CH A R LESTO ?. WEDii ESDAY MORNING, APRIL 14, 1869. The Memphis Commercial Convention This Convention, of which we have al? ready spoken, will assemble in Memphis on Tuesday, the 18th day of May next, the day designated by the Chamber of Commerce of tho city. One of the objectB of the con? vention, as set forth in the circular announc? ing it B meeting, is to secure the cordial and aotive oo operation of the people of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys in the effort to build up direct trade with Europe through South Atlantio seaports; not in a spirit of opposition to North Atlantio oities, but in that of a generous rivalry whioh will ce? ment all portions of the Union through the kindly influences of mutual interests and a general prosperity. Another object is to discuss tho necessity for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Paoifio Ocean, over a route unobstructed all the year. A third may be that of leveeing the Missis? sippi, BO as to save from inundation, and bring into speedy cultivation, the most pro? ductive ootton lands in the world. A fourth, the subj cot of immigration. To facilitate the deliberations of the con? vention the committee of the Memphis Chamber of Commerce suggest the follow? ing ratio of representation : That the Governor of each State and Territory will appoint a delegation, not ex? ceeding ten for the State at large and one for each. Congressional diatriot. That eaoh oity or town will appoint but two delegates for a population under five thousand, and one for each additional ten thousand. That ?aoh incorporated railroad, steam? boat, manufacturing or mining company, will appoint but two delegates. That eaoh Chamber of Commerce or Board ef Trade will appoint but one delegate for every one hundred members or fractional hundred. Every one appointed or specially invited, ia requested to notify the committee if he oan attend, and take with him some form of credential as a delegate. The objects of the convention are most important to this oity and State. In the effort to build np direct trade with Europe,.. in the construction of a Southern Paoifio Railroad, and in the subject of immigration, we are deeply interested; and it is not to be expeoted that, whatever our natural advan? tages, we can be represented by others as well as by those who know what we are, what we have done.and what we mean to do. In every Southern convention Charleston and South Carolina should be represented, and while we think that the soale of represen? tation suggested by the Memphis committee is likely to make the delegations too large and unwieldly, we have no doubt whatever as to the propriety of sending a.strong del? egation. And if in this aonneotion it be permitted to make a suggestion as to the character of delegates to be chosen, we would urge that gentlemen be soleoted who are familiar with the railroad and mari? time systems of South Carolina, who know what our strength is and where our weakness lies, and who will make themselves heard upon every topic connected with the com? merces, agriculture and manufactures of the 3outh. As much, we believe, depends upon the ability of our advocates, as upon the J tr eng th of their oause and ours. The Blue Ridge Railroad. The report of the Chief Engineer of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, published with the proceedings of the late meeting of stockholders, gives a satisfactory account of the condition of the work already done upon the road. During the long abandon? ment of the undertaking, the road has suf? fered but little, aside from the ordinary wasting of earthwork long exposed to the weather; while by the undermining of ma? sonry, the breaking of embankments by freshets, and,the falling of th? roofs of the tunnels, ,but little damage has been done. A remeasurement of the work required to oomplete tbe road is being made, and within a few weeks the exaot eost of finishing the line to Clayton and the North Carolina line, respectively, will be made known. The grand question now is how to obtain the money for building the road through? out. This is a subject to whioh the earnest attention of the directors has been given, it being determined at the meeting bf the stockholders held last week in this oity, to authorise and require them to execute the new mortgage bonds to be endorsed by the State, ?nd to advertise for bids to build the entire road from Walhalla to Knoxville, payment to be made in the fust mortgage bonds with the endorsement of the State of South Carolina. These bonds, te the extent of $2,000,000, form the available means of the company. They are endorsed bj this State, whioh is fully able to provide for every dollar of its liabilities/and Are a prac? tical evidence of the interest whioh is felt in the completion of the road. More than three million of dollars have already been spent, this large sum being valueless te the State, to the city and to the stockholders, until the line is run through to one of its oonneeting points. Ia their report, which was adopted by the stookholders, the committee to whom were referred the reports of the Directors ?nd Engineer, say: "It will be seen by "t%?se reports that the unfinished work "hitherto done noon the* lin? or??ead ls in "an excellent state of preservation, having < been originally mott faithfully deoe, sad 'having suffered but lml? injury from tho 'lapso of tim**. They will, consequently, 'ni uko it plain that tho work already done, 'having cost three millions and u half dol? lars in coin, and being now in a good 'state of preservation, constitutes, when 'united to tho ooat of oumplction, un un .doubted security under tho mortgage, for 'tho bonds to be now issued, limited in 'amount as they will be to tho Bum neces? sary to complete the work. And this in? dependently of the State guarantee." And tho Engineer iu hie report says : "If the contract oan be made without delay "with men of capital, exporienoe and energy, "little is h nz vrd il in tho prediotion, that "in Juno, 1871, there will bo direot railroad "communication between tho Tennessee "Valley and Charleston. Completed BO far, "it ls impossible that the enterprise should "stand still. Tho difficulties of the routo "would have been passed; the mountain "region, with the tunnels, the heavy earth? work, and the expensive structures, which "absorb capital, task the patience and teat "the skill, will be behind us, and from "thence to meet the line from Knoxville we "follow a route opened by the hand of na "ture, which has broken tho Alleghanies "before us, and given the road a olear path "to the rioh valley of East Tennessee." Now, then, is the time to press the Blue Ridge Railroad upon the attention of the grea> cities of the West. Never before has the publio mind, especially in Cinoinnati and Louisville, been so thoroughly aroused upon the subject, and no opportunity should be lost of obtaining the support and assist? ance which are required. President Har? rison has been indefatigable in his labors; but he oan do nothing moro without money and men. THK Washington dispatch published yes? terday, in regard to the Supreme Court, should have read that the court, held that Congress had the right to adopt measures of reconstruction.

J To tlio l'oo|>lo of tho Soutltcrn State? t WHEN THE rUUK MEDICINAL RESTORVUVI', now RO widely kno*n ne WOLFE'S SCHIETUM SCHNAPP-*, was in rofluced luto the world under tho endornomrnt of four thousand load u? momber* of Ibo medical protesslon some twenty year?', ago, its propnetor WBB well aware that lt could not wholly osoapo the penalty attached to all now anil useful preparations. H.-, therefore, endeavored to invest it with etronscpt possible safoiuiird against counter? feiters, anti to rondor all attempts to pirato it diOl cult and dmgerous. It was submitted to distin? guished chemists lor analysis, and pronounced by them ihr purest spirit evor manufactured. Its puri ty and properties having neon tbusasctrtained, sam? ples of tho article were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all tho leading practitioners in tbo United Statos, for purposes ot experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report ol the result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand ot the mest eminent medica! men lu tho Union promptly responded. Their opinion? of the article were unanimously favorable. Such preparation, they said, had Ions been wanted by th? protosston, ns no reliance could bc placod on the ordinary liquors of commerco, all of which were more or lesa adulterated, and therefore unlit for medical purposes. The peculiar ex ellenoe and strength of thc ol of Juniper, w?loh formed one of tho principal ingrediente of the schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic ele? ment, give it. in the estimation of the faculty, marked superiority over every other diffusive stimu? lant as a diuretic, tc nie and restorative. Theae satisfactory credentials from professional men of the highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of tbo guarantee* of its genuine? ness. Other precautions against iraud were false adoptod ; a patent waa obtained for the article, the label wa? copyrighted, a Jae simile of the proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each label aad cover, his name and that of the pr?paration were em? bossed en the bottles, and the corko were sealed with bis private seal. No article had ever been sold in thia country under the name of ScVhapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1801 ; and the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York during that year. It might be supposed by persona unacquainted with the daring character of the pirates who prey upou the reputation ot honorable merchants Ly vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that the pro? tections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded tue introductions and salo of counterfeits. Tbey seem, however, only to have stimulate? the rapacity of impostors. The trade mark ot th? proprietor baa been stolen; the Indorse? ment which his Schiedam Aromatio Schnapps alone re???!ved from the medical prolesslou has been calmed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have beon imitated, his advertisements para? phrased, bia circulara copied, and worse than all, dishonorable retailers, alter disposing of tbe genuine ooo ton ts of his bottles, have filled them up with common ghi, the meet deleterious of all liquors, and thus made hie name and br md a cover for poisou. Tho public, the medical profession and (he sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic schnapps is pre? scribed as a remedy, are equally interostei with the proprietor In tho detection and suppression of theae noiarious piacticcs. The genuine ai tide, manuiac tured at the establishment of the undersigned iu chledam, Holland, m distilled from a barley of tho finest quality, ?nd flavored with an essential extract cf the berry .of the Italian juniper, of unequalled pu? rity. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it le treed from every acrimoniona and corrodive element. Complaint? nave been received from the leading physicians and families tn the Southern States of the aale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps in those marketa; and travellers, who are in the habit ot using lt aa an antidote to the baneft??in?uenco of uuwholesoine river water, tes? tify tW^fchaip gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is t rc q ?en ti yN pol m ed off upon the unwary The ogonts cf the undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the sehjeot, and to forward to him the names of such parties aa they may ascer? tain to be engaged in tho atrocious system of decep? tion. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from under the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs un answerable of the purity and medicinal excel? lence of the Bchiedam Aromatie Schnapps ; that he has expended many thousand donara hi sur? rounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designedahould protect the public and himself against fraudulent imitations ; that be has shown it to be the only liquor in the world that can be uni? formly depended upon aa unadulterated ; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison and experiment m ail its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation whi h boars hie name, seal and trade mark, haa come off triumphant. He, therefore, feels lt a duty he owes to his tellow-citlsens generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to denounce and expose tho charlatans who counterfeit these evi? dencies of identity, and he cilia upon the press and the pubilo to aid him In hie efforts to remedy so greet an ovil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove to the reader that all gooda sold by the under oigne) are all that they are ie pre' en tod to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps aa being tn every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage.
