CANDIDATES TOR CONGRESS FROM THE SECOND DlsrRrcr.-During our Circuit Court at Brownsville, last week, we had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Dr. JAMES M. LYoY, of Arkansas county. The Doctor delivered an address at the Court House on Wednesday, an- nouncing himself as candidate for Con- gress from this, the Second District. The positions he assumed, and the principles he enunciated, were in accordance with the old landmarks Of the democratic party. He also favored the re.opening of the African Slave trade--,he extension of territory on the continent and the acquisi. tion of Cuba. The Doctor is a gentle man of commanding appearance, fine so- cial qualities, and like all good democrats in his position, will abide the decision of f a Dis,ric. Convention in nominating can. didate for Congress.
 Cor. B. w. GAxrr.-This gentleman, who is at present the Prosecuting Attorney in the Sixth Judicial Court, is strongly urged by his friends as a man in every respec, qualified to represent the Second District in Congress. A correspondent of the Old-Line Democrat, speaks as follows of the Colonel:
 In the able discharge of his duties, as prosecuting officer, for the pas. five years and upwards, he has won for himself the lasting confidence, honor, and respect, of the people generally, and haey wW not desert him. Indeed, he is sure of the nomination from nearly, if not quite. all the ten counties composing this judicial circuit. This, you are aware, speaks we'll for him; since, at home, where best known, he will be unanimously supported. But this IS not all. Col. Can't, am confident, will receive the nomination. abope any man, in large number of counties out side of this judicial circuit; and as he is emphatically the man, above all others yet aspiring to the office of Federal Repre-. sentative, in this District, can but feel confident of his obtaining the nomination, at the Philadelphia convention, next Spring. As for Dr. C. B. Michel, Col. Flournoy and others, whose names have been spoken of in connection with this office, l certainly think, they stand not the shadow of chance before the people with | Col. Can't.

CONGRESS SrATrsTIcs.--Some pains- taking contemporaries of ours have been nalyizing the forthcoming Congress, and have come to the following conclusions, which may interest the curious in such matters. There are nine members of the next House of Representatives whose seats will be contested. ll5 of the 237 members elect were also members of the last Congress. Cobb, of Alabama, is the member who has been consecutively elect oftenest. Of Smiths (nsirable diciu! the new Congress can only boast one. There are four by the name of Davis, three Washburns, all brothers, and large num- Der of instances of the same being owned by two members.

GEN. Jo. LANEIN FLoRrDA.-The "In. dependent published at Lake City 1T Florida, thus speaks of the gallant old hero who, from all appearances, will bt the next Democratic candidate for the Presidency:
 The favor which has attended the mention of Gen. Lanes name in connec- ton with the Presidency has been a mat ter of no surprise. It is one of those ma. tural results that attend distinguished ability, adorned with distinguished virtue and unmarred by undue ambition. Gen. Lanes reputation as hero and States man comes not from wire-working politi- clans, who expect to be rewarded with fat offices for their services; nor from paid political sheets who hang around the portals and palatal saloons. eager on eve " occasion to gather the glowing crumbs from some office seeking aspirant's table but it flows from an honest and straight forward course of conduct in the service of his country. On the battlefield of Mexico, hero; in the councils of the nation--a Statesman.
 Uncommitted to any clique, possessing sterling integrity and moral courage, sound to the core upon all national ques- tions, we think Gen. Lane is safe and competent man for any station that the people of the nation may call him to fill Unlike Judge Douglas, Gen. Lane quietly moves on in the discharge of his official duties or those of private life, among his fellow-citizens of the Far West, as if no unusual mention had been made of his name in the older States, while MT. Douglas, not content with the efforts of his friends, is writing essays and making stump speeches through the country with as much zeal as if the Presidential can. vass was actually on hand, and he can- didate for elector.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pcgyades 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 taint is yariously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth, and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in tho constitution, descending " from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation" indeed, it seems to he the rod of Him wlo says, "I will visit the iniquitics of the fathers upon their children"
 Its effects commence by deposition from tie blood of corrupt or ulceroUs matter, which, in the lungs, livcr and internal organs. is termed tubercles; in the glands sweings; and on the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul corrup- tio1, which gcnders i'll tho blood, dcpresses the energies of life, SO that scrofuious constitutions not only suffer from scrcfuious complaints, but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other diseases: consequently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofu- lous in their nature are still rendered fatal by this taint in tho system. Most Of thc consump- ton which dec;matcs the human family has it's origin directly in this scrofulous contamination and many destructive diseases of the liver, kid neys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, ariso from or arc aggravated by the same scausc.
 One quarter of all our people arc scrofuious their persons are invaded by this lurking nfcc- tion, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system VIC must rcnovate tho blood by an alterativc medicine, and iavi.orate it by healthy food and exercise. Such mcdi- cine we supply in

AYERS Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most cfTectual remedy whic,, tho medical skill of our times can devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal maady. It is combined from the most active rcmctials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul dsor- der from tho blood, and the rescue of the sys- tenn from its destructive consequences. Hence 1t should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affections which arise from it, such as ERuPT1vE and SKIN D1s- EASES, ST. ANrHoNY's FIRE, RosE, or FRY sIrELAs, P1NrLEs, PUsTULEs, BLoTcHEs, BLA1Ns and Bo1Ls, TUMoEs, TErTER, and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM, RHEUMATIssI. SYPH1LITIc and MERcURIAL DISEASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM V1TIArED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief in "impmity ef the UoOd," is founded in truth, for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa- parilla is to purify and rcgeneratc this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions
