Lloyd, of Florence, S. C., to that of Grand Scribe. PERSONAL. We were much pleased, a few days since, to receive a call from Col. C. 0. PORTER, while making a hasty (too hasty) visit to Sumter. Col. PORTER is a gentlemnn of large heart and noble bearing-a type of the Old Virginia gentleman. He is, too, a man of oapital. We shall always wcloomo such men, cordially, to our midst. Wc were also gratified by a call from Mr. UPSHCR JOHNSTON, of the cotton facto? rage and commission house of MERCER & JOHNSTON, of Baltimore.

YATES, of Charles? ton, who is special Agent for the Atlan? ta Department of tho Southern Life Insurance Company, of which Mr. A. Wny K, of this place, is local Agent. This Company, despite tho assuults from unfriendly Northern sources, has continued to move on in its career of | almost unexampled prosperity, justly becoming one of the most popular of the Southcrr Companies. Its assets are now put down at over $700,000, and over six hundred lives were insured during the month of December last. We take great pleasure io recom? mending Mr. YATES to the courtes}* and confidence of the peuple of this portion of the State, and tho Company he represents to their continued and increased favor and investment. He proposes to spend some weeks iu this and the adjoining couuties. )fc?r A lusty three-cornered fight, be? tween three of thc feminine gender, of African extraction, occurred a few days ago, on thc public square, ('routing the t.ourt House. Attt vincere aut mort seemed tobe thc insignia of battle, and yet it was hard to mark the opposio parties-they all seemed to be enemies, and some ungenerous by-stauder rudely suggested that the casus belli was a man.

Wilcox, Oibbs A Co. : I hare not replied earlier to your Inquiry as to r< latir? merits of tho fertilisers used in this vl einity, from the fact that the crops of cotton were not sufficiently matured to enable me to form an accurate opinion. Wo were then in the midst of j a drouth without parallel for duration ?nd se? verity in the memory of Ibo oldest inhabitant. Not a rain from first of May till last or August, and the result of my observation is, I know ot none whiob excelled your Manipulated in enpn oity to enaure long and ?overo drouths. I usod the Manipulatod on very thin gray suil, with stiff clay substratum, at tho rate of 260 lbs. per sore, and shall make about COO lbs. seed cotton to tho acre. 1 left a small spuco uninanurod, which will not mako more than 160 lbs. per acre. I have had no rust even, on ground predisposed to it. I. therefore, conclude, in viow of these faots, th .nt your Manipulated is at least equal, If not suporior, to any fertilizer used in this region-and there wore a number of varieties used, too, nt that.

Indigestion not only affects the physical health but the dispositions and tempers of its victims. The dyepeptio becomes, too, in a measure de? moralised by bis sufferings. Ile is subject to fits of irritation, sullenness or despair, as the case may be. A preternatural sensitiveness which be cannot control, leads bim to miscon? strue- tho words ond acts of those around bim, and bis intercourse oven with those nearest and dearest to him is not unfrcquently marked by exhibitions of testiness foreign to bis real nnturo. These are tho mental phenomena of the disease, for which the invalid cannot bo justly held re? sponsible, but they occasion much household dis oomfort. It is to the interest of the home, cir? cle, it is essential to family harmony as woll ns to the rescue of the prinoipal sufferer from a state not far romoved from inoiplent insanity, that these symptoms of montai disturbance be promptly removed. This can only be dono by removing their physical cause, a derangement of the functions of tho stomach and its allied vis? cera, the liver and the bowels. Upon tbeso threo important organs llostetter's Stomaoh Bit? ters aol simultaneously, producing a thorough and salutary chango in their condition. The vegetable ingredients of which the preparation ls composed aro of a renovating, regulating and alterative charaotor and the stimulant which louds activity to their remedial virtues is the purest and best that can be extracted from the most holeaome of all core?is, vis: sound rye. No dyspeptic can take this genial restoratiro for a singlo week without experiencing a notable improvement in his general health. Not only will his bodily sufferings abate from day to day, but his mind will rocovor rapidly from its rest? lessness and irritability, and this happy change will manliest itself in his demeanor lo all around him.
