STANTON, The Secretary of War has addressed the following letter to the New York Tribune in answer to the articles which have appeared in that paper, ascribing to him the credit of the recent brilliant victories. It is somewhat unusual for a Cabinet Minister to take public notice of newspaper articles, but it appears that Mr. Stanton’s generous modesty is not proof against the fulsome laudation of the press: To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune Sir: — l cannot suffer undue merit to be ascribed to- my official action. The glory of our recent victories belongs to the gallant officers and soldiers that fought the battles.— No share of it belongs to me. Much has recently been said of military combinations and organizing victory. I hear such phrases with apprehension. They com menced in infidel France with the Italian campaign,, and resulted in Waterloo. Who organize victory ? Who can combine the ele ments of success on the battle-field ? We owe our reoent victories to the Spirit of the Lord, •that moved our soldiers to rush into battle and filled the hearts of our enemies with terror and dismay. The inspiration that conquered in battle was in the hearts of the soldiers and from ou high; and wherever there is the same inspiration there will be the same ••results. Patriotic spirit, with resolute courage in officers and men, is a military combination that never failed. We may well rejoice at the recent victories, for they teach us that battles are to be won now and by us in the same and only manner that they were ever won by any people, or in -any age, since the days of Joshua, by boldly pursuing and striking the foe. What, under the blessing of Providence, I conceive to be "the, true organization to victory and military combination to end this war, was declared in a few words by Gen. Grant’s message to Gen. Buckner— "lpropose to move immediately cm .your works t” Yours, truly, EDWIN Iff. STANTON^ i PENNSYLVANIA LKflftLATtßt; Wednesday, Feb. 26,1862. House.—The House assembled at 10 A. M., Hon. Johnßowo, Speaker, in the'Chair. Prayer by Bev. Mr. Steele. SPECIAL ORDER. An act to repeal the aot approved 7th March, A. D. 1861, entitled. “ An aot for the eommutation of tonnage duties.” The bill was referred to the committee of the whole; Mr. Armstrong, (Lycoming,) in the Chair. After’, consideration, the bill was reported back as com mitted. The House -resumed The consideration of tbe bill. Mr. Kaine, (Fayette.) This is a very important bill. That the Legislature has a right to repeal an act of the preceding Legislature, unless on a par ticular ououmstabce, is hot to be disputed or denied. The report of the Committee on the Judici&Ty Gen eral, implies at least, that there were doubts hanging around this question. If the. Legislature have not the right, there must be something in the act of last session different from ordinary legislation. If there is anything in that act that looks beyond the pale of the Legislatnre,. it must contain , something within itself, that is protected by the. Constitution of the State. Ifit is, as is alleged, a solemn contract entered into r between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the one part, and the. Pennsylvania railroad com pany oh the other part, upon good and legal consid eration r it would be & contract: A contract I believe is defined v to be an agreement made between two parties, lawfully to do or not to do some particular act. The first position I take upon this question is, that the act proposed to repeal by this act. was illegal be cause it infringed a principle of public policy, and beoause it was in violation of the faith of this Com monwealth. I take it that the Legislature has a right to regu late the toll. No corporation is entirely independent of the Legislature. The Pennsylvania railroad com pany, at the time of the passage of the law, was in debt to the Commonwealth at least the entire amount of $850,000. The money belonged to the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, and was, or OQght to have been, within its treasury. thing of all its surroundings, it was nothing more nor less than an appropriation of $850,000 to Ten railroad companies. Pennsylvania .was . giying-the Pennsyl vania railroad .company sBsQ,oDo,.'to-.be distributed after the passage, of tße_.bftTby the Legislature. Is that any part of,a contract; when it is'agreed that, the whole amount of this money, or nearly so, be longed to Pennsylvania? J - . i The act of 1861 provided that thesesBso.ooo should be divided among ten railroad companies. When certain work was done, when certain conditions in this law were complied with, then it was made the duty of the company to appropriate this money. — Yet, in their report, they say that to six railroad companies they have appropriated this money. At the same time they admit that these railroads were not in a condition to receive the money. Mr. Scott, (Huntingdon:) The law in itself is pre judicial to publio interests—to the interests of the people. Its passage was procured by fraud. The Constitution of the United States provides that no State shall pass a law impairing the validity of contracts. He proposed to coosider whether the State has made a contract in this case. We must take the aot as it stands. The right of the Common wealth to collect tonnage duties has been questioned. If there be in that law any provision that infringes the Constitution of the United States —then the Leg islature tranecended their power in setting apart that money, and the remedy is open. He was forced to believe that there is in this law a contraot. The question is whether a fraud in this transaction can be reached either by this body, or any judicial body of this Commonwealth. It is the duty of every member of this House to give his most serious attention to this question. A more important one could not be brought before anybody, either legislative or judicial. He was not guided, in con sidering the propriety of the repeal of the act, by any blind admiration for the Pennsylvania railroad company, nor of hostility to it. He looked upon the railroad as a great enterprise. It had greatly de veloped the resources of the Stato, and in tho late national exigency did much towards saving the Cap ital. But money was used in procuring the passage of the law last year. This venality must be stopped. Unless we stop the use of money in pnblic business, it will .not be many years before a traveling artist will take his stand upon the unfinished shaft reared to the memory of Washington, on the banks of the Potomao, and sketch the ruins of a crumbling Cap itol. If the Legislature has been corrupted, why should not the courts take cognisance of the question ? If the Legislature can be corrupted, and there is no judicial remedy, and this corruption can go on, we may soon begin to fear that gold will begin to find its way into all legislation—among all public officers, and hold the scales not for the justness of the cause but the weight of the bribe. Mr. Tracy (Bedford) wished that the gentleman and more like him were here lost winter. Is it pos sible that the Legislature oannot repeal a law, although it be an act contracted and consummated in fraud and corruption. He (Mr. Tracy) believed that the Legislature have tho remedy for corruptions of this kind, that the remedy is here among us, apd it is a duty we owe our constituents and ourselves and the Commonwealth whose representatives we are that the remedy must be now and speedy. Mr. Williams, (Allegheny,) said he hud prepared a bill which he proposed by way of substitute for the one dow upon the table. He made a motion to amend the bill and presented the following amendment: An act to repeal the act, entitled “ An act for the commutation bf the tonnage puties, approved March 7, A. D. 1861. Whereas, An act was.passed at tho last session of the Legislature, purporting to be an act for the commutation of the tonnage duties, by means whereof the sum of $742,308.41 or thereabouts, besides in terest, then owing to the State by the Pennsylvania railroad oompany, and in contemplation of law in the Treasury of the State, together with a large an nual revenue stipulated to be paid by the said com pany as the price of tho charter, and by way of compensation for the deterioration in value of the main line of the public works, apprehended and actually inflicted by the construction and operations of the said road —which revenue had already reached the snm of $300,000 and upwards, and would have amounted at this time to a greatly larger sum, with the prospect of indefinite increase, were wrongfully, unjustly and unconstitutionally withdrawn from the Sinking Fund provided by the Constitution and laws of this State for the payment of the public debt thereof, and made sacred and inviolable for that purpose, upon suggestions which were false and in pretended considerations which wereeither in con flict with the Constitution, or utterly illusory and worthless in themselves, amounting in effect, under color of a pretended contract or commutation, to a gratuitous donation of ail the said moneys and rev enues to a private corporation, without any substan tial equivalent whatever, thereby violating the plighted faith of the State and increasing the bur thens of the people, at a time when the country pre eminently required the most rigid economy and the etriotest husbandry of their resources : And Whereas, The said act was approved by the Governor, as shown by his message to the House of Representatives of tho sth day .of February last, under a stipulation in writing for the benefit of the people, which was not not made known to them, and has since been surrendered withoat their knowledge or consent on the demand of the said company with out any previous registry in the proper office, and without even the preservation of a copy thereof: .And W kereas, It is affirmed and believed that the terms of the said act of Assembly were dictated by the said eompany, and that the passage thereof was procured by improper and unlawful means, other than those which have been already recited on the part of the said company and its agents; there fore, Section 1. Be it enacted , <s*«•> That the said re cited act of Assembly of the 7th March, A. D., 1861, bo and the same is hereby repealed, and the said tonnage tax or duties imposed by the act incorpora ting the said Pennsylvania railroad company is I hereby restored, re-imposed and made payable to ! the Commonwealth in the same manner, and upon . the same 'terms and conditions as though the said j repealing act had never been passed. Sec. 2. That it shall be the duty of the Attorney General to proceed forthwith to sue for, recover and I collect by distress irrepleviable or otherwise, the ar rears of the said Tonnage tax which were due and owing at the time of the passage of the said recited act which is hereby repealed, together with such ad ditional tax or duties as would have accrued upon the tonnage of the said company until the date of the present act. • And for the proper ascertainment of the amonnt of the said additional tax, it shall be the duty of the said company to file, forthwith, in the office of the Auditor General a statement, duly authenticated by the oaths of the President and Treasurer of said oompany, of the amount of their business so mode taxable for the intervening period, and also to furnish to the Attorney General, from time to time, such other and additional statements, and such access to their books as he may judge ne cessary, for the purpose of said suit or other proceed iogs hereby authorized: Provided however , That the moneys paid by the said company, on account of the said pretended commutation, over and beyond the annual instalment or instalments payable by them on tbeir bonds for the pnrch&se money of the public works, shall be oredited upon the arrears of the said tax which were due and owing at the passage of the said repealed act, and allowed in the collection of the said arrears. During the discussion on a motion to make the subject a special order for a future day, the hour of one arriving, the Speaker adjourned the Honse till Thursday at 10 o’olookj A. M. Friday, February 28. We learn from a paragraph in the Cincin nati Enquirer that John W. Forney has been interfering in Ohio politics by writing letters advising the members of the Ohio Legislature to vote for Benjamin F. Wade for United States Senator. There is evidently great ap prehension among the radicals that Mr. Wade will be defeated, and the most superhuman efforts are being made to secure his re election. The Philadelphia Tress has published several urgent appeals to the Ohio Legislature in be half of Wade, who is no doubt a good friend of J. W. F , and consequently sound and relia ble. The Union Democrats in Ohio, however, who hold the balance of power in the Legisla ture, are not satisfied with Wade’s antece dents. He has been conspicuous of late years as a disunion abolitionist. In a speech which ho made at Portland, Maine, in 1855, Wade said: “There was really no Union between the North and the South, and he believed no two nations.upon the earth entertained feelings of more bitter rancor' toward each other than these two sections of the Republic. The only salvation of the Union, therefore, was to be found in divesting it entirely from all taint of slavery. There was no Union in the South. Let its have a Union, or let us sweep away ike remnant which we call -Union.” Now the man who would utter such senti ments as these, is as great a disuuiontßt in principle a.B; tbere,ia in the North or South and the [Union ‘fjf&rty : yi Ohio Show a Very proper repugnance to endorsing , their author by .r6-electiijgjiiu she UniteclStatea T Sen&t& —TdiHof Union, SENATOR WADE OF OHIO. WAR NEWS. From the South—Call For Troops—■ A Draft Threatened. Louisyillb, Feb. 27. The New Orleans Bee confesses to the magnitude of the calamity at Fort Donelaon, sad condemns the neglect and apathy of the Confederate Government in not sending enough troops, westward.’. It says a general call to armsnasbecofie an inevitable neces sity. The Memphis Avalagich* of the 22d says that the Governor of Alabama has called for twelve regiments from that State, and if not forthcoming other means will be used to fill the requisition. The Governor of Georgia calls also for twelve reg iments from that State, and says if the requisition is pot filled by the 4th of March a draft will be ordered. A company near Kingston, Boston ooonty, Is pre paring to turn out one thousand pounds of Mltpetre from a saltpetre cave in that vicinity. The peach and p!om trees in Rome, Georgia, are blooming, and the wheat crop is promising and almost too forward. Cotton cards are beiog manufactured in Dawson, Georgia. The War In Arkansas—Capture of Fay etteville—United States Troops Pois oned—Death of Captain Dolfert. Feb- 27. The following dispatch was sent’from headquarters to-day to Major General McClellan, Washington: “ Gen. Cards has taken possession of Fayetteville, Arkansas capturing a number of prisoners, stores, baggage, Ac. The enemy burnt part of the town before leaving. They have crossed the Boston moan tain in great confusion. We are now in possession of all their strongholds. Forty- two officers and men of the Fifth Missouri cavalry were poisoned at Mnd Town, by eating pois oned food, which the Rebels left behind them. The gallant Captain Dolfert died, and Lient. Col. Dentsh and Capt. Ashman have suffered much, but are re covering. The indignation, of oar soldiers is very great, bntthey have been restrained from retaliating upon the prisoners of war (Signed) H. W. H ALLEGE, Major General.* 1 Cheering News from the Weit«*Colnm* bnetobe Kvacaated. The Memphis papers of the 19th say that General Polk issued orders on the day previous directing that the track of the Memphis and Ohio railroad should be torn up, and the bridges destroyed, preparatory to the evacuation of Columbus, and demolition of the fortifications. The Colnmbas forces are to fall book to Island No. 10, on the Mississippi, about forty-five miles below Columbus, which it Is said completely commands the river, and can be fortified with heavy guns, and made impregnable against any river attack. The Democrat'* Clarksville dispatoh of the 26th says: “General Nelson is in oommand at Nashville, General Buell being still on the north-side of the river. The Union sentiment was strong, and our troops were received with great cordiality. Great indignation was expressed by the oitisens of Nash ville against Gov. Harris, who was fairly driven away by the Union men, the latter having become bold at the proximity of the Union troops, and dared to assert their rights. Gen Crittenden’s command had joined Gen. Johnston at Murfreesboro.’ The railroad bridge at Murfreesboro’ was destroyed by order of Floyd.” SSg* The Harrisburg correspondent of the North American says: " I have seen a letter in the hands of & leading State Senator, in which Judge Wilmot declares that he is not an applicant, nor will he be, for any foreign appointment. He de clares that if he desired it .ever so much he doubts whether the President woald confer such an appointment. He is certain he will notask him. He closeß his letter with the lines underscored with the declaration that he will “ ask the Pennsylcania Legislature to re eled him to his present position.” Probably Mr. Wilmot is not now an appli cant for any foreign appointment, but that he was anxious, a short time ago, to exchange the remnant of his senatorial term for a foreign mission, does not admit of doubt. He doubts whether the President would confer such an appointment, does he ? Has he really any doubt about the matter ? Has not the Presi dent been interrogated, and has he not said no? Mr. Wilmot will have a good time asking the Legislature to re-elect him to his present position. He had better wait the result of next fall’s election before talking so confidently of being a candidate for re election. The Democracy of Pennsylvania intend to have a majority in the next Legislature, and to fill the seat now occupied by Mr. Wilmot with a good, sound, conservative Democratic states man, whose Union record is unsullied by the slightest taint of sectionalism.— Patriot & Union. Where is the Rebel Armt of the West One of the mysteries of the day is the whereabouts of the rebel army of the West. Notwithstanding their losses at Fort Donelson and elsewhere, they cannot have less—and may have many more—than one hundred thousand men in Tennessee. Twenty thousand of these are or were at Columbus, but where are the other eighty thousand ? It is sug gested in a western journal that we have not reached the real line of defence at the West; that Bowling Green, Columbus, Forts Donel son and Henry were but outposts, and the real Torres Vedras is at Tullahoma, at the intersection of the Nashville and Chattanooga with the McMinnville and Manchester roads. Here, according to this theory, is to be the real western Manassas, with Murfreesboro’ as a kind of a Leesburg guarding the approach to it. At Tullahoma are the mountain ridges by the passes of which only can the seaboard be reached. Whatever value there may or may not be in these theories, it is very evident the fighting is not all over yet at the Weßt. Beauregard and Johnston have a large and desperate army still under their control, and the utmost vigi lance will be required on the part of our commanders to provide against surprises.— N. Y. World. Cure for Cancers. —Our attention has recently been called to a cure for cancers, which is of such importance that we wish to make it known as widely as possible.— Some eight months ago Mr. T. B. Mason, who keeps a music store on Wisconsin street, and is a brother to the well known Lowell Mason —ascertained that he had a cancer on his face the size of a pea. It was cut out by Dr. Wol cott, aod the wound partially healed. Subse quently it grew again, and while he was in Oincinoati on business it attained the size of a hickory nut. After remaining there several weeks under treatment, he has come back perfectly cured. The process was this: A piece of sticking-plaster was put over the caocer, with a circular piece cut out of the centre a little larger than the cancer, and a email circular rim of healthy skin next to it was exposed. Then aplaster made of chloride of zinc, blood root and wheat flour was spread on a piece of muslin of the circular opening, and applied to the cancer for twenty-four hours. On removing it, the cancer will be found to have been burnt ioto and appear the color and hardness of an old shoe sole, and the circular rim outside of it will appear white and parboiled, as if scalded by hot steam. The wound is now dressed and the outside rim soon separates and the cancer comes out a hard lump,' and the place heals up. The plaster heals the cancer so that it sloughs out like dead flesh, and never grows again. This remedy was discovered by Dr. Fell, of London, and has beeo used by him for six or eight years with unfailing success, and not a case has been shown of the reappearance of the cancer where this remedy has been applied. It has the sanction of eminent physicians and surgeons in London but has not till recently been used in this country, and many of the faculty, with their proverbial opposition to innovation, look upon it with distrust.— Mil. Free Democrat. S&‘ The following from the St. Lonis Re publican, Feb. 18, refutes the slanders originated by the New York Ttdbune and New York Post, respecting Gen. M’Clellan : “ Gens. M’Clellan and Halleck. —The newspapers have given escalation to reports in relation to these Generals which are utterly untrue, but evidently designed to create mis understanding and jealousies. We are au thorized by General H&lleck to Btate, that he has at all times received the most hearty cch operation from Gen. M’Clellan, and that in all the military operations in this Department he has had the advice and approval of the General in Chief. Tbo two Generals are in almost constant communication by telegraph.” Minister Cameron.— We learn from Wash* ington that General Cameron received his final instructions at the State Department on Thors* day, and will in a few days leave for Russia. Edward H. House, of the New York Tribune, has been appointed Secretary cf Legation. It would appear from this, that the Bcheme that was on foot to give the Russian Mission to Wilmot and send Cameron hack to his seat in the Sepate, has , fallen through.. The President, doubtless, refused to be made an I instrument in the consummation ; of this 'disreputable political trade. ; Tas Great Flood in' California:— Immense Loss op Phopeety—Sacramen to a Ruined City.—A latter from San Francisco, dated. Jan. 20, gives the follow ing additional particulars of the recent floods in California: The great Noah shower hardly exceeded what we have-had for more than forty days and nights .past. It has rained continu ally, and poured down almost unceasingly since November 9. There has been but about twelve r clear days during the period from that date to this, and the consequence has been that the whole oountry, the val leys and lowlands, are under water, towns and villages swept away, farms and farm houses washed, olean, the water over many being from six to ten fed deep. The Sac ramento Valley, from the month of the Sac ramento to fifty mile's beyond Marysville, and from mountain to mountain, is snb- an area .of two hundred' miles in length and from fifty to sixty miles In breadth—the tops of the trees and an occasional barn roof only being visible.— All the adjacent valleys are,in a similar oondition. In the mining districts the de struction has beep equally great. Flumes, dams,, and quartz mills have been' swept away, in many instances the people- baraly escaping with their lives. The loss of stock, fences, horses, hay, grain and other property is almost beyond calculation, and will foot np millions, bringing utter ruin' upon thousands.. Sac ramento City has been covered from two to six feet deep for a month past, and the people have been driven from their homes to seek refuge in San Francisoo. Publio and private honses have been thrown open to the sufferers, and contributions continue to flow in from the old and yonng, and committees go abont from house to house seeking contributions of money, clothing and provisions, and their efforts are re warded by donations of articles suitable to the wants of the sufferers. St. Louis, Feb 28. The California Steam Navigation Com pany bring down all who present themsel ves, free of charge. On their arrival here the committees take charge of them, and procare lodgings, food and clothing, and seek in every way possible to alleviate the sufferings of the poor oreatures who have lost their all, and from comparative com fort are reduced .to want and despair. Several thousands have been provided for, and more are coming. Where it will end nobody knows. The steamboats go np daily, loaded with clothing and provisions for the destitute at Sacramento, and boats are plying in all directions, picking up people from the tops of houses and barns on the ranches, where they have in many instanoes clnng in desperation for days.— There are, of course, many remote locations that have not yet been reached, and a great loss of life must already have ensu ed. It still continues to “ pour down,” and the waters continne to rise, and no hopes of pleasant weather.

Two years ago it broke out on my head and covered my scalp and ears with one sore, which was painful and loathsome beyond description. I tried many medicines and several physicians, but without much relief from any thing. In fact, the disordpr grew worse. At length I was rqjoiced to rend in the Gospel Messenger that you had prepared an alterative (Sarsaparilla), for I knew from your reputa tion that any thing, you made must be good. 1 sent to Cincinnati and got it, and used it till it eured me. ’ I took it, as you advise, iu email doses of a teaspoonful over a mouth, and used almost three bottles. New and healthy skin soon'began to form under the scab, which after* while fell off. My skin is now dear, and I know by my feelings tlmt the disease has gone from my system. You can well believe that I feel wnat I am saying when I tell you. that I hold you to be one of the apostles of the age. and remain ever gratefully. Yours, ALFRED B. TALLEY.

Y., 12th Sept., 1869, that he has cured an inveterate case of Dropsy, which threatened to terminate fatally, by the persevering use of our Sarsaparilla, and also a dangerous Malirpiant Erysipelas by large doses of the same; says he cures tho common Eruptions by it constantly. Broncliocele, Goitre or Swelled Neck* Zebulon Sloan of Prospect, Texas, writes: “ Three bot tles of your Sarsaparilla eured me from a Goitre —a hid eous swelling on the neck, which I had suffered- from over two years.” Leucorrluta or Whites, Ovarian Tumor, Uterine Ulceration, Female Diseases* Dr. J. B. S, Channing, of New York City, writes ; “ I most cheerfully comply, with the request of your agent in saying I have found your Sarsaparilla a most excellent alterative iu the numerous complaints for which we employ such a remedy, but especially in ffemale Diseases of the Scrofulous diathesis. I have cured many inveter ate eases of Loucorrhaea by it, and some where the com plaint was caused by ulceration of the uterus. The ulcer ation itself was soon cured. Nothing within my knowl edge equals it for these female derangements.” Edward S. Marrow, of Newbury, Ala., writes, “ A dan gerous ocanVm on one of tho females in my family, which had defied all the remedies wo could employ, has at length been completely curod by your Extract of Sar saparilla. Our physician thought nothing but extirpa tion could afford relief, but he advised tho trial of your Sarsaparilla as- the last resort before cutting, and it proved effectual. After faking your remedy eight weoks no symptom of the disease remains.” Syphilis and Mercurial Disease. Nsvr Orleans, 25th August, 1859. Dr. J. C. Ater: Sir, 1 cheerfully comply with tho re quest of your agent, and report to you some of the effects 1 have realired with your Sarsaparilla. I have cured with it, in my pmctlce, most of the com plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its effects truly wonderful in the cure of Venereal and Mer curial Jh'sease. One of my patients had Syphilitic ulcera in his throat, which were consuming his palato and the top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily taken, curod him in five weeks. Auother was attacked by sec- ondary symptoms in his nose. and the ulceration had eaten away a considerable part r>r it, so that I believe the disorder would soon reach his brain and Kill him. But it yielded to my administration of your Sarsaparilla; the ulcers healed, and he is well again, not of courso without some disfiguration to his face. A woman who had been treated for the same disorder by mercury wan suffering from this poison in her Irenes. They had become so sen sitive to the weather that on a damp day she suffered ex cruciating pain in her joints and bones. She, too, was cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla in a few weeks. I know from its formula, which your agent gavo me, that this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great remedy; consequently, these truly remarkable results with it hare uot surprised mu. •fraternally yours, G.

My beloved pastor, the Rev. Mr. lCspy, advised mo to try your Sarsaparilla, because ho said he know yon, and any thing you made wns worth trying.
