Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

Scrofula, or Kings Evil
is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the veneresl infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in 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, "I
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from ths
blood Of corrupt or nlceroes matter, which, In
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptons or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depressss
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conss-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in tho
system. Most of the consumption which do
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all 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.
fection, and their health is undermined by il.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovata
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

OF this elaborate table the Economist adds

OF this elaborate table the Economist adds
In 1850, trade was extending, as was evinced by
the weekly increase Of the other securities at the
Bank Of England. very uneasy feeling prevailed
as to the relations between Austria and Prussia.
Silver continued to be exported to the continent
in large quantities, but the bullion in the bank
showed an increase. Doubtless at this time great
exchanges between gold and silver were being
made under the idea that should the discoveries of
gold continue the prices would approximate. Sill
yer has risen this week to 6l4 u oz.
l857.-In 1857 the bank return was very re-
markable one, as it showed that the Act Of ls45
had been infrfnged by an over-issue oftwo millions
of notes, of which the amount left in the banks
Golfers was f1 ,552 ,6S6. Two millions of Govern
ment securities had been transferred from the
Banking to the Issue Department. The bank had
| also sold large amounts of Government securities,
but the increase in the private securities was still
| rapid. The failures in the Swedish trade had
commenced, and the Wolyerhampton and Stafford
| shire banks had stopped payment. The exchanges
however, were rising rapidly, and there were other
indications of coming turn for the better in the
| money market.
| 1s5s.-En 1858 very confident feeling prevailed
in financial circles in France, aud the ct. rentes
had risen to 1920. At home the payments were in
progress on the Second India Debenture Loan.
i 1s59.-In 1853, the East India Railway having
! contracted Debenture Loan of 81 600 600, or
which get had been paid, preparations were be

CRESCENT OFFICE, No. 10 Camp street
Saturday Morning. Dec. s, 1860.
We have again to notice stringent money mar
ket and further decline in Exchange, and the diff
Guilty to negotiate Bills has caused falling off
in our leading staple. In Tobacco there has been
but little movement at full prices. In Sugar the
higher grades have steadily advanced, and the mar
ket closes with an upward tendency. In Molasses
we noticed an advance.
CoTToN. In our last weekly report we noticed
sales of about ~ 500 bales, the market closing
at a decline Of Ic., since which there has been a
slight Improvement with but little change nprices,
but good Cottons from Middling up have been in
limited supply, and commanded full prices. The
sales of the week have embraced about 39,700
bales, of which 1900 on Saturday 6000 on Mon
day, 5000 on Tuesday, ll,dOo on Wednesday, 5000
on Thursday and $500 yesterday. We now quote:

The quantity of cotton transported for the same
month for three years past compares as follows:

The road is now under full repairs. 1t has been
interrupted by the same causes which have inter-
dicted travel on other roads throughout the coun.
try, viz storms of rains and floods. OF course, it
cannot be expected that Southern railroads possess
an immunity in this respect from Northern rail
roads. It is gratifying to learn that the Jackson
Railroad maintains high reputation for punctual-
ity and fathfuness.
1t is hardly necessary to alude to Stocks and
Bonds. There is no market, no sales for bank
shares. There has been talk of some stocks hav-
ing been offered at very low figures. We do not
know why the shares of banks, particularly the
free banks, are not worth just as much to-day as
they were six or eight weeks ago. We are not
aware that these banks, nor the old banks, have
met with any losses as yet.
The outside or miscellaneous companies such as
the Pontehartraiu Railroad Company, the Gulf Line
Dry Dock Company and the old Canal Bank, will
make a dividend during the MONTH The Pontchar-
train pays 81 Oct, and the Gulf Line Dock Com
pany has declared dividend of 10 get out of the
earnings for the last six months, payable on the
10Th inst, leaving yet. to be carried to reserve
fund, making the total earning for six months Is a9
ct. Good dividends could not come in better
time, as the holidays at hand.
We omit our usual table of quotations. zz
In uncurrent money there has been very light
| transactions for the week. One or two brokers
are buying the issues of most all banks, as usual
though at great rates of discount, such as South
Carolina and Georgia at lot@15 f3et. discount
Tennessee banks at about the same Kentucky
banks at from 3@5 get. dis.
Very little doing in coin and bullion. No receipts
of Mexican dollars this week. The receipts of gold
from New York have been 1926, ,000 say 100000 to
the Bank of Louisiana, and SIPS 900 to private
houses. The Louisiana State Bank has s100, 900 en-
route. There have also been received about $780,
loo in doubloons from Havana. As they cannot be
recoined at cur mint unless at great loss, it is
presumed, after being retained here for two or
three weeks, they will be going back to Havana;
in the interim fulfilled the purposes Of Importation,
Land warrants are dull, and, Of course, lower
rates will follow.

The increase of passengers for October last over

for the month show falling off, which is readily
and satisfactorily accounted for. The great storm

an interruption to travel of more than twenty days

It is of no use to talk of sixty day bills, for we
hardly know of remitter, debtor of the North,

or grocer that would touch sixty day bill, even if
it was drawn on Black Republican merchant in
