' * I hi? years ago, wflter of these lines andean inyalid physician, while visiting the
Zfldand of St. Croix for their health, experienced and witnessed many surprising and
beneficial effects of the Bum there produced upon many of the invalids who were (like
’ ourselves) seeking health; and, upon inquiry and investigation, obtained a full history
of its medicinal virtues. He was delighted and surprised, and after his own recovery, *
which soon occurred, determined, if .possible, to procure the sole right to manufacture
and sell it in the United States.
The result of his labors was a glorious success for himself and suffering humanity,
for’ the celebrated PLANTATION BITTEES was thus made known to the world. PLAN

" Notwithstanding the large importation of Si. Ckoix Bum, made expressly for the com*

ffl\ that arrangements uaon an estensivfscale abroad should at once be made, and an agent

*: leasing several plantations on some of the largest and most productive estates to the
island. Houses, stills and presses were erected as if by magic, which utterly °*

ried it.off .as q trophy.: The soldiers, order
ed to do so, rushed into the Indian camp to
recover it, and were driven out* The next

for a parley. The Sitkas, who were visit
ing she Kakes. crowded around the Chiefs
es the latter tribe, and elbowed them in
to the garrison, where- captives, they were
treated with great rigor. Other outrages
followed, two Julians were killed, and they*
avenged themselves on two whites who
were caught when out pn an expedition.
Then followed the small war wbveh resulted
in the implacablcvhatred of the mosljvyarliko
in Alaska to the American people and gov
ernment. . •»!,. •«'
Indeed, if the accounts received from this
distant point are trite, the garrison and
officers at Sitka have conducted themselves
in such ,a manner as to bring reproach and
disgrace ©n the American pame. They
seem so-have lost all self-respect, and tak
ing advantage of their military strength
and distance from civilization, consume
their time debauahefm and orgies of the
most brutal character. We .read of a “cer
tain Colonel, accompanied by a citizep, who
went to a widow’s house, playfully smash
ed the windows, and when the frightened
ladv fled, with a child in her arms, pur
sued her with whoops and yells. The.child
died from the incidental fright and exposure
In another instance a parcel of. officers en
tered the apartments of another lady, due
ring her absence, ransacked her wordrohe
rigged up. the chairs in her dresses, and,
after a drunken bout, wound up the per
formate with a torchlight prosession in
daylight. In another instance, the offioer
in Command, while General Divjs was
absent* went into a saloon, and hearing
someone, in the bathroom, concluded to
see who it was, broke in the door, and dis
covering ,a lady, instead of apoigizing for
the intrusion, insulted her in the grossest,
manner and when ejected, proceeded to
headquaters and dispatched a file of soh.
diers to shut up tbe saloon and arrest the
man who, thad dared expel thO ruffian.
Among the genial amusements of the offics
prs is that of bumming around the streets
of Sitka at night, knocking down all per
sons they meet, and atticrwise demonstras
ting the glorious principle of being free
independent citizens of a free and indepen
dent government, ,
Bat wp ao patience with d<»tail« so
profoundly ilisgracefni. There is some*
compensation in the, knowledge of the fact
that throe,f>f the ruffians have died of
rium tremens, and it would he no loss to
the world wore their brutal compatriots to
follow by the quickest dispatch There is
hope that General Ilalleck, who recently
Visited Sitka, will put. an end to the infa*
tnous proceedings, and cause those engage
rd in them to be arrested, tried -and pun*

was happy because she gained the head of
the class, and i smiled on her, and ran to

alb dear mother. The other spoke still
more timidly. “A little girl, who sat with
me on the bench at school has lost a little
