JSdiSor Abbeville Press and Banner:
Mr Dear Sir.?-Being compelled
by ill-health and want of relaxation
to leave home for a soason, it is my
privilege to be here. It is indeed a
privilege to leave one's narrow sphere
and to mingle with men of other
8tatesand nations?to watoh their
different manners of life, and to hoar
their views and feelings expressed, as
ne walks their streets, or sails npon
their waters, or rides npon their Bail,
roads, or at I. he sits with them in their
more private hoars in the family;
and it has xxmrred to me that per
haps it may interest some of your
resdors, to hear haw those things im
press a Southerner, and it may bo
that somethings may. tend to help ns
in our inpavorished oondition?for
there is much to learn from oar Nor
them neighbors and from theso peo
ple of Canada.
Taking the steamer at Charleston,
July 3d, I was ushered into a new
world?how different from the quiet
of Wellington I Life upon a steamer
is indeed life, such as a landsman
dreams not of. Though raised upon
the coast, and daily gazing upon the
border of old Ocean, I had never cross
ed the Bar, but year after year had
longed to look upon that mighty deep,
-which seemed so grand and vast, and
mysterious to the imagination even ;
and yon perhaps can fancy my feel
ings as we left the Bock and .the city
began to recede from view!! There
was much in the harbor sadden the
heart, and as Fort Sumter, and Sul
livan's Island, and Morris Island
each camo in view, it was as

Dot of one's friend or child, not ^
of parent even, but his conn try's .
grave yard, whore all had been bu
ried ! It is hard at times when one
comes suddenly upon these things,
and long buried hopes rise like phan
toms -before the eye, to be still and
calm, and to say "Thy will be done,
oh God 1" But it is the present that
-we all, ministers and people all, have
to deal with, and we must, by God's

and hido them in the deep recesses of
the heart, whither we may at times
retire and dwell upon them, as we do
upon the forms and faces, aod char
acters of our dear departed ones.
And now the Bar is passed and the
broad Atlantic stretches before us, as

talk of the grandeur of the moun
tains, but to me there is something
unutterably impressive about the
ocean. Nothing so brings to my
mind the "Great Creator," as these
ceaseless "waters, coming so regularly
too to the shore and then retiring
again, and so beyond the power of
frail man to manage or restrain, and
conoealing in their bosom such count
lets millions of living creatures?the
monster whale ninety feet long and the
tiny little minnow scarce an inch in
length. Well do I remember when I
first learned that the bottom of the
ocoan bad been surveyed?that Mau
ry and others knew the Geography
of the bottom as well as we knew
the land?that Maury said that the
bed of the Atlantic from Ireland to
this country was so level, that it seom
ed made for laying the cable.
The great and most important
point to each man, woman and child
upon leaving land is "am I to be sea
sick?" Upon this depends all. In
the one case it is actual misery. One
describes sea-sickness thus: "The
first day you are afraid you will1 r<
die; the next jou are afraid you i
won't die." I
It was so fcalm that fow "^eto sick

filled with soap, and as it touches
tho earth it sinks and brings up soil
of some kind, and by its appearance
they Vcnow whero they are. Tho
idea of knowing now tho bottom of
tho ocean is?what tho character of
, the mud is, and from that knowing
where they are, was to mo a strango
and now idea. Wo rounded Hatter
as and still no stortn?all calm and

'sunset" as a landsman ncvor can
enjoy. It was glorious beyond my
feeble pen to describe, and I will
leave you to imagino it. The glorious
orb did indeed seem "to sink to
rest" in tho bosom of old ocean.
Saturday at four I was aroused
from my slumbers by a friend, who
called out -'come and see Sandy Hook
and tho coast." I was sood on deck,
and there in tho East was tho same
sun which wo had seen go to rest iu

Mechanics and Professional men i
havo resorted to different methods to (
arrest that mean system of competition}
which takes the form of low charges I
for labor or professional services, in- i
stead of the noble emulation of skill <
and proficiency in one's calling. The t
one resorts to Trade's Unions ; the
Dther to societies and foe bills for pro
tection. Who does not know in this
stage of the world's advancement,
that small compensation begets a
low order of skill in any calling?
Four mechanic who botches his work
)r furnishes poor material, is of
jourse consent with less, and can
ifford to work cheaper than the
skilled artisan, who feels a prido in 1
>very piece of work turned from his c
aand. So the petifogger and driv- e
)ller in medicine and law sneaks v
iround, and endeavors to undermine b
,he skilled physician and erudite law- t
fer by "cheap servicescheap In- "
feed 1 He cannot compete in skill v
ind knowledgo but he can by char- r
;ing little. He can bo known as the n
'cheap doctor," or "cheap lawyer,"
xnd so catch gudgeons if he cannot d
;ake whales. If ho cannot take game t
svith his spear or net, he can catch
minnows by fishing in dirty waters,
svith pin-hook and thread. Every
community is plagued with vermin
Df this kind; the unskilled and un
learned, who, too lazy or too stupid to
jxcel in their calling, appeal to
ihe pockct to sustain them, and pro'
ride bread, bo tho portion ever so
ittlo.
But who is cheated in this cheap
irrangement ? Who ever employed

rho did not rue tbo day, and find
lis bargain very dear in the end ?
Vho ever purchased a pair of choap
hoes and did not find paper in the
oles? And if these remarks hold
ood with regard to mechanical call
ags, bow much more powerfully do
hey apply to professional pursuits,
rhcre excellence is only attained by
illigent labor, and considerable pe
uniary outlay ?
Therefore it has always been con
dered a disgraceful and dishonorable
3urse for a professsonal man to dc
pgrado bis professional honor by
ntering the field of practice, and
:coinm?nding himself to the public
iot by his skill and attainments, bat nl

tion? "Undoubtedly thore aro> jt \g p
to their int**r08? obtain the highest n
oru-r of oxcellence in overy calling, e
and to sustain and support it. Shall
we buy shoes from the man who ma- ri
king thorn of badly lanned leather, g
and paper^soles can sell them at 92, a
and which last two weeks, and refuse
to purchaso from tho honest and f'
skilled workman who wiih good ma- v
tcrial and honost work turns us out
a shoo that lasts for months? Com
mon sense forbids. Common sense
tells us to purchase that which has
the most wear, and is cheapest in tho
end.
Do people carry their common
sense into matters requiring profes*
sional services? Many do, and many
do not. Some seek tho services of a
physician or lawyer on account of his }{
still, some from partiality and a j(
great number because ho is cheap.
Now of all cheap individuals, deliv- t
er mo from a "cheap doctor." I may v
with impunity employ a botcher a ^
"cheap job" carpenter, blacksmith,
shoemaker, or even a lawyer. I say w
with impunity to lilo and limb?but o
from a "oheap job doctor," good Lord ti
deliver me! X could not bo induced
to trust him with my carcass. I have
Been too many "cheap jobs" of this
kind; lame, halt and blind. I have
several times seen death induced by
the cheap fraternity.
The public maylay it to heart that they
can only obtain a fair amount of skill
by a fair remuneration, bo the calling
medicine or shoemakine. and that
man is an enemy of the community
who endeavors to undermine skilled
labor by charges beneath .a fair and
living rate; and the community may
rost assured that such charges by

European Governments in the

ot the least dangerous is the "cheap

It is the interest of every comma,

DUCTION OF DR. BRATTON.
Tho London (Canada) Free Press,
f tbo 17th instant, brings us the full
ctails of tho trial of J. B. Cornwall
Dr tho forcible abduction of Dr. Brat
on, of South Carolina. We present
i condensed form the most interest
ng portions of the evidence.
Dr. James Rufus Bratton deposed
hat on the afternoon in question ho
.Tas walking out on Waterloo street.
ie saw a cao standing in tne aistancc,
nd threo men ; two of them were
tanding in the road, and the other
ras seated on the box ; as he walked
n tho two men separated, one going,
he other coming towards him; tho
\tter he recognizes as Cornwall.
Vhen within about six feet of him
lornwall sprang towards him and
eized him in a rude and violent man
er by the arm and shoulder, telling
im he arrested him under a warrant,
Ie (Bratton) demanded to hear the
warrant read, and desired his assailant
o show cause why ho should be
rrested, Cornwall returned that he
rould do that soon enough. Witness
esisted and still demanded to know
ho reason of his arrest, but received
o satisfaction beyond being told that
0 would And out soon enough. A
trugglo ensued, in the course of
rhich both of them fell to the ground
lornwall knelt on his body and arms
nd proceeded to put manacles on
im, He called the cabman to help
im. After some further struggling,
lie cabman came to Cornwall's assist
nee and hold witness' arm. The
andcuffs were then placed upon his
Bratton's) wrists, and ho was led
etween tho two men, Cornwall on
ae right and tho cabman on the left,
) the cab, into which he was pushed.
Cornwall gavo orders to drive to the
Lation by tho back streets. "Witness
sked that they should drive around
y his boarding house to get some of
is clothes, but tins was refused.
SThilo on the way, witness repeatedly
rotested against the degradation of
qo irons upon his person, and de
landed to know the authority upon
'hich Cornwall proceeded. Cornwall
)ld him to keep quiet, and not create
ny outcry, lest ho should expose
imself with the handcuffs upon him.
Witness returned that he did not fear

<J imillOOWUVS UUt
bjected to the humiliation of the
ons. Upon again demanding to hear
be warrant read, still protesting
gainst the arrest, and telling Corn
all that it was not law, but force
nd violence, Cornwall read a warrant
? his hearing. He (witness) then
xid the warrant did not cmbraco his
ame ; did not call for him, and offer
j no legal prctcnce whatever for his
rrcst. Cornwall then said that, it
as not his province to discriminate
etween persons; hc(Bratton) would
aro to go to Windsor, where he ir
ould hnvo a chance to vindicate te
imself before Mr. Commissioner Ca
>n, by whom the warrant was signed.
ritness objected to go to Windsor,
lying lie was prepared to submit
imself to any authority of this city, j
id he thought that in a place of
vent}' thousand inhabitants there
lould be some authority competent tl:
i HpjiI with him TFo tract tnhl that.
r. Caron was tho only commissioner
r this district, and that lie would
ivc to go bcforo him. He could
so get good legal advice in Windsor,
'hen the cab arrived at the station
stopped, and the driver said the
ain (Pacific Express) was late,
hey then drove up and down one of
e back streets until tho train ar
ced. Then the cab was stopped,
jrnwall then toolc witness to the
lllman car and thrust him in the
icrior par* 01 it, into a small apari
ontwith ono or two seats. Corn
ell said wo ought to get to Windsor
r ten o'clock; no one exoept the
irter came into the compartment
itil we arrived at Detroit; I did
it hear Windsor announced from
c train either by the conductor or
rtcr; when the conductor eallcd
Jtroit he could not got in, and Corn
ill opened the door for him ; so
3n as the door was opened, Hester,
e detective, stepped in and said,
'on go with me now I replied to
jster, when he said ho wished me
go with him, "No, I'm under Ca
dian law, now; that warrant does
t allow you to detain me hero, and
linflor nrntnaf rof'iian tn tT\n
J J v\
ithcr your government, or you, sir,
ve a right to detain me hero, and
pou do, you will pay for it."
At the conclusion of this sentence
3 crowd in court made demonstra
ns of approval, which the court im
'diately suppressed.
Witness continued: Hester then
estod mo on a United States war
it, having tho signaturo of the Pres
ent of the United States written
sreon ; Hester, after I remonstrated
th him, 6aid, ''I will show you that
lave a commission to arrest you,"
i wo then prococded to a room
ero thcro was a light; he then
)\ved me a commission, both as de
tivo and United States marshal,
; my name was not on the warrant;
rnwall was present during this con
ouuun j wo tueo went, 10 tne ponco say
tion, and all my papers, pocket up<
)k, money, &c., Avero taken from \vh
j I was afterwards put into a cell noc
tho polico station ; I was thero for
1 hour or two, when Cornwall and
cstor came and called mc. the
iperintendent. of polico lot me Cixi;
'nere Hester and Cornwell wore;
10 former then asked me to go with
im and Cornwall to an hotel, and I
lftdly acccpted tho invitation ; we
ot a room in tho hotel, with threo
eds in it; I told them if the}- had no
bjoction I would go to bod, and did

hat; I was taken to Yorkville, South
Jarolina, by Hester, and was not al
)wed to i!omo back to Canada; I
.'as not taken boforo Commissioner
!aron, at Windsor, nor any other
Janadian magistrate ; I certainly was
aken across the lines out of Canada
gainst my will on that occasion by
Cornwall.
Cross-cxaminod: Cornwall did not
ead tho warrant to mo until wo were
n Richmond street It purported to
e a warrant signed by Mr. Caron at
Windsor. Tho namo on tho warrant
ras James William Avery. I told
im I could give every satisfaction
hat I was not tho person, and he
aid it was not for him to discrimi
ate. He also replied that at the
roper time there would be a person
bio to testify as to witness' identity.

r Canada. When wo were riding
own Richmond street, Cornwall said
3 witness : "I know you aro Avery,
ecauso I saw 3'ou walking down the
treet with your danghtor the other
ay." The person who was to identi
y mo in Windsor as Avery knows
oth him and I perfectly well. The
abman took hold of me bj the arms
nd held me until Cornwall put the
andcuffs on, but did not after I got
p. I mado no effort to get out at
Windsor, from the fact that I did not
now I was in Windsor.
Mr. Bratram then addressed the
ourfc in a long epeoch on behalf of
is client, contending that the case
ras not one of kidnapping; that
iratton went over to Detroit of his
wn accord, and that Cornwall relin
uished possession and all care of him
fter tho manaclcs were removed. He
poke for an hour.
Mr. Barker also reviewed tbe evi-.
enco, and Bhowed most conclusively
hat tho prisoner had committed the
slony charged, and on both eonnts
f which the evidenco was very direct
gainst him. He recounted the testi
mony adduced and mentioned that
bo evidence given by Bates and
ratton was similar, except in those
oints whore, if the formor had told
'hat ho really knew about the affair
o would have criminated himself,
'ho whole matter, he said, was so
[early proven that no other conclu
ion could bo armed at than that the
risoner was guilty of tho crime of
'hich he was charged.
His Honor spoko of tho offonco in
jrros of condemnation, especially
hen the prisoner was known to be a
ian of undoubted ability, and well
ersed in criminal law. Tho snppo
ition was that the deed had been
smmittod for gain, and for his part,
e could not, reviewing the evidonee
dduced, find any other verdict than
lat the prisoner was guilty of the
rime.
Mr. Barton. On both counts, your
Conor ?
His Honor. Yes; tho chargo on
oth counts has been ciearlj* proven.
Mr. Barker asked that tho judg
lent of the court might be pronounced

f the crimo of kidnapping.

he had anything to say why the
jntenco of the court should not be

VINEGAR BITTERS
Vinegnr Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink,
made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse
Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please tho
taste, called''Tonics," "Appetizers," "Restorer*,"
&c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and rain,
but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots
and herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are the Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving
Principle, a Perfect Renovator and Invigoratorof the
System, carrying o(T all poisonous matter and restoring
the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing
and invigorating botft mind and body. They are easy
of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their
results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease.
No Person can take these Bitters accord
ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided
their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and the vital organs wasted fceyond the point
of repair.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache, Pain
in the Shoulders, Coughs,Tightness of the Chest, Diz
ziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the
Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of
t are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaints
it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guar
aotee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement,
n For Female Complaint*, in young or old,
married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the
turn of life, these Tonic Ditters display so decided an
influjnco that a marked improvement is soon percep
tible.
For Inflammatory and Chronio Rhen?
t mat lam and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious,
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the
' Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitter* have
f been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by
. Vitiated Blond, which is generally produced by derange
? ment of the Digestive Organs.
Their are a Gentle Purgative an well at
a Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of acting
? as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam
? mation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious
g Diseases.

sipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discoloration* of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature,
are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a
] short time by the um of these Bitters. One bottle in
such cases will convince tho most incredulous of their
J curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever yon
' find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples,
J Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is
l' foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood
pure, and the health of the system will follow.

earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms.
3 It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but imon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease.
No system of Mcdicinc? no vermifuges, no anthelmin*
J itics, will free the system from worms like these Bit*
ters.

tinusuM heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied
by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. There are always more or leu
obstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state
of the stomach, nnd great torpor of the bowels, being
clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat
ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walkek's
Vinkgar Bittbrs, as they will speedily remove the
dark-colored vijcid matter with which the bowels are
loaded, at the .same time stimulating the secretions of
the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions

deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions
on the skin, or foal ulcerations on some port of

the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
