The Grand Jury will have to decide whethr ore not we shall have a County i/iurt. These tribunals have been favored v only three Grand Juries in the State, „and i strange to say they belonged to coun ties that had no large towns. This Cour t will be very costly, will provoke litiga tion, arid instead of clearing the jail will add to the number of inmates. The ex periment will be a very expensive one, and the county bad better let it alone. A judge, solicitor and clerk must he paid. Jurors must be tuken from business at inconvenient times, simply to try some minor offence, and dockets will be filled with very trifling cases. We have enough courts. The people ought not to be taxed to support another. Thero are, however, two sides to the subject. Wc have given our own views. We naked the opinion of an old lawyer, whom we met yesterday, and lie replied in language somewhat like what follows : "I have not given the subject much con sideration, for it does not concern me. On the question of espouse I think the county would bo benefitted by some such jurisdiction. It would readily dispose of petty offences, and those alone, are prev alent. Some offenders are brought up before magistrates, and in default of bond are sent to jail. Here they must remain until the Superior Court meets, which is only twice a year, and they must do so, if they were only committed on the day of the Court. There is a man now in jail charged with stealing a hog, who lias been there since about Christmas; one hun dred and fifty dayH. Probably, there are "(her like cases. I think the establish ment of the Court would boa good thing, if someone of brains is appointed ns judge.” “The New Departure” Victoria Cuf.mx Woodhull fob President. Many of our susceptible young men have been agitated by the appearance in town for two days of tw r o elegant looking and magnificently attired young women, heavily vailed. The secret is out. They were authorized emissaries of Airs. Wood hull. who was recently nominated by a convention which met in the city of New Vork, as a candidate for President, against the two Republicans, Greeley and grant. It is understood that they made arrange ments for the assemblage of a State Con vention to place doctors in the field This they have done in other States. They departed hence eu route to New Orleans. One thing is certain: as between grant and Greeley, such a ticket will receive many votes. Removing River Obstructions —The ( ongrossnmn Bigbec writes to Mr. Walter H. Johnson, that Congress will not appro priate money to build a post office in Co lumbus. Places of five times its inhabi tants have had applications refused. He is ire however that at the next session an ap propriation can beliad for cleaning out the t'kattahooehoe river. For ourpart we would rother have this done than to havo seve ral postoflices built. It will advance the city most and add greatly to her prosperi ty. Our river trade is very valuable. The Ice Company.—Negotiations to wards securing the site of the Carter Fac tory have failed. Owners asked too much money. Tho company will commence next week the building of a house oppo site the Columbus Iron Works and near the Girard bridge. Tho establishment will bo run by steam. Tho Columbus Iron Works are now working on the ma chine. Mr. Muhl, the inventor, now in New Orleans, has been written for and lie is expected here this week. The company needs more money. The additional stock should be taken at once. The prospects for success is excellent. If tho desired increase in stock be secured at once, the machine will be making ieo in thirty days. llow Printers Advertise. —We have received from Geo. P. Rowell & Cos., pub lishers and newspaper advertising agents, their American Newspaper Directory for It is quite a valuable book. In nviug the list it also has a description of towns and cities in which the papers are published. Journals recommend adver ting. and they preach what they prac tice. In this book are 339 pages tilled with the paid for notices of the various publications. A rough estimate shows s'me $20,000 have been thus expended in one book by the papers. The volume is ' ■ gotten up and handsomely printed. Cutting Affair. Couch Chadwick, in a fight at Hatchachnbbee, Ala., a few has since, with one Stewart, was badly cut with a knife. Couch is a hard case, t ; '"sc of the difficulty—whisky, too much. Immigration. —We are indebted to Col. 1 Schuller, a member of the Immigra turn Committee appointed bv the Legisla ! "' re at its late session, for a pamphlet containing Lis elaborate and instructive essays on the subject of immigration of ‘pital and population to the South, origi contributed to the Southern Maga -, lue - At our earliest leisure we will give IJLS important subject our careful atten tion. * "o Georgia editors sauntering around •n the Exposition buihjing at Nashville paused before a painting representing I'avid in the act of hacking off the head ? f Says editor No. 1, “Who (hie-; Editor 2, “That’s—that’s Daviel ntting off the head of Teeumsay.” (Te cuiusah.)

Mrs. Rountree lost 120 acres of cotton, seven miles from Perry, by the storm of Saturday. John Waterman, of the Houston Home Journal, has so far recovered from his • wounds as to be able to leave Macon for his father's residence in Talbot ton. The railroad from Fort Valley to Perry is graded for seven miles. the Houston county factory has sus pended operation five or six weeks, while tho waste ways are being repaired. Tho people of Ilayneville in two days subscribed $30,000 to the Atlantic, Fort \ alley and Memphis railroad. The Georgia Press Association, while at Nashville, was presented with a beauti ful pyramid cake, valued at sixty dollars. This cake was, on motion, presented to Air. Willingham, of the LaGrange Repor ter. AVhen the Camilla City Council orders a jMind drained, “a man of means” rolls up his pants, gets into the water, stands on a fence and orders the work stopped, and it is stopped. -Mr. L. H. Bryant, who lives in the neighborhood of Camilla, was shot by a negro laborer in the leg, the ball fractur ing the bone. A brother of Air. B. was killed some time since in Florida, by a negro, who was very soon thereafter elect ed a member of the Legislature. An old two-story brick house in Augusta, said to have been used as a State House by the Legislature when Augusta was the capital of the Stale, is to be dismantled preparatory to erecting anew structure. Those who were boys in 1806 do not re member when it was built. More corn from out West will be used this year in Talbot county, than has been since the war. A few planters in Talbot county have examined their seed that failed to come up, and in nearly every instance, have found the seed defective. If the land has to be replanted a very small crop of cotton will lie the consequence, there probably being not enough seed in the county to replant all the ground needing a stand. So says ti e American. Mrs. W. J. Thompkins died in Webster county on the 16th. Col. W. J. Patterson, one of the oldest citizens of Ainericus, is dead. Sunday morning the residence of Dr. J. B. Ilinklc, in Ainericus, was burned. Loss $.1,000 —insurance $3,100. A telegram received at Amerieus an nounces the death of Capt. W. Lester, of Florida, which event took place on the afternoon of the 18th inst. Air. AVia. Glover, of Sumpter county, left at the Republican office on Tuesday, two cotton stalks over a foot in height,each having three blooms. What does it avail, farmers, to show Ihese garden stalks? They give a false impression of the crop and tend to reduce prices. '1 hat man did not havo another bloom on his plantation, we will guarantee. In Rome two negro girls robbed Air. Stanberry’s safe of slll, and a colored boy picked Mr. Alexander’s pocket of $lO. All arrested. J. C. Norris has been released at War rington on giving SI,OOO bond.

Carleton, the publisher, informs Mrs. Westmoreland that “Heart-Hungry” is now in its seventh edition. Rumors are various, says tho Mountain Signal, in regard to recent rich gold dis coveries. Air. AlcAfee is jubilant and others are encouraged. The valuable property of the Yalioola still stands idle. The wheat crop of Alonroe and Butts counties, it is estimated, will make sixty per cent, of a good yield. The oat crop is a failure, owing to drought. Os the fruit crop “there will he enough for eat ing and drying, but none for stilling.” A little daughter of Mr. Jas. AI. Thomp son, of Butts county, had one of her bauds cut off a few days since, by a playmate. Hatchet used. Mr. A. Owen, of Monroe county, fell instantly dead, one day last week, while plowing. On Wednesday night last the residence of Mr. John W. Mays, near Smith’s Mill, on the Ocnmlgee, was destroyed by fire. Loss about SI,OOO. Air. Graham has been mowing his clover and says it will yield three tons to the acre. Some was four feet high. Farm is on the Chattahoochee river, in Alilton county, four miles from Duluth.

Ellis A Bro., of Alacon, have bought 1,000 bales of cotton in the last few weeks j —bought 374 Tuesday. Reports from Bib4>, Crawford and Alou roo counties, are that not one-eighth of the cotton planted is yet up, and some planters lack as much as a hundred acres of having their crop planted, owing to the drouth. Corn is small, and, with but few exceptions, is in good condition. Air. Geo. Foster, Jr., an architect in Macon, while practicing on an elevator rope, Wednesday, became exhausted, fell, and had both arms fractured just above the wrists, some ribs broken, and head much contused. Ho may recover. A Savannah darky, who took two over , coats, three chairs, a double-barrel shot gun, lamp and water pitcher, thinks it quite hard that ho should be jugged “je:- for dat.” I A movement is on foot m Savannah to | present a local bill to the next Legislature 1 abolishing the system of allowing Justices of the Peace to receive fees for their ser vices in criminal cases, and, instead, to pay them a stated reasonable salary. The Secretary of the Treasury has con firmed John E. Bryant, Deputy Collector, and G. 11. Stone, Auditor and Cashier, of tho Savannah Custom-house. They do funny things in Savannah. A i little negro accidently killed a negro baby. The baby’s father is now sneing the boy's father for burial expenses. S. P. Dickson, of Savannah, the new Inspector of Customs, had his hat knocked over his eyes by D.- 11. Spearing, colored, a former Customs official. Spearing was arrested. In the guardhouse he tapped r policeman over the snout. The third day of the Savannah Regattf was a yacht race at Montgomery, withir 12 miles of the city. Run seven miles and return. Eight entries —first class, Rainbow and Wanderer. Second class, Josic Ann, Anna W, Carrie and Minnie Third class, Rachel Alills and Annie. Th( result was as follows —three heavy squall: during the run: Anna W, 3:1 1; Alinnio 3:18; Anna, 3:20: Josie, 3:331; Rachel 3:384. The Wanderer merely sailed ovei the course. The Rainbow was disable! and withdrawn. The schooner Oconee brought iron: Ruatan, direct, a cargo of 700 bunches oi "bananas, 10,000 plantains, and 13,000 co coanuts to Savannah. A young Swede, not liking the genia clime of Bainbridge, eloped last week with twenty-fine dollars. Griffin has a hftndrod thousand dolla: Savings Bank, with forty thousand dol- J lars paid in its coffers. Griffin has concluded not to buy a town j clock. Sensible. Better give money to public schools. A Griffin colored drayman jumped from a moving train and fell on his head. Had he fallen on any other portion of his body ho would have been killed. Love, hope, pity and joy are foursisters. Four beautiful girls whose office in the world is to make all people happy—the office of all girls. So said Olive Logan in her Savannah lecture on the Passions. A letter writer says Ben Hiil is for Gree- i ley without sugar; Judge Stephens will ! I take the Baltimore Convention unadulter- ! ated; while Gen. Toombs favors holding ; i off, and if trade it is, why let it be the best possible trade. Whit Anderson fired his pistol at a res taurateur in Atlanta, named Campbell. Nobody hurt. Judge Harris is lecturing on the early | history of Milledgeville. I The Grand Commandery of Georgia met I j at Amerieus oil the 22d—130 knights at- ; ■ tended—Sir Samuel Lawrence, Grand j blaster of the Allisons of Georgia, delivered j j the address. Mrs. Gee, living in Athens, died very suddenly on Alonday afternoon. Athens comes to the front with a bull j ! snake seventeen feet long. The Baptist State Convention has given Dr. P. H. Mell SI,OOO in gold to visit Europe for the benefit of his sight. Athens has voted $25,000 to the Geor j gia University, and hopes citizens will ! raise an additional $25,000. The Atlanta correspondent of the Grif j fin News says the Savannah Radical Ring i have resolved to nominate Win. Alark ham, now of New York, but formerly of j Atlanta, for Governor. Loyal Leagues and the National Guard. Markham will 1 return in time for the Radical State Con- 1 ; vention, which will be called to Atlanta in August, and expects to receive the nomination then. North Georgia Rads I want Conley or Dawson A. Walker. Some j of the “Revenue Ring” addressed a letter to Bigby some time since asking him to j allow his name to be used before the Ma ! con Convention, and pledging Idm their support as a candidate for Governor, but this was only a. ruse to retain their own | places, through Bigby’s influence. It was “too thin” and the principal in the movenr-Jit is now being investigated for malfeasance in office. Grant is greatly disturbed by the Rad ical dissensions iu Georgia. Mr. Abernethy, of Cave Springs, last Saturday, went to hive a swarm of bees, took a drink of brandy, and was found in field dead.

Appleton & Cos., 549 and 551 Broadway—lß72. This is the title of a volume of 273 pa ges, just from the Press. It is said the ' Schofield Iron Works are to he removed from Atlanta to Chattanoo ga. It cost $500,000 and pays out to the employees $5,000 per month. An Atlan ta writer says the cause of removal is that President Wadley will not give it any work. President Wadley has control of 800 miles of railway which require not less than 8,000 tons of new rails in a year, costing about $600,000 to keep in repair. Air. J. T. Hunter, tax collector of Clark county, accidentally shot himself with a small pistol on Saturday last. J utlge Clarke, of Macon county Superi or Court, sentenced Holsenbake and Lloyd, to be hanged by the nock until they were dead, on Friday the 28th of June, for the murder of George W. Fish. John AI. Neal, the postmaster, at George town,was fined by Judge Harrell, of the Superior Court, for some offense. The Sheriff tried to arrest him at the Court house door, when Neal drew his pistol on him. The sheriff went back to get his weapon, when the Judge ordered a posse to secure Neal. They did it after a strug gle, and Neal was knocked down with a stick. Judge Harrell then fined a bearer of concealed weapons $l5O. The Savannah Republican does not think Air. Greeley the strongest of the Republican party that could be nominated. The editor says: In the great West, where we are to look | for nearly all the acquisition of Republican ! strength to the Conservative ticket, Judge | Davis will get three votes to Greeley’s one. We are convinced of this from I actual personal association with Western ! delegates at the Cincinnati Convention. | The Revenue Roformersand Free Traders I would go for him in a body, and many of | them will not vote for Greeley. Having | opposed all the usurpations of Grant and | the Radical party while Greeley was de j fending them, he would also command the hearty and unterrified vote of the Dem ocrats of the South. j Tho members of the 36th Congresss j from Georgia who are excluded from the ! benefits of the amnesty bill, which passed j Congress the other day, are : Alfred Iver ] son and Robert Toombs, Senators; and Peter E. Love, Alartin J. Crawford, Thos. j Hardeman, Lucius J. Gartrell, John AV. j H. Underwood, James Jackson, John J. Jones, members of the House of Repre sentatives. Thero were no members from this State in the 37th Congress, the State j having seceded before the assembly of that body. An Atlanta correspondent of the Savan nah Advertiser has this: The Grantites have determined to give I tlio cold shoulder to all the Southern States, excepting Alabama, North Caro lina, South Carolina, and Louisiana, in | which they propose to concentrate their j efforts. It is stated that tho Grand Cy i clops of the party at Washington have I firmly declined to extend any monied aid - to their Georgia brethren, on the ground ’ that the State is hopelessly Democratic. A correspondent of the Milledgeville 1 Union suggests Hon. Julian Hartridge as a candidate for Governor. Messrs. Seymour and Foster. Jr., of : Macon, are better. Christopher Conner, a young lad, had j his foot so badly injured in Dixon & Johnson's saw mill, in Savannah, that it : had to be amputated. The Savannah delegation to visit Wash ington in behalf of the Great W estern 1 Canal, have returned, and report to Coun cil that a favorable disposition is niani ■ fested by the members of Congress and other officials to foster this enterprise as a national work to be carried out by the general government.

At a pomologieal talk in Atlanta, the other day, President Wallace stated that he drove twenty nails in a Alurrillo cherry tree almost dead, and it was now bearing finely. The Atlanta Sun intimates that opiates and stimulants, not insanity, caused Dr. Westmoreland to cut up those late jail capers. The enormous sum of $4.14,089 has been paid to claimants against the West em and Atlantic Railroad since it was 1 leased. Out of this Isaac P. Harris, treas urer of the road, received $60,175 60. He is one of the individuals under indict ment for robbing the road. During the year 1871, and up to Bullock’s flight, that worthy Governor drew SII,OOO for “inci dental expenses of Executive department.’ The expenditures of the State for the year exceeded the receipts by $11,000; so says an Atlanta correspondent of the Savannah Advertiser. The same correspondent appears to be advocating Angier’s claims for re-election as Treasurer. He says Angier was never a Republican in the true sense. If he had 1 not been such “Sharp and Quick” Hulbert would never have counted him in. Hul bert was too keen to commit any such j folly as that. After awhile Bullock and the rest will be swearing they “allers wore Dimicrats.” Vic think Ilulbart’s allowing- j any man to get into office is proof positive ; he was a Radical in the celebrated count j four years ago. There arc plenty of able | and true men in Georgia who were always ; true, and from such should our officers be l selected. The residence of Thos. B. Glover, who : lived five or six miles from Amerieus, was destroyed by fire on Monday last. The first car load of coni ever shipped j to Geneva in bulk, was received by A. T. Candler & Cos., last weak, from St. Louis, j AIo. Early wheat is now ready to cut. The I heads are well filled and the prospects for ! a good yield in Talbot county is flattering.

So says the LaGrange Reporter. Miss Philo Sutton, of Greensboro, and Air. Hansell Dodd, an old citizen of Bald win county, arc dead. Cartersville has eleven whisky shops— seven kept by church members. Dr. Wil liams, near Cartersville is cutting farm oats.

The Wylie lot, corner Peachtree and Walton streets in Atlanta, was sold to Mr. Hunuicutt for $16,000. A lawyer of Atlanta calls attention of the Sun to the fact that the legal essence of General Gartrell’s motion in arrest of judgment in the ease of the State, against I. 1). O’Neal, consisted of the omission of the dotting of an i, and the raising of a £ a little higher and crossing it, in the orig inal bill of indictment upon which he was tried. It appeal's to be “Lutlo” instead of Little. Air. Penn Bedell, against whom the Grand Jury of Fulton county found a true bill for the murder of policeman Cas tleberry, has given the required bond, of SIO,OOO, Mr. Burt. Berry, of Newnau, becoming bondsman. The Albany News is informed that the American Bond holders are endeavoring to mature apian for completing the Bruns wick and Albany Road to Enfaula, but in consequence of the refusal of the Euro pean holders to co-operato with them, no definite action has yet been taken. Bonds to the extent of $1,800,000 are held by capitalists in Europe, and they confidently depend upon the State to pay the cou pons and bonds at maturity. Governor Smith construes the State Aid statutes, so as to make them harmonise with the Con stitutional provision prohibiting State indorsement beyond one-half the cost of construction and equipment, and there fore it makes no difference how much the act authorises, or whether the narrow gauge or broad be adopted. There must be a dollar subscribed and paid in for every dollar the State indorses. An innocent countryman stirred up a U. S. Marshal, in Savannah, by the pre sentation of a forged bill. ■ They try the hardness of negro skulls, in Savannah, with brick bats. The brick are usually broken in the concussion.

Wadley allows the Coast depot. The Savannah City Council has passed j a resolution expelling all boys from the i fire department—boys being under 21. This ought to break up the department. A correspondent of the Savannah News, i writing from Boston, Thomas county, j says that there is a man living in Colquitt i county, who now has his third wife and a family of thirty children.

They purchased a bottle of whisky and went down to a spring, stop ped and drank up the liquor. After pass ing on from the spring they got into a dif ficulty, not far from the residence of Mr. Hale, when one of the Turners was knock ed down and left senseless, and when he came to himself he found his brother ly ing by his side, having been shot five times, and his clothes on fire.

Williams, brought to our city, for a brief vist, a most agreeable party of Columbus ladies, consisting of Airs. Peabody, son and daughter, Airs. Bussey and her daughter, Miss Brannon, and Airs. Williams and children, all of whom seemed to be grati fied at the evidences of prosperity which greeted them on every hand in our grow ing city. It was a most delightful party, and we trust that ourfriend Williams who was so ably assisted by Air. W. J. Chaffin, the popular bookseller, will again visit us in a like social and agreeable manner.

Can we expetcanything better from a military dynasty? A company of sixty-five Federal soldiers have been quartered in Montgomery for some purpose unknown to all save the powers that be. They come to try and intimidate people. Not long since, in a court, a negro was sworn in as a witness in a case, and he was bid “to take the stand.” He misun derstood the order to mean to “shake the Judge's hand.” He walked up the steps and, to the Judge’s chagrin, caught him by the hand, expressing his delight at meeting his Honor.

A Wholesome Stimulant, That is Ab solutely Pure. Physicians throughout the world agree as to the necessity for diffusive stimulants in medi cal practice, but complain, and with good rea son, ot the impossibility of obtaining them pure. The difficulty here presented would he a serious one indeed, if the class of agents was limited to the adulterated liquors and wines of trade. It vanishes, however, when the abso lute purity and extraordinary restorative prop erties of Hostetter's Bitters are taken into con sideration. Asa stimulant the article is abso lutely free from everything objectionable: but this is only one of its recommendations. If it were nothing more than an excitant its effects would be fleeting. It might refresh and revive the system for a few minutes, but could pro duce no permanent benefit. The stimulating elements of the Bitters is a means, not an end. The tonic, anti-bilious, depurative and aperient vegetable juices combined in the preparation are the agents that impart vigor and regularity to the weakened and disordered organization, the spirituous principle being chiefly useful in dilfusing their influence through the system and otherwise facilitating their operation. Al cohol, even in Us purest form, is not so much a medicine as a motive power, by which the spe cifics of the vegetable kingdom may be brought to bear upon the debilitated and disordered or gans that require renovating and regulating; and it is in this way that the pure essence of rye incorporated in Hostetter's Bitters increas es the efficiency of the purely medical ingredi ents. Unprecedented Success.— Within the past year 200,000 boxes of DR. TUTT’S VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS have been sold, and not a single instance is known where they have failed to give satisfac tion.

Tatt: It affords me much pleasure to testify to the geat value of your Liver Pills. They are all they are represented to be. In my opinion, there are no Pills so well adapted to Southern climate as they are. Yours truly, Jos. Bp.TOniEL, late of Richmond, Va. The Barbers Prefer Db. Tutt’s Haib Dye. Bronchitis. —This is an irritation or inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which cany the air we breathe into the lungs. It arises from a cold settled in the throat, from Catarrh extending to these parts, from scrofulous affections, and from se vere use of the voice. The irritation from this latter cause commences in tho larynx and glottis, which are the organs of the voice, and extending downwards, produces hoarseness, coughing and spit ting mucous matter, sometimes mixed with blood. It is chiefly dangerous from its tendency to spread into the lungs, and terminate in consumption. It is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases of this disease that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has achieved unparalleled suc cess and won the loudest praise from all who have used it. It is sold by all respec table druggists. The Cause of Temperance finds some of its most insidious and dangerous foes in the many so-called “tonics” and “ap petizers,” made of cheap whisky and re fuse liquors, finished up to suit depraved appetites, under tho name of medicines. Db. V/alkee’s Califcbnia Vinegarßitters are none of these. They are not a bever age, but a genuino medicine, purely veg etable, prepared from California herbs by a regular physician. For all diseases cf the stomach, liver kidneys, .bladder, skin and blood, they arc an infallible and un rivalled remedy. Talk at the Toilet.— Every lady’s maid knows that the bewitching beings who pave their triumphant way with con qured hearts, regard a splendid head of hair as the most effective of all womanly fascinations. They believe, and they are right, that they can lasso as many beaux with the luxuriant ringlets and glossy braids as they can “kill at sight” with their beaming eyes. Hence in their “toi let talk” among themselves and with their attendants, the merits of preparations for the hair are freeley canvassed, and the la test result of this discussion seems to be the almost universal adoption of Eton’s Kathaibon as an article better adapted to promote the growth and beauty of the “Chief Glory of Woman” than any other at present before the world. They say that without irritating the skin of the head it eradicates dandruff, and that it penetrates below the surface to the roots of the hair, endowing them with new life and vigor. Pimples on the Pace, Eruptions, Bloth- j es, Scrofulous diseases, and all sores ; arising from impure blood are cured by Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery.

The United States crop will 1 be under three million bales, including the oyer- i hind and Southern consumption. Notwith standing a comparatively small crop the cotton in sight is a good deal more than last year. This is dne to the rapid transit of Indias, they now coining through the Suez canal instead of bv the old long route. Later this element will j be comparatlv ely small and the American crop will be regarded with greater significance. I Tiie course of seasons will determine the ; question of prices. During this week badly needed showers have been reported through Georgia and Alabama and in many sections destructive storms. Nearly all the cotton is up, j and the stand generally is passable. Occasion ally we read of fields being ploughed up and the seed found rotten. Os this in this section 1 we hear little. There is. however, great scarc ity of seed: but replanting will not be necessary . in many instances. | Last year this county produced in round numbers 2,800 bales. The acreage planted is about the si me this season. Uplands through out the section are doing better than lowlands, i Com is doing well, and small grain erops are j reported excellent After this date last year Columbus received ; 1,880 bales. Wo will hardly get 700 more this year, making our total receipts, including out side factory purchases, 41,000 bales, against 75.000 hi 1871. Os the stock, all except three or lour hundred bales, are held by producers Our manuiaoturers have taken from the warehouses thus far 5,250 bales, and in addition purchased over SOO bales outside, making their total tak ings, including the probable future purchases, some 6,300 bales for the season.

SPEINGER, Wholesale Agent and Wholesale Grocer. m mEH S.timijuiim Vinegar Bitters arc not a vile Fancy Drink, made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please the taste, called “Tonics,’* “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” &c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease. No Person can take these Bitters accord ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Diz ziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the oflsprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guar antee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. For Female Complaints? in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that a marked improvement is soon percep tible. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheu matism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derange ment of the Digestive Organs. They are a Gentle Purgative ns well as a Tonic? possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam mation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and iu Bilious Diseases. For Skin Disease*, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt- Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car buncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, Ery sipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous of their ourative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated moon whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it i9 foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. Grateful thousands proclaim Vinegar Bit ters the most wonderful luvigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually de stroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiol ogist: There is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No system of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelinin itics, will free the system from worms like these Bit ters. Dlechanlcal Diseases. Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, will be subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters once or twice a week, as a Preventive. Bilious? Remittent? and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Ten nessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roan oke, James, and many others, with their vast tributa ries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. There are always more or less obstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat ment, a purgative, exening a poweiful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Scrofula, or K.ing’B Evil? White Swellings, Ulcers, Eiysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, Scrofulous 1 Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis -1 cases, Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and iutrac’-- able cases. Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar Bittern act on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying i the Blood they remove the cause, and byresolving away i the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits) the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure is effected. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Hitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic and Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irri tant. Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. The Aperient and mild Laxative properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are the best safe guard in all cases of eruptions and malignant fevers, their balsamic, healing, and soothing properties protect the humors of the sauces. Their Sedative properties allay pain in the nervous system, stomach, and bowels, either from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their Counter-Irritant influence extends throughout the system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kid neys, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. Their Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the secre tion of bile, and its discharges through the biliary ducts, and are superior to ail remedial agents, for the cure of Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, etc. Fortify Hie body against disease by puri fying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epi demic can take hold of a system thus forearmed. The liver, the stomach, the bowels, the kidneys, and the nerves are rendered disease-proof by this great invig orant.
