TIONS. WASHINGTON, November 30.-The following is General Grant's annual report as General of the armies of the United States : HDQRS. ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES, ) WASHINGTON, Norembsr 24. j To General J. M. Schofield Secretary of War: Sra : I have th* honor to submit the reports of division and department commanders for the past year. These' reports give a full account of the operations and services of the army for the past year, and I refer to them for details. I would earnestly renew my recommendation of last year that the control of the Int 'ans be referred to the War Dep rt m en t. I cab epecial attention to the recommendation of General Sherman on the subject. It has my earnest approval. It ie unnecessary that the arguments in favor of the transfer should be restated. The necessity for it becomes stronger and more evident every day while the Indian war continues. I do not deem any general legisla? tion for the reduction of the army advisable. The troops on the plains are all needed. Troops are still needed in the Southern States, and fimho r reduction can be mad* in the way al? ready used, and now in operation where it is safe,viz: by allowing companies to diminish by discharge, without being strengthened by recruits, and by stopping the appointments of second nontenants. If it should be deemed advisable, the veteran reserve regiments might be discontinued by absorption and retirement of the officers, and the discharge of the men, without detriment lo the service. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, ?. 8. GRANT, General. General Grant departed Northward to-day. The treasury agents seized in New Yoik, on Friday, thirty-five thousand yards of fine Lyons silks, and large quantities of French clocks. It is the largest seizure ever made in the United States, aggregating $70,000. Meade's report giros a detailed account of his operations. He wa3 applied to from all parts of the States, under his command, to re? more occupants from office and appoint others in their stead. He declined to make changes, except where neglect of duty was proved, or attempted obstruction of the Reconstruction acts. He refers to the anomalous condition of affairs, and suggests that more power be given to department commanders. The suit of John Naglee ts. Stanton, for in? jury to Naglee's farm, in Prince William County, Virginia, during the war, has bees dismissed with costa. Colfax has returned. None of the targets at Fortress Monroe were found equal to the heavy ordnance used dur? ing the recent experiments. The following narai promotions have been made : Captain Geo. F. Emmons to be Commodore; Commander R. F. Bonshaw to be Captain; Lieutenant-Commander B. W. Meade to be Commander. The Indian commission meet here this week. Should the Indian war continue, its cost next year is estimated at $50,900,000. Revenue to-day, $788,000. For the month, *9,500.000. Condensed Newa by Telegraph.

RICHMOND, November 30.-This morning, ia the United States Circuit Court, Robert Ould, counsel for Mr. Jefferson Davis, moved to quash the indictment against bim on the ground that tho fourteenth amendment pre? scribes the mode of punishing participants in the rebellion, which is disfranchisement, and no other punishment is prescribed.

C., November 29.-Mr. Reuben TomlicKon has sent io his resignation of the office of State Auditor, to which he had been appointed by the Governor. He assigns as a reason that his duties to his constituents as a member of the House of Representatives will require his whole time and attention. Mr. Tomlinson had just got the office in working order, and regret is expressed that he has deemed it requisite to resiga the position. The irrepressible Leslie arrived here last evening to claim his-seat, but was summoned away shortly after his arrival by a dispatch from New York announcing the serious illness of his mother. He left on the train for thc North this morning. During his brief stay he intimated to a gentleman that if the Senate would make the proper apology for its action in suspending him at the last session he would give it due consideration, and might be induce! to resume his seat. Some friend suggested that such a step was rather too much to expect from the Senate, and it would perhaps be better that the apology should come from the other side. It is gene? rally believed that the resolution of suspension will be NMfct?erL Judge Moses, I learn, goes to Washington the ensuing week and carries with him a peti? tion signed by al! tho members of the House of Representatives, except the Democrats, for , tho removal of his political disabilities. At a meeting of Republicans held Friday evening ill animosities between the Judge and some . arominent membcrB of the party wero buried, i ind the Juige seems to have no doubt of his seing able to qualify and take his scat as Chief ! Justic: in about a fortnight. The Board of State Canvassers has been in session here for several days, canvassing tho returns of the last State olectiou, and will probably announce tho result in a day or two. Tho Comptroller-General reports a large quantity of Confederate notes iu his office, which he recommends should bo destroyod. He reports the liabilities incurred during the war to be $2,722,315 8G, most of which ho says was in direct aid of the rebellion. He also gays $76,661 is due tho State by tax collectors and sheriffs, under the administration of tho State which ceased with the war. He also re? ports that, with tho view of obtaining some valuable information for the Legislature, ho addressed a circular to the several ban'..s of tho State, and had received a lepfyfrom most of them. They report themselves insolvent. Some ire in liquidation by the action of the courts, some are buying in their bills with their assets, at tho largest possible discount; while others are so dead as to bo porfootly inert. The contingent liability of the State, from ?he endowment of railroad bonds, is as follows: South Carolina Rai road Bonds, payable 1368, se.ured by first mortgage. $2,093,31i 10 Charleston and Savannah Railroad Bonds, payable in 1877, secured by first mortgage. 505,000 00 Northeastern Railroad Bonds, payable March 1, 1869, serured i>y first mort giso. 9-2,000 00 Lau' cns Lailroad Bands, payable 1879, secured by fl- st m J . tgage. 75,000 00 ipartanburg and Union Railroad Bonds, payable in 1878 and 1879, secured by first mortgage.J. 330,000 00 Grtenviile and Columbia R inroad Bonds, payable in 1831. 1882, 1883 and 188C. 945,471 21 Ninety-two thousand dollars on Northoaslern Railroad bonds falls due March 1,1869, loss than four months hence, but it is hoped that tho cor. pany will bo abl9 to provide for it, as their report exhibits a net earning of $97,684 56 for the past year. , The Comptroller-General says in case of fail- 1 are to redeem those bonds, which he thinks is not probable, it might be well to direct how the interests of the Stale may be protected. 1 Most of the companies are not paying the in- I ;erest falling due upon the bonds endorsed < jy the State, thus permitting a rapid increase )f their debt, which may entail financial ruin j ipon Ute corporations, and greatly embarras the State. He recommends the Legislature to 1 Ate tho necessary steps to compel the pay? ment of all interest past due upon these en- ! lorsements, and the punctual payment of the < jame iu future. '? Measures are being taken to secure the < sarliest assessments of property and the col? lection of taxes. Reports from some districts ; have excited an apprehension in the mind: of the officials that there wiil be some resistance bo the tax collectors. This fear and the dis? turbances that have occurred ia the up-country | is the reason given, and seriously urged by i lomo, for the introduction of a bUl to organize i militia force, not exceeding thirty thousand j mon. Ono section cf the bill, it is said, propo- i ses to authorize the Govornor to eulist men ' jutside of the State, who have served in the Federal army, possibly some of Sherman's | bummers, and to station them in such counties j is Edgefield, Abbeville and Newberry, the j inhabitants of which are to be specially taxed for their pay and support. It is proposed i tilso, in order to avoid tho constitution- 1 tional provision prohibiting any State from , keeping a standing army, to call them militia, i but to give them the same pay as soldiers of the United States army. It may beilba t this ] is all the me-e talk and bombast of a few of i the extremists, but I give it for what it is worth. A bill to organize the militia, it will j be remembered, passed the House of Repre- , sentatives ii: the last session, but failed for 1 want of time to be aoted upon in the'Seaate. ' Another proposition is to increase tho con- ? f iabulaxy force to such an extent as to be able to dispatch a sufficient force to any place, aod station them there until such time as their presence is shown to be unneoessaay. THE CONDITION OF THE STA TE. Message Of Governor ll K. Scott to the General Assembly of South Carolina. The following message from the Governor was read at noon yesterday before both Houses of the General Assembly: Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and of the House of Representatives : In accordance with the requisitions of the constitution to lay before you information of tho condition of the Stale, aud recommend to your consideration such measures as may be deemed necessary or expedient, I shall proceed to perform that duty as briefly as circumstan? ces will permit, postponing to a future oppor? tunity the discussion ot all questions not directly connected with tho administration of tho government. The interval since your last session has been so bri':f, and the details con? nected with the organization of the new branches of public service has occupied so much time and attention, as to leave but little opportunity for thc consid?ration of matters of a more general character, many of which were fully discussed in my Message at the special session. Pha act providing for the assessment and taxation of property has received consideraolo attention, and the organization of tho Audi? tor's Department baa progressed as rapidly as circumstances would perm.t. Great care and caution have been necessary in selecting tho officers to whom will be entrusted the execu? tion of the tax law; but it is believed that tho appointments made, and to be made, will give efficiencv and success to this important part of tho :.overnm9nt. 16hall lay before you, at the earliest practical period, the complete assess? ment of the property of the State, which will afford the necessary basis tor taxation. Tho estimato of tho Auditor for tho contin? gent fund may appear large, bub it should be remembered that tho Assessors' books, blauks and other forme for tho whole State aro to bo provided out of this fund, not only for the as? sessment which is about to b3 made, but for that which will have to be made previous to the convening ot the General Assembly in 1869. The organization of the Auditor's Depart? ment, and the successful completion of the first assessment of property, will involve a laroo amount of labor and soma unu?ual ex? penditures, but as the result aimed at is most desirable, I recommend that the Legislature will afford every lacihty for the accomplish? ment of the object. Bar reference to tho report of the Comp tro???r-General, it will be seen that tho eutire bonded debt of the Stato is $5,407.336 2?, c in? sisting as follows : Three per cent, stock, payable at tho pleasure of the State.* 38.83G CO S'x per cent fire loan, payaole In 1870.. 314.453 89 Six per cent stock new State House.... 1,775,000 00 Six per ceut stoJc and bonds, funded debt.,. 1,282.971 27 Five per cent, bonds, fire loan. 484,444 51 Six per cent bonds, Blue Midge Railroad. 1,000,000 00 Six per cent, borde, new State Capitol.. 611,000 00 Making a grand total of.$5,4C7.30G 27 Interest due on the entire debt July 1, 1868.$ 355,204 32 Interest due January 1, 1869. 169,214 38 Total interest.$ 614,418 70 This is not the interest on a capital dobt of $5,407,306 27, at six per oent. ; but the reason is obvious, as a portion of the debt is nt three per cent, and another port.on at iivo per cent. In addition to tho foregoing interest paving dobt, there is a floating debt of $160,000. in tho shape of Bills Receivable, authorized by tho Legislature, which arc available for taxes, and which will bo probably absorbod by application to that purpose duriusr tho present quarter, thus giving but littlo aid to the Treasury iu tho way of current funds. This is the last quarter of the collections for 1867, under the assess? ment by thc Military Commander, and it will leave tho eutire collections for 18G8 availablo for tho purposes ot the Treasury. They would bave been sooner collected, Lut for the difficul? ties attendant upon putting thc now tax law in operation, the collections undor which will commen?a in January next. Under the new law, bringing every class of property on the tax list, at its bona fide valua? tion, including much of what lia j boon hereto? fore exempted and a still larger a nount enter? ed at nominal value, at a moderato estimate, there will bo not les* than three hundred mil? lions of property os a basis of taxatio i. This, at a very low percentage, will afford abundant revenue to meet the current expenses of tuc State, the interest ou its funded debt, and .a considerable margin for the establishment of a sinking fund. In this connection I would iccommcnd that, a law ba passed providing for tho levying and collection of taxes in couuties to meet their local expenditures and tho solarles of their offi? cers. This will enable thom to make such im? provements in the way of roads, bridges and public buildings as thc taste and public spirit of the citizens may dictate, without drawiog from the public treasury monies to defray tho expenses of local impiovem mts, iu which tho citizens of tho State at large have no direct in? terest. The Comptroller's estimate of expenditures for the current year amouut to $489,798 13; ex? clusive of interest, $330,692 38, which includes that on a portion of the debt for the quarter ending October, 1809, making an aggregate of $819 290 51. In tho report of the Comptroller-General you will notice the items of what is considered an the vt ar debt of tho Stato, aggregating $2 722 315 86; aud of credits due tho State from sheriffs and tax collectors, amounting ia the aggregate tu $76,664 87, which lie recommends may bu muk ami dropped Irom tho accouuts of ibo ??talo. I would suggest that Hie chairman of the Committee on Finance of tilt? Senate? and tho chairman of the Com milter of Ways andMeaDs in tho House, ba associated with the Comptrol? ler in investigating and determining what claims originated from tho prosecution of tho war. I recommend to your consideration the pro? priety of passing a law for the funding of the interest on the State debt up to July 1,1868, to avoid the necessity of forcing the bonds of the gtate on the market at a sacrifice. I have every confidence iu the ability of the treasury to meet the future interest upon our debt as it becomes due. Tho following is a list of tho assets of tho State on thc 31st day of October, 1868: Shares in Northeastern Railroad Com? pany.$ 120,000 00 Shares tn Spartanburg and Union Rail? road Company. 250 000 00 Shares in Pendleton Railroad Compmy. 43,600 00 Shares in Greenville and Columbia Rail? road Company. 433,900 00 Shares in Blue Rids?

If tho holders ot ibo Fire Loan Bonds aro determined to pursue thc policy of disparaging the credit mid resouraes af the Stato, whoa it niu.-t be app?tent to them that no Slato of the Union is mo e sol? vent, or has a fairar prospect of promptly meetiDir her all liabilities, they should be com? pelled to carry on thiB lunation at their own BXpense. I have rea?on to believo that noi less than sixty thousand du.lois in gold has been squandered aod made away willi for sala? ries ot officers and agon ts who aro perform ug DO necessary duties, leas of attorneys who oro employed for the purpose of bringiag tat ar edi t of the Stat? into disrepute, and tor other objei of equally questionable propriety. The hold? of the Fire Loan Bonds should be placed the same footing as other creditors of the Sta and they should bo held accounts bio for damages tho State has sustained, or may si tain, by their unwarrantable litigation. I respectfully refer you to tho acompanyii report of the Superintendent of Education 1 the progress made in executing the act to pr vide for the temporary organization of the E ucational Department of the State. Much the difficulty attendant upon initiating tl n?w system has been overcome, and I ha reason to expoct that during tho session I w be enabled to transmit for fyour informatit euch statistics as will afford a basis for furthi legislation. The subject of Magistrates' Courts was trea ed at some length in my former message to tl General Assembly. I jtvould agaiu earnest call your attention to this important matte No discrimin?t on has heretofore been mac bet ween grand and petit larceny, nor has ar precise limit been fixed for tho guidance < courts in such cases. A wide latitude has ai cordingly been given to t: c discretion of Ma; istrates and Judges, and in consequent our jails are crowded with potty o fenders, at an enormous expense to th State. Indeed, it has been tho heaviest itei of charge upon thc treasury, t would reapec fully suggest that final jurisdiction be give to magistrates in all cases of petit larceny an simple craaolt and battery, and misdemeanor of similar grade; giving, however, tho accuse parties thc right of appeal. Also, I would rc commend the establishment of a fair an reasonable foo bill, as reports havo roache this offico of unreasonable and uniustifiabl exactions of magistrates and constables, fror tho poor md ignorant, in cases where, by little effort, tho mattors in dispute could h?v been amicably arranged. Casos have also bee brought to ray attention in which it is allege that prosecutions have been instituted fo malicious purposes, and executive interiereuc iuvoltcd as a remedy tor injustice. If thi looso and profligate administration of law 1 not checked 'and the offenders held to a etric accountability, the courts of justice, instead o being a shield and a protection, may becom an engino of oppression and wron.; to tia people. I transmit for your consideration the ropor of the Regei-ts of the Lunatic Asylum, for th year ending November 7. 1868, covering the re ports of Dr. J. Vf. Parkor, the Superintonden and Physician, and of John Waiues, Esq., tin Treasurer of tbo institution. Tho- report o the Superintendent shows that at the com mencement of the year thc number of patient! was 187; and that there was received during the year 82, making a total of 269; of this num ber ll have diod, 2 have been removed, ! ploped, and 50 have been discharged cured totnl 65; leaving in tho asylum, at present, 20 pa?. nts, of which 107 aro males, and 97 fe males. Paying patients, 52; paupers, 152 Tho report and accompanying tables exhibit t very favorable condition ot affairs; showinf that 61 per cent, of those admitted ha - e beer cured, while only 4 per Gent, of those undei treatment have diod. Among thoso recuivei were 25 colored persons, who wore with fev exceptions in groat destitution-three of thoa exhausted from disease and want of attention Four of their number died, ono elopod, ant thirteen were 6ont home cured; one, however relapsed, and of his own accord returned t< the asylum. For more than twenty years, colored person! have been admitted to the benefits of the inst i tuiion, and have enjoyed tho advantages afford cd, and such DB facilitated their euro and con tributed to their comfort, as is now the caso The Asylum tor the education of the Deaf anc Dumb and Blind wasieorganized in November 1866, at tho Cedar Spring Asylum, Spartanburj County, and was operated very success tully until theclese of tho fiscal year on tho ls: of October, 1867. Tho appropriation beint, then exhausted, the further exorcises of thc institution were suspended, and the pupils son to their rospectivo bornes. The location is ar admirable ouo, thc buildings large and com? modious, and to avoid their going to decay J concurra therecommendation heretofore mado that authority should bo granted to rent oi loase the buildings, so that ho may avail him self of any opportunity that may present itsel of securing a te?an', who will protect the prem? ises and keep them in necessary repair un ti. tho finan?a of the Sta;e shall justify the re? organization of thc institution. - The cond tiou and affaire of the Penitontiarj are now undergoing investigation, and when ' he gentlemen conducting it Lave submittci] their report I will tako au carly opportunity ol transmitting it for your information. Tho report of the'Faculty of tho University of South Carolina Ins been transmitted to the Trustees of the institution, now in session in this eily. Inasmuch as they havo referred it to a select committee for examination, and ae thero aro several questions of importance to the future welfare and prosperity of tho instf tutiou likely to bc brought und?r discussion, I have downed it advisable to await tho action ot tho Trustees, when 1 siiall make it tho subject ol a special communication. In obedience to tho joint resolution of tho Legislature, requesting tho Executive to "take such action as may he necessary for garriaou ing tho important tow.;s in thc State, I ontered into corrospond?uca with tho Commanding Goneral of tho Military Department, which re? sulted in stationing detachments of Fodoral troops at various p. inls whero disturbances woro apprehended. My thanks are due to Brigadier-General Bom turd, commanding the District, for his prompt attention to my sug? gestions, and his disposition to co-operate with thc civil authorities to tho fuil extent of his power in tho pr..s tvattun ot tuopoace.

Violations of law, aud outrages upon persons and property, have been perpe? trated by vicious and unprincipled men, with a recklessness and ferocity which, while they have brought affliction and anguish to tho bosoms of bereaved families and friands, have cast a shadow upon the fair fame of thc Com? monwealth, mortifying and painful to all who are jealous of her reputation, and which will require of you the prompt adoption of the most efficient measures for its ample ?indica? tion. Hon. James Martin, a representative in the General Assembly from the County of Abbe? ville, was murdered on tho fifth day of October last. Ho was on his way homeward from the courthouse, and was pursued by a gang of ruf? fians, bj whom he was assassinated in thc pub? lic highway. Mr. Martin was an intelligent and patriotic citizen, singularly mofle MS i ve in language and demeanor, and all the circum? stances connected with this outrage mark it as a cold-blooded assassination. Hon. B. F. Randolph, a senator from Orange? barg County, was assassinated at Hodges' Station, near Cokesbury, Abbeville County, on tho 16th of October. Mr. Randolph was on his way to address a meeting of his follow-citi zons, and upon the stopping of tho train, while on tho platform of thc car, was ass issinated by three ruffians, who had evidently been lying in wait for thc purpose ; and notwithstanding there were a number of persons present, includ? ing those connected with the train, the assas? sins were permitted to leisu cly mount their horses and escape. Mr. Randolph was a man of enlargod views, ot gre it force of character, and exercised aa extensive influence upon pub? lic sentiment. Notwithstanding that ho was studiously courteous and liberal in his inter? course with his fellow-men, the additional infamy, as in the case ot Mr. Martin, wus at? tempted, by sheer fabrications and falsehoods, to blacken his diameter and defame his mem? ory, as a palliation, if not justification, of his murder. Other instances of violence and out? rages of tho most revolting character in por? tions of Edgefield, Abbeville and Newberry Counties have been reported to this depart? ment, but prominence has been given to the assassinations of Messrs. Martin and Randolph because of their official position. Large re? wards have been offered for the apprehension of tboir murderers, some of whom are known to bo refugees and outlaws from adjoining 8tates, who availed themselves of the political excitement as a cloak for their schemes of ra? pine and murder; but such is the condition of society in their imme? diate neighborhoods that neither the promised rewards cor tho strenuous efforts of civil officers have accomplished their arrest. They are fully armed and mounted, and boast of the extent and power of their organization. And a somewhat prominent individual, who is himself under heavy bonds to answer the charge of complicity "in the murder of tho la? mented Randolph, has had the hardihood to publish an address to the Executive, threaten? ing still further outrages and additional vic? tims. As a discouraging evidence of the de? terioration of journalistic morals, it may be mentioned that this covert threat of assassina? tion has been published and republished with? out a word of censure or dissent. Thc turbulent condition of affairs in tho lo? calities to which I have called your attention cannot and must not be longer tolerated. A government unable to enforce its laws and pro? tect its citizeis is a mockery and a sham, meriting the scorn aud contempt of its oppo poncnts, and unworthy tho confidence and sup? port of its friends. It cannot administer jus lice through its courts, or collect its revenue by taxation. A remedy for these evils, which strike at the very foundation of tho State, should be promptly applied. Tho law must be made supreme. Tho moat arrogant must be taught toohey Us behests; the humblost as? sured of its protection. Tho general elections have pissed, and the political issues involved, which so fiercely agi? tated tho country, having boou determined tor a considerable period, it is devoutly to be hoped that the community may bc indulged in a much needed respite from tho passions and excitements to which it has so long boon sub? jected, aud that our people may bo enabled to turn their attention to tho development and improvement nf their material resources, which have been so sadly impaired and ne? glected. It gives me much pleasure to state that assurances have boen received, both pre? vious and subsequent to tho election, from many of thc most prominent mou of thc State, heretofore in activo opposition to the govern? ment, of their regret at tho occurrenco of these outrages, and their detestation for thoir authors, as well as of their determina? tion to yield a willing obedience to the con? stitution and laws, relying u on tho peaceful exercise of their rights at tho ballot box to romedy whalovor they may deem objectionable in thom. This determination has exerted, and cannot nut coutinuo to exert, a favorable iufln euce upon the prosperity of tho Stute-tran? quilizing its people, stimulating its industry, und giving character and credit to its enter? prises. Recognizing with pleasure those evi? dences of returning good feeling, and wishing to reciprocate every indication of an approach to friendly relations, I would reiterate the re? commendations of my last Message in favor of a liberal policy on tho part of tho Logislaturo in r?f?ren?a to tho removal of political disa? bilities. While upon tho subject of our past differ? ences, I would take occasion to express tho hopo th it na ional politics will occupy here? after a much less prominent position in thc affairs of tho Stato and in the minds of the people than heretofore. Political issues hav? ing been determined for years to come, at least, ihore ts but littlo propriety in keeping up political agnation. And especially do I regard secret political organizations dolrinuntal to tho community, if not entirely out of placo iu a free government. With overy facility and advantage of free discussion, carried fre? quently to tho vary extreme of license the shrinking from thc light of day to meet iu midnight conventicles would seem discredit? able to a people proud of their intellectual energy. Au armed organization, styling them? selves tho Ku-Klux-Klan, uniformod aud masked, by their secret meetings and midnight atrocities upon peaceable and unoffoiiding citizens, and obstructing thc laws, have inaugurated a reign of terror in many neighborhoods. Imitations of the secret societies ot' Europe during the middle ages, they are without their excuse of justification. In those days their power and their vengoance were directed against tho turbulent nobles aud barons who defied the laws aud oppressed the peop e. Their object was the attainment of justice, not the acquisition of politic.il power, i'heir victims wore not the law-abiding and the lo .vly, but the bold, bad men who trampled on right and outraged humanity. Their sym? bols were the dagger and the cord, fit embloms of their terrible authority and their mode of exercising it. But even in those days of rapi?o and murder, the responsibility of this danger? ous power was deemed so questionable aud hazardous as to lead to its suppression. In the present condition of our State, the existence or tormation of secret political socie? ties is greatly to be depreoated. They will bo objects of misgiving aud distrust, and centres of irritation and excitement. Secreay is but too frequently tho covert for crime, and irre? sponsibility an incentive to its pei pe trat ion. Organiz itions will beget counter organiza? tions, and dissensions and disturbances will bo fomented and perpetuated to the interrup? tion of the peace and prosperity of the neigh? borhood. I trust that every "well-wisher of peaco and progress will discountenance tho further continuation of these secret political cliques. trusting iu thc bencficont protection of tho Almighty Baler of the Universo, in whose hands are the destinies of nations, and who has vouchsafed us such abundant evidences of His loving kiudneffi, let us invoke His blessing on all our deliberations and proceedings, and to this end that they may bo guided and gov? erned by that wisdom, whose ways are ways of plcasantuess, and all her paths are peace. ROBERT K. SCO rf, Governor. Columbia, .November 27, 1838. T hc Salubrity of Aiken. A correspondent writes to the Now York Eveniog Post: Invalids now at Aiken, from Northern States, are m ne ii pleased with tko climate, and the accommodations aud fare of tho hotel. We uro happy to uotico this as thc expencnoo of many ai tho hotel aocomtnodatious at ?hosa 7>lac?s at tho South most irequented by inva? lids have not been altogether satisfactory. ibo cl.mate of aiken has proved so benefi? cial to tLoic suffaring from any affaction of the threat or lungs, oi from general debility, that a company bao been formed of eminent physi? cians to establish on an extensivo scale at Ai? ken a sanatorium. One of thc company, Dr. Raskwell, of Connecticut, is now on his way there to make preparations for the reception of invalids at an early day. The Kev. Mr. Cornish is also engaged in a similar enterprise for invalid clergymen. In addition to the benefits to be derived from the climate, ho designs setting his brethren of the clergy entirely at ease as to the rates of fare by making them welcome without any charge for board. Wo hope his benevolent design will meet with a liberal response from all who feel an interest in the welfare of the olergy. He has issued a pamphlet which contains much valuable information for invalids. In particular we would call attention to an article in it "On Climate in the Treatment of Pulmo? nary, Tuberculosis, &c. By Amory Coffin, M. D." The pamphlet may bs obtained gratis at the book store of Pott & Amery, Nos. 5 and 13 Cooper Union, or at Derby'd Athenoum, Broadway. The statements of Dr. Coffin with respect to the climate of Aiken are fully endorsed by Samuel Henry Dickson, M. D., Professor Prac? tico in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, formerly of tho South Carolina Medical Col? lege, and of the New York University. He says: 'Tam in the habit of expressing myself more strongly on thc subject than he has done, and have advised many patients to spend their winters there, and have seen nnmcrons in? stances of unequivocal benefit from its pure air and pleasant climate."

It is better to prevent than to repent. The most incle? ment season of tho year ls at hand, and its cold and damp aro the source of innumerable distressing ail? ments. The best means of escaping tbem is to keep tho outward surface of the body comfortably warm with suitable clothing, and the internal organs m u vigorous condition by tho occasional use of a health? ful tonic and corrective. Winter makes tremendous drafts upon the vital forces, and therefore it ls a f-ea-ou when a pure vegetable stimulant and invigo rant like HObTETT KR'S STOMACH BITTERS Is of infinire use, especially to thc weak and feeble.
