tfljf Batin press. City Printer Official Paper lamest urn chmtiation. fmday - s ,sfH ; 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.

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 iSold bv all Medicine Dealers. de2B—2m* Administratrix Sale.

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.
