SEBASTOPOL TAKEN !
Sebastopol, the mighty, is fallen !—
Such is the burden of the late foreign
news. If true—and we presume it is,
as it remains thus far ur.contradicted—
ute don’t know what newspaper editors
and readers will do hereafter to make
the foreign news readable. We present
-such particulars this week as we have
.been able to gather from our exchanges
What ultimate effect this movement
tmay have upon the fortunes of the belli
gerents, we do not profess to be able to
•foresee. As to its possible results, we
'have neither time nor inclination to
speculate just now.
OUR CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIBERS.
A» we expect to be able to give com
plete returns of the recent election in
our "ext issue, such of our campaign
subscribers as do not notify us of their
intenticn to take the paper longer will
find it discontinued after that time.
We trust that each and every one of
them will become permanent subscri
berslo the paper. The campaign jus'.'
closed was but a prelude to^’.ie great
land important one shortly to begin—we
mean the Presidential campaign. Every
voter in Georgia ought to take one or
more papers from this time until the
Presidential election. Those who want
the Watchman, will please forward two
'dollars in advance, and we will see that
they get the paper.

Queen Victoria’s visit to Paris, it is
said, brought 741,345 strangers into
the city. If we place the expenditure
of each individual during a stay of ten
days at the low average of fifty dollars,
we arrive at a profit for Paris of over
thirty seven millions. It is stated that
for the jewellers the week was more
profitable than any whole year daring
the reign of Louis Phillippe. Every
branch of trade was immensely benefit-
ted.

THE GREAT RESTORATIVE,.
Fceerund Ague Cured hy Dr. MJ,anc t Liver
Pill*.
fcgTMr. Jonathan Ho'pghn^, of West
Union, Park County, Ul'.oo-.i^ writes to the
I roprietors that he lia**, sv.Jtercd greatly from
a severe and promote ’ atla ck ol Fever and
Ague, aud was Uom-^ietely restored to Iiea ih
by the use of ih<. Liver Pills alone. These
Pills uno-.ie^jonably posses great tonic prop
erties, ar.j can be taken with decided nuvau-
for many diseases acquiring invigora-
| ti'.ig remedies; but the Liver Pills stand pie
eminent asa means of restoring a disorganiz
ed Liver to healthy action ; hence the great
celebrity they have attained. The numerous
formidable diseases arising from a diseased
Liver, which so long baffled the skill of the
most eminent physicians of the United States
me now rendered easy of cure,th-.-:ks to the
study and perseverance of the distinguished
physician whose name this great medicim
bears—a name which will descend to poster!
ty as one deserving of gratitude. This in
valuable medicine should always be kept
within reach ; and on the apearance of the
earliest symptoms of diseased Liver, it can
be safely and uecfuPy administered.
’in-chasers will please bo careful to
ask for Dr. Mclmic’s Celebrated Liver Pills
and take none else. There are other Pills,
purporting to be Liver Pills, now before the
public. Dr. M'Lane’s Liver Pills, also his
Celebrated Vermifuge, can now be bad at all
respectable DrugSrones in the United States
and Canada.
