The Cause of Fever and Ague.
In ihc Janu. ry number of'the Amer
ican Journal ojWicdical Sriencc there
is a most vailuable dbcovery annouim
eed by Dr. J. II Salisbury. He has
satisfied himselt that the real cause of
fever and ague, in what are called
malarious districts, is to be traced to
a plant called the Aqua Palmella, one
of the lowest known forms of ve e*
table organism. The spores and
oblong cells of this plant are, it seems,
elevated by the exhalations rising up
from the heated earth iu the night,
when the atmosphercrc has become
cooler. The breathing in of tho*e
spores is said to be the cause of fever
and ague. Indeed, it would seem
that they possess a powerful medicai
effect, usef’u-1 to some—constitutions
predisposed to consumption, for iii”
stance —yet destructive to’ others,
through the fevers produced. It is
supposed that, by proper arrangements,
tile knowledge of the>e facts will lead
to the extirpation of the plants in
many regia s, mid a more proper treat -
ment of the disease. It will thus
tend to render places habitable by
white men, where before they could
not subsist.
• Rrmnrliablc Well in lmliniia.
The Terre Haut(lnd) Express says:
We have mentioned several times
the progress in boring an oil well at
God’, on the Wabash, some forty miles
north of this city. A few days since
the auger broke through the roof of the
cavity. The auger was take* ont_

The well was sunk four leet deeper,
which opened new cavities, and in*
creased the amount of water to ten
gall* ns a minute, and it is now fimv*
ing live hundred barrels a-day of white

to have teched tumblers with you.
Thank the Lord that there are good
men North of Dixey. There s a heap
of’em here, Mr. Hall, and their hearts
are jumpin and a thumpin as big as
yours. Their hearts were castles, and
their, buzzutns sitadols, but you have
taken ’em. Hunt bo alarmed, dont

wipiri away the curses that were upon
our lij s. Wi are risiti up from our

Think of it, Tammany. W hat a glo

konsiled. What spirit, what gost,
what insptra ion told you how to reach
us ! How did you know that we was
weak where we was strong, in tlie same
secret corner of our buzzoms?
You’ve got us Tammany and we'll
respond to you, we’ll reinforce you.
We vc said some hard tilings, Mr.
Hall; we’ve tried to skerreh, and blis
ter and excoriate, but you sec wo were
goaded, gored by bulls-. Trumbulls
and.Republican bulls. They bellered
and we pawed They puhehed us

desolate, .the people’ in niounin and
their homes in ashes ; —no luxuries, no

unconstitutional-to us for them fellers
to enter the celestial city. They may
pass amendments enuf to do it, and 1
reckon that's why they are a tin-kerin
at the old dokument so long ; but some- 1
how or another whe-n I hear one of ern.

Tammany. .
Rut maybe we ll get over sich feel.-

We are all right towards you, old Hall,

But you are smart Joshua and it was |

that night, when he axd you if you ’
would have -taken that oath. You j

was fit rnity titc question, con-idori n the’

Rut now about-that seesaw bisness } t ou
spoke of, you sai t in your speech that
you w r as playin see-saw in politix, and
if your end of the plank went down i:*
Georgy it wo .Id go up in Washititon,
by which I suppose you meant that
you was ready to swap enus jest to
suit your nekuliar seeku instances; and
that’s what's the matter agin Joshua.
You have been seesawin too long and
elvangin ends too often. Twasent no
time tube swappin hisses my friend.
But see here Joshua, Mr. M” ish ill
may be a clever reporter, bu he treat
ed you ba lly. He’s left out a heap of
your speech. He aint had printed
that see be sawflger at all, and it was
I assure you a most bt u'.iful metafor of
speech And lies left out them little
sparks of Southern potriotism which
yon emited. Howsotnevcr, may be
tlie>e things would have been in the
way of tho Wash in ton and of the soe
saw. 11l t< 11 you my friend, where
you wast’d time in your remarks
You said that if we did not eleek you
now we might want you hereafter and
then we c mid- nt git yon.’ Dont worry
yourself on our akKount.- Dont cross
the bridge before you git to it. It will
be time e us, Joshua, for yeu to rc.use
when we-ax you. We h vent, been
rinjtiin you down to give you ofli-, atid .
we aint a goin to. Do you seesaw
away on your plank, and. take good
care that you dont fall off. Your,
speech was Sorter spiteful Joshua, and
it reduced to is gum wou and re.,d about
thus : “Boys Im >t whale,'l am, and l
am a prophet, and if you dont clekt
me to the Senate I'll go.to Washinton
and give you’ the devil ’’
Well, we dident elect lrim, Mr.
Tammanny, and the devil may-come
.In the landgwage of Patrick Henry,
let him come —I repeat if, sur, Let*
him come There wa another can
didate, Mr. ll’all,. whose name was
Jeems J hnsin. Well, I like Jeenis
party well, lie didenf run nobody
down, nor put on airs 1 mout have
voted for him if lie had lived in (he State,
and 1 hadent liked Hershel better.
The truth is, I was partial s o Jeems
for his old king sine, lie was a pow
erful war horse in sixty one. How
glorious he tigered at the Columbus
war meetings. He encouraged the
boys amtuin, and’ lie beat anybody a
. gittin volunteers How proud we Was
‘of him that, night, when bean 1 Colonel
Sims made friends on the stand, arid
the Colonel pin * a seceshion cockade
upon Jeems’ coat collar, He then
got inspired, and spoke lor two hours
in words that breathed of ditches and
death, and was full of'the spirit of7o
Ilis watch word were ‘ limning and
seccshion,” ami he voted for etu both.
Oh, he’s a whale in gettin up a war.
Alas 1 he were site sent per then, but
he are sih transit,now. So mote it be,
Mr. Tammanny ; I couldent help it.
How-minever, it don’t matter much, I
reckon; for we’ve cot another Jol nsin,
and rliey are a high’ roostin family,
shore.
Now you understand the trouble,
Mr.’ Tatnmanny, about this election.
We was huntin for two full Hooded
Union men who c-Qidd fit and their way
to Washinton and back, without a way
bill, ;aml we. cou.dent find eni They
aint in the S'at,- 1 tell you.’ So.-we
fell back upon the old find marks, we
are ridin the old wagin bosses, and
our opinion is,, that Andy .wont raise
any row.in .partikler .about, it. If He
does , we don't care a darn.
Yours truly, Rill Arp’.
P, S. —I’m gittin to be highly loy
ai, Mr. Hall, I kuow I aui ; for a fel
ler tried to sell mr a ljttle nigger, to

of a bill, .that’s coniin up to bind out
the niggers f0r.99 years, and I’m agin

• The wbcman’t-ell us “there is noth

is nothing absolutely new, there are
certainly some things teniflttbij

to be seen only once in a 1 t'etime -N*t
a*few examples ol this sort, arc now
exhibited it* the . events of the my
. and in the circumstances by which Wfi
j are surrounded.. Let us proceed to
enumerate some of th-m : •
‘. l. \Yc ‘have’ waged a sanguinary
war for'four yeats to keep the .South,
ern States in the Li ion; and now, that j
the war is cn or, we proclaim that they
iu* *!/.- . ..oiiws . JU’''k.lllok .yb'Jllt
struction ! We have consequently sac
rificed . three billions of ( ollars and a
•half a mil ion of human beings lor
nought!
’J We proclaim that we have eon-,
quered the south, but alas, it seems
the South, has conquered us They
have, at least, achieved the r purpose,
while ours has failed and miscanied !
3 We nave proclaimed that the doc
I tnne-of secession was false in theory
l and : mpossible in pva.ct ; ce But. what
do we behold! We see this very doe
trine fulfilled, accomplished, demons
■Jratcd. It is no longer an abstraction,
a myth; but an accomplished fact !
4. We pr< claim Tennessee out of
the l. nion-. and that she has forfeited
all rights of re-piCsentation in the coun
cils of the naljon Ye’ we behold one
of her citizens filling’ the Lxcutrve
cliair and wielding the sceptre of uu*
tlioritv over the entire counti’y.
5 We deny ihc Representatives of
Tennessee a seat in the Senate. But
we behold the sajn6 individual douii
oiled, in the. White House,’ and his
wife doing thedionors of’ reception to
the.nation’s guests 1
G. We profess to'love the Union,
and pride ourselves upon the saciiti
ces we have made, in its’ bchtilt, and
yet we throw every obstacle in the. way
of its completq, restoration and perma*
nent establishment.
7. We proclaim eleven States out of
flic Union ; and yet when we would
amei and the Constitution ‘.ve call upon
these very States to say yea or nay,
and we count their votes as if they
were int r al parts and coequal mem
bers of the Confederacy !
8. W e proclaim the doctrine that
t; xation without representation is tyr
a nay and despotism, even justifying
revolutionary resistance and yet we
practice the tyranny thus repudiated
by imposing taxes upon the people ot
this Dcstricfc !
9. We profess to be’ieve that the
majority rule,'and that the -will of the
i people should rule; , and that the pen-,
pile is the supreme law ; yet we contra
dict that belief by forcing negro suf
frage upon a pet pie ‘ who- have, unauis
imiusly voted•?gainst it ‘•
.10. We profess to-be actuat and by
the great principals’ of right and jus
tio.e in legislating, dav alter day and
week {liter week upon a single top c,
and yet continually do violence to
those, pr ncipals upon almost every
other subject! ‘
11. Wedenotnce disunionists as reb
els and tiaitror-; and yet we a;e guilty
ourselves of disunionism in rejecting
all overtures tor a prompt and Consti- -
tutional aMiendment. ’
These r.rj a tew of the inconsisten

Others could be added bat the list is

The >orlli!-rp Ai-wij its the f;nte War.
From a bill that has been reported
by a committee in Congress, we find
the real strength of the Northern
army brought to a three years standard,
amounts to [2,199,717] Two million
one hundred and unity nine thousand
seven hundred and seventeen.
That the could withstand
such overwhelming numbers for soar
long years-, with no navy ; blockaded,
no outsid friends, and limited resour
ces ; we feel that detea under the cir
cumstances, but r dounds to the val
or of S uthern arms, and places ou r
generals high upon the roll of fame.

To kill cockroaches—get a pair of
heavy boots, then catch your roaches,
put them into a barrel, and then get in

To catch mice—on going to bed put
crumbs into your mouth and lie with

The irrepressible negro who made
such frail tic ch ir.gcs’upon the eatnp
kettle, and assisted in savin the re
public by wearing out the shoes and •
clothes furnished by Massachusetts
manufacturers and contractors, stands
in the history of to-day as our Savior,
while Andrew Johnson is Pontius
Pilate, and the white South is Uarab
has (Pant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thom
as, Parragut, and all their white follow*
ers, were only so many gupernumera
ties to the black brigade of shoe-wear*
ers and kettle cleaners. What is
doubtful in the Constitution becomes
as clear as daylight when seen thiongh
the amendment b; isket.
The Southern blacks are citizens of
the United States, while Southern
whites never were, nor never ought to
be. What is'not darkey is oligarchy.
Clack is white, and white black. The
white man was made a little lower
than the angels, and the angels wire
‘made a good, deal lower than the ne
groes. Taxation without representa
tion is’ the injustice of this, as it was
of our fathers age, ad while there is
not one m gim in tv.euty thousand who
is any more liable to taxation than a
woodchuck is, he ought to be re 1 resen
ted, if not a . Representative, and to
have the right’ to suffrage,. while the
Southern whites sin uld be taxed to the
t.uno of ten cents per pound on their
cotton, with no representative in this
or any future Congress, and we will
disfranchise them if we can. The col
ored brother is of infinitely more im
portance than t-he Constitution or the
country ‘I bus, dressed in Ciceru's
old clothes, pa rad's the irrepressible
daikey into the presence of the sub

Siiinlnr Tradition.
Among he Seminole Indiands, there
is a. singular tradition regarding the
white man’s oiigin and supcrioiity.
I hey say that when the Great Spirit
I made the eaith. he also mare three
n.on, all of whom were fair complex--
ioned ; and that alter making tlitm,
he led them to the ma-gin of a small
lake and hade them jump in and be
j washed. Une immediately obeyed,
’ and came from the water purer and
\ fairer than before ; the second Imsita
jte a moment, during which time tlie
! water, agitated by the first, had became
I slightly .muddled, and when he had
j bathed he came up copper-colored ;
i the tbired did not leap in till the wa
ter becairn black with mud, and he
came out with its color. Then the
Grea: Spirit laid before them three
packages of hark and bade them choose
ana out of pity for liis misfortune in
color, gave the b ack, man fir. t choice,
lie took hold of each of the packages,
and., having lelt the weight, chose the
second heaviest. When the packages
were opened, the first was found to 1 e
spades, hoes, and ail the implements
ot labor; the second enwrapped hunt
ing, fi.-hing and warlke. apparatus; the
third gave to the white mat: pens, ink
and paper-—the engine of the mind
the means of nuitu 1 improvements—
tltg social link ot humanity—tlie found
ation of the white man's superiority.
A-Paris letter says that whenever
the Emperor wishes to retain the. media
ory of anything i.e hears in conversa
tion lie makes a note of it in a blank
book,which is always on his writing
desk; he tears out the leaf on which
lie has written the note, reads it atten
tively and. then tears it up. This
habit one day greatly puzzled the Pi ince
de Metternieh, the Austrian Ambassai
dor, to whom the Emperor was giving
audience. The Ambassador express-,
ed his astonishment and curiosity. His
M j sty at o ce grat fit and ii by saying
that whenever he once wrote and af
terwards read attei tively the written
note, he never forgot it
