**Whoeveris not prepared to saereficc party organlzntions aud platforms ou the altar of his country does not' deserve "the support and countenance of honest.people. How are we to overcome partisan antipathies in the minds of men of nil parties so as to present a united front in support of our country?

"When Tvebhstl 'nave rescued the Government and country from its perils, and scon its flag floating in triumph over every incli of American soil, it will then be time enough to enquire as to who and what has brought these troubles upon us.

BATTLE OF HILL SPRIXGS. The (olographic dispatches of Tuesday, which will be found elsewhere to.fday, bring us the news of a bloody battle near Somerset, Ky., on Sunday last. between Zollicoffer's forces and the Di--visions of (.fens. Thomas and Schoepff. '/The report states that Zollieofier ad-

"ranced from his entrenchments on the I-

Somerset, and attacked Ken. Thomas,

a forward movement of Gen. Schoepff's

Division on the other side from Somerset. It was doubtless the intention of Zollicofler to attack these divisions .with a superior force on the NapoleonHe system. The Cincinnati Gazette, in fits report, says the plan was good, but •lacked one important feature in its ex-

ecution namely: instead of beating the. divisions in detail. Zoliicoffer was defeated and killed, and his army driven back to their entrenchments, whieh *m the same n^h'. they alwindoned, leaving a post they iiad fortified with iriuch care and great labor. They also left their cannon, stores, tents, wagons.

&c., which fell into the hands

of our forces. This redoubtable General, who has so long held Cumberland Gap, threatened Eastern Kentucky, and harried and devastated the country, has-, terminated his treason at the first engagement, and his formidable army has ignominiously fled from their strong position.

This success, and that of Col. Garfield further East, says the Gazette, are the beginning of the end of this rebellion. It will receive it* death-blow in Kentucky and Tennnessoe. There the great battle of the war will bo fought, and wherever our armies advance the same results will follow.

Two hundred and seventy-five rebels are reported killed and wounded, including Zollicoffer, and Baillie Peyton, a member of Zoilicoffer's staff. Our exact loss is not given. The loss, however, of the 10th regiment, Col. Manson, (which is supposed to have been in tho advance.) is reported at seventyfive killed and wounded. The fight is feaid to have commenced at 6 A. M.. and continued all day.

War was actually levied on the Government at that time. Before the 1st of March the rebellion was inaugurated, and Davis was elected its President.

The rebels in dispersing had crossed the Cumberland river in one steamboat and nine barges, at White Oak, opposite their encampment at Mill Springs.

Two hundred and seventy-five rebels killed and wounded, including Zollicoffer and Peyton, wore found on the field.

I. In the case of an individual suspected to be under the influence of smallpox, but with no distinct eruption upon him, a large wine glass full of an infusion Of tho root of the plant "sarracenia purpurea," or pitch-er plant, (several specimens of which1,' including the root, were exhibited on the table,) is to be taken. The effect of this dose is to bring out the eruption. After a second or third dose, given at intervals of from four to^ix hours- ithe postules subside, apparently losing their vitality. Tho patient feels better at the end of each dose, and, in the graphic expression of "Miemae," "knows there is a great change within him at onco."

II.'In a subject already covered with the-' eruption of smallpoi in tho early stage, a dose or two will dissipate the postules, arid subdue tho febrile symptoms. Under tho influence of the remedy, in three or four days tho prominent symptoms of the constitutional disturbance subside, although, as a precautionary measure, tho sick person is kept in camp until the ninth day. No marks of the eruption (as regards pitting, &c.,) have been left in cases examined" if treated by the remedy.

III. With regard to tho medicineacting (as is believed by the Indians) in the way of a. preventive, in those exposed to infection, it is curious to note, that in the camps whero the remedy b&s been used, the peoplo keep a weak infusion of the plant prepared, and take a dose occasionally during the day, so as to "keep the antidote in the blood."

A discussion followed the reading of this paper, in which Mr. Mason, Dr. Copland, Dr. Waller Lewis, Dr. Babbingtoh, Dr. Morehead, Dr. Milroy, Mr. Radcliffe, Mr. Lord, and Dr. McWilliams took part.

The Paoli Eagle makes the fol

lowing practical suggestion for tho relief of our soldiers in the several military hospitals:

We think we can suggest a plan by which a great deal of good can bo done and many lives saved. Let the citizens of each county form a society and raise funds to defray the expense of a good nurse t-o go and stay at the hospitals where our sick arc sent, to wait npon and take care of them. Wo can find plenty of men who will go and stay a week at a time il'their expenses were paid. In this way a vast amount of real good could be done, and many lives saved.,

In a hospital that attention cannot be expert to t']C sick that their friends and acquaintances would render. The cost would not amount to much, and there is no telling the amount of good that would bo done.

Let every county in the State organize a'sbciely of this kind, and they will never regret hrvingdone eo. This will be the right kind of aid.

/SgT A tsnfordsviile correspondent of thb Ncxc Albany Ledger says:TKc Government will erect an extensive provision depot and ordinance building here with in the next two weeks, which" will require a strong force to be left hero to guard the bridge and Government property, and there has been considerable speculation among tho troops*to knowT who will be the unfortunate ones,for I don't believe there is a man but what is anxious to mote'on with the division.

Tlie Democratic Convention, The New Albany Ledger (Dem.) says of the.. JLate Democratic State Convention:

This body called by Messrs. Palmer and Bingham of Indianapolis, met at the Metropolitan Theatre at the State capital, on the 8th insfc. The attendance from the abolition counties was quite large, but the Domocrats of tho Southern portion of the State—tho Banner Districts and Banner counties —were few, they seemed too care but little about the affair. They are just now engaged in an endeavor to opeD up the Mississippi for the conveyance of their produce to the ocean, and care little aboutconventions or the intrigues of office seekers.

Again it says: The managers of the late Convention at Indianapolis seem to think that tho way to conciliate the Union sentiment of the South, is to ceaso fighting the rebels and deal tenderly with them. How foolish! Every sensible man knows that there is not a Union man in East Tennessee but prays daily and nightly for the arrival of the Union army in that loyal but oppressed region. As the morning sun gilds their mountain tops, thousand strain their eye3 Northward to catch the first glimpse of their long expected but long delayed deliverers. In New Orleans, in Memphis, and every other city there is not a man who is not anxiously and prayerfnliy awaiting the arrival of the-Federal (U'FflieSr-

"What alls Montgomery and en» 222SOB?" C'ol. Jennison, Kansas let cavalry, Is a small man of delicate constitution, physician, originally from Livingston county, N. Y. When the Border Ruffian horde went into Kansas to elect the first Territorial Legislature, they passed Jennisbn's house. His wife and only child, attracted by the cavalcade, went to the door and while standing there were both shot dead by the ruffians. "That's what ails Jennison tho Jay hawker."

Montgomery is a Kcntuckian—a mild gentlemanly, highly-educated man—a clergyman, and a graduate of Oberlin. When the Border Ruffians, in one of th ei raid s. reached Mon tgo mery's homo they took him prisoner—tied him to a tree, and brought out his wife—an elegant and accomplished lady—and vioted her person in the presence- of her and that's what ails Mont-

husband gomery."

Why Gen. Scott Resigned. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says:

We find in the papers, without any clue to its origin, the following statement, confirmatory of some suspicion-! published in the Republican several weeks since: "It is said that some months ago, when the rebels were in forco on Munson's Hiil, McClellan laid a plan to surround and capture them. This plan was only known to McClellan, Gen. Scott and Col. Scott (a relation of the General's by marriage.)— As tho troops started out at night for their assault, a signal rocket went up from Washington. On their arrival at Munson's Hill the bii'd had flown.— McClellan being informed of this, immediately called on Gen. Scott, finding thero Col Scott. He immediately said to the General, "the enemy have been warned of our movements by a rockot. They must havo been so warned by one of us. Which is the traitor?" No answer was given. McClellan then called on thePresiciont, stated the above facts, stated his conviction that Col. Scott was the delinquent, and insisted upon his immediate imprisonment, or his banishment, or his own resignation. Then followed Gen. Scott's resignation, then his journey to Paris, and the selfbanishment of Col. Scott.
