with no new converts to the cause of temperance. j The completion of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad to Gastonia has been attended with the happy effect of reducing freights to a very great extent. The freight on a bale of cotton from Chester to New York, which was at one time $4.75 via the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, has been reduced to $2.75 via the Chester and Lenoir Railroad. This is a saving of $2.00 on every bale, and as the average crop for this county is about 15,000 bales, the saving in freights on cotton alone will be $30,000. The farming community are those who will be benefitted by the reduction, for it will be accompanied by an enhancement of the price of cotton. Freight ^ . on bacon has likewise suffered a considerable tumble since the completion of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad. It has experienced a fall from 75 cents to 35 cents on the one hundred pounds, from Baltimore to this place. This reduction in freight will also redound to the benefit of the farmers, for they will be able to buy their bacon at lower figures. Hereafter, when they pay their railroad tax, let them think of the value received, and not complain. Judge T. J. Mackey and Mr. G. W. Curtis, in common with other Mexican war veterans, have recently received medals made of cannon captured at the taking of the City of Mexico. The medal is in the form of a shield, and is inscribed on one side with the names of the hard-contested battles of that war. On the other side is engraved the name of the holder of the medal. A horse race, which excited great interest, came off in the vicinity of town on Thursday afternoon. The betting fraternity were well represented, and a good deal of money changed hands on the result of the race. The horses were owned, one by Mr. Naoce, of this place, and the other by Mr. Wilson, of York. The animal belonging to the latter gentleman demonstrated his superior fleetness of foot, and was declared, by the umpires, the winner of rthe race. Mr. F. B. Lloyd, county school commissioner, has published a notice to the effect that the free schools of this county will be opened on the 1st Monday of July. As the school fund is exhausted, teachers need not expect any remuneration for their services, unless in the way of school certificates, until the next general levy and collection of taxes. Under this state of affairs some doubt may bp entertained of the abilitv of the commis sioner to obtain teachers. The applicants for the undesirable positions will probably be few, if they are cognizant of the exhausted condition of the State treasury. As the commissioner is energetic, and animated with the desire to keep open the doors of the free schools, he may succeed, in some way, in securing the requisite number of teachers. The 28th day of the present month, which will be the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of Fort Moultrie, will be appropriately w* - . observed at this place by a parade of the Rifle and Sabre Clubs. After forming at their respective headquarters, they will meet and march in a body to some suburban spot, where the agreeable amusement of target firing will be enjoyed. The ladies are expected to shed upon theliappy occasion the light of their fair countenances, and to attend with baskets of good things in abundance. The committee of citizens from this place, appointed at the railroad meeting a few days ago, have met and considered the various schemes lookirg to the procurement of iron and rolling stock for the Chester and Cheraw Railroad. The scheme that has been devised by the committee I am not at liberty to make known, for it must be laid before the committee of citizens from Lancaster, and obtain their approval, before any importance can be attached to it. A number of the committee leave for Lancaster to-dav for the purnose of conferring with their committee friends from that plane. Some plan will, in all probability, be decided upon, that will be acceptable to the Chester and Cheraw Railroad Company, and satisfactory to some iron company. A conclusion of so desirable a nature will ^ """" undoubtedly lead to the consummation of railroad communication between Chester aud Lancaster. The ladies of Chester have determined upon giving a supper at the Cotton Hotel, on Thursday evening of this week, with the view of raising funds for uniforming the Chester Rifle Club. There is every promise of a splendid feast, and a splendid time on the eagerly and happily looked for occasion. Chester will be represented in considerable force, and will do her part towards investing the gallant riflemen with military attire. Dr. A. H. Davega desires me to state that the good people of Yorkville, who may desire to attend the grand supper, will be favored with the privilege of coming and returning for one fare. Those who embrace the offered opportunity will be amply repaid in the way of enjoyment. To them will be extended the privilege of feasting their eyes upon the sweetest girls, and their palates upon the sweetest ^ things, and this, too, at a moderate price. It is true those whose liberality is of a lavish nature will experience no difficulty in disposing of a large amount of money. But economically inclined individuals can make the trip, see the sights of our growing town, and enjoy the entertainment for an amount of money entirely out of proportion to the amount of happiness that will have fallen to their lot. ci_ t_?*| __j V__l. oo come, oremreu aim sisiers ui iur&, uuu let us dwell together iu harmony and joy on the evening of the 15th. Mr. John Coleman, of this place, returned ^ yesterday from a trip to Europe. He visited the principal cities, and saw the sights therein. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Moore departed this life on yesterday. The funeral services were held this morning at the residence of Dr. A. P. Wylie. Qui. Sir John Franklin.?"History possesses few examples of more heroic bearing and selfsacrificing efforts for the advancement of the material interests of mankind than that exhibited by this noble martyr in his exertions to make a discovery which if accomplished would open to the world advantages beyond computation. But how insignificant are geographical discoveries, when compared with those that benefit the human organization, showing how in this life enemies may be vanquished, how the brain may be invigorated and rendered capableof grasping the most ab struse questions, whether scientific, commerAinl AW TV>A/JioniAO 1 TKia nan nnvpr ho tho V/iai V/l lUCUUaillVWJI* JIUIO VMM UVV VA WV WilV case while the body is enfeebled by disease.

Botany is a division of natural science which treats of plants, and a study of vegetable phisiol; ogy must be the foundation of botanical Knowledge?a study only possible by the improvements in the microscope and in organic chemistry. As Elantsare not scattered haphazard over the earth, otanical geography must be studied, and, with this, plant history.

And should man, with his knowledge and appliances, fail to discover less than the brute? It is of medical botany we would speak, or of the HEPATINE PLANT, discovered in Southern Nubia, the flower of which changes its color with every change of the atmosphere. The remarkable changes and variations of this plant and flower have been for years our special study, resulting in the discovery of its possession of wonderful medical properties, the existence and value of which have heretofore been unknown to medical science. After much labor and scientific investigation, we have succeeded in extracting its peculiar medicinal principles, which is asfecific and cure for all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels; a permanent cure for Dyspep ia, Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation, Jaundice, i nd all Bil-1 ious Complaints. Of course we can <ot send a living flower of this plant to all who ra d of Hepi atine; butall who send their address to Merreel A Couden, Philadelphia, Pa., with a three "ent stamp for return postage, we will send free a li.'*simile of the flower, that will change its color just the same as the real Hepatine Flower.
