Allen, Chester. Julias Poppa, Anderson C. H. 8. P. Einard, Newberry C. H. James Grant, Union. The CLucatlo? Before thc Country. The true question before the coun? try, -when every unimportant matter has been eliminated, is thus plainly stated by the New York Herald. Bead, learn and inwardly digest it. It is the naked truth: "Only one point in national poli? tics is open for the decision of the people. They aro to determine whe? ther the} will have the Constitution restored to full power and bo ruled according to its principles and provi? sions, or whether they will soo the whole fabric of our admirable system swept away as the rubbish of the war, aud hold their property and their rights, not uuder the guarantee of a supreme, recognized and known law, but by the sufferance nnd at the will of a knot of oligarchs-intole? rant, arrogant, rapacious and insa? tiable. There is no other issue of principle. All tho flourishes of plat? forms and all tho noisy activity of partizan8 aro in vain to cover up the fact that this at last is tho real dis? pute. Norean the cautiously written lotter of Grant, with its smooth pala? ver over the will of tho people, and its studied reticenco as to tho Consti? tution, divert public attention and lead the popular mind away from the thought that it is the Constitution and tho supremacy of tho law winch are at stake in tho Presidential con? test. He who ignores tho Constitu? tion in the letter in which ho accepts the nomination of a party for a con? test such as the present, indicates what ho understands the principles of his party to be, and declares his readiness to support them; so that the party and it* leader aro agreed to have as little said of thc Constitution as possible, to got it ont of tho way as quietly as possible, and to cover their delinquency with bouquets of pretty phrases about "tho will of tho people." AU, therefore, who ruin for Grant and the radicals vole for disor? der, disorganization, anarchy-rote for the abolition of the institutions of Go? vernment by which tho Republic grew to its great power-voto for carrying to ultimate results the revolutionary propaganda of Butler, Stevens und Sumner; and Ihetf who role against this party do what men ought to arrest the destructive tendeucy und restore to full authority the laws of the nation and lo guarantee, the rights of the peo? ple under those laws." TILE PUESHYTEUIAN REUNION*.-The New York Sun notes the fact that the Old School and tho Now School mmr, Presbyterian General Assemblies have both agreed to accept tho plan of reunion which has been under dis? cussion in those bodies, and to sub? mit it to tho approval of tho Presby? teries throughout the United States. The editor says: "There, is but little doubt that this approval will bo almost unanimously given, as the great mass of tho deno? mination u?o in favor of healing tho existing breach between its two prin? cipal divisions. Whether the smaller bodies, such as tho Reformed aud tho United Presbyterians, will also con? sent in this movement, is lesscertaiu. But, even if they should declino to do so, the consolidation which will be Affected will still bo of immense importance, aud highly gratifying to all lovers of peace and concord among Christian brethren." Democratic clubs have beou formed' at Rock Spring Church and Mount ZioD, in Pickens District; at Colum? bia Church in Greenville District; and at Doaaldsville, Union Academy and Lowndesvillc, in Abbeville Dis? trict. Abyssinia. GEN. NAPIER'S GENERAL ORDER DESTRUCTION OF MAGDALA.-The fol? lowing general order of Gen. Napier was read to the English army before continuing the march from Talanta plateau, seaward: SOLDIERS OF THE ARMY OF ART3 SINIA: The Queen and the people of England entrusted to you a very arduous and difficult expedition, to release our countrymen from a long and painful captivity, and to vindi? cate the honor of our country, which had been outraged by Theodoras, King of Abyssinia. I congratulate you with all my heart on tho noble way in which you have fulfilled tho command of our sovereign. You have traversed, ofteu under a tropi? cal sun or amid storms of rain and sleet, four hundred miles of moun? tainous and difficult country. You have crossed many steep and pre? cipitous ranges of mountains more than ten thousand feet iu altitude, where your supplies could not keep pace with yon. When you arrived within reach of your enemy, though with scanty food, and somo of you for many hours without either food or water, in four days you passed the formidable chasm of the Bashilo, and defeated tho army of Theodoras, which poured down upon you from their lofty fortress iu full confidence of victory. A host of many thou? sands have laid down their arms at your feet. You have captnred and destroyed upwards of thirty pieces of artillery, many of great weight aud efficiency, with ample stores of am? munition. You have stormed thc almost inaccessible Fortress of Mag? dala, defended by Theodorus with the desperate remnant of his chiefs and followers. After yon forced thc entrance, Theodorus, who uevei showed mercy, distrusted thc offei of mercy held out to him, and died by his own hand. You have released uot only tho British captives, bul thoso of other friendly nations. Yoi have unloosed tho chains of mor? than ninety of the principal chief; of Abyssinia. Magdala, on whicl so many victims havo been slaughter ed, has been committed to the llames and remains only a scorched rock Our complete nud rapid success i due, first, to the mercy God, whos hand, I feel assured, has been ove? ns in a just cause. Secondly, to th high, spirit with which you have beni inspired. Indian soldiers have for gottuu tho prejudices of rac? au? creed to keep puce with their Eur? peau comrades. Never hus an arm, entered on a war with moro honora bio feelings than yours; this lia carried you through many fatigue and difficulties; you have been oui eager for the moment when yo could closo with your enemy. Th remembrance of your privations wi pass away quickly, but your gallar exploit will live in history. Th Queen and the people of Englnn will appreciate your services. O my part, as your commander, I than you for your devotion to your dut and tho good discipline you ha\ maintained. Not a single complan lias been made against a soldier ( fields injured or villagers wilful molested in person or property. \\ must not forget what is duo to 01 comrades who have been lnhorii for us in the sultry climate of Zoo and the pass of Kooniaylee, or in tl monotony of tho posts which lui' maintained our commuuicutio Each und all would have given ? they possessed to bo with us. B they deserve our gratitude. I sin walch over your safety to the tu ment of your re embarkation, and the end of my life remember wi pride that I have commanded you. Ii. NAPIER, Lieut. Gen., Commander-in-Chief. CAMI' DELSULO, April 20, 18G8. The following is a description the destruction of Magdala: Two days after, orders were giv that the fortress should bo destroy and burned, and to the. Royal I ginenrs, under the direction of Cu Goodfcllow, tho task was assigtx Before they commenced on tho wc of destruction your correspond? rode up to take a iiuul look nt I chamber of horrors, tho palaces, I harems, tho treasure houses, t church, and other scenes of inter within. At 3 o'clock P. M., on I 17th inst., tho Thofnsbun gate, cc rounding tho Southern apprnu was blown up, and as the eugine retreated Northward, each house < Bet on fire. A strong Easterly w sot in, which aided tho efforts destruction, and soon nil Mage fros in llames. About three thoust nouses were burning, shells w bursting, magazines, loaded g and pistols exploded, and project flew in every direction. It wu porfeot sea of fire set in the hoavi the flames rolled in crimson wi mr over the cliffs; burning rafters like fiery swords were swept over tho heights into tho awful abyss below, setting fire to tho brushwood on the slopes, with every green thing, even fur down into tho valley. Thero was a trail of firo scon hastening toward Suluigini, each straw tent adding fuel and extending the awful world of fire on to Sulasse, Falle and the Arogi valley. The sheep that browsed on the hills, the dogs that still liugcred on tho threshhold of their masters' dwellings, the chickens about going to roost, were all con? sumed by tho very waves that swept over tho heights. The stench from tho holocaust was frightful. Over five hundred human bodies must have been consumed by the surging mass of fire, which destroyed Mag? dala and the neighboring villages. Even tho church wherein Theodorus was buried, which Gen. Napier had hoped to save, was also destroyed by the devouring element. The Gallas and the people of Shoa hastened to the edge of the opposite plateau, to witness tho swift destruction which had overtaken the Aimba and its garrison, that had so long defied and held thom at bay.

Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing, complain of a tired, listless feeling, or | complote exhaustion, on arising in tho morning. On tho wife and mother de? volves tho responsibility of regulating tho \ duties of tho household.
