Medical Institute is so extensively known in
this State, that any notice of it, or of him, might
seem superfuous. Yet fearing that there are
those who heretofore having had no need of med
ical aid, have neglected to ascertain the proper
sources of relief in cases of misfortune. To
those We beg leave to direct attention to DR.. L.
J. Czapkay, who is certainly a Physician of great
skill and wonderful success in his profession-
The DR.. has devoted much attention to the treat
ment of Chronic and Private Diseases, and stands
unrivalled in his management Of them. To those
who need such assistance we cheerfully recon-
mend DR.. L. J. Czapkay; it would be well at all
events to consult him, as he makes no charge for
consultation, and much good might result from
it. The DR.. guarantees cure in all cases or asks
no compensation.

DISsoLvING THE UNIoN,-It is funny to
hear the complacent and dogmatic manner
in which sundry politicians of the North
and South talk of dissolving the Union
They speak of the matter as if it were one
of the easiest things in the world, and as if
they could do it. That is the grand mis-
take OF these malcOntent political agitatOrs.
They imagine that they hold the destinies
Of this vast republic in the hollow of their
hand. They have but to open their mouth
in multiplying congressional harangue, or
an elaborate revolutionary newspaper artl-
Gle, and, presto, the Union is blown into
thousand fragments They take no account
Of any other moral forces and elements III
this great country than those OF an OMNIBUS
load Of Catalines, who, even if each had
power for ruin as strong as his will, would
not be able to displace the smallest stone IN
the vast temple of the American conteder-
acy.
Outside ofthis knot Of discontented and
aspiring men, lies the immense body Of the
American people, as unmoved and indiffer-
ent to the mimic whirlwinds which ragein
the contracted minds of few nullifers, as
the ocean is to tempest in a teapot. Be
fore one solitary link can be broken in the
golden chain which unites our glorious band
If republican States, the American people
must be consulted-the mighty millions of
farmers, mechanics and tradesmen-the Ia
boring and producing classes men who
have interests to be affected by a change of
government, and who have not the most re-
mote intention Of permitting those interests
to be tampered with. without their knowl-
edge and consent. Whenever the Union is
dissolved, it will not be dissolved by Con
gress. The people viii unmake, as they
made, the government, 1t was their work;
they built it up; it is conSecrated by their
blood; all their earthly treasures are depOs-
tied nit. Depend pom it, they have au-
thorised no men or set of men, either in
Congress or out of it, either directly or in
directly, to pull down that structure. That
is work they reserve to themselves.

ROME TO BE BURNT OR SWALLOWED UP.-Dr.
Cumming, in his Apocalyptic Sketches, and many
other authors, have asserted, as their interpre-
tation of some parts of the Apocalypse. that
Rome will be destroyed by fire from Heaven, or
swallowed up by earthquakes, overwhelmed
with destruction by volcanoes, as the visible
punishment of the Almighty for its popery and
its crimes Townsend, in his g Journal of a
Tour" says he is unwilling to deduce any aren-
ment of this kind from the prophecies which
are unfulflled; but he beheld everywhere-in
Rome, near Rome, and through the whole coun-
try of Italy from Rome to Napes-the most as
founding proofs, not merely of the possibility,
but of the exceeding probability, that the whole
region of central Italy will one day suffer under
such catastrophe. The soil of Rome is tufa
of volcanic origin; the smell of the SULPHUR
which is found to be most dsagreeable, must be
the result of volcanic subterranean action still
going on. At Naples the boiling sulphur is seen
bubbling near the surface of the earth. When
stick was drawn along the ground the sulphu-
reous smoke followed the indentation and Mr.
Townsend says 1t would never surprise him to
hear of the utter destruction of the entire pen
insula of Italy
