Living in a'part of the country remote from Conwayboro', and destitute of mail facilities, this dir? ct specification did not reach me until the 6th of June.

A NEGRO OUTBREAK IN GEORGIA. A Body of Negroes Attack the Jail a t Louisville and Release the Prisoners United States Troops sent for-In tense Excitement t The Savannah News prints the following ac? count of a negro outbreak at Louisville, Geor? gia. On Saturday afternoon last, about ene bun? dled negroes broke into the jail at Louisville, the county seat of Jeff .rson County, and re? leased all the inmates, mostly if not all ne? groes. The attack Beamed to be particularly directed to secure the liberty of a negro who had been imprisoned tor snooting a horse or mule. No conflict took place between the negroes and the o:tizens, but the in tensest excitement prevailed among the people and spread through the country like wildfire. On Su M day, the negroes sent ont runners in every direction, and soon collected a force no wards of ooo thousand strong. This body paraded the afreets in bands, cursi ug and hurraing, and' behaving themselves in tbe most disorderly manner-even going so far in their lawlessness as to threaten to burn the town. At.th'B crisis, the whites rapidly turned out to defend th- place, Bending messengers to Emanuel and other counties for assistance, which was sent in squads of men as fist as circumstances would allow all Sunday night, ap to eleven o'clock Monday morning. The i.egroes had their headquarters in an old field, about a mile and a half from the town, all of Sunday night, but Monday mim? ing had all disbsuded and gone to work ex? cept a few and a ringleader citied -'(Judio." who, together with companions who remained succeeded subsequently iii escapm? upon loaming ol preparations being made to cu ture them. Munday mernina about balf a dozen men came to Bartow (distant twelve miles from Louisville) to secure "Cudjo," tbinkiog he would take Hie tram to escape, but they faded m their purpose, as he did not make his ap? pearance On Sunday nicht the citizens of Louisville sent a messenger to Atlanta foi a detachment of United States troops, which is expected to arrive to-night. -A few weeks since the sub-treasury at Philadelphia was delrauded of several thous? and dollars in gold, by parties altering checks which they received In payment of the July In? terest Since then detectives have been work? ing up the case, and a lew days since one of | the officers of the bureau of engraving and printing succeeded In arresting one ol the de? frauders and secured about $2500 of the moner.

Bazaine and McMahon communicate by couriers. Another dispatch says : "Bazaine has forced a passage by way of Autun and Longnlon, reaching Mont m edy. , The Journals continue to urge a. levy en masse to exterminate, the invaders. The French gunboats are'recalled from the Rhine to the Seine. It ls reported that the armies of Prince Fred? erick Charles and the Crown Prince have ef? fected a junction. Ugly Rumors Abtut thc Prussian Army -Bazaine Professes to lie Master of the Situation. LONDON, August 16. The Standard's correspondent says that Paris will be defended, even if a bombardment occurs. The Opinion Nationale, under the caption, l('Keep Cool," predicts a Prussian defeat as a result of pending combinations. The Emperor is determined to charge with McMahon's army In the next battle. The camp at Chalons is certainly raised. The Emperor's headquarters are at Rheims. McMahon's at Cerncelles. A Paris special says it ls reported that Ba? zaine was reinforced on Sunday from Chalons, and that the armies ol the King and Stein? metz are too much crippled to assume the offensive. Another special says that Bazaine has the north and centre of France open, either to reinforce or to retreat. Bazaine professes to be master of the situation. Another dispatch says Pallkao announced In the Corps L?gislatif, yesterday, that he was In receipt of good news from Bazaine, giving proof ot Bazalne's confidence in the result, wherein the government shared. The Morning Post ls authorized to deny the authenticity ot the pretended letter from Queen Victoria to the Empress Eugenie, pub? lished yesterday. Another Wild Rumor. LONDON, August 22. . It ls almost certain that an Intervention of the Great Powers will take place In a lew days. Ten Thousand Prussian Wounded Sent to Berlin-Uproar in the French Chambers-The French Loan More than Taken. PARIS, August 23. There was no decisive action growing out ol the dally meetings ol tbe diplomats. 1 The French are buying horses in Italy. Paris Is provisioned for two months, and has wine for six months. Six million francs were distributed among the families of soldiers. Dysentery prevails in the Prussian army. Ten thousand Prussian wounded have been, sent lo Berlin. In the Corps L?gislatif yesterday, when Pallkao gave reassuring news; Keratry de? manded* the date, also whethe . the dispatch was from Bazaine. Pallkao replied lt was the 19th, when an uproar lu the chamber drowned the authorship. Keratry proposed that nine deputies be added to the committee of defence of the party of the Left. Some members of the majority gave signs of approval. After the tumult subsided, Paiikao said the committee of defence was numerous enough, and in the name of the* whole Cabinet repelled the propo? sition just made to question the confidence thus established. The deputies retired to de? bate the matter, which will be decided to-mor? row. It creates a sensation, as an attempt to interfere with the administration. The Solr says the dispatch alluded to was from Bazaine, and adds that Palikao is certain to be sustained by the Corps, otherwise he would not have been so decided. It is officially denied that Prince Napoleon went to Victor Emanuel on a diplomatic mis? sion. The Archbishop ol Paris directs the clergy to contradict the report that the Pope felici? tated the King of Prussia. A number of spies were arrested to-day. The Si?cle says that the loan of 750,000,000 francs ls more than taken. It seems that a proposal has been brought beiore the Great Powers to prevent the dis? memberment of France. Assurances have been sent to the Pope by the French Government that Italy has no in? tention ol' attacking Borne. The Crown Prince Supporting the Army at Metz-Tuc King Threatened with a Combined Attack-Capture of a Prus? sian Frigate. LONDON, August 23. It is reported that the Crown Prince, aban? doning his march on Puris, has gone to the support of the Prussian armies west of Metz, which are threatened with formidable attacks from Bazaine, reinforced by McMahon. A dispatch from Alexandria says that the Prussian frigate Hertha, twenty-eight guns, has been captured by the French. The Chalons Army Moving np to Ba? zaine-McMahon's two Evils. NEW YORK, August 23. . The Telegram has the following special : LON BON, August 23. There is nothing official from either army Blnce yesterday. Private advices assert that the Chalons army is moving towards Thlonvllle in a desperate effort to effect a Junction with Bazaine, escap? ing thus from the Prince Royal, and passing the German army north of Verdun. McMahon had the choice of two evils-either to leave the road to Paris open, or, by holding it, to sacrifice Bazaine.

In places; and in the public gardens. Aids camp and bearers of dispatches pass In all dli tions. The people of Paris, grouped at th pol ms on the exterior and interior bonlevar discuss the news with animation. The he quarters of General Trochu are at the Elyse and, as once before under Cavalgnac, the ? of Paris is entirely in the hands ol'her mints saviour. Very little Is said of the Emperor this time. He ls reported to be at Rhein where also is the Prince Imperial. - Yesterday General Trochu called a meetl at the Elysees of all general officers charg with important commands. To them he ga iustructlons. They were rigid so far as th relate to thc enemy's spies, who Increase numbers hereabouts. Any such taken will be'trled by court-mart within twenty-four hours. The woods ot Bo logne and Vincennes are to be sacrificed. T trees will be made Into abattis, to hinder c proaches to the lortlflcatlons. Tho Parisla do not relish this measure, but it is said to absolutely necessary. Beyond prepnratlo for the defence of Paris, there is nothing ii portant to mention. Bazaine continues 1 retreat successfully. Inflicting upon the enen enormous losses. I am told that since Sund there have been more than 50,000 killed ai wounded on both sides. CONSTERNATION IN PAWS -ANGER OF TU PEOPLE. PARIS, August 20. The utmost consternation prevailed in ll: city this afternoon. The first intelligence the defeat and entrapment ol' Bazaine's arn was made known. The scenes that followi on the Bot?evard beggars description. 1 immense crowd of people surrounded tl Chambers with loud expressions of anger. Tl hopeful statements of the ministers, especial Par.kao'8 assertion that, the concentr?t? of the French armies had been effected, ai dispatches received purporting to have be< Bazaine's were openly charged to have bee concocted in Paris. CONSOLATION rS ADVERSITY. PARIS, August 20. The Constitutionnel oftfo-day says: "Ol reverses at first surprised and frightened u We started for victory too reliantly. We hav received a hard lesson. We have found tl enemy more powerful than we expected, ar ourselves not ready, as we were taught to b lleve. The evil ls not without a remedy.

The Prussians won at i tearful cost, the mltruilleurs doing terribl work. Four villages and the battle-fields stll strewn with the dead. Metz ls surrounded and lt looks as If preparations were bein?; made by the Prussians for a siege. "General Sheridan, from the King's head quarters, witnessed the battle. The King re turned here last night, and the Crown Prince visited him to-day, coming from a directlot which indicates that lils torces are not tar from Bar le Due. The Prussians are building a railway from Remllley to thia point. The French General Latour was wounded and taken prisoner In the last battle. While pass? ing through that place, the citizens crowded around him with tears in their eyes and kissed his hands. There are rumors of peace nego? tiations, caused, perhaps, by the Queen's mes? senger appearing at headquarters." WAR .MATTERS IS THE LEGISLATIVE CORPS. PARIS, August 21. In the Corps L?gislatif yesterday, Deputies Gambetta and Picard called tue attention of the government to the necessity of speedily completing the armament of the Garde Nation ale at Paris. Gamier PugesaUo complained ot the delay in naming competent officers for the Garde. Clieveau, Minister of the Interior, said that he could give most satisfactory replies lo the sug? gest lo id ot members. On the lotti inst., there were but 24,000 men enrolled lu thu Garde, now there were 51,000, and In a few davs lucre would be SO.O0O. Cheveau also gave oilier ox planatlons of the preparations tor tim defence of Paris, which were received with great satis? faction. The Journal des D?bats says that at the bat? tle of Gaiirnonr, referred to by Count Palikao in his statement to the Corps L?gislatif, yes? terday, one French regiment held In check the Prussian force, thus enabling Marshal Ba? zaine lo execute a flank movement, and re? pulse the enemy with great loss. THE PRUSSIAN RESERVES. LONDON, August 20. Prussian reserves in readiness at various posts amount to $200,000 men. PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES NOT WOUNDED.

At Couicillers, Thlonville and Gravelotte, they are kuown to have lost 15,000 In each battle, in? cluding at tlie latter place, 4000 prisoners. DIFFICULTIES OF THE PITUATTON-A DECISTVE BATTLE IMMINENT. LONDON. August 21-3 P. M. The telegrams of Saturday morning have only just been received "Tn Paris from the scene of war. around Metz. , The conduct of. Marshal Bazaine causes the gravest apprehen? sions. It was previously understood that he was so situated aa to be able to march without opposition on Metz or Verdun, as he prefer? red, and now he seems to be inactive. It re? quires nineteen hours for messages to pass be? tween him and^Marshal McMahon, and their communlcatfons-are 'frequently interrupted al-, together. The French troops In the battle of the 18th again found themselves without ammunition. Paris now knows that the Prussian Crown Prince is at Vi try Le Francais, and a battle de? cisive of the war ls. hourly expected between bim and Marshal McMahon. The Prussians have made heavy requisitions at Lune ville. - The capture of Pfalsburg assur?s the com- ! munlcatlons ol the Crown Prince with his base ? of supplies. FURTHER CONTRADICTQRT REPORTS. ... PARIS, August 21. The Figaro asserts that the camp at Chalons has beenbroken up, and that the troops lately there must be close to the troops of the Prince Royal . If so. the Prussians now have around them Marshal Bazaine, with his forces massed In and around Metz on the one hand, and Mar? shal McMahon with his own corps and the large force which was at Chalons on the.other. Le Public says that the statement ol the Figaro is correct, and a decisive battle is Im? minent. All rumors ol' Marshal Bazaine being surrounded are false, as the result of the right? ing for tho past three days he has changed his plans, as events will soon show. The Prefect of the Seine advices farmers and grain merchants to store their, supplies In government warehouses at the cost of the gov? ernment, so in case of need the stock of provi? sions will be so much greater, EUOENIB RESIGNED TO ANT FATK. MADRID, . ugust 2L The Countess de Monillo has received a tele? gram from the Empress Eugenie, in which she professes to be resigned to any fate which may befall her. Regent Serrano has telegraphed to Paris, offering the Empress shelter. Sev? enty heavy cases arrived here last week ad? dressed to the Countess de Montljo. DEFENSIVE REGULATIONS, AC. PARIS, August 21. Admiral Roncleres has addressed a procla? mation to the sailors and marines charged with the defence of the forts of Paris. He says that they must be here what they were at Sebastopol, where their services were so great, The journals report that each German sol? dier carries with him In the campaign a little book, containing simple French ana German phrases, such us are needed to converse with country people. All German officers have the most detailed maps of the French territory. The Minister of the Interior has issued an order that the public must not under any cir? cumstances mount upon ramparts or Inspect tile works of defence, under penalty of trial by council of war. At Cherbourg civilians are not permitted to enter the arsenals, forts or navy-yard, even un? der the escort of an officer. THE BATTLE OF WOERTH. The French utterly Outgeneraled-Me M a li o H Attack* Largely Superior Numbers-De Fullly ? Corps Arrives too Lu tc- V Fortress Abandoned-Ex? cellent Prussian War Management All Germany "Marching On." A specul correspondant at the headquarters of the Cro*n Prince of Prussia writes on the 12th iastunt: Thc more we pat her of tbe details of the battle of Woortb, the more cloarly does it appear that there was no miracle about tho affiir-no sudden surprise as though a now weapon bad been discovered. From the vil? lages in the rear of the field I gather far ?oro of thc French movements than can be learned from the prisoners or the villagers on the field itself. It would seem that the Imperial com mauders in this quarter were altogether out-manotivrod by the Crown Prince, and that whatever the merits of the respective small arms, the lai? ties of the two armies will not bear compari? son. Some 8\v even now that tho cha sse pot is a better rifl-? than the needle gan; but be tba: rs it may, the French allowed themselves to be so placed as to have required no common amount of tinmine: to save them at all. First, we hear of their blind confidence, and of their cries of "? Berlin," while they wore really in in desperate danger. Then came the news of the surprise at Weissenburg, and of the death ot General Doua v. He wa- posted i.i a comer of the Freuen territory, with a mas3 of Ger? man troops collected on both his flanks, and was much further from his supports than pru? dence warranted in tho face of such an eu erny, lt can never bo known whether the Froneh commander would havo extricated his men with less loss than they actually sustained had he h vol to direct them, for be fell by one of the first diecbart?es of artillery. Thus was a step gained by thc Gormans, i hey had gallantly s'ormed the position at Weissenburg and had begun to shatter the enemy in detail. McMahon and De Failly were now called on to act. The former march? ed against the Crown Prince with his whole corps d'arm? J, and, as was believed among the French soldiers, expected De Failly to support bis left in case of a check. Hero again was the impetuous ovcr-coufideuce which French? men are apt to show. Tbe second opportunity of meeting them in detail was given to tho Ger? mans, and a bloody battle was the result. The PrussiauB and BAVdrianB together far outnu nbered the corps of McMahon. We may estimate that the Crown Prince had at least ballas many again of disposable troops on August 6 as his opponents. I have bear l tw.'lve to seven mentioned as odds iu the fight at Woerth, and before McMahon had boon long engaged be was sending aides-de-camp to beg help from Do Failly. The distance was not great to Bitscbe, and the messages must have arrived in time to bring tin needed help, if only everything bad been in rcadiuess. But hare again over-confidence had prevailed. One French corps was destroyed before the other came to its support. I have heard that on Sunday, the day following the butte, a large force was abont in the rear of where McM a ho u had fought. People who saw it tell with won? der of the rush of the beaten army westward, and tbe advance of Angry and almost incred? ulous troops toward the front. It was too late to reuow the battle, too late to sore the five regiments which lay strewn over the fields at Woertb. The more desperate their resistance, the more they had been slaughtered; aud at the last there had been a sort of panic. Freuchmen are bad hands at retreating after a di feat, lt seems certain that the fugitives from Woerth were in great disorder, even wnen passum through villages teu miles io the rear. The corps ot De Failly could only have s teri? fleed itself usolcssly wheu oueo McMahon's sold'ors had been domorahzsd.

FULL ACCOUNT OF THE SLAUGHTER TIENTSIN. Twenty-two Europeans and More than Fifty Children Killed. Our files from Shanghai and Yokohama con? tain the full particulars of the horrible massa? cre at Tientsin, near Pekin, of the French Con? sul and his secretary, and about twenty other Europeans, which was noticed In our dis? patches a few days since. HOW IT ORIGINATED. The Catholic misslonarl?s, who have for many years been teaching the native children and making many converts, provoked the hos? tility of the native priests and lower order of | mandarins by their success. As a pretext for the meditated attack, the missionaries were accused of kidnapping Chinese children and forcing them to attend their schools. Stories to this effect were circulated, parents became alarmed, and the populace were worked up to a great pitch ol' excitement, so that out ot more than two hundred children attending the school at Tientsin all had been taken away but fifty or sixty of them. The alarm spread rapid? ly through the lower classes, and then mis-, si o naries were accnsed ol killing children and scooping out their eyes for medicinal purposes. All sorts of HORRIBLE STORIES were quickly current to the injury of the mis? sionary work. Outbreaks took place at the South. Placards were posted by the more tur? bulent of the literati and priests. At many of | the treaty ports the effect was to raise riots, which, however, were. quickly put under by the efforts of the loreign consuls, backed by gunboats. Atlast notices were posted, exciting the people to destroy the missionary houses and churches. The people gathered In hundreds, and were soon given to understand by their leaders what was wanted of them. The Chi? nese authorities, In the meanwhile, as every? body else at such times, did nothing, or worse than nothing; they helped on the riot In an un? derhand way. On the J9th June A CROWD ASSEMBLED In the native city, one and a hall miles above the foreign bund. After a time the French Consul, who lived In that quarter, succeeded in Inducing the people to disperse. They moved away, but still exhibited signs of hos? tility to foreigners. Dr. Frazer, physician at Tientsin, met the crowd, and narrowly escap? ed a beating by the swiftness of his horse. On the 20th some French priests were beaten, and the French Consul, M. Fontainer, notified H. E. Chung-how, at the Yamen, of the fact, and requested him to put a stop at once to the tumult. About 12 31.. on the 21st of June, the French Consul and gueels, Mr. Thomassin, Sec? retary ot Legation at Pekin, and his wife (both of whom.hndbut Just arrived out trora France,) together with Mr. Coutris, were at Tiffin, when a multitude ol' excited Chinese came to? ward the house. SHOUTING AND TELLING, and demanding that all the children should be given back to them. Stones and other mis? siles were thrown at the consulate, breaking the windows and damaging the table around which tile lady and gentlemen were seated. The consul and lils friend, Mr. Thomassin, put on their uniforms, and went out to endeavor to disperse the mob. They lound the Chinese would not obey; therefore, leaving the lady for a time in the house, they all went towards the Yamen, some eighth of a mlle distant. On the way there, Mr. Thomassin, finding the matter wearing a more serious look than he had at first expected, returned to protect lils wile. Mr. Coutris here became separated from his friends, and the French Consul and his secretary walked into the Ynmen and DEMANDEU AN INTERVIEW with Chnng, the military Governor of the province. The crowd pressed all about the con? sul using threatening language. Chung could not or would not help him. It is known that the consul fired oil his revover, but it ls thought to have been accidentally discharged willie he was being pushed and crowded In the audience chamber. At all events, there was no one hurt by the pistol, which would not have been the case, without doubt, had it been raised. The consul, finding himself hard pressed, and without the chance ol' any help being afforded by Cnung, turned and left the Yamen for his house. He had not gone many steps bet?re he was SEIZED EY TUE CHINESE, lils uniform torn off, his body beaten, and eventually cut and stabbed with knives and spears. His death must have occurred at about thu same time as Mr. Thomassin's-the one near the Yamen and the other near the consu? late. Poor Mr. Thomassin was tated never to see his wife alive again; he fell beneath the spears of the bloodthirsty Chinese. THE SIGHT OP BLOOD now warmed the ruffl'ns to their appointed work, and they rushed to the French Consu? late. Mrs. Thomassin met them bravely at the doorway, pistol in hand. One or two, and some say three, Chinamen fell before her pis? tol shots, when numbers overpowered her, and she was killed by tile blows ol' a sharp instru? ment on the back of her head. BUTCHERY OF THE SISTERS OF CHARITY. The Consulate building was then burned and destroyed, and all the servants massacred. In tlie meanwhile the convent house of the Sisters of Charity and the French cathedral were being assaulted by the mob. A priest at the doorway was killed, and ten women quick? ly shared the same fate, but in a more horrible manner. Most of them were beaten, their clothes torn off, and then they were seized and placed on their heads agaiust the convent wall, and HACKED TO PIECES in the most savage manner-their eyes dug out, their breasts cut off. and every cruelty that savage brutes can effect, too sickening here lu narrate, was perpetrated. One of the Sisters, named Louisa, well known as a faith? ful and constant attendant at the hospital in Shanghai, wa3reported to have escaped ina Chinese dress, and was concealed by some Chinese female lriends until night, when, at? tempting to go back to the Convent, her Eu? ropean shoes discovered her to be a white ?vornan, and she was quickly taken and killed. Her body was THROWN INTO THE RIVER. Tlie Chinese burned the cathedral and con? vent buildings, aud it is supposed at least sixty Chinese children perished In the cellars of the budding, where they had fled for safety. The bodies of the Sisters were thrown back into the buildings alter being killed, and horn? ed. Their CHARRED REMAINS were afterwards collected by the orders of j Chung, and sent down to the foreign quarter of Tientsin. The butchery did not end here. Chalmai son, another Frenchman, living near the west gate, was also killed. His wife escaped, and was harbored by Chinese in the same street. But she went out at night to her house, in Chinese clothes, and on lier way back, missing the friendly house, and calling out to them to open the door, her volee betrayed her, and she was killed by the drilled troops. A RUSSIAN OFFICER, Ir. Protopopoff, ;with his wife, married but he day before, were riding with a Russian ;entlerc an hamed Basco rf, hear the French ,'onsulate, when they were set upon by the mob nd killed. Their bodies were thrown Into the Iver. Mr. Simon, secretary at the French Consulate, also led a victim to. the fury of the ?h??ese. Mr. A. Contris was the only French aan In Tientsin who ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE... He was. conceited after he m am aged to elude., tis pursuers, and ' made his appearance In the 'oreIgn,3ettlement. On the following night fter the massacre, a German resident, with ils family, escaped after being hld In a stable ome thlrty-Bl? hours. . .. THE NEXT DAV AFTER THE BUTCHERY Ihnng-how had the remains of the foreigners oUected and sent into the. settlement. .The tusslan bodies were taken from the river near he bund. The foreign community buried all ?ut the French in the cemetery, with the isual ceremonies. The bodies of the French vere carefully collected and placed in the iofflns at the cemetery, where they will re? nnin till the countrymen of the slain arrive to ;lve them proper fanerai honors and conse :ration. - THE PROTESTANT MISSION deo received the attention ot the mob, who risited them, but the missionaries escaped. Sight Protestant chapels were looted and de? stroyed. No Protestant converts were killed, so Far as is known, bur they were beaten and their houses pillaged. - MEASURES OF PROTECTION. The foreign residents at once took measures for protection. The steamers Appin and Maa chu were in port, and' as the fearful news spread, these steamers became the places of refuge for the foreign women and children. , The Manchu, with her own two guns, was quickly furnished with nine more, making a formidable battery for the protection of the settlement ibu community quickly formed a volunteer corps for the protection Of their property ashore, and all night the streets were patrolled. ; ? ' AK AMERICAN CONBUL, J. A. T. Meadows, was the only one who seem? ed to view the whole affair with unconcern. "He was evidently under the protection of his friend and employer, Chung, for be did not torn ont with the volunteers, and rather sneer? ed at tneir endeavors to protect their lives and property. When the rumor carno into town that Tseng-kwo-fan had been ordered down here by the Emperor, Mr. Meadows thou did show some excitement, as Chung's head look? ed cheap at any price to foreigners. PEARS OF THE CONSEQUENCE, The Chinese authorities, cowardly as they are cruel, have betrayed abject fear of the consequences of what they have done in many ways sines the dreadful occurrence took place. They have requested tho French Min? ister at Pekin to name his own terms for com? pensation. They have asked the Russian friends of the deceased here to name their compensation, but were properly aoawerad that they would know that from the Russian authorities. At Taku they had couriers wait? ing, and two boors before tbe arrival of the Opossum gunboat, on the 26th, her Majesty e Consul bad a letter requesting him not to al? low tha gunboat to dre upon the city. To-da again (27th) bis Excellency has asked the British Consul to apply for the aoling appoint? ment of French Consul, when the two could settle all matters between ' them.- Altogether it seems as if the native authorities had taken leave of their sensss.

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 bim. It affords me pleasure to express a favorable opinion of its safe and efficient 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 ClalntB '.a children and delicate females, I have een much pleased with its effects. I consider lt a vamable medicine in all 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. WRAOO, M. D~ CHABLESTON, S. C., 1868. Dear Slr-I have used your Soothing Cordial for Diarrhoea in teething children, and find lt a very excellent preparation. It hos a great advantage over most preparations of thc kind in containing no Opium or Narcotic. When these are required they can be added in proportions applicable to the case. I therefore can recommend its use in the affec? tions for which it ls designed. Respectfully yours, Ac, T. L. OQIER, M. D. CHARLESTON. S. C.. 1868. I certify that I have most successfully used RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial In the Summer Com? plaints of infants. He has fully exhibited the in? gredients of bis remedy, and the tedious method of preparation. 1 recognize the prescription containing no anodyne whatever-as a most safe and efficacious one 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 dir lon of anodyne. In the Diarrhoea of the aged, m increased doses, It ls of.great value as a remedy; never disagree? ing with the stomach-Increasing appetite, Im? proving digestion, and acting as a slow bat env nient astringent agent. j W. M. FITCH, M. D. MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., 1868. Afr. J. B. Bussell : DSAB SIB-I have used your Soothing Cordial for children extensively in my practice, and most cheerfully testify to its merits. I have focad lt, without an exception, to accomplish aU lt claims, and consf 1er it superior to anything in use for children. Its freedom from anodyne of any kind recom? mends lt as a perfectly safe preparation la the hands of mothers and inexperienced nurses. Very respectfully, Ac., D. R. WILLIAMS, M. D. Made by J. B.
