Wradeil Fljillipt ca the War.
“The telegraph is said lo report to-^
niprlit, that the <rmis are firing either out
Fort Sumter or into it—that to-morrow^
breeze when it sweeps from the. South wi
bring to us the echo of the first Lexing
ton battle of the new revolution. Well,
what shall we say of such an hour 1 My
ows feeling is a doable one. It is like
the triumph of sadness—rejoicing and sor
row. I cannot indeed congratulate you
enough on the sublime spectacle of twenty
millions of people educated in a twelve
month up to being willing that tbeir idol
ized Union should risk a battle, should
risk dissolution in order at any risk to put
down this rebellion of slave states.
But I am sorry that a gun should be
fired at Fort Sumter, or that a gun should
be fired from it, for this reason. The ad
ministration at Washington does not know
its time. Here are a series of States gird
ing the Gulf, who think that their pecu
liar institutions require that they should
have a separate government. They have
a right to decide that question without ap
pealing to yon or me. A large body of
people, sufficient to make a nation, have
come to the conclusion that they will have
a government of a certain form. Who de-
. nies them the right ? Standing with the
principles of ’76 behind us, who can deuy
them tlie right? What is a matter of a
few millions of dollars or a few forts? It
is a mere drop in the bucket of tlie great
uatioual question. It is theirs, just as
much as ours. 1 maintain ou the princi
ples of’76 that Abraham Lincoln has no
right to a soldier in Fort Sumter.
But the question comes secondly.
“Suppose we had a right to interfere,
what is the good of it ? You may punish
South Carolina forgoing out of the Union.
That does r.ot bring her in. You may
subdue her by hundreds of thousands of
armies, lmt that does not make her a
State. There is no longer a Union. It
is nothing but boys’ play. Mr. Jefferson
]>avis is angry, and Mr. Abraham Lincoln
is mad, and they agree to fight. One,
two, or three years hence, if the news of
the afternoon is correct, wc shall have gone
through a war, spent millions, required
the death of a hundred thousand men, and
be exactly then where we are now—two
nations ; a little more angry, r. little poor
er, and a great deal wiser. and that will
be the only difference. We may just as
well settle it now as then.
You cannot go through Massachusetts
and recruit men to bombard Charleston
and New Orleans. The Northern mind
will not bear it. You can never make
such a war popular. The first onset may
be borne. Tlie telegraph may bring us
news that Anderson has bombarded
Charleston, and you may rejoice. But
the sober second thought of Massachu
setts will bo, “Wasteful, unchristian,
guilty !” The North never will endorse
such a war. Instead of conquering Charles
ton, you create a Charleston in New Eng
land. You stir up sympathy for the
South.
Therefore it seems to me that the inau
guration of war is not only a violation of
principle, but it is a violation of expedi
ency.
To be, for disunion in Boston is to be an
Abolitionst. To be against disunion is to
be an Abolitionist to-day in the streets of
Cliarle-ton. Now that very state of things
shows that the civilization of the two cities
is utterly antagonistic. What is the
use of trying to join them ? Is Abraham
Lincoln capable of making fire and powder
lie down together in peace ? If lie can,
let him send his army to Fort Sumter and
, occupy it.
But understand me, I believe in the
Union exactly as yon do in the future.
This is my proposition : “Go out, gcu-
’tlerneu ; you are welcome to your empire;
take it.” Let them try the experiment of
cheating with one hand and idleness with
the other. I-know that God Las written
“Bankruptcy” over such an experiment.
If you cannonade South Carolina, you
cannouade her into the sympathy of the
world. 1 do not know note but what a
majority there is ou my side ; but I know
this that if the telegraph speaks true to
night, that the gnus are echoing around
Fort Sumter; that a majority is against
us, for it will convert every man into a
secessionist. Besides, there is another
fearful clement in the problem. There is
another terrible consideration. We can
then no longer extend to the black race
at the South our best sympathy and our
best aid.
We stand to-uight at the beginning of
an epoch which may have the peace or
the ruin of a generation in its bosom. In
augurate war, we know not where it will
end. We are in no condition to fight.
The South are poor, and we are rich. The
poor man can do twice the injury to the
rich man that the rich man can do to the
poor. Your wealth rides safely ou tlie
bosom of the oceau. All New England
has its millions alloat. The North whitens
every sea with its wealth. The South lias
no commerce, but she can buy the priva
teers of every race to prey on yours. It
is a dangerous strife when wealth quarrels
with poverty.
Driven to despair, the Southern States
may be poor and bankrupt; but the poor
est man can be a pirate, and as long as New
England’s tonnage is a third of that of the
civilized world, the South can punish
New England more thau New England
can punish her. Wo provoke a strife in
which we are defeuceless. If. on the
contrary, we hold ourselves to the strife of
ideas, if w o manifest that strength which
despises insult and bides its hour, we are
sure to conquer in the end.
1 distrust thoso guns at Fort Sumter. I
do not believe that Abraliam Lincoln
means war. I do not believe in the mad
ness of the Cabinet. Nothing but madness
can provoke war with the Gulf States.
My suspicion is this: that the Adminis
tration dares not compromise. It trem
bles before the five hundred thousand
readers of the New York Tribune.
But there is a safe way to compromise
It is this: seem to provoke war, cannou
ade the forts. What will be the final re- .
suit? New York commerce is pale with
bankruptcy. The affrighted seaboard secs
grass growing in its streets. It will start
up every man whose livelihood hangs up
on trade, intensifying him into a compro
miser. Those guns fired at Fort Sumter
are only to frighten the North into a com
promise.

though the sinewy sex achieves enterpri
ses on public theatres, it is the nerve and
sensibility of the other that arm the mind
and inflame the soul in secret. “A man
discovered America, but a woman equip

executes the performance, but woman
trains the man. Every effectual person,
leaving his mark on the world, is but an

A Kirh Mion •
Some time since, when Jackson county
was in its infancy, and the natives were
governed by laws by them enacted and
enforce at will, there was a character
among them known as fiddling Joe. This
man Joe was a character not at all known
among the “cane biters” as being devoid
of fear, particularly upon the subject ot
future punishment, being the offspring of
rough though Christian parents.
The Methodist Church, with its usual
care for those who arc unable or unwilling
to employ ministers or purchase I3ihies for
the dissemination of Christian truths
among them, sent a missionary to furnish
the inhabitants widi Bibles and preach the
Gospel for tlieir benefit.
On a bright Sabbath morning, in the
pleasant month of May, the minister in
passing from one .appointment to another,
came upon the aforesaid Joe, sitting astride
a log, playing a favorite tune of “Soap
•Suds Over tlie Fence,” to his entire satis
faction and that of “Old Ring,” who wag
ged his tail in appreciation of his master’s
endeavors. The minister approached and
quietly addressed the fiddler:
“.My friend, are you not aware that you
are doing wrong—that you are violating
the teachings of the Bible by playing Tour
fiddle to-day?”
“Well, I dun’no,” says Joe.
“Then let me inform you, my friend,
that you will be called to account for this
violation of the ordinance of the Bible at
the day of judgment.”
Joe (excitedly.)—Hold on there, parson,
you have hit on the very thing I want to
a^k you about. I want to know, is there
but one day of Judgment?
“No, my friend, there is to be but one
day when all men are to be judged accord
ing to the deeds done in the body.”
Joe (resuming his favorite pastime.)—
Well, old Loss, you can pass on. 1 am
safe enough if there ’aint but one day of
judgment, for there’s an old cock-eyed
Judge, for the country Court in these
parts, who has the brown critters, and will
die just afore me, and I’m ready to swear
his case will take up that day, sure.
The parson, of course, passed on.
shed, it is a trick; nothing else. It is the
inaterly cunning of that devil of compro
mise, the Secretary of State. He is not
mad enough to let these States rush into
battle. He knows that the age of bullets
is over. If a gun is fired in Southern
waters, it is fired at the wharves of New
York, at the bank vaults of Boston, at the
money of the North. It is meant to alarm.
It is'policv, not sincerity. It means con
cession, and in twelve months you will see
this Union reconstructed with a Constitu
tion line that of Montgomery*
New England may indeed never be co
erced into a slave confederacy. But when
the battles of Abraham Lincoln are -.aided,
and compromises worse than Crittenden’s
are adopted, New England may claim the
right to secede. And as sure as a gun is
fired to-night at Fort Sumter, within three
years from to-day you will see these thirty
States gathered under a Constitution twice
as damnable as that of 1787. The only
To the Democracy of Maine.
At length your worst fears are realized.
Civil war rages in America. That glori
ous Union which has hitherto been your
pride and boast, is laid in the dust.
'Throughout the broad land of the fair
South, the rising sun is no longer welcom
ed with the cheerful song of the husband
man wending liis way to the toil of liis
peaceful field, but is greeted with the
drum-beat that summons to arms the gath
ering hosts of war. From Carolina to the
Rio Grande all is commotion and hasty
preparation for a geueral conflict of arms.
There, to-day, are no peaceful, happy and
quiet homes, for the invader is on their
soil, and the government which was crea
ted to protect and defend them, has ruth
lessly turned its gnns against its alters and
firesides. Gray-hcaded fathers, stout
hearted husbands and fair-faced youths;
are taking a tearful adieu of their wives,
their children, their mothers and their sis
ters, and buckling on their armor, and has
tening away to battle-fields from which
many, many may never return to gladden
their homes again. This, reader, is no
fanciful picture: it is a stern reality;* To
morrow, in thousands of homes, wives, mo
thers, daughters and Tittle children will
gather in mournful silence around the fam
ily board no longer cheered by the pres
ence of their natural guardians and protec
tors.
Why is all this? It is because that old
Tory party, which under a multitude of
names and disguises, first resisted the in
dependence of America, and after its Gov
ernment had become an established fact,
bas been unceasing in its efforts to get pos
session of it, and after having gained pos
session of it, by hypocritically assuming
the sacred garb of freedom, it has under
taken to convert that Government into an
instrument of tyranny, and to use all its
powers to overturn the very bulwarks of
liberty itself—the sovereignty of the
States. Yes, Abraham Lincoln, a Tory
from his birth, is putting forth all the pow
ers of Government to crush the spirit of
American liberty. Surrounded by gleam
ing swords and glistening bayonets at
Washington, he sends forth fleets and ar
inies to overawe and subdue that gallant
little State which was the first to raise its
voice and arm against British oppression.

the South have gathered around Charles

Yesterday (Sunday) our city presented
an unusual sight, from the number of uni
formed soldiers in our midst. The day of
peace aud rest—the holy Sabbath—was
distinguished by the tramp of armed men
and the music of the drum and fife.—
These demonstrations, now that war is
upon us, may often characterize our future
Sabbaths.
The six o’clock Waynesboro train ot
yesterday morning, brought, to this city
three military companies cm route for Nor
folk, Ya. They were the Macon Volun
teers, Capt. R. A. Smith; Floyd Rifles,
(Japt. Thomas. Hardeman; and Columbus
Light Guards, Capt. P. H. Colquitt.
'They were received at the depot by
the Clinch Rifles, Capt. Platt, and the
Richmond Hussars, Capt. Stovall, which
companies -escorted them to the South
Carolina depot, where they deposited their
arms and then marched to their quarters.—
The Macon Volunteers were quartered at
the Planter's, the Floyd Rifles at the
Globe and Southern States, and Columbus
Light Guards at the Augusta. Our hotel
keepers fully sustained tlieir reputation
foreourtesv and attention to the wants of
tlieir guests. Great praise should be ac
corded them for their substantial aid and
comfort to our friends.
At nearly all our churches yesterday,
A. M., the novel sight was presented of
men clad in soldier habiliments, sitting
among the congregation, or occupying the
pulpit.
At. St. James M. E. Church, Rev. T.
11. Jordan, former pastor of that Church,
now Chaplain of the Columbus Light
Guards, preached a most impressive and
eloquent sermon to a large concourse, who
were evidently impressed with the words
of wisdom which fell from liis lips. In the
pulpit with him was another minister, tlie
Rev. - Mr. Treadwell. Both ridgy men
were in uniform.
In this connection wc would state, that
Rev Mr. Cook, the present esteemed pas
tor of St. James, has a brother and two
brothers-in-law in the ranks of the Macon
Volunteers.
The Columbus Light Guards visited the
First Baptist Church. At the close of the
regular service, the pastor. Rev. Mr. Hun
tington, addressed the soldiers for a few
moments, in a solemn and impressivetnan-
ner. The incident was one of peculiar
interest.
The three companies took the ears on
the South Carolina Railroad yesterday at
3 o’clock, P. M. A large number of our
citizens were there to bid them Good-
speed. Joseph Ganahl, Esq., of this city,
addressed them in some eloquent and feel
ing remarks, to which Capt. Hardeman
responded in appropriate terms. Among
tlio spectators were many of the Augusta
ladies, who, with smiles and generous TTor.Tt
favors, gladdened the hearts of the soldiery.
Amid the cheers of the multitude, the
booming of cannon, and waving of hats
and handkerchiefs, these gallant men sped
on tlieir way to the old Dominion.
At 6 o’clock last evening, the Spalding
Grays, commanded by Capt. L. T- Doy-
al, arrived in the city by the Waynesboro
Road. They were received by the Clinch
Rifles. Richmond Hussars, and Irish Vol
unteers, and marched to the Clinch-Drill
Room, where tlieir arms were deposited.
They were then escorted to tlieir quarters
for the night—the. Globe Hotel. This com.
pany is also bound for Norfolk. A neat
address was made them at the Globe by
Ensign Ells, of the Clinch Rifles, to
which Capt. Doyal responded.
In this tine corps is Private Garret Rice,
whose head is silvered with age, he being
now 66 years old. He has two sons, also
in the ranks with him. Mr. Rice made a
speech at the Globe last evening, wc un
derstand, which was replete with patriot
ism and fervor. All honor*to the “old
man eloquent” and liis hardy boys !
Our friend Mull ark ey, of the GJobe, took
good care of the Grays during tlieir stay
withhim, as was to be expected.
At S o’clock this morning, under the es
cort of the Clinch Rifles, the Spalding
Grays marched to the Carolina Depot. A.
great many of our citizens were oi course
on hand to see them off; and the ladies,
who were present in goodly numbers, dis
tributed flowers to the men by the scores
—throwing them into the windows of the
cars, or banding them gracefully to the
stalwart arms eagerly outstretched for
them. At the appointed time the train
moved off—the cannon thundered its
adieus, and cheer after cheer rent the air.
United action in defence of the sover
eignty of North Carolina, and of the rights
of the South, becomes now the duty ot
all.
Given under my hand, and attested by tlie
Great Seal ofthc State. Done at the
city ofRaleigb, the 17th day of April,
A. D., L861, and in the eighty-fifth year
of our Independence.

Poverty a Blcssin".—The great struggle
for riches among mankind is a very mista
ken effort to acquire cither happiness or
fame. Few ehildreu born to riches ever
make a prominent mark iu the world. Al
most all great and learned men acquire
their greatness or learning through ex
treme difficulties resulting from povert
We find the following over the signature
of Timothy-Titcomb, so full of truth and
so appropriate, that we transfer it to our
columns :
If there is any thing in the world that a
young man should be more grateful for than
another, it is the poverty which necessi-
tales his starting in life under great disad
vantages. Poverty is one of the best tests
of human quality in existence. A triumph
over it is like graduating with honor from
West Point. It demonstrates stuff and
stamina. It is a certificate of worthy labor
faithfully performed. A young man w’lio
cannot stand this test is not good for any
tiling. lie can never rise above a drudge
or a pauper. A youug man who cannot
feel bis will harden as the yoke of pover
ty presses upon him, and liis pluck rise
with every difficulty that poverty throws
in liis way, may as well retire into some
coiner and hide himself. Poverty saves a
thousand times more than it ruins; for it
only ruins those who are not particularly*
worth saving, while it saves multitudes of
those whom wealth would have ruined.
If any youug man who reads this letter is
so unfortunate as to be rich. I give Linym}*
pity. I pity you my rich young friend,
because you are in danger. You lack one
great stimulus to effort and excellence,
which your poor companions possess. Ton
will be very apt, if you have a soft spot in
your head, to think yourself above them,
and that sort of thing makes you mean,
and injures you. With full pockets and
lull stomach, and good linen and broad
cloth on your back, your heart and soul
plethoric—iuthe race of life you will find
yourself surpassed by all the poor boys
around you, before you know it.
No, my boy, if you are poor, thank God
aud take courage; for he intends to give
you a chance to make something of your
self. If von had plenty of money, ten
chances to one it would spoil you for all
useful purposes. Do you lack education ?
Have you been cut short of the text books?
Remember that education, like some other
things, does not consist in the multitude of
things a man possesses. What can you
do ? That is the question that settles the
business for you. Do you know your bu
siness ? Do you know men and how to
deal with them ? Has your mind by any
means w hatsoever received that discipline
which gives to it action, power and facili
ty ? If so, then you are more a man, and
a thousand times better educated, than the
feliow who graduates from a college with
his brains full of stuff that lie cannot apply
to the practical business of life—stuff, the
acquisition ot w hich ha> been in no sense a
disciplinary process, so far as be is concern
ed. There are very few men in this world
less than thirty years of age, and unmar
ried, who cau afford to be rich. One of
the greatest benefits to be reaped from
great final disasters, is the saving of a
large crop of youug men.

It does not spread at all. Nor is the Yard

the size of a burning of a large dwelling.
Now and then it brightens up as if tar bar

Norfolk, April 21,2 A- M.—I came back
to say that the President of the Rail Road

It will be high tide, and 1 now think she
will try to tow tlie Cumberland out of tlie

Norfolk, April 21, 4.30, A. M.—I w*ake
to find the Navy Yard one universal sea of
flames, w hich, in tlieir wild leaping, lick
the very clouds with tongues of fire. The
noise of their devastation reaching dis
tinctly to us, is like the deep toned roar of
Niagara. One long continuous hoarse
grow l is filling the whole atmosphere with
angry reverberations. Tlie scene is now-
awful. I learn from a seaman on the
wharf that the Pawnee passed our city for
the Fort about fifteen minutes past four
o’clock, with the Cumberland in tow. No
opposition was offered to her departure.
After writing the above, I find the tele

A. J. Whitten, J. H. Callaway,
and others ot Murray County:
Gentlemen t Your petitiou asking me to have
the popular vole at the election for members to the
late Georgia Convention published is now betore
me. It affords me much pleasure, gentlemen, to
comply with your request. I have directed the
Secretaries ot this Department to examine the
vote carefully and to prepare a statement showing
in different columns tho highest vote polled in
each county for the candidates who voted for and
against .secession. with the vote of the highest
opposing candidate in each case.
You will observe by reference to tlie vote here
with published that the delegates to the Conven
tion who voted for the ordinance of secession were
elected by a clear popular majority in the State of
I3.I2U votes. While you were Union men you
say you will acquiesce in the will of the majotity.
This is the duty of every good citizen,and 1 doubt
nut in future you will be found among the fore
roost in the advocacy and defence of the South
ern Confederacy. You no doubt agree with me
when I say that it is exceedingly gratifying that
we no longer have party divisions in Georgia.
Gttr people are now a unit, and will rally as one
man for the protection of our rights aud the per
petnity of our liberties against every assult which
may be made upon ns by our Northern enemies
who are now making war upon us most unjustly,
wickedly and crnelly. As freemen breathing the
pure mountain air of our beloved old State, I
doubt not you will respond nobly with arms in
your hands, if necessary, to every call which may
be made upon you to contribute your part to tin*
common defence against the common enemy.
Very re-pectfully your ob'l. serv’t.,

Rebels and Traitors.—This is the com
mon cjihithet bestowed by the Lincoln
press upon the [people of the seceded
States. The same title was applied by the
British and Tories in the Revolution to
our ancestors. Even George Washington
was styled the “rebel leader, Mr. Wash
ington.” It took the “rebels” some time
to teach the Tories good manners, hut they
t succeeded at last; nor do we despair alto-
tug, whose name I do not know, hut wliic-l, * gethor of improving t!m Republican mode
was sent by Old Abe with provisions for j of speech, aud that at no distant day.
you or the fleet, putin here for coal this-George the Third never perpetrated a
morning and was seized by the Committee ! thousandth part of the wrongs against the
ciples of liberty—principles which you
have ever upheld and defended with yoar
vote, yoar voice and yonr strong right arm.
Your sympathies are with the defenders
of the truth and the right. Those who
have inaugurated this unholy and unjust
ifiable war are no friends of yours—no
Prorlnmntion of Clovernor Kllia.
Gov. Ellis. ofNorth Carolina, has issued
the following patriotic Proclamation, de
nounring the war policy of Lincoln and
convening the Legislature of that State,
at Raleigh, on the first,day of May next .*
A PROCLAMATION BY JOHN \V. ELLIS GOVB-
KRNOlt OK NORTH CAROLINA.
Whereas: By Proclamation of Abra
ham Lincoln, President of the United
States, followed by a requisition of Simon
Cameron, Secretary of war, I am informed
that the said Abraham Lincoln has made a
call for 75,000 men to be employed for tlie
invasion of the peaceful homes of the
South, and for tho violent subversion of
the liberties of a free people, constituting
a large part of the whole populat ion of tlie
late United States : And, whereas, this
high-handed act of tyrannic*! outrage is not
only in violation of all constitutional law,
in utter disregard of every sentiment of
humanity and Christian civilization, and
conceived in a spirit of aggression unpar
alleled by any act of recorded history, but
is a direct step towards the subjugation of
the whole South, and the conversion of
a free Republic, inherited from our fathers,
into a military depotism, to be established
by worse than foreign enemies ou the ruins
of our once glorious Constitution of Equal
Rights.
Now, therefore, I, John W. Ellis, Gov
ernor of the State of North Carolina, for
these extraordinary causes, do hereby issue
this, iny Proclamation, notifying aud re
questing the Senators and Members of the
Honse of Commons of the General Assem
bly of North Carolina, to meet iu Special
Session at the Capitol, in the city of Ra
leigh, on Wednesday the first day of May
next. And I furthermore exhort all good
citizens throughout the State to be mind
ful that their first allegiance is due to the
Sovereignty which protects their homes
of Safety, who will take care of both pro
visions and vessel. Other of Old Abe’s
vessels will be similarly received and fur
nished accemmodations if they are desirous
of doing good service for the Confederate
States.
Norfolk, April 20.—Onr boys captured
the naval magazine last night, with three
thousand barrels of gun powder, and vast
quantities of loaded shell and other am
munition. Most of the powder is now
half way to Richmond.
The Cumberland lies abreast, of tbe Na
vy Yard. Four hundred of her crew
swear they will not fight ns. We expect
to capture her. and then the Navy Yard is
ours, with not a man lost yet.
Norfolk, April 20.—It now appears that
Commodore Paulding, cf the Cumberland,
was the party who spiked tbe guns in the
Navy Yard two hours ago. He sent a
flag of truce to General Taliaferro, com
manding in this city.—The officer bearing
the flag has been in secret conference with
Taliaferro until a few minutes ago, when
he returned to the Cumberland, which is
still at the Navy Yard. The result of the
conference is not known. Twenty-two
sailors escaped from the Cumberland last
night to our side. As events transpire I
will inform you. Rumor says that Pauld
ing threatens to shell the city, but as yet
rumor only.
Norfolk, April 20.—The object of the
flag was to state that Paulding will not
fire on us if wc will not fire on him. This
is not official, but there is no doubt of it.
Paulding bas scuttled the Merriinac and
tbe Germantown, which vessels are now-
sinking at the wharf.
Two steamers from the north threw a
large body of troops this morning into Fort
Monroe. Four hundred Petersburg vol
unteers will be here this day at 5 P. M.
For the last hour the Cumberland has
been throwing into the river, from her own
colonies which Lincoln meditates against
the Southern Stntes. and there is no oth
er difference between the two tyrants, ex
cept that one was u gentleman aud the
other is a blackguard.—Rich. Dispatch,
The Rifled Oanuon.
The formidable rifled cannon, tbe arri
val of which has been already announced
in Charleston was, by order of Governor
Pickens, immediately mounted and taken
to tlie steamer which w*as to convey it to
its destination. It Las been placed in
proper battery, and will give a good ac
count of itself when called into action. We
take the following account of the power of
tbe above named description of cannon
from tbe Loudon Times :
Terrible Effects of' Rifled Cannon.—
Gaeta, Feb. 23.—No part of tbe whole
mass of town, fortress and hill has entirely
escaped the ravages of artillery which
thundered at it from the land sidl. Where
the canuon ball did not hit poin^ blank,
there the bomb shell fell w ith dire effect.
The besiegers reckon that they fired,
during the whole seige, about 56,000
shot; 13,000 in one day alone, the 22d of
January. It is hardly an exaggeration to
say that yon may almost tell the effect of
each projectile; you almost come to the
conclusion that not one of them lias been
burled in vain. The siege of Gaeta is, I
believe, the first instance in which rifle
cannon has been applied on a large scale
to the battering of walls and bastions.
The Piedmontese, as I told you, had rear
ed eighty of these new war engines on their
batteries, and no man who has not seen
it, can believe tbe havoc they have caused.
I have already described to you the con
dition of that part of the town. I had al
ready visited ‘that narrow slip stretching
from the town gate to the Royal Palace.
The houses in this part may be said to be

These Pills are Nature's aperient. From one to
six Pills restore the healthy action of the boweii,

liver, relieve diseases of the bowels, kidney, and
bladder, cleanse the blood, aud equalizes the cir
culation. Hence in Billiousness. Dyspepsia, Cos

restore the patient to health, and without weaketi-
ing the system.
THEIR QUICK OPERATION
In cases of Infiamation of the Bowels, Billious

six ol RADWAVS REGULATING PILLS will
produce a free and pleasant evacnation from tbe

tence, that will operate so pleasantly, thorough^
and speedily as Radway*s Regulating PiUs. Per
sons suffering from Nervousness, Melancholy,
Restlessness at Night, Bad Dreams. Rush of blood
