! D6rHEADAoHs is tho favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state Of the brain, and View
ed in this light it may be looked on as' safe
guard intended to give ,otice.of disease which
might otherwise escape attention, till, too late
to be remedied; and its indications should
never be neglected. Headaches may be class
flied under two names, viz: Spmptomatic and
Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headachei is exceed
ingly common and is the precursor Of q great
variety of diseases, among which are Apo
plexy, Gout, Rheumatism and oil febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic
OF disease Of the stomach constituting SICK
headache, of hepathlc disease constituting BIZ
tous headache, Of worms, constipation and other
disorders Of the bowels, as well as renal and
uterine affections. Diseases Of the heart are
very frequently attended with Headaches; An
eemia and plethora are also affections which
frequently occasion headache. 1diopathic
Headache is also very common, being usually
distinguished by the name of nervous headache,
sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of
apparently sound health and prostrating at
once the mental and physical energies, and in
other instances it comes on slowly, heralded
by depression of spirits or acerbity Of temper.
In most instances the pain is in the front of
the head, over one or both eyes, and sometimes
provoking vomiting; under this class may also
DO named Neuralgia.
For the treatment Of either class Of Head
ache the Cepbalic Pills have been found sure
and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains
in few minutes, and by its subtle power Grad
icating the diseases Of which Headache is the
unerring index.

Secession.

Our local columns show that our Junior
has seeded from our position on secession,
and that he quotes the n: y. Times to
oonfound us. Very good-we like to see
the young folks think for themselves; and
if the Southern States injured the North
by leaving the Union, we should at once
say they have no right to sccede without
the consent of all the States. Having all
voluntarily entered the Union for separate
and mutual benefit, one party can have no
right to leave, to the loss and injury Of
the remaining parties, without first obtain
ing their consent; but the secession Of the
whole South would be benefit to the
North. With Thomas Jefferson, we see
that s'uothing is more certainly written in
the book of fate than that these people
(the slaves) are to be free" II that free
dom can be brought about by peaceable,
voluntary action, there would still be much
pcrplexity and trouble in the transition
and if it is to be by the other alternative,
foreseen by Observation-Disclosures and blood
shed-the mind recoils in horror from the
contemplation; but in either case, the
North being fully partners in the great
guilt of slavery, are morally bound to
stand by the weaker portion Of the Union
and sec it safely through. Honor and
generosity forbid that she should shirk the
responsibility she has voluntarily assumed,
but if the parties to be benefited, refuse to
accept, there is no rule of honor or honesty
to compel her to force her protection and
assistance upon them. If the South 60
cedes she hastens the day Of emancipation
makes it almost certain to come with viz
lence, and freely exhonerates the NORTH
from any obligation to share the danger
and the loss, and if the Cotton States an
bent on doing a magnanlmous thing W
may deprecate, beg leave to decline avail
ing ourselves of the benefits OF her gener
GUS mood; but We have no right to com
pei her to accept our assistance in the tn
ais she resolves to court.
The idea Of getting up a cin' war II
order to compel the weaker States to re
main in the Union, appears to u, horrible
in the last degree. Threats Of force Ar
wicked and monstrous, as tending to exas
perate set of men little better than mani
acs now. Let the North show a promp
willingness to make fair and equitab]
settlement with the seeding States, an
set them at rest about arming the State
to repel Northern coercion and we sha
have comparative quiet: We can see n
good reason Why the two confederaciee
.shead not live in as much harmony, 9
least, as that which: has existed. for som
fine past or = likely to do in the future

,Agrioulture..

B The Farmer & Gardener recommends
mulcting trees and shrubs with coarse ma d
nure, &c., to protect the roots from frost ,
but what about the mice viii not these
vermin take shelter in any such nest, and
cat the bark of the tree, thus Killing it
quite as e8ectually as frost can dol? -
PROTECT Your TREEs.-Do not forget
to shade the South West side of your fruit
trees, by mailing board against them, or
tying on layer of straw or weeds. It is
the bole which requires protection from
the rays of tho afternoon sun. The bran
ches being in more horizontal positions, do
not 50 directly receive the rays, and pro.
tect one another. Try this plan, it is cheap
and easy. 4 1:,>A = -: vi. > -, 5'..'

W1NTER.-Old Monsieur. Winter ar
rived last week, just in time to be too late
to have his arrival announced in our last,
thus giving the St. Paul dailies the advan-
tage of informing our citizens of the fact
in advance of US. It looks like conspir-
acy to injure our business, but we must do
the old Hoary King the justice to say that
he came in royal state.
Late on Wednesday evening there was
not speck of ice visible on the river
Thursday Mr. Fowler had to bring up all
his resources to rescue his ferry boat from
the rush Of anchor ice from up river
Sunday morning the old Father Of Waters
was a prisoner, bound hard and fast; but
rallying his forces he broke away surging,
struggling, rushing, foaming. Steadily,
grimly the old monarch clutched him, and
in two hours he lay white and STILL
Again and again he rallied to shake off
the tyrant's grasp, but III twenty-four hours
the struggle was over, and old Winter sits
a conquerer on his silent breast Which
is to say, the river is frozen over as tight
as BRICK and the mail was not delayed
in crossing but once for few hours. Our
bridges are all built, and we are free to
travel whithersoever We please without fer

Minnesota Railroads.

The Winona Republican has the fol-
lowing sensible article on our Railroad
matters. We arc assured by parties who
ought to know, that the statement made
by the Republican is correct, and in fact
we have seen the contract, so that there is
no roon for doubt. This Railroad mat
ter needs careful and deliberate consid-
Grafton, and with that view we copy the
article from the Republican: -:
MINNESOTA RA1LRoADs.-The social
ed Minnesota Central Railroad Compa-
n.y." early in the field and much vaunted
by the attaches Of its corporators, is not
likely to be the sole aspirant for getting
possession Of the land*grants, railroad beds,
and the franchises pertaining thereto
We learn on competent authority that a
wealthy and responsible eastern company,
now in possession of one of the leading
thoroughfares in the country, propose and
have contracted to take what is known as
tho Minnesota and Pacific Railroad, and
put the same in running order, from St..
Paul to St. Cloud, during the year 1861;
and from St. Anthony and Minneapolis to
the Eastern Boundary of Meeker county,
and from St. Paul to Saltwater, before the
close of the year 1862. AS We are inform
ed, this Company require no further issue
Of State Bonds, no legislation for those
that are already out, nor any special favors
other than this that the state shall, upon
the completion of SO much of the road as
is above designated, release its securities
thereupon; OF, in other::words, transfer them
without incumbranee, to the company per-
forming the contract. ~: : ->::o>s -.
IF this statement Of the proposition be
correct one-as we believe it to bet
is, to say the least, more compatible with
the interests of the State, aud Of the
several communities therin, than the prop
osition Of the "Central Railroad Com
pany," before alluded to-n6t merely in
that it seeks no special legislation in its
behalf, butthat it also tends to judicious
division of the Railroad interests of the
State-an object which, in young. and
comparatively powerless commonwealth
like Minnesota, should be attained at any
reasonable sacrifice.-&. Paul Times.
