Mr. Whitteuiore introduced a bill tc provid( for tiic speedy apportionment ol State appropriations made for the sup port and maintenance of free common Bchools. In the House, Mr. E. Cain introduced a biil to appropriate $10,000 to the county of Abbeville, for the purpose of building a court house for that county. Referred to tho Committee on Public buildings. On Friday, the 26th, in the Senate, the Committee of Ways and Means reported a Bill, making appropriaten for the coming tLscal year. No appropriation is made in it for tho payment of the in terest on tho public debt. Three hundred thousand dollars are given to tho Public School*. Tn thc Senate, a B'.Il to cancel the lia bilities of the State on the Hine Ridge R ilroad came up for consideration. The Bill pn vidcs that the State p?y all in debtedness of thc s< vera] Railroad Com? panics which constitute the Blue Ridge Road, upon the surrender ot" the four million-j of guaranteed lsmds. The Treasurer is authorized to issue louds of the Sfa'.e to no limit, and sell them to pay thc indebtedness, lt ls calculated that the i tate will, under this, have tc pay sonio six or seven hundred thousand dollars for the Blue Ridge Road. The Bill also confirms the sale of the State Stock in tho Blue Ridge Road On its consideration lt was denounced by Les lie, Cardoza and others r.s an outrageous measure, and tho Senate finally voted to postpone its consideration until Tuesday, the 20th. In the House, Mr. Briggs, from the Committee on Agriculture, reported un favorably ona bill to grant aid to the State Agricultural ami Mechanical Society.

Con ?iderable discussion followed, showing a favorable disposition, but an unwilling .less to adopt the measure in the shape proposed until the Foreign Relations 'ommittee reported. A vote to suspend he roi** resulted : Veas, 23; nays, 109. The bill was then referred to the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs. ; iS'iSr Miss Jane Cameron, of Greenville, was accidentally burned to death on Thurs day. fi-a?* A colored boy named Walker Gibbs, aged about eighteen years, accidentally shot himself in Aiken on Mondav last, md died an hour or two afterwards from the effects of the wound. ??g* A den of the United Brethren was ?Tganized at Chester last Monday even ing.

S. Guignard. iu Lexington, when one of them, named West Prince, was killed by another, named Noah tuignard-the cause of death being a ?dow from a stick, by which tho neck was broken. Noah was employed by Mr. Guignard, and West was engaged oh the enlargement of the canal. An hi lliest was held, yesterday, and a verdict in accordance with the above facts ren dered. AK AFFAIR OF HONOR.-An unfortu nate difficulty occurred, last evening, (.says the Columbia Phoenix, of the 25t??) ( tween Mr. Phillip Porcher and Mr. E. \V. Seibels. Thc latter gentleman was standing in front of the Columbia Hou-l, ibout 7 o'clock, when Mr. \' ?cher ap proached him and lema'- 'cd an explana tion of certain derogatory remarks which he had beard that Mr. Seibels made about iiim. The explanation no; being satisfacto ry, Mr. Porcher drew a cowhide and struck Mr. Seibels several blows across the fae. i'he insult was promptly resented by Mr. Salbeis, and a fisticulf ensued, until Cap rain. Tupper and other friends intervened md separated the parties. Bot h the gen iemen are highly respectable citizens, and .a the malters in controversy between them are purely of a private nature, we . irbear further comment. j2f?>~ Every soldier in the service of the I nited States costs the people an average Bf $1,000 pei annum, or $2.7,> per day. General Sheridan, desirous of coddling loyally, treats the Prince Alexis toa buffiilo hunt, during which he has to em ploy two companies of United States rroops, bf seventy men each, for not less :uan ten days, as guards of honor. So fhe gnard alone that accompanies Sheri ian's little parly costs the people, the ax payers, $3,850, while the incidental xpen-es will loot up much heavier. ;heridau has exactly thc same authority, ays the Patriot, for taking out tho peo ie troops to play, and spending the poo de's money in pleasure parties that he iiad to r et up martial law in Chicago. ?f?T A little girl was told to spell fer ment n::d give its meaning, with a sen tonco in v. liich lt was used.

Bd?rtiel'J, S. H.; F. b 1. 1872. Maimed et Mr. Tillman'? Commu nication. Tho Daily Union, the Radical organ in Columbia, is disquieted over Hon. G. D. Tillman's plans and propositions, as pub lished in the last Advertiser, and writes ii long piece to prove that the Democrats of Soutli Carolina arc a signally dishon est sot of men. As for thc mass of thc negroes, if they could only see it, it were far better for theui, now and in the long run, to fall into the hands of the Demo cratic rascals than into those of their Radical friends. Tho Democrats would at least let them vote with shirts on their hacks, while the Rad?enla will soon sond them to th? polls naked and with empty stomachs. But wo shall doubtless hear from liff Tillman again. - - < -.?><?-....- -- / The .M*:*? Fxcilius ?Rc i ?dram* ol the Day. / Tho most exciting melodrama of the day han boon thc trial o^Mrs. Wharton, at Annapolis, Md. Tb/s trial, after last intr over a month, was concluded on thc 21th of Januaryy/and tho wretched wo man, accused of poisoning relatives and friends, wasl7rnnounceu' by tho Jury Not GuUO'." Tho closing scone is de scribed/s one of absorbing interest and excitement. Audience, prisoner, Judges, layers, jury, all found it difficult to praintaln their equilibrium under thesin gularly solemn and impressive circum stances. Thi* unfortunate and apparent ly deeply wronged lady is not however ont of her troubles. She is to bc tried again in April upon an indictment for j poisoning a Mr. Van Ness. Mr. Van Ne^s, it will be remembered, was des perately ill in her house, but recovered. Wc doubt very much, though whether she is ever brought to trial upon fid* in dictment. Without something developer Itself in the meantime pointing moro di rectly to her guilt, wo earnestly hope j she will net. If Mrs. Wharton is inno cent-and God alone knows ?-then her accusers ought to be hanged. Denih ol' Two Distinguished ?Ileo. Ex-Governor Thoma'; Bragg of North Carolina, and Genl. Robert Ewell, of the Confederate Army. Ex-Gov. Bragg was the elder brother of Gen. BraXton Bragg, and, it will be remembered, succeeded I Mr. Benjamin as Attorney-General in tho cabinet of President Davis. He was born in Warren County, North Carolina, in 1S10, and died in Raleigh ten days ago. Gen. Robert Stoddard Ewell died, at his homo, in Maur/ County, Tonn., on the 2?th January. His name is indisso lubly connected with that of thc groat | and good Stonewall Jackson, in whore ! corps he was a division General. When ! Stonewall Jackson wai* wounded in the : battle of Chancellorsville (May 18193) General Ewell succeeded him as leader in the tignt. Ile was afterwards made Lieutenant General and placed in pernia- i nent command of tho Second Corps of the South. Ile was wounded in the bat tie of tho Wilderness in IS64, after which ho retired from active service and as sumed command of tho Department of Henrico. Since the war Gen. Ewell has J lived in retirement. He was a nativo of j the District of Columbia, and aged fifty two years. .--. Thrown off hy a t:?irj?ei-Ka? ?sro. Gov. Scott has fallen low. A negro man of Charleston fiouts him in tho pub lic prints Wc are obliged to say, how ever, that Delany has always been a far more respectable man than Scott, and this proceeding of his certainly adds to his respectability. Hear what " Major Delany" has to say for himself: " To his Excellency/ R. K. Scott, Governor of South Carol h'm. SIR : I have thc honor herewith to re sign my position as Aid-do Camp, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, on your Staff. Facts the most palpable have de veloped themselves to such an extent j that I cannot, with respect to myself, and j iustico to the cause of my race, and the people in general, longer continue the relation without a compromise of princi i plo. I have the honor to bo, sir, your most obedient servant, M. R. DELANY." 'ihe Worst in the Wor'd. Daniel Voorhces, the distinguished Democrat has declared in Congress that tho existing Southern State governments " are tho worst in tho world, without any exception ;" that they are worse than the government of Tammany, or Dahomey, or the Fiji Island? ; that " thcro is noth ing computable to them anywhere else," not even in Mexico or Abyssinia, and that "they are unparalleled in their ini quity, their infamy, and their igno rance." Thc New York Herald commenting upon this speech of Mr. Voorhees, says : -"And there is more truth than poetry in these denunciations. Behold, lorin Stance, what a ness of it greedy and reckless carpet-baggers and ignorant and credulous ne?ro Solons have made of i ?io finances of South Carolina and of broth- j erly love in New Orleans ! " For thc Advertiser Mn. EDITOK.-Thc article in your last J issue by Hon. G. D. Tillman is ono of! practical wisdom, and should infuse new life and energy into the stagnating views of the Democratic body, lt appears just at the time when the party, like a ship, which dismantled and descried on asea of uncertainty, .'Floats idlv, sport of thc tempestuous tide, With no port to shield and no star to guide." Although, Mr. Editor, thc plan propos ed in the article to which I refer, is not in itself a guarantee of success to tho party adopting it. still it is at least feasi ble in this: it has gained victories for the Democracy. Wo need not, however, expect to win without a struggle. Tho people of South Carolina, though bold and chivalrous in all other respects, too easily and too tamely submit to political defeat ; and though they never quailed in front of battle, are in despair at the result r>( ono campaign. Having been taught to bo honest in all things, and under all circumstances, thoy carry this teaching even into politics, and consequently, nro no matches for their wily and unscrupu lous ?pponents. Thc motto of tho Dem ocratic party should be, Keep up the fight in ono form or another, until tho goal bc Attained ! Tho property holders of our State, can never cxpeof lecislation to be other than onerous to thom until the property they hold be represented, ei ther by some of their own number, or r>tbers whom they may control But tho Democratic party, which may be said to hold nearly all tho property in tho State, is in such a hopeless minority, that it can >nly exercise a controling influence in the councils of our country by seducing, us it wore, thoso disaffected ones from the Radical ranks, who can bring votes with them. It has olten been said by he Poet and Orator, though seldom by the Philosopher, that truth and right will prevail, Indeed if this be so, heaven would be little preferable to earth Ad Tutting, however, that; Truth is mighty ind will prevail in all matters and things iubbunary, How docs it do so? By rradually drawing to its causo thoso of in opposite tendency,-i.e. by educating hem in it* principles. But when could he Democratic party of South Carolina ?nvert Radicals enough from their ways >f abomination to overbalance the scale?? Nothing short of tho terrors of hell itself n immediate prospect, could turn some if that party from their worship of mom non. This is true.of the scalawags and arpct-baggors. As regards tho negro element, it would be necessary t i combat natural ignorance in addition to moral depravity. Tho negroes, although a few ut' them pretend dissatisfaction with their party, are a unit in the main ; and expe rience has taught that it is utterlyimpos sible for any one, hailing from the other side, to alter their opinions. Triumph over radicalism, which, in this State, is merely a synonym for the most unblush ing effrontery and abandoned rascality, can only be achieved by tho instrumen tality of those who can influence thc negro vote ; and this instrumentality must come from the ranks of those in affiliation with the negro. Lot them bo Radical by pro fession, we may make them Democratic in practica. There1 is one circumstance very favora ble U> tho plan of Mr. T. Tho radicals wft quarreling among themselves, over their booty, like a Hock of crows over tho dead carcass, and having gorged themselves to satiety, sit and eye each other with distrust and jealousy. There ave some, however, who were not in at the feast, discontented and angry,-they are willing to embrace any opportunity to gratify their appetites. Let us take them end mould thom into something like decency. This manner of introdu cing proselytes into our party from the opposition, and which has been so face tious dubbed thc "Possum Policy," has no disgrace attached to it; there is cer tainly no deception practiced. The ob ject is to destroy the unity of thc radicals by offering emolument to those who will renounce their allegiance, and uso their influence tu carry out the principles of Democracy, which to say the most, are no worse than this: Do on as little.as yon can, and steal as little as yon caji do up on ; in contradistinction to the precepts and practice of thc other party : Keep all you steal, and steal all you can. Though the picture, Mr. Editor, of a rampant possum, over the form of his prostrate enemy, radical, with thc mot to " ste .semper tyrannis," (which means now, take your foot off my neck, if you please,) may not comport with the dignity and prestige of our own loved Palmetto, yet it might be thc means of restoring our State to something ol' her wonted peace and happiness, when she was neither slandered from without, or hectored within. H. Sinking Slowly. Diseases that progress rapidly to a crisis are not the only ones to be dread ed. Canker or dry rot does not blast a tree as suddenly as a stroke of lightning, but unless arrested it destroys it as cer tainly ; and in like manner chronic de bility, although it does not kill with thc swiftness of yellow lever, is as sure to sap the springs ol' life eventually as any acute disease, if not checked by invigo rating medication. There is something inexpressibly touching iii tho spectacle ol prematuro decay. Languor, pallor, ema ciation, ilnprcs>ion of spirits, and adi'? taste for exertion, arc it? ordinary .-ytup t'.Hji-, und they should bo promptly nu t by tonie treatment. The best invigorant a?id exhilarant that CHU he administered in a case of this kind is liostetter's Stoin adi Bitters Thc stimulating principle of the preparation rouses the dormant energies of the system, and the strength ening and regulating properties give a permanent and healthful impulse to the vital forces thus brought into play. The failing appetite is re-awakened, tho pro cess of digestion and assimilation are quickened, tho quality of the blood is improved, the secretions become more natural, and every organ thatc attributes to thc nourishment of the body under goes salutary change. By these means the repair of tho physical*structure is ef fected and its health and vigor restored. In no class of diseases has the beneficent operation of the Diners been more mark ed and striking than in those character ized by general debility and nervous prostration. Ladies affected with the*e ailment* find in this most wholesome or all 'onics and correctives the safest and surest means ol'relict. It is strong to restore and powerless to injure. Such is the uniform testimony of "clouds of wit nesses." - . TRANSFORMING TIIK COMPI.KXION. The transformations produced by HA GAN'S MAGNOLIA BALM are quite as as tonishing as any scene on the stage of a theatre. That famous beautifier, trans mute a sallow, pocky looking complex ion, into one in which the lily and the rose vie for admiration, and imparts to a dry, harsh skin, thc softness of perfect loveliness. Tan and freckles, which country air and sunlight are pretty sure te produce, in spite of parasols and sun downs, are completely obliterated by it ; while it has a perfectly magical effect in banishing undue redness,'blotches and pimples from thc skin. When the lady who has used ii to remedy her complex ional defects looks in the mirror, she is equally astonished and gratified at the improvements in her appearance. Every blemish hos disappeared; her neck, arms and bosom, now rival in whiteness the snowy collar which encircles her throat, her check mantles with a peach-like bloom, and she is ready to invokea bless ing on the inventor of tho article which has wrought such a delightful transfor mation.

At the early age of sixteen years, this dear child was called to her reward. The race was sharp, but it was not long-the battle was tierce, but (ho victory com plete, lier sickness, through a period of nearly ten weeks, was a beautiful illus tration of Christian patience and resig nation. Though subjected to tho most intense sufferings, a murmur M'as never beard to escape her lips; and just before she expired, in reply to the question, "Are you ready to go?" she replied, "Yes, readj' and willing; pray that 1 may havestrcngth tn bear my sufferings.'' lier dying chamber furnished a scene over which an angel might have wept tears of rejoicing With a calmness ut most supernatural, and un earnestness bordering on inspiration, she addressed father ana mother and brothers and sis ter, with appropriate words of exhorta tion and comfort, and urged them all to meet herat her Father's home in Heaven; and tho response from heat is almost breaking with (.'riet', " By the grace ni (.iud we will meet you there," registered in God's great book of remembrance, will, we doubt not, be in them nil Ihe be ginning of a new life, even that which "is hid with Christ in fiod." At the ago ol'fourteen, thc subject of this notice professed religion, and united herself with the M. E. Church South. Endowed bv nature with a warm and af fect!' :iate disposition, gentle and affable in bc; manners, she was tenderly loved by her teachers and companions, all of whom, on seeing this notice, will drop a tear of svmnathy with the more nearly bereaved, uer "devotion to her family, and to her mother especially, was most touching; and the struggle between sepa ration from one so loved, and resignation to the will of God. was severe indeed ; but even in this, she obtained the victory, and her last words to father and mother, were words of comfort and of hope. Sweet child ! Not dead, but sleeping! Rest in peace in tho bosom of your moth er,-earth ; and when the angel trump shall wake you from your calm repose, God grant that you majr meet again, la ther, mother, brothers, sisters, friends, in thai blessed land, where there is DO sorrow, no night, and where " death is swallowed UM in victory."

BY LETTERS PATENT. ?L SPECIAL FERTILIZER, prepared by the Maryland Fertilizing and Manu facturing Company, Baltimore, for the cotton crop, which they claim to be of the highest grade of Fertilizers sold in the South. It ha? been used by several hundred planters in North and South Carolina and Georgia for four seasons, with tho following results: s It increases the crop from 75 to 200 per "cent. ; rt resists drouth in ali cases. Tho crop is not effected hy rust ; it matures the crop from three to fear weeks in advance, th as insuring against early frost, or in the event of a backward season enables the planter to put in his crop as late as' the 1st June with a certainty of success. It prodnces a better quality of cotton ; its effect on the second year's, crop with out additional manure, rang?s.from one-third to one-half of the first ytar. Its mechanical preparation surpasses that of all other Fertilizers, being at all times and in all conditions of weather hi perfect order for drilling. . PRICE IN AL CL'ST A-$60 CASH* $65 TIME. It is sold on the basis in quality of Peruvian Guano, poundfor pound. Agents are instructed, when planters uso it side by side with the best Peruvian Guano In equal quantities, to refund snch amount as will make it equal if it fails to produce as much cotton as the Peruvian. Numerous testimonials can be had at the offices of the agents. Orders will be filled by GRAHAM &. HITLER, Agents, AUGUSTA, GA. CERTIFICATES. R q*.i - . . - _ Gen. M. C. BUTLER, Edgefield. S. C.

Pernvian Guano to the acre." - Jil M Thc Cotton manured with the J Cotton Food' grew off more promptly and vig orously, and whilst I made no comparison of the results, I am sure the preference was in favor of the ' Cotton Food,' and so much am I impressed with th hi belief I shall use it exclusively this year in preference to all others. The Cotton manured with it was not affected like the others by the drouth, and matured three weeks earlier. I also applied it in a small way on Corn with the most satisfactory results. " J. H. HOLLINGSWORTH, Edgefield, S. C., to GRAHAM <k BUTLER, Augusta. ".I used 100 lbs. 'Cotton Food' to the acre, in the drill, on Mulatto Land, mixture of ?and, it increased the yield one hundred per cent.

ADDISON, to GRAHAM & BUTLER, Augusta, Ga. "I used 75 lbs. 4Cotton Food' in drills on light red land, which produced 1000 pounds Seed Cotton to the acre. It compares favorably with the best Fertilizers In the market. My crop was increased about 50*per cent and gathered by 15th No vember. I am well pleased with it" J. L. ADDISON, Edgefield, S.C., to GRAHAM <fe BUTLER, Augusta, Ga. " I used about 2Gtf lbs.
