Private Correspondence. About en year ago, a correspondence took place between Ctor. Baker and Bon. Will. ; Cumback, In u.:ea:Jdoabt,by flic assurance of political friendship given through Messrs. Burma and Simm (which we published ia but week's So.) by special reques of Oor Baker, to ifr. C..; The purport of tbo letter; to Gov, Baker ht4 in 4 the" event of Mr. Hendricks being nominJl.bj lJipwtj ftr, GorernoiAand resigning his seat in tbs U. 8. Sanate, the request is mads that ha (Cuetbeck) might be selected to All IIs unexpired term, and that he (Mr. C.) would not be in Got. Baker's way aa a candidate for any State office be- might desire. . Relying span assurances given, C. . than cenftdes in Oof. Baker, and requests him to return his note if be disappioTedof its contents. This Got. Baker did not do ; but meanly and sneakingly not only withheld the letter, for an opportunity to ase it against Mr Camback ; but wrote a note, in which ha assumes the most exalted and virtnons indignation, that .any maa .should da approach m with aueb a "corrupt" and ndecent" proposi tioa I Keeping the fact in riew, that the Gov. made the first advancea for a J'dickerV and then violates the trust so invited and reposed, is, we think especialy to be reprehended by all ; honorable3 men, and macks of the Joab-style of solicitude tbst was practiced in the days of King David j bat will not be tolerated in this Republican land of ours, and is only to be practiced and f defended by arrant hypocrites and knaves. This may be characterised as strong language towards the "po wars-thai-be; k' but we think it just although it grieves ns to thus speak in plain terms of eve whom we nave regarded as an honest man and a christian ; but we despise a hypo erite whether oecupyiag a high or a low place in society. - Subscribing as wa do to the doctrine that the S'powers-that-be are ordained of God ; " yet we believe that ate act of betrayal of private oonfideDco was instigated by the devil, and Gov. B. seems to have been overcome by the "Gentleman-in-black" to do a very mean action in his service, and that of the Democratic party of the State of. Indiana j for it is only necessary to look at the vote in the Senate, on the resolution of censure, to see how sweet the hypocritical moraat was that the Democrat of that body, (led by such eontcirntiaut mea as James Hughes and Isaac Kinley,) rolled under their tongues t Senator. On Friday last, . Daniel D. Pratt, of Logansport; was elected U. S. Senator every Republican, including Hughes and Kinley, voted for him. This suits us. Mr. 1 Pratt," was' aa "old and steadfast Henry Clay Whig, and . has been a Republican ever since that party wan organized, .., This is a hppy ending to a Baker-Camback discontent, and has made a glorious political summer for the party-a. The Legislature has Pratt led to a good purpose.' V . , J f In Mr. Whitb, Bookseller of our city, laid on onr table Mrsl Henry Ward Beeoher's new Monthly Magazine "The Mother 'at .

Jan. 14, of heart disease, at the age of 56 years and 8 months. He had been unwell two days, requiring tbe care of physicians, and was pronounced by them convalescent on Thursday morning, snd continued getting better during the day, but at night was attacked by beart disease, of which he died in a short time. Mr, Walker was well known to a large nnmber of our citizens, having been engaged here for several years in the mercantile business, previoiS to 1857. Bia death will be regretted by the numerous friends here who respect him for his many virtues. 1 ! From 1860 until his death, Mr. W. was connected with the financial business of the Chicago and Gr at Eastern Railway, aq,d its successor as paymaster, and in ever position secured the confidence ot aU by the faithful discharge of his duties. He died surrounded by the children " he had loved and labored to make bappy and useful, and leaves a sorrow-stricken household to revere bis memory and emulate his virtues. The funeral was attended Sunday afternoon froim his residence by a large number of friends, who bore testimony to bis .worth as they deposited his remains in Rose Hill Cemetery. democratic Pharot.

The New York dailies, since , the res port of analytical chemists of the ard, of excise has been madeare asking tho; question, Wfiat is fusil oil ?r Some fcavd also made a 'Jeebje attempt to anfwerThe question Vhich is thus propounded 4hejuery has arisen from the fact that the report above alluded-, to states that out of thuty two samples of Bourbon and brandy obtained from the liquordealers of this cit' all but four contained fusel oil. One da!ly:gives vent to its' feelings in the following : : ! ' . "Is it after all such a frightful thing? Dungfison describes it as an acrid,' volt itleToil, "formed in the manufacture of pd; tatd brandy, and which Js not easily separable from it; and another authority says it accompanies ordinary alcohol in its production from potatoes and grain. Dunglison also says that its chemical constitution is analagous to that of al cohol, and that,, in small doses, it is highly stimulating acting like narcotics in general; while, in large doses, it destroys the mucous membrane of the stomach. The same authority also designates it, as 'potato oil,' corn spirit oil,' 'amylic alcohol,' 'gain oil,' .'corn spirit oil,', 'amylic alcohol,' and 'hydr ated oxide of amyle.' . Some medical men have considered that in the use of whisky. by consumptives, , fusel oil was jthe effective element having the tendency to retard, the, processes of decay in the tissues of the lungs. , But ; there ,is no question of the ruinous effects of the fusel oil liquor sold in New York.';' In ;regard to the effects of fusel - oil upon the human system we can do no better than to quote , the "United States Dispensatory,'' -; which says : "Amylic alcohol, ( fusel oil, ) as shown by ex -periments on inferior animals, is an &c .tive, irritant poison." If that is not sufficiently definite ..tto satisfy anxious and thirsty inquirers;iwe shall not attempt to make it more so... Of course it may be, taken .like othcr poisons 7 dilutedwith water and common alcohol, as it is found in the compounds - doled out by honeat and, conscientious rum 8 el lers without danger of immediate death or anything more serious than redness of the eyes,' .- temporary madness . of brain, and now and then a touch of deli rium;, tremens, . until the coats of the stomach and the nervous system sue eumb to continued and prolonged ! at tacks,and another wreck is cast upon the shores of life. But it i3, nevertheless, a poison, an active, irritant poison, , upon good authorit'. How it gets into the liquor is of little consequence. The re port says it i? thore.'ats'l we say let it alone and it won't pc-ison you. ' 1"

Secondly. Many that have retained flocks have abandoned improvements cn them; bred them the past fall to rams of inferior quality; or made the most 'irrational crosses. -: Third. Not a few farmers, we are told, in certain portions of the country, are preparing to make another egregious mistake; namely, to give their sheep an excessively poor wintering, feeding them very, scantily, and compelling them in a' great measure to shift for themselves. ' " ' ' The folly of this last procedure is fully equal to that of either of the others; and it is barbarous as . well as foolish. If sheep are worth wintering, it is certainly more profitable to cive them a full supply of food, and thus preserve their lives and obtain their full smount of wool and lambs next spring, than it is to go to half the same cost for keep ing and, have half or more of the sheep. perish in March-r lose half the value of the wool and nearly the entire crop of lambs.(;; -.'-' - ;.:lvl: V::;,; ..... -v---We question the moral, right of .any man thus purposely, and without actual necessity,; to subject to ;slow ; starration and long protracted suffering any, ani malj " and. especially '; any domestic animal.t -And what shall we say of its humanity? !

" This was ; resented by the latter State, which passed laws making such offences punishable - by fine, imprisonment, or whipping, at the public whipping-post. On one occasion a New-Yorker was arrested by a constable! of Monmouth County and taken - before a justice of the peace, who, finding tho case clearly proven against the New Yorker, imposed a fine and a short imprisonment for his offencel i; The New-Yorker sned out a writ of habeas corpus, and by means of a writ of certiora obtained a new trial in a - higher court, and through some legal flaw in the proceedings before the justice : obtained a reversal of his sentence, and - got off scot-free.v: . ; - s--i - :.r-..;Ji-: ; Emboldened by bis success ' on : this occasion, it was not long before he was again dredgirg for oysters within" the jurisdiction of the justice aforesaid, 'and was again arrested.. The justice had been' greatly annoyed nt the reversal f his judgement on the previous occasion, and now determined to pay off tlie old score.; JAfter hearing! the case,! which was without difficulty proven against the culprit,' he turned to the constable and said:! ; 'You take this m an right away to' the whipping-post;- and give -him thirty : lashes, and, d n h im, let hi m - certiorari that? vThe New-Yorker' was ever afterward impressed with ther idaa that legal-pfaetice in New- Jersey needed codifying. ; t;: :.-:iu fi i t " ""J1 '. 1 " :". . s Mr. K.

Pr. A-M, Trench formerly of "Naw York City, respectfully announces that ha has resum ed practice, and ,wiU, for many years to coma yifiit montnly nearly ail ol lte principal cities of the XJniot sUtad pariods for Uvatnen! .ot all forms of chronic disease. Hayin? just fe turned from Europe wnere be Has for the put ten tears been deyoting his time exclusively to the f treatment f patients in the principal hospitals id If ranee, bogtena and Germany, he can assure the afflicted that in all chronic dis eases he can safely be relied upon. Among the chronic ailments which he cures he would men tion the following. ' All diseases of the Liver, usually called L-tver Coin plaint; all affections of the Lungs, such as uonsumption,.Uough8, Bronchitis, Loss of Voice, Sore Throat, Asthma, etc., etc ; .Dyspepsia, or Sourness of the Stomach after meals. Spitting up of Food, Belching of Wind. Constipation of the Bowels, Sick Headache, Neuralgia in every form, all affections of tbe Kidneys and Bladder, KDenraattsm, Dropsies, Palpitation of the Heart, Epilepsy or Fits, Scrofula, all diseases of the Blood, Eruptions, Salt Rheum, Genei J Debility, Nervousness, and all diseases peculiar to tbe Female system. Ilarine, as above stated, made all the aboye and their kindred complaints a long lite study, and haying seen, personally examined and trea ted successfully hundreds of cases amicied wun each variety of these diseases, Dr. French feel confident that in offering bis services to the af flicted world in this way, he is simply acting in the line of duty. He has no desire to be anything less than 6tbict&y "hokobablb: with all who may seek his aid, and will therefore still adhere to the rule he adopted in early life, never to flatter the sick and inspire hopes of recov ery, unless tne case admits or no doubt in that respect. Many cases being incubablb, and as he does not wish to put any of this class to expense, he has devised a Way in which his opinion may be obtained free ' of charge. The particulars in regard to this will be given under the head of "Waste of Time." All persons who may think of consulting Dr. French, 'should read this whole column before calling on him personally, or making up their minds what is best for them to do. The sick are so often disappointed in their search for means of reliefso often flattered by the dishonest and inspired with hopes that were never realized that it is nota matter of wonder that they have in many instances grown sick at heart and "yielded to despair. Dr. French will deal honorably with AtW believing that Always to be the best policy. His fees for treatment wilt be ' reasonable, "and not be required from any patient until a cure la effected, and bis charge for medicine will be only what ihey.coat him. . 41is- appointments are as follows: ........

' ,i ,'.' '' issii tl-'.um-u?oti v.!-..'' tall WASTE OF TIME" -.There are only about thbbb-fifths of the ca-. ses of chronic disease that admit of positivb and radical oDBE. , One-half of the incurables can be," under favorable circumstances, much benefitted, and the other half only palliated. I am willing to treat any case and do what I can for". It, bat it so happens that a very largo number of those patients' whose complaints cannot be wholly eradicated do hot wish to nnderx go treatment. Now as my time at each point I visit is att heeded in examining and treating the cubabtjB eases it would be a waste of time for me to bestow my attention npon those whom I cannot cure.-- ' a i ;-f.:t he-. .-. .. , m : i.. jj -'b tvi To avoid this, and save the patient all unnecessary trouble and expense, all are required to write taf me and await my answer before calliDg on me at any of the places I visit. ' Each per son so doing must answer the , following ques tfionsj '.""What is your height. Weight and age? How' long have you been sick?; Are'you of temperate habits? 'What do physicians call your disease? Are your bowels usually costive or otherwise? Is your complaint hereditary that is, have any other members of your family so far back as you canj trace been afflicted in the same manner as you? Has emaciation (loss of flesh) been gradually going oa since you became aware of your present complaint? , What is the condition . of your mind? "Are your thoughts and' emotions generally of a dreary nature or the contrary? Have you pains of any kind?: If so, give their location, character, and degree of intensity lav nearly as you can and the length of time you have had them, ?l tr A plain answer to the foregoing questions Will enable me to determine at, once whether Ihe case is a curable one.
