Pulaski IN FLAMEs.-The Nashville
papers contain accounts of terrible fire
at Pulaski. We copy from the Union and
Dispatch 4
The towns along the line of the Nash
vile and Decatur railroad are one after
another being swept by tornadoes of fire,
and the destruction of property far exceeds
any loss hitherto known in their long his
tory. Only short time since, consid-
erable portion of franklin was laid in ash
es, and now large part of the business
portion of Pulaski is a heap of shoulder
ing ruins.
Yesterday morning about one o'clock, a
fire broke out on the east side of the
Square at the latter place, and when the
southward bound train from Nashville
passed at twenty minutes past 2, terri
Bile conaagration was raging. Before the
flames could be stayed no less than thir-
teen business houses were destroyed.
The total loss is estimated at $l,000,-
600. Not more than one third the pro-
perty destroyed was insured. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of an in
cendiary.

1t is rumored that if the President is
acquitted, hoFwill request Congress to re-
peal the obnoxious tenure Of Office bill.
If they decline to accommodate him, he
will tender his resignation to the Senate.
He will, in his resignation, give his opin-
ion of law which compels the President
to retain as his adviser man devoid of
all honor. The President will by this
step give the lie to the assertion that he is
a usurper, tyrant and would-be king.

tied her; and she entreatod him to keep
the matter secret, in consideration of an

Whose sufferings have been protract-
ed from hidden causes, and whose
cases require prompt treatment to
render existence desirable. Do you
feel weak, debilitated, easily tired?
Does a little extra exertion produce
palpitation of the heart? Does your
liver, or urinary organs, or your kid
neys, frequently get out of order2 Do
you have spells of short breathing or
dyspepsia? Are your bowels consti-
pated? Do You have spells of faint
ing, or rushes of blood to the head?
Is your memory impaired? Is your
mind constantly dwelling upon this
subject? Do you feel dull, listless,
mopiug, tired of company Of
life? Do you wish to be left
alone, to get away from every
body? Does any little thing
make you start or jump? Is your
sleep broken or restless? Is the lus-
tire ofyour eye as brilliant? the bloom
Of your cheek as bright? Do you en-
joy yourself in society as well2 Do
you pursue your business with the
same energy? Do you feel as much
confidence in yourself? Are your
spirits dull and tagging, given to fits
of melancholy? If so, do not lay it
to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you
restless nights? Your back weak.
your knees weak, and have but little
appetite, and you attribute this TO
dyspepsia or liver complaint?
How many men, from badly cured
diseases, from the effects of self-abuse
and excuses, have brought about that
state of weakness in those organs that
has reduced the general system so
much as to induce almost every other
diseasc-idiocy, lunacy, paralysis spi-
nal affections, suicide, and almost
every other form of disease which
humanity is heir to, and the real
cause cf the trouble scarcely ever
suspected, and have doctOred for all
but the right one?
Diseases of those organs require the
use of diuretic. HELMBOLD' S

great diuretic, and is a certain cure
for diseases of the Bladder, Kidneys,

Female Complaints, General Debility,
and all diseases of the Urinary Or
gans, whether existing in male or
female, from whatever cause origin
ating, and no matter of how long
