Military Movements.— The National Intel

ed that the Secretary of War has issued a letter
to Brevet Maj. Gen. I). E. Twiggs, (who is now
at Pascagoula, Mississippi,) ordering him to
Florida for the purpose of superintending the
military detachments w hich have been ordered
there.
“Twocompanies of the 4th artillery, recent

to Tampa Bay ; and also the 7th infantry, re
cently stationed at Jefferson Barracks. Inaddi
*ion to the above, one company of the 2d artille

Proclamation. —We copy the following pro
clamation of the President, from the Charleston
Mercury. It was forwarded by him from Har
risburg, and was received at the Secretary of
State’s office in Washington, on the 13th inst.
“There is reason to believe that an armed ex
pedition is about to be fitted out, in the United
States, with the intention to invade the Island
of Cuba, or some of tho Provinces of Mexico—
the best information which the Executive has
been enabled to obtain, points to the Island of
Cuba as the object of this expedition. It is the
duty of this Government to observe the faith of
treaties, and prevent any aggression by our citi.
zens upon the territories af friendly nations. I
have, therelore, thought it necessary and proper
to issue this proclamation, to warn all citizensof
the United States who shall connect themselves
with an enterprise so grossly in violation of our
law and treaty obligations, that they will there
by subject themselves to heavy penalties de
nounced against them by our Acts of Congress,
and will forfeit their claim to the protection of
their country. No such persons must expect
the interference of this Government, in any
form, in their behalf, no matter to what extre
mities they may be reduced in consequence of
their conduct and enterprise.
“To invade tho territories of a friendly nation,
set on foot and prosecuted within tho limits of
the United States, is in the highest degree crimi
nal, as tending to endanger the peace, and com
promise the honor of this nation ; and therefore,
all good citizens, as they regard our national re
putation, as they respeettheir own laws and the
laws of nations, as they value the blessings of
peace, and the welfare of their country, to dis
countenance and prevent, by all lawful means,
any such enterprise. And I call upon every of
ficer of this Government, civil or military, to
use all efforts in his power to arrest for trial and
punishment every such offender against the laws
providing for tho performance of our sacred ob
ligations to friendly pow ers.

Thieves in Illinois.— “A band of lawless,
thieving desperadoes, with the unenviable ap
pellation of Flatheads, have for some time pasj
committed outrageous dapredations upon the
honest portion of the population of the Southern
end of Illinois. Tho band of thieves number
about three hundred.
“For the safety of life nnd personal property,
about five hundred of the most respectable inliab.
itantsofthat State formed themselves into an as
sociation called the Regulators.
“The aggressions perpetrated by the Flatheads
becoming insupportable, the Regulators deter
mined to use the most vigorous measures to bring
culprits to justice. They accordingly procured
writs for the arrest of ten or twelve leaders of
the Flathead gang, and summoned the officers to
aid them in the execution ofthe law.
The Flatheads hearing of this movement, the
most determined of them, to the number of
about seventy-five, assembled iu a log-house,
where, armed to the teeth, they determined to
staml their ground, and give battle.
The Regulators having discovered the retreat,
came and summoned the Flatheads to surrender,
which request being refused, tho Regulators
threatened to charge the log house, and invited
every honest man who was misled into it to
leave.
About twenty-six, seeing the side of justice
was the strongest, left their companions in the
log-house.
The Regulators then charged upon the re
mainder of the Flatheads, and soon put them to
a precipitate flight.
During the charge, twoofthe Flatheads were
killed and three wounded. Three of the Regu
lators are said to have been mortally wounded.
The whole neighborhood is in the greatest ex
citement. The Regulators, assisted by the au
thorities, determined to run this lawless band
out of the country, and are pursuing them in ev
ery direction.
A number of the Flatheads have fled into
Kentucky, and others have fled ovee to the
swamps.’’

DEATH AND THE FUTURE STATE.
Whilst meditating upon the plan of salvation,
and the miserable condition of fallen man, I
have been constrained to admire the proprietv
of Paul's expression, “without controversy gteat
is the mystery of godliness I” For although the
All-wise Creator has appealed to our under
standing, and adapted Himself to our manner of
speech in His holy Word, yet our minds are so
clouded by sin, and so darkened by iniquity,
that we live and die ignorant of the most impor
tant truths. Did ttie drunken sot, however de
graded he may be, realize the fact that he was
suspended by a brittle thread over the lake that
burns with fire and brimstone—a sudden revolu
tion would take place in his moral and physical
nature. No matter how strong the tie thatbinds
him to the habitual vice, the resolutions enact
ed by the consciousness of his awful condition
would be carried into effect. Then to obtain a
thorough and practical reformation in a man's
character, it is but necessary for him- to know
where he is. All the world, if questioned serious
ly upon the subject, will confess that they are
sinners in the sight of God, yet they do not be
lieve it, in the proper sense of that word. Nor
can this passive information be called knowledge
—for a man who is truly learned must of a con
sequence be wise, and wisdom never spends her
time in cherishing trifles, and neglecting things
of value.
Truly may it be said that the “god of this
world” has blinded the eyes of the people.
the subject of religion he mentioned in the bar
room, it is accompanied with some hackneyed
epithet and disgusting imprecation; if in the
saloon of social party pleasure, it is met with a
scoff; if in the ball-room, it is mocked and
pointed at with derision ; and if within the fash
ionable family circle, it is connected with some
ungenerous allusion to the conduct of professors.
Yet all there persons admit the value of religion
when abstractly considered, although they thus
conclusively reject it. One does not seek it,be
cause it will debar hitn of the wine-cup; a sec
ond will not accept it, because it holds an un
limited rein upon his appetites and passions ; a
third puts it off to a distant day, because it de
nies him the frivolous amusement of the dance ;
and a fourth cannot bear to think of it, because
his mind has always associated the subject with
a state of gloom und melancholy dejection. In-
deed these are but a few of the numerous objec
tions and excuses raised upon the mentiou of this
life of holiness arid self-denial, for the Devil is
always ready with the weapons of fatal delu
sion. For my own part, I have never known a
man so exceedingly burdened with good sense
that he should need to lose any in the fumes of
brandy ; nor a man possessed of such a quantity
of bruins, that he should require n night’s giddy
whirling to deprive him of them.
As I pass along through the busy crowds, or
look in at the windows where the jovial revel
lers sit around the mirth-giving bowl, lam for
cibly reminded oftheir awful destination. Last
night, whilst the clock was striking ten, a loud
shout issued from a card-table. The pack was
dealt again and again, the stakes were lost and
won, till fortune seemed to hover over the lead
er of the party. And whilst he placed the gold
en eagles in the purse, the dim spectre, death,
stood over him, with the sword of disease in his
hand. lie looked around a moment for a vic
tim, and fixed his gaze upon the winner : he
was a man of middle years, with the furrows of
iniquity fully marked upon his prematurely
wrinkled visage—he had listened to the sound
of the church-bell from early youth, and con
science often half persuaded him to go; but his
friends said, “we’ll take a game of whist,” and
he yielded to them—he lived upon the wind, and
now must die without even that support. The
Reaper looked up, and asked a question : the
answer came back quickly, “cut him down ;
why cumbereth he the ground ?” The destroy
er strikes the blow. The man had thrown his
money on the board, to play a higher game, but
his hand recoiled, and his voice became feeble
and indistinct, as he told them he was sick. It
is but a passing pain, said they, take a warm
delicious draught, retire for tho night, and to
morrow you will be well. The Reaper heard
them, and smiled sarcastically at their vain phi
losophy. They take him to his chamber, and
leave him to the dark and stilly night. Shall
we approach his bed side ? His friends have
forsaken him now ; they have something else to
do, beside watching by the sick pillow. But
he groans mournfully, and turns from side to
side. No physician here to ease his sufferings ;
no kindly voice to pour its consolations into his
ear; his conscience is awakened, and like a
voracious monster is gnawing at the fibres of his
heart; twenty-five long years of iniquity and
crime come marching up beforo his mind, and
he sees condemnation written on the face of
each in flaming characters; and the doors of
Heaven’s justice are closed against him forever.
Oh ! thrice wretched man ! In a few moments
more the wretched spirit leaves its present place
of torment, only to plunge into a deeper and a
darker hell ! Oh, my God ! are these things
so ? Shall I meet any of my friends at thy judg-
ment bar, and see them driven from thy presence
forever ? Oh let thy mercies woo them, and
thy judgments force them, to the foot of the
cross !
In a very little while we shall be dead. The
slender trees that wave over the brow efthe si
lent cemetery, will soon cast their partial shade
over our graves. The falling waters will pass
by, and foam and fret over the margin of the
rocks, and as they sweep down towards their
ocean home, will interchange a passing saluta
tion with the gentle breezes that gambol o’er
the flowers and shrubs upon our resting-place-
The feet of strangers will press the cool and
shady walks, and even the names that we have
cut upon the smooth-bark trees will disappear ;
we shall be forgotten, and if a sympathising re
lative or friend should carve an epitaph for the
marble on our tombs, the eye of curiosity wil|
read it as if tho words were but the cogitations
of a careless scribbler !
But, my Soul I thou art hound to a far bettor
land than this ; and when the earthly tenement
decays, thou hast a mansion above. ZAO. I

The general health enjoyed by the citizens of
Macon is, probably, without a parallel in any
community of its size in the Union. To insure
this blessing, a general state of cleanliness du
ring the summer months should be rigorouslv
enforced. The Aldermen of the city are here
by called upon to report the names of two citi
zens for each square iu the city, whose duty it
shall he to co-opcrate with the Aldermen and
Board of Health, to examine, at least once a
week, until the 10th of October, all yards and
cellars, and to require the instant removal from
tho city of all nuisances and filth calculated to
engender disease- Occupants of huuses are
called upon to cause their promises to be thor
oughly cleansed and ventilated ; and it is farther
suggested, that the yards and cellars having
been cleansed, should be sprinkled with lime or
some other disinfecting agent. Those who are
aware ofthe existence of nuisances of any kind,
likely to become dangerous to the health ofthe
city, should lose no time in reporting the same
to the Mayor. Proper vigilance will be exer
cised by the city authorities for the removal of
all such annoyances. A supply of lime and
chloride oflimo will be furnished free of charge,
by the city authorities, to those who are unable
to buy, on application at this office. Tho fines
imposed by law for neglect in cleansing yards
will in all cases bo enforced, when reported to
this office. GEORGE M. LOGAN,

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASTHMA.
Blountsville, Jones County, Ga., >
August 7th, 1849. )
Dr. M. S Thomson — Dear Sir —Being under
the impression that a short statement relative to
my case might be productive of good to many
that are now afflicted as 1 have been, and being
desirous of adding my testimony in favorof your
system of practice and skill in curing disease, I
have concluded to give it, desiring, if you think
proper, to have it published to the world.
STATEMENT:
In September, 1845, I was attacked with Asth
ma, which continued to return at intervals, more
or less frequent, for two years. I applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians in
the State of Mississippi, where I resided, but
without benefit—for I continued to get worse—
so much so, that from Ist September, 1847, I
had an attack every night, with only five excep
tions, till February, 1849. During this long pe
riod of nearly eighteen months, my condition
was one of terrible suffering, compelled as I
was, to sit up almost all the lime trying to catch
my breath, which every minute seemed as if it
were to be the last ; indeed, I have been for ten
days at a time that I dared not place my head
upon a pillow, wheezing and breathing in a
manner to have been heard over a hundred
yards.
Having exhausted the skill and means ofthe
Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man
catching at straws,! resolved to employ a Homoe
opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case;
but alas! |ie also failed and left me in (lie verv
depths of despair.
In this condition I left Mississsppi and came to
Georgia, and in January of this year, ns a forlorn
hope, placed myself under your care in Macon.
You there saw, with many "others, mv condition,
which for a while,was just as described. I was
reduced to nearly skin and hone, weighing only
110 lbs., my general health having suffered se
verely from the repealed attacks of my fell tor
mentor ; but it was not long before I commen
ced improving. At first, I would miss one night,
then two, then more ; mv general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instrumennality, I enjoy excellent
health— have had no attack of Asthma since the
firstweekitt March, and now weigh 145 lbs.,
my usual standard of weight in health.
Bince then, I have exposed myself during all
this rainy season to all weathers, without being
attacked, which fully justifies and warrants me
in making tnis statement, requesting its publica
tion, trusting that others similarly situated, may
be admonished to cease looking for a cure where
it cannot he found, hut resort at once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored me to health.
U’itli abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain vours sincerely,
CYRUS L. HOLMES.

WHILE so much is being said and done by

the fears of the future are being appealed to;
while legislative aid is being invoked, and ad

them he looks for that “professional” elevation
to which he aspires ; and judging of tho future
by the past, ho has every reason to believe that
lie will not be disappointed. Influential bodies

One of which at any time, is worth a thousand

Quincy, Florida, April 10th, 1849.
Dr. M. S. Thomson — Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since
I received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that Ido not now feel the least symptoms
of disease, my morbid appitite lefl mo on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing I eat now agrees with me, and I am satis
fied with a common meal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my
kidneys failed to do their office when 1 last wrote
you, but these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, and I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with me at the improvement in my health.
When I compare my present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. 1
now enter into conversation with life, as I once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church has been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
and forgetfulness, ivlweli disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach the un
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines left, &.C. I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
