C. t H. J. MP«i>QOK. The termination of a sanguinary contest, which foi the past four years has presented an impassable barrier to all social or commercial Intercourse between the two great sections of our country, having at length happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of those relations which formerly bound us together in a fraternal union, I take the earliest opportunity afford ed me by this auspicious event, to greet my Southern friends, and to solicit from them a renewal of that ex. teusive business connection which for a quarter of a century has been uninterrupted save by the great pub lic calamity to which I have adverted. It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of a busi ness re-union, I should repeat the warning so often given to my friends,—to beware of all those spurious and deleterious compounds which, nnder the specious and false titles of Imported Wines, Brandies, Holland Gin, Liquors, &c., have been equally destructive to the health of our citizeus and prejudicial to the interest of the legitimate Importer. Many years of my past life have been expended in an open and candid attempt to expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac complish this salutary purpose, and to place before my frieuds and the public generally; at the lowest possible market price, and in such quantities as might suit their convenience, a truly genuine imported arti cle. Twenty-five years’ business transactions with the largest and most respectable exporting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass ed facilities for supplying our home market with Wines, Liquors, and Liquersof the best and most ap proved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis tillery in Holland for the manufacture of the “Schie dam Schnapps.’ The latter, so long tested and approved by the med ical Faculties of the United States, West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli mates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cu pidityof the home manufacturers and venders of a spurious article uuder the same name. I trust that I have, after much toil aud expense, sur rounded all my importatiorjp with safeguards and di rections which with ordinary-circumspection willtfn sure their delivery, as 1 receive them from Europe, to all my customers. I would, however, recommend in ull cases where it is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22 Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made of my accredited agents. In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, &c., in wood, I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign wines, embracing vintages of many past years, bottled up before the commencement of the war, which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, 1 would specially call the early atten tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or calling personally at the Depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from the present large and well selected assortment.

Reminiscence of John Mltchsll the Younger. Tne London correspondent of the New York Tribune has the following in a recent letter: I was in Charleston, South Carolina, In the memorable Winter of 1860-I—Secession time—and bad considerable opportunities of observing the events and individuals of that epoch. Being, one evening, at the office of one of the principal, newspapers of the city I found there, with its editor, a beardless lad of 20, thin and slight of figure, of middle height, with round grey eyes, rather an aqui-v line nose, a decided moutb, and anything but an agreeable expression of countenance His face only lacked vigor and fellness 'o have served for an exact model for a grand inquisitor. There was a look of latent, dan gerous fanaticism in it which curiously at tracted, yet repelled you. This youth prov ed to be John Mitchel, junior, and he was worthy of his paternity. (His father by the by, was then in Paris, acting as corres pondent to the Charleston Mercury ) “Young Vitriol”—for by that designation he was privately known to myself and others— had come from Uis adopted State of Ala bama to offer his services to South Carolina and the holy cause of secession. He had a good manner and address, was a land-sur veyor by profession, and lionized it in Charleston on the strength of his name and origin. Living in the same hotel, I saw a good deal of him, The fanatical faith in Slavery and the South exhibited by this lad was something appalling; he had adopted all its extreme features—especially belief in the revival of the slave trade—with a perver sity becoming his primogeniture. His coat displayed a huge gash, recently sewn up, for which he accounted by a pleasing story df a “difficulty” with a friend to whom he had carelessly applied the epithet of “submis sionist” in an Alabama ball-room, when the gentlemau responded by a cut at his breast with a bowie knife. “On which 1 took the liberty of putting a bullet through his hat, just above the he said Michael junior, adding, naively. “He was the dear egt f r iend I had in the world.” Young Vit ways carried a revolver—Dean and xiol al patent being his “favorite” weapon. Adam’snight of my introduction to him he discoursed, of Abolitionists, and narrated how he had assisted at lynching one in Ala bama, only two weeks back, stating the time and locality. “And,” he said, “1 am not ashamed to say that I pulled at the rope. I was on the jury that tried him, and I helped to hang him. I render myself amenable to the law by the admission, tor as it was done by the Vigilance Committee, of which I am a member, it was, of course, illegal. But I am confidng it to gentlemen and men of hon or.” Acd I have no doubt that this boy— whose frail arm was hardly thicker than a rabbit’s leg, which one could have snapped bp a vigorous twist of the wrist—had pulled at the rope and assisted at the murder of apme “Yankee”—one of the many nameless assassinations occvuring in the evil days of the domination of Slavery, before the war began. Mitchell, junior, got on the stafl of Gov. Pickens subsequently, and was sent to Virginia to propogate “secesh” doctrines there and help engineer the State out of the Union, from which expedition he returned despairing of success and denouncing the Old Dominion —as was the fashion in Charleston just then. That was before Sumter. When then Rebels fired on the Star of the West, thereby committing their first act of overt hostility to the United States Goverment, his enthusiasm was prodigious. “I was all alone,” he said to me, “out on Sullivan’s Island, but if I didn't throw mv hat up and hurrah, it’s a pity 1” In July, 1864, this promising youth got killed by a cannon-ball, while in command at Fort Sumter as Capt. John Mitcheil. The Augusta Gazette is discontinued.
