SiaavanoN is in* Midst of Plenty.—A living
tun is continually exerting mechanical force and
SkitR off host; and in proportion ho is continually
uriergoing a loss of woight—that is to say a loss
of robetanos. This lifo-long production of heat
and of mechanloal force is not suspended even
daring sleep. Not to go farther, sloop does not in-
tempt respiration—a clearly mechanical function.
As to the generation of heat it is unnecessary to
insist. It ia plain that this ceaseless manifesting of
uul force with its accompanying and strictly pro
portioned waste could not continue forever. The
nan would dwindle to nothing. Bat long before
the effect* of this gradual diminution hocomo ap
parent, they are felt in the form of the two impa
wn eensatlon*—hanger and thirst. To still theso
(Taringe, to restore the lost weight, and to pnt tho
nan in a position still to keep on losing weight (as
tie price of keeping on producing heat and mo*
dtanioal force) it is necessary that ho should bo
supplied with three things—air, water and food.
Now, simply receiving food into the stomach is not
truly receiving food into tho system. Strictiyspeak-
ing, food lying in tho stomach is as truly without
and not within the body, as is food hold in the hol
low of the doted hand. Only when it has been
thoroughly digested and assimilated can it be said
that it i* really received into tho system. But how
seldom U the organism in a position thoroughly to
awimulate sufficient food! What aro tho conse
quence* ? Tho outcome exceeds the inoomo ? and
tho bodily strength fails bocaose the system can
no longer keep np tho mutually balancing waste
•nd renovation. Here it is that a tonic stimulant,
(inch a* Dr. Fisch's Bitters,) proves so beneficial—
it might almost bo said, so indespensablo.
CITY AFFAIRS.
FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 1, 1871.
Snu, Oxwabd and Ufwabd.—Tho extraordinary
fKFsate that has taken place in tho sale of Hostet
ler’* Stomach Bitten daring tho past year, is an-
°th«r proof that an intelligent pooplo, although
they may try all things, hold fast only to that which
iegood. No amount of puffery can lift inferior
•rtide* to the position of standard specifics. To
u»e the words of Tom Paine, they may go np like
a rocket, hut aro sure to come down ignominiously
like it* extinguished stick. Hundreds of such nos
trums have gone np and come down since the intro
duction of Hoetetter'a Stomach Bitten, nearly tho
hfth of a century *go. Yet it still remains the su-
prem* tonic of tho ago. It has not, and never has
had a rival in efficacy or popularity, and now stands
at the head of all propriotary remodios manufac
tured on thin side of tho Atlantic. In overy civ-
thied community on this continent, or in South
America, it is tho accepted romody for dyspepsia,
bihoua complaints, constipation, general debility,
nervous weakness, and many other unpleasant or
dangerous maladies. A medicine so widely extended
i*, of course, pirated and imitated by dealers with-
cut conscience or integrity.
Therefore, let every man or woman who designs
topurchaae tho genuine Hostetter’s Stomach Bit-
to**, mo to it that they have wh&t they pay for, and
not tho results of an infamous imposture. Look
*»**fnlly at label, stamp, and name blown in the
glass, and do not forget that the true bitters is
•dd in bottles only.
Hat* You Nayee IIeaud of It r—Then inquire
at ease at your grocer's for Dooley's Chemical
Yaaat Baking Powder, tho only etrictly pure and
harmless Baking Towder in market, from which
(°od, sweet, palatable biscuits, rolls, cakes, or pas-
ny can be made uniformly with the same success.
Thia article has been steadily increasing in demand
and public favor, and stands to-day the most relia
ble baking powder in use. Aak your grocer for
Dooley’s Yeast Powder, and your testimony to its
metical worth will he added to thousands of
other*.

Seating Rink.—Mr. Booher has again re
turned to the city, and is fixing up the Skating
Rink in Robert's Hall in tip-top stylo for the
fall and winter season. It will be opened for
the reception of visitors as soon as the cool
weather seta in—dno notice of which will be
given.
Postponed Sale.—The auction sale of the
billiard table, one rack, balls, tables, chairs,
carpets, eta, in the clab rooms over the Freed-
men’s Bank, on Mulberry street, was postponed
yesterday nntil to-morrow (Saturday) morning,
at 11 o’clock. This is a rare chance to get snch
articles, and those desiring them should attend
the sale.
Railboad Accident.—The np passenger train
on the Macon and Western railroad, which left
this city at 5:03 p. n., on Wednesday last, was
thrown from the track when just beyond Grif
fin, by a bull that had taken position on the
track probably for that purpose. The “cree-
tnr’s” effort was a success, but it was mighty
hard on his flesh and bones, as they were ut
terly demolished. The whole train ran off, bnt
no one was injured, wo understand, bnt a ne
gro man. In consequence of tho accident, no
freight train came down yesterday.
Especial attention is called to the card of the
Sonthern Homo School of Baltimore. The fact
that it has been in successful operation for 29
years, and always liberally patronized, attests
the advantages it possesses. Mrs. Pegram is
the widow of tho distinguished Gen. Pegram,
who foil daring the last engagement of tho late
war aronnd Petersburg. This Institution is
complete in all respects, including comforts,
discipline, tho course of stndy, eto. French is
the language of tho schooL Wo are glad of the
opportnnity to commend it.
Connubial Felicity.—Nothing tends more to
tounubial happinota than cheerful and healthy in
fanta and children. Mr*. Whitcomb's Syrup is the
I teas children’* aootlung remedy.
Fast Day See vices in the M. E. Chubch
South.—In accordance with a resolution of the
South Georgia Conference, the Methodist peo
ple observe to-day os a day of fasting and pray
er. Divine services will bo held ns follows, in
tho First Street Chnrch:
Prayer meeting at 9 a. m. Children’s meet
ing at 12 m., sermon by Rev. W. W. Hicks, (all
parents are invited to bring their children.)
Mother’s prayor meeting at 5 p. m. Preaching
at 8 p. M.
The revival is still in progress at First Street
Chnrch in great power and increasing interest.
Memphis Deawino.—Messrs. Brown & Co.,
sent ns a telegram yesterday from the managers
saying tho drawing is postponed nntil October
31st. We imagine they have not been so sno*
ccssfnl in disposing of the tickets as they anti
cipated, in conseqnonce of tho very dull times,
eto.
For the benefit, however, of those who feel
anxions, we will say Messrs. Brown & Co. have
the proceeds for all tiokots sold by them on de
posit at Cnbbedgo & Hazlehnrst’s bank. It
takos some time to dispoBO of so many tickets,
and the onterpriso is a largo one. Have a little
patience, yon who expect to bo lucky.
Cotton.—Under this caption, in onr adver
tising colnmns, will bo found the business of
Mossrs. Campbell & Jones, warehousemen and
cotton commission merchants, in the Iron Ware
house on the corner of Poplar and Second
streets. Both gentlemen of the firm aro excel,
lentbnsiness men, of enlarged experience in the
cotton bnaines3, and last season thoy were fa
vored with an extensive patronage. They give
their business close personal attention, and wo
guarantee that thoy will give all patrons full
satisfaction. They aro also agents for tho Wind-
ship Improved Cotton Gin, ono of the best gins
in use, and also forMcriyman & Co.’s Amonia-
ted Dissolved Bone, which they aro selling at a
redneed price.
Mexemtsyohosis.—It was the theory of
Pythagoras of old, ihat at death the sonls of
men were transmigrated into the bodies of
beasts, and thus entered upon a new and infe
rior existence. Bat in these latter days of
change and reform, tho reverse of this is trne,
and fish and other creatnres assume the biped
state though retaining names and habits.
Thns we perceive a veritable Pike in tho dol
lar store, neat as a pin and all smiles and bows,
yet retaining all of his piscatory voracity, and
actually gobbling up half the trado of the city.
Why is this ? Simply because this fishy or fin
ny bipod, being fnlly up to trap, or rather feel
ing sensible of the virtue of a good bail, know
ingly baits his hooks with the mngio dollar, and
thns catches all who wish bargains, and love to
savo money.
Joking aside, it is an impenetrable mystery
how the useful articles and pretty things offered
by Mr, Pike, can be afforded for a solitary dol
lar. Go, therefore, and buy without asking
troublesome questions.
Wobk Commenced on the Street Railboad.
Bright and early yesterday morning Mr. Pos-
tell,'contractor for laying down tho track of the
street railroad, broko ground immediately op
posite the Passenger Depot. Ho had a largo
force at work dnring the day, divided into two
squads, the second gang working between
Cherry and Mulberry on Fourth streot. Tho
road will first bo completed to the Fair Grounds,
and returning construction will be resumed at
the intersection of Fourth and Cherry—np
Cherry to Third, thence to Mulberry again, then
to Cotton Avenno and ont to Tattnall Square.
There was a degree of assurance in tho will
with which the construction went forward yes
terday, leaving little donbt that in a few weeks
the cars wonld bo running to the Fair Grounds,
and in the coarse of two months tho whole line
will bo finished and in running order. It can
bo completed within sixty days if the iron, ties,
stringers and other material come forward
promptly, which wo have no donbt they wiU do.
Fourth was a lively looking street yesterday.
Hundreds of citizens went down to see tho road
aotnally being bnilt in which they are so much
interested, and which has their very best wishes
for succoss and a long life of prosperity. Among
the crowd we noticed a large delegation from
Tatnall Square, who claimed to be tho fathers
of the road. They say that its completion is
obliged to insure a dense population in their
end of town, and wo reckon they aro right
about it.
This enterprise will mark an epoch in the his
tory of our city. It will attract the attention of
strangers—give us the air, tho appearance and
the general look of a modem American city;
force population from the crowded and heated
heart to tho surface of the body; extend the
boundary line; bring tho present suburbs into
market, and in convenient, easy and accessible
communication with what is now known as the
business centre, and by affording speedy and
cheap transportation, dispense with horses and
vehicles and make living cheaper.

Senator Scott, chairman of theKn-klux Com
mittee, had an interview with the President and
submitted a communication, winch was_ fully
discussed in the interview, setting forth briefly
the number of acts of unlawful violence that
have beon perpetrated within tho past few
months in the various counties in South Caro
lina. and notably in Spartanbnrg and York, for
which no ono had been punished by the civil
authorities, as disclosed by tho investigations
of the snb-Committee in their recent visit to
those localities; also the fact that Senator Scott,
had there notified prominent citizens that if
these acts of violence by disguised men con-
tinned, and especially if witnesses examined
by the Committee were subsequently outraged
he wonld call the President’s attetnion to the
facts, and recommend that he exercise the pow
ers conferred by the Ku-klux Act. He sub
mitted to tho President various communica
tions, affidavits, etc., showing that since the re
turn of the Committee, and in spite of the ef
forts of leading citizens who, upon his sugges
tion, had made strong efforts, by speeches and
otherwise, to control and check lawlessness,
the outrages had continued to go on undimin
ished, while the perpretrators are unpunished.
He suggested to the President the propriety of
issuing a proclamation under the Ku-klnx Act,
preliminary to a proclamation of martial law in
York and Spartanburg counties, and that, under
the third section of the act, instructions be
issued to tho military commanders in the ad
joining counties to arrest parties without pro
cess, and hand them over to the civil authorities
for prosecution. Tho President agreed to the
suggestion, and a proclamation, preliminary to
a declaration of martial law, may soon be ex
pected.

Washington, D. O., August 31, 7:40 p. m. j
The lowest pressure, which was central on
Wednesday afternoon north of Lake Ontario,
has moved northeast beyond onr stations. Heavy
rain was reported Wednesday in Northern New
England. Partially cloudy and clearing weather
has prevailed to-day from Lake Michigan east
to the Atlantic. There is clear and pleasant
weather from this region southward to the Gulf
States and westward. Cloudy and threatening
weather has been reported on the coast of Lon-
isiana, and it is probable that a storm of small
dimensions has prevailed on the coast of Texas,
bnt this evening reports from that State are not
yet received. The barometer, after rising in
the Northwest, has again fallen from Missouri
northwards, with fresh southerly winds.
Probabilities: Clear and cool weather is
probable for to-night from New England to
Georgia and the Ohio valley; clearing and clear
weather on the Lakes; local and light winds
and increase of temperature for Friday over the
same region. Falling of the barometer and
southerly winds from Lake Huron to Tennes
see and westward to Missouri.
Poet Jervis, August 29.—The storms of the
past few days are now being felt in damages by
flood. The Delaware Biver is many feet above
high water mark and still rising rapidly. At
this place a thirty thousand dollar supension
bridge is being constructed across the Dela
ware. A long and expensive coffer dam has
just been completed, and an improved steam
pnmp with boiler and engine placed in it to pro
ceed with the work of laying the middle pier.
The dam is entirely submerged and the ma
chinery nearly so. If the river continnes rising
a few hours longer the whole structure will be
swept away. At Milford, Penn., the hotel of
S. D. Vanelten is in imminent danger. On Yan-
desmonk creek the bridge at Sherman’s steam
tannery has been swept away, and the engine
house of the tannery. The bank is caving, and
it is not safe to work about the tannery. Travel
on the Erie Railroadis seriously impeded by tho
storm of last evening. On the Monticello and
Port Jervis Railroad all travel was suspended by
a heavy land slide at Hartwood.
New York, August 31.—The Canard steamer
Java, from Liverpool last night, reports on the
night of the 25 th August, abont 11 o’clock, the
saloon being foil of passengers tho cry of “hard
a port” was heard. The Java’s engines stopped,
and then came a crash that shook the vessolfrom
end to end. Those who rnshed on deck, saw ono
half of a large vessel on one side and the other
half on the other side. Boats wero got; ont
at once, and after searching carefully abont,
they returned, having saved one man, from
whom it was learned that the vessel run down
was the Norwegian bark Annita, from Ports
mouth to Quebec, with 12 hands on board, 11
of whom went down with the bark. It was for
some hours a matter of doubt as to whether tho
Java was injured.
New Yoek, August 31.—The Wall street mar
kets exhibited increased strength and activity
this afternoon, with a genoral upward move
ment in prices on stock exchanges. Railroad
speculation was buoyant and the advance was
quite genera], and business better distributed
than for some time past. The announcement
from Washington thi3 afternoon that Secretary
Bontwell has called in $100,000,000 of 5 20
bonds was the main cause of the general firm-
nosa in prices. The calling in of so large an
amount of 5-20 bonds is generallyinterpreted as
meaning to bull tho market on stock exchange
dnring the fall months.
Savannah, August 31.—Prominent physicians
sign a statement to the effect that no yellow
fev6r exists in Savannah, nor any disease ap
proximating to it. The season np to this time
is tho healthiest within their experience.
St. Thomas, West Indies, August 22, via
Halifax, August3l.—Aterriflohurricane,which
veered from overy point of the compass, raged
yesterday and last night. An earthquake added
to the horror during the night. Hundreds of
dwellings were swept away. Not a house on
the islands was undamaged. Six thousand peo
ple are houseless, and 150 are killed—30 corpses
have been hauled from under the ruins. Ves
sels wero tom from their anchors. The Island
of St. Kits is said to be in rains.
Berlin, August 31.—A town in east Prussia,
sixty miles from Konigsburg, of 479 inhabi
tants, had 79 casos and 4G deaths of cholera.
