SEASON OP EXHAUSTION.-No matter how vigorous hy nat uro the system and tho constitution maybe, tlicy muet ne? cessarily suffer more or lesa from tho deplet? ing effects oftho tomperntnre of midsummer, unleea strengthened and sustained by whole? some tonip treatment. Thc extra prcaBuro upon the vital forces must bc mot and coun? terbalanced by an extra resistant power ; thc unusual and rapid consumption of tho animal fluide by profu'eo perspiration, must be com? pensated by the perfect digest ion and assimi? lation of tho food taken into tho stomach, from which both tho fluids and Bolids of tho body are derived. Othorwiso tho physical strength declines, and tho mind, sympathizing with the machinery through which it acts, be? comes depressed and enervated. A STIMULANT is therefore absolutely required at this season; not a violent one, calculated to produce febrile excitement, but something which will recruit and reinforce tho wholo organization in pro? portion to the extraordinary drain to which the torrid heat subjects it. This desideratum is supplied in a palatable and most efficient form in HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, which tho people of this country, after moro than twenty-five years' experience, havo aocepted and endorsed as the best tonio, alterativo and anti-bilious preparation which medical chemistry has yet succeeded in obtaining from the strength sustaining, healing and purifying products of tho vegetable kingdom. Every ingredient of this famous compound has its own specific virtue, and the result of their combination is the most genial invigorant, aperient and regu? lating medicino ever administered, cither as a preventive or cure of the disorders most com? mon in our variable, climate. Among these may be enumerated dyspepsia, biliousness, conetipation, fever and ague, nervous debility, and nil the ailments proceeding from imperfect digestion. A courBe of HOSTETTER'S BIT? TERS is the beat possible safeguard against the dangers which tneuao persons of both sexes, and all ages, during the heated term.

At tho annual convention of the stock? holders of the Columbia and Angustr Railroad Company, held in tho city o! Columbia, on tho 3d day of December, 1868, tho matter of consolidating tin two companies into one ns formally presented for the conside ttion of thc stockholders of that company by its Pro sidenl, who, on that occasion, in his an nual report, remarked, that as the inte rests and policy of these two corporation! were identical, it had been suggested lr many stockholders of each that it wooli be to the interest of both to have then consolidated into one company-that i would produce unity and concert in i moro extendod line, thereby renderini both more efficient for public conve nience and transportation, and great!; economize the expenses of admiuistorinj them separately. With these remarks substantially, h submitted the matter to the stockholdet for such consideration and action as the might deem proper. Thereupon, a d rector of that company submitted th following resolution, which was adoptei "Resolved, That so much of the Pm sident's report as refers to the consolidi tion of this and tho Charlotte and Sout Carolina Railroad Company, be referre to a special committee, who are reques ed to report immediately as to what n< cessary legislation may be required I allow the consolidation, if such sh oui bo found advisable." Under this resolution, a committee i five was appointed, who reported tin same afternoon, in substance, that ina i much as it may bo advisable for the company to become a party to the co Golidation suggested, they recommet that such legislation be obtained as w enable the two companies to effect tl consolidation, should the stockholde of the respective companies approve such consolidation. With this repoi tho committee submitted a draft of u b to be presented to the several Legis] tures of North Carolina, South Carolii and Georgia, for the purpose of ennblii and allowing the two companies to elle consolidation. This bill, with some fi slight amondmouts, passed the sevei Legislatures, and became a law. Hon? full legal authority, so far as legisluti enactment can furnish it, has been giv to these two companies to unite the selves into one and the same body corj rate. So much for the initiatory action the part of tho Col um Via uud Augui Railroad Company looking to consolh tion, and the consequent legislative tion thereon. Now for tho action which has bc had on the part of tho Charlotte a South Carolina Railroad Company, tho late stockholders' meetiue; of t company, held in the city of Coln ml on tho 21st day of April last, the folk ing resolution was unanimously adopt "Resolved, That this compauy reg; with favor tho proposed consolid?t with tho Columbia end Augusta Railn Company; und that a committee be i pointed to arrange with a like commit from the other company the terms consolidation, to be submitted for ral cation or rejection to meetings of I two companies, to be called in pursna of the Acts of the Legislatures of Gt gin, North Carolina and South Carob authorizing tho consolidation." And it was further resolved at same time, that tho committee she consist of six-three to be appointed tho Board of Directors, aud three by stockholders then in session. Un this authority, your committee was pointed ns tho representatives of company, to meet u similar com mi on tho part of tho Columbia and Aug Railroad Company, to arrange tho tails and terms of consolidation. Tho Joi it Committee mot at tho of Augusta, Georgia, on tho 27th da May last. Their meeting and delib tions were most pleasant and harm ous; aud after a full, free and somes protracted intorchnuge ol views opinions, wherein waa frankly discu all matters pertaining to the val no ol property of the two companies, tbel spective assets and liabilities, and relative aud comparative value of stock of tho two corporations, par larly the terms and auditions on w it would bo fair, equitable and just I yruinptiy aim launi?lJy attended to. the consolidation of the two companies to take place, unanimously agreed to the following resolution: Resolved, unanimously, by the Com? mittee appointed by tbe Chnrlotto and Kout h Carolina Railroad Company, and by the Committee appointed by tue Co? lumbia and Angust?; Railroad Company, That we recommend tbe consolidation of the two companies, and upon tbe follow? ing terms, to wit: Each shnro of stock in the Charlotte and ?South Carolina Railroad Company shall be converted into a share in the consolidated compa? ny; and every four and one-half shares of stock in tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company shall be converted into a share in tho consolidated compa? ny; and where, in the last named appor? tionment, fractions of a share may re? sult, tho owners thereof may, at their option, completo tho unit by paying for the necessary additional shares of Co? lumbia and Augusta Railroad stock at the rate of S12.50 per share, or they may rcoeive pay for their surplus shares at the same rate. Thus, it will bo perceived that the Joint Committeo concluded their labors not only in harmony but with entire una? nimity; and your Committee now in? dulge the hope that their action in the premises will meet with a hearty endorse? ment by this Convention of Stockhold? ers. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. R. ROBERTSON, Chairman of the Committeo on tho part of the C. & 8. O. R. R. Co. The meeting then adjourned until to? morrow morning. JOSEPH H.
