Catarrh'conslstsonnflamroatlon beginning behind and a little above tbe veil of tbo pal ate. and extending upward into the nos< and air cavities of tne face. It creates a per petual desire to swallow, and causes a leel log as if something was sticking in the up per and back part of the throat. As the dis ease becomes chronic, the matter concrete! into hardened lumps, the matter secretei becomes purlform, the breath is offensive and tne voice assumes a nasal twang, while on rising in the morning, great effort is re quired to dear the head and throat. Then is ol ten a feeling of pressure across tho lowei prfrt of the forehead, causing headache, dlz slness, and contusion of thought and loss o; memory. Tbe sense of smell becomes Impaired, tin eyes are weak, and, as the inllammatlon extends up the eustacelan tubes In to tbe internal ear there is partial deafness with throb bing. humming or ringing noises in the ear In sleep the Catarrhal matter is unconsciously swallowed, which. In time, deranges the stomach and impairs digestion caucing dyspepsia and a multiplicity of discordant symptoms, which are olten mistaken for other diseases. To tho foregoing, font ?Hot bvflrv iimn.Hi of air drawn Into the lungs is drawn over the diseased surface, festering with Catarrhal matter, and who can deny the assertion that to ncglca Catarrh Is to invite Consumption: Consumption Is the one prevailing disease, at the present day, with which the yonng and middle-aged die. And yet very seldom do the lungs receive the primary shock 11 Is first "a cold In the head," which resolve* Into Chronic Catarrh, from which the suieul feels no alarm, until, step by step, it reaches the lungs, when all attempts at cure are little better than blind experiments. With every Incentive to enjoyment and usefulness, there are hundreds all around u? dying In the morning of life, of Ccubumptlon, who can 100k back six months, a year, or longer, as the case may be, to a time when it was "but catarrh." Neglected at a time when (properly treated) a cure was possible, silently and almost imperceptibly it ha* transformed the bright, raddy features oj youth Into the dull, wan listlessness of pre* mature age, as It has drunk up the vitality from the blood and fluids of the wasted frame, and now, when hope is dead, and the life forces one by one are ebbing away, the mind turns mournfully backward to what might have been," and tremblingly forward to what soon must be. CONSKQlENt'EN U* A?Ui.bii. Those who Indorse the stupid assertion that "Catarrh will get well of Itself," or it curable by Hnufllng or Inhaling the now trums In common use, will do well to remember that the I oral disease depends always upon afermenlalive condition of the LIchhL Medical writers are wont to speak of Catarrh as a simple local inilammatlon, and both Its importance and rational treatment are either wholly ignored, or receive but a passing notice from the general practitioner; and thus Catarrh as surely predisposes t?j Consumption as does the day precede the night, and is in fact the prelude to that disease in eight cases out of ten. The disease Is everywhere prevalent; people resort to such means as always fail, then give heed to the popular fallacy that it is incurable, and settle into a sort of meutal apathy, encouraged by tho belief that the family physician knows all that is known on the subject, and thus matters stand, whilti the disease progresses until hope is dead, and life becomes a mockery, when comes thr stereotyped and hackneyed advice of -4n v hilt to the country," -a cuttugc Ui i lmiait, "a sea voyage," "a return of health in the spring/' etc.; but, alas ! the country referred to 1b mat which lies beyond the confines 01 the festering grave, and the spring In thai season which blooms eternal when life's fit ful fever is over. Let, those who donbt this portrayal of Ca tarrh question the poor consumptive, whose sun of life is going down at noon, or watcli Its progress upon those who neglect its time ly and Judicious treatment.

SomK Fnrlhcr Notes from Our I.nte Correspondent. 1 ? Wheeling, March 23d, 1869. To the Kdltor of the Intelligencer: One of the great drawbacks of both whites and blacks at the Soutli, as of very many peoplo elsewhere, is whisI ky. It is the fashion of the country down there to sell whisky in the village groceries and some ot the cross road stores, just as it used to be in this country. Aud people who are considered respectable and even leading characters are not above frequenting these groceries and taking their drams, and taking them often enough, too, to come forth qnite the worse for their load. I think it likely thnt the most villainous liquor In the United States or , elsewhere, is sold in these Southern groceries. In the first place, much of it comes originally from Cincinnati, stopping at Jjouisvilie, perhaps, for remedication?which is a suspicious olr > cunistance of itself, and, in the next , place, I presume from what I have heard that the Southern standard in regard to fluch spiritual matters ran down nearly to zero during the rebellion, and finally became very much demoralized, indeed; so much so that at - this time an interior article of even Cincinnati whisky, duly remedicated at LiOuiBville, and, perhaps, again tampered with at Nashville, satisfies the cravings of the thirsty Southron. 1 have heard thatduring the war those who were accustomed to a free use of [ the ardent would drink corn juice fresh and liot from the still, with the fusil oii all alive aud rank in it, rather than go without their necessary stimulus. It was thus perhaps that many of those who survived both the whisky and the 1 war, acquired their present uncritical , and somewhat degenerate capacity for the article known as benzine. The whisky groceries of the South rejoice in the advent of "Court Week," for then conies their harvest and great f reward. Court week is an institution in the South that we cannot duly ap[ preciate in this country, especially the lation clad in homespun. The former, | that is tho horses and mules, are hitchl ed all uround everywhere, in front of : the stores, groceries, shops and ollices, wherever there are hitching accommo; dations. The oxen stand in the square [ anywhere, yoked to their load of wood ; or cotton, or whatever it may be. It is t not unusual to see six steers yoked to ; a very small load, but then the steers ' are of a very small and scrawny pattern, probably not more than one-third I as heavy as those used in this country. ' You naturally wonder what brought i all these people to town on tho first day | of Court. 1)j thoy all have business ? with the lawyers. If they do they must i certainly be the most litigious people \ iu the world. I am impressed from all I ; heard and saw that tho lawyer's Para' diee, so far as personal inlluence iscon! cejued, :s at tho South. And I can thus 1 understand why it was the people in so ' many localities oll'ered so feeble a reI sistance to the Secession movement, The lawyers are the father-confessors of thousands of them and were virtut ully tho keepers of the consciences of i all such, for universal intelligence does prevail at the South,and the peoplo are not as independent and self reliant in their business matters as they are at ! tho North. A lawyer at the South re- ? minds us of our readings of the Priests i in Spain, a kind of intellectual machine i for very many peoplo. During Court ! week they move about among tlie peoplejuiucb, I suspect,as the liralimius are accustomed to move in and out of their temples among their votaries in the domain ot Juggernaut. The outside of tho Southern Court houses that we happened to see was not prepossessing, and the inside of the one 1 went into to behold a Court in sossion ' was still less inviting. It was scanty in , all its accomodations for the public.and , dirty enough not to have been cleaned ' since the war. Down stairs, on tho i ' opposite sides of n dark and cheerless r passageway, were tho county (.'dices. . The rooms looked more like cells than .,ih,.du Ho ufitirs the (,'ourfc held its sessions, and on either side of the pul' pit where llio Judge ant, und the little , pen whore the lawyers confronted the . two benches belonging to the Jnry > were little aiBles at the ends of which h ' few people were huddled with their J backs tar the lire. The Judge, a super rior looking man, sat in his pulpit, pen in hand, making memoranda, as I took it, in the docket. The Jury were sitting listless and mute, for no lawyers were about, and the spectators before the wood lire made no other sign than now and then to whisk their homespun J coat tails and scratch their legs. I thought these were the most solemn proceedings I ever looked upon, and really it was a relief to see the tip staff put his head out of the window and call John Doe and Richard Roe into court. As it was near the middle of the day the Roes and Does were supposed to be refreshing themselves along with their friends at the Groceries, for you must know that in thiB shire town ' where I attended Court there was no tavern. The travel is too Bcant and the 1 whisky business too promiscuous for a tavern in that little place to thrive. They say that it is something more than ordinary to hear the Southern lawyers when doing their level best in a big case, as for instance a murder 9 trial. Then is the time that a Congressional aspirant puts himself squarely on his mettle and tickles the ears of the llatening orowd with such swelling periods of pathos and bathos as melt iimm Hwav entirely. Amusing inci dents are told as to some of the Judges that get upon the bench in the Sonth in these days, as illustrating their high > qualifications for the positions they till. Somewhere, in Alabama or elsewhere, a learned Judge delivered a charge after the trial of a case between two partners , in one of these groceries that I have been talking abont, in the course of whicn he 1b reported to have said that "if the jury believed from the evidence '* that the plaintiff and defendant were partners in the grocery, and that the 1 plaintiff bought out the defendant and gave his note for the interest, and that the defendant paid for the note by delivering to the plaintiff a cow, which he 10 warranted *not breechy,' ana tne warranty was broken by reason of the breechinesB of tbe cow, and the plaintiff drove the cow back and tendered her to m the defendant, but tho defendant reiU8ei1 lo receive her, and "the plaintiff took her home again and put a heavy yoko or poke upon her to prevent ber jumping the fence, and the cow in j attempting to jump the fence by reason of tho yoke or poke broke ber neck and died; and if the jury further believe N that the defendant's iuterest In the grocery was not worth anything: that the S plaintiff's note was worthless, and the cow good for nothing, either for milk or beef, or for green hide, then the 3, jury must find out for themselves how they will decide the case, for the court if she undeastands herself?and she thinks she does?don't know how such a case should be decided." j But don't Imagine that every small place we were at was minus a tavern. ? We have a lively recollection of a tavern that we stopped at in the State of Georgia, for several hours. If we had been travelling in Kentucky I should have taken it for granted that we were at the veritable- Confederate er Cross Koads place, where Nasby keeps nt his Post Office aud Bascomb keeps his or grocery. Indeed, as it was, I was'al* most persuaded that the man before us,, standing behind the bar dispensing fluids, was none other than the venerable Haacomb. I wish you could have seen the old fellow. They called him "judge." They call nearly everybody at the South either judge or Colonel. There are not half as many titled people in all Kurope as at the South. A man must bo a common individual indeed, who cannot boast of a handle of some sort to his name. Our host was having a good run of trade, and I think he must have been having it for sometime, for evidently he *i?d not had leisure of late to shave or to change his shirt, or even towashhimBelfand do full justice to his hair. As we came in with our carpet bags and sat them down near his big wood Are, be turned his largo owly ?yes upon us, and for a few seconds seemed to be quietly estimating our probable cash value to his bar. There was a big barrel ol whisky where we deposited our traps, and there were several kegs more in the rear of the counter, and I don't know how many new decanters there were on bis shelf. The names on their gilt labels exhausted the entire nomenclature of the business, and ran from whisky to Port and Madeira. Thinks I to myself aa I warmed by the lire and scanned the catalogs of their iabels.it would be a nice old drink of Madeira that a man would get in this shanty,snre. Perceiving that we were not dry as yet the "judge" withdrew his attention from us and concentrated it upon several others who were showing more signs of taking something. And it was it sight to behold bow some of those old veterans, and some not bo old, inoluding several specimens of onr African brethren, could toss offafnll glass of raw and unmixed whisky and never blink an eye or gag the slightest tritle. The thirsty sons or Japheth and Canaan drank promiscuously from the same glasses I.-. .1 ~ T /I I<1 nn? nnHna no luuy tauio up, nuu x uiu uuk ?uni.u that the venerable Bascomb pretended to rinse the tumblers. I think it likely that his notions of water were confined exclusively to purposes of navigation. Going out the door of the bar room to see about the prospects for diuner I noticed a thin speciemen of a short man with a revolver sticking out of one of his breeches pockets, and another one out from his vest like a large breastpin. He was very war-like indeed in his appearance. As several rather hard looking men weregronpad in his vicinity I thought at first that we were at length to be gratified with a speciemen ol a fine old southern shooting scrape, in which pistols, without coffee, for several, were to figure. But in this first Hush of expection I was disappointed for nobody said a word to this promeuading arsenal and he himself looked very chilly and doubled up like as he moved slowly around on the edge ol the crowd. As I came up to him 1 ventured to ask what was the trouble. Looking at me with a rather reserved and magisterial Bort of an air, he remarked "we'll have a trial d?d soon." I saw that he had a darkey under arrest, and 1 ventured to inquire what the fellow had been arrested for. Preserving bis solemn and awe inspire ing manner he sententiously observed, "the warrant says enticin away niggers." Thinking that I had perhaps sounded the depths of his profound nil lure us far us was discreet oil 1111 ab? rapt acquaintance,1 passed on to reconnoitre the dining room of tho rickety old ark iu which we wore stopping. On returning to the bar room I noticed Ibis solemn man in tho act of putting himself outside of a glass of raw "Robinson county" whisky, lie had left the darkey in charge of an aid decamp in order to come in and fortify himself against tho cold, for the weather was quite chilly. Presuming on our former conversation, I observed to him that he seemed to be seeking a little comfort in the discharge of his duties, "Yes/'said ho, "ri feller can't live without it a mornin like this." Then swallowing tho contents of his glass he proceeded to .pull out of hia pocket, not one of his revolvers, but a stump-tailed black pipe, and in his deliberate and solemn manner, began to knead some tobacco in his hand to fill the Bttill pipe. WIlUU tlllOU HI1U llgULeU "C stuck it between his broken and blackened teeth and begun to pull for the smoke with great vigor. As ho passed nt, I could not help thinking that if tie were only to go home now and add an ouiou or two to his brenlh, what a nice sweet scented bod-follow he would be. The people in our country hero don't know how to ohew tobacco, or Hinoke either. They should go down South and take a few lessons. I once heard a fellow Kitting in the sent before me in the cars, in speaking of some persou to a companion who sat basldo him, remark that it was "/ntniit to hear hiin talk." 1 should say that it is just the reverse of "fatnin" to see some of those people chew and chew, and squirt aud squirt, through hours of conversation. When they are not chewing, or taking their meals, or sleeping, they are most likely taking a seige at a pipe, and it is enough to dry up h man's gartric juices, and destroy the tone of his stomach, and make him grow thin from sheer sympathy, to witness this excessive use or the weed. When night comes 1 wonder that there is anything left inside some of those people, and how they go on Sdigesting their food for years is a mystery indeed. Perhaps this over-indulgence in tobacco is the reason why you do not meet with so many clear and reddy complexions In the South as in this country, and why the hair in Ro many instances appears llinpy, car roty and dead like. When tuo great reforms that aro agitating and evangelizing some portions of the country roach the South, things will be different, hygienicallv speking. It is lair to presume that the "coming man" will not spend so much of his valuable time, money and health, in the use of any one narcotic And speaking of that "coming man" In the South,let me tell you that us I rode along on my mule the other day through thousands of acres and millions of tons of iron ore, I could not help thinking that the "coming inan" in that country would not be a lawyer, nor a doctor, nor a preacher, but I more likely a man after the pattern of our friend, the Major, who rode with us for several days, and who has been directing the attention of capitalists at the North to the untold wealth that was waiting to be developed under our feet. Having Been all phases of iife, been rich and poor, travelled extensively, mixed and collided with all sorts of men, and finally having added an experience of four y oars of war to this collection, he had naturally become a philosopher and a cosmopolitan, liberalized and desectionalized, and prepared to appreciate men wherever he lound them for whatever he found in them, that is the schooling to make the right sort of a man lose ail the prejudices of birth, education and association, and lit him with a stock of ideas for doing business on a big scale. To such a man the lesson of the war was plain. It taught him that ths resources of tho South were to be opened up fully and treely to all who had the skill, the labor and the money,to invest In them. It taught, him that those vast deposits of iron were there to build cheaper railroads than any of us have ever yet seen, so that within a generation there will be scarce a town or village in all these United States, so small or unimportant but that it will have its railroad connection with some main line. I was amuBod at the reoital of a conversation he had with a New England I Congressman some months ago, during a visit to the North. You need not be I shaping a distinctive policy for us in Alabama, with the Idea 01 any pi-nunnent discrepancy between us and your own people, said lie. We have all the elements,and more, that have made New England what she is, and we are going to have yonr Lowells and your Tauntons, yodt ootton mills and your iron works, right among us. Wo have the climate, the soil, the water power, and the Inexhaustible raw materials' of , manufacture to attract your labor and your capital, and they will as certainly T come to us from you as that they origi- J nally came from Europe to you. These _ are quick times and Slates will grow ? and develop with railroad speed. The future will not resemble the past in scarcely any particulars. So look out about the programme you are marking out for us, and make it big enough, broad enough and liberal enough for n not only the present but the luture of us all, your children and mine. II Was this not more statesmanlike th talk than Southerners were formerly wont to use, either at the North or at home? It sounds, I fanoy, like the ut- Tt terances of the "coming man" of the 31i New South. There is a day not far distant when well-paid labor and cheap . livelihood will unite to develope that W1 country. At present it is not so. La- is bor has been too long crushed and de- ] graded. But what was once written in .. England is being re-written in the South. "Surely as much food as a man 'el can buy, with as muoh wages as a man to can get, for as muoh work as a man jn can do, is not more than the natural und inalienable birthright of every man whom God has created with , strength to labor, and with hands to work."
