NIr. Beecher on Fear and Panic.

Henry Ward Beecher, in his sermon
on Sunday morning, developed the idea
of Gods presence and controlling power
in the affairs of the world, and the con-
sequent folly Of panic and fear. "Possi-
bly, it may occur to you, he said, that
[ am preaching about affairs of to-day
in New York-perhaps drifting toward
politics. Well, perhaps 1 am; and if it
will do you any good. l have no objec-
ton to your thinking so. 1t does me
good-heart good-to see all things go
ing just right, and all men crying and
boohooing about it. When everything
is straight, people fearing to be eaten by
dragons; good Christian men praying and
singing all day Sunday, and getting on
as far as Tuesday, when little trouble
comes, and forgetting their prayers and
their songs, they cry out, and rEsh to
their chests-to their money-their
stocks and bonds-and look to each other
and to great men for comfort and conso-
lation. Oh, ye fools! oh, ye fools!-
Does not the God of Omnipotence reign,
and does he sleep forgettul of those mat
ters precious to him as the apple of his
eve? Be men-be Christians-or die at
once. Can you take counsel Of your
money bags? fear they are your gods,
that they are your idols. Don't let us
be temper tossed; but ask which way
points righteousness, justice, humanity,
truth, social purity, public faith. Do
right-Bank up or Bank down, we
should desire above all things the sue
cess of Gods cause. Who will miss us
after we are gone? We are but pale,
half burned bricks, good to fll in with
but of little account after all If we are
only safe in Christs love, if he is our
mediator and our friend, we shall be well
enough off in the end-and the now
should always be subservient to- the end

CONSTIPATION or Costiveness.

No one OF the 'many ills flesh is heir to- is
so prevalent, so little understood, and so much
neglected as COstveness. Often originating in
corelessness, or sedentary habits it is regarded
as slight disorder OF too little consequence to
excite anxiety, while in reality it is the pre-
cursor and companion of many of the most
fatal and dangerous diseases, and unless early
eradcated it will bring the sufferer to an un-
timely grave. Among the lighter evils of
which costiveness is the usual attendant are
Headache, Colic Rheumatism, Foul Breath,
Piles and others of like nature, while Il long
train of frightful diseases such as Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentary, Darrhea, Dys-
pepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria,
Hypochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity,
first indicate their presence in the system by
this alarming symptom. Not unfrequently the
diseases named originate in Constipation, but
take on an Independent existence unless the
cause is eradieated in an early stage. From
all these conditions it follows that the disorder
should receive immediate attention whenever
1t occurs, and no person should neglect to get
box of Cephalie Pills on the first appearance
of the complaint, their timely use will expel
the insiduous approaches of disease and destroy
this dangerous foe to human life.

SECESSION IMPOsSIBLE-wHY SEN
ATOR TOOaIRS RESIGN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-South Car
olina has no courage to secede alone.
If she had, her Legislature would not
have called Convention to meet on the
18th of December. but would have acted
immediately. Before that time has ar
rived, the second sober thought will
have convinced the people of the Cotton
States that their safety and happiness
lie within, but not without the Union.
They have hardly commenced to carry
out their disunion follies, and already
their monetary affairs are in such state
that the Legislature must initiate the
policy of Austria, by authorizing the
banks to issue more shinplasters, hoping
that thereby they will be able to relieve
the embarrassment. But, instead of
benefit, the people Of South Carolina
will become still more involved, as the
neighboring States will not accept their
worthless paper money. Commercial
intercourse, even between the Cotton
States, will cease under such circum-
stances, and the people, especially the
property holders, will be glad If the flag
of thirty three States waves again above
their heads But not only financial en-
barrassment will make secession i'm
possible. There is too much good sense
left with. our Southern citizens, as that
they should court the rule Of Minute
Men and anarchy. The citizens Of
Augusta have already spoken, and 9th
ers will follow. They have denounced
the " reign of terror" which the Yam
ceys, Rhetts, Toombses, and other par
ticular friends of our worthy Chief
Magistrate want to introduce into their
midst. Besides, the new debts, created
by their Legislatures for preparing this
Don Quixotic enterprise of secession,
will fail heavily upon their shoulders.
In short; the postponement of the execu
tion of the disunion scheme till the 18th
ofDecemberist the death blow to disunion-
ISM.
Senotor Toombs has resigned-of
course, as everybody will presume, for
the benefit of disunionism. But that is
not so. His resignation is merely the
last card he has to play to get the re-
nomination of the Democratic members
of the Georgia Legislature for Senator.
He and Howell Cobb are running an
excited race for that position. Each
one wants to outdo the other in disu-
nionism, believing it just now to be fash
ionable with the Southern legislators
Nevertheless, it will help Mr.. Toombs
very little, as his power in his State is
entirely gone. Neither will Howell
Cobb get the nomination in the caucus,
as l know from very good sources that
he lacks sixteen votes (Which never will
be cast for him, to be successful.

What Virginia Will Do---NIississipp pi
Arming.


RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 1.-THE pur-
pose of Virginia to maintain a position
of avowed neutrality, until she is pre-
pared to tender her services as mediator
under the official sanction Of the .Legis-
lature or Convention called by its au-
thorities. She will meanwhile prepare
tor the worst, for if the States now
threatening to secede shall adopt her
programme, and that shall fail to be car
ried out by noncompliance on the part
Of the North, Virginia will unite in the
secession movement She will ask the
Southern States to go into Southern
conference with her, and it is understood
that they will go provided she lays down
beforehand the programme, which shall
form the basis of action, which will en-
brace first repeal of the statutes nulli
flying the Fugitive Slave Law by those
States which have passed such statute,
with a guarantee Of faithful enforce
ment of that law in the future.
Second, concession that the Consti-
tuition authorizes the carrying of slaves
into the common Territories and conse-
quent protection of slave property
therein.
Third, that neither Congress nor the
Executive shall interfere, except for its
protection in the latter when necessary.
Ten thousand stand of arms are now
being distributed in Mississippi by or
der of Gov Pettus.
Accounts recently received here rep
resent the State as almost unanimous for
secession.

Sam. Rot:ston on si,e Texas Troubles and
LincOln's Election.

A correspondent Of the Calves
Ne,cs, writing from independence,
Texas, October 21st, gives the following
sketch Of speech delivered there by
Governor Houston:
In regard to the recent raid and in
cendiarism in Texas, he said it had been
exaggerated and misrepresented by the
letters of 'that man Pryor, of Dallas"
the brother, he said, of Roger 4 Pryor
of Virginia, who had some time since
sent certain challenge. The fact was,
that there had been but one white man
hung in Texas for incendiarism-He Hern-
don Of Henderson-and two negroes;
and there never had been vial or bottle
of poison found in the possession of any
other negroes in this State-thus init
mating very clearly that the others that
were punished were unjustly punished.
AS to the house burnings, it had been
reported at one time that there were
fourteen houses burned in the city of
Austin, when in fact there was only IA
shanty or shed in the outskirts of the
city burned; and he accounted for the
burning of that by the carelessness of
the Dutch, who were lounging and
smoking there at the time
He said that this Pryor letter had
injured and was greatly injuring our
country; its effects were being felt every
where; our lands depreciating in value;
persons from other States were afraid to
immigrate here, and great many were
leaving our State. Only the other day
Il gentleman from Northern Texas had
told him that on his way in he had met
two hundred wagons with at least five
persons to each wagon, on their way to
Arkansas and kansas-some leaving fol
fear their negroes would be falsely. ac-
cused of incendiarism and, hung, and
others for fear they, not being slave
holders, might be charged with being
Abolitionists, and lynched. x =: x
However much he might regret the
election of Lincoln, still, if constitu-
tionally elected, he ought to and should
be inaugurated Yes! they would
have to walk over his dead body if he
was not"
The Governor was very severe or
Calhoun and South Carolina, but laudec
Benton, Clay and others He never
missed an opportunity to give thrust
and to heap abuse upon South Caroline
and her doctrines.

A Case of Parental lnhumanity.

A Case of Parental lnhumanity.
A revolving and extraordinary case of
parental inhumanity is revealed in Nc
Lean county, ILL.,, in the Bloomington
Pantagraph. L. c. Talbert, farmer,
living nine miles north h-west of Bloom
ington, was formerly from Ohio, and was
known to have five children. During a
period of three years only four children
had ever been seen, and suspicion of
something wrong having been aroused,
officer Sill, visited Talbert's house. At
first both Taibert and his wife denied
having five children, but were finally
forced to acknowledge the fact. In
answer to the demand to see the fifth
child, the father led the way to a smoke
house on the premises, one corner Of
which had been curtained off, and there
the child, boy about six years old, was
sitting in it's own filth, entirely max kcd,
and with it's legs firmly tied together.
The scene is described as one Of intense
horror, exhibiting cruelty thousand
times worse than british. Upon being
united and placed upon his feet, the boy
could scarcely walk. The inhuman pa
rents have been lodged in Jail, at Bloom
ington, to await their trial. The only
reason alleged by them in excuse for
their crime is that the boy could not
speak, and that they were ashamed OF
him,

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE .AMALIAMATIoN OF LANGUAGES.- There
is a growing tendency in this age to appropri-
ate the most expressive words of other Ian
guages, and after while, to incorporate them
into our own; thus the word Cephalic, which is
from the Greek, signifying ''for the head is
now becoming popularized in connection with
Mr.. Spaldings great Headache remedy, but it
will soon be used in more general way, and
the word Cephalic will become as common as
Electrotype, and many Others whose distinction
as foreign words has been worn away by COM
mon usage until theyeems ''natiye and to the
manor born"

nag HEADACHE is the favorite 81 On by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state Of the brain, and viewed
in this light it may be looked on as Il safeguard
intended to give notice of disease which might
otherwise escape attention, till too late to be
remedied; and its indications should never be
ne elected. Headaches may be classified under
two names. viz: Symptomatic and ldiopathic.
Symptomatc Headache is exceedingly common
and is the precursor of great variety of
diseases, among which are ApopleXy, Gout,
Rheumatism and all febrile diseases. In its
nervous form it is sympathetic Of disease OF the
stomach constituting SICK headache, of hepatic
disease constituting bilious headache of worms,
constipation and other disorders OF the bowels,
as we'll as renal and uterine affections. Diseases
of the heart are very frequently attended with
Headaches Anamia and plethora are also af-
pections which frequently occasion headache.
Idiopathic Headache is also very common being
usually distinguished by the name of mere US
hcadache sometimes coming suddenly in u
state of apparently sound health, and dssprostra-
ting at once the mental and physical energies,
and in other instances it comes on slowly,
hearalded 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 be named NeUrdLgi0.
For the treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in
few minutes, and by it's subtle power eradi,

unerring index.
