Headquarters 3d Military Dis triot, (Georgia, Alabama and Flor ida}, Atlanta, Ga., June 25th, 1867. — General Orders No. 36.—The Fourth of July, 1867, being the ninety-first Anniversary of the Independence ot the United States, the day will be ob served in the usual manner. A National Salute will be fired at meridian at all Posts provided with Artillery. The troops will be paraded at the usual hour for guard mounting in the morning, and this order read; after which, all duties except the necessary guard and police, will cease for the day. Commanding officers of Posts are authorized at their own discretion to take part in such ceremonies as the citizens or civil authorities may re quest. By command of Brevet Major Gent eral Pope. G. R. SAnderson, Capt. 23d U. S. Inf. and A. A. A. G. Official: G. K. Sanderson, Capt. 33d U. S. Inf. and A. A. A. G. Gen. Longstreet and his Position. The Philadelphia Press —Forney’s paper —the organ of Stevens and But ler ami Ashley, aud tbo whole crew of Southern haters, Radical disorgan izers, impeachers and confiscators, ■with frantic joy, clasps General Long strectin its loving embraces. It says : “These letters of the ex-rebel leader are the best campaign documents yet issued. If they had been written for the very purpose of being used in Pennsylvania this fall, they could not be clearer or more telling. * * * * * “We hope to sec the Longstreet let ders published prominently in every Union paper in Pennsylvania, and let the Republican journals in each coun ty never rest until they have forced their publication in the trembling sheets of their Democratic contempo raries and neighbors. They will fall like hot shot into the catnp of the Democracy. They convict that time serving organization of cowardic and bad faith. “ How puerile and pitiful reads the Harrisburg platform beside the fresh, fearless utterances of the honest sol dier ! How contemptible the rear guard of rebellion contrasts with tho devoted columns that charged all along the Confederate lines from Rich mond to Chattanooga ! “It may be expedient to invite Lieutenant General James Longstreet to Pennsylvania as a campaign orator this coming election. We know of nothing that would more advance the interests of our party and cause.’’ “The Churcii of the S t r an. gers,” New York: Rev. Dr. Deems, Pastor.— Strangers visiting New York are respectfully informed that a congregation composed of Chris tians of the different denominations has been organized under the pastoral charge of Rev. Charles F. Deems. The services are held morning and night in the large Chapel of the Uni. versity, two blocks west of the New York Hotel. The pastor’s residence and post of fice address is 221 West 34th street. Strangers in tho city who are sick or in distress may freely call upon Dr. Deems for pastoral service. When any member of any church comes to New York, let him call promptly on the Pastor of the Cliurch of tho Stran gers. Especially let this be done in the case of young men, who will have a cordial welcome. Newspapers friendly to this enter prise are respectfully requested to copy this notice and allow it to stand. The “ Grand Army of the Repub' lie ” on Greeley. —The Grand Army of the Republic, whereof General Thos. L. Young, of Cincinnati, is grand com mander, at their headquarters, Post No. 130, Tenth District, Department of Ohio, which is supposed to bo in tho neighborhood of Toledo, has lately delivered itself of a series of rcsolu tions on the subject of the release of Jefferson Davis. Here are specimens; Resolved, That Horace Greeley is an ass. In becoming tho surety for Jeff Davis he has insulted tho loyal sentiment of tho country, and must be called to the pillory of public exccrai tion forever. Resolved, That the Loyal League of New York, by refusing to punish Horace Greeley, have shown them selves to be “a narrow minded set of blockheads,” and worthless as an or ganization. The Plague in Ireland. —A disease has appeared in Dublin which so close ly resembles the plague of 1865, that it is considered by some to be identi cally the same diseaso. It first ap peared in Dublin, in March, 1866. Os late the cases have become so nu merous, as decidedly to increase the death-rate of the city. Its symptoms are headache, pain in the spine and stomach, sometimes curvature of the spine and displacement of the head, dilation pf the pupil and spasms. In variably there appear upon the breast and arms purplo spots, which grow darker until they are finally black. There are three grades, according to the physicians, in only one of which recoveries have taken place. Pardon of General Longstreet. —A pardon was to-day issued in the caso of Gen. Longstreet, it having been granted upon the written and personal application of numerous prominent in dividuals, including among the names appended to the request that of Gcn’l Grant and other prominent officers of the army, with several Senators and Representatives, many of whom were also personally applicants for the par don. —ffew York Herald.

HOLYWOOD MEMORIAL AS SOCIATION. Wo publish to-day, by request, the report of the Secretary, of the acts, doings and success of the above Asso ciation. In the contributions we no tice that Georgia stands at the head of the list, having contributed SIOOO, besido boxes of fancy articles. It will be peculiarly gratifying to our people to know that Thomas county contri* buted $460, or very nearly one-half of tho amount contributed by the entire State, and presents a most creditable record of the energy and influence of the young ladies who were appointed to solicit contributions for Thomas county. It also pays a high compli ment to the- generosity and liberality of our citizens, and it gratifies us to know, that our fallen heroes, though buried on distant fields of battle, are not dead in the memories of those for whom they fell. THE MENDENHALL LOOM. This extraordinary Self-Acting Hand Loom is now attracting great attention throughout the country. It is so sim> pie and substantial a piece of machin ery, and yet so perfect and successful in its operations, that every one is as tonished and delighted who sees it in motion. A small boy or girl who knows nothing about weaving, may turn the crank and weave twenty-five yards of cloth per day, and there is no laborious work about it. This new Loom does away entirely with tho old fashioned batten, which gave so many ladies consumption,-or other diseases, and thus injured or ruined their health, and substitutes in its stead a small crank easily turned. A lady may sit by and sew while superintending the weaving, causing the crank to be turn ed by a small boy or girl, as before stated. This Loom is now offered to the people of Thomas county, at the store of Messrs. McQueen & Vickers, of Thomasvillo. Our Farmers and all others are requested to call and examine it. A lady is at all times present to exhibit its powers to the satisfaction of all visitors. We have ourself witnessed its operations, and are thoroughly convinced that tho Mendenhall Loom will do all that is claimed for it. COUNCIL OF BISHOPS. The l’opc of Rome is shortly to as semble under the dome of St. Peter’s, a council of all tho Roman Catholic Bishops throughout the world. About one hundred and fifty millions of peo ple will be represented by these Bish ops, and the council thus assembled and presided over by tho Pope, will bo the most important religious coun cil assembled since the famous Council of Nice. At tho Council of Nice Church and State were first uni. ted by tho Emperor Constantine ; but at tho approaching Council of Home, those two powers which marched hand in hand through the blood and gloom of the “dark ages," will, in all proba bility, be entirely and forever divorc. cd. The loss of all military power by the Church at Rome, and tho constant defeats the Pope has of late years en. countered in all his political specula tions, has at last, it is supposed, re duced him to tho necessity of aban. doning all pretensions to temporal power, and that that ancient dignitary will surrender tho temporal power claimed by the Church, and allow the union which created the dark ages, to be formally dissolved. So moto it be. HEALTH OF BAINBRIDGE. Brother Russell of tho Argus pro fesses to boa moralist. > and should therefore be careful not to mislead bis readers by dodging a truth, tucroly to appear triumphant over an opponent. Wo did not “attack tho health of Bainbridgc,” but merely mado use of brother Russell’s witless admission. Ho stated his intention of coming over to Thomasville to “inhale country air and rcinvigorate his health." Now, when wo consider that he lives in Bainbridgc, it is certaiuly an admis sion in favor of Thomasvillo against Bainbridgc. lie has himself to thank for the reflection upon his village, but if we had argued against tho health of Bainbridgc, our arguments would havo found confirmation in his defenco of the 29th ultimo, tor ho admits tho “rotten limestone water,” tho “swamps of tho Flint river,” and the great diffi culty in procuring good well water; but undertake?, against all reason and precedent, to prove that they do not affect the health of Baitibridgo. This is sufficient for our roply, but W 0 de sire our ootemporary to understand, that wo havo not the slightest feeling of hostility or opposition to the pro gress aud prosperity of Bainbridgc. We must, howover, bo permitted to reply to bis sallies of wit, and if- his village suffers by tho comparison, the blame must be at his door, Davis was born in Todd county, Kentucky, end was fitly, nine years old on the 3d day of Junc [FOR THE SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.] RAIL ROAD MEETING. In accordance with previous publi cation and understanding, there was a warm and enthusiastic public meeting of the citizens of Thomas county, at the Court House, on Saturday, the 29th instant, to discuss the pressing and unavoidable necessity of immedi ate and vigorous action in the con struction of the South Georgia & Flo. rida Rail Road. The meeting was organized by call ing Col. P. McGlashan to the Chair; E. T. Davis acting as Secretary. By request, Maj. L. C. Bryan, who fully appreciates the value of the pro jected road, and who has all the while labored with unaboting zeal and devo tion in its interest, stated in a few brief, but ooncise and satisfactory re marks, the object of the meeting. Col. Seward then introduced the following Resolution, which, when sub mitted to test was passed without a dissenting voice. Resolved, That interest, duty and patriotism, require that the county of Thomas should immediately put forth her energies and resources, for the speedy construction of tho South Geo. - > gia & Florida Rail Road, and that every other lino of policy is unbecom ing the intelligence of our people, and would be a stigma upon tho good name of the county, disastrous to the great interest of the people, and would sac rifice our prosperity at the foot of com peting enterprises. Eloquent and stirring appeals were then made by Maj. Spencer and Col. Seward, in behalf of the Road, show ing by convincing and powerful argu ments, that it is the unmistakcable in terest of Thomas county to embark at once into the enterprise; thus intro ducing capital and population into our midst; greatly enhancing tho value of property and labor, and rapidly deve loping all the material interests and resources of the county. Judge Hardaway, whose financial capacity is well understood, proved by actual figures , that in the two items of travel and transportation of freight alone, tho annuul saving to the coun. ty by this direct line of communica tion with the great grain growing and meat producing regions of the North and West, would be immense ; proba bly not less than $200,000, or more than twenty eight times as much as tho county will be required to pay, to make her Hundred Thousand Dollars worth of Bonds available for the construc tion of the Road Charley Cooper (colored,) express ing a desire to speak to his colored friends upon their interest in the ltoad was listened to with attention. There being no further business be fore the meeting it adjourned sine die. I*. McGLASHAN, Preit. E. T Davis, Sec’y. Mooting of tho Hollywood Me morial Association. The annual meeting of tho Holly wood Memorial Association, was held in St. Paul's church yesterday after noon. Tho meeting being called to order, the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. An elaborate and beautifully written report was presented by Mrs. Harper, the recording secretary, and accepted. A number of new names were ad ded to the lists of the Association as members. The resignation of Mrs. Ilarpcr, tho recording secretary, was presented and reluctlantly accepted by a small majority. Mrs. William Biown was then unanimously elected recoding secreta ry to fill tho vacancy. A communication from Mrs. Mac failand, begging leave to withdraw from the office of president, on ac count of the probability of some months’ absence, was presented. The leave was declined. The treasurer’s annual report was next read. A favorablo condition of the treasury was shown. Mrs. Webb then submitted tho fol lowing report of tho operations of the Hollywood Memorial Bazaar: Mrs. W. 11. Macfarland, President Hollywood Memorial Association : Tho following report of tho Holly, wood Memorial Bazaar is respectfully submitted : At a meeting of the Hollywood Me morial Association, held in July last, the managers of that association ap pointed a oommittoc to make arrange ments for a Bazaar, to be, hold for the purposo of raising funds to carry out their plans in care of the Confederate dead in Hollywood. This committee consisted of a president, secretary, and trearuror, invested with power to make suoh appointments as they should think proper. Four vice-presidents and an Execotive Committee were ad ded, and by August tho 18th, the Hollywood Memorial Bazaar Assooii ation was fully organized, and had begun operations’ An appeal was made to the people in all parts of the South and to those who felt an interest in our cause. Agents were appointed in each State, and authorized to tako suoh measures as they thought best to give efficiency to the efforts of all who wore disposed to aid us. The re sponse to this appeal will bo found in the following list of contributions from each State s Krom Delowaro, 2 valu able boxes fancy articles ; Maryland, a handsome piauo, marble monument, 885 in cash, and 12 boxos fancy arti cloz, with many useful and valuable contributions ; North Carolina, SOBO.- 25 in oash, 0 boxes fancy articles ; South Carolina, $450 in cash and 10 boxes of fancy articles; Georgia, sl,- 000 in oash and 5 boxes of fauoy arti cles ; Florida, 2 valuablo boxes fan. oy articles ; Alabama, SSO from Cap tain Dunlap, of Eutaw, 12 volumes Miss Evans's works from Mrs. Cbap> man, also from Mrs. Judge Hopkins ; Mississippi, $145 in cash and 1 box fancy articles ; Lousiana, $75 in cash, 3 boxes fanoy articles, also sio from Captain Waddell, of the “ Shenan doah Texas, $42.90 in cash, 1 box fancy articles; Kentuckey, slsl in cash, 8 boxes containing many useful and valuable articles; Missouri, $152 in cash and,4 boxes fancy articles; Tennessee, SSO in cash and 1 box tan cy articles; Arkansas $285 in and two boxes fancy articles. Vir ginia was represented in the “refresh, ment room.” The contributions to this department were of the most lib eral character, from all parts of our State, and especially from the citizens of Richmond, who never “wearied in well doing." The Bazaar was opened on tho 23d April, and closed on the 9th May—a period of nearly three weeks, during which large supplies continued to be sent in. The chil dren’s table received many contribu tions and made a handsome return.— The German table was well supplied by our German friends, and the thanks of the ladies arc due Captain Lybrock for his efficient aid. A number of contributions were re ceived from France, England, Scot, land, and many parts of tho North, sent by friends interested in our work. It is impossible to estimate the value of the articles sent, or the amount re alized at each table, and in so short a report to give the names of all who so geucrously aided us. In addition to the contributions named, a large num ber of tiekets were sold throughout the South and elsewhere. The treas urer’s report shows the total amount on hand to be SIB,OOO. Our agents in the South deserve great credit for their successful efforts. When we consider the impoverished condition of our people, and the many demands made upon them, their con tributions have indeed been liberal. — Their dead not only require care and attention in Hollywood, but in all parts of our State, and in many places south and west. To all the generous contriburors to the Bazaar, we should return grateful thanks, and hope we do not offend when we make special mention of the kindness and liberality of Colonel R. F Morris, whose handsome building was placed at our disposal for an in definite time. To the papers of Rich mond and all the courteous gentlemen connected with them, who have ren dered us valuable aid in the prosccu tion of our work. To the press throughout the South; to Mr. Ilamil ton and his assistants, of Adams Ex press Company, for courteous favors ; to Messrs. Kersey Sc Davis, Yale, Bowers & Yale, G. Sc A. Bargamin, and Captain A. G. Babcock, for hand some contributions, and fitting up the rooms free of expense. Wo are also indebted to the Musical and Dramatic Association for the handsomo sum of 8500. We desire to return our ear nest thanks to Miss Riddle for her constant and undivided attention at the enterance; and to the young la dies who gave us their presence and assistance, and were so faithful in dis charge of their duties. To tho gentle men who filled places in our various committees, and many others who indefatigable in their efforts to serve us. To the secretary, treasurer, Exe cutive Committee, and ladies in charge of tables, too much praise cannot be accorded. From the organization of our association to the close of the Ba. zarr, their interest never flagged. It is due to them to state "that the Ba zaar was managed without funds, save $154 granted by the memorial associ ation. This sum was distributed to tho different tables, giving to each not over S2O. To their unfailing energy, patient perseverance, and faithful in dustry is duo the success which has crowned our efforts. We have still some articles of value to dispose of, and hope to increase tho amount. Very respectfully, Lucy R. Webb, President Hollywood Memorial Ra. zaar. Latest from Moxieo. New Orleans, Juno 29.—The Austrimna steam sloop of war arrived at Southwest Pass this morning and landed telegraphic dispatches for the Austrian government. Her national ensign was draped in deep mourning. This, with the reticence ot her officers, is significant. They, however, report that tho City of Mexico was captured by tbo Liberals on tho 20th inst. The particulars not reached Vora Cruz up to the time of sailing. Tho Mexican schooner, Atlas, also arrived at the mouth of Mississippi this morning, having on board twenty-four exiled Imperialists Mexicans, who havo been peremptorily banished, among them several military offioers. They report that Santa Anna, being transferred to tho American steamer Virginia, at Vera Cruz, was conveyed to Sisal. On arriving a Mexican gun boat demanded the person of Santa Anna, which was refused, when the Mexicans threatened to tire upon the Virginia. Tho captain told them they could take him by force as he was not armed, lie thenspread tho American ensign on the gangway and tlie Mexi cans trod on tho flat:, seized Santa Anna, thrust him into their boat and took him to Campeachy, where he was confined as a prisoner of war.

Notes on the Situation. BY B. H. HILL. Having shown what every fair mind admits, and what every legal mind must conclude, that theso military measures are subversive of the Consti tution and fatal to the very life of all American principles of government, let us now proceed to examine the reasons urged to justify or induce their acceptance by our people. Af ter careful consideration, I find that all tho reasons which I have heard or read arc included in the following five propositions and allegations: 1. We are helpless, it is alleged, and oan neither resist nor prevent the adoption of these measures. 2. That if we refuse to accept this plan of reconstruction, a worse one will be provided. An appeal to our fears, and therefore a strong or rather dan gerous position. 3. That if we reject this plan, Con gress will become more offended, and will confiscate our property, and take the subsistance wo have left, This is an appeal to our avarice—a very domi nant passion of human nature. 4 That wc of the South arc a con quered people, and arc bound toaccept the terms of the conqueror, and that these bills are tho terms of the con queror. 5. That the negro, being now free and made a citizen, is entitled both, for his own protection and in ac cordance with the principles of popu lar government, to political as well as civil equality with the white race, and that civil equality will be idle without political equality. This last position is urged chiefly by Northern supporters of theso bills and has a semblance of consistency and principle, and I have, therefore, included it in the list of arguments or positions to be answered. I have no difficulty whatever in find ing tho most satisfactory replies to all these alleged reasons. Indeed, I affirm, with absolute confidence, that all the good which it is claimed will come of these measures, will eomo and can only come of their rejection ; and that all the evils which it is alleged will result from their rejection will neces sarily and naturally result from their acceptance. But I find it very diffi cult while writing, and impossible while speaking, to exhibit what I do not feel; and, while making the analy sis, it will be a task to exhibit any respect either for these positions or for those who use them. For tho edu cated politician—the man who has ex perience in public affairs, and who as pires and labors to boa teacher and counsellor of the people, and who urges those teachings and counsels— “l am exceedingly filled with con tempt’’; because I can but believe that such a man consciously descrates the truth, and recklessly, but with most conciliating address, hazzards every interest of the people only that he may take the benefit of being “ on the strong side.” Alas, what pen shall ever be able to recount tho countless horrots which have resulted from—been wrought by —that demoniac spirit of our political leaders to be on the strong side, and to make issues and pander to passions “to keep on the strong side 1” This spirit made “bleeding Kansas ;” rent the Union in twain; drenched the country in blood and clad the people with mourning; demoralized, deceived and betrayed tho most gallant people under the cycles of the sun to the most humiliating subjugation, and now counsels, urges, threatens to compel dishonor to a people who have nothing but honor left. But I know there arc many people who are honest, and even intelligent on most subjects, who commit grave political errors and mistakes. It would be strange if they did not when there are so many influences to deceive. In popular governments, therefore, and more especially now, since so much power is proposed to bo given to so much ignorance, it is necessary to an swer the knave in his argumeut lest he make a fool of his hearer. First, then, it is said we are helpless and cannot prevent the success of these Military Bills. Well, if this is true, why ask our consent ? If success does not depend on consent, why beg and coax and threaten to secure con. sent ? If we must bo disfranchised and havo an “ enemy’s government” forced upon us, spare us tho gratuitous dishonor of consenting I If a fiend, with the power, should come to hum your houso, or rape your wife, or kill your family, and should coolly ask your consent, saying you had bettor cousent, for if you did not, ho would burn, or rapo, or kill any how, and perhaps, being inccnaod by your re. iusal, do all, would you consont ? I like the spirit of the old Roman cen turion. A decemvir —a ruler of the strong sido —beoamo enamored of the humble centurion’s “daughter.” Ho first persuaded, but porsuation failing to secure consent, he resorted to his power, tho power of his office. When tho hour of supposed helplessness was reached the father snatched a knife and plunged it into the breast of his daughter, exclaiming, “This is all my dearest daughter, I can give theo to preservo thy chastity from the lust and violence of a tyrant.’’ And what was tho result in heathen Rome ? The soldiers and people honored the father, and rose with indignation and abolished tho deoeiuviral power of Homo forver, and the guilty decemvirs slew themselves. And to this day this is told as a memorial of the noble father, and of the glorious army and people who avenged him. And tho daughter’s name was Virginia. The virtue of all daughters, and tho pride all our sons are secure only in our sense of honor as a people. But are wo helpless ? If we eon template resistance by anus, I concede that now we are helpless. But our strength Is in the Constitution. If the Constitution is strong we are strong, and if we are helpless the Constitution jis helpless. I have shown if these military measures be forced upon us the Constitution is destroyed. On its parapets alone let us mount our guDS and fire on. The most startling evi dence of our progress toward anarchy, is the idea with some, 1 fear many oi our people, that the Constitution can do us no good. The very thought should alarm every man on the conti nent who has property, or liberty, or peace, or who desires to get or to keep either. The only possible hope I have in the future for anything good or safe to the people of any section and of any color, is founded in the belief that the Constitution is not dead —is not helpless. It has been sadly disregard ed, abandoned, nod trampled on, I a*!- mit. But its enemies are too cruel.— They insist upon dealing their blows too often, too quickly and too reckless ly. Their motives are becoming mani fest. The murderer’s intent is at last being seen. The people will come to tho rescue; they will come in wrath, and these long rioting enemies will call on the very mountains to hide them.— If I am mistaken ; if the Constitution is dead ; if the people have lost the will to save it these patriots and Chris tians, and all order-loving men; haye but one duty to perform. That duty is to pray—pray earnestly—pray un ceasingly, that the Casesar of Ameri can history would come and come quickly. Our noble Governor sought to test the constitutionality of these measures before the Supreme Court by a bill filed in the name ot the State. I am glad he did so. It was a manly effort for which our children will praise him. Besides, he gave the court an oppor tunity of deciding an important ques tion which may be one day involved. He failed to get the test, because the court was not able to decide that it had jurisdiction in the form in which the question was made ; not because Georgia was not a State, but because Georgia being a State the question, a? made, was political only. But the humblest of the ten millions of the people of tho ten States, whose rights of person or pioperty are interfered with by one of these military officers, can make it judicially; and then the court must decide it, and will decide it only in favor of the citizen. I do most earnestly hold that every citizen, whose property is seized or whose person is arrested under pretence of these Military Bills, will promptly ap peal to the law. lam aware that our people arc attempted to be frightened from this appeal to the courts because they are told it will be years before a decision can be forced ! This is not true. A decision on a writ of habeas corpus must come at once from the District Court, and in a short time from the Supreme Court. But, if this delay is to defeat the application, would not people for the same reason assert no right by tho law, and thus submit to all outrages or take the law in their own hands ? And must the right on which all rights depend be abandoned because the law is slow ? But, it is said, that while the .courts are waiting, the Congress will complete its work. But, if the courts finally hold that the work is completed with out any authority under the Constitu tion, will not all the work go for noth ing and our existing government, be restored ? But suppose it will take one year, or five years, or ten years, to “ force tho court to a decision ?’> Would it not be better to brook the court’s delay lor even ten years than to accept anar. chy and slavery lor a century ? No, there is neither logic, nor sin. cerity, nor patriotism in this argument or excuse, that we are helpless. If we oonsent to and accept these military measures, then we are helpless, because they, by that consent, beoome valid— become our act. If we do not accept —if wo vote against a Convention — they never can become valid. They never can be finally enforced. This is the reason, and the only reason why every means is resorted to to secure our consent. Without that consent theso acts have no vitality. There is for these corrupt party manipulators and bribed deserters from their own honor, no refuge from d’sgraoe, but in success of their scheme of ruin. There is no possible way of suoeess except by the people’s oonsent to their own ruin. Therefore, it is that emissaries come, and renegades labor, and origi nal secessionist become othodox loy alists, and by persuasions and by threats, by bribing some and alarming others and deceiving all, seek to get the people to consent. The wicked violators of the Consti tution would cover their crimes by calling it Progress, and getting the people to tread with them in their country’s death march. The itinerant vender of his people’s honor would escape the infamy of his trade by inducing the people to joiu in the sale. What 1 will the people violate the Constitution to get strength, or aban. don the laws to find safety ? Then, is the mariner skilled who throws away his chart and compass to find his way over the sea; and tbo madman has become wise who forsakes his shelter to avoid tho storm. “ One of the banished crew, I fear, hath ventured from the deep, to raise new trembles. WyThe net results of General Han cock’s campaign against the Indians, may be thus stated: After marohing eleven hundred cavalry a distance of eight hundred miles, with prodigious transportation trains, he succeeded in capturing one old Sioux with a brokeu leg, and an idiotio Cheyenne girl.— Immediately afterward three hundred men of Gen. Custar’s command de serted, taking their horses with them. Proceedings of Council. COUNCIL ROOM, Thomasville, July 1, 1867. J. C.

Herald. A Desideratum.— For years th«r malarial regions, embracing almost Char entire South, have been afflicted with certain diseases incident to the ex treme temperature of the sun, and thor iow, marshy configuration of the coun try. The medical profession, which, in the South, can justly boast of hav* ing the “brightest lights,” have time aud again tried their skill and experi ence to prepare an antidote for theso local diseases, but without entire suc cess. Year after year these climatio complaints have continued to multiply/ until certain localities ire our “Sunny South” were fast becoming depopula ted in consequence of these purely lo cal and serious, but not fatal malarial affections. Remedy after remedy had been tried and found wanting, until within the last few years, when a cer tain man named Gallighan, an old citi zen and successful practitioner of Flo rida, a region sorely afflicted with ma larial diseases of a certain character, prepared a compound which, in conee. quence of its certain and permanent cure of chills and fever, gained for it and himself a well deserved promi nence. This preparation is now well known-from Maine to the Rio Grando as “Gallighan’s Pills,” the sole proprie torship of which now belongs to Messrs. Blount & Hale, extensive and reliabJo druggists of this city. These gentlemen are known to us personally, and in view of our life-long acquaintance with them, and knowing them to be responsible men and relia ble in every respect, we can unhesita tingly endorse them and the excellent preparation they are now manufactur ing on a large scale in this city. This article is not written as a “quack” to a quack medicine, and we do not wish it to be so considered by the reader. It is written, however, for the purpose of reoommending to all afflicted with those troubles and troublesome disea* ses, well known in the South as “chills and fever.” We feel it our duty to commend Gallighan’s Pills to our peo ple, for the testimony and our experi ence is beyond nil doubt clearly in their favor.
