The Great Family Medicine of the Age
Thirty years have elapsed since the introduc
tion ot the Pain Killer to the public, and yet at
the present.time it is more popular and com
mands a'larger sale than before. Its popularity
, is not confined to this country alone; all over
the world its beneficial effects in curing the “ills
that flesh is heir to,” are acknowledged and ap
preciated, and as a Pain Killer its fame is limited
-to no country, sect nor race. It needs only to
be known to be prized. Thirty years is certain
fly a long enough time to prove the efficacy of
any medicine, and that the Pain Killer is de
serving of all its proprietors claim for it, is am
ply proved by the unparallelled popularity it
has attained. It is a sure and effective remedy.

HOME AFFAIRS
A mexde. In the baste of passing my notes on
the “ .Senior Exhibition,” to the messenger ot
the Appeal last week, the notice of the Essay
upon “ Faith and Hope Essential to Success in
Lite,” by Miss Fannie McAfee, of Gherokee
county, Ga., was accidentally omitted.
It was a composition of rare merit, 'and was
read with marked distinctness, composure and
grace. The omission was not noticed until the
paper was issued, and was regretted on account
of decided friendship for the accomplished young
lady, and more especially as she was the only
representative of Upper Georgia in the college.
She carries with her the good wishes of numer
ous friends, and the evidence in her buoyant
spirits and on her rosy cheeks, that the people
of that beautiful section, will hazard nothing in
health, by sending tbeir daughters to Andrew
College. F.
The Exhibition on Friday Night.—Mrs.
Hamilton’s splendid display of acting tableaux
wants, we learn, was greeted with such an array
of fashion and beauty, as is seldom seen in a
provincial town,
The spacious chapel wa3 crowded to its nt- <
most capacity, and each scoWe was received with
rounds of enthusiastic applause.
A friend informed us in Macon, that the num
ber of strangers in attendance was greater than
on any former occasion.
We are sorry learn, however, that the best
of order was not preserved, and many were
even prevented from seeing, by the standing qf
their neighbors in front. This is to be regret
ted, as it causes our city to suffer in comp rison
with other places, where the proprieties are more
rigidly adhered to.

Deliberate and Diaboi.ioal Incendiarism
Again was our community (brown into a state of
the greatest excitement and consternation by a
carefully planned and well nigh successful at
tempt. to lay this beautiful - city in ruins.
Just at break of day on Sabbath morn, th»4th
inst. as Wyatt, the faithful colored superintend
ent of street lamps was going his rounds, extin
guishing bis lights on the square, he discovered
the large Douglass building on fire in the rear,
opposite the Alhambra saloon.
Great pains had evidently been taken to make
a sure thing of the affair, by the incarnate fiend
who appMed the torch. Some evidences of the
use of kerosene were observed, and the fire was
adroitly placed in a retired and unfrequented
portion of the building. It bad burned for a
considerable time, partially consuming a sill
and extending some distance up the sides of the
bouse.
A few buckets of water made all safe, and
averted a disaster terrible to contemplate.
We learn another unoccupied building on Col
lege street, the next day. way also set on fire.
There can be no doubt that our city is infested
with a baud of cut throats and thieves, who are
resolved upon mischief, and the authorities and
all good men should exercise sleepless vigi
lance to defeat their nefarious plans, and bring
the villains to justice.
Prolific Cabbage— Mr. Bryaa A. Collier
proprietor of the Mclntosh House at the Indian
springs, exhibited last week a mammo.h bead
white cabbage, which contained 24 distinct but
small heads each attached to the same parent
stem, and lying one under another between the
upper laminse of the vegetable.
m These heads were all of them perfect in form,
corstituting as it wore a cluster of cabbages all
bound up in one. It was a wonderful freak of
nature, and attracted much attention.
or Our colored trie.idi complain bitterly
that several of their number have been arres
ted on the streets by our volunteer police guards,
without cause, since the fire.
This is all wrong, and we trust our over zeal-'
ous city guardians will exercise the greatest pru
dence and circumspection in the discharge of
their duties.
No person, of whatever race or color, can be
molested on the streets or square, unless in the
act of breaking the public peace, or inciting to
riot. Great discretion should be used to avoid
giving offence, especially to the sensitivp freed
men. It would be web even to enlist the aid of
some of our reliable and respectable blacks in
the task of protecting our city from incendia
rism. Wfe know many who would co-operate
with the whites iu this work with zeal aud fidel
ity.
Prompt and Salutary Action of the City
Authorities.— lt affords us unaffected pleasure
to announce that our wise and efficient -Town
Council, have organized a permanent night
for tbe protection of the lives and proper
ty of the community.
Messrs. E M. Black, T. Byar3, S. Peacock
and Mr. Saxon the former efficient private watch
man of some of our merchants, constitute this
special night police.
Tbeir services will be of inestimable benefit
not only in the detection, but prevention of incen
diarism. The assassin and house-burner are pro
verbial cowar.is, aud the knowledge that vigi
lant eyes observe their movements, will go far to
keep these miscreants at a distance.
It one could be detected in the act,.and re
morselessly cast into the flames of bis own kind"
ling, a repetition of such occurrences might be
prevented.

TbE Hook and Ladder Company.—We are
pleased to learn that ample means will be forth
coming for the proper equipment ol this admi
rable organization-.
Though no formal action has yet been taken
by the-city couucil. yet enough is known to as
sure us that they will see to it that the corpora
tion does its duty in the premises-
One feature iu this organization must com
mend itself to every one. It can act with
promptness and efficiency at any point in the lim
its of the city, while the engiua must operate
within the radius of its kese, and near the water
reservoirs.
In New York it is said the hook and ladder
companies are regarded to the full as useful as the
regular fire associations. In an incredibly short
span of time a building can be torn down to ar
rust the flames, or the roofs of the tallest mansion
with the aid of ladders, may be reached aud pro
tected, by the water buckets of the company.
Messrs. Scott and Alison deserve the thanks of
the community for their laborious aud praisewor
thy exertions, to enrol aud organize the stalwart
band of colored citizens who will compose the
company.
Success to the project.

A Card,
Col. C. W. Jones. —My Dear S* r ■' “The
Banner of Light ” for June, 1870, with the lec
ture of Prof. Wm. Denton, “orthodoxy, is false
since Spiritualism is true,” lelt with a request for
me to read, and express my opinion upon its merits
Is herewith returned : and in compliance you are
entitled to a frank ex-pression of my view of it,
and in all tne unreserve of personal friendship,
knowing tliat you will duly appreciate my mo
tive I feel free to say what I really think of it.
if indeed I can find words lo express the utter
repugnance I feel for the newspaper that would
print such an article, the man that wrote it, and
the s[yle in which he treats snch a subject.
The whole article is based upon an unwarran
ted assumption, and from beginning to end is a
climax of the most reckless and wicked blas
phemy ; and with the author fanaticism has cul
minated in irreligious madness.
Men of bad hearts and base passions in all
countries and ages seize upon any and every
plausible pretext and take shelter under any
specious dogma to practice villainy. To believe
In spiritualism at all requires a stretch of creduli
ty beyond what I am yet capable of. But
many honest people do believe in it. To accept
all that prelended mediums profess to reveal is
however a different degree of faith, and carries
us beyond the bounds of human patience and
endurance. I have no doubt as much fraud has
been and will be practiced through the machina
tions of pretended spiritualists, as any new theo
ry the history of the world has ever developed.
Prof. Dentgn lays no foundation for all his
tirade upon Christianity, except the assertions
that they have revelations from the dead, that
they are true, aud in antagonism with the Bible.
Therefore you are required iu order to reach his
conclusion, to believe that spiritualism in all its
extravagant pretensions and reckless asaertio m
i3 true, that all whiclrtbe knaves who are practis
ing on overtaxed human credulity, assert, and
publish as revelations from the Spirit Laud, is
true and authenticated beyond a doubt; there
fore that the Bib.e is false—Christian experience
a cheat aad a humbug—that there is no Hell
and no Heaven— sucluas Christians believe there
are, and-the Bible reveals. There is no argu
ment in it, and it requires none to meet and re
fute it except what 1 have stated, that it rests
alone on the author’s unsupported assertions.—
He can as easily maintain that the moon is
made of green cheese, the sun of yellow metal,
the planets are luminous, or any other proposi
tion that you can not disprove by tastiug or han
dling or though some of the senses.
His slurs and bdfd attempts at ridicule upon
the Bible, and Christianity, which elicited so
much applause from his Boston audience, and
which <i?serve<j[ only hisses from refined and de
cent "skeptics, fall so far below the dignity of an
assault.upon the enlightened Christian churches,
as to inspire no feeling but pity/
In vain is spiritualism invoked to burl its
puny weapons against the God built, and long
tested fortress ot the Christian religion ; Qhe shel
ters her votaries the more securely the’ longer
and more severely assaulted. . Every new sci
ence has been- in turn invoked and by more,
powerful hands than Denton, against her ; but
when well understood only strengthen the Chris
tian's faith. Refined logic and courteous reason
by the best masters in metaphysics and phyloso
phy have failed. Iler walls have stootj impreg
nable ngaiQst.it all. She can stand a million
more of man's fanaticisms, through thousands
of developing years of coming time, and still
her course ai)d - career will be upward and on
ward until"blended with Eternal Light and ce
lestial glory. •
My friend, return these skeptical books to tbeir
owners; allow no doubts to enter your mind or
to sway your judgment as to the truth of revela
tion, the divinity of Christ, and the salvatiou
through faitli in His atonement and obedience
to His will. This is the only consolation in life,
the only solace in death, the only security iu
Eternity. All is dark outside the Christian’s
faith and hope, and all these antagonistic isms
are harbingers of cotniug evil, and are power,
less except to destroy the souls of their votaries
and to separate them from the loved and the
true who have passed over the cold Jordan of
death, aud who send os back no tidings to dis
prove the Bible.
Trusting that you will pardon the frankness
ot this note if it is an offence.
I am as ever you friend,
Herbert Fielder.
Brother Scruggs. —Our friend, Colo
nel VV. S. Scruggs, managing editor of
the Daily New Bra (exceedingly Radi
cal) published in this city, ought not to
be. held responsible for the bad doctrines
printed in the columns of that paper.—
The Colonel is a professional writer (a
good one at that), aud it is not to be
supposed for a moment, that he indorses,
directly or indirectly, the editorials and
squibbs, ordered by Bullock, Rice, Kim
bail & Cos. ' He simply gets fifty dollars
a week as managing editor. In this ca
pacity it is not necessary that he should
write a line for the paper over which he
has the misfortune to preside. The
managing editor of the “Daily London
Times” seldom ever composes a line for
that great and influential journal. He
simply says what shall and. what shall
not be printed, in the columns of the
Times. We learn that Mr. Scruggs is
not even allowed this professional priv
ilege ?
The editorials printed in the Era
should, if possible, be properly located
and we simply give it as our belief that
Mr. Scruggs Itas no real sympathy with
the present dangerous policy of tbe New
Era. This is ouly au opinion, and we
shall not cl&rge brother Bullock & Cos.
a cent for printing it in these columns.
We are not disposed to come Forney
over him in any way whatever, there
fore, “twenty-five cents a line” will not
v, f, M - this brief statement.—
If we have sard any o
of place, we are profoundly sorry for it,
-Mid-wiil try to do better next time. A
professitmkk. kind ness to a brother editor
should be Appreciated and properly
valued. Mr. Scruggs was an old Whig
and we sincerely believe htfn at this
time to be in sympathy with “Wisdom,
Justice aud Moderation.” —True (Geor

Address of Democratic Mem
bers. of Congress to the Peo
ple of the United States.
At a caucus of the Democratic mem
bers of CoDgress, held iu Washington
City last Friday, the following address
to the people of the United States was
adopted. It is signed by all the Demo
cratic members of Congress then in the
city:
To out lellow- Citizens of the United States ,
Friends of Constitutional, Economical and
Honest Government:
The UDdem.ned beg leave to call
your attention to the peculiar impor
tance of elections which take place this
year, aud respectfully to submit some
suggestions for your consideration.
By State to be elected,
nearly one thira of the United States
Senate will be chosen, nearly all mem
bers of the next House of" Representa
tives are to be elected next fall. Upon
coming elections then depends the ques
tio^w bother the Democratic and Oon
serWtive element ia the Senate shall be
increased and^" whether that element
shall have a majority in the House of
Representatives; and as a consequence,
whether we shall have control of an
economical and honest government or a
continuance of revolutionary, extrava
gant and wasteful partizag rule; wheth
er we shall have general, uniform, just
and constitutional legislation, with rea
sonable taxation and frugal expenditure,
or unconstitutional, partial, unjust class
legislation, with oppressivff'and unequal
taxation and wasteful expenditure.
That we have strong reasons to hope
for a favorable result is plainly appa.
rent. Elections already held clearly
show that the tide of reform has set ir.
with a power that cannot bo resisted, if
no blunders be committed by the friends
of reform. If they do their duty and
act wisely ; if they throw off all apathy
and act with vigor and steadfastness,
there is every reason to hope that their
efforts will be rewarded by success.
Let there be no dissension about
minor matters, no time lost in discus
sion of dead issues, no manifestation of
narrow oi proscriptive feeling, no sacri
fice of cause to gratify personal ambi
tion or resentment, and let the best men
be chosen for candidates, and we may
hope to see our country redeemed from
misrule. And in this connection we beg
leave to say a word to our fellow citi_
zeus of the Southern States. Do not
risk the loss of Senators or representa
tives by electing men who cannqjt take
the lest oath, or who are under the
disability imposed by the 14th Amend
ment. Whatever may be said of the
validity ot that amendment, or of the
test oath act, you may rest assured that
Senators elected by the votes of mem
bers of Legislatures who are held by
the Radicals to be permitted to take
their seats, aud’that members of the
House of Representatives thus disqua -
ified will also be excluded
It is the plainest dictate of practical
wisdom, not to incur any such risks.—
We hope soon to see the day when all
disabilities will be removed, but in the
meantime do not, we entreat you, lose
the opportunity to strengthen the Dera
ocratic and Conservative force in Con
gress, aud the possibility, nay probabil
ity, of obtaining a majority in the House
of representatives, by putting it in pow
er of our adversaries to overthrow or
disregard your electious.
Indians <m the War Path.
There is now no doubt but that the
Imßans, both in the north-western aud
southern reservations aud country, atm
on the war path iu earnest. Gener
al Sherman today received several tel
egraphic communications and letters
from General giving dialled
accounts of the state of affairs in the In
dian country. In every section the In
dians are on the war path. Seven dis
fereut bands, fully armed andequipped,
passed over the Pacific Railroad below
Fort Saunders, on Monday last, for the
ostensible purpose of going down to
hunt for elk; but neither Sherman nor
Sheridan belieyes this is the commission.
The lodiaus are already off their reser
vations, and evidently mean mischeif.
Geu. Sherman says the whole Indian
people seem to be in a restless condition,
and that from general information he
receives from all sources he has no
doubt they mean war.
Gen. Sheridan states that he found a
number of the bunds in some cases
over one thousand miles from their res
ervations. In a number of their villa
ges he found large quantities of stolen
property which they accumulate upon
each raid they make at a distance.
Tbe acoouuts of the fur-south Indians
are confirmed, and Gen. Sheridan looks
every day for an outbreak from the
Sioux. He has distributed his forces
enough to take active offensive meas
ures if a general war should commence.
He.has no hope of anything good from
Red Cloud and his chiefs, and says Red
Cloud cannot by any means control the
Bioux nation; and that, indeed, no In
dian chief can speak for his young rndW;
as the latter are always for war.
Gen. Sherman endorses these opin
ions, but states that he to.day feels more
concern about the state of Indian affairs
than he ever did before. He is satisfied
that the Indians have been only dally
ing about matters for several months
past, and that their striking a blow is
not a matter of doubt with him. now:
perplexing 1 question? fefb ’ B iied
Cloud and his band left the liue of the
railroad last Monday, and they should
be at Fort Larmie to day, where some
two hundred lodges of Red Cloud’s
people are waiting to receive him.—
Their actions and eours will be closely
watched. The General has no cenfi
rlence in Red Clond, and thinks the In
dian cheifs are too smart for the Indian
agents; and he says the plain truth of
the matter ia, that the Indian cared oav
for the agent who carries the gun—the
soldier. —Richmond Dtspatch.

The Niekajack Cave.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial thus describes Niekajack
(from Nigger Jack’s) Cave, twenty-one
miles west of Chattanooga:
The cave is probably the 'largest in
the State, and to explore it for even but
a short distance is enough to satisfy one
that it is “ grand, gloomy and peculiar.”
Its mouth is about one hundred feet
wide and nearly forty feet high. It is
arched ole •lead with pure granite,
which-presents a smooth surface some
fifteen feet thick. The first two hundred
cave is a large room arched
overhead, and a portion of it bavin r a
smooth door of dirt. It is a very pop
ular place for balls, picnics and Fourth
of July assemblages, the temperature
always being delightful.
Out from the mouth of the cave runs
a large stream of water as clear as crys
tal. At the mouth of the stream runs
along one side; but further in the cave
is contracted to the exact width of the
stream. This occurs some two or three
miles from the mouth, and oDward the
tourist has to go in a canoe, if he goes
at all. Few care to gc further, and the
most daring has only been 6ix miles.—
No man has ever found the end.
Tradition tells of a large number of
interesting and horrible affairs connected
witfTtbis cave. Dead men, and dead
men’p w bones, have been found in its
gHSomy recesses. During the war, aDd
after the tall of Ntffehville, Cheatham’s
command encamped on the banks of the
river near the cave for a few days.
~Shortly afterwards tne country was oc
cupieJ’by the Federal army, and a reg
iment of Indiana troops encamped at
the same piace. A few of them were
one day exploring the cave, and when
some two miles from the mouth they
stumbled over the bodies of three dead
men It was a Rebel lieutenant and
two privates. 1 hey. were locked in
each other’s arms, and it is supposed
they had lost their lights and wandered
around in the ink-black darkness until
exhausted, and then laid down to die.
If I mistake not, those who found them
belonged to the 72ud Indiana mounted
infantry.
About a year after this, six or seven
soldiers equipped themselves to explore
the cave. They went in one morning
aqgfchave never been heard of since
Buttheir absence is now accounted up
on a hypothesis cjher than they were
lost. At the time a vigorous search was
made, but no traces found, and it was
supposed they had become bewildered
in the many labyrinths of the cavern,
and.ne*er been able to find their way out.
But now it is believed that they remain
ed in the cave until night, and then slip
ped out and deserted. Such a course
would almost insure their escape, as
their officers would believe them to he
lost in the cave, and, of course, look no
where else for them At all events the
mystery has never been cleared up, and
people living about the cave aver that
unless the soldiers hud recourse to the
stratagem to desert, they were lost, and
their bodies may be found in the cave.

Health’s Best Defence.
“The weak euteth herbs,” says St. Paul, so
that eighteen hundred years ago the value of
medical plants was appreciated. In the Old Tes
tament botanical remedies are repeatedly recom
mended, but in no passage of sacred history is
man recommended to swallow calomel, or bine
pill, or any other mineral preparation. The
sick were directed to eat herbs to strengthen
them, to purify them, to heal them, to restore
them. In tha* day the art of making vegetable
extracts was unknown. The herbal medicines
were mere infusions.
It was reserved for a later age to unite the san
itary essences of tonic, aperient and antibilions
roots, barks, and plants, with an active stimulant,
and thus secure their rapid diffusion throngh the
debilitated or disordered system. The crowning
triumph of this effective mode of concentrating
and applying the virtues of medicinal vegetables
was achieved in the production of Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters. Never before had a perfectly
pure alcoholic stimulant beeu combined with the
vegetable kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen
.years have elapsed since its introduction, has
this great restorative "been equalled. It is taken
at all seasons, in all climes, as the most potent
safeguard against epidemics, as a protection
against all unhealthy exhalations that produce
debility or beget disease ; as a remedy for inter
mittent and other malarious fevers ; as an appe.
tizer : as a sovereign cure for dyspepsia ; as a
. -UMymranUin-a -reontla
less aperient; as a blood depnrent; as a ner
vine ; as a cure for bilious affections ; as a harm
less anodyne; and as the best defence of health
under unfavorable circumstances, such as seden
tary'‘pursuits. undue bodily or mental exertion
bar&hip, privation, and exposure.
