Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing complain of a tired, listless fooling, or complete exhaustion, on arising in thc morning. On tho wifo and mother de? volves tho responsibility of regulating the duties of tho household. Her cares are numerous, and thc mental as well as physical powers aro frequently called into requisition. Hbo often tinda her slightest occupation a weary task and existence a burdon, whilo at the hame time she has no regular disease HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS, if rceortod to at this period, will provo an unfailing remedy for this annoying lassitude. Tho effects of this potent agont are soon seen in the rosy cheek and elastic step of the hoad of the family, as with restored health and re? newed spirits she takes her accustomed place in tho family circle. If this friend in need be regularly used, those depressing symptoms will never bo complained of, and not only would lassitude not be expe? rienced, but many diseases following its I advent bo avoided.

It is freo from all pro? perties calculated to impair tho system, and its operations aro at once mild, sooth? ing and efficient.

The undersigned- beg to make au earnest appeal for aid in behalf of ? the Ladies' Industrial Association, of Columbia, South Carolina. The design of this benevolent society is to extend relief to a class to whom begging would bo worse than death, and who aro willing to work for a support. . The disastrous results of tho war baye reduced many formerly in aflluent circumstances to tlio most severo poverty. Ladies of refinement I and delicacy, and physically incapable of labor, must now support them? selves by their own lingers, or sink hopelessly into greater depths of povorty and distress. Tho society hus been iu existence for over two years, and has accom? plished much good.' But how much moro good would it accomplish could its pecuniary menus ho made at all commensurate with tho enlarged design of this charit}'. They need a building in which to carry on their efforts. Tho Association is well aware that all tho moans necessary to this end cannot bo expected entirely from our impoverished community, nor yet from our no less impoverished Stato; but thero aro sympathies heyond tho limits of either which Btill obey tho promptings of benevo? lence; there are bosoms that throb responsive to tho suflbrings of others. If God, in His great wisdom, hus seen fit to smite us, Ho bas given to many of our fellow mell enough and to sparc; and to such, too, He has given open bauds aud generous hearts. The ladies in our midst bavo accomplished great results from small beginnings, and they do not ask assistance elsewhere until we have shown a willingness at home to help ourselves. In this spirit, wo ask the assist? ance of this community; mid then wo proposo to ask assistance from abroad. Who will not give, and give freely, for this benevolent and noblo purpose? Wo feel that we shall not appeal in vain. Tho object will ho fully attained if those who givo will subscribo to pay in instalments, at such times within a year as may be perfectly conve? nient. Tho society hope to realize, in this way, such a sum as will place this charity not only upon a safo and permanent foundation, but extend its benefits to thousands who now ask "for work far beyond tho means of the society to famish.

Pope, J. li. Ptdmer and C. A. Pedell, Committee of Conference : GENTLEMEN : The Board of Managers of the Ladies' Industrial Asso? ciation, in compliance with your suggestion, take pleasure in laying before your Committoo tho following statement: Tho Association was organized iu November, I860. Its object waa to relieve, if possible, tko suffering which tho calamitous termination of tho war brought upon a large class who wero onco in circumstances of afilueuco or competence They did not ask for alms to buy their daily bread, but they asked for employmont. Impoverished ourselves, wo could not givo them what they nteded; but feeling that in union there is strength, we resolved to combine our efforts, and thus possibly accomplish something in tho way of aiding those of our sex who had been reduced to tho very last extremity. There wero those, too, to whom tho needle had always yielded a support; but, alas! their former patrons havo now to resort to thc same means for support. These, too, cried for work, work! With a membership of thirty ladies, each paying ono dollar por annum, we organized. But boforo commencing operations, Governor Orr placed in our hands $100 of tho sum which had been sent him by benevolent persons in Missouri for the destituto in our State. Thi3 wo considered an interposition of Providenco in o\ir favor; and, greatly encouraged, wo immediately bought up materials and distributed work to thoso who wero clamorous for employment. With a capital so meagre, wo could not expect to sustain our institution for any length of time. But as soon as "Aid Associations" were formed in New York, Philadelphia and Balti? more, wo sent them our circular, and asked for a portion of their funds. lu every instance our appeal met with a favorable response, and wo wero enabled to prosecute the undertaking with a good degree of success. And during tho year ending November, 18G7, wo supplied eighty persons, weekly, with work, and paid out of our treasury $1200. One great difficulty, howover, has met us at every step of our way. Our desolated city does not afford a market for tho goods wo manufac? ture, and it is only when tho kind ladies of Baltimore aro successful in disposing of what we send them, that any portion of our capital returns to us. And since tho winding up of tho "Aid Societies" at tho North, we havo been compelled to resort to various efforts to carry on our enterprise. But wo aro anxious to make the institution self-sustaining, and to placo it on a basis which will bo permanent. Tho day of adversity is not over. Tho "silver lining" of the dark cloud, which has over-shadowed our pros trato South ever since tho humiliating surrender, does not yet appear. Destitution and starvation, liko gaunt spectres, still] walk through our laud, and thero aro thoso iu our midst who, if deprived of husband or father, must resort to the necdlo for support. We will most gladly wel? come such to our depository, and not only extend to them our sympathies, but place in their hands the avails of honest industry, which will foster in them thc feeling of independence aud ensure thoir self-respect. Our incidental expenses increase with our growth, and wo feel tho necessity of asking counsel and co-operation of thoso to whom we aro accustomed to look in seasons of danger and want. We would have some plan devised which would ensure a more certain income than the extra? neous efforts wo have of lute felt compelled to make. It has been thought advisable by soweto solicit funds to build a depository. It is impossible for us to decido as to the judiciousness of such a step. Wc therefore sub? mit the suggestion to you, gentlemen. Counsel us-advise us. Wc rely upon your judgment-wo ave sure of your sympathy in this ns well as in every benevolent undertaking. Respectfully submitted by THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. Tile Xfgro Dittturbaiict'8 nt Wuslk- I i ii g ton. Tho riotous and murderous con? duct of tho blacks at Washington after tho charter election had result? ed in a radical victory, may well alarm tho country. It matters but little whether the first blow, which was the proximate, accidental cause of the riot, was struck by a white or by a black hand. All accounts seem to agree, however, that an inoffensive white man, a soldier, was tho first victim of negro violence. Cul across the ribs with a razor, ho died in a short time. Another white mnn was killed by a negro, who cut him across thc wrist with a razor, severing an artery. The house of a conservative Judge of election was entered and gutted by a negro mob, which was prevented only by tho strategy of a policeman from demolishing tho of? fice of tho National Intelligencer. Re? staurants wero stoned, forcibly en? tered and robbed. Tho windows of other buildings were broken, and tho wife of a police officer was struck on the shoulder by one of 'tho missiles. Throughout the city a largo number of negroes wero arrested, most of whom were found to bo armed with muskets, clubs and pistols, but, ns if indicating the savage ferocity of tho infuriated blacks, their favorite, wea? pon was fontal to be the razor. What strikes us, however, ns n still more horrible detail, is tho incendi? ary speech addressed to tho negro ! mob by Mr. Forney. Our corres? pondent, in Iiis hitter, which wo pub? lished yesterday, states that tho ex-Secrotury of tho tteuato told this mob that there wero two regiment-! of Lee's rebel troops in tho city with hostile intent against tho colored people. No lauguago can bo too strong in reprobation of such a direct appeal to tho worst passions of an ignorant and excitablo nico. Tts tendency to provoko dangerous, ii* not fatal, col? lisions between whites and black, is inevitable. Yet this is the tendency of thc entire policy of the Jacobin leaders of the dominant radical party. What Charles Lamb would kata classed among the imperfect sympathies between the two races, these blind leaders of the blind are trying their utmost to convert into cruel antipathies. Au infinity of painful consequences must eusue, culminating, if not providentially cheeked, in a repetition on a grander seale of the horrors of the St. Do? mingo massacre?. We firmly believe that both the former slaveholders of the South and their emancipated slaves would gradually have adapted themselves to their new relation to each other, reaping mutual advantages from it, if fanatical inter' meddlers had not wickedly Soten ute seeds of a dreadful conflict of races. Tho first fruits of this conflict are visible in tho recent, deplorable scenes at Washington. A full har? vest of destruction will bo tho final and torriblo result. [New York Herald. -?-#-?-? THE STORY OF WASHINGTON VS. THE STORY OF GRANT-THE ETHICS OF 177G vs. THE ETHICS OE 1808.-All remember tho story of Washington and tho chorry tree. The friends of Grant seek to "match" it thus: When Ulysses S. Grant was a little boy, his father bought him a hatchet. Ulysses was so delighted that ho went about hatcheting everything ho conk! lind. Ono fatal day, after things had been going on thus, and so, for moro than a week, Ulysses cut down ono of his father's favorito pear trees. When the old gentleman saw tho ruin of his favorito pear treo, ho went to U. S. and said: "U. S., who cut down my favorito pear tree?" "I cannot tell a li?1," said Ulysses, "lien. Johnson cut it down with his hatchot." "My dear son," said tho old gen? tleman, spanking him, "T would rather have you tell a thousand lies than loso so lino a tree."
