The Cabinet-
We understand Mr. Lincoln is busily en
gaged ia looking up material out of which to
compose bis Cabin.et. This is a matter of
no small labor, and occupies ail uf Mr. Lin
eolu's time. Mr. Lincoln, in our opinion,
will make but few appointments sxcept the
Cabinet officers. Each member of ths Cabi
net will bs left tr*e to arrange the depart
ment under his control as sees proper, and
the President will hold the Cabinet officrs re
sponsible for their appointments. We have
it from the very best of authority, that Mr.
Lincoln will entertain no application for of
fice at this time- Persona who are seeking
position under him will only prejudice their
chances of success by urging their claims at
this tims. Mr. Lincoln does not wish te hear
any on in reference to his claims, but is open
to all who desire to consult with him in ref
erence to the Cabinet. Mr. Lincoln will #e
leot his Cabinet with great care, and wc vc-n
ture to predict that when made up and an
jiotiuoed. will give satisfaction to ths people
of all parte of our country.
Simon Cameion
We are told this distinguished son of Penn
sylvania who has always stood bv her inter
vals, is about to bo rewarded for his life
long-devotion to the Keystone by being plac
ed in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, lie is urged
for Secretary of tho Treasury, and a better
appointment could not be made, lis is, per
haps, the best financier in the State, and just
the man for the position. We did not think
he would acoept of any position under Mr.
Lincoln, but since he is willing, let him,
al! means, be placed in the Cabinet. His el
evation will leave his place in the Senate va
cant, and Mr. Edgar Cowan, oi Greenvburg,
is just the man to succeed him. Wih Mr.
Cameron in the Cabinet, and Cowan and
Wilmot in the Senate, Pennsylvania might
stand up against the world.
pay Ths Democrats, *ay the Leb:.ioe
Courier, are uneasy because the 'good times'
which were promised undvr Lincoln's ad
ministration do not come. They must not
bs too uastv, for there are three months of
2dr. Buchanan's adinistration yet to endure.
It would be asking too mueh to expect Mr.
Lincoln, or any influence leas than that of
Omnipotence, to impress prosperity upon
such an administration as the Democracy
has cursed tho country with. If the Buchan
an administration shall leave a Union for
Mr. Lincoln to govern, he will no doubt do
hie share to make it prosperous, peaceful,
and happy.
CALIFORNIA AND OREGON. —The latest news
by pony express states that tha electioa re
turns for California were nearly all in, and
that Lincoln is still from 500 to 800 ahead of
Douglas, and ail parties concede the State to
him.
In Oregon, as far as heard fram, the vote
itood, Lincoln, 5002 ; Breckinridge, 4866 ;
Douglas, 3850 ; 8e11,*148 ; with the proba
bilities that the counties yet to be beuri
from will increase Lincoln's majority consid
erable.

Central American Union.
The expedition* of Walker against the
feeble and disunited republic of Smth. Awr
ica have b irne g >od frui*- in tbe suggestion
ef an unton of their intsrests. President
Martinez, of Nicargun, in a proclamation
congratulating and ihankit g the people upon
their succe-s in xp<iiing <t>' ti ii ostf rs.urges
the necessity of the cnneoii;!a'iup of tne re
publics of Central America as a necessary
measure of strength and mean* at security.
If such a federation was pn*sr!e, the best
results might be expected. But mutual jca!-
*uy end distrust, and the almost rota! Lick
nf patriotism in ike leading classes, will prob
ably fur a long time forbid n consummation
•o desirable. Tiro poor people of these re
publics havo been, ever since their indepen
dence, a prey to adverse faction*, to which
tyraitny ot or e eoergstic tussler, too strong
to tempi an rffort for his overthrow, would
of'an have been an endurable alternative.
Geographies and atlastes have not been
able to keep op with the revolutions which
have over-run thess fair but fated couniries.
It ia a little old that Havti. after all, has
more promising prospects than any of them ;
not because it has a better population, but
because it has, at ia*t, the blessing of a ruler,
at ence able and patriotic. These throes of
change are inevitable, however in the tran
sition periods of states. Liberty will pre
vail in the end, but not until its necessary
pioneers, free religion and popular intelli
gsnce. prepare the way. There is no possi
bility <>f civil liberty without these ; the laws
of the human mind forbid the expectation.
But when these conditions are fulfilled, tbe
world may see a glorious South Araeriean
constellation of republics.
PARSON BROWNLOW DEFIES THS SECESSION
ISTS. lis WILL FIGUT ON ANY DAV BLT SUN
DAY,—W. G. Brownlow, well known as Par
sun Brownlow and the editor of the Ivnox
*il!e Whig, a leading Bell and Evereit organ
of Tennessee, prints the following card in
the last issue :
I have been told that some persons belong- I
ing to the Breckinridge party have said that
I have disappeared from the streets of Knox
'ille since the election, wehtber on ac
count i f defeat or fsar of others, I have not
heard suggeeted- It does not occur to me
that my defeat is more overwhelmingly than
that of every Breckinridge man in Knoxvil'e
As to my appearance on the streets, I have
been on Main, Cumberland, and Gay streets
every day since the election but Sabbath,
and to have appeared elsewhere, I must have
gone out of the road to and from my busin*
ess. I have an office and a patronage that
will sustain me, if attended to, independent
of parties, and in despite of the Breckinridge
party, and I uslt no favors of that party, at
home or abroad. Ido not expect to live by
office, and I am, therefore, not an applicant
for any other position than that of editor and
bublisher of this journal, and this, with an
ample paying list, no organization can de
prive me of, and no combination of cowards
can take from me.
I am not aware that there is more than one
man in this city who desires to do me a per
sonal injury, and be can find me every day
of my life but Sabbath, prepared to receive aTiy
call he makes upon me, and the judgment of
this community is, that THE CALL MUST COME
FROM HIM. It is customary after an exciting
electiOD.for editors to apologise for what they
, have said and done und&r excitement, and
I for men of all pariies to make libera! allow
| nnce for them. I have no apology to make,
| and heg not to be excused, as what I said and
i published was done with 000 l deliberation.
I
i and now that the storm is ovar, meets my
! most hearty approval!

[From the La Croese ( Wis.) Union and Democrat.^
Oh, Dear! Where's the Cam-fire ?
The returns from this State come pouring
along like Luck-wheat from tbe tail-aud of a
fanning mill, asd just about as comfortable
to read aS that triangular grain is to sit on !
We feel sort of weakish about the gizzard !
We feel chilly, clammy like, just on the
small of the back, to read how this State—
this Badger State has aeted ! Oh, Temparo
oh, Moses! sine qnixy ding dong ! 'I

puts another Republican paper in our box
until after Thanksgiving, we'll steal his door
yard ! They are so mean—get a fellow down
and laugh at him ! Sitting straddle oi his

abdomen, would'nt be halt as bad. If the
Legislature don't divide this State, the Leg

ManituWOC county, instead of 1400 Demo
cratic, gives Lincoln 150 majority. Oh dear !
We are in agony ! Rock county, that "wool
growing section," gave Lincoln anywhere
from 10,00u to 700,000 —we have not time to
count.
Jefferson county has turned over like a boy
with the cholic. and now lays groaning, black
side up! Wisconsin has done it! Every

State than you could roll down hill! We
have three hundred pounds of figures, but
not enough to give half ihe majorities in
Rock county, even ! Go on witti your old
scow—it won't rain long !
For President in 1864: Stephen A. Djuglas
South Carolina.
Gov. Gist of South Carolina, sent in his
message to the Legislature, on the 27th. It
chiefly relates to the local affairs of the State.
He advises, in view of the proposed seces
sion, efforts for-a direct trade to Europe.—
■Refers to postal matters, and suggests the
temporary use of Adams Express, for carry
ing mail matters. lie advises ths prohibi
tion of the introduction of any slaves, from
State# not in tho Confederacy, and the en
actment of ths most stringent laws against
Abolition incendiaries. He gives up hope of
concerted action on the part of the South .
but, declares that the only course for South
Carolina is secession, and believes that Geor
gia, Alabama, Missisiippi, Florida, Texas
and Arkansas, will follow.
Tbe message concludes with the following
language :
"I cannot permit myself to believe that, in
the madness of passion, an attempt will he
made by tbe next Administration to ooerce
South Carolina, after her secession, by refu
sing ti surrender the harbor defences, or in
terfering with her imports and txpurts. But
if mistaken, we must accept the issue, and
meet it as becomes men and freemen, who
infinitely prefer annihilation to disgrace."
Return of the Prince.
After a somewhat protracted voyage, tho
Baron Renfrew Las reached England. There
seems to have been a good deal of alarm f x
perieoefd at Windsor Cas'le about his safety.
Tfie maternal crinoline, we doubt not, shook
heavily at the barest prospect of "our eldest
born" experiencing the luxury of a salt-wtt f er
plunge. How the young Misses who ran
stark mad in this country, at the sight of a
live Prince, must have wept over the suppo
sed lot" of the "dear boy "
J£re be touched the shores of his island
home, one ship had bsen dispatched to hunt
for the wandering fleet, and others were to
follow in rapid succession, could he cot La
found in the first royal messenger. Head
winds delayed this sprig of royalty ; the
sgents of Boreas were not amiable to the
heir apparent to the throne of "Xbe Queen of
Wales." 11 >w rude and uucourtly the Tri
tens have become ! Neptune must control
his subordinates. Perhaps the hoary old
owner of the trident has fire-eaters in bis do
minions, and the royalty fleet got into the
hounderie* of soma marine houth Carolina.
Can the ocean cable not I e so far resuscit
ated as to bring us intelligence of this watery
revolution ?

with a farmer in Armstrong county who wa

persuaded him to buy a battle ot Bcerhave's

Kansas
The news from Kansas, says the N- York !
World, is uncertain and contradictory, hut
calculated to inspire uneasiness. That ir j
regular and illegal mrvements of armed men j
are going on tbtte, is certain ; it is equally
true that a considerable part of the people' t
are om the verge of famine. That the terri
tory has been in a condition to breed unruly ;
flpirits, and has been the ecene of deplorable j
federal mismanagement, resulting in exas— i
perated feeling and civil war, is matter of
recent history. When men who feel oppres
sed and sore, fiud themselves face to race
with starvation, wo may expect to hear guns.
The border troubles, four years ago, brought
John Brown to his rifle, and after a brief ca
reer of fanatical heroism, to the gallows.—
The seeds that fell from the tree so rudely
shaken then, have been quickened by the j
drought that killed the wheat, and now, in
stead of bleseed harvests, we have an array j
of armed men, sprung up from the soil.— ;
Dragon's teeth grow best in parched fields
that dry up the seed-corn.
We stop a moment to say, that nothing il
lustrates the evils of excessive partisanship
more than the impossibility of getting trust
worthy accounts of important events occur
ing far from the great - centres. Here is a
matter, of which it is extremely important
that all parties should know the truth. Yet J
it is impossible to arrive at the truth. The |
determination of partisan newspapers, and of j
their correspondents, to throw all the blame
upon the other side, leads to distortion, mis- j
representation, and even positive mendacity, ;
It was so four years ago, and it is so now, !
atnl probably there is nothing of equal im- !
portance less understood by cur people than
the precise merits of the Kansas case.
Toe famine, however, is a conceded fact, j
In Shawnee, Breckinridge, Linn, Anderson,
; Allen, Bourbon, Waul unsee, Osage; Coffee,
' and other counties, the" de titution is such
! that a'careful division ofa'l their provisions
I would not keep the men, women, and chii- j
j dren alive for four months, even if the cattle
were counted out and !e,t to perish. There
is, unhappily no doubt of this fact. It is
substantial! by statements made at public
meetings of tho inhabitants of all the above
! counties. It is also a fact, that in the face
j of these distressing circumstances, demand- j
ing the immediate and paternal interposi
| tion of the government the people are uunac- ;
S essariiy exasperated by pressing the land j
| sales, against their remonstrances, and at a I
i time when they have no money to pay their j
pre-emptions. Hereupon tidings come,
which, howevever lamentable, were to be '
expected. Men are up in arms, prepared, at
; least, to resist the federal authorities, and |
i nothing loth, on small prov ications, to pay I
I off old scores on their former border ene- I
mies. N-xt, the United States troops are
being concentrated in Knnsas, and the dan
ger is that the deplorable conflict of 185G-57 i
may be renewed.
It is a high Christian grace to bear inju j
ries without resentment, and it must be con- i
ceded that the people of Kansas—the most;
i gallant, industrious, and intelligent popula
i lion upon our borders—have had severe les
j sons. It is easy to preach patience and long
suffering at a distance fr >m the scenes, where
oppression and want provoke even just and
peaceful men to take up arms But if our
voice could reach the people of Kansts, we i
would say to them : Disarm your hands ; i
trust to law-abiding remonstrance; commit i
yourselves to almighty truth; suffer wrong,
if need be—u will not be long. The people
of the whole country will lake care of tho
question speedily, and a moral torce, mean*
while, will be yours, which lies not in Sharp's
rifles, persuasive though they be. Captain
Montgomery, whatever his motives, would
hove done better, if he had used his iuflu
ence at the present crisis, to keep tho people
quiet, and to organize means of relief from
famine. To the people of the United States,
to Congress, to the President, he might have
appealed. A resort to toe sword, while it is
spirited, and eomforts the angry mood, u-u
--! ally postpones the day of fuh redress. The
I prevalent political party, to which Captain
! Montgomery is suppoed to adhere, will be
! futally discredited by bis proceedings, and
i especially if he should be tempted to make
| excursions into Missouri. There is no evi
! (itnee, however, that he has violated the
i peace of that state. If he should, he would
i justly be treated as an outlaw,
i Yet, we must disapprove the aetioD of the
[ general government toward Kansas, in the
plainest and most emphatic terms. This is
a case calling for the utmost forbeaiance. —
The lands upon which. the peof le of south
crn Kawsa* had sett led, aud which it was the
interest of the government that they should
occupy and improve, are brought into mar
ket at a time wfjen tbey have not money
enough to keep them from Btarving through
the winter. The circumstances are such that
the gravest suspicion is justified that a con
spiracy of speculators is at the bottom of the
oppressive measure—a combination which,
of all others, should be frowned upon Ly the
government. What is the obvious duty of
the President ? To postpone the land sales,
in the first place. No argument of uniform
ity of custom is of the slightest.weight. This
is an exceptional case. aDd must be treated
in its own way. To send, as the next step,
nn intelligent and patriotic committee to the
territory, to ascertain, under executive com-
I mission, the exact facts wbiah have been
i urged upon the government by Mr. Hyatt
and others, but which were received with a
coolness and inattention which, to 6ay the
least, were in the worst possible taste. Fi
nally. to let it be known, fully and freely,
t hat justice -and even liberality will govern the
executive action in relation to the whole mat*
ter, without fear or favor of any partj.
A delegation was sent to Washington to
j urge a postponement of the sales which were
to have taken place on the 25th inst. The
country has a right to expect that in his
treatment of this delegation, and in his meas
ure thereupon, the President will show as
prompt a zeal (or tho suffering people of the
nation as, in the appointment of Gen. Har
ney, he has already exhibited for its laws.
Persecution in Spain
News has been received in Scotland, of an
outbreak of religious persecution, against
the Spur.isii Protestants in Granada. The
Spanish Evangelization Society of Scotland,
to whom this intelligence has come, lias re
mitted such sums of money as weie at its'
command, for the relief of the sufferers ; and
calls lor special contributions for this pur
nose. This society has been active in en
couraging Protestantism In Spain, relying
upon the tacit toleration of the government.
There has heen no revocation, however, of
the laws, forbidding Protestant worship ;
and it cou'd hardly have been expected, that
bigotry wcu'd not sometime awake, and make
a strenuous effort to keep its grOuud. it
seems that a Spaniard, not connected, how
ever, with the Scottish society, was arrested,
and letters and documents fouod in his pos
session, implicating many of his qountrymen,
as favoring the Protestant movement-. Of
these, numbers have been imprisoned, and
others have fled—some to the interior, and
some to Gibraltar, Much suffering baa, of
course, ensued.
The observer of current events, in the light
of history, will Dot be surprised to hear of
fierce outbreaks of religious persecution.—
But they will be brief. If a volcano should
be etopped at its crater, its fires would find
vent elsewhere. The monster of papal op
pression hat been scotched in its dsn by
Garibaldi, and we shall hear from its breod.
Secession as affecting the Seceding S a'es. i
South Carolina says the will go out of the '■
UnioD, and for the following reasons :
First: The existence, in certain Free'
States, of laws tending to obstruct the exe- :
cution of the Fugitive Slave Law, and ren
dering it difficult or impossible for her to re- {
cover her slaves escaping into such States. 1
Second : The election of Mr. Lincoln to ,
the Presidency.
Third: The possible future prohibition of
slavery in the territories of the United States
by a possible future Republican Congress,
whereby she will be deprived of the right to
carry her slaves into such territories. These
are the three intolerable wrongs which lead
ber to pari company with her thirty-two sis
ter States, and establish an independent gov
ernment. The sure and palpable result to
herself will be as follows, assuming that she
should be allowed peaceably to withdraw: j
Her first grievance—the escape of her i
slaves —will be intensified tenfold. Tbe free ;
States, it is certain, would never permit ■.
slaves to be reclaimed by a foreign country,
and the slaves themselves would have an im
measurably Ftronger incentive to escape,
knowing, as they would, that if they but
reached the borders < f any Free State tboy
would be forever free. Hence, a dozeo slaves
would run away where one now does, and ;
none who crossed a Free Slate line would be :
returned.
With regard to her second grievance—the 1
election of a Republican President —it need j
only be said that that simple, naked fact is,
and can se, of no possible detriment
fo ber, socially, financially, or politically. It
is true that, by secession, she escapes Mr, j
Lincoln's rule ; but in doing so she flies from ,
an evil purely imaginary.
The possible future exclusion of her slaves
! from the territories—her third grievance—
she makes a certainty , a: d fastens that cer
tainty upon herself irremediably and forever
:by secession. As a foreign, alien nation, she
! knows she could never take her slaves into
I any Territory of the United States. She
! knows she would receive no favors or indul
-1 gences of that character from the United
States. In the Uniou. she will share with
the ether slave states the benefit of any c m- !
promises or concessions made witli or to them
Iby the Fiee States. If, as may possibly be
! tha case, certain of the Teritories shall he j
| left open to slavery, she will, in the Union.
I reap the advantages accruing therefrom to j
! the slave States ; but, out of the Union, she
: will be deprived of that advantage. She thus
proposes, by seceding, to shut herself out
i from all the territories, beyond all peradven- ,
ture, and for all time,
| Sucb is the logic and such the policy of
! secession, granting the grievances of the
i State of South Carolina to be just what she j
says they are. If a man who had been hit- ;
ten by a dog that was possibly mad should
i resolve and proceed to gel himself bitten hy
j another dog, undeniably rapid, he would be ;
I curing his troubles in precisely the same ;
| fashion that our brethren of the Palmetto
State are remedying theirs.— The World.
An American Fights a Duel in Italy
j The last correspondence from Florence, j
| Italy, mentions a duel which has taken place
i in the island of Corsica, between the Marquis
| Nicollini and Mr. Wilson, a New Yorker, j
i whose sister married, some years ago, Mr. 1
' C:riant. in the city of New Y r ork. Mr. ;
| Wilson Lad made himself justly edious to the '
Itaiiaus, by the avowal of his sympathies for
the Aus'.rians during the campaign of Lorn- j
hardy. While passing one day by the "Cafe j
Doney," where he saw the Marquis Nicollini 1
| was standing in the door, he stamped with j
violence upon the nobleman's foot; when the |
Marquis asked him wherefore he acted so : j
" Because," said he "it is my pleasure to treat ;
j dogs in that way ; and I know no reason why j
| you should be an exception to the rule."— |
j The mild Italian was satisfied to answer him 1
• that if the foreigner could find a couple of :
friends he would be happy to give bim, in
| their presence, a lesson of decency.
The due! was to take place not far from j
I Florence, but tha police having got wind of
; the quarrel, informed Wilson that be would
i expose hi nisei to an exemplary punishment
'if he was accepting the challenge. The
i American, nothing daunted, sent a friend to
j tho Marques to tel! him that he would be
! found on a certain day in the French island
| of Corsica, and that bis weapon was the
; sword.
Tha two adversaries and their seconds left
! Florrsnce by tf*c same schooner. At their
i arrival on the island, it was necessory to
give poor Nicoliiri a day of rest, as he had
I been sea-sick during the short journey. On
the next morning, when the two enemies
j met on the seashore to settle tbeir quariel,
J Wilson, who had com over with but one
friend, while the Italian had two, went in
search of another second.
Mr. Wilson, who had shown himself the
! plueker of the two, was also the luckier : for '
I after a few passadoes, his sword went through i
| the Italian's hand, and the seconds declared j
tbe honor of both parties sale. At his re- j
turn to Florrence, the American received the
: visit of a high police functionary, who in-"
| formed him that, in order to avoid the re
! rurrence of such scenes, as well as the pub
-I*lie manifestations of the indignation of the
' people towards him, he would do better to
favor another country with his presenoe
within 48 hours. The Italian hater took the
hint, and if the war breaks one between the
Austrians and the troops of Victor Emanuel,
we tnav expect to see him among the most
determined defenders of the celebrated
Quadrilateral.

Burning of the Pacific.
A Thousand Animals Burned Alive.
We have announced the burning of the
Pacific , at Uuiontown, Kentucky, one of the
finest steamers on the western witters. She '
had a very large quantity of liye stock on
board, and tbe burning of these poor crea
tures must have been a sickening sight. One
account says Mr. Robert Fore, a passenger,
cut the halter of one of his tine horses, which
swain ashore. A large bullock also swam j
out, but died as SOOD as it reached the shore. [
Ths scence of the burning boat and its thou- j
sand head of live stack, all tied to the stake, |
a prey to the devuuring flames, was fearful j
and horrible in the extreme. There were j
seven hundred and fifty sheep, and one hun- |
dred and thirty head of fat cattle, mules and ;
horses, ail burnt alive, with no chance of es- j
cape. In addition to the live stock, there j
was upwards of three hundred tons of pork, j

with the destruction of the splendid steamer,
invo.ved a loss of nearly $100,UlX)
Mr. John R. Sharp, of Oweosboro, was '
present, standing on the hank at Uniontown, ,
wnen the Pacific took fire. He states that
the Pacific was undoubtedly set on fire hy j
some miscreant, and that a gen'lcmau on the
bauk saw it man thrust a tirch into a loonse j
bale of hay, and remarked at the time, '"See '
that scoundrel setting the boat on fire," and j
rushed down towards the boat; but immedi- \
ately consternation spread over every per- 1
son, and the incendiary was uot discovered. !
Mr. Sharp ru-hed uown the bank of tho riv
er, in company with two other persons. He
threw off h.s coat and vest, and gave his
w itch and pocket-book to one of his compan
ions who could not swim. lie discovered
two ladies, cabin passengers, who had come |
down to :he rear part of the boat. He called .
to them to jump overboard when he and the
other gentlemau leaped into the water. Tne
ladies jumped overboard, and, obeying Mr,
Sharp's irieiru tions, they were both saved, j
each gentleman swimming ashore with a la- j
dy.
Mr. Sharp, delivered the lady, in a faint- i
j ing condition, into the arms of her husband, !
who had rushed into the water to meet them
from the shore, Mr. Sharp, without going 1
ashore, swam back and brought a child
ashore that was floating on the water. By
this tima he-was benumbed with cold and ex-
I hausted from his efforts in the water. Look
: ing back, near the burn ng boat he discoy- j
ered two ladies who had jum >ed overboard, ;
| struggling in the water, clinging to each j
: other and screaming for help, lie started to 1
j go to their assistance, when, after a despe
rate struggle, they tank, licked in each!
I other's arms, and he saw no more of them.—
I The scene around, by this time, was truly np- j
| palling. The cables of the boat hnd burned
| in two. and were not cut, as had been.stated, j
and the burning boat had drifted out and
; passed slowly down the river. Two fine grey
mares, owned by Mr. Yantz, of Washington,
; Ind., jumped overboard and were not injur
| ed ; some ten or twelve more head of stock
| reached the shore with all their hair burnt
j off, their eyes burnt out, and the flesh and i
: skiu dropping from them in many places.
I A son of Mr. Yantz, in his heroic efforts to
save the horses, came near losing his own life.
He rushed among them with a knife cutting I
I tho ropes and halters which bound thein, j
, aud, when he had released the last horse, it
! rushed over fiim, knocking hitu down and in- j
! juring him severely. His clothes were all j
! on fire, and he would certainly have been !
I burned to death, when the mate of tbe boat
! seized him and threw him overboard, and he
! was rescued. Mr. Sharp says there is no
i doubt that over forty lives were lost. The
' books, papers, money in the office, ware all
| lost. As the Fairchild moved off, some gen- !
; tleroan who had thrown his trunk, contain
i ing SSOO in money, overboard from tbo Pa* I
cfic, stated that his name was on the trunk, j
and that he would give a large reward for its j
| recovery. The next m irning the trunk was i
j found below town broken open and rifled of j
| its valuable contents— Owensboro, [Ky.)

BY THE CARD OP TOWER HALL.
A conr.try Editor was seen
In Philadelphia city,
With woeful lace that moved tho hearts, j
Of feeling mon to pity.
Ho looked as it in patty strife,
He had been badly treated ;
He looked as many others look
Because they've been defeated*
Tbe hopes of office all bad fled,
On which he long had doated ;
. And fie is not the tnan be was
The day before he voted.
IJis face was long ; his upper lip
Was t embling ev'rv minute ;
IJe tried to keep it stiff'—alas !
i There was no stiffness in it.

A ttd this was his confession :
" I'm worried, sir, almost to death,
With fears about secession.
" Old Jersey is mr native State !
If Southern Slates eecede, SIT,
What will become of Jersey then ?
I fear the worst, indeed, sir."
" Don't cry," said I; ' I must," said he,
" My tears I cannot dry, sir :
The thought that sister States must part, !
Should make the angels cry, sir."
|
" Come ! go," said I, '' to Tower llall, j
And buy a suit of kersey,
And then I'll show you how to save
The good old Slate of Jersey."

And paid with dimes some honest men

" Now, then," said I, ''go horns and be
A loyal man in Jersey;

Stick through your pants ot kersey.
The lines our Constitution draws,

Then every State will have its rights,
And none will cry " Secession I"

nature makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state ot the brain, and viewed in this
light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended
.to give notice of disease which might other v,
escape attention, till too late to be remedied ; and
its indications should never bo neglected. Heed
aches may be classified under two names, viz :
Symptomatic and Idiophatie. Symptomatic Head
ache is exceedingly common and. is the precursor
of a great variety of diseases, among which are
Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sy utpathctic of
diseases of the stomach constituting sick head
ache, of hepathic disease constituting hiliutui ht'id
uche, of worms, constipation and other disorders
of tiic towels, as well as renal and uterine affec
tions. Discnsas of the heart are very frequently
attended oiih Headaches; Anaemia and plethora
are also affections which frequently occasion head
ache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common,
being usually di.-ihiguished by the same of ner
vous headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in
a state of apparently sound health and prostrat
ing at once the mental and physical energies, and
in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by
depression of spirits or acerbity of temper. In
most instances the pain is in the front of the head,
over ono or both eyes, and sometimes provoking
vomiting ; under this class may also he named.
Neuralgia
For the treatment of either c'a'S of Ileadaohe
the Cephalic Pills bare been found a sure at .1
sale remedy, relieving ihe most acute pains in a
few minutes, and by it* subtle power eradicating

CONSTIPATION OR COST!VENESS.
No ono of the " many ills fieslt is heir to" it so
prevalent, so little understood, and so muck us
glected as Costiveress. Often originating in cars
les-ness, or sedentary habits; it is regarded as s
slight disorder of too little consequence to excite
anxiety, while in realit j it is the precursor aud
companion of many of the most fatal and danger
ous diseases, and unless early eradicated it will
bring the sufferer to an untimely grav,-. Among
the lighter evils of v.'uich costiveness is tho u-ust
attendant are Headache, Colic, Rheumatism, Foul
Breath, Tiles and other* of like nature, while a
long train of frightful disease*, such a M i'iguant
Fevers, Abcessea, Dysentery, Diarrhoea. Dyspep
sia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Para'ytis, Hysteria..
Hypochondriasis, Melancholy aud Insanity, 3ri
indicate their presence in the system by this
alarming symptom, Not unfrequently the dis
eases mimed originate in Constipation, but taL on
an independent existence unless the case is r* t
icat cl in tut early rtage. From all these consid
erations it follows that the disorder should rec ivo
immediate attention whenever it occurs, and oa
the first appearance of the complaint, as tai.
timely use will expel the iusiluous approaches of
disease* utiu destroy this dangerous foe to hutaau
