JOHN O. BILEOKINBIDGE-A BAD
EXAMPLE.
The treason of this man has at last ta
ken form, and shape, and direction. lie
has for months past been the bold and un
blushing apologist of the Rebellion, and
only awaited opportunity :to consummate
his treason. Throwing himself into the
arms of his Southern confederates, be will
share their fate and infamy, and forfeit
forever the high opinion entertained of his
character and patriotism by hosts of too
partial friends and admirers. Possessing,
as all concede he does, great and com
manding talents, a dignified and seductive
address, and all the essentials of of suc
cessful statesmanship, no man in the coun
try of his years had enjoyed a larger de
gree of public favor or had before him a
more brilliant and promising future. In
the broad and plain path of public duty in
a crisis like this, there was before Mr.
BAKCILINRIDGE a rich harvest of honors
and usefulness. Owing all he was as a
citizen and statesman to the liberal and
fostering genius of the Government, it was
parricidal ingratitude in him to league him
self with its enemies in their attempts to
strike it down. Above all others, he should
have clung to it and battled for it.
Mr. BRECKINRIDGE'S treason to his coun
try has but recently culminated, but his
treason to the Democratic party had a much
older date. It began in his abandonment
of the well understood and clearly defined
doctrines of the party on the vexed and
vexatious subject of slavery, and reached
its climax when he accepted a Presidential
nomination from a handful of disappointed
and desperate political adventurers, who,
it is now palpably evident, were as intent
upon the disintegration of the country as
upon the disorganization and defeat of the
Democratic party. Had he adhered inflex
ibly to the Democratic faith and organiza
tion, the success of Mr. DOUGLAS would
have been placed beyond peradventure, and
the troubles now upon the country might
have been wholly averted. Truly a terrible
responsibility rests upon Mr. BRECKINRIDGE
for his treachery to his party and for his
complicity in intrigues which were intended
to destroy it. His offences were grave
enough, and hard enough forgiven or for
gotten, without superadding treason to the
Government that made and nourished him.
'his last folly and crime overshadows all
his other sins, and terminates a career
which otherwise might have made his
name and reputation a rich legacy to his
family and countrymen.
We regret to see, on the part of some of
our Republican cotemporaries, a disposi
tion to hold Mr. BRECKINRIDGE'S friends
and supporters at the North responsible
for his treason. This is most unjust, un
generous and unfair. The Democrats at
the North who cast their votes for him
were honest, but misguided men, who nev
er harbored a suspicion of his loyalty, and
who are now, almost to a man, lending
their cordial and efficient co-operation to
the Administration in its efforts to main
tain the authority of the Government and
the majesty of the laws. Every pulsation
of the Democratic heart is for the UNION,
and every effort will be put forth by the
Democratic masses to consolidate and per
petuate it.
ULTRA ABOLITIONISM AND NEGRO
EMANCIPATION.
There is a strong disposition evinced at
present by Northern Abolitionists to divert
the War from its original purpose of sus
taining and perpetuating the Government,
and convert it into a vast scheme of negro
emancipation. The New York Tribune,
in a late article "announced its' anxiety
for several Bull Run disasters, provided
they would have the effect of uniting the
Northern people in favor of immediate
emancipation." This is the language of
other kindred prints, and of most politi
cians of the "Tribune" ilk, and may be
received as an indication and foreshadowing
of the fanatical aims of ultra Abolition
iota. That their purposes will be defeated,
however, we have every reason to believe,
unless the Administration is overawed by
their threats and bravado, and of this we
indulge no apprehensions. The objects of
the war were very clearly set forth in the
President's Message and in the Resolutions
of Congress at the extra session, and should
be consistently and persistently adhered
to. In no other way can the war command
the undivided support of the Northern peo
ple, and in no other way can the (J ion
men of the South maintain their present
status. Abolitionism has always been a
dangerous element in our politics, but it is
- especially so at this time, when a single
firwial act in the direction of negro eman
cipation would literally wipe out every ves
tige of Union sentiment in the border
and seceded States, end stir up dissensions
atom ourselves which would prove most
4fiastrous and mischievous: Let-no noun

GOOD NEWS FOR THE FARMER--
BREADSTUFF FOR EUROPE.
There is a great deficiency in crops in
France, and a similar lack in Belgium,
Holland and Spain, though to a smaller
extent; and American farmers are likely
to have an excellent market for their sur
plus Grain. Thirty-five ships are now
loading with wheat at New York for
Havre, and it is estimated that it will re
quire an expenditure of $200,000,000 on
the part of the French to supply themselves
with foreign breadstuffs the present Win
ter. Already the shipments from New
York has amounted to over 2,000,000
bushels of wheat, 100,000 barrels of flour,
and 65,000 bushels of corn. "The de
ficiency of the French wheat crop, to be
made up in a great measure from this coun
try, is variously estimated at from 60,-
000,000 to 80,000,000 bushels. This we
probably cannot furnish; but we can fur
nish Indian Corn in almost any quantity,
and as France has made a beginning with
that grain, its great cheapness will prob
ably bring it into general u%e in a time
when wheat is scarce and dear. If this
season of dearth in France should have
the effect of introducing Indian Corn into
France as a regular article of food among
the poorer classes, the benefit.to the United
States farmers will oe incalculable.
It is estimated by an established Lon
don authority that the necessities of
Europe will require weekly shipments from
this country and from the Baltic and
Black Sea ports of 2,769,224 bush els of all
grains, during the whole of what is called
"the cereal year," ending August 31st,
1862. Suppose that we are called on to
furnish only one-half of the quantity,
what an enormous business is created!—
Unfortunately our crops, in some of the
Western States, are not as good as was
hOped for, so that there may be a difficulty
in obtaining as much wheat and corn as
Europe will want from us, as well as a
difficulty in transporting it. But the for
eign demand will be sure to raise prices,
and thus our farmers will profit as greatly
as they would were their crops abundant.
It is a great and Providential thing, that
in a season of war, when business is so
much depressed, the agricultural interests
—the main source of the nation's wealth—
are likely to be benefitted. While we are
importing so few foreign goods, and ex
porting our own productions so largely, l we
are strengthening ourselves for bearing
the burdens of war."
OCOTTERENOR
On Thursday morning last, a little
daughter of Mr. A. J. SHRIVER, residing
some two miles East of Waynesburg, was
burnt to death from her clothes taking fire.
Her mother, we understand, had left the
house but a moment before to get a bucket
of water, and on her return found the child
enveloped in flames, and before they could
be extinguished, was fatally burned. She
was only about three years old, and was
very interesting and promising.
FIRE AT BROWNSVILLE.
We understand that quite a destructive
fire occurred at Brownsville on Friday
morning last. It was confined to the lo
cality termed the "Neck," and consumed
eleven buildings, with the principal por
tion of their contents. The "Times" es
tablishment, we regret to learn, was de
stroyed. Our friend BROWN has our sincere
sympathy in his loss.
OP.
WINTER SESSION OF WAYNESBURG
COLLEGE.
The Winer Session of this institution
opens on Monday next, and we believe with
fair prospects, notwithstanding the times
and the state of the country. The advan
tages of a first-class literary institution to a
community are tbo apparent to need sum
ming up, and should stimulate our people
to renewed efforts to render the College
eminently prosperous. The attendance
from abroad, at the approaching Session,
we are happy to learn, is likely to be quite
as large, if not larger then usual.
OLOTIFING.
Ready-made Clothing is the "rage" now
a-days, and there is no bettlrr place to buy
it at than at CLARK'S Emporium, fronting
the Court House. There are few better
judges of wearing material and apparel
than our friend "NATTY," and the assort
ment he is now receiving and opening is
one of the fullest. and finest ever brought
to the place, and we are assured will be
sold at unprecedentedly low figures, all
things considered. Our "rugged" acquain
tances (Jusrus TEMPLE among the num
ber,) would do well to replenish their
wardrobes, as CLARK has garments suited
'to every age, taste and purse. Hie adver
tisement will appear in our next.
[P.. S. Since penning the above, TEMPLE
has closed negotiations with CLARK for a
new coat! and as be has no further use for
his horse blanket, we propose receiving
sealed bids for it till Christmas. As it has
only been in actual use about 14 years,
and is admirably arranged for ventilla
tion, containing about 27 moth holes to
the square inch, no bids at less than origi
nal cost will be received.]

For the Messenger
CAMP LAFAYETTE, UNIONTOWN, PA., }
October 22nd, 1861.
EDITORS MESSENGER :—Since wri
ting my last communication, our
Captain has arrived in Camp bring
ing with him several old members of
the Company who had been absent
on furloughs, together with some
new recruits. lie also brings the
cheering intelligence that the people
of Greene, one and all, are engaged
in procuring recruits, and advancing
the interests of the Fifth Company of
Green County's volunteers. On Sat
urday last. Rev. J. N. PIERCE arrived
in camp, as our regularly appointed
chaplain, bringing with him four new
recruits; and since that time another
has been added. formerly a member
ofCapt. KNICELEY'S company. Thus,
the skies begin to brighten, and the
prospects of our company being filled
up, look more cheering than at any
former period. Perhaps it is well
that such is the ease, for the rumor
has gone though the camp, that all
the companies must be made up to
their minimum number (eighty-three,)
very shortly, and soon be •'on the
march." But this may be like the
many :other rumors that are so fre
quently afloat on the sea of public
gossip, having not a particle of foun
dation in truth. Only this morning
a report of this kind, I suppose, has
been "going the rounds" of the camp,
to the import that very soon we
were to receive our caps, blankets,
and overcoats.
Various are the conjectures as to
our probable destination, some confi
dently asserting that we will go to
Harrisburg to drill, others that For
tress Monroe will be our winter quar
ters. But concerning this matter the
'common soldier knows very little, all
such movements being kept strictly
concealed from subordinates, and, in
deed from officers, except those in
"high places." Every onewith whom
I converse, is impatient fora uniform,
a rifle, and something to do to re
lieve the tedium of camp life. But
life here will never be visited by
ennui if each one will only keep his
mind employed. The soldier will
never sleep on guard if he keeps his
! mind filled with useful and good
thoughts; and he will not grow tired
and weary, if he only properly em
ploys those senses which his Creator
has given in examining the objects of
thought that everywhere surround
him. Casting our eyes above we can
trace the constellations there placed
by the Omnipotent,—beneath, with a
Geologic eye, penetrate earth's crust,
causing it to reveal the mysteries of
past ages,—and around, view the for
est trees,. assisted by the Botanist.

thought for the soldier without
but also far greater ones with*. Let

It is also a fine -- locality for the Geol

what, in soldiers phrase, is called "a

fence. The sentinel near whom he
alighted took after him "double quick"
for a considerable distance, but find

the chase, amid great cheers and

The Battle at Edward's Ferry--Full Par
ticulars of the Affair--Partial List of Kill
ed and Wounded.
POOLSVILLE, October 22.—The fol
, lowing report of the battle of Bull's
Bluff, midway between Conrad's
Ferry and Edward's Ferry, and op
posite Harrison's Island, which occur
ed yesterday, is gained from authen
tic sources :—On Sunday night, Col.
Devin, of the 15th Massachusetts
regiment, who had for some time
guarded Harrison's Island with one
company, ordered Captain Philbrick,
of Company H, and Quartermaster
Howe. of his staff, with a detachment
of two hundred men to scout the
Virginia shore in the direction of
Leesburg. They crossed, from the
Island to the shore, and executed
the order by approaching within
three quarters of a mile of Leesburg,
returning to their starting point
about ten o'clock at night, discover
ing, as they supposed, a small camp
one mile or more from Leesburg.
On reporting to Col. Devin, the
latter, with about 300 men, pushed
forward as directed by Gen. Stone
in same locality, with orders to de
stroy the camp. At daybreak the
scouts returned to Col. Devin, who
remained with his command conceal
ed, and word was sent back that no
enemy was in Capt. Philbrick's com
pany took an advanced position,
while the remaining companies were
concealed as a reservein case of an at
tack on the advance. When about a
mile and a half from the river and
five hundred yards in advance of Col.
Devin's reserve, Captain Philbriek,
accompanied by Col. Devin in person,
attacked and drove back a company
of Mississippi riflemen, and then fell
back to the reserve concealed in the
rear, on the appearance of a body of
rebel cavalry. In the skirmish
Capt. Philbriek had difficulty in get
ting near enough to the enemy for
his smooth bore guns to have much
effect, whereas the enemy used long
range rifles on our forces.
At daylight, and the same hour
that Col. Devin's command left the
shore to make the advance, Col. Lee,
of the 20th Massachusetts, sent over
one company of his regiment, which
remained on the shore to cover the
return of Col. Devin. The Colonel,
however, maintained his ground, and
was reinforced during the morning
by 300 more of his regiment, and er
Lieut. Col. Ward. About 1 o'clock
he was attacked by a considerable
force of riflemen, who attempted to
outflank him. Fearing that they
might be successful, and after resist
ing them for some time, Col. Devin
slowly retreated in perfect order to
the river shore.
General Baker had arrived with a
battalion of the California Regiment,
commanded by Lieut. Col. Wistar.
General Baker then took command,
first complimenting Col. Devin for
his successful resistance to a supe
rior force and giving his command, ;
now less than six hundred men, the
right of the line of battle, the centre
and left being formed of about three
hundred of the Massachusetts Twen
tieth,
under Col. Lee, and the Cali
fornia battalion, about five hundred
in number, under Lieut. Col. Wistar;
two mountain howitzers, commanded
by La French, and one piece of the
N. Y., battery, commanded by Lieut.
Barnhall, were in front of the centre,
just previous to the commencement
of the action.
The attack was commenced by the
enemy on our right, but was soon
directed more heavily to the centre
and left. For about ten hours the
battle raged terrifically; a complete
shower of leaden hail fell. Three
several times the left of the line
made an advance, but was compelled
to retire as often. The right was
better protected, and held their po
sition. An order came from Gen.
Baker to throw two companies of the
15th Massachusetts to the centre,
which was immediately etecuted.—
This produced the impression that
the battle was going against us, but
caused no confusion or dismay. The
left was hard pressed but remained
firm.
About this time the news spread
that Gen. Baker was killed while in
the act ofpushing a cannon forward
with his shoulder to the wheel, when
he was pierced by
. six balls. ' He was
evidently the object of the enemy's
sharp shooters. After this there was
a cessation of the fire for a few min
utes, during which Col. Cogswell, of
the Tammany regiment arrived with
two companies, and he being the
senior officer, the command devolved
upon him. In a short time it became
evident to Col. Cogswell that the day
was lost, and he thought' it best to
cut his way through to .F.dwardi .
Ferry, where General german was
in charge, throwing over riskidli ree
ikpta,, by direction or V* k u V ii
irk. was kii4#4, of 41heloplik
SeVarttlraiity, direedig.4bir gesso.
An order was mow issued to tarsus
fer the 15th Massachusetts from the
right to the left, which was executed
as calmly as at a battalion drill. Col.
Cogswell soon became satisfied of the
improbability of reaching Edwards'
Ferry, as desired, and gave an order
to fall back towards the river, which
was executed as well as the circum
stances would permit. Theyreached
the river bank about twenty minutes
before nightfall. Here the Fifteenth
deployed as skirmishers along the
shore. The only means of convey
ance to the island was a large boat
capable of carrying about forty per
sons, which was over-crowded and
swamped, and another boat of small
dimensions.
The troops marching along the
shore made a desperate resistance,
and .it is believed the enemy took
comparatively few prisoners in conse
quence. Those who could swim plun
ged into the water, many carrying
their arms with them, and others
threw them into the river to prevent
them falling into the enemy's hands.
Some escaped by availing themselves
of the darkness and the heavily wood
ed banks, but several are known to
have been drowned in the waters of
the Potomac.
The behavior of our troops before
a superior number of the enemy was
marked by noble bravery and endu
rance. Near the close of the action,
and after the day was irretrievably
lost, the two companies of the Tam
many regiment which had just arri
ved made a desperate charge on the
enemy, but were
. met with a terrific
fire. It is probable that the officer
who appeared in front and gave the
order to make this charge was a se
cession officer, and was mistaken by
our men for one of their commanders.
The brave Lieut. Bramhall, of the
New York Ninth battery, lost one of
his guns, and was himself wounded
severely but not fatally. The gallant
Lieut. French, of the howitzer bat
tery, fired four shots with his own
hands after the day was lost and his
own men had scattered ; he was shot
in the left breast and ankle, but not
mortally. On reaching the island,
whieh'he did by throwing his sword
and revolver into the river and swim
ming across, Col. Diven at once
posted thirty of his men so as to pre
vent any attempt of the enemy at
pursuit. This force was subquently
augmented by the arrival there of
other companies from the Maryland
shore, under Col. Hicks, of the 19th
Massachusetts.
Col. Devins received a slight con
tusion in the neck from a musket
ball. The killed and wounded :—Col.
Wistar of Philadelphia, in command
of the California regiment. is suppo
sed to be mortally wounded. The
following commissioned officers of the
Massachusetts 15th were killed :
Capt. Rockwood, Co, A; Capt. Sim
onds, Co. B; Capt. Bowman, Co. C.
The following were probably killed :
Capt. Studly, company D ; 2d Lieut.
Grout, 2d Lieut. 1% assal, company E;
Capt. Gatchell, company K. The fol
lowing men were wounded in the reg
iment: Lieut. Col. Ward, leg ampu
tated; Capt. Sloan, company F, slight
ly ; Capt, Forshand, company G ;
First Lieut. Holden, company G ;
Capt. Philbrick, company H, slightly;
Col. Lee, of the Massachusetts 20th,
and Col. Cogswell, of the Tammany
regiment, are probably prisoners.
As an instance of the weight and
concentration of the enemy's fire, the
clothing and equipments of Quarter
master Howe, of the 15th Massachu
setts, bore the marks of four rifle
shots, one ball passing through the
crown of his cap, and another flatten
ing on the plate of his belt, yet he
was uninjured. Most of the wound
ed have been conveyed to their re
spective encampment hospitals. The
enemy's force was very large. Their
positions were well selected from a
familiar knowledge of the country.
There is at present no means of ascer
taining the loss of the enemy, but it
must have been immense, as our few
pieces of artillery were served with
accuracy and terrific effect.
It is proper to state, in connection
with the foregoing, that Gen. Stone's
orders to Col. Baker were to advance
a brigade, including a battery, to the
support of Col. Devin, arid to attack
the enemy in force only in case of a
knowledge of their superior numbers
and of his ability to defeat them, but
under no consideratios to bring on a
general engagement between the
main forces of both sides.

THE MANDRAKE PILLS,
=I
CURE FOR DISEASED LIVER,
alim
MANY DANGEROUS MALADIES WHICH ARE
CAUSED BY ♦ MORBID CONDITION
OF THAT ORGAN
To give the public a clear understanding of the
mode in which SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
produce those wonderful effects which are attested by
thousands of reliable witnesses. we present a brief
DESCRIPTION OF THE HUMAN LIVER
and its functions, which will make the operation of
this popular medicine perceptible to every man's un
derstanding.
The Liver is supplied with blood-vessels, nerves and
absorbents. One of its obvious uses is to secrete and
prepare the bile. It likewise filters the blood and sep
arates that fluid from all its impurities. How indis
pensably necessary to health is the proper performance
of this 'function! If the liver is diseased it Cannot
purify the blood, and if that is sent back through the
lungs, brain and other parts in a morbid condition, it
Must
.cause jaundice, biliousness, obstruction of the
kidneys, gravel and many %bey complaints, more or
less painful and dangerous, but the least of them quite
enough to make a man sick and uncomfortable, and
unfit for the performance of any of the duties of life.
This unhealthy state of the system very often ends in
pulmonary consumption.
The circulation of the blood is conducted in this
manner: The heart sends the vital current down thro'
the arteries, it passes through the flesh, taking up all
impurities in its progress, then the stream of blood
flows backward through the veins and passes to the
liver to he purified. It is impossible to cure consump
tion, scrofula, scarcely any other kind of ulceration,
while that hoportant organ, the Liver, is diseased. It
is fbr that reason that regular physicians rarely cure
consumption. They usually begin their treatment
with the use of some cough medicine, the base of
which is morphia or opium in some shape, which lock■
up the liver, instead of relaxing the secretions, giving a
tone to the stomach, at d producing a healthy flow of
bile.
DR. SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills,
will strengthen the system, purify the blood, and ripen
and heal ulcers on Vie lungs.
In tuttercu Irma consumption, where the stomach and
liver is genetally in a tolerably healthy condition, the
Pulmonic Syrup alone will root out all impurities of
the blood. and restore the patient to health, if the
cavities in the lungs are not too deep. But where con
sumption originates, as two-thirds of the cases do in
this section of the country, sympathising from a tprpid
liver or disordered stomach, it requires the Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, in connection, to bring
them in action- -then the Pulmonic Syrup seems to go
or di-solve into the blood, and thus throw out all im
purities; then consumption and scrofulous diseases
must yield to those medicines tf properly taken. They
have cured thousands, and other thousands are now
being cured by them. SCIIENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS are doing more to regulate the stomach and
liver than any other medicine invented. Thousands
are using them now, in this city and elsewhere, and
every one is astonished at their good effects. When
the diseased state of any part of the body requires
purgatives, these Pills always reach the seat of the
disease. They are as harmless as bread, hqt far more
powerful than calomel or any other mineral poison in
their curative efft as. Almost every day some person,
who has been cured by them, comes to Ur. Schenck's
office and relates the wonders they have performed.
Froth some persons they have expelled large worms;
from others morbid matter, and front others again,
clear bile.
WONDERFUL CURES
In certain cases, persons who had been ill for a long
time with diseased liver—skin shallow, tongue coated,
bowels costive, breath offensive, &c., were restored to
health and the perfect enjoyment of life, by the use of
this medicine. Some who were thug relieved had be
come so dull, drowsy, or lethargic that they scarcely
had energy enough to move hand or foot.
In such cases, the ailment is often caused by worms.
By using SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS, the
stale bile and corrupt matter which constitute what
are called the "worms' beds" are worked off, and the
worms themselves pass off with them. Some weeks
ago a lady told Dr. Schenck that she had taken the
Pills for liver complaint, but to her surprise, the medi
cine brought away several worms, each about ten
inches in length.
An old gentleman, of Baltimore, who had been in a
wretched condition for a long time took the SEA
WEED TONIC and MANDRAKE PILLS, after which
he passed thousands of small worms (ascarides,) and he
is now perfectly well.
A lady came to Dr. Schenck at the Marlborough Ho
tel. Boston; she was supposed by her physicians to be
afflicted with tape worm. She had severe pains and
sensation of something moving and twisting inside of
her. These feelings. at times, almost thaew her into
convulsions. It would creep up into her throat and
appear to bite; the only way to quiet it was to drink
milk, when it would settle down and go to sleep. She
would have to take a quart to bed with her every night
for that purpose. Site was very costive, skin yellow,
and dried up to a mere shadow. Dr. Schenck gave
her four MANDRAKE PILLS every night fora week,
and the SEA-WEED TONIC according to the direc
tions, which only moved the bowels slightly once a
day, and which in ordinary persons would have pity
sicked severely; but it sickened the anipial, and
she found she did not crave any mote Intik. At
the end of a week Dr S. gave her a double dose, say
eight or ten Mandrake Pills, end soon after she passed
a large quantity of mucus and slime, in which was im
bedded a large lizard. Front this time she began to
recover, and is now perfectly well. This shows what
can be done with proper medicine and proper treat
ment. Any person that imagines that they have got
tape-worm, or any other kind of worm, if they will
take sufficient Mandrake Pills every day for a week or
ten days to relax the secretion, but not to purge, then
take a dose large enough to physic severely, it willcar
ry off all morbid matter in the system, and if nothing
of the kind should be there, it will cleanse the system,
and leave the patient in a healthy condition
A volume would he required to give a brief account
of the remarkable cures performed by DOCTOR
