Tliat Ilatlway's Snrsaparllllan Res- •1 rent supplies a want never before t>o^scs^ed or known ■to cxi«t in m-<liciue, that this new found principle in Chemical science, which has been brought to suclt a per fect system of cure ia exhibited os follows : 1. Its great power in as amilating the food in its first ata-e of distillation in the pi- of digestion, as chyme •ad chyle with tho nouihnmg elements of blood, ncpcratiiig from the** liquids refuse sud inert qual ities before they are taken up by the lactccals ana ars formed into blood.

'That, the blood thus prepared, and supplied with these nourishing properties becomes strong, rich and healthy, end holds in solution its proper constituents, through the Sarsaparillian licsolvent, and repairs the wastes of the bod v with sound and healthy structures. Such is tho wonderful power tbe Sarsa- jMsrillian Resolvent exerts on the blood and juices of tLr syotem, that no virulent humors or poi sons will exist by which deposits aro made. 5. The rapidity which the SarsapariUlan enters the circulation, and communicates its curative powers through tho Blood, Sw< at, Uriue, and other fluids, se cures the constituent se retions of each respective organ, establishing functional harmony throughout the system; throuph its action and power over tne Secretion*, the Lirer secretes its naturalproper allotment of bi o; the 8.<in sweat; tho Ku u. vs urc.r; and tlie Lungs carbon; so that this wondt iful medicine not only «?tnb- ishes health in the sick b-' •. but prewirvcs tho system in hiuvlth. As wc have shown the principle on which disease is formed, as well us tho only sensible theory of cure, we claim'that the range of cure of the ^arsapnrll- lia«t Resolvent i« uulim tid, and th.it every iiiseane that is of a C*iroiiio,8ci-ofu;otw or Organic Diathesis, is, properiy within its si o i*l tauge.

Ah, brother, only I and thou Are left of all that circle now— The dear home faces whereupon That fitful firelight paled and shone. Henceforward, listen as we will. The voices of that hearth are still; Look where wo ma; (he wild world o’er Those lighted faces shine no more. We tread tlie path their foot havyrorn, We sit beneath their orchard trees. We hear them like the hum of bees And rustle of the bladed corn; We turn tbe pages that they read, Their written words we linger o’er ; But in the sun they cast uo shade, No voice is heard, no sign is made. No step is on the conscious floor! Yet love will dream, and faith will trust, Since He who knows our need is just, That somehow, somewhere, meet we must. Alas ! for him who never sees The stars shine through his cypress trees ! Who, hopeless, lays his dead away, Nor looks to see the breaking day Across the mournful marble play! Who hath not learned in hours of faith, The truth to flesh and sense unknown. That Life is ever Lord of Death. And love can never lose its own! FAITH. If Faith came not to hold our hand How weary we should be, Wandering along the lonesome strand That bounds the “narrow sea,” While one by one our best beloved Pass o’er dear Lord, to thee ! She walks with us and holds our hand, Her eyes are angel’s eyes; She walks with us across the sand. Sweet Faith, from out the skies ! Wearing a rose upon her breast That smells of Paradise.

Wc herewith submit our humble opinion on this important subject and request that you would furor it with a place iu the columns of your worthy journal. A grave subject it is, indeed, but how many of the aforesaid class, will regard it as such ? Very few, we fear. Could we by word or deed, dissuade the poor, deluded ercaturcs from the paths they are daily pur suing, our aid and counsel would cheerfully be extended in their behalf. This vast universe, in a social point, is made up of “many natures marvelously mix ed.” Of that number, many, alas too many, hug, as did the Egyptian Queen, the deadly Asp to their besoms, heedless of the result. Yet knowing that it will silently suck away their very life-blood. Hear me, will yon, friend? If you are too reckless, and have lost the chief adornment of the human char acter—Honot—then, never mind, a few words of ‘‘soberness and truth” will avail thee nothing. I trust there are none. God forbid th .ire should bo. Listen not to the enchanting strains of the beautiful syrens who would seduce thee !—Mr.mento mori! RememvvWhe little lesson of the Spider and the Fly. Their tongues are smooth and oily, 'iliey inhabit requestered places and shady groves with “verdant roof em bowered.” “’Tis tlicre the vales of pleasure lie.” and, often beside the babbling brook, which you would think a fit haunt for the gods.— One enslavement may prove a final ruin. • Their voices will sound sweeter than the sweetest music by which your soul has ever been enchained. “Crimson leaves the rose adorn. Hut beneath them lurks a thorn ; Fair aud flowery is the brake. Vet it hides the vengeful snake,” “Seek no more—the rest is vain j Pleasure ending coin in pain, Anguish tightly gilded o’er. Close thy wish and seek no more.” If you have erred, utter an interregnum of several months, perhaps years, you will rc- nli/:e your true status iu society, i. e in the circle in which you moved. Then, as a na tural sequence, you will be forced, reluctant ly, to acknowledge your position as not very enviable. And when the veil of delusion | has been removed from your eyes, bitter feel- t ings of rein rsc will occupy your thought* ; | anguish will be noticeable iu every feature; | and, ou looking, you will not behold, as of yore, the capricious deceptive fairy nymphs who revolt 1 in the sylvan retreats which you loved, at-.d did must frequent They remind tme of the scriptural admonition iu relation to Apollyon. wherein it says he goes ‘as a roaring lion. &c., and as greater inducements earth, their limpid waters irrigating other lands, and yon, weary and foct-sore—leagues from a happy home—will be an outcast on a desert of blackness and despair. Now, therefore, ye unfortunate, would ye possess a higher—a nobler station among your fellow.creatures? Then, turn away from the base allurements of those who would entice thee to join the gay and giddy throng who “trip the light fantastic toe/’ with grace and revel in the mazy dance, Do not infer from the foregoing that the vile dance houses of reeking pollution must, necessarily, bo classed with the gilded halls of wealth, (though they can be in a measure) where the bean monde assemble and choose saltatory exercise to while away their leis ure moments. Even the latter meets not the approval of all the church going people.— Else why is it there are so few who can say with pride they’re been serving the Devil in a ball-room ? As an illustration, the following brie? 1 but sad story will serve to show the folly of vice aud dopravity of mankind. The events trampired in my native city, several years sines. It was a chilly morning in December.— Maty hurried to and fro, animated by the braung air. But there were many sad hearts in the city. None, no not one, could have been more so than the principal charac ter and subject of this story. I was walking along the wharves. On one I saw a little girl who possessed a woe begone countenance. I asked her name. It was Hinnie. I then heard her mother’s name, and their mode of living. Her story wa.<*listened to with sorrow. Her father was Coimcl S , by whom our State was ably represented for a number of years in the U. S. Congreas. Ho was a States Rights advo cate and clear exponent of civil liberty, and mere than once did his heart-thrilling rhetor ic and soul-stirring eloquence cause those Halls to reverberate while battling in de fence of laws which were tho palladium of the liberties and political freedom which we then enjoyed. Where is he now ? Seek the silent tombs, among them you will find the remains of him who was once an ornament to society, one of the brightest stars in our political galaxy, and the pride of a State wlio loved to boast such sons. But alas! he soon fell a prey to the malig nant vice, and there he lies, with a miserable scroll to mark his restisg place, and none to do him reverence. The few who cherish uis memory vSl tell you the cause of his untimely end in these words :—Intemperance aud the dance-hcuse ! But to the story. Minnie told no her mother was at home, ill A reprobate broth er, made the third member of that wretched family. Why,you ask, can he not go-mt on errands for his zick mother ? He prefers his favorite brothels and gambling hells to the porfbrmance of filial duties. Hcarlless monster ! He suffered his weak little sister to walk, day after day, the wharves and streets in search of bits of wood and provis ions. Minnie, on tho morning in question, was trudging along under a heavy burden— a basket of chips, upon the top o.’ which lay a small tin bucket of provisions that some kind hearted one had given her, tnd which she was taking home fur her find mother Girls, the name of that noble iitth creature should ever bo cherished with admiration and laudations of praise be waller far and wiTe for her whose example is so vorthy of emulation. The next day I visited the niotler, with the hnp>e of relieving her wants. After a circuitous route, in an obscure pait of the city, I found her residence, or rather hovel. I rapped, and Minnie ushered me into a small apartment, it a corner of which, lay the widowed, heart-broken mother. She had uo bed, save a rale couch of straw, with | hut scant covering. My heart grew sick at the scene before tic. She manifested uo little surprise at uy appearance: because, since her husband’s downfall and death she had been almost cnt-rely forsaken by former sunshine friends, and associates. Her story was simply a corroboration of statements set forth by hundreds who had gone before her, experiencing the same sorrows and heart aches which 'lie jiow felt so keen. She be gan the voyage uflifefinder the most favora- agniu attempt to expatiate on the follies of vice, or eudeavor to extol the benefits and pleasures of Honor and Truth. May success.

Darlington, S. C., May 23, 1870. Northern Negroes. Repairing the Waste* of War. It cannot fail to be a matter of gratifica tion to all classes of citizens who arc capable of entertaining generous emotions to know that the South is rapidly overcoming the wastes occasioned by the war. The strides thus have been made in this direction have no parallel iu any age or country. So grand indeed: have been these industrial achieve ments that the ancient and hereditary ene mies of the South are forced to award the people of that section repeated encomiums. The indomitable energy and pcrsevercnce which have characterized the efforts of the Southern people amidst political disabilities, surrounded by military satraps, cursed by the misrepresentations of Northern spies and carpetbag mendicants, outraged by the pres ence of a bluck-whito-and-tan soldiery, with legislation in the hands of cotton-field ne- groet, the judiciary prostituted to uphold in justice, rapine and murder, all backed by a Congress animated and controlled by a desire to oppress the people and retard the develop ment of their resources, present a spectacle which challenges the applause of all Chris- tendom. These people, so tried while pass ing through the furnace which Radical ma- lignity had hoped would cons.ime them, have rescued their plantations from the wilder ness, rebuilt their homes, gatheied up their scanty moans: have planted, reaped, and gathered into barns- until their success has not only placed them above want and de pendence but has given them wealth and commercial influence which are felt and ac knowledged in the great centres of t • i ^' 3 ^ ; noth hemispheres. The manufacturing in dustries of Englanda nd all Europe acknowl edge their debt of gratitude ; aud even in New England thousands are kept from star vation and are pensioners upon the uncou- quenible spirit which animates the people of the South. The cotton crop now iu prospect it is believed, will reach 3,000,000 bales; and this at 8100 per bale swells to the enor mous sum of 8300,000,000. Another crop is planted and a large area is under cultiva tion, and when the season arrives for the harvest home there are reasons for lelicviog a still larger sum will be set down to the credit of the South for the great staple, which the match of civilization and commerce will be more and more in demand. The New York Shipping list, iu contemplating the ability of the South to increase the national wealth, remarks that within “that section of our common country lie elements that are capable of producing unbounded w ealth ; and external conditions combine, as they rarely combine for any favored country, to send it rapidly to the front in point of prosperity and power. It not only enjoys the nionoply of a staple which is iu increasing demand throughout tl.e world, in tho form and fab ric, but has innumerable other elemetns, now partially dormant, that only needed to be fostered and encouraged to make them fruitful sources of wealth. It only remains for the South, with the aid of Northern and European capital, to construct railways, build factories, foundaries and mills, open new routes of commerce and improve old ones, import modern machinery, and devote such expenditures to these put poses in the regions mainly where cotton is grown, to revive tho drooping energies of the industrial and com mercial interests of the whole country; for it is impossible for one *ection to thrive and prosper without all beirg more or loss favora- Thc Northern Negroes, arc quicker than their Southern brothers to comprehend the new political situations produced by the fif teenth amendment, are already moving in behalf of a separate political organization in harmony wijh, but not of the Republican porter- They do not intend to be swallowed up as- & helpless atom, among the mass of Ropubiican voters, but aim to hold the bal- auoe of power between the two great con tending parties,, coquetting with either en tirely in their own interests. That this course is a wise one, as a. new political move- none can donbt. any mbro than they can the certainty of the example spreading through the South. As a natural result of enfran- chisemeiit it is useless to discuss it, as the natural and unavoidable antagonism of race produced thereby will produce new issues and complications; before which the present ones are but of pigmy importance. Progress. Gen fra i, Lonortref.t.—Tlie LaG range (Ga.) Reporter says: “When a man once starts down the declivity of ruin, he descends with great rapidity to the bottom. General Longstrcet once held a warm place in every Southern heart for his great bravery and .fighting qualities and devotion to the Con federate cause. In an evil hour he yielded to the temptation of Federal pap and be came a Radical, for which he was made an officer of the customs at New Orleans. But ho haslet himself down, down, to a lower depth of political degradation ! He has been appointed by the Radical Governor, Adju tant-General of tho State Militia. Every body knows what militia means, and can ap preciate too vividly the downfall and degra dation of General Longstrcet. A Prophecy Fnlflllng. The following language was used many years since, by that eminent statesman and pure patriot, Patrick Henry. No one gave it credence at that time, but stern reality now forces us to accept it ns a true prophecy which is now being fulfilled, as fast as the Radical rule gains strength to execute it. It seems that he had little faith in the perpetuity of a “Republican form of Govern ment,” Here ia an extract from one of his sperches to prove it: “In turn, as ha* happened in all othe. countries? the government will pass into the hands of.somo unscrupulous factions, bent on aggrandizing itself and its members at the expense of the country. * * They will rule your country with the sword. * * * Swarms of tax-gatherers will infest the whole land. * * * The fate of all other repub lics must be ours.” The Cincinnati Commercial and the Chi cago Tribune, speaking for the average com mon sense of the Northern people, cry a bait in the march of moral and ideal progress They think jnst as we think, that the negro has had enough. They don’t think ho de serves any more, or that he can profitably employ any more, until he has shown what he can do with what he has. He has had freedom suddenly thrust upon him in spite of himself. He has been made a citizen and a voter. His equality in tho State—before the courts and at the ballot-box—is assured. The sword, aided by sundry legislative enact ments done a deal for him inside of ten short years of revolutionary event. He may vote sit on juries, testify, practice law and physic ride in cars, and otherwise enjoy himself. All these pleasures and privileges have come to him without any effort on his part, and he is “favored among the peoples.” Like the sou of Kish, who went out iu search of asses and from a kingdom, Sambo has everywhere encountered, instead of wood to hew and water to draw, honors and endowments euougeh to turn, a head less woolly than his is. Why should he receive any more? But Mr. Suranersays he has only just got a glimpse of the paradise which ho deserves and which awaits him; and, whether he be satisfied, but must be stirred up, until “the nation is forced to take another step in ad- vanca.” This is the logic of the Fifticnth amend ment. That amendment was a forcible vio lation of an understood principle of local self- government and premature assault upon pub lic aontimeutmade through a specious promise that it would settle a vexed question which the country desired to be quit of. But wo see how it works. No sooner is it out of the way then the impracticables want to continue to progress. It is as was predicted- The Radicals pro pose to drive ahead. The Republicans desire to hold back. We shall see which is the better of tbe two. Thus far the Radicals have had no reason to distrust themselves, and are likely to go to work aa Vigorous as ever.

At Big Island Township, Marion county, Ohio, on the farm of Alexander Campbell a great snake hunt recently occurred. The party was headed by Capt Jackson Brady, who led his gallant company down into the tall prairie grass, and surrounding a twenty- acre lot, set fire on the outer edge of the grass a 4 o’clock P. M. The grass burned well, tho flames rolling up ten feet high, and as the fire advanced, the snakes retreated into the centre, sometimes making desperate ef forts to spring through the flames, but the blaze being too heavy they were killed in the attempt. At 7.45 V. M., the ground was burned over, and Capt. Brady went over the field of carnage aul picked up the debris of the great army of snakes, and by actual count was found to be 13,083 snakes of all sizes. One black racer was nine feet four inches long aud seven inches in circumference; This may be con-idered a good day’s work for this neighborhood, as tho snakes had be come so bad that small children were afraid | to go to'sehool, and they oven attacked some ] adults, several having been bitten on their boots, and it had become a common thing for fifty or a hundred snakes to chase men women and children across the prairie.
