THIS celebrated medicine is one Of the very
best in the country, and its good qualities only
need to be known, to give it precedence over all
others now in use. We have seen -ita4g good
effects lately, after the total failure of many
others. This is saying more than we can for
any other medicine within our knowledge, and
we feel it il duty to recommend the Bittcrs TO
the notice of our friends. The genuine is pre-
pared by DR.. c. M. JACKSON, Philadelphia, and

Thinking that some of our young friends would
be pleased 10 have copy of this favorite Ethio-
pean "squall," we present them on another COL

almost every one, by this time, has the tune.
Those deficient in this latter respect can be put
into the right way, by sitting few hours in some
piazza fronting upon our Plaza and listening at

The SECRET OF LoNGEvITY.-The means
known, so far, of promoting longevity, have
usually concentrated in short, pithy sayings
AS keep your head cool, and your feet
warm p" Work much, and eat little," &c.,
just as if the whole science of human life
could be summed up and brought out in u
few words, while its great principles were
kept out of sight. One ofthe best Of these
sayings is given by an Italian in his hundred
and sixteenth year, who being asked the rea-
son of his living SO long, replied with that
improvisation for which his country is re-
marked:
When hungry, Of the best eat,
And dry and warm keep my feet;
screen my head from sun and rain,
And let few cares perplex my brain.
The following is about the best theory of
the matter Every man is born with GER
tain stock of vitality, which cannot be in
creased, but may be husbanded. With this
stock he may live fast or slow-rnay live en-
tensiveIy or intensiveIy-may spread his lit
tie amount of life over large space, or mar
row it into contracted one; but when this
stock is exhausted he has no more. He who
lives extensively, drinks pure water, avoids
all inflamitory diseases, exercises sufficiently
but iaboriously, fndulges no cxhausting
passions, feeds on no exciting material, pur-
sues no debilitating pleasures, avoids all Ia
borous and protracted study, preserves an
easy mind, and thus husband his luantum of
vitality-will live considerably longer than

DEATHS OF MISSIONARIES FROM STARvA-
TIoN.-Six English missionaries, under Capt.
Gardener, R. N, who were sent out among
the savagcs of the Straits of Magellan, in
1850, fell victims ut Spanish Harbor, last
September, to starvation. A British vessel
recently went in search of them, and found
the dead bodies of two of them, and frag-
mcnts of papers from the others, detailing
their frightfu suferings. The last note of
Capt Gardner was of the 9th of September,
at which time he had been four days without
food. 1t appears the scurvy broke out
among them in April, from which time they
began to suffer for food.

Sound Sentiments.

We make the following extracts from a
speech by Mr.. C. NJ. Ingorsoll, of Connecticut,
delivered in the House of Representatives
on last Wednesday:
"DIr. Chairman: The secession Of sorc-
rcion State from this Union is very easy
act to perform where there is 4 will (and
God grant it may never arlse) to 90 IT,
Whether it is constitutional or revolution
ary rirht which must be exercised is ques-
ton which have no time to discuss here.
I prefer to look at the practical bearing OF
the result, should the issue of secession ever
be made. Suppose State determines upon.
secession, what power q speak not OF
fright ") of the federal government, under
the Constitution, will force it to remain III
the confcderacy? Has it any power! In
theory, even, it is questionable to some
minds, while in practical point OF view It
is powcress. What! 4 government formed
upon compact and compromise, and fonn-
drd upon the will and affection OF the peo-
pie governed, and deriving all its strength
from the popular voice, compelling the peo-
pie of IL sovereign State. at the point OF the
bayonet, into submission? The idea is at
war with every principle of our republican
government But if il is carried out, what
then? Tell me the worth of that State to
this Union which is kept 10 us only by pow
der and ball? Let 4 State determine on Sc
cession, and while the strong arm OF federal
authority cannot force it to its place in the
| galaxy of stars which compose the Union, ii
will be no easy undertaking to persuade It
back to the point it before occupied by the
side of its sister States in the confederacy.
"Mr Chairman, the people of the Narth
have not, until of late, aroused themselves
to knowledge Of the ruin which has threa.
tened the Union: immersed in business, and
bent on the pursuits of honest gain, they
have been unmindful of the danger which
has surrounded them; while designing men
and politicians with selfish ends, have been
sporting with the institutions Of the country,
like a child with baubc The political
question of slavery in the States or in the

right to destroy my neighbor's field, or abuse
him, because he continues to plant weed,
which, in my opinion, forced upon me by
my own experience, is destroying his land,
and which, in its effects, has al injurious in
hucnce upon the health of the community
around us. No more right has the State of
Connecticut TO say to South Carolina, your
slave labor Is Improbable; we have found
it so, therefore you mus abolish it. If ! and
my friend from Vi ginia are owners Of a
tract of land which he and contributed to

him how that land shall be cultivated or man-
aged, nor has he that right over me; and 50

may 90 into them with her factory mills, and
that Virginia cannot enter them with ter pro-

INTERESTING FROM MExrco.-Late advices

with view to prevent the ratification OF the

Mexican officials, and he was allowed to take

extraordinary means to replenish their trea-

a very extensive conspiracy exists against
the present administration, and in favor of
the recall and restoration uf Santa Anna.
Mr.. LetcIler, is no doubt, pretty well inform
ed on this point. In the event of the return
of Santa Anna to power, the Garay grant of
the Tehnantepcc route may be attempted to
be transferred to the exclusive possession of
British capitalists.

JUDGE WARDLAw.-The editorial corrcs-

states that his Hon. Judge Wardlaw, willie
taking notes in the evidence in case tried
before him at Anderson Court House, on the
I'd inst, fainlcd and fell from his seat on
the bench. Great confusion and constcrna-
ton ensued. In 4 few minutes, however,
the Judge revived and proposed to 60 ON
with the case, but the bar insisted on the
adjournment of the Court" We are happy
to perceive that the indisposition Of the
Judge was not serious, as we learn from the
same paper that he was subsequently engag-
ed in holding the Pickens and Greenville
courts
