B. 11EETI5G. North and South Carolins, Tennesse?, Geor? gia and Virginia Represented. Columbia Register. On the morning of the 3d at 10.80, we made our departure from Columbia in the elegant and comfortable coach, through the kind courtesy of Colonels Palmer and Dodamead, put at the dis? posal of the invited gnesta from Colum? bia. This party consisted of Governor Simpson, Mayor Stanley, Attorney Gen? eral Yonmww, ax-Gov. M. L. Bonham, Hon. Jos. Daniel Pope, CoL F. W. Mc i Maater, T. D. Kline, Superintendent of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Road, Judge Andrew Crawford, Major E. W. Seibels, Captain John S. Wiley, Alderman W. B. Lowrance, CoL John T. Sloan,. Jacob Muller, Esq., Justice J. Q. I Marshall, P. B. Hagood, Joseph Daniel Pope, jr., L. D. Childs, jr.j John P. Thomas, jr., John F. Sutphea, Charles M. Tew, W. McB. Sloan and our hum? ble self of the Regisier. Everybody seemed bright and in for the trip, and it was not long before we circulated into the car of the old "City by the Sea," where wo found that veteran of the Chamber of Commerce, President Sam'l Y. Topper, supported by Col. Wm.'L. Trenholm, Mr. John L. Sheppard and Receiver Fisher, the representatives of the city. We were glad to meet, too, Captain Post, of the United States En? gineers, who was also in attendance.? There were other gentlemen from Charles? ton who united with the Charleston -reo?? resen&tion and creditably swelled the list. Among them were Messrs. E.T. Gaillard, P. T.-Lcwton, E. J. 'Sage and. Major A. Vanderhost. We made good time to Alston and took the Spartanburg and Unios train with little or no delay, and, after a brisk and delightful run, taking'on many friends at Union, we arrived at Spartanburg at 8.30 p. m. Leaving Spartanbnrg at 4 p. m,., witii four coaches and an ordinary road* en? gine, we dashed away for the "Land of the Sky.'' We made a delightful trip to the foot of the mountain pass and started op the steep grade at a slow pace and ?crept along one curve after another, when our iron "horse "pished/" and after a "shaw 1" "shaw I" "shaw P we came to a stand-still. Two of the coaches were then chocked and the engine took up the two others quickly to the top of the grade atSaluda acd returned for us, when we were soon switched alongside and were on" at a clashing speed for Henderson ville, where we arrived some minuteti before 8 clock p. m. Let it be understood here at we had not the R. Y. MoAden, the engine used for heavy work, or there ; would have been no detention whatever. We heard but one expression in connec? tion with .this feat of engineering in climbing the Blue Ridge. It is pro? nounced on all sides a wonderful success. Whenever the transportation and travel needii it, a fresh engine, kept at the foot, of the- grade, will enable any train to climb the grade with perfect e'ace in fif? teen or twenty minutes. With this ex? ception, cr for 65 miles of the route from Spartanburg, there is no reason why 80 miles per hour for express trains cannot be made as safely as 15. The iron is heavy, the trestles are all short, and the work substantial, so that when through travel calls for it three hours is all the me that need be consumed to make the in from Spartanburg to Asheville. The South Carolina Road by making connection from Colombia to Orange? barg, as the-crow. flies, over the best of id beds, makes a saving of at least 15 lea, thus avoiding the long expensive trestle through the Santee swamp, and cutting the distance between this city and Charleston to 115 miles. Next, connect? ing by a most admirable route,' the Spar? tanburg and Union Road with Columbia, ', can be reduced to 85 miles., making le distance from Charleston to Spartan? burg exactly 200 miles. This route, then, would require from Charleston f aar hours | to Columbia, aud three thencei to Spar? tanburg, ana thence three to Asheville? "dug in all ten hours. Adding two jars for stoppages on route makes twelve iours in all that will possibly bei required the ran from Charleston to Asheville. xving Charleston, then, at 7 a. m. we rould arrive at Asheville at 7 p, m., with a distance of 269 miles from the sea. forty-two mils more carries us to Paint " Dck, and 42 miles mor 3 of completed ?.d, requiring five hours, including stop? pages, puts us at Morristown. 853 miles L 3m Charleston, at 12 o'clock at night. Lt this point we are 89 miles from Knox? ville by the East Tennessee Road and 40 miles from Cumberland Gap, where all the Western roads will make connection with the great North Carolinaroute to the sea. There is no reason, then, leav? ing Charleston at 7 e, m.^why Knoxville ' and Cumberland Gap should not be made by 2.30 the next morning, and Louisville and Cincinnati at 12.30 p. m. the next day. Through to Louisvillo or Cincin? nati in 29 hours and 30 minutes! This is what this great route means; this is what the great meeting in Hemderson ' ville meant; this is the high hope that pulsates now from Charleston to Knox? ville, Cincinnati and Louisville, and on? ward still to St. Louis, Evans vi .le and Chicago. The-great dream of Hayne is rushing to a reality, and only $125,000 is j wanting to foot, the bill, so for as we are concerned, and open the way from the Ohio:to the sea, which, all told, will . stand thus: Charleston to Columbia.115 miles Columbia to Spartanburg.? 85 " -200 Spartanburg to Asheville._ 69 miles Asheville to Morristown.84 " Morristown to Knoxville. 39 " -192 ^Charleston, to Knoxville.-392 Or to Cumberland Gap: Charleston to Spartanburg.200 Spartanburg toMcrristown._153 Morristown to Cumberland Gap.40 393 Cumberland Gap to Louisville andCin ) cinnati.195 Charleston to Loaisville and Cincianati.^88 What does this mean, when compared with the present route: ? Savannah to Macon.-190 miles. Max?n to Atlanta....-103 M Atlanta to Chattanooga.138 " Chattanooga to Nashville.151 " 5S2 miles. Thus, showing Nashville, by the pres? ent route, only six miles nearer than the Cumberland and French Broad route to the Ohio! Does this not literally move the Ohio to Cumberland with th a saving of this distance between Nashville and Loaisville? So mach, then, for the purpose: of this great meeting. \ Henderson ville is a very pretty town of some 600 to 800 inhabitants. It is, in fact, only a part of the famous Flat Rock settlement. The hotel accommodations were limited for such a crowd as rushed on the little town, but the people did all nnrlat thrt circnxEststnces to meet the emergency, and the accommo? dations at the private houses were all that could be wished. We found Mrs. Patton's?600 yards from the court house ?all that heart could wish, and presume others fared as well. Late in the night of the 3d parties were flying hither and thither for accommodation, some going to Flat Bock and lodging with Henry Farmer, the picture of good eating and good cheer. The morning of the 4th was ushered in with the pomp and display of an oc? casion never before witnessed in Hender soQville. People came thronging in from every direction and by every method, from a four-in-hand toehanksmare. The yeomanry of the mountain region, accom? panied by their bonnie lasses of Polk and Transylvania and Buncombe, flocked to the town.. Asheville, renowned for the beauty of her belles and the accomplish? ment of her sons, joined in the growing throng, and the streets of the little town wore indeed the appearance of a holiday. On reaching the ground, a beautiful shaday hill near the railroad station, we found already gathered a large assem? blage of people. As the special train from Spartanbnrg and the train from Charlotte approached, a salute was fired from a small piece on the ground, whilst the cheers of the assembled multitude rang aloft, bespeaking the kindly wel? come of the assembled thousands. As soon as the visitors left the cars, Mr. Ewart, the Mayor of Henderson vi lie, received them with a kindly, graceful, spirited welcome, and was replied to by Col. E. Y. McAdden in his own hearty, inimitable way. The procession then formed under the lead of T. W. Taylor, chief marshal of the day, and marched to the stirring notes of the town band, the flag of the Union flapping to the breeze as the real? ly imposing array wended its way to the speaker's stand, on a shady knob withio sight of the station. Here long tables, had been prepared for the barbecue, and the multitude were invited to fire away and fall back all along the line. This was done with a gusto, and roasted sheep and shoal went the way of such flesn faster than we have seen it in all our ex? perience. The barbecue dispatched, Col. McAden .welcomed the visitors present and ex? pressed his great gratification at the large assemblage of people who had responded to the invitation extended to them. Marshal Taylor then introduced Gen. T. L. Clingman. The General made a brief but telling address, which began with a glowing compliment to the ladies. He said that Jacob served seven weary years for, a wife, but that those who bad been-interested in the opening of this great route to tho West had been called upon to exercise seven times the patience of the patriarch. The great Robert Y. Hay ne forty -two years ago had bent all his energies to accomplish this great work. Eight millions of dollars had been expended to achieve the results at a former day. After the most strenuous efforts.ever made by man from 1836, Gen. Hayne, in June, 1842, made a report looking to its abandonment. He (Cling? man). had attended the session of the Legislature in 1842 and urged with all his might that the great scheme should not be abandoned, and it was with sad heart he had returned to bis mountain home after the conclusion reached by the Legislature at that time to make no fur? ther efforts for the prosecution of the work. He had continued to hope, how? ever, for better things, and hence to-day, after forty-two years, he had come again to join heart and hand in the work of carrying to a full consummation the dream of his young days. Gen. Cling? man then animadverted on the value of the road in a national point of view, and said the climate was unsurpassed by St. Moritr or Ticinio. He confidently be? lieved that the completion' of this route would make Charleston a great city, which she would have been years ago had her own Hayne lived to carry out the great dream of hin life. Gen. Cling? man here alluded to Gov. Jarvis, a gal? lant officer of his brigade, and gracefully retired with the announcement that that officer, now the honored Governor of North Carolina, would address the as? semblage. Governor Jarvis came - forward amidst much applanse. He said it was with pe? culiar pleasure and gratitude he witnessed the enthusiasm of the vast assemblage before him, connected as it was with the birthday of American liberty. We had assembled, however, not only from the promptings of proud patriotism, but also, with one heart and mind, to give a help? ing hand to the completion of a great connection with the wide and fruitful West, which now stood so near comple? tion as to leave no further doubt as to the practical character of the great un? dertaking. "I proclaim," said the Governor, "that so far as North Carolina is concerned, her coarse shall be onward. (Great ap? plause.) Long and patiently have we waited for this the day of commercial deliverance, and now that we are in a stone's throw of the prize, North Caro? lina and North Carolinians will not stay the helping hand to the great work. ( Applause.) This is an occasion in which North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennes? see, Georgia and Virginia are united, and it was with peculiar pleasure I discharge the duty as Governor of North Carolina to extend for her the most cordial wel? come to tho sister States assembled be? fore me. The reign of peace I trust is at hand when we shall win great and last? ing victories and choose that better part which shall not be taken from us." His Excellency then, with much warmth, ex? tended the welcome of the State to Gov. Simpson, of South Carolina. After the performance of the Hender sonville and Spartanbnrg Silver Cornet Bands, which was greatly enjoyed by the multitude, Governor Simpson stepped to the front and was received with a most responsive cheer from the assembly and the platform. He said: When Moses reached the banks of the Jordan he sent out spies into the land of promise, that they should behold the fatness thereof. We have not come, fellow-citizens of North Carolina, to Bpy out your land to possess it as did the Israelites of old, but to rejoice with you in beholding your beautiful and bountiful mountain region, where your healthful climate blushes on J'our cheeks and the abundance of your ands is displayed in the wide hospitality which has spread these far-stretching tables arouud us and covered them with the rich and juicy flesh of your flockt and the bread of your own hill-sides and valleys. I came here, fellow-citizens, rather as a spectator, to behold and en? joy all this fair scene before me, than participate in the proceedings of the day, but your committee of arrangements thought otherwise, and as I always have made it a rule in life to do, I answer as best I can the demand made upon me as a fellow-citizen of a common country and as the Governor of South Carolina, your nearest sister across the border. I have no fitting words with which to respond to the warm welcome of your justly hon? ored Chief Magistrate. This day is one, fellow-citizens, on which North Caroli? nians may justly and proudly recall tho Sast. The signers of the Mecklenburg eel a rat ion have the right to claim the honors of this day. It can never be for? gotten that the men of Mecklenburg led the way in the glorious path of duty which American freemen can never, will never, forego. [Applause and cheers.] So we across the border celebrate our 28th of June, when the British men-of-war retired before our reeling ramparts ablaze j with resistless ardor of Carolina freemen. So, again, we celebrate the 22d of Feb? ruary, the birthday of our first and still our greatest President, tho Father of his Country. These days should never be forgotten. It is wise, it is good for us all that we should come together with one mind and heart on such occasions and learn to dwell together as brethren of one fold. Peace has its triumphs as well as war, and this work, which is opening a great link with the affluent West, is just one of the triumphs sufficient to awaken the pride and gladden the heart of any peo Ele. A half century ago Hayne and IcDuffie, with others, inaugurated this grand scheme. What these men of gen? erous and burning patriotism failed to achieve in their day and generation our Duncan and your Coleman and McAden, and Georgia's Anstell, and Union and Spartanburg, Henderson and Buncombe have gloriously accomplished in our day! [Great and repeated applause.] For, surely, surely, fellow-citizens, what is so nearly done now, with every difficulty and doubt put behind us, will not now be deserted in che moment of final triumph. Your Governor has said that North Car? olina will not desert the good work, and South Carolina will not be found want? ing. [Great applause.] The Governor then dwelt at some length on the great natural sources of progress, agriculture, commerce and the mechanical arts, and insisted that there could be no true pro? gress when these three factors of national strength moved not harmoniously to? gether. He then concluded in a fine ap? peal to the blessings of peace?saying with fine voice and much fervor: If I had the voice of an archangel and could reach over these swelling mountain ranges billowing up around us, I would proclaim it to all my countrymen in every section of this wide Union, on this the birthday of American liberty, peace on earth and good will to man as the one good thing above all others needful amongst the sons of this groat land, where it is only to will it for our people to be free and happy to their remotest posterity, and where it is only necessary to pursue the peaceful industries of life with the ardor our people have ever ex? hibited in the field to make us the rich? est as well as the freest people ever known to history. The Governor sat down in a burst of applause, and his re? marks seemed to have been universally admired. Ex-Governor Senter, of Tennessee, was then introduced and made a most busi? ness-like, sensible and able speech. He said he had come 600 miles to reach Hendersonville, a little over eighty miles from where he resided. He had come from the daughter of North Carolina to join with the mother on this auspicious occasion, when the men who had shoul? dered this great work were casting about for the ready means to push the whole matter to a final consummation. The speaker said: As the daughter of the old North State we want you to take us back to the bosom of our old mother. _ (Ap flause.) And we want you to do it now. t is useless to tell the men who have achieved what I saw, in coming here through the mountain passes, how to do it. They will find the way out of the present snap. They will not consent to stand still now, almost in sight of the freat objective point of all their efforts, came to tell you, he said, that we will meet you at the border of Tennessee, and that you may rely upon this as an accom? plished fact. When you tap the graneries of the great West and make this, as it is, the natural line of transportation and travel ; between the South and West, a new day and a new life shall have come to you and to us. We are here to-day to show our sympathy in the great work and to assure you from Tennessee that our part shall be done to meet you as you come to us, and that you may accept this as? surance with perfect confidence. Judge Moses will read certain communications from important railroad men of our sec? tion for which I ask a hearing. Gov. Senter was listened to with profound at? tention throughout, and the practical character of his remarks gave great satisfaction. Judge John L. Moses then came for-, ward and assuring the public of the au? thoritative force of the writets read sev? eral communications. Judge G. D. Fowles, of North Carolina, was introduced and made an ornate ad? dress, in which he paid a handsome com? pliment to Vance, Ransom, Hampton and Butler. He concluded with a remark which was cheered to the echo, that B. Y. McAden might go to bed to-night conscious of having achieved a great work. President S. Y. Tupper, of the Charles? ton Chamber of Commerce, was then in? troduced. He was handsomely received, and listened to with great attention. He said: I have come among you for the first time to breathe your mountain air, and your bracing air and beautiful scenery to speak in fitting terms of the wonderful work you have performed. When you raise an obelisk upon the mountain to the memory of Hayne, McDuffie and Gadsder., Charleston claims the privilege of contributing a block in honor of the living heroes Duncan and McAden, who are pushing on the work they so nobly began. (Immense applause.) We are told that all Frenchmen, when they die, fo straight to Paris. As a Charleston ian, may as well assume, therefore, that all your roads, when completed, lead straight to Charleston. (Laughter and applause.) Charleston has much at stake in this enterprise. I regret that under her pres? ent embarrassments she can offer but lit? tle pecuniary assistance at this time. The man who advocates railroad appro? priations in that city, in the face of heavy taxation, a large municipal debt and the millions we have sunk already in railroad enterprises, must encounter some oblo? quy, and the opposition of small politi? cians and office-seekers. But I will ven? ture against that sort of censure. I will go back to Charleston and tell the people of this majestic spectacle among the mountains to-day; of the thousands that have assembled to cheer on this work by which Charleston is to be quickened and built up. And I will then ask them to make some sacrifice, and even part with some of their possessions, if necessary, to complete this connection with the West. But I bring you now the hopes and greetings of a kindred people, bound to you by ties of blood and a common destiny; a people so lately impoverished by war, and but slowly advancing towards prosperity. They commend your energy and pray that this connecting link be? tween the West and South Atlantic may be speedily accomplished. You have before you one at least who has advocated your cause and believed in the consummation of it. It is now the only practicable route by which the seaboard and the West can be united, and so impressed upon me was this belief that a year ago I referred to it in the communication which I had the honor to make to the committee on commerce of the United Stales Senate when urging the appropriation for Charleston harbor. We are preparing in Charleston to meet you. It is your natural outlet to the sea. Our railroad will shortly be extended to the water's edge and its freight will be brought within the reach of the ship's tackles; and as the general government is now at work in earnest, deepening our bar and harbor, the largest merchantmen and steamers in the world will soon be ?able to enter our port in safety. About ?30,000,000 have been invested iu Charleston in presses, warehouses, banks and railroads for the accommoda? tion of commerce. I did intend going into some statistics and figures showing which is the shortest route to Cincinnati, and how much it would be for your advantage to trade with Charleston. But in the presence of these fair ladies I have not the heart to do it. I would as Boon repeat the multi {tlication table or cipher out a sum in ong division as expect to interest them over a table of railroad distances. Would that I could, in proper terms, make some acknowledgment for my friends and my? self to these ladies for adding grace and decorum to this vast assemblage by their presence. Major D. B. Duncan was then intro? duced, and said that he would be untrue would I catch inspiration from to himself did he fail to acknowledge the gratitude and appreciation which swelled his bosom on the occasion. He would be still more untrue as a man did he fail to acknowledge where the chief honors of this achievement belonged. It was to be remembered to the enduring honor of Union County, though no part of the Spartanburg and Asheville Road wonld touch her border, yet she initiated the work with a subscription of $150,000. It is true Spartanburg, Henderson and Buncombe have done nobly, but all must yield the palm to Union. (Applause.) Again it must be said but for Maj. Cole man, whose genius scaled the mountains, the road would never have reached suc? cess. Therefore, to this great, earnest, modest child of genius, the son of your own soil, we come to do honor according to his unquestioned merits. (Wild cheers for Coleman, and much applause.) The Hon. J. M. Leach here came for? ward and made one- of those rich, ready and rare addresses peculiar to him and very satisfactory to large assemblies. He j said his name was attached to every bill for internal improvements that had ever Eassed a North Carolina Legislature, and e had sustained this road with all his might. Now he was prepared to say that it must go on. There was no other thing to say about it, and.be was reminded of the story of the little boy who was found gouging in a gopher hill with a sharp stick. Time and again he was advised of the fruitlessness of his task. At last when he had been many times exhorted to desist he said: "I'll be sure to get him; I must get him; by thunder, I must get him; for if I don't, we won't have any meat at home." (Burstof laughter.) Now, this is just the wav it stands with the matter of finishing this road. We must do it or there will be no meat in the fam? ily. (Much laughter and applause.) And when you see McAden at the end of a sharp stick scratching for the means to do it, you may be sure, my fellow-citizens, that the gopher meat is sure to come. (Laughter and applause.) The General went on, making telling hits, all meaning business as well as fun all the time, and at times coupled with pathos and eloquent bursts, which roused applause in every direction. Attorney General Toumans, of South Carolina, was then introduced, and made a beautiful address, in which he recount? ed the triumphs of physical science. He spoke of Hayne as a martyr to the great work,,dying at Asheville just before the scheme was abandoned. He said South Carolina had spent millions for roads and Charleston had sper.t her treasure like water for connections with the interior. Whatever the great West may now do, then, in completing the work so nobly begun with us?whatever of rich products she might send to our shores?we shall give back to the Northwest a more pre? cious dowry than bride ever gave bride? groom?a broad and beautiful harbor. I Here the speaker alluded in most appro Sriate and complimentary terms to Cap ;. . C. Post, now'engaged in the works of I Charleston harbor. Ex-Governor Bonham, when intro? duced, said briefly he had not come to indulge in a speech. He wished simply to be present on the interesting occasion. He was glad to be here and to know that South Carolina had done her duty in this matter. Chicago had promised, if we should build the road to Cumberland Gap, to meet ns there. Col. R. Y. McAden was introduced and welcomed with cheers. He said it was hardly fair to make him build the road and then put double duty on him in speech-making besides. Coleman, by his genius, bad not only brought ns over the mountains, but he had advanced his pro? fession twenty years by the work. When they had undertaken this work it was a very doubtful achievement from every point of view. In less than five years they had mastered every difficulty, and all was now plain sailing. Only $125,000 was wanting to go to Asheville only 9J miles of grading was necessary arid that over the smoothest section of road. The cry now was: Shall the road go on? What says North Carolina ? What says South Carolina? What says Charleston? These are questions which must now be answered. There was no time to lose. We must go on, and for one he was pre? pared to say it must and shall go on. (Great cheering and applause.) N. H. Bu3bee, Esq., of Raleigh, N. C, was then introduced and spoke at some length in a spirited address, touching the day and the occasion. Mr. John W. R. Pope, of the Register. was introduced by Gen. Clingman, ana spoke briefly, as follows: He did not consider this an occasion for rhetoric or fine talking at all. It was an occasion for facts and business. Facts always meant what they said and said what they meant. We are at Hendersonville to? day, 271 miles from Charleston, directly on the way to the great West. We have been told 6J miles of grading is all we have to do, and the rest of the gap, some 42 miles, would be done?indeed wsb Erovided for by North Carolina. We ave to deal with the 21 miles to Ashe? ville, with only O*- miles of grading to do, and that $125,000 will finish the road and iron iL Let us, then, keep a steady eye on this $125,000, and ask ourselves in North Carolina and South Carolina what we can do to cure this deficiency. That was the live issue now ? The glori? ous past is a great matter; the pressing demands of the present greater. What can you do in this matter? That's the question now, and "that's what's the matter with Hannah," now. Never was there an occasion in which the old max? im was more pertinent, "Ho gives twice who quickly gives." Gen. Clingman thanked the audience for their attention and decorum, and the meeting was among the things that were. We can only add that it was a great suc? cess, and that no less than 3,500 people were present. The Nature of a Miracle. A priest, after vainly trying to explain the nature of a miracle to a doubting Irishman, suddenly stopped, kicked him, and asked, "Did you feel that?" "Yes," Baid the Irishman. "If you hadn't," re? sumed tho priest, "it would have been a miracle." Thus argument sometimes fails to convince, though every objection be fully answered. Like stubborn are the few who yet doubt the efficacy of Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines. Positive proof of merit has repeatedly been ad? vanced. Testimonials from prominent cit? izens in nearly every town in North America have been published, certifying to the doctor's sincerity, honesty, and su Serior skill. Why longer doubt? If af icted with a cold, cough, bronchitis, consumption, or any scrofulous disease or humor, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis? covery will effect your speedy cure. Give no heed to what some unsuccessful phy? sician, or healthy and "skeptical" neigh? bor may say. Decide for yourself. J. A. Alexander, M. D., of Broadway, Va., writes that ho has thoroughly tested Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines in an exten? sive practice, and has found them to possess superior merit, and to do all that was claimed for them. He further says that a copy of tho Pcoplo's Common Sense Medical Adviser should be in every house. ? "Ah, yes," said Mrs. Partington, some years ago on the 22d of February as she saw the military pass by, "Wash? ington is dead, and the worst of it is that his mantlepiece don't seem to have fallen on any man now living." _ LUMBER!

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dyjl, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In i'act, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged, AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLanljs Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most h:i;?py results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are uncqualed. 15 LTV A RE OF IMITATIONS.

Out oj Col. J, C. Branton. Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871. Gents?For sixteen years I bavo beon a great sufferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my r>>om and bed for fif? teen yean with scrofulous ulncratlons. Tho most approved remedies for such cases had been used, ana the most eminent physicians consulted, with? out any decided benefit. .Thus prostrated, dis? tressed, desponding, I was advlted by Dr. Aycr, of Floyd County, Ga., to commence the use of your Compound Extract Stillingla. Language is as in? sufficient to describe the relief I obtained from the uso ot the Stillingla as it is to convey an adequate Idea of tho intensity of my suffering before using your medicine-; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Ex? tract of StiUingia, until I can sar truly. "I am cured of aU pain," of all disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this re? markable cure, without any return of the disease. For tho truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga.. and to the members of tho bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, your obedient servant, J. c. BRANSON, Att'y at Law. A MIRACLE. West Poixt, Ga., Sept 10,1870.'

In March, following, pieces of bonoToe Sn to work out of tho right arm, and continued appear tiU all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of tho right foot and leg. Tho caso was then pronounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless, I was Induced to try Dr. Pemberton's Compound Extract of Stillin? gla, and was sowcll satisfied with its effects that I have contlnued the uso of It until tho present. My daughter was confined 'o her bed about six years be for o she sat up or even turned over with? out help. She now sits up all day, and sews most if her time?has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her Umbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.
