THE USE OF AcDs s-Physioloeical re-

are s.bilious," that is, the bile is in the
blood. Whatever is antagonistic Of fever
is cooling. 1t is a common saying that
fruits are cooling" and also berries Of
every description it is because the acidity
which they contain aids in separating the
bile from the blood, that is, aids in purify
ing the blood Hence the great yearning
for greens, and lettuce, and salads in the
early spring, these being eaten with vine
gar? hence also the taste for something
sour, for lemonades on an attack Of fever.
But this being the case it is easy to see
that we nullify the good effects Of fruits
and berries, in proportion as we eat them
with sugar or even with sweet milk or
cream. IF we eat them in their natural
state, fresh, ripe. perfect, it is almost i'm
possible to eat too many, to eat enough to
hurt us, especially if we eat them alone,
not taking any liquid with them whatever
Hence, also, is buttcrmilk. CT even common
sour milk promotive of health in summer
time. Sweet milk tends to biliousness In
sedentary people, sour milk autagonistic.
The Greeks and Turks are passioBately
fond of sour milk. The shepherds use
rennet, and the milk dealers alum, to make
it sour the sooner. Buttermilk acts ike

THE Troops IN Texas. Orders were
sent from here ten days ago to the officers
in Texas. to retain portion of the dis
persed trops there, subject to the order Of
Gov. Houston, in repressing any attempt
to overthrow The State authority Other
orders were also sent to officers in remote
parts of the State, to concentrate at a
given point as promptly as possible. for the
purpose of cooperating In this movement.
If he has been deposed, as reported, and
made no resistance, those troops can be Of
no service, since they were detailed for a
special purpose, and can be employed for
no other. If Gov. Houston still asserts
his right, as the legal executive, aud has
appealed to the people to sustain him
against an organized usurpation, there can
be no doubt of the right of the President
to furnish this aid, in order to maintail his
authority. The next intelligence from
that quarter is looked for with great inter
est. IF Gov Houston had made stand
at all against the conspirators, stirring
events may be expected. An organized
army of /, 500 or 1000 men, such as is
now at his discretion, might administer a
useful lesson to the traitors who have seIz-
ed upon the government for their own pur-
pose. Hash. Cor. " 7. Tribune.

The wild southwest moon soon mas risen,
On broad gray wings of gloom,
While here from out my dreary prison
/ look as from a tomb-alas!
My heart another tomb.
Upon the low thatched roof the rain
With ceaseless patter falls;
My choicest treasures bear its stain.
Mould gathers on the walls-would HEAVIER
Twere only on the walls
Sweet mother, l am here alone,
In sorrow and in pain
The sunshine from my heart has flown,
l feel the driving rain-ah me!
The chill, the mould and rain.
Four laggard months have wheeled thiel
round
Since love upon it smiled,
And everything of earth has frowned
On thy poor stricken child-sweet friend
Thy weary suffering child.
Id watched my loved one night and day,
Sc rec breathing when he slept,
And as my hopes were swept away,
I'd in his bosom wept-Oh, God
How had prayed and wept
They bore him from me to the ship,
AS bearers bear the dead
l kissed his speechless, quivering lip,
And left him on his bed-alas
1t seemed q coffin bed
Then, mother, little Charlie came,
Our beautiful, fair boy,
With my own fathers cherished name,-
But 0, he brought no joy,-my child
Brought mourning and no joy.
His little grave l cannot see,
Though weary months have fed
Since pitying lips bent over me,
And whispered, ''He is dead "-Ah me
IT'S dreadful to be dead
do not mean for one like me,
So weary, worn and weak, :
Deaths shadowy palenesss seems to be
Even now upon my cheek,-hi seal
On form, and brow, and cheek.
But for bright winged bird, like him,
To hush hisjoyous song,
And prisoned in coffin dim,
Join deaths pale phantom throng-my boy
To join that grisly throng!
0 mother, can scarcely bear
To think of this to day
1t was so exquisitely fair,
That little form of elay.-my heart
Still fingers by his clay.
And wheu for one loved far, far more
Come thickly gathering tears,
My star of faith is clouded DER,

My heavy weight of fears.
but to feel thy fond arms twine
Around me once again
1t almost seems those lips of thine
Might kiss away the pain-might soothe
This dull, cold, heavy pain.
But gentle mother, through lifc's storms
may not lean on thee;
For helpless, covering little forms
Cling trustlngiy to me.-Poor oabes
To have no guide but me.
With weary foot and broken wing,
With bleeding heart and sore.
Thy dove looks backward sorroWing,
But seeks the ark no more-thy breast
Seeks never, never more.
Sweet mother, for the exile pray,
That loftier faith be given
Her broken reeds all swept away,
That she may rest in heaven-her soul
Grow strong in Christ and heaven
All fearfully, all tearfully,
Alone and sorrowing,
My dim eye lifted to the sky
Fast to the cross l cling-O Christ
To thy dear cross l cling

denoting that the Union shall be perma-

grand pillars of State-wisdom, strength,

brotherhood will ever be in the ascendant,
and the Union will be beacon light to
the world, in point of commerce and ciyili-
zatIon, and that other parts. now govern
ed by other powers, will join in the ranks
Of the star spangled banner, of their own
frce-will. The Union will never be
strengthened, or rather our states will new
er be augmented by bloodshed, but by
free-will on the part of those who seek to
join US. We also find that whenever the
evil planet Saturn, passes through the sign
Virgo, that this country suffers very much
from sickness, especially cholera. In Sep
tember next five planets will be in the sign
Verge, denoting great mortality in several
localities. Gales will be prevalent, that

From Speech delivered by ce-President Stephens
at Atlanta, Ga,
The Chief Glory Of the Constitution Of
the Gulf States.

at Atlanta, Ga,
The Chi af Glory Of the Constitution Of
the Gulf States.
In the old Constitution the fathers look
ed upon the fallacy of the equality of
races as underlying the foundations of Re
publican liberty. Jefferson. Madison and
Washington, and many others, were tender
of the word slave in the organic law, and
all looked forward to the time when the
institution of slavery should be removed
from our midst as trouble and a STUN
bling block. This delusion could not be
traced in any of the component parts Of the
Southern Constitution, I'm that Consti-
tuition we solemnly discarded the pestilent
heresy of fancy politicians, that all men,
Of all races, were equal, and we had made
African ineqaity and subordination, and
the equality Of white men the chief corner
stone of the Southern Republic. "
Such are the monstrous avowels of the
least fanatical of the dignitarics of the
Southern Confederacy. Jefferson denied
that the Almighty had any attribute in
sympathy with slavery; but Stephens de-
clares that opinion, and the humane hope
of Madison and Washington, that the
time might come ''when the institution Of
slavery should be removed, . ''Ae pestileat
heresy Of fancy poEticiansi" Instead Of
an institution whose existence is to be dep
recated, it is eulogized as ''tbe corner
stone of the Southern Republic"
Such sentiments afford melancholy IL
lustration vf the degeneracy Of the sue
cessors of the revered patriots whose names
are dishonored by being taken upon the
lips Of those who thus seek to tarnish their
fame and overthrow their prineiples.-AE

entrazee This proceeding caused much excitement
and large crowd assembled in the neighborhood
OF the ehutch- NhJ gave expression to their opin-
lons OF this outrage in no measured terms. The
ladies', (the truest in the land) who had sssem>
bed to attend church, were particularly caustic in
their remarks.
IL s said that orders were received from Wash
ingon by teleg aph to allow the church to be open
ed, but for the truth of this will not vouch. How
ever, IN accordance with these orders. or because
of returning sense of shame and reason, the or
der for the closing Of the church countermand-
ed, the guard removed and the Provost Marshal
despatched to the pastors residence to inform him
that he could proceed with his service as usual
The account by telegraph of this outrage on the
church is, as usual falsfed. There was no request
made to have the church opened; on the contrary,
it was determined by the elders let the onus lie
where it properly belonged, and to let the church
stand closed. As you may imagine, there was much
excitement and Indignation manifested on the part
of our citizens, and much shame and confusion of
face exhibited by those of the sodiery possessing
any refinement of feeling. Mr.. Leftwichs course
Of conduct, under these trying circumstances, is
worthy Of the highest commendation, and some Of
the soldiers, who dare express opinion of their
own, severely condemn Heintzleman's act.
The denial of the right Of freedom of prayer
cannot fail TO have its effect at home and abroad
and cause the rejecting portion of the Northern
people to consider into what 4 despotism they are
fast drifting, and if they not already degrad
ed by the powers at Washington, they will turn
upon their tyrannical rulers and Indignantly hurl
them from power.
Freedom of speech was expected to be denied,
but to undertake to mauace the heart and suppress
feryent prayer to Almighty God for a just cause,
is tyranny tyrannized.

man and worthy of the occasion, and that is as
much as we say for its utterance by Mr.. Lin

The 2urpo4es OF The Lincoln Government.
The intelligent Washington correspondent Of the
New York Journal Of Commerce advances the fol,
lowing opinion as to the purposes Of the LINCOLN
Government, which is fully justified by the progress
of events.
WAsHINGTcS, July 8.-Congress meets to sanction
the war measures Of the President, and to provide
means for their vigorous prosecution. No one looks
back to the origin of the war any guide for its
future conduct, affording any light upon
its probable Duration On the part of the Northern
members generally, there appears to be stern ard
quiet determination to adopt the last Of Mr. Sew
ards well known propositions for the Of
the Union and that is-to sight for It - Mr. So
ard himself, after having witnessed the failure If
all his successive predictions of peace has eanobt
the warfeYer, and declared in favor Of a perpet1a
conflict of arms, as you will see BY his Fourth of
July remarks. The accepted object of the war il
to eradicate the cause which produced ig;-that is
the principle Of secession, which the slave
States adopt for the safeguard Of their slave
institutions. As it is difficult to fight an idea the
employment Of force will be actually, if not at frat
avowedly directed against the existence of slavery
itself The war viii not continue six months longer
before it viii take that shape. At the next Session
Of Congress in December, it viii not be surprising
to find that the actual sbotion Of slavery has been
proclaimed by the Federal Executive, and with the
view not only immediately to harrass the South but
to secure, beyond doubt the sympathes of England
and France in behalf of the North. Even a. pres
emit, wherever the Federal armies may advance in
the slaTehoding Ststes they Wal ssEs upon all able
bodied slaves and employ their labor. That the
next step will be to promise them freedom at the
close of the war, is not to be doubted. Unless q
great change shall occur in the Northern mind on
the subject within the coming year, the will be
pursued on larger scale than has yes been i1dicat
3D. and with object short Of the actual abolition
of slavery, but with Compensation to owners In the
loyal States No one will doubt that this Congress
at their session next winter, will sanction any mea-
for the prosecution OF the that the Execu-
tive may meanwhile adopt. just as they are now
prepared to sanction all that the Executive has done
since the 3rd Of March last.
