Ab, deeping! many ot them by the streams and in the valleys of Georgia. They are sleeping on the bank* of the deep rolling M‘s rissippi; they are sleeping all over Vir'inia, g.. under than the Egypt r.int rich er than the mines of India. (Embusinslio cheers ) Spirit oi out and ported brutes, we ate not dishonored yet! and though the vi’c, the low, the cnriupt and the purjured are seeking to be our tuU-r", and have seised upon our high places, the noble, the valiant and the ttue are still lift to us, and through all our t.ordeis are taking courage and hymning the notes of coming triumph. Ye mist able spawns of political aic«deiicy, hatched by the putrid growth of revolutionary coirupliou ia -10 an ephemeral existence—renegades from ivery law ul God aud vialetora of every light of man—we serve you with notice this day, that thi9 victory is touting. The men of the South and the melt of the Nt rth—patriots ev ery whete—are sendiag up their vows to heaven that this is and shall forever be a Union of equal States, and never a Imteiul Uuion of urn qual States. (Wild cheers, last ing several minutes ) Men of pride, men of character, women —thank God—without a dissenting voice, and even children in their plav-ground?, are proclaiming on hill top and in valley that those whom God inaile supet ior shall oot be degraded to tbe dominion of the inferior. A few more words and I will close. I f , as I now bofe and believe, we shall again have liberty ami law nnder the Constitu'ion, what shall be done with those who have taken ad vantage of these corrupt times to insult inno cence, trample upon rights, and oppri-RS helplessness? These crinvnaU will be among ns, and must be assigned appropriate posi tions. What shall we do with them? Yewha have trav icd through the hi >od and losses ands trows of war for asserting nothing hut what the very framers of the Constitution taught was your right; ye who hate breu taunted aud reviled as rebels aud taitors; ye who have been disfranchi-ed in the land of your fath ers and made exiles in the heme of your birth When this victory shall conuo and we shall once n ore be free men and no longer insulted and oppressed by miserable vagabonds and renegades, what shall we do with the criminals? I would not hurt a hair of their bead*, do them no personal harm - and tie; rive them of no right. Give them over— ob, give over the miscreants, to the iu tatinguishable b«ll of their own con sciousness es infamy. But some things you must do for the protection of your children, and of yourselves, and for the vindication of your honor. I atfi-n it, and I want it hoard. It is going to be the law of this country and a law in ire irrepealable than the laws of the Mede-t and Persians. Not one man that dares record his vote for the inequality and vassalage of the Southern Stat B aud the degradation of his own race ought ever to be received into a decent family in Georgia or in the South-now or here after [dries of “never."] Ana ibis rule we can make now. If we have no the power to help make the laws for our government or for society, thank God we cap at least passßOcial laws for our own homes. I charge you this day, aa you Honor your children and your heusehold, and would preserve yonr good name for your posterity, never suf fer a single native renegade who votes for the va s:ilage of these Sta'etand ihe disgrace of your children and yonr race to darken your doors or to speak to any number of your family. [Cries of “good,’‘that’s right,’ ‘hurrah.’] You condemn tho poor vietim to the peni tentiary who-steals a horse or a hundred dollars, and yet these miserable crea tures have sought to bargain away eve rything that you have or can value.— You scorn the criminal who has viola ted the penal laws of your country.— These miserable renegade are faithless to every law of Heaven and of carth r and have used every means to sell yon to those who hate you and to place your lives and yofir all iD the power of the ignorant aod debased Another thing I insist shall be done : A people who will not resent such foul innovations o? their right are not worthy of freedom. [A voice ‘true. 1 ] You have been help less—your great m»n have been si lenced ; you surrendered your arms to what y u thought was gal’ant foe; you surrendered them under tbe assurances of protection, and yet these men, your own citiz >ns many of them, who harried you to war have taken ad vantage of your poverty and helpless ness, and of the presence of the bayo net ; they have invaded your households, they havo stolen your property ; they have robbi and yea of year goods tie? tare joined the negro and the stranger to tax, insult and oppress you ; they have, contrary to the lows of the land, forced into dungeons and before military com missions tbe proud freemen of this country. You havo been powerless to prevent these things. Bnt my vow is recorded, and I shall redeem it if T find the people willing to sustain me. Men who have trampled upon the rights of the citizen* of Georgia at a ttmo when the laws were paralized shall feel the power of that res'ored law when liberty is reawaked. Ye vile miserearis of the Convention, who stole the money of the State to pay yonr per diem, I give yoi.’ notice that yon shall pay it back And there is a legal principal which I want you to remember, and that is that where » number of men band themselves to getLer for the commission of a common purpose, each one is responsible for what all the others do or get. [Tre mendous cheering.] Aod, therefore, every man who took a portion of that stolen money is liable for every cent that tegroes and carpet baggers received and we arc going to make them pay it. Ye constitution makers, ye men that sprung atone bound from the peniten tiaries of the country lo frame Consti tutions for honest people,ye men who oscillate from grand jury rooms with charges of perjury upon you up to l«gis lative balls and other high plooes in the land, I serve you with notice to-diy that tb? money shall bo repaid with [the interest. And you who are depriv ing the people of iibcity, threatening and conspiring against tin ir lives, (hold me responsible f r what I say) l te.l you that the day is coming whanth. Judges shall be in the t risouers’ box and the persecutors shall he clamoring for mercy. “Thou shait not take tho life tr liberty or properly oft citizen except according to the l-ws of she land and by the jufgdement of his peers," is the first and great commandment in liberty’s dialogue, and upon it all the other coiotuandmont hmg. Itw.sgivm in cjr>:ef'nioD from power t> the people more than six hundred years ago at the political Horeb of Anglo-Saxon history, and no man from that day has violated or disregarded it who was not a tyrant or a traitor, or both. [Great cheers.] No man in Eoglish history ever tram pled upon those sacred rights without being called to account. Wicked men have the power now ; they have bayo nets to protect them, and they feel they can insult and eppross with impunity forever. I So did Judas feel safe when he helped eat tbe L rds’s supper with the Lord. Catalino held power in Home. Arnold once held a commission in the Ameri -1 can army. And y >u—you vile crea tures, whose iufamy no epithet can de scribe aud no precedent parallel—you wiil find your names more odi< us than those cf Gatalioe an -1 Arnold combined [lmmense applause and long laughter.] Keturn then, the day of grace is almost passed. Reform now and wc will for give you. Ido not want a single man rxeejt r carpet bagger to vote for the Chicago platform. And you members of the Legislature, I will talk to you kindly—you who voted for this infamy the other day—tho Fourteenth Amend ment—mark what I tell you. At the p ril of your rcspcctab ltty, go and take it back. It is a record whose stain will re; oh ycur children. And you, wh) call yourselves Dem ocrats, and who yet are lying arouDd here seeking and bargaining to get office from a Legislature which every line of Democratic principles declares to be ao illegal and illegitimate body, shame, shame upou yon. If this usurping Gor vernor and Assembly had sufficient re gard for tbe country’s welfaro to tender posi’ims would jrescDt a question for «e --rious consideration While I will not condemn those who differ with me, I must bepermited tr say for myself that no earthly consideration or power could induce or force me to so far recogn ze than as to accept an office at their hands. For myself, I held them to be nothing but wicked, wilful and corupt usurpers of power, by authority of none butstran gers aod deluded oegroes; and wanton conspirat irs to subvert tie legitimate government of our State, and as such I shall hold myself in readiness to visit up.n them, by proper legal process, the penalties due to their crimes. Ido not, of course, include in then; remarks the Democratic mombeis. These are there to prevent the mischief I announce. Tbeir positions arc necessarily unpleas ant. But they are making sacrifices by tko rotoj of uar }0 'plc,auU aic patriots, doing all tbe good they can, or rather preventing all the evil they can, and merit our regard. But those who vol untary come f rward to bi g office of such a body, above all, thoso who, either in the Legislature or out of it, make bargains with Kadical usurpers to got office for themselves or their friends— to all such I repea*, shame, shame up on you. One thing more will be necessary to a proper expression of the abhorrence of our people so - the infamous attempt to destroy the Uuion by destroying tho equality of the States, and for the meas ures, authors and advocates of this whole scheme tn degrade the States and people of the South. When liberty shall return, when the law shall be again respected, and good men shall again be our rulers, we must gather ail the jour nals, and constitutions, and enactments and records of every character of tbe conventions and assemblies, thus forced upon us by force and fraud, aud usurp ation, and, tatching fire from Hoaven, burn them up for ever ! And right here, my eouDtrymcD, I want you to understand that 1 am a candidate for but one office on earth. [Several voices “name it aod you shall nave it.”] When tbe glorious day shall como and the free women, and the tree men and tbe laughing children and tho proud youth of Georgia, shall gather together to fire tbe miserable, hideous record of infamy, let the office be mine to kindle the flames* [Tremendous cheers lasting several minutes ] That, is all I want. I would have my chil dren know, I would have my children’s children to know, if my humble life shall be remembered so long, that from first to last,.through thick aud through tbin, 1 fought this attempt to disgrace out people and that at tbe sequel 1 kin dled tbe fire that consumed tho iufamoue record of its cxistenoe. That will be a proud day, my countrymen, that will be a glorious day when you can look each other iu the face and feei as uo Grecian ever felt—as no Roman ever felt, that wc have passed through .he most trying ordeal in the anna aof humanity, aud, as a people, have ootne out gold—puro gold. Take courage, my couutrymen, that happy day shall come. Tbe Uuion of equal *States as made by our fathers ohalt be ours again. Tbe disunion cf 2 ej'tal States wh e'i Radical treason seexs to make shall not be. With the records of the vile attempt, wc will build the bonfire .of iae Gonslitution’s try umph. By its Light we shall read joy iu each others faces. Around the burn ing pile we shall gather our wives and little ones and strike up a Bcw soDg of our deliverance, and at tbe as“6»dtog smoke shall rise high in tbe skies, it w>H -wake the notes of our heroes in bliss, aud Heaven aud earth shall rtog with the uuivevsal symphony: ‘Well done !

Oac tide the feeling of love, which should units the common Lrothorhood in nno load of union, we are candid to admit that a irue policy prompts us to exton and the cordi 1 welcome to those who will come amongtt us and be one of us. Far it requires no l’hythonie power, nor still less, Ithuriel’s spear, to diviue events, that are destined to characterize the an nals of our future history, unless there be a change in our surronnding9. We are vet in the midst of revolution, not the tragic era when the cry is for bio id and tho darkuess of the hour is lighted up by tbe foam of general frenzy, but (here is b-iog waged a war ia tho moral elements, and that inevitably leads to political revolution. Human interest too often controls human action, aud whether it be tbe geueruus purpose and high resolve, or small and personal ad vantage, the principal gives something of its own strength to tbe minds that conceive it. Political virtue, alas, has become a kind of Utopian dream, des tined it seems never to bo realized, and tbe country is it'll in tbe leading strings of a party, whose every action, is ani mated, fomented, and maintained by ambition. But we would feign enshroud the Death’s Head that is high bung in the South’s grand picture gallery, and drape with Hope’s radiant robes an image which shall be the embodiment of our most sanguine dreams. We look not to Congress for the rcrlization of rights justly ours, for it has become an engine in the bauds of those, who carried away from all sober sense, by the wildest and most fanatical prejudice, are determined j that political persecution, and their own “god and morality principles,” shall be tbe chleflegacy that they bequeath to posterity. Georgia, though down trod | den ie Georgia still, and with the true spirit ot chivalry, that has ever placed her in the van, of all that is noble and grand, she yet aspires to assort her su premacy, and be reinstated in her native grandeur. To obtain this boon, there must be a development of her natural rosourocs and intrinsic advaafges. For eign or Northern aid must bring to light her almost exbaustless veins of wealth and garatness, for it requires a monied capital to do this, aod not at homo can this capital be fouud. Our hearts and homes are ready to receive those, who, casting aside all sectional a.nd party principles w llcomo hero and lend ft helping hand toward the reaiiDg of • new cdidco of power and might, up on tbe ashes of the old. To carpet baggers, scalawags, and Radical Bu reaus, we df:r no fellowship, indeed,an incrustation is formed over every ave nue of the heart, effectually barring their entrance, for their presence but j ereates a spirit of contempt, strife and animosity. But to Ibc enterp risirg »ad and pa | triotic capitalist of the North, who seeks his country's as well as individual wcl j fare, here is the field in which he may j labour. Our wide spread and valuable | lands are fast becoming a wilderness I for tho want of enterprising monied I men. Our manufactories n quire but an impetus to be giveu by gold or green backs to make them as fiourishmg and lucrative as any in this vast western domain. Our institutions of every grade which once ranked second ti none, are uow languishing for want of proper stimulus. We can but congrat u’ate ourselves, however, upon the brightening prospects around us, sot tho tide of emigration is turning to our State and we can already see the dawn of a better day Our immediate vicinity, and Terrell county, in general for some time, have been visited by men of tbe North, who have expressed a willing ness to cast tbeir lots amongst us, have igunred the present political status, and endorsed our deter uination to be an enterprising, independent aud free peo ple. To all such we bid a hearty wel come. And, to our lato visitor, Capt. Botsford of Conn., who purchased lauds aud expects soon again to be in our midst, to make a permanent home for himslcl and fimily, we uuite in wish ing abundant success and speedy roturn, with tbe hope that he may induce oth er* of like calibre to come with him, that our interest, maybe tueir interest, and our people, tbeir people.

Tlie President of a Loyal League Gives Ilia opinion of tlial institution. [From the fumter Republican.] Mr Editor'. — Allow me a column in your paper to announce to th« people of Sumter county my position politically. Formerly I was a memb r of the Union League of Americas and was President of tbe same. For several moo h 9 I have boen tliiokiog over my position, aud consulting with others in the best way I could, whde laboring on my farm and during my leisure moments, and after due rdLctian I have come to the couclu sion that said League is corrupt and dangerous (o the p ace aod good order of any town or neighborhood in a eivil iz and country where its meetings are held. For th ; s reason, andto'join with those who seem to me to be working for the best good of all persons in tho coun try, 1 hereby solemnly withdraw from jatd League, as a member nr Pretideat of the same. I shan’t disclose any of i»o ocorcto j hut to pronounoo (beta un sound and corrupt in thei. - tendencies Some may think aud will sav that I assumed this position because I was de seated as a candidate of this League in tbe last election. They are mistaken. I hope those who labor under such opiuions wil seoa be convinced that such is not true. It is a mere mental con viction of mind aod pure intention of heart that caused me to change my po.-i ' lion. With a full oonvictiou that Rad icalism would ruin the white race, and mine also, therefore, through tho sense of duty and for the protection of my race, I was forced to abandon those ne farioDS principles, and have nothing more to do with tho L'.aguers. After looking at the question fairly, I deem it more honorable aud better for myself and race, (I wish it understood that 1 am speaking of the colored race,) to con nect myself with the Democratic patty aod would advise them to do likewise. The Democratic platform allows all a fair chance and protects each class We are obliged to live together, aud what hurts the goose must hurt the gander too. and what is good fur the goose is good for the gander. The Radicals may think hard of mo for leaving their party, but honesty and justice force me so to act. There has been a great deal said about my leaving the[*-ty, and if the corrupt Radtc 1 party get the upper hand in this coud try, a great deal more will be said. But as I hope to live aDd die in tbe right, I appeal to my brethern of color especial ly, to give up their corrupt Leagues and go with me and connect themselves with an honorable party —I mean tbe Democratic—for the good of us all. 1 am a laboring mao, and work for what. I get with my own bands in tho field, I neither wait on bar-rooms nor engage in any other loafing occupation for my sup port. as a great many pretended Demo crats ot my race do. When they are to the white mao’s face they arc Demo crats, aod when they with the black men, they are notoiious Radieals.*-Bueh is wrong. 1 can prove my position by the best colnred and white citiz - ns of Americas. When connected with tbe Radicals, I fought for their principles because 1 then thought I was right. But having been convinced that I was wrong I am now opposed to its prineiples and connect myself with my white friends who arc tbe only ones that protect us. I have said so much about Radicalism I wiah now to say a word about the Ku- Klux Klan, and will say in the outset that I coodemn it wholly. I know noth i ing of its secrets, but it is said that tbe i Democratic party has it. If such he 1 so I beg the party to drop it and have j nothing to do with it whatever. I find all such secret institutions injurious to j the country. In conclusion, I would say to the white and colored iu tbe next campaign, to throw aside all of your secret pulitioal institutions, and express yourselves openly and publibly as to your political positions iu the next election. I think ! by that means we can harmonize the two tacos with more case, and that we will nil be united together more readily I on the great principles I now advocate. Yours Respectfully, Wji. Stvi.es. TUc Logic of Abuse. The New Y.nk Tribune , Forney’s Press, and tfic o_thcr cl eans aud expo rt nts cf Radicalism ns personified by (Irauttind G !&x, at expressed it the Chicago platform, give encouraging signs of tbrrr own consciousness of the weakness of their cause by the violence and scurrility of ibc abuite with which they daily assail tho loading Demoera s of the North aDd Bauth, When ] ar tios, liko individuals, feel that they are driven to abandon the logio of reason and of facts, and to employ the logic of abuse it is a sure sign that they feci they aro on the losing side. According to the Tribune, Seymour is a ‘-liar,” whose mendacity should be punished by a cowhide ; Blair in a ruf fian and a renegade ; Hampton is a red handed rebel, who evinces an unparal lelled audacity in presuming to take any part id the affairs of the Republic; and our own distioguisci citizen, Howell Cobb, is specially singled out as an ob ject of peculiar execration, because be presumed to respond to tho invita tion of his fcllow-oilizecs and express his cpinins upon the condition of the country. The object of this foul language and thoso infamous slanders is to excite the fears and tho passions of tho people of the North, and to make them believe that because Cobb, and Hampton and others, were prominent in their advoea cy and support of the “lost cause,” that they have not accented the situation) but are laboring now as then to dissolve the Union and precipitate tbe country into another war, and that this is the meaning—this tho purpose of the dem ocratic party, should they succeed in ob taining power. The Radicals feel that they are upon ; trial before the grand inqiust of the American people. They feel that the popular verdict will eon lemn their usur pation", despotism, corruptoin, extrava gance, and open violations of the Gon j sti»u - ion. Tbpy feel that tl-c popular ; verdict will pronounce their so-called j measures for tbe reconstruetion and [ restoration of the Uuion as cala mitous failures. They feel that the eyes ot the people have been opened to their hypoertey, selfishness, and revo lu ionary acts, and they feel that the voice of tho people demands their being driven from power, and their being compelled to surrender the goverr rn nt into honcster and more patriotic hand--. If th' II idicals could scare the people into the belief that there is greater dsn ! eer of ‘ a renewal af tho rebellion” by the accession to influence and power of I the Southern leaders, than there is of - danger ?o the C mstitunton and Govern meut from the renewal of their lease of office, they will have attained tho i b ject of tbeir abuse anl misrepresenta tion. Therefore it is, if a iStuthorn naan of any note takes any part in the present contest, the howl of abuse goes up at once from the whole Ilvd’cal pack) and the more prominent the Southern man the louder the howl, the more foul the abuse, the more maliciously and in ingcnuonbly false the misrepresentation If a Southern man denies the justice or legality of'he reconstruction acts, the people of tho North aro lDs’antly told that the rebels are again “sapping the foundations of the republic.” If he venturi s to censure a Georgian of South Carolinian who for filthy lucre went to Chicago and there agreed to the Radi cal doctrine that tbe nigger ia good enough to rule Georgia, but not good enough to vote 'n Ohio, the Tribune straightway points to the “villain*’ who is again “attempting the life of the na tion ;” and if he ventures to disapprote of the freedmen’s Bureau as a “benevo lent institution,” or to doubt the capac ity of corn-field negroes to vote, sit on juries, and fulfill legislative trusts, the Radicals’ fury is in a blsze, and the men who fought to save the Union are called upon to see to it that “the results of the war are not surrendered to the rebels” who fought to destroy it The Southern man who speaks or aets during this canvass, and is not de nounced as a traitor, ruffian, thief, mur derer,&j., by tho Tribune and its oo iaborers, must not only be an avowed Radical, but he mu3t say he loves the Kadical, tbeir man servaot and their maid servant, their ox and their ass.— Tno second artioie of his creed is that the negro is, aDd of right ought to be the superior of the ruler of him and bis people, while he is not good enough to have any political right in Michigan or Kansas. He must talk, aud write, and work, and pay his money, to elect to the highest representative offices— indeed to every offiea of trust and crnol. urnent—dishonest army sutlers, carpet baggers, and adventurers, who havejust escaped vagrancy by being made Bu reau agents and tax-gatherers, ami Southern men who have agreed to be i tray the interest of their country, and | cast dishonor on their fellow citiz ms, in order to secure for themselves th. meaus of living without honest labor j If be fails in any respect to como up to the standard of loyalty, ho has fail'-a in the wbolo and is denounced from Dan to Bcrsbebi as a red banded robel» j Tbe honest ruassia at tho North, arc not infants to be deluded by tucb htpo critical cant aud mendacity; and those who really fought to preserve tho Uoion and tbe O institu'ion, can be do longer cheated into the belief that tho pasty which has practically diigolvcd tho one and confessedly acted of the o’.her, ought to be trusted any longer with the management of tho affairs of government. By those honest massep the acts and speeches of our representa tivo men wili be judged, and we have no fears as to the judgement, notwith standing the rabid denunciations of tbe Tribune and tho futtl mouthed scolding es Forney’s “dairies.”— At.

Comfnitteo : •» Gentlemen : Your* of tbe 27th in stant is received I embrace try first . leisure to reply I had supposed that si ence gnv» consent, and that no for mal communication was needed to sig nify my acceptance. It the wisdom of ant'qui’.y has pro nounced neutrality in civil dis-entions mcompa'tble with the duties of good citizenship, surely in this particular crisis, so full of perils and so fraught with hope for the Republic, indiffer ence or refusal to lend ad possible aid for the rescue of the country, would involve more than ordinary criminali ty. I accept tbe appointment, and feel honored t>y your choice of mo as an elector. Several of yonr committee w re delegates to the New York Con vention, and can testify with me the profound convictions and glowing pur poses of our Democratic brethren of the North, tn view of the perilous nnd sublime reap risibilities of the present hour It : urp ssod our most sanguine j IN r ovor, pv.-h(i(.n, in the hhtory of the countiy, have the old Democratic, altars appeared to ilanie with so blight a glow of unselfish and unmingled patriotism The South tnu-t and > what she can to hold up the hands ol the North in this groat effort for the liberties of both s< ctions I have very little pit ience with the language of sbu 1 >w far,(ties or petty fnlso alarms, 1 u it is painfully appa rent th .t we are face to face will), or ra her surrounded by, the most stu pendous political peril. We have, however, only re ched she capt of “Good Hope,” around which the tem pest thunder and fearful ] hantorus are to loom upwatd to the skies; hut where if we keep our band on the chart of the Constitution, the every whirlwinds that rend our canvas and threaten our wreck, wili only drive us the more rapidly on that haloynn sea on which fortune and felicity will attend oor sails and mark the termination of our voyage. But we are the perils that environ us? Why do we ask to displace the party in power? Because it tramples under foot till the tn/txims of liberty and all the tra ditions of the Fathers. Because it has inflicted taxation without representation, a tyranny at the bottom of every revolution in the history of the Saxon rp.co. Because it has enthroned military power nnd made civil government sub ordinate to the sword. Because it has practically changed the distinctive fea’ures of the govern ment, by subverting and setting aside two of its co ordinate departments, and dragged the Executive and Judiciary at the wheels ol a mad and reckless revolution. # Because tt has p’led a national debt high as the pyramids, which threatens like those monuments of despotism to become the tomb of tbe nation’s liber l y- Because its language is equivocal. When it says “Peace” it means “War” —war between tbe races at tbe South —and when it says “Union, ’’ it means ‘Disunion.’’ Because it has turned a deaf ear to the honest proUstatiovs of acceptance of the results of tbe war by the South, aDd made obedience to tLe behests of party, the only test of the loyalty of her people—thus discouraging the honorable and conscientious, and tempt ing by bribes of power, tbe weak aud ambitious. Because its ndltcy tends to perpetu ate ill-will between tt.e sections, uad to an inevitable war of races at tbe South. Finally because it has let loose and clouded the land will) a locust flight of wrongs nnd abuses which I have not time to particularize, and which could only live in the utmosphere of despotism. Believing, as I conscientiously do, that the success of the Radical party would defeat pacification, imnigugrate the reign of thesw-rd, and subvert the liberties of the land, f sbull con tinue, by all lawful means, to do my utmost for the defeat of its candidates and its principles. I conjure all who are proud of the name of “American citiz n,” and who sincerely desire to inaugurate an era of I good will among all the people, to j >in with us without regard to past differ ences, and labor sos the ioecess of the Democratic pasty; for its succea* means peace—harmony between the sections, justice to both races, and pros. 1 peri'y to our whale country.

I f"n«id your Vegetable Pain Killer a tree* valuable remedy for ibat fearful scourgd tbe cboleia. In administering tbe medicine, I found it. most effectual to give a teaspoonful’ of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweet ened with sugar; 'hen after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a tablespoonful of the same mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot application! to the ex tremities. Bathe tbe stomach with Pain Kil ler, Clour, and rub tbe limbs briskly. Ol those who bad the cholera and took the medicine faithfully in ibe way stated above, ciaht oul ot ten recovered. Truly yours, R. TtLreRS.

A list was kept ol all to whom the “Pain Killer” was g ven, an oar native assistants asaurea as that eight ou of every ten to whom it waa prist rib) and re covered.
