Intermittent or Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In iniAsmatic dis tricts, the rapid pulse, ooatjed tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back and loins, and coldness of the spine and extremities, are only premoni tions, of severer symptoms which termin ate in the ague paroxysm, *nceeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, ar senic, sad other poisonous minerals form the liasis of most of the “ Fever and Ague Preparations,’ ’ “Spaeifieo,” " Syrups,” and “ Tonics,” in the market. The prep arations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not care, but leave the malarial and their own dmg poison in the system, producing nuinism, dizsiness, ringing in-the cars, headache, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure/ Ayer’s Ac.ue Cure thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cure* the severest cases. It- contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa tient; and its crowning excellence, above ■its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Ayer’s Aoue Cure, by direct action on the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons . whioh produce theafi. coBfflalots. and. stunulatos tire system to» a vigorous, healthy condition.

The several Items of the public Debt, as given in the Comptroller’s statement, are as follows: Cousolidwteed hoods and stocks funded to November 1, 1879, less the bonds retired by the choking Fund Commission In 1879, $9688,040 90; amount rt-tmthdng to bc consolidated, at Ijs consolidated value, $580,914 54;-cei tlfica)( 8 of Claims Com idlsuion, $501,535 93; unpaid interest, l«s« amount received In Treasury, $444,054 45. The total net receipts of the year are given at $054,726 71, which, added to $224,277 38 in the Treasury Novem ber 1.1878, gives a total of $879,004 09, The total expenditures were $635,516 5, leaving a balance in the Treasury No vember 1. 1870, of $243,488 04, or $19,- 210 66 more than there was at the be ginning of the fiscal year. Of the •243,438 04 balance in the Treasury, $231873 67 is reserved for interest, taxes paid under protest aud for the educational fund, having obly $8,614 37 unreserved on November 1.

Of the expenditures it nFvy be noted that tiit-re was paid on old Hccmiut $114 9C9 42. Of the current expenses the following are the principal items : Executive Department, $38,343 68; Ju dicial Department, $53,260 41; Legis lative Department. $4'),750 95; Health Department, $5 850; Educational De partment, $10 167 53; Tax Department, 318,025 13; Penitentiary, $47,053 30; Lunatic Asylum, $71,200; Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum, $9,718 70; Catawba Indians, £800; Palmetto Home, $600; Colored Oiphan Asylum, $330; Ad justment ot the Public Debt, $199,144 30; State Agricultural Society, 81,250; Fish Commission, $800; Miscellaneous Accounts, 114,634 24. In regard to tuxes,It maybe noticed that the poll tux Yielded $97,597, against $102 974 for preceding fiscal yoar. It will ba seen that, upon the assessment of 3135,284, 048, a levy of one mill yielded into the Treasury l?110,101 67 3. The taxes for the fiscal year 1878-79 were levied upon an as- se-tsmankof $118,479,851, and one mill the same proportion should yield iota the (State Trane ury about ^100,- 350. J he levy for State purposes was two and three quarter mills, aud the sum to tie paid into ttre State Treas ury should reach, when fully collected, $275,962.

Rtchnrd- aou, which arrived from Liberia: lost week, having h-ft Monrovia September 21, btought eighteen colored passen gers.- T’Uey were a pat t.of the ill-star- red ship, toad of nmigraoU Charleston, for the Libeliun Republic on Easier Buuduy, 1878, in the bark Az ir. As soon as the reluruiug pil grims arrived In New Yoik they were transferred to the cats and started at once for Unix old homes in Houlh Carolina. Yesterday Oapt. Richardson gave a reporter many details of their ioug story ; of suffering and unhappi ness, only the opetdug. chapters of which have been published In this country. The returning party includ ed three families and several single adults. Their friends in the country sent them money with which to pay thifir passage batTFlo their old homes. They ofry there's not one of the Azor’s jParty that would not gladly come back if they could raise funds for the Jour ney. A more diaconteuted, miserable lot of people can hat dly be imagined ibnn those unfortunates, who have found many more graves than homes la the young colored repub.ic. It will be lemi mbtred that of the 370 exodists who started on the Azt r twenty-nine died for lack of proper provision for their health and comfort oeforo they reached Monrovia. Borne tnirty or forty have been able to return to ibis country. Of the thfee hundred and over mn doing there are now on ly about fcixty persons vtihre. The climatic fever, which attacks ail strangers in the country, is seldom fatal if fhs patient lias proper treaV oient and is fairly supplied wi'h the essentials of comfort. But these poor wretohte wer? tmeaYet ;H>e» paupew when they lamtid*in Liberia. They hod no food, shelter nor medicine, ex cept wbat was inadequately doled out by the government or by the poor set tlers of Monrovia. The result Is that they have perished by scores until only a remnant of the band remains. The survivors are now inured to the climate, aud the most of them are at last self-supporting. But none of them ate Varbiug mors than tho scan tiest subsistence. Tho Azot’s |>arty landed at Monrovia iu the beginning of the rainy season. No ehtiter bad bees prepared for them, and so the three hundred and forty-odd souls were of necessity crowded into a lot of dilapidated and abandons 1 houses near the beach. The Liberian Government, contrary ta ils practice, took some measures for their relief, and some money was takes from the treasury to buy tlieuv-teed and medicines. The only (.Id which the Government, as a rule, extends to immigrants is to give twenty-five acres of laud to the head of eveiy family, «n4 to every male adult ten acres. Oapt. Richardson says this Government grant has been to most Immigrants of no advantage whatever, as it takes some capital to improvs the land, and very tew of tho new comers have money enough to buy implements with which to develop the smallest coffee farm. Capt. Richardson says the immigrants fresh from this country have little or no chance of employment in Monrovia. Four-fifths of tbsreaii^nt populaces Aiken l<cUer. Aikkw, 8. U., Nov. 24,1879.

There have been bonds given by private individuals to the amount of $240,000 as an vodownu nt fund, but hundreds have failed tven to pay the interest on these bonds. Hon. E B.

Dr. Good- ►peed, of tho Benedict Institute for the colored preachers, in Columbia, S. O., was present, and heartily wel comed. Ou Sunday afternoon there was a Sunday School mass meeting presided ovir. by the Rev. A. W. Lamar, in which many addresses were delivered in behalf of Sunday Schools. Every church, both wb|te and colored, except the Episcopal, was supplied morning aud evening by visiting mla- ibters. Dr. Chambliss preached in the tnorniug, and Dr. Hldeo, In the even ing In the Baptist Church. Tke latter preached one of the most wonderful and p«>. uUar eormons I have ever tte- tesed to.

During the war when our people were shut off from all the markets of the world end were forced to live at home, the culture of sugar cane formed one of the most active and lucrative iadustries of the State, and nearly every farmer manufactured his own molasses. There was always a de mand for sorghum, and a good article commanded a fins piles and found ready sale. After the war tho farm ers threw tbetr old mills away,allowed their boilers to rnia by rust and their uroaces to tali down, while they raised cotton to buy bigh-prlced syrups of orelgn manufacture, paying for them great deal more than they would have cost if made at home.
