Constipation or Costiveness.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to" is
SO prevalent so little understood and so much
neglected Costivenoss. Often originating
in carelessness or sedentary habits; it is Ie-
garded as slight disorder of too little conse-
quence to excite anxiety, while in reality it is
the precursor and companion of many of the
m ost fatal and dangerous diseases, and unless
early eradieated it will bring the sufferer to
an untmely grave. Among the lighter evils
of which costiveness is the usual attendant
are Headache, Collie, rheumatism, Foul
Breath, piles and others of like nature, while
a long train Of rightful diseases such as
Malignant Fevera, .Abcesses, Dysentarv, Di
| arrhoea, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy Par
alysis. Hysteria. Hypocendriasis, Melancholy
and Insanity, first indicate their presence in
the system by this alarming symptom, Not
unfrcquenuy the disea scs named originate
in Constipation, but take on an independent
existence unless the cause Is eradcated in an
early stage From all these considerations it
follows that the disorder should receive imfne E.
diate attention Whenever it occurs, and no
person shonld neglect 20 get box of Cephal

The Seizure of the Capital Long Con-
temDlated.

The Philadelphia Press says:
II is a somewhat singular fact that the
idea seems to be cherished in many quar-
ters that Washington will be made the
capital Of a Southern Confederacy. Ex-
President Tyler is reported to have oflen
alluded to this subject in his discussions
in reference to the present difficulty
4 nd singularly enough, in a no.e to E
sermon delivered by Rev. George Duff
field, Jr., of this city, on the late fast
day, we find the following statement:
A few ronths before the death of the
late CoIone! Benton, he said to young
political friend then on visit to Wash
iDglon: Young man, you have seen
the Hall Of Patents, the Post Office, the
Capitol; for whom have they been bulls
at such enormous expense?" For the
people of the United States, suppose .
United States! No, SIR, no! They are
for the Southern Confederacy which has
been plotting for the last five and twenty
years, and which l greatly fear the ma
ton will not wake up TO discover until i
is too late" Remembering the words o
the dying Benton, we were not surprised
10 hear Senator Iverson, declare in hi
place, " see no reason why Washing
ton City shall not be continued the capi.
tai OF Southern Confederacy. The
buildings are ready to our hand!
