From oar Uvcntng Edition of Yesterday
READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE"
The Augusta Library.— Our friend .John
Millen, the courteous and indefatigable Li
brarian of the Augusta Library Association,
has just received an extensive invoice of late
publications, historical and miscellaneous.—
Among the profounder works, we notice an
edition of Napoleon’s great work on “Ciesar
among the works of fiction, choice selections
from Le Fanu, Trollope, Braddon, Wood and
others of recent popularity. We trust that our
citizens, old and yonng, will’ootue forward lib
erally to the support of this important institu
tion. The great battle of the South, in future,
is to he fought upon the arena of reason. Let
our youth cultivate their intellects preparatory
to tliat coming day, when the Southern mind
shall assume its appropriate place in the litera
ture and statesmanship of the common country.
The Am.edged Kidnapping op Negroes.—
We learn from the New York World , of the 17th,
that the President sent a message to the Senate
on the 16th, in answer to (he resolution request
•. ing him to communicate any information in
possession of the Executive in relation to the
alleged kidnapping of colored persons in the
Southern States, for the purpose of selling them
for slaves elsewhere.
It appears from the documents transmitted,
and from a letter written by General Canhy,
that three colored children were abducted from
New Orleans and carried to Havana or some
other port of Cuba, where it was supposed they
were at the time the War Department was in
formed of this occurrence. Secretary Seward
instructed Mr. Savage, our Consul at Havana,
to make inquiries, in order that if the children
could be identified proper measures might be
adopted witlra view to their return to New Or
leans. General Canby says that the status of (
these children at the time of abducting was that
of slaves, and their introduction into Cuba was
in violation of the laws of Spain. A long cor
respondence follows, including a letter from
Minister Tassara, dated February 4, 1860, in- i
closing ii communication from the Captain j
General of Cuba, caused by the alleged kidnap- ,
ping and carrying to that, island of free negroes i
from the Southern States to he held in slavery, ]
about which Senator Sumner busted himself in ]
the session of t lie Senate on the !>th of .January. 1
The Captain General adds, that what the Senator j
said as to Cuba is*not true, and a ease of the j
kind cannot be made out against a solitary in- (
dividual. Mr. Hall, Consul at Matanzas, in n I
letter dated February 17, 1866, Informs the
State Department that nftor diligent investiga
tion, and having heard the opinions of persons :
likely to lie informed, he has not been able to 1
learn that there is any truth in the unofficial in
formation as given to the War Department in
regal'd to the kidnapping of negroes. Sulwe- i
quently the girl was brought to Matanzas and
sold. A statement was made to the authorities,
from which it is seen that the girl had been de
cided to be free, in fact and by right, and placed
at the disposition of the consulate. The Gov
-1 I
ernor of Maiaiizas permits this girl to retuaiu
in the care of a private family until an oppor
tunity shall offer for her return to her native
land. J
William T. .Minor, United States Consul at i
Havan i, wi ites to the State Department, that
upon the receipt of the first dispatch lie insti- ‘
tuted inquiries, and up to February 19, 1866, lie
had no; been able to find anything to warrant '•
the belief t hat colored persons had been brought 1
to Havana from the Southern coast of the ,
United States, or vessels, large or small, laden ;
with cotton or other products, and lett on the
island. He says he has no doubt that refugees J
from New Orleans brought there some of their i
slaves during the past year. Sevan of these had i
been reclaimed through the Consulate. •
•**. £ iShifcliii -The re j
ligious eomTtritfity -of Peril) has neefi.strangely*
agitated of late by a new preacher railed Father i
Hyarinthe. The ablest speakers of me two i
Chambers, the most celebrated judges, the most
renowned writers, crowded to listen to his
eloquence. Father Hyacinthe, according to a
writer in the London Times , is a member of the
order of hare-footed Carmelites, the reformed
branch of the original Carmelites, named from
Mount Carmel, and who claim their descent
from Elijah. He is remarkable for his liberal
opinion in political, ami his tolerance in reli
gious matters. In his recent sermons at Notre
Dante, Father Hyacintlic confined himself
mainly to the task of combating the delusion
that morality can take the place of religion, or
exist independent of it. A devout adherent of
the Pope, as head of the Church, he drew a
marked distinction between his temporal and
his spiritual authority. For a perfect liberty of
conscience lie contended eloquently. He stig
matised persecution for conscience sake us an
odious crime. If it has sometimes been allotted
to the sword to defend justice and weakness,
and uphold religions faith against assault, from
heathen powers, it can not he its part to inspire
in people the faith which they reject,. “The
wise man,” he said, “should proportion the
means to the end; and this end is faith, con
viction, and the free adhesion of the mind and
the heart. Do you desire and do you believe
that the sword can obtain such an object V It
is madness, but it is also a crime; because if
there be, next to the majesty of God, a majesty
which is inviolable, it is the majesty of man’s
conscience.”
The Gold of the Richmond Banks.—The
Lynchburg News, referring to the hitch in the
proceedings at Washington, for the resto
ration of the .SIOO,OOO in gold, belonging
to the old banks in Richmond, says: “We
learn from a source in every way reliable that,
after thoaough investigation of the whole mat
ter, the authorities came to the conclusion that
the money actually belonged to the banks of
Richmond, and that an order for its delivery to
the officers of the banks was made out, receiv
ed the signature of the President, and was sent
to the Treasury Deportment, who were about
to turn over the amount to the agent of the
banks, when a communication was sent to the
President by some individual (name unknown)
who pledged himself, if three days were allow
ed him, to establish beyond controversy the fact
that the specie in question did not beloug to
the banks, but to the Confederate Government,
and the claims set up by the bank were fraudu
lent, and intended to deceive the Government
into surrendering to them n large amount of
coin to which they had not the shndow of a ti
tle. Under these circumstances the order was
countermanded, and the specie directed to be
held by the Treasury, awaiting the results of
the promised developments.”
Rents Falt.jjig. —The Charleston Courier
says the rapid decline of rents in several of the
large cities is announced. In New York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore, Richmond, and cities further
South, a decided improvement in the matter of
rent has been realized. Under the pressure of
the exorbitant rents demanded a few months
since, merchants faltered in their business pur
suits, and many of them were compelled to
close up their concerns altogether. Avaricious
landlords chuckled at. the prospect of receiving
fabulous rents for old, rickety buildings, and
even went so far as to notify tenants to be pre
pared to pay further advances at the close of
the year. The public, however, resolutely set
their faces against such outrageous exactions,
and, as a consequence, rents have met with a
great fall. Many buildings which' could have
been rented for reasonable sums at the first of
the year have been, on account of the high
rates, left unoccupied, and arc now vainly seek
ing tenants at comparatively moderate prices.
A correspondent of the Wilmington Dispatch
gives an account of a street encounter, at Lum
berton, last week, between the Rev. James Sin
clair and Colonel Wra. L. McKay, of Fayette
ville. The “fighting” parson was aroused at
some action of the late Fayetteville Presbytery
concerning him not agreeable to his pride, which
was published in Col. McKay’s paper, the Pres
byterian. He attacked the Colonel with a cane
and pistol. The latter disarmed him, and —the
parson caught a tartar.
Ex-Governor Swain, of North Carolina, baa
gone to Washington on a visit connected with
his researches in the history of his State. He

stolen from the Executive office during the last
days of the war.

The Ootton Supply from India—Failing
Resources.
a, i meet in"- of the Manchester Chamber of
Commerce, January 29, theeonsideratum ofthe
prospects of cotton supplies ‘
discussed. Complaints were made of the apathy
of the Government respecting India, and the
opinion prevailed that all that was necessary to
obtain a large supply was to develop!thei canal
and railroad communications in l , hat *:® unlrj -
Mr Bagiev Member of Parliament, said.
' SinctTthe'termination of the war with Ameri
m thev had acquired something of the lorme
degree of activity that once pervaded. the manu
faXing districts. Still nmch reAMned to be
done. In 1860 the consumption < 1 “
the United Kingdom amounted to 2,900, TOO tegs
during the year, at the period of the greatest
distress- -namely, 1862-the consumption had
diminished to 1,000,000 tegs ; and last year, it
had none UD to 2,000,000. ,
But during this period there had been very
important additions made to the meapai of con
suming cotton, not only by the 'cd'leUr
m ination of spinners to repair their old ma
chinery and prepare fora better time, but by
the spirit of capitalists who had invested new
capital in new works, the result being that
there was at the present moment the power to
consume much larger quantities of cotton thau
had been known at any other period, and he
apprehended not less than 3,000,T00 hags wonld
be required to supply the trade of Ihe whole
kingdom, when cotton could be had in plenty,
and at the same time at such cheap prices as
ruled previous to the convulsion of 18TO. It
had bean* stated that the exports to America
with the revived trade had been so large that
our public finances were likely to be seriously
inconvenienced. He differed altogether from
such an estimate.
It was quite true we had sent, something like
£20,0(H),000 value of British exports to the
United States, but ill estimating the means of
payment by America, it seemed to be entirely
forgotten that America during the last year sent
such ample supplies of cotton that the value of
them would be little short of £25,000,00. But
although this was sufficient reason why we need
apprehend no danger from our trade with
America, there might be some reason why we
should look seriously at investments at home.
There had been continually created new joint
stock companies, we had been continually con
tributing to foreign loans, and he estimated
fairly that the home engagements of the coun
try last year amounted to little less than £200,-
000,000. He put it to the Chamber whether we
were likely to be in danger from speculative
investments of that kind, or from a legitimate
trade of £20,000,000 with our friends across the
Atlantic. •
There had been no very important improve
ment in the cotton received from India. Larger
supplies, it was true, had been received during
tlic years when cotton had been so much re
quired, but it must be recollected that a part of
those supplies was cotton that had been cruelly
taken from the Indian home manufacturers,
and that we had not secured so large a portion
of India’s augmented production as we should
have received. It was grievous to hear that
in some instances the home manufacturers of
{ndia had not been supplied with tficir raw ma
terial in consequence of the exportations to
this country. He fell considerable anxiety as
to the supplies of cotton from India.
In 1860 there were here consumed about
8,800 hags of Indian cotton per week. Last
year the consumption was to the extent of
20,000 bags per week, but the quality of the
cotton was so inferior that the moment abun
dant supplies from America could be obtained
Indian cotton would cease to be consumed, and
India, which already depended upon a great
supply of cotton being sent to this country at
high prices, would lie greatly disappointed
when they found that the supplies and the
prices were diminished. The time, he feared,
was coming when distress would be brought
upon India because it would lie more to the
interest of the people of this country to obtain
cotton from America than India. One hundred
million pounds already paid was ample com
pensation for what we laid received, and we had
no occasion to trouble ourselves with conse
quences its to wlfat might accrue to India, nl
tliough.it would be much i.i be deplored it In
dia did not keep up in the race of competition.
Unless something could be don? in the wav of
administrative reform in India, there could be
no improvement in tlie cultivation of cotton.
Something must be done to emancipate the
agricultural industry of India from the thral
dom of the officials. India possessed ample
means for repealing her custom duties. The
whole revenue of India is about £45,000,T00
gross; the net amount was perhaps from
£85,000,000 to £36,000,000. The expenses ot
collection amounted to £8,000,000, and tie sub
mitted that this sum, deducted from the gross
revenue, was a sum altogether unnecessary, and
it would be possible to save as much even as
£2,000,000 out of the expenses of collection. At
all events, the manufacture of cotton yarns con
tributed to the revenue of India about £600,000;
.that could be. easily abolished; and as the cot
has given liulfei something like £IOO,-
000,000,'abenefit would arise to Jqdto if cotton
If was to be hoped, therefore, anofi'ort would,
he maW to rcfScal 'the duties upon cotton
manufacturers. If there was a large trade rapid
ly rising in India, where spinning and manu
facturing were being conducted, a protection
would arise to those manufactures if something
did not alter the present condition of things.
The whole official revenue of India required to
be fully examined'and economized. Only £29,-
000,000 was required for the real expenditure of
the country, and to collect £45,000,000 appear
ed to leave a margin that, gave great scope for
financial reforms.
Reproductive work's of any kind, which
would greatly Contribute to the .revenue of
India, had made but little progress. True
£50,000,000 had been expended in about 8,000
miles of railway in India ; but in America there
were 80,000 miles. Water for inland navigation
and irrigation was, no doubt, the great wealth
of India. Great investments ought to lie made
in the means of conveying heavy goods from
the interior to the ports ; and water applied to
the land, it was well known, increased the pro
duction four-fold. Whatever irrigation was ap
plied the quality of the cotton was vastly in
creased—of course, to the corresponding ad
vantage of the agriculturist. The land tenure
question was also of the highest importance to-
India.
Another Falsehood Nailed.— We find the
following communication in the Charleston
News, nailing another falsehood:
Mills House, Charleston, 8. C., >
March 19,1800. \
To the Editors of the Charleston Daily News :
Gentlemen: In your issue of to-day you
publish an article purporting to comC from the
Washington Chronicle , stating that the Assistant
Commissioner of Freeamen for the State of
South Carolina informs Gen. Howard that the
people in that State are very jubilant over
the veto, and are becoming more bitter and
outspoken every day ; and many Northern capi
talists are returning home in despair* or are
awaiting something definite as to the policy to
be pursued : and the Assistant Commissioner
expresses the hope that a new Freedman’s Bu
reau bill will puss, as he can see no hope for the
freedman for some years to come, save under
the eye of the Bureau; and can see no hope for
South Carolina but by filling it up w r ith North
ern men. and thus vanquishing the enemies of
the Government at the polls’. At present, in
some of the northern districts of the State, a
Northern man’s life is not safe; his houses are
burned, and he is kept in continual fear by re
gularly organized bands of ruffians calling
themselves Southern Regulators.
I am authorized by Major General R. K. Scott
to say tint he never made any such communi
cation to Gen. Howard or any one else.
Please correct, by publishing this note, and
oblige your obedient servant,
J. H. Wiggin.
We are gratified nt the above statement, fifn.
Scott has made many warm friends since he
has been here by his fair and straightforward
course, and we should have disliked to have
believed that he made any such representations.

A Hypocrite.
Served Him Right.— Chaplain James J.
Ferree, who had been serving as agent for the
Freedmen’s Bureau in Loudoun county for some
months past, was last week ejected from his
position for malfeasance in office. Chaplain
Ferree is a minister of the Gospel (!)—made
long prayers in the open air—probably thank
ing God that these ungodly rebels were not
like unto him; (if so they render a hearty
amen.) Chaplain Ferree was paid by the Gov
ernment of the United States—the same as its
other officers—to look after the interests of the
freedmen; but as his mission was solely in the
interests of humanity, we understand that
where “ Cuffee ” had business with him he was
invariably charged a “ small fee to keep up the
office.” Philanthropic Chaplain Ferree.
A week br two ngo an order was sent from
Washington to Chaplain Ferree to be delivered
to Thomas W. Edwnrds, Esq., restoring him
his property, which had been libelled for con
fiscation. lUre was a fat “ reb,” and a good
chance for a perquisite; so when Mr. E. called
for his papers, he was reminded of this “ small
fee for keeping up the office,” and as the
weather was cold, and Chaplain Ferree had to
be kept warm, a load of wood was fixed upon
as the. contribution. Mr. E. demurred—had
no wood to sell. Chaplain Ferree was fond of
buggy riding—who is not when it can be done
at other people’s expense—and was owing a
small livery bill of $5 60, which Mr. Edwards
could pay. Thinking by this time that he be
gan to smell a very btg “mice” under the par
son’s cloak, Mr. E. again demurred. Pre
sumed if the charge was fixed by law it was a
specific one, and that he had better pay the
money, take a receipt, and let the Chaplain pay
his own livery, which was agreed upon. Alas !
Chaplain Ferree. The receipt was forwarded
to General Howard, witli an explanatory letter,
and here’s what came of it:
Bureau R., F. & A. L., 1
. v Hdqiis. Assistant'Commissxon, >
Washington, March 5, 1860, y
Respectfully forwarded to the Commissioner,
with reference to endorsement of Chaplain
Ferree.
The records of this office show no authoriza
tion whatever given to Chaplain Ferree lor such
a fee. Chaplain Ferree has been relieved as
superintendent for Loundonn county, Va.

Interesting Letter from Cuba.
Havana, March 10, 1866.
THE LATE RE VOLUTION ARV DEMONSTRATION.
The Sagua newspaper, of (lie sth inst., pub
lishes the following regarding the late outbreak
at Villa Clara, which I translate literally :
Our meritorious guard has jp.;t rendered an
important service. It appears that a hand of
highwaymen, consisting of some fourteen or
sixteen fool hardy individuals, armed with cut
lasses, knives and muskets, attempted a rising
at Villa Clara, or some point in that district.—
Their intention apparently was to get up a sort
of marauding expedition, and their suspicious
proceedings created considerable alarm in that
peaceful section of the island. They first made
their appearance in the Calabazal district; but
information of their arrival having been re
ceived by Don Jose Hernandez Galvez, com
manMing the civil guard in that district, he im
mediately started in search of them 4vith a por
tion of his force, and, supported by the lieu
tenant commanding at Cienfuentes, he came
across them at a point called Taguayabon, in
the district of San Juan de los Remedios. Some
shots were exchanged, and, finally, the civil
forces succeeded in capturing twelve of the in
surgents, among whom were Don Ventura,
Rosell, Andres Lopez, Maximo Guerra, Anto
nio Rodriguez and Augustin Milian. They
were taken to Remedios and duly delivered to
the custody of the civil authorities to await
trial.
The parties implicated are stated to belong to
the respectable class of society. Villa Clara,
where the demonstration took its rise, is a town
of considerable importance oq the north' side of
Cuba, distant about sixty leagues from Havana.
Its situation is favorable for a revolutionary
movement, as the eastern portion of the island
is the most mountainous and the most disaffect
ed, being inhabited by a manly class of count r
mcD, termed ifreujiros.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
[From the Premia of March 7.
The report which we copied yesterday from
the Sag tui, regarding the capture of a numb, r
of individuals suspected of being about to :: i
up a marauding expedition, turns out to have
been greatly exaggerated. The. truth of the
matter, as we have learned from sources worthy
ot eredit, is as follows: Some dozen or more
individuals were drinking together in a tavern
i/xulega,) when one of them, being excited l.\
his potations, expressed himself in violent
terms against the Government, and a lieutenant
from Taguayabon, who was present, rebuked
the inan, and fearing that the dispute might end
in violence the civil guard were notified, who,
meeting two of the parly coming out of the
tavern, arrested them for carrying arms without
authorization, and after inquiring the names of
the others they arrested them also and hand, d
them over to the officers of justice at Sasi Juan
de 10s Remedios. Upon investigation it appeal ,
that the man whom the lieutenant had reprov. d
is addicted to drunkenness and in the habit i,f
talking wild when under I lie influence ol liqm r,
and that the others belong to the respectable
class of society, having never offended again t
the laws.
THE CARGO OF AFRICANS.
The Spanish war steamer Neptune arrived,
here this morning (as 1 stated in my letter foi
warded by the More Castle,) having in tow a
coasting schooner with a considerabls number
of Africans on board, it is reported that the
blacks were transferred from a brig which land
seven hundred of them at San Antonio. The I
owner not appearing they were purchased hv I
Seuor Marty at the rate of fifteen ounces (#22'.)
each. The total number of Africans taken by
the Neptune is estimated at nearly one thousand
five hundred souls.
The British steamer Bolivian appeared off t im
port the evening before last, from NewOrlean ,
and the Captain not understanding the signal-,
from the Moro fortress “not to enter at night, ”
was fired at with'blank cartridge and had to
wait til! next morning.

TTIE SEGAR TRADE.
An exposure was made some time ago by the
European press, denouncing the ingeniou
frauds committed in Germany and elsewhere,
to the great injury of the genuine article, both
in spurious manufactures and in the exporta
tion of segars for reimportation.
A number of our manufacturers lately held n
meeting to devise the best means to put a stop
to the practice. One of the remedies proposed
was to establish a newspaper, exclusively in de
fense of their interests. The idea of having a
newspaper is not a now one, as the Honradcz
Cigarette Manufactory has had one for some
time, under the direction ol the proprietor him
self.
THE ARGUELLES CASE.
Your readers may recollect that against the
sentence passed on Arguelles last year lie made
an appeal to the Supreme Court of Spain, which
is still pending. It is said that he forward' d
“certain documents” home with a view to im
plicate others and to vindicate himself in that
business to which he owes his disgrace* but
what is certain is that he is still an inmate of the
Havana “Tombs,” or VarcelPitblica. He seems
to be badly provided for, in a pecuniary vie w„
ns he sent the other day to get sopie money
from a “friend.”
LOCAL NEWS.
The Captain General has given permission fi-i
a joint stock company to build a new theatre
on one of the empty lots between the city walls
of the. Puerto de Colon and Puerto de Tierru,
mid which is to be under his immmediate pa
tronage. The edifice will consist of four sto
ries—the first for shops, the second for a Cuban
Athenaeum, tiie third for a theatre and the
fourth for a hotel. The capital of the company
has not yet been named, but is to be made up
by shares of six ounces ($102).
It is reported that Senor Teodoro Guerrero,
a member of the Council of Administration,and
a man of whom the Captain General entertain -
a very high opinion, will shortly be appointed
to the office of Political Secretary of this Gov
ernment.
A literary gentleman, who is engaged in
writing a book on some events in the war, in
which Mosby was concerned, has recently had
some correspondence with that noted person
age, and a short time ngo inquired of him if ii
would be safe for “a Black Republican—one
dyed in the wool ” —so he described himself—to
make at the present time a horseback journev
through Virginia. In reply that famous rough
rider writes the gentleman as follows:
if you have any desire to visit the historic
scenes of Virginia, I hope you will not be dr
terred by any apprelieusions for your personal
safety. You will be just as safe from molesta
tion here as in the streets of Boston. Should
you determine to ' visit Northern Virginia I
would be glad to see you at my home ; and I
can at least promise that you will not find me
the monstrum hm-rendum of the Northern imagi
nation. By-the-bye, one of the regiments I most
frequently encountered was from about Boston
—the 2d Massachusetts, Col. Lowell. 1 once
met a detachment of it under command of a
Major Forhes, of Boston; and, although onv
encounter resulted in his overthrow, lie bore
himself with conspicuous gallantry, and I saw
him wound one of my best men with his sabre.
I also had an interview with a Captain Barton,
of Massachusetts, who served on General Eu
stace’s staff, and interested myself to procure
his exchange. * * * In the event of your
visiting Virginia I shall be most happy to ex
tend to you any facility in my power for seeino
places of interest, &c.
There is one spot where our Northern friends
seem to be getting enough of the negroes. They
are said to be as thick as blackberries, black
birds, blackheart cherries, whortleberries or
any other dark objects, around Old Point Com
fort, Camp Hamilton, Hampton and the whole
adjacent country literally swarm with them
Frpm Fortress Monroe to Yorktown the whole
country is a camp ground for the sons of Ham
Looking to the fact, perhaps, that the pleasures
of Old Point as a bathing place ot fashionable
resort, may be much diminished during the
coming summer, by the presence and participa
tion of Cuffee in the enjoyments of the season
the officers, soldiers, and attaches of that locali
ty are said to be getting tired of Cuffee. They
have uo idea of swimming and wallowing in
the water of the same bath-houso witli the
gentlemen from Africa. Though water, and
especially sea water, is a highly purifying ele
ment, yet it would seem a* if it was thought
there will not be enough in Hampton Roads
and Chesapeake Ray for both whites and blacks
when the bathing season commences.
This enormous accumulation of negroes on
the Peninsula is easily explained. Bounded on
each side by the James and York, two rivers
abounding in fish and oysters, the Peninsula is
a garden spot for Cuflfee, because he can live
without labor, on the natural products of salt
water. The country, moreover, abounds in rac
coons and opossums, “ varments ” that have a
wonderful attraction for the negro. The scheme
of colonization in Florida, which the officers at

BSD WE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO BE
astonished at anything. Years of experience and a
correspondence extending throughout all nationalities
of the habitable globe, have turned theories into facts
(tnd established a basis from which we need not err. -
We are not surprised at such facts ns the following,
although the persons who write them are. We know
the persons and circumstances, hence feel at liberty to
endorse their statements:
• “ Nf.w Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24, 1863.
Dear Sir : I hnvc been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and
bands, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
some friends in New York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wine glassful after dinner. Feel
ing better by degrees, in a few days I was astonished
to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me,
and I could sleep the night through, which I have not
done for years. I feel like another being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by the
H*e of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith Russel.”
. “RFEnsBURY, Wis., Sept. 10, 1863.

for fourteen months—speechless and nearly dead. At
'Alton, 111., they gave me a bottle of Plantation Bit
ters. * * * Three bottles restored my speech and
cured me. * * *
C. A. Flaute.”
The following is from the manager of the Union
Home School for the children of volunteers:
“ Havemeykr Mansion, 57™ St., >
New York, August 2,1863. \
't)R. Drake: lour wonderful Plantation Hitters
have been given to some of our little children suffer
ing from weakness and weak lungs, with most happy
yfitect. One little girl in particular, with pains in her
head, loss of appetite and daily wasting consumption,
on whom all .medical skill had been exhausted, has
been entirely restored. We commenced with but a
teaspoonful of Bitters a day. Her appetite and
strength rapidly increased, and she is now well.
Respectfully, Mrs. O. M. Dkvoe.”

believe the Plantation Bitters have saved my life.
