containing a special dispatch from
Pera, dated yesterday afternoon,
which says intelligence has been re
ceived from Shumla that on Wednes
day the Russians attempted to cross
the Danube at Reni. They threw a
bridge over the river, but were met
by Turkish infantry and artillery,
assisted by three gunboats. The
bridge was broken, and a large num
ber of Russiaus killed or captured.
The Russians were completely de

Said Pasha, his aide-de-camp, to
thank Layard, British minister.
Two Turkish gunboats bombarded

A Reminiscence or eiemmen.
New York, May 7.—A cable dis
patch conveys the intelligence of the
death of Henry Sawyer, for twenty
three years U. S. Consul at Parima
ribo, Colony of Surinam, South
America. The immediate cause of
his death was injury received a few
days before at ttie hands of a sailor
of whom, in his official capacity,
Sawyer had been called upon to take
cognizance. The sailor struck him
a violent blow and otherwise mal
treated him, inflicting such internal
injuries as to result in his death. At
the time Sernmes was in command
of the privateer Sumter, he put
in at Surinam for coal and sup
plies. Sawyer quietly bought
up all the coal in ttie city, so that
the rebel commander was unable to
get a lump. A planter offered to
furnish Sernmes with a quantity
which he had on his sea-shore estate,
whereupon Sawyer hired all the
scows, punts aud boats in the harbor,
so that Sernmes |was obliged to use
bis own boats to coal up with. In
consequence of which Sernmes was
detained in the labor for upward of a
week, whereas he intended to re
main only a few hours. Iu the
meantime Sawver dispatched a mes
sage to the United States steamer
then lying at Cayane, but cowardice
or treachery of the commander al
lowd the Sumter to escape to the sea
again, and tne commander was subse
quently cashiered for his conduct.
Eloquent Address.—Colonel S. S.
Scott, of Uchee, delivered the memo
rial address on the 26th ultimo at
Selma, Ala. The Selma papers speak
most highly of his address, as being
eloquent aud most excellent, and
congratulate the ladies of the Memo
rial Association because of their
happy selection of an orator. Col.
Scott’s Russell friends are gratified
at the compliment bestowed upon
him in the selection, and are glad
that the Selma people and papers
thus show their appreciation of their
distinguished countyman. We are
not surprised at the result of the
Colonel’s essay, as we know the man
and have seen and heard him rise to
explain on former occasions.— Rus

THE STATE lIOAKU OF HKILTII.
Letter Irani Attorney tirurriil Robert
n. EH-
Attorney General’s Office, )
of the State of Georgia, r
Atlanta, April 17, 1877. )
Dr. V. H, Taliaferro, Secretary Slate
Board of Health, Atlanta, Oa:
Dear Sir :—I have received your
ooumuuicatiou inquiring what is the
present status of the State Board of
Health ns affected by the recent leg
islation of the General Assembly;
and further, what should be the fu
ture course of said Board in view of
what nmy be supposed to be the un
friendly action or the Legislature in
regard to the important in
terests committed to its care under
the law. In reply to the first branch
of your inquiry 1 have to say that
the “ant to create a State Board of
Health for the protection of life and
health, and to prevent tho spread of
diseases in the State of Georgia, and
for other purposes,” was passed by
the Legislature of 1875, and became
the law of the land the 25th of Feb
ruary of that year. The sixteenth
section thereof appropriated the Bum
of fifteen hundred dollars to carry
out the purposes contemplated by
said act. Out of this amount were to
be paid first the salary, not exceed
ing one thousand dollars, of the
Secretary, who was made the execu
tive officer of the Board; and
secondly, the expense of procuring
aud printing necessary blanks and
forms of reports required to be made,
and the actual personal expenses of
the members of the Sanitary Commis
sioners while engaged iu the duties
of the board. The original act estab
lishing the board was amended in
severul important particulars by the
General Assembly, at their next ses
sion iu 1876, but the appropriation of
fifteen hundred dollars was contin
ued, iu addition to tbe further sum of
fifteen hundred dollars for the pub
lication of tbe report and transac
tions of said board.
The Legislature, at- their last ses
sion, appropriated the sum of five
hundred dollars for the publication
of tbe reports and transactions of tbe
Board of Health, but with this ex
ception, no mention whatever is
made of said board in their enact
ments. They did not repeal the act
establishing the Board of Health; it
still stands on the statute book in
full force and effect; they simply
railed to make the usual appropria
tion for meeting the actual necessary
and indispensable expenses of the
board. The Secretary, who is
charged by the law with the duty of
puttiug iuto practical operation the
machinery of the board, is expected
to have iris office at the seat of gov
ernment or other stated place, and
to be there daily to send out and re
ceive reports aud communications;
aud it would surely be unreasonable
to suppose that, any one, however
patriotic aud public-spirited, could
devote his time aud attention to such
enterprises without compensation, to
the neglect of his private business
and iuteiests.
It is to be regretted that tho Gen
eral Assembly have not iu more un
mistakable terms declared their iu
teutious iu regard to this subject;
ift.be objects contemplated by tbe
board are not worth tho annual sum
ot lllteeu hundred dollars, or if tho
policy enacting the act is wrong,
then tho law should have been re
pealed. Tbe board would then have
felt themselves relieved of all re
sponsibility in the premises; but
no ft the singular anomaly iu legisla
tion is presented of there being a
public law in full force and unre
pealed requiring the Board of Health
to employ a Secretary at u certain
salary, aud to incur other expenses,
when there is not a dollar of funds
appropriated for such expenditure.
Whatever differences of opinion may
exist as to the benefits and advanta
ges of such institutions as Boards of
Health, yet one thing must bo evi
dent, that in no country and under
no circumstances can they accom
plish anything of importance, unless
they are supplied with money. In
the civilized countries of Europe the
most active and minute researches
are being prosecuted in regard to the
causes of disease, and the laws of
health in general, and the like inves
tigations are being made iu many of
the United States, but in no instance
is it supposed to be possible to ac
complish anything without the ex
penditure of money. If the great
mass of the people, therefore, whose
welfare and happiness are to be pro
moted by the establishmentof boards
of health can not be brought to the
point of consenting that they may be
taxed for their support it is idle to
expect to be able to accomplish any
thing valuable in this direction.
Hence the inquiry you propound is
pertinent—wiiat shall be the future
course of the board? Shall tho en
terprise be abandoned as hopeless
or shall another effort be made in
its behalf, and if so, in what direc
tion?
In order to answer this question
satisfactorily, it may be proper to
take a general and comprehensive
view of the object of creating the
Board of Health, and tho purposes
which it is hoped are to be accom
plished thereby. In addition to the
title of said act already quoted, the
fifth section thereof declares “that
said board shall take cognizance of
the interest of health and life among
the people of the State; they shall
make inquiries in respect to the
causes of disease, and especially of
epidemics, and in vestigate the sources
of mortality, and the effects of locali
ties, employments, and other condi
tions upon the public heelth.”
What more important considera
tion can be addressed to human ef
forts than those which deal with the
issues of life and death, which seek
to avoid, to postpone the one, and to
render the otner more tolerable,
more pleasant, more enjoyable? The
wise physician who relieves a single
case of human suffering is considered
a benefactor to his kind, but how
much stronger must be considered
his title to be so considered, who, by
his diligent investigation into the
laws of nature, improves and advan
ces its public health, and confers its
blessings upon millions by rendering
life mere attentive to them, and
thereby enabling them to become
useful citizens of society and the
commonwealth in which they live.
In comparison with such a work as
this how the efforts of politi
cians sink into insignificance;
the constitutions they create are often
mere ropes of sand which the next
popular wave rends in twain, but
the results of the other are
destined to endure as long as
civilization lasts; they affect in
timately every family and indi
vidual in the land, it nmy be ob
jected in reply that the objects con
templated by this act are good
enough in themselves; but is it posl
ble or practicable tbat such results,
or any considerable portion thereof,
can be accomplished? Now the Leg
islature which framed this law eri
deutly seemed to think that it was
not only desirable but practicable to
accomplish something in this direc
tion. Why should not there be a
law of our bodies as well as our
minds? Why should not there be a
law o* health and disease as well as
one of the seasons? If we observe
that, different localities are visited by
different diseases, must we not sup
port that certain causes produce
these results? And can we reason
bly expect to change these results
until we have, at least, discovered
the causes?
Hence, what tho wise humanitari
an needs as the beginning of his re
searches iu the laws of health is
statistics -- facts. Now, facts are
said to be stubborn t hings, but they
are also useful things; they are
eloquent—they speak with a thou
sand tongues. It was a fact which
first led to the discovery of the ex
pansive power of steam; it was a
fact which caused the discovery of
the law of gravitation, and it was
likewise a fact which first caused the
discovery of the marvellous proper
ties of electricity. So well recognized
is this truth of the value of statistics
collected by the different govern
ments of Europe, that a distinguished
modern thinker has declared that
more may be learned from an im
mense array of facts so collected and
digested in regard to crime, of tbe
moral nature of man, than can bo
gathered from all the accumulated
experience of preceding ages. Why
should not a like happy result attend
a similar collection of facts pertain
ing to the conditions of life and
health, disease and death? Butin
order that any enterprise of this kind
should be successful and generally
useful, there must beau organized
system under the fostering care of
the State, extending by its branches
into every county and locality.
In this connection, I would call
your attention to that portion of the
report of the board who, at the sug
gestion of His Excellency Governor
Smith, visited the afflicted cities of
Savannah and Brunswick during the
past winter, to discover, if possible,
the causes of the dreadful pestilence,
and tbe means of preventing it in
future, aud some of tne physicians of
the board, after an examination on
the spots, and after collecting all the
information accessible to them, are
confidently of the opinion that if the
suggestions made bv them are intel
ligently and faithfully carried out,
those cities will never be visited with
a recurrence of yellow fever.
These gentlemen, it is conceded,
stand iu the front rank of their pro
fession, and we must suppose that
they know whereof they speak. Let
us take the case of the city of New
Orleans as an illustration. No lo
cality seems to be more favorable to
the prevalence of yellow fever. Sit
uated on the banks of the Mississippi
river, surrounded bv marshes and
lagoons, whore malarial poison is
supposed to be generated, besides
being contiguous to Havana and
other tropical ports, where the
disease almost always exists at some
period of the years. And yet so per
fect are their sanitary regulations
under the direction and supervision
of the State Board of Health of Lou
isiana, that they seem to have ob
tained complete mastery of the dis
ease. so that it has not prevailed
there as an epidemic for several
years, and there seems to be good
reason to suppose that it will never
so prevail again.
It has been estimated by Dr. Lly
McClellan, of tho United States Ar
my, who has given some attention
arid investigation to the subject, that
the total loss of values by tbe yellow
fever in Savannah was in excess of
five millions of dollars. We do know
that the State has felt herself obliged
to remit one-third of the taxes to be
come due from the county of Chat
ham the present year, amounting, it
is supposed, to more than $30,000, in
order to carry out a system of drain
age for that city. Will the Legisla
ture,while availing themselves of the
information acquired by the physi
cians of the Board, at their own cost
and expense, without fee or reward,
still refuse the small appropriation
of $1,500, which is essential to keep
the Board iu existence? But very
limited time, and your patience, ad
monish me that I should not pursue
this branch of tho subject further.
It is subject upon which volumes
mightbe written.
Hucb being my views of the impor
tance of this enterprise, I think you
may well infer that it should not be
abandoned without at least one more
appeal to the wisdom, generosity aud
justice of the representatives of the
people. If public sontimeot is not
alive to tbe importance of this enter
prise it is because it has not been
fully and clearly brought to the at
tention of the masses. Let it become
apparent that it has been inaugura
ted not for the benefit of physicians,
or any other class, but in an enlarged
spirit of liberaltty and patriotism,
for the prosperity and happiness of
the whole people, and at once public
attention will become aroused and
public interest excited. Twelve of
our sister S'ates have in operation
Boards of Health ; let it not he said
that Georgia was the first to aban
don the scheme, unless it should ap
pear after a fair trial and full discus
sion of its merits that it is not likely
to be productive of any public good.
I have the honor to be, very re
spectfully, your obedient servant,

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
Ac., and indeed all the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, or mias
matic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorder*. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in malari
ous districts demand. Its great superiority over
any other medicine yet discovered for the cure
of Intermittent* is, that it contains no quinine or
mineral, and those who take it are free from
danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
ore as healthy after using it as before. It has
been extensively employed during tbe last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing dis
orders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it ha* gained the reputation of being infalli
ble. It can, be safely recommended as a sure
remedy and specific for the Fever aud Agrue of
the West, and the Chills and Fever of the
Bouth, which, once broken up by it, do not
return until the disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such as Neu
ralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Ileadache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenic
Affections, Hysterics, Pain In the Bow
els, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of
the Stomach, all of which become intermittent
or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayer’h Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protecU the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it Is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails,
as it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Llvsr Complaints, arising from
torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates
this organ iuto healthy activity, and produces
many remarkable cures where other medicines
fall.
