The North is seriously alarmed at tho intelligence -which it receives of the terrible destitution and want now existing in the South. This feeling might have fruitlessly died away, or have found its only expression in tho charity of individuals; but, thanks to the energetic exertions of one of our own ' citizens, says the Charleston Hees, there is now reason for believ? ing it highly probable that some scheme will be adopted for extending Government aid to the planters of the South. The gentleman referred to has been in Washington for some time, and we shall endeavor to show, as clearly as possible, what has been accomplished, and what remains to be done. Three plans of relief were submit? ted: 1. That Congress should authorize a loan of $30.000,000, to be lent in small sums to necessitous planters; the loan to bear 6 per cent, interest, and to be secured by mortgage cf thc land and a lien upon the crops of the h ar rowers; the loan to be distributed by local commissioners of approved position and standing. 2. That the Government should lend the Southern people an amount equal to the gross amonnt of revenue already received "by the United States from the cotton tax; the loan to be secured, issued, and distributed as under the first plan. 3. That the United States Govern? ment should sell the gold in the National Treasury, in excess of tho sum required to meet current de? mands, and lend the premium real? ized by its sale to the South, upon the terms and in the manner before named. The?e plans were fully discussed and explained in repeated conversa- : tions with the President, General Grant, Chief Justice Chase, Senator Harlan and General O. O. Howard. The President was heartily in favor j of some scheme for Southern relief, and would do all that he could to in- , sure its prompt adoption. General Grant said that he would, ( as Secretary of War, submit to Con? gress, immediately upon the re-as- , sembling of that body, a communi? cation earnestly recommending one of the plans submitted to bim and , already mentioned. Chief Justice Chase was very warm , in his expressions of solicitude for i the relief of the South. His support and that of his party adherents to a ! scheme of Government relief, is oon- ; sidered certain. Senator Harlan, of i Iowa, formerly Secretary of the Inte- 1 rior, likewise signified his approval of ; the project and his intention to sus? tain it in the United States Senate. Gea. Howard saw the necessity of relief of some character for the South, but expressed no opinion on the plans proposed. He urged, how? ever, a proper and generous distribu? tion of food'by the Government, so long as the necessity for its issue existed, the cost to be repaid after a certain time, and in the meanwhile to beseenred by a lien on the crops. Thus the matter stood when our fellow-citizen loft Washington; but, besides this, he did actually secure one most important result. Fending the action of Congress, and on ac? count of tho representations that ? have been mado to him, Gen. Howard I has taken steps for the immediate issue of food to all destitute persons, white and black, in the South, in aufficient quantities to avert actual m i fieri ng. This measure will doubt? less be the means of giving our poor people great and substantial relief. Every indication is now in favor of the speedy movement of Congress for the relief of the South, and as the radicals themselves do not refrain from urging - the expediency of Go? vernment assistance, it is likely that I Congressional notion will not long be : postponed. This may be but another sign of ^returning kindness and jus? tice, av?? the praqtice of charity will, after nil, bo the surest -way of accom? plishing true reconstruction. SPECIAL NOTICES. WHICH WOULD PREVAIL ?IV THOUSANDS OP HOUSE HOLDS ?-If it should bo suddenly announced through? out tho United States, Canadas, tho West Indies and Spanish America, that no more HOSTETTEB'S BITTERS would be manu? factured, and that henceforth tho grand specific for dyspepsia, and pr?ventive of all malarious diseases, would be lest to the world! The bilious, the feeble, tho despon? dent; tho traveler, tho voyager, tho miner, tho sodentary student; tho Bettler on the frontier of civilization; the toiler, cooped up in crowded city tenements; the conva? lescent, needing an invigorant; the shiver? ing victim of ague, and tho nervous of both boxes everywhere, would learn, with grief, too deep for words, that the most celebrated corrective, invigorant and alte? rative of the age, bad been blotted out of existence. AB a preparatory antidote to epidemio disease, a genial stimulant, a promoter of constitutional vigor, an appe? tizer, a stomachic, and a remedy for ner? vous debility, no medicinal preparation has ever attained the reputation of Bos tetter's Bitters. It is the household tonio of the American people-has been so for twenty yeare, and in all human probability will be so for centuries to come. The mag? nates of science recognize its merits; and that it is emphatically the medicine of the masses is proved by its vast and ever in? creasing sales._Jan 1 6f A COUGH, A COLD, OR A SORB THROAT, requires immediate attention, and should be chocked. If allowed to con? tinue, Irritation of the Lunga, a Perma? nent Throat Disease, or Consumption, ia often the result. BROWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES Having a direct influence to tho parts, give immediate relief. For BRONCHITIS, ASTH? MA, CATARRH, CONSUMPTIVE AND THROAT DISEASES, Troches are used with always good success.
