ONLY ONE BOTTLE
OF
DR. SANDPORD'S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
is required TO 01/RB any one troubled with
Liver Oo.nplaints, unless the most deperate of cases,when
the second bottle will, with carce a single failure restore the
patient to health and vigor. We wish, to call theatteutlou of
all to these tacts, that the luvigorator is compounded by a
physician who has used it in his practice for the past twenty
years with & success almost incredulous, and that it is entire
ly vegetab e, being composed wholly ol gums.
Some idea of the strength of these gums may be formed
when it is known one .bottle of the luvigorator contains as
much strength as one hundred doses of Calomel, without any
ol its deleterious effects.
One bottle is the surest'thing known to carry away tLe bad
effects ot mineral poison of any kind.
Only one bottle is needed to throw out ol the system the ef
fects of medicine after along sickness.
On**bottle taken for jaundice removes nil yellowness or
unnatural color from the skin.
One dose after eating is sudicient to relieve the stomach
and prevent the food .from rising ami gsouring*
i inly one dose taken before retiring prevents nightmare.
One dose taken at night loosens the bo we is geutlv r and cures
cosi-i v .mess
one dose taken after each meal wilEcure Dyspepsia.
One dose of two ten-spoonsful will always relieve Wick
Headache-
One bottle taken for leuittle obstruction removes the cause
of the disease, and makes a perfect cure.
Only one dose immediately relieves cholic, while
One dose often repeated is a sure cure for Cholera Morbus,
and a sure preventative of Cholera.
One dose taken often will'prevent the recurrence of bil
ious attacks, while it it relieves tall painful .feeing.-.
One or two doses taken occasionally is one ol the best rem
edies for a cold ever known.
Thousands of cases of Intiammation and weakness ol the
lungs have been cured by the Invigorator.
One dose taken a short, time betore eatiug give vigor to
the appetite and makes food digest w* II
One dose often repeated cures chronic dtarrbcea in fts worst
forms, while summer and bowel complaints yield almost to
the first dose.
one or two doses cures attacks caused by worms, while for
worms in children, there is no surer, safer and speedier rem
edy in the world, as it never fails.
There is no exaggeration in these ‘statements, they are plain
and sober lads, that we can give evidence to prove; while all
who use it are givingpheir unanimous testimony in its favor.
We wish all who are sick and debilitated to try this remedy
and test it thoroughly, and any who [are not benefited by It*
mewe should like to hear from, as we have yet to hear from
the first person who has uted a bottle of Invigorator without
receiving benefit,tor-there are such a*.to .ishing medicinal
> irtues in it, that all, no matter Show Hong they have been at
fected.it their complaint arises from a deranged liver, will be
benefited, if not entirely cuied.

THE POET’S WISH.
BY LITA H. BARNEY.
I long to depart where earth storms are no more,
Where sorrows and sufferings cease
My weak spir.t siiri ks irom this contact with cla y
And sighs ior its final release.
1 long to depart :o the poet’s bright home,
Where Thought revela gloriously free,
My wings to unfurl iu the wond'rous Unknown,
Eternity’s unbroken sea.
I long to depart where no In an ache e’er comes,
Whete friend may truai friend without fear:
Where heart meeteth heart in one joyous rebound.
And loving ones always are near.
I long to depart, where the zephyrs so bland
Os heavenly gales, kiss my cheek,
Whose voices in air, with their melodic strains.
Sweet j-aeans of l >ve ever speak”
I long to depart to “Our Father” above,
Who knoweth my weakness and sin,
Who sees when I err—yet hath promised in love,
• ; lf I knock, I may quick enter in.”
I long to depart;—and oh! how complete
Is my bliss, for Thy word to us is given,
That in *that blest land all my pleasures shull meet,
My wife, and my children, and heaven.
First District —Congressional Candidates.
A correspondent of ihe Savannah Georgian ihus writes
of the candidates for Congress in that District. Since ihe
publication ol the letter, Mr. Dawson, one of the candi
dates, withdrawn his name, or been pushed oft’ the
track :
“There are, so far, lour candidates for Congress (all Col
onels) in thi* District First is Colonel J. L Seward. He
prides himself that he was “brought up a child of poverty
and orphanage,and faced every misfortune incident to the
sternest adversity hence his genuine Democracy ; and
hacked with a recommendation of the representatives of a
number of counties recently assembled in Brunswick, and
the support of tie* Savannah Georgian, he claims to be
turned to Congres-s lor font years or more.
“Ala.* 011 tbe Democratic side ‘strides forth, Ajax-like,
Col. Wm. B. Gauiden, the “lion of Liberty county,’’ and
nominee of the Holmeaville Convention, but somewhat
disowned by the haut ton of the Democracy, who think
the gallant Colonel overdid his modesiy by a sleight of
hand mode of thrusting himself upon the people, just as if
it was a crime in a mail to praise or recommend himself
when nobody else will take that trouble. All is fair uow in
war or politics, and it i the opinion of many that Colonel
Gaulden should run on his uoiniuation. Already, like a
man of true genius, as lie found no paper ready to support
him, he has set the machinery of anew paper going in Sa
vannah for the campaign, and to render it more terriftie to
his opponents, he has taken the Chatham county jailer,
Hollis, from his task of looking after the present jail turds,
viz : five murderers and thirty otht*r criminals, and install
ed him as an editor. The “lion” is bristliug up for battle
and will make a bold fiidht, as he d;d las; winter at the
Southern Commercial Convention t<* ro-opeu the slave
trade.
“On the Know Nothing side there are likewise two can
didates lor the same office ; Col. Andrew Hunter Holmes
Dawson, ot Savannah, a Kentuckian by birth, a lawyer by 1
profession, of a mercurial disposition, and troubled fre
quently with spasmodic fits of rushing into print over innu
merable no ms de plumes, is the independent Know Noth
irig candidate. He is, withal, a man oi excellent heart, has
! written a work on pigeons, but is considered of no great
j account by the K. JN big bugs of Savannah ; yet he is far
j more popular than the other K. N. candidate, brought out
!by the artful dodges of the great pollywog of Know
! Nothingißin in this District, theSavaunah Republican,
j The candidate thus set forth by the Republican, is Col.
| F. 8. Bartow, a lawyer of Savannah, said to be ot very
i “lofty bearing and brilliant intellect.” Col. Bartow,
j however.cannot carry the crowd, as wherever he address-
I esthem he loses a number ot votes by a haughty aristocrat
ic habit he has of tugging up his shirt collar. T his is per
, haps caused by an ellort to bring it to a level with his* 4 lofty
| bearing.” At any late the people do not like it,and in this
Republic “the people” help considerably to get a man into
Congre-s.”
The Evil and the Remedy,
The follow ing is the summing up, and in fact the whole
gist of an article some six or eight pages long, in the
American Church Monthly. YVe may add to the socia
evils of the age, the “everlasting Hood” of words in which
some writers indulge, without self-control. But we v ill
not here criticise ; our only object i* to commend the
extract to the thoughtful oonoidorAtion of every ohrlotian
and every patriot:
“It men are to live out their days, if the Church is to be
sustained in anything like the wav in winch she ought to
be sustained, ii excitement is not to take the place of recre
alion, and the very idea ot temperance to he banished
from the land, there must he a genera relaxation in the
pursuit of wealth. The popular idea of temperance h ab
stinence from intoxicating liquors. One instance of self
control carried into excess, and so throwing a reflection
upon ail other instances. But what our young people re
quire to he taught, is not total abstinence from certain bev
erages, and sneering at those who use them, but self-con
trol. Self-control to be applied in every part of life
The application which men chiefly require to be taught,
are to control their desires for wealth, and tlfoir love of
excitement. Women should be taught to control their
love ot personal finery, as well as of those-excitements
which they mi-call amusements, and of the self-indulgence
of idleness, and learn to find occupation for them
selves. The great lesson lor all is to avoid self-indulgence,
to believe that human beings are sent into thi world lor
other purposes than the gratification of their own desires
and fancies. When men have learned to aim at a subsist
cnee, or at most a competency, instead of a fortune, and
women have learned to find their happiness in steady em- j
ploymenle, anu not in alternate idleness and excitement, j
most o 4 our social evils will have disappeared. Just in j
proportion as individuals assume these new positions, these j
evils will be dimini-hed. 11. D. E.” j
Weather and Crops in Louisiana.
The Lake Providence Herald, of the Bth inst,says:
‘‘At last the rain has ceased, much to the relief of plan
ters. I'he cotton we fear, is suffering considerably from
the effects of rust, and a too rapid growth consequent upon
the heavy and almost incessant rains of the past few
weeks.”
The Richmond (Madison parish) Journal , of the 7th in
stant says:
“ The farmers complain of too much rain for the cotton.
An average corn crop is now secure; and we think that
if the present month and the next should be dry. the yield
in this and the adjoining parishes will be equal to that oi
lavt year, which however was less than an average yield.
Planters will commence picking at least one month later
than usual ; notlrng therefore, but a most favorable fall can
save them from the shortest crops made for several years.”
The Baton Rouge Adcocatt, of the 12th inst., says:
“We fear the cotton crop is ruined wherever the rains
that have visited this neighborhood have extended. The
damage already can be safely put down at fifty per cent.
The cane everywhere ia growing rapidly. It was fully
three behind the season before the rains began, since
which time we have heard no complaint of its want of
height and size.”
The Weather and the Crops in Ala. —The nights
and mornings of late have bc-en extremely *o< 1, and on

Important Treasury Decision. —The Secretary of
the Treasury, Hon. Howell Cobb, has instructed tiie
United States Appraisers, as follows ; “In the case of

will be regarded as fixing the market value.” This is

The Peach Culture
YVe give the subjoined letter (says the charleston Cour
ier,) from our liberal friend and correspondent, R. J. Mo
ses, Esq., of Columbu9, (4a., addressed to us at Kalmi a
near Aiken, S. C., as containing valuable information in
relation to the peach culture, from one eminently experi
enced and successful in that luscious line. It will be seen
that our peach King did more than pay the postage on his
welcome lettei:
1 notice your remarks about the destruction ol the peach
crop, and the success of Mr. Giegg last year 1 met wiUi
Mr. G. in Columbus some years since, and had a long
conversation with him about his prospects,which 1 am glad
to find are likely to be realized. I have never received
more than half of $6 000 from ray crops, but hope to pass
that point alter a while. My principal orchards are yet,
what, alas! / am not, too young to bear, but in a year or
two I expect to realize the full fruition of my labors. I
regard the point of remuneration unlimited with proper at
tention.
Your neighbor, Mr. P—, with 100 fires, ought to have
saved more than a few peaches I think he must have
managed badly, or not fired up some of the many host kil
ling nights of last season. My plan is to leave space in
my orchards, about thirty or forty yards apart, in which I
place a few’ logs. The same is done about every fifty or
sixty yards round the north side of the orchard. I have
my fires built up about 1 o’clock, a. m., and keep them
burning until sunrise. My hand* go through iho orchard**
with hoes, and keep the fires measurably smothered, so as
to cause considerable smoke, and keep he wood from
burning too tapidly. I have never failed to save a crop,
and !eel perfectly independent of everything but sleet and
hail storms.
1 commence my fires after midnight, tor the reason that
during the day ihe tree? through tiieii leaves absorb heat.
At sunset the operation of nature is reversed. The current
ol air immediately above the trees commences to cool, and
the leaves begin then to radiate heat w'hich ascends. This
process continues, until about 1 or 2 o’clock when the
leaves become colder than the cunent of air above; and as
the atmosphere will not rise from a colder to a warmer
current of air, it remains upon the blossoms and leaves,
and freezes and so destroys the germ ot the fruit At this
point, if the fires are made, and a smoke kept up, the smoke
is drawn through the trees, the avenues making as it were
an artificial current, and the process ia reversed. Nature
knows its own wants, and as the warm smoke passes
through the trees, the leaves commence absorbing heat,
and an artificial warmth is kept up, in the atmosphere im
mediately around the trees, which prevents the moisture
from settling on the tender blossoms aud freezing the germ
of the fruit. 1 think if your friends wilt try this plan, they
will find Jack Frost much less dangerous than Jack the
Giant Killer to the vision of youth.
If I was not 90 well settled where I am, I would wish
no better certainty of making a fortune than to settle a
fruit farm near Charleston, or even near Aikeu. YVhere 1
am, we have three hundred miles land transportation
lore we reach the seaboard; and this is a great disadvan
tage, not only as adding to the expense of transportation,
but because of the tendency of the fruit to decay, before
reaching New York. 1 am making some experiments of
packing my Jruit in charcoal pulverized, after wrapping
them in paper. If I succeed, as I think I shall, I will ex
tend my orchards, with a view principally, of supplying the
Northern markets.
If you plant any trees at your villa, make it a rule nev
er to plant more than you can plant well, and you will
never regret it. Let your trees bush out from within 12
inches of the and shorten in half ot the new
growth every year; clean around the roots annually, and
pick out the worms, or, if you are too busy to do that, pour
in scalding water, and you will never be in want of good
fruit.
Hoping the peaches, to be sent'on Tuesday, will arrive
safely, and that my suggestions about fires may be of use
to your neighbors,
1 remain, very respectfully, your obedient servaut,
R.J. MOSES.

of the gentleman who has so suddenly taken a front place
in editorial rank 9, we clip from the Marion American, the
editor of which paper, Ben Lane Posey, Esq , was a dele
gate to Knoxville from Perry:
The young Hercules of the Convention is RogeJ A. Pry
or, of Virginia, the editor of the South. 1 heard the ques
tion asked a dozen times, ‘‘how old is he?” He looks so
young as to cause surprise at the distinction he bas attained.
He is just turned of 28 years, though he does not appear to
be over 21. He is small in person, not exceeding 125
pounds in weight, has sharp, prominent features, very long
black hair, combed behmd his ears, and a dark brunette
complexion. He has a clear, musical voice, the first tone
of which attracts attention, and commands silence. He is
an ingenious and able debater, and an eloquent declaimer.
In politics he is an ultra States rights and Southern rights
man. Pure in his principles, lofty in his patriotism, bold,
earnest and defiant in his advocacy of right, he seems like a
Rienzi amidst the sad degeneracy of the latter days of the
Roman Empire.

The Missouri Election.
It would ne well for the people of the elaveh< Iding
States to bt-ar in mind the iHsut-s involved at the late
1 gubernatorial election in Missouri, and the relative pcs
-1 itions occupied by the two eandidaies, touching the
j slavery question.
It is an undisputed fact, that Kollios, the Know-noth
iug nominee, received the warm and efficient support of
Blair and al| Isis hading freescil confederates, while
Stewart, the Democratic candidate was acrimoniously
und incessantiy assailed from that qoHrter This alone
would be sufficient evidence tliat Kuow-nothiugism was
1 iu open alliance with Fieesoilism, and that the two
combined, are striving to aboiitionize Missouri.
The St. Louis Democrat, an avowed free soil sheet,
and zealous supporter of Rollins, thus states the posi
, tions of the candidates, as gathered front >heir speeches
in St. Louis, on the eve of the election. li says :
“Major Rollins expressed distinctly ’he conviction that
it may become necessary ju a few years to move in he •
half of the legislative emancipation of the residue of
slaves in our community , and in such event, if it should
1 and mood to the people ot the commonwealth
‘ so to do, the measure would encounter no oppesition
from him This is all that can be asked at tbe hands
of an executive On the other hand, Col. Stewart wnt
out of his way here as he did throughout the large
slaveholding counties of the State, to vilify and abuse
every one connected with the effort to make room in
Missouri for an industrial while race . Jgainst gen
lierneu who stand high in the confidence of the working
men of this city, and against whom he conld urge no
other political objection, he made this ihe the rue of his

Biot. Mahan, of West Point, the same gentleman
we believe, whose buff* vest cr* aled soch u sf osation a
the Court of St. .James, writes;
“iifter the line is completely secured, let u moment
of time bo agreed upon by the committee, in which,
from the American terminus, as a central puiut, the
command, shout with a mighty voice, shall be sent
through Great Britain and her .dependencies and the
United States, wherever connecting lines may lead to.
At this moment, let all men who may be oongregated
for any purpose, as met chants on ’change, operatives,
schools, &0., send up three simultaneous cheers. Let
the two kindred nations, thus wonderfully Ijnked togeth
er, at the same moment interchange grand national
salutes from their chief naval aud commercial harbors.
Let bands of music and organs, on the side of England,
play Hail Columbia and the President’s March; whilst,
on our side, God Save the Queen, and any other na
tional English air, he simultaneously played. To these
uational manifestations of joy at the inauguration of so
eventful an epoch, let anything else be added that good
i taste may sanction.

Concord N. H —Ex-President Pierce.
It wns our good fortune a few days ago, to 6pend
some time in the oapital of tbe Granite State, aud to
make ourselves better acquainted than we had previous
ly been with its people, its institutions, the beauty of its
surrounding scenery and its uiaims to regard among
New England cities.
Ex President Pierce, 9inoe his retirement from the
chief Magistracy, has spent a portion of his time in
Concord, which had been hia residence for many yea s
ftffnrA his election, to the first nflßo*. so tKo ntitin
The feeble sfote of Mrs. Pierce’s health has prevented
the ex-President from determining upon his residence,
although he has, we think, no idea of having his nas
tive state.
The people of Concord, where he is held in the
highest respect and esteem, invariably express the hope
that he will fix his permanent residence among th*ni.
: Fie is now staying temporarily iu Andover, where Mrs.
! P'erce has relatives, YY r e regret to learn that her
1 health, which for a long time has he*.n feeble, in not
j improved since they left YY T >(diington YVe have never
ween the ex-president looking in better health than at

The Crinoline. — By reason of the great error of
j the public in suppoeing that the word ‘crinoline’ is the
j French term for hoops, we are induced to explain that
j there is no similarity between them, and that crinoline
■ is the fashionable material for ladies* skirts, which
| hoops ore not; and they only serve—very imperfectly
—to produce the effect to the jupe of the robe by in>
Anting it a ia ballon, but w iihont the comfort and grace
of the crinoline.
Crinoline is hair cloth. The name is derived from
it manufacture, as mousseline, which is called such,
whether of cotton or mixed goods; hot when of wool,
the word de laine is added ; and so with velveteen,
greuadine, etc., etc. Crin is the French name for
horeo hair, and the addition of ‘oline* is merely the
name of the peculiar manufacture of it. Since the great
luxury of thia kind of skirt has become generally known,
and the price of hair cloth has raised proportion;.b’y,
fine splints aud fibres of wood h.ive been employed to
mix with the here hair in forming the fabric, but even
that stuff* i called crinoline, because the imitation does
not materially deteriorate the goods or change its effect.
| W hen bustlts were in fashion, the best of them were
made from crinoline ; and it is said that the fibres of
the African cactus rather improve the fabric, by mix
ing it judiciously with horsehair.
o*Mr. Edward Stanley, who for many years repre
sented North Carolina in Congress, is the Black Re
publican candidate for Governor of California. He was
always one ol the most objectionable politicians in tbe
South, taking sides against bis section whenever he
dared, aud title recent movement will hardly excite
much surprise. The moral of hi® history, is that men
who representing Southern constituencies, go as far
North as they dare, will when a favorable occasion of
fers dare more, aud uvefleap entirely the thin partion
that separates them from the enemies of their coun

The Next House of Representatives. —The re
cent elections have demonstrated that the Democracy
will have a good working majority in the Dext House
of Representatives. They had” but four to gain in or
der to give them a majority, and this has been accom
plished by the receui elections. The Democratic ma
jority in the next //ouse, over all opposition will be
sufficiently large for ali practical purposes. Tbe defeat
of the notorious Etheridge, the semi-Black Republican
from Tennessee, upon whom the opposition intended
to unite for Speaker, is a great triumph.
Advance in Cotton Goods.—— We learn that the Co
lumbia Mills have advanced the price of osnaborgs to
13 cents, and of yarns to 22 cents per pound. The
high price of cotton has rendered this necessary ; most
of the Georgia factories, we learn, advanced their price
some time back. A few davs go we published a no
tice of the stoppage of near 6,000 looms in Massachu
setts, owing to the on remunerative prices of goods
compated to the cost of cotton. The disproportion in
prices is more severely felt in the manufacture of heavy
goods, wher- a larce portion of the goods is in the
raw South Carolinian , August
