Notice Mexican Veterans. Col. Carey W. Styles, of the Albany Meivn, publishes the following card, of in terest to those who served as soldiers in Mexico: “Having been appointed by Gen. W. S. Walker, President of the Association of Mexican veterans for Georgia, Chair man of the committee to collect unwrit ten incidents, facts and matters of inter ess connected with the campaigns to the city of the Aztecs, I respeci fully invite contributions from veterans everywhere, but more especially from those residing in South Carolina and Georgia. Short letters, detailing incidents, facts, circum stances and interesting events, personal and otherwise, will be thankfully re eeived and carefully compiled and print ed for the Association. justxc LAURA WASHINGTON ON A RAMPAGE Justice Jossey gazed on Laura Vash ir.atou yesterday, and Laura gazed back upon the Justice. Miss, Washington is not handsome, but her anatomy went far to prove that she could be guilty of “force of arms,” the charge upon which t-he was arraigned. Laura had demolish ed a small boy belonging to oi* Cl. uy Chum, and on that principle of equity, ‘‘to the victor belongs the spoils,” had robbed Chum’s descendant of a jug of molasses and other commissaries, wherewith to support herself during these unprecedented times. Laura is an old offender, a public spirited citizen, and this onslaught on the Churn’s, father and son, is no new tactic in her military record. She had just finished a sentence of twenty days off the streets, and them attempted to finish the Chum larder in one day and succeeded. McDaniel and Alford appeared for the Chum family, while Col. Thurman head ed the Washington defense, and the ac. tion grew warm. Washington’s attor. ueys threw hot shot and a good many of them, but the Court wiped its specs, winked its face and the verdict was rendered against Miss Lau ra. The Chums smiled, the witnesses looked sad, while the female Washing ton was sent tip on a shutter in default of §SOO bail, to have an interview with a higher court. Exeunt Chums. Express Change. Col. Logan informs us us that anew express schedule will go iuto effect on this road after to-day. The south bound express will be carried by the day train, thus giving ua the up and dowu express freight in the day time as of old. The change is acceptable to the agent and to those who do business with the company. New Paper. The material, presses, type, etc., of the Newnan Star has been sold to some parties at Sandorsville, Ga., who will soon commence the publication of anew paper at that place to be called t;h San dersville News. Mr. John M. Huff, for merly of this city, will have charge of the mechanical department of the new enterprise. Valuable Property Fur Sale.

A correspondent, signing himself G. G. Flynt, writes an angry letter to the Advertiser on the failure of the South, ern Insurance Company. He winds up his article by this vehement statement: “If Generals Gordon and Colquitt lent their names to the furtheranno of the plot, they ought to be damned." Mr. Flynt was a policy holder. The editor of the Advertiser has been to Atlanta and heard the gubernatorial campaign canvassed, and says Governor Smith is no candidate , but will serve again if wanted—of course.

Savannah News: It is said that the Count Johannes B’Gormanne, late of Norwegia, will shortly erect a hotel near his Florida chateau.

Within the past day or two new' machinery for the mak ing of sewing thread has been received, and will shortly be put in position, and the manufacture of thread wiii be com menced.

THE HABAbM AMI ERIE CANAL The old Waive sb and Erie canal is to be sold fco-.’ay at Terre Haute Inch its usefulness having passed away with the complcction of the railroad system of Ind. and the stockholders who have invested §15,000,000 in tin work having become anxious to re- J ize something on the venture, which has proven calamitous. V. hen Ind* iana was bankrupt in 1841, and owed $14,000,000, her creditors surrendered the bonds of the State and received for every, bond of SI,OOO, SSOO in States five per cent, stock and SSOO in Wabash and Erie stock, and for the accrnded interest (about $3,000,000) one*half in two and a half per cent. State stock and one-half in two and a half per cent, canal stock the canal stock creditors having the custody of the canal and its operation in trust for twenty years from January 19, 1846. Since the expiration of she limit,however,there has been a chronic quarrel in Indiana between the State and the creditors holding canal svock, who wanted the State to resume con trol of the canal, which has become a very large elephant. The. State has failed to do this, and the canal trus tees have taken the step which will culminate to'day in the sale of the canal and its franchise and appear ances. The trustees have also brouf ht a suit to test the responsibility of the State to the stockholders, claiming that the canal was only transferred to them to secure the old indebtedness of the Stato to them. Half the canal stock is held in Europe, the Roths childs being among the number of the stockholders. Efforts have been re peatedly made to secure appropria tions to repair the canal and make it a highway for commerce, but with- out success. The canal is obstructed through much of its course, embank ments have given away, and as a wa ter highway it is not a sucees. ’ The railroads have killed it. It was de signed to boa permanent commercial channel from Toledo, on lake Erie to the Ohio river, and for many years it fulfilled its mission. -.ViJI yen Kelt've it ? Woman’s Best Friend.— To relievo the acbiag heart of woman and briug joy where sorrow reigned supreme, is a mis sion'before which the smiles oi kings dwindle into utter insignificance. To do this is the peculiar province of Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Begulator; which from the numberless cures it has accom pltshed, is appropriately styled Woman’s Best Friend. The distressing complaint known as the “whites,” and the various irregularities of the womb, to which wo man is subject disappear like magic be fore a single bottle of this wonderful compound. It is prepared by L. H. Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta, Gs., and sold at $1.50 per bottle by respectable Drug men everywhere. Physicians pre scribe it. Its action is prompt, sure and decisive. NOW IN I’EEFECT HEAJjTH. Near Marietta, Ga., March 21, 1870 Messrs. Wsi. Boot & Sons.—Gentle men:—Some months ago I bought a bot tle of Bradfield’s Female Begulator from you, and have used it in my family with the utmost satisfaction, and have recommended it to three other families and they have found it just what it is recommended. The females who have used your Begulator are now 7 in perfect health, and are able to attend to their household duties, and we cordially rec ommend it to the public. Yoars respectfully, Bev. H. B. JOHNSON. Mr, Orth has been nominated for Governor of Indiana, and he is ex pected to come home and take the stump, leaving the Vienna mission va cant. Here is a first class opening for somebody needing a vindication. There are no more brothers-in-law around, we believe, and the Force bill Congressmen are all provided for; but there is Delano out of a place, and the President might send him. Or, there is Cowan, or Magrue, or Boss Shep herd, or best of all—Babcock. Bab cock is the most needy of the whole set, and as his usefulness seems to be somewhat impaix-ed at home, the Pres dent could hardly do better than send to Austria. We ask nothing for the suggestion. A PA RUNG SHOT. The press of Louis'ile and Cincins nati, find it hard to forgi e he slight put upon them by the National Dem ocratic Committee, in selecting St. Louis as the place at which the Dem ocratic Convention mi s? hold its fit ting- Even the Courier- Journal, a paper whose concurrar ce in and de fi-tnie of Democratic action, good or T’-d, has become proverbial, speaks 1 -t and urges what, for so able a journal, will bo deemed unworthy op‘ position to the committee’s action. Hear it: It is unfortunate that the Democra* cy, or rather a Democratic committee, should have chosen a sickly town, pred sp sed to convoluted highwines and offering opposition to the publi. cation of the nows, as a place for hold ing a convention. Indianapolis, being within a short distance of Louisville and possessing a uuion depot, had much stronger claims on the consid eration of the committee than St. Louis; and Nashville, too, would have been a good place. If tho party, in addition to its other burdens, lias to take on Reavis, Uncle Sam may as well make up his mind to get iuto his incarnadined apparel for another four years. LET SO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE The New York Sun makes this ital icized declaration; “ It is well known that testimony was witheld from the grand juries in Chicago and Mill, waukee that on a trial would he apt to send several Republicans sen. ators, ex'senators and representatives to the penitentiary." And now who are the senators, ex-senators and rep resenatives who are thus hair-hung and breeze-shaken over the yawning mouth of the’ penitentiary? There is little or no doubt that institution is justly entitled to a few rascals of that c diber. and its rights should no long, er be witheld- Let no guilty man es cape. BLEEDING I-ROM LUNGS. CaTA!?!>!!, BRONCHITIS, CON U.MCMON \ VrONEERFUL (CHE. Rochester, NY, / Jan. 13th, 1874 j R. V. Pierce, NT. D , Buffalo. N. Y: Jean kir:- —1 had sutured from Ca tarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve years and for several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors and things with no lasting benefit. In May ’72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive editorial labors on a paper in New York Cith, I was attacked with Bronchitis in a severe form, suffering almost a total loss of voice. I returned home here, but had been home only two wei-ks when I was completely prostrated with Hemorage from the Lungs, having four severe, bleeding'spells within two weeks, and first three inside of nine dags. In the September following, I improved sufficiently to be able to be about, tlio’ iu a very feeble state. My Bronchial trouble remained and the Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort fer relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losing ground daily. I continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about the fitst of March, ’73, when I became so bad as to be confined to the house. A friend suggested your remedies. But I was extremely skepti cal that they would do me good, as I had lost all heart iu remedies,and began to look on medicine and doctors with dis gust. However, I obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that vou understood your business, at least. .! fi nally obtained a quantity of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Bemedy, your Goldeu Medical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous use according to direc tions. To my surprise, I soou began to improve. The Discovery and Pellets, in a short time, brought out a severe erup tion, which continued for several weeks. I felt much better, my appetite improz’- ed, and I gained in strength and flesh.—• In three months every vestige of the Ca tarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had near ly disappeared, had no Cough whatever and I had entirely ceased to raise blood; j and, contrary to the expectation of some ! of my friends, the cure has remained ! permanent. I have had no more Hem ' orrliages trom the lungs, and am entire- I ly free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so mdeh and so long. The. debt ; of gratitude I owe for the blessing I have ! received at your hands, knows no bounds. | I an thoroughly satisfied, frtyn my ex j perience, that your medicines will mas i ter the worst forni3 of that odious dfs -1 ease Catarrh, as well as Threat and Lung i Diseases. I have recommended them ; to very many and shall ever speak in | their praise. * Gratefully yours, WM. H. SPENCER. P. O. Box 507, Kochester, N. Y.
