Cairo, April 29.-The steamer Westmore
land from New Orleans arrived here last
night. We got from her commander, Capt
Evans, the following statement: Thursday
night, along the Mississippi side, Capt Ev-
ans desired the pilot to cross over to Napo
leon. He did 50, and as they approached
the Captain asked if there was any freight
and was answered there was. The line was
tied and the clerk went on the wharf boat
In moment he returned and said the wharf
master informed him there was no freight
and that mob was going to take the boat
This was immediately followed by volley
from the guns and pistols of crowd of fifty
or sixty persons assembled on the shore
There were shouts Of "Shoot the Captain and
Pilot" balls flew around the Captains head
and some struck the pilot house. The Cap
tain and pilot, however, escaped injury
The boat was crowded with passengers, many
ladies among them. Passengers had crowd
ed forward to look at the town, among them
Mr.. II. Hammond Of memphis; bullet entered
his left breast, passing through his heart, kill
ing him Instantly. One fireman received a bull
let in his shoulder. The ladies were Shrek
ing with fear. Several shots penetrated the
boarding Of the ladies cabin. Capt. Evans
had the wheels set agoing, broke the line by
the strain and got off. The number and
size Of the holes made by the shot is aston
ishing and give rise to the suppostion that
they must have been fired from cannon.
A jury chosen from passengers aboard held
an inquest over the dead body Of Mr.. Ham
mond, which resulted in verdict Of death
from fire arms in the hands Of some person
or persons unknown to the jury at the wharf
boat at Napoleon, Ark, during an attack
upon said steamboat, while peaceably leaving
the said wharf, by mob or assemblage of
persons without any provication from the
officers Of the boat or passengers on board.

Constipation or Costiveness.

No one of the '' many ills flesh is heir to" is so prevalent, so little understood, and so much neg lected as Costivencss. Often originating in care lessness, or sedentary habits; it Is regarded as slight disorder of too little consequence to excite anxiety, while in reality il is the precursor and companion of many of the most fatal and dange rous diseases, and unless early eradcated it will bring the sufferer to untimey grave Among the lighter evils of which costveness is the usual attendant are Headache, Coic, Rheumatism Foul Breath Piles and others of like nature, while a long train of frightful diseases such as Malignant Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentary, Diarrhoa, Dyspep sia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, fly pochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indi cate their presence in the system by this alarming symptom. Not unfrequently the diseases named originate in Constipation, but take on an ndepend ent existence unless the cause is eradcated in an early stage. From all these considerations it fol- lows that the disorder should receive immediate attention whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect to get box of Cephalic Pills on the first appearance of the complaint, their timely use will expel the insiduous approaches of disease and destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

cTg HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which na- ture makes known any deviation whatever from the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this light it may be looked on as safeguard intended to give notice of disease which might otherwise es. cape attention, till too late to be remedied and it's indications should never be neglected. Headaches may be classified under two names, viz: Sympto- matic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly common andis the precursor of great variety of diseases, among which are Apeplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrle diseases. In it's nervous form it is sympathetic of disease of the stomach constituting sick headache, of hepatic dis ease constituting bilious headache, of worms, con stpaton and other disorders of the bowels, as well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended with Headaches; An@mia and plethora are also affections which ire duently occasion headache Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually distinguished by the name of nruous hedddche, sometimes com ing on suddenly in state of apparently sound health and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression oi spirits acerbity of tenn per. In most instances the pain is in the front of the head, both eyes, and sometimes pro- voking vomiting; under this class may also be nam ed Neuralgia.
 For the treatment of either class of Headache the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the diseases of which Headache is the unerring index.
