The Hon. Alexander II. Stevens sa}** : "The Globe Flower Cough Syrup has proven a most valuable remedy to me." Gov. James M. Smith, of Georgia, savs : ? "I shall always use it with perfect confidence, and recommend it to the public as a remedy which will afford that satisfaction experienced by me and mine. It cxcells everything for coughs, colds and obstinate lung affections." Ex-Gov. Brown,yf Ga., says :?"He finds the Globe Flower Cough Syrup a most excellent remedy." Such endorsement by our great and good men deserves tlie attention of the atllicied. Those suffering from caugh, colds ami lung affections should use the Globe Floxvcr Cough Syrup.

The one issued by the "Hampton Portrait Company," of Charleston, S. C., is engraved in line by Mausiiai.i., and will be of imposing appearance, and life-size. There is also a print out representing the Governor. Wc suggest that our people wait and see both pictures, before choosing which they will have. Marshall's famous engravings ate attracting unusual attention. The superb large line engraving of Washington, from Stuart's celebrated oil portrait in ibe Huston Alheiucutu?a plate | valued at ten thousand dollars?when originally brought out about ten years ago, at once placed ' Mr. Marshall in the very front rank of engravers, ancient or modern, meeting, both in Europe I ami America* the most extravagant encomiums | of artists, critics, and men of judgment. It was j even selected lor exhibition at the French Acad- j cray of Design, an honor accorded to none but ' the very highest works of art. It is, moreovertlichcs .ndcud the only satisfactory^pcylxaiA- , of Washington that exists, and is the acknowledged standard "household engraving" of him. The lute Edward Everett said of it : "The magnificent engraving of Stuart's head of Washington, *lt is truly a superb work." lhincrot'l, the historian, writes: "1 have been for some years a collector of the many different engroj. ; vings of the portraits of Washington. This is beyond comparison the best of them all?the only one that is perfectly satisfactory." Mr. George S. 11 i I lard, the well known art critic, says: "Were it the head of some unknown person, a lover of art would be glad to have a copy of the engraving for its rare intrinsic merits, ami every American should be ready to make some sacrifice in other ways in order to possess so satisfactory a representation of WashingUm," Marshall s 11. E. Lee, just out, is a wonderful 1 work, and in a few days his "Gov. Hampton" will go to the people of South Carolina and the country, a noble tribute to a great leader, who conquers bv his high character and by peaceful means, not by the sword.?Setra and Courier.

As one of tho proprietors, i am auenuing lu its atiairs until otlicr.and pcrinnncnt airaiigcments arc concluded. I originated the project of a portrait of Governor Hampton in a high stylo of art, thinking it a worthy manner in which to recognize his Lxcellcticy's public services to the people of this State daring the past six months. Those scrvi- j ces entitle him to be presented to his country- j men every where in a style equal to that in which Washington and Lee and other rcresentativo gentlemen of the country are shown.? Time was required for this great work, that care and skill should muko it perfect. Its publication has been anticipated by another issue, of the merits of which the public can judge. In seleclingan artist the gentlemen associated with me have given preference to Mr. Marshall.? Gustitvc Dure, the great artist of France de- j clarea him to be 'the veritable master of art in America.'

As the photograph lias superseded the oil-painting, because ot its exact reproduction of the subject, so this | roecss is bound to take the place of steel engraving, or any method which ilepcmls upon artistic conception and execution for result?we mean for the production of portraits. What the people want in a portrait is truth ?they do I nut wish the artist's conception of a man, but the face uud features of the man as he is?and by no means can this grand result be better attained than by the means of photography, and this new process based thereon, lint while these great ad v in '.ages arc secured, it admits of the embellishments of art, and a portrait is produced possessing ali the iruthfulne.-s of a photogni] h, with the artistic effect of the ] steel engraving. The publishers have been extremely fortunate in their selection of the muilr by which they give to all admirers of the great statesman tlie noble, generous, manly features, which speak so plainly the gieat mind, elevated feeling, and generous heart of Wade 11 amnion. Those who worked for the grand cause, "Hampton and Home Rule," who have paid taxes to the government of their choice, can now place this picture at their firesides, as they have placed its subject in their hearts. It must become one of the "Penates" of South Carolina. Those who sympathized with the gallant little State in the struggle against such tremendous odds, will be pleased to have this portrait in their homes?a glorious memento of a peaceful, : noble effort of a liberty-loving people to redeem j themselves fiom oppression and misrule.

Fire-Proof, Water-Proof, Durable, Economical and Ornamental. A roof may bo covered with a very cheap shingle, ami hy application of this slate be made to Inst from l*t? to 2o years. Old roofs can be } patched and coated, looking much better and lasting longer than new shingles without the slate, for One-third the Cost of Re-Shingling. The expeuso of slating new shingles is only about the cost of simply laying them. The paint is fikk-1'rouk against sparks or tiyiug embers, as may he easily tested hy any one.
