THE ADVERTISER. Terms, 93,00 per Annum. Bishop Howe in Edgefield. According to the announcement in lust ?week's Advertiser, the Right Rev. Bish op Howe reached our town on Friday last, and on Sunday following, preach ed and administered the Holy Sacrament and the rite of Confirmation in Trinity Church, which was crowded with a large and deeply interested, audience. The oc casion was an interesting one, and the impression left by Bishop Howe is such as will ul ways insure him open doora, open hearts, and many willing hearers in Edgefield. The candidates for confir mation-all of whom communed imme diately after-were five in number. Bish op Howe will probably visit Edgefield again in June or July. -1 Hil ? . - " A Masker and a Reveller X" The lean and hungry Cassius once taunted Mark Antony-in the days when the latter was in the thrall of Cleopatra with being a "masker and reveller." And so may we say to-day-but not as a taunt -of our young friend Prescott Devon). He has been-lucky fellow !-to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and writes ns a letter descriptive of the gorgeous scenes he behold. His letter isa good one, and we are ob?iged to him for it. A Veteran Takes the Field. Dr. R. T. M i ms (Dr. Dick.) is going to take charge of the Male Academy. See his announcement, and that of the Trust ees, in another column. Who is not glad to hear of it? Dr. Mims has always been more or less of a student, and-to say nothing of English-he is perhaps as fresh to-day in classic lore as he was thir ty years ago. We congratulate our com munity, and wish the Doctor most flat tering success. Where Is It, Senator Arnim -. We allude to our Railroad charter-the charter of the proposed Road from Spar tanburg via Laurens, Ninety Six and Edgefield, to Aiken or Augusta. The proposition for this charter passed the House safely someten days ago. But what has become of it in the Senate ? We neither hear nor read a word about it. And hope deferred maketh the heartsick. Where is it, Senator Arnim ? We look to you. We trust upon you. We beg you neither to slumber nor sleep. And, fur ther, we beg you to remember how this charter business, on a former occasion, was delayed so late in tho session, that the opportunity was given to Scott to pocket and l?de it-which, of course, he did. Lot him not have such another chance, if possible. A Bally Proceeding. Our young friend, Mr. James Cobb, of | the Brunson Dry Goods Establishment, presents us with a package of superb Smoking Tobacco-genuine old Durham. And upon tho package is stamped a great big Durham bali. Now why may not this be called a bully proceeding. We cannot resist the opportunity for a pun ; and still we earnestly hope some one will come in and give us the fatal blow for our vulgarity. But that is neither -here nor there, so Jimmie Cobb sells the To bacco. They have an immense quantity of it-just arrived. But rush-or it will be gobbled up before you get there. A New Democratic Paper. We are very glad to place upon our exchange list a new and promising Dem ocratic paper-from a field where it was much needed-the Orangeburg Times. The Times is published by Hey ward & Beard. J. S. Heyward, Ewq , is the edi tor. The Times has our unfeigned good wishes. The Power ol Early Recollections. Ourold friend, Horatio P. McCullough, who has lived and flourished Tor years past, on the Richmond line, below Au gusta, was lately troubled with early recollections-to the amount of two splendid Hams. In other words, he thought of his old home and his old friends, and, having plenty and to spare, he rose up and sent the Advertiser people a couple of such Hams as they never saw or tasted before, of his own raising and of his own curing. Well done, thou good and faithful old fellow ! The Jackson Wagon. Six months ago, or such a matter, Jes sup, the Carriage ant: Wagon Merchant of Augusta, sold a Jackson Wagon to our townsman, H. W. Addison, Esq., and since then we know of a round dozen which have come from Jessup's into our vicinity. Dadeed no wagon is now considered better than Jessup's "Jack son Wagon." Therefore cast a very at tentive eye over Jessup's new advertise ment in another column. Extending His Borders Immensely. We mean Dr. Sanders. He has a new advertisement this week which it is de lightful to read. His lists are ravishing; his prices are fairer than the fairest ; and he himself is a model of the suavitcr in modo. The Sanders Establishment is extending its borders tremendously-as you will see by referenco to the new ad vertisement. ?Sflhe Canton (Miss.) Mail says: " Of the Pittard family, in the Beattie'* Bluff neighborhood, in this county, oui of nine members who were living on Christmas day last, only two are nov alive, and these arc children. It was the disease of pneumonia that went through this family with its fatal effects.'' Dr. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., in bb book on Chronic Diseases, says in regard to his Golden Medical Discovery, with which our readers ure familiar : .?. From its wonderful power over Consomption of the Lungs, I had thought strongly ol calling it my Consumptive Cure; but from the fact that it is a perfect specific for the sore throat and hoarseness to which ministers and other public speak ers and singers are subject, and also for Bronchitis, and ail severe Vaughn, and is an invaluable remedy for diseases of the Liver, and also as a Blood Purifier, 1 de cided not to apply to it a name which might mislead and prevent its use in oth er diseases for which it it is so admirably adapted. "ltwill eurea cough in ono half thc time necessary tc-cure it with any otb ci medicine, and it doe* it not by drying il up, but by removing the cause-subdu ing the irritation and healing the affected parts." A WHOLE PEOPLE'S OPINION.-When a nation of forty millions accepts and en dorses ns a STANDARD RESTOKATIVE an article that it has had the fullost oppor tunities of testing during a period of twelve years, who can be so absurdly in credulous as to doubt tho excellence ol the preparation? PLANTATION BJTTERS has passed through this ordeal and is now the most popular proprietary medicine on this continent. It would bc difficult td find an adult of either sex between the Atlantic and the Pacific, or beiwecu the northeast corner of Maine and the Guli of Mexico, vhodoes not know, either from personal experience or observation, tliat tnis renowned vegetable remedy is the purest tonic and stomachic and the finest alterative and regulating medicine at present before tho world. As a pre ventive of, and cure lor, diseases genera ted bv malaria, and as a specific lor dys pepsia, rheumatism, and all nervous and Difious affections, it is admitted to be fairly pronounced the Favorite House hold Tonic and Alterative of the Western Hemisphere. MAKE HOME ATTRACTIVE.-Nothing adds more io ?he handsome appearance of a house outside, and to its cheerfulness inside, than good clear window glass, anc. bright-colored ornamental glass at fin sides and over thc tops of the doors. '1 ht first lets in ali the bright wann light q. the sun, while tho latter admits thc light at the same time that it shuts oil* the viev. of prying eves. The BcVt French am American glass, both plain and ornamen tal, as?wcll as doors, scshes, blind.-, bal usters, newels, mantels, Ac, are to b. had of Mr. P. P. TOALE, NO. 20 Hayne street, Charleston, S. C. Not Ku Klux. WASHINGTON, February 20.-Hamp ton, Butler and*Kershaw,of South Caro lina, are here, asking a hearing before the Ku Klux Committee to vindicate them selves from charges made by Senator Edmunds that they were Ku Klux lead ers. THE MILITARY PRISONERS.-The York ville Enquirer says: On Thursday after aoon last, the following York county pris oners were returned from Columbia for imprisonment here until their cases are disposed of: R. T. Riggins, W. H. White, J. P. Little, M. S. Bowen, andR. P. Cald well, white; and Sam Stewart and Frank Fewell, colored. J. S. Miller, who was tried at the recent term of the United State Circuit Court, has also been sent here to serve out his term of imprisonment, which will expire on the 2Sth of March next. Including those returned irom Columbia, there are now twenty-two military prise-" ners in confinement here." ?S- One of the Columbus (Ga.) cotton factories has just made its fourth annual report, showing a profit last yes.r of $204,000.

Sinking Slowly* Diseases that progress rapidly to a crisis are not the only ones to ba 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 the swiftness of yellow fever, is as sure to sap the springs of life eventually as any acute disease, if not checked by invigo rating medication. There is something inexpressibly touching in the spectacle of premature decay. Languor, pallor, ema ciation, depression of spirits, and a dis taste for exertion, are its ordinary symp toms, and they should be promptly met by tonic treatment. The best in vigoran t and exhilarant that can be administered in a case of this kind is Hosteler's Stom ach Bitters. The stimulating principle of the preparation rouses the dormant energies of the system, and tho strength ening and regulating properties give a permanent ana healthful impulse to the vital forces thus brought into play. The failing appetite is re-awakenecL the pro cess of digestion and assimilation are quickened, the quality of the blood is improved, the secretions become more natural, and every organ that contributes j to the nourishment of the body under goes salutary change. By these means the repair of the physical structure is ef fected and its health and vigor restored. In no class of diseases has the beneficent operation of the Bitters been more mark ed and striking than in those character ized by general debility and nervous prostration. Ladies affected with these ailments find in this most wholesome of all tonics and correctives the safest and surest means of relief. It is strong to restore and powerless to injure. Such is the uniform testimony of "clouds of wit nesses." FROM DAN TO BEERSHEBA.-From Charleston to Dahlonega, from the sea board to the mountains; can be seen a marked improvement in the style of buildings in the last five years. 'Villa ges and farm houses all present a more elegant and comfortable appearance. The reason is well known. It is because in that period the wholecountiy has learned I to patronize that celebrated manufacturer ?of Doors, Sashes and Blinds, Mr. P. P. ! TOALE, Charleston, S. C. 3 THE CELEBRATED FERTILIZERS.

This year I planted eighty-five acres in Cotton, poor land, and used three tons of the Wando Guano. I made, packed and sold forty-eight bales, weighing 400 pounds. The three tons were applied to 45 acres, which produced 31 bales For ty acres, better land, was unmanured, and thc result was only 17 bales. The cheapness, and thc intrinsic worth of the Wando, places it upon a monied valua tion. E. H. YOUNGBLOOD. EnoEFiELD, S. C., Jan. 10th, 1872.

Al MAIMCTlif COMPANY Have prepared a Special Fertilizer adapted to the Cotton Plant, under the name of COTTON FOOD! Which they claim to be of the highest grade of Fertilizer sold in the South ? and guaranteed to equal in its results Peruvian Guano, pound for pound and to be of more permanent benefit to the soil. It has been used by SEVERAL HUNDRED PLANT ERS in North and South Carolina and Georgia for two Seasons with the following results : It increases the crop from 100 to 200 per cent. , It resists drought in all cases. The crop is not affected by rust. It matures the crop three to four weeks in advance, thus insuring the crop against early frosts, or in the event of a backward season for planting enables the planter to put in his crop three or four weeks later, even as late as the 1st June, with a certainty of success. It produces a better quality of Cotton. Looking at the low price of Cotton, the intelligent planter will readily comprehend the necessity of using nothing but the highest grade of Ferti lizers, and of strictly avoiding those whose value has been reduced by adul teration, or the use of cheap materials under pretence of meeting the low price of Cotton, If his crop* is only doubled by the use of " COTTON FOOD" it will givs him from one to two hundred per cent, profit on hie outlay, with Cotton at 12} cents per pound, and it will enable nim to plant fewer acres with a cor responding reduction of labor and expense with better results. $55 per Ton, in Sacks, 12 to the Ton.

"The Cottop manured with the 'Cotton Food' grew oft' more promptly and vig orously, and whilst I made no comparison of thc results, I am sure the preference was in favor of the * Cotton Food,' and so much am I impressed with this 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 GR Ah AM & BUTLER, Augusta. "I used 100 lbs. ''Cotton Food' to the acre, in the drill, on Mulatto Land, mixture of sand, it increased the yield one hundred per cent I used several other kinds the year before and I decidedly prefer the 1 Cotton Food.' It gave perfect satisfac tion, so much so that 1 shall use it entirely another year. H. W. ADDISON, to GRAHAM ?ft BUTLER, Augusta; Ga. "I used 75 lbs. 'Cotton Food' in drills on light red land, which produced 103 pounds Seed Cotton to the acre. It compares favorably with the best Fertilizers in tho murkot. My crop was increased about 50 per cent, and gathered bj' 15th No vembcr. I am well pleased with it." J. L. ADDISON, Edgefield, S. C., to GRAHAM it BUTLER. Augusta, Ga. "I used about 266* lbs. 'Cotton Food' per acre, one-half in the drill at time of planting and one-half in the first furrow, second plowing in June, on sandy land, clay subsoil, verv poor old field, a portion taken m last year and a portion this, it produced twelve bales on fifteen acres. It has paid better than anv Fertilizer I have ever used. Have been using Commercial Manures ll years. Do not think the land without manure under best circumstances would have produced 5 bales, Most of ruy Cotton was gathered by the 25th of October, and had no Yellow Cotton. I have talked with several of my iieighlx>rs, who Suite witn me in saying, there is no better manure for the Cotton Plant. The ' Cotton Food ' has paid better than Peruvian Guano previous to the war." Augusta, Jan. 17 2m_4 M. 0'DOWD, GROCER AND COMUViiSSeOfti Merchant, 248Broad Street, Augusta, Ga.
