New? from Liberia.
William Rose, the body servant of
(Jen. Maxcy Gregg, who weut to
Liberia on the Golconda with Miss
Gregg, has lately returned to his
nativo State, and has furnished us
with some interesting facta connected
with that country. Ho represents
Liberia as being capable of pro?
ducing everything that is used by
man, but the enervating climate bas
prevented the colonists from improv?
ing these natural advantages. To?
bacco, lumber, meat, Atc, ore im?
ported extensively, though the forests
abound in the most valuable woods,
and the country is capable of pro?
ducing tho finest description of to?
bacco, while cattle could be raised
with ease when once acclimated. At
Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, the
colored merchants are doing well,
their trade extending through Africa.
They barter with the natives for
palm oil, which is sold to the vessels
at from twenty-seven and a half to
forty.cents per gallon. About 2,000
bags of coffee are exported yearly to
England, where, indeed, most of tho
products aro sent. Rice, cottou,
coffee and vegetables are grown tu a
limited extent, bnt are used mostly
for home oonsnmption, the natives
and colonists gaining a living with
snch easo that they do not exert
themselves. The palm oil ia pro?
duced from the nuts of the palm
tree, which grows luxuriantly, and,
as it is easily manufactured, little
Oare is taken to develop the agri?
cultura'! resouroes of tho country.
The climate ia not warmer than a
summer in South Carolina, but there
is no winter, and water-melons, Irish
potatoes and other vegetables ?ripen
in January. Irish potatoes aro first
planted from the out-eye, as in this
conntry, but this growth produces
only a small seed about tho size of a
marble, and the potato is raised from
the vines, mnoh as sweet potatoes
and "slips" hero.
The Colonization Society furnishes
each new comer with ten acres of
land, a house and rations for six
months, with a doctor und nurse
while sick during that time. Labor
can be obtained for from forty to
seventy cents per day. and mechanics'
vages are from 61.00 a Si.5J per
day in Liberian currency. This our
reuoy (copper and paper) passes from
Capo Palmas to Monrovia, and is
very much depreciated, being worth
about fifty cents on the dollar. It
is made in England.
The natives have boen greatly im?
proved by contact with the colonists,
and the efforts of the missionaries to
instil tho doctrines of Christianity
have mot with some success. Sove
rnl of the natives have "professed
religion," and two of them are mis?
sionaries, one bolonging to the Bap?
tist and tlio other to the Presbyterian
denomination. Miss Gregg is touch?
ing tho natives at Monrovia, where
there is a largo mission station. Our
informant states that the great draw?
back to immigration is tlie African
fover, which invariubly attucks all
stranger*, nnd few recover unless the
greatest care is taken. Once ac?
climated, the climate has no terrors
to the colonist, nod if he uses only a
moderato degree of energy, he can
secure n comfortable support Many
of tho older colonists have acquired
considerable wealth by trading with
the natives and the Teasels that visit
the different ports. Most of those
who went from South Carolina are
doing well, though they generally
yield to the influenco of the hot cli?
mate and become os lazy as the na?
tives.
One of tho most singular features
of the country is tho absence of cat?
tle of every description. Horses are
extremely rare, tbe riding being
don A in palanquins berne by sisn.
There are also very few persons who
ruiso horned cattle, though frequent
attempts have been made to intro?
duce them from abroad, but they are
seldom acclimated. Corned beef and
pickled pork are imported from Now
York which, with tho rico raised on
the spot, constitutes thu food of the
majority of tho settlers.
William lioso was the body servant
of Gen. Gregg, and was with him
when he was killed at tho battlo of
Frodericksburg. He wears tho Gene?
ral's gold watch, which was present?
ed to him as a testimonial of esteem
by Miss Gregg. Tho inner case of
the watch bears an inscription stat?
ing this fact. Bose went to Liberia
with Miss Gregg, but was taken with
the African fever, and determined to
como back to South Curolina, where
he expects to remain. While he
docs not discourage emigration, he
feels confident that only those pos?
sessing strong constitutions and
temperate habits, can succeed. Na?
ture hos been lavish of her treasures,
but they are for tho most part ne?
glected, and though the country
produces the finest woods, gold,
ivory, ?ko., they will nover be ex?
ported to any largo extent.

DEBILITY AND EMACIATION
Both rceult from the lack of ability to con?
vert the food into nutriment. How neces?
sary, then, for those suffering from these
alarming symptoms to immediately resort
to a remedy that will strengthen tho stom?
ach and digestive organs. For, as soon as
this desirable object has been accom?
plished, tho health improves, and the pa?
tient resumes Iiis usual personal appear?
ance.
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
have attained a world-wide popularity in
euch cases, and havo been proven the best
and safest moans of removing constipa?
tion, toning the stomach, giving onergy to
tho liver and rolieving every symptom of
nervousness and depression of spirits.
Itu cheering and b?n?ficiai effects are
highly spoken of by thousands, who owe
te it their restoration to health. No resto?
rative in tho annals of medicine has at?
tained tho same popularity in tho short
space of time it has benn before tho pub
lie, or has won tho high endorsements
accorded to this excellent tonic. Many
other preparations, purporting to be cor?
rectives and restoratives, have been intro?
duced, and havo perished one by one,
while the popularity of Hostetter's Stom?
ach Bitters continues to increaso, and is
now recognized as a standard household
medicine. Tho success which attends tho
uso of thc Bittors evinces at once its vir?
tues in all cases of debility and diseases of
tho stomach. Certificates, almost without
number, have been published, attesting
its truly miraculous powor in removing
those painful and fearful diseases. And at
thia time it seems idle to do more than
call attention to tho great remedy of tho
agc, in order to awaken public attention to
ita excellence, lt ia tho only preparation
of tho kind that ia reliable in all caeca,
and it ia therefore worthy ol' the conaide
ration of tho afflicted. Jan 29 6j_
PANKNIN'SjHEr ATIC BITTERS are
rapidly gaining in public esteem. They
aro decidedly the most excellent Vegetable
Tonic yet discovered for the euro of gene?
ral dobility and disorders of tho stomach
or liver. Those who havo used them pro
nounco thom to bo all that ia claimed for
them. For salo by all druggiata.
