The figure are suggestive of some reflec

brethren to taunt the Democracy with efltfjf

preservation of tbe o vera men t. Are they wil
ling now to maintain the aertiou, or will tbey
not more honorably admit that it was recklessly
and fool ihlv made in the excitement of politi
ral and party feeling? What charge ran be
more abaurd when brought against nearly one
half the electors of the United States? Doch

in their opinions? Are ther not entitled to equal
deference and respect? Do the 1 .NI.0UÜ pur
pose virtually to outlaw the 1.700.000 of their

the tlicy the administration should pursue?
K ' country professing to be free, the right

quetioned. how much more so doe- it apply when
there is a minority almost equal to the majority
in numbers, each counting nearly its two millions
of electors Thi remarkable division ot senti
ment should inspire mutual respect, if not re
gard. It should abtte and destroy those intol
er able and offensive pretentions ot superior pa
triotism, wisdom and vittue in which our Kepub
lican friends have indulged to an extent that is
absolutely disgusting and dangerous to the pub
lie peace.
While we ot the 1, 700 ,000 submit and acqui
esce to the decisions of the majority, we insist
that it is no more thin right and proper that some
deference, at least, should be paid to the views of
the powerful minority, who, equally with their
lellow citizens of the majority, have to bear the
hurdens ot the Government If their voice can
not be directly and positively beard in the Ad
ministration, it at least ought to be remembered
in order to moderate the excess of party zeal,
and to restrain it from violence and crime. On

If Sheridan s arm? eiperieocee mother defeat
ithin a few day-, and i compelled to retreat to
the north side of the Potomac and there are
indications thit something of this kind w ll take
place, ) it will he the direct result of the willful
obstinacy of the administration in refusing to
take certain measures to prevent such a disaster.
fimply because tbe tne-i-'ire- a re re u::u- ; 1
aud indeed, ordered by (eneral McCIellan, while
he was iu command of tbe army. It will be re
memhered by your readers that, before the de
feat of Sheridan's army on the 19th ult., our
force in tbe Y alley, having retreated from
Itrown's (iap and Harrisonburg, occupied a ptpj
ti in o'i tbe east side of Cedar Creek and on the
north aide of the north fork of the Shenandoah
rivet, about five miles northeast of Strasburg
and fifteen miles southwest of Winchester
Stra-burg was not occupied by either army: but
Early's forces were at Fisher's Hill, five miles
southwest of Strasburg Tbe Manassas (lip
railroad bad been rebu lf at great expense, and
Sheridan's army wis supplied by it directlr from
Wellington, tbe tr iins running from Manassas
Junction te Pront Royal.
Why not to Strasburg? Because, although
that place bad been in full and undisturbed pos
session of a garrison of Federal troop- for twenty
days, from the 'iOth of September to the 10th of
October, yet no steps whatevet were tiken to
fortify it. The consequence was, that, when
Sheridan retreated from Brown' (tap, between
the 6th and lUth ulta . be did not deem it pru
dent to halt at Strasburg, but crossed Cedar
creek, and encamped iu the position indicated
above, near Middletowu, where bis army re
maitied from the Ivith to the 19th of October
And yet Strasburg is usceptible of being
strongly fortified. If Strasburg had been suita
ably tortified, as it could easily have been. Sher
idan's army could have stopped there, and if
Sheridan's army had been there on the 19th ot
" -tober. pronetly fortified, the defeat of the
morning of that day would not have occurred
Earlf would not have dared to make the attack,
because he would have known that he would
certainly have been repul-e.l
The result of the neglect to fortify Strasburg
has been, first, that Sheridan's army was so
criopled on the 19th ult that he has been unable
to resume the offensive since; and second, that
the administration has been compelled to destroy
itself the very railroad that it lud rebuilt at such
great expense. The destruction of the Mina
sas Gap railroad was begun about the 25th of
October, and was finished in tbe early part of
this month. Sheridan's army, now broken up
into different detachment- and holding the line
of the Potomac, is now supplied from the gen
eral de'iot- ot Baltissors and Harper's Ferry.
But why has the Man.msas (lap railroad
been destroyed? And why was not Strasburg
fortified? The an.-wer will be in Gen. McClel

ned out and observed, would hive prevented
every adr.tnce which the Confederates luve .-ince
made through the Shenandoah alley, nut
they never have been carried ..ut or obeyed, Irom
ttiat time to this.
The main point of these instructions were, brst,
1 1 it- iiitreuchment of a stray force at Maua.-as
JoOCtioo; secoud. the rebuilding ot the Manas
SSJ Gan railroad from that point, not onlv to
Front Koyal, but to Strasburg. Strasburg be
IBf then bold, by General Shields, with 19,t7
troops; third, the fortification of Strasburg,
fourth, great activity aud constant employment
of tour reu'imenta ut cavalry in reconnoiteiioj
from Maints.-as Junction, F:ont Koyal, aud
Stra-burg, far up the valley, and beyond War
rentot). There were 3.Y4G7 troops lei t for these
services to the valley, beSSOOS .'f7.y"!l at and near
Washington, making 73.456 meu in all left for
tho defense of the Capitnl But these instruc
lions hte l.een "Odiously disreg:r!ed ever
since.
At the time that Ksr! y, with hit littie force of
1 j.tKIU troops, was tailing back before Sheridan's
army ol So.OQD men. ofSM the battle of Sept
1 Ü th . it was hoped by the administration that
the latter would take Lynchburg. But on the
7th or Sth of October, it became known at the
War Department that Sheridan bad beeu de
feited in -"even! engietnents near Brown's
and was then tetreating towards Strai
burg. Hi orler- were, hat, in cn.se he failed
to resell Lynchburg, and was compelled to fall house through the back door. V hilt e-c iptog

ministration well knew that that was what he in-law, she w.i- arreted by one of the policemen
was doitic Thev hoped, however, that he
would yet be able to maintain himself at some
good position near Strasburg, and sent him or
ders to that effect, which orders reached h m
at Strasburg on the lUth ol October In the
concluding paragraph of lhee orders he was
informed that the administration was then en
' gaeed in rebuilding tbe Mattaasas üap railroad,
and that he would be upoüed bv that road;
and he w si directed to send a strong detach -
mem to Front Royal as a protection thereto,
; He sent tbe 6th corps there accordinglv, and
moved Lis main body across Cedar Creek, as
has been tated above.
The Manassss Gap railroad !ns beeu de
stroyed again, because it would be a confession
of the wtdom of tien McCIellan to allow it
to be kept in operation It can never be kept
in operation, however, until Strasburg is prop
erly fortiied; and the i lministrition i.egie. ted

which the functions of vision were entirely b iterated
in tb right eye. The eye wm totally blind. The lady
placed herself under the treatment of Ir. Abarn. who has
SSraam week been operating in our city, who in the
short pace of three weefcs has entirely r stores, the eye
to its natural sight. This case is one that should com
mend the Loctor to those requiring treatment of the eye,

you a carelnl statement of oiy esjfl . toimer
treatmeut, my failure to obtain relief in tbat di
re'tion, ray resort to your treatment and its ben
eficial results
I have been from the winter of tr.e vear 1 -44,
subject to rioleut periodical attacks of CaUrrh.
marked by strong febrile sy mptoms, riolent in
danimatioti of tbe lining membranes of the cavi
lie ol tbe bead, accompanied in tbe first stage-'
by a watery discbarge from tbe nose, subeequef
ly becoming acrid and yellow, nd toward;,
close of the attack, purulent and bloody. Tbeae
attacks proijticed a moat dietreeing specie of
beadache. occurring periodically eacb day for a
period vanittg from one to three weeks, some
I Mi o violent as to incapacitate me for boei
ueas and at times confine me to my bed. At
times the attendant inflammation would extend
to the teeth. producing tootbacbe; or to tbe throat,
occasioning hoarsen sea aud partial'loea of voice;
aud twice within the last few years it haa m af
lened the left eye as to conüne me for weeks to
a darkened room.
I bad tried medicineand applications of vari
Otts kinds, snuffs and other catarrhal nrepara
tion of some half a dozen kinds; application to
the head of camphor, finger, and hot fomente
tions of different kinds, and in connection wite
tbeae the usual emetic or ouhartice employed to
induce counter action. But none of these had
produced any permanent improvement, and in tbe
tew instancee in which temporal relief was at
forded it was at tbe expense of o much strength
aa to leave me greatly exhausted Under ibev
circumstance I was led. though with reluctance,
from the supposed incurability ol tbe diaeaae. to
make a trial sj your treatment I found it soon
beyond even my hopes reaching tbe disease as
it bad never been reached before, and alleviatrcg
iu symptom to an extent which I bad supposed
impossible At tbe time 1 gave you mv former
certificate, while I did not feel aseured of a com
plete cure, I bad obtained a material relief wbrh
nearly repaid me for my trial of your treatment,
Mad which satisfied me that that treatment was
as effective as it waa simple and philoeophicsl. A
substantial eecape Irom my old attacks of catarri.
tor the unprecedented period of nearly bail a
.fear, and that iu spite of severe occurrences of
iKr.es- wrnch would have former!
an attack inevitable, was, to me, proof of an imf
portent success It is bow six mocha since I
I you that statement, and. while it is ur.pl
ant to me to appear thus constantly, and in ihr -guise,
before the public, it seems to me a matter
of simple justice to your-" If, and 10 those wbo
may be suffering as 1 was. to add that I am not
only as fully satisfied as to the uMlity and effica
cy of your method of treating catarrh as 1 waa
six months ago, but I am now ot tbe belief that
if there is auch a thintr ae a cure for -hror ie ca
tarrh, in rnv case a "ubatanual cure ha
