CORRESPONDENCE.

FROM GREEXCASTLE. Indiana Asbdry University, 1 May 8th, 1866. J Editors Journal : There was a large and enthusiastic meeting held at the college chapel on last evening, at which effective addresses were made by the Rev. Mr, Hight and Col. Ray; after which the pocket-book , began to speak, and at the close of the meeting the contributions amounted to fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000). ' Many, liberal and wealthy men were not able to be present who intend giving, and the contributions, with little trouble, will doubtless be augmented to twenty-five thousand dollars. The students and alumni of this institution intend endowing a Chair of $25,000; and it is requested that old students give tneir donations to tnis object. One-fourth of the amount is already raised. " 1 ; ' The roll of Asbury numbers over Four hundred students, one-half of whom fought in our army. ,If the people of Indiana give what is asked, and reasonably expected, before five "years the institution will catalogue three times four hundred. It is intended o make' this institution a regular University -not a common College to erect large buildings on grounds already purchased - to increase the faculty, to endow Chairs of Law, Hedicine, r Theology1,1 Agriculture, &c, that young men may be more peculiarly fitted to enter the profession they expect to follow in life. . It is fortunate for the educational interests of Indiana, that Ann Arbor is so far distant. We Bnould have an Ann Arbor in Indiana, there is room for one in any State where there are facilities. - -.- There seems to be a general interest manifested in this enterprise, . not of 3Iethodists alone, but by the friends of education all over the State. A lawyer of Peru, a Pesbyteqpin, expects to give the Institution $25,000. :.The students of the Institution are governed by no sectarian rules ; we are bound to no ereed ; it is left entirely optional with each one what views he will entertain what church he will attend. ' y - Dr. Bowman is very actively engaged in the present" enterprise, &nd with the co-operation of the friends and patrons of the Institution, Asbury wiil be raised up to life for centuries. ". "Iota', From the Chicago Republican, April2J. The Chicago Times Denounces Gen. Grant as a Thief and Murderer. ... The Chicago Tunes has not forgotten its malice, . It may have been repressed, but never diminished, and the murder of . the Deering family is seized upon as the pretext for repeating its denunciation of Gen. Grant as a thief and murderer. It finds in Anthony Probst, the slayer of the Deering, another Grant; it finds in the $300 and a . pair of boots an induce- , merit for crime fully . as . honorable as the capture :of Richmond, while the murder by Probst of those defenseless women and children is; no more infamous than the 'slaughter at Gettysburg, r Probst, it insists, is the hero of a bloody action not equaled, "unless fcy some of those who fought ' around Spottsvylvania, Court House." -- Probst wanted the $300 and the boots '.Grant, wanted Richmond; the Deering family stood in the way of the money and the rebel army in the way f Richmond. Probst murdered all the persona who could " prevent his theft; Grant did the same. Probst did no more than Grant, but as to the atrocity of his -act, was fully equal to him Grant'8 : motive vaas fully as criminal as, that, of Probst's, and to accomplish. his success, he murdered more people, and as malignantly as Probst. The two men are classed togetherequals in crime, and entitled to the same honors and fame in the estimation of their country. As Grant is awarded higher honors by a grateful country for, his deeds than have been awarded to his comrades, so Probst, it insists, should be exalted and honored above all murderers except Grant. It thus closes its comparison between Grant and Probst r " "He Probst needs honors of some " sort. It would be an insufficient ac ,' knowledgment to make him a- Brigadier General of murderers. A Major Generalship in the grades of slaughter would be beneath his deserts. We must look higher. He outranks the regular and highest of the customary official distinctions. He should be at the very least a Lieutenant Genera' " To the extent that Grant i3 a thief and murderer, whose deeds can only be classed in the same grade with the atrocious slaughter- of the. -Deering , family, so also must be classed the acts of Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, and their associates, rank and file, who,i during .four.; years, carried, the flag and the sword of their country through the land of ; the rebellion. Every man who, by word o deed, is responsible for a life lost in that war, even . if . taken in, defence of the j country j every soldier who bears upon ms : person ...the, scars j of battle, and before whom , contending traitors have fallen on the field ; every

man engaged in this war whose hands

are not bloody with i the gore oi the national defenders, is, by the Chicago 1 ti, pronounced a thiei and a mur derer. who. in all that constitutes hero, can only compare with Probst in the proportion that they took part in Grant s cold blooded murders. V e do not remember to have seen during the war. even in the rebe newspapers, more malignant and scur rilous defamation of Grant and the Union 'Soldiers than that which ap peared in the same issue ; of the Chi cago Times of April 22d. 1866. It is brutal in its taste, infamous in its ob ject, cowardly in its manner, and insulting in all things to the survivors of the army, and to their relatives an: countrymen, who claim for both liv ing and dead the honored crown of patriots and soldiers : ! Ilomtrpathic Treatment of Cholera. Many of our readers are adherents of the Homoeopathic practice, ' and for their use we print below some ad vice and directions, which we find in a new work by DrJ Henry Mintonof Brooklyn: "A Practical Homoepathic Treatise . on Diseases of Women and Children." .,".'. . ":' ; , Dr. Min ten urges cleanliness and serenity of mind, forbids : the use of chloride' of lime or other" " disinfectr ants? in the sickroom:,- ,V " f . ,' " Many people imagine that thevfor tify themselves against disease by keeping their bowels un a xelaxed condi tion, and consequently are in the habit ot, taking an: occasional, eathartie: others, with equal ; wisdom, think if they have a uarrho?a it "arises irom some , offending substance ..within. which must be carried offi and thev take purgative medicines to get rid of it. ; lioth ot -these' are serious and otten fatal mistakesoiDiarrhoea, during cholera seasons, . has a peculiar ten dency to run on, if mot checked, into the more perilous iorm ot the disease : and nothing is more certain to ensure and hasten that catastrophe than purgative medicines. - v ; i;. '. - " The least looseness of the bowels should receive prompt attentien: and those remedies which will quiet the irritation, and stop the copious dis charges, not by their stringent projierties, but by their direct specific effect upon the disease, are the best. " PREVENTIVE TREATMENT. ' "During the prevalence of cholera much may be done toward fortifying the system against us attacks by a judicious administration of homoepathic remedies. I say 'judicious administration ' because I believe the too fre quent repetition of large doses, that is, the crude drugs, or even the hrst potency, would do more harm than good.", llabtiemanrt - recommended Cuprum aud 1 erarum, of the thirtieth potency, to be taken in rotation every six or seven days. His advice was, ' First take one dose of Caprum, thirtieth ; then wait one week and take a similar potency of .Veratrum; after another week has elapsed take Caprum again, and so on. Perhaps this method cannot be improved on., I certainly should not think of giving a lower potency. ' . . . " Dr. Hering, of Philadelphia, says: xThe surest -preventive is sulohur. Put half a teaspoohful of flowers of sulphur iuw eacu oi y&ur stocKings, ana go about your business; never, go out with an empty stomach - eat no fresh bread nor sour'food. This is not only a preventive in cholera, but also in many other , epidemic diseases. Not one of the many thousands who ha ve ftlhnctd th my adcicet his bem uttarkedbtj ehobra. , ., -; . ! "As cholera has. heretofore appeared m the , United States,, it , has , always been preceded by a well-marked-premonitory stage, of from one to two or three days' duration ; such as confusion of the head, languor and debility, derangement of the stomach, and a tendency to diarrhoea. A8 a general thing, these symptoms occasion, but little if any pain Or uneasiness, and, what is ! singularj excite no .alarm, which is unfortunate, as a little wholesome fear would generate precaution ; and the administration of proper remedies at this stage of the disease h almost certain, to avert it. , . -., s . ; remedies. , ; " ' " Every family should be provided with a well-stopped vial of camphor, so that in cases of emergency there will be no delay. The ordinary tioeture procured at 1 the drueeists will answer. Or you can make it yourself ty mssomng one ounce or gum camphor in ten ounces i. e., two-and-a-nalf gills of alcohol. , ' , ' " Persons who carry camphor about wun meu in tneir pocKet as oni oowmie traveling, ana wnicn is very prudent-should be particular to have it well corked, ! - ,, ." Camphor- should : be given . in all eases at" the' commencement. . If the diarrhoea does not yield, and the stools are liquid and whitish, and especially if the tongue is covered with a sticky, pasty coating, follow it with Phosporic acid. Should there be great anguish in the chest; immoderate fear , of death ; lips blue and cold ; great thirst ; burning, pressure and anxietv in th I pit of the j stomach,, vomiting after drinking; rice-water evacuations withoutsmell; drdark, putrid evacuations j respiration labored; skin cold, bluish ana covered With a clammy perspiration give -Arsenicum:'1 , . : M Give Veratrum when there is vertigo with nausea ; blue face ; blue and cold lips ; coldness of the tongue cold sweat on the body ; vomiting and purging ; vomiting of watery liquid, attended with cholic and pain in the stomach and abdomen j rumbling in the intestines ; anguish in the chest; cramps in the chest and 'calves of , the legs;

excessive coldness; skin withered and

wrinkled. " Cuprum should " be given when there are cramps all-over the body cramps in the stomach : coldness ant blueness of the skin ; diminished se cretion of urine ; skin withered and corrugated ; eyes sunk deep in the sockets ; hoarseness of voice. - : , " Secate cornutum. When the diar rhoea produces great prostration of strength, especially in aged persons. "When complete collapse. is present, with coldness of breath, give carfjo Keg. : . Dr. Minton advises friction of- the limbs with the dry hand, or with flannel cloth, and hot bricks br bottles applied to the feet and about the abdomen. Small quantities of ice or ice-water may be given. External application of spirits is objectionable ; rubbing with the dry hand is ad vis able; bathing with camphor, patent lotions ot every description, plasters ot mustard, horse-radish, and f every thing of the kind, are not . only dis-countenr-aced but positively prohib ited. .
