Reasons for the Chagrin of the vir
ginia Senator'S -

ginia Senator's -- .
The Immature and general disgust at men
and things displayed by the two Virginia Sen
ators since the Presidential election, and their
willingness to help along the disunion move
ment SO far as they dared, are well accounted
for by the facts stated in the following para
graph from Harper's Weekly, paper of South
era learning:
The prospect is, of course, bitter and nau-
esaous to the old political leaders it is
natural they should repine at the revolution
which is sweeping them from the political
arena. For large segment Of century Sen
ators Mason and Hunter of Virginia. for in
stance have been the most powerful personages
in American politics The one at the head of
the Senate committee on foreign relations for
| more than ten years No foreign minister
conld be appointed, no embassy sent forth, no
treaty ratified, no line Of foreign policy deter
mined, save with his consent Congress, the
President. the Secretary of State, have oil
i been his servants. The power which in foreign
| countries IS divided between the executive, the
minister OF foreign affairs and the Legislative
body has al been welded by him. Cau it be
a matter Of surprise that he should cling to Il
and should welcome n general catastrophe tC
hide his own overthrow The other Virginia
Senator has been for nearly sixteen years
chairman Of the Senate committee on ways anC
means. According to parliamentary usage, he
is the leader ofithe Senate. He has been, al
the custom is, dictator in the Senate, on al
money bills. No tariff or loan, or appropria
ton bill has ever passed against his opinion

cure for nrunkenness.

The irresistible passion for liquor, which Is
acquired by men who can not govern their ap-
petites, is quite as much physical as moral
disease, and the terrible craving for the ac-
customed stimulus, which constitutes the ap-
parently irresistible obstacle to reform, comes
mostly from the local inflammation of the
stomach and brain. Its cure by medical treat
ment IS not, therefore, irrational, and if pos
sibe it should be understood. that those who
struggle vainly to break the chains of a de-
grading habit may avail themselves Of whatev-
er medical reinforcement may contribute to the
support of an enfeebled will.
There is a famous prescription in use in
England, says the Springfield Republican. for
the cure of drunkenness, by which thousands
have been assisted in recovering Themselves
The recipe comes into Hotoriety through the
efforts of John Vine Hall, father Of Rev. New
man Hall, commander of the Great Eastern
steamship. He had fallen into such habituaI
drunkenness that his most earnest efforts to
reclaim himself proved unavailing. At length
he sought the advice Of an eminent physician,
who gave him a prescription which he fol-
lowed faithfully for seven months, and at the
end of that time he had lost all desire for liquors,
although be had been for many years led cap
tive by most debasing appetite. The recipe
which he afterwards published, and by which
so many other drunkards have been assisted to
reform, is as follows: Sulphatc Of iron, FIVE
grains magnesia, ten grains peppermint wa
ter, eleven drachms spirit of nutmeg, one
drachm-take twice a day.
This preparation acts as a tonic and stimu-
liant, and so partially supplies the place of the
accustomed liquor, and prevents that absolute
physical and moral prostration that follows
sudden breaking off from the use discriminating
drinks In cases where the appetite for
liquor is not too strong, the medicine supplies
the place of the accustomed dram entirely
But Mr.. Hall continued the use of liquors at
first with the medicine, diminishing the
amount gradually until he was able to throw
away the bottle and glass altogether, after
which he continued to take the medicine a
month OF two until he felt that he was wholly
restored to self control, and could rejoice in a
sound mind and sound body. There is prob
ably in the case of this medicine, as of all
others, vtry much in the moral support given
to the patient by confidence in it as a specific.
But there is no doubt that it also acts directly
as a remedy by assisting in the recovery of the
moral tone of the system.

The military Policy of JEFF: Davis.

The Military Fo4Icy OF Je1a Davis
Improbable as it may appear, there is reason
to believe that the President of the Conleder-
ate States is entertaining The idea Of taking
possession of Washington City, and is prepar-
ing formidable military force with a view to
an expedition having that purpose. The South
ern press abounds with threats and insinua-
tions to this effect. Davis himself has repeat
edly given strong suggestions of such a design;
and those who knew him, know that Ire would
be exceedingly glad to drive his personal enc
my, Gen. Scott, out of the District of Colum-
bia. 1t is very possible that he ovcrrates his
power, but it would be unwisc in us to under
rate if. or fail to understand the advantatages
of his position. He Is the military Dictator
Of seven States; and all the slave States are
full of sympathisers with him. The machinery
Of his Government works in silence and secrc-
cy He knows all that transpires at Wash
ington, while the authorities there know moth
ing that is done in Montgomery, except that
which the authorities in that place see proper
to permit the world to know. Davis stands in
the dark and looks upon the Federal Govern
ment, which is in the broad light. lie bas
the advantage that the savage has, who, lurk
ing in the gloom, glares upon his foes at their
camp fire. Davis learns all that the reporters
for the press at Washington can ascertain, by
daily inquiry. at all the Departments. by brib-
ing clerks. by frequcnting the White House
aid all that special spies can pick up in New
! York, and other Northern cities. But there
are no New York reporters in Montgomery
prying into official secrets. They would be
hanged as spies if caught pursuing their Ordi
nary business there.
! The French press is perft city free in com
! iAFison with that of the Cotton States. The
mails are respected by the Federal Govern
ment, but not by the confcdcratcs. What i
the sacredness of wafer or little paste, OIL
the inviolability of an envcop, in a case o
Southern rights? A letter frankcd by JEFF
Davis, would be as safe in Northern mai
bag, as any other mans letter. \ letter frank
ed by Abraham Lincoln and addressed tt
some one in the Cotton States, would never b'
delivered up by the Postmaster, according Il
the superScription, without an understanding
as to its contents. Certainly the Cabinet a
Montgomery is not ignorant of any thing il
the Southern telegraph wires, that it wishes II
know. The experience of Secretary Dix, il
attempting to communicate with his agent a
New Orleans, is conclus i've on that point. n
Constitutional restraints are placed upon th
employment of the military forces of the Con
federate States; and Davis commands al; tn
resources of those States, which are by n
means insignificant in population and wealth
and in which the military spirit has been lon
and assiduously cultivated.-C.n. Com.
