HOG CHOLERA CURE AND
PREVENTIVE.
’i jltUMPTED by a desire to benefit our coun-
1 try, and also to establish an important
cu t iii science, we have concluded to oiler to
ti;e jibiic the ala.vc named remedies tor the
<hl prevention of Hog Cholera. Medical
„ .. 'Linen of skill and experience Vgan a s«-
. . . o? exaniiuUticns when ini' cholera iirst
! c ii in tiiis country; after having performed
an.: r.ois post mortem examinations upon the
• i lies of hogs which had died of cholera,
■imt after great, research and investigation to
determine the nature of the disease, led by
die lights arising therefrom, they undertook
the , ure of the complaint by various remedies.
Hr a found several articles betiefi dal, but
uic'ess was not fully attained to until the,
above named medicine was compounded. The
i: l.eine was not sought out tor the purpose
of sale, but the great success attending its
use has induced t hem to form a company and
obtain a Patent. AYe oiler it as being, under
the accompanying directions, fully capable ot
arresting any epidemic of hog cholera, and
prompt in giving relief when properly ft d mill-
i.-'.crcd. \\'e confidently believe that the rem
edy is a specific : yet we do not recommend it
intalliide in all cases, though wc have :v ver
known it to fail, either as a cure or preventive
against the further spread of the disease when
1 agreeably to ! the directions, natwith-
-latnliug those free froth the disease have been
' close proximity with those diseased.
It is a great Tonic, and will successfully
. >vc Mange, Sore Ilead and Vermin, either
w hich will all :t the health of the hog, and
Mop his growth and development. Nothing
wilt make hogs so thrifty as this remedy. A v c
oiler no patent remedy ior the cure of man.
b..t »ve think that the pnt.i'.e will esteem us as
’. 'ncfactors when they consider that we have,
for years, been investigating the diseases of
domestic animals, which form not only a part
of toe wealth of the country, hat afford sus
tenance to man. Allow us to add that hog
ch.-lera is but a mild disease when taken in
its early stages-vritn this remedy, which will
also remove worms from the bowels, and if
administered once a month by the directions,
wiii forever prevent any injuries from the Trt-
e .<piral<s, which produce such alarming
symptoms in persons who eat trichinous pork.
iktousaudS of applications have been made to
ti.e Patent Office Department of the United
States, in behalf of remedies to cure Hog
' I'.elera. but we. alone, have been able to pre-
suit tiie unquestionable testimony necessary
t" procure the I'n.nt now in our possession
s curing to us the right to compound and sell
ibis invaluable remedy.
Dr. 11. Marshall is having these remedies
p’- wared under his own supervision.

TIIE .IRONING BUSINESS — TIIE TREE RELATION Or
FACTS —STATEMENT OF EVENTS CONNECTED WITH
THE FETTERING OF JEFfERSON DAVIS W IIEX A TK!S-
ONER AT FORTRESS MONROE, AS DEEIVEb FROM
AND VERIFIED BV TIIE PRISONER AND OFFICER OF
THE DAY.
When Jeff. Davis was brought a captive to
Fortress Monroe, he was confined in the gr.n-
joom of a casemate, the embrasure of which
was closed with a heavy grating, and the doors
with h communicated with the gunner's room
were closed with heavy double-shutter- fastened
with cross-bars and puuiucks. hue side open
ings had been closed up with fresh masonry,
the plastering of which was soft to the touch,
tne top being an arch to.support the earth of
the parapet. Two sentinels with muskets load
ed ami 1 yonets fixed, paced to and fro across
the prison. Two other sentinels and a com
missioned officer occupied the gunner's room,
tL • doors and windows of which wire tdrongly
sec: : 1 Th; nicer of the d-y* l ! *lie key
of tiie outer d< or. and sentinels were posted at
the outer navoincnt in front of it. iliere vrere
also two sentinels on the parapet overhead.—
The embrasure looked out on the wet ditch,
say sixty feet wide, the water in which v/as
probably from seven to ten feet deep, the scarp
and counterscarp revetted with dressed mason
ry. Beyond the ditch, on the glacis, was a
double chain of sentinels, and in the casemate
rooms, on each side of his prison, was quarter
ed that part of the guard which was not on
post.
Borne down by privation, over exertion and
exposure, he was in no condition when thrown
into prison to resist exL;t:ng causes of disease.
The damp walls, the food too coarse and bad to
be eated, the deprivation of sleep caused by
the tramping of* sentries around Hie iron cot.
the light of the lamp which shone full upon it,
the loud calling of the roll when another relief
"vss turned out, the noise oi unlocking Hie
doors, the tramp of the sentinels who came to
relieve those on post, produced fever, and rap
idly waste . .is strength. AYitbout mechanical
aid. though his efforts were not interrupted, no
one could have removed the grating from the
embrasure, if that had been done, and any one
could have swam across the ditch and climbed
up the revetment on t;.e opposite side, wine a
was doubtful, he then would have encountered
the sentinels on the glacis. 1 he circumstances,
together with many manifestations indicating
feeling toward him, led him to the conclusion
that it w.is not the belief that these things
were necessarv to prevent his escape, but a pur
pose to offer an indignity, to indict physical
pain, and perhaps to deprive him of life.
On the fidd of May. 3805, the officer of the
day. Gapt. J. Titlow, of the Third Pennsylvania
Artiilerv. came to his prison with two black
smiths.'bearing a pair of heavy leg-iror.s,
coupled together by a pondrous chain. Gapt.
lit low. in a manner fully sustaining his words,
informed him that, with "great personal reluc
tance. he came to execute an order to put irons
upon him. Mr. Davis asked whether General
Dry >:pes bad given that cider, and on King an
swered in ihc affirmative, said lie wished to see
Gen. Miles.' Capt, Titlow replied that he had

Davis told him that it was too obvious that
there could be no necessity for the use oi such
means to render iiis imprisonment secure, ami,
on Capt. Tiilow's repealing that Ins duty was
to execute his ciders. Mr. Davis said it was not
such an order as a sM lier o* uid give, or should
receive, and he w- u! 1 not submit to it; that it
was evidently the intention to torture him to
death : that Le would never*tamely be subjected
to indignities by which it was .sought in hi.-
oerson to degrade the cause of w±iich he was
the representative. The officer of the day,
with evident kind feeling, endeavored to dis-

Treason and Confiscation.
There are very gonfaeed ideas abroad con
cerning treason and e-niiiscation. Many sup-
р. se that a pi 1 ciamuli u dccluring certain cit
izens in certain Mates rebels and traitors nnil.c
them so. And an act of Congress pr< EOimcL g
that tlic prop rty of the.-c citizens snail hew u-
: omplishes the < a.a jeation. I. se
arc great errors.
Tr ■ as in t > fee effical io is against any citizen,
must be brought home to him by a trial and
conviction must be by a jury, sitting in the
State and di trict where the treii b wa ■ < m-
mitted. The Constitution of the Unitt-d States
Bays,- in 3d Article, 2d S Ion; ‘‘Treason
.••.gainst the United States shall consist only 11
levvmg war agaim t them, or in adhering to
the enemies—giving them aid ard coinfert.”
In the 3d Article, fid Section—“ The trial of
aH crimesyexbept in coses iff impeachment,
shall be by jury ; and such trial shall be held
in the State where the said crimes shall be
committed.”
J lie States were not satisfied with this cbiause
in the Constitution, and proposed the following
amendment, Article 6, which was adi pted:
“ In all criminal pro wutions, the accured shall
enjoy the right to a speedy and public tri :i, I»y
an impartial jury 61 U e • o and distn t
wherein the crimes s!ial! have lnicr: fomraitte l,
which district shall have been previouslyf-
tained by 1 iw, and to he informed of ihc nature
and cause of the accusation ; to be confronted
with the witnesses ag inst him; to have t - ••*;-.-
p J >rv povress for ...ahiing i' .ic s.i in 1:m
favor, and r.* have the assistance of counsel for
his defence..’
The 5th amended Article prescribes : “That
no person shall be held fo mo wer for a capit ii,
or otherwies infamous crime, unless on a pre
sentment or indictment ef a grand jury.”
The course of proceedings then, in treason,
appear to be this : 1. The indictment lor trea
son must be laid before a grand jury. 2. If a
true l-ill is found by the grand jury, he must
be speedily and publicly tried by an impartial
petit jury, in the State and district where the
(reason is alleged to 1: ve been committed. 3.
He shall be informed ef the nature and cause
of the accusation. 4. Be confronted with the
witnesses against him. 5. Have compulsory
process t) obtain witnesses in ids fhvpp. 6.
Have the assistance cf counsel, challenging
those who are to compose the jury—tv nty-
one preremtorily, and as many more as he can
show cause, from any expressions or acts, are
• imp I. And finally, when the trial
comes i n. the whole petit jury (twelve in num
ber) must agree as to the criminality of the ar-
cuse-d, cr he must be acquitted. If one men
•n the petit jury thinks u o accused not guilty,
he is entitled to a verdict to that effect.
These arc the forms by which all persons ac
cused of treason, by the United States, are to
be tried. If fairly carried out. it requires no
ghost to help us to predict that no citizen ol
the Southern Sfat ;, in acci nt of the . te
war will ever be convicted of treason against
the United States.
And threats of confiscation are -as terrorless
as threats of treason. As a punishment lor
trc-iMia, the Constitution expressbf prohibits it.^
It savs (article 2, .s- i tu>n 3) : "No attainder of
treason shall work corruption of Mood or for-
feiiuie, exeq-t during the life of the per:on at-
tai, ' pi i from tizi clause i

of treason, his property could Iv taken by the
Government only during Lis lifetime. Alter
