Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease. a corruption Of the
blood by which this fuiS becomes vitiated,
weak. and poor. Being in the circulation, IL
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease ON any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor il there one which il may
not destroy. The scrofulous talnt is variousiy
caused by mercurial disease low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and.
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, il is hereditary in the con-
stitution. descending I" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation j" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrcles, IN the glands, swellings, and on
the surface, eruptionx or sores. This foul cor
rupuon, which genders in the blood, depresscs
the energies of life, 30 that scrofnlous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other Diseases; conse-
qucntly vast nunabers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this tant in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
In this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofuloyrs :;
their persons are invaded by this lurking m
fiction, and their health is undermined by It.
To cleanse il from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine We supply in

lie might call out three hundred thous-

then be could not suhjugate the gallant
people OF the South That no army
however numerous, ever would or could
subdue the Southern spirit. That the
South would never submit to the humili
ation or degradation Of being conquered
by the North. That, let this war be
short or long, the South would be ulti>
mately triumphant and victorious. Mr.,
Bell gave a history of what be believe
would be the Campaign ill Virginia, and
exorted all the soldiers and cilizens, if nee
essary, to take up arms and repel Lin

journey through the States of South

Il was expected there would be hardly
one third the Average crops of cotton,--
Our informant saw fields of a th ousand
acres in extent turned to corn and wheat
where previously coslon had been grown.
Contrary to general Northern opinion,
there are still as many as nine thousand
troops in and about the defences es

king up their minds to do without tea
and sugar, and profess to feel the ut
most carlessness in regard to those little
useless !uxuries during the contin uance
of the blockade.
Our informant assures US in the most
positive manner that there is in most ev
cry southern town he visited, and even in
Charleston, considerable class which
entertains Union sentiments. These per-

One evening last week woman who

Without saying word she commenced
thrashing him with all the strength and

arguments against the practice OF billiard
playing; she turned upon his cham, gave
