t
Siioa's Coitbt.—Wo don’t know whether thepro-
sriiBgsinthis Court are, like almost everything
regnlited by the cotton market or not. It ap-
l«». however, that such is the case, as they have
«E unusually active since the rush of the now col
t's crop to market set in. For the last two morn-
| zsf the docket in this Court has been very heavy,
i» attendance good and the proceedings lively.
Ihe fret case called yesterday was one under the
bnd of fighting against two female “ward3 of the
atjon." named Ann Alexander and Ann Adair. It
ns continued, in the absence of an important wit-
m
The next was a case of obtaining money under
Xte pretences, against a negro named Willis West.
H»*a» overhauled, plying hia vocation, by officers
Pridgen and Wood. The evidence was dead against
TOs, and he was remanded for a warrant.
Wylie Williams was then brought up standing for
resisting an officer, and after cashing a little bill of
See dollars in the chape of a fine, he quietly re
ared
licet Brown, a suspicions character and “dead
!«t." was ordered on the streets for thirty days,
*r obtaining money and other articles from several
oitiani mulct false pretences and representations.
He registered at the Brown House on the 11th Bret.,
tad then started ont in the city to look up the mem-
ire ot a certain secret and benevolent organization,
tad represented himself first from the Barnwell
District of South Carolina, and then from Sanndere-
rlie, Georgia, and pretended to he afflicted in vari
es ways and endeavoring to get home. He suc
ceeded in arocsing the sympathies of a fewgentle-
aen who generously gave him assistance; bnt his
after conduct proved him to be an imposter, and he
to arrested at the Brown House on Monday night,
rnd disposed of by the Mayor as above stated.
The last case on the docket was by long odds the
richest thing developed in this Court in a long while,
hires entered on the docket under the bead of dis
orderly conduct, and was against B. Green, and Ann
field, colored bruddar and sister in one of the col
ored churches. The case was dismissed, but the
testimony which it elicited waa altogether too heavy
lor these columns, and, in a general smile through
out the room, in which the Mayor himself joined,
Court adjourned.
Tot Sew CorET House.—Wo have bad quite a
number of inquiries put to us during the last month
u to why ihe work is not commenced, and what are
the Building Committee doing? It is generally under
stood that the plan of the new building was submit
ted to the Committee and was accepted some time
sgo.endtho delay in entering upon the work of
construction is as mysterious to the public as it is
iaportsnt to the interests of the city and county.
We confess tbit wo do not understand what is going
on in regard to the matter, and several intelligent
gentlemen of the city with whom we have conversed
*re in the same dilemma. The gentlemen on the
building Committee have, doubtless, good reasons
lor their present apparent apathy, but the public
would be pleased, if consistent with the public weal,
to know what those reasons are.
Soiomos s Bitters appear to have eo many vir
uses that the manufacturers are scarcely ablo to
leep up with the demand. They have a number of
psreons employed in the various departments for
its preparation and every arrangement in the place
of manufacture, a store of four stories is complete.
But the demand was far ahead of their arrange-
asnt* and they anxiously await many Improve
ments which Mr. A. A. Solomon is shipping from
Sow York.
People with all kinds of ailments drink it and find
c the th ing they wish to revive drooping energies
ltd spirits and make them feel yonng again. The
lemand in Savannah is very heavy. The ladies say
it is a fine antidote for whisky drinking. Them bus-
lands after trying the bitters find it so wholesome
*ad its contents so pure that they quit whisky alto
gether. We obsorve many callers for the sample
botile, and it is kept pretty well drained, From the
ippearance of some of the gentler sex trying it, wa
*ere satisfied they were using it a3 an antidote. If
the local demand increases much more, interior peo
ple may not get a chance at it at all.
That's the way for Souther manufacturers to do—
make something that every body likes end all your
friends can rejoice at yonr prosperity.
Isitxctioss—Wo have heard much and had much
lo say. recently, about injunctions. Nearly every
nilroad company in Georgia, to say nothing of thoir
itockhoidera, have indulged in tho luxury liberally
ft* present year; bnt there are a good many quiet,
plain people, particularly among tho colored popula
tion, who are wholly ignorant of what an injunction
is. To enlighten this latter class, the following dia
logue is clipped from an exchange: •

preparation is one of its chief merits. It is not
merely a stimulant, or a tonic, or an anti-bilious
agent, or a nervine,or ablooddepnrent, ora catb&r-
t'c,bnt all these enrative elements judiciously blend-
•1 in one powerful restorative. It lends activity
and vigor to the inert and enervated stomach, re
lieves tho alimentary canal of its obstructions, and
gives tone to the membrane whiich lines it, gently
stimulates the liver, braces the nerves, and cheers
the animal spirits. No other remedy possesses such
a variety of hygienic virtues. It is to these charac
teristics that it owes it prestige as a household medi
cine. Experience has proved that it is as harmless
as it is efficacious, and hence it is as popular with
the weaker sex as with the stronger.

CHOLERA-HOW TO CUBE IT.
At the commencement of the diarrhoea, which al
ways precedes an attack of the cholera, take a tea-
spoonfnl of the Pain Killer in sugar and water, (hot
if convenient,) and then bathe freely the stomach
and bowels with the Fain Killer clear. Tbonldtbe
diarrhoea or cramps continue, repeat the dose every
fifteen or twenty minutes till the patient is relieved.
In extreme cases two or more teaspoonfnls may be
given at a dose.
The Fain Killer, as an internal remedy, has no
equal. In cases of summer complaint, dpspepeia,
dysentery, astnma, it cores in one night, by taking
it internally and bathing with it freely. Its action
is like magic when externally applied to bad sores,
bnrns, scalds and sprains. For tooth-ache don’t
fail to try it. In short it is a Pain Killer.

Affections ofthe %!ood. Liver and Kidneys.
Recommended by the Medical Faculty and
many thousands of our best citizens. Read
the testimony of Physicians and patients
who have used Rosadalis; send for our
Rosadalia Guide to Health Book, or Alma
nac far this year, which we publish for
gratuitous distribution: it will give you
much valuable information:
Dr. R. W, Carr, of Baltimore, says—I
take pleasure in recommending your Kosa-
dalis ns a very powerful alterative. I have
seen it used in two cases with happy results:
one in a case of secondary syphilis, in
which the patient pronounced himself
cured alter having taken five bottles of
your medicine. The other is a case of
scrofula of long standing, which is rapidly
improvingunder its use, and tho indica
tions are that the patient will soon recover.
I have carefully examined the formula
by which your Rosadalis is made, and find
it an excellent compound of alterative in
gredients.
Dr. Sparks, ofNichoIasville, Ky.. says he
has used Rosadalis in eases of Scrofula and
Secondary Fyphili3 with satisfactory re
sults—as a cleaner of the Blood I know no
better remedy.
Samuel G. McFadden, of Murfreesboro,
Tenn., says:
I have used seven bottles of Rosadalis,
and am entirely cured of Rheumatism;
send me four bottles, as I wish it for m
brother, who has Scrofulous Sore Eyes.
Beniamin Becbto], of Lima, Ohio, writes;
I have suffered for twenty years with an
inveterate eruption over my whoiebody;*
short time since I purchased a bottle of
Rosadalis and it effected a perfect cure.

plicity of construct! on. and ease withwhirh itcan be operated by either hand, horee, water or steam power,
tho change from one to the other being effected in a tew minutes. A great advantage this PrcM possesses, la
that it occupies for hand power only a space of icurteen feet square, and may be placed and operated in the
Gin House, thus avoiding the necessity of taking cotton out of be house to be packed. It can be used in any
kind of weather; the Press being in the house, rainy days a*eno obstacle to packing, as tne case witn
wooden screws. Another advantage i?, when you get Schofield's Press, you have a Press for all time, and one
not liable to decay or breakage, as is the ca*e wich the old wooden screws, and most other iron screws ana
presses. This is evident from the fact that the screw is iron, either wrought or cast, and the frames *re of
wrought iron, and no part of the Press liable to decay touches the ground. The frames may be made ox
wood, at the option of the planter. Planters may purchase either the screw and nut alone, and put the frame
and box of wood to it themselves, or may purchase the screw, nut and iron frames, and put tne wooden box
do well to call, if possible, and examine mine; or if they should favor me with their order, they may.rely
