The Oxygenated BitterS.

For years medical science had been taxed and
the skin of the physician exhausted in the hope
of discovering some remedy available to cure
that most distressing of all diseases-Dyspepsia,
as well as its long train Of evils under their va
rious names.
No medicine existed which would speedily,
permanently, effeetually, and radically cure and
expel these diseases from the system until DR.
GREEN made known his discovery of
The Oxygenated Bitters.
Such ia its remarkable power and popularity,
that cases which for years have bafied the most
potent medicine and the highest professional
skill, yield to this remedy as readily as if the
disease were but of days standing, For all
diseases Of the Stomach and Digsstivs organs,
and for General Debility it is equally salutary
and certain.

INTERESTING FROM Mr. LINcoLN's
HOME The Springfield Journal of
Dec 90, has a startling leader on Sc
cession, which, from the particular re-
lations of the paper to the President
elect has great. Significance.
1t says that South Carolina cannot
dissolve the Union by the simple pas
sage of resolutions or other passive
demonstrations Her federal officers
may resign, and she may close her
courts and post Offices, but she cannot
get out Of the Union until she con-
quers this government While this
government endnres, there can be no
disunion. If South Car. lima does
not obstruct the collection of the rev.
enues at her ports, nor violate any
other federal law, there will be no
trouble, and she will not be cut of the
Union. If she violates the law then
comes the tug of war. The President
of the United States, in such an emer-
gency, has a plain duty to perform.
Mr.. Buchanan msy shirk it, or the
emergency may not exist during his
administration. If not, then the Uni
on will last through his term Of Office.
If the over act on the part Of South
Carr lakes place on or after the
lst Of Mich, 1861. the duty of exc
cutting the laws will deyolve upon Mr..
Lincoln. The laws of the United
States must be executed. The Presi-
dent has no discre .ionary power on
the subject. His duty is emphatically
pronounced in the constitution. Mr..
Lincoln will perform that duty. Dis
union by armed force is treason, and
treason must and will be put down al
all hazards.

at the battle of the Nile, was strue6
on the head by shot, and immediate

eyinced no signs of intelligence. He
was then trepanned and consciousness
returning at the close of the operation
he Immediately began busying himself
to see the orders carried out that he
had given during the battle fifteen
months previously. The clockwork of
the brain, unaware that it had been
stopped, upon being set going again,
pointed to the exact minute at which
it left off. These sudden revivls of
lost intelligence almost rival in their
dramatic effect the effect of the Princes

inmates of the royal household, who
had gone to sleep hundred years before,
leaped suddenly into life and motion
as though they had only for moment

TERRIBLE CoLLIERY EXPLOSION
One HUNDRED AND SEVENTY LIVES
LosT.-The- Newport correspondent
of the London Times, states that the
effects of the colliery explosion near
Risca, on Saturday morning, were
more terrible than at first supposed,
for instead of 100 persons having fall
len victims, the probability is that at
least so more are dead, ana that the
fearful roll will swell to at least ITO
names One portion of the workings
is now discovered to have fallen in,
cutting off all communication With so
or 10 persons beyond. To reach them
will occapy considerable time, and but
little expectation is entertained that
any of them will be found alive.
When the explosion occurred, above
200 men and boys were in the pit, of
whom only about thirty have escaped.
On Saturday week one of the work
man was summoned for taking the key
Of a safety lamp into the pit, and it
was deposed by the overman that two
other men were detected with nails in
their possession, intended doubtless to
be used in opening the safety lamps
to obtain lights for smoking These
things show the recklessness of the
men, and point probably to the origin
of the explosion.
