ''pile." The Dalles certainly
offers superior inducements TO flush per-
sons as wintering place. Those who
60 there to winter will doubtless find their
piles very small in the spring; but then
these miners don't care at all about being
encumbered with such trashy stuff as money
any way And then, at Dalles, man can
get as much winter as he desires. He
can't find another place in the upper coun-
try where he can get any more winter
than he can there; and once "snowed in,'
he can't possibly get outside of the place
to squander his pile. He must "bide his
time" within the corporate limits of the
City. On the whole we think the Dalles
a pretty good "hole" to winter in; and not
only for miners, but also for 'disinterested'
business men.

KANSAS CoNsERvATIvEs.-Most of the
Free State men who were sent into
Kansas by Horace Greeley g. Co., during
the trouble there few years ago, were un-
compromising abolitionists. Some of
those (then radically fellows are now edit
ing conservative" papers there. The edi-
tor of the Leavenworth Eveaing Bulletin
appears to be one of those fine spun radl-
Gals, who spins his editorials all around
'freedom" but never INDUCES in elevating
his 'colored brethren" to level with him
self; but his neighbor, the editor of the
Conservative gets down to radicalism with
out any refined notions whatever He
don't attempt to smooth over his editorials
with an artificial covering, as many Of the
abolition editors throughout the country
do. He is simply plain, square-toed,
fiat 70 oted abolitionist, and advocates plain
abolition doctrine Not long since he
made a speech in Leavenworth and it was
rather too plain for the Bulletin mans
taste SO he attempts to smooth it over by
intimating that the speaker was somewhat
under spiritual influence at the time of
his delivery. But here is what the Con-
sergatire man said, as quoted from, and
vouched for by the Bulletin;


The negro is my equal, and is entitled
to all the rights and privileges of the white
man. this war is for the equality Of the
Black with the White man, but Lincoln
and his followers have not yet found it
out, only few f''us radical S-s-of- BIS
have found it out yet"


The Bulletin, in commenting on the
speech, says 'lt was full Of energy and
pathos, and will long be remembered by
those who listened to it, as among Mr..
Wilder's most brilliant efforts"


Immediately above this "Conservative"
mans speech is the Bulletins leader We
extract only sentence or two to show its
conservatism, as follows:


"There can be no lasting peace till sla-
very be abolished; and we believe the fat
has gone forth that all men shall be free.
The war has been reduced to this one prop
osition: a ar for the abolition of slavery
The great principle for which mankind mas
contended since the formation of Govern
ments-the principle of personal freedom,
is about to triumph"


All abolitionists take the ground that
there can be no peace until slavery is abol-
ished. They know their own disposition
to meddle with the institution in States
where it exists by the express will of the
people, and seem to think that every
body else is as meddlesome as they are
But in this view they are greatly mista-
ken. If compromise should be effected.
the law abiding, and better part of the peo-
pie of the North States would rot modest
the Slave States in the right of regulating
their domestic affairs iD their own way.


To say that compromise cannot stand,
and all radicals contend that one cannot,
is the equivalent to telling us that they
would not let it stand But the people
hsve precedent; they can see the destroy
ing effects of tearing down national COM
promises, and neither radicals North or
South would ever again be able to repeal
one if it was made.

has been received since the outbreak Of the re-
bellion, and it would not be surprising II the
next few days should witness quite stampede
among the holiers Of the precious metals.
There il good ground for panic in this regard.
Everything indicates marked improvements In
our relations with England Earl Russelrs
letter in reference to the capture of the
Peterhof, the seizure in Liverpool of the Con-
federate gunboat Alexandra, and the discredit
into which the Confederate loan has already
fallen, after an emission of only $l5,000,0O0,
all 60 to prove a powerful reaction in English
sentiment in our favor. Once the rebels are
cut off from the facility of supplying themselves
with privatecrs and vessels-ofwar from Eng
land, their cause becomes hopeless. Without
navy they can do nothing towards permanently
maintaining themselves. twas the aid that has
hitherto been furnished them from abroad in
this connection that buoyed up their courage.
Now that stop has been put to the pro-
ceedings of their agents, and that those
shipbuilders and other contractors who
furnished them with vessels and war materiel
have been reimbursed by the proceeds Of the
Confederate loan which the simple minded
have been duped into taking, they will find
but little further help there. We can now un
derstand why JEFF. Davis and his organs talk
so despondingly Of two years further pro-
traction Of the war in the face of their Charles
ton triumph. The accounts which they have
lately received from England prove to them
that the game is nearly up as far as further as
sistance from that country is concerned.


We do not know that we have any great rea-
son to be grateful for this change of policy on
the part OF the English government. 1t has
been dictated by Its fears rather than its sense
of justice. It has at last become alive to the
fact that the practices which it has winked at
for the purpose of crippling US can, by and
by, be put in force against its own navy and
mercantile marine its only bulwarks The for
tunes of England are, as we have always main
tanned, closely bound up with our own, and
anything that tends to weaken the one must
imperil the other. 1t is well that this truth has
at last made itself manifest to the English aris-
tocracy. Their blindness has been near involv-
ing both countries in ruin.

water washes the fine earth into the

stands with dry or only moist soil below,
but with q baked mass on the surface
which shuts out warmth, air, and the
moisture that would be derived from its
