A Patriot Martyr and His He

The Philadelphia Inquirer gives let

tive in Philadelphia, the statements in
which, that paper says, may be relied
upon as an accurate description of affairs
in that city at the present time. 1t is
dated Nov. 23d, and after alludlng to
the continued state of fear in which
they are kept, from the apprehension of
a servile insurrection, the writer details
in the following graphic style the death
of q Martyr in Charleston to his Union
principles, and the heroic conduct of
his wife:
Poor - is dead; before the fall
of Sumter he e1er.cd all his influence

with promotion if he could be prevailed

my country better" Finding him
faithful to the flag he loved, he was
made to feel the power Of his enemies
He was cast into miserable, damp, i'll

Scrofu1a, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption ef the
blood, by which tl.is fluid becomes vitirtctf,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
perrades the whole body, and may burst ont
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, Ilor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofuious taint is varioueiy
caused by mcrcuriet disease, low liyiug, di,-
ordered or unhealthy food. impure air, GI'!'
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, ;;ati
above all, by the ycl.ereai infection. What
ever be Its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from purcnts to e.ssircs1
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who SAYS, II
will visit the niquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from The
blood of corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, i'll
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, etuptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which seMders i'll the blood, dcpresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofulots constitu-
tons not only suffer from scr9fulous 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 scrSfuloHs III their riaturc.
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
i'll 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
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system. we must renovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
