Tak por Horse Disease.- —There has
been no case of the epizootiz in Colum
bus, nor do we believe thero has been one
in Georgia. If there was, tho animals re
covered very quickly. It is, however,
better to be on the safe side. We read
that in the Norrhern cities gas tar made
from wood, scattered around the stables
has been found an admirable disinfectant.
It is worth a trial. We are authorized to
state that parties can obtain a fair quail- I
tily of this tar free of cost at the gas '

avail themselves of the opportunity.

The Census. —Gen. Francis A. Walker,
superintendent of the ninth census, in his
report to the Secretary of tho Interior, re
commends the taking an intermediate cen
sus in 187. r >, in preparation for the ap
proaching centennial celebration of the
political birth of tho nation. He believes
also that this experiment would secure the
taking of the Federal census thereafter
at regular intervals of five years instead
of ten. The lattor interval, he is of opin
ion. is far too long in this rapidly grow
ing country for all tho uses to which sta
tist ienl census are put by the legislator,
the journalist, and the social and political
philosopher. Much improvement has
been made in the manner of arranging
and illustrating the details of the ninth
census, but tho superintendent regards
the existing census laws as entirely too
clumsey for continued use, anil recom
mends such action as will meet the case
in view of its necessities and the advanced
state of statistical science.

A Sam Scene in a Theatre. Last even
ing. while the audience was deeply inter
ested in the play at the theatre, a young
child was observed walking down the aisle
with quick and anxious step. Her face
and eyes betokened weeping, and even
yet the un wiped tears were trickling down
her pale cheeks. The little one, after
glancing hurriedly and anxiously down
the aisle, darted forward toward a young
woman sitting near the stage, and bend
ing over behind her, faltered out between
her sobs, "Oh dear! oh dear! Father’s —
dead!"
The young woman, startled by the sud
den intelligence, exclaimed: “Oh, uiv
God—my poor father!" and hastily arose
and with the mournful and mourning
in ",".mger, left the gay place of pleasure
for the darkened chamber of death, l'he
scone was noticed by a number, and for a
little time afterwards there was not a mur
mur of applause or a sign of a smile on
the audience. As the play progressed the
depression passed away, anil soon the sad
cue of real life was forgotten in the
painted representation with the feigning
characters on the stage.— Troy (ft. Y.)

Important Case Before the Supreme
Court.— A Washington dispatch to the
Louisville Courier-Journal says:
“Although the United States Supreme
Court has met without any tiourish of
trumpets, it is known that its docket is
rich in cases of importance and interest
to the public as well as the legal profes
sion. The first in order of the eases held
under advisement is that of Thomas Jef
ferson Green, of South Carolina, petition
er, involving the constitutionality of the
celebrated Ku-klux law of Congress.—
This case has been argued by Hon. Rev
erdy Johnson for the petitioner, and the
date of the decision is uncertain. It. is
not likely that Judgment will be pro
nounced before the December term.

WASHINGTON.
, Washington, Nov. 17. The mixed
i Commission on British and American
; claims have made an award of $2,490 in
j gold, in the case of Francis Impey vs. the
; United States.
’ It appears that the claimant always has
been a subject of Her Britanic Majesty;
&&t in theiate war he adhered to the Feder
: al Government, or at least remained neutral;
' that in November, 1802, he was arrested
! arbitrarily and without good cause, and
; arrested by officers and soldiers of the
United States army, and imprisoned in
several places successively, being com
pelled a portion of the time to chop wood
and make fire for the soldiers : then was
removed to St. Joseph, Mo., and impris
oned in the connty Jaii for abont thirty
days, three weeks in the common cells
and afterwards in the Sheriff's apartment,
and a portion of that time was required to
work on fortifications: during his im
prisonment his wife and children were
uncared for and exposed to the dangers
incident to the exposed condition of the
country ; his practice as a physician in
terrupted and impaired his health, in
jured by confinement and the filthy con
dition of the cells.
The Commission awarded st>43 in the
case of James Marchet against the United
States. He claimed $2,000 —value of
garden vegetables, bay, etc., aud one
horse, taken for the use of the army of
the United States.
The Commission allowed $775 in
the case of James Statt against the
United States, this was a claim based
upon the arrest of the claimant by United
States authorities on the grounds of the
charge of desertion from the Ist Rhode
Island Cavalry. There was a good deal
of diplomatic correspondence on the sub
ject of Statt’s arrest, but the only compen
sation received by him was $27, this sum
being the pay of a soldier for the period
of his imprisonment. There is no doubt
the claimant was a British subject and the
wrongful arrest is acknowledged by the
United States Government, through the
action of the War Department aud De
partment of State. The Commission also
allowed the claim of Robert Davidson,
who was a carpenter and builder, and sold
the wood work for a battery to a Mr.
Leods. It was not proved whether or not
the battery was completed for use, or if
so, whether it actually went into the Con
federate service.
The U. S. officers took possession of the
same and gave receipts for same, as in all
other cases of the appropriation of private
property to the use of the United States.
The Commission disallowed the follow
ing cases; Jas. B. Heyeoek, Frederick W.
Ruggles, Sam. M. Ryersou, et al., owners
of the brig Napier and carge. All these
were ship cases. The ground for disal
lowing them was on account of failure to
appeal from the Court below to the Su
preme Court of the United States.

who now lies in Durham jail, awaiting her
trial on the charge of willful murder ot

Worfl to a Shadow,
Flesh, muscle and mind alike deterloate

Stubenville, Ohio, Sept 4, 1871.
Dr. F»». H. Tutt:
Dear Sir—l feel it a duty to you and to
suffering humanity to make public the
great merits of your Extract Sarsaparilla
: and Queen’s Delight. For years I have been
a great sufferer, my general health broke
i down, and I was affected with nervous
i ness of the most terrible character, which
■ was soon followed by an eruption all
! over the body, forming large ulcers in
some places, and attended with rheumatic
! pains. Tongue cannot describe my suf
fering. I was reduced almost to a skele
j ton, rnd had a perfect loathing of food.
| I was attended by several physicians, who
rendered me no relief. I despaired of
! ever being well again, but thanks to a
kind Providence I accidently heard of
your medicine. I sent for half a dozen
bottles, aud before I had taken three, I
began to feelbetter,my appetite improved, j
ana the rheumatic pains beoame less se
vere, and I could enjoy sleep. I have ;
continued its use and have taken eleven
bottles, and I believe I am a sound man
again. The ulcers have all healed, my
skin is smooth and healthy, and I have
gained 22 pounds in weight. I believe
my sickness resulted from a taint of |
scrofula. I would earnestly recommend i
your compound to my follow sufferers.
With deep gratitude to you,
I am ever your friend,
Jas. Fbanklin.

THIS WEEK’S STATEMENT.
Columbus, Qa., November 15, 1872.

1% per oent. per month.
The Cotton Situation.— Boston has had
a terrible Are and England has advanced her
rate of Interest. Several of the best authorities
have published statements showing that the
present year’s receipts will reach 3,610,000
bales; yet cotton has somewhat advanced on
the week. There are many curious turns hi
business. The receipts at the ports for the
! week are considerably less than during the pre
j ceding seven days, and to this chiefly may be
attributed the upward movement. Prices in
their vacillations arepursutng a course thus far
somewhat similar to that of last year.
The reeeipts at the United States ports are
now 123,182 bales greater than the same time in
1871.
The report of the New Orloans Exchange to
Nov. oth shows that 77 per cent, ot Louisiana
cotton has been picked; sci of Texas; 67 Missis
sippi; 760f Alabama; 70 of Georgia; 67 of South
Carolina and North Carolina; 85 of Florida;
50 of Arkansas, and 56 of Tennessee. Compar
ed with 1871, Louisiana shows in estimated to
tal yield an increase of 22 per c. nt.; Texas, 19;
Mississippi aud Alabama, 3; Georgia, 20; South
Carolina, 30; North Carolina, 18; Arkansas, a
decrease ol 20 per cent.; Florida, 28; Tennessee
2 ncr com. This New Orleans report is gener
ally regarded as among the very beet authori
ties.
In the Columbus market busiuess has been
i very dull until the last three days, when the
sales have been unusually large. As has been
the case for some weeks, the great bulk has
; been purohased for Eastern spinners Accord
ing to these reported sales there must be some
1 1,600 to 2,000 bales of our stock being made
ready lor shipment and withdrawn from the
boards. A comparison of large lots with those
of the corresponding period of 1871, shows that
the ootton bales ot this year weigh four per
oent less than those of last year. The fall has
been remarkably dry and larorab.e to gather
ing the staple, and to this fact is attributable
the comparative lightness of the bales. It this
decrease were to prevail throughout the cotton
belt it would make an immense difference in
the amount of the staple marketed.
The statisticians have moved up their crop
figures, aud 3,600,000 bales are now favorite
numbers. If the crop be that large it is useless
almost to hope for very high ['rices. Farmers
make money at the present quotations, but the
sulcldaljno oorn policy has nearly ruined them,
and this" year’s resources must go to meet past
indebtedness which they will not oover.
It is now pretty evident that Columbus, un
less her ootton is diverted elsewhere, and of this
there is no probability, will warehouse fifty
per oent more bales than last season—thus re
ceiving somewhere in the neighborhood of 65,-
000 bales. Such Is the pro-pect at present.
The crop in this seotion is lar better than the
average. From the comparative smallness of
the stock it is evident that planters are selling
as they bring the staple to market. The crops
are well nigh gathered and ginning ie progress
ing rapidly. ,
Over thirty-five gm houses have been report
ed burned in Georgia and Alabama since the
season opened, the largo majority ol them in
Georgia.

Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink,
made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse
Liquors, doctored, spiced, and swet .ened to please the
taste, called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,”
&.C., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness aud 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.
J|o Person can take these Bitten* 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 liulig< Btlon. 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 offsprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaint a
it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guar
antee of its merits than a lengihy advertisement.
For Female Complaints, m 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 nercep
tiblc.
For Inflammatory nn«l Chronic ltlieii
matiMin 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
nient of the L)igestive Organs.
They are a Oent I© Pnrftrative »n well an
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 in Bilious
Dise;; es.

Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car

such cases will convince the most incredulous of their
curative effects.
Cleanse the 'VHlaferl Blood whenever you
find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples,
Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when yon find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood

Grateful thousand* proclaim V'inrgak Bit
ters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system.
Pin, Tape, and other Worm*, lurking in
the system of so many thousands, are effectually de
stroyed and removed. Snvs 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 liealthu elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon thv diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease.
No system of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmin
itics, will free the system front worms like these Bit
ters.

Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Tyj.e-setters.
Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance m life, will

great rivers throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Ten

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 <>f the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. There are always more or less
obstructions of llie liver, a weakness and irritable state
of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being
clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat
inent, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Wai.kbk’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 Kiug’s Evil, White Swellings.
Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, G'.iier, Scrofulous
I nfl.immations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af
fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of t lie Skin, Sore Eyes,
etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walker's Vinegar Bittbrs have shown their
great curative powers in the most obstinate and intract
able cases.
Dr. Walker’s Californio Vineqnr lllticrs
act on all these cases in a similar manner, fiy purifying
the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away
the ejects of the inflammation (die tubercular deposit'd
the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure
is effected.
The properties of Ds. Walker’s V l negar
Hitters are Aperient. Diaphoretic and Carminative,
Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic. Sedative, Counter-Irri
tant, Sudorific, Alterative, ad Anti-13ilious.
Tho Aperient and mild Laxative properties of
Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are the best safe
guard in ail cases of eruptions and malignant fevers,
their balsamic, healing, and soothing properties protect
the humors of the sauces. Their Sedative properties
ailay 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. 'I heir
Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the secre
tion of bile, and its discharges through the biliary ducts,
and are superior to all remedial agents, lor the cure of
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, etc.
Fortify the 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.
