We arc enabled here to offer tho community y
remedy which; while ii cures L. above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" eNpels the miasmatic poison OF FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the dc
yelopment Of the disease, If taken on the first up
proach of its prcmonitory symptoms. Iii not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The LARGE
quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within tic
reach of every body and in bilious districts, w!,c.c
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and prOlcc-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of Intermittents is that il contains 10 Quiniuc
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the c%onstitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as II
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which arc
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Cont, HcaRdche, Bhnd-

CAPACITY OF THE SOUTH TO FEED IT.
sELF.-A great error that the Republican
presses are now instilling into the Northern
mind is that the South has not the capacity
to feed herself. They find it straitened for
food at this time, and, therefore, conclude
that such must always be the case, if cut off
from Northern supplies. The severe dougbt
last summer is the cause of the present
scarcity Of food at the South. Kansas is
suffering from the same cause. The north
ern part of Ohio, few years ago, suffered
from like cause, and SO severely that cat
tie died for the want of proveuder. No part
Of our widely extended country is exempt
from such calamitous visitation. To show
that the South can produce the articles ne
cessary to sustain people in war, we have
made the following exhibit from the census
table Of 1850. And it is only necessary for
the South, to double these figures, to put
under cultivation only about one-half the
number of acres now devoted to cottonfa and
tobacco, and devote the other to the raising
of corn, wheat, potatoes, etc. The follow
ing is from the census statistics of 1850, of
articles produced in the slave States that

pare the way for re-enactment of all the
horrid crimes and massacres Of St. Domin-
90. 1t would eventuate in the extermina-
ton of the African race upon this cont
nent
Hence we boldly aver that the man who
recommends such disposal of four mil
lions of slaves, is ignorant of the history of
the past is blind to stubborn facts meeting
him at every point, is incompetent to judge
in case of such momentous issues, and
deserves to be branded as the worst enemy
The negro has. The only other alternative
and method proposed is to transport and
colonize the slaves when manumitted. This
scheme is burdened with many iusuperable
difficulties. The negro is now at home in
America, and it is unfair and cruel, to ex-
patriate him against his will. And there is
not one negro in a thousand that would
consent either to leave his master or his
country. Nor could they be transported in
a mass, because of the expense. 1t would
empoverish the South, and the North too,
to pay the passage and sustain for a sufi-
cient time, in foreign country: the whole
number of negroes we have amongst u.s.
To send them away in their untaught and
DEGRADED condition would be unmitigated
cruelty, for they must perish with star0a'
ton before they could have time to relapse
into their primitive oarbarism. The histo.
ry of Hayti, and the British West Indies,
and even Liberia, only confirms what We
have said. The negro is unfit for self:gov-
ernment, he is not civilized yet, and his
propensities for vice, and his known lazi-
ness and listlessness, render it impossible
to put him under a political government,
adapted to him, that would not be despotic.
Thus we believe that transportation, with
view to foreign colonization, would be the
doom, the determination of our negroes
Rather than overwhelm them with such a
fate, reason, philanthropy and religion plead
that the negroes be left under the yoke to
their masters, who are their best friends in
the judgment Of PHILEMON.

meut, as We need letters down here more
than you fortunate people up North can.-
The papers come through sometimes, but
letters never. It quite surprises me to see
my name figuring so extensively in the
newspapers. I have simply done my duty;
but I suppose the doing it under such a
pressure of opposition, makes it appear
creditable. The troops are leaving the op-
posite shore, disgusted at playing soldier, l
suppose. They say there are only about
three hundred remaining, and these are
regulars, having enlisted for one year. My
messenger to the yard, this morning, said
they were afraid we would attack them now.
We could do SO, and get possession again
of every thing in an hour, if we were only
permitted to take such course.

of five hundred men. We have worked
like horses TO accomplish this, but great
things can be done by small means when
one knows how. This small command has
done more than Chase or Lomax could have
done with their two thousand men, and they
know it. Having seen our guns 60 up so
rapidly, they swear We have had reinforce
ments. In fact, the papers say, nothing
else could b., expected-that we have SNUG
gled in men from the vessels. 1t is true
we could have done so, and they be none
the wiser; but not man has been added
to this command from them. In fact, so
particular are we, that not even an officer
has come ashore, with the exception of Cap
tain Vodges, and he only once, when the
vessels first came.

sorts of false reports about me. One is that

The Closing Scanas.

We take the following description of the
closing scenes In Congress, on Sunday
evening, from the New York Times, Black
Republican
"Congress did very little on Saturday
calculated either to advance the material
interests of the country or to promote a
peaceful settlement of the national troubles
In fact, the proceedings in the Senate, al.
though protracted until near midnight,
may be considered as absolutely worse than
proftless-the session being entirely vast
ed in foolish discussions as to what ought
to be done. Finally, it was voted to ad-
journ until u o'clock last evening. On
reassembling at that time, the Senate gal
leries were unprecedentedly crowded, and
crowds were turned away, unable to gain
admission. Mr.. Crittenden, after present.
ing the credentials of Mr.. Breckenridge,
who is elected to the Senate for six years
from tomorrow, proceeded to speak on his
resolutions, but the noise in the galleries
was so great that it was found impossible
to proceed with business. The Sergeant
alarms, at the order of the presiding off,
Ger, made an endeavor to clear the galleries
of all those who did not occupy seats, but
he soon reported the task impossible to ac'
Mr.. Douglas moved to elect q
new Sergeant.at-Arms, who could do his
duty; but, comparative quiet having been
restored, he withdrew his motion, and MIR.

the fort any time during the first fifteen
days, would have surrendered it without
firing gun. Of course this is not true.
My men stood at the guns every one of
those days, and if they had come they would
have learned the definition of one kind of
grape.
The people on the opposite shore think
We are in much more defensible condition
than when they first came. The moral ef-
feet of the guns on top is great. When the
move was first made I worked most where
they could not see me, and they thought
but little was doing; but when my men
were put to work on the barbette guns, and
they saw them 90 up almost like magic as
they thought, Qhey could scarcely move
their own guns,) they began to think troub'
lous times were coming. There are only,
as said before, about four hundred men at
the barracks, Fort Barrancas and old Nc
Cree-only enough to garrison them. They
are very much afraid that some fine morn
ing they will find the ships in the harbor,
with the intelligence to them that they
can leave within two hours, unless they
prefer to be food for powder.
Colonel Chase and Capt. Randolph are
both in Montgomery, leaving Col. Forney
in command He is West Point gradu-
ate, and was engaged in putting up the
batteries before that work was stopped
Colonel Chase was putting up battery
near the lighthouse, and mounting eight
inch Columbiads on it. This battery would
have raked our front, so wrote protesting
against its continuance at present, and also
against the erection of all batteries bear.
ing on the fort Colonel Chase told the
Secretary of War that if he would not land
the troops in the Brooklyn, he, on his part,
would not attack the fort, and would i'm
mediately discontinue all preparations for
so doing. OF course this battery building
violated the agreement; and they have ad-
mitted it by not going on. They think I
have no right to mount any more guns Ell
ther, but that is all they know about it.
There was no armistice on my side at all,
except about the landing of the troops, and
that was the Secretary's. am at perfect
liberty to mount every gun in the fort if I
choose, and to make such other defences as
I can invent or copy. x

POWER OF THE SoUTH.-The following
extract is from the speech of Senator Hun
ter, of Virginia: .-...
"The seven seeding States alone pos
sess territory more than three times as
great as France; more than six times as
lage as Prussia, and nearly six times as
large as England, Scotland and Ireland put
together; while the alliance of the other
Southern and border States would increase
the territorial extent of the Southern Con-
federacy more than oue-third. Can coun'
try like this, occupied by a people who,
from their childhood, have been accustom-
ed to the most manly exercise, and the free
use of 6rearms-bold, hardy, restive under
unlawful control-and numbering within
its borders, 100000 men capable of bear
ing arms, and who, with few weeks
warning, could be marshalled at every as
sailable point in bands of $4,000 and 100,-
00O-can, Isay, such country, and so peo-
pied, be overcome by foreign foe? The
idea is simply absurd"

War Terms,

The Columbiad of Paixhan pronounced
pay .zau) is large gun designed principal
" for firing shells-it being far more accu-
rate than the ordinary short mortar.
A mortar is very short cannon with a
large bore, some of them thirteen inches in
diameter, for firing shells. Those in use
in our army are set at an angle of As de-
gress, and the range of the shell is varied
by altering the charge of powder. The
shell is caused to explode at just about the
time that it strikes, by means ofa fuse, the
length of which is adjusted to the time of
flight to be occupied by the ball, which, of
course, corresponds with the range. The
accuracy with which the time of the burn
ing of fuse can be adjusted by varying
its length is surprising; good artillerists
generally succeed in having their shells ex-
plode almost at the exact instant of strik-
ing. 10 loading mortar, tie shell is care
fully placed with the fuse directly forward,
and when the piece is discharged, the shell
is so completely euveloped with fame, that
the fuse is nearly always fired. The fuse
is made by filling a wooden cylinder with
fuse powder, the cylinder being of sufficient
length for the longest range, to be cut down
shorter for shorter ranges as required.
A Dablgren gun is an ordinary cannon,
except, that it is made very thick at the
breech for some three or four feet, when it
tapers down sharply to less than the usual
size. This form was adopted in coDse-
quence of the experiments of Captain
Dahlgren, of the U. s. Navy, having shown
that when a gun bursts, it usually gives
way at the breech. The Niagara is armed
with these guns, and at the Brooklyn navy
yard there are sixty, weighing about 5000
each, and six Of $4,000 pounds weight
each, the former of which are capable of
carrying nine inch, and the latter, ten
inch shell distance of two or hree miles ;
and there is one gun of this pattern which
weighs 1876 pounds, and is warranted to
send an eleven inch shell four miles
A casemate is stone roof to q fort made
sufficiently thick to resist the force of can.
non balls, and casemate gun is one which
is placed under casemate.
A barbette gun is one which is placed on
the top of the fortifcation.
An embrasure is the hole or opening
through which guns are fired from fortifca-
tions.
Loop holes are openings in walls to fire
musketry through.-ScientJfc american.

New England and South Carolina.
the New York Post, noticing the late
departure of the steamer South Carolina,
from Boston for South Carolina, says that
while she lay at her wharf she displayed
the American flag in the main rigging, and
the Palmetto ensign at the FORE The Mas.
sachusetts, the other steamer of the line,
sails under the State flag of Massachusetts,.
The especial wants of the seceders, says the
Post, as indicated by the freight list of the
South Carolina, are shoes, rum and pianos.
The rum was branded with Palmetto tree
on the heads of the barrels, and is supposed
to be equal to the Armstrong gun in the
length of the reach at which it is warrant
ed to kill. A single individual-one of the
steamer owners shipped fifteen hundred
cases of boots and shoes by this vessel, and
the fortifcations of South Carolina will be
increased by the addition of considerable
number of piano-fortes.
The Post and other papers of its kidney
have been threatening the South with star
vation if it should separate from the North.
1t has been swearing that they would noe
sell US anything to eat or to wear, if we set
up shop for ourselves. Lord bless you, if
we could only believe that you would not,
sure enough, We would secede on that very
account. If We are in a wretched plight
Of weakness and dependence, it is just be.
cause you will sell us things, and We are
fools enough to buy them. Nothing, moth
ing under Heaven do we make ourselves,
from the slop bucket to the piano, from the
shoes that are soled with brown paper, to
the rum that poisons body and soul. Even
if war should come, it would be all the
same you would sell, and what we needed
we would buy, whether it be bread or gun
powder. We know your devotion to the
American Eagle, but between the Ameri.
can Eagle on flag and the American Eagle
on gold dollar, what true son of the Pill
grims was ever known to hesitate? If ever
the patriotism of Yankee Doodle rises to
pitch of frenzy, it is when he sees this
warlike bird of his country spreading him
self upon field Of gold.
In the war of the American Revolution,
the honest yeomanry of New England sup
piled the British armies regularly with all
the provisions they required. 1t was in
vain that Washington endeavored to break
up the reasonable practice. The author Of
that admirable work, "The Lost Principle"
says that as fast as Washington distress.
ed the enemy by day, the traficking provin.
cials recruited them at night. "Every Cor
poral's tent" he says, "was perfect ba-
zaar." The militia men themselves sold
provisions constantly to the British, and af-
drew pensions from the United
States for their services 1t was this, more
than any other cause, that prolonged the
war of the Revolution to seven years. We
have, therefore, no concern about procuring
supplies; our concern is just the other way.
