The names of the purchasing parties wero ascer tained, and they cheerfully gave them up and had their money returned, with one exception, which was, that three of tho chickens had been ate for breakfast. So the Doctor recovered eleven of the fourteen stolen. An Overland Trip from Macon to Clbve- lakb, Tinn. From Capt. Cowles, a member of the party of railroad gontlemen who left this city on the 13th nib, to go over the proposed line of the Ocmnlgee and North Georgia Rail road, as recently surveyed, we get a few inter esting dots in regard to the cborography of the country, its scenery, mineral wealth, crops, etc. The first night ont was spent in Clinton, nnder theroof of that hospitable gentleman, Mr. Kingsman. From there tho party passed over a fine ridge to Monticello, and thenco to Cov ington—the crops along the route looking well. The party spent the third night at the Coving ton Hotel, and are stroDg in praise of the ex cellent accommodations extended. From Cov ington, they passed over a ridge route, inter- sported at times with beanlifni natural scenery, to Lswreneevilie. Along the' route crops were looking well and the farmers were bard at work. From Lawreneeville to the Air Line Railroad was the next move; and here, in the distance, the party got its first view of the Blue Ridge. From this point to Dawsonville, Dawson connty, the lice of the Ocmnlgeo and North Georgia Railroad begins to run through tho mountains, and the scenery to assume grand, beautiful and impressive character. At Dawsonville one can see the AmarcoUa Falls, at a distance of 15 miles, and the rainbows formed by tho spray present an exquisitely beautiful scene. From Dawsonville to EUijay, Gilmer connty, was the next move-, and between theso two points oar informant represents the natural scenery as indescribably grand. The road passes within ana mile of the Armacolla Falls, and as they are’ approached, the tourist is enchanted by their marie and magnificence. The water leaps in sparkling beauty from the crest of a preci- pies 600 feet high and fifty wide, forming the loveliest, yet most sublime cascade on the con tinent. Tho valley lauds are very rich and_ worth $-'.0 per acre. Here minerals of all kinds abound, not even excepting the diamond —one of wLich our informant saw, in a rough state, and worth abont §200. The oorn in this valley ia magnificent. All through the Anna- eoUa Gap the scenery is surpassingly grand and beautiful, and sparkling cascades give it life on every mountain side. Ellijay is the oonnty-site of Gilmer county, and will be a thriving town when the Dalton and Ellijay Railroad, running through to Murphy, N. C., and the Marietta Railroad, are finished. Tho valley of the Elli jay river ia beantifal. It is about twenty miles loDg and one in widih. From Ellijay the parly proceeded along the line of the road on which they left Macon, to Ducktown, a distance of thirty miles. The road winds along the sides of tho mountains, and on either hand tho scenery continues grand. In these mountains are imbedded all kinds of minerals, and various kinds of marblo and slate. The view, as one arrives at the summit of tho ridge near Duck- town, is grand in the extreme. It appears like some mighty basin formed by the mountains, and in it are extensive smelting works that are doing a heavy business. From Ducktown the party proceeded to Cleveland, Tenn. Along this route the naiaral scenery surpasses in wild ness, grandeur and sublimity all that we have yet alluded to. The lino of tho road lies through what is known as the “Tecowah Pass,” taking its name from the river by that name which runs through the mountain gorge at that point. The copper company have graded a road on the margin of .the Tecowah river for twenty miles, and it is cut through solid rock in many places. There are many wonderful natural cariosities to bo found in Ibis Pass. Among others, that of the "Weeping Rock,” taking its name from the fact that drops of water are ever trickling down through the pores of the rock. The “Hanging Rock” is another wonnderfnl object of interest to the traveler, as are also the innumerable mono tain cascades, the magnificent forest trees, etc. The Tecowah River through this Pass pos sesses immense water power. It falls for 20 miles, ranging from one to twenty feet per mile, and is abont 300 feet wido. The Pass is walled in by immense mountains, and is heavily tim- berod. It is well worth a long journey to Beo the Tecowah Paas, and inhale its pure, cool and invigorating atmosphere. Tho “Half Way House," between Ducktown and Cleveland, is well kept, and along the ronto the crops just now are looking splendidly—particularly the oorn. Hero aro numerous fine farm buildings, splendid horses, mnles, cattle and sheep. The people aro intelligent, tbiifty and hardy, and as hospitable as any in the world. Thoy have re cently turned their attention to the raising of clover and timothy, and Captain Cowles says he saw clover there full three feet high, and very thick over a 100 acre field. Everybody was bard at work, and tho people seemed to bo hopeful of tho future and thriving. Cleveland is a bean- tifal town on tho East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad. Tho honsc-s are bnilt mostly of brick, and tho streets are wide and clean; and business brisk. In conclusion, onr informant says tho peoplo along the wholo route were orderly and polite, kindly famishing guides, and were willing and anxions to make tho trip of the party pleasant and enjoyable. Tho party returned by railroad to this city on the 28th nit, having made the round trip in 18 days. BY TELEGRAPH. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Dully Review of the Market. OFFICE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER,!

Besides which a large amount of routine business, which had accnmnlated heavily eince the lost session, was disposed of. Tho Pleasanton-Bontwell ombroglio was the topic of consideration, bnt the discussions were not characterized by any difference of the point of adjusting tho difficulties by supporting the Secretary of the Treasury. It may, therefore, be considered certain that Pleasanton will bo removed, and Douglass will succeed him.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. Synopsis of Weather Statement. War Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer,^ Washington, D. C., August 1, 7:40 p. m. ) The barometer has varied but little at the Pacific and Rocky Mountain stations since Monday afternoon. It remains low from Lake Huron to Mississippi and westward. Rainy or threatening weather has prevailed to-day on the coast of Texas, as well as from Missouri to Wis consin. The barometer bas risen from Penn sylvania northward and eastward. The tem perature has risen slightly in the interior, bnt elsewhere has not materially changed except at a few isolated points. Clondy and threatening weather is reported this afternoon from Key West, and from North Carolina to New Jersey, as also in Northern Ohio. Rain has been re ported since Monday from Virginia to Massa chusetts and local rains from Michigan to Min nesota. Probabilities: The low barometer will proba bly continue in Iowa on Wednesday, and local storms are probable for to-day from Missouri nortwhards. Similar storms of larger dimen sions are probably now extending from Vir ginia and Ofto northeastward. No important general change in the weather is indicated fur Wednesday. Washington, Augnst 1.—The Patriot pub lishes an authorized reportof the evidence taken by the sub-Ku-klnx Committee, furnished by Hon. P. YanTrump. The statement published in the Star is pronounced untrue in many es sential particulars, and facts perverted in oth ers, with the view of producing a false and par tisan impression. The testimony Bhows that there are four counties, viz : Laurens, Chester, York and Spartanburg, where acts of violence have been committed on both sides. The whites and blacks are nearly equally divided in population, and the carpet-bag rale, by which the negro is forcibly pnt over the white man, has produced a bad and even a dangerons state of feeling. The poor whites are mostly aggrieved by an oppression which i9 intended to make them the inferior of the recent slaves, steeped in ignorance and vice. Everything has been done to aggravate the laboring whites, and to outrage tho social condition of their families. It is in proof that tho negroes, disguised as Ku- klux, committed many outrages. The testimo ny given by tho negroes was of tha lowest kind, and utterly unworthy of belief. Many were attracted by the per diem of $2 per day. The statement concludes as follows: There is no political feeling of any kind in the nnfortnnato disturbances which havo occur red in these few counties of Sonth Carolina. They result from maladministration, corrup tion, robbery, carpetbagism, and especially among the poor laboring white men from a wicked purpose on the part of _ tho authorities and Legislature to assist black ‘supremacy and degrade them with negro rale. That is with them, perhaps, the real and most serious difficulty. It is a question of race which, as Sonth Carolina Is now administered and sustained by Federal power, threatens the grara|^^onseqnences. The white mechanic when ho finds the worst crime pro- tectWWS pardoned, the law an engine of per secution, and political power abnsed in order to oppress him with negro domination and to out rage his wife and children, will resist, be the sacrifice what it may. Ho may bo uneducated and plain, but he is slill American, and proud of his race. Bublington, August 1.—Tho corporation of -the Vermont University voted to admit women. Sidney, New South Wales, July 1.—The steamship Adelaide, the first of the mail ships, left with a full freight, including wood for Cali fornia. A rich tin mino has been discovered. Three of tho crew of the ship Storm Bird were killed by the natives of New Hibridies. Several earthquakes have occurred within the past month. There have been heavy shipments of coal for California.

Billiocssessand Indigestion.—These two com plaints aro more general at this season of the year than at almost any other. Thoy aro closely akin; for biliousness always involves an impaired diges tion, and indigestion ia necessarily an accompani ment of a disordered or torpid liver. Happy the man or woman who can boast of a stomach that has never felt the horrors of dyspepsia, and to whom that great secretive agent, the liver, has novor given pain or trouble. Not one in a thousand can lay claim to entire immunity from irregularity in these organs. How. then, shall they bo regu lated? Not by powerful catharthica, alternated with ordinary stimulants, bnt by a medicinal invig- orant. like Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters, which com bine, in due proportion, the tonic and the alterative principle. Wherever there is a church, a school- house, and a genoral store, this famous medicino may bo procured No village merchant finds it prudent to he without it, for it is inquired for every day by every class. Tho workiDgman buys it be cause it increases his capacity for toil, and ia fol lowed by no reaction. The effect of the salubri ous roots, herbs, etc, of which it is composed, dif fused through his system by tho pure stimulant which forms the basis of the Bitters, is most health ful and invigorating. The scholar, the merchant, and, in fact, all men whose minds or bodies, or both, are in constant exercise, will derive benefit from its use. To persons of sedentary habits it supplies, in somo measure, that activity in the cir culation which is obtained by physical exertion, and is the best known remedy for constipation.

Chills and Fever seem to ho tho order of theday, but such is not the case with those who take our Tonic Liver Bitters. In onr Southern climate, tho eystem is constantly absorbing malarious poison, tiie first effects of wbicb are to stupify tlie Liver; costiveness comes next; coated tongue, dull feeling of langor, head ache—soon to be followed by a chilly sensation and burning fever. To prevent this, keep your Livtr stimulated w.th some good vegetable medicino, and the TUNIO LIVER BITTERS is better for it than anything. Incorporated in it aro Cun-h-ma Bark. Gentian and other valuable vegetable tonics. The doso is from a tablespoonful to a wine glass full two or three times a day, or often enough to prodace a healthy action on the bowels The Bitters should only be taken when you need them, aud your feelings will tell you when.
