out land, and planted it ta sweet potatoes,
mannriDg in the drill. Io 1868 he added to the
manure, and planted the same ta sweet and
Irish potatoes, boosing from it in November,
one hundred bushels of sweet and fifty bushels
of Irish potatoes. On tbe 23d of December
last, (after manuring and breaking well,) he
sowed upon it one and a half bushels of wheat,
from which he reaped fifty-seven dozen, on
the 17th of June last, which yielded thirty
bushels of clean wheat. The doctor thinks
five bushels were destroyed by a gang of pigs
before and after catting. This proves how
easily and even rapidly our waste Unis max be

EDGETTELU, August 25.-The excitement en?
gendered by the arrival of arms at Edenfield
has quieted down. Peace reigns in Warsaw,
and the constabulary are now undisputed mas?
ters of the situation. The "mo li ah" ara get
ting fat and Bleek and l?By on the public pap.
Eichelberger, the military coroner, and captain
general of the Philistines, it seems, has de?
clared a tru:e, and having already amassed a
small siced fortune, has gone, it is said, to the
springs, probably to recruit from tbe severo
effects of the campaign through which he has
i, nat passed. Before he left, great crowds of
negroes gatheied at tbe courthouse nearly
every Saturday, and frequently oftener; hat
since his departure scarcely a ripple has dis?
turbed the serenity of the politic*! waters. In
the meant ime, eight or nine l?tate constables,
with their horses, hare been kept here on
dat;, assis ted by about the same somber of
negroes-tbe; whole constitutum a guard for
the arma at the jail, and kept up at an expense
to the county of about fifteen hundred dollars
' per m out h. . The authority by which thia force
ia kept here is underwood to be the joint reso?
lution of the General Assembly authorising
the Governor to employ an armed force for the
preservation of the peace. But that resolution
only authorizes tbe employment of snob a
force "when in any county io the State it shall
become i m poss, ble to enforce the.laws and
heep the peace by the ordinary civil pro?
cesses." No 8uoh exigency eua te ju Edge
field, or has existed during the pr?sent,year at
least. The. relations between the raoes bavo
ne ver bee? more amicable, and the freedmen,
when not under tbe influence of demagogues
and incendiaries, have never worked better.
The presenoe of the arma at the courthouse,
land the "knot" of constables and negroes
guarding them, would now excite very little
comment, were it not for the tact that it is
taking fifteen hundred dollars a month out of
the taxpayer's pockets. But what matter to a
party whose sole purpose is spoliation and
plunder? Peace and good order in tbe State ia
entirely incompatible with the interesta of the
present adminiairation. They can only flourish
by incitiog the freedmen against the white
people of the county-by fomenting discord,
and stirring up tumult and disorder iu the
land.
John Woolley, the country treasurer, has
been for several weeks collecting the taxes.
He baa visited points in ail parts of tbe coun?
ty, unaccompanied by the constabulary. Not*
withstanding the tax gatherer is generally an
unwelcome visitor, and notwithstanding great
dissatisfaction exists amongst the people at
the one hundred and fifty per cent, added to
the assessments of property by tbe Equaliza?
tion Board, John has been allowed by wicked
Edgefield to complete his work in profoond
peace. The people, as a general role, are pay?
ing up promptly, the exceptions being occa?
sioned mainly by the scarcity of money at this
season of the year.. .A good many have ap?
plied, through the county auditor, to get the
assessment abated to the true value of the
property. This official has his office at Ham?
burg, and, outside of his immediate vicinity, it
ia not known what has been the fate of the ap?
plication s. It ie necessary in some instances
for persons to make a pilgrimage from-Ninety
six to Hamburg, a distance of fifty miles, in
order to learn the result.
The freedmen are virtually paying no taxes
at all. . There are four thousand and five hun?
dred negro voters ic Edgefield, and it is ex?
ceedingly doubtful whether they will pay five
hand red dollars poll tax. And yet these ne?
groes elect two whites and five negroes to rep?
resent thia county in the Legislature. One of
these whites has been living all this year in At?
lanta. Georgia. He was living there at the
se rsi on o* the Legislature, in December last,
but, nevertheless, he took his seat, and will,
doubtless, take it again at the next sitting.
By the terms of the constitution his seat is va?
cant, and the Speaker should issue his writ for
a new. election. Bn< thia, it seems, will not be
done.
The crops in aomo sections of the county, a
. few weeks ago, promised to be very flue.
Since that-time'A few' favored localities have
been blessed with partial showers, and are
still indulging io high expectation*; bot the
weather for a period of fifteen days was
iotensely bot, and tn some places very dry i
aod the cotton has baen throwing off the
squaresuntil it has nearly lost one-third of the
crop. On Sunday last, and since, we have bad
pretty good rains. Vegetation is somewhat
revived, but the heat is still oppressive and no
abated. BOXEES.

SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. I., August 24.-Sara?
toga, though filled aa usual with strangers,
does.not impress me as it did in ante beOum
times, when one could scarcely take a step
without meeting a Charleston face. Now you
caa travel around all day and may probably
meet one or two with whom yon are familiar.
The old Cy pi ess. Springs, BO well known,
seems to be losing its virtues. Tbe taste is
very difierent, and I find the "Hawthorn," now
I owned by the proprietors of Cypress Hall, by
far the best waters'. 1 have tasted and resorted
to t his spring in preferenc J to any others.
Yesterday, the event of the day was the
great trotting match between Lady Thorn and
"Mountain Boy." The day was lively, and the
grand stand crowded with the beauty and
fashion of Saratoga. Contrary to the expecta?
tions of the knowing ones, the favorite was
beaten, and your humble servant had to pay
two pair ol kid gloves for betting on the wrong
side.
Commodore Vanderbilt and his bride was
the observed of all observers. He is afine
specimen of the old gentleman, and they do
say he is over eighty; if he is, he hears his
years, well. He has a fine face, is perfectly
erect, and has an elastic'a tr o id as a young
'man of twenty. I won't tell yon hov many
millions the young lady mirries. Report says
, Vanderbilt is worth one hundred. Jost think
ofit. .
For the edification of. your lady readers, I
'will remark, the bride.was dressed quite plain?
ly, wearing a black silk, black bat with a bins
: gauze veil over her face-evidently attired not
to at track attention. She appeared qm te happy.
'She had scarcely taken her seat,'which was
near mme, when it was whispered, "there's the
bride," and hundreds of pairs of eyes were
.turned in the direction of Mrs. Vanderbilt,
many rising in their seats to get m glimpse.
! I am glad to know a Southern woman bas this
time been smarter than the Northern helles,
who have been anxious to secure so great a
prize.

PROSPECTS OF THE CROPS.
Reports Kee ri vee! at the De par ment Ot*
Agriculture ihr Present Month.
A Washington correspondent has made up au
interesting compilation from the August report
on the growing crops, received at the Depart?
ment of Agriculture. It appears tbat New J er
Bey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, in tbe East;
West Virginia, Kansas and Nebraska, in the
West, and Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Flor?
ida and Texas, in the South, aro the only States
which claim an average or more, in condition,
of the corn crop, as compared with the same
date last year, with a. slightly increased acre?
age ia New Jersey and Pennsylvania, six per
cent, increase in Nebraska and West Virginia,
thirty per cent, in Kansas, seven per cent, in
Texas, and ten per oent. in Florida; and a
somewhat decreased acreage. in Arkansas,
Lonisi ina and Delaware.
In the great corn-producing State of Illinois,
the average estimate of condition, in about
sixty counties, falls fully thirty per cent, below
last season at same date; Ina ana the second
State io production, puts the figures nearly as
low; Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota rate
twenty to thirty per cent, below; Iowa twenty
percent.; Missouri, Kent ocky and Tennessee
ten per cent. The New England States range
from ten to fifteen per cent, below; New Yon*
twenty to twenly-five per cent.; Maryland, Vir?
ginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and
Tennessee ten per cent.; and South Carolina
thirty per cent, below. Texas promises twenty
per cent, better yield than last year, with an
increased acreage as noted, and Kansas and
Arkansas ten per cent, better than last year.
In few of tue Urger States will tho increase
?of acreage make np for decrease in general
condition, while in several of the largest corn
!'rowing States the aoreage has been reduced
rom last year, owing to the very unfavorable
spring; henos it seems hardly possible that a
crop equalling that of last year can now be
made under the most favorable future, while
tbe indications tue that the yield of the season
will fall considerably below that of 1868.
Drought has done much damage in some sec?
tions, succeeding the excessive rains which
had previously retarded the growth of the
crop. Favorable weather henceforth, with hte
fall, may do much for the general yield; but a
short corn crop appears inevitable. Illinois
and Indiana produced about one-fourth of the
crop of the whole country last year, and now
threaten to reduce their product twenty-five to
thirty-five per cent. Ohio, Iowa, Missouri,
Kentucky and Tennessee, which raised one
third of the crop of 1868, promise a decreased
yield of ten to twenty per cent. The season,
which has been unpropitious for this great
national crop, has, however, p'oved favorable
to mo st others; and though the corn be cut
short, there most be abundance in the land.
INCREASED OOTTON CHOP.
While all the cotton States, exoept Georgia
and Florida, reported the condition of the cot?
ton crop in July as considerably below the
average of the crop of 1868 at correspoddlbg
date, nearly all now report an improvement
upon those estimates, and several of the more
important cotton regions report the condition
as better than in August of last year, the
weather havinir been generally propitious, and
the injury by tbe worm comparatively incon?
siderable, though there is no lack of apprehen?
sion of damage from the latter. Mississippi,
the largest producer of this staple, with au in?
crease of ten per cent, in aoreage, reports the
condition fully up to tbat of last season at that
date. Georgia, condition equal to last year,
with fifteen per cent, increase In acreage;
Louisiana, ten per cent, better ic condition,
and fifteen per cent, increase in acreage; Ar
kinsas and Texas report condition above
average, with twenty per cent, increase of
acreace io the former, and thirty per cent, in
the latter State; and Florida, condition above
average, with twenty-five per cent, iocroase ia
acreage.
On the other hand, North Carolina reports
the condition five to ten per cent, helot* last
year, though the increase of acreage, ten per
cent., balances the loss. Tennessee alone re?
ports decreased acreage, and also reports con?
dition ten per cent, below last year. Alabama,
with eight per coot, increase io acreage, places
the conditioo of the crop at ten per coot, below
that of last year. South Carolina makes the
worst showing, reporting the condition twen?
ty-five percent, below the crop of last year,
hot with an increase of seven to ten per cent,
io sci jage. In view of the oocertaioties of the
weather, aod the danger of damage by insects
to which the crop is subject, it is yet too ear?
ly to estimate the production of the year with
any degree of certainty; bot it is reasooable to
anticipate, with an average increase of acre?
age equal to fifteen per cent., a yield fully up
to the figures of 1868, which reached 2 500,000
balee, and there is noU?hg in the present
prospect to discourage the present expecta?
tion of a considerable increase, which can
alone be prevented by some signal disaster
from weather or destructive Insecte.
LABOE POTATO OBOP.
With quito a large increase in the area
planted in potatoes, tbis ci op promises a large?
ly increased yield over the product of last year.
New York and Pennsylvania, which produce
nearly if not quite one-third of the entire crop
of the country, report an increase of three to
five per cent, in acreage, witb an advance of
ten to twelve per cent, in general condition
and promise. Ohio reports six per cent, more
acreage, and abont fifteen per cent better in
condition; Illinois, ten per cent, better, and
ten per cent, more acreage; Indiana, a sligbt
increase in acreage, bnt ten per cent, advance
in condition; Iowa, ten to twelve per cent, in?
crease in acreage, and as much better in con?
dition; New Jersey, twelve par cent, larger
acreage, and condition fifteen per cent, above
last year; Alaine, Vermont, Michigan and Wis?
consin are tbe only States which report de?
creased acreage; and tbe crop, without un?
foreseen casualties, must be arge.
TOBACCO. -;
The tobacco crop is not producing so great a
yield as last year. Virginia, the largest pro?
ducer, reports the condition as ten to twelve
per oent. less promising than last year at the
same date, with a decrease of seven to ten per
cent, in acreage. North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky have put in an acreage six per
cent, larger than in 1868, but report the condi?
tion aa five to ten per cent, below last year.
Maryland and Indiana report an average acre?
age and prospect. Illinois and Ohio five to ten
per cent, decrease in acreage, and about five
per cent, decline in condition.
WHEAT.
The spring sown wheat is generally yielding
well, though in some sections it falls below an
average. In I linois the retorna indicate a pro?
duct thirty to forty per cent, below last year's
crop. In the Northwest, however, the yield ia
rep rted much better, as also in the New Eng?
land States, (and in northern New York, where
the spring varieties are grown. ? The results of
the wheat harvests, both fall and spring varie?
ties, though not yet estimated, were approxi?
mated, and will doubtless be found to con?
siderably exceed the yield of 1868. The spring
grain is not yet all garnered. Buckwheat ap?
pears promising everywhere, with abont an
average acreage.
Should the drought now prevading many
sections of the country long continue, the
growing crops may fall considerably below
present anticipations, but the probabilities
favor a generous general harvest for the year
1869.
THE LION OP MASSACHUSETTS. _
ADDRESS OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
A Broad and Stoat Platform.
At the D?mocratie 8tate Convention of Mas?
sachusetts, held at Worcester, on Tuesday
last, to nominate a State ticket, Ur. J. Q.
Adams, wbo beads the ticket for Governor,
made a lengthy address. The following ex?
tracts are sufficient to indicate the spirit of the
address:
As things actually stand to-day, what mea?
sures will best serve the general welfare ?
This, gentlemen, with great deference of
opinion, seems to me the only course open to
os. To act otherwise would resemble the wis?
dom or a general who, beaten in a battle
which he had joined, in order to cover certain
points, Bhould, after tho victorious passage of
his opponents, and occupation of the disputed
territory, rally his army anew, on the battle?
field, and tbero fight au imaginary foe, while
he leaves all behind bim to the unopposed pro?
gress ol his antagonist.
Let us leave such strati gists to bang off
their big guns lt empty woods and waste their
ammunition upon tho debris of battle-fields,
while we press on to assume a new position full
m the enemy's front, -wh -ro, when we have re?
stored om* fines and reunited our rinks, suc?
cessful battle may yet be fought and redeem?
ing vx-tory won. In this spirit we would say
to our former fellow-citizens in the excluded
provinces: "Come into the Union; atand not
upon the order of your coming, but come at
once; when you are in, and we can act as fel?
low-citizens once more, we will meet to?
gether and consult upon future measures."
ibis, gentlemen, in brief, is the spirit
wbioh, as it seems to me, should animate our
"action upon past issue:-; foi* the present and
the future are very important in these days,
and will allow us scant time eveu to celebrate
the funeral rites over our dead past. Eternal ac?
tivity is the price of party living, "nd the road
behind i9 strewn with caroasses of the factions
whicb could not see that in politics a dead prin?
ciple is a mere prejndice, nauseous to the peo?
ple. Vague declamation upon natural rights or
wrongs, whether white or black .female or other?
wise, no longer delights a people that is being
gradually taxed out of bouse and home. The
man wno finds it daily more difficult to find his
children bread, will relax his anguish that the
negro has a vote; the most passionate lover of
his colored kind may recognize a fellow-crea?
ture in a planter, it they both agree that tho
price of coal is an outrage, the duty on iron a
swindle, and tba tariff an abomination to be
abolished. In truth, it is high time that, after
some twenty years of a refreshing season for
tbe national sonl, we should take a short term
of attention to the public body-which needs
it badly enough.
I undertake to say that there is no nation in
the world which is taxed as we are taxed. No
wonder that the men who work for wages grow
desperate, as they decline in well being and es?
tate. No wonder that the air is full of strikes
and labor moveaients an i associations and de?
mands and protests of woilringmt n and women,
i hey aro in tho ns ht m their nnrest and up?
rising, although the practical measures pro?
posed as remedies are sometimes unconsider?
ed and unwise; for it is true that the system of
taxation they endure is not only onerous, but
practically operative in the interest of capitd
alone. It is true, as the very able and candid
commissioner of reven ue BJ ya and proves, that,
although the aggregate wealth of the country
is increasing, probably os rapidly as at any
former period, yet it does not follow that there
is the same increase in general prosperity.
The laborer, especially be wno has a large
family to support, is not as prosperous as he
was in 1850; his wages have not increased in
proportion to the increase in the cost of bis
living. There is, therefore, an inequality in
the distribution of our annual product whioh
we must refer to artificial causes, and he asks,
"Whence comes this unnatural distribution of
the results of labor?" And he tells you, and
not ho only, but every man who ever was sup?
posed to know anything abont political econo?
my will tell you, that it must be the result of
an enforced uso of unconvertible heaps of
paper money, which involves a most oppres?
sive tax, which falls heaviest on the laborer
and lightest upon the owner of capital. In
one significant sentence, he sums't- up; "The
rich become richer and the poor poorer."
ANOTHER NEGRO MOB IN GEORGIA.
The Greensboro' Herald gives the particulars
of the recent negro outrages in Hancock
County :
lt appears that on Saturday night, the H th
instant, a negro man, who was living on the
plantation of Mr. James Marchman, on or near
the dividing lino of Hancock and Greene Conn
tics, was murdered, by a party of unknown per?
sons in disguise, lt seems that the negroes
in the neighborhood became greatly ex?
cited, and supposing Mr. Marchman to
be implicated in the murder, a body of
thirty-five to forty organized themselves into
a regular armed company, on the night of the
18th ins'ant, and repaired to Mr. March
man's bouse. They surrounded the house
and, with horrid oaths and vows of ven?
geance, commenced an indiscriminate fire on
the premises, in which Mr. Marchman was se?
verely wounded. After keeping up the fire for
fifteen or twenty minutes, on the assurance of
Mrs. Marchman that they had killed her hus?
band, they left the premises uttering the most
bitter curs, a against the whites. So far as we
can learn, the negroes ma ie no effort at con?
cealment. Mr. Marchman made his escape in
disguise and soon procured assistancs. The
civil authorities acted promptly, and fifteen of
the party have been arrested and confined in
the jail at Sparta. They have made a full con?
fession abd given the names of all the parties
implicated. Floyd Moore, the leader ot the
gang, is yet at large.

A Tribute.
Friend after friend departs
Who baa notlo?t a friend?
lbs appall ng dispensation which has taken (rom
ns our valued friend Hr. JOHN Mc S \ V, a native ot
Blairgowrie, Scotland, aod for tbe last eighteen
years a resident of this ci ty, from the cae cte of sun?
stroke, ou toe 30th of July, in the 48th year of bia
age, ls so sad, ss sadden, and io overwhelming, our
crushed hearts can only offer a tribute cf deepest
Borrow, Submission to the decrees ot our Heaven ly
Father is at all times our duty; and faith in His
mercy can alone sustain ta in this great bereave?
ment He bad blessed us, sad our hearts was grate?
ful; Be has smitten us ts the carin, and we must
submit. Bnt a few abort months had elapsed since
the remato a ot bis lived wife were consigned to the
grave, when the relentless hand of Death was again
street ched out aad bears this useful friend away,
to rest beside the lost one. where they now rest in
peace in the churchyard. The protracted Ufa of |
this friend was filled np with ruefulness and dory,
and many will feel and mourn bia departure from
earth. Bis generous liberality waa shired by many,
and death found him in the discharge ol all hit life's
duties. Aa the earth unveiled her bosom te receive
sli that was mortal of our lost friend, it was s mel*
ancholy satisfaction to us to recollect the many no?
ble impulses, the generous instincts std lofty stand
ard of genuine honor by which our friend bad been
diatinauisbed. His genial smile-that cordial greet?
ing, wbtola al wm y s made rou feel its warmth aDd hon?
esty-Were but iba effluences of a heart "kindly af?
fectionate to all," delighting m offices of g xxl. Per?
haps no man was ever more truly hospitable. His
was the hospitality of the heart, as exuberant in its
manifestation in adversity as in prosperity-lt waa Ihe
overtowingof a nature abounding in kindly atlee
tlons; giving the richest zest, sad imbuing tha. |
wotthy recipient as be went from his roof with peace
and good will; it was only congruous to such a na?
ture that the atmosphere of borne should be that in
wnlchlt found its exercises and highest delights.
And how pre-eminently so was this with brm. Bis
pr?senos there wss always ss the gladdening .sun?
shine, howsoever clouds and darkness might lower
without But sweet and predons will be the recol?
lections Of that true-hearted and benevolent friend,
sad maur WU long miss his ready hand; for he waa
ever ready to assist the needy snd help the dis?
tressed. But our sorrow is not without hope, though
grief has spread a pall and bMckness over our de
?ponding minds; and although his sudden death did
not permit him to leave any testimonial, yet we can
testify that not only ht? lite but his whole belief waa
in the merits of Chi lat's bio xl, snd leaves no doubt of |
hts having given his heart to the service of bl? Re?
deemer. His memory will lang live with those who
knew sad appreciated the true worth of s aiscere

Bad, stern reality, at lut
Whispers, thou art no more;
Death, relentless Death, bath claimed thee,
Far from thy native home.
Friends may proclaim thy generous worth;
May drop tbs tear of fond regret;
A loviog tribule-one that proves
Thy memory is ever fresh.
No selfish thought or jct unbind,
Could dwell In bosom pure Ute this;
Thy quiet, upright, consistent walk.
Lives ever green in our memories.

9- A REGULAR HABIT OF BODY LS
absolutely essential to physical health and clearness
of Intellect Nor is this all. Beauty of person can?
not co-exist with an unnatural condition of the bow?
els. A free paiaage of tbe refuse matter of the sys?
tem through these natural waste pipes is as neces?
sary to the purity of tho body as the free passage of
the offal of a city through ita sewers is necessary to
the health of its ir. habitant?.
Indigestion ls lbs primary cause of most of the
diseases of the discharging organs, and one of its
most common results is constipation. This com?
plaint, besidesbslng danjerona ia itself, ha* many
disagreeable concomitants-?uch as an unpleasant
breath, a sallow sain, contaminated b'ood and bile,
hemorrhoids, headache, loss of memory, and gene?
ral debility.

la not merely a stimulant, or a toole, or an antl-bil
lons asent, or a nervine, or a blood d?purent, or a
cathartic, but all these curative elements judlcitus

tivity and vigor to the inert and enervated stomach,
relieves the alimentar v canal of its obstructions, and
gives tone to tbe membrane which lines it, gently
stimulates the liver, braces the nerves, and cheers
the animal spirits. No other remedy possesses such
a variety of hygienlo virtues. Ic is to those charac?
teristics that it owes its prestige as a household me?
dicine. Experience bas proved that it ls as harm?

ANCE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPABTMENI
To the People of South Carolina:
The above Company was organ'zed In ia
cons?quence of the wholesale forfeiture of Soul
policies by Northern companies. The nnpartl
success of the enterprise has forced several of
companies to restore tbelr Sont' ern policies,
the fact that they could not operate in our 1
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build uj
Impoverished country-every dollar of pren
being safely invested in the State from which it 1
rived. The ina tit UUCD ts purely South ern, and h
shou'd appeal with great force to the patriotism
and sympathy of every Southern heart.
'Tis not our purpose to make war on other 1
ponies, but to exhibit the special advantages ofl
by thia purely Southern Company- founded
patriot!?m and solid wealth. Its ratio of assc
liabilities-the true test of a company's strengt!
second to none on thia continent, being nearly
to $100.
Whenever and "wherever we have presented
claims of tbie Company^ il "has not" only enliatei
sympathies of our people, but bas also secured
hearty co-operation. We have secured 603 pol
in South Carolina since the 10th of February,

SW SOLOMON'S BITTERS.-THIB PRE?
PARATION, compounded by one of our oldest and
moot esteemed diuggists, has, during the short time
in which it has been offered to the pnbUc, attained
a reputation which has almost entirely driven out of
market the various tonics sad stimulants which, for
a few mon'hs, by exorbitant pufflngand heavy ad?
vertising, succeeded in building a profitable busi?
ness for their projectors.
fco'omon's Bitters are not of the flashy style, de?
pending upon large advertising, bought puffs and
fictitious recommendations for a sale to a gullible
public. Their composition ls well known to sad ap?
proved by many of our best physicians, and the pro?
prietors depend upon tbe intrinsic merits of their
medicine to make lt as popular as lt is curative.
They do net pretend to offer a medicinal prepara?
tion that will cure all the ills that flesh is heir to,
but they do contend that the judicious use of these
Bitters will greatly alleviate human suffering, and
bring very many to a state of comparative health
who have long been strangers to that great blessing.
One good genuine recommendation of any pre
fessed curative is worth dozens or hundreds of
bought certificates, and the Messrs. SOLOMONS
have only published a few out of the hundreds of nn
so'iclted testimonies which the have received. We
this morning give a copy of a letter from Hon. ALIX.
H. STEPHENS, whose peculiarly enfeebled condition
for the past six months has been known to the whole
country. His few earnest words will go much fur?
