GE- 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 as a safeguard intended to give no
tice of disease which might otherwise escape atten-
tion. till too late to be remedied and its indications
should never be neglected. Headaches may be class
flied under two names, viz: ~Symptomatic and Lido
pathic. Symptomatic Headache is'exceedingly COM
mon and Is the precursor of a great variety of disease
es, among which are Apoplexy, Gout, rheumatism
and all febrile diseases. In its nervous form it is SYM
pathetic of disease of the stomach constituting sick
headache, of hepatic disease constituting bilious
headache, of worms. constipation and other disorders
of the bowels. as well as venal and uterine affections.
Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended
with Headaches Anemia and plethora are also affec-
tions which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic
Headache is also very common, being usually
distinguished by the name of NERVOUS HEADACHE.

bity of temper. In most instances the pain is in the
front of the head, over one or both eyes. and some
times provoking vomiting; under this class may ALEC be
named NEURALGIA.

Constipation or Costiveness.

No one Of the ! many ills flesh is heir to il so
prevalent, so little understood, and so much ncglec-
ted as COstiyeness. often originating in careless
ness, or sedentary habits, it is regarded as a slight
disorder of too little consequence TO excite anxiety,
while in reality it is the precursor and companion OF
many of the most fatal and dangerous diseases, and
untimeIy' grave. Among the lighter evils Of which
cOstiveness is the usual attendant are Headache. Collie.
Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Piles and Others Of like
nature. while a long train Of frightful diseases such as
Malignant Feyers. Abcesses, Dysentary, Diarrhra,
Dyspepsia, Apoplexy. Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hystcria,
cate their presence in the system by this alarming
symptom. Not unfreqacntly the diseases named
originate in Constipation, but take on an indepen-
dent existence unlels the cause is eradicated in an
early stage. From EIi these considerations it follows
that the disorder hgHld receive immediate attention
whenever it occurs. and no person should neglect 10
get a box of Cephalic Pills on the first appearance Of
the complaint, az their timely use will expel the in
siduous approaches of disease and destroy this dan
gerous foe to human hfe.

CoNGREss.-On the 18th, in the Senate,
Mr.. Crittcnden's resolutions came up and
were discussed. Mr.. G. advocated the opin-
ion that if Congress could not settle the
matter, the people could give them instruc-
tons, and that there would be no humiliation
in obliging them. 1t was a question of ma
tioual existence, and would the Republicans
encounter civil war rather than deviate a
hairs breadth from particular dogmaS? lie
appealed in most affecting language to both
sides.
Mr.. Toombs responded. He said that the
Republicans had been sowing dragons teeth
and were raising n crop OF armed men. Inc
Union was already dissolved. The cause OF
South Carolioa was the cause OF the whole
South. The South had appealed to fraternity
and - the Justice Of tie North in vain, and
would submit her cause, il necessary, to the
artilrament of the sword. lie reviewed the
demands of the South, and contended that
they were only for equality in the Union. tie
cited the tacit encouragement given 10y the
Republicans TO invasions of the slave States
The only arbiter was the sword. The speech
was lengthy and ardently for secession in its
tone from beginning To end, TepudiatlnS any
idea of compI omiSc, aud concluding ny an
eloquent summing up OF the various points
Of his speech, and declaring that If the South
was denied her rights she would invoke the
god of battles.
The Senate then went inc executive session
on McIntyrc's nomination as Collector OF
Charleston, which was referred as usual.
In the House, Mr.. Etheridgc made an
attempt to introduce, by unanimous consent
the resolutions Of the Border States Commit
tee. The vote stood SO nays against seventy
eight yeas, on the motion to suspend thu
rules, which was consequently lost.

ET~ Over excitement, and the mental care and
anxiety incident to close attention to business or

Headache. The disOrdcred state of mind and BODY
incident to this distrcssin; complaint Is a fatal blow
to all energy and ambition. Sufferers by this disor-
