ny II L FLASH.

The cannons idiotic mouth
Had ceased its senseless roar
Throughout the hamlets of the South
The subres clashed no more
Cur heroes who had fought and died.
Slept in their CORY graves,
Nor saw their country cruclfsd
BY towards and by knayes.
From North. and East and West they came
A hungry ravenous horde,
More blasting than the midnight flame
More ruthless than the sword
And orphans' sobs and widows cries
Resounded through the land,
And curses on our enemies
Were heard on every hand.
Their bayonets held US in the dust
Enforced the victors will;
In vain their arts-our stubborn hearts
Remained uncor quered still.
The years rolled blythe Pestilsnce
Came like the curse of Fate,
And deadlier yet than bsyonet.
And binder far than hate.
1tsmote the silvered hair of age
The baby at the breast
And blasted with unreaaoning rage
The bravest and the best.
And clouds of darkness and dismay
Blighted the Summers bloom
Shut cut the splendor of the day,
And wrsathed the South in gloom.
Whom, from the regions VIII encs there came
The hungry. ravenous horde,
More blasting than tho midnight fl sme,
More ruthless than the sword
There flowed q stream of gifts untold,
Like mama from above:
And words-fAr dearer than the gold
OF sympathy and love.
And dying men with glad surprise:
Flushed red on brow and cheek,
And looked-wlth fever smitten eyes
The thanks they could not speak.
And women raised their waisted arms,
And called on Heaven abovo.
To shield from sin, and ills and charms,
The enemies they love.
And hearts that armies coald not win
Love captured unaware;
His strategy was sympathy;
Bis weapon was prayer.
And still from North. ard East, and West,
The bounteous stream was poured
AS free heaven to man forgiven,
As liberal as the Lord.
Ar d orphans sobs and widcws cries
Were heard on every hand.
And blessings on our enemies
Resoun6ed throu Oh the land.
On every fl over scented gale.
On every stormy blast.
The anthem 1850. God bless our foes!
They've cong uered US 1T last!

Symptoms Of a DiseasedLiver.

DAM in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appc-
tte and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costIyc, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally a considerable loss Of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
satlon Of having left undonc some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet arc cold or, burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that cxcr-
else would be beneficial to him, vet
he can scarcely summon up fortitudc
enough 10 try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them cx-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER TO
have been extensively dcrangcd.

the American Iron and steel manufactur-
ers and producers, was held this Morning
to consider the needs and dangers of bus
mess.
Hon. D. J. Morrill, ir the chair, congrst-
ulated the convention of reviving business
and prospect of rapid advances in prices.
He alluded to the purchase by Vanderbilt
of steel rails from England at a price
largely aboYe the current rates here. He
denounced as false and slanderous story
that the English rails would outlast Amer
ican, and that the latter were inferior to
English manufacture. This assault on
American wares was part of scheme to
break down the protective policy OF the
country. which is the sole guarantee OF the
great and growing iron interest

SPECIAL N T1CES.
CONSERVATIVES TAKE NoTIC1

Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount OF testimony in
favor Of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Sy up, as q cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions Of any other
medicine. see Dr. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates OF many persons of the highest
respectAbilty, who have been restored to health (,
after being pronounced incurable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment Of two other remedies which Dr.schenck
provides for the purposC. These additional RENE
dies are schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, &C.
cording to directions, DR.. Schenck certihes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. schenck is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must b'
addressed.
