'■—• - —■ -■ ■ - t. - ' ■ ■■ ' * 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 TATION BiyTEESJemg an article of real merit, founded, upon new principles, and “ Ifelyitfg whally upon the veritable world for its medicinal effects, worked a rapid revo u rg | Mon Ifistorr of fiidicfce, aid bqcame as a household word all over the civilized | T& caplistio S. T^*-1880—Z. was a talisman of health, and the demand for ILi if* IJANf ATST Bf soon far £*ceeded the abUities of the proprietors to supply. " Notwithstanding the large importation of Si. Ckoix Bum, made expressly for the com* „poundin£ of jhwa Bitters, the naantity was inadequate. It therefore became necessary ffl\ that arrangements uaon an estensivfscale abroad should at once be made, and an agent .UJ to St. Tktaiasfor 4at purpose. He was fortunate in securing and *: 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 °* lshed the natives.” The services of experienced men and natives of the island were ... waxed, and very soon the woprietors of the PLANTATION BITTEBSwere in a poatioa Xf J&rnfr* their with M thaperfectly pure St. Croix Bum needed in manufac turing the GREAT DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND INVIGOBATOB. The above cut represent* •V' the natives crushing the sugar-cane and otherwise preparing it for the stills and yetm** '"4 As an antidote to Fever and Ague, Intermittent and Malarious Fevers, Dyspepsia, an other kindred diseases, tiie use of the PLANTATION BITTEBS is unsurpassed in -hi history of the world. Over five million bottles are disposed of annually. They flfri adapted to old and young, male and female. They are agreeable in taste, and always produce an immediate beneficial result. T • * Deccuibei 9, 1868 n i.7"" flow We Govern in Alaska, By all accounts General Jefferson C- Davis, commanding the department of Alas. ka» is resposible, fyr the difficulties had with the Kake Indians,,, Jt© is alledged that 09 tyew Year’s day be supplied, one of tHP Chipss n liiteifallyjvith liquor, and Big Indian, together v'nk other t big Indiana,, got hap pily drunk, a,n4 refused to re tire outside the garrisqp? lines to their en campment They were out and in the .melee one of the Knkes wjested a mus ket from, the hands of a soldier, and car 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 morning,- the Indians* were drawn up in battle array, but a few discharges of fire arms and sufficed to cool their ardor-. A parley, eusiled. Davis rod > ©Ut 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* rshjed. At is doe to the country, to our g<K)d name as people, and to the honor of Am«V*can '"arms, that there should la; a ligopott*. investigation and condemnation without iitercy.
