T The Greorgia 'Weekly Telegraph. THE TELEGRAPH MACON, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1869. Bibb County Court House. In reference to the suggestions of “Out siders," in ovr last edition, we are requested to •ay that the Court House Commissioners noti fed the public on the 26th nit. that they had appointed Messrs. L. N. Whittle, G. B. Roberts, and J. M. Boardman, a committee specially for the purpose of imparting information upon the points referred to by Outsiders, and have kept a notice of the fact before the public ever since. All persons desiring information as to the size, style, and cost of the proposed struc ture, are therefore respectfully referred to that oommittee. ' A Twenty Acre Cotton Crop. In the June Cultivator, David Dickson says “The 3d of May I commenced the twenty acre lot and finished the 10th of May; commenced planting the 7th May; fumed under a fine coat of creen manure; used 800 pounds of my com pound per acre. It made thirty-two bales—the last one being a bag and a half, and paid a divi dend on $4000 per acre, after paying all ex penses and improving the capital ten per cent on what it would sell for; but as I wish to be fair, I will state the sale of the seed increased the nett dividends two-thirds or more, but the Hut alone paid a nett dividend on one thousand dollars or more per acre. Crops—Warm Weather. We are now having weather of the ardent kind—warm and sultry both night and day.— Crop accounts are getting to be more cheerful, and we donot doubt that there will be a great change for the better in the course of a week. The soil is dry and the roads very dusty. We need ram, and hope soon to have it. Will planters writ© ns how their wheat and oats are turning out ?. One of our traveling correspon dents, in f Brooks, speaks of oats seven feet high! That is tall. Has he been in a cane- brake lately? Hold-Hold. — The Montgomery Advertiser mentions a “frightful rumor” current at the cap ital of Alabama, viz: that the Legislature is to be convened at an early day. It says that the excuse given for such a call is the necessity of amending the Tax Laws, and the discovery of a clerical error' in the law providing for the gen eral election of this year. The law orders the ■election “on Tuesday the 5th day of August,” but the 3d day of August,-and not the 5th, will be Tuesday this year. The Advertiser regards the reasons for ’ the call as mere pretexts, be cause there is no hope of a material reduction of the taxes being made, and the error about the day of the election is not such a one as would invalidate the election if held. It thinks the real cause that suggests the call is tho fact that the Legislators are out of money and want to make another haul on the Treasury. Colo bed Postmaster at Cuthbeet. — The Cuthhert Appeal says “our colored Postmaster is stm in a state of snspended.animatiori, and it is reportedwould .be glad of the assistance of a competent whjte deputy. The old incumbent, Mr. Peacock, still remains at his post.” Here, we suppose, will be the block at the working of this Radical-negro-postoffice enginery.- What white men will do the work under a negro principal—and if white men cannot be found, where can negroes be obtained competent to the business? The Savannah Republican says the citizens of Cuthbert will have their mail-matter shipped at Ward’s station and send, a carrier after it. We have no information or instruc tions upon the subject. Judicial Election in Tennessee.—Returns have been received sufficient to indicate the election of the Conservative Judicial ticket by a majority of 400 to 500, notwithstanding the tre mendous frauds practiced by the carpet-bag gers. We carry every county in the district except Montgomery.'county, Tennessee, and Logan, Todd, Christian and a part of Warren in Kentucky, from which the darkies flocked in crowds. This result, together with the decision of the Supreme Court which enfranchises 30,- 000 of the disfranchised of this State, has made the'people jubilant! and dispirited the carpet- ■ baggeni. ... ’. Railed ad Consolidation-.—The authorities of tljeipplttinbia-and Charlotte and Columbia and Augusta railroad have, agreed upon terms of consolidation, to be ratified or rejected by their respective stockholders in July. Under the terms agreed upon the stockholders of the Co lombia and Augusta railroad is valued at twenty- two dollars a share, that of the Charlotte and South Carolina railroad is valued at par, and four and a half shares of the former are to be received for brie share of the latter. .Paid Off, — A Washington paper says that twenty-three thousand dollars in gold has been paid to Mr. Hatvey, Minister to Portugal, in full of his salary, which Congress has refused for three years because of a letter not complimen- tary to themselves. It'seemsthat Mr. Fish was opposed to repudiation, and considered the'la- 'TRaerworffiyottsishfre. ~~ i. ‘ j«Tpe Brow* , PrpES.?’ , -7^The Savannah' Repub- Jican 6f Sunday says,'among the freights by! the Tonawanda yesterday were several, briridlesof ..iheiamous ‘.‘Joe BrqwnKkes^’VjTheyaVAfrom a lot of two hundred which their owner is anxi ous to dispose of, he haying the refusal of eight hundred more.

Hatred or the Confederate Dead. Sunday’s press dispatch was very brief and refered to but one subject. It was as follows: “ Washington Cur, May 30. — Occasional flowers thrown on Confederate graves at Arling ton produced disturbances, which were checked by the guards, who prevented the decoration of the Confederate graves. This policy waj forced upon the authorities by ruffians, (supported by thoughtless persons,) who gathered and tram pled upon the flowers. This act, and the neces sity to guard the graves, is universally deplored, but the vast and mixed crowd rendered the guard necessary. Otherwise, there would have been a row, and probably bloodshed. A heavy storm to-day.” The Northern people, borrowing the sugges tion from the Southern practice, very generally appointed last Sunday as a day for decorating the graves of their dead soldiers. The selec tion of Sunday for this purpose met, in some places, with opposition, and the preceding Sat urday or following Monday was substituted^ In Washington the ceremonials took place on Saturday with the result as stated. The crowd, observing some flowers upon the graves of Con federate soldiers, raised a cry of indignation and trampled upon the flowers and the graves of the dead. Amidst this crowd might probably have been a few Confederate sympathizers whose in dignation was roused to madness at this public indignity to the memory of the brave and pat riotic dead. They rallied to oppose and pre vent it, and the soldiers on duty as gnards, in order to prevent a bloody conflict, threw a cor- don around the graves of the dead Confederates, and by preventing any further decoration, re. moved all excuse and provocation for further insult! What spectacle was this; A populace inflamed with such malignant and envenomed hatred of the dead soldiers of the Sontb, that they were ready to fight when they saw flowers upon their graves, and in their blind rage abandoned all manhood to trample upon and disfigure the graves of their enemies. But the telegram was very particular to say that this was done “by ruffians supported by thoughtless persons.” Grave yards are not gen erally popular places with ruffians. It strikes us the occasion, being a purely sentimental and patriotic one, was not sncll as likely to enlist very largely the sympathy and personal atten dance of professional ruffians; and if some of that class had been present out of curiosity they could not probably have taken the direction of proceedings of such a character. The immensity of the throng would have made their efforts to control matters powerless. They would have been hissed off the ground for doing a thing of this nature if popular sentiment did not sanc tion it - Bnt, accepting the explanation and apology of the telegram in this case, it seems to us leaders of public opinion in the North are constantly guilty of utterances which would inspire to acts of more dastard malice than the foregoing. For example, take the.following editorial in Forney’s Philadelphia Press of the 27th; ‘‘Amonument upon Southern soil, to the mem ory of the tens of thousands of brave Union sol diers who perished by' starvation in the prison lens, has been projected. By all means let it ie btqlt, and let it be so conspicuously placed that every living rebel, who has upon his con science the murder of patriots, may at some pe riod of his life see it, and have recalled to him the pictures of misery and death which his fiend ish barbarity assisted to produce.” The spirit of that paragraph , is as fonl and malicious as Satan. The Press must be aware that Federal documents show a greater per tent age of mortality in Federal than in Confederate prisons during the war—and this, with every advantage of ample means to make their pris oners healthy and comfortable, which the Sonih were'entirely destitute of. Is it in the face of such'facts' that the press : dares to charge ‘murder,”, and proposes to seer Southern con sciences with monuments to onr “fiendish bar barity?” Let him build his monuments, but the figures will still stand. We. regret mnch to see these manifestations of inexorable hatred which neither time nor the grave can' mollify. We in the South feel our selves the ; victims to sectional oppression and an outraged constitution. We were bom to rights of self government, of which we have been basely, plundered by a combination of States who have, extinguished : 'our liberties in the blood of onr people. Nevertheless,, oh the days set apart for decorating the graves of the victims, we have forgotten the animosities of the war, and sectional strife. The graves of the dead soldiers of both sections have received the same floral tributes. But what a return of such liberalityTs this? y v— : -~ -> False Packed Hay. There has been some talk, of late, about false-packed cotton, and truly'the planter who is guilty of it deserves reprobation, besides be ing “a fool for his pains.” But as the “Great Northern Hay Crop” is the grand counter-point to the great Southern cotton crop, and both are representative crops, we beg toast our South- em contemporaries how it is about false- packed Hay ? Upon this point our limited ob servation and experience disclose marvels. In respect to Eastern Hay, in’ a‘single bale bought a while - ago for two hundred and. seventy pounds, there were by weight sixty-seven pounds of wood, used in baling it. A gentleman in a lot of eight hundred pounds, found about three hundred pounds of wood. In a hooped bale of Hay bought a week ago, there were three.layers of dirt, hay seed, trash, etc., sev eral Inches thick, which had beenBatnrated with water and packed down solid, qnd constituted, probably, forty or fifty per cent of the weight of the bale. Our impression is that an honest bale of hay is exceptional in the Macon market We think the average -fraud will be twenty- per cent ! 6fthe'- weight,’and we sHotildlike 't©! Bear how it is in’ other towns in Georgia. Unfortunately and fool ishly a great deal of Northern a£d ; Western/hay ’is" sold in Macon, whereas,'"W6 Should be abun dantly supplied /with, .domestic forage. We Think the brethren of the North are running false packing injto.the ground. i.y., Y Disimtcjifc*. . As aspeciriien of the clAss of news that conics to us nightly from ..the far off- places in the South, we give today a.. dispatch. from Atlanta, Georgia, Wecannot, rfatboin the mo tives of a news .organization that keeps in its employ a set of irresponsible rebel scamps whose only object is to misrepresent occurrences and send abroad ' unblushing falsehoods, with the.hope of .poisoiting;.y>oblic opinion and pre venting its just judgments.

B. B. deGraffenried, Execu tive Secretary of Gov. Bullock- From Wilcox County. Wmcox Co., May 28, 1869. Editor8 Telegraph: As you have resumed your correspondence with the planters for the ensuing season, we propose that Wilcox shall also be represented. Although “a rose bom to blush unseen," with unassuming grace she con tributes her share to the growth and prosperity of the Commonwealth. She has not yet been the recipient of a due share of the benefits ac cruing to the offspring of noble lineage, bnt as she is still in her youth, we trust that in maturi ty, the vociferous neigh of the iron horse will be no nmmni sound to her people, and the schoolmasters baton will have drilled for ns our future statesmen, and heroes, while the pulpit will be the arena around which centers onr highest hopes for future good. Spring has been wary of her charms and seems almost to have ignored her gentle quali ties, for she has coquetted with Boreas and Pluvins until the young cotton droops its abash ed head and meekly awaits the advent of the kindlier beams of a June solstice. The hardier com looks well and defies the cool winds so in jurious to its meek neighbor, while the sturdy cane -waves its long leaves to the breeze and por tends a rich yield of juice from within an im- pervious coat. Onr farmers are now industriously engaged in destroying the young grass, and as the season is propitious for the work, with due diligence it can be eradicated beyond all fear of its assum ing a mastership; but in the uncertain future does there not lurk a deadly foe, to blast the hopes of the poor planter? The caterpillar, which has already appeared in some sections of the country, may, in a few hours, spread abroad ruin and devastation. We have heard of more than one planter who is almost persuaded to re treat from the field at the prospect, bnt we say to all such—advance, attack the enemy in foil force and rout him from his position; for in the language of a Divine writer, “hethatobserveth the wind shall not sow, and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.” “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand; for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.” Should the ravages of this worm become general, it behooves ns to accept the scourge as a Providential punishment to our people for their blind persistence in the cultivation of cotton, to the exclusion of bread- stuffs. We sincerely trust, however, that our good farmers may be spared this fatal dispensa tion and reap a rich return for the unusual out lay in fertilizers. The freedmen in this county, remote from towns, work admirably. A distressing homicide occurred in the little village of Abbeville, on the 20th inst. Both par ties were the subjects of King Alcohol, and com mitted a crime at which they would have revolt ed, under the reign of reason. The poor victim, after suffering several days, has gone to his trial before the great tribunal of the King of Kings, while the perpetrator is a miserable wanderer and fugitive from justice. Very Respectfully, W. A. J. From Lowndes County, Valdosta, May 29, I860. Editors Telegraph: I find this a flourishing village of about fifteen hundred inhabitants— citizens generally kind, social and hospitable. They have two of the best schools in the State with eighty scholars each. The scholars are sent here from four or five counties around and some from Savannah. : .The South Georgia Times, edited by Major P. G. Pendleton, I am glad to find flourishing.

Liverpool, May 31.—Motley received, to-day, ad dresses of welcome from the Liverpool and Ameri can Chambers of Commerce and proceeded to London. Caught at Last.—Tho notorious negro thief and escaped convict, Bob Wagner, was caught on Sun day evening last at Goodall’s plantation, about eleven miles from this city, on the Houston Road, and arrived heie yesterday morning, abont eight o'clock, bound and in charge of his captors. It was soon known all through the city that Bob had been caught and was at the City Hall, and hundreds flocked thither to see a negro who has been the terror of both whites and blacks in this community for several months past. The negroes seemed to enjoy his capture more than the whites, and in fact the vast crowd which assembled at the City Hall was composed almost altogether of the colored population. Bob was captured by Mr. R. T. Avant. who lives at Seago’s Station, assisted by three of his colored laborers—Calvin Dann, Jim Wilson and Jordan Wright These three men knew Bob, personally, and desired his arrest, as Bob never made any dis tinction of color in perpetrating rascality. So they told Mr. Avant where Bob was, and the four went to the cabin where they had seen him; bnt he had gone to another cabin, and Mr. A., aware of Bob’s desperate character, Bent two of the above named men in advance to discover him, and see if he was armed and induce him to como out of the cabin. They succeeded in finding him and proposed to go to the mill pond and take a bathing. Bob consented and his trappers led him along to where Mr. Avant was, who seized him by the shirt sleeve and asked Bob who he was and what he was doing there. Bob replied that his name was John Johnson, and that he was working on Goodall’s plantation. Mr. Avant told him that he lied and must go to town, and the captors seized and bound him, and guarding him over night, brought him in as above stated. We visited Bob, in his cell, an hour or two after his imprisonment, to hear what he had to say, and see the scamp abont whom we have written eo much. : He is a man about five feetsix inches high, heavy set and will weigh one hundred and sixty pounds. He is twenty-seven years old, very black, round bushy bead,- high cheek bones, and one of his upper front teeth is gone. His voice is rather Bubdued and weak for a man of his appearance, and in every lineament of the face yon can, detect the thief, whilst the lips and chin give some marks of courage and resolution. He acknowledges some of the rascality which he is charged with in this community, but he says that much has-been charged’to him that he is not re sponsible for; that lie has stolen nothing-since Capt. Simpson shot Mm, some months ago, and that he had quit M3 evil companions, and bad gone off where he'thought ho was out of danger, to work for a living; that he has not been abont Macon since. he wa£ shot; and that the theft perpetrated last week at Capt. Lloyd's place,'.was' by the negro Wyley. He says he suffered a grealdeal from. the. wound in Ms arm, and it now shows where numer ous abscesses formed, and the ball qah be distinctly felt, on the inside of the arm just above the wrist. : Bob’s history is too well known to the community to review it;'and we dismiss him with the statement that, he will be held here two or three days, for cer tain reasons, before he is returned to the peniten tiary. - - .' y.’tr fb.TfU •• iwii'S.!/ Ah to! Ms Captors, we have only to say that they deserve and have the thanks of the whole commun ity.' : the three colored men who identified. Bob and assisted in arresting Mm, should be,liberally re warded. .Mr. Avant says they Ore honest,-faithful laborers, and acted in good faith and like honest men in the whole - transaction, and we hope the city' or county authoritiess will reward them accordingly. Mayor’s Court.—Six cases-were on docket for trial in this court yesterday, morning, and there wa3 la large attendance of outsiders, in addition to.ihose who had to face the frowns of violated law. ; The first case was against Luther Bell, a -negro, for stealing a pair of shoes from the store of R.

W. Hunt & CO. Firemen's Parade.In honor of the visit of the Oglethorpe Fire Company and the Screven Hose Company, of Savannah, yesterday was made a gala day in this city. Both companies arrived on the Savannah morning train abont 7 o’clock and were received at the passenger shed by delegations from each of the fire companies of this city—CoL Thos. Hardeman, jr., delivering the reception address, which wasMghly felicitous and in Ms usual eloquent and graceful manner. He was responded to by Mr. R. Wayne Russell in the following happy and grace ful address, which elicited the heartiest applause from all who beard it: Gentlemen of the Macon Fire Department : It affords me sincere pleasure, as a representative of the Oglethorpe Fire Company, of Savannah, Ga., to respond in their behalf to the kind sentiments your chosen speaker has so beautifully expressed. They are sentiments, gentlemen, wMch go direct to the heart, and at once dispel that unpleasant stiffnees wMch so often embarrasses the interchange of or dinary civilities. Coming into your midst as strang ers from a distant city, we bad no right to expect more than that formal though pleasing politeness wMch visitors usually receive; but the genuine hospitality for wMch your fair city and her good people are so justly famed, has already embraced ns in its open arms and taught us to feel that we stand upon familiar ground, and that the beaming and welcoming countenances we see around us belong not to strangers, but to friends. We have come to visit you, gentlemen, not from an idle curiosity; not to promote our own pleasure merely, bnt by an amicable contact with your own eflicient organization, to brace and improve our selves for renewed usefuMess and more earnest efforts in performing tho noble and generous duties of our common mission. Above all, we have come to unite the sea-hoard with the hills; to multiply mutual kindnesses and friendships from centre to cir cumference of our good old State. We wish, so far as we can, to nerve, with the mighty force of mu tual confidence and esteem, those great arteries of trade wMch binds us together, and to fill the deep channels of our commerce with a generous sym pathy wMch shall ever flow backwards and forwards, from the centre to the sea. Then will onr good old State rise like a giant wakened from Ms slum ber, and the bare trunk stripped of its verdure through the calamities of war will again become in stinct with its native sap, and blossom anew with hope and strength and beauty. Again, gentlemen, we thank you for your frank and generous welcome; and to the kind bands so cordially offered, we extend onr our own, with our hearts in them. The visiting companies were then escorted to their quarters at the different hotels in tho city—a few seeking the homes of familiar friends and ac quaintances in the city. The most of the day was spent by the visitors in seeking rest; but not a few were on band at Huff’s Rink during the day, whilst others were rambling through the city, visiting our beautiful Bose Hill Cemetery and other places of pleasant resort. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the Macon Fire De partment, and their visitors, assembled at the City Hall, and, forming line, marched through several streets to Mulberry, on wMch they formed line and a trial of the steam engines was had. And here the scene was repeated wMch we all witnessed on the 15th of April last. The balconies, windows and house-tops, on each side of the street, were literally thronged with ladies and gentlemen, girls and hoys, all anxious spectators of the proceedings within the lines. ' The “John W. Anderson,” steamer of the Ogle- thorpes, of Savannah, was the first to take position at the cistern. From a want of proper fuel she was nearly two hours in preparing for a trial of her ca pacities, bnt when she announced her readiness to play, by a whistle, she did some first-rate work and did it well—throwing water 232 feet inches. Though rather long in getting ready, she neverthe less retired from the field the victor and amid the heartiest cheers. The C. A. Nutting, of Protection, No. 1, next took her position at the cistern, but it was nearly dark when she did so, and after a few moments’ play t during wMch she threw a stream of 200 feet, 8% inches, she fell into line with her visitor and march ed home, the vast andience and the other engines having proceeded to their homes sometime before. And thus closed the day yesterday. OFFCERS OF THE OGLETHORPE EIRE COTTPANT. Phillip M. Russell, President. A. E. Delane, First Foreman. Julius Auxmann, Second Foreman. Isaac S. Cohen, Third Foreman.

Marion .Tidwell, First Foreman. Alonzo Michler, Second Foreman. 0. B. Johnson, Third Foreman. Wm. Searcy, Treasurer. Anthony Strocse, Secretary. And forty visittog members. We ought- to say that the “John W. Anderson,” in the line of procession, was beautifuRy decorated with wreaths and flowere, and amid them were seated two neatly dressed and sweet little girls, which made her the object of attraction and admira tion along her line of march. The Screven also turned out a very beantiful hose carriage, which was universally admired as one of the most handsome things of the kind ever seen on our streets. Both companies are composed of fine looking, well-bred and intelligent gentlemen, and we shall test their social qualities at a pic-nic to-day, at Rus sell's Brewery; after wMch we may have something more to say in to-morrow's paper. Pio-Nic on Saturday.—The Croquet Club pio-nic on Saturday was one of the pleasantest, we are in formed, of the season. It came off in the grove, just this side of the Cemetery, and from an early hour in the morning until nightfall the belles and beaux of Macon had a delightful time. We have received a communication on the subject from one of the gallants present, and regret that we have not the space to spare this morning in publishing it. Suffice it to say that all returned to their homes happy in the associations and sports of tho day and gratified that nothing had occurred to mar its pleasures. A Pure and Reliable Wine.—L. W. Hunt & Co., on Cherry street, have for sale a dozen or so cases of pure Scuppernong Wine from the vinyard of Mr. C. W. Garrett, of Halifax county, N. O. TMs wine was made in the most careful manner by a German wbo has had great experience in the old country, and is pronounced by the best judges to be superior to any which has yet been made. It is entirely free from alcohol or other addition. Solomon had seen such wine when he wrote, “Give strong drink to Mm who is ready to perish, bnt wine to him who is heavy of heart." To the sick this wine is recom mended as being the perfectly pure juice of the scuppernong grape. Christ Church Parish We are informed that Mr. J. G. Deitz, of the firm of J. W. Burke & Co., has been elected a member of the Vestry of Christ Church Parish. The Vestry, as now organized, consists of the following gentlemen: James JIercer Green, Senior Warden. Lewis N. Whittle, Junior Warden. John L. Jones, ) J. M. Boardman, I O. B. Cole, j-Vestrymen. W. B. Johnston, I John G. Deuz. J Soda Water.—“How nice and cool,” is the ex pression coming from the lips of every one who has drank of that Ice Cream Soda Fountain of J. H. Zeilin & Co. All of the choice syrnps are to be found there, made from the fruits, and you are sure of being satisfied. mElilHHlBUuilHlKfcj Ames’ Circus and Menagerie.—The following correspondence speaks for itself; but we must put in a word, too, which is, that CoL Ames has now a splendid combination of stars in the ring aad an* mala in Ms cages, whilst the band of musicians is one of the best we have ever heard in the city. Without disparagement to others of Ms fine corps of artists and artistes, we must make special men tion of- M’dle Amelia as a rider and tight-rope walker. ' In' either Bhe is well worth the price of ad mission. But to : the. correspondence: Macon, Ga., May 31st, 1869. To the Prcsideiit and,Foreman of Oglethorpe Fire Company.

Huff’s Rink.—This popular place of amusement and exercise was crowded yesterday afternoon, and the4adies’ apartments were scarcley large enough to accommodate them. The eport was very fine, indeed, and we believe the time in wMch Messrs. Hulburt and McLendon made the mile yesterday was the fastest on record —3 minutes and 53 seconds. Mr. Dasher made the circuit (185 yards) in 20 seconds. There are now eighteen velocipedes at this rink and when they are all running at the same time the scene is as lively as one would care to see. We understand that Huff will give the “Savannah boys” a couple of honrs, some time during to-mor row, to test their skill on the velocipede with the •‘Macon boys,” and this, with the circus, will make the ring exercises of the day—to use an expressive word—^bully! Freights from St. Louis to Macon.—On the 10th inst., a new and reduced freight tariff of the “Green Line” went into operation. Bacon is now brought from St. Louis to tMs city at 97 cents per one hun dred pounds. Flour at $1 55 per barrel, and com at 32 cents per bushel. Da. Banning will be at the Byington Hotel nntil Saturday evening, the 6th. Warren, Trumbull County, OMo, Jan. 15,1859. E. P. Banning, M. D.—For ten years I have been confined to my bed with spinal curvature, fall ing of tla» womb, incontinence of urine, terrible constipation, and extreme indigestion, emaciated, and loss of taste. For seven years I was unable to bold a pen, and at no hour of tMs time was I kept from attracting the attention of paBsers by constant moans, without morphine. Bnt I am re stored to both strength and health, by your simple abdominal and spinal brace. People come mileB to be “certain” that the miracle really has been per formed. Could weak ladies know half of what your Brace has done for me, they would hasten to possess it. Ever gratefully, yours, &c., Abbie Potter. From the Forthern Independent, Auburn, -V. F] Mr. Editor: * * * * Dr. Banning, of 11 St. Mark’s Place, New York, has invented si Brace for supporting the abdomen, bracing the back, throwing back the shoulders and expanding the chest. * * * * My wife, who had for five years been helpless from female and spinal weak ness. ou applying tMs Brace, immediately arose, and has ever since attended to her household affairs with ease. She is, of course, very enthusiastic, and desires all her female friends to make trial of the Brace also; and for this reason I have written thus, without the knowledge of Dr. Banning, whom I have not even the pleasure of knowing personally. Rev. JOHN A WELLS. Brockport, N. Y. From Rev. J. IF. Wiley, D. D. President of Pen nington Collegiate Seminary: Pennington, N. J., January 16,1864. I have worn Dr. E. P. Banning’s Brace for several months, on account of adominal weakness, admit ting of a drooping of the internal organs, and have found much benefit from it. It is especially a relief and support in public speaking, and in this respect I have derived so much comfort from it, that I now deem it indispensable to preachers and pnblic speakers who are laboring under abdominal weak ness, or a loss of expulsive force in speaking. To all such I cordially recommend this instrument. J. W. WILEY. Millville, N. J., December 20,1863. Dear Sir: I have worn your Brace fourteen months, and am a rescued man. Seven years of constipation, piles, nervous derangement, and gen eral debility are forgotten as a dream. I owe my life to your Brace. No money would induce me to part with it. God surely sent you to me in my ut ter extremity. May He send you everywhere, the apostle of humanity and health. Yours gratefully, N. McCONAUGHY, Pastor Presbyterian Church, Millvfile, N. J. E. P. Banning, M. D. Youngbtown, Mahoning, Co., O., Nov. 15,1857. Dr. Banning : My wife, who was for four years the subject of paralysis, of one leg and arm, and of great Uterine trouble, never being able to sit up or to allow her feet to hang down, is most strangely restored to health, and the free use of her limbs, by the simple application of your Brace, and this, after all doctors and remedies had left nB forlorn; And when I see that the result has been as philo- sopMcal as it is grand, I yearn to get your work on Meehanical Support into the hands of every family, and your hrace upon their weak or deformed bodies. Ever your obedient servant, etc., ROBERT MONTGOMERY. Horace Greeley’s Advice to the Radi cals ol West Virginia. New York Tribune, > New York, November 18, 1868.) My Dear Sir—I have yours of the 16th. Its leading positions have long been understood and appreciated in this quarter. Now bear me. Every year one thousand of yoflb rebels die, and one thousand (or more) of their sons become of age. Yon can’t disfranchise them. Yon have now five thousand majority. Six years at furthest will convert this into a rebel majority of one thousand. Then the rebels will be en franchised in spite of you, and the blacks will be left under foot—and yon under estimate these at two thousand. Go your own way, and see if the rebels don’t have you under foot in less than six years. I speak from a wide experience when I tell yon .that your house is built on the sand. It candot stand. Every year will see the passions of the war cool and the demand for amnesty " strengthened. Now yon can amnesty the rebels. Soon the question will be, shall they amnesty you ? Look, at Kentucky and Maryland, and read your certain fate in theirs. Yours, Horace Greeley. lo the Editor of the Wheeling Intelligencer.
