peryades the whole body, and may burst cut
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which 1t may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variousiy
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ali. by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitutior, descending " from parents to children,
unto the third and fourth generation indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, Which, II
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, IS termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and OH
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous consiitu-
tons not emily 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 scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
cimates 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.

Mr.. EDIToE:-The Washington govern
ment has waged a wicked and unnatural war
upon us, and we are now thrown upon our
own resources, and it is uncertain how long
this war will last, but whether it lasts long
or short, we as a people should prepare for
our own Independence in every shape and
form. In the Southern Confederacy there
are q great many Cotton Mills o in sue
cessful operation, but so far as | know there
is not one Card clothing Factory in the whole
South. The Card-clothing of those Mills
will soon fail, and if Lincoln's blockade con-
tinues, these Mills will have to cease opera
ton, and we will find ourselves in utter des-
~titution. Now, 10 order to meet the case, |
think all the owners of Cotton Mills and
| Wool Factories Should meet in Convention
at an early day, and take measures to start q
! Card-c.othin5 Factory. There are men Of
capital sufficient for the business; We have,
or can have all the material, and we should
not Depend upon the North for these things,
if peace should be made; neither should we
depend upon England. There are a good
many Cotton Mills in Western North Caro-
lima and the upper part of South Carolina
If these views should meet with favor and a
Convention be called, the writer would pro
pose Lincolnton, N. c., as the place.

EDITOR OF THE AGE: Pardon my long
continued silence. Nothing has occurred in
this latitude worthy of communication, for
a long time. Exaggerated rumors occasion
ally find their way here in relation to the
4th-I should nave said 14th-some of them
calculated to aggravate, and others to excite
and please the troops. 1t is unnecessary to
mention them, as they proved to be without
foundation.
We have either been fortunate or unfortu-
nate enough to escape an attack, thus far,
from the enemy. 1t has been thought ne
~cessary however, for some time, to be un
commonly vigllant, as various expeditions
have been fitted out at Old Point, whose
destination could only be conjectured. We
are prepared here for them whenever they
may conclude to give the Brigade a trial
This Regiment has constructed some fermi
dable breastworks and very substantial and
comfortable quarters, which | trust ma

troops, wbc may succeed as here. So, Mr.
Editor, be it distinctly understood, that j
we do not get a fight here, WI have render
ed as valuable service as though we had
and are entitled to as much honor, | think
1t is not our fault if the enemy, almost il
sight, are afraid to bring about a collision
The health of the Regiment is good. Nor
