Habitual Constipation How to Effect a
Certain and Permanent cure.-some occ"-
pations of life predispose to Costiyeness, espe-
ciaIly those which allow but little exercise.
Persons who contract this unfortunate habit
OF body. under such circumstances, might
possibly be relieved by changing their seden-
tary employments for others of more active
kind; but thisis by no means certain. Habit
ual constipation is very obstinate disorder.
All the ordinary so7called remedies invariably
nggrayate It. Nothing can be more injurious
than the continued use Of strong aperients.
They at first irritate. and finally almost par
alyEe the bowels rendering them SO torpid
that enormous doses of cathartic medicines
have no effect upon them. mild aperient'
combined with gentle stimulant, is tho true
remedy; and a combination in the happiest
proportion, of these ingredients, is found in
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This famous
stomachic ihyigorates the whole intestinal
canal, while quietly removing from Its convo-
lutions all impediments to n free passage
through them. No mere purgatiye has TINS
double operation. No ordinary stimulant
effects the desired object. Cases of Constipa-
ton abandoned as hopeless by distinguished
medical men have been cured in few weeks
by the Bitters. To those who have tried all
the medicines of the dispensary in vain. we
say try this irresistible stimulant and aperient.
There is no sufficient reason why constipation
should be the consequence Of sedentary habits.
Uostetter's Bitters, by supplying the vigor
which would otherwise be derived from exer-
c;sa will in all cases enable the system to

with, known as Injuries, and on those
which we use more of than we produce
revenue enough may be raised after a
few years of peace and the consequent
reduction of our indebtedness, TO
fulfill our obligations. A further re-
duction of expenses, in addition 70
the reduction of interest, a per
cent. may be relied on to make TINS
practicable. Revenue reform, II II
means this, has my hearty support; Al II
means collection of all the revenues
for the support Of the government, for
the payment of the principal and interest
of the public debt, pensions, etc, by d.
rectly taxing the people, then | am
against such revenue reform, and conf
IDENTIFY believe that the people are with
me. If it means a failure to provide
the necessary means TO defray all ex-
penses of the government, and thereby
Reputation Of the public debt and PEN
sions then | am still more opposed tout
Such kind of revenue reform has not
been defended by its advocates TO my
knowledge, and seems to be accepted as
something which is to supply every
mans wants, without any cost or effort
on his part A true revenue reform cam
not be made in day, but must be the

"A NEW CONSTELLATION.
The viclssburg and Nashville Raj

road.
General fuckers road, the Grenada,
Houston and Eastern Railroad, has con-
solidated with two other lines--one from
yicksburg to Grenada, the other from
Okolona TO Eastport, or some point on
the Tennessee river. This latter line
has recently been surveyed by Mr. VIM.
S. Moon, of this city. The distance
from Okolona to the Tennessee river, at
or near Eastport, is Sabout sixty-five
miles. The survey extends through Full
ton, the county,seat ofItawamba county,
up to the valley of the Tombigbee;
thence up Macky's creek, which has the
finest water power in the South, crossing
the dividing range of the Tennessee and
Alabama waters six miles south of luka,
through which town it passes to the Ten
nessee. river. The profile of the route,
prepared by Mr.. Moon, exhibits a fair
average grade along the entire line, al
though it runs through high hills and low
valleys. The finest specimens of silica,
whichis extensively used in the manus
facture of glass, and pure kaolin, were
found by the engineer in large
Quantities along the line Of the
proposed route The kaolin is
used in the manufacture Of porcelain,
and these specimens of silica and
kaolin, which can be seen in the en-
gineers office, are perfectly pure. The
line from Nashville to the Tennessee
river, along the old Waynesborough
route, was graded before the war, but
during the war the iron was taken up
and placed on other lines, The road as
consolidated and proposed, runs from,
vicksburg up the Yazoo Valley to Yazoo
City and on to Grenada. General
fuckers road then carries the line from
Grenada, via Houston, to OkoloRa, and
this new line from Okolona to the Ten
nesse river will connect it with the Nash
vile aud Eastport link, thereby forming
almost an airline from Nashville to
vicksburg. General fuckers charter
covers the whole line from Vicksburg to
the Tennessee river, and under this char
ter this consolidation and extension will
90 into operation. It's understood that
work will be commenced on these re-
spectiye lines at an early day, and that
the company is backed with sufficient
funds to carry on the enterprise to com
pletion. This line runs around Mem
phis. and will necessarily work to the
disadvantage of the Bluff City.
