DR. O. S. PROP HITT:

seemed to do any good. Sometime ago I procu

cording to directions, has affected a complete
cure. Respectfully, &c., GEO. L. THOMAS.
CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 24, 1868.
I have used Dr. O. 8. Prophitt’s Liver Medi
cine as a tonic, and found it to be powerful and
efficacious. It is excellent for functional de
rangement of the Liver or constipation of the
bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity
of a regular course of mediciue.

DR. Q. S. PROP HITT:

confident that it is good for anything for which
it claims to be an antidote. Verv respectfully,

DR. PROPIIITT:
Having a severe attack of Dvsentf ry during
the past summer, I was induced to use your Dy

Pain Kill It.
This is the celebrated medicine that run Perry
Davis’Pain Killer out of the market, wherever
it was sold. Davis made Prophitt change the
name from Pain Kilier to PAIN KILL IT.

best thing yon can use as a dressing.
For Snake Bit os or Stings of Poisonous Insects,
it is a perfect ANTIDOTE.
It is good for Colic, Colds, Coughs, or Bowel
Complaints. Its name indicates its nature fully.

Allow me to call your attention to my
Preparation Compound of
Extract Buchu.
The component parts are BUCHU
LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER
BERRIED
Mode of Preparation.— Buchui in
vacno. Juniper BerrU-s, by distillation, to form a fine
gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits
spirits obtained from Junip r Berries: very little
sugar Ls use t, and a small proportion of spirit. It is
more palateable than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a light color.
It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a
fl tme destroys this (its active orlnciple,) leaving a
dark and glutinous decobtibn. Mine is the color of
ingredients. The Buchu in. my preparation predomi
n»tes; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients
>-re added, to prevent fermentation ; upon inspec
tion, it will be found not H, be a Tincture, ns made
in Phartnaropoea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore
can he used in cases where fever <>r inflammation ex
ist. In this, you have the knowledge of ihe ingredl
ents and the m j.ie of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor <t with a trial, and that
upon inspection it vlll meet with your approbation
With a feeling of confidence,
I am very respectfully yours,

fFor the Ezpruss.
Address to Ihe I2ud Congress.
Assembled sages, managers of State,
On you, depend a mighty nation’s fate;
To you a prostrate people look for aid.
Whilst mingled hopes and fears, their breasts
pervade.
Oh look ye back, athwart the page of time.
And note our country in her youthful prime’;
Through all her vales, her mountains, and her
plains,
Was heard contentment, in rejoicing strains;
Then liberty and peace together smiled.
And made our land fair freedom’s favorite
child.
This happy scene, onr rulers wise, surveyed,
For this had all their varied laws been made;
They had accomplished well, their work pro
found,
In all the system fair, no flaw was found;
No clause, they thought, was worthy t* be
changed,
In equal rights, the States were all arranged.
Each in the other, some true interest found, !
And in one fabric grand, the whole was
bound,
Nor war, nor want, in all the land remained i
1 ut sweet content in peaceful triumph reign
ed.
Such was our country, in her happy days,,
Basking ’neath freedom’s ever genial rays.
But harsh fanatics, with detractions loud,
Cast over all, a darkiy lowering cloud;
Peace, weeping, shi ieked, and banished from
our sight—
Wrapt were our glories in tartarean night.
The cl imes of war, I shudder to relate,
Its woes, its horrors, its demoniac hate.
But such is war, ’tis useless to complain,
Misery and want are its attendant train;
Let us forget It, and by reasonings wise,
Assist onr country to again arise; i , r ; *i
It is for you, in counsel to exclude
All laws, but those of universal good.
Let factions cease, let justice rule the day,
Then will the States, beneath her equal sway
Be joined in love, in interest and in peace,
Through all the land, unhappiness will ceaie.
Our country’s honor will then be renewed,
Our wondrous laws, by other natiou's viewed,
And envied, too, for their unbounded good.
Then wreathed will be your names in fadeless
lays, : <
And live forever in your country’s praise.

Rabbits in Gardens.
At this season of the year rabbjts
are very annoying to gardeners and
nurserymen, because of the depreda
tion on tender plants and the bark of
young trees. Therefore, it is necessa
ry to protect these, and every means
that promises success are eagerly ap
plied by those who are interested, to
effect the purpose of protection. We
are informed by a reliable gardener
that rabbits never barber about or fre
quent a place that has a smell of blood
in the vicinity. He has found perfect
safety for his plants by scattering
blood around the edges of his garden
and orchard. The blood serves for a
frightener so/ several weeks. —Our
Home Journal.
A Case of Suicide.
In our last issue we mentioned the
fact that a woman’s body had been
found in a creek near Bed Clay, and
that it was supposed that she had been
violated and then murdered. .Since
then we have learned several facts,
which, together witha ttendant circum
stances, convince us that she commit
ted suicide. The facts, as we received
them, are about as follows:
In the afternoon of the day preced
ing tiie one on which the body was
found, the young woman, whose name
was Huffacre, asked her mother to per
mit her to attend a ball that was to be
given that night. Permission not be
ing granted, she proceeded to some
household matters and uppearantly in
different to her mother’s refusal. But
while thus engaged she stated to her
younger sisters that she was under the
impression that she would die soon
and if so, she would give them all her
clothes. She did not, however, inti
mate any intention of committing sui
cide; and her sisters, therfore, paid but
little attention to, what they supposed,
her vagaries Whether any one saw
her leave the house or not, we did not
learn. Her absence, however, was no
ticed; and a search being instituted,
her body was found in a creek as sta
ted in our last issue. The marks of
violence which were on her person,
and led to the conclusion that her per
son had been ravished, were slightly
and evidently self-inilicted. Her shoes
were discovered lying on the bank
where she had drowned herself. The
creek in wnich her body was found
was small and very shallow—not be
ing more than two or three feet at the
place in which she met her death, I
which fact indicates that she had made
up her mind to die and had the nerve
to keep her head under water in order
to bring about dissolution.
What motive could have prompted
her to commit suicide, unless it was on
account of her mother refusing to per
mit her to attend the dance* we can’t
conceive. In view of the fact that she
attempted to destroy her life once be
fore, one would suppose her mind was
diseased, and that, at this particular
time in whicti she courted death, it was
in a deranged state. —Dalton Citizen.

Bullock** Insult to flic People of
the First Senatorial District.
•By the, following correspondence it
will be seen that Bullock's appointee
as Judge of the District Court of this
Senatorial District, James M. Sfimhs,
has the audacity io accept a position
for which he is utterly disqualified,
lacking every requisite of education,
character, or knowledge of the first
principles of lav, aud to aftemm to or
ganize the'Court. We sat andtftHy,
for Sims not olily knows that he 1 has
not the first requisite quotient ion for
the opt, ignorant ns he is, he
kuowsThai his appointment was a de-
liberately designed insult, offered by
Bullock to the Bar ftfid people of this
District, and-inflicted for the gratifica
tion of his moan malice at the sacrifice
of public justice, propriety and decen
cy* We have before expressed our just
indiguatiou at this most wantou aud
reckless outrage. The English lan
guage furnishes us no stronger terms
than we have used, iu which to express
our execration and contempt for the
miserable creature who, iu the malig
nity of his he art, to wreak his person
al resentment upon his betters, prosti
tutes the high office which he disgra
ces, and drabbles the ermine in the
slime aud filth of partisan hatred and
malignity, iguorauco, corruption and
venality. « *
By this infamous outrage, Bullock,
no doubt, hopes tb exasperate the re
sentment of our people beyond the lim
its of forbearance, knowing, as be well
does, that no soemm unity not trampled
under the heel of relentless and malig
nant despotism, would hesitate to re
sent such a shameless and unjustifiable
wrong. We trust, however, that in
this he will be disappointed, aud that
our people will show a reverence and
respect for the law which he has thus
wantonly ‘degraded and outraged, and
that 110 steps but such as are strictly
orderly, lawful and peacable will be re
sorted to. Resentawnt should not be
directed tOltfuards the vain, ignorant
negro who, in bis ridiculous vanity, has
permitted himsekffto be made a iooliof
more sagacious and blacker villi any.—
In his new role he-is capable of little
harm without the assistance and co-op
eration which he is not likely to have
even from his o*n party. Let the ig
norant little puppet play his part. He
will soon discover his error in permit
ting himself to be made the dupe of
Radical knavery and rrialignity.
By the correspondence which we pub
lish below verbatim, it will be seen tnat
Mr. Mills, to whom Bullock had the
cool effrontery to tender the appoint
ment of District Attorney, has indig
nantly returned bis commission with a
withering rebuke which would bring
a hot blush of shame to any other
cheek than that of this infamous crea
ture to which it is addressed. «
It would be no compliment to Mr.
Mills to say that his course in the mat
ter was just what Was expected of him.
No honorable man could have done
less, and he may be sure that his let
ter, manly and indignant as I> is, will
be endorsed by every true man in this
and every other community:

Hon. R. B. Bullock, Gov. of Georgia :
Dear Sir: I have, through post of
this day received’ from Jas. M. SifnVhs,
your appointee for Judge of the First
District, an official, written notifica
tion, under the seal of the State, in
forming me of my appointment as Dis
trict Attorney of the First Senatorial
District.
Whilst I should be pleased to fill the
office in question under a Judge of
high character, possessing good legal
1 attainments and intellectual culture, I
cannot for a moment ehtCifain the
monstrous proposition of accepting it'
under the embryo Judge appointed- for
the portion. Xu this connection I may;
say that I have no desire to misinter
pret the motive of your Excellency in
the above appointment, but cannot re- 1
frain from the opinion that it must!
have been done as a purposed insult
to myself, and through me to the Bar
of the Eastern Circuit. If Ibe coriect
in this opinion I despise the effort.
Whilst I have never known or seen
so. as.
The female alligator will not allow
the male to approach her nest. He
has a gluttonous habit of eating all the
eggs, thus necessitating her. laying
more, which she does not like to dtx—-
So, whenever she catches him in that
neighborhood she thrashes him ou
general principles—he has either done
mischief or intends it; at auy rate, he
is meddling in domestic matters, and
deserves suubbing. I'm,told that it is
really amusing to sec the big bully
stick his tail between his legs and
sneak off, the very image of a hen-peck
ed husband, after one of those conju
gal scoldings. He is not by any means
a model husband; and although fie
takes his thrashing kindly, he reven
ges himself by Watching Until lbe eggs
are really hatched, ami then eats up
as many of the causes of the fondly*
dispute as he can catch. 'Young alli
gators don’t like to know their own
fathers.
1 heard of but few- instances where
these creatures have attacked grown
men; they aro fond of children, and*
show their attachment to the-offspring
of other people as they do their own.
In one instance, where a map on horse
back was crossing a ford, he was Seiz
ed by the leg, but when his dbg plung
ed in, the alligator left his leg, to tike
more delicate morsel. In another
instance, an aligator struck at the*
mule pulling u cart, and bit out two
spokes from one of the wheels, leaving
a tooth sticking in one of them as a
memento of the visit. He hurried off
with great speed, pn tpe. lookout, I
suppose for a dentist.
’Gators like dogs, pigs, and yemng
darkies. The dog is a speeial favorite.
The whine of an alligator is easily mis
taken for that of a puppy, and misleads
a young and inexperienced dog. A
wise Florida dog will not go boldly
down to the wafer to drink; he learns
by experience after having been eaten
once or twice. If the sffeue is open,
he will draw all the alligators to one
place by baiking, and then scamper
off to another place where the coast is
clear; or hb will -creep clown to a moist
spot, tail down, body crouched, eyes
skinned and ears up, pushing his paws
slowly before him to feel the water,
lapping it without noise, and then
sneaking away again.
The alligator has his uses; near ev--
ery house you find more or less swamp,
and in every swamp more or less alli
gator. I heard one lady complaiu
very much because some traveler had
killed her alligator. He lived near,
and killed snakes, frogs, young wild
cats aud other varmints; time he earn-
ed his board, and was constantly pro
tected; besides, he was useful in pre
venting young children from straying
too far from home.
This worthy creature is very much
fimligned, however, every theft of cat
tie is laid on his blimy back, and that
even when the cattle is found m the
woods and the entrails carefully taken
out and left behind. His eyes are on
the top of his head, and it is curious
to see the creatures swimming, along
with only his eyes floating above the
surface. He comes ashore to sleep in
the sunshine, and paying attention to
his sleep, becomes so dead to all sound
that a steamboat may come alongside;
then his astonishment when a bullet,
wakes him up, and the hurried way iq
which he scuffles into “o water, are
sometimes very ludicrous. Lippine<jfx

In-growing Toe-Iai!».
This most painful of the diseases i t
the aaife is caused by the improper
manner of butting the nail (generally
of the great toe,) and then wearing a
narrow, badly-made shoe. The iv i!
beginning to grow too long, rather -
wide at the corners, is trimmed around
the corner, which gives temporary re
lief. But then it begins so grow voider
in the side where i was'cut ofl; and,
as the shoe presses the flesh against
the corner, the nail cuts more aiaa
more into the raw flesh, which becomes
excessively tender and irritable. If
this state continue long the toe be
comes more painful and ulcerated,
and fungus (proud flesh sprouts up
from the sorest points. Walking
greatly increases the suffering, till pos
itive rest becomes indispensable.
Treatment —We omit all modes of
cutting out the nail by the root, and
all other cutting or torturing opera
rations. Begin the effort at cure by
simple application to the tender part
of a small quantity of perchloride of
iron. It is found in drug stores in a
fluid form, though sometimes in pow
der. There is immediately a moder
ate s nsation of pain, constriction or
burning. In a few minutes the ten
der surface is felt to be dried up, tan
ned or mummified, and it ceases to be
painful. The patieut, who before
could not pat his foot to the floor,
now finds that he ca i walk upon it
without pain. By permitting.the har
dened, wood-like flesh to remain fru*
two or three weeks, it can be ‘ easily
removed by soaking the foot in warm
water. , Anew and healthy structure

Jas. M. Simms until about one month

pointment your Excellency Las

of your administration. He is a dis
grace to your Excellency, and his ap
