A few weeks ago a gentleman in Peters
burg, employed for the purpose by the mili
tary authorities, canvassed the city to ascer
tain the number of houses struck by federal
shells during the recent siege. His investi
gations developed the fact that there were
over eight hundred houses struck by whole
shells, besides large numbers which received
rude touches froui fragments of the name.
The gas house in the eastern ortioii of ths
city is the building which received visits from
the largest uumber of these ponderous mis
Biles, sixty-five which struck the establish
ment. . .''.,,, , '

has turned out in some respects as unfortu

-BLIGHTED POLITICAL PE0SPECTS.
From the timehe entered the State Senate,
William. A. Wallace was regarded by many
of his party as a rising man. His rabid and
defiant coarse, on alK measures in which
partisan views were involved, seemed to
point him out as the leader of a desperate
cause,, and drew around him a class of trick
sters, who, like Macawber, were '.'waiting
for something to turn up," andwho.in order
to gain favor in his eyes, set about flatter
ing him in a manner well calculated to have
its desired effect upon an otherwise unsus
ceptible and selfish nature. The effect was
to excite Wallace's ambition, and, impress
ed with his own importance, bright visions,
in th: shape of ample Gubernatorial chairs
or cozy seats in the Hallof the United States
Senate, doubtless, flitted athwart his men
tal horizon. Such feelings once aroused,
it was only following frail human instinct to
attempt their realization. The chairman
ship of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee was evidently considered a good lever
to be used in huch en enterprise. Having
secured that, it is but reasonable to suppose
that Wallace cast about to ascertain where
and bow he could make a "strike" which
would confirm the high-wrou :ht expecta
tions of his needy admirers. That the defeat
of Harry White for Senator in the Indiana
district, and Morton McMichacl as Mayor
of Philadelphia, were embraced in his calcu
lations, can searely be do tted. The elec
tion of Davis and Linton hai probably; as
sumed in his mind the form of a fixed fact,
and his bright anticipations coull, in the
course of time, be.graliSed, if he willed it
Bat, nhis! how true, that
"The boat laid plans of mice and mtn,
limg aft tglny."
The re.-ult of the election on the Second
Tuesday of October, perversely iruidl have
it that White and M'Michael were elected,
and that the State was carried with a large
ly inerrnsed Republican lr. njority. Nor is
this the most unpa'itahlc feature for Wal
lace. He is' charged by his party with hav
rug made a tame and spiritless light that
he tailed to awaken the emhnsiai-m of the
rank and file by holding too few mass meet
ings that the defeat of Judge Woodward's
.-on iu Luzerne could have been averted
that ho should have managed hisown house
hold and choked Dr. Boyer off the track in
his own. county, and thus enabled ; Kenedy
Blood to colonise fYcm CJoarfivK nuJ Elk
counties enough vaters to' have overcome
White's majority in Indiana- 111 short all
the casualties,: real and : immagiued, which
hve befallen' his party, are heaped upon
his devoted head. A? a matter of course,
Hiester Clymer, and other aspirants for Gu
bernatorial honois, who had grown envious
of Wallace, are rather pleased at the dL
eomfitnre of the Chairman of their State
Committee, as jt gives them a cudgel which
will enable them to beat, l ack a competitor
who was in a fair way of distancing them in
"the wild chase for oiScc. 1 ' All of which must
necessarily be mortifying to 'Wallace, who
has thus become an object of pity and commis
eration. W have no doubt that his late ar
dent admirers at lca.'-t will condole with him.
At the same time, they must feel that their
chan:pion is "laid on the shelf.' ' for the
present or, '.o use a legislative metaphor,
that the particular "Bill" in question is
most effectually "tabled." i

A British paper, speaking of the iron
trade of Birmingham, remarks that "the A-
met ican orders are noteworthy from the fact
that they show a disposition to purchase
largely -of British ' manufactured tools, im
pleiuents and j-iachinery, and but very spar
ingly of general merchandise. The prevail
ing desire in that country to restore order
and prosperity in the South, is, however,
gradually influencing our export trade, and
there is a general fee'Lu'r that it wLil soon
tell upon the hardare trades of this local
ity,, which for so many years regarded the
United States as their principal customer. "
Theorize as you will, one fact stands, rhat
cannot be disputed when we have had pro
tection our manufactures have thrived test
and the countrywas profcperous. British
manufacturers complain of dull times and
poor business when we cease to buy of them
and manufacture at home. They are now
looking for a revival through the resump
tion of the trade which the war has measu
rnbiy broken tiff. - -Now, to the common
mind, it would seem that which is good for
the British manufacturer must be equally
good for our own. If we buy ..abroad, we
will not manufacture at home, and we can
not do this without protection, unless all
the conditions of labor ' and capital are
brought down to the level of competing nations.-
Free trade means that we must work
as cheaply and live as poorly as they do in
England, or Luy xifher,. .This has been the
result of experience, and will continue t&be,
theorize as you will.
The Virginia Military Institute was
about being revived, when an order was re
ceived from head-quarters, Department of
Virginia, "abolishing the military feature of
the institute. I his order, of course, puts an

South manufactured officers to lead its igno
rant hordes intojebellicn.
The hugest joke we h3ve seen lately was
perpetrated by the New.Yprk Express in ac
counting for the late Democratic defeat in
Newark. New Jersey. It is said that sev
eral hundred of their voters were absent in
New York attending a temperance convention.
More European Filibustering.
' 'The apparent success of the French filli
bustering movement in Mexico, together
probably with some direct influence of the
Euiperor Napoleon on Queen Isabella,
seems to have started in Spain measures of
an aggressive character against the govern
ment of Peru and Chili.' These Republics,
occupying a large proportion of the Pacific
coast of South America, were formerly col
onies dependent on the Spanish Government,
but for over forty years have been iti depen
dent States. The present difficulty with
Peru arises from the presentation 'of an ab
surd claim of eighty millions of dollars by
Spain for expenses and losses incurred dur
ing the war of independence, forty years
ago. Peru, of course, refuses the unreason
able demand. For the sake of peace she
had agreed to pay an equally unjust demand
of three millions, made for the expense of
an expedition sent out hy Spaiu in . 1SG3,
under some ambiguous preietice. ; But the
new head of the Spanish ministry, Marshal
O'donnell, disregards this arrangement,
and picks a quarrel on the round sura of
eighty millions. The difficulty with Chili
grew out of the neutrality laws of that coun
try refu.-ing coal, as contraband of war, to
Spanish vessels. ' These hostilu demonstra
tions give ground for suspicion of detenuin-
Spain, and apparency those oftta same
sort which have been exhibited in Mexico.
The subserviency of Spain to Louis Napo
leon, and the character of O'Donnei.l,
render the suspicion almost a ' conviction.
The Monroe doctrine, therefore, xiiuy per
haps yet have something to do, besides be
ing talked about. Our Pacific possessions
would be not quite as secure as they are,
should European Empires line al! the red
of the coast.

.We learn, tays the Chambersburg IZryos

was too .treacherous .or too. cowardly to' de
fend. Wc trast that this issue will be press
ed to a legnl aolation at "an early day. The
act of Congress declares in express terms
that a deserter shall he dian-ehi.sedi but
in perhaps half the election districts of the
State, the election boards aseumcd to deter
mine the law unconstitutional and acted ac-'
cor Jlngly. Before another election we hope
to have the. question settled judicially, and
then the law can be enforced uniformly, r,
ifpionour.ced unconstitutional, will le a nul
lify." "While the act of CovgrchK remains a
statute unquestioned judicially, it mu.it be
obeyed. If election ofHccrs are to determine
the constitutionality of acts of Congress,
they may assume to determine any other
question according to their fancies, and the
result must be that the right to vote would
be at the mercy of irresponsible town.diip
tribunals. Let the question be settled,
since the Democracy openly espouse the
cause of deserters even to lawlessness..

in Texas have again raised a cotton crop of

Mississippi is discussing once more the
question of repudiation. ; It played the game
once and found, nothing was to be made by
repudiatng honest debts. If repudiation is
to be the card, let them first repudiate JeffT
Davis and the debt contracted in support of
his rebellion. Then, u they want to go far
ther, let them repudiate laziness and intoler

Columbia, S. C:. October 20. Gov. Per
ry's message was read before' the Legislat ure
to-day. He says that though his appointment-
was made several months alter the
other Provisional Governors, South Caroli
na now is as far adv anced in reconstruction
as any other State. By restoring those who
were in civil office at the suppression of the
civil Government, he greatly expedited re-coiii-truetiou.
This measure was c' jected
to by the military authorities, but he was
sustained by President Johnson, to whom
will be assigned in history the glory of hav
ing rccon.-r meted the broken, dismantled
fragments of the RcDublic, without marring
its civil beauties. lie alludes to xht .new
constitution as popular and "democratic, in
spiring, the people .with new zeal .an. "energy
in developing the latent resources of the
State.
lie recommends the fostering of internal
improvements, commerce and manufactures,
the encouragement of foreign emigration,
and also that they shall not be dejeudent
as heretofore on the Western States for hor
ses, mules, cattle, hogs, bacon, lard and
beef, nor on the Northern States for furni
ture, agricultural implements, and clothes,
but bhould raise, grow, and make everything
for themselves. Now that slavery is abol
ished, labor is made more honorable, more
necessary. Young men m us" become trades
men, manufacturers, mechanics. Northern
friends -are invited to come. 'Immediate
provision must be made for the protection
by the Government of freemen. This is
exacted by the- President and Congress,
and will remove all pretext for military rule.

The Position of Kentucky. ; ,
The present condition of Kentucky h a
very pecuiiar.one, and presents many diffi
culties and voiite curious inconsistencies and
perplexities. Notwithstanding that strong
tiae ot pubac lceling vi Inch has virtually a-bolishr-d
slavery within the limits of the U
nited States, Kentnekv is really still a slave
State! Tiio institution has never been abol
ished, and is still-the la v of the land, and
one portion ot the inhalitants ma'main it
with that tenacity which is given alo::e to
ancient custom, fortiiiad by' ail the added
force tn predjudice ; v hiie the other portion

and the eiremustanees of the

themselves under the nev banner, and ac-

The recent proclamation of the President,
removing the restraint of martial law. is ad

&tate, ior although reeogmzmjt the fact
that war no -longer exists, aud that Ken-

Kentucky seems fitted to be always the
chosen cround of conflict : and the warfare
between ancient predjudice and the spirit of
progress ana treedom will hnd fitting place,
and we hope final adjustment, within her
borders. The I attle is already commenced
by a Kentucky court declaring the laws of
Congress freeing negro soldiers and their
families unconstitutional, and all the argu
ments oa either side will have a thorough
consideration and diseu-sion in that brief
period which must intervene before the
"Constitutional Amendment" takes its sta
tion among the laws of the Union. Four
States alone are required to insurc its adop
tion, and three of these, loa, California,
and Oregon, only await the convening of
their legislature to give it their warmest
sanction. ' 'J herefore but a few months can
possibly elapse before slavery must be abol
ished in Kentucky, and she must choose
whether she wiil act wisely and discreetly
by gracefully and graciously- submitting to
necessity, or whether she will allow, a mere
faction of her people to carry their petty
warfare for a dead and gone 'institution"
to the bitter end. and overwhelm the State
with obloquy and disgrace, where it might
win glory and honor. Press. : - .

THE KIDNEYS,
" . The kidneys are two in number, sit
uated at the upper part of the loin,
surrounded by fat, and consisting of
three parts, viz: the anterior, tho in
terior, and the exterior.
'.'
The anterior absorbs; the interior consist- cf
tissues or reins, which serve as a deposit for the
nrine. and convey it to the exterior ; the exterior
is a conductor also, terminating in a single tube
and called the ureter; the ureters arc eon aee ted
with the bladder.
The bladder is .compbseiV of . various
coverings or tissues, divided into parts, vis : the
upper, the lower, the nervous, and the macons.
The upper expels, the lower retains. Many bar
a desire to urinate without the ability, otheti n
rinate without the ability ' to retain. This fr.
quently occurs in children. - '

II. T. IlELrB0Li, Druggist: ;
hear Sir : I have been a suffer
er, .for u upwards of twenty years, Avith
gr.ivel, bladder, and kidney affections,
during which .'iine I have used various medicinal
preparations, and been under the treatment of
phi .5mincut Physicians, experiencing bH
Having seen your preparations ex
tensively advertised, 1 consulted with my family'
physician in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
Idil tali biciu .1 uiaJ all kinds
of advertised remedies, and had found
them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact.
I despaired of ever getting well, and determin
ed to nse no remedies unlets I knew of the Ingre
dients. It was this that prompted me to use your
remedy As you advertised that it was compos-'
ed of bocbl', cl'pebs, and ji'-iper bkrkiks, it oc
curred to me and my physician as an excellent
combination, and, with his ad vice, after an exam
ination of the article, and consulting again with
tho druggist. I conculuded to try it. I commen
ced its use about eight months ago, at which time
I was confined to my room. From the first bot
tle I -was astonished and gratified at the benefi
cial effect, and arter usincr it three week ... .
b,e to walk out I felt much like writing you a
full statement of my case at the time, bat thought
my improvement might only be temporary and
therefore concluded to defer and see if it would
effect a crfectcnre, knowing then it would be of
greater vulue to you und more satisfactory to a
; ' ; ' ' -t . - ' .
1 am now able to report that a cure
is effected after using the remedy for
five months. - : . : . . , '. -. .. r
I have not used any now for threii
months, and feel as well in all xespects
as I ever did. ; -
Your Bacbu being devoid of any anpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the
system. I do not mean to bo without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affeotions
