Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

Is constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated,
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 serofulous faint is variously
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. it is hereditary in the con-
stltution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
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
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous 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 numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature
are still rendered fatal by this faint 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 scrofulous;
tHeT persons are invaded by this lurking In
fiction. and their health is undermined bv it.
to cleanse It from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

We are enabled here to offer the community
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 AGrE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment Of the disease il taken on the first APP
preach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is not only
the best remedy yet discosered for this class
OF complaints but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings ii within the
reach OF every body and in bilious districts where
FEvER AND A6uE prevails, every body should
have 1t and il freely both for cure and protec-
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
oeher ever discovered for the speedy and certain
OF Intermttents is that il contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as IL
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 RhennatIsr, Cont, Headache, Blind

immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the maarious districts II taken ocea-
senally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mittents If they avail themselves Of the protection

WASHINGTON, March Is.
SENATg.-The credentials of u. Wilmnt
were presented, and he was sworn ia and
took his seat.
Douglas resolution was taken up and Mr.
Breckin ridge spoke. lie was free to confess
and graiifed to do go, that the inaugural, ia
it's general expressions, WAS for harmony
and the prevention Of bloodshed, but the
policy v hich the President says he deems his
duty TO pursue must iesult 10 bloodshed uu-
less esse ntially modified.
The leading idea II the Inaugural, very
clearly Iut forth, is that the President does
not recognise, in any sense, the existence Of
another Confederacy, bot regards oil pro-
ceedings in the seeding States either incur
rectionary or revolutionary, and that it is
his purpose, TO the extent OF his power. to
enforce the laws in oil the States, including
those which have Withdrawn. The inference
was irresistible. To whatever extent
force or invasion il necessary to collect
duties on imports, and to maintain possession
and occupy the forts, force 10 70 be used By
constituting it to be bis constitutional duty.
The President conceiyes il his duty to
hold, possess and occupy the forts, and COL
lect the duties on imports to be modified ac-
may surround him, otherwise his policy
would be simple and easy. Looking ut IT.
Sumter, what were the reasons for tho ru-
morcd evacuation? No political, but mili-
tary reasons.
He would, ii bis object was purely concil-
iation, withdraw the troops for political and
not military reasons. Then be thought b.
vas justified in constituting the inaugural ia
mean that the President will hold the forts
and other places within the confederate
States and COLLECT the duties on imports to
the extent Of his power, and il there 10 any
modification il will bo because Of his inabiI.
! ity, and not because be would be willing tc

sailing OF q n Armrd Fleet from New

We see by the New York papers that the
Government has ordered out to sea quite
naval feet, with arms, provisions and troops
on board. The feet consists Of the Empire
City, Star OF the West, Crusader, Mohawk,
and stores bip Supply. These steamers pu.
out to sen on the 10th inst, and carry thirty
guns and have full armament Of men,
Besides the men attached to the vessels they
csrry out several 6ne companies Of troops,
and an immense quantity OF arms, stores
and provisions.
There are also in the port Of New York
the steamers Powhatan, Vixen and Harriet
Lane, ready to put out to sea, and said to be
under sailing orders.
The destination OF these vessels and troops
is involved in mystery, and not ten men in
tho nation know anything Of the character
of their mission. The officers went to sea
with sealed instructions, and were as igno-
rant Of their destination of tho time Of sail

their departure.

Gus aad wise policy of Secretary Wells in
such matters with the traitorous course Of

A New solution.


There has been new theory started in re-
gard TO the policy of the leadere OF the Be-
cession movement in the South. Ii is, that
notwithstanding JEFF. Davis Southern
powder and Southern steel' sentiments, the
real purpose of Davis, Stephens 1 90. 10 to
prevent collisions with the confederates in
their present position ill high taxes create
disco nsenss and produce reaction. Then,
it is said, they propose to lead of in favor
Of reunion and reconstruction. 1t is said
that it is in pursuance OF this policy that no
attack has been made on Fort Sumter, and
that on the contrary Maj. Anderson has been
supplied with fresh provisions.
We regard all such speculations and theo-
ries a. weak inventions, utterly opposed to
the original purposes and present policy Of
the oonspirators. 1t is natural enough that
men OF sense amongst them should desire to
avoid butting their brains out against Fort
Sumter, and equally rational that they should
desire to protract the necessity Of conflict
q. It. Sumter BY supplying food which other
wise the Government might conclude to fur
nisb, even at the expense Of the lombard
nent OF Charleston.
While the border slave States stand as q
bulwark for the Southern Confederacy, and
il the laws are not enforced against them,
they have no object in commencing hostili-
ties. When this Government refuses to re-
ceive the Southern Commissioners, and re-
fuses to recognise the independence Of their
Government, but on the contrary commence
enforcing the laws, it will be ascertained
how little truth there is in tho ascrption Of
Union and peace sentiments to JEFF. Davis
and bis confcderates.
