ScrOIula. or Kings Evil,


is a constitutional disease. a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor Being in the circulation, it
pcrvades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all. hv the vcnerCal infection. What
ever he its origin, it is hereditary III the con-
stitution, descending - from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation : indeed,
It seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, IS termed
tubcrclaS; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface. eruptons or sores. This fou! cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depreSses
the energies of life, so that scrofuous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other Diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulOus in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint IN the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of al the organs, arise from or
are aggravated By the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.
TO cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply III

A Fillibuster Of the better sort.

Hon. Eli Thayer, Representative in
Congress, from the Worcester, Mass,
District, is fillibuster, not Of the Walk
or stamp but ofthe genuine Yankee kind
that conqucrs countries with plows, SHOW
els pickaxes, sawmills, and their accom-.
paniments. The discussion Of the neu-
trality laws in Congress, growing out Of
the failure of the attempt Of the "grcy
eyed Walker" to take Nicarauga, afford
ed Eli an opportunity to deliver himself
of speech, in which he sets forth that
Central America must be Americanized,
and that we can do il, and that we are
going to do it, not with pistols, bowie
knives, and rifles, but with such imple-
ments as subsoil ploughs axcs and garden
seeds. Meeting the 6llibusters Of the
South on their own ground Of "manifest
destiny" Eli adroitly turns the tables on
the Southern fillibusters, by showing them
tha, the fillibustering army which is to
conquer Central America must come from
the North instead Of the South, and that
the army must be u wcll-appointed one

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
ZZZVTB CONGRESS LIST SESSION.

The Senate, Tuesday, Jan. l3. repealed
the act of 1856, which authorized tho Sec.
rotary of the Navy to change the names oil
vessels in certain cases. A petition for tho
establishment Of Geographic line from
Missouri to the South Pass, via Fort Lara
mic, was presented.
The House, after receiving tho Central
American Message Of the President, and a
resolution layi rg the Constitution of Min.
nesota before Congress, went into Committee
OF the whole on the State of the Union.
In the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr.. Doolit-
tie introduced joint resolution, providing
for the presentation of q medal to Comma
dore Paulding, and Mr.. Brown gave notice
Of an amendment thereto, to the effect that

Walker, the Neutrality laws, &c.
In the Senate on thursday, q resolution
requiring the Secretary Of the Interior to

In the House, Mr.. Kelly presented petit.
tions from 5000 citizens OF New York pray.
ing Tor q law to give the public lands to
actual settlers.
The Senate, on Friday, was not in session.
In the House, long debate took place on
the subject of the alleged bribery Of Mem
bers Of Congress by Lawrence, Stone Il Co.
and an order was adopted for its investiga-
ton.
In the Senate, on Monday, Mr.. Hale made
an able speech on Kansas affairs. Ho read
from one of Mr.. Buchanan's former speech.
Is, in which he declared that "all Christen.
dom is leagued against the South on this
question Of domestic slavery" or course.
remarked Mr.. ii. the South can have no al
lies except those who are out of Christendom.

say in tho next sentence-"They have no
other allies to sustain their Constitutional
rights, except tho democracy Of the North.
There's fight for you! All Christcndom
on one side, and the Democrats OF the North
on the other! (Ilearty outbursts Of laugh

in the advocacy Unpopular
rights continues to receive the sdmira-
ton of the world. Mr.. Z. is a union
saver, and belongs TO that class Of them
who would save the Union and lose their
honor. His lecture is in part grand in
vocation to all men to soften their spinal
columns, whenever southern bravado frets
and fumes and threatens to destroy the
goodly proportions ofthe beautiful edifce,
iftheir desires are not granted. 1t is too
bad that he has availed himself Of WASH
ington's character to do this mean work,
and to press into the service the farewell
advice Of the father Of his country for
such purpose. Washington's whole
life was living denial Of the idea that
union was better than freedom, and OPP
preston and tyranny to be endured,
rather than to have division with free
dom. Thus much for Mr.. Els lecture
The music Of his polished sentences is
still vibrating on our ears, and his bril-
liant comparisons and descriptions, like
some gorgeous yet peaceful landscape
where the harmonies Of light and shade
arrange themselves in most delicate pro-
portions fill our mental vision, and his
graceful attitudes will linger long still

ApJUrASr GENERALS Report. Ac'
cording to this report, copy Of which
has been sent us, the number returned by
the assessors under the second section Of
the law of 1866, as liable to enrolment,
is G3,GO4. Many towns neglected to
make returns.
The returns Of the present and absent
members of active, disciplined companies
at the May inspection, shows that 1910
appeared, and 594 members were absent
from the inspection. The total of those
who do military duty, and preserve a
drill is 1864, too small aproportion OF
the G3,694 who are Liable to do military
duty, and q much less number than
would qualify themselves for military ser
vices, were the military affairs ofthe state
conducted on mors liberal scale.
AT the close of 1856 there were 43
volunteer companies under organization
Within the year 1857, six new compa'
MES have been organized.
An appropriation of saosl will be re-
quircd for the expenses of the military for
the past year. In addition $3.50 have
been expended on the arsenal at Port
land.
The military property Of the State con-
sists of forty-four pieces Of ordnance, $500
carbimes, muskets, muskctoons, and rifles,
fourteen Colts revolvers, $50 pistols, 442
sabres, 730 artillery swords.
The Adjutant General believes that the
spirit as well as the form of thclaw of the
U. S. requiring each State to keep up an
organization Of the militia, should be
complied with, to greater extent at least
than it is now. Aside from the necessity
of an armed force to insure the suppress
sion of any internal feuds, he has in his
mind "another potent reason for the cx-
crcise of arms" and that is its tendency
to devclope the physical capacities Of our
young men-to improve their viSor and
manly bearing. Military drill, he thinks
should constitute part ofthc education Of
every young man-"to dcvelopc his mus
cular system,-to teach him to stand and
to raik, and to be what nature designed
him to be, an erect, firm and energetic
man."
