REPUBLICAN I'LXTFOHR. The National Uepublican party of the, United States, assembled in National Convention, In the city of Chi cago, ou the 90th day of May, 186 H, make the following Declaration of Principles : lat. We conn r a tula to the country on the assured sue ceaa of the reconstruction policy of Congreaa, as evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States lately in rebellion, of ConatUutions securing equal civil and political right* to all, and regard It as the dutv of the tiovemment to austain those Institutions, and to prevent the people of such State* fWim being remitted to a state of anarchy. Id. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice, and mini be maintained, while the question of suffrage in all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States. 3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay ment of the public indebtedness, m the utmost good faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. 4th. It is due to the labor of ihe nation that taxation should be equalized ami reduced as rapidly as the na tional faith will permit. sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in terest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done. tkh. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan ns money at lower rates of interest than we now pay. and must continue to pay, so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus pected. 7th. The Government of the United States should be administered with the strictest economy, and the cor ruptions which have been so. shamefully nursed aiul fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ridteal re form. Bth. We profoundly deplore the imtimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him and the cause he was pledged to support ; has usurped high legislative and judicial functions : has refused to exe cute the laws; has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed his executive powers to render insecure the property, peace, liberty and life of the citixeu Abas abused the pardoning power: ha* denounced the National Legisla ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at tlie reconstruction of the States lately in re bellion ; ha* perverted the public patronage into on engine of wholesale corruption; and has been Justly impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five Senators. oth. The doctrine of Great Uritain and other European powers, that because a man is once a subject, lie is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author ised by the law of nations, and at war with our national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti tled to be piotectedin all their rights of citizenship as though they were natural born, and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts done, or words spoken, in this country, and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf. 10th. Os all who were faithful in the trials of the late war, there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the hardships of the campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service of the country. The bounties and peusion* provided by law for these brave defenders of the nation are obligations never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protecting care. 11th. Foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of resources, and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encour aged by a liberal and just policy. 12th. This Convention declares it* sympathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights.

Those receiving a reminder will please at once remit the amount, else their papers will be discontinue'). . ♦. - For the Campaign ! THE CHEAPEST PAPEU 1A GEOKIH t ! The Presidential Campaign, for 18G8, will be the most important that lias ever claimed the attention of American citizens. Our Republican friends, who realize the advantages to be secured by the dissemi nation of political truths through the medium of a well conducted daily journal, should, at once, organize Clubs for the purpose of increasing the subscription list and efficiency of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN published every morning (Monday cx ceptcd) at Augusta. Ga.. the home of the Governor elect. The Reiu ih.k'an modestly claims that it lias done good service in the Union cause, and for the promotion of pure and undefiled Republicanism, since the party had an existence in Georgia. It will be guided, as it lias been hitherto, by uncom promising loyalty to the Union, and will resist every attempt to weaken the bonds that unite the American people into one Nation. The Kepi hi.ican will heartily support General On ant and St uuyluu Colfax for the responsible positions for which they have been nominated. It will advo cate retrenchment and economy in the public expenditures, and the reduction of onerous taxation. It will advocate the speedy restoration of the South, us needful to revive business and secure fair remune ration for labor. The Reitih.k an will always have all the NEWS--domestic, foreign, political, social, literary, and commercial its pro prietors using enterprise and money to make the BEST possible Newspaper, ns well us the CIIKAI’KbT. Its conductors will study condensation, clearness, point, and will euduuvor to present its renders, daily, with a summary of the world's doings in the most luminous and attractive manner. And, in order to place Tiik National lti.fi in,it an within the reach of all who desire a ijoiml daily neicsjiupcr, we present the following low terms of snlmcriptinn “FOR THE CAMPAIGN," | From now till the Jir*l of December .] One Copy $2 25 Five Copies ..10 00 Ten “ 18 00 Twenty “ .....35 00 OUR FLAG. Thu names of Quant and Colfax will stand at the head of our columns till the echoing voice of the people’s will is borne on Novcmlrer gales, announcing them the chosen rulers of the nation. General Grant represents no State, but the whole Union. and Mr. Colfax, nlso known to the whole world by his ability, fidelity, and great success as the Speaker of the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Congress, has a national, rather than a local strength. Both arc men who have hold upon the sympathies ol the people. Both have splendid records; both nro men whose services to the nation, whether in the field or council, deserve honor ami reward, and thus the great Convention of 18<>8 the first Republican convention in which all the States were fully represented—selects to perfect the work of restoration and to preside over the destinies of the Union when restored, the two men who, as Soldier and as Statesman, have won the widest approval by their deeds, nml whose fame is the property, not of any State or section, but of the whole Republic. The unparalleled unity of sentiment exhibited at Chicago is wonderful as a proof of the exalted patriotism that moved all hearts as by one pulsation, and will be rfinnipotent in its effects. No machinations can make head against it, no combinations of hostility resist, it. It will swell through the country kindling enthusiasm; it will cheer the faithful, recall the doubting, and win the disaffected. Henceforward the watchword of “ Grant and Colfax” will ring through the nation like a bugle-call to battle, and summon the patriotic hosts to victory. The national flag will float from a million staffs inscribed with these names, and kindle emulation in support of them in every corner of the land. No tongue of calumny can be moved against them. They arc the pritle of the people—one scarcely less conspicuous for his devotion to the government and his patriotism in civil life, than the Other in military affairs. Popular with the masses,-undeviating in integrity, considerate in counsel, sound in judgment, gml reliable in principle, they xvill attract to them the support of all good men North, South, East and West—and every malign attack of their enemies will only make them new friends. Under their lead the day of the nation’s triumph is drawing near, and in spite of the bitter hostility of the Democratic party, the woes that have desolated the country are speedily coming to an end; the distracted Southern States will shortly be all restored to their old places in the Union, and the administra tion of Grant and Colfax will be over a united country, bound together by the bonds of a pure statesmanship, a fraternal community of interests, and a recognition of justice and equality. * SORE HEADED DEMOCRACY {BO CA I.L El).) For the past two days we have noted with interest the tremendous efforts of the new dispensation. The time approaches lor the great meeting at New York. The Fourth of July —the grand anniversary of the Decla ration ol American Independence—has been chosen hy the Ktt Klux Klaus to be dese crated by a meeting of their head centres, etc., at the metropolis of the Union. Every “Grand Kignior'' and ‘ X road tool" will be there, if he can get a “dead head,” or borrow, beg', or steal money enough to pay his way. We shall watch the movements, and await the development we are sure will he made, with much interest. Not because we have any fen in of n liarmottimm nominaffioii or a harmonious vote for ihe nominees, but just to see how a chemical experiment will succeed of mixing oil, water, soft soap, turpentine, kerosene oil, benzine, and nitro glycerine. livery ingredient known, and many, no doubt, wholly unknown, will ho put into the seething cauldron, to be set boiling on the 4lli proximo. We take Time by the forelock, and warn our personal friends iu the South, in advance, to Imware of this thing. The time was when a Simon pure Democratic Convention was a for mid a* hie article, to b: well considered by every one, but that time hn.s passed, so far as wc ol the South are concerned! and never will return to vex tlie patriot’s heart. The bogus concern to assemble in New York on the Fourth of July, 1808, bus so many palpable features of forgery and counterfeit that a wayfaring man can not fail to see them. The only tiring the Republican party cau fear in tho action of the National Democratic (?) Convention, it seems to us, is that old “A. J.” will be nominated as their candidate in the first place, and Ranso Wright, “the Governor of Georgia East of the Oconee, with tho dependencies thereof,” as the second man. If this be done, we leaf wo shall have to take the place of Captain Scott’s coon, and ‘‘conic down” and save the ammunition. Seriously, the Republican party—the, party of the Union—the party for Reconstruction and the early restoration of the Union have only to bo firm, stand by their colors, do their duty, “come wliat may,” and vote for Quant aud Coi.fax despite tho money, the lying sophistries, the boasted strength, or the vain promises of a party “conceived in sin and brought forth iu iniquity,” and to whose acts the people of the South owe this day all tho evils under which they suffer. GRANT. In his celebrated ode upon the Duke ol Wellington, tho English poet Tennyson hns some striking expressions which might seem to have been intended for a different subject. They nre us follows : “Tlie ntnteNiniiii-wsrri'ir, moderate, resolute, Wholo in liiuidclf, a common good, Our greatest, yet with least protonso, Great in council and great in war, Foremost captain of Ids time, Kich in saving com mini sense, Anil, as Bin greatest only are, In his simplicity subliino.” It would be difficult to produce a heller description of General Grant than is given iu these few lilies. Funeiial. —The funeral of Mr . Muni It J. .Smith, wife of Surgeon A. K. Smith, U, S. A., und daughter ol Gen. C. C. Sibley, took piano yesterday morning' Tho remains were followed to the cemetery hy a long train of carriages, containing many officers ol the post, with their families, mid n largo number of our uitizans. —Atlanta Era, Thursday. \ RELIEF. We arc amused at the gyrations of the Ku Klux press of Georgia on the action of Congress in regard to the relief clause in the Georgia Constitution. Poor fellow*! we do pity them, and are willing to let them have a brief hobnobing over the pre sent ambiguous action of Congress. They are so sore, and so spiteful, we think they should be treated with many grains of allowance for the fantasies they are now cutting before high Heaven. We are charitable—we can smile even when wc give them this small donation, and wc can view with jocoseness the great furore they make over a crumb! “Oh, yes, ice told you so 1" Precisely—you said so—no doubt of it. The cow ate up the grindstone, too ; and wc can see no difference between you and the cow, only this—the cow is a useful critter, and, if anybody lias yet discovered that sore haul Democracy is of any essen tial use or benefit to their country, we hope he will get a, patent at once for the discov ery. Wc cannot see it wc cannot feel it wc don’t believe it! “the omnibus rill. 1 ’ We see by telegraph reports that the Omni has bill, so called, which admits North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiaiuq and in which is ineluded Alabama, has passed the Senate and gone back to the House. The “relief” clause in the Georgia Constitution was stricken out. What the House will do with the matter, wo are left to conjecture. It may accede to the Senate amendment; we doubt it, and wo hope that the House will insist upon its own bill as it was when sent to the Senate. But if nob and the relief measure be nullified, then there is another alternative to be taken, which will be done by the Legislature, that will prevent the Shylocks of the land from exercising their present and past instincts, to the utter destruction of tlie people of the Stole. We shall see. GRANT AND THE RADICALS. Consistency is the wooden god before which fools how down and worship. The consistent man never changes because he never learns anything. New facts make no impression upon his fossilized brain. The changing, growing world moves on, but its experiences have no power to enlighten the stupidly consistent and consistently stupid creature ; not even a revelation from above would shake his stolid conceit; and so the world rolls by, leaving him, a wooden headed mile post, by the way side, sticking and rotting in his familiar hole. The Republican is ambitious to he such a mile post. Wo arc not. The Republican conceives that it is the unpardonable sin for a man to change his opinions, and gOes about boasting that no trip hammer nor pile driver could ever force anew idea into its head. To our notion, on the contrary, uew ideas are highly desirable, the faculty of learning something from passing events is eminently valuable, and a change of opinion tor good cause is decidedly praiseworthy. We try to learn what we can, and to keep up with the world as nearly as vve cau, nnil leave the question of consistency to fools. We segregate the above from an article in lhe Missouri Democrat, and will merely explain that it is a thorough going, able Republican daily, while the Republican newspaper alluded to is of the new school Democracy—both published at St. Louis. We commend the true sentiments contained in it to the thousands in Georgia bolonging to the press, and outside of it; for the article suits our meridian quite as well as any other we know 01. A “bump on a tree” is an object, in the vegetable kingdom, of no pleasant sight, but a liumah bump is far more so, whether he is regarded in a social, political, or religions light. With a skull impenetrable to reason, a disposition of dogmatism and a mind incapable ot appre ciating new ideas as they come up—what more like n “bump” on a tree? The Repudiation Fla<l— The Roches ter Union proclaims its devotion to the Pendleton scheme of Repudiation. It sugar-coats it after this fashion : We arc, justified in the conclusion that the New York Convention of July 4th will be substantially a unit for One Taxation and One Currency for all. Upon this as the main plank of the platform, opposed to the Republican plan for the perpetuation of a Bondholding Aristocracy, free from taxation and pampered with gold, and fora tax-ridden people put off with rags and compelled to support the aristocracy hy the toil ot their hands and the sweat of their brows. That is doubtless the platform which the New York Convention will put for ward, unless it shall conclude to take Chase and greenbacks. The repudiation platform finds increasing support, and bold defenders, 'i he Democracy may find it wise to make war on savings banks, anil on tho investments of widows and orphans, as well ns on the public faith ; but we doubt it. The laboring men will not be deceived into favoring the issue of more paper money to increase the cost of every morsel of food and every article of wear. They believe that “honesty is the best policy” for the nation as well as for indi viduals. They will not be deceived by False cries, and will not be champions of rag money. They will do nothing to pre vent the return of gold and silver to circu - lation, as soon ns the business of the country will justify it. To nr: Expected.— Henceforth, until the election in November, we may expect a steady supply of slander, misrepresentation and abuse about the Presidential candi dates. It lias already begun with the Chi cago nominations; but not until the selec tion of the opposition candidates, will party feeling have full sway. Already we have had disputes about Colfax's birth place, and Git ant’s right to his surname, and we may soon look for a general raking tip of nil tho other discreditable stories relating to their histories which can begot together. Tito accusation ot drunkenness against Grant has missed tire; and, indeed, it Ims failed so many times in other eases, we think it might be permanently nban dotted as a party weapon and laid on the shelf. Wlutt other facts about candidates' parentage, personal Imbits, etc., will be brought to light, we have not sufficient imagination to predict. Their appearance, however, is inevitable. The word has gone forth, and the order is now “Cry slander, and let loose tlie editors.” From the Now York Herald. THE NEW OXYGEN GAS LIOUI. A second exhibition of the light edueed by a mixture of pure oxygen with street (hydrogen) gas was giycn yesterday after noon, in thejpreseuce or several distinguished gentlemen, in a darkened compartment in the offices of Messrs. Sterns, Stevens k French, 22 Nassau street. To produce the oxygen gas cheaply and in sufficient quanti ties, resort is had to mangnusotes (compounds ot inaiigunorie acid with gases), which arc dooxodyzed at a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit, by passing hot steam over them in retorts. 'lhe oxygen disengaged is conveyed to a receiver. By this process manganates, acting ns sponges, nre again charged with the electro negative element, the vital part of the atmosphere and sup porter o! combustion. This gas, when played upon a magnesiau pencil in combi nation with the hydrogen, produces a pure, soft, white light, sixteen times stronger titnn the ordinary gas, or, to express it more plainly, one jet of the oxygen gas is equal to sixteen lights of ordinary street gas, the burners being of like capacity. From the new light there is no impure smell. It does not heat or adulterate the atmosphere. Rather, it purifies it, acting in this capacity as u depurator. When burnt or combined with pure hydrogen, such as it is proposed to extract from lime and coal, by anew process in the hands of the gentlemen named above, the light will bo beyond even present conception magnificent. It will be all but drawing tlie light of the sun into a midnight of darkness. Unshaded, the new illuminator has the sparkle, but in intensity almost infinitely multiplied, of the diamond. Shaded it seems to please the eye, which is never fatigued, however long it may rest upon it. We have been given to understand that it is about to be introduced into several hotels, stores, manufactories, and private establish ments, and we do not think the time distant when it will be as commonly used in dwel lings, public places, street lamps, and elsewhere as the ordinary illuminative gas now' is. While, ns has been stated, the intensity, and, therefore, brilliancy of the oxygen gas is as sixteen to one of hydrogen, it is not more expensive; if anything, it is believed that in a little while it can be made much cheaper—that is, the oxygen in combination with pure hydrogen at the burner, and for the reason that, by anew process, for which patents are held covering the United States by Messrs. Sterns, Stevens & French, the last named gas can be obtained in large volumes from anthracite coal. It lias been ascertained that, by placing equal parts of lime and anthracite in a retort, four volumes of hydrogen, under certain ascertained con ditions, cau be obtained to one from the bituminous coal. This, with the fact that, by the process of Tessie du Motay aud Marechal’s, for obtaining large volumes of oxygen at exceedingly low figures, will place the new gaslight within the reach of all—a light which will be of incalculable benefit to the world—a light so powerful, though so mild to the eye, that it may be used equally with daylight for photographic purposes. It has recently been found in France, where experiments in the new light are being conducted on ft large scale, that a substitute for the magnesian pencil has been found, which will prove far more durable. This, of course, will help to greatly reduce the cost of burning the gas. Wonderful Story of a Skull.—Twenty years ago, in Cavendish, Vt., a man named Sage, twenty five years of age, possessing an irou will and an iron frame, met with a singular accident, the particulars of which we collect from a paper ready by Dr. Harlow, a few days since, before the Massa chusetts Medical Society. Sage was ram ming a hole that had been charged with powder. The iron struck fire from the rock, and the iron he was ramming with was driven up through hi3 cheek, out of the top of his head, high in the air, and was afterward found, several rods distant, smeared with blood and brains. The tamping iron was 3J feet in length and If inches thick, and pointed at one end, the taper being seven inches long, and the diameter ol the point a quarter of an inch. It weighed thirteen pounds. The point was upward, and the iron smooth. The missile entered, by its pointed end, the left side of the face, immediately anterior to the angle of the lower jaw, and, passing obliquely upward and slightly backwards, emerged out of the top of the head in the median line at the back part of the frontal bone, near the coronal square. The ordinary reader will understand it better, if we say that, pointing upward, it entered tlie check outside the teeth, and under the cheek bone, went inside an inch behind the eye, and out of the top of (he head in the centre, two inches back > f the line where the forehead and hair meet. Alter a few minutes, the man was taken three-quarters of a mile, in a sitting position, in a cart. The opening in the brain was two inches wide by three and a half inches long. In fifty-nine days the patient was abroad. The effect of the injury was the instruction of the equilibrium be tween his animal and intellectual faculties. The man lived until 1801, when Dr. llurlou secured tlie skull, which he exhibited, iihi3 trative of the statements contained in his paper. —Pittsburg Commercial. Decisions or the Supreme Court—June Term, 18G8.—Abner P. Robertson, vs. John D. Smith, Sheriff—Rule from Richmoud. Walker, J. It is the duty of a Sheriff to execute with due diliigenee the processes placed iu his hands, and pay promptly to the party enti tled, money collected by him as Sheriff, and on his tailing to do so, lie is liable to fine and attachment for contempt (Code, sections 397, 401, .’’>B73 and 3881). While the Court will require strict fidelity on the part of its officers, it will also enforce his rights for his costs and fees as against suitors ; therefore, when a Sheriff, at the instance of a plaintiff, levied on die property ot a defendant, and incurred expenses in securing and taking care of the property so levied on, and the levy was subsequently dismissed by the order of the plaintiff, the Sheriff will not be driven to an action to recover the costs so due him, but judgment may be entered up against the plaintiff for the same, and execution issue therefor (Code, section 400 and 3G35). Tho amount of compensation due the Sheriff may bn awarded by the Court. In this case there being no contest as to the amount due to tho Sheriff and he beiug entitled to a judgment for tho amount against tho plaintiff; there being apparent reason why one claim should not be pro tanlo extinguished by the other; and tho Court having done in this equitable pro ceeding what is right between tho parties, this Court will not, ou a more technicality, reverse tho judgment; more especially when it appears that by having a judgment rendered for the costs admitted to be due tho Sheriff, lie would have a valid claim for a set off against tho plaintiff’s demand.— Judgment affirmed. Marsden A. Cleckly vs. Beall, Spears & Co.—Equity from Richmond. Walker, Judge: Whore a party is suod, it. is his duty to make his delcuce promptly, i( he bus any. He cannot permit a judgment to he rendered against him at law and then sec it aside in equity, unless ho had a good defenoe of which ho was entirely ignorant; or he was prevented from making it by fraud or acci dent, or the act of the adverse party, unmixed with fraud or negligenco on his part (Code, 3074). Judgment nllirmed. Death of Theodore Bloi*.—lt become* our painful duty, this morning, to announce the demise of the above well known and highly esteemed citizen. Mr. Bloi* was born in the city of Bavan nab, on the 12th day of May, 1831. After graduating at the Chatham Academy with high honors, he entered the office of the Rejniblican newspaper, in 1848, as clerk, and continued in that positiou until bis brother William, who was commercial editor of this journal, died, when Theodore look his place, filling it in a most acceptable maimer, and subsequently became business manager of the Republican. In 1858 he relinquished this position and purchased the Morning News, of which journal he was proprietor nud publisher until the entree of Sherman’s army into Savannah. After the close of the war he became the business manager of the News and Herald, and remained in that capacity until failing health compelled him to relinquish its arduous duties, after which be retired to private life. Mr. Blois’ health for the past year has been gradually failing, and it wits evident death was near at hand. In hope of regaining his health he visited the North and different portions of the South, hut all in vain. llis constitution was too badly shattered, and although his health failed, lie was arranging for a trip to Europe, hoping to recuperate by the voyage. Though his sufferings were intense, he bore them with resignation up to the hour of his final dissolution, and expired yesterday afternoon, at five minutes before seven o’clock. Realizing his condition, and aware that his feeble strength was fast waning away, Mr. Blois summoned to his bedside quite a number of his relatives and friends, aud administered to them in eloquent language the advice of a dying Christian, and as his breath faded away, in audible tones ex claimed, “Never let your love of tlie world lead you to forget your God.” —Savannah Republics n, 1 burs day.

Circus Tent Prostrated A Tragic Event.— The heavy wind and rain of Tuesday night proved too much for tho giant pavilion of the New Orleans Cireus, and the canvas blew, flapped and strained in such a manner that the managers loosened the ropes and drew it down. Un fortunately the spot selected for the show is the lowest on the cairpus, and the water settled around the tent and rendered navi gation somewhat difficult. The animals objected seriously to being exposed to the weather, and testified their disapprobation by sundry growls, but they were not heeded until a Brazilian tiger made a dash on an African leopard in tho same cage and soon reconstructed tho unfortunate animal. The tiger was evidently alarmed at the unusual warring of the elements, and was in such a stew himself that he made a hash of his companion.— Charleston News. # Returxeo—-It it announced that that pure soul, known in the flesh as Foster Blodgett, has returned to Augusta. —Macon Journal.

CHARLES UAKDINIG, Sholapore, India. (From tlie Portland Monthly] Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowel complaints seem jus- now to be tie prevailing element, and any medicine that s every where acceptable, and ’that ia reliable, in very desirable acquisition. From what we ban seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Dari Pain Killer is this desideratnm. For the b« method of using it, we quote from the directioa: . “For common bowel complaints, give one i» spoonful iu a gill of new milk and molaseg, ii equal part£, stirred well together; lessen the dot for children, according to the age. If the pain be severe, bathe the bowels aud back with the nedi cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of the cholera morbus, sndden stoppages, etc. Re peat the dose every hour. “The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery cured was by taking one spoonful*of the Pw Killer iu one* gill of milk ami molasses shrad ■well together aud drank hot, at the same hoi bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let the dose be repeated every hoar until the patient is relieved.*’ If every persou wiio has reason wfeartw disease would provide themselves with a bottle of this medicine, and use as occasion required, f* believe a great amount of suffering andeckn* would be saved. jel*2—2a fX~THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE JL United States for the Southern Districtcf Georgia.
