~ HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which ma
ture makes known any deviation whatever from the
natural state of the BRAIN and viewed in this light
it may be looked on safeguard intened to give
notice of disease which might otherwise escape
attention, till too late to be remeded; and its indl-
cations should never be neglected. Headaches
may be classified under two names. viz: Sympto-
matte and Idiopathic. Symptomatic headache is
exceedingly common and is the precursor of a
great variety of diseases, among which are Apo
plexy, Gout, Rheumatism, and all febrile diseases
In its nervous form is sympathetic of the disease
of the stomach constituting SICK headache of hepa-
tic disease constituting bilious headache of worms,
constipation and other disorders of the bowels as
well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of
the heart very frequently attended with head
aches; An@mia and plethora are also affections
which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic
headache is also very common, being usually dis
tngulshed by the name of nervous headache, some
times 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 be named Newalqia
For the treatment of either class of headache the
Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe re-
medy, relieving the most acute pains in few min
utes and by its subtle power Graduating the disea-
ses of which headache is the unerring index

TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SAvED.-Mr
Spalding has sold two millions of BOTTLES of hi
celebrated prepared Glue, and it is estimated tina
each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of bro
ken furniture, thus making an aggregate of twent
millions of dollars reclaimed from total loss by thi
valuable invention. Having made his Glue house
hold word, he now proposes to do the world sti
greater service by curing all the aching heads wit
bis Cephalic Pills, and if they are as good as hi
Glue, headaches will soon vanish away like sno,
in July.

VICTORY IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
A .Sepere Fight The Enemy Routed.

The monotony that had prevailed tor some days
was broken By the receipt of official intelligence
that the enemy, stationed on Cheat Mountain
had sailed out and attacked a small force OF our
troops, and were repulsed with heavy loss. The
fight took place on Friday, the 18th inst, on the
Allegheny Mountain, fifteen miles west of Mon
terey to which point the force remaining in that
vicinity, under Col. Edward Johnston had fallen
back aud eneamped. The official dispatch rcceiv-
ed says that the battle commenced at Z O'Clock in
the morning, and lasted until o'clock in the af er-
noon, when the enemy retreated; that the FEEDER
ais numbered 5,0eG, while Col. Johnston's CON-
mand was only 200 strong
We have private information which mainly
comedies with the foregoing. Our catrp, it is
stated, surprised by the enemy at an early
hour i'll the morning, but the troops rallied gal
lantly to their work, and fought with the energy
of desperation The troops under Col. Johnston s
command were portions Of the 18th Georgia and
the 3lst Virginia regiments, Col. BalGwins Vir-
gna regiment, and Hansbrough's and Recars
battaons-in all, probably not much over 200
men. From statements gathered from two pris-
oners captured few days previously, it is pre-
sumed that the enemys force was from 5000
to 5000 Our loss in the battle is set down at
25 killed and 70 wounded and missing.
The enemy left eighty dead on the field and
their loss in killed and wounded is believed to be
very heavy 1t was desperate fight and dear
y bought victory.
Col Edward Johnston, under whose command
the battle was fought is a native Of Chesterfield
county, Va He was an officer in the old o. S.
Army, and distinguished himself in Mexico At
ter his resignation, he returned to Virginia, and
assigned to the command of the 18th Georgia
regiment, in Gen. Loring's division, portion of
which had been lately transferred to another
point, leaving Col. Johnston the senior officer Of
the post. This force, at Camp Allegheny, expect
ed oroers to eastward, when the enemy came
out from his stronghold on Cheat Mountain and
made the attack, anticipating an early victory
but returned beaten

The Starksve Miss Advocate, publishes a
letter from gentleman living Greensboro,
Miss to his IN Starksville giving the particu-
lars of recent bloody Tragedy which occurred in
Choctaw county, brief mention of which has been
published. The letter bears date November 18th.
We extract the following:
Il have Just witnessed the closing scene of the
most terrible tragedy ever witnessed, or ever
read, or heard Of and | sincerely hope l may
never witness Il similar one. 1t seems that diff
iculty had been bruing for some time between
the Edwards and the Gray families about some
property. | do not know who in fault about
the matter. The children of the two families had
ntermarried with each other; and some time since
Que of the Edwards who married ii Mss Gray, died.
Mr. Robert Gray administered upon his estate,
and was trying to get the property claimed by his
sister. On last Friday the parties met at the late
residence of the deceased, about five miles from
this place. and about two miles from the residence
OF j nd dee Edwards, and about four miles from DR.
James Gray s residence.
The parties met early in the morning. both
armed for the conflict 1t seems that the Grays,
Robert, William aud James reached the fatal spot
first. After they had been there some time, Judge
Edwards and his two sons Luther and Knight,
came, and found the Grays there, armed with
double barrel shot guns. Some angry words pass.
ed between the parties, and the hrIng commenced
and how long the battle lasted no one knows.
There three on each side, and it is said that
several negroes belonging to Judge Edwards par
tcipatcd in the f4ht. Judge Edwards was shot
in the breas, and died soon after Luther Ed
wards was shot in the left side. and died that
evening, and the two Grays, Robert and William
were not shot, but were beaten over the head and
left on the ground for dead-then DIR. Gray was
left alone to contend with Mr. Knight Edwards
and the negroes. They fought long time; it is
sid Mr. Knight Edwards received severe wound
the head, and Dir, Gray a wound in the
left arm with large knife, and several about the
head. In the time Robert Gray came to
himself and scrambled up and left-some of the
negroes it is not known how many, pursued him

CHARLOTTE, N. C.

RUTHERFORD COURT was in session last week,
Judge French presiding. Messrs. Waters, Prut,
and Durham, Of Cleaveland, were tried on the
charge of forciby arresting one Scoggin, on susp-
cloR Of being an ahotionst, and sentenced to
thirty days imprisonment Some six or eight
months since Scoggin wrote an insulting letter to
Mrs. Ilolton, in which he said s. Now spread
yourself for JEFF Davis and the Confederate States
where the people have voice but are led by fire.
eaters who want republican government pulled
down, and establish one where the few rule, not
for we Rutherford boys you need publish your
jeff Davis stuff. We are for our rights, but not
tor renesades." Scoeein was brought before a
vigilance committee, and dismissed Oh promise of
good behaviour, which resulted in his bringing
this suit. The Judge may deem it gross out
rage, but public opinion will not sustain him. We
may soon look out for bridge burnings, when loyal
citizens are to be imprisoned for arresting suspi-
cious characters when prowling among US.
A fine of $50 has since been substituted for the
mprisonment.-.SheityE Eagle
We consider the sentence of Judge French an
outrage, and we do not hesitate to say that if we
lived in Rutherford county we would oppose its
execution. If the vigilance committee had dealt
more severely with Scoesins they would have
done right. We believe all three.of the gentle
men tried are now in the field fighting for the
South, and the action of the Judge in sentencing
them to Imprisonment or ining them $50 each
for arresting suspicious character is nothing
less than an outrage. In order to merely vindi-
cate the law, fine Of cents would have been
sufficient.

THE YANKEES OFF PoRT RoYAL-The Cam

Journal of Commerce, in speaking of affairs at
Port Royal, says
The newspapers have published most exaggerat-
ed accounts OF the coming in of slaves at Port
Royal. From several gentlemen, who have recent
ly returned from that port, We learn facts which
are to be relied on true. The negroes have
to the fort to sell provisions, poultry, &C.,
and their supplies have been bought Others
have come from curiosity, and lotered around
awhile, going away again when they pleased.
About one hundred and fifty remain in the fort,
having been employed to work, receiving ratons
and eight dollars per month, The total number
that have in, any and every pretext, does
not exceed three hundred and fifty No indication
has been given of any desire to accept liberty as
permanepcy. Their attachment TO their masters
aud the families which they belong does not
seem to be diminished, and there are large num-
bers, probably thousands of them in the neiehbor
hood, who have not come into the fort at all. It
is said that visit to South Carolina has already
opened the eyes of many gentlmen, of former abol-
tion inclinations, to some few facts III slavery.
