TROUBLE AMONG THE NEGROES ON THE COAST. THE NEGROES ON BACK BITER, OPPOSITE SAVANNAH, ARMING THEMSELVES. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE UP THE LANDS. The Savannah News of Monday has the follow? ing: A rumor was prevalent in this city yesterday that a collision had occurred between a detach? ment of tho United States soldiers and tho freed? men on Mr. Cheves' plantation, by which..several [ives had been lost, but, from what we could learn, there was really no conflict between them. We found the officers very reticent, but, from what we zould learn, the facts are these: An order has been issued to Capt. H. C. Brandt, Commissioner of the freedmen's Bureau, who has charge of the ne jrocs on Back River, to the effect that the lands ire to be turned over to tho owners, and the reedmen to make contracts. A portion of the Shoves property has been leased by Mr. Smith Samweli, who was desirous of making arrange nenta with the negroes, but they positively re? used, and threatened to take Mr. Barnwell's life. Application was then made to Captain Brandt, rho furnished Mr. Barnwell with a corporal and ix men, with whom he proceeded to the placo, but oon found, that the negroes were determined to esiBt. He then carno back and made application or a detachment of. fifty men. They were fur lished from Fort Pulaski, and Lieutenant Miller. >f the Sixteenth Infantry, detailed to command hem. Captain Brandt then proceeded a ross the iver and left twenty-five men at tho mill. With be balance he wont to Mr. Barnwell's place, and at rst saw nothing bnt a few women and children, le read his orders to thom, and said that he came o them as a friend and not to fight them. Soon hereafter the detachment was surrounded by oree or four hundred armed negro men ano. wo ?en, the'men keeping to the rear of the wom*n nd children. We have been informed that tho negroos have con thoroughly drilled and armed, and that an fficer, with sash and sword, was in command. Wo Iso learn that the negro lawyer, Bradley, whoap h*ed to bo admitted t o practice in tho Superior "oort last week, is at tho bottom of tho wholo bing; that he has informed tho negroes that thoy annot bo removed; that Congress has passed a iw giving them the righi io hold the landa; and hat he has reno untended** them to resist the offi era of the Bureau. Some of tho negroes presont d what they said was their warrnt, and walch had >een given them by Bradley for the sum of one iollar a head. Wo understand that dispatches have been sent D Gen. Scott, informing lum of tho state of affairs, nd that ho will probably arrive on the scene to ay. A steamboat loft yesterday afternoon with upplies and stores for tho soldiers, but we did not .ear of its returning last night. Thoy were armed with .clubs, hooks and mus? eta. The Captai? stated that he wantod thom to ppoint ono or two mon to talk tho matter over rith him, and advisod them that he did not want o drive them off the place, but merely to induco hem io moke contracts with Mr Barnwell. This hey refuged, and said the lands belonged to them; hey had paid taxes to the Government, and that hey would not leave. While the parley was progressing, somo of tho icgroes had got in tho rear of the soldiers and be ind a fence, and when discovered they had their uns pointed through the holes of tho fence, and caring directly on tho soldiers. Discovering this, he Captain judiciously determined to withdraw is men, not wishing to shed blood, especially as he women and children would probably nave been he sufferers. He retired to the mill whore he had ;ft the balance of the soldiers, and came to town >r further orders from Gen. Scott, commanding ho District. A RADICAL LIE.-Tho eubjoined statement has ocn travelling the rounds of tho Northern papers, ad is everywhere received with acclamations as a onuine specimen of "rebel" Stato Government, 'he BfalXEB of tho tale is proclaimed as a martyr, ud the strong arm of tho Government is invoked i his aid. The story, like Mr. SUMNER'S letters, ?as coined to suit some emergency, and as tho Iharlcstouians have never hoard of tho illustrious LILLEE, the presumption is that he is a mythical ersouage, who, in his capacity of attache to the ladical party, does duty whenever occasion ro uires; in fact, we have a strong suspicion that the &id MILLER is no less a personage than the re owed JOSEPHUS himself, the veritable little joker. AN AGG RA VATED CASE.-A man. named Miller re ?oved from New York State a few years ago, to outh Carolina, where bo married. Upon the ont reak of the war he was forced into tho rebol mks, though still a thorough Unionist. When herman appeared in that Stato he escaped from ho insurgent Unes, and, reaching tho Goneral's amp, imparted very valuable information to him. Then om- army reached the sea Miller came to few York. He remained there till the war closed, nd then- returned to South Carolina. Thereupon tie civil authorities arrested him, and, after being ried, ho was sentenced to be hanged. Tho prin ipal charge against him was that ho had given liormation to Sherman, which lod to the capture tproperty belonging to his brother-in-law. Ho i now in confinement, waiting the execution of is sentence. The attention of the Government, owevr-r, has been directed to his caso, and his iends are confident that the necessary steps will e taken for his release. "Too BAD.-The Mobile Tribune has changed ands. The editor, in retiring, winds up with lis pathetic sentence. We pity him from the bot im of our heart, and hope that he will console imsolf in the reflection that in thiB world of sor )w and misfortune editors have their trials and riovances os well as other people : But I must drop a tear over my baby, the Tri? une, which is now in the hands of others. I drop lat tear, and part with those whom I lovo, with ) much pain that, while writing this, tho paper is et with the water that frJls from my oyes. I now very well that this is folly, but who has no ?Hy? THE SUGAR PLANTATSOKB OP LOUISIANA.-Sugar lactations are in tho market now at unusually leap rates. One, situated about fifty-eight miles jove Now Orleans, containing thirteen hundred id fifty-nine arpents, with fino, commodious trolling house, built of brick, and improvements, i extensivo brick sugar house with machinery jmpleto, cabins for eighty laborers, was lately >ld for $32,800. Terms, one-fourth cash; balanco io, two and three years. This estate made in L9, an average season, two huudred and fifty [>gsheads of sugar. Before the war, this planta on. with the negroes attached, was valued at L50.000. It is not an extreme case. A New Or ans paper sa vs that it will require about twenty ro millions o? dollars in the way of loans to re? lace tho losses sustained by tho sugar-planting terest of Louisiana and to placo tho several bun red plantations in good working condition. Even len the scarcity of labor-will prosent serious dis mragemonts. THE Baltimore Sun furnishes tho following atistics : The trade between Baltimore and thc juthern States during tho past year, by water, is been of a gratifying character. The receipts [ colton divring tho year ending December 31 ero 28,683 bales, of which 9027 halos carno from orfolk, 9198 from Savannah, 4908 from Chnrles m, 2443 from Wilmington and other North Caro? la portB, 779 from Apalachicola, 921 from New ricans, 304 from Richmond, 383 from Mobile, and 17 from Galveston. Of tobacco tho receipts were iring the voar wore 2834 bags, while tho am mit ', flaxseed brought to market from the South foots j 3364 barrels. Tho recoipts of naval stores from brth Carolina were 2S.622 barrols rosin, 4265 bar Is tar, 2485 barrels turpentine, and 2713 barrels tch. Besides tho above, there have been very javy receipts of lumbor, shingles, old iron, and rndreds or other Bmall articles. General Dix has rented tho apartments of Mr. A?TO??, in the Rue do Presburg, which arc_vory )acious and handsome, well ventilated, and adapt 1 to receiving company. Oar Washington letter. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS ] CONGRESSIONAL FURY AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. . WASHINGTON, January 19.--The telegraph has already notified you of the Radical outbursts against the Prewidont, that have occurred in each wing of the Capitol this week; but it cannot have dilated upon tho savago growth of that spirit o* wild accusation which now soems to have seized at least a third of the majority in the Senate and House. lu the latter body, it is to be expected that tho expression of the impeaching members will be of the extremest iHolence, however lacking in material corroborativo proof; hence witness the. insane accusations of Hon. Ben. LOAN, of Missouri, the other day, to tho effect that ANDREW JOHNSON was in direct comrUcity with the plot, to'assassi? nate LINCOLN, and that the consideration, to follow his consequent elevation to the Presidential Chair? was to bo the exercise of executive clemency and partiality to the people of the South. In the lower House, such ebullitions of irresponsible wrath are not in excess cf the license of debate, becauso six years reign of passion and prejudice upon that floor have made invective and denunciation proper by common usage and consent. Not so the Senate; perhaps from tho uncomplimentary fact that its members are too cumbersome of speech, and slow of motion, to undertake any very wild paroxysm of oratorical fury. But yesterday came the exception, in tho similitude of a speech from CHARLES SOI NER, the immaculate pink in whom is compressed all the theory of hia party, without any conception of its practico, or ability to mould its laws. Hear him : '.'At last the country is opening its eyes to the actual condition of things. Already it sccs that Andrew Johnson, who came to supremo power by a bloody accident, has become the successor of Jofferson Davis in the spirit by which ho is gov? erned, and in the mischief which he bas inflicted on hie country. It sees the President of the rebel? lion revived in the President ot the United States. It sees that tho violence which took tho life of his illustrious predecessor is now, bv his perverse complicit?, extending through the rebel States,, making all who lovo the Union its victims, and filling the land with oppression. It soos that the war upon tho faithful Unionists is still continued under his powerful auspices, without any distinc? tion of color, so that both white and black aro sacrificed alike. It sees that he is a minister of i discord and not a minister of peace ; it sees that so long as his opinion prevails there is small shance for tranquility, or security, or reconcilia? tion ; that tho restoration of prosperity in the rebel States so much longed for must bo arrested ; ;hat tho business of the whole country must be mibarraBBod, and those conditions upon which rests a sound currency must be postponed. All ?hese things the country now sees. And this from one of tho men who, in all likeli ?ood, will be called upon to act as a judge in a rial of the very individual whom he has already oreswom. As was well remarked by Senator ?EVERDT JOHNSON, who, immediately ofter SDH cun's conclusion, administered a stinging rebuke >f the 'latter's intemperate asseverations : "The Senator from Massachusetts well knows that there s in the House a proposition to impeach, and, in .dv-nee, he places himself out of the palo of an ipright judge by pronouncing, in tbe face of the ountry, that no has judged and condemned lready." There is no doubt that this spirit of accusation ,nd malevolent desire to work the President wrong, ,t whatever hazard of honor or truth, is upon the ticrease; and long before the Judioiary Committee if tho House is ready to announce that it has rorked up an indictment against the President, I ,m inclined to think that the war of words upon he Executive will run higher and more recklessly han ever before. Jost now there is going on a ontrovorsy between the Washington correspond nts" of tho Now York Tribuno, and Times and lorald-the former, holding that tho rc lorts to tho effect that United States bonds r.ie boing> prepared for rotura to this ountry on account of the rumors of impeachment, ad been dictated by tho President, m order to reate a panic among the people, and so rouse opular clamor against tho movement to decapi? te Mr. Johnson. Whatever plausible Btory may e advanced in support of this assumption, I can, ] f mine own knowledge, assort that within throe ' ays a leading broker of New York, whoso nome is ( otent upon tho Stock Exchango, r.nd who manages j "ring" whoso influence is felt even among tho j unny bags of tho Treasury vaults, has received ' dvicea from his agents in Frankfort and in London, 1 lat they would prefer to suspend tho salo of U. S. j overnment securities until after the Congres- 1 ional plot bad evolved itself, and moantimo they uggosted tho bonds had better return to American 1 hores until tho storm had blown over. And back ! ney come-a million nnd a half-by the next week's ', iou. Will the peoplo of the North be warned by 1 iiis first ripple arising from F?deral credit tossed ] ito tho sea. and destined to reach these shores ) s a great wave, threatening to aubmorgo even the onie faith in the stability ?f the Government and : ;s promises to pay? If thoy realize the peril, 1 take your life there's an end to impeachment. ! A FASHIONABLE ROW. \ Socially a great hub-bub is gathering, and pure- | jr out of political bad tempor. Tho inauguration >f tho receptions ba* had the first to do with ovok ug tho petty conflict of tho hom', and they now tightly demonstrate to what marvellous extent hey have grown. Tho wives of Radical Sonators .nd Congressmen receive one crowd, and tho ladamc Secretaries of tho Cabinet play tho hostess o another. Between the two, como the receptions if the President, and Colfax, Speaker of the House, vhich are pervcrto-ily made tu socially represent he two great conflicting ideas of the day-tho )olicy of Congress and the policy of the Adminia ration. Tbua, in the salons of ono is found all ho moderation and patriotism of the day; and fra ernizing in the other, como all tho Jacobinical hrong that mako the ; country unhappy and eopardizo her life. The lino is drawn aa closely s though a oount of tho respectivo numbera was o be taken upon tho prevailing representation of lach. Con. Grant's, and a few mansions presided ?vor by merely leaders of fashion, unknown in po? etical controversy, aro taken as tho vantage ground if both partios, and hither they moot, and hero allow those cordial manifestations of hatred that onduceB to tho general cheerfulness and jollity of he situation I have described. HORACE GREELEY. This miataken philoaopher and veteran rnmina or upon tho general depravity of things, has been n Washington for several days past. In personnel ic has not changed a whit thia quarter of a cen ury past, and he still adheres to the notorious diab" and a "shocking bad hat." He has with im a daughter-a young lady, bright, vivacious, ut slightly peculiar. Horace has been escorting cr to receptions since their stay in the city, and t is proper to add that they made "no distinction" n attending those entertainments, "on account of olor" of politics; but made tho whole rounds ;emal with all. lt making their way through the rowda. it not unfrequently happneed that father nd daughter would be separated, and each ongag d by mutual friends until tho evening and crowd rore away. MIBB Greeloy thon turning to look for he paternal escort, would often discover that Ho aco had withdrawn an hour before, arm-in-arm rith some friend, utterly oblivious of tho fact that dependent bit of female loveliness was being aban onod to the wonder and commiseration of a Washington crow 1, too much amused to proffer ssiatance. Tbs young lady, however, Becma to ave beeom'j accustomed to this extraordinary solation, and invariably orders her carriage and eparts alone whenever such emergency arises. THE PLAY. Two theatres are now in operation here, and oemingly doing well. At Wall's Opera House they re rendering the modern drama of tho "Long trike," which, I am inclined to think, is being ex ended beyond tho limits originally intended, and iring the public. At the oppoai tion concern, Mag? ie Mitchell; despite of tho coldest weather of the oason, is playing "Little Barefoot," to crowded ouscs. Last weok Max Marctzek tried a season of Italian pera among us, but thc uppor-tondom wero BO in? itiated with the receptions, sloighin^ parties, and kating carnivals, that they faded to put in a ory extensive appearance for Max, ana thus ho stired a loser by about five thousand dollars. VIDEX. THE Columbus Enquirer saya tho warehouse itely burned in that city caught in tho upper tory, where no person but ono of tho firm nad een for boura. The warehouse had been recently uilt, and belonged te J. J. Grant, Goo. P. Swift, len. N. D. Guerry, John Buchanar, and S. H, [ill. Tho cotton belonged to various parties, and ut little of it was insured. Judgo M. J. Crawford ?at iii halos ; Mr. Wm. F. Luckie some 50, and Er. Stone C5 bales ; Hon. J. M. Russell 7 bales ; lr. Randall Joues 70 (insured), and numbers of there considerable amounts. Tho total loaa was $50,000. SAD OCCURRENCE.-Parents should take warning, .om tho following very sad occurronco, as related y tho Edgefield Advertiser. Many quite small oya aro frequently seen with guns, which are Eten handled by thom in a very caroloas manner, bia should be guarded agaiust by those under hose control chose urchins should be. "On Fijday morning last, two littlo sons of Mrs. ichard Burton, n widow lady living in our vicini -, went out shooting, and before noon tho elder t them, a boy of thirteen, waa found a lifeless >rpse. Li loading his gun, ii had gone off, blow ig tho unfortunate child's brains ont. Much sym athv ia folt for thc ostimable family, so suddenly cd sadly bereaved." A P.VTRIOTTC THOUGHT BEAUTIFULLY EXPRESSED. he New Orleans Picayune, referring to tho de ijion of thc Supreme Court ott Military Comniis ona, Bays : "The emerging of the Supreme Court bove the atmosphere of partisan strifes and tu lultuous popular passions, into the region of. lim and unclouded justice, is the rising abovo io waters of tho Ararat, on which the ark of thc onstitution may repose in security. It is tbo Braid of tho good tidings that they, whom ita road roof ehelterii, may begin, without fear of irther floods, to turn their thoughts to the task I replenishing and adorning tho beautiful earth lat ia restored to them." Cotton-A Word to Planters. To the Editor of Hie Baily News: Tho writer is no scribe-would that he had the power of JUNTOS' pen to wield against those heart? less enemies of "tho land we love," the inveterate cotton planters. God "knows that most of our peo? ple have worshipped cotton for years, and that wo felt that cotton could fight our battlos without His assistance. What waa the result ? He has seen fit to scourge us terribly, and yet our people, though tho avenging hand of the Almighty has hardly been lifted from them, are already hastening back to their idol-cotton. Thousands of our fanners are counting how many hands they can got to plant cotton, how many dollars will that cotton bring, and how many acreB of land they can plant next year in cotton. Their slaughtered SOM are forgotten;: their outraged wives, daughters and sisters ..ar? forgotten; they ride over the ashes of their d?solato homes in haste to worship King Cotton, not remembering that tho very chains that now bind our country wore forged by cotton. Cotton built up tho East, then the Southwest, which, in time, built-up the Northwest-which, in time, rivetted our shackles-for if we had had to contend only with the Middle and Eastern States in om* struggle for freedom, we wo.uld have had no war. We made cotton tobtry Yankeo trash; lo .buy Western corn, meat and mules, heedlessly j destroying our "homesteads by "a most barbarous system of agriculture; and while all around us who have been Duying our cotton are comparatively rioh, and?thou? lands improving in quality and. price, om* cotton fields are hideous and barren wastes-monuments of a people's folly, For raisingjeverything calculated to: add to the comfort ana luxury of a people, wo are satisfied that the States of North Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia will compare favorably with any part of the world; and in point of health and salubrity, we have no hesitation.in saying that it is unequall? ed, being subjected fo no extremes of heat or cold. The country on the seaboard, from Georgetown, S. C., to the St. John'B River, Florida, we feel sah'sfiei in time will be justly doomed tho garden spot of the Atlantic shore.. For many years the writer has been fully convinced that cotton planting has done more to nun the States of Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia, than any calamity that could, in the ordin?r)' course of events, have be? fallen thom. Cotton planting. was tho cause of many valuable plantations in this Stato being de? populated of its negro labor to supply tho voraci? ous cotton planters of tho West, Look at the es? tates, tho princely parks, grounds and ruins that are to be found in the wilderness from hore to Sa? vannah, along on tho main land, and ask candidly the cause; and tho reply will be by some, the conn try is sickly; by others, tho rich cotton fields of the. West could pay a higher price for the labor than the proprietors of these estates could, and they had to go. As for the health, we contend that when people have taken tho trouble to inform themselves of the requirements of the climate, that there is no healthier and bettor climate in the world than can bo found along our.-seaboard, and that people live as ?ong, and raise as-large families here, as they do anywhere in the world. Whether the tearing up the fields of the West, and. destroying a fine country that would nave gradually been peopled ugby the surplus population of the South, in growing cotton (which cotton on? ly wont to enrich our onemifls"^ was good policy, we leavo to the intelligent and candid tb answer. Th oso few Unos have been written only to try and get you to lend your assistance, as weU as to got the press generally to exhort our planters gen eraUy to turn from cotton and go after such things os will make us independent ol' the North, and unless we make moro provisions bur laboring popu? lation w?l be enticed off. If some, one of our able and so ie nt :flc men would write a description of the seaboard of So a th Carolina, giving a description of its availability for growing grasses, cereals, fruit, fcc., it would bo very acceptable to many very re? spectable foreigners, who are desirous of making their homes among us. I Information of a reliable md scientific nature, as well as a description of ;he climate and manner of life among our people, would do more to promote emigraron here than mything else. POCOTALIGO. Pretty Sharp and Decided. Wo copy the following paragraph from Friday's Constitu? ional Union, published at Wasliington. Tho editor of tho . Union, Col. THOS. FLORENCE, is mown to bo a vory intimate friend of tho Presi lent, and, perhaps, speaks "from tho books," THE BLOOD? TREASON OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Tho Now York Horald, of tho 17th instant,' has ;wo articles on the subject of thc impeachment of ?ho President, which for malign ty and falsification >f history have no parallel in journalism. While .ed-handed treason held the pen, bitter and nore? en ting enmity to tho Constitution and our form of aovcrnmont fired tho brain which was bold and ricked enough to say to tho world that what it jails tho "misdemeanors"1 of thc President "render lim liable to impeachment." Tho transparent design of thoso articles is to nove the nnnds of woak-kneed Jacobin Republi? cans np to their work. Let thom take this advice, proceed in their wicked designs, and some moril? ug, in other placos and in a new condition, they rill realize tho bitter consequences. Indeed, as die Herald pays, "tho strugglo is still goiug ou." "Tho great Union movement of tho war will run its course," but riot as the Herald applies it-to attorly destroy tito Government, but to save it, md if necessary its strong and iron hand will be jivoked to slay tho course and prevent the con? summation of Radical treason. Tho great oath ol' tho President to protect md defend thc Constitu? tion wiU not bo forgotten, and tho people who sus? tain him, with thoir-.-fivo hundred thousand ma? jority of the voting population, North and South, trill not forget him. Tho Herald caros not for con? sequences. Nothing would please it so much as to see ruin and anarchy rampant. Let those who tvould take its advice beware. TOON WHOM CAN C0N0BE3S CALL? Events have already brought tho Government to tho very verge of another revolution. If the- Rad? ical majority in Congress pursues its treasonable sourso much longor, thu Government, in order to sustain itself, will have to arm its s apport eis. At tho call of the President, aU his friends North and 3outh, and tho army and tho navy wiU respond. En such a contest tho issue cannot bo doubtful. Congressmen may bo valiant fighters on the floo;* of Congress, but when they come to load thoir co? horts int? tho field it will bo another thing. Tho real armies and grca. soldiers of tho Republic wiU bo found fighting undor the Flag I We advise tho opposition of the determined and fixed fact that Andrew Johnson will serve out his constitu? tional term of office. THE NEW YORK SOUTHERN RELIEF ASSOCIATION. So many and such weU authenticated accounts havo reached tho North of tho tembl? destitution now provailing throughout a wide bolt of tho lately rebelliouB States that a rigorous movement has been set on foot by a number of ladies of this city to organizo a system for its prompt and effective relief. No political color whatever is to be givon to this movement. It will have but ono object-the saving of them that are ready to perish-and will bo ad? ministered in but ono spirit-tho spirit of that charity which blosses both them who receive and them who givo. The ladies aro encouraged to thoir good work by Mayor Hoffman, by the Catholic Archbishop or New York, by Bishop Potter and Dr. Tyne, and by a number ol other eminent laymen and clergy? men, 'i hoy havo taken a central office at No. ll Bond ftreet, where supplies ol' dry goods, clothing, ko., may bo daily sent from 9 A. M. to ti P. M. Messrs. Harris, Gainos & Co., No. 15 Whitehall street, will roceivo for thom any moro weighty contributions, and Commodore Garrison has gen? erously offered to furnish a steamer for conveying to the South the help wliich it must surely bc impossible that Now York will bo slow or niggard in extending to hundreds of thousands ol' women md children dring within onr own borders for lack of the absolute necessaries of lifo. [New York World. THE SOUTHERN STATES.-The New York Times, in an editorial on thc reconstruction problem, says that "every theory of restoration or reconstruction (vhich has boon promulgated is more or less illo? gical in ono or another of its parts. No set? tlement eeems possible which wiU not involve cer? tain inconsistencies in the courso of its develop? ment." Referring to the recent speech of Mr. BINGHAM, t says : To submit a constitutional aniendmont for ratifi? cation to tho excluded States, and thou to deny their organized and "sovereign" existence is ail nconsistoncy not easily explained. They can rati? fy only as States; and if they aro States when tho .atificaUon of an amendment tc the constitution s concerned, they aro also States as against the iorritorializing programme of Mr. Stevens. MEDALS FOR GENTLEMEN.-?-We mentioned, a few ?veek8 since, that Mr. LEONARD W. JEROME, of New fork, had made a donation of $50u0 to Princeton Dollego, of which tho interest was to hz devoted ;o the presentation of medals to members of the ionior class. Mr. JEROME, in making this gift, ?vrole to tho President of Lhc Collcgo as foUows : I shah be obliged if you will arrange that the in? ;crest on these bonds may bo annually expended n tho purchase of a medal to bo -warded to tho jradnating Senior, who shall bo declared by a vote >f his classmates- to be thc first gentleman in his ?lass. I know rou are surprised, dear Doctor, at tho lovclty ot this request, but you will be still more io when I tell you that you are the cause of it. I lave not forgotten tho remark you made upon a tortoni occasion to my class: "Young gentleman, vi th all your getting, I advise you to get a littlo nanners." I am right thou to offer a premium to tarry ont your views. I think thc most pressing necessity of Young America just now, is the article you recommended. Yo have plenty of science and are pretty well up, ?onsidoring our years, in art but our manners I uust say are rather rough. ' If tho trillo I offer ball have the effect to stimulate the young gen lemon under your charge to improvement in ibis espect, I shall feel that I have done them and the ?ountry a service. Tho character of a gentleman I consider within ho capacity of nil-at least it roquires no extra irdinary intellect. A due regard lor tho feeling of thors is, in my judgment, its foundation.

I was nearly deprived of ray reason, and hope had entire? ly left me, all tho efforts made for my recover}' having proved fruitless. . By tho first of November, 1865,1 had become so weak and feeble that I could scarcely stand alone, and, to all appearance, would soon die. At this time (having read your advertisement), my wife prevailed upon me to try your Bitters. A bottle was procured, and, strange to say, I soou commenced recovering. I have taken four bottles, and am enjoying aa good health now as could be expeeUd for ono of my age (about sixty years).
