We all remember with what intense satisfaction a recant
order of the Secretary of State, Ur. Seward, one of the
chief darks of the President, wee received in certain quar
ters, became it declared that no fugitive slavo should be
retained in custody longer than thirty days, rniiw “by
special order of competent civil authority.”
That 1 may do no injustice to'the bead of the State De
portment and hia unwarranted assumption of power, I
quote the official paper itself:
pzpASfiosT or Sun, WasHcrorov, 1
January 26th, 1862. J
Sis: The President of the United States being satisfied
that the following instructions contravene no law in force
in this District, and that they can be executed without
waiting for legislation by Congress, I am directed by him
to convey them to yon:
As Marshal of the District of Columbia, you wQI not re*
celve into custody any persons claimed to be held to ser
vioeor labor within the District or. elsewhere, ■ and not
charged with any crime or misdemeanor, unless upon ar*
rest of commitment, pursuant to law, as fugitives from
such service or labor; and you will not retain any euch
fugitives In custody beyond a period of thirty days from
their arrest and commitment, unless by special order of
competent authority.
Ton will forthwith cause publication to be made of tbis
order, and at the expiration of ten days therefrom yon will
apply the same to all persons so claimed to be held to ser
vice or labor, and now in yonr custody.
Tbis order has no relation to any arrests made by mill*
tary authority. >
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
While Mr. Seward was Issuing this order for a general
jail delivery of the negroes, be was also sending, under a
usurpation of power, and in violation of the laws and the
Constitution, hundreds of white men and women to fill
the cells of the prisons in this District and throughout the
loyal States. Against many of these white men and white
women thus incarcerated by this despotic Secretary of
State, no charge has ever beon made; they are imprisoned
without the form or authority of law, and thus the per
sonal liberty of the Caocarian is ruthlessly violated while
the African is most tenderly and carefully guarded, even
to the nullification of State enactments and the national
statntes. Let a rumor become entrant that a negro has
been deprived of personal liberty—either in this District
or anywhere elre—and there are dozens of.Bepnblican
members upon this floor striving to obtain the attention
of the Honse while they may offer resolutions inquiring
by whom, when, and where, these objects of their undi
vided affections may have been arrested. But never yet
has any of those philanthropic gentlemen made any in
quiry for the law or the authority under which white
American citizens have been kidnapped by the State De
partment, dragged from their homes, and left to pfne and
die, perchance, in some of the many bastlles which this
Administration has established.
It is well known, sir, that if any white citizen, perhaps
a father or brother, desires to visit a relative or acquain
tance In the military' service of this Government, that be
is obliged to secure n “pass” from some competent au
thority ; and to obtain tbis. he ia required upon his honor
to declare .Lis loyalty and fidelity to this Government. Bat
the negro goes and comes within the lines of onr Army,
whether bis destination be towards or from the enemy;
the color of the black man is bis passport, is received as
equivalent to the pledge of honor and of loyalty upon the
part of a white person.
In this District you have abolished slavery. Yon have
abolished it by compensation, by adding $1,000,000 to the
national debt, and & tax of $73,000 to be paid annnally, as
interest upon tbis sum by taxes imposed upon the laboring
white people of these States. Not satisfied with doing this
much for your especial favorite, you extend the freedom of
this city and the hospitality of the government to all the
runaway negroes in the country who choose to visit the
District of Colombia. Yon issue rations to them day after
day, and week after week, rations which must be paid for
through the Sweat and toil of tax ridden white men.
You are thns snppcrtiug in indolencebundredsopoo hun
dreds of black men. How many and at what cost lam
unable'to state, because when a resolution, asking for
this information, was Introduced by the honorable gentle
man from Ohio, (Mr. Cox) It was Immediately tabled by
the Bepnblican majority upon tbo other side of this House.
Those gentlemen dare not let tbis information go to the
country; they shriDk from tho expbsure which a truthful
reply to such inquiry would make. The resolution of Mr.
Cox also asked for the numbtr of negroes employed as
teamsters in the Army, and at what wages; but tbis was
equally objectionable, for It would have illustrated the
fact that negroes by tbe hundred are receiving better pay
as drivers than our own white sons and brothers are for
periling tbeir lives as soldiers in the defense of the Union
and tbe Constitution.
Having been thus deprived of obtaining official informa
tion upon these questions, I am obliged to gather my
statistics from ench sources as I can. I shall make no
statement that I have not received from respectable aDd
responsible parties, and none which I do not conceive to
be rather under than over the true estimate.
The Government is to-day issuing rations to about two
thousand Degrees in this District alone, that cost over
twenty cents per ration—s4oo per day, in violation of law,
Is being paid for tbis purpose.- Tbe Government is hiriog
in tbe District tevcral hundred negroes, some as teamsters
and scuio for other purposes, to the exclusion of white
laborers. IbouFacds of whom together-with their wives
and children, in our large cities are suffering for the want
of employment. I speak advisedly wbenl s\ythattheße
publicsn party are already paying, of tax gathered money,
in this District alone, over three hundred thousand dollars
per annum to buy, clothe, feed, and exalt the African race.
Thns for the negro yon can expend more in a Bingle year
in the District of Columbia than you appropriate for the
Government and protection of all the people in all the
organized Territories of the United Stateß. Tho negro is
made superior, in yonr legislation, to the pioneer white
men that settle the great West, and, amid hardships and
dangers, lay tho foundations of now commonwealths; the
hardiest and noblest men of our common country.
So the people are taxed yearly more for tho benefit of
tho black race in this District alone than it coets to main
tain the bnrdens of State governments in either lowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Maine. New Hampshire,
Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Dela
ware or Maryland;
But it is not in this District alone that you require the
people to pay tribute to the idol of your affections.
Wherever you find our army, with one or two honorable
exceptions, yon will find that hundreds of rations are beiDg
issued dally to unemployed negroes who rendezvous in and
about tbe camps;' wherever the Army is they are being
employed in various capacities at good wages, and to the
utter exclusion of white labor that now languishes in irk
some idleness throughout the country. I state, therefore,
• and I think truthfully, that the Government is already
paytog $lOO,OOO per day for the support and employment
of negroes—paying it, too, rnt of money raised through
the toil, deprivations, and taxation of onr own kith and
kin.
In my district, Mr. Chairman, my constituents are sell
ing corn at eight cents per bushel In order to Bupport their
familicji and maintain the honor and integrity of onr Gov
ernment. Shall money thns raised and-for such & purpose
be diverted to the entertainment of tbe African ? Will
my people, will the people anywhere, endorse the party and
the Administration that thns seeks the elevation of tbe
negro even at the cost of ruin to tbeir own race?
One might suppose that your ardor in the care and pro
tection of the negro would atop and cool here; bnt no, yon
go still farther. Having made him yonr equal as a civil
ian, you now seek to place him on the same level with
American sailors and soldiers. First came tbe order of
the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Welles, as follows;
Navy Dbpaetment, \
April 30, 1802. /
Sir: The approach of the hot and sickly season upon
the Southern coast of the United States renders it Impera
tive that every precaution should be used by the officers
commanding vessels to continue the excellent sanitary
condition'of their crews The large number of persons
known as “contrabands ” fir eking to the protection of the
United States flag affords an opportunity to provide in every
department of a ship, especially for boats’ crewß, acclimated
labor. Tbe flag officers are required to obtain the services
of these persons for the country by enlisting them fruly
in the Navy, with their consent, rating them as boys, at
eight, nine, or ten dollars per months and one ration. Let
a monthly return be made of the number of this class of
persons employed on each vessel under your command. I
am respectfully, your obdient servant,
GIDEON WELLES.
Under Abe plea cf the approach of the sickly season, Mr.
Welles issues this order; under the samo plea the negro
may be called into any service in tbe Bouth, through tho
rickly season, and the terrible effect it might have upon
onr Army and Navy was not thought of by any Republi
can official until recently.
Having made this progressive step in our Navy, [as my
colleague from the Bureau district, (Ur. Lovejoy) would
call it,) it remains to be emulated in our Army. ' Not long
does it await an imitator. General I). M. Hunter, com
manding io tbe military department of South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, issues an order to enrol companies,
regiments, and brigades of negroes in the military service
Of the United States.
Thus, In less than two years after the accession to power
of the Republican pariy, tbe negro is made, as far aa pos
sible, tbe equal of tbe white man as a civilian, a sailor,
andaßoldler. Nay, mere than this, tbe Constitution is
violated that white men may be bereft of guarantied rights.
White men axe stripped of the armor of American citizen
ship in order that the negro may be clothed therein. All
this has been done against tbe earnest protest of ail con
servative men. And propositions and amendments to bills,
appropriating money for the suppression of the rebellion,
which provided that no moneys should bo diverted either
to tbe freeing, the support, or tbe enlistment of negroes,
have been invariably voted down by the Republican party
in this House.
Worse than this even, General Hnnter, in his zeal for
the negro, withdraws the protection of hia army from the
loyal citizens of Jacksonville, Florida, in erder to perfect
his great negro hoarding hooEe, an African military acade
my at the mouth of tbe Savannah river. This is undoubt
edly in harmony with his brilliant discovery that African
slavery and martial law are incompatible. Common minds
have heretofore considered martial Jaw and slavery, either
for whites or blicksi amongst the most accordant institu
tions upon earth. This proclamatory commander, who
Vies in prcfundlty with the immoral General Phelps, un
doubtedly considers martial law tbe very casket jewel of
American liberty.
My mind, Mr. Chairman, revolts at the idea of degrading
the citizen soldiery of my country to tho level of the
negro. Sir, the American volunteer has always been cur
reliance in peace and our vindication in war. 1 am op
posed, and you will find tbe volunteer army of the Union
opposed, to the equalization in the ranks cf citizens and
slaves. HaviDg-mado such efforts for the negroes of the
United States, it would seem that your zeal in their behalf
would lag and languish. But no; you cow go wandering
among the islands of the sea and ever the continents of
the globe In pursuit of negro principalities and republics
which you may recognize among tho Powers of the earth.
Haytl and Liberia furnish further matter for your infor
mation to fatten upon, and you at once proceed to estab
lish diplomatic relations between the United Btates and
these benighted and half-made parodies upon human gov
ernment.
At an annual expense of thousands of dollars you pro
pose to receive uegro diplomats from them and Send United
States ministers to them; indeed are you the champions
of negro equality, without regard to cost, place, propriety,
or dignity.
This Congress has been in session nearly eight months,
and all that I haTe reviewed you bavo done, aud more you
would do if you could, for the negro. What have you ac
•eomplished for the white man? Have you provided fc-r
the payment of pensions to the soldiers who have been
disabled while fighting tbe battles of yonr country ? Have
you appropriated money to relieve the wants and necessi
ties of the widows and orphans of white men who have
perished upon tbe battle-fields defending tbe Constitution
and tbe flag of the country ? Ab, no; your time has been
too much engrossed with tbe negro to* thick of these
things. You have not appropriated ono dollar for these
purposes—purposes which should enlist tbe ability and
the sympathy of every patriot in the land.
If this statement is incorrect; if this Republican party
or its Administration have ever made a single effort in be
half of the maimed soldierß, a single appropriation for the
support of the orphans and widows of slain soldiers, I
hope some gentleman upon the other side of the House
will correct me. Thar© Is no response, and lam reassured
in the correctness of my assertion by your silence. The
alleviation of the sufferings of white men, or the protec
tion of themrights, is not l& your lino of philanthropy.
Like your lUnstrions prototype, Mrs. Jellaby, of the Bori
bo-te-ga mission, or the Bev. Amlnidab Sleek in tho ploy
ortheßotioim Family, to the political branch of which yuh
Alo.ltionista will soon belong, your sympathies are never
active in behalf of practical and genuine benevolence.
. “f- Otahmao, I am opposed to oil these sickly schemes
fcr eqnaliilng the races. God made the white man snoerior
to the black, and no legislation will undo or chancre the:
decrees of Heaven. They are unalterable as the laws nf
nature, eternal aa divinity itself, and to legislate asainat
them leads us- to infidelity and ruin. Since creation
. dawned, tbe white race has improved and advanced in the
scale of being, bat as the negro was then so.'he is now.
v JBot,” say the Abolitionists, “the African has been
<:|UMiiea with no opportunity for. Improvement.” Who
■ |»Y» the white man an opportunity ? God in his infinite
i jntffoe btoeedthe two teceo upon tbo eartii at the begin*
j iringortimetovrorkont their reipßetlv»: : destinies. -His
toryliaa faithfully recorded theirechlevemant*. To that
impartial tribunal I confidently appeal far lb#
! of.rite- white man's superiority.; As God made them so
have they remained,-and unlike the abolition equalisation*.
i'Jste'l find no fault and utter no complaint against the
| wisdom and justice of onr Creator.
I The evils of the attempted equalisation of the races is
illustrated by the ! history ofMexico. That country was.
settled by tbe intelligent Bp*nla»d, oTraee; not inferior to
our own ancestors. They developed ihe resources of the
country by sbtriiding rood*» highway*-and canals. AH
along tbeir line of march tbe church and the school-house
veto ereeted as landmarks of their But flaaOy
the idea at the equalising of the races became popular;
•■the attempt was made, the races were commingled, and
thenceforward the deterioration of the people was rapid
and faarfol. This bolds true not only in Mexico and
throughout Central and Southern America, but in all sec
tions of the globe wherever the white race has com*
mingled with the black or the Indian* This system of
equalisation has failed to elevate the inferior, bat has
always degraded the superior race. On the other hand,
wherever the purity of the white race has been preserved,
its superiority has continued, and ita development, both
mental and physical, progressed. Neither toil nor climate,
upon this continent or elsewhere, has ever lowered tbe
standard of the governing race.
For three quarters of a century tho United States have
led the van in alt that is groat or useful in inventions.
We have made an errand boy of the lightning: we have
applied steam as a propelling power. In a single year we
have demonstrated the frailty of “ England's wooden
walls” by the construction of our iron clad ships of war;
and at the same time, by the same thought dissipated all
previously entertained opinions of sea-coast and harbor
fortification. Sir, lam satisfied with the history of the
races aa they are, as they were created, and as onr fore*
fathers legislated for them. I claim no originality for
these thoughts; they have been entertained by some of
the ablest statesmen, not only of our country, bnt of Eng*
land, among them Mr. Canning, who, when the British
Parliament was considering schemes kindred to those now
occupying the attention of the Bepnblican party in this
country, said:
“ In dealing with the negro, sir, we must remember that
we are dealing with a being possessing the form and
strength of a man, bnt tbe intellect only of a child. To
turn him loose in the manhood of his physical strength,
In the maturity of bis physical passions, but in the infancy
of bis uninstructed reason, would be to raise up a creature
resembling the splendid fiction of a recent romance, the
hero of which constructs a human form, with all the cor
poreal capabilities of man, and with the thews and sinews
of a giant; bat.being unable to impart to tbe work of bis
hands a perception of right and wrong, he finds too late
that betas only created a more than mortal power of do
ing mischief; and himself recoils from the monster he has
made.” •
One of their great statesmen of to-day, Lord John Bus
sell, whenever he alludes to the black race in America and
to change of ita status, talks only of very gradual emanci
pation, because he knows that sudden and unconditional
emancipation would be destruction to both the negro and
the white man. British statesmen opposed immediate
emancipation upon the ground of expediency alone.
American statesmen should oppoee it, not only upon that
ground, bnt also upon the ground that tho Constitution
gives no power to interfere with the domestic institutions
of tho several States—no such power either in peace or war.
Bat to reach the goal of their hopes, tbe Abolitionists of
tbis country are willing to override expediency, tbe law,
and the Constitution; to destroy the Government itself,
in order to emancipate at once all the slaves of the Sooth.
My colleague [Mr. Lottjot] says two thirds or three-"
fourths of the army are Abolitionists. This may be trne,
bnt upon tbe new constitution for the State of Illinois,
which contains a provision to exclude negroes from loca*
ting within tbe State, tho soldiers do not vote like Aboli
tionists. Elevonof our regiments have already voted upon
the adoption of that constitution.
Mr. Wicklttfe. How did they vote?
Mr. Richardson. Sixty-three votes were given against
it, and all tbe rest—some several thousand—were given
for it.
Throughout the State of Illinois, Abolitionists are rp.
posing this constitution, and Democrats and conservative
men are advocating its adoption.
Four-filths, and perhaps nine-tenths, or all tbe men that
carry moskets and knapsacks In tbe army of tbe Weft are
opposed to the doctrines of negro equality and abolition,
as preached by tbe gentleman from tbe Bureau district of
Illinois. He is a man of great boldness, apparently, and
I must do him the justice to say tbat be advocates aboli
tion and its consequences with great fearlessness,' though
he is too discreet to make as strong speeches in Southern
Illinois os he does at Chicago. He and several other gen
tlemen of kindred opinions favored me by canvassing
through my district during the last campaign tbat I made
for Congress, and it gives me great pleasure to state that
they were quite moderate.
A Votes. Didn’t they give you votes?
Mr. Richaudson. Well, sir, they were like the boy
whom the miDister of the gospel found fishing on Sunday.
Said he, “My boy, you are very wicked, you ought not to
be sporting upon the Sabbath.” “ Oh,” said the boy, “I
ain’t doing no hurt, and ain’t wicked, for I haven’t caught
a single fish.” [Laughter.] So it was with my abolition
friends when they sported in my district; they were not
very wicked, for they caught no fish. [Laughter.]
Sir, I will not digress, but return to the consideration of
the solemn responsibilities tbat are resting upon os. Our
country is menaced by Secessionists in arms, rebels, upon
one hand, aod by Abolitionists, nuliifUrs of tbe laws and
the Constitution, upon tbe other. Sir, I propose bayonets
for tbe former, ballots for tbe latter. These two classes dis
posed of, and there will be a return to the prosperity,
peace, and happiness of the early days of tho Republic.
Sir, these armies were raised to execute the laws aod
maintain tbe authority of the-Constitution in all tbe
States. They are, sir, to suppress armed violators of that
instrument. And, sir, It remains lor the pocple at the
ballot-box to suppress these Northern violators of the Con
stitution, if they would preserve the rights and liberties of
American freemen.
For one, wherever I am called, and whenever, I shall be
always ready to discharge my portion of this duty.
Neither the cry of disloyalty nor the charge of sympathy
with tbe rebels, whether it emanates from usurpers of the
people’s rights in high places, or from base plunderers of
tbe Government, who make the negro a bobby-horse upon
which they ride to enormous and extortionate contracts—
neither, sir, shall deter me from the full aod complete ful
fillment of my duty as a Representative. Idonounce hero
—and no one shall gainsay my right to do so as tbeßepre
sedative of a gallant aDd loyal people—tbo action of this
Congress and of tbe several Departments upon the negro
question. I denounce it as having neutralized to a great
extent the effect of many of the hard-eamod victories
which onr soldiers have fought and won for “the Consti
tution as it is—the Union aa it was.” This, sir, is what
life and happiness has been periled for in tho loyal States ;
for this I now address yon; for this, upon tbis issue, I
shall go before tbe people of my State dnring the coming
fall; for this, sir, I shall expect there to speak, to act, and
to vote; for this sir, I expect tbat extreme men, Abolition
ists and disnnionists, will bo banished from tbe councils of
the nation.
This great work accomplished, grlm-visaged war will
smooth his wrinkled front. The din of arms will be lost
in the bnm of contented industry aod the bymn of domes
tic endearment. The Constitution as it is will stand sub-
nely forth an enduring monument to the wisdom of our
tbers; the States restored, like stars that have wandered,
to their original places in “ the Union as it wasour peo
ple once more on the highway of nations and on the march
towards the fulfilment of destiny which God has assigned
to them.
All these things I hope for, all these things I shall real
ize, unless the people are again deceived by abolition under
a new Dame- Under the Dame of Republican abolition can
do no more harm; in tbat character its role is ended. It
will next appear in a new dress. Already its leaders are
calling loudly for tbe formation of a so-called Union party.
This is indeed an attempt to steal the livery of Heaven in
which to eerve the devil. Let tbe people, being forewarned,
be forearmed against the next appearance of Abolition.
Trust no such affiliations, for one more success of the abo
lition party, under whatever name it may assume, and our
nationality is lostforever, aud the wreck of our Republic
will strew tbe pathway of nations with those of Greece
and Rome. From the contemplation of such a future I
turn in horror—upon such scenes, Mr. Chairman, I trust
my eyes may never rest, over such resalts never weep.
GENERAL MoCLELLAN ON THE BAT
TLE-FIELD.
Correspondents at Chickabominy, writing
on that bloody field, have one uniform tone,
touching tbe patriotism and bravery of tbe
patriotic commander-in chief. We give two or
three extracts:
[Special Correspondence of the Tribune.]
Oh that rain which I described! Had i
not been for that, McClellan would to nigh
have been in Richmond. His plans were
matured, and our march in overwhelming
force and vigor could not have been stopped.
But it is only a question of time with the
commander. I felt to day for the first time a
full sense of the vast labors he undergoes, and
of the exceeding heavy burden of the respon
sibility which weighs down hie heart and his
brain, when I saw him dismount from his
horse at a brook, and baring his head, nek nn
orderly to bathe it with water scooped up in
his hands. Overburdened, harrassed, ham
pered soldier, may the God of Battles give
you success and give you rest 1
[From the N. T. Herald.]
The bridge erected by Sedgwick’s corpß
across the Chickahominy was swept away
after the passage of Gen. Sedgwick’s division
by the swollen and swift curront of the
stream. Gen. McClellan unaware of this fact
dashed with his staff up to its former position
to find it gone. The staff stood aghast at the
appalling faot. What if it had happened be
fore the transit of the troops across the swol
len current to reinforce their brethren in
Casey’s and Couch’s despairing divisions?
Nothing daunted however our idolized young
Napoleon dashed into .the swiftly rolling cur
rent, through which his noble steed safely
carried him to the opposite shore. This was
'not an act of our General to gain the applause
of a multitude, hut one oocuring while he was
surrounded by his staff and a few spectators,
in the discharge of his ordinary duties and
away from the excitement of the field.
[From the Boston Traveler.]
Permit me, before I close my letter, to give'
your readers the position in which General
McClellan is held by the common soldiers, by
the rank and file of the whole army. When
I say that Gen. McClellan is beloved, trusted
and perfectly idolized by every common bol
dier in the army, I am not saying one bit more
than the bare truth. They will follow him
anywhere and ‘ everywhere, for they know, to
a man, that he will not needlessly or unneces
sarily expose them to danger. No matter how
great the peril or difficult the task may seem,
when he commands they will cheerfully obey,
and, with Ihemoßt unbounded o jnfidence, will
face any danger or overcome any obstacle.—
In faot, the feeling towards General McClellan
partakes almost of adoration. With such a
General, the Union causo can never fail.
General McClellan had rode over very early
on Sunday morning, and when the fight be
gan he immediately rode down the Williams
burg road, and over the whole scene of action,
whioh he directed; His presence excited the
most intense enthusiasm in the troops, both
on the field and later in the day, when he rode
along the lines and looked kindly on the shat
tered regiments that had been in Saturday’s
fight. To these brave fellows— “ few and
faint, bnt fearless still,”—the yonng Com
mander addressed a few words of pleasant
encouragement that thrilled every ear, and
then rode away.
. . [From the N. Y. Evening Post]
General Mcdellan rode over the field where
the battle of Hanover ooonrred, and was
: greetedwith tremenduous enthusiasm by the
thouaands of -brave hearts who had participa
f-ted in theengagement.

THE RECENT FRESHETS.
Mauch Chunk, Jane 9,1862.
To the Editor of the Press:
Sib: Never, I believe, in tbe history of
Pennsylvania, has a county suffered so disas
trously as Carbon did last week by the freshet.
The public improvements through our regions
have been swept almost entirely from one end
to the other. Canal dams, bridges, looks, coal
schutes, and great portions of. the railroads
have beon utterly demolished. Hundreds of
boats were torn from their moorings and car
ried down with the angry current, and many
richly freighted with human life. Great
portions of villages—many houees and im
provements—were lifted as if by magic from
their foundations and harried down the river
to swell its mighty and impetuous torrents.
Tbo loss of life is frightfully fearful. At
'this writing, it is said that upwards of one
hundred. and fifty dead bodies have been
found ! Hundreds of widows and orphans are
mourniDg for husbands and fathers I Many
are without bomep, without clothes and with
out food! No pen can exaggerate the picture;
it is Bad in the extreme. Charity has work
before her, and many of our ladies are now
ministering angels. I trust the generous of
your "city will not bo deaf to the calls of the
wants here. I could instances that
would move the sympathies of the coldest
hearted.
Mauoh Chunk is almost isolated from the
rest of the world. Many of the roads leading
to our once pleasant and delightful are
entirely wiped out, and washed into the very
rocks of the mountains; and, what is worse
than all, the borough does not poßsess,the
means to rebuild them. I may say, too, the
county cannot rebuild the bridges swept away
with, the money at the disposal of the com
missioners, nor can a tax be laid or collected
to do it. Indeed, it is a serious question what
shall or can be done under the circumstan
ces.
The strong and powerful corporations will
rebuild their works. They are pushing their
improvements with mighty energy, but they
oan do no more than take care of themselves.
Mauch Chunk and Carbon county are really
iu a deplorable condition .* I hope, however,
that something may be done to afford .some
relief.
In the midst of all our troubles oomes the
news from the battle field that our brave
mountain boys have been in the sanguinary
conflict of Fpir Oaks, and among the slain we
read the name of our gallant and chivalrous
Colonel Miller, of the 81st, who commanded a
company from this place in Mexico, and had
upwards of four hundred of our men in his
regiment, and many of them have followed
him. They have fought their last fight. The
pall hangs heavy upon us.
Extraordinary Scheme of a Forger
Foiled.— On Monday, a week ago, J. Bu
chanan Cross, a notorious forger, who is
serving a term of imprisonment in the East
ern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, had suc
ceeded in addressing a letter to the U. S.
Marshal.of Philadelphia, purporting to have
come from the Assistant Secretary of War,
Mr. Watson, asking for the immediate re
lease of the prisoner himself, as he “ was
wanted to be used on special business by the
War Department ; that he was to be sent
South, and that his speedy release was desir
able.” The Marshal went through all the
forms directed in the letter, and with a Depu
ty Marshal, got the prisoner (Cross) out of
the Penitentiary and took him to Washington,
to the office of the Secretary of War, where
the party astonished Secretary Stanton and
his Assistant,Jthe latter pronouncing the letter
to the Marshal to be a forgery. Mr. Cross*
intention was to effect his escape from tbe
Marshal, bat he was unsuccessful, aDd is now
back in his old aquatera at the Penitentiary.

It is a conveniently arranged BELT, containing a

entirely removes the disease from the system, with-* 1 *
* out the fallacious use, in such cases, of powerful in
ternal medicines, which weaken and destroy the con- B
£4 stitntion and give temporary relief only by stupifying
the system and deadening its vitality. By this treat-
J’meDt, the medicinal properties contained in the
~ BAND, being of a highly aromatic and volatile nature
and capable of being readily absorbed, through then
g pores of the skin, come into direct contact with the
Blood and general circulation, without first
D to pass through tho stomach, which would tend noV
M only to detract from their curative powers, but to
impair the internal organs and derange the digestion *3

"-the result of Internal remedies, and effecting aN

most cheerfully comply with the request of your agent in
saying I hare foTmd your Sarsaparilla a most excellent
alteratives in the . numerous* complaints for which we
employ such a remedy, but especially, in female Diseases
of the Scrofulous diathesis. I have cured many inveter
ate cases of Leucorrhcea by it, and some where the com
plaint was caused by ulceration of the ufrrur. The ulcer-.
ation itself was soon cured. Nothing within 'my knowl
edge equals it for these female derangements” •
Edward S. Marrow, of Newhury, Abu, writes, “A dan
gerous owman tumor on one of the females in my family,
which had defied all the remedies we could employ, has
at length been completely cured by your Street of Sar
saparilla. Our physician thought nothing but extirpa
tion could afford relief, hut he advised the trial of your
Sarsaparilla as the last resort before cutting, and it
proved effectual. After taklngyour remedy eight weeks
no symptom of the disease remains.”
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease*
New Orleans, 25th August, 1859.
Dr. J. C. Ayer : Sir, I cheerfully comply with the re
quest of your agent, and report to you some of the effects
1 have realized with Jour Sarsaparilla.
I have cured with it, in my practice, moat of the com
plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its
effects truly wonderful in the euro of Yeneieal and A/er
curial Disease. One of my patients had Syphilitic ulcers
in his throat, which were consuming his palate and the
top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily taken,
cured Jam in five weeks. Another was attacked by sec
ondary symptoms in his nose, and tbe ulceration had
eaton away a considerable part of 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 ho is well agoiu, not of course without
some disfiguration to his face. A woman who had been
treated for the same disorder by mercury waa suffering
from this poison in her bones. They had become so sen
sitive to the weather that on a damp day she suffered ex
cruciating pain in her joiuts and bones. She, too, was
cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla in a few weeks. I
know from its formula, which your agont gave me, that
this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great
remedy; consequently, these truly remarkable'results
with it have not surprised me.
Fraternally yours, G. V. LARIMER, M. D.
Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint*
Independence, Prestou Co., Va., 6th July, 1859.
Dr. J. C. Ayer: Sir, I have been afflicted with a pain,
ful ehronic Rheumatism for a long time, which baffled the
skill of physicians, and stuck to mo In spite of all the
remedies I could find, until I tried your Saroaparllla. One
bottle cured mo in two weeks, and restored -my general
health so much that I am far better than before I.was
attacked. I thiulc it a wonderful medicine. J. FRUAM.
Jules Y. Getcbell, of St. Louis, writes: “I have been
afflicted for years with an affection of the Liver, which
destroyed my health. I tried evory thing, and every thing
failcAto.rciieve mo; and I have been a broken-down man
for somo years from uo other cause than derangement qf
the Liver. My beloved pastor, the Rev. Mr. Espy, advised
mo to try.your Sarsaparilla, because ho said ho knew yon,
and any thing you made was worth trying. Dy the bless
ing of Uod it lias cured 'me, and has so purified my blood
as to mnko a new umn of me. I feel young again. The
best that can be said of you Is not half good enough.”

ISM,
A great variety of coses have been reported to us where
cures of these formidable complaints havo resulted from
the use of this remedy, but our spaco here will not admit
them. Somo of them may ho found in our American
Almanac, which the agents below namod are pleased to
furnish gratis to nil who call fer them.
Dyspepsia, Heart Disease, Flts,*Epilep*
sy, .Melancholy, Neuralgia.
Many remarkable cures of these affections have been
made by the alterative power of tills medicine. It stimu
lates tbe vital functions into vigorous action, and -thus
overcomes disorders which would bo supposed beyond its
reorb. Such a remedy lias long beeri Required by the ne
cessities of the people, and wo nro confident that this will
do for them nil that medicine can do.

Tliia Is a remedy so unirersaliy known to surpass any
other for the enro of throat and lung complaints, that ft
is useless here to publish tlio evidence of its virtues. Its
unrivalled excellence for- coughs and colds, and its truly
wonderful cures of pulmonary disease, have mado It
known throughout tho civilized nations of the earth.'
Few aro the communities, or even families, among them
who have not’some personal experience of its effects—
some living trophy in their midst of its victory over the
subtle and dangerous disorders of the throat and lungs.
As all know the dreadful fatality of these disorders, and
as they know, too, the effects of this remedy, we need not
do more than to assure them that it has now all the Vin
tues that it did have when making the cures which have
wou so strongly upon the Confidence of mankind.
