A South Carolina Commissioner
Visits Washington.
Tlie Charleston Ctmrirr of December
22il contains the followiug interesting
statement:
Tin: Kk!s»»»kp o*»*mimiovk* from
Sobth CaaoMS* to Wtsnt.viiTov
I„ our column* on Friday appeared
a special dispatch from oar Washington
correspondent (“Leo"), dated 20th
inst., stating that “ the deputation from
the South Carolina Legislature returns
with the assurances almt the State wid
be admitted upon accepting the Con
stitutional Amendment.
Subsequently w« received the New
York Tribune of Thursday, the 20th
inst., containing a letter from Washing
ton. which stated that “a leading mem
ber of tho South Carolina Legislatur
had arrived here ugtonj a tew
days ago, bavin utbd by the 1
members of . to confer with
the Bepu’ aOers of Congress
in regn ,-esent condition of the
nflV oouutry,” etc. This letter
many statements in addition
u above, which, we are informed,
.e in no wise true, being altogether the
speculations of the writer, and no doubt
gotten up for sectional purposes.
The Tribune's Washington corres
pondence of the following day, Friday,
the 21st instant, contains the following
paragraph, which the writer has; the
honesty to say is a -‘current rumor," but
which we are authorized to say is as
far from being true as were the first
statement of the Tribune's correspond
ent :
“There is a very current minor here j
that the amendment question,has been |
arranged with -the South Carolina rip-j
resentatives, and that they have pledged j
its acceptance by the Legislature, pro
vided that no further conditions art
exacted, which, it is asserted the leaders
of the Republican party have agreed to.
The rumor is a most important one it
correct, as the admission ot South Caro
lina to Congress, without further condi
tions than the acceptance of the amend
meet, might induce ail the other States
to go and do likewise."
Our Washington correspondent “Leo,”
in his letter published elsewhere, like
wise refers to the visit of the reported
commissioner, and who is also somewhat
in error as to the main facts of the case,
which we will proceed to relate as oh
tained from a source beyond question.
It appears that prior to the close ol
the session of our Legislature, which
adjourned on Friday last, a large majority
of the members of the Senate consulted
together as to the propriety of sending
a member of that body to Washing
ton, to conjer with the President on the
probability of the State being restored
to her place in the Union should she
adopt the Constitutional Amendment.
e. 'onsidta*...!; it .-i. Med ihr'
a nee ot such a course, auu one .heir .
number was selected for the mission. j
The gentleman selected was Colonel I
T. C. Weatherly, Senator from Marlboro’ j
District, who immediately proceeded to
Washington, and sought an interview
with the President. Upon his arrival
he found that the President was occu
pied in a Cabinet meeting, and being
disengaged, be determined to make
good use of his leisure moments, by
obtaining interviews with the leading
Radical members of both Houses of
Congress, and conversing with them
freely upon the subject of the Constitu
tional Amendment, and the prospects of
the admission ol South Carolina to her
rights upon its adoption. Colonel
Weatherly succeeded in making the
acquaintance of several of the leading
Radical Senators and Representatives,
with whom he conversed freely, and
was assured by them that the Constitu
tional Amendment was the ultimatum
of Congress to the Southern States;
that its adoption bv them would remove
all obstacles to .their to
representation in Congress.
Colonel Weatherly, however, had a
subsequent interview with President
•Johnson, to whom liu had beet) informal
ly deputized. We learn that the inter
view with the President was of some
duration, as well as free and candid.
As far as we can learn, and we believe
that we are correctly informed on the
subject, the President is unchanged as
to his views in reference to the uncon
stitutionality of the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution, which is agita
ting all sections, and which, it persisted
in, must be a source of great evil to the
whole country.
\ - ’• 1 : -f-Pvi«v with the
■Jbv.iM.Mrf. WS ; ,i l >rn id, dnr.r
whicil .<• >; ■ • ; :
Southern Stales woutu .........
their position as regards the Coustitu
tional Amendment, and steadfastly re
ject it, believing it to be an advance
step to the inauguration of a despotism.
In doing which he said ho hoped they
would be guarded in their reusous as
signed for its rejection and avoid any
language that might, by any possible
means, be tortured to give offence to the
opposing party.
The President feels confident from a
recent decision given by the Supreme
Court, that he will be sustained by that
law-abiding butty; and that in a short
time a returning sense of reasim will
point out some middle ground between
the Constitutional Amendment, and the
projected Territorial scheme, upon
which our country may become united,
when peace will again smile upon us
with all its blessings.
A miserable must
be that being who, during Christmas
week, Ims no one to love—no little heart
to make happy.

\ ; PER A THOROUGH TRIAL
ume ruble living witnesses, has
o be
. ICINE OF THE AGE.
thou - have been many inedVi
iial prep brought before the public
since the . xluction of Perry Davis’
Vegetable i . Killer, mid largo amounts
expended .u their introduction, the Pain
Killer has continued steadily-to advance in
the estimation of the world as the best
family medicine ever introduced. As an
internal and external remedy, it is truly a
source of
Joy to the World!
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that
the sales have constantly increased, and
upon its own merits, as the proprietors have
not resorted to advertising to gain lor it the
rank it now hold* among ti e great number
of preparations of the present time. The
efleet of the Pain Killer upon tho patient,
when taken internally in cases of Colds,
Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Choleia, Dys
entery, and other affections of the system,
has been *ruly wonderful, and has won for
it a name aui«»ng medicinal preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in
removing pains, as an external remedy, in
casts of Burns, Bruises, Sprains,
Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of
suffering, has secured ft• r it such a host of
testimony, as an almost infallible remedy,
that it will he handed down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
the nineteenth century. The magical ef
fects of the Pain Killer, when taken or used
according to directions, are certain. You
have only to he sure that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to the directions
in its use, and you will admit its wonderful
medicinal properties.
The genuine Perry Davis* Pain Killer is
no* put up in panel bottles, with the words
Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer blown in tho
glass; and with two steel engraved labels
on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of
Perry Davis, the original inventor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note of
hand. None others can he relied upon us
genuine. Prices of bottles 12£ cents, 26
cents, 60 cents, and sl, respectively.
Valuable Medici e —We presume no
medical preparation offered to the pub
lic h>»a been more thoroughly tc-ted than
PERRY DAVIS* Pa IN KILLER. Thou
sands of persons, were they called upon to
do so, would cheerfully testify that they ’
have used it for various ills, with the most
satisfactory success. It is within our own
knowledge that an immense amount of suf
fering has been relieved by it. Its pro
prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis k Son, save
no pains or expense in order to satisfy tho
public, l oing strictly honorable men, they
observe the utmost uniformity in the man
ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer.
The materials of which it is composed arc
carefully s< lectcd—none but the best quality
bring used. By these means the high repu
tation which the Pain Killer has long since
ac paired is, at all times, triumphantly sus
tained. In view of these facts, wo are by
no means surprised to learn that Messrs.
Davis it Ron's sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing. \\ bile wc congratulate
our fronds generally that so valuable a
preparation as the Pain Killer is placed
within their reach, wc must be permitted to
rejoice at the well-merited success of its
liberal and enterprising proprietor.—l'ravi

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen. Professors of the
highest Opthalmic talent in Augusta, Ga., and
in the Union :
Arct’STA, Ga., December Bth, ISftfi.
I lave examined tho (Hasses **f ])r. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. Ilia
testimonials are Very numerous and exceed
ingly fluttering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
Arc sta, Ga.. Dec 7, 1860.
I do most willingly hear my testimony in
favor of the superiority of the Australian
Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
over all other kinds. They are constructed
upon tbe best established and understood prin
ciples ( ? optics, and their adaptation to tho
hu<itan eye in its different conditions of vision
is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
effort. In mv opinion, none others should be
used, since the eyes once used to those do not
set m to gr w old. and by having a f eus at
any j oint of the surface, they appear to re
store ihe eyes to their Youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FOLD, Af. V.
ArcusTA, Ga. Dec. 7. 18*6.
I have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
in justice to the Professor, must say that his
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants of almost every eye, where tho
vision is in any way imperfect, lhc Professor
selected for ine a pair of his Australian Crystal
Glasses, which (ire of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. I yield
this testimony in favor of the Professor's
Glasses most cheerfully.
C. 0. PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga.. Dec. 7, 1866.
I very cordially recommend IVof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
DeSAUSsUKE ford, m. D.
Augusta. Ga., Dec. 7. 1860.
We have examined tbe lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to any
we have seen. They are admirably adapted not
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve the wcariuess of vision
which constant study produces. Many of tho
Glasses .are of new and ingenious contrivance.
We cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scientific optical assistance.
H. H. BIG NON, M. L>.,
JOHN Is. FOLK MAN, M. D.
W. U. DOUGHTY, M. D.
Yv M. 11. CLARKE,
GREGORY DUGGAN.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and have tried them. *
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
wo i km an ship, and fur tbeir power to assist the
vision. l>r. M. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study of his life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
He is a native of Berlin. Prussia, and has
studied there, but has tor teveral years been a
resident of New York. The diseased and aged
will find great relief frorr. the use of Ins (Hasses.
I have seen numerous testimonials to the ex
cellence of his Glasses, and to his skill as an
Optician, and 1 would recommend him to all
whose vision is impaired either through age or
disease. JOSEPH K. WILSON,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Savannah, Ga,*» Nov. 29, 1866.
I hereby certify that Mrs. Davcnjort has
been affected with Amorousis for about two
months ; it became almost complete. On the
2d of November last, according to my own
advice, she placed herself under the charge of
Dr. M. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly
improved. She can now read small print
with or without glasses.
J URIAH HARRIS, M. D.
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris* has above
said. W. N. WAKING, a\l. D.
Savannah, Nov. 26, 1566.
I'rojertor M. Bernhardt, Optician and Oculitt :
1 cheerfully state to you that a further ac
quaintance, with you and your must excellent
Glasses. has coo firmed my first impressions as
to jom»* fikiU and their superiority ever tbo
general run, and 1 recommend all wl.ow
vision is in any way impaired, as mine nt for
tunately is, to avail themselves of your science.
Respectfully, yours,
K. D. ARNOLD, *M. P.
