COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, Jnly 30. 1869. "A FIGHT FOB A CUSTOM HOUSE-RA? DICAL SCRAMBLE FOB TUE SPOILS.-The radical scramble for the spoils connected with the Charleston Custom House, ac counts of which we hare given, are dis? graceful to all concerned. It was simply a fight among radicale for possession of public plunder, and, no matter who were engaged in it, it iasafe to blame all nanda when such proceedings were allowed to occur aft alt The late Collector is, we believe, o nntivo of the South, was au unflinching Union man during the war, and this subject of the moat virulent per? secution at the hands of the rebel South Carolinians. He sacrificed a fortune for the oanse, and probably at this day has aa many, bitter enemies in,Charleston as any man who fought in the Union armies. The new Collector's war record ia not very lamin?os, being that of an army antler from Massachusetts; but it is jost to aay that he can, no doubt, take the iron-clad or any other oath, so far as loyalty is concerned, witb a clear con? science. Bat it ie the fighting about the spoils that atampa the whole affair with shame, and if aaoh proceedings continue they will stamp the Republican party with dishonor, drive respectable men from its ranks and inevitably lead to ita ultimate and complete disruption." Wo copy tho above from the Kew York Herald. In the main, it ia substantial in its statements; some trifling inaccuracies wo propose to correct. The late Collec? tor may have been ' 'an unflinching Union man" daring the war; it is possible, but beyond bis notorious Masonic relations, Dr. Mackey's name was, we venture to say, to the people of South Carolina, a thing unknown. If he did "sacrifice a fortune"-and we confess to scepticism to the existence of the said fortune-it no doubt has been amply replaced by the rich fruits of his recent office. The "pnroooutiona" whioli be endured from the "rebel Carolinians," originate and exist entirely in the fancy of the Herald. Dr. Mackey has many "bitter enemies," not only "in Charleston," bnt in the State of Sooth. Carolina, who entertain the most inveterate contempt and dis? gust for a vile scalawag and Southern renegade. The new Collector's "war re? cord," we are not prepared to examine; the chart of his life can scarcely be worse than Mackey's; assuming that it is, wc believe that it is the general and common election, to prefer the foreign to the do? mestic pillager. We argue with the Herald, "it ia a fight for spoils;" and we apprehend if "respectable men" could have beon "driven frc * the radical party" by such and sil ar "shameful proceedings," it would long since have been depleted by the conduct of their party office-holders in the South. Col. W. H. Campbell, of Greenville, has boon on a lecturing tour through several Southern cities, and has been highly commended by tho press-many of the papers comparing him to Thack? eray and othor distinguished lecturers. The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin saj's: "COL. CAMTBELL'S LECTURE ON 'MAC? BETH.'-Public patronage is not unfre quently invoked in behalf of intellectual attainments, at which public apprecia? tion as often fails to be excited and public anticipation -ealized. The cant phraseology of newspaper paragraphs commonly raises the hope of a mental fe.ist, or rich literary treat, by a prodigal expenditure of praises, which is os often dashed by a non-fulfillment of the pro? mise. It affords us, therefore, unusual nleasure to announce that the lecture of Col. W. H. Campbell, of South Carolina, delivered at Lyceum Hall, was not only a success in nn elocutionary poiut of view, but ns a scholarly and rhetorical effort corroborative of the prestige) and reputation of the orator. Full of vigor? ous thought and suggestive conception, it was marked by original ideas, embo? died in terse and sententious expression, relieved, ns should only be the treatment of a severe philosophic thesis, by occa? sional flashes of bright imagery. "The historical sketch of Macbeth, although cursorily drawn, was not only singularly accurate, but AS completo as its relevancy required. The defence of Lady Macbeth against the vulgar belief of her being nn execrable fiend, full of bad passions nnd bloody purposes, was eloquently sustained by excerpts from the play, quoted in recitative by the lec? turer, with much dramatic power and effect. Bnt it is a misapplication of the term to call this exposition of the charac? ter of Macbeth a lecture. We rather in? cline to stamp it as an analytic review of tho play, in which the salient-fentures of the piece and its leading personages wore so critically scrutiuized that wo actually compassed the operation of tho machine? ry of the ono and detected the secret motives and impulses of the other. In fact, the skill of the artist succeeded in giving us a mimetic representation of this splendid tragedy, said to be only second to the Eumenides of jEsohylus. The arrangement and development of tho disquisition was such as to present to the mental eyo of the audience a panoramic view of the scenes and incidents of the stage original, rendered, if we may use the expression, somewhat realistio by the declamatory interludes aud interlocutory dialogues iutroduoed by way of illustra? tion." __Au^Austriau editor has been finod for tolling lies about Andrew Johnson. What would become of all the radical editora if that wns thc rule in this country? Meeting of County CommImtoncr?. Ootiri?MA. S. O., July 29. 1869. A convention of th? County Commis? sioners mot at Niokerson Hotel on the 28th inst., for tho purpose of taking into oonsideaation the pres?at to wu sh rp law. with its great burden, and other matters concerning the duties and jurisdiction of County Commissioners. The meeting was. organized .by .calling Mr. Frank Arnim to the Chair; and Mr. W. H. Taggot was roqu estetf to Bet as Secretary. Mr. Feritcr was asked to take tho Chair, and Mr. Arnim entered into the discussion of the different subjects be? fore the meeting. The following, resolutions were adopt? ed: Resolved, That the State Auditors be requested to consult the County Com? missioners for the names of suitable per? sons for assessors. Resolved, That Mr. MoLangliu be ap? pointed Corresponding Secretary, and that be communicate, with all County Commissioners, relative to the impor? tance of another meeting, for the pur? pose of signing a memorial to the Gene? ral Assembly, to repeal or suspend the present township law, and for other pur? poses. Resolved, That when this body ad? journs, it adjourns to meet again on the first Wednesday in October next. NEW GREENBACK DOLLARS.-The Trea? sury Department, it is stated, will soon issue new United States notes of tho de? nomination of one and two dollars, Ibo plates for which are now being engraved. The new ono dollar notes will have a vig? nette of Washington and a repr?sentation of tho discovery of America by Columbus on the face, instead of tho vignetto of Chief Justice Chase, as on those now iu use. The new two dollar notes will have a vignette of Jefferson and a view of the capitol, instead of a vignette of Franklin, on tho present ones. The plates for these notes have already been engraved at tho Treasury Department. The designs for the new fives, tons, twenties and other denominations have not yet boen determined upon. WELL SAID.-The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel speaks thus: "Since the re? construction of South Carolina and the establishment of negro government, the white people of Edgefleld County, though all of them ardent Democrats, and, ns such, bitterly opposed to tho possession of tho State being turned over to a race of ignorant negroes and u few infamous carpet-baggers and scalawags, bnvc been among the most quiet and law abiding citizens of the State. Though nearly all of the younger men of the Couuty were in the Confederate army where many of their number wero slain -and were not disposed to look very kindlj' upon the new order of things, yet, restrained by the exnmplo and ad? vice of such men as Bonham, Gary and Butler, who were their Generals during tho war, they have carefully refrained from doing anything which would give to their enemies a pretext to oppress them. But it appears that their good conduct has been of no avail and that the miserable tyrant, Scott, und his un? derlings have determined to drive, them to desperation." SALE or A PLANTATION.-Wo aro iu formod that two English gentlemen, Messrs. John B. Bogersand John Owens, have purchased from Mr. T. C. Richard? son, the Bloomhill plantation, about 4,000 acres. Bloomhill is a few miles from Manchester, on tho Wateree River. It is a placo of considernblo historic in? terest. During tho Revolution, it was owned by Gen. Wm. Richardson, and was the headquarters of Gen. Greene, also at different periods of Gens. Corn? wallis and Rawdon. A body of Tories was attacked by patriots at Shank's Creek, in tho neighborhood. During the recent war, it was at tl:is place that the flap: of truce reached Gen. Rotter, and terminated hostilities, just in time to savo another useless battle. [Sumter News. CHARLOTTE, COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD.-The severe rain storm of yesterday washed away several of the culverts on the line of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, be? tween this city and Graniteville. Owing to this fact tho passenger train on that road did not reach the city yesterday evening, but stopped at a point two miles from the city, where tho passen? gers wero transferred to a train of plat? form cars and brought to Augusta. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN IN SIX DAYS. A palace car, full of passengers, that loft San Francisco less than a week ago, ar? rived ut New York on Saturday moruiog, thus traversing the whole continent in tho short space of six days. Somo of the passengers who came in it embarked on Saturday afternoon for Europe, and may arrive in Liverpool in niuo days more, thus traversing the whole distauco from tho shores of California to the shores of England in fifteen days. The new railroad between Newark, N. J., and New York was formally opened on July 28d. The travel between New? ark and New York is very great, this being the third railroad in operation be? tween the two points. The new road is seven and a half miles long, and has cost over $2,000,000. It has twonty-seven bridgos, solidly constructed of iron and masonry, twenty of which cross tho streets of Newark. A young man named J. C. Creswell, who ruined a lady of EJgefield District, South Carolina, was pursued by her brother to the upper part of the State and killed.-Savannah Republican. The radical press of Virginia call co? lored men "niggers" sines the election. That's a mild retaliation upon the color? ed gentlemen for so t borough ly thrashing the radicals. Two Misses Turner, of Charlestown, Mass., visiting in Auburn, Maine, and two ROUS nf the ROT. Mr. Libby, of Au? burn, were drowned in Lake Auburn on Saturday afternoon. They weira oat. in a row-boat, which sunk .Two other per? sons who were in the boat escaped. Mike Dougherty, a laborer at Elm? wood Cemetery, Memphis, Tenn.,, was shot and killed by Will Stevens yester? day afternoon. Dougherty was trying to prevent Stevens shooting Mr. Hill, Su? perintendent of the Cemetery, when he received the fatal shot. The affair grew out of refusal to assist in digging a grave. THE SEASON* IN INDIA.-A correspond? ent of the London Times, writing from Calcutta, Jape 21, says the beat bas been unexampled in India this Reason, and has stricken down many an English soldier and ofliclal, and many an Asiatic with apoplexy and cholera, while famine has done no little evil in the native States. Villages in some of the States have been swept by cholera, and the Marwarees, straggling along the road on their return to Raj poo tana, have left their dead on the highway. ElCHEIiBEBOEn GONE TO ATLANTA. We have been informed that on Monday night Eichelberger, the scalawag coroner and commandant of the negro militia of Edgefield County, S. C., left on tho Georgia Railroad for Atlanta. Eichel? berger was in this oity for several days, but no one was ablo to ascertain the ob? ject of his visit. It is now said that he has gone to Atlanta for tbe purpose of having an interview with Bullock, and getting the latter to adopt measures to restrain the Augusta Ku Klux from at? tacking the negro militia which aro to be stationed in Hamburg. Two Federal soldiers are reported to have been the incendiary's escort to the capital. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, says a Washington despatch to the Now York Herald, arrived here yesterday. He is very sanguine of the success of tho conservative ticket at the approaching election in that State. Jndge Dent, he says, will undoubtedly receive the nomi? nation for Governor from the conserva? tive convention, which it is expected will meet in September. It is thought the radicals will nominate James L. Alcorn, a native Mississippian, who formerly re? presented the State in the United States Senate. Sharkey, who is regarded asan extreme man of tho State rights school, says tho people of Mississippi are anxious to get back into the Union, and although under other circumstances they would not, perhaps, take a Republican like Judge Dent, yet they aro compelled to choose betweeu a moderate man like him and thc extreme radicals, and of the two evils they think they will take thc least. The Mississippi politicians, of whom Governor Sharkey is a type, have concluded that it is wise policy for them to follow tho example of Virginia, aud not only get into tho Uuiou, but obtain control of their own State affairs. The Governor thinks tho Mississippi ne? groes will voto tho conservativo ticket in about the same proportion as they did iu Virginia. He says they aro gradually dropping off from tho radio?ls, and with the assuranco that their rights will bo protected, prefer, as a rule, to go with their old masters. Ho expresses some fear that General Ames, who, he says, is a violent radical, will usc his influence and power as military commander to de? feat tho conservatives, unless ho is cau? tioned on that point by President Grant. THE AIMS OF THE VIRGINIA CONSERVA? TIVES.-Tho Washington correspondent of tho New York Journal of Conn erce says that a distinguished Republican po? litician of Ohio, who has just roturned from a tour through Virginia, gives the following report: "At White Sulphur Springs, aud other places, he met many of the most distin? guished politicians of tho Old Dominion, and from them he believes ho has gathered tho real sentiment and inten? tions of tho successful party in tho late election. Among these representative men were Franklin Stearns, Baldwin, Thomas Flournoy, Lieuteuant-Govemor Lewis Aylett, R. T. Daniel (Chairman ?tate Committee) and others. These men assert that tho Walker party, with which they are allied, has no sympathy with the old Democratic party of Vir? ginia; that that party is defunct, and that it is the sincere desire and intention of the conservative element of the State, led by Walker, to form an integral part of tho great Republican party, and that they hope they will not be driven from the stand they have taken by any dis? couraging action upon tho part of tho Republicans of the North. "So far as tho belief that tho old Vir? ginians aro hostile to Northern emigra? tion to the State is concerned, they state it resolvos itself into tho simple question whether emigrants como to identify themselves permanently with the inte? rests of tho State or to seek political ad? vancement. To the former class, those who como with ability or capital to build up the permanent interests of Virginia, they extend a most cordial invitation, and will give them such social and ma? terial recognition as lies in their power. With the latter they wish nothing to do, or, to uso their Southern expression, they 'have no use for them.' Thesemen believe that, restored to thu Union under the influences of the Republican party, .Virginia has before her the most hope? ful future of any Southern State, and not inferior to that of any common? wealth in the nation. Arrangements are being made by the State Agricultural Society to disseminate a knowledge of the resources of the State, with a view of securing for her tho greatest possible immigration. Artificial Beauty. In a recent trial in London, Madame Rachel, the celebrated female enameler, put in an affidavit, in which, among other things, she testified as follows: Since my removal to Bond street I have had, and still have, much patron? age and custom from the nobility and aristocracy generally, and I obtain a high rate of remuneration for the services rendered, and high prices for the articles which I supply. In 1866, an offer WOB ipade to me to go to Am erie? to establish a business there, and my attorney ar? ranged to accompany me as my legal ad? visee and general manager, but owing to a serious accident in Paris, by which I was dangerously injured, tho offer could not be accepted, nor the arrangement carried out. Mrs. Mary Tucker Borrodailc first be? came one of my customers twenty years ago, when she was the wife of an Indian officer; and during the time she was in India with her husband, I supplied her both with articles of clothing and in thc way of my trade and business. lu May, 1866, Mrs. Borrodaile wus de? sirous of being enamelled by me, for which my fee is, and hos boen for mauy years, 1,000 guineas, and she proposed to give me her acceptance for ?1,000, payable at Messrs. Grindley's bank, but not including the odd ?50 which it is al? ways understood is to be given to tho poor by my customer or myself, and which Mrs. Borrodaile elected to pay on her own uccount. From the representa? tion I received frcm my attorney, I con? sented to toke her acceptance, and Mrs. Borrodaile went through the entire pro? cess of enamelling and beautifying. She at that time had scarcely any hair on her head, except here and there rusty grey patches, and her skin was in n frightful state of eruption from disease of many years' standing, which had caused her the loss of her teeth. Her two sets of teeth she ordered of Mr. Eskcll, dentist, of Hanover square, aud for these I have already paid fifty guineas on her acconnt, leaving ton guineas still duo on thnt ac? count. She now bas a head of beautiful natural golden hair, by my process of re? storation, and her skin bas become young and fresh, and perfectly healthy. On the 10th of June, 1866, I lent Mrs. Borrodaile $500 in cash, for which I took a receipt nnd her bill at a month. Both acceptances were dishonored, and, al? though I handed them over to my attor? ney to recover the amounts, I have never, to my knowledge, been paid, although, on the 5th of July, I860, Mrs. Borrodaile sold out, through tho attorney, $068 stock for that purpose. On the 14th of July, 1866, I sold Mrs. Borrodnilo jewelry to the amount of ?50, for which she gave mo bor IOU, and, although I handed it over to the attor? ney for him to get paid, I have not re? ceived tho money. At tho performance of "Dora," the other night, in a Western city, when Mary Morrison made ber exit to bring on her little Willie of four years, she was shocked to find a lubberly boy of at least fourteen; and as he was the only Willie at hand, on he must go, though he was well nigh as big as his mother. Tho Farmer Allen of tho play, being equal to tho emergency, instead of in? quiring "How old are you, my littlo mau?" endeavored to remedy tho matter by saying "How old aro you, ni y strap? ping boy?" But he failed; for tho boy, who was instructed to say "from four to six," said it in such a coarse, sepulchral tkmo as to drive tho good-natured grand-father to exclaim "Forty-six! You look it, my boy, you look iL 1" INTENSE HEAT.-At Colusa, California, on tho 28th of Juno, the thermometer indicated 110 degrees in tho shade at mid-day, aud ninety-two degrees at mid? night. But that was nothing to the heat at "Rattlesnake Bar" on the some doy, where the thermometer stood at 118 degrees. The unusual hot weather this season has injured the grape vines in some places. Tho New York Herald, ot Sunday, in its money report for the day before, re? marks: "In Southern securities there was an activo demand for the new North Carolinas. South Carolinas were dull and heavy, tho recent loan of tho State credit for tho nine millions to the Blue Ridge Railroad not being favorably re? garded." BURNED TO DEATH.-A despatch dated Alexandria, Egypt, July 3, says: "A very ead accident occurred in Cairo, a few days ago. Miss Hart, a lady connected with the American mission, and her two servants were burned to death by the sudden ignition of a can of parafiue. " A Washington correspondent states that a German banker bas offered to loan tho Government $300,000,000 at fivu per ceut., but Mr. Boutwell has de? clined it, as ho has reason to believe that he can next winter borrow money onough at four and a half per cent, to tako up the five-twenties now due. The most dangerous counterfeit of an internal rovenuo stamp yet discovered was received yesterday ot tho Rovenuo Bureau in Washington, from Keokuk, Iowa. It is a twenty-one pound tobacco stamp, valued at thirty-two cents. DECEASED.-James W. Dempsey, of Boston, who lost an arm in the engage? ment between tho Kearsargo and the Alabama, and tho last survivor of the wounded among the Kearsarge crow, died in that city on Saturday night. On Monday last, Mrs. Malloy, a lady who was visiting Captain Reynolds, at Naohez, Miss., fell from the door of Cap? tain Reynolds' residence, to the pave? ment, and died almost instantly. Private and somi-official information from the PhiUipine Islands has been received at Washington of a tbroatoned formidable insurrection tbero against the Spanish authority. Tho Philadelphia Inquirer, in describ? ing tho fall of real estate in that city, Bays that "never before, sinoe 1861, were vacant houses so plentiful in Phila? delphia." ooal Items. Tho concert by tho Post Baud, nu* nonnced for this evening, has been post? poned On til Friday evening, August 6. MERCANTILE PRINTING.-All kinds of mercantile printing, such as circulars, letter heads, cards, bill heads, state? ments, &c, for counting-rooms and offices, promptly attented toot the Phoe? nix job office. The PHCENIX appears thia morning in its usual form and size. Our readers, we are confident, will excuse the temporary derangement. We shall endeavor to avoid such accidents in future. Wo are called upon to report the death of Charles A. Carrington, ono of the most estimable young citizens of Columbia. But a few months since, his family sustained a sad loss in tho death of bis brother, D. B. Carrington, by thc falling of the wall at the lire in Gregg's building, nnd by this recent affliction havo lost their last and only son. Charles Carrington was universally respected for his business capacity, aud esteemed by all for his fine qualities of heart and mind. Wo have received a lettor from Mr. Oppenheim, (who has charge of a board? ing house on Sullivan's Island,) relativo to au item published in the PHONIX, of thc ISth ult.-in which it was stated that a gentleman was charged au extra high amount for a night's lodging. Mr. O. iusists that a contract had boan mnde through a friend of the boarder; and that he simply carried out tho ngree mcut. He furthermore declares that tho statement relative to measles in tho house was incorrect. THE COMING AGRICULTURAL FAIR IN COLUMBIA.-Tho following circular ex? plains itself satisfactorily to all. Our farmers and planters will do their duty in tho premises with liberal and enlight? ened spirit. Let us do our duty, and our people need not go North, West or further South, to look for thc laud of promise: COLUMBIA, S. C., July 14, 18G9. SIR: The Executive Committee of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mecha? nical Society haviug mado the necessary arrangements for tho unuual fair to be held ia Columbia, ou tho second Wednesday injNovomber next, now ap? peal to their fellow-citizens to moko the movement a success. The development of the material inte? rests of the State is conceded to bo a mutter of importances. It concerns the dignity as well ns the general welfare of thu people whom wo represent that all their resources should be fully evoked. Wo have broken fortuues to retrieve, ruined industries to revive, and a just influence to regain. To accomplish this end, the necessity is upon us, to move ont upon the industrial arena and secure tho reward of energy, skill and activity. J As *? means to this end, citizens of the State representing that portion of its capital and intelligence devotod to indus? trial pursuits, feeling that those interests are inadequately represented in tho pre seut State government, (hence tho greater necessity to co-operate among them? selves,) have formed an Agricultural and Mechanical Society, and established an? nual fairs. Its Executive Committee, carrying out tho order of the society, have arranged a premium list and pro? vided for tho annual fair. But one thing remains to be done. Under the present regime, the sooiety expects no aid from the State Treasury; hence the necessity devolves upon the committee to call upon the friends and members of the society to make the re? quired contributions of money, and the committee feel satisfied that the plan proposed for raising tho necessary funds will ment the approval of those concorned in this important movement. Tho committee will spare no efforts to make tho first annual fair of the society, in all respects, useful and creditable. They havo invited a distinguished spoaker to deliver an address; they have prepared a liberal premium list; they have suit? able buildings and grounds prepared, and it will remain for the contributors to complete tho work thus auspiciously begun. To provide the necessary funds, tho following scheme has boon adopted, and is commended to your favorable consi? deration. It is earnestly hoped that you may bo disposed to co-operate with us in this matter. Apponded hereto is n note, payable 1st October noxt, for $20, which you nre requested to sign and for? ward to Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, at Cokes bury, S. C. You are authorized by a re? solution of the committee to redeem this noto at or before its maturity by pro? curing ten annual members at 82.00, or two lifo members at $10.00 each. In this event, you aro oxpected to collect the money from the members you pro? cure, and to band their names to the Seoretary when your note is paid. Very respectfully, your obodient sor vants, JOHNSON HAGOOD, W. M. LAWTON, J. P. THOMAS, W. WALLACE, D. WYATT AIKEN, J. B. PALMEB, Of the Executive Committee. I $20.00.1 On or before the 1st day of Ootobor next, 1869,1 promise to pay to D. Wyatt Aiken, Secretary of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society, twenty dollars, for value received. A few copies of the 'Back and Destruc? tion of Columbia' can be obtained at tbe Phoenix office. Price twenty-five cents.

A good move, and one which wo would like to follow. JOB OFFICE.-The PJtoenix Job Office is prepared to executo every style of printing, from visiting and business card s to pamphlets and books. With ample material and first-class workmen, satis? faction is guaranteed to all. If our work does not come up to contract, we make nocharge. With this understanding our busiuoss men have no excuse for sending work North. CRUMBS.-Tho "heated term" is down ou us again with a vira; but our two weeks' schooling in the early part of July was amply sufficient, we think, to stand anything iu that line. Mr. H. C. Hack, who for soveral years past has filled tho position of mail agent on the Greenville and Columbia Rail? road, has been appointed Assistant As? sessor of Internal Revenue for Green? ville. Mr. Newman has shown us several vory fine specimens of what the lands of Richland cnn produce-the largest Irish potatoes that have yet been submitted to our inspection this season.

THE NAPOLEONIC THEORY.-It was the great Napoleon's rule to concentrate his forces upon the enemy's lines, at certain assailable points, and then conquer. In every disease "that flesh is heir to" the BLOOD is the weak point, and element involved. The blood purified, invigorated and strengthened, we carry the lines and outworks of disease, and plant upon its very citadel the waving banner of health. This is the theory of HEINITSH, and with bis Qneen's Delight, be accom? plishes the work. This the way he at? tacks disease; this the line of march in which be wins tho golden crown-a trophy of victory and success. Disease assumes as many forms as Proteus has shapes, and all may be traced to a foul vitiated condition of the blood. Boils, Carbuncles, Pimples, Blotches, are only the indications of that bad state of tho blood, which, if not removed, will determine in more serious ailments, Con? sumption, Liver-Complaint, Headache, norvous disorder, a general breaking down and loss of health. Heinitsh's Queen's Delight is a sovereign specific for the blood, general in its application, and radical in it effects. For sale by Fisher Sc Heinitsh, druggists. J24. Tobacco!
