NJ sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy

III Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, whichhas been recently offered
to the public is attracting great attention, moi only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af-
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy Of his ''rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for a very common disease, which
has been so ongneeded, has attractedthe attention
OF all sufferers from headache who have heard of il.
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives, and that IL will
prove 10 be great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial-Lynn Netcs, December %, 1853.

MIR. HUNTERS SPEECH.

We devoted large portion Of our paper OF
yesterday, to the able and instructive address
recently delivered by Senator Hunter, before
the Virginia Historical Society The publica-
tion is continued and concluded to-day. The
perusal of this classical and highly finished
production cannot fail to give pleasure to our
readers and to compensate them for the want
OF our usual variety Of matter.
The design Of Mr.. Hunter, in this address, is
to trace to its full development the political
freedom Of Virginia from the indyidualizing
system of her colonial government. The early
love Of liberty among her people, their impa.
tence under restraint, their jealousy of power,
are all due in the highest degree to the compari.
tive non-interference on the part of government
with the individual rights and personal liberty
Of the citizen. The great political Virginia
idea, for which she has contended, and which
she has taught to the world is, that the Govern.
ment is the creature Of the people, and that the
rights Of the latter are restrained by, but not
derived from the former. This principle at last
is the basis of all rational liberty.
The colonial history of Virginia furnishes q
remarkable example, to which Mr.. Hunter al.
lndes in his discourse, of the early attempt
made by that colony to resist the expressions
of the mother country. 1t is remarkable
fact, too little known or remembered, that ex.
actly one hundred years before the Declaration
of American Independence, an attempt was
made in Virginia, which well nigh proved sue
cessful, to redress the very grievances which
afterwards gave rise to the American revolu-
tion, and resulted in the independence Of the
United Colonies. 1t is true that the loyal his
torians Of the period, anxious, at the sacrifice
Of truth, to uphold the power Of the crown,
have characterized this early movement as re-
bellion, and denounced its bold and generous
leader as traitor But even these imperfect
records afford abundant evidence of The genius
and patriotism of Nathaniel Bacon, and of the
purity and justice of his cause.
The discourse of Mr.. Hunter we commend
to our readers as exhibiting much research,
aud replete with chaste and classical thoughts
1t is gratifying to his numerous admirers to
see that Senator Hunter has not forgotten, in
the maze Of federal politics, to devote his tai
ents and attention to the history of his native
State. and that he can thus find time, amid his
numerous arduous duties, TO enrich his highly
cultivated mind with the flowers of literature
The stately column loses none of its strength
by being adorned with the Corinthan capital.

The United States mail steamer Crescent
City, which arrived at New York on the lith
instant, brings he tidings that great excite.
ment prevails at Havana. 1t was repo rted
that the Boscawen, an English ship, in going
to Havana, met fleet Of American vessels,
crowded with men. This report created the
most intense excitement and agitation. 1t set
the whole Spanish feet astir, and gave rise
10 the apprehension that the American Fill
busters were at last coming. There was also
q report that the troops at Pinal Del Rio had
mutinied. Many wealthy, intelligent, and in
fuential persons we're arrested and thrown into
prison. Those arrested were
AT HAvANA--D. Ramona Pinto, ID. Jose
Antonio Echevarria, ID. Jose Cadalzo, Messrs.
Balbron, father and two sons, and about nine
more.
AT MATASzAs-D. Benigo Gener, the adj

about forty others.

OF alarm, and is represented by some Of the
letter writer's as being almost beside himself
The rumor--an idle and unfounded rumor-
was that General Quitman was in command of
the Fillibusters. II was rumored that an at
tempt was made on the life of General Concha,
on the night ofthe 9Th. The palace was illumin-
ated with gas, which was suddenly turned of,
when the supposed conspiracy was discovered,
and eighty of the leaders in it arrested, includ.
ing Concha's Secretary and two Americans.

ticket to the famous Meschianza Ball, given
at Philadelphia by the British officers; this
card was richly illustrated by drawings on it
made by Major Andre. OF these and other
curious matters he had a large collection.
His history Of the capture of Washington
was the only one extant that gave an intelligi-
BILE account of that mortifying incident; and
he had collected for second edition much
matter which that publication had brought to
his knowledge.
His collection Of matter in reference to the
Bank Of the United States, Of which he was a
government director, appointed by General
Jackson, is, undoubtedly, the largest and most
complete in the country, and at this date, prob
ably, no amount of money could secure a
similar one.
Our friends Of the South, will find some
valuable contributions to American history,
not only in the books themselves, but also, in
the great collection Of matter inserted.
There must be, even now, very large col
lection belonging to this library, collected and
prepared by Mr.. !. for insertion in some Of
his many books.
Perhaps no library in the country has ever
been offered for sale, to which such large and
valuable contributions were made by their
owner.
We doubt not that all the public libraries
will find occasion to select many Of the works
offered.
We greatly regret that a more full and de-
tailed catalogue had not been made Of this
truly rare and valuable library. This cata-
logue can be had Of NJ. Thomas & Sons, auc-

. THE DISCOVERY OF THE MISSISSIPPI
BY DE SOTO.

Yesterday a great crowd assembled in the
rotunda Of the Capitol attracted by the exhibi-
ton of the new painting, completing the set Of
historical pictures ordered by Congress, for the
ornament Of this building. The feeling ex-
pressed by the visitors was evidently one of
pleasure and appreciation; and though the
study Of so complex subject as that embraced
inthe canvass, requires more time than single
visit, however long it may be, nobody could
deny the fact Of its complete success.
The painting Of Mr.. Powell, represents the
discovery Of the Mississippi by De Soto. In the
far of horizon the Father Of Waters is seen ma
jestically rolling through an incommensurable
space. The poetry Of the wilderness is stamped
upon the landscape and each succeeding flood
seems TO Indicate the existence Of new undis-
covered regions, the secret OF which is only
known TO that unparalleled river. On the banks
Of il, just trodden by European feet, we see DE
Soto on q magnificent horse. Struck by the
immensity Of the picture under his eyes, be
seems TO be insensible to the offer made "a
HIM by tribe Of Indians kneeling at his feet
lie Is followed by soldiers Of all countries
dressed in different armors according to their
nationality some on foot, others riding, al
seeming anxious to contemplate the unknown
panorama rolling itself before them.
The frightened appearance Of the animals
at the sight Of the Indians, the moving of the
cannon, the sight Of the wounded soldiers, tho
rushing Of the army, and the clash Of arms
aro marked in strong features on the diferen
grounds Of the picture, II is one Of thu
strongest descriptions Of active life we have
ever beheld--and we doubt whether the pencj
