"Give me a place to rest my lever on," says Archimedes, -'and I will move the world." -'Give me pure and unadulterated drugs," says Medicus, oi tne olden time, "and I will cure disease." In one sense, both of these learned . pundits were the veriest charlatans They knew there was no place to rest their lever on, either to move the world or to cure disease. Mechanism was in a backward state, and the medical profession was but another name forsorcery and all the adjunct of magie filters and charms of the 'evil eve,' Ac. But these latter days have born unto us some thing more than even superstition and its crew ever dreamed of in their maddest philosophy. In these days of practical science, what waB theory of yesterday is fact to-day, and all the old-time notions become as bubbles in the sun, and burst and break with every breath we draw. Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and we will find a resting place for it to move the world Let mine ancient Medicua pant and toil no more for the drugs he so soroly needs, for we have them at our hand, ever leady to serve them at his beck. Refined in the laboratory of Dr. Maggiel, the finest materials known in the Medical profession are obtainable by any one. His Billious, Dys peptic, and Diarrhea Pills stand unrivalled, and his Salve operates with magical effect upon burns, scalds, and all sores and ulcers of the skin. In faot we think Maggiel's Pills and salve are the Jwonder of the century, and we are happy in the thought that many others of our brethren of the craft agree with us. We would earnestly counsel that all families provide themselves with Dr Maggiel's Preparations at once, and keep them ready at hand, so as to use them at the most opportune time and as occasion serves.

Oox, of Ohio. m Washington, Feb. 26.-1116 following important letter was read to-night by. Gov ernor Cox, of Ohio, to the Union represen- lauves m congress irom that State: Washington, Vonday, Feb. 26, 1866 General George i. Wright, Chairman of the Union Central Committee, Columhus, O.: -Mr Dkar Sir. On Saturday last I had tne nonor ot an interview with the J'rcsident, which I regarded as of sufficient interest and importance to make it nrouer that I should reduce to writing my remembrance of his statements while they wereireslun my mem ory, since he seemed to me, in a perfectly free and unDremediated conversation, to ex hibit, with peculiar clear ness, the processes of his own mind in reaching some of his o- pinions and to express them with such man ifest candor and entire freedom from nerson- al feeline, that I could not but think that if he would consent to it good irujrht be done by making Lis statements public. Accor dingly I again waited upon him this morn ing, to make known what I had done, to ask his verification of the truth of my report, and his consent to make the same known to the country. Although, he was perfectly una ware of my purpose to reduce his remarks to writing, and I myself had no such inten tion when I first called ujon him, he most frankly gave his consent, and assented to the accuracy of my report, which ia as follows : He said he had no thoughts which he was not willing to avow; that his policy had sim plyirnfed at the earliest noflsible restoration ot peace on the basis oi lovalfv. JNo Con gressional policy had ever been adopted, and mereiore, wiieu ue enterea UDon me duties f his office, he was obliged to adopt one of ius own. lie nau, in some senses, inherited that of Jlr. Lincoln, with which he thought he agreed, and that it was substantially the one which he had carried out. Congress had no just groundsof comwlairJt that he had done so, for they had not seen fit to declare their views, or adopt any measures embodying what could be called a policy of restoration. He was. satisfied that no lone continuance of military government could be tolerated; that the whole country would properly de mand the restoration of a truly civil govei n mert ; and not to give it to the lately ltebel lious States, would be an admission of the failure of the Administration, and of the party which had carried though the war, to prove themselves equal to the exigency, wno that the work of destruction wa? over, and that of rebuilding had begun. Military Gov ernment alone would not pacify the South. At the end of a long period of such govern ment we should be no nearer, and probably not so near, the end than now, and would have the same work to do. Henc e there is a real necessity of adopting a policy which shall restore the civil Government fully just as soon as the rebellion shall be thoroughly ended, and conditions accented by the South which were to be regarded as absolutely ne cessary to the peace of the country. One central idea had controlled him in the whole matter, and this was that the proper system ot pacification should be one which tended everywhere to stimulate the loyalty of the Deople of tho South themselves, and make it the spring of loyal conduct by proper leg islation rather than to impose upon them laws and conditions by direct external force. Thus in the case of the Freedmen's Bu reau, he was not against the idea of the Bu reau in toto. for he had used it, and was still jisingit. It might continue for a period of ore than a year yet. He had contempla ted that either by proclamation ot his own, or by some action of Congress, as a condi tion of neae. the technical end of the re bellion would be declared at some period, perhaps not very remote, and as he under stood the present law, the Bureau might con tinue a vear from that time. Meanwhile,he could say to the South, "It depends upon yourselves to say whether the Bureau shall be discontinued at an earlier day, for I will put an end to it just as soon as you by proper action for the protection of the freedmen make it necessary. Ihus, said ne,;tne hope of getting rid of the institution stimu lates them to do what is right, whilst they are not discouraeed by the idea that there b no hope of an end to what they regard as a sort of military Government. . If, on the other hand, the Bureau yere to b made a ermanent thing by legislation, which, on its ace appears to be part of the fixed law of the land," all the objections he had urged in his messageappeared in lull torce to it, and instead of encouraging the South to - loyalty you tend to drive them to desperation, and make their hatred to the Government invet erate. ? The same principal of . stimulating loyalty was shown in the manner in which he held martial law over them. ; Whenever they should show so peaceful and law-abiding a condition of their communitythat martial law was not needed, it should be re moved. Their own conduct would tnua ae mr. and the debt and inter est of all the best people be increased to put down the disturbances and outbreaks, to pro tect Union men and obey the laws, because by so doing they would hasten the withdrawl of the direct interference' of the military arm in their affairs. In precisely the same way and under the influence of the same idea, he had acted in regard to civil affairs generally in that sec tion, regarding it as necessary and proper to impose upon the rebellious States conditions which would guarantee the safety of the conptry; and regarding the then existing affairs of the local governments as hnrinr disqualified themselves, by. their treason, for continuance in power, he deposed them, and established Provisional Governments. Then he asked himself what conditions ought to be demanded of them, and how their disposition to accept them in good faith might be stimulated. The conditions, viz : The amendment of State Constitu tions, excluding slavery ; the acceptance of the same amendment to the United States Constitution ; the repudiation of the rebel debt, and the admission of the freedmen to various rights, &c, everybody is familiar with. To stimulate them to accepC these conditions, being such as, in his best judg ment, and in" theabsence of any Congres sional plan, he thought the nearest right of any he could frame,he urged that on their acceptance, with evidence of good faith, he would permit them to reorganize their State Governments, elect Legislatures, &c. , and so far as the Executive acts could do so, would restore them to their position in the Union of States. They had so far accepted his conditions, that he did not regard the experiment as a failure, but a success: Tie had accordingly reorganized the Post Office Department everywhere among them, hadj reopened trade and removed restrictions thereon through the Treasury Department, and in like manner,' in all the Executive Departments, reorganized them as States in the Union, only - keeping enough of a military hold to protect the freedmen, as he had before stated, and induce them to do something more thorough in that direction. Now but one thing remained in which those States did not exercise the full rights of States, and that is representation in Con gress. - In this he had advised that the same principle of stimulating loyalty be applied as in the other respects which he had named He would admit only such representatives as were in tact loyal men, giving satistacto ry evidence ot tms. - w henever a state or District sent a loyal man, ' properly elected and oualified. he would think it right to ad mit him the same as from any other. State, and he would admit none but such loyal men, so that other States or districts might be thus induced to elect and send similar men. When they had all done this, their representation would be full, and the work would be done. Such was his plan. He did not ask to be the judee of elec tions and qualifications of members of Con gress, or or their loyalty. . UoncTess was its own judge, and he had no dream of inter fering with its constitutional rights ;' but he felt like urging upon the country, that this mode of finishing the work so nearly com- fdeted in other respects, was the only feasi )le one which had been presented, and that it was impossible to ignore the fact that the States were exerclsins theii rights and eniov- ing their privileges within the Union ; were, in short, restored in all other respects, and that it is too late to question the fundamen tal right of representation. 1 then remarked to him that I had heard it suggested that legislation could properly be made bv Congress, purely civil in its character, providing for the protection of the treedmen by United States Uourts ot( inte rior jurisdiction, in all cases where therStates did not do so themselves. He replied that such an idea would run exactly parallel to his plan, but he had not thought it yet time to fix his own ideas of the precise mode of accomplishing this end, because we had a margin ot time lasting till . alter . the next session of Congress, during which the Freed men s Lsureau would continue in operation : and if before that time the Southern States should reorganize the necessity of passing a proper svstem oi protection lor the ireed men, nothins further on our part would ne- cessary. it they did do wnac tney . ougnc, there would then be time enough to elabor ate a plan. i ' He then referred briefly, to the fact, that men who have been disloyal were rejoicing over his Aeto message, saying - that it these men in coed iaith adopted the views ot poli cy he had himself held and acted upon, and which he had so Ireely elaborated in his an nual message and explained to me, the coun try surely could have no cause for sorrow in that If disloyal men and rebels everywhere, North and South, should cordially give in their adherence to the-conditions of restora tion he had uniformly insisted upon, he thought that was precisely the kind of paci fication loyal men everywhere should rejoice in. Ihe more they were committed to such a course the better he would ! like it, ! for if thev were not sincere they would at least diminish their power of : dangerous opposi tion in future. : llis whole heart was wuu the body of true men who had carried the country through the war, and he earnestly desired to maintain a cordial and periecr. un derstanding with them. f't ' :';' This sentiment and purpose jie regaraea as entirely consistent with determined , op position to the obstructive policy ot tuose pvtrftmists. who. as he believed, would keep the country in chaos till absolute ruin might come upon us. - . y. ' t,- '; , - Such, my dear sir, is the conversational statement of the President on this impor tant -matter, and if you could meet his straightforward, honest look, and hear the hearty tones of his . voice, as I did, i I am well assured that you would believe, ! with me, that although he may not receive per sonal attacks with the . equanimity, and for bearance Mr. Lincoln used to show, there is no need to fear that Andrew Johnson is not hearty and sincere in his adhesion to the principles upon which he was elected. Very truly, yours, J- D. Cox. : DEM0CEACY AT IT IS." r -! The little State of Delawrre bas for sev eral years past been governed by a Demo cratic Legislature. They hold the power still During all the trying years of the war against the rebellion, and even when their own State was threatened with inva sion, this Democratic bodv refused to give a dollar or a man to defend the flag and tho country ; rcl used, even, to pay their State's quota, of a few hundred dollars, to encloso the graves of her sleeping sons who fought and fell atGettysburg; refused to pass a vote of thanks to her battle worn veterans who survived the terrible conflicts of the war I Thousands of noble Delawareaus, howev er, offered themselves to the Government and bore a noble and heroic part in the struggle tor national life and freedom. , The General Government paid some of the war debts of Delaware, which her Dem ocratic Legislature would not pay; and now asks that this money be reimbursed as it has been in the case of other States.. Delaware Democrats have refused thus far, but as the powers that be" propose to take im mediate measures to collect what is due them, "noens, volenx," what do these Dem ocrats propose todol They have actually voted to take - just so much of the school money away from the school commissioners as will pay this war debt of the State! Friends ot the children of popular educa tion, think of it. Making the children pay the debts ot the State and that at the ex peuse of the school fund I This is Demoo racy. - Quite In keening with this, is the recent enactment of this same body disqualifying ministers of the gospel from holdiug any office. The only officeheld by ministers iu the State, so far as we are able to learn, was that laborious, responsible, but unpaid posi tion of the members of the Board of Pub lic Education. But good authority had said that "the loyal ministers of tho gospel had saved Delaware to the Union." ,Thia Democratic Legislature believed it and re warded them accordingly. This pure body of politicians are now at work on a 1A11 to legalize lotteries in the State. . ., . . ;-, ..

Professor Wa terhouse, of St. Louis, in a series of arti cles demonstrating the advantages of Mis souri as a home for emigrants, considers in cidentally its adaptability for grape culture. He states that in Southern, Missouri there are fifteeu millions of acres of laud, eleva ted lrom 1,000 to 1,500 foot above, the sea, and with a dry and light soil, abounding in lime, soda, potash, magnesia and phospho ric acid, the chief elements entering into the structure of the grape vine. The com position of the soil is very much like that of the vine lands of Germany and France, the surface" being in many places terraced, as if nature had intended it for the vine dresser. On these broad acres a population ot two millions can raise a thousand millions of gallons of wine, and the Professor feels confident that Missouri is destined to be 'the vineyard of America." Three hun dred and fifty dollars an acre will prcparo land for grape culture in Missouri, and one hundred dollars an acre spent annually will cultivate it. Two hundred and fifty gallons of wine can bo produced from an acre,' which at two dollars a gallon will yield five hundred dollars. . . - . i The Ohio State Flags. No less than two hundred and sixteen State flags were presented to Ohio volunteers previous. to their marchirg to the front. Of this num ber all will be returned except four lo&t in battle.
