Rxttixg, etc A large numbertf rafts pas
sed down the river the latter part of Inst week,
and on Sunday and Monday. Many of theso,
no doubt, will reach Marietta within a ftw
days. On Monday evening the atmosphere
was quite cool, and up this morning (Wednes
day) about three or ftfur inches of snow Sas
fallen. This cold "snap" caused the tipper
streams to fall rapidly, and consequently no
rafts are running at present.
TnE Wounded We are informed that John
H. Carr, William Loiicr, Wm. II. Stott and
John Albert, four Clearfield county soldiers,
who were wounded in the battle at Winches
ter, are now at the St. Joseph' Hospital, on
Glrari Avenue between 16th and 17th streets,
Philadelphia. Carr is wounded in the thigh,
Lozier Id tho knee, Stott has the fore finger
of the left hand shot off, and AIIert was shop
through the foot. The three first named are
doing well. Albert does not seem to bo im
proving much, ho having been unwell before
he was wounded. A brother of Loaier's, who
was also in ths battle but received do wounds,
it at the hospital taking care of the other boys.

the nsiBicr or cdlumbia bill.
We sre glad to see, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin., that .Northern men have the courage
to kjiunk out clearly ou the subject of remov
ing slavery from the District of Columbia.
The bill passed by the Senate is no wild aboli
tion ftcheiiie, driven hip and thigh, without
ren, under the influence of a blind fan it i
cisni. It is a well arranged bill, in which the
Tights of all concerned are duly considered,
si d there can be no reasonable objection to it.
It is, w m think, very clear that tho national
Government ucver bound itself to perpetuate
slavery in the District of Columbia. The ani
mut of the Constitution is against the contin
uance of slavery. This is shown in the pro
vision lor the cessation of tho slave trade in
!808 ; in the fact that the words '-sl ivery"
and "slaves" are carefully excluded from llie
instrument, and in the well-known principles
of the leading men of that time. 4 he spirit
of a compromise, of a disposition wisely to
adjust all difficulties, rather than to drive any
thing to extremes, led the I ram era of the Con
stitution to tolerate even the slave trade fur a
limited period to insert the provision in re
Jut ion to the restoration of fugative slaves,
and to consent to the representation of three
3t;hs of the slaves in Congress. But the ex-
pectation was that slavery would gradually be
sboihthud, it time were only given for an ad
justment of difficulties, n.d tor the prevalence
'f a correct public sentiment. The idi-a that
Congress must forever le governed by the ac
tion of Maryland and Virginia, in regard to
slavery, is preposterous. It was altogether
proper, as ia the cate of the allowance of the
!ave trade until 1808, that there should t no
r.iidnc hus;e in the removal of slavery from
the District, bat that lime should be given
'.or its removal in the States around jjt, i;i.case
tbey showed a. di-opositio? l.o ejeij iemiselves
'0 scTorntiJis.h bje,t. Jf sucb. a disposi
tion had tecff tlLowp,U.v dOiUbt Congress would
v pleased to wdi and o-operate with
-MarvUnd arte Virginia, two that emancipation
tn the District should bavjo boon simultaneous
i;h thst in the neighboring States. But it is
enough to know that no such disposition
is been shown, and Congress therefore is not
to wait forever.
U is, too, the clear duty of the General
Government to regird the wish of the vast
fcajorify of the loyal American people. They
hire waited patently. They Have allowed
f'jTe Li, ol which they entirely disapproved,
!o le in force upon the national territory.
Tan- have allowed theruselve to be in a post
"n of complciity with an institution of which
disapproved entirely. They have allowed
one to transpire in sight of the Capitol
bich outraged all their views of American
"bfrty. Now that they feel that tbey have
aited long enough, and that they have a right
to carry their views jntp effect, we can see no
Principle upon which their representatives
Je representatives, of an overwhelming ma-
J-rtty of the loyal peocle can refuse to obey
"eir will. - it will be ohserye.4 t
that there is
B, disposition to emancipate
mese Slaves j
aont compensation
to their masters. In
the Uw
frm all wild
passed by the Seqate differs
abolition projects. It is truly
"nrkabte that not a single Senator fpitn tto
ofth objects to paying compensation for
eie n,.groe8. xbe State of .Maine has pass
' trioleins exp-siing the entire wiUing-
people cheerfully to bear their por
burden of tx;in to pay ho price
of the slaves to their matters, Miuut
conceive of anything better calculated! to put
to the blush a pro slavery spirit. So fiir from
there being any disposition to steal negroes,
to rob their masters, the North offlers to pay
out 'of' the earnings-of1 the country, from the
Rational Treasury, their full-share if th'u bur
den. And ibis is at a tim when tliat Treas
ury is depleted, by an enormously expensive
war, cansed entirely - by the overbearing arro
gance of' idHVt;r It might have been eupr
posed that the Worth, spending hundreds of
niiHioo hv such a war, sacrificing tli ery
flower of its sons, and enduring all manner of
suffering and privations in this abominable
civil war, would without much scruple lay the
strong hand on the cause of all these troubles,
and' make short work with slavery.- It ia-a
wonderful proof of its moderation and a
wonderful evidence on which side the right is,
that, while there is nothing but insolence in
the South, the Nor Mi.- wet-h midst of such ex
treme provocation, pursues so calm course.
The offer of compensation for the slaves, under
such circumstances and in the heart of such
a war, is truly wonderful. We nope that
there will be no delay by the Iloue Ui passing
tho bill. The country expects it- No tax
will be so cheerfully paid, its- thwt which buys
the 3.000 negroes of the District, and- pro
claims that the Nairanaf Government is no
longer responsible for slavery. It is needvt,
too, to put us right with fnntfign noiitn. We
tell them that the Slttes have the eutrol of
slavery, and tbey ask why slaves clink their
chains under the walls of the Capitol. The
measure is wine, moderate, right, audi we bape
Congress will no longer hesitate-.
GEN2RAL FSiMOHr'3 HE AB-TMX7TT.
It will be seen by reference-to- any map-of
the United states that the Dvpartaivnt recent
ly assigned to General Frevont is a very im
portant part of the territory to be repossessed
by the Federal forces. It includes all the re
gion between the meridian Iie drawn thpor.gh
Knoxville, Tennessee, and tbtf Woes bounding
the operations of tho Army ol tlve Potomac.
It may, in general terms, bo a-aiif to be a
Held of .operations two hundred utiles wide
and four hundred miles long. It expend from
the northern part of Virginia to the southern
line of Tennessee and North Ctro-Jina, and
abuts on the northern part of Alabama mid
Georgia, and on tho western extremity of
South Camlina. This is the Switzerland of
the Southern States, and the people ot thai
mountain region have, apparently, all the- love
of the Swiss for freedom and their, si.isit of
resistance to oppression. Western Virginia
promptly and boldly refused to accept of the
destiny prepared for it by tho Wises, the Tj--lers,
the Letchers and the Floyds at Rich
mond ; and the people were enabled, from
their contiguity to Onio and Pennsylvania, to
make good their resistance to the Secession
oligarchy. An advinco will no doubt soon
rally all the loyal elements in Eastern Tennes
see and Western North Carolina. The loyal
men of those regions, backed by tho Federal
forces and equipped with the Federal arms,
will be able to laugh at the vain efforts of the
despots of the lowlands.
The railroad from Richmond to Kno.wille
lies partly within the Department of the Moun
tains. Already the forces of Generals G-r-field,
Thomas and Sclioepff are on their way
toward that important line of commnnic ition.
General Garfield recently routed a large Rebel
force at Pond Gap, on the border between
Letcher county, Kentucky, and Wise county,
Tennessee. This point is about fifty miles
from Piketon, tho scene of his former victory
over the ponderous Humphrey Marshall, and
is not more than fifty miles from Abington,
in Washington county, Virginia, a station on
the railroad ono hundred and twenty miles
east of Knoxvjlle. It would bo gratifying to
bear of an onward moremeni of the forces in
the Department of General Fremont. The
occupation of Nashville and. the deportment
of General Buell have already had a powerful
effect on the young men of Tennessee, making
the war, on the part of the retiel. distasteful
to them. Tho occupation of Knoxville, the
rising ol the mountain men, the fiery words of
Browi low, and the proclamation of Andrew
Johnson, will be likely to complete what Kuell
has so well begun.

(From Official Hospital Rntorts )
May 19, 18CV. Ellen 8.. set. 2S,- single, never
was very strong. Two yonrs ago she had an at
tack of acute rheumatism, from which sh was con
fined to her bed for two weeks. And subsequently
from a relapso for four more. She has been well
sinoo then till last Saturday; while engaged in
bouse cleaning, she took cold, bad pain ia ber back,
felt cold, but had no decided chill. Two days
later heronkles began toswe-11 whioto was follow
ed by swelling of the knee joints snd offcbe Lands.
She oas doll pain in hershouldeps. and her knuckles-
are very tender, red and painful - both bunds
ar afiectd. bo the right is the most so. This,
then, is a case of acute rheumatism, or, as it is now
fashionably called, r'aeuuiatio fever. It is a well
Marked typical cafe. We will carefully watch the
cas,and from time to ti-rnecail your attention to
the varioua- symptoms which present themselves.
My chief object in bringing he befare you now is
to call your attention to a remedy which has re
cently bean recommended in the treatnientof rheu
matism. I moan propylamine. Dr.. Awenarios of
St. Petersburg, recommends it in tbn highest terms
having derived great benefit rn its use in 250
cases which oauie under his care. Various com
mendatory tertita-ofljuls respecting it have appear
ed rn our journals, aud I propose giving it another
trial. I must confess 1 am always incredulous as
to tie worth-of new remedies, which are vaunted
aspeci6g ; but this comes to us recommended so
highly, that we are bound to give it a trial.
SAME CASE FOUR DATS LATER !
May 23. 18(50. I wi 1 now exhibit to you the pa
tient for whom 1 preshribed Propylamine, and
who-wns then lnboriag under an attack of acute
rheumatism. She has steadily taken it in doses
of three grafns, every two hours, (intermitting it
at night). The day after you saw her, I found her
much more comfortable, belter than she expected
to be for a week or more, judging from hsr other
Httack. (The patient now walked into tho room.)
The improvement has steadily p-regressed, and
you cannot fail to notice marked change in the
Hppearaacc of her joints, which are now nearly of
their natural size. Thus far ou-r experiment would
have seemed very successful; but gentlemen we
must wait a little while before wo can give a de
cided opinion as to what is to be the resalt.
THREE DAYS LATER r T
May 26, 1860. This is the case of acute rheuma
tism treated with propylamine, the first of those to
which I called your attention at our last clinic.
She is still very comfortable, and is now taking
three gratns thrice daily.
In this caso it has seemed to-be followed by very
satisfactory results. Tbe second case to which
your attention was called at our last lecture, ha
also continued to do well. I will now bring) -fore
you a very characteristic case of acute a
matism, and if tho result b e satisfactory,
as good jurymen, tee shall justly render or rr ......
in favot of propylamine.
lie is a seaman, t. 26. who was admitted a few
days ago. Has hnd occasional rheumatic pains,
but not so as to keep his bed. until eiijht days ago.
The pains begun in his right knee, subsequently
affected the left knse, and later the joints of the
upper extremities. These joints are all swollen,,
tenso and tender. His tongue is furred; his skin
at present, dry, though there has been much sweat
iuj;. His pulse is full and strong, and about 90.
lie has now used propylamine tweuty-four hours.
This gentletneu is what may be called a strictly
typical oase ot acute rheumatism. There was ex
posure to cold and wet. and this exposure is fol
lowed by a feeling of coiuness. severe articnlar
pain, beginning. s it usually does, in the lvwer
joints There is fvcr and the profuse sweatiag,
sogencrallyattendant on acute rheumatism.
I did not bring this patient before you with ths
intention of giving you a lecture or all the points
connected with rheumatism, but to again give a
t'rial to the new remedy we are testing, and to ex
hibit to you this typical coso, as I havo called it,
than which there could not be a fairer opportunity
for testing the medicine in question. We are,
therefore, avoiding the use of all other medicines,
even anodynes, that there may be no misgivings
as to which was the efficient remedy. You shall
see the case in a future clinic.
THE RESULT. A FAVORABLE VERDICT.
Jcse 9. I860. The next of our canvalesccnts is
the case ofjacute rheumatism before you at our clin
ic of May iiGth, which I then called a typical case,
and which it was remarked wasa fair opportunity
for testing the worth of our new remedy. It was
therefore steadily given in three grain doses every
two hours for four days. The patient has got along
very nicely, and is now able to walk about as you
sea. do not hesitate to say that I have never seen
as severe a case of acute rheumatism so soon restor
ed to health as this man has been, aud without be
in prepared to decide positively as to the value o f
the remedy we have icserl, I feel bound to state that
in the cases in. which we have tried the chloride of
Propylamine, the patients have gained tfteir health
much earlier than under tlu treatment ordinarily
pursued. I wish. gentlemen, you would your
selves try it. and report tbe results.

PROSPECTUS OF THE CONTINEN
TAL MONTHLY There are periods
in the world's history marked by extraordinary
and violent crises, sudden as the breaking for la
of a volcano, or the bursting of a storm on the
ocean. These crises wc-p awxy in s moment the
landmarks of generations. They call out fresU
talent, snd give to the oTd new direction. It is
then that new ides"? are born, new theories devel
oped. Such periods demand frtsh exponents, and
new men for expounders.
This Continent has lately been convulsed by
an upheaving so sudden and terrible that the re
lations of al' men and all cl"ses to each other are
violently disturbed, aud people look about for the
elements with which to sway the storm and di
rect the whirlwind. .lust at present, wa do not
know what all this is to brinir, forth ; bat we do
know that great results must ilow from such ex
traordinary commotioi.e.
At a juncture sa soipinn and so important, there
is a special need that the intellectual force of the
country should be active snd efficient It is a
time for groat min is to speak tbeir thoughts bold
ly. and to take position as the advance guard. T
thi end. there is a xuecial want unsuppiicd. It is
that of an I ndeprndont Msgarine. which shall be
open to the first intellects ot' the land, and which
sbnll treat tbe issue presented, and to be presented
to the country, in a lone no way tempered by par-tiranship.-or
influenced by fear, favor or the hope
of reward , which shall seize and grapple with
the momentous subjects th at tho present disturbed
state of affairs hetire to the surface, and which
can not be laid aside or neglected.
To meet this want, the undersigned have com
menced, under the editorial charge of Charles G.
Leland, the publication of a new .Magazine, devot
ed to iiteratnre and National Policy.
In Polities, it will sdvocaie. with all the for
at its command, measures best adapted to preserve
tbe oneness and' integrity of these I'ni'.ed States.
It will never yield to the idea of any disruption
of this Kepublic, peaceably or otherwise; and it
willdiszuss with honesty und impartiality what
must be done to save it. In thi3 department, some
of the most eminent statesmen of th time ill con
tribute regularly to itspages.
In Literature, itwITT be sustained by the best
writers sad ablest: tbiukers of this country.
Among its attraction? will be presented, la an
early number, a' Xew Serial of American Life."
by Richard Kimball. Esq.. the very popular Ruther
of "The Revelations of VVall Street." -St. Leger.'
Ac. A series of papers by Hon Horace Greely,
embodying the distinguished author's ob.-ervatioiiS
on the growth and development of the Great
West. A series of articles by the author of
"Through the Cotton States." containing the re
sult of an extended tout in the seashore Slave
States, just prior to tbe breaking out of the war,
and presenting astartling and truthful picture f
the real condition of that region. No pains wilt
be spared to render tbe. literary attractions uf the
Continental both brilliant and substantial The
lyrical or descriptive talents of the most eminent
literati have been promised to its pages ; and
nothing will be admitted whiah' will not be dis
tinguished by- marked energy, orij? inalitr. and
solid strength. Avoiding every intlucuoe or as
sociation purtaKing of clique or coterie, it will be
open to all contributions of real merit, even from
writers' differing materially in their views ; the
only limitations required being that of devotion
to -the Union, and the only standard of accept nn?
thtof intrinsic excellence
The Editorial Department will etnbrtoe, in ad
dition to vigorous and fear!e comment on the
events of the times, genial gossip with the reader
on alt current topics, and als: devote abundant
space to those racv specimens of American wit and
humor, without which there can be no perfect ex
position of our national. character Among tho
who will contribute regularly to this department
may be mentioned the namccf Charles r. Brw-
Artemus Ward), from whom we sh.itl present ia
the March number, the firstof an entirelv new aud
original series vf -'Sketchesof Western Life "
The Continektel will be liberal and progres
sive, without yielding to chimeras- and hopes be
yond the grasp of the ago ; and it will endeavor
to reflect the feeilngs and interests of the Ameri
can people, End to illustrate both their serious and
humorous peculiarities. In short, no pains will
be spared to make it the Representative Msgaxitie
of the time.
