" The green leat et the new come Spring."
Shak.
Everybody recognizes spring, when It is
once upon us, but many persons are net ta

Webster, the world renowned lexicographer,
gives us a definition, which may net be inap

season of the year when plants begin te vege

ing the mouths et March, April and May, In

Thompson, In bis "Seasons," and Shak-j.

peers in describing if, and yet ''ctbetial

fellow this statement.
A Physician's Experience.
Dr. B. K. Clark, a regu'ar physician et ex
tensive practice In Grand Isle County, and a
worthy deacon of the Congregational Church,
at Seuth Here, Vt., has used Kidney-Wert ler
several years in his practice, and before the
present proprietors purchased an interest in
its favor. This opinion has net changed. It
has done better than any ether remedy I have
ever used," says the doctor, and, farther en he
writes : " I de net recollect an instance where
the patient te whom 1 have given it has failed
te receive benefit from Its use, and lit some
severe cases most decidedly se." These are
strong words. They are from a representa

citizen, however, aud better still they are
true.
Kidney Wert will bear all the encomiums
lavished upon it by its lrlends and their
name is legion. " I will swear by Kidney Kidney
Wert alt the time," writes Mr. J. R. Kauffman,

asserting, as a matter or tact, and one capable
of demonstration, that all honest patrons of
this remedy are its friends andadvecates.

BUCHANAN'S BIOGRAPHY
SOME T11INU3 IT 'MAKES PLAIN.
The
Kve of tbe Rebellion -Tba Allseed
Trauster of Anna te the Heutn tbe
President' liued Faltb.
N. Y. Sun Review.
In bis biography of the fifteenth presi
dent, Mr. Geerge Tickuer Curtis is net, of
.;... ..tnt-cn tsrlff, ftpfinllltr Ami ffafMtlfl
ing Mr. Buchanan's view of the relation of
the federal government toward a seceded
state, or of the duties which, at' such a
juncture, devolved upon the executive
authority. He is also at much pains te
meet each of the charges which, as public
opinion became mere embittered at the
North, were made against Mr. Buchanan
by these who desired te palliate their ewu
shortcemiug8, or te account for the dis
couraging results of the war by impeach
ing tbe levalty of Mr. Lincoln's predeces
sor. It will be found that Mr Curtis is
completely successful in the task of ex
culpatien se far as the proof of geed iu
teutieDS is concerned, though it may be
thought that one of the mistakes commit
ted by the outgoing administration, viz.,
the neglect iu forwarding reinforcements
te Fert Sumter, although unquestionably
due te honorable motives, betrayed a want
of perspicacity, of a power te measure the
imminence of danger, en the put of the
agi nts whose judgment was relied upon
by the chief magistrate.
One of the most explicit and grievous
imputations en Mr. Buchauan's geed faith
was formulated iu November, 1862, by
Qav. Scott, by whom it has b9eu justly
ta;d that when he approached an inkstand
it was bis feet, and net his pen that he put
iu it. At the date mentioned, however,
when the people of the North were smart
ing under a cerieB of unexpected defeats,
and were casting about for scapegoats and
for plausible explanations of their discom
fiture, there were thousands who gave ear
te the calumnious story set alleat by Gen
Scott, although the slight substratum of
fact which underlay bis statement had
been carefully scrutinized by an uufrieudly
committee et the Heuse of Representatives
almost two years before. Gen. Scott
alleged in this letter that Secretary Floyd
removed aud the implication was that
tbe step was takeu by the order or with
the connivance of the president ' $115,
000 extra muskets and rifles, with all their
implements and ammunition, from North
ern repositories te Southern arsenals, se
that en the breaking out of the maturing
rebellion they might be feuud without
cost, except te the United States, in the
most convenient positions for distribution
ameug the insurgents. Se, tee, of the 140
pieces of he..vy artillery which the same
secretary ordered from Pittsburg te Like
Bergne, aud Galveston in Texas for torts
net erected. Accidentally learning early
in March that under this posthumous
order the shipment of these goods had
commenced, I communicated the fact te
Seeretary Helt, aeting for Secretary Cam Cam
eeon, just in time te defeat the robbery."
Mr. Curtis finds it easy te demonstrate
that part of this statement is obviously
false, and that much of the rest is tainted
with the least creditable form of prevari
catien, the tuggestie falsi, or imputation of
a corrupt motive for an act indisputably
iunecent. All the facts bearing en this
subject were brought out by an inquiry
ordered by the Heuse of Representatives
ou Dec. 31, 18C0 and embracing the follow
ing queries, viz : What arm had been
sold; what arms had been distributed te
the states ; what arms had been sent for
storage iu Southern arreiial.ef the United
States ; and finally, what ordnance had
been transferred lrem Northern arsenals
of the United States te Southern forts ?"
Touching the first subject of investigation
the committee ascertained and reported
that iu the spring of 1859 50,000 muskets,
condemned by the inspecting officers, " as
unsuitable for the public service," were
duly offered for sale under the act of
March 3, 1825. Here, then, about a year
belere Mr. Lincoln's nomination, as Mr.
Buchanan dryly pointed out iu the course
of the controversy into which Gen. Scott
had forced htm, tbe cotton states, which
are alleged te have thus early meditated
rebellion, lest a precious opportunity te
buy a let of discaided firearms. Iu reality,
the only Southern state that made a bid
was Louisiana, which purchased 5,000 of
these condemned rausket8,audliually took
but 2,500.
With regard te the second inquiry bear
ing en the quantity of arms distributed
among the states and territories since Jau.
1, 18G0, the committee reported that the
whole number et muskets apportioned
ameug the states, North and Seuth, was
8,422. These were army muskets of the
best quality, but neither Aikansas, Dela
ware, Kentucky, North Carolina nor
Texas received one of tbem, because these
states would net take the trouble te ask
for the quotas te which they were entitled.
The ether slave states, which did apply
for their allotments, received in the ag
grcgate 2,091 el these army muskets, or
less than one fourth of the whole quautity
distributed. Mr. Curtis gees en te show
from tbe report of the committee that of
long range rifles of the army calibre all
tbe states received iu 18G0 only 1,728, of
which just 758 fell te the slave states. Iu
ether words, the eight Southern states,
collectively, obtained a less number of
improved muskets and rifles than would
be required te properly equip two regi
ments.
In relation, next, te the old arms,
alleged te have been transferred te tbe
Southern arsenals of the United States,
the committee ascertained that en Dec.
29, 1859, mere than ten months befere the
election of Mr. Lincoln, and several
months before his nomination, the secre
tary of war ordered one fifth of the old
fiint-leck and percussion muskets te be
removed from the Springfield armory in
Massachusetts te five Southern arsenals of
the United States for storage. This per
fectly regular and proper order was car
ried eat by tbe ordnance bureau in the
usual course of administration, without
reference te the president, 105,000 of these
flint-lock and percussion muskets, which
were in every way inferior te the new
rifled muskets then manufactured for the
United States army, being gradually trans
ferred te the Southern arsenals. There
were also transferred under tbe same
order 10,000 of the old percussion rifles.
These constituted the 115.000 "extra
muskets and rifles," which Gen. Scott, in
1862, asserted had been sent into the Seuth
for the express purpose of arming the
insurgents, who, as he averred, -were mak
ing ready ten months before Mr. Lincoln's
election te commence the eivil war. If
this were se, it must be owned that the
rebels had small cause te be grateful te
Mr. Floyd, since for every one of the cast
off muskets which tbey received, net less
than four were retained in a single North
ern arsenal. The committee also reported
in flagrant contradiction te Gen. Scott's
assertion that no ammunition was em
braced in the secretary's order, and none
accompanied the muskets.
The suspicion caused by the cider or
Secretary Floyd, given en December 20,
I860, and directing the ordnance .bureau
te send 124 heavy guns te Southern feits.
was by no means equally unfounded, as is
plain enough te these who knew the real
cause of Us, Fleyti't resignation and tardy
conversion from an earnest advocacy of
the Union te a zealous supporter of the
secession movement. The committee of
the Heuse of Representatives report tbat
this order was issued without the knowl
edge of Mr. Buchanan, who first heard of
it six or seven days after it was given;
meanwhile Seeretary Floyd had been called
upon te resign in consequence of discover
ies seriously affecting bis official intregrity
and en the very day, December 29, when
Mr. Helt, the new secretary of war,
entered upon tbe duties of his office,
the latter was directed by the presi
dent te rescind the order relating te
the transfer of ordnance. With this trans
action Gen. Scott had absolutely nothing
te de ; although in 18G2 he pretended that
he bad discovered in March, 1861, some
thing that really happened in December,
18G0, and that, by communicating this
precious information te Secretary rieit,he
had caused the issuing of an order which
in fact had been given and obeyed two
months earlier. Gen. Scott chose te
regard the error in dates as immaterial,
but impartial men will hardly fail te
recognize a trace of malice in the blunder,
siuce the iuevitable and doubtless intended
inference from Scott's language was that
Mr. Buchanan had permitted bis adminis
tratien te expire, leaving in force this
posthumous order of Secretary Floyd te de
its harmful work aTt.u- Mr. Lincoln's
accession. Time, as Mr. Curtis says, was
of the essence of this charge against the
Buchanan administration, for Gan. Scott
bad imputed te tbe outgoing president a
delay of mere than two months in counter
manding a mischievous order, and claimed
for himself the whole merit of the discov
ery and countermand.
There was another matter as te which
it can be shown that Gen. Scott's memory
was strangely at fault in 1862. He then
averred tbat President Buehanau had re
fused te allow any attempt te be made te
reenferce Fert Sumter, because he was
holding negotiations with the Seuth Care
lina commissioners, and " that afterward
Secretary Helt and myself (Gen. Scott)
endeavored in vain te obtain a ship et war
for the purpose, and were finally obliged
te employ tbe passenger steamer Star of
the West." The facts are, as Mr. Curtis
is able te demonstrate, that the Seuth
Carolina commissioners arrived in Wash
ington en Dee. 27 ; that en Dec. 30 they
received the president's answer rejecting
their prepositions ; that en the same day
Gen. Scott's request for permission te send
reenforcements te Fert Sumter was
made te tbe president, and that en De
cember 31, the orders for the sleep of-war
Brooklyn te sail were iu Gen. Ssett's
hauds. A few days afterward, the sub
stitution of the Star of the West for the
Brooklyn was made in compliance with
Gen. Scott's advice. The further charge
brought forward by Gen. Scott iu
18G2, that Mr. Buchanan was trammelled
by a species of truce or armistice, had but
little foundation, though there was a pre
text for it, which will be found revealed
with entire candor in this narrative. It
is certain and Gen. Scott from his official
position could hardly fail te knew that
no truce or armistice was entered into by
the president or anybody embracing the
two harbors of Charleston and Pensaoela.
With regard te Pensaoela, indeed, there
was a special arrangement in no way
connected with the state of things
iu Charleston, and the result of this
arraugemeut was that Fert Pickens
remained iu the possession of the
feleral government. With reference te
Charleston, ou the ether hand, there was
only a temporary agreement between
Majer Andersen aud Gov. Pickans, made
without the president's knowledge and
terminable en a certain event, viz , upon
the receipt of instructions by Mijer An An
derseu from his government. We may
here remark that Mr. Curtis makes it man
ifest that the person really chargeable with
the failure te reinforce Fert Sumter was
Majer Andersen himself, who from the
date et his removal from Fert Moultrie
up te the writing of the letter received en
March 4, 1861, continually pronounced the
position perfectly secure, and expressed
the hope that no attempt would be made
te threw iu supplies. The private letters
written by Mr. Buchanan te members of
his cabinet, and printed in this biogra
phy, prove hew astounded and incensed
he was te learn from Majer Andersen's
extraordinary dispatch received at the war
department en March 4, that Fert Sumter
could net be held without a force of 15,000
or 20,000 men te destroy the batteries
which, under Majer Audersen's eyes had
been erected around it. It must be remem
bered that Majer Andersen had regularly
and frequently reported the progress of
the batteries which were being taised
around him, but he had never said a word
which could be construed as a suggestion
that these works compromised his safety.
Ne wonder that tbe declaration, abruptly
made by the major in the beginning of
March, that he would net be willing te
ribk his reputation en an attempt te re
tain possession of Charleston harbor, with
out a large military force, took the war
department by surprise.
During the same year, 1862, in which
Gen. Scott saw fit te print a tissue of
misstatements in the National Intelligen
cer, Mr. Thurlow Weed published in the
Londen Observer a curious letter, which
was immediately copied and extensively
ciiculated in this country. Mr. Weed
asserted that four members of Mr. Bu
chanan's cabinet had, by a threat of resig
nation, compelled the president te recede
from something he proposed te de.
According te this edifying document,
Majer Andersen, in February, 1861, trans
ferred his garrison te Fert Sumter, where
upon Secretary Floyd declared tbat unless
the major was remanded te Fert Moultrie,
he should resign the war office. The
president, according te Mr. Weed, pro
posed te comply with this demand, but
was prevented from doing se by the
indignaut pretest of Mr. Stanten, Mr.
Black, Mr. Helt and Gen. Dix. Hew much
ground there was for this story is shown
by a letter from Secretary Black, one
of the members of the cabinet al
leged te have taken part in the patriotic
demonstration. In the first place, it was
net in February, but in December, that
Fert Moultrie was evacuated. On the
ether hanc",'t is true that en Dee. 27th Mr.
Floyd made Majer Andersen's removal a
pretext for resignation, but the attempt te
explain his withdrawal en that ground was
treated by the president and his cabinet
with silent contempt, for Floyd's resig resig
atien bad been demanded several days
before en account of bis connection with
the fraudulent abstraction and sale of
bends belonging te the department of the
interior. Alter recapitulating these facts
and pointing out that Gen. Dix was net
at this time a member of the cabinet
Judge Black gees en te say that en no
occasion did Mr. Stanten make any speech
inconsistent with the most perfect res
pect for the president, and that neither
he nor Mr. Helt ever spoke te Mr.
