TKEATMENT OF SCARLET J VER BY INUNCTION. f j From the first jday of the illness,in4 as soon as we are certain of its nature, jlhe patient must be rubbed morning. a!nd ev ening, over the whole body with a ptec of bacon, in such a manner that, with (he exception of the head, a Covering 0f (litis everywhere applied. In order to! make this rubbing-in somewhat easier, it lis blest to take a piece of bacon the size of he hand, choosing a part still armed With (he rind, that we may Jiave, a firm grasp. On the soft side of this piece, slits ar to be made, in order to allow the oozing out of the fat. The rubbing must be tboro'ly performed, and not too quickly, in oilier that the skin may be regularly saturated with the fat.' The beneficial results of this application are soon obvious. I With a rapidity bordering oji magic, alj, eifen the most painful symptoms of the disease are allayed uiett sleep, good humor, ap pejtito returiff and there remains only the impatience to leave the sick room. I j The advantages of the treatment indi cated may be summed up as follows :; 1. The improbability we might : al most say the impossibility of the patient getting cold while theskin is thus covered with fat a point in no disease more im pprtant than here. J 2. The dry brittleness of the skin and the tormenting itching are by it not only materially alleviated, but generally entire ly removed. Every practitioner knoivs, how often the itching nd burning of the skin in scarlet fever, are unendurable to children, keeping them constantly in dis tressing movement, and robbing them; of sleeping. Ilence children are generally well satisfied with this process, and often ask for its repetition, long before the time is come. f j 3. The influence on the physical functions of the skin is still more important. JDu ring the coming on of scarlet fever the skin becomes diseased, in consequence of which it loses its vital power. Puring this illness, and until a new covering is again prepared for the surface, thje func tions, of the. skin arevery imperfectly per formed, or during theilesquaminatipn pro bably not at all. In order to explain the extent and importance, of the impercepti ble functions of the skin in a merely tne- chanical view of the matter, the ! reader is referred to the accurate-experiment of Seguin, which fix the quantity of 'matter 'throwrrtifF from the outer skin at eleven grains per minute in a grown person, 4nd iherefore more than two pounds pier day. What efforts it must cost the organism to lead so large a quantity into other paths, in ordejr to throw it off, when the skin is incapable of doing so ! ! 4. With this disappearance of the des quamation disappear all those bad symp toms which attend on it. In order to give a striking proof of the importance and bad influence which the interrupted functions of the skiriproduce on the healthy activi ty of relative, even if distant organs, we may cite the fact that death isalWaysthe result where more than one half tjie skin has been destroyed by fire or boiling liquid. A similar destruction of the skinj ensues ' in scarlet fever, with this difference, that 1 it takes place gradually, and thereby Uhe j organism is better enabled, by employing all the activity of the body, to finid aid a i cainstthe mischief which must result from LEGISLATURE OF NORM CAROLINA, Wednesday Nov. 20.

Referred. j Mr. Shepard introduced a series of resolu tions, which we regret the want of room to publish this week, affirming lhat the Constitu. tion of the U. S. was a compromise, which ceases to be a Constitution when its avowed purposes are perverted or changed. That al though we lore the Union, and view its de struction as a great calamity, we nevertheless regard the right to secede from it as a right of self-defence and protection, which the people of North Carolina have never surrendered, and never can surrender, with a due regard to their own safety and welfare. That " whenever a majority of the people of North Carolina shall solemnly resolve that they cannot safely remain in the Union, it is not only their right but it is their duty to secede and punish such of her citi zens as refuse submission to her will, as rebels and traitors." That the right is an extreme remedy, not to be resorted to unless all other means fail. That the fugitive slave bill is con f stitutional, and its repeat or essential alteration j will be sufficient evidence that Congress is un restrained hy the Constitution, and that North Carolina should then decide whether to submit On Geological and Mincrologienl Survey Messsrs.
