They contain nothing poisonous or irjuri otis to the system, but are composed of en tirely vegetable substances. These Bitters make their entry in this country unheralded by any long advertisements, without puffs and testimonials, now so frequent throuffhom the country, for LIPPAfAN’S GRZ’AT GERJ/AN BITTERS stind solely on their merit*. Their virtues are in the bottle: In Germany, the home of these Bitters, no household can be found without them. For over a ceutury, since their first introduction in that country, no article hue been found to equal them in their quick and speedy curea of Genetal Dpb lity, Dispepsia, Ner vous Diseases, and Liver Complaint, and as a etrengthener and appetiser they are ac knowledged by the most emineut German Physicians, to whom these Bitters were first known, to be tbe bast, purest, and most wholesome preparation, and the most effect nal in their cures. Every One Should Give Them a Trial. For the married as well js the unmarried, we advise the tlmi-lv use of a bottle. It will save you davs of sufficing, cheer your spir its, and give you health and happiness. These bitters are now taking the place of the many American compounds flooding the market, because they are the genuine old German medicine, one that has stood the test of time, and are destined to become the favorite Bitters in America.

We |>ftl>ltsh Uolow a part of a speech delivered by Henry Boyd?, negro, at Carrollton, Mias. Read it: Mr Coloked Fkiends : I appn&Y jhere to-day in your interest alone. The ■ white man is able to take care of him i self; and, as you all can see, I have not one drop of white blood in my veins. [Laughter.] lam a regular old-fashionod, plaiu cornfield nigger, and have not the capacity to instruct white people as to their duties, evon if I had the will. I was a slavo from my birth; I always endeavored to servo my master faithfully, according to that letter of the Bible which reads : “Servants be obedient to your masters for this is right.” And I can lay my ; hand upon my heart to-day and sav, before God, that I entertain no ill will toward my old master and his sons, whom, I loved as my own brothers, and with whom I played in boyhood. In all our neighborhood romps and frolics and fights (for boys will fight), they 6tood at my back, and I did at theirs, whenever it came to the pinch [laughter], and thank God, I will do so yet. 1 will stand by them so long as they stand by me, whether tho op pression comes from tho Yankocs or Irom wheiever else it may. Whenev er it comes to my making choice be tween white men, 1 shall prefer those of my own section to all the capet-bag gers in the world. [Laughtor and applause ] Whito folks are all pretty much cut of tho same cloth ; and both sections have made their love for the niggers subsorvo their own interests. All men are selfish by nature and can’t hi ip it, and I can’t blame them. When the late war broke out, I am free to acknowledge, I was mighty glad of it. I felt that my freedom was going to come out of it some way or other, and, as I am, perhaps, us selfish as a white man, I tell you I didn’t—well, I didn’t cry much at the prospect. Well, when the first com pany left my county for “old Virginny” to light the Yankees, I enlisted with the balance of them, and went along as first cook and head waiter for one of my young masters. I had a pret ty good time too, for while tho whito folks Were out fighting and marching, and suffering and dying, I was laying back with the moat and bread wagons. [Laughter.] I felt, for once in my life, it was a pretty good thing to bo a nigger after all—for the white man wouldn’t let mo fight alongside of him, and, after I heard the first shell go off God knows I was not very anx ious to do it either. [Renewed laugh ter ] I knew if I had been along on tho Yankee side I wouldn’t have had sucli an easy time, for as selfish as the Yankee is, lie never objected to get ting somebody to do his fighting for him whenever he could Not he. [Loud laughter.] Some folks say he was willing enough to let tho South do it all during the Mexican war.— [Applause.] 1 used to bo right smartly amused hearing the white folks talk. My young master came in one night after a battle, and says ho, “Henry, we’ve just had a big six hours’ fight. W e whipped the d—d Yankees like smoke and drove ’em thirty-six miles.” Thinks Ito myself, “Humph ! pretty good drive—ail in six hours, too 1” pjut a heap of peopls think the nigger jg a fool. Well, I sorter thought, maybe, the Y ankces were really fighting to free the negroes. But they didn’t keep the wool over my eyes long. I watch ed ’em mighty close. One day tho news came into camp that Mr. Lin coln had done issued his proclamation, saying, that if Mr. Davis would lay down his arms and come back into tho Union and go ta paying tariff again, the Southorn people might have their niggers ! Thinks I, humph ! Mighty poor chance to get any freedom Irom you, Mr. Lincoln [Laughter.] I tell you what I felt mighty bad for a long time. I had the blues so bad I was almost black. [Laughter.] I think in two weeks I must have fell olf twenty pounds. I was so ’fraid Mr. Davis was going to do it I couldn’t sleep. But by and by the good word came that Mr. Davis said “he’d be d—d if he’d do any such thing. I ain’t fighting for the niggers. Let the niggers go. I’m after my own freedom first before anything else in the world.” I toll you my heart jumped right up in my mouth. Thinks I, bully for Jeff. Davis ! He’s my man ! Ah, my friends, if the Yan kees had been in Mr. Davis’ place you’d bocu iu the cotton patch to-dav, with whip after you, instead of sitting up hero in this court-house hearing mo speak. [Laughter.] But don’t you see the difference between the Southern man and the Northern man ? The Northern man never missed tho chance of taking care of the dimes first. And now tlie carpet-baggers come bore and tell us they are our friends, and the Southern people our enemies. They tell us they set us free. Oh, yes, they’ve done it all, no doubt.— They set us free about Hke they set the mules free ,- about like Ben Butler sot the spoons free [lmmense laugh ter and applause.} They done it all to help the Yankee, and to injure the Southern man. They can’t fool this nigger I know who brought the ! nigger to this country, in the first place, the Northern man brought us ; here, and when thoy began to lose ; money on the nigger they put the nig i ger in their pocket, sold him down ; South, and then to keop the South in i the Union to pay taxes, they turn a- S round and set the nigger and the mule and the spoons free, and they wouldn’t have set anything free (excepting tho spoons) if they could have got the South bank into the Union without it. They promise him tho “forty' acres and the mule.” 1 know five niggers that have starvod plum to death wait ing for that mule and that forty acres. [Laughter ] I’d like to know where the capot-baggor got his forty acres ! Yon »11 remember the devil took the Lord up into a high mountain, and promisod if he’d fall down and servo him he’d give him tho whole world, and tho scouudrel know all that time he didn’t own a foot of land on the continent. [Great laughter ] Tho carpet-baggers ask me to cast my vote to keop tho white folks down. Now all I over wanted was to got on a level with tho white man. I never wanted to got above him. They say a nigger is hotter than a whito man in Cincinnati. Well, that may be the truth in Cincinnati. But it ain’t true down hero. It is my interest to stand by the Southern man, and it is my wish, too. U hatever law is made to affect the white man’s plantation also affects my little plantation iu tho same way. The three cent tax on cotton hurts me worso than it does the white man. But it puts money in the Yan kees’ pocket They want to disfran chise tho whito man, and make the nigger put thorn in office, that they may have tixes and things their own way. They never would have passed a law allowing niggers to vote if they hadn’t thought tho niggers would voto the Republican ticket. Never ! Never ! Never I Who believes otherwise? Not this nigger, certain. The Yan kees brought the nigger here from Africa for selfish purposes, and now they want to vote him for selfish pur poses.” Cleburu before Hie Battle of Franklin. Jackson, April 27, 1870. In an ed itorial of yesterday you mention Gen eral Cleburne as the “central figure” in the battle of Franklin, and pro nounce his charge on the field to have been moro desperate than that of Mc- Donald at Wagram. That charge has a marked and glorious individuality iu the annals of the Army of Tennessee. It has always been accounted among tho soldiers as unsurpassed in despe ration and steadiness. It is not my purpose, however, to describe this feat of arms. Those who participated in it can better do that. I only desire to preserve from oblivion, if possible, an incident that preceded it many days. The desperation of that was premedi tated, so far as Cleburne was con cerned. The necessity and policy of meeting the enemy with superhuman courage as could only bo defeated by the annihilation of our columns, had evidently boon considered by him as the only chanco for relief from our military straights. During the march of tlie army from Georgia to Middle Tennessee we rested for a night and a part of a day at a small town, the name of which has now slipped my memory. After dark it was rumored that there would be spoaking at the quarters of one of the Generals' Boon the strains of a band of music indicated tho place, and a large crowd of soldiers and officers were gathered thero. Sevoral speeches wore made, abounding in those san guine expectations unusual in the camp of an advancing army even un der the most unpropitious fortunes. At last, after frequent calls and many importunities, General Cleburne ap peared and commenced addressing the crowd. He gavo.tho reasons why he thought our cause just in a few pithy sentences, exceedingly homely in style, for he was not an orator. He then commenced a sort of lecture to tho soldiers on tho best method of fighting. His directions #ere accu rate and dogmatic as the instructions of a martinet, yet as anthusiaotic as the rallying cry of a Paladin. The main drift of his remarks was to convince the soldiers that in mak ing a charge it was tho safest course to preserve, and by all means, novor to retreat after they had advanced un der the fire of the enemy, but to stead ily and rapidly advance to tho objec tive point In conclusion he made what I considered at the time almost a vow. The precise words he uttered cannot now bo rocailed by me, but they meant all that is couched in the following language. The substance was this: “Tho next charge I lead j shall accomplish tho object intended, if it costs me my life.” There was not the slightest bravado in his man ner. He was calmly but fearfully earnest. The remark ran round tho group in which I stood that the next battle would be a bloody one. Tho ; next charge be led was at Franklin. ! —Memphu Avalanche. T. W. Baowy. How Trch.—Donn Piatt writes to tho Cincinnati Commercial: ‘Tbe wonderful energy exhibited by the southern people in struggling up from tho utter ruin that followed tho late civil war is one of the marvels of! the day VV hile contending against the blundering, unjust acts of recon struction, originating in hate and con- ! tinued through greed, that deprived them of a voice and vote in laws now involving the business interests of tho entire country, the people havo strug glocT manfully and with success to a certain extent to restore tho national prosperity of their region. In this no aid whatever has been given by the General Government. On the contra ry, its acts have been aggressive to ! the last extent, and it is no exaggera tion to say that the Government ot Washington has wrought more inju ry to the South since the war than it was able to effect during tbe conflict of arms.

Vicksburg an and Brunswick Rail Roatk The Board of Directors of this Road closed a contract on last Saturday, the 7th inst., with Messrs. Bradley, Pan pot & Cos., for the building and equip ping the entire line from Eufaula, through Clayton, Troy, Greenville and Camden, to tho Eastern boundary of tlie State of Mississippi, on the i route to Meridian. The contractors | are gentlemen of undoubted response I bility and large experience in-'rail road building. VV e are glad to know also 1 that the contract was let on terms very favorable indeed to the road.— Mr. Pappot has just completed liis contract for building the road fro to Thomasville to Albany, and the con tract for the V. & B. R. R., having been signed yesterday, we may confi dently expect that between now and the 4th day of July next, a very largo force will be at work on the grading between this point and Clayton. All those who have ftoted at all in! this matter have acted decisively, and for the road, and the speedy construc tion of the entire line is secured beyond a shadow of doubt, provided, the coun ties on the lino that have not already voted for subscription, shall do’ so at the approaching elections. Let tho great chain which is to con nect us with the other ocean, and from the torrainii by sea with the oth er hemisphere, bo extended. Con gress favors a Southern Pacific Rail road, and it is strongly proba de that we will not always be roquirod to look to individual, County or State aid for the accomplishment of this grand un dertaking, but the strength of tho na tion will be brought to bear, that such evils may be corrected as results- from having located the Northern Pacific Road through a region so cold as to dostroy to a great extent its usefulness. Tho consummation, in which- have' met tlie wishes of so many, is already grand, and for it our thanks are due to the untiring efforts of the Presi dent Col. Eli S. Shorter. He has la bored continually that he might com pass the entire line at ono time, anil thus insure its speedy construction.— He has accomplished his purposes.— Let Montgomery Croakers, and home “mouthers” and every body else who predicted that riot a milo of the Road would ever be built, “hold their peace.” To Brunswick on the east and San Diego on the west we send our most hearty congratulations. Through then! on through the cities of Europe and Asia EujtUiUi heyins to move. Hurrah for the Bluff City that looms up in the certain future.— Eufaala News.

A man in Montana a short time ago squatted on another person’s land and built a small frame shanty. When requested to remove, he * positively refused to do so; so one night a squad of men canoe round, after the sqatter and his wife were asleep', and, lifting the whole concern, shanty and all, with deliberate care earned it to the river and set it on a small raft. Then they pushed the raft out into the stream aud let her go. When the squatter got up in the morning to go out he was surprised to find himself about sixty miles down the stream, and mak ing good timo in a nine-knot current. The squatter observed to his wife that if he evor got baok to bis old home, war would probably be organised on a most fc.midable scale.
