Hill, in his speach at La- Grange, Ha , referring to the “ libels” of certain parties who are laboring to make tlie impression, nt home and abroad, that our cause has failed; uses the following pointed remarks : The President has not failed. The gov ernment has not failed. The army-has not failed. Nobody has failed but a few ambi tious avaricious and timid men. These men are not (he country. If we had leaned on them we should have failed long ago. But w.e do not, and nev>r did, lean upon them. We know full well we must, win this revo lution, not only without such men’s help, but in spite oT their follies and practical oopc.-ition. Precisely such men existed iw the first revolution. They used precisely the same language —in many cases employed the same identical lang lage : They said Washing ton “had failed,” and that “ unless he was gotten rid ot, our cause was ruined !” and they proved Washington had failed “by ; i >ve that Mr. Davis has failed by r< alts 1 \Ye have had disasters, they say.

Conventions to get rid of Washington ? No, no ! they held on. followed on, suffered oil, and under God and under Washington, gave redemption to a continent and freedom to their children.! Ah! but the conspira tors did fail! Some of them lost their char acters and commands, some went to Europe, and some joined the British ! Ho, my countrymen, 1 exhort you, hold on, follow, on, suffer on ; and over our enemy and in spite of the critics, and uuder God,, and under Davis and Bee, we shall yet win our independence. Dream no longer of re construction ! that day Inis passed. We have crossed over, and the waves of' the lied Sea of blood have gone together behind u>; and though we are suffering, and for a time must suffer in the wilderness. Canaan is-ahead and we shall reach it at last. Disaffection may delay us. Ambition, avarice and timidity will prolong the war, multiply disasters,and increase the number that, must fall in the strife. This much they have done in former struggles, and, this much they are doing and wiil. do in this. Nevertheless, cleave to your organized gov ernment, and endurance will win the victory, and the patriotic will enjoy the fruits. As in Washington’s day, so iu our day.—the critics and conspirators will fail. And as men have gone, no men do go and wiil ever go I show you treason’s way-bill! It is taken from the records of the thousands of Catiline.? and Arnolds iu history. Look at it, read it, and take warning: First, zeal; then, disappointment; then, dissatisfaction ; then, complaining; then, criticising; then, scheming to change leaders; then, prophe sying failure; then, wishing failure; then, treason! Shades of Gates and of Conway and of Arnold, behold your followers ! Some have lost character: some have gone to Europe, and some will join the enemy ! And may God in his mercy hurry them on before they gather too many comrades, should be the prayer of every honest and true patriot in the land ! Capture of Major Harry Giimour. Major Harry Giimour was captured in Hardy county, Virginia, some time siuee by Major Young, of Sheridan's command, who with twenty-five picked men, repaired to a farm-house where Gihnour staid all night.. A Yankee aoeount says : A search of the promises was commenced when, reaching a room on the second floor, the door gently opened, when Major Giimour and his cousin, a rebel officer, was found ly ing in bed awake. Major Young in an in stant was at the bedside, seized Giimour’s pistols, which were on a chair, and then asked Giimour who he was. He replied, “ Major Giimour,” and then add and to lus confrontcr, “ Who the devil are you?” The Major replied, “ Major Young, of General "Sheridan’s scouts.” The prisoners were ordered to dress, and in a few' minutes were attired in full suits of grey. They were then taken in charge by the guard outside and marched to Win chester. A splendid black horse, belong ing to Giluiour, which he stole on one of his raids into Pennsylvania, was’also captured. Major Giimour on his march to Winchester begged that he might have some sort of a show given him in race for his life,as he was shamefully negligent by sleeping in a house, undressed. lie said any officer that slept in a house ought to be captured and shot. Giimour always carried with him a thick English robe, made in baggy style, so that he could get into it and thus lie down in the woods and sleep, lie was always at tended by a favorite bloodhound, who gave timely notice of the approach of stranger.'.

Fortune mocked him all the while with golden promises that were des tined never to know fulfilment.” “ Yet he was patient and enduring,” re marked one of the company. “Patient as a Christian —enduring as a martyr,” was answered. “ Poor man ! he was worthy of better fate. He ought to have succeeded, for he deserved success.” “ Did he uot succeed?” questioned the one who had spoken of his perseverance and endurance. “ No sir, he died poor, as I had just said.' Nothing that lie put his hand to ever suc ceeded. A strange fatality seemed to attend evevy enterprise. w “ I was with him in his last moments,” said the other, “ and thought he died rich.” “No; he has left nothing behind’,” was replied. “ The heirs will have no concern as to the administration of the estate. “ He left a good name,” said one, “ and that is something.” “ And a legacy of noble deeds that were done iu the name of humanity,” remarked another. “ And precious examples,” said anpther. “ Lessons of patience in suffering; of hope in adversity; of heavenly confidence when no sunbeams fell upon his bewildering path;” was the testimony of. another. “ And high trust, manly courage, heroic fortitude.” “Then he died rich” was the emphatic declaration ; “ richer than the millionaire who went to his long home the same day, a miserable pauper in all but gold. A sad funeral, did you say? No, my friend, it was rather a triumphal pi-ocession ! Not the burial of a human clod, but the ceremonial attendant on the translation of an angel. Did not succeed ! Why, life was a series of success. In every conflict he came off the victor, and now the victor'* crown is on his brow. Any grasping, soul less, selfish man, with a share of brains, may gather in money and learn the art of keep ing it, but uot one in a hundred can brave ly conquer iu the battle of life as Edmond son lias couquored, and step forth from the ranks of men a Christian hero. No, no; he did not die poor, but rich, rich in neighbor ly love, and rich in celestial affections. And his heirs have an iuterest in the administra tion of the estate. A large property has been left, and let them sec to it that they do not loose the precious things through false estimates and ignorant dem-eeiations.” “ You have anew way of estimating the wealth of a man,” said the one who had at first expressed sympathy for the deceased. “It is not the right way? There are higher tilings to gain in this world than the wealth that perishes—riches of price less \ alue that ever reward the true mer chant who trades for wisdom, buying it with silver of truth and the gold of love. He dies rich who can take his treasure with him to the new land where he is to abide forever ; and he wb.o lias to leave all behind on which he has placed affection, dies poor indeed. Our friend died richer than a Girard or an Astor; his monument is built of good deeds and noble examples. It will abideffbrevcr.—T. S. Arthur. Good Advice —ls the body is tired, rest; if the brain is tired, sleep ;if the bowels are loose, lie down in a warm bed and re main there, and cat nothing until yuu arc well; if an action of the bowels does not oc cur at the usual hour, eat not an atom till they? do act, at least for 36 hours, meanwhile drink largely of cold water and hot teas, exercise in the open air to the extent of gen tle perspiration, and keep this up until things are righted. This one suggestion, if practiced, would save myriads of lives eve y year, both in the city and country. The best medicines in the world are warmth, and .abstinence and repose. Talt. Fighting. —Of the 28,000 mus kets collected from the battle-field es Gettys burg!), syys a Yankee paper, 24,000 were found to be loaded, 12,000 containing two loads, and 6,000 from -three to ten loads each. In many instances half a dozen ball's were driven in on a charge of powder. In some cases the former possessor had rever sed the usual order, placing the ball at the bottom of the barrel and the powder on top. , ————— o — The Hanks, of South Carolina have advan ced one million of dollars iu specie to pur chase horses for the cavalry in that State. Fresh Air in Typhoid Fever. In a pamphlet entitled “ Application du Grand Air dans le Traitement de la- Fievre Typhoide,” Dr. Hampton, of Paris, pub lishes several remarkable cures chiefly attri butable to the tree admission of air to the patient s bed -room, fie considers a typhus fever to be a kind of paralysis or asphyxia of all the vital functions, occasioned by the respiration of a lethiferous atmosphere, emanating either from a typhoid patient or from any other morbid source, and he prac tically demonstrates not only the great ad vantage to be derived from the effects of open air in the treatment of typhus fever, but he pronounces the absolute immunity from coo tageon of infection in the open air. The patient cannot be exposed to any danger under any circumstances of complication by ether diseases, or from the temperature of the atmosphere; fbr if the patient is kept warm in bed by artificial means, the free breathing.of'pure fresh air will at all times keep up the natural animal heat. In typhus fever, complications of all kinds, of the lungs or any other organ,, only reader the free ac cess of pure fresh air more urgentand more necessary. The beneficial effect of fresh air also enables the practitioner to adminis ter stimulants which tlie patient might otherwise be enabled to bear.—Medical and Surgical Reporter. nmSNFiNFoMsr BEING POSSESSED OF THE ART OF writing invisibly, whereby private communica tion can be carried on with friends going in, or who may be left within the enemy’s lines, or with friends aud relatives at home withourfear of detection, 1 will furnish materials sufficient to write one hundred letters for the sura of one hundred dollars.
