Great Remedies
SMITH'S TONIC STROP!
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
OR
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of tills celebrated medicine justly
ela-ins for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer*
ed to the puolic for the mfe, certain Hptidv and per
manenl cure of Ague and Fever .or Chills ami Fever
whether of shorter longstanding. He refeisto the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no ca.e
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and ca ried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole
families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health. It is, however
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure if its
use u continued in smaller doses for a week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi
cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after having three or four
loses of the Tonic, a sinele dose of HULL’S VE ?FT t.
BLE KAM’LY PII.LS will be sufficient.

COMME.VCEM EXT—-IS3T.
Buing at *— at Commencement,
the hotels crowded, the weather warm,
and not liking a crowd, I determined
to spend the week with a friend, a few
miles in the country. I attended the
Chapel on Sunday, and Monday morn
ing rode out to Judge B's. When I
arrived, the house, ya and and lot seem
ed to be in a bustle; every onebusv, ev
ery one talking; seemed to be uniting
great preparations for something. —
Thinking perhaps I was intruding, I
asked if any one was sick ? I was told
the Judge had gone to Commence
ment, and his wife was busy preparing
to go to-morrow. She soon came out ;
seemed wearied, but pleasant; said she
was only having the carr age cleaned
and the harne: s oik»T, intending to use ;
it the remainder of the week. Telling
her to make no stranger of me, but at
tend to her affairs, she soon left me to ;
myself. Being alone, I walked to the
lot. I suppose there was at least thir
ty-five negroes there; four or five clean- i
ing the carriage and oiling the harness, !
the others repairing the stables; but
all seemed interested in the carriage.!
I never saw more ado about a carriage;
but to do it justice, Imust sa}’, when
done, it was in perfect order, and a
new and fashionable one. The horses
—or rather, two g re y mares —werenlso
washed off and rubbed down,* looking
clean and nice. The carri ge driver:
however, a chunky, black negro, had a j
sore foot, and was complaining of not
being able to drive. On going to the
house, I found the Juclue had arrived,
and with him a man whom he intro
duced as Capt. Drew —but he called
him flat-foot. At dinner the Judge
asked about the driver’s foot; healing
it was no better, wondered how they
should manage about Commencement?
The Captain offered his driver. The
Judge and his wife both refused, say
ing they had a boy that had driven
them, and as the horses were young,
it would be best to have a driver they
were acquainted with. The Captain
said his driver was by far the best driv
er iik the country, and an old man—
would be careful and steady. The
Judge said they were mere colts, just
broke to harness, very spirited, and he
would prefer his own driver, if he could
drive. Mrs. B. said she would rather
have either of her drivers than a strang
er. The Captain seemed so anxious
and so kind, the Judge accepted; Mrs.
B. hesitating some time, at last con
sented.
Tuesday morning, we had an early
breakfast; all bustle and stir to get
ready. "When the carriage drove up—
the grey mares snorting, prancing and
chewing the bit—l tlio; -ght I had nev
er seen such a span; more like race
horses than family horses. The driver,
an old yellow man, with grey hair, and
whiskers, white shirt, pants and coat;
the coat a white linen frock coat with
a long skirt —and a white straw hat,
came up and took Ins seat on the box.
The Judge, giving him the whip, told
him he must not use it; the fillies would
not bear even the crack of a whip; had
never been whipped, and he must be
VERY careful and drive slowly; they
were colts, and company and music
excited them; only talk to them and
hold tight reins. After giving every
necessary direction and repeatin g it,
we (the Judge, his wife and myself)
took our seats and drove off, Drank |
driving very steadily all the way, but:
paying no attention to the road, drove ;
up and down hill, over gullies and
through branches and creeks just as
he did on good and level roads—the j
Judge speaking to him at every jolt—
We called at a Mend’s house; the !
Judge and myself walked up town,;
promised to be at the Chapel to wait
on his wife—also making an agreement j
to meet at this house in time to go j
home; the Judge again repeated his
injunction not to drive fast, and be
sure to attend to the fillies— don’t leave ;
them a minute —Frank promising due
obedience.
We had been up town about an hour
—the streets crowded with carriages
of various kinds, the side-walks crowd- j
ed with pedestrians of both sexes, when
hearing “get out of the way there!
and seeing all moving, I looked, and
here came Frank, his arms extended,
a rein in each hand, and working his
arms to the motion of the horses; the
skirt of his coat flying above the top
of the carriage, and the horses in a
fast trot, prancing and dancing as they
came. Frank paid no attention what
ever to the crowd, every one running
and scattering to get out of the way.
I felt very much frightened, thinking
every moment he would run over some
one or upset the carriage. Looking
round, there stood the Judge, pale
from fright, his eyes flashing with an-,
ger, every one asking, ‘Whose carriage j
is that?’ ‘Whose driver?’ ‘Did you
ever see such horses?’ ‘Yt hat does
that driver mean ?’ &c. As he drove j
up to the Chapel, the Judge and my-;
self followed without speaking a word, j
feeling sure some accident would hap
pen. He had to pass the Presbyterian j
church, around which was laid large I
sills, twelve or fifteen inches thick,
forming a square around the church. ‘
Frank, striking the corner, ran two
wheels over both sills. I thought it
would upset the carriage, but going so
fast saved it. When we went up, there j
were several ladies in the carriage (no '
hoops then) all excited. ‘I thought;
we were gone !” ‘Where’s my fan ?’ i
‘Where’s my parasol?’ ‘Just look at
my bonnet! Won’t Ibe a fright in the j
Chapel, and my bonnet in this fix ?’— j
Mrs. B. asking, ‘Why, Frank ! what on
earth makes you do so ?’
Frank—' \Vhy, Miss Elizabeth, I got
I you here safe; nobedy hurt ; there’s
; the fan, anu there’s the umberriller,
(pointingto them on the ground,);
i you never lost nothing, what’s the reas
on they didn’t take care of der things
i like you ?’
Mrs. B.—‘Well, why did you run
i over those sills ? wonder you did not
upset the carriiige !’
Frank—T never turned the carri-ge
1 over; never hurt nobody; what did
they put ’em here for? no business put
ting such big logs here, audeverybody
dm in’ here; ain’t no use no way, as I
! can see!’
We came up and assisted the ladies
out; picking up their fans Ac., hurried
them in and seated them, the Judge
giving F rank a look which made him
hang his head. Airs. B. sent him to
bring some more ladies to the Chapel. ;
Away went Frank, at full speed again, :
and soon returned, bringing several 1
ladies and gentlemen. We did not go
to help them out; I think the Judge
was rather ashamed, or perhaps afraid,
as every one was still asking whose
driver that was, and all cursing him. 1
Dr. Hale came up.—‘Judge I have
always used your carriage at Com* j
mencement; there are some ladies I
wish to bring here at the hotel.’
There it is, sir, at your command,
use it as you please.’
‘But the driver—where’s Pompey ?
where’s Burrell? I’m afraid of that
driver!’ (Cursing lum.)
The Judge replied, ‘Get in yourself
and make him do right; take it, take
it, go where you please.’
The Dr. got in, telling Frank to drive
to such a hotel. Away he went, in the
same manner, and halted at the bar
room door. The Dr. being full of fin-,
with a long moustache and goatee,
commenced pulling his goatee and
laughing, told him to turn round aud
drive to the other door. Frank turned
short round in the street, every one I
running to get out of the way—the
street being very much crowded. The
Dr. and the ladies drove up in the same
manner. Frank's coat still flying and !
his arms going back and forth with !
the motion of the horses, looked more |
like flying than driving. The fillies by j
this time, being so much excited at the !
crowd and music, they pranced as if I
they were walking on hot ashes. The
Dr., taking the ladies out, dismissed
Frank, saying he had no use for that
carriage this week.
The speaking over, Mrs. 8., intend
ing to drive in town, sent the ladies
home first; we assisted them in. The
Judge telling Frank to be very careful
—they were excited, and he must be
careful and drive slow, turned off, and
away went Frank like wild fire; going
ifito the midst of at least twenty car
riages, run against one, tearing off both
wheels on one side; of course turned it
over; leaving it so, went cn like light- |
ning, without even looking behind to
see the damage. That started the
crowd to cursing the driver, and raised
a stir among the other drivers ns well
as the crowd. The Judge went in the
Chapel, and remained there until the
carriage returned, not being willing to
bear the complaints—as every one had
something to say about that d—n yel
low driver.’
Frank returning, we seated the la
dies in the carriage, and going down
the street, a gentleman was introduced
to th'c Judge as Mr. , of Savannah,
who asked,
‘ls that your carriage, with the grey
horses ?’
‘Yes, sir.’
Then telling the circumstance in a
busty-crusty manner, the Judge said:
‘I am willing sir, to pay for repairing
it, and you may correct the driver as
you think proper,’
‘No, sir—no, not that—but to think
he tore the wheels off and left, without
even looking back or making any apol
ogy. I never saw such a rascal.’
‘Correct him, sir, as you please.’
‘No, sir, but be must do better.’
Frank drove up and Igot in, intend
ing to dine at with Mrs. B. She
asked Frank if he knew the house.
‘Oh, yes, ma’am—know every house
in this place.’
He drove on full tilt, and passed the
house some yards before we could stop
him; but we concluded we had best get
out and walk back, as wo did not know
what he would do next. After dinner
we were ready to leave and Frank not
to be found. I, of course, went in
search of him, and found him at the
hotel, where one of his fellow-servants
was waiting on the table. As I enter
ed, this servant was lecturing Frank,
saying:
"‘Whatmakes you sich a fool? Ev
erybody at dinner cussin’ you—sayin’
they never did see sich a fool as that
d—d jailer nigger with the white hors
es.’
I’m de best driver on dis ground— j
everybody see dat—and got de best |
horses.’
‘Yes, dat’s a fact; if you had any j
other horses dey’d break your neck and
tear up everything; but tain’t your j
fault.
‘Yes, everybody wants my horses, j
’cause I’ve got de best horses aud de
best|carriagc on de ground. Everybody I
knows it.’
‘Dat man’s cussin’ about liis car
riage, and about runnin’ over deni sills.
What made you do dat?’
‘I tell you, Jack,’ said Frank, laying
oft his hands, I’ve got de best horses on j
de ground and de best carriage. I
tell you it’s so. What’s de reason my
carriage didn’t break ? ’Cause it’s de
best. Dat carriage’s no ’count no how;
and no use tellin’ me ’boilt dem logs;
had no business dar, no how; no use |
for sich things in town, as J see-,
‘lf you don’t mind the Judge’ll whip j
you; "they say he’s mad about it.’
‘I tell you, Jack, don’t talk to me.
I’ll bring all out safe, and my mistis, i
I tell you she’ll talk for me—out talk j
any uu ’em.’
Knowing Mrs. B. to be a great talk
' er. I bad to laugh, and ordered Frank
j to get the carriage ready, as it was j
; time to go borne.
We met the Judge at the appointed
! place, and all getting in, started home,
the Judge mad and scolding Fi*ank all
i the way—swearing he had a great
mind to take him off the box and whip
him right there. Frank apologized all
! the way and drove pretty well, getting
borne safe. Mrs. 8., being afraid the
Judge would whip him, tried to make
tbe best of it—the Judge stiil cursing
everything - horses, driver, carriage,
sills, commencement and ail.
Next morning the carriage was at
the door early—' rank, in the same
dress, sitting and looking as the day
I before. The Judge, being in a good
i humor, talked, or rather persuaded
Frank to do better, telling him how
much his conduct would cost him in
having the carriage mended, and ‘for j
God’s sake, don’t break another to- :
day.’
Frank went on pretty well until we
arrived in town. The Judge got out,'
and Frank cracking his whip, away |
went the horses like lightning, every- '
thing and everybody moving, leaving
the way open for Frank. I was great
ly amused, but thought surely we’ll
have no accident to-dav, as everything
gives the track to us. After the speak
ing, Sirs. B. intending to call on some
friends, asked if he knew the house.
‘O, yes; know every house here.’
‘Well, drive there/
When he stopped, she looked out
and said, ‘this is not the place.’
‘O, yes, ’tis.’
I looked out and smiled. Mrs. B.
asked: ‘Where are we, Frank? I
never was here before.’
‘O, it’s the place, only it’s the back
doox\ I thought I’d have to bring the
horses round here anyhow.’
We were then at the back door of
tbe kitchen, the horses’ heads in the
horse lot, and no possible way to turn
without driving in the lot. Mrs. B.
thought it best to get out, saying if he
turned she had no idea where he’d go,
for it was Very possible that be did not
know the front of the house. We got
out, and actually went through the
kitchen into the house, to call on the
strangers.
Wo made several calls after dinner,
everything giving the street to us. No
accident occurred until, going to the
house appointed to meet the Judge,
Mrs. B. and myself looking back at the
crowd, we ran over something, then
stopped suddenly. Going so fast and
stopping so suddenly threw us on the
front seat, and before we recovered
Frank said—
‘ Thar! thar’s a dead nigger!’
Mrs. B. says—‘What in the world is
the matter ?’ when on looking out, two
little negroes Yvere carrying a child
about twelve mouths old towards the
house, the legs and arms of the child
hanging or swinging, as if it were dead
I felt alarmed. Mrs. B. said —‘ What
does make you do -so ?’
‘Well, you see, Miss Lizabetb, it did
not have any business here, in the first
place, so many folks passing; then, you
see, the child was so near the color of
the s.vad, that I couldn’t see it.’
*Go on/ said Mrs. 8., ‘don’t stand
here any longer.’
I suppose some dozen carriages had
passed while we were talking. When
we arrived at the house, Judge B. had
not arrived, and we went in to wait for
him, leaving Frank to take care of the
horses. I suppose it was near an hour,
when the Judge called us out, ready to
go home and very angry. Frank had
gone off, leaving the horses alone, and
Carriages passing to and fro. But the
Judge scolded all the way home, and I
thought several times he would take
him off the box and whip him. Mrs.
B. did all she could to pacify him—
neither of us saying a word about the
negro we had run over and perhaps
killed.
Next morning Frank drove Up, just
as he had the two previous mornings,
the Judge again in a good humor—
talked and persuaded lnm to do better
—Frank saying, ‘ Yes, sir,’ to every
thing.
Just as we took our seats, Frank
shut the door, saying, (in a very pleas
ant, cheerful manner,) ‘Miss Lizabeth,
we did’nt kill that nigger.’
‘How do you know ?’
‘That’s were I was when the Judge
come. I wouldn’t left the horses if it I
hadn’t been for that. I thought some- j
body ought to go and see about it.— |
We just run over its legs—didn’t hurt j
it much—no business thar, no how/ j
‘What negro?’ asked the Judge.
Mrs. B. and myself laughing so we j
could not answer him. To think Frank '
had received such a terrible scold, and
yvo had concealed, it seemed, the j
greatest crime of the week, and now,
for him to tell it himself, set us to;
laughing so we could not explain it.
The Judjje finally got angry Yvith us, j
and said we were as great fools as :
Frank. After telling him how it was, j
lie scratched his head and said, ,D —n
the negro, what will he do next ?’ We
went on pretty well again until we got
to toYvn, and I verily believe Fruuk
thought he must fly round in town —
every carriage and everybody giving
Yvay to us, wo got on without any ac
cident. The speaking over, I made
my arrangements to leave. As I came
down to the bridge, I saw the carri
ages going and coming from the river !
—going there every afternoon to wa- j
ter the horses and wash the Yvheels for
the evening drive. All at once, I saw
them scattering and getting out of the
street. Looking around, there came
Frank, coming at full tilt, every one
getting out of his way.
‘Where now, Frank ?’ I asked.
‘Don’t know, sir; but I see all of the i
other carriages here, and thought Id j
come too.’
Driving on and seeing them come
out of the river, he drove in, and get- j
ting too far, came very near drowning;!
but driving so fast saved b in; and, |
without letting the horses drink or J
washing the wheels, flew up the Frill like I
lightning. As I crossed the bridge I
looked back, and the Inst I ever Paw of
Frank, he was going full tilt up the bill
every one giving him the street.
What ever became of him and the
prancing greys, the broken carriage,
the dead negro or the Judge ± can’t
! tell, as that was the first and last com
mencement I ever attended at that
place. A Georgia Tittm.ua.

Extraordinary Spectacle In
Ten it esse e.
The most curious phenomenon ol
which we have ever heard occurred in
Oatham county on Wednesday last.
The day, it will be remembered, was a
remarkable hot one, so hot that most
people in the county had to seek the
shade about noon. At this hour, on
the farm of Ed Sharp, five miles from
Ashland, a sort of whirlwind came on,
passing over the neighboring woods,
taking up small branches and leaves of
trees and burning therein a sort of
flaming cylinder, that traveled about
five miles an hour, and developing in
size as it traveled. It passed directly
over the spot where a team of horses
were feeding and singed their manes
and tails up to the roots; it then swept
toward the house, taking a stack of
hay in its course, which it sot on fire.
It seemed to increase in heat as it went
and by the time it reached the house, it
immediately set the shingles on tiro
from end to end of the building, so
that in ten minutes the whole building
was wrapped in flames.
The tall column of traveling Caloric
th°n continued its course over a wheat
Held that had recently been cradled,
setting fire to all the stacks that were
standing in its course. Passing from
the field, its course lay over a stretch
of woods which reached to the river.
The gyeen laves on the trees were
crisped to a cinder for a breadth of 20
yardsflin a straight line to the Cumber
land. When the pillar of lire reached
the water, it suddenly changed its
course down the river, raising a col
umn of steam which went ip to the
clouds for about half a mile, when it
finally died out.
Not less than two hundred people
witnessed 1 his strange phenomena; and
all of them tell the same story about
it. The farmer .Sharp was left house
less by the devouring element, and his
tw T o horses were so affected that no
good is expected to be got out of them
in the future. Several withered trees
in the woods through which it passed
were set on fire an 1 continue burning
still.—Nashville Press, 20th.
Military Perries.— Speaking of the
puppies who recently hissed General
Blair for having mentioned in respect
ful terms the names of Generals Lee
and Johnson, the New York World
says:
The men we have named, and most
!of their comma! colleagues, are of
! those who went into the war early and
| came out early, and with no increase
i to their reputation, unless nothing can
|be added to nothing. Their doub’e
I object seems to be to keep alive the
j embers of civil war and to ccdebrate
themselves. But do these self cele
; brants suppose their hisses at Blair
and the gallant men ho mentioned will
extinguish the latter ? Will not“ Lee,
Johnson and Jackson be heard of” just
| as much and in better light than many
of those who hissed their names? —
For instance, Lee invaded Pennsylva
nia: so did Sheridan the Shenanhoah
Valley. The first assailed an army;
the second burnt barns and standing
crops, and boasted that be had left
the country as bare as the palm of a
baby’s hand.” Which is the manlier
and more christainly ? Compare
Johnston and Jackson, with Butler,
Banks, and Neal Dow. What warfare
!on women and children and spoons,
and plate and pianos stains the record
of the former ? Bah ! gentlemen your
hisses are but the anticipation of what
posterity will give you.

Dire c t Importation. —Yesterday,

some indication of the out-reaching
and enterprising disposition of Atlanta
merchants If our business men, by
direct importation, can reduce the cost
of goods, ve are glad to see I hem
adopt it. It argues enterprise on their
