Surely these newspapers and reverend persons,
with their oonfedefates, stand on the very outer
edge of fat rebellion itself; indeed they are ns
inveterate foes of anything possible 10 be called
Union of States as the most inveterate seces :
sionists, because they openly declare they will
have no Union except on their own terms, which
are out of the question. IL is evident that the
time must come when something must be done
with them-but the question is, when and how?


In our Judgment, nothing would tend go
much to the public welfare, by the settlement
of public opinion, as the prosecution OF those
peetent newspapers and persons. We desire
to see neither mob-law, nor any arbitrary pro-
ceedings applied 70 them BY the Government.
| We are firmly for freedom Of speech and OF the
| press, according to the fundamental provis-
| ions Of the Constitution, and because anything
short of this s totally inconsistent with the
Wn0e LneOfy huu prhCtiC6 VI puUiiC uuu private
liberty. But in order that this liberty Of speech
and writing shall not become lcentious, it is
| necessary to define it and keep 1t within the
bounds Of Justice and reason. In free coun.
try, Of all Others, this is most necessary. Where
there is the greatest temptation to icentiousness
and opportunity for it, there it is most neces-
sary that the il-disposed should be most held
under wholesome restraint. -a.- --
| We have suffered amazingly in this country
for want of sounder public sentiment on this
subject. Nothing could regulate this 80 well
as solemn and formal judicial proceedings. We
propose therefore, that the parties In question
be properly indicted and brought to trial, either
for their reasonable speeches and conduct as
the case may be or as disturbers OF the public
peace and safety. BY thorough Investigation
of the true principles Of Republican institutions
at the bar, and by the solemn adjudication OF a
learned bench, let the case of these culprits be
determined. As the result, IL found guilty, let
a sufficient fine and suitable imprisonment be
awarded--enough to stop them efeetually, and
to check others inclined In like manner to Of
fend. We should thus soon put men Of more
discretion and Of higher tone in the manage
ment of the press, which would then be as bene
fetal as IL Ia now too often mischieviOus-
ing clergymen would devote themselves to thei
proper vocation Of the care of souls, instead o
bewildering themselves and others in politics.
and thus public sentiment and the public con
duct might be essentially enlightened, raise
and refined.

A NEW USE FOR POSTAGE STAMPS.


A correspondent Of the New York
Times writing from California, has an
amusing story to tell, the particulars Of
which happened at Fort Yuma, in Ari-
zona. He says they have little fun.
even in that awful place sometimes. An
officer was telling me the othor day how
he had lost his postage stamps. He had
sent up here for some twenty dollars
worth, and had them left on his table.
Now the habits, manners and customs
thereabouts are considerably on the free
and easy style, and the Indians are al.
lowed to run about the garrison o6 A6i-
tam, if they behave themselves and don't
steal. On this occasion young squaw,
who had the run Of the quarters and was
very much at home anywhere and every-
where. happened to stray into my
friends room, and seeing the postage
stamps, began to examine them with
great curiosity. She discovered they
would stick if wet, and forthwith hap
py idea struck her. Now the fashiona-
BILE dress of the ladies of her class in that
warm climate is of the briefest deserip-
ton. She was ambitious to dress up
and excite the envy of the other Poca-
hontases. So she went in on the POSTAL
currency, and much to the astonishment
of the garrison made her appearance on
the parade ground entirely covered over
with postage stamps. She was stuck all
over with Benjamin Franklin. and the
father of bis country was plastered all
over her 1adysnIps glossy skin Iadis-s
criminately. regardless of dignity and
decency. The '.roar' that greeted her,
from the commanding officer down to the
drummer boy, was loud enough to be
heard nearly at head quarters in San
Francisco, but Indian like she did not
seem at all disconnected, but sailed of
with the step and air Of genuine prin-
cess, while my friend rushed into his
quarters to discover himself minus his
twenty dollars worth of postage stamps.
and that what was intended for the mail
had been appropriated to the female.
She might have been put in the overland
coach and gone through-she certainly
could not have been stopped for want Of

Persons suffering from these direfnl complaints should lcse rot moment in arresting their progress, It should be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, but it must be well rubbed in for some considerable time two three times day, that

 it may be taken into the system, whence it will remove any hidden sore or wound as etfectually as though palpable to the eye There again bread and water poultces, after the rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service.

When in Cuba many years ago We observe
that the favorable time for travel was midnight
and the older merchants Of Charleston may remem-
Der that when deadly fevers fpreYailed in hot
weather, they dared ride in town in the cool Of
the morning or evening, but midday was accounted
the safest. We know, from many years living in
New Orleans, that it was when the evenings and
mornings were usually cool, balmy and dehgetfnl,
the citizens prepared themselves for still greater
ravages of the deadly epidemic for the first few
days following.


If early breakfast were taken in regions where
.hils andfever, snd fever and ague prevailed, and
if inaddition brisk fire kindled in the family
room, for the hours including sunset and sunrise,
these throblesome maladies would diminish, IN any
one year, not ten-fold, but thousand fold because
the heat of the fire would rarity the miasmatic air
instantly, and send it above the breathing point.
But it is troublesome to be building fires at night
and morning all summer, and not one in a thousand
who reads this will put the suggestion into practice

together, such IS the stupidity Of the animal man.
