Prom the Chronicle <fc Sentinel, 4th. Greenwood nod Augusta Railroad Meeting. Prom a gentleman of this city, in at tendance as a delegate to the railroad bar becue and meeting held at Greenwood. South Carolina, on Thursday last, in fur therance of the projected road, to connect Augusta with tue prosperous and fertile upper districts of South Carolina, we have the gratifying assurance of the favorable results of that meeting" in adding a fresh impetus to the project in which the com mercial interests of our city are so direct ly concerned. About three thousand persons were in attendance from the surrounding districts of that section of Carolina earnestly seek ing a railroad connection with the market of their choice. Among the participants were quite a number of colored men, heartily in accord with tho enterprise, and willing to did to the extent of their ability both bv sub . 8criptious of money and* labor. ?u evi dence of their earnestness in the matter, several shares of stock were subscribed by them on the spot. The citizens of that section are thor oughly enlisted in this enterprise, as a means of opening up to their agricultural I .. flucti access to a nearer and better .*t? ha u their present railroad facili wil! enable them to reach. Indeed. ? of them do not hesitate to declare a failure of this project will -render it necessary for them to seek other localities in self-defense. The universal favor which is accorded- this projected line by our South Carolina friends ?was manifested in the mo3t unmistakable manner at the mee'; ng. They went there prepared to ? .vira the enterprise by subscriptions ?ike of money, labor and material neces sary for the construction of the road, wh":h were made with a liberality indica tive of the enthusastic appreciation of the great advantages which its completion will secure to them. As an evidence of the faith of our rie . Is, we have the information that in -'. -.?rhood of $200,000 was sub . v the -meeting-Gen. P. H. Brad . -.: taking 2o0 shares, and Hon. Clark] of this city, subscribing u-. a; his contribution to the en - un the other side of the river. > certainly an encouraging exhibit of | . ...:<- f the meeting, and should serve ?ulate oar commercial and business * > come forward at once with* full .. - io <ho w our Carolina friends that : : ??sensible to the interest of | ni ns n iii;-matter, and that We will with connection at such place ie Savannah river as mav be selected. Augusta was represented in thc meet : Hon. John M. Clark, f. T. Heard, Capt'. Wm. I. Delph, Wallace I. li v^q., Capt. O. N. Butler, T. W. . le, L3q.. Dr. R H. Land, and- Mr. Anderson. As Chairman of the delega ba, Hon. John M. Clark addressed the meeting, giving assurances of his belief | that the citizens of Augusta would do their full part in constructing a ?inc of j road and bridging the Savannah river, so as to meet the Carolinians on the other side. We trust that our merchants, capi talists, property-holders and other citizens interested rn the growth and expansion of the trade of Augusta will see to it that these assurances do not excite hopes great er than shall be realized. The meeting was also effectively ad dressed by I. T. Hoard, Esq., and "Capt, O.'-N. Burler, of Augusta, and bv Gen. Bradley, Capt. W. R Bradley, Mr." Blake and Mr. Hemphill, editor of the Abbe ville Medium. The projected route of this road is known to those familiar with the proposed loca tion as particularly favorable to a cheap construction of the hue to the Savannah river. ,-Qf about 55 miles in length, the line runs along a ridge, between two creeks, the. en tire distance to the river, with no expensive bridging until thc river is reached. A meeting of the corporators was held on the occasion, Gen. P. H. Bradley being called to the Chair, and Capt. Wm. L Delph, of Augusta, elected Secretary, The Chairman stated the first business in order was the selection^ ol a suitable place to hold thc next meeting, and the; time of holding it. On motion of Dr. J. D. Xeal, it was de cided lo hold the next meeting at Chiles' X Roads, on the loth inst., and at Dom's Mines, on the iJS'th inst. . ? On motion of Maj. -C. Wright, a coru-1 .mittee was appointed to arrange a pro gramme for the meeting at Chiles X Roads, and to engage speakers for the oc casion, consisting of Dr. J. D.Neal, Chair man, Capts. J. W.

A COLORED Kr-K;.t x S? RAISIN CAM PEN.- the Camden Journal of the 1st says: On the 15th ins;., near English's Mills in iui5 County, oi;e Harry Moline, a col ored man, wai visited late at night by certain parties, who knocked at the door of his iiouse and asked if he was in, but not waiting for an answer, burst open the*] door, and rushing in to the number of fif teen or twenty, fell upon thc struggling Harry and threw him to th* ground, after which they slipped a bag or cap over his head and tir cl it tight aroun? his neck. They then tied ii is hands and feet, and earned him a ? ..: distance in the woods, when ll ey fir liv. deposited him upon the ground, anc. lasing sticks beat him until thev thouglt he was dead, cut off a piece of his ear, and untying him left him there. After some hours herecovered sufficient ly to drag himself home where he has been ing in bed ever since. Ie has told several persons f hat he re cognized the parties who beat him. by the cap slipping off while the beating was ad ministered, and (hat every one of them iras a negro, though there was one * who was*lighter in color than the rest and he, .said Harr)', might have been white, but I don't think so. The ca?se, cf the beating was alleged to have been that Harrvbewitchedhisaaugh ter-in-law, who has lately died. For fear lest Radical sceptics may dis believe this, we have fortified ourselves with abundant proof which shall be forth c ; :.g if needed.

The following is a full text of Bauks" letter, wherein he comes out squarely for Horace Greeley : BOSTON, July 31,1872. MY DEAR Sir. : I have the honor to acknowledge rv+his note, in addition to our conversation tooday, the receipt of your invitation to address the citizens nf Lynn, on Thursday eveninrz, in support of the re-election of the Grant policy and his ad ministration. No invitation could have greater weight with me from any part of the country, nor from any portion*of my fellow-citizens, and it gives me great pleas ure to assure you that nothing could be, added to your suppliions as thc repre sentative of thc citizens of Lynn, to in duce me to accede to the request. Their kindness of many years apo is a continu ing life remembrance, and not'ing would give nie greater satisfaction than to renew my .associations with them ; but I regret to say that I am not in ccord with them in regard to the Presidential canvass. Against my wishes and personal interests, I am compelled to believe and to eav that the perp?tuation of the present policy of the Government, i? not for the advantage of the country, and that it will not tend to establish its former good and prosperity nor to promote the interest of anv class of its citizens. No personal fe^lin" of nriy form or character enters into tj ind? ment. * It is in view of general principles and public interests alone that I am led lo this conclusion. Tho uniting of the masses* of people of' all parties, sections and rares in support of the grand results of thc war. is indis pensable to the permanent establishment of. a general recognition of these results : it can be secured by no other Truans. We shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner or later. This uniied action on this ivsis has been the hope of my life. I fervent ly desired it during the war and in the reconstruction of the States subsequent to the war. I believe it is now tendered in good faith in the nomination of Greeley, and, for one, I cannot reject it. It was what I desired; its consummation although . sudden and startling, dhes not alarm me." My duty to my country and mvse]f re quires me to give him mv support. I c*n jiot advocate before your friend- a ?h'fi?r ent course, which neither my judgment nor mv heart approves. It grives me most deeply to separate myself, ih thought or act, from any one of those with whom I have so long associated, and to whom I am so greatly indebted; but I believe that the result will justify my action, give to the country peace and prosperity, whirl) is the pbject of our labors, and secure to every citizen civil and political equality and freedom, which was won by the sacri fice of so many valuable lives. Accept the assurance of ray lasting ' friendship and esteem, and believe me, Yours, trulv, 3ST. P. BANKS. Too Late. The Administration party for nearly four years has had matters pretty nuc?; its own way. It started With great ma jorities in Congress, and it was almost equally strong at the North and South. The people were not difficult to please, and Hope told flattering tal s without number and without restraint. And this is the Administration which now fiuds it self put upon the defensive and. forced to resort to a hundred expedients to save it self from utter ruin. In South Carolina, for instance, a. State in which the so-called Republicans have run riot, pilling up day by day the public debt, and carrying on a systematized plundering winch it is fright ful to consider, the real .Republicans arc .just buding out that lip party can stand the Scott-Moses style of managing mat ters. Judge Orr and mon of his way of think ing are socking to defend Genera] Grant in South Carolina against himself, and to save him from the consequences of his own blindness in giving thc control of the State into perhaps the. very dirtiest-hands that ever manipulated the public money. Grant's tax-gatherers and treasurers have extorted and stolen tho money of the poor, and Grant's soldiers, -it the point of the bayonet, have backed up the thieves. The powers at Washington come rather tardily to their work of regeneration. Judge Orr, Mr. Corbin, and trie rest of the quasi Republicans of the Slate have allowed the knaves to have their own way, while the Head-Centre at Vvasii?ugion.has.beeji deaf ft) complaints which have been loud enough m the cars .:' every body oise. Now the Grantiaus have discovered that the State mast be redeemed-from Grant ism! that Messrs. Scott iV'Co., must be sent to Coventry: and that the matters in the poor bankrupt und plundered State mu>t be .somehow arranged before the next election ! And loudly they call upon the Greeley and Brown mon to help ih??m in the desperate wiri: which Ihey hijve undertaken! Xow. thc funniest feature of the whole case i-- .1 ange ( br's prescription for the evils which aiilict the State. H<* wants aH the white men to 'declare for Grant" .-.nd ally themselves with thc regular Re publican pari y. Tho State and National elections do not com: togeihe: :" but queer ly enough, ii there is '<> be any reform of Mate ailairs, Judge Orr means th:.; the Grant party shall Lo vi- ali thc benefit of it The self-styled Reformers have been asked to k.-cp tile State ai ' National canvasses --parale out,'a.-- they do not see how any thing is to be made for Grant by doing that they arc but little inclined to do it. Tlie Grantites uro offered th? privilege of hading the State Ri form which :s so ter ribly needed ; but they cannot understand how anybody can be a Reformer unless he i- ready to vute for the renomination can didate. Tliey seem to have some muddled notion that th? Grant party alone cu;: get them cut of it. . Judge Orr may bc exceeding ih love with reform, but it is rather auspicious to find him of the opinion that reform means declaring for Grant !" His remedies are altogether too universal. Are you squee/. ed to death by taxgaihers--decjare foi Grant ! Arc you torm?n led by domicili. - ry visits-declare for Grant !

Two GRAVES IN ONE.-A gloom is again ca?t ov< r our eily by the death of two of her aged citizens, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brooks, who departed this Hie on Thursday and Saturday ]n>i, respectively.

THE ADVERTISER. Kdgeficld, S. C., Aug. 8, 1872. The Election ln 'North Carolina. ' The election took place, in North Caro lina, quickly andquietly. on Thursday last. From the.first, both partios have persistently claimed the victory. Thc official count is not yet made, but we feel wo are juite safe in mying that the Con servatives have elected their State ticket and achieved such a victory over Fede ral patronage and Federal power as is unknown in tho history of party politics in this country. Tn this election tho Radicals were more than ever powerful and unscrupulous, The neernes were compacted into a solid mass, by the Leagues and tho use of i'.oney. There may have been individual exceptions, but tho great body were moved like a machine. Persuasion and intimidation were employed, as ono or the other was deemed most efficient. Enormous sums of money were raised in New York, and drawn from the Treasury by public officers under false nrofpytc^ to corrupt tho ballot box and import fraudulent voters from the ad ?p?p?fts: States. -Nothing was left undone that norvcrse immunity, audacity and knavery could sngtmst. as useful to carry tho election. But ovr'nll this the Conservative0 have triutnph?rl bravely and patriotical ly. There is a clear and emphatic ma in-jtv in the old North State against Radicalism, and this majority the Con servatives have brought to the polls. . A Raleigh dispatch,' dated the 6th. says : All the counties have been heard from except ten western counties, with a vote thus : Caldwell has gotten even with the Shipp majority of 1870, and in the re maining counties each candidate stand?i an even chanco. Eight of the countiosi to hear from are in the 8th district, anc. the eleven counties already heard from in that district gaveMerrimon a net gain of over one hundred each. Everything turns upon this, and the Democrats are hopeful of maintaining the gains. The Republicans are .quite confident, and claim . Caldwell's election. The excite ment is subsiding as the people have be come exhausted from excitement. Ttie Latest From North Carolina. The telegraphic dispatches from North Carolina, of August 6th, the latest, are multitudinous and confusing. Tho re sult is still undivided and uncertain. Merrimon and Caldwell, the gubernato rial candidates, are lip and lip. Both par ties still claim the State. Out ol' the eiglit Congressmen, foin* Democrats are elected beyond all doubt. One of these is Gov. Vance. Three of the other Districts have elected tho Republican candidate. One is still doubtful. The Legislature is large* ty Conservative. Sumner's Incontrovertible Letter. This week we lay before our readers, thc late famous letter of Senator Sumner. Tl?s man, Sumner, is a giant in moral and intellectual torce. And that a South Carolina editor should say such ? thing -should feel called upon to say such a thing-is a startling proof that times do really change, and people with them. . This all-convincing and totally-incon trovertible letter must necessarily con vert every intelligent colored man who is a free agent. Thc negroes of the South v. ill never seo it, never hear of it-that is, not one in a hundred-but the colored men ol the North and West cannot but yield to its clear proof and open honesty, And there is equally much in it, too, to open die eyes of the white Eepubli cans. Since this letter, Senator Simmer has written another, equally excellent, to Speaker Blaino ot the House of Repre sentatives, who reproaches him with affiliating with Democrats and secession ists. From this last letter- we clip the following passage : What has Preston Brooks todo with the Presidential election ? Never, while a sufferer, did anybody hear mc speak of him in unkindness, and now, after the lapse of more than hali a generation, 1 will not unite with you in dragging him from the grave where he sleeps, io aggravate thepassions of a political con flict and arrest the longing for concord. And here is the essential difference be tween you and meat this juncture: 1 seize tile opportunity to make tho equal rights of all seeme'through peace and rou aiciliation, but ihi* induite boon yul ivoido postpone.

For tl dates at which we put commencement i pickmc, ?kc., Ac, we take tho average i estimates and statements sent to us. Ol letters are mostly dated about tho lol July. MISSISSIPPI.-The weather since 15) June, is reported to us as having"bce warm with frequent showers and mue more favorable than during same, paric last year. Our correspondents have set or heard of army worms in twenty coui ties, and boll worms in sixteen, but gei ? orally only a few of these insects ha? appeared *in each county. The plan with very few exceptions, fa represente as being well formed and bolled. L borers continue to work well. Pickir commenced last year, about 1st Septen ber, and will probably begin this yei in early planting, about20th August, ar in late, not b?fore 10th September. LOUISIANA.-The weather has been i some places too dry, but generally wan with frequent showers. Latterly te milch rain has fallen in som o parish ? particularly in those adjacent to thc Mi sissippi river. The earlier part of tl Top is well formed and bolled. The 1 tor is jronerally uoinir very well, but said to be not "fruiting" well in POTT parishes, especially in those on the Mi sissippi river, already mentioned as ha' inp: had"an excess of wet weather. Scare ly any complaint is made of labor. A1 erago of estimates in. relation to con mencement of picking, place it last ye? at about 31st August; this year, in earl planting, at about 16th August, and i late at about 10th September. Tho ann worm is reported as havinsr appeared i twenty and the boll worm in eightec parishes. TEXAS.-The weather since 15th Jun has been very favorable, much more f than last year. The plant is in fine coi dition, Well formed and bolled. No cou plaint is made of the labor. In some i tho lower counties picking has airead commenced, but taking the average i our reports for the whole State we fin that it will begin in the early plantini about 13th August, andinthe'late (aver small portion of the crop) about 1st Sej tember. It is said to have been genon last year about 22d August. A few arm worms have been reported in ten, an boll worms in seven counties. ARKANSAS.-The weather since 15t June, has in some parts of the State bec seasonable, in others too dry, and i others too wet ; on the whole riot favor: ble. Throughout the State, averagiii tho reports sent us, it cannot'be said 1 have been either decidedly more, or di oidedly Jess favorable than during th same period last year. In some countie tho plant is said to bc well formed an bolled, but as a general thing it is not s< We have some complaint of labor's b< ing interrupted by political cxeitcmcn but the bulk cf laborers are doing wei Picking began last year about 5th Sci tember, and is expected to commcne about same time or atrV.e later this yet; in early cotton, and about 22d Septemb? in late. TENNESSEE.-Thc weather nineo th 15th Jimo, has boon very favorable to til arrowing crop, generally more so thu last year. A few only of our latest lol tera speak ol' heavy rains. Tho plant i reported as very . thrifty being bette "forme'd" anti '"bolled'' than lisna! Neither army nor boll worm' is reported Labor is satisfactory. Picking is said t have been general last year by lot September, and this year will probabl bo so hi early cotton by 7th Septembci and in lalo by 25th September. ALABAMA.-The weather from lStl June, until early in July was favorable but has been since, very unfavorable Heavy ruins have fallen, causing overlie of bottom lands on which very man* entire crops have been destroyed. It i estimated by some of our correspondent that thc damage done to thecrop, through out the State by rains, storms and over flow, during thc month of July, wil amount to a'reduction of fully lorty pc cent from what, at thc end of.lune, i promised.to yield. Cutil thc beginning of July the weather was more favorabli than last year. The plant is said to bi well formed and bolled. Laborers an working well. Wc have reports ol' aron worms having appeared in fourleei named counties. One correspondent re ports them in ten counties which ho doo; not name and which may perhaps be in eluded in the fourtccnalrcaely mentioned Boll worms aro reported in only a few counties.

NORTH CAROLINA AND SOUTH VIII OINIA.-Thc weather has ucjsii generali*? wet since 15th June, and not more favor able than last year. Thc bulk of Hu crop is not well '.formed" and "bolled." Laborers are not working as well in North Carolina as in other States, a con siderable portion of their lime being de v ?tod to attendance upon public meet ings.

The late Democratic Convention ol Georgia nominated thc present Governor, .lames M. Smith, for re-election. Gov. Smith Writes a letter of?icccp tance, which is clear) concise and explicit. With such a sterling stanoard-bearer the Democra cy of Georgia go forth in solid phalanx to victory.

Nev er lias the country witnessed1 such a fu rore for any man for President as that now exhibited for Greeley,- thc old phil osopher, who wants a true anti lasting peace between sections estranged by a bloody civil strafe. Northern and South ern men-the boys in blue anti thc boys in gray-aro with each other in support of the good old man, whose kind heart, now that thc war between brothers is over, would bury its unpleasant memo ries, and forever reconcile thoso who were so sadly estranged." NOT NAMED APTER THE POET.-Tho Lexington Observer and Reporter has this comment upon a paragraph which has gone the rounds: "Old John Har per, of tills State, the owner of the cele brated horse Longfellow, that won tho great race at Long Branch tho other day, was asked why ho named his horse after a Yankee poet. The old fellow replied : " He was a long horse, and for that reason I called him longfellow. D-n the Yan: kee poet; I never heard of him before.'' I Petty Spite. Tho subjoined resolution lias been adopted by th!e worthy Hoard of Trus tees of tlie^University.

The Grant papers state that George Beek er, a lawyer and-Democrat of Bing hamton, ?New York, supports Grant. Eighty-nine Republicans in the same place have already declared for Greeley, and more coming. One against eighty nine-a good bargain for Horace. Governor Stephen G. Harding, of Milan, Ind., ono of the pioneers of Republican ism in the Hoosier State, has written a letter strongly indorsing the farmer of Chappaqua for the Presidency. Gover nor Harding was Governor of Utah Ter ritory, and Chief Judge of Colorado du ring the Administration of Lincoln. Ex-Governor Merrill, of Iowa, and Lieutenant-Governor Spooner, of Wis consin, both old Republicans, have de clared for Greeley and Brown. Thirty-one Republicans of Albion, Or leans County N; Y., and the most influ ential in the party there, have sighed a call for a meeting to organize a Greoley and Brown club. In tho town of Woodland, Dodge County, Wis., .there aro but five or six supporters of Grant ina voting popula lion of about ?OO. Even the Postmaster has come out for Greeley. Ono hundred and fifteen Republicans of Auburn, thc home of Secretaiy Sow ard, have signed a call for a Greeley meeting. Ex-Senator Warner and S. F.

A Plea for thc Ku-Klux. WASHINGTON, August 4. Gerrin Smith has visited the Ku-Klux prisoners at Albany, and urges clemen cy in the case of Samuel G. Brown, aged sixty, who pleaded guilty under bad ad vice, and Hezekiah .Porter, aged. nillO : cen, who is dying, and David Collin's. Mr. Smith says ju his letter to Grant that Shotwell, ono of the North Carolina men, is deliunt and scorns pardon, and is stud ying- law. Mr. Smith, however, sug gests these pardons should bo postponed until alter thc election, as it might bc thought that clemency was prompted by interested motives. The'letter is quite sh >rt, and su curiously written that rho entire force of experts in "rho attorney general's pince were required to put it in such shape that Grant might be able to master its purport. - - . -. ? --?-- - - Ku KirxisM.-:The Slimier Nap* says that, a few nights ago. a band ol' disguised negroes, iii tlie upper part of the County , seized a colored nmn, whom they charged with being a Voudoo or witch doctor, cut one of his eal's oft*) and theil beal or whip ped him most unmercifully.

ED?TOI:: Having "laid by" my crop, and being in consequence " a gen tleman of leisure," I'concluded a few days since to' take a -trip to thc Saluda side of the County ;. and ? would' ask permission briefly to.toll you. what I saw and: heard there, j As to ?ie crops, the usual. subject of a countryman's .1 letter, ? will be silent, as tho people aro already through your columns posted concerning-,fheir status. The first object that caused mo to panse was the sight of the ruins of Dr. Allen S: Dozier's house, which, with ali the surrounding out-houses and their con tents, was 'destroyed by fire on Tuesday night, thoo?th ultimo ; supposed to have been the devilish work of an incendiary. Thc Dr. and his family have,'by this mis fortune, been made houseless, scarcely saving a suit of wearing apparel, and Having all their previsions' consumed. He deservedly receives the sympathy of his neighbors. I then journeyed on towards Bleasc's Store ; and here were hapnenin? events that stirred up my inditmation from tho lowest depths. It was the arrest of cer tain of our peaceable and law abidjne: citizens by one J. A. Battio, Special United States Deputy Marshal for Soufh .Carolina. It seems that he came into the' neighborhood with a bundle of warrants, and communicated to Mr. Blease the names of thc citizens about to be arrest ed, and gave him permission to inform the gentlemen, and request them to deliver themselves up, thus saving the humilia tion of an arrest. Acting upon stich ad vice, the following citizens surrendered themselves :-Mark Smith, Fayette Ad ams, Oliver Haltiwanger, John Lends, Edmond Martin. Wade Taylor,. John Bladon, Frank V. Cooper, Joseph Cul brcath, Wm. Griffin, Elijah Attaway and George Horn. There were also warrants for Elihu Stephens and Mathew Corley, respectively seventy-five and eighty-five years of age, but they were not molested, on account ef their extreme old age. Some colored witnesses havo likewise qeen arrested. Marshal Battie behaved very well in the matter, treating the prisoners with creat consideration. He allowed them to go to Columbia by private conveyance, and under a leader of til cir own selec tion. When they had all assembled at Blease's Store," Mr. Joseph Galbreath was ohoscn to take charge of them, and they set out to report at Columbia. Bat tle's cdnduct is in marked contrast to that of Anderson, the heartless official who lately, at Newberry,* separated a husband from his wife, who wils on her dying bed. He seems to remember that an officer can do his duty and be a gen tleman at the same time. 1 Tlie notorious J. C. Harris, more fit miliarly known as ?4 Heck" Harris, was likewise about this time taken into cus tody; but not in so peaceable a manner as thc others, nor on the samo charge. When the party attempted to arrest him, wi th a pistol in one hand and a sabre in tho other, ho grew very belligcront, and snapped his pistol at the breast of Mr. Blease, who had been specially deputized to accompany the United States soldier; but a judicious blow or two quickly calmed his warlike spirit, and ho was carried under guard to the capital. As to thc outrage of disturbing the other citizens in their peaceful avocations, I will say nothing, for the press, North and South, is teeming with denunciation of tho course of tim United States au thorities, and we can only hope that No vember may put an end toit, by thc ejec tion of " HOIK S' (.>' i llo.'.icc" to preside over tho destinies of thu "beat govern ment thc world ever sil?'."

Glorious and delightful as theSummer weather is, its U'opicid heat is asevere trial to tho vital powers, ?von the strong est arc sometimes prostrated by its effects. The common phrase applied to this con dition of thc body is " general debility." Now, general debility ?irises from, and includes a variety 'of ailments. The liver is more or less affected, tho bowels are cither constipated or too much re laxed, tho stomach but half performs tho work of digestion, thc appetite is poor, and tho spirits depressed. This is what is called'gen eral debility. It i-? a general disarrangement of aM the physical func tions, and requires os a remedy a. medi cinojthal will regulate them all. Hos tetter's Stomach hitter:-; is specially adapted to this purpose. Its general op eration is not-confined to a single organ, if the liver is affected, it restores its tone. If the stomach is torpid, it regenerates it. If thc nerves arc tremulous and weale, it braces and reinforces them. If the mind, which ever sympathizes with tho body, is gloomy and despondent, it relieves the difficulty, and soon brings thc whole mechanism of thc body into harmony with thc laws ?Of health. There is no civilized nation in the Western H?misph?re in which tho utili ty of Hosteler's Stomach Hitters as a ionic, corrective, and anti-bilious medi cine, is not known and appreciated: Throughout thc Tropics it is considered, both by thc people and thc profession, tho standard specific. While it is a medi cine'for all seasons and all climates, it is especially suited to thc complaints gen erated by the weather, being the purest., and bestVegetablestiniiihintin the world. Beware of tho Bitters made of acrid and dangerous materials,- which unscru pulous parties ?re endeavoring to foist up?n tho people. Their miine is legion', and thc public has no guarantee that dict are not poisonous. Adh?re to the tried remedy, ilostetter's Bitters, sold only in glass, ?ud never in kegs or barrels.

Dr. TUTT'S LIVER PILLS are PURE LY VEGETABLE, and are adapted to yoong and old, male and female, and may be taken at all times, without re straint of occupation, without chango of living, without diet, and without thc fear of taking cold, during all kinds of weath er, and in all climates. Dear Sir-You make two preparations which, it appears to mc, are worthy ol' a more general acceptance than they have had as yet, probably because they lun e not been "puffed" Tn the newspapers. I allude to your Liver Pills and Aromatic Elixir of Citrate of Caffeine; The former have been used in my own case-^torpor of tho Liver-and. in my family with a marked success, and I believe thom su perior in all biliary derangements to any pills now made. The Cafl'eino is tho only remedy that has, in my experience, proved effectual for nervous headaches, it never fails, and tho relief it affords is delicious; for not only does the pain cease, but a pleasant exhilaration super venes, and suffering is converted tb pleasure. A vial of lt is kept at home . and one at my office, that I may never be without it in caso of need. Very truly yours, JOSEPH P. CARR, At'n'y nt Law. Dr. Tull's Hair Dye requires but a few minutes. TRUTH AKD POETRY.-Milton puts into the mouth of Luci fer, in " Paradise Lost,' ' these memorable words "TO RE WEAK TS MISERARLE." Never was a trncr sentence written than this-supposed to bo wrung from the Arch fiend in his impotence and ago ny. Every victim bf nervous -debility, or of that depressing languor which is one of tho accompaniments of dispepsia and biliousness, can testify to the misery of mind and body which' thoy involve. The motive power ol' thc system is par tially paralyzed ; tho mind is haunted by anxiety and fear ; and tho sufferer is as incapable of applying himself ener getically to any kind of business as if ho were under tho benumbing influence of catalepsy. This terrible mental and phy sical condition need not, however, bo en dured for forty-eight hours by any human being.
