WASHINGTON, March 4.-The House of Repre? sentatives proceeded to tho election of officers. The Republicans nominated Mr. COLFAX for Speaker, who received 127 votes. The Democrats nominated S. S. MABSHAXL, who received 30 votes. Mr. BBOOKS referred to the fact that seven? teen States were unrepresented, of which seven were of the original thirteen. He presented a pro? test of the Democrats against the further proceed? ings. The Clerk refused to receive the protest, Mr. COLFAX resumed his seat, and the members were sworn in. The Speaker announced that the President had signed, within the legal time, all Bills p.issed within ten days except that appropriat? ing $5(i,000 for th? Paris Exposition. The following protest from the President accom? panied the Army Appropriation Bill: "There are provisions in the Act to which I must call atten? tion. The second section contains provisions vir? tually, in certain cases, depriving the President of his constitutional fonctions as commander-in chief cf the army. The sixth section denies that ' certain States in the Union have the constitutional right to protect themselves by means of their own militia. These provisions are out of place in an Army Appropriation Bill, and the necessary appro? priations would be defeated if I withheld my signa? ture, and I sign it with a protest against the pro? visions named." The mles of the last House were then adopted, except during this week, when it shall be in order to suspend them. This was carried by a vote of 120 to 30, and the House then adjourned. In the Senate, Mr. WADE was conducted to the Chair, and Mr. FOBNEV. was elected Secretary, when thc Senate adjourned. It is probable the President will send a formal message to the Senate to-morrow. It will bo very brief. Washington News. WASHINGTON, March 4.-All the Government ap? propriations except the Deflcioncy Bill pass:CL. The latter includes the pay of Southern Treasury agents, over which there has been a big fight. The Military Appropriation Bill, involving the disbandment of Southern militia, and placing the general army in a great measure independent of the President and the War Department, has not yet been vetoed or signed. Congress adjourned at noon. Tho Bankrupt, Deficiency and Anny Appropria? tion Bills, wanting the President's signature, fail? ed to become laws. Tho Clerk is now organizing tho new Congress. The increased tariff on wool includes all woollen fabrics. There was considerable excitement and misap? prehension regarding the signing of certain Bills. It appears that tho officer was too modest to dis? tribute the proceedings of the House, and laid them gently on the table. The [Bankrupt Bill is a law, with others. Meeting at Atlanta. ATLANTA, March 4.-A large public meeting was held here to-day to consider the condition of the country. Resolutions were offered approving of SHERMAN'S Bill and the course recommended by Gov. BROWN, -which were rejected. The- meeting then divided. Tho minority will, hold a meeting to-night. The majority reorganized and passed resolutions counselling quiet submission, charac? terizing the Bill as harsh and unjust, and approv? ing tho noble course of President JOHNSON, and stating that the Southern people should not barter their manhood and their honor by accepting the terms of the Bill, and recommend that the South? ern Governors take steps to test the constitution? ality ol' the Bill. ._ Jg ?j Pabilo Meeting at Augusta. AUGUSTA , March 4.-A meeting has been called to consider Gov. BROWN'S recommendation. Opinion is divided.

Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on Friday, says : In case President Johnson shall indicate his in? tention to faithfully execute the Reconstruction Bill, although he may feel constrained to veto it, in order to be consistent, Republicans generally agree (so says a Republican Senator) to drop the impeachment proposition, and allow political ex? citement to sub ?ido and the country to have a little rest from revolutionary innovations; for all concede that, to impeach a President for any act done by President Johnson would be an innovation on a? tho past, in respect to Executive powers and the usages of that office: and especially would it be so were a President to be impeached, primarily or ul? timately, for the exercise of a constitutional pre? rogative such as the veto power. Nor is the pre? sent believed to be a suitable time for the introduc? tion of new precedents tending to radical changes in the relations, power and responsibility, or to es? tablish new doctrines so dangerous as that which declares the right of Congress to remove a President for the mere offence of differing with that body in policy and opinion touching the interests of the counay. But there is some doubts in regard to the course that will be pursued by General Butler in th9 next Congress on the subject of impeach? ment; and that doubt is the more important as it is very generally apprehended that he aspires to bea leaJer m that body-at all events, on the question of impeachment. Thero does not appear to be much alarm, however, depicted in the coun? tenances of those who speak of the matter. In speaking of tho General there is a good suggestion made in this connection in reference to him by ono who is familiar with his habits in court, and that ia, that when he takes his seat in Congress the House bad botter adopt a resolution transfer? ring toe entire Congressional Library into their Hall, co avoid the necessity of continual labor on tho part of pagos and assistants in conveying it back and forth, for it will all bo wanted. And, as Lord Eldon said of a contemporary lawyer, it is romarked of tho General, that he is "abettor bookkeeper than accoautant." ~T ~-??;;. ?, I NOVELS AND NOVELISTS. Poetry and fiction etymologically signify that whioh is created or made [by the fancy], in con? tradistinction to a narrative of what is historically true, or a description of objects taken from nature. In the review of a recent work of fiction, we had occasion to protest against the increasing tendency to a bald, common-place realism, in the writings of tbe female novelists of tbe day; and more especially so in thc American species of the genus. Miss JANE AUSTEN'S novels,-"Pride and Preju? dice," "Emma," "Sense and Sensibility," etc.-have been so long and so extravagantly praised by tho critics of three successive generations, and held np as models, for pictures of character, for dia? logue, as well as for the general menage of tho stories, that we can scarcely wonder that she should have had hosts of imitators. It seems, of all patterns, the most easy to copy. There have been attempts at writing JANE EYRES, SHJELETS, and ADAM BEDES ; but few of thc fair adventurers in the field of fiction have the courage to attempt such soaring nights. A mere knowledge of English is insufficient, even though they were competent to criticise tho redoubtable GEORGE WASHINGTON MOON, who dissected tho English of DEAN ALFORD, who himself had written a dissertation on the Queen's English. A thorough command of our mother tongue, however, anda chaste, easy diction are not to be despised. A knowl? edge of life and society also are very important ad? juvants to the novelist, nay, they may be consid? ered postulates ; but of themselves they do not constitute an adequate qualification to a master of the art. Learning, tbe knowledge of sciences and of languages, of history ' <:d philosophy, may bo useful aids, though of this we are somewhat doubt? ful. An encyclopedia, the omni scibUe of human learning, is quite a different thing from a readable work of fiction ; indeed the two are seldom moro than tangents to each other. Wit and humor, though so often underrated by the lady novelists of the day, in our opinion, constitute an important requisite in the modern novel ; but in themselves also are insufficient. The close observer of inanimate nature,-the possessor of a rare faculty,-has a wealth of re? source which, if properly used, lends one of the greatest charms to a work of fiction. But WORDS? WORTH; perhaps, the greatest of modern masters of this art, never wrote a novel, and from what we know of his wri'mgs, we have reason to infer that be would not have met with distinguished success bad bo assayed a creativo work of this kind. Ko, the several qualifications above enumerated, and many more are all needed for the armamenta? rium of the great novelist of the present day. Bat something more besides is requisite. There must be imagination to create, and fancy to embellish; the master's hand to bestow strength and vigor, and the bight of genius to kindle a flame of beanty. We know that our ?standard is high, and that but few come up to such measure of excellence. It is all important, however, now that the novel is fast becoming the universal text book, that serious con? sideration, more than heretofore, should be given to an improvement, both moral and intellectual, of this branch of letters. .The great majority read for amusement-some few for instruction. Tho chief desideratum for the reading world, therefore, is something that will satisfy both ?hese demands; and the novel professes to do this-hence the wide popularity ehjoyod by thia species of literature. History,1 travels, biog? raphy, morals, works on science or philosophy, in days of yore, were considered the proper pabulum for the nascent intellect, and systematic instruc? tion in these' several branches of knowledge deem? ed cf the first importance. Works of fiction lay under the ban parental, magisterial, and ecclesias? tic; a romanee could only'be read hy the sentimen? tal boarding school miss, with locked doors and a smiting conscience. But those were the days of old fogy?m.. Universal emancipation ii tbe watch? word now.' We have story booksfo^+rvj babe in the cradle-not yonr nursery tale? BUIJU& Mother Goose, Cock Bobin, .'?nd Little Bel iiirlu.g Hood. J j Young America would not brook seen an insult io his.understanding.' Nb; there ure regular stories, '1 with "plots" and aiV&r children of every age, and | ] the whole curriculum of art, literature, science and philosophy is to be taught-we beg pardon, that is not the word-insinuated, by these pleasing ' creations of the fancy. Who again shall say that there is no royal road to learning-that the path of knowledge is not strewn with flowers ? That an evil like this must bring its own cor? rective, ,ia, in a measure, true; and the; wide-felt Jemand for reading of this kind has developed a most brilliant'array of talent,-such as, we fear, | ( jan be marshalled by no other branch of literature. Cn Germany FREITAG, AUERBACH, NrERrrz, GER- I j 3XSXBR and SPLTLHAGEN, at the head of their ' jraft, have their pre-eminence called in question \ DVV a host of lesser lights. LAUABTTNE, VICTOR I EUGO, DUMAS, and GEORGE SAND aro the Grand jj Marshals of France, looked up to and imitated by ?housands of litterateurs and feuilletonists lees j 1 mown to fame. Kassia, Sweden, Hungary and Denmark, Italy and Spain, all now have their regu ar writers of fiction. But England thus far has held the pre-eminence 1 in this department of belles-lettres. SPD-DLEK, j SAUFT, CAROLINE PI CUTLER, and LOUISA MTJHL BACH have written - many historical novels, and jome among them master pieces of creative art; ' * but all of theso are more or less imitators of tbe 3reat Wizzard of the North, tho pioneer of the His- |, iorical Boiaance. WALTER SCOTT is the canon by ivhich their excellence is measured. FTJEXDING, SMOLLETT, RICHARDSON, GOLDSMITH, Madame D 'ARRLA Y an d Mrs. RADCLIFFE, each opened a new | rein ur this rich mine years before1 fiction h cl at- j ?ained to the dignity of a fine art in any otter coun? ty; and, although fashion, manners, and taste have , ( :hanged much since then, their works are still read, and to this day stand unequalled in the points in which they severally excel. Tom Jones, Humphrey Clinker, Sir Charles Grandison, Dr. ' Primrose, Evelina, and the Mysteries of Udolpho, are universally acknowledged as guide posts in tho I ( history of lile and manners in Great Britain dur- '1 ing the past century. JANE AUSTEN, Miss EDGEWORTH, BULWER, DICK? ENS, THACKERAY, CHARLOTTE BRONTE, and GEORGE ELIOT,-these may bo set down as the great mas- , tera who have brought to perfection the modern i novel. They are widely read, and have contribu? ted moro in giving true representations of men and ?nings in England du >g the past fifty years, 'han has been derived frou. the sum total of all the labors of all the other eotemporary writers. We have singled ont these as being the foremost and the best. There are others equally unobjectiona? ble, but as they are all more.or less modelled upon" those already named, they need not bo specially -enumerated here. , Unfortunately, however, there aro many who possess either not sufficient intelligence or culti? vation to appreciate all or any of the foregoing, and who nevertheless crave the mental excite? ment .produced by the perusal of a highly wrought romance pr tale; and to minister to these morbid appetites we have the flash and the sensation novel. Bigamy, murder and poisoning is theil* chief Btock in trade. AU such novels wo consider unmitigated evils. There can be no possible bene? fit derived from them. They excite tho imagina? tion, deprave the taste, dry up our sympathies, and make us orave for dishes more and more spicy, to say nothing of tho danger of such fantdiarity with scenes of vice and crime. These books, more? over, are usually written by fifth-rate authors,-of late days more generally authoresses, who scorn to use the homely accessories ol good English, choice diction, or even general information. Their ob? ject is solely to concoct a story of blood and thunder,-and this they do; and, we aro sorry to know, for this they ore well paid. THE Savannah Nevos and Herald of the 4th, in alluding to the murder of Mr. GEOBGE C. HEY WARD, says : RUMORED HOMICIDE.-A report has been preva? lent in our city for the hst few days to the effect that Mr. George C. Heyward, a gentleman of ex? tensive acquaintance in this city, and one of tho most respected planters in Beaufort District, South Carolina, had boen brutally murdered by a negro who was formerly in MB employ. The ru? mors, regarding the manner of his death are very conflicting; the only definite information we have was, that when last seen he was crossing Bucking? ham's Ferry, on his wav to the plantation which ho was cultivating. A short time afterwards his son heard the report of firearms, but, at the time, thought nothing of it. His long and unusual ab? sence, together with the report of the firearms montioned above, excited tho suspicion of his son, who, accompanied by a few neighbors, started in queBtofhim. After "a short search his b-dy was found in a ditch, cloeo to the road, with a ball through hie forehead. Having ni? direct confir? mation of this sad event, we do not foci justifiable in placing it before tho public without tho assur? ance that as yet nothing official has boen received ?onfirming the current reports. CHARLESTON, S, LATEST FROM MEXICO. We have news from Vera Cruz to the 24th ult, announcing that all communication between that city and tba capital had been cut off, and that tho greatest consternation prevailed in tho City of Mexico, and indeed among the Imperialists all over tho country; and it would seom tbis alarm is not without very good foundation. On the 23d of January JUAREZ was at Zacatecas. On tho morning of tho 27th the Imperialist Gen. MIRAMOX, with 2500 troops, including 600 French, attacked General AUZA, whsj^ks defending Zaca? tecas with a garrison of 2000 Liberals. The latter were routed with a loss of about 250. Where JUAREZ was during the fight, or what has become of him since, it is not certainly known, though there are abundant rumors in reference to tho matter. The Liberal army reached' Jerez on the 28th. On tho 31st ESCOBEDO was within twenty-five leagues of Zacatecas, with 3800 men, and General AUZA was marching to join him with 1200 men, and CADENA with 500 more. On tho s?me day MIRA? TION loft tho place, but whether to meet and sur prisa ESCOBEDO or to make a forcod march on Aguas Calientes, as some say, is not known; at all events, whatever might have been his intention, on the 1st of February he encountered ESCOBEDO at the hacienda ot San Jacinto, midway between Zacatecas and San Luis, and giving battle, he was in his turn surprised by the arrival of General TREVINO with a large force of Liberals. The re? sult, it is said, was that MTUAMON was almost an? nihilated. His trains wero captured, also 1500 prisoners, MIBAHON himself making a narrow es? cape. His army was completely routed. MTRA MON arrived at AguaB Calientes on the 1st of Feb? ruary. This defeat is considered fatal to the Imperialist cause; there is now nothing to hinder the Liberals from advancing upon the capital from every quarter. MATTMTT.TAN, it is thought, will endeavor to reach the sea shore, ere JUAREZ makes his triumphal entrance into the City of the Montazumas. These Eire tho reports. How much truth they contain we aro unable to state, as the news comes to us through channels not impartial. The Constitutional Amendment in Massa? chusetts. The question of accepting the proposed amend? ment to the Federal Constitution was submitted, it the opening of the session of the Massachusetts Legislature, to a special committee of that body. The majority of this committee report against the amendment. They say, at the outset, that "it is not enongh for a Massachusetts Legislature that Dther States have ratified a proposed amendment, Massachusetts can afford to stand alone apon her convictions, bat she cannot afford to follow the multitude to do evil.' " They say that tho decision of the Supreme Court 18 to what or who was a citizen concludes the point uite as authoritatively as an amendment could o; indeed, probably more conclusively; for there is reason to lear that, it this matter should come before the present Supreme Court as a new ques? tion under this amendment, there would be dan? cer of an adverse decision. The definition, too, of 3itizenship "of the State wherein they reside," is af no effect, as none of the provisions of the amend? ment profess to apply to persons as citizens of a 3tate. Further, the maiority are not aware that there has been any decision, or that there is any agreement among legal authorities, as to what jonstitutes citizenship of a State apart from citi? zenship of the United States. They urge, farther, that conquered rebels have forfeited every right; not one has the right to life, if his living woula endanger the public safety; still less has he the right to property with the same reservation; almost infinitely less has he the right bo political power, when that power is the moet potential element of danger. The madness Of shivery and thc providence of God have given to our government the golden opportunity to elimi? nate this oligarchial feature from our institutions, and to make this a union of homogeneous States; this second section relinquishes this great power, rehabil. tates thr* Southern oligarchy and gives aew life to this fruitful Booree of all our woes. The effect of the amendment on Massachusetts is also discussed. The majori ?y say that the re? presentation of the State will bo considerably re? duced. As to the exclusion of tho prominent .Southern rebels, they urge that "the experience >f tho war has shown that the bitterest haters of .he North, the most brutal butchers of prisoners md of Southern loyalists, are the men who never acid offices referred to, and these are the men, without experience in affairs, without the educa? tion which a. -ociation with citizens of other Bec? kons of the o. jitry gives to public men, without 2 von the humanizing influences which war exerts apon the true soldier-the guerillas and bush? whackers, with hands dripping with the blood of oyal men and worn on-th^se are the men to whom .he amendment opens thc- loora of Congress J' ' The report concludes : "Let it be borne in mind that in considering the meration of this amendment we must throw out iU tho recent legislation of Congress in the direo :ion of giving the elective franchise to colored citi? zens. This legislation is entirely independent of his amendment, and if held valid it will be so ?eld equally, who .her the amor dment is ratified or rejected. It seems hardly possible to conceive a rreater act of fatuity than this of placing it in the lower of rebels to exclude half a million loyal rotors from all voice in the reconstruction of those States. We do nob speak of it as partisans. Viewed thus, it would be simple madness and po itical suicide ; but we speak as patriots, and as luch wo have tho right to demand that no plan of ?econstruction shall be sanctioned which does not lecure the full exercise of the only power which ?an be expected to found commonwealtns truly oyal to a federal republican government. In re dewing the whole subject, the committee are irought to the conclusion that no exigency exists equiriug immediate action upon an amendment men to the grave objections we have presented, rhey therefore recommend that tho subject be re errcd to tho next general court." rhe Captured and Abandoned Property in the South. A Washington dispatch, says: It appears from ; letter of the Secretary of the Treasury submitted 0 the House of Representatives to-day by the ?residcnt, in answer to a resolution with regard to :aptured and abandoned property in the rebel States, that the gross proceeds of the sales of cob? on amounted to nearly $29,500,000, and the gross u'ocecds of the sale of miscellaneous property to il,785,561 ; tho amount of rents of abandoned pro )er tv is nearly haifa mil lion ; obher recoip ts $2,306, )00, making the total receipts $34,053,000. The total disbursements were $9,810,787, making 1 ..ot profit to the United States of nearly $25, 100,000. Tho receipts in coin were $6,630,000 and ;he remainder in currency. In most of the agen? cies the property collected was principally shipped a Simeon Draper, cotton agent at New York, for ?ale, and tho disbursements were mostly paid from j th er sources, so that the receipts and disburse nents stated in the table are no indication of the real results of the transactions of an agenoy. The number of bales of cotton collected as abandoned tvas 11,180, and the number of bales released to owners 1907. Tho number of bales of cotton sold was 9273; the number of bales collected as captured 151,845; the number of bales received by Mr. Simeon Draper from other sources, 4542. It further appears from the documents that the number of bales stolen Erom agents is 144, and tho number burned while in the hands of agents, 1697. The number of bales received by Simeon Draper, per his reports, was 95,840; the number shipped to him, per "agents re Eorts, 91,298, making an excess of 4542. The mim? er sold by Simeon Draper waa 9260; the number released by bim, 2782; the number of bales on band, 431, maldng a total of 95,840. From the report of cotton purchased by agents under the act of July 8,1864, is taken the following: Number of bales of cotton purchased 53,838 ; resold 48,339;-lost in repacking 1 ; shipped to Simeon Draper 5388 ; shipped to cotton agent at St. Louis 110. A report from tho Quartermaster-General shows that, in pursuance of instructions, Colonel Ransom took charge of tho captured cotton at ?Savannah and Charleston, and turned over to the treasury agents up to March 21, 18G5, upwards of 38,000 bales, and it appears from the statement that there was b.'.t little cotton remaining in the hands of tho officers of the quartermaster's department at the doge of tho war, and but very little roceived after? wards. Twelve hundred and seven bales were derived from cotton collected from the batteries, bridges, trenches, hospitals, camps, fields, etc., in and around the works of Port Hudson by negro troops and contrabands. Much of it was in bad condition, having been buried in the earth, used for beds, and some of it was stained with tho blood of our soldiers mutilated in the siege of Port Hudson. Ono hundred thousand dollars of the proceeds of this cotton was applied in the quartermaster's de? partment, not heroin specially mentioned. The proceeds of this cotton maybe said to have covered all tho expenses of the schools for tho poor and colored people in Louisiana up to 1865, and possi? bly through that year. There; was a lot of four hundred and four bales of cotton from the Brazos, captured by the enter? prise of thc troops on the Rio Grando, and several hundred miles from the fields where it was grown, which cotton was sold by the direction of the commander of the Department of the Gulf to assist in paying for the steamers and vessels lost in the expedition to Brazos Santiago and the Rio Grande. There was mach more captured there and sold. Colonel Holabird, who had the matter in charge, says most of tho cotton and other products gath? ered was off tho Atchafalay River, in 1803, and was so gathered and delivered at points of trans? portation by the negro slaves of the country, who, with raro tact and industry, used the teams of their masters, who had fled the enemy, and brought it from all manner of hiding places in swamps and forests, as well as from the planta? tions of their masters. They seemed to be im? pressed with the belief that they were thus doing tho government some service, and earning their transportation to freedom. It was owing to their efforts that it could bo thus moved in the midst of rapid operations without any real attention being given to the subject. C., TUESDAY MORNIN?

AS THE AGENT FOR THE ABOVE MANURE, I last year submitted to Professor Shepard, of the South Carolina Medical College, a templo for analysis, and, with his endorsement, recommended it to my plant? ing friends. I am now pleased to say that their practical experience folly confirms the Professor's opinion of its value as a manure. The best evidence that the results of its use on cot? ton last year were satisfactory lies in the fact that those who then used it are this year buying lt again, and in in? creased amounts. A cargo of BAUGH'S RAW-BONE PHOSPHATE Is now in transit for this port, and, in conformity with my uni? form rule, it w?l be sampled and analyzed by Professor Shepard upon arrival The manufacturers have, how? ever, placed in my hands an analysis of the cargo, made ! by Professor Williams, rf Philadelphia, which shows the standard of Jhe MANURE to be fully up to that of last season. Tho following is the report of Professor Williams, re? ferred to above: PHILADELPHIA, January 22,1867. Matre. Bough <? Sons : GENTLEMEN : I have analyzed the sample of your Su? per-Phosphate handed me some days since, and find it to be composed as follows: Moisture at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. 4.09 per cent Combined Organic Matter.23.14 per cent Yielding Ammonia.3.62 per cent Boee Phosphate of Lime.43.83 per cent Yielding Phosphoric Acid.19.62 per cent (Other ingredients not estimated.) The per. centage amount ot Ammonia is very much greater than that obtained from most Super-Phosphates I have examined, and this, in connection with the readi? ly soluble condition of th? Bone Phosphate when acted upon by weak acids-for instance, Carbonic Add-will account for the markedly ;avorable results which have been obtained from the application of your fertilizer.

Ratified in City Council, this 16th day of January, [h. e.] in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun? dred and sixty-six. P. G. GAILLARD, Mayor. By the Mayor. January 3 W.H. SMITH, Clerk of CoundL Invigorate the Responsible Organ. The stomach la the responsible organ of the system. If the digestion ls imperfect every member, every gland, every muscle, every nerve and fibre, is more or less out of order. AU the fluids are depraved. The brain is clouded. The spirits are depressed. All dyspeptics know this to be the truth. It Ia not however, half the truth. Columns would be requred to enumerate the pains and penalties of dyspepsia, nor could any pen do them jus? tice. Tens of thousands feel tkem; no man can describe them. Can they be prevented? Can they be relieved ? Can they be banished at once and forever ? UNQUESTIONABLY THEY CAN. No dyspeptic has ever taken HOSTETTEB'S STOMACH BITTERS in vain. Believe no one who says the complaint is Incurable. This greatvtgetable stomachic wfll eradicate it-is eradicating it in thousands of cases over which medical practitioners have shaken their heads ominously, saying: ''Nothing can be done." Tho faculty has its fallacies. One of them is that Indi? gestion is the most difficult of all the ordinary ailments of mankind to combat and subdue. This is a mistake. Nothing can be easier than to conquer lt if the true spe? cific be administered. This vegetable combination which has become famous throughout the civilized world as . HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is an antidote to the disease which has never been known to fail, and for? tunately it is everywhere procurable. If you with to fool with the dyspepsia, try the pharmacopoeia prescriptions. Ii you want to root it out and prevent its recurrence, take the Bitten daily. There is no discount on the testi? mony In its favor. TI there is a man or woman who has ever tried it for indigestion without being benefittcd, tho fact has not transpired. Universal, uncontradicted praise avouches its wonderful tonic virtues. For sale by DO WIE & MOISE, Druggists, No. 151 MEETING STREET, March 4 6 Opposites Charleston Hotel.
