Resot0ed, That for the purpose carrying out our
views IN this matter and for the purpose of taking
such other steps for our protection as State
which may hereafter arise, we believe a call of an
extra session is necessary, and we therefore re-
specially ask of the Executive of this State to con-
vene, as speedily as may be, the Legislature
Resotced, That while we believe that our gallant
little sister, South Carolina, has been Influenced in
the steps which she has taken by what she be-
ieVes to be high sense of patriotic duty; and
while we feel no disposition to take from her one
lot or little CT the glory which she is Justly entitled
to Tor efforts to maintain Southern rights we still
think we have right to ask her, as q sister State
whose interests, feelings and rights are identical
with hers: and in view OF the memories of the past
when the best blood of her sons and Maryland's
sons was freely spilled at Camden, Eutaw, and the
CoWpens, to withhold for a time her action; with
declaration on our part, that if this unhappy con-
troversy cannot be adjusted upon fair and honora-
Bile grounds that we will not stand idly by and see
an attempt made from any quarter to coerce her;
and toprevent which, we pledge our lives our
fortunes and our sacred honors.

CURE FOR CHAPPED HANDs.-As there are MANY
housekeepers who suffer at this season with chapped
hands, we publish for their information the follow
ing recipe, which commitment assures US is eff
fective as cure, having made personal trial of it:
w ash the hands clean in warm water; then take
common lamp oil and grease them well. Rub the
oil in thoroughly and wipe with dry rag. Prac-
tise this every morning for week or so, and the
cracks will leave the hands, and the skin will be-
come soft.-Norfolk Argus.
