VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 1360. CHARLESTON, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1870. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. WASHINGTON. {PROM TUE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON, June 13. The revenue to-day ls over $1,000,000. The President has come back. It is reported that a negro succeeds De wees as member of Congress from North Caro? lina. Two negroes who were appointed to West Point have been rejected for physical and in? tellectual incapacity. The majority of the Senate sub-committee upon the Memphis and El Paso Railroad, made a report, concluding as follows: ''From the best examination that we have been able to make of the facts and the laws of Texas, our conclu? sions are that the Memphis and El Paso Rail? road Company ls an existing corporation, with the right of way across the State ol Texas, and that it has a valid land grant of sixteen sections to the mile, to be selected out of the public lands of Texas, without any special reservation." The Judiciary Committee bave postponed considering Wood's case until to-morrow. Bradley Johnson, of Richmond, has arrived as special counsel for Wood, who is held for an assault cn Congressman Porter. The Judici? ary Committee meet this evening to consider the case. Minister Thornton has received instructions to thank Grant for tne Interference of the gov? ernment in the Fenian raid. The dispatch ex presseSj?he hope that the Fenians will be pun? ished. It ls understood that the administra? tion will allow the courts to deal with the Fe? nians. Red Cbud holds that forts in his country only bronght mischief by whiskey, abuse of squaws, and other bad work. He gave assur? ances that the Sioux would not commence war. The Indians are mu;h depressed and dis? satisfied, and the councils held here do not en? courage hopes of a peaceful solution of the difficulty. At the final council, held to-day, Red* Cloud asked for seventeen horses to carry himself and his companions borne irom'the end of the railroad. Secretary Cox could not promise horses, but would give presents. Red Cloud replied, "He was not angry, but if horses were denied, he wanted no presents." He said, with aa expression of fortitude and de? fiance, that "be was born naked." Persons acquainted with Indian councils . and character, predict on early and serious In / dian war. SENATE. The Senate was engaged all day upon appor? tionment A vote will be reached to-night It*?s expected that the Senate will pass the . House bill without amendments. HOUSE. In the House, after the introduction of a number ol unimportant bills, Davis Introduced and moved the previous question on a bill to amend the naturalization law, providing for the punishment bf false: swearing In the appli? cant, and of false personation, and the use or possession of forged records or certificates, also giving United States Courts Jurisdiction in , all such offences. Under suspension of the mles, the bill passed by a strict porty vote. Stokes introduced a bili to remove ali po? litical disabilities'. It wis defeated by a large majority. The following Republicans voted to suspend the rules ic order to piss the general bill re? moving disabilities : Buckley, Dockery, Fitch, Pierce, Platt Sargent, Stokes-and-Tillman. The motion was defeated-yeas 59, nays 111. ? Butler moved that thu Georgia bill be taken . up, which was lost-120 to 38. The Blver and Harbor bill was passed and goes to the Senate. The Speaker laid before the House a mes? sage from the President, condemning the atro? cious manner ir. which the conflict in C aba is carried on by both sides, and representing that the object of the Cabans, who urge their re? cognition as belligerents, is to embroil the United States into a war with Spain. The President declares bis inability to see, in the the present condition of the contest In Cuba, tb.036 elements required to constitute lt a war fe the sense of international law. and invites the attention of Congress to all ot the rela? tions and bearings of the question in connec? tion with a declaration of the neutrality laws, and the granting of belligerent rights. The message having been read, Banks, the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Af? fairs, moved that it be laid on the table and printed. Judd, a member of that committee, suggested its reference to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Banks said that the question had been fully considered by that committee, which had made a report, that would come up to-morrow. ?ox remarked that the limita? tion of the President's right to make a com? munication to Congress was that he might, from time to time, give it information as to the state of the Union, but he regarded this message as an attack upon! the report made by the gentleman from Massachusetts, (Banks,) and lt should be as in the case of Andrew Johnson's message, laid on the table without reference to a committee. Banks said he lind not made the motion in the spirit in which Cox inferred it was; the usual course was to lay such messages on the table and have them printed. Dawes thought that after the remarks of the gentleman from Ohio, it would not be respectful to lay the messjfce on the table. Banks moved that the message be referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Cox moved to lay the message on the table.. Banks's last motion was adopted and the House adjourned. HUSOJfE.

POLITICS IN CO LEETON. The Reform Movement-Sensible Cry of the Colored People-The Carpet, baggers Alarmed-The Crops and The New?. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT:] WALTERBORO', S. C., June 8. Colleton is Just now a very uninteresting place. Idlers and quid nuncs would die of ennui were lt not for the amusement that they derive from watching the antics of the tad? poles that stir our political mud-puddle. The bugle blast of Reform in sweeping the State, has been heard even in hope-forsaken Col? leton; and its echoes have disturbed the quiet. uart complacent occupants of certain lucrative ?nices who have been indulging in the sweet but delusive dream that they held them In fee simple. Although rn? organized efforts have been made to co-operate with the Citizens' party, (for the attempt here would be hopeless) the more Intelligent and honest part of the colored peo? ple have, themselves, taken up the cry, '-Hon? est South Carolinians must rule South Caroli? na." lu this praiseworthy and unlooked for movement, they will have the hearty co-ope? ration of the whites; and we hope the mem? bers of the General Assembly for the next term will consist of men irreproachable in morals, and having the best interest of the whole people at heart. A particularly hungry swarm of the migra-i tory brood hatched out by reconstruction, set? tled into the fat ?nices of this county, that were lying around loose at the last election. They have kept two objects in view : one feathering well their nest-"layiug up something against a rainy day," they calli.: the other to widen the breach and stir up all the contention possi? ble between the whites and blacks, and thus insure their re-election. They have never lost sight of the first for a moment, os their fine plantations, their princely turnouts, and libe? ral display of "store clothes"-contrasting with our iresh recollection ot their evident iin pecunlosity when they alighted among us, at [ tenuated carpet-bag in hand-will incontestably prove. The vast majority and gullibility ot the col? ored vot?es, the apathy and indifference of the whites, have caused them at times to target the latter, or disregard the dictates of pru? dence; and their feelings of superiority were so illy dissembled, and their conduct smacked so much of official insolence, that their con? stituents have not been at any pains latterly to conceal their disgust, frequently mingling with their criticism "curses uotloud, but deep." But the ever-revolving wheels ol' time have rolled the day of election near, and their purse proud arrogance is replaced by thc most abject dust-licking abasement, and their persevering attempts to swallow the social equality pill, and their meek humilia in accepting the re? buffs of the colored people, are, indeed, worthy of u better cause. . A lover of consistency would be shocked to hear these men who have preached the politi? cal, social and mental equality of all humanity (Had ?cal humanity)-now that thc colored peo? ple seem disposed to take the reini"(aud the offices) Into their own hands-go back on their text and say, "these ignorant colored people are totally incompetent to govern themselves, or anybody else, without our aid and assis? tance." It was truly aspltiable sight to see these poor supplicants knocking and pleading at thc doors of Hie Union League for admission, and hear the reply of those hard-hearted colored members: "You have been among us two or three years-holding various offices and never thought of coming into the League until now. We will not admit you." But they succeeded n few days ago by dogged perseverance, hav? ing the illustrious precedent of Wallace's ad? mission to Congress, and your coi respondent is informed that they snarl and snap ut other white applicants who might be eligible to of? fice, losing sight of the inevitable result, viz: the bone will De carried off by an animal of a different color. The crop prospect is not cheering just at this time. Many planters did not get their seed in till the drought came on iii May, and consequently did not get a stand till tho recent rains. Now it ia raining heavily almost every day, and <he grass is outgrowing the cotton. The early stand, however, of both corn and cotton is free from grass and looking well. THE NEWS ls rapidly growing iu popular favor hercabouLs. Everybody regards it as the liveliest paper in the South. L'HOMME QUI KIT. 1 THE roriANs. THE OE AND COUNCIL AT WASHING? TON. Address of Secretary Cox and Reply of Red Cl o uti-IV h ut the Indiana De? sire. The grand council between the Indian dele? gations, the Secretary of the Interior, and Commissioner Parker, was held" at the Indian office in Washington, on Tuesday morning last. Several gentlemen holding official positions under the government, having relations with the Indian tribes, were present. The red men took their seats ic the connell chamber about ll o'clock, and the conference lasted until J. They were arrayed In lull Indian costume, and were evidently much impressed with the-im portance of the occasion. After thVusual for? malities of hand-shaking, the commissioner announced to the chiefs that what Red Cloud had spoken to them had been thought over, and the Secretary o? the Interior would now reply. His words were the words of the Pre? sident, on the subject ol Red Cloud's speech. The Secretary then addressed' the Indians at considerable length, in relation to the requests they bad made, and the feeling of the govern? ment concerning them. He explained to them that when our people grew so fast as to crowd upon the plains, we wanted to find a place for the Sioux to live, where they would not be disturbed. For that reason, our great soldier, (General Sherman,) made the treaty to give them the country which they now have, and to take our own Gopie out of it, so they might live there alone. ?ely, some of our young people wanted to So there again to look for the gold in the hills, ut the President refused to let them'go, say? ing it had been promised to the Sioux, and they must keep it. They may be sure, there? fore, that the President will do what he said, and they shall not be disturbed while they are in peace In that territory. The government will send Mr Bruno, (whose presence at the council was indicated to the Indians,) this sum? mer to Bee them, and to see that they fret the rations which will be sent to them. When he goes he will ask which le the best thing we can do for them.- He will ask if anybody has done them any wrong, and they can tell him when he comes back. We will try lo do what he says they need to have done. The great thine we want to say to them is, that if they will keep peace we will try to do everything they ask that is right. After the Secretary of the Interior (General Cox) bad concluded, there was a long pause, then Red Cloud, who, during t be Secretary's speech, had been sitting in the corner of a sofa, by the side of one of his people, rose sud? denly, and quickly strode across the room to the table at which sat the Secretary and the Commissioner ot Indian Affair.?. Ile shook, hands, saying, "How," ns he did so, with Gen? erals Cox "and Parlier and the oilier white men who were present, and then, seating himself upon the floor, delivered his speech. Tho chief is apparently about forty years of age, fully six feet in height, with a presence dig? nified and commanding. His head is well de? veloped, forehead high and prominent, his eye dark and piercing, his nose straight, not aqui? line, with the high cheek bones of his race. His shoulders are broad, but his frame is light and sinewy, and he walked across the floor of the council chamber with a cat-like step, display? ing all the muscular motion of a practiced athlete. His bands and feet are remarkably small; his complexion is not copper-colored, as ls that of many of the Northern Indians, but rather Asiatic in color, with a decidedly red? dish tint, actually realizing the name of red man. He was dressed partially in Indian costume, wore buckskin leggings and mocca? sins, a blue striped cotton shirt, with a dark woollen blanket bound around his waist. On his breast was a large silver medal, and in his ears huge ear-rings of the same metal. His language ls soft, sounding at times like Span? ish. He spoke quickip and fluently, with em? phasis and animation, gesticulating much. His- sentences were very short. He said as follows, pausing after two or three sentences to allow the interpreter time to translate: I have come from where the sun sets to see my Great Father. He sent for me. I left my people. I offered my prayer to the Great Spirit. He brought me safe to the land of the white man. I am now In my Great Father's house. Look at me. My people once lived where the sun rises; I come from where he sets. When you speak you sit upon chairs; when I talk I will sit upon the ground. Thc Great Spirit raised me In this way; he raised me naked. The red man, who uses the bow and arrow, and the white man, live together In this land, but whose voice was first heard here ? It was the voice of the rtjd man. We were then great and powerful; you were few and weak. YVm came among ns as strangers; your faces were white; we were red. How did we treat you ? We let you live with us; we shared our land with you; we made no war ?Ipon the white man; wo were strong; we [could have driven you back into the great waters from whence you came. Tile Great Spirit smiled upon the white man; your people were like the blades of grass In sj iring wtien summer is coming; thc red mun melted away like thu snow on the hill side when the sun is warm. The white man grew strong in numbers; the red man grt.v Weak. Do you treat us as we treated you ? You say the Great Falhcr of the while man is good and kind to us. but I don't see it. We gave you our lands in the Eos:; we went to where the sun sets In the West. The Great Father sent his people after us; they came from the East, from the North, from the South-even from the West. The white man has driven us upon an island; they are around us on every side. Have you children ? Do you love them ? Do you want them to grow up around you? I have children, too; my people have children whom they love. We ask our Great Father to let us alone upon the island where he has driven us. Leave ns that, where we eau raise our children lu our own way. The white man comes to our country and there is blood spilt upon the grass. That blood is the blood of the red? man. The red man has come from thc West to the land of I the white man. He has come bera into his Great Father's house. He will go back again to his people. He will leave uo blood ol' the white man behind him. The Great Father says he wants peace. The red man wants peace, too: but the white man makes war upon us; the white man goes through our country; he kills our game; he shoots at the red man. It is the fault ol* the Great Father. You are the people who should keep peace. I was born at the torksof the [latta Uiver; my father and my mother told me the land was* mine. 1 don't like the land you have given ii*; the country does not suit my people: my children die there like sheep, but we will remain mid be peace? able il the Great Father will remove the lort (Fort Petterman) from our borders and keep the white man away from our country. The men who the Great Father sends to ns, soldiers and all, have no heart and no sense. His agents are liars; I say it here to-day. They make us promises which are broken. We are the last ot the Ogallalos; we have come to know from the Great Father why his promises have not been kept. Tho goods which he sends my people ate stolen on the way; only a handful ever reaches us. His agents are liars; I say se here to-day. At the mouth . of Horse Creek, in 1852, there was a treaty made, and the white man who made that treaty (General Mitchell) is the only one who ever told us the truth. The Great Spirit has taught you to read and write; he has put papers before you. He raised me naked; you think me a fool. I want no roadrln my coun *rv; vour people have come Lhere by the Black Hills" and the Big Horn; they have driven stakes lor a road. I don't believe the Great Father knows ol' it. 1 want them removed. You say you pav us for our land. You have already built roads through our country, and I have never received so much as a brass ring lor the land they occupy. Thc white matrmakes all the ammunition. Why don't you give us some to kill game ? Are you afraid we will make war upon you ? Look at me; I am poor and naked; I have no arms; my people are only a handful, you are great and powerful. Is the Great Father afraid we are going to make war upon him ? We wnnt the arms to kill game with. We don't want them to make war with on the white man. ,1 have told all these things three times be? fore. I now come from the West Into the Great Father's house to tell them a fourth time. I came to talk with the GreatoFatber. I came to say what I thought. Some of these days we can go to larming, but we cannot go right away. Each sentence of the speech was received with loud grunts, denoting hearty applause from the Indians present. After Red Cloud concluded, Little Bear made a short speech, complaining ol bad treatment by Soldiers and others while he was engaged in farming ope? rations. Several of his young men, he said, were shot while out hunting, and that ended his corn raising. He reiterated the main fea? tures and complaints of Red Cloud's speech. Secretary Cox promised to report all that had been said to the President, and arrange a time for meeting with him. The present con? ference practically ends the business of hear? ing complaints and determining action on them, as was evidenced by the speech of the Secretary. The Indian? Entertained at the White Huuse- V Q,uier Scene. The Indians now in Washington are the ob? jects of much curiosity, interest and attention. The reception entertainment given them by the President last week was attended by many distinguished persons. The Indians, bucks and squaws, had a high time. They were ar? rayed in all jjieir barbaric finery-blankets, buffalo robes, feathers, medals, Ac. A corres? pondent writes : When the gas was lighted, they evinced much curiosity. The table was covered with flowers and all the decorations customary on grand occasions. Strawberries, cherries, oranges, bananas, Ices, cakes of all kinds, French candies and wines, were set oflt in pro? fusion. The Indians were the lions of the even? ing, and were assigned the places ol honor, being waited on by the other lions, loreign and domestic. They gorged themselves with the dainties. At first they evidently had a distrust ol' the ice cream, but when they came to understand what lt was tliey devoured quantities o? lt. They managed the gold spoons with great dexterity, and Red Cloud sarcastically observed that he found the white people ate many things which they did not send to the Indians, and that they did not seem to live entirely on corn meal. The wine of the Great Father went not untasted and was appreciated to the full, as was evinced by the falling asleep of some of the Indian Imbibers. The squaws were particularly pleased with the snapping kisses, and pulled them with the foreign ministers with charming naivete. What they could not eat they carried off in their blankets. The eating over, they retired "with a succession of grunts" to the east room, where they were presented by the ladies with bouquets and such ornaments and trinkets as they had about them. When the powwow broke up an omnibus conveyed Hie Indians to their lodgings. End or the Indian Diplomacy- Ital Cloud's Lust Visit to the President Fort FY Merman to Stand-The Indian to bc Protected, but not to Obstruct Civilization, &c. A Washington dispatch of Friday last sums up the result of the negotiations is follows: At last the government diplotntcy respecting Its Indian tribes has come to an end, and the President has Indicated to the representatives of the Sioux Nations that the particular con? cession they most desire cannot be sanctioned by the government. They have been told In plain terms that not only is Fort Fetlennan, the eye-sore ol'the Sioux Nations, to remain us it is. but that where lt ls necessary to have roads running through the country to and from the different settlements, that also must not be disputed. So the Indian question re? mains in statu quo, and Ute next indications of important Indian news will most likely reach here from the West after Ral Cloud and Spotted Tall have reached the setting sun, beneath the last rays of which they have so eloquently described their homes to be in all their orations before their different paternal ancestors ia this section. Spotted Tail has started for that region com? placently, but by no means satisfied. Red Cloud remains here for a week longer, still smarting under wrongs wilch he does not feel will be suppressed. They are both to have safe conducts to the points lrom which they started. That the government ls bound in honor to clo one thing is certain. Regard? ing the Indian visit here theyhave learned no more of the power of the government than they possessed before. The burden ol' their speeches has been the greatness of this nation and the humility of their own in point of num? bers and munitions of war. At the same time that knowledge has not produced any declara? tion of permanent peace on their part unless the demands they make are satisfied. The irutli ls. the red men "have asked for bread and received a stone." At tho Interview of the Red Cloud delegates witl: the President to? day, which is the last Hey will have with their Gro?? Father, they said they could not live excepting on wild gnrae.'and "plainly" expressed their preference for the delights of uncivilization. It will be ol'no usu for the government to try aol get the Sioux es'pousc agriculture. They siy they get hun? gry and have to kill their sto:k to sustain life. Tlie truth is; no olllciul here, particularly coli? cers of the anny, imagines any happy results from the visit of the Indians to Washington. They will go back to the clase,* nnd ou the war-path. The best points which the govern? ment has are in doing Just wlat it intends to do: Feed and clothe the? red men as fur as consistent with the appropriitions for these purposes, deprive them of piwder and ball, and keep the frontier solllcucnts well pro? tected by the army from the ravages of such as Red Cloud.

REMINISCENCES OF DICKENS. Death Threatened-The First Symp? toms of Disease. Mr. Dickens, in 1869, wrote a remarkable "Uncommercial Paper,"' giving an account of the beginning of the disease which terminated in his death. Read in the light of his sudden end, the sketch has some very touching and suggestive passages, which we quote: A FLY LEAF FROM LIFE. Once upon a time (no matter when) I was engaged In a pursuit (no matter what,) which could be transacted by myself alone, in which I could have no help, which imposed a con? stant strain on my attention, memory, obser? vation and physical powers, and which involv? ed an almost fabulous amount of change of place and rapid railway travelling. I had fol? lowed this pursuit through an exceptionally trying winter in an always trying climate, and had resumed it in England after but a brief repose. Thus lt came to be prolonged until at length and, as it seemed, all of a sudden, lt so wore me out that I could not rely with my usual cheerful confidence upon my? self to achieve the constantly recurring task, and began to feel, for the first time In my life, giddy, jarred, shaken, faint, uncertain of voice and sight and tread and touch, and dull of spirit. The medical advice I sought within a few hours was given in two words : "In? stant rest." Being accustomed to observe myself as curiously ns if I were another man, and knowing the advice to meet my only need. I instantly halted In the pursuit 'of which I speak, and rested. My intention was to inter? pose, as it were, a fly-leaf in the book of my life, in which nothing should be written from without for a brief season of a few weeks. But some very singular experiences recorded themselves on this same fly-leaf, and I am go? ing to relate them literally. I repeat the word -literally. My first odd experience was of the remarka? ble coincidence between my case, in the gene? ral mind, and one Mr. Merdle's, as I And it re? corded In a work of fiction called "Little Dor? rit!." To be sure, Mr. Merdle was a swindler, forger and thief, and my calling had been of a lees harmful (aud less remunerative) nature; but it was ali one for that Here ls Mr. Merdle's case : "At first, he was dead of all the diseases that ever were known, and of .several bran new maladies Invented with the speed of light to meet the demand of the occasion." "Five hundred people who sat down to breakfast entirely uninformed on the whole subject, believed, before they had done break? fast, thal they privately and personally knew Physician to have sala to Mr. Merdle, 'You mn/t expect to go out some day, like the snuff of a candle,' and that they knew Mr. Merdle to to have said to Physician, 'A man can die but once.' By about ll o'clock In the forenoon, something the matter with the brain became the favorite theory against the field, and by 12 the something had been distinctly ascertained tobe 'Pressure.' Pressure was so entirely satis? factory to the public mind, and seemed to make every one so comfortable, that lt might have lasted all day but for Bar's having taken the real state of the case Into court at half-post 9. Pressure, however, so far from being over? thrown by the discovery, became a greater favorite than ever. There was a general mor? alizing upon Pressure In every street. All the people who tried to make money and bad not been able to do It, said, "There you wore !" You no sooner began to devote yourself to the pursuit ol' wealth thun you got Pressure. "The idle people ?inproved the occasion in a similar manner. See, said they, what you brought yourself to by work, work, work ! You persisted In working, you overdid it; Pres? sure came in and you were done for ! This consideration was very potent in many quar? ters, but nowhere more so than among young clerks and partners who had never been In the slightest danger of over-doing it. These, one and all, declared quite piously that they hoped that they would never forget the warn? ing, as long as they lived, and that their con? duct might be so regulated as to keep off Pres? sure, and preserve them a comfort to their friends for many years." Just ray case, if I had only known it, when I was quietly basking la the sunshine In my Kentish meadowy. An Ill-starred Marriage - Dickens's Own Account of HU Separation from his Wife. Early in life-just niter the publication of "Pickwick"-Mr. Dickens married the daugh? ter of Mr. George Hogarth, the author and critic. He separated from her ia 1858, and as the event called forth a great deal of ill-natur? ed comment, the following letter was written for the purpose of being shown to the public : MY DEAR-: Mrs. Dickens and I have lived unhappily together for many years. Hardly any one who has known ns Intimately can fail to have known that we are, in all re? spects of character and temperament, wonder? fully unsuited to each other. I suppose that no two people, not vicious in themselves, ever were joined together, who had greater difficul? ty In understanding one another, or who had less in common. An attached woman servant (more friend to both of us than a servant,) who lived with us sixteen years, and is now married, and who was, and still is, in Mrs. Dickens's confldenoe and mine, who had the closest familiar experience oft his unhappiness In London, in the country, In Krance, in Italy, wherever we have been, year after year, month after month, week ulter week, doy after day, will bear testimony to this. . Nothing has, on many occasions, stood be? tween ns and a separation but Mrs. Dickens's sister, Georgine Hogarth. From the age ot 15 she has devoted herself to our house and chil? dren. She has been their playmate, nurse, In? structress, friend, protectress, adviser und companion. In the manly consideration to? ward Mrs. Dickens which I owe to my wile, I will merely resuark of lier that the peculiarity of her character has lbrown all the care of the children on some one else. I do not know-I cannot by any stretch ol' fancy imagine-what would have become of them, out lor this aunt, who hos grown up with them, to whom they are devoted, and who hos sucriilccd the bes't part of her youth and life to them. She has remonstrated, reasoned, suffered and toiled, and come again to prevent a sepa? ration between Mrs. Dickens and me. Mrs. Dickens has often expressed to her her sense of her affectionate care and devotion In thc house-never more strongly than in the last twelve months. * For some years past. Mrs. Dickens has been in the habit ol' representing to me that it would be better for her to go away and live apart; that her always increasing estrangement made ? mental disorder, under which she sometimes labors; more, that she felt herself unfit for the life she had to lead as my wife, and that she would be far better away. I have uniformly replied that she must bear our misfortune anil light the tight out to the end; that the chil? dren were the first consideration, and that I feared they must bind us together "In appear? ance." At length, wiihln these three weeks, it was suggested to me by Forster, that even for their sakes, lt would surely be better to reconstruct and rearrange thc unhappy home. I empow? ered him to treat with Mrs. Dickens as the friend ol'both ol'us for one and twenty years. Mrs. Dickens wished to add, on her part, Mark Lemon, and did so. On Satin day last Lemon wrote lo Forster that Mrs. Dickens "gratefully and thankfully accepted" the terms I proposed toher. Of thc pecuniary part of them, 1 will only suv Hint I believe I hoy are as generous as if Mrs. Dickens were a lady of distinction and I a man ol fortune. The remaining parts ol' them are easily de? scribed -my eldest boy lo live with Mts. Dick? ens, and to'take care ol'her; ray eldest girl to keep my house; both my girls and all my chil? dren but the eldest son io live with me in con? tinued companionship of their A*nt Georgine, for whom they have all the tenderest affections that I have ever seen among young people, and who has a higher claim (as I have oiten declared for many years) upon my affection, respect and gratitude than anybody in this world. I hope that no one who may become ac qnainted with what I write here can possibly be so cruel and unjust as to put any miscon? struction on our separation so far. My elder children all understand it perfectly, and all ac? cept it os inevitable. There Is noL a shadow of doubt or conceal? ment among us. My eldest son and I are oue as to it all. Two wicked persons, who should have spoken very different of me, in consideration ol earned respect and gratitude, have (as 1 am told, and, indeed, to my personal knowledge) coupled with this separation the name of a young lady for whom I have a great attach? ment and regard. I will not repeat the name I honor lt too much. Upon my soul and honor, there is not on this earth a more virtuous and spotless creature than that young lady. I know her to be innocent and pure, and as good as my own daughters. Further, I am sure that Mrs. Dickens, hav? ing received this assurance from me, must now believe it, In the respect I know her to have for rae, and in the perfect confidence I know her, in her better moments, to repose in my truthfulness. On this head, again there*is not a shadow of doubt or concealment between my children and me. All ls open and plain among tis, as though we were brothers and sisters. They are periectly certain that I would not deceive them, and the confidence among us ls without a fear. C. D. Nero Publications. -pOGAKTLE'S BOOK DEPOSITORY.

CONTAINS NO ANODYNE. RUSSELL'S SOOTHING CORDIAL ls offerea o the public with an absolute guarantee against an danger from its use. Read the following certifi? cates : CHARLESTON, May 16,1868. Mr. J. B. RUSSELL, one of our careful and intel? ligent Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to my examination the formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and vended by him. It affords me pleasure to express a favorable opinion of its safe and elli clent adaptation to the particular cases of the diseases of children, which it is designed to relieve. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial in severe cases of Bowel Com? plaints in children and delicate females, I have been much pleased with its effects. I consider it a valuable medicine in ali cases, in which lt may be advisable to avoid the use of anodyne, and par? ticularly for family use, as it ls perfectly safe. W. T. WRAGG, M. D. CHARLESTON. S. C.. 1868. I certify that I have most successfully used RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial In thc Summer Com? plaints of In rants, lie has fully exhibited the in? gr?dients of lils remedy, and the tedious method of preparation. I recognize the prescription containing no anodyne whatever-as a most safe and eitlcaciousone in bowel affections of children. When much pain or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses of Paregoric can be added to the pre. scribed doses of the Cordial according to the age of the patient. The compound, though more often, acts in an efficient manner without any ad? dition of anodyne. .- In the Diarrhoea of the aged, In increased doses, it is of great value as a remedy; never disagree? ing with the stomach-increasing appetite, im? proving digestion, and acting as a slow but effi? cient astringent agent. W. M. FITCH, M. D. _\ CHARLESTON, S. C., 1868. Dear Sir-I have used your Soothing Cordial for Diarrhoea in teething children, and find lt a very excellent preparation. It has a great advantage over most preparations or the kind in containing no Opium or Narcotic. Wheu these are required they can be added in proportions applicable to thc case. I therefore can recommend its use la the affec? tions for which it ls designed. Respectfully yours, Ac. T. L. OGIER, M. D.. MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., 18681 Afr. ./. B. Russell : DEAR SIR-I have used your Soothing Cordial for children extensively in my practice, and mose cheerfully testify to its merits. I have found lt, without an exception, to accomplish all it claims, and cons; 1er lt superior to anything in use for children. Its freedom from anodyne of any kind recom? mends lt as a perfectly safe preparation la thsv hands of mothers and inexperienced nurses. Very respectfully, Ac, D. R- WILLIAMS, M. D.. Made by J. B.
