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 peristnce be given to the fanatics who coun -01-euch-Wdangcrous step. , Pet their pro ibeffeaos-,bet What theynwifiN: they are not • ge, 1iag74067 1 And sensdniAir the en - .

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.] OAPT.

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.

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 • 4 CHENCK'S MEDICINES, viz: PULMONIC SYR UP, SEA-WEED TONIC and MANDRAKE PILLS— aII of which are accompanied by fmNl directions for the use of them. Dr SCHENCK has a suite of rooms in each of the large cities where he has an extensive prac tice. All persons who wish to consult with him, will meet with kind and attentive treatment. He makes no charge for advice. The MANDRAKE PILLS, andother medicines may be had at No. 140 WOOD STREET, Pittsburgh, Pa. Price 2.4 route PER BOK. Can be seat by mail to any address.
