[ "CHIVALROUS AJTD SEMI-CHI
BOUS SOUTHKOXS."
The feeling most aroused by the i
Tinder thia title In Harper's ?Magazine it
of cariosity to lind ont the oharaote
occupation of this' Mr. J. W. DeForrest
writes sketch03 so interesting. We have
his name in connection with novel wr
and he informs ns here that "for fifteen m
he performed the duties of Bureau Ma
Greenville, 8. C." It seems to have be
fashionable among Northern scribbler
whatever connection, now returning fron
. South, to write "sketches. " One of these
gentlemen was appropriately and pleas
answered some time since by the "Charl
Mercury.'' Aa usual, he waa a scribbl
correspondent of some Northern paper,
must write "sketches." Be made repeal?
tempts to force himself into Charleston
ety, all of whici failed utterly. It was t
rent ly necessary, however, that sketch?.
Charleston sooiety should be written, and
were-the author having never seen whs
sketched.
The article before ns reminds ns very n
of tbie gentleman. The author comme
by enumerating the characteristics of
"chivalrous and semi-chivaorous Sontbrc
and e. mon g others, remarks that "they!
fewer of the virtues of modern sooiety."
are somewhat at a loss to fin J oat the prt
meaning of this phraeo "virtues of mo
society," as indeed we are at the word s
chivalrous. He explains that by ohival
and Fem,-chivalrous he does "not n
crackers, sand-bi.texs and other low-down?
and again he saja, "i speak of the gentry,
od nea tod, the socially influential, the e
which, before the war, governed the So
tim dasi, which may soon govern it aga
Ol the said class. we feel ourselves peofe
safe in Baying that Mr. DeF. knows notbin
ali, except, perhaps, either what he may I
learnt from his semi-chivalrous low-down
or as a looker OD, in official capacity. So
intercourse with them be could never have
joyed' While "Bareau Major;" nor, indeed,
any other capacity since the war. The pee
of the South have become too suspicions
the Northern "virtues of society," to mit
at all with its representatives.
Bot to return to these "virtues of mod
society." If by this phrase be points ont
happy attribute of the Yankee to be please*
an insult, ind highly delighted At the m
prospect of s blow, since he hopes alw
through its means to fill his pockets; if
means by virtues the still mon Christian ch
aoteriBtio of aooeptiog pay from the sedu
of ont's wife, and claiming one's rights o;
wheo the said pay re no longer for thc omi c
if, in abort, the gentleman refers to the inc:
rigible propensity of the Yankee to ignore
teriy all honesty br veracity wheo placed in i
scales against the "almighty dollar," we agi
with bim that the South is much more ti
from these virtues, and we hope utterly c
void of them. If this be virtue, we pray
Almighty God to be preserved from its inf
eoos.
The gentleman bas devoted a great deal
paper to ?description of what he calls tl
"pugnacities'' of the "chivalrous Southron
He says 'the weakest min by nature, tl
mau who, atine rrvrtti, ?auld uv"-xarne~ngi
than he would jump out of a second-stoi
window, will, st the South, resent an insult t
a blow, or, perhaps, a stab or pistol shot
Here be brings m as instances several stre
rows, bar-room rencontres, Ac, which, at tl
South, are confined,, to the low-downers ?
whom be speaks.
The Southron he sketches would notb
found here. He has mixed up strangely, tot
this pugnacity with self-respect, and, appt
rently, without understanding the differenc
We do not propose to explain it, nor to discus
the merits of duelling. Wo can only he'
again regret the necessity which compele Sorti
ern ere to Sketch society of which tb .y h. av
seen nothing. "The snperior civilis.?ion an
high ar culture at the North" hsve dune a wa
with duelling and takinz to smashing eac
other's noses and pulling oat e cb. other'
eyes in a genteel and artistic manner. Whet
such innocent little amusements arc enjoye
it is absurd to spaak of the outrageously bai
barons, custom of putting a weaker antagon?
on an equal footing wit h oneself. Io referenc
to duelling, however, it has evidently iieen tb
i a tent iou and desire of the author to draw som
horrible picture-something terrific-to at
tract tuet ttention of readers, and ba himsel
the hero who can escape through the might
dancers. He. sys: "The pugnacious custom
ot Southern sooiety explain in part the extra
ordinary courage which the Confederates dis
played during the rebellion. A man might a
well be shot doing soldierly se -vice at Bal
Bun or the .WilderneJfes go back to AbbeviUt
and be shot there m the duel or street ea
counter which awaited him. The bullet hoi
was a mere question of time; and why not opei
one's arms to it on the field of glory." Om
might suppose from this that all men at tb
South died by the bullet or bowie knife. Hot1
terrible it must have been to this gentiemai
himself to bein such constant expxtatioa of a
bullet among his ribs; and then in tb? end tc
be disappointed. ' To the eh ame of Greenville
belt spoken. "Oh ye brave who fight fer glory''
or the Freddraeu'a Burean,. I fear veracity is
Dot one of the '.virtues" of your "society."
'.Tit prove all his bloody assertions, however,
he mentions, as an instance, "a dignified old
planter who won m his youth, by dint of fre?
quent fights and quels, the sinnme of 'Tiger
Bill.' lu one famous encounter, this antique
worthy, disarmed, prostrate and jeld do VD,
doubled his legs over his adversary's back,
and rowelled, from loins to knees, with Span?
ish spurs." We should like to witness the
wrath ot the said dignified planter upon hear?
ing bis little "affaires d'honneur" described iu
these words. We can almost imagine him be?
fore ns expressing his desire that the author
had died at the Sooth, where all men die by
the same means.
It is needless to say that this is utterly
false. There is sn old saying that no falsifi?
cation is so injurious as that which bears the
appearance of truth. The "Carolinians of the
seacoast," upon whom he calls, will per?oive
directly that this assertion is one of that cha?
racter. But the gentleman proceeds, and ob?
serves that "the high-toned gentleman is not
civil to outside barbarians. He was not always
civil to our Congressmen in the old days when he
governed." Now, whether this be true or not,
it is very certain that his treatment of the
"outside barbarians" bad an eminently benefi?
cial effect upon their manners.
We doubt excee-Jingly whether Mr. Dickens'
encomium on the Senate, viz: "A dignified
and decorous body, and its proceedings con?
ducted with much gravity and order," would be
at all apphcible to that body at present. The
member from Massachusetts, who, in tbe old
day? of which the gentleman speaks, was con?
victed on the floor of Congress of wilful false?
hood, was literally frowned out of his seat by
Northern as well as Southern members, nor
did he dare to offer himself for re-el ec .ion. On
the other hand, it is but a few mrmtbB eince
Ben Butler, recently major-general in the TJoi
ted States army, and then member of tbe
Senate, was convicted of the same offence
under mnsh more aggravated crcum^tnacea,
and not only retains his seat, but IB re-elected
by an overwhelm ine majority.
. Ne ver before have* such scones been enacted on
the floor of Congress as have boen witnessed
there since the close "f tho war. li embers make
use of tbe most abusive language in connection
with each other's names, and to each other by
-name, without being called to order; honesty
and truth m then* intercourse with each other
are utterly disregarded, and- the accounts of
their proceedings remind us more of the rowe
in a brothel than the behavior we would ex?
pect from members of onr supremo legislative
body. Better would it be for the reputation of
onr statesmen had they the old "incivility" of
I the high-toned gentleman.
Of the "chivalrous Southron" as a class
in connection with polit.os, the gentleman
closes his article thus : "Hie day is passing;
io another generation bis material will begone;
the chivalrous Southron will be as dead as the
slavery which created bim.*
Of this the gentleman need not be uneasy.
In spite of the tyranny of the Radical party,
his superior character will jot govern the
South as of old, and there is yet within him a
feeling of contempt for the "virtues of North?
ern modern society " which will induce him to
clin? with still greater tenacity to his old cus?
toms. * fr:O?THEON.
DE XT OK THE WAE BATH
Another Polities! totter from Judge
Dent-Pungent Criticism of *eoretary
BoatWeU and Ula Political Coarse.
Judge Dent has written to Secretary Bout
well a pungent letter, ot which the following is
a copy :
WASBTHOTOH. D. C., Angnst 17.
To Hon, George S.. BoutvoeU, Secretary of the
Treasury: '.. rx
Sra-I shall rmko little apology for asking
your attention to my letter, and less for the
nature of its contents. You were the ttrst to
deny the poUtioai orthodoxy of my friends sn d
myself, and by all the rules of the forum I aw
entitled to a defence. Again, you hold an office
of the republic, and your acta, therefore, are
legitimate subjects or criticism by the hum?
blest citizen thereof. But in some respects We
are alike. For instance, we are both aspirants
for place, with this difference: You aim to be
j the next President, with every assurance of
success, "except" in the opinion of the people.
While I seek an humbler place, with my
hopes in disastrous eclipse, "except" in the
judgment of Mississippi, so in the probable re?
sults of the future we botb stand adverse to
tbe judgment of the country. In the pursuit
of your ambition yon are ungrateful and un?
scrupulous as to the means ot success. Your
organ, the New Fork Sun, in the same breath
ridicules the capacity of your master an i
dwells with emphasis upon your peculiar fit?
ness for his office. Your tool, Ur. Bullock, be?
came so reckless in tbe manipulation of your
department in the interest or your ambition,
and so defiant of the wishes of the President
and the country, that to save yourself from an
explosion of popular indignation you found it
convenient to transfer him to another sphere
of scandalous activity, where his talents might
be exerted with equal enact and less effrontery.
Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas
not to mention anything so humble as myself
were obstructions in the way of your success;
because through President Grant's interven?
tion in excluding the proscriptive clauses
from their organic law, these States arc
Sff^or^^^"' -
Now this is in direct conflict with your syste?
matized plans. For what tioneral Grant jets
in the ntxt presidential election, clearly Mr.
Bodtweli will not get, and therefore have you
denounced the conservative Republicans who
art for Grant. That you may obtain the pro?
scriptive Republicans who are for Bout well, and
by some strange, dexterous management and
occult political strategy you ir ve so worked
upon the confidence of the President as to
cause him to flourish the club with which you
intend to break bis head, hy inducing bim to
.join you in denunciation of the conservative
Republicans, a party created by his magnanim?
ity and triumphant through his encourage?
ment.
Bot, sir, "your purpose is easily discerni?
ble, and trae a two-fold object, namely, to de?
stroy the national Republican party in the
South, and then to reconstruct from the shat?
tered fragments a Boutwell party, with one
Richmond in the field to strike for your crown.
Bat if you cannot succeed in this scheme of
desperate enterprise, you mean lo ruin," a re?
sult, from present appearances, much more
likely to be reached.
Your official intervention for Wells, for in?
stance, gave thirty thousand majority for Wal?
ker. Your letter to Stokes gave Sunter Ten?
nessee by an overwhelming vote of seventy
thousand. Your marvellous political sagacity
now active in Mississippi and Texas will repeat
your calamity and spun overwhelm you with
discomfiture and defeat. Superadd to these
results ot your unapproachable folly the impo?
sition on these States of your iron-clad oatb
and the alienation is complete, landing them
all in the outstretched arms of Democracy.
But the consequences of your folly dues not
stop here-Ohio and Pennsylvania and othf rs
will follow. Decide their political s'atns in
October, and the North will echo back the
condemnation of the South, and peal in your
ears this fact, that there is still left enough of
the incorruptible virtue ot the republic to re?
buke von for a wanton repression of tba t most
sacred right-the elective franchise. But, sir,
this will not deter you from your mad course ;
you will still persist until every prop that sup?
ports oar party is stricken away, and the whole
grand superstructure tumbles about oar cars
in hopeless ruin.
When you were appointed Siva etar.v of the
Treasury and unanimously confirmed by a
Senate of every shade of political opinion, did
yon take on oath to administer your office im
uartiaily and for the exclusive objects of ita
creation-"To collect the revenue and control
the finances ot tbe country ?" Is not that office
tho property ?f tbe nation, and yourself only
clothed for a time with a little brief authority?
Then, sir, how do you explain this perversion
. of its legitimate uses and functions into a
means and instrument of oppression to force '
and compel an election of obnoxious rulers
upon the people of the South.
Is such a conree consisten t with your oath of
office, or do you call this a great moral idea ?
But, Mr, Boutwell, though you bare thus pros
t ?tuted the power ot your office for purposes of
oppression, "without the warrant of con?
science oieiaw," it may be that you can tell me
by what authority you assume to pronounce
upon my political orthodoxy. Who constitut?
ed you the infallible hope of Republicans ra ?
Who gave you the authority to hurl th'e polit?
ical anathemas of tba party? Atram, what
right bad you to com nit the administration to
your policy? Have you to learn yet that you
are only a part of the administration, and not
the whole of it? though your friends believo
that a monomania has seized your mind on
that subject, and that you verily believo jour
Belf "the State." Very respectfully.
Louis DE-sr.

THE CASE OF MAJOR PRATT.
HU Discharge for Want of Evidence
Unusual Attendance at Court-Pro?
ceedings Before the United States
Commissioner.
The case of John*H. Pratt, formerly a major
in the Confederate army, who was recently ar?
rested in New York on a charge or murder and
treason, alleged to bave been committed at Jef?
ferson, Texas, came to a conclusion on Monday,
as already stated in THE NEWS. Alluding to
this case, which has attracted an unusual
share of public attention, the New York Times
says :
lt was disposed of in a quiet and legal man?
ner, and without any of the turbulent scenes
wbich many persons cbnbc-fcored TOO ia occur
in consequence of the h vely excitement created
by the conflict of jarisdic?iqp between Marshal
Barlow and Jndge Mct'rnn. The examination
into the casa was conducted belora United
States Commissioner Osborn. H
Pratt made his entrance into the building
several minutes before the examination boga?,
and was attended by a company of Doited
8tates artillery. His friends, who gathered in'
oonsiderablo force, awaited bis arrival with
I groat expectation, seemingly ra neb concerned
for fear that be would be remacdedtcv thc cus?
tody of the Texas' authorities, in whose han B,
it was said, his life would be sacrificed as an
atonement for bis misdeeds. - A large number
of people were assembled in the street, boing
attracted under the supposition that some?
thing startling would take place between the
military and the sheriffs forces. After the
commisfloner bad taken bis seat and called
the case of the United States vi. Pratt, lhere
was a general eagerness manifested to see the
j prisoner, who wis brought in through a side
I door. He subsequently took a seat between
I General Cochrane and General Pryor, his
counsel.
Tho proceedings held before Commissioner
> Osborn were opened by Mr. Prior, who sa d
that he would not appear for the prisoner at
that tune, benanee ha bad been legally dis?
charged by Judge McCunn. Hs denied tbst
be had any intention of abandoning bis client's
cause so long as be had the po ?> er to invoke
justice. The commissioner claimed that the
8<ate courts had no right to interfere in the
case, and cited the decision of Chief Justice
Tat'ev tn tho case of A be'rn an vs. Booth, to
show he had jurisdiction over the prisoner.
District Attorney Pierre pout subsequents
made an address defending the action of tba
United Sta es authorities in holding Pratt
for examination. He said that the question
about the jurisdiction or the United
States bad already boen decided, lbe
debate commenced at Fort Sumter in 1861,
and was concluded at Appomattox Court
bouse in 1865. The argument was a rude
one, but it will never be repeated in our
time. The District Attorney represented that
the commissioner had precisely the same ju?
risdiction over tbe case as Judge Nelson would
have had if it had been oonducted before bim.
and that no ene could deprive bim of his juris?
diction. Ho said that Jurare MoCuun had a
right to issue a writ of habeas corpus, but that
he should have remanded the prisoner bark to
the commissioner on his discovering thar be
. was i nh m bands. He-said th at Go vernor. Hoff?
man had received a telegraphic dispatch from
the Governor of Texas, requesting him to re?
mand Pratt to his ons tody. After., reading a
dispatch from the Serretary of War, mention?
ing tbe facts connected with the crime alleged
arabist Pratt,the District Attorney;annoan?ed
that the government would produce such evi?
dence against Pratt as hod beoo placed in its
possession
Deputy Marshal Growly was then called, and
testified as to the mumer of Pratt's arrest. He
said that tbe defendant bad informed Mr.;
Tracy, the warden or Ludlow-atreet jaiL that
bis name was Pratt, and that he was from
Jefferson, Texas. This was tbe only witness
. rolaced by the prosecution. Itwasunder
ato jd that the Distnot Attorney bad a large
mass of documentary evidence, but that it was
not in proper shape to be introduced io the ex?
amination. The Dist nc. Attorney said that he
could prod nco witnesses who had beard the
testimony on the trial of tho parties implicated
with Pratt, and also papers relating to their
trial, but it could not be legal evidence. Tho
commission then gavo a decision discharging
the prisoner, on the ground that, judicially
considered, there was not sufficient legal evi- I
dence to hold bim.
The announcement was greeted with loud
cheers, the applause apparently being given
by Pratt's friends, who accompanied him on
bis way out of the building, cheering at short
intervals. Ic was reported that Pratt imme?
diately started on bis way to Canada, fearing
rearrest in case witnesses should bs brought
here from Texts.

A Washington letter, of Tuesday, to the Bal?
timore Gazette, says:
Although it wis very clear from the start
that the Co ?servatives in the narcoona:ructea
states (if they really placed any reliance upon
the a-surances of the President) were doomed
to bitter disappointment, still the Democratic
newspapers north of the Potomac very gene?
rally r e f ram ed from expressing a word ol dis ?
conragement after it had become o vide u t that
a vast majority of the people of that unfortu?
nate section of the country had determined
upon the desperate experiment of trusting to
Panic honor. Mor have the ill-natured flings
of such newspapers ss the Richmond Whig,
oven after it had been mado manifest that
Grant had deceived those who had confided in
him. been sufficient to induce the real friends
ot tho Strath io remind that people that "I
told you so" in the very beginning.
No one fully acquainted with the conversa?
tions and circumstances attending the accept?
ance, occupation and evacuation of tho War
Department (as acting secretary) by General
Grant, could nave been deceived by any of bis
assurances. Tho chief reason why I desiro
the return of ex-President Jobnsou to the Sen .
ate is, that this significant chapter in our na?
tional history may be ventilated officially and
iu detail, if not in tho emphatic language In
which it wai related to mo. 1 can, however,
vouch for an ilhmrative incident, not set down
in the bills of caufidential revelations. I saw
with my own nyes this modern Ciesar "plung?

to stand alongside of Andy, while Hon. Rev?
erdy Johnson presented tho famous Philadel?
phia resolutions of blesse 1 memory. I shall
bo borne out in my leoollections by the
ex-minister, when I say that no ono in this vast
assembly gave more decided nods of approba?
tion to tho salient points of his eloquent ar?
raignment of Radical rascalities than the gen?
eral of ah the armies of tho United States. But
Mr. Johnson may not, or ho may, know (but
whether or not the f ict can be proven by un?
questionable evidence,) that at that very
moment, and even before, General Grant was
in strict confidential political routions with
Wilson, of Massachusetts, and had entered into
a compact, the chief obligation on his part be?
ing tho betrayal of the man whose confidence
he was to acquire by such abject sycophantly.
The Virginia and other Southern newspa?
pers, who are iu the habit of copying these let?
ters, and yet oro sometimes puzzled to seo
how it can be known here tu a sworn enemy
to tho Administration what tho head of it wt?l
do in a given contingency, moy herein have
an inkling of the ground of the suspicion
which was at the first entertained in respect
to the final action of bis Excellency after bis
celebrated interview with Meesrs. Baldwin,
Stewart & Co.
A gentleman just hero from Richmond, who
is no fool, and being deeply and largely inter?
ested in telling the truth in thia matter, is no
liar (although ?.Radieil,) tolls a plaiu story:
Grant has given Canby a carte blanche; but
tbisntilitary upstart is deficient in tbe higher
regions of political metaphysics. His panacea
was the simple lejection of all members of tho
Legislature wuo "couldn't t-a-k-e t-b-e
o-a-t-hl'' Ho drawls these words out, I am
informed, as Titus Oites did "The P Ua a-f I"
Well after all, it is found that in the blunder?
ing deception of the President, he, too, was
grossly at fault. By the utmost atielch ofmili
tary power tbe two objects aimed at cannot be
accomplished-namely, the "^construction"
of the State upon Radical principles, and the
usurpation of all the offices 1 It se-ms (be
"Conserv?tives" who eau "take the oath" oie
necessary to form a quorum. Notring^wbat
ever con be done without them-not even the
passage, under compulsion, of the Fifteenth
amendment 1 The Virginians, conseqnent'y,
have it yet in their power to ward off a worse
blow than being still kept out of our glorious
Union.
i If anything could show moro plainly tho
charlatanry of the bead of the Treasury than
another, one would suppose it would be tbe
announcement that "there would be no more
reduction of the public debt for the present."
Onr financial system, then, ls so constituted
that it is liable to augmentation or diminution
by fits and starts at the bidding of the fiscal
prodigy from Massachusetts. By refusing to
Say accumulated indebtedness, Mr. Bontwell
as put outlying balance sheets. Since he bas
been in office he says he bas reduced the debt
forty millions, and at tbat rate his underlines
blate out that the reduction will be one hun

A very sharp robbery was committed at
Florence, one night last week. The robbers
entered the room ol Mr. Henry Withington.
while he and his wife were asleep, and took nts

ere en backs from bis pocket, and then broko
the lock on bis burean drawer and look a lot of

negro fellow who was lurking about the place,
started to arrest him. On being approached,
.the fellow a tarted to run, and Mr. Morns find?

The Kin zs tree Star says: "The robbery and
escape of the robbers mentioned m oar last
issue as having occured at this place, we are
gratified to say, has terminated in the arrest
ot tbe whole party. They were arrested the
next day at Effingham on the Northeastern
Railroad, by Joseph and Henry Blakely, as?
sisted by Conductor Moison. After commit?
ting the theft they immediately proceeded np
'the railroad, travelling on foot with great
rapidity until they reached Effingham. The
Blakelys, who are good on a cold trail, and
never fail on a hot one, made their circle and
.discovered that they had gone the way as above
stated. They followed them os far as Graham's
Crois Hoads, and there took the train in order
to get ahead of them. At Effingham they at?
tempted to get into the oars, when they were ar?
rested after a considerable skirmish, i i which
Joe'Blakely fired at one of them several times
before he would surrender. Sixty dollars were
found in their possessiou, some Of the bills of
which Mr. Staggers identified as soon as he
saw them. They are insolent villains, and made
threats, we understand, that if they ever re?
gained their liberty they would burn every
house in this village. The prison here is in?
secure and they have been sent to Charleston
forsafekeeping. They were recognized by
the officers there as old offenders, having Ire
?uently been lodged in prison there before,
heir real names are John Washington, Ro?
bert Jones. Robert Johnson and Henry Lifrage.
Great credit is due Messrs. T. J. K. Dargan,
Geo. Wi Arms, Joe and He orv Blakely for their
active efforts to arrest these desperadoes. We
have some pretty sharp bovs about this place,
and to elndo them is no easy task."
F?SHI?X??LB 'BATH?B? COSTUME
BOB LADIES.
A Princess is abont to repair to Dioppe on
her return from her estate. She bas convoked
before her departure from Paris an assembly
of all the reigning beauties of the great world
ol fashion-the co?odelles, whose caprice is the
only real power left-and she and all nave
determined to reject the horrible costume
hitherto worn for bathing in the sea, and to
substituto therefor another moro consistent
with elegance and grace.
"What need is there," said the Princess,
"to attire ns like mummies just dry from tbe
Pyramids or like packages bound in tarpaulin
to be sent by railway ?. Let us hivo something
better calculated to show the figure to advan?
tage, while remaining equally dec nt and
modest. We bare decided on forming a swim?
ming clnb, and as the uniform will bo of the
same shape and make for us all, let it bo made
to favor me in particular." The result we are
enabled to give. "Somitbing tight and short,
not lower than the knee, and clasping tho fig?
ure with equal grace and firmness-something
between the running co.?tumo of our French
jockeys and your English orizs fighters."
The club has boen organizo J already, to be
presided over by the Priucoas, and giving a
doiail of (he conditions of admission and cos?
tume; the latter lo bo composoJ of a "v?le?
ment'- o: stout white merino, closo fitting to
the shape, and bound at the knees with scarlet
ribbon, a scarlet sash round tbe waist, and a
scarlet niche round the neck; short sleeves,
looped with scarlet bows, and a casquette of
tho same material as tho '-v?lement, with a
scarlet peak. And so the Swimmiug Club ie
organized, and will be set to work as soon n?
the Princess return1;. Already hus a house
been secured at Dieppe, where the meetings
will bo bold, and already have the cocoJ.es of
Paris agreed to be present at the first trial of
skill to be made by tho fair memoers. Hus?
bands and brothers all look grave and glum at
tho prospect ot tho anticipate 1 ovation to be
bestowed on this occasion, but wo all know
how unjust aud tyrannical tlieso connec tiona
alwavs are in every country.

To the People of South Carolina:_
wu ol ?gale forfeiture of South cm
policies by Northern sompaniea. The unparalleled
success of the enterprise has forced several of these
companies to restore their Sont ern policies, from
the fact that they could not operate in our midst
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build np our
Impoverished country-every dollar of premium
being safely invested in the State from which it is de?
rived. The in s ut a tlc n is purely Southern, and hence
eton d appeal with great force to the patriotism and
and sympathy of every Southern heart.
'Tis lot our purpose to make war on other ?om
paules, but to exhibit the special advantages offered
by this purely Southern Company-founded on
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to
liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-is
second to none on this con ti ne at, being nearly 9300
to 9100.
Wnenevsr and wherever we have presented tbe
claims of this Company, it baa not only enlisted the
sympathies of our people, but bas also secared their
hearty co-operation. We have secured GOD policies
in South Carolina sines tho 10th of February. We
number among our Directors General Wade Hamp?
ton and Colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well
known to every citizen of Seuth Carolina. We ap?

MW LET US DISCUSS THE GREAT QUES?
TION.-What Ia tho most important of all earthly
blessings, In tne estimation of every intelligent hu?
man being ?
Clearly, it is Health; for soundness of body snd
mind ls essential to the enjoyment of all the other
good gifts of Providence.
How, then, chall those who possess this inestima?
ble treasure endeavor to preserve it, and how shall
those who have lost it seek to retrieve it ?
1 hess questions have bee a asked in all ages, but
never have they been as satisfactorily res ond-d to
as at the present day, and thc answers which com?
mon sen9e, enlightened by >e:euce and experience,
give to them in the Nineteenth century may be
briefly stated thus:
To protect the system against all influences that
tend to generate disease, there is nothing like invig?
oration.
To re-establish the health on a firm basis, when it
has been lost by Imprudence or any other cause, the
system must b* simultaneously strengthened, regn
Iated and purified.
These ends can only be attai&ed through the agen?
cy of a preparation which combines the attributes of
a tonic, a corrective, a blood d?purent, and an ape?
rient.
All these essentials are effectually blended in HOS
TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. They contain
nothing drastic, irritating ol inflammatory. The
juices and extracts of sanative herbs, roots and barks,
are their sole medicinal ingredients, and thes-j are
rendered diffusible by combination with the spiri?
tuous essence of rye. the purest of all alcoholic slim
usants.
Ibo weak and feeble, and especially those suffer?
ing I rom biliousness, indigestion and nervousness,
absolutely require the renovating aid of this power?
ful tome and alterative during the heated term, and
cannot prudently postpone its use for a single day.
