All communications on every business connected with the Daily Prkss, must be addressed to the Proprietor, E. H. Pughe, Augusta, Ga. Patronage of Home Industry. In continuation of our remarks on this important subject, we may add a few ad ditional suggestions. We have already laid down the proposition that the en couragement and support of agricultural and industrial enterprises is really of more importance to the South at this time than even the admission of her Senators and Representatives in Con gress ; and why is this ? Because, hav ing just emerged from a long, bloody, and disastrous war, her every interest is prostrated, all her resources are dormant, and she is in almost an abnormal con dition. To bring back prosperity and plenty to her borders, is the first duty of every citizen; while the admission of our Senators and Representatives in Con gress would give us no more power in that body than we now possess. In brief, we can get along very well without the one, and we cannot without the other. Why', then, should we disturb our equanimity or perplex our brains about political affairs, when there is so much to be done in a wider and more important field ? Why should we stand with heads uncovered and hats in hand, vainly beseeching admittance to the Council halls of the nation, while every interest of our unfortunate section of the Union is crying aloud to us to be up and doing, to work, to bend ourselves to the task of regeneration with all the ener gies that we are capable of? Rather let us erect factories and foundries, machine shops, and furnaces; rebuild our ruined sanctuaries, establish schools and colle ges ; turn up the soil, plant, sow, and reap the rich harvest of plentf and pros perity which will surely follow honest industry and untiring energy. With white labor properly protected and properly directed, the rich produc tive soil of these States will once more be made to “blossom as the rose,” the golden tassels of the Indian corn will once more proudly wave in the gentle Southern breezes, and the snowy fields where old King Cotton was wont to wield his sceptered sway, will again beautify the valleys and the hill-sides and plenty will smile on every side. Not only put your manufactories in operation; but when the water wheel and the steam engine have per formed their duty; When the loom, and the spindle, and the anvil have ful filled the objects for which they are in tended; when the fabrics and the im plements have been produced or fash ioned into shape, let us purchase them here rather than, go abroad for similar articles. Let us keep our money at home; let us encourage our mechanics nnd laborers ; let us support our own industry and enterprise; for herein re ally lies the secret of our independence —not a political independence, for to ob tain that we have vainly essayed and sig nally failed ; but an independence ol'far more importance, more enduring and more worthy of our most strenuous efforts. Such an independence as this will wit ness every valley and every hill top crowned with the products of our soil; every city swarming with a busy and prosperous people ; every town, village and hamlet increasing in wealth and population. Such an independence will make us great, wealthy, prosperous and respected, a power in the nation, hon ored and admired abroad. Such an in dependence is what we want—such an independence is what we must strive to work for. —I was riding recently in Missouri, in company with a native. Some one on the roadside asked him, “How is the folks ?” “Plum,” was the brief and only reply. “How are yours?” “Square,” was the solitary ribald answer. I found that plum and square were used beyond the Masonic lodges, and had come to mean “all right” in Western phrase. —A shark would make a great mis take in swallowing a couple of doctors. They would be sure not to agree upon his stomach. —The losses by fire last year in New York amounted to eighty million dol lars. —The worst line to get tangled in is crino-line. It makes a fellow feel dis. tressingly. The Rail Road bridge over the Hudson, at Albany, is completed. —Maggie Mitchell is playing the inev itable “Fanchon" in New York. Municipal Election.

It acts on the liver, keeps the bowels free, producing an evacuation of the morbid bile, in cases ot billiousness, and improves the complexion and general health. Some who have taken it have said that it had produced but little action on the bowels, but their complexion had improved, and they have felt betfer since taking it, but did not know whether it was this medicine that had improved their health or not. If it did not act on the liver and purify the blood, so many, especially females of a billious tem perament, would nqt so generally say, “their complexion had improved and they have felt better since taking it.” m h 7-1 Coal!
