Are ye all there ? Are ye all there,
Sure of my country'a sky?
Are ye all there ? Are y< all th/ref

“Count us’ Count us,” was their answer,
As they dazzled on my view,
In glorious perihelion.
Amid their field of blue.
I cannot count ye rightly ;
There’s a cloud with sable rim.
I cannot make your number out.
For my eyes with tears are dim.
Oh ‘ bright and blessed Angel,
On white wing floating by,
Help me to count, and not to miss
One star in my country’s sky !
Then the Anec-l touch’d mine eye lids.
And touch’d the frowning cloud;
And its sable rim departed.
And it fled with mnrky shroud.
There was no missing Pleiad,
‘Mid all that sister race ;
The Southern Cross gleam’d radiant forth,
And the Pole Star kept its place.
Then I knew it was the Angel
Who woke the hymning strain
That at our dear Redeemer’s birth
Peal'd out o’er Bethlehem s plain ;
And still its heavenly key tone

Tfif. Dimka aSv tat Tim**.—The New York

ml l*vthart hr Forest, recently, allude* to the
‘ r wav m which every portion of the play
which could he construed as alluding in the most
distant manner to national politics, was seized
in on hv th* audience, while special parts pro
voked continuous hurts of applause. This was
the c with “Damon’s” passionate burst—capi
tal lv rendered by Forest—
and also with his fierce cry of sorrow—
‘•Oh ! ye God*! my country ! Oh! my counuy!”
We may also cite the rapturous plaudits which
succeeded to

lint were we to except all the passages which
struck on the key-note of popular feeling at the

and the very popular feeling which is so keenly
alive to politics makes this unnecessary, demand
ing briefer criticism, while it asks for lengthier
reports and leaders at the hands of the journalists.
tVe will consequently allude to one more passage
only as a purely histrionic excellence. This was
in the same see tie from which we have taken the

Important TO Farmers.— lt is to be hoped that
the farmers of Washington, in arranging their
crops for this year, will endeavor to cultivate
more corn than has been the custom for several
years past. Numbers of them are now, and have
been, buying corn at $1.25 per bushel, and pork
at 10 cents, while their cotton would not .sell at
HI. For some time past, we (individually) Lave
been using Western corn, which cost us one dol
Ur per bushel -twenty-live cents cheaper than
we could purchase it of our countrymen. Geor
gia can never be truly independent until she raises
her own corn and pork. Hut, cotton ! cotton!
im the cry, until we fear many of the poorer class
in onr State will actually suffer for bread. We
not.ic?* that those men who raise corn and pork
at least for home consumption—grow rich faster,
fife better, have healthier negroes, better stock,
have more money at all times, are much happier,
than those who devote their whole time and at
tention to the cultivation of cotton. How Is it
now V Those men who have corn and pork to
sell this year, have their neighbors at their mer
cy. They ask just such prices as may suit them,
and we have to buy, are compelled to buy or
starve ; and of the two evils, any reasonable man
would choose the former. We nave met up with
a lew men who say that they do not consider
corn worth more than a dollar per bushel, and
pork a price in proportion. Such men can very
soon dispose of all they have to spare, and get
ample pay for tm ir produce ; for the good opin
ion they gain by their generous conduct, and the
approval of their own conscience is beyond price.
However, we would not be uuderatood as con
demning those who ask only the market price for
what they have to sell, for no one cun conscien
tiously ask his neighbor to take less.
Hut what we want to impress upon the minds
of our countrymen is, the great necessity for them
to plant more corn. Don’t calculate so close. If
you do make a few bushels more than it will take
to supply you, it will be no incumbrance upon
your hands. No trouble to sell corn in Washing
ton or the surrounding counties. Try it one year,
and see if you do not find that you are in a more
prosperous condition, and a great deal happier
than when you had to stint your mules and every
thing else around you, for fear you would have to
buy corn and pork. Why, there is a great deal of
pleasure to be experienced in looking at large
cribs of corn, fat hogs, fat mules aud at the same
time know’ that it was all the product of your own
farm. —Central (leo£jinn.
A Country Susie,!* Ride. —The following graph

exchange uucredited; but'whoever the author
may he, we are confident “he has been there and
spent the evening:” *
“What pleasure in a night sleigh ride ! Good
gracious ! Six steaming, spanking horses and a
driver as furry as a polar bear, his nose just visi
ble above the dasher. Two or three dozen girls
and hoys, muffed to their eyes, stowed away with
the hot bricks under the buffaloes. The amicable
tight of pairs of lovers for the coveted ‘hack seat’
woe re are no curious eyes to overlook the young
man who, tying his lady love’s tippet uuder her
chin, ties his heart in with it; or tucking the buffa
lo robe closer about her shoulders, forgets to re
move his arm after the operation.
“What pleasure, with the warm blood tingling
in cheeks beneath eyes that Hash like diamonds;
what pleasure, when snow-powdered trees, fences,
and houses fly past like magic to the merry sounds
of musical hells—spelt with and without an e.—
What pleasure, when the country inn is reached,
whore vour supper was bespoke the day before,
and rolling out of your manifold wrappers, you
lift to your lids foaming glasses of hot mulled wine.
What pleasure, when we gather round the table,
laughing at each other’s rosy facec, and discuss
oysters and fowl, and more ‘mulled wine,’ till

Advice from Harry, in saddling a horse I
proceed thus: 1 first show him the saddle. If
you pull him about or blind his eyes he thinks
something is wrong, ami of course resists. Hut
accustom him to the saddle by placing it on and
off several times, and all is right. In mounting;
too, gentlemen go wrong, as they do about almost
everything—| laughter J—about a horse. They
bear their weight on the foot in the stirrup and
try to climb up, so that the horse is like a tiy on a
pane of glass—his weight on one side. Mr. Karey
thou proceeded to illustrate his method of mount
ing—.standing close to the horse and bearing his
weight on the horse’s shoulder. Now, a horse
has great power in milliug his head down, but lit
tle when it is pulled to one-side. This shows you
how to stop a horse when he runs away. If you
make a dead pull it is like a man trying to lift
himself over a fence by his boot straps. Hut if you
turn him round ami round (illustrating) he is
powerless.
If a horse jibs with you in the street, and re
fuses to go on, don't attempt to spur him; turu
him round and round. He would rather go on
than keep tvrniug any time. You remember the
mule who used to go through a brook to lighten
bis load of salt, which dissolved in the water.
His master cured him by loading him with sail 1,
which the water made heavier. No beatiugcould
have accomplished such a reformation. Mr.
Karey then took a drum, showed it to the horse,
explaining that horses only feared what they did
not understand, as bovs feared false-faces in the I
dark, unless they know them to be pasteboard ;
ami then, rattling the drum over the nervous-pul
ler. concluded this part of his lecture amid hearty I
applause. fiuKy’s lecture.
Little Children’s Dresses. —Staled Arms czW
—A distinguished physician who died some
vears since, iu Paris, declared; “I believe, that |
during the twenty-six years I have practiced uiy !
profession in this city, tvreuty thousand childien |
nave been carried to the cemeteries, a sacrifice j
to the absurd custom of exposiug their arms nu
ked.”
I have often thought, if a mother were anxious
to show the soft, white skin of her baby, and
would cut out a round hole in the little thing's
dross just over the heart and then carry it about
for observation by the company, it would do very
little harm. But to expose the baby’s arms,
members so far removed from the heart, and with
such feeble circulation at best, is a most perni
cious practice.
Put the bulb of a thermometer to a baby’s
month, the mercury rises to tH) deg. Now, carry
the same bulb to its little hand. If the arms be
bare and the evening cool, the mercury will sink
to 40 deg. Os course all the bl#od which flows
through these arms aud hands must fall from 20
to 40 deg. below the temperature of the heart.—
Need 1 say that when these cold currents of blood
flow’ back into the chest, the child’s geueral vi
tality must be more or less compromised ? Aud,
need 1 add. that we ought not to be surprised at
its frequently recurring affections of the lungs,
throat and stomach !
I have seen more than one child with habitual
cough and hoarseness, or choking with mucus,
entirely, permanently relieved by simply keeping
its arms and hands warm. Every observing ana
progressive physician has daily opportunities, to
witness the same simple cure.
The Hon. RoWrt E. Scott, of Virginia, in a let

the slaveholding States exposed, defenceless, to
the Federal power; and equally opposed to any
form of secession which would leave the present
Federal Government installed at Washington.*’
Gallantry. —Mr. David Chadwick, on perceiv

Second Sight. —An American, Dr. 8. V. Blv, is
astounding the Parisians by his power of reading
any letter or other writing enclosed iu any num- j
ber of seated envelopes. The Doctor, on receiv- I
ing a packet containing the writing he is to read, !
is seized with a convulsive shudder, turns up the
whiles of his eyes, becomes e&taleptically rigid j
aud—reads the hidden writing to the stupefaction !
of the most incredulous. He bids fair to succeed
to the throne left vacant by Hie retirement of Mr. •
Home. He was in Newport last summer, where j
he made quite a sensation.
Tough.—A man in New Haven bought a goose

Running Sketch of Remark* In Conven
tion Jut Prerlon* to Adoption of Or
dinance of Seeemlon.
Friday, Jan. 11,1931.
Mr. Jemison, of Tuscaloosa, said he would Tote
against the Ordinance of Secesaioo, but he had ;
told hie people before he came there that be would j
sustain the action of the majority of the Conven- ;
tion ; and be would go to tnem and ask them to
ratify the solemn question decided by the Con- •
re .Mr o l)ar(ran, of Mobile, briefly advocated the j
adoption of the Ordinance of Secession; and said ,
be had lonz ago reflected that he must either join I
the Abolitionists in their unholy emsade against j
slavery or advocate the disunion of the Osvern- j
ment ol the United SUtes. He preferred the Ist
ter course, and would stand by the interests and
honor of bis State. ... .. tL , ,
Judge Poser, of Lauderdale, Raid that be had
thought that tfce Ordinance of Secession ought to
be referred back to the people for ratification or
rejection. He knew that the Ordinance would
now pass, and he was not disposed to make any
j factious apposition He said that, on yesterday,
he and some others with whom he acted, when
they gazed on the setting sun, they reflected that
it was the last time they should see it set upon
Alabama as a State of the Union, and they gazed
upon it with feelings of sadness. Judge V. allud
ed to the feelings of sadness that possessed him
when, on yesterday, he reflected that the flag of
the Union floated over him for the last time.
He said that, bat for the wisdom, discretion and
spirit of conciliation that had been exhibited by
the friends of secession on this floor, he and some
others would have bolted from this Convention
andjgone home, and resisted their action ; but they
would stav here, and after the Union had been
dissolved, they would help to build up & new one
to preserve and perpetuate our institutions and
liberties. , , „
Without being committed wholly to the previ
vious action of the State on the question ot seces-
I ion, they would, as a duty to their State, remain
here and’ act with the Convention, and labor for
! the best interests and honor of Alabama. He de*
sired her people to be united, and he believed tha
! the whole State would sustain the action of the
Convention. Mr. P.’s remarks were listened to
with profound attention.
I Judge Jones, of Lauderdale, said he did not
wish to delay the action of the Convention, and
proceeded to defend his constituents from the
charge of being submissionists. Such a charge
was wholly untrue. There was not one gubmis
sionist in bis connty. i sis people thought the
time had not yet arrived to dissolve the Union,
but they only differed from the people of South
Alabama as to the time and remedy. On the issue
of resistance to Hlack Republican rule there was
no difference. When Alabama had acted the peo
ple of the whole State would be a unit, and they
would sustain that action. A son of Alabama, he
might differ as to the policy of secession at the
time; but when be saw the flag of free, sovereign
and independent Alabama waving above him, for
one, he should not hesitate to take any responsi
bility that might be incurred by standing uuder it.
[Applause.] lie said that, although he and his
people were opposed to immediate secession, yet
be had a son sixteen )’ears old training in one of
the military companies to fight the battles of his
State, and his mother said that when he went
forth to battle, his father must go too, and he said
he would do it.
Judge Inzer, of St. Clair, said he was pledged
to vote against immediate separate State seces
sion, and he could not vote for the Ordinance and
resolutions ; but he would take great pleasure in
signing the Ordinance of Secession. His people,
he knew, would ratify it, and Alabama would go
on in her great march to independence and pros
perity,
Juclge W. R. Smith, of Tuscaloosa, said that in
the late canvass for the election of delegates in
his county, he had taken the position that lie
would sustain the action of the Convention what
ever it might be. Although opposed to secession,
be would stand by and sustain the actiort of Ala
bama for weal or woe. Her destiny was his des
tiny, and he would defend the honor and inde
pendence of Alabama.
Mr. Green, of Conecuh, said he would vote
against the Ordinance, hut would sustain the ac
tion of the Convention. His people would ratify
and fully endorse it, aMt. G. spoke feelingly, aud
said he hoped the people of Alabama would be a
unit.
l)r. A. Kimball, of Tallapoosa, in the course of
bis remarks, said, the people of Alabama should
now be united as one man, and should sustain
the action of the Convention. He would make
no factious opposition to the passage of the Or
dinance of Secession. We had a foe to contend
against without and there should be no dissensions
within the State.
Mr. N. D. Johnson, of Talladega, said his dele
gation occupied a peculiar position. Their con
stituents were united in favor cf resistance to
abolition rule, at all hazards. If they could not have
their plan of resistance adopted, they would as
good citizens, sustain the action of the Conven
tion. The delegation from Talladega would vote
for the Ordinance of secession and the resolu
tions. *They brought to this conclusion
not by any desire to acauire popularity ; but he
knew it was right, and the people of his county
would sustaiu and endorse it. The action of the
Convention would meet the approbation of the
people of Alabama; and, as he trusted, would re
dound to the honor and prosperity of the whole
State. rAppluuse.l
Dr. Watkins, of Franklin said he would sustain
the action of the Convention, and with all that he
bad and all that he was he would defend it. He
would urge his people to sustain the action of the
Convention.
Mr. Steele, of Franklin, srid he would stand
with the bravest and truest of Alabama’s sons in
support of the uction of the Convention, and in
defense of the honor and independence ot Ala
bama. He spoke warmly, like a brave aud hon
orable man.
Rev. A. Crumpler, of Coosa county, said, in
substance, that he and his colleagues were elected
on the co-operation ticket, aud had acted aud vo
ted with tjie co operation party on every measure
before Convention, lie now felt it to be his duty,
with the facts before him, to vote lor the Ordi
nance of Secession and the resolutions. His col
leagues, Col. Tayler and Maj. Leonard, would
cheerfully vote with him. We pledge ourselves
to do all in our powor to induce our constituents
to sustain and fully sanction the action of the
Convention, believing now that Secession is the
only proper and effectual mode ot resistance. Our
first plan being defeated, we feel bound to vote
for prompt and immediate secession—that being
the only etVectual plan now left us by which to
preserve our rights, our honor, equality and our
liberties. Let Alabamians all now unite and ral
ly, as one people, around the standard of free and
independent Alabama, and all will be well. [Ap
plause.]
Tile lroiiect Before Hr
Ever since we came to the conclusion, last Fall,
that Lincoln would be elected President, we have
believed that disunion would be the consequence,
and that civil war would follow on the heel of
disunion. Not that civil war is a necessary cou
sequence of disuuion, if men were disposed to
reason calmly and act consistently. But we knew
that the prejudices, and the bitter feelings of the
Hlack Kcpublicas, towards Southern institutions
would never permit them to retract anv esseutial
point of their creed, or change their conduct, even
to save the country from civil war. Whilst the
black Republicans have the ascendancy in tho
Northern States, there is no reasonadle hope of
peace. It is then our duty to look these facts in
the face and prepare for war. Whenever the con
servative people of the North, who are willing to
mind their own business and let others alone, will
arise in their might and hurl from power those
who have long disturbed the tranquility of the
whole country, then they, and we, can have peace,
but not until then. lu meeting the responsibil
ities of the impending crisis, we shall all have to
make many sacrifices. We shall have to give up
many things to which we have bccomo accustom
ed, and which custom has made us believe are uc
cessary ; but we shall soon find we can live with
out them, and in many cases this discipline will
do us good. Luxury and extravagauce, where fast
becoming with us National evils and National
sins ; perhaps a civil war may cure these great na*
tional evils.
We hope the planters in all the Southern States
will turn their attention to the raising of provis
ions, and to such domestic manufactures as they
cun carry on at home. We must as a people learn
to live principally upou the productions and re
sources of our own country. If we are plunged
into a civil war, as it now’ seems probable, Com
merce will be very much derangea, and the price
of cotton uncertain. It will therefore be the part
of prudence as well as patriotism for planters to
turu their attention principally to raising provis
ions, which are sure to command a good price If
our political troubles should coutinue long, man
ufactories will undoubtedly soon spring up iu our
midst, which will consume a considerable portion
of the cotton, and save a large amount of money
now sent abroad to purchase goods. A brave and
enterprising people like ours, will soon learn to
accommodate themselves to the circumstances
with which they are surrounded. We wish it was
iu our power to give our readers a brighter pic
ture of the future, bnt we sincereely believe a dark
and threatening cloud is rising iu the political
horizon, and we feel that it is our duty to warn
them of the approaching storm, that it may not
come upou them unprepared.— Federal Union.
j Message, op the Governor ok Indiana—Gov.
| Ilammoud’s Message relates mainly to the state
lof affairs. He says the strength of the Federal
, Government rest# in the affection of the people of
the several States, and is one of affection, not of
force. An alienation of the affection of the North
and South exists, attributable to tbe agitation of
the slavery question at the North, which agitation
has been materially intensified by the zea.ous
efforts of a elau of political teachers” belonging to
the ministry. This has produced ultraism at the
South, resulting in the division of the country
into sectional parties. Against these ultraisms
of the North aud South, it is the duty of the con
servative element of the whole country to inter
pose. This must be done, or disunion ia inevita
ble. The North has as much interest in the
South, in the w elfare and prosperity of the South,
as our Southern brethren. The Constitution de
mand that fugitive slaves be returned ; common
honesty requires that thev seould have full and
equal rights in all the territories. The future
condition of the Territories, so far as the exten
sion of slavery is concerned, will be ultimately
determined by natural laws, climate, soil, produc
tions, Ac. The election of Mr. Lincoln has caused
the South to believe there is no longer any safetv
for them or their property in the Union, nor the
slaveholding States. There can onlv be perma
nent peace between the sections when free States
are ready to stop the discussion of the abstract
question of morals connected with this subject,
and ? ook upon it only as a political question.—
What is most needed is the restoration of kindly
feeling. Then we may hope an honest and faith
ful discharge of all the constitutional obligations
towards each other will result in healing the pre
sent breach. He points with pride to the fact
that Indiana as a State hitherto nas fullv kept the
bond ot Union with her sister Stctes. lier record

Carmpoadßoee between See. Thompson
and President Buchanan.
The following is the correspondence which
passed between President Buchanan and Secre
tary Thompson, on the resignation of the latter: ;
Washington, Jan. 8, 1861. j
Sib —lt is with extreme regret I have just 1
J learned that additialal troops have been ordered j
! to Charleston. This subject has been frequently :
. discussed in Cabinet Council; and when on Mon
day night, 31st of December ultimo, tbe orders for j
j reinforcements to Fort Snmter were countermand- j
j ed, I distinctly understood from yon that no order ;
of the kind would be made without being previ- !
l ously considered and decided in Cabinet. It is j
I true that on Wednesday, January 2d, this subject j
. was again discussed in Cabinet, bnt certainly no ;
conclusion was reached, and the War Department
was not justified in ordering reinforcements with
out something more than was then said. I learn,
however, this morning, for the first time, that the |
steamer Star of the West sailed from New York ]
last Saturday night with two hundred and fifty
men, under Lieutenant Bartlett, bound for Fort
Sumter. Under ihese circumstances I feel my
self boand to resign my commission, as one of
your constitutional advisers, into vour hands.
With high respect, your ob’t serv’t,
J. Thompson.
His Excellency, James Buchanan,
President of the United States.
Washington, Jan. 0,1861.
Sir : I have received and accepted your resig
nation, on yesterday, of the office of Secretary of
the Interior.
On Monday evening, Slst December, 1860,1 sus
pended the orders which had been issued by the
War and Nary Departments, to send the Brooklyn
with reinforcements to Fort Sumter. Os this I
informed you on the same evening. I stated to
you my reason for this suspension, which you
knew, from its nature, would be speedily removed.
In consequence of your request, nowever, I pro
mised that these orders should not be renewed
“without being previously considered and decided
in Cabinet.” This promise was faithfully observ
ed on my part. In order to carry it into effect, I
called a special Cabinet meeting on Wednesday,
2d January, 1861, in which the question of send
ing reinforcements to Fort Sumter was amply dis
cussed, both yourself and others. The decided
majority of opinion was against you. At this mo
ment the answer of the South Carolina “Com
missioners” to my communication to them of 31st
Decembor was received and read. It produced
much indignation among the members of the
Cabinet* After a further brief conversation I
employed the following language : “ It is now all
over, and reinforcements must be sent.” Judge
Black said, at the moment of my decision, that
after this letter the Cabinet would be unanimous,
and I heard no dissenting voice. Indeed, the
spirit and tone of the letter left no doubt on my
mind that Fort Sumter would be immediately at
tacked, and hence the necessity of sending rein
forcements there without delay.
Whilst you admit “that on Wednesday, Janua
ry 2d, this subject was again discussed in Cabinet,
you sav, “but certuinly no conclusion was reach
ed, and tbe War Department was not justified in
ordering reinforceineuts without something more
than was then said.” You are certainly mistak
en in alleging that “no conclusion was reached.”
In tihs your recollection is entirely different from
that of vour four o dest colleagues in the Cabinet.
Indeed, my language was so unmistakable that
the Secretaries of War and the Navy proceeded
to act upon it without anv further intercourse
with myself than what you heard, or might have
heard me say. Yon had been so emphatic in op
posing these reinfoicements that 1 tnought you
would resign in consequence of my decision. I
deeply regret that you have been mistaken in point
of fact, though I firmly believe honestly mistaken.
Still it is certain you have not the less been mis
taken. Yours, very respectfully,

Disobedience to Parents. —Young man, is tha
your father? llow could you make use of language
so disrespectful ? You don’t care ! You will
talk as you please, no matter who hears you ! If
we were in want of a clerk, and there was not,
another voung mau within ten hundred miles that
we could engage, we would not consent to taka
you. We should be afraid to trust a boy who is
disobedient to his parents, who shows so little re
spect for his father. A boy who was so saucy to
his parents we never knew to turn out well. He
respects nobody. If your father is in the wrong,
and you are certain of it, that is no excuse for
such language No one will respect you for it.
Everybody will condemn you. A parent should
be treated with respect by his children, no matter
how poor he may be, or how large his family may
have grown.
There is too little respect paid to parental author
ity at the present day. It is grievous to go into
many families, and hear the language daily used
by the children. “I will,” “I won’t,” “I don’t
care,” “it’s none of your business; I nm old
enough to know what is right,” and the like ex
pressions are painfully common. Large boys and
grown up girls even, do not hesitate to give their
mothers the lie, and break away from their ex
press commands.
There is truth as well as rhyme in a couplet by
John Randolph :
M Whoever raakwi hl parent’* heart to bleed,
flkftll hare a child that will rerenge the deed.”
One thing is certain-an undutiful sou dis
obedient daughter cannot long prosper. For a
season they may appear well to the eye of a
stranger, but their self-will and stubbornness are
soon discovered, and they are despised. A child
who disobeys his parents will not hesitate to
abuse anybody. Neither age or talents receive
respect from him.
Cotton Bales against Cannon.— -An esteemed
correspondent addresses us a note in relation to
the use ot cotton bales, as a breastwork for bat
teries. He called our attention to that portion of
Barton’s Life of Jackson, where we are told that
the brilliant idea of tho engineer’s French intel
lect did not stand the test of service. Wc quote
the passage to which our correspondent refers :
“The first cannonade.” says Mr. Burton,knocked
the cotton bales about 111 a manner that made the
General more eager to get rid of them than he
had been to use them. Some of the bales, too,
caught, fire, and made a most intolerable and per
sistent smoke, so that, days before the final con
flict, every pound of cotton was removed from the
line.”
The biographer goes on to say that “a similar
error was made by the enemy, who, supposing
that sugar would offer resistance to cannon balls
equal to sand, employed hogshead* of sugar in
the formation of their batteries. Tho tirst ball
that knocked a hogshead to pieces and kept on its
destructive way unchecked, convinced them that
sugar and sand, though often found together, have
little in common.” —Charleston Courier.
Not Bad.— Apropos of fast day, as well as of
recent occurrences at Washington, some irreve
rent wag gets off the following, in a Northern
journal :
The form of prayer for the members of the
Cabinet, on Fast day, begins with the words :
“ Let us prey.”
The Boot on tiib Right Foot at Last.— The
last number of Bunch has an excellent picture
upon the present condition of Italian affairs, under
the above caption. Victor Emanuel is represent
ed, sitting on,a chair, endevoring to pull on a boot,
which represents “Italy.” He seems to be exer
ting himself to the utmost to get it on, but it ap
pears to be tight at one spot near the heel. Gar
ibaldi is represented, on his kucc. at his feet, in
the dress of a shoemaker. lie is endeavoring to
assist him to put the boot on, and is made to say
to him: “If it don’t go on easy, sir, try a little
more powder.”
Blowing Out Gas.—E. M. Corder, ‘rom Vir
ginia, on retiring to bed at the Clarendon House,
in Washington, a few nights ago, instead of turn
lug off the gas, blew it out.—The next morning he
was found apparently lifeless from the effects o
..the gas, but by great exertion he was, after the
lapse of several hours, resuscitated, and is now re
covering.
Message ok the Governor or New Jersey.—
Gov. Olden, of New Jersey, in his aunual message,
opposes secession, bnt advocates concession and
compromise; urges the repeal of all laws of the
State, if such there be, which are unjust to the
South ; calls upon Congress to agree upon some
plan of adjustment of the national troubles, and
in case of failure, urges the New Jersey Legisla
ture to invite all tho States to meet in national
convention to concert measures whereby the
Union may be saved.
Forts at tits Tortugas and Key West.—
These two forts command the Gulf. Fort Taylor
has sixty heavy guns mounted, and is in a good
condition of defence ; 100 men can hold it against
5000 for a tune. Fort Jefferson, at tho Tortu
gas, has no guns mounted.
Senator Latham’s declaration that California
would remain with the Union of the North and
West is generally considered by the California
newspapers as undoubtedly a correct representa
tion of tbe sentiments of “a vast majority of the
people of thatStato.
Resolutions introduced into the Pennsylvania
Legislature by Senator Welsh proposing to repeal
the obnoxious provisions of the act of 1547, and
the penal code, were voted down on Thursday
last, all the Republicans voting against them.
From Gen. Jackson's inflexibility, his may be
called an iron administration. In looking around
for something by which to characterise itself, the
present Administration seems more inclined to
steal than to anything else.— Nashville Patriot.
Death.—We regret to learn that the Hon. John
T. Duncan, late Senator from Chattahoochee, died
last week at his residence after a very short ill
ness. He passed through our city on his return
home and appeared in his usual health and spirits.
His loss will be severely felt in the community in
which he has lived for many years, by the poor,
who always looked toward him in their hour of
adversity.’ —Macon Telegraph, 4 th.
Mori Arms for Georgia. —The steamer Star of
the South, which arrived here Sunday last,
brought another coasignment of arms and muni
tions of war for the State, to the amount of some
$75,000. We hear that the arms consist of rifles
and revolvers, of New England manufacture and
the most approved patterns. —Savannah Republi
can, 15/4.
Charleston and New York Steamseips. —We
learn that in consequence of the obstructions in
Charleston harbor, the steamers formerly plying
between that port and New York will hereatter
come to Savannah, and have their cargoes trans
ported to Charleston, over the Charleston A Sa
vannah Railroad. — Savannah Republi&in 15/A.
Not very Particvlar. —We yesterday heard,
says the Boston Courier, a couple of politicians
sighing over the affairs of the nation. “I wish,
said one of them, “Old Jackson was in old Bu
chanan’s place.” “I ain’t so particular about
that,” retorted the other, “I’d be satisfied if old
Buchanan was in old Jackson's place.”
Diath or a DArGHTia or “the Revolution.”—
Mrs. Catharine Hager, one of the oldest retident
ers of Nashville, and relict of a veteran of the
American Revolution, died in that city Sunday
night at the advanced age of 106 years.
Real Estate at Washington. —The political
troubles of the times, and the danger that at some
future time, if not now, the Union may be divided
and Washington cease to be the capital,has great
ly depressed the value of real estate in that city.
One of the largest real estate holders has gone in
sane over the troubles, and been carried to the
Insane Asylum. He was formerly a resident of
Newburyport. but removed to Washington many
vears ago, where he had amassed a large fortune
by speculation in real estate, and the impending
crisis has caused his ruin.
Artesian Springs Buildings Entirely Destroy
ed!—We learn from Mr. Wm. R. Luckett that a
fire occurred at the Artesian Springs, on Sunday
morning, the 6th inst., at 2 o’clock, by which the
Hotel buildings, the family residence,’ and all the
buildings except the grocery and tenpin alleys,
were totally consumed. The roof of one of the
houses, known as the pantry or ironing room,
and which, at the time, was occupied by a family
of negroes, was first discovered to be in flames,
and the fire spread so rapidly that nothing could
be saved except some of the furniture, in a very
damaged condition, from the dwelling house.— j
The cause of the fire is supposed to be accidental. ’
The loss is a very heavy one, amounting, we
suppose, to be not’ less than $30,000. W? are j
glad to learn that Mr. Luckett was insured in se- ;
veral offices, through their agencies here and in
Jackson, to the amount of $20,000. — Cantor ; j
(JVms.) Citizen, 2d.
Message from the Acttxg-Goverxgr of Kan
sas.—The Message of acting-Governor Beck, to
the Territorial Legislature, si mainlv devoted to
local affairs. In regard to national affairs, he j
thinks the present distracted state of the country
is owing to the aggressive policy of the Republi- i
cans, and he urges conciliation for the Union.
But, if a dissolution takes place, he trusts that j
Kansas will decline indentification with either
branch of the Union, but establish a separate and .
independent government.

Alabama State Convention.
Saturday, Jan. 12, 1861.—The Convention in
secret session during the whole of the forenoon.
It met at 4 P. M., and went into open session,
! when
] Gen. J. W. A. Sanford, Commissioner from the ,
State of Georgia, was introduced and explained •
i briefly the object of his mission. He said that
! Georgia had prepared beforehand to defend hcr-
I self when her secession was consummated. She
j could have in the field twentv thousand meu
j within a short space of time. In response to an
’ inquirv from Mr. Posey, he explained the condi
| tion of the seaport of Georgia, Savannah,
i Mr. Dargan read an Ordinance authorizing the
] Governor to raise one million of dollars for state
purposes, bv the issuance of State Bonds, to run
| not less than five nor more than twenty years;
and the Bonds not to be sold at a discount.
Mr. Dargan said that there was a necessity to
I raise money. The people would see that such ne
cessity existed, and their patriotism would be
equal to the occasion. If Alabama lives, the
bonds would be good ; if Alabama dies, of course
our property which will be pledged for the bonds
will also die. He wished the people of Alabama
to take the bonds, but people of other States
should also have the privilege. In South Alabama
he knew there was a great deal of money that was
lying Idle in the hands of trustees and others
which here would find a source of sound invest
ment. He asked the reference of the ordinance to
the Committee on Finance.
Mr. Earnest moved the appointment of addition
al standing committees, namely : on Judiciary
and Internal affairs, which was carried.

A dispatch to the Charleston Courier dated New
York, Jan. 16th, says :
The Abolition Tribune of this morning contain
ed a violent article, urging the State authorities
to seize the steamship Columbia, in order to pre-.
vent her taking out provisions, arms and muni
tions of war for Charleston. The people of New
York for once-showed their good sense, and 11,1
hostile attempt was made to prevent her leaving.
The Columbia sailed at her usual hour.
There was intense excitement throughout the
city in consequence cf the inflamatory article
of the Tribune : but it subsided when it was as
certained that the steamer wasnot interfered with
The Charge op Judge Smalley—Wn at Con
stitutes Treason. —The most extraordinary sen
sation of these days of sensation is the charge
from Judge Smalley, in the U. S. District Court,
at New York, on Mouday, upon the law of trea
son—extraordinary, because if his assumption and
rulings are correct, there are thousands and thous
ands of traitors walking the streets, not only in
New York but elsewhere, who may as well pre
pare their jugulars for the halter.
The judge set out with declaring that the South
Carolinians, and the people of all other seceding
States, are traitors. On that point lie has no
manner ot doubt, although he admits that the
Southern States have jnst cause to complain of
Northern legislation, which is clearly unconstitu
tional. He then defines what treason is. He says
the crime is not confined to giving aid and com
fort to the enemy by furnishing them with arms
and munitions of war, but, (quoting Chief Justice
Marshall,) if a body of men be actually assembled
for the purpose of effecting by force a treasonable
purpose, all those who perform any part, howev
er minute, or however remote from the sccue of
action, are to be considered as traitors. Conse
quently, his Honor goes on tojjsay, all who coun
tenance them, of give them aid and coinfort,
whether it be in South Carolina or in New York,
are guilty of treason, and the grand jury are ac
cordingly instructed to proceed against them,
upon proper evidence as such.
This ruling inculpates several well known mer
cantile establishments of New York city, who have
been, for somo time past, quite freely supplying
munitions of war as merchandise to Charleston,
Savannah, Pensacola, Mobile and Galveston ac
count. It also incriminates most of the manufac
turers of firearms ; and a prominent shipping
house of New York, who sold to a Louisiana
party, as late as Saturday last, a couple of fine
clipper barks, which will probably figure as the
flag ships in the Gulf of Mexico, of the Southern
confederacy, in less than sixty days from date.
The Seceded States.—ls we are going to force
the seceded States back into the position they
lately occupied, let us see what the Federal Gov
ernment has to contend with. The States already
out are as follows :
Dec. 20.—South Carolina ordinance passed.
Jau. 9.—Mississippi ordinance passed.
Jan. 11. —Florida ordinance passed.
Jau. 11. —Alabama ordinance passed.
The population of these States, according to the
census of 1850, is thus stated :
Whites. Total.
South Carolina 274,563 668,507
Mississippi. 295,718 706,526
Florida 47,203 87,545
Alabama 426,514 771,623
1,043,998 2,134,201
The Government has arrayed against it, at the
present time, (making allowance for increase of
population in the last decade,) not less than 1,100,-
000 white inhabitants in the States named; and
this number may be doubled by new defections
within the next week or fortnight. To oppose
them the United States has an army not exceed
ing 1*2,000 men, a large part of whom are protect
ing the frontier against Indians. For additional
recruits, we must look to the counting-rooms and
workshops of the Northern States. Who wants
to enlist S—N. Y. Jour, of Com.
Cotton Moving. —On Tuesday last a number
of ships were cleared at New* Or leans for foreign
and domestic ports, having on freight 32,507 bales
of cotton. During the two preceding days 50,000
bales of the same great staple were sold, says the
Delta, at rates higher than have been commanded
for fifteen years, netting to the producers the
handsome sum of $2,700,000.
Forty-five hundred kegs of powder, worth about
#23,000, shipped from tlie East via New Orleans
to Baffin, Smith & Bois, of St. Louis, has been
seized in New Orleans by the Secessionists. The
correspondents of Messrs. L., S. A B. telegraph
ed the house at St. Louis, desiring the privilege
to sell it to the State for cash, otherwise fearing
they would not get anything for it.
Minority Report of the Committee of Thirty-
Three. —Messrs. Washburne, of Wisconsin, and
Tappan, of New Hampshire, of tbe Committee of
Thirty-three have signed the following as a mi
nority report :
Resolved, That the provisions of the Constitu
tion are ample far the preservation of the Union
and the protection of all the material interests of
the country. That it needs to be obeyed rather
than amended, and our extrication from our pres- ■
ent troubles is to be looked for in efforts to pre
serve and protect public property and enforce the
laws rather than in new guarantees for particular
interests, or compromises or concessions to un
reasonable demands.
South Carolina Declared Giiltt of Treason.
—Judge Smalley, of the United States Circuit 1
Court of New York, in hia| charge to the Grand
Jury, Saturday, declared South Carolina, by her
Secession Ordinance and subsequent act is, guilty
of high treason against the Federal Government.
Hissing National Airs.— Great excitement was
caused in the Academy of Muiic, Philadelphia, on
Saturday night, by a party ofmen who hissed du
ring the performance of the national airs, “Hail
Columbia” and “Yankee Doodle.” The men hiss
ing were summarily ejected and quiet restored.
Hinton Rowan Haper again attempted to de
liver his lecture on ‘The Two Svstems of Labor,”
at Clinton Hall, New York, on Monday evening,
but the trustees doted the hall ugainst’him. Quite
a large crowd assembled, and Colonel Titus, of
Kansas celebrity, vas arrested by the police.
Arkansas Convention Bill. —The Senators from
Arkansas have cceived despatches as to the
character of the action of the Legislature of that
State concemingsecession. It seems that there
are two measure pending, but the one which was
defeated in the Senate, while providing for the
election of deletes to a State convention, also
provides that tie sense of the people should be
taken at the tine of the election as to whether a
convention should be held or not. On account of
this inconsistmcy the bill was defeated.
Address tj the Catholics of St. Louis.—
Archbishop lenrick, of St. Louis, has issued a
brief addres* to the Roman Catholics of that city,
exhorting Uem in the present disturbed state of
the public mnd to avoid all occasions of public
exei tement to obey the'laws, to respect the rights
of all citizeQS, and to keep away, as much as pos
sible, from all assemblages where the indiscretion
of a word, or tbe impetuosity of a momentary pas
sion, might endanger public tranquility.

Washington News.
Special Despatch to the Charleston Courier.
Washington, Jan. 15. —The Republicans in the
Senate to-day refused to consider the compromise
resolutions of Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, by a
majority of seven. There is great excitement
among ’ the Southern conservatives in conse
i quence. Many declare that this action of the Re
j publicans has banished now and forever all hope
of compromise. Still, hopes are entertained 01 a
reconsideration to-morrow. There is no blinking j
the fact, however, that the vote to-day of the Re
publicans indicates a determination on their part
to refuse all propositions looking to a compromise,
that would be satisfactory even to the border
slave States.
Mr. Holt remains at the head of the War De
partment. There is scarcely any probability of
nis removal-
Mr. Greenwood, the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, will be appointed Secretary of the Inte
rior.
General Scott continues his military prepara
tions, and Washington has more the .appearance
of a martial camp than a great metropolis.
Mr. Seward’s speech is still the theme of conver
sation. Even Mr. Crittenden,conservative as he is,
declares that Seward offers no proposition worthy
of being entertained, but does not wholly close
the door against conciliation.
Washington, Jan. 15—10 o’clock, P M.—The
President’s first levee was thinly attended to
night. He received but few congratulations. His
visitors principally were those who heretofore have
been his bitterest opponents. Mr. Buchanan will
scarcely have need of the expression, “save me
my from friends.”
Col. I. W. Hayne, Commissioner from South
Carolina, called upon the President precisely at 4
o’clock this afternoon, and had a very pleasant
personal interview with Mr. Buchanan, which
lasted about twenty minutes. The President de
clined to receive any official communication from
him, or entertain any verbal suggestion or propo
sition. The inference from this is, that the Ad
ministration iutends to transact no business what
ever with any one but the Federal authorities
with reference to affairs at Charleston.
Two or three Cabinet sessions have already
been held, but no positive decision has yet been
arrived at. Outside of government circles it is
considered a fixed fact that Major Anderson will
be reinforced, and that this has been agreed upon.
It is generally believed here that the demand of
the South Carolina authorities, could the Com
missioner get an opportunity to make it known,
is that the fortifications of the Charleston harbor
shall be restored to their original status ; when
all hostilities shall cease, with the understanding
that the State troopsshall be promptly withdrawn
from Castle Pinckney, Fort Moultrie and Fort
Johnson, and Anderson would then go back to
Moultrie.
Neither Col. Hayne nor Lieut. Hall have thus
far deemed the result of their mission definite
enough to send one word to their respective su
periors.
The Cabinet is u unit against interfering with
Major Anderson in any manner.
The Committee ou Commerce of the House will
not present a report on Mr. McKean’s bill, re
pealing the Act making South Carolina ports
ports of entry, as it throws impediments in the
way to the passage of such a bill.
[l Special Dispatch to the Mercury .]
Washington, January 15.—1 tis currently ru
mored iu reliable circles to-day that the Adminis
tration will withdraw the troops from Forts Sum
ter and Pickens before the close of the present
week.
A dispatch hasjust been received from Govern
or Ellis, of North Carolina, saying that the State
troops have been ordered to evacuate Fort Cass
well, and that it would be again placed in the
bands of the Federal authorities.
The Cabinet is now in session, discussing the
proposed return to the peace policy. Senator
Bigler, of Pennsylvania, the President’s confiden
tial triend, predicts firmness on the part of the
Administration in future.
All the Northern Democratic Senators, except
Thompson and Douglas, justify the* secession
movement.
The Southern Senators will all withdraw, but
will not resign, in consequence of the embarrass
ment that would ensue m filling vacancies upon
the committees. No such vacancies now exist., as
tbe Senate does not recoguize the mere with
drawal.
W ashington, January 15—8, p. m.—Mr. llayne
has, as yet, had no communication with the Pre
sident. lie received the calls of frieuds all the
forenoon, and dines with Commodore Shubrick
this evening.
Mr. Gourdiu’s room was full of visitors to-night
anxiously inquiring about Charleston matters.
Col. Alden, late of the United States Army, is
here, and will tender his services to South Caro
lina.
The Navy Department received to-day the fol
lowing despatch from Flag Officer Armstrong at
Pensacola:
“Armed bodies of Florida and Alabama troops
appeared beloie the gate of the Navy Yardy *ster
day, and demanded possession. Having no n cans
to resist, 1 at once surrendered and hauled oewn
my flag. They (the State troops) are now iu jf s
session.”
Cant. Farran, the commandant at the Pensa
cola Navy Yard, has notified the Government of
his resignation. A private despatch to the Flori
da Senators to-day, says: “We repaired down to
Pensacola, captured Fort Barrancas and the Navy
Yard, set the officers at liberty on parole, aud are
now in full possession. The* move was in conse
quence of the occupancy of Fort Pickens by the
government troops.”
Ii is urged upon the Administration to follow
out the statu\quo ante helium policy. The impres
sion is growing more general that the withdrawal
of the Federal troops from Fort Sumter will take
place this week.
The Pensacola Navy Yard has #156,000 worth
of ordnance stores.
Special Dispatch to the Charleston Courier.
Washington, Jan. 16.—Information having
reached the Postoffice Department that tbe letters
and correspondence of Major Anderson had, by
order of the Governor of South Carolina, been
subjected to the surveillance of the Postmaster
and oilier authorities at Charleston, Mr. Holt ad
dressed a letter to Mr. Huger, musing inquiry
into the matter.
The Postmaster at Charleston replied, under
date of the 12th inst., thut when communication
between the city and Fort Sumter was first inter
rupted, and under the intense excitement that
prevailed, and in order to avoid collision with un
authorized parties, a distinction had been made,
by order of Gov. Pickens, in two instances, be
tween the official and private letters of Major
Anderson. Subsequently, however, this decision
of the Governor seems to have been reconsidered,
Mr. Huger says further that he now sends all
matter addressed to Major Anderson and the offi
cers and men in his command, under sealed cover;
that he continues so to do up to the present lime
of writing, whenever an opportunity occurs, and
that he does it without the surveillance of the
Postoflice or other authorities of Charleston.
Washington, January 16.—Lieut. Hall leaves
this city for Charleston to-night. lie bears or
ders from the War Department for Major Ander
son, commanding him to defend Fort Sumter und
protect all Government property. The Adminis
tration has concluded to send no reinforcements,
and the present status is to be maintained. Mat
ters are to be left just as they now stand.
Later.—Washington, January 16,10.30 P. M.—
Lieut. Hull was about to leave this afternoon for
Charleston, when he received a dispatch from
New York, informing him of the alarming illness
of a near relative, and he immediately departed
for that city, where he will remain a short time.
Washington, January 16, 4 P. M.—The Senate
has just given a quietus to the compromise reso
lutions of Mr. Crittenden. They were voted down
by a majority of two. Every Republican voted
against the compromise. Intense feeling was
manifested in consequence throughout the city.
Washington, Jan. 16, 10 p. m.—The entire New*
York delegation called upon the President to
night, and tendered him men and money to sup
port the Union intact, as indicated in the recent
resolutions adopted by the Committee ou Federal
Relations.
In the Virginia Legislature to day resolutions
were adopted to send Commissioners to all the
States of the Union, with reference to the present
difficulties, aud, in the meantime, conjuring the
seceding States and the Federal Government to
keep the peace. The intelligence was received
quite favorably here. Mr. Pryor left this city for
Richmond yesterday, and explained the matter
before the Committee to-day.
The Republican Senators, who defeated the
Crittenden resolutions to day, held a caucus to
night, and determined to move a reconsideration
of the vote to-morrow. The moment it was
known that the resolutions were defeated to day,
Senators Hunter aud Mason telegraphed the fact
immediately to the Virginia Legislature. Ths
news caused great commotion among the/Conser
vative members.
The Senate to-day, for the first time, filled the
vacancies in the Committees caused by the resig
nation of Senators Hammand and Chesnut, of
South Carolina.
Special Dispatch to the Charleston Courier.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The President decided
yesterday afternoon, and the Cabinet confirmed
his decision to-day, that the present status of the
forts shall be maintained. The President has pe
remptorily declined to receive Colonel Ilavne, or
recognize him in any official capacity. And, while
asserting that the Federal Government will not
pursue an aggressive policy, he declares that, un
der no circumstances, will Fort Sumter he yielded
up to the authorities of South Carolina. It is un
derstood that this is the exact purport of the in
structions given Lieutenant Talbot for Mrjor An
derson.
Lieutenant Talbot left this morning for Charles
ton. Colonel Hayne and Mr. Gourdin will leave
shortly.
The President has nominated Mr. Holt as Sec
retary of War. The Senate went into Executive
Session upon the nomination. Over an hour was
spent in very stormy debate upon the subject.
Mr. Benjamin, of Louisiana, and other Southern
Senators, opposed the confirmation, and bitterly
denounced the course of the Administration. At
one period of the debate, a personal collision ap
peared imminent between some of the Republican
and Democratic members. The Senate came to
no final action. It was found impossible to con
firm the nomination, because two-tbiads would
not sustain it.
The Senate Committee on Commerce held a
meeting to-day. Owing to the absence of Messrs.
Clay, of Alabama, and Toombs, of Georgia, Mr.
Bigler, of Pennsylvania, who was secondon the
Committee, beaame Chairman. Mclntyre’s nom
ination, as Collector of the port of Charleston, was
taken up. The casting vote was given by Mr.
Saulsbury, of Delaware, and the motion to lie on
the table, prevailed. Thus ends the matter.
[Special Dispatch to the. Mercury.]
Washington, January 17.—Havne baa com
pleted his communication, but will not present it
to the President to-day. I learn that bis views
have been much modified at the solicitation of
Southern men. The impression prevails here
that friendly relations will be restored between
Fort Sumter and Charleston, and bloodshed
avoided.
After confirmißg several unimportant Consular
nominations to-dav, tbe Senate took up the nomi
nation of Holt as Secretary of War. The motion
to refer the nomination to the Military Committee
was defeated bv a large majority. The session
was stormy. Mason, Slidell, apd others, de
nounced the President and Holt in violent terms.
It is also rumored that during the Executive ses
sion, Senators Benjamin and Wade came to blows.
There is considerable excitement among the
Black Republicans at a rumor which is rife here,
that the Cabiuet held a stormy session to-day, be
cause the President has resumed the peace policy,
in opposition to the whole Cabinet. The Repub
licans are denouncing him to-night.
A despatch has been received by the Alabama
delegation, from the Governor of that State, di
recting them to remain here for the present.
Mclntyre’s nomination is now considered to be
defeated*.
General Scott and Senator Toombs.—A well
known gentleman of New York who was present
at the dinner in Washington, at which the passage
between General Scott and Senator Toombs is re
ported by the correspondent of the Times to have
taken place assures us that there is not the least
foundation for th# report that the lie was given;
that there was any talk of personal responsibility,
or that anything contemplating personal violence
passed between them to justify the interpretation
put upon the scene by the reporter. There were
but eight persons present at table, and nothing
could nave ©ccured of which all were not cogniz
ant.
Major Earl Van Dorn, of the second regiment
of U. S. dragoons, has tendered his resignation
to the War Department, and offered his services
to the Governor of Mississippi. He was brevetted
i for gallant services at the battles of Cerro Gordo,
Cherubusco and Contreras.
MAINE ARMING.
ArcrsTA, Maine, Jan. 17. —A resolution is pend

full arming of tbe State.
MISCELLANEOUS. >
The Amalgamation of Languages.— There is a
growing tendency in this age to appropriate the
most expressive words of other languages, and
after a while to incorporate them into eur own ;
thus the word Cephalic, which is from the Greek,
signifying “ for the head,” is now becoming popu
larized in connection with Mr. Spalding’s great
Headache remedy, but it will soon be used in a
more general way, and the word Cephalic will be
come as common as Electrotype and many others
whose distinction as foreign words has been worn
away by common usage until they seem “ native
and to the manor born.”
’ardly Realized.
Hi ’ad ’n ’orrible ’eadachethis hafternoon, hand
hi stepped into the bapothecaries hand says hi to
the man, “Can you hease me of an’eadache ?”
“ Does it hache ’ard ?” says ’e. “ Hexceedingly,”
says hi, hand upon that ’e gave me a Cephalic Pill,
hand ’pon me ’onor it cured me so quick that hi
’ardly realized hi ’ad ’ad an ’eadache.
Headache is the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this
! light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended
j to give notice of disease which might otherwise
escape attention, till too late to be remedied ; and
its indications should never be neglected. Head
aches may be classified under two names, viz :
Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head
ache is exceedingly common ana is the precursor
of a great variety of diseases, among which arc
Apoplexy, Gout* Rheumatism and all febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
disease of the stomach constituting sic/c headache.
of hepatic disease constituting bilious headache , of
worms, constipation and other disorders of the
bowels, as well as renal and uterine affectious.
Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended
with Headaches; Amentia aud plethora are also
affections which frequently ’occasion Headache.
Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being
also usually distinguished by the name of nervous
headache , sometimes coming on suddenly in estate
of apparently souud health and prostrating at
once the mental and physical energies, and in
other instances it comes on slowly, neralded by
depression of spirits aud ascerbity of temper. In
most instances the pain is in the front of the head,
over one or both eyes, aud sometimes provoking
vomiting ; under this class may also oe named
Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found a sure aud safe
rpmedv, relieving the most acute pains in a few
minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the
disease of wind* Headache is the um riug index.
Bf'idget. —Missus wants you to send her a box
of Cephalic Glue—no, a bottle of Prepared Pills ;
but I’m thinking that’s not just it naither; but
perhaps ye’ll be afther knowing what it is. Ye
see she’s nigh dead aud gone with the Headache,
aud wants some more of that same as relaived her
before.
Druggist. —You must mean Spalding’s Cephalic
Pills. *
Bridget. —Och ! sure now and you’ve sed it;
here’s the quarther and give me the Pills unddon’t
be all day about it alther.
Constipation or Costiveness.
No one of the “ many ills that flesh is heir to”
is so prevalent, so little understood, and so much
neglected us Costiveness. Often originating in
carelessness or sedentary habits, it is regarded as
a slight disorder of too little cousequcuee to ex
cite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor
aud companion of many of the most fatal aud dan
gerous diseases, and unless early eradicated it
will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave.
Among the lighter evils of which Costiveness is
the usual attendant, ure Headache, Colic, Rheuma
tism, Foul Breath, IMles, and others ot like na
ture, while a long train of frightful diseases such
as Malignant Fevers, Abscesses, Dysentery, Diarr
hea, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis,
Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, Melancholy and In
sanity, first indicate their presence in the system
by this alarming symptom. Not unfrequently the
diseases named originate in Constipation, but take
an independent existence unless the cause is
eradicated in an early stage. From all these con
siderations it follows that the disorder should re
ceive immediate attention whenever it occurs,
and no person should neglect to get a box of Ce
phalic rills on the first appearance of the com
plaint, as their timely use will expel the insidious
approaches of disease aud destroy this dangerous
foe to human life.
A Real Blessing.
Physiciun. —Well, Mrs. Jones, how is that
Headache ?
Mrs. Jones. —Gone! Doctor; all gone. The pill
you sent cured me in just twenty minutes, and I
wish you would send more, so that I can have
them handy.
Physician. —You can get them at any Druggists.
Call for Cephalic Piljs, 1 find they never fail, and
I recommend them in all cases of Headache.
Mrs, Jones.— l shall send for. a box directl}', and
shall tell all my suflering friends, for they are a
real blessing.
Twenty Millions of Dollars Saved. —Mr.
Spalding has sold two millions of bottles of bis
celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated that
each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of
broken furniture, thus making an aggregate of
twenty millions of dollars re-claimed from total
loss by this invaluable invention. Having made
his Glue a household word, he now proposes to do
the world still greater service by curing all the
aching heads with his Cephalic Pills, ana if they
are as good as his Glue, Headaches will soon van
ish aw ay like snow in July.
\
’ Over Excitement, and the mental care and ,
anxiety incident to close attention to business or
study, are among the numerouscauses of Nervous
Headache. The disordered state of mind and
body incident to this distressing complaint is a
fatal blow to all enwrgy and ambition. Sufferers
by this disorder can always obtain speedy relief
from these distressing attacks by using one of the
Cephalic Pills whenever the symptoms appear. It
quiets the overtasked brain, and sooth the strain
ed and jarring nerves, and relaxes the tension of
the stomach which always accompanies and ag
gravates the disordered condition of the brain.
Fact worth Knowing. —Spalding’s Cephalic
Pills are a certain cure tor Sick Headache, Bilious
Headache, Nerveus Headache, Costiveuess and
General Debility.
*
(<hkat Discovert.- —Among the most important
of all the great medical discoveries of this age
may be considered the system of vaccination for
protection from the Small Pox, the Cephalic Pill
tor relief of Headache, and the use of Quinine for
the prevention of Fevers, either of which is a sure
specific, whose benefits will be experienced by
suffering humanity long after their discoverers
are forgotten.
Dm you ever have the Sick Headache ?
Do you remember the throbbing temples, the
fevered brow, the loathing and disgust at the
sight of food. How totally unfit you were for
pleasure, conversation or study. One of the Ce
phalic Pills would have relieved you from all the
suffering which you then experienced. For this
and other purposes you should always have a box
of them on hand to use as occasion requires.

Only Discovery
WORTHY OF ANY CONFIDENCE FOR
RESTORING
The Bold and Gray.
MANY, since the great. discovery of Prof. Wood, have at
tempted iiot only to imitate his Restorative, but profess
to have discovered something that would produce results iden
tical ; but they have all come ami gone, being carried away by
the wonderful results of Prof. Wood’s preparation, and have
been forced to leave the field to Its resistless sway. Head tne
following :
Hath, Ms.., April 18th, 1859.
Prof. O. J. Wood & <'o.—Gents: The letter 1 wrote you in
1566, concerning your valuable Hair Restorative, and which
you published in this vicinity and elsewhere, has given rise to
numerous inquiries touching the facts in the case. The inqui
ries are—tirst, is it a fact of my habitation and name, as stated
in the communication ; second. Is it true of all contained the>e
in ; third, does my hair still continue to he in good order ana
of natural color ? To all 1 can and do answer, invariably yes.
Mv hair Is even better than in any stage of my life, for 4w years
past—more soft, thrifty and better colored ; the same is true of
my whiskers, and the only cause why it is not generally true,
is that the substauce is washed oft” by frequent ablution of the
face, when if care were used in wiping the tace in close con
nection with the whrskers, the same result will follow as to the
hair. I have been in the receipt of a great number of letters
from all parts of New England, asking me if my hair still con
tinues to be good ; as there is so much fraud in the nianulac
t ure and sale of various compounds as well as this, it has no
doubt been basely imitated and been used, not only without
any good eflect, but to absolute injury. 1 have not used any
of your Restorative of any account for some months, and yet
my hair is as good as ever, and hundreds have examined It with
surprise, as 1 am now 61 years old and not a gray hair in my
head or on my face ; and to prove this fact, I send you a lock
of my hair taken oft” the past. week. I received your favor of
two quart bottles last summer, for which lam very grateful. I
gave it to my friends, and thereby induced them to try it:
many were skeptical unitL after trial, and then purchased ami
used it with universal success. I will ask as a favor, that you
send me a test by which 1 can discover fraud in the Restora
tive, sold by many, I fear, without authority from you. A
pure article will insure success, and I believe where good effects
do not follow, the failure is caused by the impure article, which
curses the inventor of the good. I deem it mv duty as hereto
fore, to keep you apprised of the continued effect on my hair,
as 1 assure aIJ who inquire of me of my unshaken opinion of
its valuable results. 1 remain, dear air, your*.
A. C. KATiioarD.
Aaron’s Ruif, Ky., Nov. 30,1858.
Prof. O. J. Wood—Dear Sir : 1 would certainly be doing you;
a great injustice not to make known to the world the wonderful,
as well as the unexpected result 1 have experienced from using ,
one bottle of your Hair Restorative. After usiug every kind i
of Restorative extant, but without success, ana finding my I
head nearly destitute of hair, I was finally induced to try a |
Dottle of your Hair Restorative. Now, candor and justice 1
compel me to announce to whoever may read this, that I now j
possess anew aud beautiful growth of hair, which I pronounce j
richer and handsomer than the original was. I will therefore f
t ake occasion to recommend this invaluable remedy to all who i
may feel the necessity of it. Respectfully yours.
Rev. S. Am.br Brock-
P. S. This testimonial of my approbation for your valuable t
medicine (as you arc aware of; is unsolicited ; but if you think
it worthy a place among the rest, insert if you wish ; If not de
stroy and say nothing. Yours, &c..

AYER’S SARSAPARILLA. ~
ACIOMPOIJIMD remedy In which we have labored to pro
duce the most effectual alterative that can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with
other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an
iflective antidote for the diseas s Sarsaparilla is reputed to
t lire. It Is believed that, such a remedy is wanted by those
•\ rbo suffer from Strumous complaints, and tuat one which will
a<2compllsh their cure must prove of immense service to this
la rg e class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this
conr.oound will do it has been proven by experiment on many
of th e worst cases to be found of the following complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Eruptive
Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Affections, Mercurial Dis
ease, ] Jropsy, Neuralgia nr’l ie Douloureux, Debility, Dyspep
sia ami Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose or St,. Anthony’s lire,
and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Impurity
of the 1 flood.
This .compound will be found a great promoter of health,
when taken In the spring, to expel the foul humors which fes
ter in the blood at this season of the year. By the timely ex
pulsion of them many raukling disorders are nipped in the bud.
Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves
from tb/s endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores,
through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions,
if not aaslated to do tnis through the natural channels of the
body by ati alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood
whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in
pimples, eruptions or sores ; cleanse it when you find it, is ob
structed and sluggish In the veins ; cleanse it whenever It is
foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no
particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer tor cleansing the blood. Keep the 1 loofl healthy, and all
is well; hut with this pabulum of llte disordered, there can lie
no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong
and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of accom
plishing these ends. But the world has been egregrlously dc
j ceived by preparations of it, partly because the urug alone has
1 not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more because many
j preparations, pretending tt> be concentrated extracts ot‘ it, cou
-1 tain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
! During late years the public have been misled by large bot
j ties, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla tor
one (lobar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla but often no
■ouratlve properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disap
pointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sar
aajarlila which flood the market, until the name itself is Just ly
despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and
cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of
obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground
for bcKeadng it has virtues wi leh are irresistible by the ordinary
run of the diseases it Is intended to cure. In order to secure
their complete eradication from the system, the remedy i-hould
be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle.

PROF. L. MILLER’S
HAIR INVIGORATOR.
AN EFFECTIVE, SAFE AND ECONOMICAL
COMPOUND,
FOR RESTORING GREY HAIR
to Its original color, without dyinr, and preventing the Hair
from turning grey.
FOR PREVENTING BALDNESS,
and curing it when there Is the least particle of vitality for re
cuperative energy remaining.
FOR REMOVING SCURF &DANDUFF
and all Cutaneous Affection# jf ths Scalp.
FOR BEAUTIFYING THE HAIR,
mparting to it an unequalled gloss and brilliancy, making It
son and silky in its texture, and causing It to curl readily.
The great celebrity and the increasing demand for this une
qualled preparation, convinces the proprietor that one trial is
only necessary to satisfy a discerning public of its superior quali
ties over any other at present in use. It cleanses
the head and scalp from dandruft and other cutaneous diseases ;
causes the hair to grow luxuriantly, and gives it a rich, soft,
glossy and flexible appearum-e ; and also where the hair la
loosening and thinning. It will give strength and vigor to the
roots, and restore the growth to those, parts which Lave become
bald, causing it to yield a fresh covering of hair. iea
There are hundreds of Ladies and Gentlemen In w York
who have had their bair restored by the use of the Inv.eorator,
when all other preparations had failed. L. M. has in ms pos
session letters Innumerable testifying to the above facta, from
persons of the highest respectability. It will effectually pre
vent the hair from turning grey until ttie latest period of lue;
and in cases where the hair has already changed its color, the
use of the Invlgorator will certainly restore it to its original
hue, giving it a dark, glossy appearance. Asa perfume for too
toilet and a Hair Restorative, it is peculiarly recommended,
having an agreeable fragrance : and the great facilities .tnflords
in dressing the hair, which, when moist with the
can dressed in any required form so as to preserve its piaco,
whether plain or in curls—hence the great demand for it by inc
ladies as a standard toilet article which none ought to be with
oat, as the price places it within the reach of all, being
ONLY TWENTY-FIVE CENTS
per bottle, to be had at 1I respectable droplet*’ and perfumers.
L. MILLER would call tbeattention of Parent* and Onar
dians to tbe use of ble Invlgorator, in cases where the childrens
Hair incline* to b weak. The use of It lay* the foundation fc
a good head of Hair, a* It remove* any impurities that may
have become connected with the scalp, tlie removal ol which *
the health of the child and the future ap
pearancc of its Hair.
