The Letter ott he Byron Solicitors, TO THE EDITOR OP THE LONDON TIMES. Sir-As the solicitors of the descendants and representatives of the late Lady Noel Byron, for whose family we bare acted for upwards ot half a century, we request your permission to publish in the columns of th3 Tunes the fol? lowing observations relative to an ar ti ole which bas just appeared in Macmillan's Maga? zine. Tbe article in question is entitled "The True Story of Lady Byron's Life," and Mrs. H. B. Stowe is announced to be the writer of it. Of the paper itself we should probably have abstained from taking any public notice i F it had appeared in a less respectable journal than Macmillan, or if even in this periodical the au? thoress bad been allowed to tell her story with? out editorial preface or comment. The editor of Macmillan, however, has not only admitted Mrs. Stowe's article, but he has prefixed to it a note in wtrcb he authoritatively proclaims to the world that "the paper on Lady Byron's life and relations to Lord Byron is the com? plete and authentio statement of the whole circumstances of that disastrous affair." Nay, more, "that this paper is, in fact, Lady Byron's own statement of the reasons which forced her to the separation which she so long resisted." Again, the editor states that the oontnbutiou of Mrs. Stowe supplies "evidence at once new and direct" on Lady Byron's history. We, as the family solicitors, beg most dis? tinctly to stat? that the article is not a "com? plete" or "anthentive statement" of the facts connected with tbe separation, that it cannot be regarded as Lady Byron's own statement, and that it doos not involve any direct evi? dence on Lady Byron's history. Instead ot direct evidence, Mrs. Stowe has nothing to communicate but ber recollection of a conversation thirteen years ago, and her impressions of a manuscript which she states that Lady Byron at that time gave her to pe? ruse, aod which, according to her own show? ing, she read under very great excitement. These circumstances probably account for sev? eral obvious errors into which Mrs. Stowe bas fallen, such as assigning two years instead of thirteen months as the period during which Lady Byron resided under the same roof with her husband, and similar ioaocnraoiea, to which, for the present purpose, it is unueces sarv to alinde. Without for a m nm en t conceding that Mrs. Stowe's narrative contains a complete account of Lady Byron's relations with ber husband, we must protest against it as being professed? ly-first, a most gross breach of the trust and confidence stated to have been reposed in her; second, as inconsistent with her own recom? mendation to Lady Byron; and, third, asan ignorant violation (at least we shall, in chari? ty, suppose Mrs. Stowe tobe ignorant) cf the express terms of Lady Byron's last will and testament. First, as relates to a breach of trust, Mrs. Stowe states that she was consulted in an in? terview which, to use her own words, "had almost the solemnity ot a deathbed," not as to whether she would undertake a redaction of Lady Byron's married history, but only as to the policy of publishing su; ti a history at all; secondly', Mrs. Stowe, on her own admission, returned to Lady Byron the brief memoran-4 dum paper which had been intrusted to her, .with (be statement of her opinion that "Lady Byron would be entirely* justifiable in leaving the truth to be disclosed nfter ber death, and recommended that all facts necessary should bo put in tho hands of some persona to be so published;" thiidly, Lady Byron did, by ber last will and testament, executed a few days only before her decease, bequeath to three persons as trustees all her manuscripts, to be by them first sealed up, afterward deposited in a bank in the name of such trustees, and she directed that no one else, however nearly connected with her, should, upon any plea whatsoever, be allowed to inspect such documents, which the trustees were alone to make use of as they might judge to be best for the interests of her grandchil? dren. Mrs. Stowe is not one of these three. Her paper is entirety gratuitous and unauthor? ized. It is, as we have said, not consistent with ber own counsel; it is an offence agaioBt Lady Byron's dying wishes, and the authoress has written in utter disregard of the feelings of those gtandchildren of whom she speaks in a vague, fulsome way, as "some of the best and noblest of mankind." The appearance of the volumes about Lord Byron by the Countess Guiccioli is alleged by Mrs. Stowe as the main reason which induced her to pnbl'sb her story; but if Lady Byion'e descendants, her personal and trusted friends in this country, suffer the slanders of the Countess Guiccioli to pass ancontradicted for, to nae Mrs. Stowe's own expression, of what value was the outcry of "the mistress" against the wife?-their silence should cer? tainly have lea Mrs. Stowe to hesitate before giving; to the world a statement which, how? ever it may affect the memories cf the dead, must' inevitably inflict much pain on the living. "Lady Byron's own statement" is in the pos? session of those who love her memory too well to make a rash use of it, and if tbe world is ever to lear a the true story of Lady Byron's life, it will learn it from them. It wjnld have been in better taste if Mrs. Stowe and the editor of Macmillan's Magazine had imitated the . 'religious silence" which the latter so much commends in the case of Lady Byron. Meanwhile, Lady Byron's descend? ants and representatives entirely and absolute? ly disclaim all countenance of Mrs. Stowe's article, which has been published without their privity or consent. We are, sir, your obedient servants, WHARTON & FORDS. No. 8 Lincoln's-iun-fields, September 1. ?LLL AROUT THE STATE. VIOLENCE IS 6PABTANBUBO - AS OUTRAGEOUS MTBDER. The Carolina Spartan hts the following par? agraphs : "On Monday ev< meg last, an altercation oe cm red bs tween Henry C. Alley and Monroe Burnett, of this place, which resulted in the shooting of the latter by the former in tbe foot. The wound is considered serious, sud may result fatally, though we trust not. Bur? nett was an employee of Mr. James A. Fowler, and regarded by bis employer as au honest, in? dustrious and peaceable man, and was favora? bly known by the citizens generally. Bat he voted the 'dry ticket' in the towo council election, and his astailan: wm the keeper ol a retail whiskey sbop, and by such votes as Bar? nett's has been driven to impersonate a certain Sbakesperian character who is said to have lost his occupation; and hence, we understand, originated tbe difficulty. Alley was at once arrested and required to answer at the next Court of (Jeueial Sessions iu a bond of $1000. "It is with feelings of the deepest regret that we record the first assassination which we remember to have disgrace'! tho aun?is of our peaceable and quiet town. Last night about 10 o'clock, two fiends m human form, fatally bent on doing tbe work of their master, the devil, with loaded guns, slipped up close to the person ot their unoffending and uoeus p?cttng victim, Frank Barnett, a freedman of our town, and discharged the leaden contents of the gan into his breast, killing him instant? ly. The assassins fled immediately. I hey were seen by some persons, who happened to be passing near the place, as they fled. Tbey were immediately pursued bat aided by tbe darknees, made good their escape. We under? stand the deceased voted tho 'dry ticket' with bis unfortunate brother, Monroe. "Mr. James Alley has been ai rested, bat wc" are not informed ol' the evidence against him." TOWN ELECTION TN SPABTANBURG- A BLOW AT THE WHISKEY TRADE. The Spartan says: "lh9 elecrion for inten? dant and tvo wardens of our town, to fill the vacancies causrd by the resignation of three of the late council, resulted in the election of Colonel John H. E'ins. intendant, and J. W. Carlisle and George Cofield wardens, by the handsome majc.ity of fifty-two votes. The whole town certainly has cause to congratu? late itself that its interests are to be entrusted to gentlemen whose acknowleged abil.iy and moral worth are a sursoient guarantee of a faithful and prosperous administration. And however hopeless may be the prospect of its realizitioD, the wish is irrepressible that everv office in our misruled and unhappy State was filled.with just such men. It will be needless, to state to those who know the gentlemen above named that the reign of dramshops in r-partanborg is at an end. The issue of "li cin8e" or "'no license" was fairly made, and the people have decided, by a strobg majority that whiskey drinking is an evil that should be suppressed, and Dot a luxury to be taxed.'' BPABIANBUBO AND THE A IB-LINE RAILROAD. The Spartan says: "The citizens of this place on Monday last voted unanimously to tax themselves tVie sum of fifty thousand dol? lars, for the purpose of securing; the location of the road through this place. We are satis ged that this is the proper route for tho road, and we are determined to have it here. If the sum proDOsed to be raised ia not inough, we will double it. Wo can, and must, and will have the road this way." BB A3 COTTON TN OCOKEE. The Walhalla Courier says: "We have been handed a section of a stalk of cotton taken from the farm of Mr. Frank Maxwell, of this county. Themain stem measures six inches ia length, from which four branches bave grown, the longest being only ten inches. From tip to tip across these branches the widest point will not exceed ODO foot. On this little section, taken, as it appears, from the top of a sta k of cotton, there is twenty-one grown bolls and thirteen small bolls and blossoms, makiDg thirty-four in a space the size of an ordinary hat. The original stock, we under? stand, was about five feet high and had been topped in August. The party handing it to ns did not koow the number of bolls on the whole stalk. It is i curiosity, and every person who has seen it says it beats anything they ever saw in the c itton line. The whole section will not exceed a cube ot ten inches. We challenge the State to beat it." CONDITIO*! OF THE CROPS IN SPARTANBUBG -A BLUE PROSPECT. The Spartan says : "We have recently made special inquiry concerning the crops of our district, and from the best information we can gain, we are driven to the conclusion that both the corn and cotton crops will fall very tar be? low tbe average. We have passed through some sections of the district lately, in which the upland corn, in fields of more than average fertility, cannot yield more than three or four bushels to tho acre; and the cotton, in fields of the same character, will prove almost an entire failure. In many cases it will not pay tho ex? pense of cultivation. We believe that the belts affected bv tho drought constitute the larger portion of this district, and extend? into the ad? joining districts west of this. Theie are oc? casional belts which, like oases in the desert, relieve the surrounding gloom and give promise of an abundant harvest. Bottom lands are generally very promising, and we trust that by an economical uso, and wise dis? tribution on the part of those who own these miniature Egypte, will enable our people to subsist through thc coming year without suffering. AN UNSUCCESSFUL HORSE THIEF. On the night of the 4th instant, a mule was stolen trom Mr. W. J. Stephenson, who lives four miles west of York ville. As soon as Mr. S. discovered bis loss be started in pursuit, fol? lowing the trail so closely that the thief was obliged to abandon the mule near Spartanburg village, where Mr. S. recovered it. Tho guilty party is one Pinckney Willis, whose homo is near Spartanburg Courthouse After stealing Mr. Stephenson's male, bo stoic another from his own father, on which ho made his escape wheo be abandoned his first prize. At lost ac? counts several persons were in chase of Willis, with a fair probability of capturing him. The culprit has just served out a term iu the peni? tentiary for stealing a horse and buggy. POPULATION OF YOBKVTLLE. Thc Enquirer publishes thc folloning cor? sas returns for the Town of Yorkville: White children from six to sixtson-males 98, fe? males 93; total 191.

The UnionvilJe Times says : "Amos Skeeter, of this place, was struck and ms tau tl y killed last night by a stranger who was passing the night in our town. Full particulars have not been received, but it seems the deceased mado a most wanton and unprovoked attack upon the stranger, while the latter was in bed natl nusrmed. The killing was entirely in self-de? fence, and the public, sentiment of the ontire community justifies the doed. Politics had nothing to do with the difficulty; and as the deceased" did not belong to the Radical party, it is not expected that Governor ticott will offer any reward. The deceased leaves exten? sive family connections in this county, but they are not at all dependent upon him for support. Bis life was not insured in ?ny of the ompanies doing business here." SHREDS OF STATS NEWS. The kitchen of Mr. Miles Lee, in Spartan? burg, was destroyed by ? re a few nights ago. There will be a po Mir meeting at Glenn Springs on the 18:h instant, io the interest of the Air Line Railroad. On the following Sat? urday one will be held, lor tho same purpose, at Paoolette. Bishop Davis preached in Spartanburg last Sunday to a large congregation, and adminis? tered the rite of confirmation to one candidate. Tho Bishop wan nuable, on account of ill health, to conclnd-' Iii lisconrae. On i?t' Saturday morning, while the train on the acing's Mountain Railroad was at McCon nellsville, Mr. John D. McConnell accidentally shot himself in the right hand so severely that it became necessary to amputate the second finger. laxes in Anderson County to the amount of over $46,000 have already been paid, which leaves a balance of $10,000 not yet collected. As most of this latter amount is b.tsed upon propel ty, nearly the entire earn will be collect? ed. As a general rule, the negroes havo paid promptly, and only a braal! proportion of the amount now due includes capitation tax. On Saturday night last the Gap Creek Bap tist Church, situated in the upper patt of Greenville Count v, tweoty-fonr milos from the courthouse, was burnt. It was a frame build? ing, and at present s i ppled by Rev. Michael E. Smith. The membership was small. Judge Orr ope ne 1 the Court of Sessions at Greenville on Monday, and the business of that side of the court was concluded on Tuesday afternoon. Hon. B. F. Perry, in the absence of the solicitor, represented ino State. GIRLS' BROTHERS. Their Hie and Abuse. [From the Temple Bar.J Tho man who thinks about marrying neces? sarily becomes a student of character, and spends a good proportion of his time iu that amiable pursuit. It may happen that he is quite unaccustomed to gu-ss at a woman's disposition from her manner, and speech, and conduct; and the chances aro that he gels con? siderably bewildered. If the girl or woman iu whom he is interested is at all complex in character or variable iu humor-and she is a miracle of a woman if she is not-be will form a dozen different estimates of her nature in as many weeks; and at last confess that, if he does marry ber, he must marry ber on trust. Just at this particular period a brother comes in handy. Blinded by the power of feminine eyes, or fascinated by that ideal appearance which every woman "on her trial" knows how to assume, thc doubting lover turns to his sweetheart's male relatives, and there studies the family character in tue rough. Here, in quiet gray light he may perceive all those traits of mind and habit which are either ob scuted or made attractive by tho lambent witchery of his mistress' presence. Not only have men less power of self-concealment than women, but they have, further, no object in assuming an ideal character in order to please tbeir sisters'suitors. Of course, it cannot be held absolutely certain that the dispositions of brother and sister will be in any degree alike. The contemplativo lover must choose out tho brother that is physically most like this particular sister-must cultivate his acquaintance and entrap bim into self revelation. If thiB brother be young, especial? ly, tho manner in which he will illustrate 8"eveial of his sister's peculiarities which have hitherto puzzled the lover is very 'singular. With the artlessness of youth, be will betray the weak points of the bringing-up, notions and temper of the whole IV rn; ly. He has neither the age, caution, wit nor wisdom of his sister; and obeys the caprice or vbim ot the momeut without any regard to the attentive scrutiny which is being directed upon him. With ingenuous garrulity he will let you into family secrete; and may give very different versions of stories which looked charming, or only comical, when they fell Irom the lips of bis more astute sister. It may be said that a man is acting unworthily intaking advantage of the youth's innocence to pry into family serrate; but everything is fair in marriage, and if nothing has been concea'ed nothiog can bo elicited by this indirect method ofcross-ex amiDation. If the girl is as amiable, and hono?t. ood good-tempered as she professes to b*; if she really holds those artless and beau tiful beliefs in human nature; if ber manner towards her parents and brothers and sisters be the same when visitors are absent as when they are present; if her interest in literature and the arts be not assumed; and if she is, in brief, an angel in disposition and a soundly cultivated woman in attainments, no study of the brother's character will destroy or alter one's regard for her. On the contrary, when ho sees all these good qualities displayed in their raw material-when the youth of ingen? uous pardor betrays the same on* attributes, a trifle less harmonized and polished, which his Bister exhibits, the lover f?els assured of the wisdom of his choice. He gota forward to the inevitable goal with courage sud hope. The period of hesitation is over, and rivals are bidden to beware. On the other hand, the brother may unwit? tingly tell tales of the most disastrous kind. One of the chief tests of a character is its re? gard for truth; and veracity is so much a mat? ter of habit-so much dependant on the edu? cation-that all the members of a family are likely to have notions on the subject more or less similar. Of coarse, we do not mean that intentional lying is likely to accrue from a cert lin kind ofbringing np, however much it may help towards it; bu', that a habit of utter? ing inaccurate statements-whether through a transient wish of making matters look pleas? ant to one's companion, or whether through a certain intellectual fascination for dramatic pointe, which misplaces what ia for what might be-is one of the commonest of human fail? ings. The brother will show you whether thst tendency bas been largely developed in the family. He has not the skill to be consis? tent io his innocent misrepresentations. To nleaso you, perhaps, he will profess an ardent admiration for some mutual acquaintance, and say how much that acquaintance is admired and liked by his (the brother's) family; and then, next day, having forgotten all about tho matter, he will call the acquaintance a tiresome old fool, whom his sisters detest. Another re? lated point on which he will yield mnch impor? tant information to the -anxious lover is the extent to which the family has been brought up ' for show"-whether tbat exceeding cour? tesy and perfect amiability of the sister is a natural or acquired product. He, too, it may be presume J, has been taught, if bis sister has been taught, that the cmof duty io Ufe is to look well in the estimation of friends, and be will display in the roost ingenious fashion the means which the family tra? ditions have thought requisite for that pur? pose. He will profess a love for intellectual and artistic pursuits which jon see he does not feel merely because it is right and poper that he should do so. If he bas been taught to assume sincerity as a virtue, be wtH betray the conflict between his own nat uro and the assumption. Flay with him at billiards, and in Ats and starts he will exhibit au astonish? ing candor in confessing to "flakes"-obvious? ly priding himself on bis honesty, and hoping that von admiro it; and the next minute you will fl'd him relapsing iuto his real self, and making statements about intended "cannons*' which are calculated to strike you with awe and wonder. Ia many similar directions, tho brother may bo led to give evidence up m fami? ly qualities, irrespective of those chance lights which you may obtain from his direct asser? tions. But the grand point, in which ho is an al? most infallible guide, is temper. Wc lu ow of fow more interesting amusements-even for those wbo oie long past tho age at which con? jugal results could hang upon tho pur.-uit than the noting of tho strange resemblances and differences between the family disposition as it is exhibited in a son, and the same as it is exhibited in a daughter. These minute shades of discrepancy, tempered by all the varying conditions of sex, age, and opportuni? ty, form a sort of physical kaleidoscope per petuilly offering new. combinations, and when it is your brother-in-law whom you aro regarding, the interest ie indefinitely increased, There is not a flt of querellons waywardness in the brother that does not beget a qualm in thc heart of the sister's suitor, and there is nothing which rejoices the latter so muoh as to observe a courageously considerate attitude in the temper and disposition! of thc boy or man. In toe c&eo vt w?o tnuttim mora mu aa petty feminine disguises to conceal tbe true state of affairs, and the lover rapidly forms an intimacy which is full of surprises to him. Anxiously does he inquire whether this his possible brother-in-law is always governed by the absolute indecision of judgment and way? ward temper which he sometimes exhibits. He looks with dismry upon the brother's peevish irritability, and is so shocked by his intractable and obstinate folly as scarcely to be able to re monstrate. Perhaps there are two or three brothers, all gifted with the irascible and child? ish temperament; and, perhaps, both father and mother are dangerous subjects to deal with, when the soup is cold or the dressmaker dilatory. With all these indications, it is possible that his faith in his own sweet friend should not be troubled. How, he asks bim?elf, could such a perfect flower have sprung up in this hot? house of angry passions? Angels do not con? sort with devils; and in such a pandemonium the appearance of an incongruous visitor pro? vokes suspicion. This y CUD g brother, for ex? ample, is the incarnation of bad temper, and even seems conscious of it. He confesses to having got into a rage about nothing, and having kept himself and Ins family on tenter? hooks during dinner simply through a flt of I sulkiness. If he getB a bad band at whist, he flings down tho cards in a passion, and coes off to Ins own room; if bo misses a favorito stroke at billiards, ho dashes his cue on the table, cuts the cloth, and sits dowu. morose and red-faoed. He makes no effort to control himself; and in these child? ish moods beware that you do not speak to bim of that sister in whom you aro intorcst.-d. He will te'l the truth about her, or, rather, he will tell whtt bis ungovernable pission, vent? ing itself upon every object of his conten:pil? lion, would have you to consider the truth. Itisasmall matter what the boy says; but it is a grave mailer that such ungovernable tem p -rs should be in a family. lnsmity, scrofula, dipsomania are not the only hereditary ail? ments which thc man who would marry has to guard against. Besides the disease of au in? flammable temper, there is that ot inconstancy of tho affections, which is os o'tea as not a purely physical defect. There aro persons whose affections aro inherently devoid cf permanence; to expect tbem to remain constant through any period o' absence or trial is to expect a blind man to see. Thoy are gfted or cursed with a facile and transitory nature, which natu? rally clings to the object nearest it, and yet does not cling pertinaciously. Half a doz? words, a Bingie look, a railway journey, an in? troduction-any one of tho ordinary incidents of life-may transfer the unsubstantial and treacherous regard of such persons to other objects. Nor can wo blame them. They are not necessarily voluntary agents. Tboir radi? cal weakness causes them to shift their uncer? tain love; and it would only be useless hvpocn ey, possibly attended with direful results, for them to pretend that it hal no: shifted. To assume the virtue of constancy is a crime, while to be honestly inconsistent is to accept one's misfortune. Hore, also, the brother ii invaluable. The lover watches him closely to pet coi vc whether he shows symptoms of that perpetual indeci? sion of the affections which has produced so many tragedies in domestic life. He regards this young man's flirtations with his sister's friends with a peculiar interest. The lover al? most fcelB that his own fate is dependent on the amouot ot honesty aud constancy which this youth evinces; and reads in tho actions and son lments of the boy thc horoscope of his own future. All this takes place when the lover is as yet undecided, and tho study is the most engaging and fascinating that he can find. Whether it ever possesses any practical results is quito another matter, because, as a rule, men who find their sweetheart's younger brothers interesting companions, have gone too far to draw back, whatever warning they may receive. A Lawns CmrtOES FOBTY DOLL?BS FOB CoLLEcnso Two CENTS. -A Washington letti r in thc Baltimore Sun says : lu the O.-pnaas' Court to-day Judge Purcell directed a citation to issue requiring a mem? ber of tho bar to appe ar and show cause why bis name sliou'd rot ho stricken from the roil ol attorneys for charging a fee of forty dollars for oohecnug two cents.

MARRIAGE LA W8. Strange Incongruities and Absurdities. Jost before the adjournment of the recent ses? sion of the British House of Commons-which was a very much overworked body, according to all accounts-a number of important sub? jects were postponed; among them that of the man ?age laws introduced by Sir Roundel] Pal? me'. An intelligent writer to the New York Times makes the following notice of this matter : The principle of religious equality, now prac? tically recognized for tbe first time three cen? turies after the Reformation, seems to require some sort of equality, and, if possible, unifor? mity, in the laws relating to marriage. The lawB, as they now exist, Sir Boundell may well call extraordinary. In England people are mar? ried by bans, or dispensed from them by license. In church marriages no registrar is required to be present: among non-conformists his attendance is requisite. The Quakers have a separate law all to themselves. If the place where the marriage is celebrated has not been properly consecrated, the marriage is invalid. It can only be performed within certain hours -never later than ll A. M. In Scotland there is marriage by simple consent ot the parties; marriages according to three or four different laws, acd irregular marriages, which make people liable to afine; but the payment of the fine legalizes the marriage, and this is a com? mon mode of procedure. In Ireland there is one law for Protestant churchmen, another for Presbyterians, and no law at all for Catholics, except a law of pains and penahties in certain cases. If a Roman Catholic priest should pre? sume to celebrate a marring? between a Roman Catholic and Protestant, or even between a Ro? man Catholic and a person who bad been a Protestant within a year of tho marriage, till comparatively a recent tim \ that was a capital offence, and even now it is a criminal offence of a very high order, aud the marriage ts abso? lutely void. Of the irregular Scottish mar? riages, Sir Roundall has tue!horror that might be expected in an English lawyer and church? man, and his description of them is technical and droll. He says : The system of irregular marriages in Scot? land is a very startling thing to those whose minds are not thoroughly accustomed to it. It ie contracted in two different ways. Sup? pose any gentleman in thia house visited a bouse in Scotland where a young lady happens to be staying, and that he and the young lady took a walk together, and in the course of the walk he took a piece of paper out of his pocket, on which they wrote down a mutual promise to marry; though the piece of paper might bc simply put back again into his pocket; though nothing might bo said to anybody about the writing; and though nobody else might be there at the time, if the persons afterwards lived in a certain way together, that would be a valid marriage, although nobody might know of the fact of tho marriage for years afterwards. No mere promise will constitute a marriage unless it bc in writing, and unless subs?quente copula, A promise so given and so followed constitutes a good marriage, how? ever long it may be kept secret. There is another even moro extraordinary mode, in which no writing at all is necessary; and that is wheru the promise is made not de futuro, but de present?- whore tho woman says 'I take you, John, for my husband,' and wilt re the man says, "I take you, Mary, for my wife,' be? fore witnesses. A promise of that kind being brought up at any future peno 1, even although thc people have never lived cogether, will bold good, aud will be sufficient to overturn any perfectly honorable and reputable marriage that either of the parties may have subsequent? ly entered into; and this actually occurred in the celebrated Dilrymple case. SEIZOBE OP THE LIZZIE BAKES.-We find tho following item in tho Jacksonville Union of Tuesday : th Wort a\iaeBtt^arfnalf^ se^?^y^Be^u?? Collector Greeley, on her arrival from Savan? nah last Saturday, charged with a violation of the internal revenue laws, in carrying un? stamped packages of hquor. A meper was placed on board, and she was permitted to proceed to Palatka to discharge her freight, returning Sunday evening. Yesterday morn? ing she wa4 turned over to the custody of Deputy Marshal Holland, who accepted bonds given by some of our citizens, in the sum of $100 OOO, to se:ure her return to this port on Saturday next, when bonds signed by Savan? nah bondsmen will probably be given for her forthcoming at the next term of the United States District Court. The penalty for the vio? lation with which she is charged is the forfeit? ure of the steamer. The steamer is owned in Savannah. Special notices. MW KEEP THE BODY IN GOOD REPAIR. It is much easier to keep the ?yetem in good condi? tion than to restore lt to that condition when shat? tered by disease. The "House of Life," like other housea, should be prompt'y propped up and sus? tained whenever it showa any sign of giving way. The first symptoms ol physical debility should be taken as a hint that a at i m ul ant is required. The next question ia, "what shall thc stimulant be?" A wholes, me vegetable tonic, the slimulatinr properties of which are modified by the juices and extracts of anti-febrile and laxative roitaand berba something which will regulate, soothe and purify, as well as invigorate-ia the medicine required by thc debilitated. There arc many preparations which are claimed to bo ot' this description, but HOSTET TEK'd Sl'OMACH BITTERS, the great vopetable preventive and restorative, that haa won its way to the confidence o? the public and the medical profes? sion, by a quarter of a century of unvarying aucceas, stands pre eminent ame ng thom all. To expatiate on its popularity would be to repeat a twice toll tale. It ia only necessary to consult the records of tho United S titos Revenua Dc.?art mont to learn that its consumption la greater than ttaat ol any other proprietary remedy of either native or foreign origin. As a mtsan* of sustaining the health and strength under a fiery temperature, the BITTERS have a paramount claim to ooisideration. It has tin effect ot fvrtilying and bracing the nervous and muscular systems against the ordinary consequences of sud? den and violent changes of temperature, and is, therefore, peculiarly useful at thia season, w'aen hot sunshine by day, and ice-cold dews by night, alter? nately heat and chill the blood of those who are ex posed to them. HOSTETTKB'a STOMACH BITTERS are sold in bottles only. To avoid being decslvod by couotcr feita, ace that the name of thc article is on the label, and embossed on the glass of the bottles, and our revenue stamp over the cork.

To the People of South Carolina: The above Company was orgtn zed in 1866,1 consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Souther policies by Northern companies'. The unparallele success of the enterprise has forced several of thet companies to restore their Southern policies, lroc the fact that they could not operate in our midi without the appearance of honesty. We keep all our money at home to build up ou impoverished country-every dollar of rremiut being safely invested In the State from which i t is dt rived.

Solomon's Bitters arc not of the flishy style, de? pending upon large advertising, bought puffs and fictitious recommendations for a sale to a gullible public. Their composition is well known to and ap? proved by many of our beat physician--, and the pro? prietors depend upon the intrinsic merits of tbfir medicine to make it as popular as it 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 gr<-a' blessing.
