When the inhabitants of a volcanic
region hear the dreaded subterranean
rumbling noises that precede a vol
canic eruption, or an earthquake
shock, they take immediate precau,

When the inhabitants of Guanaxuato
of the Mexican Plateau first heard
those strange subterranean noises.

of GuanaxuatO," they fed from the
city in terror, and only returned when
compelled by N litary force. Thus
promptly do men seek refuge from
threatened eorpOreai dangers. But
they heed not those other manifest
warnings of nature-debility, drOwsi-
ness, loss of appetite and indigestion,

Nature thus warns you ofapproaching

AT the celebration of Washington's
birthday at Savannah, a member of
the Chatham Artillery waved Con-
federate battle flag, and the band
played Dixie. Those poor, whipped
out rebels down there are something
like q defeated rooster. When the
"boys in blue" were lying around
after taking possession of the
Sunny South, they left such antics to
the women; but now, when they are
gone, they cut thigh jinks." Let 'em

Mr.. B.ount of Georgia, from the

reported back the Postofice bill
with recommendation, which was
agreed to, that the Senate amend

commend that those two amend

SENATE.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. %.

,
The Vice President laid before
the Senate a communication from
David T. Corbin, contestant for a
seat ia the Senate from South
Carolina, stating he had been before
the Senate two years actively assert
ing his right to a seat, having been
duly elected by the Legislature of
South Carolina, and the Committee
on Privileges and Elections of the
Senate having reported that he was
duly and lawfully elected. He
refers to the vote of Tuesday last,
by which the Senate refused to
consider his case, and says the &C
ton of certain Senators indicates
that his right to a seat will not be
acted on at this session, and 1t will
be useless for him to return here
next session to renew the contest.
He therefore withdraw5 from the
contest and says, in conclusion, that
had he been admitted he might
have been able, among other duties,
to have rendered service to the col
ored people of South Carolina who
are now in need of assistance. Read
and laid on the table.
After passing a number Of pri-
Yate bills the Senate resumed the
consideration of the bill making an
appropriation for the payment of
arrears of pensions.
The Senate resumed considera-
ton of the bill making aPprOpria-
tions for the payment of arrears of

After a lengthy discussion, the
Senate, without action on the pend
ing bill, at 5p. M, took a recess un'
til s o'clock. There is probability
of very late session, to pass appro-
priation bills.
