University of South Carolina Libraries
am e Olege Veiad the pletsure last week of a visit.from \.r. Julius D. Dre:er, of the above prosperous institution, situated .kSalem, Va., in the charming Roanoke Valley. - We were pleasl to learn from Mr. $ieer thii Roanoke College enjoys .all the facilities.and advantages of a local aigAersl kind, togetber with a mini mum of expenses which commena it to universWi notice. The College is presided over by a Foll faculty and the student in -hshours of recreation reaps the benefits arising from a large and valuable library, adani extensive cabinet of minerals, pilosophial and chemical apparatus, 'Ac., sid the opportunities afforded in the eqjant halls and library rooms of the hFetry soc.ieties, where literary culture ind parliamentar.y usages are discussed and illustrated. And then when the tensionof the mind seeds relaxation from study, the student is invited forth by a bracing atmosphere, enlivening mineral waters, charming muntain scenery, the pastoral beauty of Afh auiet vales, and the genial, hearty welcome of an intelligent, moral and re fln'ed comradhity. A obe 3antaction, - The Trustees of the LoniaviUe Medi el College, (Lowiaville, Ky.,) have cre ated one of the most liberal and noble beiefsetiona ever conferred by a public Institutien upon :ny people. The Trus tees of this College have instituted one Beneciary Scholarship for each Congres aonal District in the Southern and sur rounding States. By this means very many poor but deserving young men will be enabled to obtain a thorough medical education. Any one wishir.g to take ad vantage of this Benefaction which is worth to each student at least $200. has only to write to Dr. E. S. Gaillard, Dean of the Faculty of the Louisville Medical College. Louisville, Ky., when he will receive a college catalogue with full in formation in regard to all that is neces sary fir him to do to secure one of these Sebolarships. With proper and welcome deflcacy the names of those who have secured the Beneficiary Scholarships will be known only to the Dean of the Facul ty. It is unnecessary to commend those who have established these noble Bene felry Scholarships. Their act will bring them commendation wherever it is kaown. In aceerdance with the old Hippocratic oath, forbidding physleians to charge the familios of each other for services rendered, the Faeulty of this College a ill tuake no charge for teaching sonsof phy tdcians, and, as no physician charges a -elergymaSn'si family, the sons of clergy men will receive the same privilege Thbe next College session- begins -October -ed, 1871. _As the lecture fees charged Yori each student who has not obtained a Reneficiary Scholarship, amount t;o$150; annually, the public can appreciate the *muniflcence of this benefaction. . : he New Cure for CSneer. Much is being said of the new cure only resently discovered for this terri'ole diisease, and anything relating to it will he read eith interest. The remned: in nuoestion is the wood of a tree .cafled "cunderango," exssting in the Southern moat province of Ecuador, and only a few - months ago was the departmnent at Washington made acquainted through a letter from the Hon. E. Ruzasey Wing, U. S. Minister to that place, with the history of its discover y in the accidental cure of an' Indian laborer, which hap pened in this wise: the Indian in ques lion *uifered so fearfully with this disease that his wife determined to give him a rehuf which would be everlasting-thet is she would put him out of his misery by adlminiatering poison. To that end ahe tried to get the fruit of the "cunderangp," known as ai fatal poison, but failing in this she tnade a decoction of the wood of the tree, and administered it when strange to say her busband showed .igns of itaprovement. She continued to give it to him until finally he was en -Irely restored to health. This remarka ble cure becoming known tests were made which established tbe power of thiti woed as a great remedy. D. W. Bliss, tI. D., of Washington, writes in answer to enquiries from the editor of "Houie and Health," that some of the wood had been sent to the de pertmnent at Washington. The follow in- Is the conclusion of his letter : A quantity was placed in my hands for expo.riment and trial by my friend, the Ban. A. Florep, the Minister from Ecuador to the Uuited States, and I first gavs it to the :mther of Vice President G.if.ix, Mrs. G. W. Matthews, who had cancer of the tireast, typical in appear anee, etc., and far advanced in its course. She has now been taking the remedy twenty days and has rapidly impr-oved. all the typical symiptomns of the blood poison having subsided. Other cases quite as so ere and well marked are now under treatment, and promptly progress ing to recovery. The limite-d.quantity of the medicine on hand has precluded the possibdlity of a more extensive series of experiments, but enough has been dereloped by its use to assure us that it is the moat pow erful alterative ever in the bends of the profession, and that it posseses a specific influence over the poison of cancer. Fromn the statements of the physicians of Quito and my own experience in its use, I am confident that tho "cunderan go" is quite as reliable a stpecific in can ter, scrofula, and other blood diseases, as einehona and its alkaloid have proved,to be in Zymetic diseases. Very truly yours, D. Wi. Buss, Mf. D. We cannot doubt the above statement, and the afflicted will hail this,.discovery as one of the greatest blessings of the preent age, if only the wood can be_had t-i sufEicient qu rtity. . W.b. Carllie Esq,once on-the staff of c'Charletonouier,-died in the AiyIUm, , - s.. o -n 2 inaL Mr Carlistas- was The Victoa League. We bavp received a circular of what purports to be an organized, equipped association of "progressive people" of both sexes, called the. "eqnal rights' party," whose headquarters is at New York, vith ramifications from San Fran cisco to Boston. This Victoria League has raised its btinting to the breeze$ with Mrs. Victoria U. Woodhull as its nominee for the august office of Pres ident, (or Presidentres-4,) of these united or disunited States o America. Ac companying this circular is a speech de livered by Mrs. Vic. on the issue of equal rights, and her secession speech at Ap'ollo Hall. Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull closes her speech as follows: If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one I course left them to pursue. Women have no government.- Men have organ ized a government, and they maintain it to the utter exclusion of women. Women are as much members of the na, dion as men are, and they have the same human right to govern themselves which man have. Men have none but an usur ped right to the arbitrary control of wo men, Shall free, intelligent, reAsom.g. thinking women longer submit to being robbed of their common rights? Men fashioned a government basnd on their own enunciation of princi:les: that tax ation without reprenVition is tyranny; and that all just government exists by the coasent of the governed. Proceed ing upon th,:ze axiows. they formed a onIst'tutinn declaring all persons to be oitis es, th:.t one of theiights of a citizen is aright to vote, and that no power within the nation shall either make or enforce laws ii terfering % ith the citzen's rights. And yet men deny womer the first and greatest of all the ri,hts of cit zenship, the right to vote. Under such glaring inconsistencies, such unwarrantable tyranny, such un scrupulous despotism, what is there left women to do but to become the mothers of the future government. WE WILL BAVE our rights. We say no longer by your leave. We have be sought, argued and convinced, but we have failed; As wE WILL NoT fai!. We will try you jtvT oscE xoE. If the very next Congress refuse women all the legitimate results of citizenship ; if they indeed merely so much as fail by a proper declaratory act to withdraw ev ery obstacle to the most ample exercise of the franchise, then we give here and now, deliberate notification of what we I will do next. There is one alternative :fr, :nd we have resolved on that. This corrertion is for the purpose of this declaration. As surely as one year passes, f-oni this day, and this right is not fully, frankly and unequivocally considered, a e shall proceed to call another convention ex pressly to frame a new cun-titution and to erect a new government, complete in all its-parts, and to take measures to maintain it as tffectually as men do theirs . If for people to. govern themselves is so unimportant a matter as men now.as sert it to be, they could uot justify them selves je interfering. If, on the contra ry, it is the important thing we conceive it to be, they can but applaud us for ex er-cising cor right. We mean treason ; we mean secession, and on a thousand tmes grander scale than was that of the Smuth. We arc plotting revolution ; we w ill over?lough this bogus republic bnd plant a govern meot of righteousness in its stead, which shall ilot onlyyrefesato derive its power from 4he consent of the governed, but shall do so in reality. We rebel against, denounce and defy this arbitrary, usurping and tyrannical government which has been framed and imposed on us without our consent, andi egen with.out so much -as entertaining the idea that it was or could be of .thi slightest consequence what we should :hink of it, or bo s our interests should be affected by it, or even that we existed at all, except in the simple ca; e in w hich we might be found guilty of some offense against its behests, w hen it has not failed to visit on us its sanctions with as muzch rigor as if we owed rightful allegiance to it; which we do not, and which, in the future, we will not even pretend to do. This new government, if we are comn pelled to form it, shall be in pr inciples largely like that government which the better inspirations of our fathers com pelled them to indite in terms in the Con:stitution, but from which they and their sons bare so scadalously departed in their legal constructions and actual practice. It shall be applicable, not, to women alone, but to all persons who shall transfer their allegiance to it, and ahall be in every practicable way a high er and more scientific development of the governmental idea. We have learned the imperfections of men'sovernment, by lessonts of bitter injustice, and hope to build so well that men wilt desert from the loss to the more perfect. And whn by our receiving justice, or by our own actions, the old and false bhall be replaced by the new and true; when for ityranny and exclu siveness shall be inanguratc4 equality arid fraternity, and the way prepaad for the rapid development of social reconst.ac tion throughout. IBecause I have taken this bol' and positive position ; because I have advo cated radical political action; because I have announced a new party and my self as a candidate for the next Presi dener, I am charged with being infiu enced by an unwarrantable ambition. Though this is searcely the place for the introduction of a privileged question, I will, however, take this occasion to, once and for all time, state I have no personal ambition - whatever. All that I have done, I. did because I believed the inter ests of humanity would be advanced thereby. Had I been ambitious to become the next president I should bare proceeded very differently to accomplish it. I did announce myself as a candidate, and this simple fact has done a greet work in compelling people to ask : and why not ? This service I have rendered wo men at the expense of any ambition I might have had, which is apparent if the matter be but candidly considered. In conclusion, permit me again to re cr to the importance of following up the advantages we have already gained, by rapid and decisive blows for com piete victory. Let us do this through thecouts herverpossible, and by di rect appeals to Gongress during the next session. And I again declare it as my candid belief that if women will do one half their duty until Congress meets, that they will be compelled to pass such laws as are necessary to enforce the pro visions of the XIV. and XV. A rticles of Amendments to the Constitution, one of which is equal-political right for all cit. izens. : - . But sh'ould they fail, then for the al ternative.. We spublish the above extracts simply tbat.o.ur lady readers might see some of tbi'skades;of opinion which pre vail --ot~ th stmn--minded of thcir GLENN'S SPRING, SPARTANBURG, Aug., '71. s Dzai HERAZD:-Mons. Touson comes again, but regrets to make the confession, that all Is not well. That miserable, intract able member, the liver, has been cutting up some sad prankst, or more properly and cor- c rectly, has not cut a single prank, but rather, like an old mule in his worse case of stub. borrsss, has refused to do any duty for two weeks. %Viat a time old Monsieur has had, to be sure. Just think of the indulgences denied in that length of time. FU these many days bath no fried chicken en tered the portal which heretofore .alwayg opened cheerfully to receive the delicious tit bits. It is drealrul to contemplate, dtid in :d region too,where there is so much of it. -But this state of things Vill not continueilways; a change mu-;t come; and no utnttr how contrary the old member alluded to above may be disposed to show itself, thts water here will prove cafecious in breaking up the ppell now upon it. The wUrst cases of I LIVBR COMPRLAT; bIsPEPSIA, . kidty affections, ard a host of other stom achic derangemnts, yield to a free and iu ditiotds tiso of the Glenn's Spring water. And t&3 is no idle assertion, either. We know of cases coming under our own imme diate observation, men and wonen, who had no hope whatever, and who have gone from I here rejoicing In good health and restored organs. Hundreds of cases besides, of which we only hear, of remarkable cures, can be established by certificates, and it is eminently I proper that publicity be given to them, for the benefit of snifering humanity. It is won derful how many people are afflieted with derangements of Liver and stomach gene rally, and to all such, who happen to see this ktter, we extend the cartest exhorta tion, COME TO GLEN'S SPriNG and dritk of the water, and niake apothecary I shops of your stomachs no longer. Many.of our readers, old and regular vi&itors to this < place, in the olden and palmier days, before I distresses came upon them and took away their substance, besides many who yet make pilgramages here, remember that cottly and pleasant gentleman, Dr. Moore, who, for a generation has been the life of Glenn's Spring society, and they will be pained to hear that an attack of Typhoid Fever, during the past summer, nearly proved too much for him, and from the effects of which h- is only now slowly recovering, and soon, it is hoped, he will be able to make the "grand rounds" again as was his wont, and with his mature exprerience and advice, interspersed with so much of anecdotical reminiscence, add to the interest and pleasure of the dwell es in cabin, as well as those occupying places In the big house. The Hotel is not crowded yet, but accessions of those WHo WOULD BE CURED are daily made, and soon it is expected there will be quite a company of people here. The 1 first regular DANCE OF THE SEASON came off on Friday night last, and to those who indulged In the light fantastic exercise, in which heel and toe are made to contrbutc so muc-, seemed to be highly delighted. Looking on at a safe distance we could see that there were some very graceeful ~dancers and handsome withal, and .we also notided that they were aware of their accomplished motions and fascinating appearance, and made as much of each as was proper and rght,-to:thu delight of the beaux and lookers on. Bur. TEE McsI C, there was the rub. It was excrusciating. We had heard vrais 'okd masters~, timong, them Ole Bull and Prof. Schmidt, and many of-the founger iniasters of cat gut, but never had we heard such sounds, before, as were scraped from the strings by the coloreo gen tlema..ho. made the music on that- oee,a sion, and who fancied himself "master" of the situation. It is utterly impo3sible to de scribe his playing; the professor had to be seen and. his music heard, to get an idea of style or effect, and yet these lively young people went through the motions just the same as if Dodsworth or Muller had the dI rection, and a full orchestra obeyed their nod; and they were right, they went there to dance, and they did so. The only ACCIDENrT THAT OCCURRED was that of a young man running his nose into the valencia lace on ayounglady's neck; as it was not a premeditated thing, but clearly< accidental, and the fa':lt of the leader of the band who, in tryIng to make an extra flour ish, lost his time and tune, the lady sweetly smiled forgiveness, and the gentleman had the satisfaction of rnbbing his nose free from the dreadful thought of pistols and coffee for two in the early dawn of the morrow. Upon what slight chances hang human des tinies! Suppose that nose had entered the sacred folds of lace designedly, and the lovely wearer, incensed and outraged, had appealed to a hot-headed cousin. We leave the reader to fill up the picture. At a rea sonable hour we left our corner in the ball room with the thought that "to go it while young" was just the thing, provided you go . not too far, and that "when you are old and cannot" it is just as right to leave, and sought our couch. That this was in close proximity to the sound of de colored gemman who scraped on the strings, neither one of which was in tune, and that a dqpbf' of "music having charms to soothe", &c., under all circumstanca, we will not dwell upon now. - We fell asleep una,2 its influnence, however, and dreamed we were n .the lumber business, and had just started a STEAM SAW MILL, and never did saw saw better, or saw sucht lumber, while the profits were enor'nous, and ats the water necessary for the work was supplied from the mineral spring, Mr. Fowler, the proprietor, was made a partner In a busi ness better than two gold mines. What a pity for both of us that this dream was only a dream-nothing more. Such is life. As. stated in our former communication, New% -. berry is well represented here, and among the number is Mr. Thos. V. W., of P., and the readers of the Herald, most of them, are aware that he is a good church man, and I strict and uptight in his daily walk, and can sit under the sound of a preacher's voice, and listen to a long prayer, as patiently as any man in his section of the country, and never until last Sunday, has he cried 1 ENOUGH. ENOUGH, ..I I can hold out -no morc. It happened in this' wise: on Saturday night, his nanle broke loose and! strayed from the fold, and ons-Siu day he had to hun~t him. Well, he' travelled up one road and down another, and inquired of a number of peopfe named Smith, (every third man in this county is named Smith) if the mule had been seen, but without sue cess, when he came to a church in the woods, a where meeting was progressIng, and here t thought he, I'll bide awhile, and after meet-r ing, advertise my loss. Think of the advan, tages of advertising. Well, he waited, 'and the preacher'- "preached, and continued to preach," and so long, that our friend was sadly grieved and troubled in spirit. The mule was uppermost In his thoughts, and all tae eloquence of the preacher failed to fixt his atentiou. He prayed for the termen to bings must end some tme, anduo did ti ermon, and the usual exercise of sIgin nd prayer, and his heart revived withit tim; but wRRR WAS X0kE TROULE. he prayer was interminable, and like tha if the old deacon, who -ayed for the church; and the pastor; And that "sols might be his hire" wbateirer his stipend otherwise-= And the Sunday-school; and the chbit; Lad the $*Irtllhg bordes of India; And the peAis.tit Arile Chinese; knd the millions whb bow to the ope ol Rome; And the pogan churches of Greece; knd the outcast remnants of Judah, Of whose guilt he Oad quch to.tell Ie pfayetl. er he told the Lord he prayed, For everything out Of lleil, ad much more. Of course our friend ani ame-sake Tomn, was sorely troubled, and -ai e told us afterward, had any one called od t then, "HERE'S YOUR MUL.E," e wou'd have shouted glory. After tb rayer, he seized his hat, ready to get ou mtnediately if not sooner; . but- hold! - thi reacher knew Tom was there, he mn.s bav :nown It, and that the'devil had him iast te must be couq-iered, and therefore the con regation would please rmain and discus he propriety of holding a prayer-meeteg lease imagine the felings of the owner o hat lost inule. - We will not inflict the read r with a further recital, however, but - sa, hat the congregation was at length dismiss d, and among the first who - got out Wa rhomas; and proclamation being made, to is intense delight he beard that Majo smith had taken him up earTy in the morn ng. The longest night has a dawning. Ou 'rlend says he'll remember that preacher fo rears to come. Oh that this short stor, nay be a lessn 'o the longrwit4ed preache ind prayer-maker. We never saw any on ;uffering from the same cause as Mr. W. >ut we have seen and known many mothei bo were in agony to get home to thei bildren, and who offered fervent pray.er br the preueher to sav amen.

FAIR'S CAs.-A San Francisco corespondent of the New York Herald has had a somewhat remarkable inter view recent)y with Mrs. Fair, the miur deress of Grittenden, in ber cell in the San Francisco jail. This srange womran, it seems, contested the right of Critten den to live with his wife because they did not love one another, and holds to it Ithat she (the murderess) and Crittenden were the lawful pair, because they did love one another. Accordingly, ina a mo m ent of temporary insanity ; she shot Crittenden, and now regretted only one Ithing-that he was not present to aefend her. She feels confident of a final re prieve, because, as she says, her case is a political one, and when she is tried agait, there will be a new judge on the jbench. Father Hyacinthe gives his unreserved asseint to-Dr. Dotlinger's declaration, and Is conh dent that his act of faith and conscience will be the starting point and centre of a new reformation which alone can save the Catho lie Church. The fact that Dr. Dollinger has been elected President of the University of Munich by a large msjority shows the fail ing of his colleagues, and represents the sen tient of a section of Germany.

Now I purpose to give some brief state ments in reference to a late visit made to Unionville, for the purpose of attending the District Meeting of the M. E. Church; and If I could be able to relate it in as interesting a manner as it was interesting and instructive to me, I shall not fail to interest the readers of the "Herald," especially so many as are members of that sect. The Rev. Mr. Tucker and myself left his river plantation on Thursday, August 3d, under favorable aucpices. The heavens at a distance were echoing with the heavy notes of thupder, and the sun, which for so many days previous, had been scorching the earth, was veiled over with a cloud, which render ed the evening quite.pleasant for driving. The crops all along the way are almost completely "burnt up." There are thous ands of acres that will not yield a bushel of corn per acre. We saw fresh fields which *ould have yielded twenty or thirty bushels per acre, if the rains had continued, that now will actually yield neither corn nor fod der. We stopped with a friend two miles this side of the village Thursday night, and en joyed a sweet communion with Somuns. Early Friday morning we arrived in town, and immediately repaired to the Baptist Church, where we found already assembled some of the dgnitaries of Methodism. Bishop Pierce soon arrived, and, after the singing of an anthcm of widely known rich ness, and the reading of a chapter from the Scriptures, the Bi,hop led in a fervent and appropriate prayer, imploring the divine blessing upon.the District now assembled. After some preliminary remarks by the Bishop and others, he proo,eded to organize the meeting. Mr Smith, (if the Fair Forest Church, was elected prir-cipal clerk. The regular committees usually appointed on such occasions were dispensed with, except a committee on temperance. The Bishop then proceeded to give at length the object of the District Meeting. He said it was a new thing in the Methodist Church. Such meetings had been held in the bounds of several Conferences for the last four years, but not until the last meeting of the General Conference were they officially recognized by the Church. They are merely an experi mental method of trying to promote the cause of Christ and of the Church. As yet their tendency appeared indicative of being the means of doing much good. He stated that one design was to enquire into the s:ate of religion, whether prayer meetings were held regularly or not; or if class. meetings were kept up, if not, why? Also to mak". enquiry in reference to the Sunday School work; and of Missionary operalions.' These are aoble purposes, and, if executed properly, will advance the cause of Method lEm, and the cause of Christ generally- to a great exrtent, At-eleven o'cloek, the Bishop preached a very earnest and instructive sermon from Mathew, 6th chap ter, ahd 6th verse. It is easily perceived that his aim is to do good, correct errors in the Chureb, and, pro mote the cause of.Christ's kingdtom on eati, and not to preach finealiterary and eloquent sermons just to please the cnriosity of a sin fui people. Friday evening the Rev.. Mr. Jones,. of Spartanbur, preached a very grand .and sublime sermon on the power and truth of the Bible. It has never been our pleasure to have the truth and power of God shown by an argu ment of such convincing power; or the series of argument as found in the animnal creation more pleasing., The power of the ant consists in the effort to provide for itself. The fa.ct is enough to prove that it pos sesses some power at least. But the wasp possesses power to a greater degree. So on to man. We find bin surpassing in power every other created being. - But power and truth have their perfection. Arc they found in man? He cannot do all things; therefore he must look higher still. Are they found in angels? No! they are found alone in God. After discussing the truth of the Bible, through a general series of argu ments, the minister drew nearer his text, and manifested beautifully the power of chris tianity. The creative power of the Trinity consisted in making all things from nothing. Man as a part of this creation was a work of the Divine hand, and as such must even be an illustration of God's creative power. His Imagination displayed itself most win ningly when he alluded to the Coliseum of Romne, how easily and rapidly it had melted down under heaven's tears; but the Church of Christ stands out against every obstacle brought against it, and everything daily tends to confirm Its truth. Alabough his IImagination was fertile, its every fligh t was confined beneath the sky of Bible truth; serving to heighten the interet of his au dience and impart freshness to his sermon. His conclusion aras grand and enrapturing to the extent that there was a general dispo sition through the congregation to cheer him. Preaching was conducted by the Bishop Saturday and Sunday morning. Prof. Car lisle delivered a valuable address Saturday eeniug, on temperance And on Sunday evening he made a very appropriate and im pressive address to the young people; though interspersed with many valuable gems for all classes. Sunday School addresses were also. made by the Bishop, and Simpson Bobo, Eq. IWe were the guests of that excellent and highly cultured gentleman and eminent law yer, Maj. J. B. Steedman. Union may weil be proud of such a valuable man. She has good reason to hope that the mantle which has graced her Dawkinu and Munro, may yet fall upon another one of her sons-for he certainly is deserving of such honor-for his abilities and learning will never be as duly appreciated in any other way as from the bench.

On the morning of the 10th instant, at his residence in Newberry County, Dr. JoU WILLIAM McCaNTs departed this life in the fifty-second year of his age, surrounded by his mourning family and a large number of sorrowing friends He was born in Fairfield District, and after being thoroug!:Iy schooled by pious and Christiai parents in all the higher virtues that mark true manhood, and havins grad uated in the Medical Coflege, at Clarleston, he settled down in Newberry District, where, .- a quarterof a century, he devoted all of his time and energies to the practice of h:s profes,ion. Although he cast off the garments of this life and put on those of immortality just af ter the meridian of life; yet le did more, nnd left behind him a brighter example thau many who pass away full of years. No one in this community could hav passed away and have left a greater void, or been more universally regretted. He diffused and spread around him a be nign influence, whether in the home o? the rich or of the poor. His charities in his pro fession among the poor, both white and black, will be remembered as long as there is one living who knew him. As a husbaud he was devoted and true, as a father kind and generous, and as a friend warm and steadfast. Years ago be united himself to the Metho dist Episcopal Church, and being conscious of his approaching end he spoke calmly of the great future which was soon to break upon his vision. Conscious of having per formed his duty while here, faithfully and well, when the summons came, with his in tellect bright and clear, he quietly yielded up his warm and generous spirit and was drawn to his God. He was followed from his residence by a large cortege of. sorrowing and mourning relatives and friends to Bauskett's Church, where, after his funeral services were per formed by the Rev. Mr. Mood, he was laidi by the side of his wife, where bis manes now repose. Requiescat in pace. Omr WIo KsEW HIX WELL Newberry,-S. C., July 18, 1571. C->imbia Phosnix please copy. COMMERCIAL.
