4 Protest from an Unexpected Source.

1t is a noticeable fact that at the first
court held in Charleston, South Carolina,
under Rebel authority, the first business
was bold and pungcnt protest against the
right of the Confederate Government. A
case came up under the Rebel sequestration
act, in which Judge Pettigru, man of
high repute, assailed that act in the sevcrest
manner, "This act" said he, "Jo,yo,red
from the darkest period ct'tyronny, is dug
up. from tie cery quarters Of despotism, and
put forward as our sentiments. They are
not ny sentiments, and sorry will be if in
this sentiment | am solitary and alone"
Upon its inquisitorial features, requiring
the violation Of professional confidence, he
exclaimed: "There are cases when it is
dishonor or death-and death ,eiW certainly
be chosen Ly crery nan aeorthy the name"
Upon the excuse of necessity for such a
law, he became sarcastic, and inquired:
''How can that be said to be necessary
which as ABSOLUTELY aeger Auo,gn to hare
occurred Jetore? Was there anybody that
ever fought before General Beauregard!
War unfortunately is not new thing. Its
history is found On every page. Was there
ever war like this endured, practised or
heard of? 1t certainly is not found among
the people from WHOM we derive the com
mon law. No English monarch or Parlia
ment has ever sanctioned or undertaken
such thing. 1t is utterly inconsistent
with the common law to require an inqusi-
torial examination of the subjects Of the
laws Of war 1t is no more part Of the
law of war than it is part of the law Of
peace
The District Attorney perceived the
remarkable character of the scene and was
indignant that "the first duty which de-
volved upon his Honor since he put on his
robes, and opened the first term of the
Confederate Court in South Carolina, should
be to listen to an invective against the Gov
crnmont whose commission he BORE" and
he justly charged Judge Pettigru with
" drawing in question not only the consti
tutionality of the law passed 6y the Con-
gress of the Confederate States, but the
re,y authority fhat Congress ITSELF and
the rclidity Of tie Government achich 1t
ropresents.'
Such protest from Charleston, the
heart of sccessia, at such a time, has deep
meaning Judge Pettigrew is holder than
his fellows, but thousands of Southern men
are not less decided at heart in their pro-
tests against the Rebel authority Oneida

THE TALENT OF SUCCESS man
must patiently bide' his time. He must
wait Not in listless idleness, not in use
less pastime, not in querulous DETECTION /;
but in constant, steady, cheerful endeavor,
always willing, fulfilling and accomplishing
his task, "that when the occasion comes he
may be equal to the occasion" The talent
of success is nothing more than doing what
you can do well, without a thought Of fame.
If it GENES at all, it will come because it is
deserved, not because it is sought after.
1t is very indiscreet and troublesome am
bitten which cares SO much about fame,
about what the world says of US, as to be
always looking in the face Of others for
approval, to be anxious about the effect Of
what we DO or say, to be always shouting
to hGsr the echoes Of our own voices

MEDICAL.
Scrofula. or Kings Evil.

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercural 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, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed
1t seems to be the rod Of Him who says, IL
will visit the impurities 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
tubercles; in the glands, sweilings; and on
the surface, eruptions sores. This foul COR
rupton, which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous consttu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with-
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofuloas in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
clnateS the human 1anlly mas ltS 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 scrofulous !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
10 cleanse it 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 III

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE or

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, chill Fever, Dumb
Hesdache, and bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class OF diseases originals
ing ing ~ iSiisry " c".:sd ny
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease if taken on the first APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cureof Intermittents is that it contains Quinine
other injurious effects Whatever upon the constitn-
ton. Those cured by it are le!t as healthy as if
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 are
Neuralgia Rheumatism, Cont. Headache, Bind
ness, 1oothache, Earache, Catosyh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Afection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
tics, PAIN an IT," Boioeis, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rangenent of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause. put the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This " CURE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection TO
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that viii be excreted from the system, and canno'
accumulate in sufficient quantity TO ripen into d.,
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protet
ton than cure and fewwiil suffer from Inter-
mittents if they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

AYERS
Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
brned from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNy's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIpELAs, PrMpLEs, PusTULEs,
BLorcHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TuMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEuM, SCALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYrHILITIc and MERcuRIAL DIS
EASES, DRopsy, DYSPEPSIA, IDENTITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in " inp,anity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
