SUPPLEMENT . TO Columbia, Tuesday, December 4, '66. Correspondence. We have been requested to publish the following correspondence, which will explain itself. Wo commend it to the attention of our readers: COTJTJMBIA, Sept. 12j I860. To J. B. Campbell, Esq., of Charleston. DEAR Sin: Your name has been frequently mentioned, in connection with the names of several other ?worthy geutlemen, for the United States Senatorship in the ensuing vacancy, and I should be glad to be informed of your determination in t ic matter. Esteeming you highly as T do, and appreciating the extensive i ifluence which your very great I ability, enlightened and progressive j views will enable you to exercise for the good of our proud but severely troubled oki State, I should not feel at liberty to cast my suffrage for any one in*preference to yourself, ajad in t ii"?. I think, I but utter the senti? ment of the entire Delegation of Charleston. Pardon me, therefore, the inquiry at kthis early season, ami permit me to ^subscribe mysejf, most respectfully and truly yours. JOHN A. WAGENER. CHARLESTON, Nov. ?, 1SGG. Gen. John A. Wagener. MY DEAR SIR : I have already ac? knowledged receipt of your very kind letter of the 12th September, and now hand yon my answer. If yon have reason to believe that those who supported me last year generally desire it, you are at liberty to say that I will be a candidate for the United States Senatorship. I have just returned from "Wash? ington. Each visit there strength? ens my conviction of the importance it is to our people to have a represen? tative in frequent, if not constant at? tendance at that place. We have material, as well as political, interests upon wrhich our welfare rests. To both, tho presence of a representative is important. As a merely private citizen, I have been able to render very essential services. They were the voluntary and gratuitous services of one without public position; but they have not been without ample compensation in the .good they have done, and the pleasure they have given me. I think it a prevalent mistake to suppose that public and political, as web as personal, services may not be rendered hy our Representatives, even though unpaid, and excluded from Congress. Such opportunities and responsibilities are not likely tu be diminished at present. The elections, by reason of bad faith and selfishness of the old Demo? cratic organization, will result, I think, adversely to our hopes. It is, I think, to be regretted that we should have identified ourselves so far as we have with that party. I desire that my claims to the con? fidence of the public may bo urged onhf upon the ground that I am ca? pable and willing to serve South Car? olina in tlie day of her -adversity, while she has no recognized honors to bestow, save her confidence. I should gratefully receive and acknowledge that confidence which would call upon me to labor in her name and in her cause, until sk; may be restored, without shame or stain, to her ancient place, where and when she may again begin to award among her war-worn sons the honors that aro theirs. When that day shall come, I shall then neither seek or hold such honors, or any more be heard of in rivalry to serve her. With just such purposes, stimulated hy illusory assurances, which should have been truthful and sacred, I have once before been a candidate. These purposes are unchanged. I did not then complain of the adverse judgment passed upon me, nor ab? stain from her service because the State had declined to credit me. I do not expect to bear with less fortitude or cheerfulness the future than I have borne the past. I am, very truly, vcur friend and obedient servant, JAS. B. (JAMPBEL^ THADEUS STEVENS AND CONFISCA?

The preparation acts like a charm, curing the most insidious coughs as with magic pow er. Many citizens of Columbia have used it in their families, and with the most gra? tify ing success. It is a most innocent compound, having no nauseous drug or any ingredient that could possibly prove deleterious to the most feeble constitution. Even infants may take it with perfect safety, and it will soothe their little cough and ri-store them to ease and comfort. If yon are troubled with a cough, cold, hoarseness or impaired voice, try this pre? paration and be convinced of its etlicacy. It will cost you a mere trille, and save money and much suffering.
