TO CORRESPONDENTS, Ruth Fairfax —One of our corres pondents having asked for a description of Ruth Fairfax, the talented authoress of “The Karls of Sutherland,” she gives the following. We have too much gal lantry, we trust, to contradict a lady; but we only wish that our readers could see Ruth’s “photograph”—that’s all; she writes; Savannah, March 27, 1869. Bear Banner: Somebody wants to know how I look They have formed an “ideal.” How does the following picture correspond with that ideal. A handful of iron grey hair, a swarthy complexion, a pair of light grey eyes, hands that could not possibly wear sevens, feet that can’t walk in fours, and a figure lacking only some few inches of being six feet high! Poor Ruth! do you not feel like calling out, “save me from rny friends ?” Will Mrs. I)., of Alabama, accept the above as an answer to the letter of March ‘Juth ? Yours, truly, Kith Fairfax. J. L. writes us, from Wytheville, Ya., the following account of the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day at Cripple Creek, Ya.: At 10 o’clock A. M. our respected Pastor, the Rev. Cyprian F. Devine, of St. Mary’s, Wytheville, commenced a Missa cantata; and after the first Gospel, he read us a text from St. Paul to the Romans, on the strength of which he delivered us an exceedingly eloquent discourse, in the Irish language, on the birth, ordination, life and labors of onr glorious Patron. The able discourse drew tears from many eyes; and, it would seem the zeal of our Pastor could not be satisfied till he delivered an English sermon for the children (those who did not understand Irish) and non- Catholics. This is how St. Patrick’s Day came off at Cripple Creek. G. McG. & G., Philadelphia, Pa.—All right. Mrs. A. S., Savannah, Ga.—Have written you by mail and sent M. 0. Hope that it will reach you safely. Miss A. M 8., Beaufort, S. C.—Sent by mail remittance, which will, we hope, prove satisfactory J. J. D.,St. Augustine, Fla.—All sub jects in yours of March 24th attended to. All light. O C. 0. G.—The story is rather crude and unfinished. It might be worked up and made suitable, but we havn’t got the time. W. 8., Young Crusader Office, Boston, Mass.—We shall take pleasure in dis tributing the copies you send us. K. E Y., Charleston, S. C.—Your ■verses respectfully declined. Miriam—“My Next Door Neighbor” will appear in our next. Marie Josephine—“ The Fisher Girl” has been received. Many thanks for your contributions. R. O’B , Columbia, S. C.—Will attend to your request. Rev. H. P. C., St. Augustine, Fla.— We regret that we cannot supply the back numbers requested, and therefore return the amount sent for them. Chas. N. TANARUS., Newport, R. 1., writes: “I uni very much pleased with the paper; and, as a Catholic convert of more than twenty years’ standing*, have grown more and more attached to the Catholic Church and all its customs.” Your good wishes are appreciated and reciprocated.

C., Atlanta, Ga., says: “Havn't made up my mind yet to give up the Banner; its contributions are so able, to say nothing of the vigor, freshness, elo quence and true Southern doctrine of Father Ryan’s writings.” We hope our friend won’t find it necessary to quarrel. Can’t we mediate ? R. P., Corpus Christi, Texas—That was an oversight. You are correct, and we shall make the change requested. R. R. R., Palatka, Fla.—Amount credited and papers forwarded. I. T. 8., Lake City, Fla.—We are un der obligations to you for your kindness, and shall be pleased to have your valua ble aid. B. McG., Mobile, Ala.—Will write you by mail. A. P. W., Newton, Ala.--Writes as follows: “The Banner of the South so richly merits the patronage of all true Southerners, that I am anxious to assist in increasing its circulation. Its patri otict sentiments, pure style, and manly course, only need to be observed and un derstood, to place it in every house where the cherished memories of the Past are held sacred, and a desire to promote the interests of our land is cultivated.” The list referred to was not received. We append herewith a notice from the Southern Star , Newton, Ala : The Banner of the South. —A friend has presented us a copy of this most ex cellent paper, published at Augusta, Ga. The Ban ner of the Soeth is edited by the Rev. A. J. Ryan—better known as “Father Ryan”-—an accomplished scholar, and one of the most gifted men of our day. His soul-stirring eloquence as an orator, only increases in vigor and pathos when breathed through his pen. In all that he writes brilliant sentences seem to come swelling up from his devoted heart to rekindle and keep alive our devotion to right. Some of his poems, so sweetly sad, yet brimful of the fire of patriotism, will glitter as jewels on the brightest pages of Southern literature so long as heart throbs to keep alive the memory of the heroic band who marched to glory battling for the South. Though a son of Erin, we are proud to know that the broad ocean has borne to our own sunny South another of her im passioned lovers of Freedom and Song. Many of his best verses (they are all good) are as amaranthine wreathes, woven for memory to twine round the untar nished swords and silent graves of those who fell in support of the “Lost Cause.” No paper is doing more to defend be fore the world the unsullied character of the South for honor, chivalry and patriot ism. It is published weekly. Is a large eight-page paper—printed in large, clear type. Each number contains the latest and most reliable news from all parts of the world. The historical romance, “The Last Lays of Carthage, or A Sister of Fabiola,’’ will be well worth the subscrip tion. Let all who wish to read one of the best “weeklies’’ in the land subscribe for the Banner of the South. We thank our esteemed correspondent, A. P. W., and the Editor of the Star, for the good opinion expressed of the Banner of the South, and for the kind allusions to our Editor. The Editor of the Star makes one mistake however —Father liyan is to the “ manor born,’’ being a Virginian by birth. H. C., J., New Era Office, Stevenson, Ala, —Have no back numbers. Have sent from No. 1 vol. 2. W. N. A., Gadsden, S. C., says: “ Poor and cripple as I am, I would rather lose the amount of one year’s subscrip tion to your paper than to be deprived of the month’s perusal of it.” We have written to you by mail. The parties named do not subscribe. Write us often as you please. We shall always be glad to hear from you. S. E P., Indianapolis, Ind. —Money received and paper sent. J.B. N., Norfolk, Va.—All right. J. McC., LeKalb Cos , Mo.—Writes to us that he has been swindled by the Metropolitan Gift Company of New York. We shall inquire into the subject, and if a proper explanation is not given, will publish your notice in full, as requested. Mrs. S. S.LaV., New Madrid, Mo. — We have given your letter to a llorist here to answer. J. L., Rome, Ga.—Writes: “The Banner is gaining rapidly in popularity with our people, and seems to be highly appreciated by all who take it.” We cannot furnish “ The Earls of Sutherland.” Wo have sent all from No. 1 vol 2. Miss K. M. L , Oil Trough Bottom, Ark., says : “ And were it convenient for me to do so, an active interest in the •Mini ©on ®©ifi; Banner would indeed be a labor of love. As it is, I can only use my pen and write in its service.” Rev. J. O’S., Rockville, Mo.—All right. Paper sent. 11. A. M., Dalton,Ga. —We have none of the "books referred to. Have asked D. B. about it. f To Southern Farmers-New Grass.— An acre of the Japan Clover and Lis pedeza Striata, so famuos in the Caroli nas, is worth to any farmer SSOO. The only way to get the seed is to send two subscribers to the Southern Farmer , published in this city by M. W. Phillips & Cos., 37 South Court street, at $2 per annum. It is the most beautiful and valuable Agricultural Journal published in the South, and the publishers will give one ounco of the seed, clean and fresh, for two subscribers, or one pound for sixteen. One ounce properly treated this year will seed an acre next. Now is the time to sow it It is the most valuable offered by the the journals. A majority of persons living in the South are predisposed to diseases of the Liver, and most of the pains and aches complained of are owing to a deranged state of that important organ. The Sim mons Liver Regulator is the great remedy for the diseases incident to a disorganized Liver, Dyspepsia, Consti pation, Sick Headache, Female Irregu larities, etc. One says: It had done me more good than any medicine lever used. Another says: I consider it an invalu able remedy. Another says: My son, who was so long considered a hopeless case, is now in blooming health, from using the Sim mons Regulator. For sale by all druggists. It is said that Calisays Bark has a peculiar effect upon the liver, and guards the system against diseases by exposure and irregular diet. It is conceded that the great success of the wonderful Plantation Bitters; which previous to our late unhappy difficulties, was found in most southern homes, was owing to the extract of Calisays Bark which it contained as one of the principal ingredi ents. In confirmation of this we have heared one of our distinguished Physici ans remark, that whenever he felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or atmospheric causes, he invariably relieved himseifby Plantation Bitters. We speak advisedly when we say that we know it to be the best and most popular medicine in the world. Magnolia Water— Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and soldi at half the price.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whoopmg Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Consumption. P-olLblv nft*r before in the whole history of tnedi.-nn*, iia> anything won so widely and so deeply upon U:e confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long series oi years, and among most of the races of num it has risen higher and higher in their estinia lion, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various affections oi the lungs and throat, have made it known as a re* name protector against them. While adapted to rniluer lorms of disease and to young children, it is at tin; same time the most effectual remedy that can be given lor incipient consumption, and tbe dan gerous affections of the throat ami lungs. Asa pro vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should bo kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settled C onsumptiou is thought in curable, still great numbers of cases where the dis ease seemed settled, have been completely cured and the patient restored to sound health' by the Cherry Pectoral. .So complete is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs ami Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth ing el - e could reach them, under the Cherry Pec toral they subside and disappear. Siuy>-rs and Public Speakers find great pro tection from it. Asthma, is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities arc fully maintained. Ayer’s Ague Cure, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. As its name implies, it does Carr, and does not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in nowise injures any patient. The number and importance of its cures in the ague dis tricts, are literally beyond account, and we believe without a parallel in ihe history of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, ami where other remedies had wholly failed. Unaccliniated persons, either resident" in, or travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro tected by taking the AGUE CUBE daily. For hirer Complaints, arising from torpidity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. For Bilious Disorders anil Liver Complaints, it >3 an excellent remedy, producing many truly re markable cures, where other medicines had failed. Prepared by Du. J. C.
