FoR THE ENQUIRER, THE PALMETTO ENSIGN.

| THE PALMETTO ENSIGN. 1 A1Rs-srAR sPANaLED BANNER. O, what can you see through the fog of this night? Are we all "wide awake' or only dreaming? Has nobody got hurt in this horrible fight, About which for some months, we've so loudly No rockets red glare, no bombs bursting in air Give proof to our fight, that still Anderson there. o, say--does the Palmetto yet wave, Der the land of Legree, and the home of the slave. a @ st On the shore aims the scene; for the mists are We hardly can see half the length of our noses What is that? Did you sneeze? Somebody 6
 asleep. Wake him up! If you don't, he'll get kicked while he dozes. We won't let him dream. While we're yawning they seem, To be making arrangements to get up the | stream. At Fort Sumpter, o, say does the Palmetto wave. Der the land of Legree, and the home of the slave And where are our troops, who so terribly swore,
 
 our poultry We hope they'll soon leave us, and come back
 no more. For we find it expensive to maintain Fort Moul-
 trie. No refuge can save, either hireling or slave, When in terror, we fly from the gloom of the
 grave. We're afraid the Palmetto much longer won't
 wave For here nobody's free, though we brag that
 we're brave. Must we stay here forever, with muskets in
 hand -. To keep guard o'er our homes, in their drear de-
 solution? We know how to stand fire but Q laugh we ''can't
 stand," So we'll all go to bed-lest we snooze on our
 station. Be conquered we must. For our cause is not
 just. Shall we call on. his name! Such as thee we
 don't trust. What matters the hue of the iag that doth wave Where nobodys free, and the " white" mans Q

A Coop SToRY-A very good story is told at the expense of Col. J. K. Comstock who for many years was widely known as the prince of landlords"- and proprietor of the Clean House, Clean, New York. Many years ago Comstock was legally served" for violating the license law. The trial was had at Portv:lle, and the justice, after hearing the proofs, entered up judgement against the "host" of the Clean House. Of course John was hopping mad."- He would carry it up and blow judgement to -" Hon. Benj. Chamberlin was the first Judge of the county-and shortly after the events above partially narrated, the Judge put up for a night with Col. Comstock After sup- per John unburdened himself to Judge Cham berlain, relating very minutely, the circumstan- ces attending his conviction at Portville, &c., The Judge blandly, but strongly urged John to carry the suit up to the Common Pleas" there you are pretty sure to have justice done ye!"- Having satisfied himself that Judge Chamber lain would do him justice, Col. Comstock direc- ted his Attorney to appeal the case to the Com mon Pleas of the County. In due time the case was called, Judge Chamberlain presiding, who, upon hearing the proofs, arguments, allegations, &c., promptly affirmed the judgment of. the Jus tices Court, to the utter confounding of Col Comstock's attorney, who had anticipated an easy victory for his client Not long after this, Judge Chamberlain called again at the Clean House, and Col. Comstock was, of course, glad to see him. In the evening, mine host" !" three or four times sought to bring up his liquor case, but the Judge evaded it. until Comstock bolted right on to it thus ...-
 Judge, you remember my liquor suit ?" Oh yes John, very we'll" replied the Judge. You advised me to carry it up to your Court, didn't you, Judge?' said Comstock. eo% a4
 ," Yes, did, John," said the Judge, for l wanted to see you fairly dealt with"
 The deuce you did but you beat me though didn't you ?" inquired Comstock in his peculiar. ly searching manner.
 Yes, John," said the Judge, looking Com stock very seriously in the face, "The fact is John, your liquor for the past year has been so confoundedly poor that I hadn't the courage to reverse the judgmentr'
 John was silently satisfied, and has never car ried up any more liquor suits.

SICK HRADAcHE--Is sickness st stomach, a tendency to vomit, combined with pain in some part of the head, generally in the left side. It is caused by there being too much bile in the system, from the fact that this bile is manufac- tured too rapidly, or is not worked out of the system fast enough by steady, active exercise.-- Hence sedentary persons, those who do not walk about great deal, but are seated in the house nearly all the time, are almost exclusively, the victims of this distressing malady. It usually begins soon after waking up in the morning, and lasts day or two. or more. There are many causes the most frequent is, Arrangement of the stomach by late and hearty suppers; by eat ing too much after regular meal. five hours should, at least, intervene J eating after one is conscious of having had enough; eating too much of any favorite dish eating something which the stomach cannot digest, or sour the stomach. Any of these things may induce sick head ache all of them can be avoided. Over fatigue, or great mental emotion of any kind or severe mental application, have brought on sick head ache, of the most distressing character, in an hour it is caused by indulgence in spurious liquors When person has the headache there is no appetite the very sight of food is hateful the tongue IS furred; the feet and hands are cold and there is feeling of universal discomfort. with an utter indisposition to do any thing what ever glass of warm water, into which has been rapidly stirred a tea spoon each of salt and kitchen mustard, by causing instantaneous vom- iting, empties the stomach of the bile or undi- gested sour food, and grateful relief is often experienced on the spot; and rest, with few hours of sound, refreshing sleep. completes the cure, especially if the principal part of the next day or two is spent in mental diversion and out. door exercises, not eating an atom of food (but drinking freely of cold water or hot teas) until you feel as if piece of plain, cold bread and butter would taste really good" Nine times in ten the cause of sick headache is in the fact that the stomach was not able to digest the food last introduced into it, either from it's having been unsuitable, or excessive in quantity. When the stomach is weak, spoonful of the mildest, blandest food would cause an attack of sick head ache, when ten times the amount might have been taken in health, not only with impunity but with positive advantage.
 Those who are subject to sick headache" eat too much and exercise too little. and have cold feet and constipation. A diet of cold bread and butter, and ripe fruit or berries, with moderate continuous exercise Tn the open air, sufficient io keep up very gentle precipitation, would, of themselves, cure almost every case within thirty six hours.-D1..
