Mode of Preparation.—Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine gin.. Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits spirits obtained from Juniper Berries: very little sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirit. It is more palateable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of alight color. It is & plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a flame destroys this (its active principle,) leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predomi nates; the smallest quantity of the other Ingredients are added, to prevent fermentation $ upon inspec tion, it will be found not to be a Tincture, as made in Pharmacopeea, nor is it a Byrup—and therefore can be used in cases where fever or inflammation ex ist. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredi ents aid the mode of preparation. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon Inspection it will meet with your approbation With a feeling of confidence, I am very respectfully yours, 11.

He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertioti, t>rat in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict ly followed and out. In a great many cases a single dose has beeJ sufficient foe a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per fect restoration of the general health. It is, however prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af ter the disease has been checked, more especially ia difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medl c*n® will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require a cathartic! medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETA BLE FAM’LY PIILS will be sufficient.

Druggist, WAITEHALL STREET, ATLANTA, GA . feb*2Q, 1869m>1 y Editor and Proprietor. v [For the Cartersville Express. llow Shall Tlie South he Built pP? Under the head of “Immigration to the South,” the New York Turf, Field and Fann, gives the following facts, which are so important and significant that no apology is necessary for quo ting the article in full: “The Southern people have opened their eyes to the importance of foreign immigration. They have a beautiful country, genial climate arid broad acres of fertile land, but labor is scarce in proportion to the extent of territo ry. Without abundant labor there cannot be large production; and it is production that makes national wealth. The war emancipated the slave, and with the end of slavery there has been a rapid decrease of the labor ing force of the South. Emancipation removed a dark blot from our institu tions, but whether the suddenness of the act benefitted the black race is open to question. It is certain that the freedman is not so blessed with health as was the slave. Those who enjoy good health do not fall into ear ly graves, but they pass through the silver of life before making their exit from this mundane sphere. And be ing healthy and living long they repro duce themselves and multiply in num bers instead of decreasing. The stern logic of statistics shows that the condi tion of the negro has not been improv ed by sudden emancipation. Since he has been a freedman he has been dying at an alarmingly rapid rate. We say alarming, for the great mortality has seriously reduced the-productive pow er of the Southern States. Labor is what the South stands in need of, and yet month after month, the laboring force of the section grows smaller and feebler. In South Carolina alone, in the four years that succeeded the clos ing of the war, there was an evapora tion in the colored population of 35,- | 107 souls, or 8,776 per annum. Prior to the war the slave population of the j State not only maintained its maxi-1 mum strength, but increased at the rate of about 2,000 per year. These j are significant facts. At the rate of , the present mortality it will take only j forty-four years to render the black. man extinct in South Carolina. And what is true of South Carolina is true of other late slave-holding States. — Men who have taken the trouble to ponder the figures realize that some- j thing must be done to the threatening danger. If the South wishes to be great and strong through the development of her natural re sources, she must take some steps to supply anew laboring force and anew productive power, The truth is dawn ing upon the minds of her people that white labor must take the place black labor, and that the army of la borers must be recruited from foreign shores. They see that foreign immi gration has chiefly made the North what she is, that it has enabled her to anticipate her natural growth by near ly half a century, and they propose .to profit by the lesson. The colored population is dwindling away, and fair fields must not lie idle, must not be overgrown with weeds, when there are tens° of thousands^ of stout workers in overcrowded Europe anxiously waiting opportunity to carve out anew fu ture in a land where there is a pros pect of labor meeting with its just re ward. Heretofore the South has repelled these laborers. Slave labor was the death of free labor, and, there fore, immigrants turned their faces resolutely from the Southern States. — But the war has changed the whole order of things. The South is now open to an army of workers, and the people invite the laborers to settle among them. South Carolina, the most autocratic of the old slave pow ers, takes the lead in giving encour agement to foreign emigration. She invites the poor laborer to come and fill up the waste places, and promises to extend every protection to him.- And yet, the problem of foreign immi gration to the South is surrounded with practical difficulties. Some of these difficulties were briefly stated by Prof. Maury in his letter to the Con vention heid at Charleston in May last. “There is, as you are aware,” wrote the Processor, “a strong preju dice in the minds of European immi grants generally against the South, owing to their educated ignorance with regard to us. They think that we al ways despised labor; that we hate the laborer, and look down upon his occu pation with contempt. They are still taught to believe, and many of them do believe, that if they were to come to the South they would be made slaves of instantly. There is another large class of them who believe that the Southern people are a lawless and semi-barbarous set; that the South ern. climate is deadly to the white la borer, and that the negro is among ua only because the negro, and he alone, could endure our climate as a laborer. One of the tasks before us is to enlight en this ignorance and remove these prejudices.” The Convention gave thoughtful consideration to these views of Prof. Maurv, and it promptly voted P rent lit m lor Subscribers. o will give anv man n sntonriitf iu'xs silver Watch, worth $2(1.00, who will j-cnd ns th« names of Fifty Subscribers with #IOO. will give any man anew #25.00 Sad dle who will do the same; or a #l2.ooSaddle, who will send 25 nam '•> with #50.00.

IXO. 13. to take steps to remove the prevailing prejudice. It was decided to form in each county of the State a Laiid Im migration Society in order the whole people might move reacpY co operate in the movement. It was also recommended that each of these soci eties secure certain tracts of land, to be divided into small farms, to be sold or given to immigrants as the exigen cies of the case might require. The Convention was deeply in earliest, and if the people at large sustain its action 1 much will be done toward making im migration to South Carolina a fixed fact. The State oilers superior in ducements to immigrants. It is favor ably situated, is mid-way between the frozen regions of the North and the heat of the tropics, and it possesses great variety of productions. Cotton, wool, silk and flax can be grown with little expense and the ordinary care; and the fertile soil yields large crops of Indian corn, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, &c. Game abounds in the woods and fish in the streams and the ocean.— So within the borders of the State, an industrious people can produce all the leading articles of clothing and food, and when tired of work amuse them selves with rod and gun. The topo graphical condition of the State is re markable. Wheat and sugar-cane grow side by side, and the olive and orange ripen under the same sun. To take advantage of these blessings there must be more workers in the State than now. Immigration will make a new power of South Carolina; and what foreign immigration can do for all the other Southern Suites. Once fairly start the. tide of immigration Southward States, and fifty years from now a black face will almost be un known in that section.” But while an increase of laborers is necessary to ensure the prosperity of the South, more is needed. We need improved agricultural implements and all kinds of labor-saving machinery, so that more and better work can be done with a smaller laboring force. We need to diversify our labor, so as to feed and clothe our owm population, instead of purchasing everything a broad and exhausting our soil to furn ish cheap clothing to the world. Asa writer in a late number of tlio Atlanta Period very truly remarks— “ She (the South can never become prosperous as long as she expends all her energies and means in raising cot ton to purchase meats, bread, flour, mules, fertilizers, etc?., at higher prices than she can make them at home.” Such utterances as these have been so often made that they have become rather stale atid common place. But they must be made again and again— must be repeated over and over, until put into practice. Increase of laborers and labor-saving machinery is very im portant and desirable; but diversity of labor —the building up of home manu factories—the retention and expendi ture of our means among ourselves are absolutely essential to our prosperity. Besidse the development of our ma terial resources by the means indicated, we should build up and sustain our educational institutions, and foster a literature of our own. This literature should be independent but not licen tious—pure and yet progressive—con servative but not old-fogyish. „ White we avoid the dangerous mns that have undermined morals and disorganized society in some parts, we must not. cling too tenaciously to prerogatives, and distinctions having their origin in. a state of things which has passed away with slavery, the basis of such distinctions and prerogatives. Our press should be literal, as well as progressive. Because humbug ad venturers seek by various means to make the press subservient to their selfish, and often immoral designs, this is no reason why our papers should re fuse to notice, freely, and without so licitation, enterprises that conduce largely to the public good, though by so doing private interests might be in cidentally promoted. I think the editor of the Albany News takes a proper view of this subject when he says: “Great enterprises, though private, are not objectionable as matter for letters. Men who build up cities and develop resources deserve our assistance.” And I may add, whether the men themselves are wor thy or not, the enterprises in which they are engaged are often.of such im portance as to merit notice, independ ently of The character of those engaged in them. • • - ■ For example the “Cotton and Wool en Mills,” near Marietta, are manufac turing, as we learn from an editorial
