Kjj£' The Georgia Weekly Telegraph and __ . . *. •'-. a . , A Journal Telegraph and Messenger "TaCON MAECH 22, 1870. — Brjant’s Slander, i , _ vresee our ‘Washington correspondent re- ’ 1 pryant’a slander about the Telegraph 98 . nnder pay of Bullook. We have ex- beiog and Bowles’ puzzle over the Ais( d Bryants ^ 4quotation*ladeby Bullock and Forney /‘h e ir agent*, from the Telegraph.

Bullock. Jiot knowing that the quotation was bogus and fraudulent, no other line of defence proba- . occtlire d to Bowles and Bryant, and the ur- nt need of tome defence was apparent. It is ® won der th»*> knowing as Brgant did, the nt- ter falsity of the numerous telegrams ema- the slander mill of Bollock at At lanta te sion ^^ ^ ave preferred to rest a defence ^ groundless a slander, instead of assuming, w teir»s^ntitled to do, that the alleged quota- tioa ** s a ^ ase f raa d. If Bryant knew any- jjjisg about the editors of the Telegraph and jjjssxsoeb and the position of the paper, he B 2jt have known that it never held any such rations to Bullock—and if he knew nothing, ju had no right to mako such a charge. No jbjj can be co-operating with Gov. Bollock who tarors the Bingham amendment, for that is the destruction of his cherished schemes. The Telegraph never took pay from Bullock or any other human being, for its course upon a question affecting the rights and interests of fie people. We acqnit Bryant and Bowles of malicious design in publishing this slander. He truth is they were hard np. The bogus quotation from the Telegraph was a bombshell. It ns uo doubt raising a violent prejudice against the Bingham amendment among Sen ators. Nothing could have been better calcu lated to defeat it than snch ill-timed and un founded boasts of Democratic papers, that it was a virtual abandonment of reconstruction. Bullock and Forney were very cunning as well ns treacherous. It was supposed the vote in the Senate was coming off in a few’hours, and so the fraud did its work, discovery wonld come too late. It was a bold game as well as a bad one, and we are confident will react upon the unscrupulous rogues who played it. Radical Contempt lbr Law. The contest now going on in Richmond for fie possession of the municipal government of fiat city, is a striking illustration of Radical contempt for law and the. constituted authori ties, when submission to them means the loss of fit offices. Gaboon, the lato incumbent of the Mayor’s office, is a miserable, greedy carpet-bagger,who ms thrust into office by-Canby's bayonets when the State of Virginia was a military district. He has been feeding and fattening on the Rich mond tax payers for several years, and naturally objects to vacate bis snug berth and go to work for a living. Ellison is the lawfnl Mayor, elected by the City Council, and an honest man, en tirely acceptable to the people who support the city government What Canby has to do with the matter, we can’t see. It is a purely local question, and one that he has no more business with than with the uniform or dnties of the Bichmond police. We hope somebody at Washington will bring him up with a round tutu, and soundly rebuke his insolence. But, as we started out to say, the whole bus iness is an apt illustration of the contempt for law felt and shown by the Radical party, and especially the Southern wing of it. These crealnres have held our offices so long, that they begin to feel they have a prescriptive right to them. They have been so backed np and petted by Congress, that they consider themselves above and beyond anything like laws made by thoso whom they have been plun dering so many years. They don’t want to re cognize any authority but that of the bayonet, or its bastard creation, African and carpet-bag reconstruction. They flout overtiring else os “rebel" and “disloyal,” and when, by accident, the people get possession of any of the rights that have been stolen from them, and proceed to act nnder them, these gorged cormorants re fuse to submit, and raise a yell of persecution. We have very grave doubts whether Bullock »ad his crowd would retire from office if voted out by the people, without a row. Every man of them has had abundant opportunity of turn ing many honest pennies, but we should expect Item to make just as much fuss and howl as •°ud, as if they were starving. They have come to look upon Georgia and all she owns as their rightful spoil for all time to come. Nor is it surprising, either, that they should feel thus. It is a logical sequence of Radical kuehings and action ever since 18(51. Lincoln Udhis subordinates commenced the crusade *g*inst State and individual rights, and againRt ibe Constitution then, and it has been going on aver since. Each fresh violation of those rights established a precedent for, and made success ive ones easier, until now there i3 nothing a genuine Radical official balks at less than viola ting law, and snapping his fingers at all author ity that is not set np by the bayonet, or negroes, renegades, and carpet-baggers. This spirit is *een every day, and has almost ceased to ex cite comment. The Riohmond affair has noth ing extraordinary about it, except so far as it world ? famishes fresh evidence for a final reckon ing against that great criminal, Radicalism. We havo no donbt it will be duly recorded in fie popnlar heart, and some day, not very far off, be produced at the final assize that shall decree the guilt and death of the monster. TW day is coming, slowly it may be, bnt as certainly as death itself. It wonld be a crime 'gwnit nature and nature’s God, not to feel Ckvotbatso much wanton, causeless, unadul terated wickedness will not bo fearfully punish- Heaven speed the day! Memorial Volume of Hon, Howell Cobb. 'We have before us, under the above title, specimen^ those splendid books, which are credit to any publishing house. Typographi cally the volume is all that could bo desired in a book, with its elegant toned paper, handsome binding and exquisite printing. Bat we conld have expected no less of the distinguished firm of J. B. Lippincott & Oo., by whom the book has just been issued. It is a -volume of 300 pages, edited by Rev. S. Boykin, of Macon, Ga., an<j is composed of all those spontaneous tributes of honor and affec tion which, on his death, were lavished upon the memory and name of Howell Cobb, by bench, bar, pnlpit and press, of the entire State of Georgia. These all—and to them have'been added various tributes of the warmest personal regard and friendship—have been skillfully and tastefully linked together into a work, unique and most creditable to the editor. The whole composed of an elegant biographical sketch, the various speeches made in Athens and else where, tho several sermons preached at the funeral, the proceedings of the bar in various cities, tho report of the committee appointed by the Supreme Court to present resolutions, the response of Chief Justice Brown, the re port of the Trustees of the State University, written by General Toombs, and other letters and speeches—forms a most attractive and in teresting volume. We thank the editor whose “labor of love” has afforded us such a treat, and so honored one of Georgia’s noblest sons. He has done his work well—we hope he will be duly rewarded. Howell Cobb was one of the noblest and best sons onr grand old State ever produced, and he deserved this worthy tribute. His many friends all over the State will be glad to obtain a book containing so much pertaining to the worth, nobleness and true greatness of Howell Cobb—and all true. We earnestly ad vise onr readers to procure one. The above, extracted from an Atlanta con temporary, is published by ns as an evidence of the estimation in which the labors and editorial ability of our friend Mr. Boykin is held held by a brother editor; and we think it due to Mr. B. that he and all onr readers shonld know how his book and efforts to honor the memory of great Georgian are appreciated. In regard to tho book itself, we repeat that it is worthy a place on every centre table in the land, and wo hope, if all onr readers have not secured a copy, that they will do so at once, ns the work may be found in all our book stores. The steel portrait of Gen. Cabb, on page 53, is alone worth tho price of the book, which, we believe, is §3 for cloth binding and $4.50 for library style. Send by mail to Mr. B., at Ma con, if no book store is convenient, and onr word for it, you will not bo disappointed. better from Thomaston. Thomaston, Ga., March 18, 1870. Editors Telegraph and Messenger : As an oc casional correspondent for the Journal and Messenger, in the days of its separate existence will you allow me a brief space in your truly excellent paper—but excellent does not convey the idea, it is the paper of Georgia, and I be lieve this is the general opinion. Bnt to re turn. It is now confidently believed that the cars will soon be again ranning over the Upson county railroad, thanks to the untiring efforts of onr esteemed fellow citizen, Dr. F. When this object is accomplished, or in fact now, Up son county presents more attractions to the capitalist than any other section of the State with which I am acquainted. Fine farming lands, well adapted to the cnltnre of grain or cotton, good society, fine health, and the finest water power, and more of it, than can be easily found in the same scope anywhere else. Two miles from Thomaston Dr. Rogers has water enough ranning to waste, over one of the most splendid falls I ever saw, to ran thousands of spindles and looms. The Doctor once had fine mill in operation here, giving employ ment to quite a number of operatives, judging from the number of cottages that stand aronnd the site of tho old factory, but unfortunately for the Doctor, Wilson’s gallant raiders came this way. He is now advertising for associate capital to rebnild this factory. If the advan tages hero offered to capitalists were realized bin proposition would be accepted at once. There are three factories in operation in this county—two at Waymansville, ten miles from Thomaston, owned by Messrs. Swift, Hambur- ger A: Co., and the Flint River Manufacturing Company, composed of Rufns Swift & Co., are running successfully, a mill about tho same dis' tance from Thomaston. One of the two mills at Waymansville, was Wilsonized also, and upon the site of the old mill, has sprang np since the war, and but just completed, one of the finest mills it was ever my privilege to examine. Thoroughly supplied, and equipped with the best machinery, under the immediate supervision of Mr. Hamburger, it commences its corse of money making. The new factory at Waymansville is an enter prise of which not only the authors,* bnt onr county, shonld feel a pride. I have never seen factory, in any city, superior to this one, in anything but size. Will manufacturing in Up son county pay? Ask Mr. H., who, twenty years ago, came to this county, or an adjoining one, an entire stranger to all, speaking a strange language, and now be is largely interested in and controlling two factories in fall operation. To the enterprising capitalist Upson offers the strongest inducements. To the small plant er, good lands, and in quantities to suit. When tho cars come, and come they will, railroads cannot be eaten np by rnst in these go-ahead days. Thomaston offers every inducement io merchants and mechanics. Think of n town, without railroad, having been burned three times since the war, and three times re-built, and the character of the buildings each time improved 1 If there is sufficient trade, without railroad, to accomplish this, what may we not expect when once more connected with the Drake’s Proposition, quarter the United States troops in the hons- of the people of Georgia in order to compel latter to vote the Radical ticket, strange to ®*y» does not meet with that cordial response »hich might have been expected under the cir cumstances.

Yours, R. Mercer University. For several months the removal of this Insti tution to Macon has been agitated among onr citizens. A Cirong desire ( for its accomplish ment has been expressed by many. Some have thought the movement was unnecessarily de layed—that more enorgy and enterprise should be displayed by its friends—that action should at once be taken by the people of our city. Upon this subject a difference of opinion ex ists. Some who have given it much thought believe that the present is not the time for no tion. 1. The city and its business men are laboring more or less nnder the embarrassments of the finhneial crisis caused by the depression in the cotton market. 2. It is useless for»ny effort'to be made by us that does not embrace a liberal proposition to aid the University in the erection of build ings. . i. 3. It may be better to wait till the convention which meets the fourth’week in April, decides to remove the College, and the Trustees pub lish an invitation for propositions. Then we can ascertain more definitely what is best to be done. Onr citizens may feel releived from pecuni- ary embarrassments by the first of May. Let it not be understood for a moment that the enterprise is abandoned. Macon is too deeply interested. It is believed she under stands her own interests too well to permit to pass unimproved an opportunity to secure an Institution which will pay her citizens one hun dred thousand dollars annually. We may ex pect to be called together to consult upon this subject early in the month of May. W. Macon, March 10!A. The Murderer, Sickles, was confirmed by the Senate on Wednesday as Minister to Spain. To the honor of Messrs. Trumbull and Cameron it may be put down that they bitterly opposed the shameful act.

Bichmond, March 17.—A conflict of authority be tween the newly appointed city authorities and the old incumbents has arisen. Mayor Cahoon refuses to give up the office to Mayor Ellison, who was elected last night by the City Council. The former has sworn in one hundred and fifty special consta bles, including twenty colored men—and the latter has two hundred special officers. The old police force is divided equally betwoen the two Mayors. Ellison has possession of the City Hall and all other public buildings, except tho station house, which is held by the Cahoon party. Cahoon wrote to Governor Walker, stating his position, and asking assistance to maintain his au thority. Walker replied that Ellison was legally elected under an act of the Legislature, and that he cannot recognize any one else as Mayor; that Ca- lioon is incapable of holding office under the Vir ginia law, as he already holds a Federal office ; that no breach of peace can occur without Cahoon’s act or approval; that he should resort to a peaceful judicial remedy, if he wants to tost the question of right; and finally, he should obey the laws and sus tain the constitutional authorities. v" i > Gov. Wise, Judge B. W. Hughes, and L. T. Chan dler are counsel for Cahoon, who, with about thirty men, are in the lowor station hope be sieged by the Ellison party who have cut off the gas and water, and. forbid any provisions being sent them. A crowd of colored men brought out bake shop and commenced throwing bread np to the windows but were driven off by special police, at . dark. Mayor Ellison, Chief of Police Poe, and others were arrested by the United States Marshal for having refused a revenue officer per mission to see Cahoon in his capacity as United States Commissioner. They were bailed until to morrow. Aoompany of troop* have been brought into the city by order of Corley. It is stated that Judge Underwood will arrive to morrow, and isaue an injunction prohibiting Ellison from exercising the duties of office. Great excite ment here all day and but little business done in the city. Richmond, March IS.—This afternoon General Canby interferred in tbe municipal troubles, by sending a guard of soldiers and raising the siege at the lower station house, and giving free egress and ingress to all having business there. This action, he says has no reference to the question of the Mayoralty, bnt is taken purely as a precaution against any acts of disorder or violence. Thia action is applauded by the friends of Cahoon, and was protested against by Ellison as an unwar rantable interference with the civil law of the State. When the military took possession of the station house Mayor Ellison’s police left, and being rocked by the crowd of colored men, charged them. About fifty shots were fired, and two or three negroes were wounded. Affairs have since quieted down. To-morrow both Mayors will have a police force on the streets, and hold independent courts. Trouble is apprehended. The Council is in session to-night considering what shall be done. Later.—Tho City Council, to-night, passed an ordinance abolishing the station houses now in the hands of Cahoon’s police, authorizing Mayor Elli son to call out the fire brigade as police, and pledg ing the city to pay all special police sworn in by El lison, and authorizing court to be held in the City Hail, and pledging Mayor Ellison the earnest sup port of the Council in his efforts to maintain the peace of the city against the lawless men conspiring against iL. , The city is quiet this evening. Tlio casualties of the day have been ono man killed and three wounded. Cahoon has his headquarters at the lower station house, where the military guard is. Ellison’s head quarters are at the City Hall. Ellison’s police patrol the city to-night. Richmond, March 19.’—The Ellison police arrested and disarmed a part of the oppositi police; the balance took refnge in a station house. At noon tho second station house surrendered to Ellison. The new officials have notice of a motion on Wednesday before Judge Underwood, of the U. S. District Court, for ah injunction. Both Mayors held court this morning, and no disturbance occur red to-day. About thirty of Cahoon’s adherents are shut up in station houses. The Ellison force, about two hundred and fifty, have possession of the city. Ellison’s force numbers two hundred, with a re serve of one hundred. Two public meetings were held to-night, and resolved to volunteer to support Ellison. The city is quiet, except around the Third Station House, which Cahoon holds, with some forty white and black advocates. FROM TENNESSEE. Nashville, March 19.—A meeting of the people of all parties to-day passed resolutions protesting against Congressional interference, denouncing ex aggeration and misrepresentation regarding the in ternal affairs of this State, and pledging the people to maintain tho laws of the State and national laws at all hazards, and declaring soldiers to sustain the civil authorities to be unwelcomed.

Work to commence within a year. Love at First Sight—A Shoemaker’s Daughter Captivates a Foreign Offi cial. Pierre Bonaparte has become famous forma rying a saddler’s daughter and shooting an of fensive editor. The first act was regarded as a noble piece of heroism on his part. A certain yonng foreign gentleman residing in Washing ton, has furnished almost a parallel to Pierre Bonaparte’s honorable conduct to a shoemaker's daughter.., The story is this, according to the Washington correspondence of the New York Herald: The young gentleman was walking down Pennsylvania avenue about three or tonr weeks ago, enjoying a pleasant promenade along onr Washington Broadway, when his attention was suddenly attracted by a very pretty girl stand ing in the doorway of a shoe store. Ottr hero was fascinated instantaneously. It was literally love at first sight. On tho pretence of making some purchases in the leather Une, he entered the store, engaged in conversation with the maiden, and discovered that she was the daugh ter of the proprietor, Our hero found excuses for making many subsequent visits to the store, and finally the parents of the girl, noticing this marked attention to their daughter, and think ing tho disparity in rank was too great to admit of proper addresses, politely informed him that they wonld prefer him to discontinue his visits. The young gentleman, with an unexpected manliness and evident sincerity, told the pa rents that his intentions were honorable to the last degree; that he loved the daughter devo tedly, and that though their respective stations differed widely, an arrangement could be made which, he hoped, wonld prove satisfactory to both sides. He told the father that his child was yet young enough to be thoroughly edu cated and fitted for any station in life, and that if he would consent, he, the yonng gentleman, would have the girl sent to cue of the best acad emies in the country, there to be instructed in all the accomplishments and acquirements de sirable. The young gentleman also offered to give a solemn pledge that he would never visit the young lady at the academy, and that at the end of the educational course, if she still enter tained an affection for him, he wonld lay at her feet his hand and heart. I am informed that his generous proposal has been accepted, and that the young lady is now at a female academy in a neighboring city. The whole thing is looked npon here as highly creditable to all the parties concerned. The young man occupies a very high official position. The Game or Lift. Out of so dry a thing as the official statement from the Burean of Statistics of the imports into the United States, for 1869, it is possible to extract some suggestive incidents of that tangled web we call life. Here, in the grim, lifeless figures that spread before us in almost endless profusion, are the records of our health and our sickness, our meat and drink, our faults and our vices, our pleasures and our toils. To take them as they come, we first touch the article of amusements, and find that the duties last year on imported playing cards were $5,162.30, and those on chalk for billiard ones $309.50, a fearful exhibit of masculine vice, no doubt, some fair one will think, but let her wait Her little eccentricities have a plaoe in the pic ture. Beauty calls for $99,216.50 for beads, $71,820.25 for her fancy fans, and $396,387 for tho dressed feathers which decorate the lit tle olam shells that the girl of the period puts upon her comely head under the name .of bonnet Turning to the matter of drags the physician will find an awful significance in a duty of $2,- 333.75 on ergot; of $227,49L88 for opium simple; and $158,718.75 on opium prepared for smoking. Calomel, on the contrary, with which the Faculty are said to dose ns, only calls for $1,354.60 and ipecao, $5,635.50. Coming to what we eat and drink, coffee pays a duty of $11,540,718.83; rice—thanks to the sublime polioy of reconstruction which takes Caff oat of the field and sets him to making laws and constitutions—is imported in such vast quantities that the duty aggregates $895,610. 63. Tea calls for $9,785,438.88; molasses for $4,168,900.16, and sugar for $30,645,235.39, in which two latter itetoa we see onoe more the fine effects of taking the negro oat of the cane field and putting him to legislating like a learn ed crow. Men’s vices do not make so great a show the constant harping on that theme wonld'lead one to suppose, and it is with pleasure we men tion the circumstance, inasmuch as it is a pet belief that the great mass of mankind are much better than we take them to be. Fusil-oil, the gentleman who lately made such a sensation throughout the country, only calls for a duty of $10,310, which is a little remarkable consider ing the wonderful tales that have been spread abroad respecting his universal use and pres ence. Forsegars there is paid a duty of $1,- 237,556.97; for meershanm pipes, $153,885.15, and for the dandy’s walking stick, $13,085.80. This is not so very bad a record for the frivoli ties of man, bnt, says one, how abont liquid ? We are coming to that. On the brandy and the wine imported into the United States daring the year 1869, the duty was $5,111,832.80. This is terrible, of course, but it is also terrible to know that in the article of silk* dresses alone, lovely woman calls fora duty of $5,951,983.60; which rather “sees” men’s toddies and goes $800,000 better. Lovely woman’s laces, also, cost $969,- 537.65 ; her velvets, $624,212.31, and her dain ty ribbons, $2,249,799.58. Add to this the small miscellaneous item of $2,221,310.50 for silk mixed goods, and the feminine exhibit rather overtops the male item of $6,771.60 on silk vestings. Human hair for chignons pays 1 duty of $128,680.20, and cordials, liquors, eta $ 104,438.12. Railroad iron pays $3,513,658.49 dnty, and woolen, dress goods $12,061,295.49.

Senator Edmunds, in his speech in the Sen ate on the Georgia bill last Tuesday, handled the Georgia Agenoy without gloves, and declared it, what no donbt it is, “an illegal body.” A dispatch to the World says; But when Mr. Edmunds tobo in his quiet way to answer Mr. Stewart, tnere was much more of expectation; nor were the audience disappoint ed. The Senator very keenly criticised Mr. Stewart’s inconsistency in proposing to relieve the Southerners, by a general amnesty, of their disabilities, while at the same time he proposed, by prolonging the term of the Legislature, to deprive them of any power in the government. Mr. Edmunds said if this was the polioy it ght to be established in all the States North d South having Republican Legislatures, and should be declared that their terms should be extended for two years. The present Legisla ture of Georgia Mr. Edmunds denounced aa an illegal body, and he made the very important statement that the Judiciary Committee were unanimously of opinionthat, if they attempted to perpetuate themselves in office as was proposed, Congress would have the power and ought to ex ercise it—to guarantee a Republican form of Government to the people of Georgia. Such an expose and snob a stand from a Senator hitherto so extreme as Mr. Edmunds was an unusual event, and the effect was telling. Numbering the Hates op the Head.—It id a vain task, one might suppose, to set to work to number the hairs of the head. “As the hairs of the head, or the sands of the sea,” is a favorite Oriental metaphor to express an innumerable host. Yet there are those who have attempted this incredible labor. Nor is it a very great task to make some approximation. Thus, we know there are 120 square inches oovered with hair, *>n a head of average size. Take a single square inch, where the hairs seem of an aver age thickness, and count how many there are. It can be done in a short time. The result will be, in a healthy scalp, from 800 to 1,200, say in round number, 1,000. Multiply this by 120, and we have 120,000 as the average number of hairs on the head. Tins astronomers are fast now turning their glasses in the direction of the sun, that lu minary having lately broken out in a perfect rush of spots, some of them of enormous size. No less than eight groups of spots are visible and the largest single spot covers a superficial area of not less than one thousand four hun dred and fifty-eight millions of square miles, or seven times the superfices of the terraque ous globe. Bingham Amendment in the Senate.—A speoial to the New York Commercial Advertiser, dated WashiDgton, the 15th, says : The friends of Governor Bullock, who say they have canvassed the Senate, express them selves confident that that body will disagree on the Bingham amendment to the Georgia bill. DIED. * In Louisville, Kentucky on the night of the 8th inst., Mrs. Sabah Hushes, only sister of Mrs. Charles Collins, of this city. IN SIEMORIAM. This world has been aptly styled “the vale of tears.” And never do we feel the fnil force and truth of this appellation until we stand on the brink of the grave, and see all that is mortal of the loved and lost, committed to the “noisome tomb.” It is hard indeed, to see the old and decrepid pass away, but then we are solaced by the reflection, that the fully ripened frui 1 must fall; but when the young and hopeful and loved are struck down in all their usefulness and prime, then it is that w6 feel that life is the saddest of tragedies and we but the solemn actors therein. Those reflections are suggested by the death of lira. Victobia A. Faulk, wife of John Faulk, Esq., of this city, which occurred on the morning of the 4th inst. Sad, sad indeed was it to behold this young loved and almost worshiped wife and mother pass the portals of the Tomb. In the S3dyear other age, when her form had been much wasted by long and patient vigils around the sick bed of three of her children, and just as they had ceased to need her watchful care, she was stricken by the fatal mallady that ended her days—a sacrifice to mater nal solicitude and love. Marrying in early life, her strong common sense and cultivated intellect soon endeared her to her devoted husband, and installed her as his best and safest counselor and friend in all the affairs of life. And never was a mother more devoted and faithful to the young and confiding minds and hoarts that had been committed to.her trust and care. Naturally warm-hearted and for giving in her temperament, she had tested in her life the strength and beauty of the golden rule— “do unto others as you would have them do'unto you.” And as if to crown and embelish this charm ing character, her warm-hearted natural charity had been refined and purified by grace Divine. The writer of this notice cannot say when* she became the subject of renewing: grace, but does know that she had been a devoted Christian for years now gone. And so ardent and zealous was her piety, that although she bad been connected with the First Baptist Church of tins city for scarce a year, yet she had attained the prominence with her beloved pas tor and congregation, as one of the leading mem bers of this large and flouriBliingchurch. Andchaer- ing it was amid the darkness and distress of dissolv ing nature to bear her say to her agonized and heart-broken companion: “I shall soon be asleep upon the rock of ages.” Yes, yes her faith was securely anchored, well within the vale, and the storms of. death itself ‘could not prevail against it.” She knew and felt in life and death ‘“There is a life abOTO And all that life is lore.” - Then husband, children, friends, weep not the wife and mother gone. She has but preceded you to that land of love, and if you but follow in her faithful and loving foot-prlnta, soon the attritions of time will reunite yon in that Messed realm where weeping and parting are no mors.

F OB EIGHT YEARS I have made the treatment of Consumption (Lung and Bronchial) a spec ialty, and believe tout I can arrest any ease of this formidable disease (however far. it may have ad vanced) in from six to twelve weeks. I do not Pro pose to supply new Lungs. nor any large amount of new Lung Tissue, to a patient; but I do pfopose to prevent farther progress of the disease, to leave the system in that improved condition that robust health may be speedily re-established. The first case of Consumption which it was my good fortune to suo- oossfully treat was of a young lady in 1861. In the years 1862 and 18631 had charge of Hospitals Nos. 2, 3, add 15, Nashville. Tenn., and of the many cases whioh came under my treatment there not one re sulted fatally. Iu 1864 I was Mayor and Health Offi cer of the city of Natchez, Miss., also Surgeon of the 23th Illinois Infantry, and in prescribing for this disease good health succeeded in every instance. In 18651 removed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to superin tend the General United States Hospital, and of the twenty or more cases whioh I there administered to, I was entirely successful. Tbe same results have at • tended my practice during subsequent yean, and I candidly believe that no case exists (however formid able) that my treatment will not speedily eradicate. I refer to the above that to those whom this may come that they may not set me down as a quack, for certainly a quack could never attain to lush respon sibilities. REFERENCES* *, Mai. Gen. Chas. S.
